    About half an hour later, Liu Yuanlin, Shi Zude and Zhou Zizi arrived one after another.

    There was a look of fear on the faces of the three people, obviously frightened by the explosion just now.

    At the beginning of the meeting, Zhong Yi said sadly: "Everyone, before we start the meeting, I want to tell you a very bad news. The Japanese have just carried out suicide bombings on our train station, Guishan and Snake Mountain fortresses. None of the three fortresses were able to carry out suicide bombings."  Hold on, you've already been blown up by the little devil!"

    "Huh? They were all blown up?"

    Zhou Zi¡¯s face turned pale when he heard this.

    Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude also looked at each other.

    The biggest reliance in the defense of Wuhan is the Hankou Railway Station Fortress and the Guishan and Snake Mountain fortresses. Without these three fortresses as defensive support, how can we fight this battle?

    Can Hankou still be defended?

    Can Wuhan still be able to hold on?

    Liu Yuanlin and Shi Zude suddenly felt that their eyes were dark!

    However, the shock was not over yet.

    After a pause, Zhong Yi added: "It should be noted that not only the three fortresses of the Railway Station, Guishan and Snake Mountain were destroyed, the heavy artillery groups of Guishan Fortress and Snake Mountain Fortress have also been destroyed. This is also  That is to say, in the next battle, we will no longer be able to obtain artillery support from Guishan and Snake Mountain!"

    Zhu Liangcheng continued: "In other words, from now on, we will only be able to withstand the Japanese artillery fire, but will not be able to use artillery fire to fight back! The next defense battle of Hankou and even the entire defense battle of Wuhan will return to the previous situation.  The Battle of Shanghai and even the Battle of Nanjing!¡±

    "There are still differences!" Zhong Yi said, "The Battle of Hankou and even the entire Wuhan Defense War are different from the Songhu Battle and the Nanjing Defense Battle. The Songhu Battle and the Nanjing Defense Battle are completely passive defenses. For defensive operations,  There is no advance planning for how the subsequent war should be fought, but that is not the case in the Wuhan Defense War!"

    After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "The Wuhan defense battle has a summary of Jianghan defense!"

    Liu Yuanlin said: "Zi Ren, the cornerstone of Jianghan's defense outline is Hankou Railway Station and Guishan and Sheshan fortresses. But now that these three fortresses have been destroyed, can this defense outline still be implemented in place?"

    Shi Zude also said: "Yes, if the three fortresses are intact, we are fully confident that we can hold on for at least a year. But now that the three fortresses are gone, how long can we hold on? Half a year? Or three months?"

    "Three months?" Liu Yuanlin said with a bitter smile, "I think one month is enough!"

    Shi Zude added: "If we can only hold it for a month, the main force in the fifth theater will not be able to restore its combat effectiveness. If we force a counterattack, I'm afraid there will be no threat. And I'm worried"

    Liu Yuanlin and Zhu Liangcheng's expressions became serious. They knew what Shi Zude was worried about.

    Zhou Zizi had the same worry, and he said it directly: "Brother Zude and I have the same worry. By then, the fifth theater and even the headquarters are likely to give up the counterattack! By then we will be completely abandoned!"

    Liu Yuanlin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Zi Ren, how about we retreat?"

    "Yes, retreat!" Shi Zude agreed, "While the Japanese navy has not yet arrived, and the Han River and Yangtze River waterways are still in our hands, quickly cross the river and retreat to Hanyang and Wuchang, and then confront the Japanese across the Han River and Yangtze River  , As long as the Japanese navy does not break through the Tianjia Town Fortress, we still have a chance to defend Hanyang and Wuchang Towns!"

    Zhong Yi did not express his position, but turned to Zhu Liangcheng and asked: "Old Zhu, what do you think?"

    Zhu Liangcheng thought for a while and said: "Personally, I am very reluctant to give up Hankou. I really want to fight to the death with the Japs in Hankou. However, from a rational point of view, it is wise to give up Hankou and retreat to Hanyang and Wuchang."  Yes, because doing so can preserve your vitality as much as possible!"

    After Zhu Liangcheng finished speaking, Liu Yuanlin, Shi Zude and Zhou Zhouzi all looked at Zhong Yi.

    Although Zhu Liangcheng is the nominal commander-in-chief of the Hankou Defense Area, Liu Shi and everyone on Wednesday know very well that Zhong Yi is the actual commander who really makes the decision!

    ¡­¡­

    Almost at the same time, at the Chongqing headquarters.

    When Principal Chang hurried into the combat hall, he saw Chen Shi, He Yingpei, Bai Chongbei, Xu Yongsheng and other senior generals with solemn expressions, standing silently in front of the sand table.

    There were only a group of senior counselors busy on the sand table with wooden poles and war games.

    ¡°Obviously, this group of senior staff officers are conducting war games on the sand table.

    Seeing Principal Chang hereAccompanied by Xi Wei, he walked in quickly, and the senior generals and senior counselors in the hall turned around and saluted Principal Chang.

    Principal Chang returned the gift, and then walked quickly to the simulation sand table.

    What is being deduced on the sand table is the offensive and defensive operations of the three towns in Wuhan!

    Judging from the sand table, the situation of the national army is quite unfavorable!

    Without any unnecessary nonsense, Principal Chang asked directly: "What is your conclusion?"

    Chen Shi immediately said: "Principal, I have already said that the battle in Hankou is probably on the line. Brother Jiansheng and Brother Weizhang didn't believe it at that time, but what about now?"

    After pausing for a moment, Chen Shi clapped his hands again and continued: "As a result, that little devil Dongjiu Nigong Nianyan launched a suicide bombing on us, using three Type 96 land attack aircraft as an opportunity.  At the cost, we blew up the Hankou Railway Station, Guishan and Snake Mountain Fortresses which we relied on as Qiancheng in one fell swoop!"

    Principal Chang asked in a deep voice: "Are the three fortresses definitely destroyed?"

    Principal Chang learned from the lessons of the Nanjing Defense War. While entrusting the command of the Wuhan Defense War to Zhong Yi, he also left the Wuhan Military Command Station in the three towns of Wuhan. In name, it was to assist the Wuhan Garrison Commander in dealing with the infiltration of Japanese spies.  In fact, he also has the task of secretly delivering news to Chongqing!

    Because Principal Chang doesn¡¯t want the situation in Nanjing to happen again!

    During the Battle of Nanjing, Principal Chang tried to get in touch with Zhong Yi many times, but he was never able to get in touch!  So this time he learned his lesson and took precautions!

    Before coming to the headquarters, Principal Chang had already received news from the military commander. He knew that Hankou Railway Station, Guishan and Snake Mountain Fortresses had been bombed, and that the three fortresses were likely to have been completely destroyed!

    But after all, the news about the military command had not been confirmed, so Principal Chang still had a trace of luck in his heart. However, Principal Chang's luck was soon shattered by the cruel reality.

    "Yes, Principal!" Liu Sheng sighed softly and continued, "The Wuhan Garrison Headquarters has just sent a telegram detailing the extent of damage and losses to the Guishan, Snake Mountain and Hankou Railway Station fortresses! This Japanese bombing  , causing structural damage to three fortresses. In addition, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers were killed and hundreds were seriously injured!"
