Longyan Mountain, the garrison of the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

Wang Zhangxu, commander-in-chief of the 29th Army, received a telegram from "Wuchang is in emergency" as soon as possible.

"Bang!"

Wang Zhangxu, who was born in the Sichuan Army, slapped the table, pointed at the officers in the conference room, and roared: "Ge, the Japanese are very sinister. I don't know where they came out and they actually hit our rear."

"Just just now, Chief Xue from the war zone called me and scolded me. I have never been so angry since I left Sichuan!"

"Now, the Japanese are attacking Wuchang, and we are all aware of it. If it weren't for the Wuchang defenders' alertness, he would have lost Wuchang long ago!"

At this moment, a group of Sichuan Army officers asked for battle.

"Commander-in-Chief, I am willing to lead my troops to set off and go to Wuchang to rescue immediately."

"Commander-in-Chief, give orders. If you delay it, Wuchang will be in danger!"

"All officers and soldiers of our 67th Army are willing to be rescue pioneers!"

Immediately, Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhangxu did not hesitate at all and said in a deep voice: "Xu Shaozong, I will order you to lead the 67th Army to Wuchang to rescue!"

He paused and said, "Xu Shaozong, please tell me. If you can't get to Wuchang City within 4 hours, I will be the first to shoot you!"

"yes!"

Xu Shaozong, the commander of the 67th Army, shouted: "In 4 hours, if my 67th Army cannot get to Wuchang City, I will be punished myself and thank the world if I don't need the commander-in-chief!"

Xu Shaozong, from Qingxian County, Hebei Province, is currently the commander of the 67th Army of the Sichuan Army and the rank of lieutenant general.

In the early years, he was ordered to suppress the Communist Party many times, but he often let the water go. He ordered: "What does the dispute between the two parties have to do with my soldiers? If you have the ability, we will also go north to fight against Japan. What is the ability to fight in the nest?"

In December 1949, Xu Shaozong led his troops to revolt in Guanghan, Sichuan, making indelible contributions to China's unification.

The head of the Ninth War Zone, the office of the acting commander Xue Yue.

Note: The commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone was originally Chen Cheng.

He was the absolute confidant of Chairman Jiang, and was known as the "supervisor" and the "little chairman". However, as early as January 1938, he was transferred to the Sixth War Zone and served as the commander-in-chief of the War Zone.

Xue Yue, because he is not the direct descendant of Chairman Jiang, although he is outstanding in ability and has a high position, he is not Chairman Jiang's confidant.

In August 1938, he succeeded as the "acting" chief of the 9th War Zone.

The word "Dai" lasted for more than a year, and it was not until September 1939, when the first battle in Changsha, that the word "Dai" was removed.

The reason for this is actually related to Chairman Jiang’s employment standards. Chairman Jiang has three standards for employing:

First, a soldier from the Huangpu system was the old team that started with Jiang Jiang;

Second, the fellow villagers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are of course the best if they are from Fenghua Xikou;

Third, be absolutely loyal to the Chairman.

All of the above three points are available, including the National People's Party group, Chen Cheng is the only one!

Xue Yue shouted at a group of officers and said, "What do you do for food? He actually let the Japanese army pass through several lines of defense one after another and reach the rear. Do you know what this is?"

"This is a shame!"

"It's not that I, Xue Boling, are embarrassing alone, but that our entire ninth war zone, and 470,000 officers and soldiers, have all become laughing stocks of the party and the country!"

Upon hearing this, the officers below were all ashamed.

Forty-seventy-seven thousand people set up several lines of defense outside Wuhan, and the Japanese made them touch the rear without realizing it. This is not a shame, so what is a shame?

Xue Yue said again: "Wang Zhangxu, the 29th Army, has sent an army to return to Wuchang. If Wuchang can be protected, we still have room for help."

"But if Wuchang is lost, then I, Xue Boling, and everyone here, will be the sinners of the party and the country. What are the faces? Let me see the 40 million compatriots in the motherland again!"

As soon as the words came, the officers were even more ashamed and their faces were extremely flushed.

"Sir Xue, please let me lead my troops back to Wuchang!"

"Yes, the number of Japanese troops attacking Wuchang is unknown. I am afraid that they will not be the opponents of the Japanese."

"Commander, please give orders, Wuchang cannot be lost!"

"If Wuchang is lost, then all the three towns in Wuhan will be in danger!"

"If Wuhan is lost, then my millions of soldiers of the National Army will completely become rootless duckweed!"

"Wuhan is the rear of our army, and all the supplies of our front-line troops will be completely interrupted."

For a moment, the entire war zone chief was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

The three towns in Wuhan are the rear and front-line troops of the 1.1 million countries. All materials, ammunition and supplies are allocated by the Wuhan rear.

Once the supply is interrupted, no matter how brave the soldiers of millions of countries are, without ammunition, food, or medicine, what can they do to fight like a tiger or wolf?

Not to mention that I have been persisting for half a month, I am afraid I can't resist it even for 10 days. Then the result of welcoming the national army soldiers will inevitably be a big defeat.

Millions of countries, one of them will not survive ten generals.

Once the main force of the National Army is lost, what else can the entire China resist the Japanese army?

Wuchang cannot be lost!

The three towns in Wuhan cannot be lost!

At this moment, the war zone commander Xue Yue frowned tightly, facing the request of the officers and soldiers to lead their troops back to the aid.

Xue Yue denied it!

"Nothing!"

"The situation in Wuchang is unclear now, and the Japanese army's strength is unknown. Once we draw troops from the front line and return to Wuchang, then the troops on our front line will be in a very empty state, and many defense lines will become very weak. If the Japanese army seizes this fighter and launches a large-scale attack on our defense line, what can we resist?"

"What's more, our front line is hundreds of kilometers away from the rear of Wuhan. Even if it is a cavalry, it will take at least 2 days. Even if we arrive in Wuhan, we will be unable to make a comeback and will be trapped in the front and back attacks of the Japanese army."

Suddenly, all the officers were extremely unwilling to give up, but they also knew that Xue Yue's words were correct.

"hateful!"

A lieutenant general and commander gritted his teeth and said, "Then we can't just watch it like this!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Yue's eyes were fascinated and said firmly: "The only thing we can do now is to guard the front line at all costs. We must never let a Japanese man cross our defense line!"

"As for whether Wuhan can be defended, it depends on the Wuhan defenders and the 29th Army!"

"This will be a gamble, a gamble that concerns the lives of millions of countries and soldiers!"

"I, Xue Boling, don't believe it anymore. We can't defend a Wuhan area with our lives!"

"We will definitely win this gambling!"

For a time, Wuchang, one of the three towns in Wuhan, became the focus of attention of the entire Ninth War Zone and even the entire National Military Group.

If Wuchang is lost, the three towns in Wuhan will be out of order. If Wuhan falls, then the Sichuan and Chongqing will open their doors, and the entire China will be in danger of defeat.

Whether or not you can defend Wuhan now depends on the three regiments in Wuhan and the 29th Army in the direction of Longyan Mountain.

But no one knows that the few thousand people in the White Tiger Column are the first combat power to guard Wuchang!
