I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 641: The Sorrow of Zhongtiao Mountain (4) Military Meeting in the Attendant's Office

Ono Jipi in Hayata Chiken's headquarters shuddered for no reason.

He looked at the night sky outside the tent, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

The commander of the Second War Zone asked, "Commander Song, will my Jinsui Army not move this time?"

Song Wenwan: "Your three newly formed divisions have all gone up, how can you say that your Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has not moved?

Besides, there may be 100,000 central troops about to enter your territory.

We should leave some troops behind to watch over them, as these defeated soldiers passing through the border are like bandits."

However, there was one thing Song Wenwan didn't say, and everyone knew it.

That is a group of Central Army troops who entered the territory of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. They must be careful of sneak attacks.

You have to know that the one in the attendant room of the temporary capital loves to do this kind of thing the most, such as what happened to the one in the south of the colorful clouds later.

In the brightly lit operations room of the temporary capital's attendant room, many operations staff were busy working on the maps.

They laid out the situation between China and Japan on the map.

And on the side of the map it was clearly written, "Map of the military situation of both China and Japan in Zhongtiao Mountain."

A group of high-ranking generals from the secondary capital gathered around to look at the map.

Many people's eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that they hadn't slept well for several days.

The leader this time is Deputy Defense Minister Xiao Fengchu.

The Minister of Defense was also on the list just now, but he was so angry about a telegram from the front line that he vomited blood and fainted. He was finally sent to the Army Hospital for emergency treatment.

Everyone turned a blind eye to what happened just now. It turned out that this time it was the defense minister who was too unreliable.

This caused the Japanese in Zhongtiao Mountain to have bad intentions towards Zhongtiao Mountain.

The Japanese launched a surprise attack, which caused heavy losses to the Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Logically speaking, Deng Beihou's Sichuan Army disobeyed the command of the Minister of Defense and even verbally challenged the authority of the temporary capital.

It would not be too much to even bring him back and shoot him. At the very least, he should be dismissed from his post on the spot.

But after the Minister of Defense was taken away, no one wanted to deal with the Sichuan Army.

Some people were even thinking about the Minister of Defense who had just fallen ill.

Could it be that he is really a hopeless fool as Song Wenwan said?

So everyone followed Deng Beihou's suggestion and gave the front position to the little phoenix who was the best at fighting.

General Wei, who was called back from the Zhongtiao Mountain front a few days ago.

Because he was more familiar with the situation there, he followed a group of senior generals to study the development of the battle.

Everyone could see General Wei's shoulders shaking violently from behind.

Everyone who is familiar with him now knows how angry General Wei is now.

"Huh, I was wondering why the Japs were attacking so quickly. It turns out that the defense line I set up was changed so drastically."

The Minister of Military Affairs said, "Brother Wei, be careful with your words," and then began tapping the ground with his toes awkwardly.

You can say that General Wei is suspected of colluding with the Communists, but you cannot say that there are problems with his military qualities.

Although the Defense Minister did something wrong this time, it was too obvious that he sacrificed local warlords in order to protect the interests of the central army.

But we all belong to the Central Army, you cannot blame the Minister of Defense in public.

Otherwise, after the Zhongtiao Mountain War is over, you will be put in cold storage for a while by the bigwigs in the attendant room.

General Wei was a man who knew the importance of things. After venting his dissatisfaction, he did not dwell on the matter.

He asked, "How many troops did the Japanese army send to the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain this time?"

Xiao Fengchu: "This time, the Japanese army dispatched four divisions under the command of Hayata Chixian."

General Wei: "Where are the Japanese follow-up troops? Why are they not marked on this map?"

This question, which struck directly at the depths of his soul, almost made Xiao Fengchu unable to cope.

Xiao Fengchu: "The Japanese troops that attacked Zhongtiao Mountain did not receive any support this time."

General Wei once again looked at the map in confusion and gestured on it with his hands.

"You mean, the Japanese used one division to target the three divisions of the Sichuan Army?

Use another division to launch a fierce attack on Guishe Slope between the 207th Division and the 80th Army?

The people from the 80th Army didn’t send any troops to participate at all?

And the only Kuomintang army defending Guishepo was Xie Jinfang’s division?

In other words, Deng Beihou and Xie Jinfang tied down half of the Japanese troops.

And within forty-eight hours, the 200,000 national troops on the southern front couldn't even withstand two divisions of the Japanese devils?

Not only were they unable to stop the Japanese attack, but even the Fifth Army was preparing to flee in advance?"

General Wei expressed his opinion in disbelief, then turned to look at the group of generals and senior advisors behind him.

The people behind him have already entered into a collective embarrassment...

Finally, it was the Minister of Military Affairs who broke the silence. He said, "Brother Wei, you have been leading Zhongtiao Mountain for a long time. See if there is any way to solve the current dilemma."

General Wei: How come you think of me when it comes to cleaning up the mess?

If I were still in Zhongtiao Mountain, the current predicament would not be a big deal.

At that time, he had 300,000 troops under his command, pressing forward on the southern front and the northern front.

Looking for Commander Suo Wuxing to borrow a guerrilla division and a heavy artillery brigade to encircle them from behind.

It is estimated that before the guerrilla divisions can get in place, the Japanese soldiers from the four divisions will have to run away.

Otherwise, once the guerrilla division's troops arrive, the four divisions of the Japanese will be able to eat as much as they want.

But now, just wish for nothing!

General Wei had no good solution to this problem for the time being.

He could only avoid looking back and pretend that he didn't hear the question from the Minister of Military and Political Affairs.

At this moment, the awkward atmosphere on the scene was finally broken by the arrival of a communications staff officer.

"Report, the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, General Song Wenwan, and General Suo Wuxing have jointly sent the latest battle report."

For some reason, everyone in the war room felt a sense of relief when they suddenly heard Song Wenwan's name.

Everyone thought of a legend, "Wherever Song Wenwan appears, there will be a big battle, and there will be victory."

Although the Central Army represented by the Minister of Military and Political Affairs and the Gansu Army represented by Song Wenwan had irreconcilable differences.

But now, even in his heart, there was a little hope.

Staff Officer: "To the Chief of the Temporary Capital's Aide-de-camp, the Fifth Army has experienced a sudden change and has been fully deployed.

At around 10:00 p.m. this evening, they arbitrarily abandoned all their positions and fled towards Henan.

Our positions on the southern front of Zhongtiao Mountain are now in chaos, and our Second War Zone Command has been forced to take over wartime command.

We now order the 98th and 80th Armies on the southern and northern routes to hold their positions until 6 a.m. tomorrow.

At that time, reinforcements will come to cover them and they will retreat safely to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's defense zone to rest.

I hope they will overcome all difficulties and allow the troops covering the second and third lines of defense to retreat first.

Order the 13th Central Army Group, as well as the 77th and 78th Divisions, to hold the southern line positions until 6 a.m. tomorrow.

After the third front line was arranged, the 13th Army and the 77th and 78th Divisions took turns to provide cover.

Using the second and third lines of defense, after blocking the enemy, we withdrew to Henan and Shaanxi to rest and wait for orders.
