    Although Li Guoyao didn't know anyone, he could tell who had the highest military rank in the conference room. The person holding the rank of general didn't need to guess that it was Zhang Fakui, commander of the Second Corps.

    Regardless of the General Brigade of the National Government, the officers at the brigade level are basically major generals, and the officers at the division level are lieutenant generals. However, like the Japanese army, the National Government does not have many generals, only a dozen or so of them.  .

    Although Jiujiang is the main battlefield, the only general on the front line is Zhang Fakui.

    Therefore, Li Guoyao did not hesitate. After entering the door, he saw their respective military ranks and went straight to Zhang Fakui!

    "Report, Li Guoyao of the 61st Army has come to report, please give instructions, sir!"

    His voice was loud and powerful, and everyone in the conference room was looking at Li Guoyao, so just one sentence made everyone excited!

    "Hahaha, it's Commander Li here. I'm Zhang Fakui. I heard that Commander Li just severely damaged the Japanese aviation force in Wuhan, which greatly reduced the pressure on the frontline troops. Thank you!"

    Li Guoyao said immediately: "Sir, I'm overly rewarded. I don't dare to take the humble position. This all depends on the support of the commissioners and the lives of my brothers!"

    "Commander Li doesn't seem to know me, Zhang Fakui, very well. I never like to praise others, but I really want to praise you. Whether it's Tanabe Moritake or that bastard Japanese prince, Commander Li really beat us."  The majesty of the Chinese army, the Bengbu Defense Battle alone resisted the three main divisions of the Japanese army, and Guide Yi even used one army to resist the siege of the five Japanese army divisions. I, Zhang Fakui, asked myself that I couldn't do it!" Zhang Fakui said seriously!  .

    "Sir, thank you!" Li Guoyao said humbly.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a fluke, but I¡¯ve seen real results. Take a seat!¡± Zhang Fakui said.

    Li Guoyao stopped being pretentious and nodded immediately, then sat on a seat not far from Zhang Fakui.

    At half past eight, after everyone arrived, the meeting started immediately.

    After the meeting began, Zhang Fakui changed his previous moderate attitude and said with a solemn expression: "Everyone, more than ten days have passed since the fall of Hukou. During this period, the Japanese army has not continued to advance westward. After investigation,  There are two reasons for the Japanese army's delay in taking action. One is that the Japanese frontline troops have been fighting continuously for a month and a half. A large number of troops are exhausted and continue to rest and recuperate, and ammunition is in urgent need of replenishment."

    "The second is that Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji, the commander of the newly formed 11th Army of the Japanese Army, was delayed by something. A few days ago, the Japanese army clashed with the Soviet army at Zhanggufeng on the Sino-Soviet border, and there was an intention to start a large-scale war, so the original  Neji Okamura, commander of the Second Division stationed in Mudanjiang, had to postpone his move south."

    "But just two days ago, news came from the Japanese army that Okamura Neji has arrived. So what can be expected is that once Okamura takes office, it means that there is no possibility of a war between Japan and the Soviet Union in the northeast.  , so the Japanese army will inevitably send a report to Wuhan within a short period of time."

    Li Hanhun, commander of the 64th Army, immediately said: "Yesterday, our unit saw a small Japanese reconnaissance force west of Hukou. The two sides fought for several rounds with casualties, but there are various signs that the Japs are indeed about to attack.  !¡±

    Zhang Fakui nodded and said: "Everyone is familiar with the situation of this war. The overall strategy was formulated by Chairman Chiang himself. The core idea is"

    While speaking, Zhang Fakui¡¯s thoughts returned to two months ago.

    At that time, the Japanese army had not yet taken Anqing, and the main force was still fighting the Japanese army in eastern Henan, but the arrangements before the Wuhan battle had already begun.

    In the meeting room of the Wuchang Military Commission, Chairman Chiang proudly expressed his thoughts: "The three towns of Wuhan must be guarded, but guarding is not easy. There is no danger in the suburbs of Wuhan, especially in the north of the city. And the city is cut off by the Yangtze River.  There are lakes and swamps all over the outside, so it is definitely not a place for long-term battles. So how to defend Wuhan? I would like to ask the generals to take a longer view. Look at Qianshan and Taihu Lake in the northeast, and don¡¯t miss the dangers of Shuangmen Pass and Wusheng Pass in the north. In fact,  , Fushan Mountain, Dabie Mountain and the Yangtze River on the periphery of Wuhan are our best natural barriers."

    "You can imagine that if our army fights based on three towns, the war will inevitably affect the city, and Wuhan's political and economic importance will be lost. In the besieged city, our army is like a turtle in a urn. The lessons of Nanjing are not far away, and we must not forget them!  Therefore, if Wuhan wants to fight, it must fight far away. In short, defending Wuhan without fighting in Wuhan is the best strategy."

    Yes, Chairman Chiang¡¯s core idea is to defend Wuhan without fighting in Wuhan. In Chairman Chiang¡¯s original words, the current situation in Wuhan is quite similar to the Battle of Berlin on the Eastern Front in Europe in the autumn of 1914.

    At that time, the German army had limited troops. In order to ensure that the capital BerlinLin, initially had a plan to retreat to the Waixel River.  However, after General Hindenburg took over the command, instead of adopting such a passive tactics, he determined to take advantage of the weakness of the Russian 1st and 2nd Fronts separated by lakes and swamps to switch from defense to offense.

    Although many people expressed doubts about this at the time, the unprecedented annihilation of the German Tannenberg proved that Hindenburg was right. After that, the Russian and German armies fought more than a hundred major and minor battles, and the German army in the Eastern Battlefield always held a favorable position.  With the worries on the two battlefields eliminated, Berlin is naturally fine.

    Looking back at the conference room of the Second Corps Headquarters, Zhang Fakui imitated the tone of Chiang Kai-shek and said: "Everyone, Wuhan today is indeed very similar to Berlin back then. The Yangtze River and the Dabie Mountains separated the Japanese into two or even three roads.  This provides our army with a good opportunity to divide and attack. This is the case. As long as our army can fully exert its combat effectiveness, the Tannenberg of the past will appear in Wuhan today."

    "But the situation is still unclear. The key to defending Wuhan is to defend Jiujiang, and the key to defending Jiujiang is all of you here and the troops in your hands. So far, there are 3 armies and 4 divisions in and outside Jiujiang. The total strength  There are more than 100,000 people, let¡¯s arrange the combat missions of each army!¡±

    When everyone heard this, they straightened their backs and looked respectful!

    "Order: Wang Jingjiu's 25th Army, Li Yutang's 8th Army, and Li Hanhun's 64th Army are deployed in the Xingzi, Gutang and Jiujiang areas along Poyang Lake to block the westward advance of the main forces such as the Japanese Botian Detachment, and use the existing  There are fortifications and favorable terrain to stop the Japanese army."

    "yes!"

    "Order: Li Yannian's 2nd Army is located at Tianjia Town Fortress, Huo Kuizhang's 54th Army is located at Dock Town and Fuchikou Fortress on the bank of Ruichang River. Wu Qiwei's 9th Army is located at Huanglaomen and Mahuiling on the railway line at the western foot of Mount Lu  , Sun Tongxuan's 3rd Group Army (missing the 55th Army) controls the Ruichang and Yangxin areas west of Jiujiang."

    "yes!"

    "Order: Li Guoyao's 61st Army gathers on the line between Pingtoushan and Yong'an to prevent the Japanese troops from landing on the Yong'an line and attacking behind Jiujiang!"

    "yes!"

    "Order: The 32nd Army Corps of Guan Linzheng is to assemble in the Xianning and Puqi areas south of Wuhan as the mobile force of the Corps."

    "yes!"

    After issuing the order, Zhang Fakui said in a solemn tone: "Everyone, you may not know the situation in Wuhan. I returned to Wuhan for a meeting two days ago and found that the entire Wuhan people were supporting the front line and launched a movement to defend Wuhan, whether it was  Both the government and the people are doing their best to defend our city of Wuhan, from our Chairman Chiang to our ordinary people, they all have the greatest determination."

    "Chairman Chiang also said at the meeting that the current battle to defend Wuhan will be the beginning of our decisive battle against the enemy. In this war, we must increasingly consume the enemy's power and defeat the enemy's main force."

    "Today, Wuhan has become the most important stronghold in the third phase of the Anti-Japanese War. It is the base for our revenge and the cornerstone of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Today, the people across the country, especially every soldier and civilian in Wuhan, should inspire the greatest hatred against the enemy.  Everyone is determined to live or die with Wuhan to defend this important defense fortress"
