Two hours later, Li Chunfei came here with a plan that could almost be said to cover all defense areas in Hankou. Among them, the defense areas of the troops directly under the regiment headquarters accounted for nearly one-third, and this part was close to Hanyang and Hankou Wharf.

.

Looking at this plan, Zhang Tianhai wrote a few sentences on the line "Sir, Instructions" on the submitted paper: If you plan, please ask all troops to implement the plan and organize training quickly. Immediately. Zhang Tianhai, 20th of the Republic of China

October 20, 8th.

Zhang Tianhai looked at the time and it was only 9:05, so he ordered: "Immediately notify the battalion commanders of each battalion and the company commanders of each company directly under the regiment headquarters, and immediately concentrate on the meeting in the headquarters conference room.

Before, I want to see everyone!"

"Yes! Group seat!" Li Chunfei replied. He also knew the importance of this matter, so he immediately went to execute it.

After Li Chun flew away, Zhang Tianhai picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hey, please pick me up the Hanyang Security Command right away!"

The phone call was quickly called to the Hanyang Security Command, but the person who answered the call was not Zhou Fangjie, because there were several extensions inside, so Zhang Tianhai could only add: "I am the Hankou Security Commander Zhang Tianhai, please pick me up Hanyang immediately.

In the Office of the Security Commander, I'll look for Zhou Fangjie!"

Soon, the phone was connected.

"Hey, is it Lao Zhou? I, Zhang Yulin, please send someone to receive the equipment immediately! But you should do it more secretly and don't let the people in the garrison headquarters know." Zhang Tianhai said directly.

"Okay, no problem. As expected, you, Old Zhang, are generous and refreshing. You can give the equipment of this battalion as soon as you say it, without blinking. Don't say anything, I owe you a favor for this."

Zhou Fangjie's voice was extremely cheerful.

"Okay, then I won't talk nonsense to you. If the order from the upper city is issued by the top, if there are no ships to pick up our First Guard Regiment, I hope you can ignite the fire later and let our regiment live.

"Zhang Tianhai said very seriously.

"Of course there is no problem with this." The other end of the phone said directly, "But I have agreed to you that whether the upper peak is to issue a defensive order or a retreat order, we must both call us. Our two groups

The defense zones are all adjacent to each other. We will advance and retreat together if we want to do anything."

"Okay, I'll feel relieved with you." Zhang Tianhai said seriously. He also knew that Zhou Fangjie was giving him face and leaving him a way out.

No matter what, Hanyang is located behind Hankou. Even if the fight starts in front of Hankou, Hanyang's troops can retreat safely. It does not mean that if Hankou starts fighting, Hanyang's troops will not be able to escape.

...

After the phone was hung up, Zhang Tianhai breathed a sigh of relief, and what he wanted to do was basically arranged.

Wuhan must burn the city. The key is how to get the First Guard Regiment to evacuate from here safely. This is a big problem.

...

When the First Guard Regiment made arrangements, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone was also studying something.

That is about the increasingly powerful offensive of the Japanese army in the east of Wuhan (i.e. the Japanese army on the north bank of the Yangtze River) and the fact that the main force of the Japanese army's northern line had already gone south.

"Sir, the troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River are almost unable to withstand it. Whether it is Huo Kuizhang's 54th Army or Guo Chan's 94th Army, they are already tired. Guan Linzheng's 32nd Army is also

In order to block the Japanese fast column with all efforts, this Japanese fast column not only strengthened a large number of cavalry, but also strengthened the armored troops. In addition, the air firepower support is also very fierce. At least it can be achieved when it can reach an attack.

Ten aircraft support operations." A senior staff officer reported to Chen Chenghui, who is also studying the situation.

"Such a fast column with such a strong combat power, looking at their direction, I thought of Yunmeng... Now their vanguard troops have crossed the Huang'an line, and the progress is very fast..." Chen Cheng sighed and said.

"Sir, if the situation continues like this, Wuhan will be very dangerous." Gao Shen said.

"It's really dangerous. This is the North Bank of the Yangtze River troops in the middle of the road. I want to meet with their northern line troops heading south on Xinyang. This Okamura Yasuji must be said that his wishful thinking is indeed very loud.

…” Chen Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. The situation was beyond his expectations.

Liu Fei, who had been by the side, finally spoke: "Sir Chen, I personally think that the significance of defending Wuhan is no longer that great. Yesterday, the Japanese army landed in Daya Bay in Guangzhou. Yu Hanmou is now trying to find a way to defend it.

Guangzhou. But it is obvious that Guangzhou cannot be defended. We must be prepared to lose Guangzhou within three days."

"What Director Liu said is indeed very reasonable. Guangzhou has been occupied, and our supply line of Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway is paralyzed." Although Chen Cheng did not want to admit it like this, the facts were already in front of him, and he couldn't help but refuse to go.

Admitted.

Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Guangzhou has always been the largest port for foreign materials to enter China. Tens of thousands of tons of materials enter here almost every day. Now even the Japanese army has entered Guangzhou. To put it bluntly, the Japanese army wants to cut off your

The supply line allows your front line troops to have no guns or bullets available. This move cannot be said to be pissy.

The Japanese army landed from Guangzhou, which was a ruthless move; but the Japanese army on the Eastern Front wanted to meet with the Japanese army on the Northern Front in Yunmeng, which was a killer move.

These two moves played by the Japanese army almost forced the commander of the Ninth War Zone and the Wuhan Garrison Command into a very embarrassing situation.

Similarly, if the troops in the Ninth War Zone were not stretched, Chen Cheng would not have transferred the troops of the Wuhan Security Command to the front line.

Well, I forgot to say that before the establishment of the Wuhan Garrison Command, there was a security command in Wuhan, and the Wuhan security commander was Guo Chan, the commander of the 94th Army.

A few days before the establishment of the Wuhan Garrison Command, due to the shortage of troops around Wuhan, Chen Cheng had to order Guo Chan, the 94th Army, who was originally planning to garrison Wuhan, to go to the front line to withstand the pressure of the Japanese army, and then the second guard was found

The regiment was expanded to strengthen the regiment, and was also preparing to transfer back to the scene where the First Guard Regiment, which had just ended the Wanjialing battle, took over the Hankou Defense Zone.

The First Guard Regiment has a strong combat power and a huge organization. Including the strength of the Second Guard Regiment, which is preparing to be expanded into a strengthening regiment, it is indeed enough to guard the two defense zones.

"The significance of defending Wuhan to the death is no longer great. If we do not retreat at this time, we will ruin the First Guard Regiment and Second Guard Regiment in the War Zone. Both of these regiments are strengthening regiments. If used properly, their combat effectiveness will be extremely strong

. Moreover, after the army retreats, our troops will no longer support the battle to defend Wuhan." Liu Fei said slowly, with clear and heavy words, "Sir Chen, you are the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, you

The decision is a decision at the theater level, and you must consider it clearly.”

"I know." Chen Cheng nodded and looked at the huge national military map next to him. The pattern on the map looked like a crabapple flower.
