The convoy drove out of the airport with a gust of wind and headed towards the Old River Estuary. In the car, Wilkie and Lin Wei sat side by side, neither of them wanted to speak. The road was not very good, and the bumps were more harmful. Neither of them could help but grab the back of the front seat to maintain their balance.

Before the victory, Chiang Kai-shek cooperated very well. He quickly arranged Wilkie's trip to the Fifth War Zone and asked Lin Wei to accompany him personally. Xuerki did not bring all his members, only Breen and Thomas were with him, who happened to be diplomats and soldiers.

The convoy gradually drove out of the forest and walked onto the old river kou Avenue. As soon as I stepped on the avenue, the situation was different. The convoy's speed quickly slowed down. A large convoy of vehicles, unicycles and wheelbarrows appeared in front of the road, covering up the motor sound of the car. The car slowly moved forward and the driver couldn't help but honk the horn. The wheelbarrow in front of the car was a pair of men and women. The man held hands and pushed the car with his hands, and the woman pulled the rope in front.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the woman looked back and signaled the man to push the roadside. The wheelbarrow slowly leaned towards the side of the road, just like a biwalk, the wheelbarrow slowly went to both sides. Wilkie looked at the wheelbarrow outside the window. This was the first time he had seen such a wheelbarrow, but what he paid more attention was that there were many women and elderly people in this convoy, and even many half-year-old children. The things on the car were mostly sacks and bulging sacks. The front of the convoy was not a wheelbarrow, but a group of people carrying stretchers.

"Find a place to park." Wilkie told the driver. The driver quickly found a fork in the road and stopped the car. Wilkie got out of the car and looked at the crowd and asked Lin Wei: "What are they doing?"

Lin Wei was also quite puzzled. He turned his head to ask the Deputy Chief of Staff Gong Chu. Gong Chu smiled and said, "This is a front team formed by the National Rescue Association. The battlefield is getting southerly, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the logistics supply is not enough. The National Rescue Association has formed some front teams."

"Membersman, where are you from?" Gong Chu grabbed a white beard and carried a stretcher.

The old man asked.

"We are from Yun County." The old man replied.

"Are you going there?" Gong Chu asked again.

"South, Wuhan" The old man stopped and looked at the officer in front of him. He didn't know how old this person was, but he looked quite a bit small. He looked at Gong Chu and said, "Sir, the National Rescue Association said that the troops are going to counterattack Wuhan, and let us send food to the troops."

"Yun, have you sowed in spring?" Gong Chu knew a lot about farming. At the beginning of the battle, Gong Chu was not in command Gaonei, but was repairing the political and engineering school. Until yesterday, he returned to Laohekou, but was sent by Zhuang Jihua to welcome Wilkie and his party.

"Half-sowed." The old man had wrinkles on his forehead. He had been rushing for a long time. He simply opened his clothes and exposed his bronzed and slightly loose skin. Seeing the look on Gong Chu's face, he smiled: "It's okay, I'll tell you to save the country. Those who stay at home will help sow seeds, and they can't miss the ground. Besides, isn't it also for us to support the ** to fight the Japanese?"

While a few words were heard, the stretcher team had already walked away and the wheelbarrow team had come. The old man hurriedly said goodbye to Gong Chu and quickly chased the team. Lin Wei and Wilkie had already heard the conversation between the two clearly.

"General Gong, where is your car? Why don't you get it with a car?" Wilkie was very surprised.

"Mr. Wilkie," Gong Chu sighed: "Our cars are limited. There are now hundreds of thousands of troops in Nancheng. Our cars are only a hundred, which is not enough. Now these cars are pulling ammunition and wounded, so they can only rely on manpower to force forward food."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the wheelbarrow convoy in front of him: "Mr. Wilkie, from the beginning of the battle, our National Rescue Association and the Party Departments of various counties formed hundreds of front teams. In northern Hubei and western Henan, a total of 200,000 people were mobilized to support the battlefields on the north and south. Many of them were like soldiers, carrying the wounded from the line of fire and forcing the ammunition to the garrison.

"Look at it, some of these wheelbarrows are husband and wife, some are father and son, and even some are grandchildren." Gong Chuhao sighed. Li Zongren has been in the Fifth War Zone for several years, persisting in promoting social reforms, supporting the National Saving Congress, and successfully organizing society. He has been working in these front teams for the past few years.

Wilkie silently looked at the far away team of the front team of Sce, sighing in her heart that China and Japan could no longer be described as ordinary wars. Instead, it was a total battle that mobilized all classes of society, involved national history and culture, and all the country's entire Yaoyuan. The two nations were doing their best to put everything into this war. The team of the front teams was the best proof.

"It can be seen that your organization is very successful. General Gong, I now understand why you can win the Battle of Northern Hubei." Wilkie's praise was relatively plain, and to some extent it could only be considered polite.

"It's a pity that such an organization came too late," Gong Chu commented without hesitation: "If we had such a social organization six years ago, we would have defeated 7 Japan."

"Brother Fuchang is right. I understand why the Cultural Revolution insisted on social reform. If we carried out social reform ten years earlier, the Japanese would not have fought to Wuhan." Unexpectedly, Lin Wei also sighed. During his camp in Kunming, he also heard that the people in western Yunnan organized a support team, but they had never been there in person, and the shock they suffered was far less than that.

The front team walked forward silently without knowing how much impact their actions had brought to these senior generals.

From the airport to the headquarters, in just a few dozen kilometers, they met several front teams one after another. Even outside the headquarters Luliu Village, they also met a front team dominated by the people of Luliu Village. The people who were left behind were playing drums and drums to send off their trips, as if the army was going on a war. Xu Jingxiang, deputy director of the Political Department of the War Zone, was bringing people to farewell.

"General Lin, Mr. Wilkie, the commander is fighting, he ordered you to meet

Waiting in the room, of course, if you want, you can go to the war room."

Zhuang Jihua did not welcome Wilkie and Lin Wei at the commander's office, but instead sent Guo Yueping, director of the War Zone Liaison Office, to wait here.

"Shao will go to the war room," Wilkie was a little anxious. He chose the war room without considering it at all. He wanted to see how this Chinese general, who had different evaluations in the Allied generals, commanded the war.

Gong Chu and Guo Yueping didn't say anything, and walked towards the war room with their jaws. Lin Wei frowned slightly. After taking two steps, he whispered to Yueping: "Has the situation of the war changed?"

Guo Yueping nodded and replied in a low voice: "Yes, it is said that the guy from Fengdao did not choose to withdraw from Wuhan through Xiaogan, but suddenly advanced eastward in Xiaochang. In addition, part of the Jinzhong troops in Huanglingji retreated back to Hankou.

Lin Wei couldn't help but stop. He suddenly stopped, but Thomas, who was following behind, was caught off guard and almost hit him.

"What is Anan Weiji doing? He doesn't want Wuhan anymore?"

Lin Wei's voice was a little loud, which made Wilkie and Gong Chu in front of him stop. Wilkie turned around and saw Lin Wei a little

He looked shocked and couldn't help asking: "Lin, what happened?"

"Oh, nothing, the situation in Wuhan has changed." Lin Wei realized his incompetence,

He immediately smiled concealedly, and then walked to Wilkie's side.

"Oh, what's the change? The Japanese started to counterattack?" Wilkie asked.

"I don't know yet, let's go to the war room." Lin Wei made a gesture, and at this moment he was a little excited and anxious. If Guo Yueping was right, the biggest victory since the War of Resistance Against Japan would be won.

Fengdao turned around and advanced eastward. It was difficult for Wuhan to defend without this force; another signal was sent from the Huanglingji battlefield. Today's troops were struggling to support it, and the troops suffered heavy casualties and the defense line was shaking. Anan Weiji transferred troops back from here, and there was only one explanation, he wanted to give up Huanglingji.

But if Wang Tingji gave up Huanglingji, more than 100,000 troops of Wang Tingjiu will come to Hankou City and meet with Wang Guobin's troops going south in the Fifth War Zone. At that time, Wang Guobin will provide Hanyang and Wang Jingjiu will attack Hankou. With the current troops, it will be impossible to stop them.

If so, Lin Wei quickly came to a conclusion that Anan Wei would give up on martial arts

Chinese!!!?

In the combat room, Zhuang Jihua was standing on the ground, in front of the map, the staff around him were expressing their opinions and expressing their opinions on the new trends of the Japanese army.

“····, Fengdao’s purpose is probably to bypass my Xiaogan defense line and enter Han via Huangpo

Yang." A staff officer shouted.

"Impossible," another thin-looking staff member immediately retorted: "The Seventh Army and the Thirty-First Army behind Toyoshima. If Fengshima wants to enter Hanyang, he must cross the Fu River. Under our air superiority, there will be heavy casualties."

"When, if my Xiaogan troops catch up and Ning Du attacks him, they can completely defeat Fengdao." Shangguan Jun thought and shook his head, as if he saw the Fengdao troops being completely defeated: "So, Anan Weiji would not make such a decision. He is not so stupid. I think Anan Weiji is ready to give up Wuhan."

As soon as these words were spoken, almost all the staff members were shocked, but He Wei nodded frequently. Zhuang Jihua still maintained that expression and walked slowly in front of the map.

"Give up Wuhan? Is it possible?" The staff members came to their senses and started to discuss.

"Why is it impossible?" Zhuang Jihua spoke at this time. As soon as he spoke, the staff members' discussions

It stopped abruptly, and at this time he saw Lin Weiwei and others standing outside the door, and walked over.

"Mr. Sheng Dongji, Brother Mo Wen, General Breon," when it was Thomas' turn, Zhuang Jihuachi

I'm suspicious: "This is Mr. Thomas, welcome to the Fifth War Zone."

"General Zhuang, you don't have to care about us. Are there any changes in the Japanese army in Wuhan? You can fight first, and then let's talk." Wilkie held Zhuang Jihua's hand and stared at Zhuang Jihua's eyes sincerely and said, "We are right next to you, don't you mind?"

"It's nothing at all. I heard that General Breon had participated in the European war and was a veteran on the battlefield.

If you have any opinions, please give me some advice." Zhuang Jihua held Bren's hand and said.

Breen held Zhuang Jihua's hand tightly, and the two of them hit the air, and then they retracted it almost at the same time. Breen's feelings for Zhuang Jijlu were very complicated. It was under the influence of this person that the Chinese generals began to resist the US military advisory group intentionally or unintentionally, making the work of the US military advisory group extremely unsuccessful.

"I heard that General Zhuang won every battle and defeated almost all Japanese generals," Bren Diandan smiled: "I was about to see the general's style."

Gong Chu quickly interrupted: "This way, Commander, continue to command, I will rest with Mr. Wilkie and General Breen."

Zhuang Jihua let go of Brann's hand, made a gesture of invitation to Lin Wei, then quickly walked back to the room, and said as he walked: "Continue, what exactly does Anan Weiji want to do? Everyone continue to express their opinions.

He Wei is already very experienced in Zhuang Jihua's working style. He knows that Zhuang Jihua may have a plan at this moment. This discussion is to unify everyone's understanding, and there may be some other meanings.

"Supervisor," He Wei asked: "The Japanese army can build bridges on the Fu River in advance, and the Fengdao troops only need midnight to cross the Fu River."

Shangguan Jun hesitated and looked at the map: "Can v:a let the 102nd Army and the 77th Army advance eastward and occupy Huangpo before the Japanese army."

"But what if Fengshima just flicked a shot?" He Wei seemed to be making things difficult for Shangguan Jun to throw it away again

A difficult problem arose: "After the 102nd Army and the 77th Army advance eastward, they turn around and head south.

Shangguan Jun's momentum was suppressed, and he was silent. Another captain stood up at this time: "You can let the Seventh Army and the Thirty-First Army tightly bite Fengdao, but don't really fight with them unless they go south to attack Xiaogan, or go south to attack Huangpo.

"What's your name?" Zhuang Jihua suddenly asked. "I am a low-ranking combat staff officer, Chao Zhenwei."

Zhuang Jihua closed his beep again, and He Wei was vaguely impressed by Zhuang Jihua's meaning at this moment. He coughed gently and cleared his throat: "It's a good idea to the staff officer, but if Anan's purpose of urging a few is really like the Shangguan staff officer said. Fengdao will probably not go south to Huangpo, but to take Macheng or Songbu, and then go south to Huanggang and withdraw from the Yangtze River."

"But this creates another problem," Zhuang Jihua stopped at this time and looked at everyone: "Anan Weiji's move is very likely to be prepared to give up Wuhan. Kanda can no longer break through the siege, and the destruction will take place in these two days. Once Kanda is destroyed, our army will be able to add 200,000 troops. Together with 300,000 troops in the Ninth War Zone, there will be 500,000 troops surrounding Wuhan. How many troops can Anan Wei mobilize? It will not exceed 50,000 people, ten times the strength and the superior firepower. Anan Wei has no chance. Even if Toyoshima returns to Wuhan, there will be no opportunity. So, now, our situation is that when Wuhan is restored, how many Japanese troops can be wiped out."

Just when the staff members first started their discussion, Zhuang Jihua concluded that Anan was preparing to evacuate Wuhan. Fengdao's operation had two purposes, one was to preserve the troops; the other was to disperse the troops attacking Wuhan from the north to reduce the pressure in Wuhan city.

"Order General Li Pinxian, lead the Seventh Army and the Thirty-first Army to bite Fengdao, but do not take the initiative to launch an attack; order Feng Zhian, lead the Seventh Army and the Thirty-sixth Division, immediately advance eastward, seize Huangpo, and build a blocking position in Huangpo. The 102nd Army and the 95th Division build a blocking position in Xiaogan, and the 103rd Division immediately heads south and returns to build."

"I inform the entire army that when attacking the urban area of ​​Wuhan, rocket launchers and heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 1 yoke are prohibited. Tanks are only allowed to be used in peripheral combat and are not allowed to be used in urban combat.

"Finally, the Chairman of the Communist Party of China asked Wang Jingjiu's troops to be assigned to my command.
