    Despite the difficult situation and the uncertain future, the Chinese army has such resilience. After receiving the combat order from the Third Corps, Tian Zhennan, Song Xilian and other troops took action and rushed to the front-line battlefield to stop the Japanese army.

    In early October, Song Xilian led his troops into the Shihe area to block the enemy's westward advance.

    At the beginning, Song Xilian planned to place the defensive position on the line of Shihe River. After all, there is a river. It is relatively easy to deploy defenses along the river, but it is more difficult for the Japs to attack.

    But after on-the-spot investigation, Song Xilian and others found that the Shi River was neither wide nor very deep. After all, October in the south of the Yangtze River was not the season for river surges, so it was obviously not easy to stop the enemy.

    In desperation, Song Xilian could only find another battlefield. He personally led several division commanders to the Yejiaji area to survey the terrain.

    By this time, Tanaka's 13th Division had arrived at this line and was already at war with the Chinese army, and the battlefield was on the bank of the Shi River 10 kilometers away.

    Since there was no suitable battlefield at the moment, Song Xilian could only order the vanguard of the 71st Army to fight fiercely with the Japanese army along the Shihe River to prevent the Japanese army from crossing the Shihe River and approaching the Dabie Mountain Pass.

    Taking advantage of the opportunity when the troops could still hold on, Song Xilian seized the time to find a new battlefield. He had no choice but to make do as time was running out.

    Perhaps it was God¡¯s blessing that allowed him to discover a treasure trove of Feng Shui that could change the strength of the military¡ªFujin Mountain.

    Fujin Mountain on the west bank of Shihe River is shaped like a fan and is close to the south side of the highway.  From this, one can not only control the highway and kill the enemy from a high position, but also retreat directly to the back of the mall when the situation is unfavorable.

    After discovering this treasure land, Song Xilian was overjoyed and immediately led his people to Mount Fujin. After looking around, he felt even happier.

    Starting from the middle of Fujin Mountain, the ridges go straight down to the ground and up to the top of the mountain.  Looking around from the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Yejiaji, Shihe and nearby open areas. In this defense, the Japanese army's mobilization and supplies can be clearly seen, but the Japanese cannot see the situation of the defenders on the mountain.

    Song Xilian immediately decided to deploy the 36th and 88th divisions in Fujin Mountain, turning this place into the main battlefield.

    The 36th Division is on the left, the 88th Division is on the right, and the attached 61st Division of Zhongsong is sent to the north to defend Gushi. In this way, a line of defense can be built at Dabie Mountain Pass very quickly.

    As long as we can hold on to this gorge for ten or eight days, the corps and the theater will gain time to adjust their deployment, and the future will be easier.

    Song Xilian killed first and then reported. He left the 36th Division and the 88th Division to step up the construction of fortifications. He took his adjutant and chief of staff and went straight to the Shangcheng Corps Headquarters to report to Commander-in-Chief Sun. He believed in his own vision, and even more believed that the Commander-in-Chief, who was accustomed to defense, would not  Will let this good position go.

    After hearing the report, Sun Lianzhong was also very happy. He first checked the terrain repeatedly on the map, and then called in the combat staff who were familiar with the terrain to analyze it.

    After some arguments, Sun Lianzhong said to Song Xilian with a face full of joy: "Commander Song, the terrain of Fujin Mountain is excellent and it is not convenient for the enemy to launch a large-scale attack. You should go back and make arrangements quickly. As long as you can hold the position, you can decide all actions of your unit on your own."

    "Yes! Is there anything else you want to explain?"

    "Well, I just want to remind you that you must keep a certain reserve force to maintain the stability of the defense. If your troops can live with the Tanaka Division on the top of Fujin Mountain for ten days, I will give you credit."

    "I'll do my best. I can't guarantee ten days, but I guarantee that if the Japs cross Mount Fujin, our 71st Army will definitely be wiped out!" Song Xilian said.

    "It's not that serious. The theater commander has already asked Wuhan for help. If nothing else happens, reinforcements will arrive in a week at most! It will be much easier for you over there, but before that, you still need to deal with it on your own.  !" Sun Lianzhong said.

    "yes!"

    After hearing this, Song Xilian's confidence increased greatly. As long as there are reinforcements, it is no problem to hold on for ten days based on the terrain conditions of Fujin Mountain.

    At the moment, Song Xilian bid farewell to Sun Lianzhong and led a group of generals back to the front line to organize the blocking battle at Mount Fujin.

    After Song Xilian left, Sun Lianzhong's anxiety eased slightly, but he was still far from being able to sit back and relax.

    He knew Song Xilian. Although this person had just turned thirty, his qualifications were not small at all. He graduated from the first infantry department of the Central Army Officers School, the Chinese General Class of the Chiba Army Infantry School in Japan, and the Army University.  The first session of the General Officers Workshop. He participated in the Northern Expedition, the Central Plains War, etc. He served as the commander of the 36th Division and the Commander of the 71st Army. He was a very intelligent and talented general.

    As far as Song Xilian¡¯s ability is concerned, Sun Lianzhong still trusts him, butIt's because their enemies are too powerful. Song Xilian used one army to deal with the two divisions of Dongjiure Palace. The disparity was too big.

    If the front lines of Fujinshan and Gushi cannot withstand it, the defense of the mall area will also fail.  Therefore, if we want to defend the mall, we must invest more troops on the front line of Mount Fujin.

    After figuring this out, he immediately changed his plan.  On the one hand, the 30th Army in Tian Zhennan was ordered to move eastward quickly and set up defenses behind Song Xilian, ready to support the defenders of Fujin Mountain at any time.  Chen Dingxun's Sichuan army was quickly mobilized to enter the mall area and urgently built fortifications.

    At the same time, he also issued orders to Yu Xuezhong and Feng Zhi'an, who were trapped behind enemy lines near Huoshan and Lu'an, to do everything possible to turn westward and strive to join the corps in Shangcheng.

    If return is indeed impossible, we will do our best to attack the reserve forces and logistical supplies behind enemy lines to attract Japanese troops to return for reinforcements, so as to reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

    He did everything Sun Lianzhong could do, and used all available troops without reservation.  In terms of troop formation, he is worthy of Bai Chongxi, but from now on, we can only look at the soldiers in front.

    Of course, when doing these things, Sun Lianzhong did not forget to ask Wuhan for help!

    There is no way, the troops he has now are really too few, even if he is exhausted, he will not be able to last for too long. He is in urgent need of reinforcements, otherwise he will not be able to hold on for long.

    Wuhan. Military Commission.

    In the past few days, as a large number of Japanese aviation troops were transferred to the battlefield in Central China, Japanese aircraft began to become rampant again and launched large-scale air raids on Wuhan City again.

    Although the Nationalist Government deployed a large number of air defense forces in Wuhan City and the air force coordinated operations, it still suffered considerable losses.

    Under the large-scale bombing by the Japanese army, the atmosphere in Wuhan became tense again. The streets and lanes of the city, the sandbao road villages, and the sentries were numerous. There were large and small air defense positions everywhere. From time to time, officers and soldiers with loaded guns walked by on the streets, their expressions on their faces changed.  Very dignified.

    At the same time, as a large number of civilians were killed in the bombing, unclaimed dead bodies lying on the streets were everywhere, giving the city a terrifying atmosphere of war.

    A few days ago, Jiujiang City fell for the second time. The enthusiasm of Wuhan soldiers and civilians because of the victory at Wanjialing came to an abrupt end. A shadow of failure enveloped the entire city and everyone's heart.

    In the underground headquarters of the Military Commission, Chairman Chiang was presiding over the meeting with a frown on his face. The officers attending the meeting were all senior generals of the National Army who stayed in Wuhan, including Chen Cheng, Minister He, Chen Cheng, Luo Zhuoying and others.

    Chairman Chiang frowned and put down a telegram in his hand, and then asked in a deep voice: "How is the battle situation on the Nanxun line?"

    Chen Cheng said immediately: "Back to the committee, the news we have received is that the Japanese army is actively deploying troops and generals. According to the news we have received, the Japanese army has temporarily given up its plan to attack Guangdong, and its main force, the 18th Division, has already arrived.  On the way to Jiujiang, the 22nd Division of Tuqiao has already stationed on the Hangzhou-Shanghai front line, and the 116th Division of Lieutenant General Shimizu Yishige has arrived in Nanjing and has plans to move westward."

    "But so far, the Japs have not continued to attack west or south, probably because they don't have enough troops, so there is no need to worry about the battle on the Nanxun line for the time being!"

    "That's good!"

    Then Lao Jiang continued: "The fighting on the north bank of the Yangtze River is very urgent these days. Telegrams for help from the Fifth War Zone and the Third Corps are coming one after another. I almost have a headache. Think about what to do.  Bar!"

    Chen Cheng thought for a while and said: "Commissioner, the battle on the front line of Fujin Mountain is related to the overall situation of the entire northern battlefield. It will be fine if Song Xilian's troops can withstand the Japanese attack, but if they cannot, the consequences will be disastrous!"

    "Ci Xiu, do you mean that we must reinforce them?" Lao Jiang said in a deep voice.

    Chen Cheng nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, the appointment, and the number of reinforcements cannot be too small, and the combat effectiveness cannot be too weak! If we send a straw bag army all the way there, it is better not to send anyone at all.  !¡±

    "The number of troops cannot be too small, and the combat effectiveness cannot be too weak. Where can we find such troops?" Lao Jiang asked with a frown.

    For a moment, everyone in the conference room fell silent!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
