For a top-notch unit, equipment, morale, strength, and the commanding ability of the commander are all very important. Therefore, the national army that does not fully meet these conditions can only choose to fight in the face of the Japanese attack.

Evacuate.

The JU 52 "Aunt Juncker" aboard the Chairman of the Generalissimo did not immediately go to Chongqing in the rear. Instead, it arrived in Changsha first to command new defense deployments to resist the Japanese troops.

When the Chairman arrived in Changsha, in the combat conference room,

When a small number of senior officers were talking negatively, the Generalissimo couldn't help but slapped the table, leaned on the crutch in his hand, and scolded his generals angrily.

Especially those officers from the capitulation faction who wanted to sue for peace with the Japanese made him even more angry.

"As long as we can win a few more great victories like Taierzhuang and Wanjialing, we can consume more Japanese officers and soldiers! So there is nothing great about the little devil!"

Finally, the chairman yelled angrily.

After being scolded by the chairman of the committee, everyone stopped talking, and then came to Mr. Zhou's explanation of protracted warfare and guerrilla warfare.

In the end, the Chairman of the Generalissimo accepted Mr. Zhou's proposal. Just as he said, he would follow the advice of others, so he prepared to open guerrilla warfare training courses for all his officers.

At the beginning of these meetings, Commander Xue, who had won a great victory in Wanjialing, also officially replaced Commander Chen and became the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone.

At this time, he was in a large group of cars on the way to evacuation to Changsha. However, Commander Xue's mood at this moment was not focused on him being able to take over the commander-in-chief of Changsha immediately after arriving in Changsha.

The matter of great power is the ongoing Battle of Yangcheng.

During the war, the source of information from that side was still a little slow. If he hadn't been in a relatively high position, he might not have received the news that Yangcheng had fallen.

"What on earth is Commander Yu doing? Why was he so easily defeated by the Japanese army?"

"And you still gave up the entire Yangcheng without fighting?"

"What happened there? Did the Japanese army come with a lot of troops? Did something happen that I didn't expect? Otherwise, how could it be like this? The entire Yangcheng was abandoned without fighting? I cannot accept such a result!

"

When Commander Xue looked at the latest battle report on the fall of the enemy, he felt a dull pain in his heart, because that was his hometown. Although it was Yangcheng that fell, it was not his hometown, but after the fall of Yangcheng, Commander Yu led

After the troops withdraw, can his hometown continue to enjoy peace?

As someone who fights enemies on the front line, he knows very well what will happen once there are no troops to guard the place.

In fact, when he received the news that the Japanese army was splitting up its troops to attack Yangcheng, he wanted to take his troops and rush back immediately to support the operation. However, before he could go back to support the operation, news of the successive falls on that side had already been heard.

battle report,

I watched helplessly as my hometown was completely destroyed in just over 10 days, and was completely occupied by the enemy's sneak attack army.

In the end, even the Yangcheng city that I was most concerned about fell to the ground without even a day of resistance and fighting.

Faced with such an unacceptable ending, he was very upset.

There was even a vague feeling of complaining towards Commander Yu.

No one dared to interrupt Commander Xue's anger and irritation, because these were not things that junior officers like them could discuss.

"Buzz buzz! buzz buzz..."

And just after Commander Xue finished speaking, when no one responded, there were bursts of buzzing engine sounds of airplanes in the sky.

"It's a group of Japanese planes. It seems that there is trouble in Changsha this time. They should be bombing the Hankou side!"

After seeing these Japanese bombers, an adjutant beside Commander Xue said worriedly.

"It should be so. There are still Duanhou troops on the Wuhan side who are persisting in fighting! So the target of these Japanese planes should be us Duanhou troops. It's a pity that we can't support these friendly brothers!"

"But fortunately, the target of these devils is not our troops marching on the mountain road, otherwise we would be in trouble!"

Commander Xue looked up at these menacing Japanese planes and responded with a very complicated mood.

"Then should we let the troops take cover now? I'm worried that the Japanese plane group will suddenly discover us and change the direction of the bombing, Commander!"

When Commander Xue said this, the adjutant who had just finished speaking suddenly suggested worriedly.

"Well! Let the troops take cover immediately and wait until all the enemy planes have left before they come out!"

"Otherwise, if our whereabouts are accidentally discovered by these Japanese aircraft, our evacuation route may be exposed! It will bring fatal danger to our troops!"

Commander Xue immediately agreed to the adjutant's worried suggestion.

Then he quickly asked everyone to drive their cars into the woods to hide, and then the troops still some distance behind also hurriedly hid in the nearby mountains and forests, hiding, waiting for these to suddenly appear.

The departure of Japanese planes in the distance in the sky,

Half an hour later, when all the Japanese aircraft groups had left for a period of time, Commander Xue only approved his troops to leave the place quickly when his subordinates were sure that no Japanese aircraft were conducting reconnaissance or coming back to bomb them.

, speeding up the evacuation march and evacuating towards Changsha.

Because the ship that took them to Changsha was at the port on the other side.

.......

.......

At this time, in Yangcheng, Liu Feiyang had also received the order from the Chairman to evacuate, as well as the order to send personnel to come and evacuate with him.

However, Liu Feiyang asked the officer who stayed there to give the chairman a reply, saying that he would be the rear guard to contain the Japanese army attacking Wuhan.

In response to this, the Chairman, who was eager to leave Wuhan, agreed without saying much, then left Hankou and took the JU 52 "Junkers" to Changsha.

"Have you given up on Wuhan so quickly? Do I need to fight on both sides now?"

"In that case, forget it! Let Zhang Jintao, Zhang Genlin, and Huang Xinyi who are staying in Hankou lead the troops to resist the Japanese army! But they don't have many troops. Let Commander-in-Chief Chen leave me more troops.

Okay, and you also need to prepare to receive the remaining soldiers after the break!"

When Liu Feiyang received the news that the Chairman had evacuated Hankou through his subordinates who were staying in Hankou, he immediately frowned, thinking about new countermeasures and mumbling to himself.

Then he also quickly sent a telegram to Commander Chen,

Commander Chen, who was facing the imminent loss of Wuhan, was very upset at this moment, because the Chairman of the Generalissimo issued an order, asking him to resolutely implement the scorched earth strategy, burn the city, and not give the Japanese a single blow if Wuhan was not secured.

intact city,

When Napoleon attacked Russia, the opponent's generalissimo used the scorched-earth strategy to defeat and trap Napoleon's 600,000-strong army to deal with the situation when Wuhan was about to fall.

But faced with the obstruction of the foreign business group, Commander Chen gave up this idea.
