.Severe reality, Tokyo Base Camp's severe orders, and the emperor's extreme concern for the war in Wuhan finally forced Yokoyama to issue an order to draw most of the garrison troops from Yichang and Yidu to take military vehicles and detour from the north to quickly return to Wuhan. After all, once the three towns of Wuhan fall into the hands of the Chinese army, it will not only be a destructive blow to the Japanese army's current situation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but also the entire Chinese war situation is likely to retreat to the situation during the war in Wuhan. This historical responsibility is not his small military commander.

The commander could afford it. However, Yokoyama Yong still had some reservations. Not only did he not draw out a soldier from the Xiling Gorge War Zone, he also urged Lieutenant General Chiluli to defeat the Chinese army in front of him at all costs, and then rushed to Enshi and Chongqing. As a result, the Japanese attack on the key points of the defense of the Chinese army with Shipai as the core showed a kind of crazy outrage. Correspondingly, Jiji in Shipai and other places was dangerous, and in turn further stimulated the attack strength of the New Twenty Army on Wuchang.

For a moment, this grand battle turned into an extremely dangerous situation against the generals!

On the 27th, Wulongquan Town located between Xianning and Wuchang.

"...After the fierce battle all night, the offensive of the 68th Division of the Japanese army did not diminish at all, but became more and more fierce. From the early morning, the Japanese army followed me to transfer troops and broke through our new positions... Each division suffered huge sacrifices. In addition, the New 219th Division was the most. With today's losses, the self-superior and counterattack battle was uncertain. The division's deputy commander, six officers, were killed, and the battalion commander, had two more troops, company and platoon officers..." Cheng Jiaji, who was promoted to lieutenant colonel's staff, interjected: "Enough! Dongsheng, you need to tell me based on the current situation. How much time will it take for his troops to meet Yokoyama Yong?"

Qin Dongsheng, who was in his early twenties, had a pretty white face that was very popular with women. He wore a plain eye and looked pretty gentle and elegant young man. If he didn't know the details, who could connect him with the ruthless and murderous little water bandit on Poyang Lake back then?

Qin Dongsheng, who had already been calculating about this, replied rushingly: "Even if you bet the reserve team, you can only hold on for another two and a half days!" Seeing this, he said with a gloomy look, and he hurriedly added: "The main problem of our local officials and soldiers is too tired, which seriously affects their combat effectiveness. If the blocking troops can breathe a sigh of relief, the situation should be much better."

Although the time given by Qin Dongsheng made Cheng Jiaji's mood fall to the bottom, Cheng Jiaji had no doubt about its authenticity. In fact, with the comprehensive combat power of the New 27th Army and the 116th Division, which can support it all the way, it has greatly exceeded Cheng Jiaji's psychological expectations. As for the troops' physical strength after a long period of continuous combat, Cheng Jiaji also saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. But what are the solutions? Who said that our country is weak and the people

Poverty is because of physical fitness. It has been a lot worse than the Japanese since childhood. It is easy to really let the attacking troops take a breath. It can be done by pulling a division from the troops that are attacking Wuchang. But wouldn’t that hit the opponent’s ground? They are just hoping to relieve the pressure on Wuhan! If they can temporarily stop the attack on Wuhan and turn the main force to defeat the 68th Division first, they will have a great chance of winning, but can Shipai last until that time?

Just as Cheng Jiaji was in a dilemma, Qiu Shaoyan, with a warm face, walked in.

"Junzu, the commander of the war zone commander called, the 74th Army succeeded in attacking Yidu and was advancing towards Yichang."

To be honest, the fierce attack of the 74th Army of the female has been in trouble for a long time is undoubtedly great news for the overall battle. However, this seems not to be the case for the battlefield in central Hubei, and it will instead prompt the 100,000 Japanese troops to return as soon as possible. In other words, if the Forty-Eighth Army could not turn the enemy back at that time, then all previous efforts would be wasted, and they would often be severely damaged by the Japanese army...www.piaotian.com.com.

After concentrating for a while, Cheng Jiaji suddenly broke out: "Send a report to the New Twenty Army, so that they will bite Wuchang down within two days! From now on, without my order, every position will be kept for me until everyone dies!"

It is easy for Cheng Jiaji to give an order, but Wen Song is far away, but it is difficult for Qian Shen to execute it.

This is not because Wuchang is so solid. The ancient city wall here was demolished more than ten years ago. After the Japanese occupied Wuhan, they were in a tight situation. Although they had claimed to reorganize the city walls of the three towns. However, due to many reasons (mainly the traitors interfered with Japanese supervisors and embezzled project funds). Over the years, a high and thick city wall could only be considered a ground-level siege. As for Hanyang, Hankou only symbolically dug a trench three meters deep and two wide. In fact, less than an hour after the battle to attack Wuchang began, the strong New Twenty Army rushed into Wuchang City at the same time from several directions.

The Japanese army had too many troops and could not be defeated? No! Although the Japanese army transferred from Yichang and Yibin were constantly crossing the Yangtze River from Hankou, it was far from reaching the level of power that could truly affect the battlefield.

The New Twenty Army made slow progress in street fighting. It was because they were completely despicable (the Japanese officers and soldiers below Lieutenant General Yokoyama were sneering at this statement. They believed that they had never had any heart. What kind of conscience came from there!) The Japanese used the most "arson"! To be honest, Qian Shen, just the city that was struggling in the fire, could not help Qian Shen. With his cold and cruel temperament, he would probably burn him and burn him to the ground, and simply burn all the Wuchang urban areas to flat ground. But it was difficult. There were still a large number of Chinese people in the city. You could not watch them all be burned to death by the Japanese army! Since you don't have such a hard heart, you have to stop to put out the fire from time to time and save people, and you have to climb slowly in the city!

"Old Qian, come and take a look at this telegram. We can conquer Wuchang within two days. Boss Cheng is really anxious!" Wen Songyuan, who was palpitations, said while handing the telegram to Qian Shen's hand who was almost crowded with brows.

"The situation must have changed new, and it is a life-and-death change. Otherwise, with the character of Junzu, I would rather draw some troops from us than limit the time limit so urgently after I already knew the situation here." Qian Shen didn't even read the telegram, but he revealed the secret of heaven.

"Then what you mean is that Boss Cheng is hinting that we let the troops put the territory first, and the others have to be put second?" From Wen Songyuan's tone of pain and disapproval, it can be seen that he firmly opposes this. You must know that after a slowdown, there are tens of thousands of people.

"It's you who are trapped in the fire. No one has ever thought about it like this, and no one will do it!" The heart that has been missing for many years made Qian Shen's face flushed.

"Old Qian, what should you do now?" Qian Shen's answer was so unconfident when asked by Wen Songyuan: "I have no choice! Nowadays, all we can do is to attack, attack, and attack day and night!"

At the same time, he was very stubborn, but he was unsure whether he could win Wuchang in two days. Cheng Jiaji, who was just the last fight, summoned Gao Shiying, nominally, in charge of the logistics affairs of the group army.

"Brother Xiaomin, you'll set out tonight!" Gao Shiying, who was confused by Cheng Jiaji's words, asked, "Junzu, I don't know where to go?"

"I asked Ma Sanbao to take two battalions of the Guard Regiment to escort you and the convoy, and follow the road north of the New Twentieth Army to return to Jianli." Although Cheng Jiaji still didn't understand the matter this time. However, as smart and skillful as Gao Shiyingdu, his heart was already clear. This was to set up multiple supply stations on this route in advance so that when withdrawing from Wuhan, the troops could have no worries. Otherwise, if he was just sent to take a trip, why did he need the guards of the two battalions to protect him? How could he take a convoy?

Gao Shiying, who knew that when the army retreated, was most likely to cause trouble in logistics supplies, replied arrogantly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to follow the people!"

"Bring more supplies! Set a few more points!" Cheng Jiaji whispered when he sent Gao Shiying out. The reason why he was so pretentious was that he could not be forced. When the soldiers on the front line were fighting bloody battles, no matter what, the word retreat could not be spit out of the mouth of the commander of the three armies.

When Cheng Jiaji sent Gao Shiying back, he suddenly felt a chill on his face. He reached out and touched it, it was water!

God bless you! The ancestors appear! It’s raining! And the drizzle quickly developed into a downpour!

While this rain made all the officers and soldiers of the New Twenty Army cheer and extinguished the last glimmer of hope for the Japanese army to defend Wuchang. At that moment, even when the wife and daughter who had been separated for many years were reunited, Qian Shen, who had not shed tears, cried with joy! Wen Songyuan even shouted to thank the heavens!

At 9:00 a.m. on the 28th, the famous city of Wuchang in the first dynasty returned to the hands of the Chinese. The Japanese defenders rushed north in a hurry and retreated to the Han Dynasty.

After the Chinese army captured Wuchang, the 68th Japanese division, which thought it was unable to fight against the entire Forty-eighth Group, immediately retreated towards Puqi. This veritable timely rain and victory rain fell until late at night on the 28th.
