.On April 5, Chongqing Military Commission.

"...... The 10th Army of the Ninth War Zone, the New 18th Army, with the cooperation of the 48th Army's southward troops with a force of about 20,000, broke the blockade of the Japanese Sama Division south of Puqi on the third day of this month. The above three units merged into one, advanced northward, and arrived at Hesheng Bridge, Nandaemun, Wuchang at 9:00 this morning. Now they are fighting fiercely with the Japanese Third Division defending the area." A small baby-faced major general who looks like he is in his early thirties, pointed to the large military map of one-thirty-one on the wall, and talked to the senior officials who were sitting around the rectangular meeting: "The current situation in Wuchang is as follows: Although the Japanese army on the southern front repeatedly launched fierce attacks, they are still blocked from our patrol of the Sihe River defense line. The Japanese on the east side are on the Japanese side. The army has made great progress recently. At dusk yesterday, the front line was fully advanced near the former site of Wuchang City. What's more, one of them broke into the city from the former site of Binyangmen in the early morning of this day. Fortunately, our new 100th Division relied on Sheshan to give a head-on blow to the Japanese army and quickly drove it out of the city, which did not cause a major disaster. In the most active and most damaged Japanese army cluster in the moonless night offensive that occurred on the second day of this month, there has been no big move since then. At present, the enemy and our army are still in the Canyingkou, the former site of Wushengmen, and the Qingshizui confrontation. But we have reason to believe that with the despair of Xujiapeng, the desperate situation behind the enemy, the fall of Xujiapeng, which had been struggling for fifty hours. The relative calm in the north of Wuchang City will not last long."

"Dongzhi, do you think the Japanese army besieging Wuchang will focus on attacking the east or north next." Even the person who is most disgusted with Minister Chen cannot deny that he has always been extremely caring and caring for his trusted subordinates. Just like now, Minister Chen's interruption and questioning was simply to show his face in front of the supreme authorities for this young general of his lineage. And to pave the way and build a bridge!

Seeing that General Chen was helping him with the characters in his bag, he was very busy, but Minister He didn't say anything. The eyes of several military and political leaders were a little bit not right.

"In my personal opinion, the Japanese army will set the direction of the landlord attack in the next stage of the battle." Sure enough, the young and energetic major general, with his decisive judgment, attracted the high attention of the Supreme Government. The Supreme Government smiled and waved his hand, signaling the other party to explain the reason clearly.

"As we all know, compared with other directions, the east side of Wuchang is the widest terrain and the most convenient for the large army to unfold. However, if the Japanese army takes the east side as the main attack direction, they have to compete with me for the peaks of Snake Mountain one after another. That will inevitably result with half the result. On the contrary, if the Japanese army hit the top of Snake Mountain from north to south, once they succeed, they can cut Snake Mountain into two sections to achieve the goal of completely destroying the originally fragile overall defense situation in Wuchang. Besides, choosing the north side as the breakthrough point, the Japanese army on the Yangtze River and the Japanese army on the Hanyang direction will be much more convenient to support it." After the baby-faced major general said, he stood there with bright eyes, waiting for the highest authorities to comment.

In fact, the Supreme Government only heard half of the time and agreed with the judgment of the place. After all, the Japanese army was gradually at a disadvantage in terms of the overall situation of the battle, and time was undoubtedly the most important for the Japanese.

After applauding and affirming the analysis of the Baby Face Major General and immediately informing the Wuchang defenders of this expectation, the Supreme Government asked him casually: "Dongzhi, is there any latest news on the Hanshui River?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

Who could sit in this conference room? How could he not even have such a little bit of vision? The Supreme Government was expressing this implicitly. He was dissatisfied with the slow-moving Hanshui War. Otherwise, he would have asked this more with the frequency of reading the war reports. After understanding this, Minister He and his generals, who had to take some responsibility for this matter, all complained secretly. And they wanted to use this matter to attack their opponents, and for this reason, they specifically asked the Baby Face Major General to deliberately suppress the battle report on the Hanshui front line to report to attract the attention of the Supreme Government and the joy in his heart. Of course, both groups of people still looked calm and calm on the surface.

There was naturally no major progress in the Han River, and the Supreme Government naturally lost his temper. However, his way of losing his temper was a bit different. At the suggestion of the Supreme Government, Minister He, who was expected, immediately had an official hat that he never wanted, the Battle Governor-General Officer... As for whom the Supervisor was supervised, it was tacit. Anyway, as soon as the meeting was disbanded, Minister He had never been agile for many years, and in just a few hours, he suddenly rushed from Chongqing to the front line of the Han River. It is said that when the special plane landed, he was still bumped by the simple field airport and almost twisted his waist!

Facts quickly proved that the little hardships that Minister He had put in place were of great help to the battle situation. Just as he was still flying in the air, the two main forces on the ground who had been working but not working hard, hurriedly launched another attack. Of course, the strength this time was appropriate and the previous ones, and it was not as good as it was.

Driven by the two armies who tried to make meritorious contributions, the battle along the Han River finally showed a white-hot momentum. Although it was impossible to defeat the Japanese and puppet troops in front of them for a while, this was always a good start!

Wuchang, the southern waist of the Snake Mountain. The commanders of the division and above of the Forty-eighth Army gathered here to hold an extraordinary military meeting.

"After the horse! If those men really think of this, let's make arrangements again. I'm afraid that everyone's bodies will be cold!" Wen Songyuan held the telegram just sent from Chongqing to remind the Wuchang defenders to be particularly careful of the Japanese army in the north.

After automatically filtering out Wen Songyuan's rude words, the princes of the Forty-Eighth Army continued to discuss the issue of being interrupted by the telegram.

Speaking of this issue, we have to mention that the nearly 100,000 people who were forced to escape because the Japanese army came too quickly and had no time to escape. After several days of fierce fighting, the most casualties were not the defenders or the Japanese army. Instead, the civilians who were often caught between the firepower networks of the two armies had basically zero self-defense capabilities. The battle below would only be even more cruel. Leaving these ordinary people, who were mostly elderly, weak, women and children, in the city, was no different from murder in Cheng Jiaji's mind.

Moreover, from a purely military perspective, there are so many civilians in the city that it is impossible not to play a huge negative role in the street battle where the defenders are about to arrive. In fact, this negative effect has been revealed as early as the Moonless Night Battle. At that time, if this unfavorable factor had not been stumbled, the defenders equipped with a large number of flamethrowers on the Japanese army that broke into the north of the city could do the best to clear out the isolation belt and attack them with fire, so how could they do it so hard to fight.

But at this moment, Wuchang City has become an isolated island. It is not easy to send it out by thousands of people.

So, a battle is not so cost-effective, but it is necessary to attack to attract local counterattacks by the Japanese army. Only in this way can we take the opportunity to send some people out from the Japanese bayonets (including Cheng Jiaji, no one dares to hope to send people out at once, which can relieve some guilt in conscience and pressure in reality, so they are grateful.)

After careful discussion by everyone, the general outline of the plan was outlined. But whether this action can be grasped effectively so as not to turn it into another tragic massacre, no one was in his mind and could not beat the blame. After all, this mistake would be tens of thousands of lives!

At this time, another emergency call from Chongqing has arrived!

Cheng Jiaji, who was upset, only glanced at the telegram and stuck it tightly to the thin piece of paper. Driven by curiosity, Wen Songyuan snatched the telegram from his brother. The next second, his vocal shout echoed in the room: "This is really a road ahead. With the help of these iron birds, I will be much more relaxed!"

Ma Siyuan, who was confused, was about to pass the telegram from Wen Songyuan: "The Sino-US mixed flight regiment under the US 14th Air Force (i.e., Flying Tigers) has transferred to Zhijiang Airport, and the regiment will provide direct air support to your headquarters!"

At dusk that day, a group of Wuchang defenders attacked the east under the full cover of the Sino-US mixed flight regiment. The Chinese reinforcements in front of He Shengqiao also launched fierce attacks on the enemy they faced. For a moment, the momentum was very high, and they could respond to the outside world and resolve the dangers of Wuchang in one fell swoop.

Since the Third Division advanced south, the Japanese army, which was greatly weakened, hurriedly increased the troops from both sides to the eastern front.

The following situation developed as Cheng Jiaji expected.

First, a few days later, the New 170th Division, which was strengthened by two regiments of the New 212th Division, did not take much effort to tear a hole in the position of the 17th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army. Akaru Ri was very frightened by this. In order to prevent the Chinese army from rushing eastward, resulting in the complete collapse of the Japanese front, he quickly shrank his troops backwards and consolidated his position.

Don't be surprised why Chi Luli didn't order the troops to block the gap. In fact, until now, the lieutenant general, who was almost suppressed by the Chinese army from all directions, was so breathless that the Forty-Eighth Army, a hard walnut that made his front teeth loose, slid out of Wuchang City. In that way, he would not only get Wuchang without fighting, but also pull out the increasingly difficult troops from the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

It is precisely Chiluli's conservative mentality that objectively increases the safety factor of Chinese people that are rushing towards the gap south of Wuchang.

The refugees passed the gap very quickly. Although they themselves knew that even if they escaped, they were not completely safe. They knew more that their lives were not threatened for a moment than staying in the city. They were always lucky to rush out.

It was dawn and the gunshots stopped. During the wartime refugee evacuation that paid a total of four or five thousand Chinese soldiers' blood and lives, more than 70,000 Chinese people escaped from the Japanese encirclement!

Dear everyone, I wish you all the best in the new year, good health and a happy family!

In addition, in order to celebrate the arrival of the New Year and express my gratitude to everyone, the public will soon lift the ban on two festivals to express their feelings. There will be some people who will lift the ban on New Year's Day tomorrow.

I beg you to work with me to persist in the last moment of 2006!

Thank you, everyone!!!
