Anan Weiji was quite worried at this time, and he was worried that Hu Bin's troops were now in Shaanxi. He didn't know if Hu Bin's troops would go south to attack the troops he attacked. Now, there were two defensive positions that had not been taken down at all. Today during the day, his troops were still attacking those two defensive positions.

"Baga, tell the troops in front that during the day today, we must break through the defensive position of the 99th Army. Otherwise, once Hu Bin's troops head south, our troops will have too little room for activity. If Hu Bin's troops kill, it will cause panic among our troops at that time." Anan Weiji said to the Chief of Staff.

"Hi, I guess the remaining two defensive positions will also retreat tonight," said the Chief of Staff.

"Why?" Anan Weiji looked at the Chief of Staff and asked.

"According to the information we just received, we went to pursue Hu Bin's withdrawal troops and found that there were no people in the villages along the way. We could not find where they were in search of other places. In other words, Hu Bin's side was blocking them like this, and their purpose was to divert the people. So I guess the people in the other two places must have not evacuated, but it was probably just these few days.

This is beneficial to us. If Hu Bin's troops retreat today, then our troops will have a lot of room for activity and put pressure on Hu Bin's base behind. In this way, Hu Bin will force his troops to concentrate his troops to fight us in a decisive battle. Once their second line of defense is broken, then the people behind him, haha," the chief of staff said this and laughed sinisterly.

"Yosi, you're right. As long as we break through one of their defenses, the troops behind them will cause panic." Anan Weiji stood up excitedly when he heard this, as if he saw hope for victory.

"Hi, we are actually at a disadvantage when we fight separately. Putting them in one place will help our bombers play a greater role and will be able to solve Hu Bin's troops.

However, I think next. Hu Bin's troops must have resisted very fiercely. Now is the time to compete for patience and strength. As long as we break through one place, the position behind will be able to break through." The chief of staff said to Anan Weiji with a smile again.

"Yoxi, fight for a week. Kill Hu Bin's main force, as long as you kill Hu Bin's main force in Hubei, it will be useless even if Hu Bin's troops in Shaanxi come back." Anan Weiji was proud when he heard this.

"Hey, the next thing is to look at the troops ahead. I guess Hu Bin's troops may be able to capture Hu Bin's defense line in advance in a few days, which will be very beneficial for the attack behind them." The Chief of Staff nodded and said.

Just as the Japanese were plotting against Hu Bin, Wang Zhixian was in a defensive position between Xiangyang and Suizhou, and his troops were fighting fiercely with the Japanese. The people behind were able to retreat today, so they could retreat as long as they persisted today during the day.

In order to defend against the attacks of the Japanese, Wang Zhixian mobilized another 5,000 troops from the reserve division from behind. The front line is now very casualties, but Wang Zhixian is very confident because this time it has wiped out the Japanese since he commanded the troops to fight. Although his troops have suffered a lot of casualties, he still has many troops to mobilize, so he has no worries about the Japanese rushing up.

"Dadadada"

"Bang bang bang" At this time, Wang Zhixian stood at the observation port and watched the battle situation below. The Japanese troops were still launching attacks. It was almost noon now, and the Japanese troops were not as strong as the attack.

"Mad. Come up, let's see how many days your two divisions can spend with me," Wang Zhixian said after putting down the telescope.

He returned to the command center. There was no crisis in the entire defense line. The Japanese's charge was beaten. Most of the time, both sides were in a stalemate. Wang Zhixian would definitely not charge. There was no time at all. Besides, Wang Zhixian now has the advantage now. He would not foolishly use the lives of his soldiers to make jokes.

"The division commander and the political commissar sent a telegram. The people behind are almost done, and we can retreat at any time." A staff officer stood up and said to Wang Zhixian.

"Retreat at night, retreat during the day, seeking death. Once the Japanese planes come over, I will suffer great losses. Besides, the Japanese know that we will chase after us if we retreat during the day, we can still withstand it now, so we don't worry," Wang Zhixian said.

"Teacher, I don't understand. What can we do if we can stop it?" asked a staff officer.

"How can I know what to do? I just execute the orders and I will definitely consider it. We will do our own things well," Wang Zhixian said.

After almost half an hour, the Japanese troops retreated, and Wang Zhixian went to the observation post again to look.

"The Japanese are tired too. It's such a hot day. Explore attacks and kill you Japanese devils." Wang Zhixian put down his telescope and started to curse with a smile.

"Come on, order the troops to start their meals immediately, and send more water to the water and add some salt. In this way, I sweat too much. The Japanese probably attacked after lunch," Wang Zhixian shouted to the staff behind.

"Yes" a consultant responded.

"It's impossible to launch an attack after dinner. It's so hot, the Japanese are not afraid of being dumbed out of the sun." A senior staff officer heard it and asked in confusion as he looked at Wang Zhixian.

"Hmph, the Japanese have always wanted to invade. Now the troops from the other two places have retreated. Now we and the troops of the 99th Division are blocking the front. If the Japanese below are not in a hurry, they will definitely attack fiercely," Wang Zhixian said with a sneer.

"Teacher, I think this time, we don't need to retreat at all. Just fight here. We will have no problem with persevering for a week, and we will even counterattack them." Another senior staff officer looked at Wang Zhixian and persuaded him.

"Our counterattack is useless. Even if one of our divisions counterattacks, how many Japanese can be killed, we have no problem. Is there no problem with other divisions? If all other divisions retreat, you want to block the Japanese here for a week, and you dream, the Japanese will be able to cut off your retreat from behind immediately." Wang Zhixian looked at the senior staff officer dissatisfiedly and said.

"Yes" the senior adviser immediately lowered his head and responded.

"We are not a division fighting now. You can't see that you can win here. You think that other troops will win. You must obey commands in any action. In the future, you will also go down to be battalion commanders and regiment commanders. If you keep this in mind, the troops will be dragged to death by you.

When the action is done, you must obey the commander, the battalion commander listens to the orders of the regiment headquarters, the regiment headquarters listens to the orders of the division headquarters, and the division headquarters listens to the orders of the military headquarters. What you are considering is not the situation of your division, but the situation of the entire operation.

Why disobeying on the battlefield is a serious crime? It is because once you disobey, other troops will also fall into crisis," Wang Zhixian said to them.

"What the division commander taught me is that the senior staff immediately nodded and started talking.

"Okay, go ahead and go," Wang Zhixian said to them, and then Wang Zhixian lit a cigarette for himself and looked at the orders issued by the military headquarters.

"What do you want to do after releasing so much land for the Japanese?" Wang Zhixian looked at the telegrams. He was also thinking about what the command center was thinking.

Although he knew that the command center meant that they wanted them to let the Japanese come in and fight, with the purpose of dragging the Japanese supply line, he didn't know another purpose, extending the Japanese retreat route, which was actually very simple, just to exchange space for time. Although Wang Zhixian didn't understand, he still firmly implemented the command center's orders.

"Report, the war damage reports of various troops have come. This morning, 229 people were sacrificed and 02 people were seriously injured. There is no count of minor injuries," a staff officer came over to say.

"I guess there are about 4,000 Japanese devils killed. If you don't suffer any losses, you can have the Japanese planes and cannons. It's already very good to be able to be beaten like this." Wang Zhixian took the war damage report, looked carefully, and signed. The war damage report will be sent to the command center, and the summary will be made there.

Next, as Wang Zhixian expected, the Japanese troops had just finished their meal and began to attack, and Wang Zhixian's troops had just finished their meal, and the fierce battle in the afternoon continued.

At night, the 99th Division and Wang Zhixian 04th Division successfully retreated out of the first line of defense and retreated to the second line of defense. The next day, the Japanese began to pursue. In the evening, the Japanese troops had already reached the defensive position less than 50 miles outside Xiangyang.

At this time, the people in Xiangyang City had already left the city. They had received a notice that in order to prevent the Japanese bombers from bombing, they all dragged their families into the deep mountains and forests.

However, they could still see the sound of explosions in Xiangyang City. The Japanese used bombers to bomb Xiangyang City and the defensive positions in the distance. At this time, many young people also joined the logistics team. They helped the front-line troops deliver supplies and ammunition, helped the soldiers on the front-line cook, and some joined the team transporting the wounded.

They saw the wounded from the front line, and the young people came and carried them away immediately, while the woman went to the hospital to help, take care of the wounded, and do what she could.

They all knew that these soldiers were actually soldiers from Hubei, and they were seriously injured to protect their fellow villagers, so the people all joined the helping team. To be continued.
