Anti-Japanese Invincible God of War

"Commander-in-Chief, will this reply be inappropriate? If it causes dissatisfaction with the 4th Army..." At this moment, an officer came over, with a worried look on his face, and said softly.

"This is also a last resort!" Li Zongren showed a tired look on his face, rubbed the center of his brows with a tired face, and said in a deep voice: "I know what the 4th Army has in mind, but what I have to do now It is to force them to fight to the death with the Japanese army! Even if they are really unable to defeat the Japanese army in the end, that will be a matter of the future! Now, their only task is to defend the fortress of Tianjia Town, and they must defend it!"

"Even if it's a retreat, it's not at this time!"

Li Zongren said: "Our battle here has not improved so far. If we are defeated for thousands of miles, it will pale in comparison with the record in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Am I afraid of being scolded? The previous record in the Xuzhou battle is enough to make me proud! I'm just a little unwilling. Obviously, the Japanese army we are dealing with here is not very strong, but we can't make an effective record. It's really a little reconciled!"

Speaking of this, Li Zongren took a deep breath and asked again: "By the way, is there any news from the Third Army?"

"There is no news yet, but they sent a telegram before, saying that there are little devils moving towards the area north of the Dabie Mountains!" The officer said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Li Zongren murmured: "I have placed several units under the Third Army. The 51st, 19th and 77th armies are deployed in the Lu'an and Huoshan areas of Anqing. The 71st The 2nd Army defended the Fujinshan and Gushi areas, while the 27nd Army organized defenses in the Shangcheng and Macheng areas. In addition, the 59th Army and the 17th Army built blocking positions in the Yellow River area, and the [-]th Army organized defenses in Xinyang! Such a defensive force , Stopping the Japanese attack, it should not be a problem!"

Saying this, suddenly an officer ran over, with a look of panic on his face, and hurriedly said: "Commander-in-Chief, the Third Army has sent a telegram!"

Hearing this, Li Zongren's heart thumped suddenly, feeling that something big would happen!

Sure enough, when the officer hurriedly read the incoming telegram, his expression changed drastically.

"What happened? Tell me quickly!" Li Zongren asked in a deep voice, his complexion also a little ugly.

Hearing this, the officer hesitated for a moment, as if he was a bit embarrassed to speak, but in the end he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said, "Commander, what happened to the battle situation in the area north of the Dabie Mountains!"

When Li Zongren asked this question, his voice trembled slightly.

He knew that this accident was definitely not a small one, otherwise, this officer would never have shown such an expression!

The officer took a deep breath and said with a miserable face: "Commander, the Japanese Second Army attacked from Shuangfei in two ways. The Japanese 13th Division on the South Road has already broken through the defense line of our 77th Army. Captured the Huoshan area and turned to Yejiaji!"

"Although the adjacent 71st Army and its 2nd Army are still using their positions to resist, which hindered the completion of the No.13 Division of the Japanese Army, they have already requested reinforcements from the No.16 Division. Rushing to the Fujin Mountain area, the current battle situation is very difficult, although the 16st Army and the 71nd Army Corps usually block, but the front line is already in jeopardy, I am afraid that it will fall soon... soon!"

"Snapped……"

Hearing this, Li Zongren slapped the table immediately, and was about to curse, but suddenly felt his body shaking, the world was spinning, his eyes were full of stars, and a feeling of nausea came to his heart.

"Commander, Commander..."

Seeing that Li Zongren was about to fall, several officers beside him hurriedly supported him, put him on the table, poured some tea for Li Zongren, and then Li Zongren woke up leisurely, but his face was showing A very tired look.

"Commander, are you alright!" Several officers asked worriedly.

At present, the war zone north of the Yangtze River is all pinned on Li Zongren. If Li Zongren falls ill at this time, it will be no less than a disaster for them!

"I'm fine!"

Li Zongren took a deep breath, calmed down slowly, swallowed another sip of tea, and then said weakly: "How could this happen! How could this happen!"

"With so many troops stationed, they were still defeated by two divisions of the Japanese army... Why did this happen! What do the generals in command on the front line do? They can't even stop the two divisions of the Japanese army!"

Listening to Li Zongren's scolding, several officers were silent and dared not speak.

Not to mention that Li Zongren was angry, even they felt a little unbelievable.

So many troops blocked the Japanese army, but they couldn't even stop the opponent's two divisions, and were even rushed by the opponent all the way. This is simply... I don't know what the front line is doing!

"Commander, now is not the time for us to dwell on this issue! I am afraid that for us, the most important thing is to come up with a solution, otherwise, if Fujin Mountain is lost, the mall and other places will be destroyed by the 2nd Army Corps." It is still difficult to block the two divisions of the Japanese army!" an officer said in a deep voice.

What he said was quite euphemistic!

Judging from the previous record of these garrison troops, once Fujinshan falls, the 2nd Army may not be able to stop the attack of the two Japanese divisions at all!

And once the mall falls, the Macheng area may not be safe either!

If that's the case, I'm afraid the war situation north of the Yangtze River will be corrupted to a heinous level!

At that time, it will be very difficult to save the battle!

Everyone understands this truth, and Li Zongren is even clearer in his heart. Therefore, under the circumstances, after hearing what the officer said, everyone was silent!

Chapter 496 The situation is taking a turn for the worse, a critical moment!

There was silence in the headquarters.

Li Zongren and all the staff fell into silence, and no one came out to speak for a while.

After being silent for a long time, Li Zongren finally broke the silence. He said in a deep voice, "In this situation, I'm afraid we can only send troops to help!"

Li Zongren looked at the sand table, pondered for a moment, and then said: "If the Fujin Mountain is not protected, I am afraid that the mall will be difficult to defend. Instead of passively stationing, it is better to transfer the 2nd Corps to defend the Fujin Mountain together! The 2nd Corps is 71 meters away. It won’t take long for the nearest unit of the army to go for reinforcements, this is our only way!”

Hearing this, several officers nodded, and said in a deep voice: "That's the only way!"

Hearing that his order was passed, Li Zongren immediately issued an order: "Pass my order and immediately send a telegram to the 2nd Corps, ordering them to rush to Fujin Mountain to reinforce the 71st Army. Fu Jinshan, waiting for reinforcements to arrive!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the officer immediately stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and went to the telegrapher to initiate a telegram.

"Ah~" Seeing the telegram being sent out, Li Zongren had a sad look on his face, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although the order has been issued, but for some reason, Li Zongren feels his heart twitching, and the center of his brow is constantly twitching, as if something has exceeded his expectations!

Under such circumstances, Li Zongren's heart is also very uncertain, he can't do anything now, he can only do his best to obey the destiny, and wait for the moment when the situation is clear!

Shaking his head and dispelling the messy thoughts in his mind, Li Zongren settled down, then continued to analyze the situation and set up a battle plan!

……

After receiving Li Zongren's telegram, the 2nd Corps stationed in the mall immediately rushed to mobilize troops and horses to reinforce Fujin Mountain. However, at this time, the 51th Division of the Japanese North Road broke through the [-]st Army of the defenders. Line of defense, and quickly captured Lu'an.

Then the 27th Division immediately moved towards Gushi County without stopping, planning to continue westward. Facing such a combat intention of the Japanese 59th Division, the [-]th Army and the [-]th Army of the defenders assembled in the Yellow River area to build defenses. position, ready to start a desperate battle with the Japanese army here.

But the firepower of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army was indeed not what it should be. Although the [-]th Division had been disabled by Chen Qingzhi before, after training, they had recruited many elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness had further increased.

Under the command of the new head of the division, Yoshio Shinozuka, the Tenth Division broke out with impressive combat effectiveness. Facing the blockade of the 27th Army and its 59th Army, the Tenth Division was invincible all the way. Within a short period of time, it was defeated, and then passed the Yellow River smoothly.

Subsequently, the 10th Division successively broke through the 17th Army Corps and the 45th Army of the defenders, and successfully captured Lushan Mountain and went all the way west.

Fortunately, at this time, the defenders stationed in the Xinyang area rose up to fight back, broke up the offensive momentum of the Japanese Fourth Division, and launched a counterattack against the Japanese, causing the Tenth Division to suffer a lot of losses. As a last resort, they retreated to Mount Lushan .

But the Tenth Division did not stop there. He asked the 2nd Army above for reinforcements, intending to make a comeback.

In order to support the Tenth Division, the Japanese Second Army sent the Third Division to Mount Lushan, intending to support the Tenth Division and jointly attack the belief area!

It can be said that the war situation has reached the most critical moment!

The Fujin Mountain was in danger, and the Xinyang area was in danger. For a while, the entire war zone north of the Yangtze River fell into a disadvantage in an instant, and as time went by, the situation was still deteriorating.
