Beat the devil with a system

The major general who spoke was Wei Qianjun, the director of the Confidential Office of the 9th War Zone. He was in charge of confidential documents and intelligence work.

Xue Boling nodded, and then Wei Qianjun, the director of the confidentiality room, said in a low voice: "Director Wei, we are about to go to war with the Japanese army. The Japanese army will definitely find a way to get intelligence when the big battle is coming. Find out the devils in the city."

"Yes, Chief Xue!"

Wei Qianjun responded loudly.

……

After more than ten minutes, the commanders of all ministries were basically present, and Xue Boling called all the officers into the war room for a meeting.

Today is an important meeting. All the commanders who can come from the 9th theater are here, and there are as many as five or 60 people.

"Everyone, I have summoned you today because there is an urgent notice and order to be issued to you in person." Xue Boling glanced at the officers present, and he walked to the stage and said solemnly: "Yesterday I met with the commissioner and discussed with the military officers. The committee’s colleagues and officers have discussed it, and the committee member’s determination to resist the war is very firm, and he means to defend Changsha!”

The chief of staff walked slowly to the stage, and then said: "Everyone, the committee has clearly indicated us, so don't make wild guesses about whether to defend or retreat. My 9th war zone was ordered to defend Changsha to the death. Chief Xue will lead our entire army. The soldiers will live and die with Changsha!"

The chief of staff raised his arms and shouted, and the rest of the officers also raised their arms and shouted passionately.

"Swear to the death to guard Changsha, we and Chief Xue will swear to the death to guard Changsha!!!"

The officers shouted loudly, swearing their determination to fight to the end.

Before, the officers of the 9th Theater had always been confused about whether to attack or defend, and they didn't know the meaning of the military committee, so their combat attitude was very negative.

Now that there is a clear statement from their superiors, the officers in the 9th war zone know that they will defend the city of Changsha to the death.

Xue Boling stood on the stage, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, sit down!"

Li Hong and other officers sat down one after another, and the combat meeting room became very quiet.

"Swear to the death to guard Changsha, we and Chief Xue will swear to the death to guard Changsha!!!"

The officers shouted loudly, swearing their determination to fight to the end.

Xue Boling stood on the stage, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, sit down!"

Li Hong and other officers sat down one after another, and the combat meeting room became very quiet.

Chapter 941

Immediately, the officers and generals in the war room discussed with each other, studying how to defend against the little devils.

The current situation in Changsha is that, except for the vanguard of the devils, which arrived on the north bank of the Xinqiang River, at the same time, most of the three Japanese troops encircled and killed them in the direction of Changsha.

Although the Chinese defenders and the Japanese army are only engaged in small-scale battles now, when most of the Japanese army arrives, the battle will intensify and develop into a large-scale battle.

The total strength of the three-way army of the Japanese army reached 9, while the number of troops that could be mobilized in the 20th theater was less than [-].

There are 20 troops in the squadron and [-] troops against the Japanese army. Even if it is a defensive battle, it will not be able to stop the Japanese attack.

Therefore, the situation in Changsha City is very serious now.

Although the Japanese army has advanced weapons and equipment, the enemy is strong and we are weak, but at this moment, the most serious thing is that the morale of the army and the people are scattered.

Before the battle started, the soldiers and civilians lost their confidence in resisting the Japanese. In this battle, the ** team couldn't beat the little devils.

Xue Boling held this meeting mainly to stabilize the morale of the army and the hearts of the people.

"Everyone, the 116th Division of the Japanese Army began a restrictive attack in northern Jiangxi. The Japanese army successively occupied positions such as Huibu, Shangfu, and Cunqian Street of our 1st Army. The criminal in the south of the city invaded and occupied Xiangfu Temple on the 116th, and then Gao An also fell..."

The battle situation was very unfavorable to the Chinese army. The barrier positions outside Changsha were lost one after another, directly threatening Changsha.

After the Japanese army captured Gao'an, the commander of the 11th Army, Ningji Okamura, ordered the 116th Division to cover the left side of the back, and the main force entered the vicinity of Xiushui and Sandu to cut off the 30th Army and the Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi border support. Marching back.

According to this, the Zuozhi detachment carried out defensive operations in the southwestern area of ​​Fengxin, and marched to Wuning with 1 brigade, while the main force gathered near Shangfu Town, preparing to advance westward.

**The main reason for losing so many urban positions in just one or two days is that the officers and soldiers fought passively and gave up their positions with little resistance.

The officers and soldiers have no fighting spirit because their superiors have never given a clear combat instruction, neither to retreat nor to defend to the death. Therefore, the squadron on the front line does not know how to fight this battle.

Just now Xue Boling has solemnly stated that he will stick to Changsha and never retreat. This undoubtedly gave the officers and soldiers of all ministries a reassurance.

Li Hong stared at the map for a while, and suggested to Xue Boling: "Mr. Xue, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army occupied our position is not stable, and the Japanese army's multi-line combat forces are too scattered. Lost ground!"

"Mr. Xue, Commander Li's suggestion is not wrong. It is time for us to counterattack the Japanese army!" The other officers said in unison.

Xue Boling picked up the baton and walked to the bottom of the map, and loudly instructed: "Order, the 1st Army reorganizes its forces and regains the Shangfu position. The 74th Army advances from the Shanggao, Yifeng, and Wanzai areas to Huibu, west of Gao'an, On the Sixi and Tangpu lines, we must take back the village front street!"

"There is also the 32nd Army. Immediately cross the Jinjiang River and occupy the Japanese defense area. We must take back Gao'an within three days..."

"Yes, Chief Xue, I promise to complete the task!!!"

The chief officers who received the combat order answered loudly.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and the people, Xue Boling also set up a battlefield law enforcement team to restrain and supervise all the military and police in Changsha City, as well as people from government departments.

Xue Boling was ordered in the face of danger. He now has multiple identities. He is not only the commander of the 9th war zone, but also the provincial chairman of Hunan Province. The military and political power is in his hands.

After half an hour, the captain of the law enforcement team came in and reported the situation to Xue Boling.

"Report to Chief Xue, Deputy Commander Yang has brought it, and he is downstairs!"

Xue Boling nodded, and then he said to the other officers with a gloomy face: "Everyone, let's go to meet the commander of Deputy Commander Yang!"

Soon, Li Hong and the others followed Xue Boling downstairs, and they walked downstairs to an open field.

The law enforcement team downstairs bound several people, and these people were not low in military rank. The lowest rank was a colonel, and the highest rank was a lieutenant general.

The leader was wearing a felt hat and a mandarin jacket. This person was Deputy Commander Yang as the law enforcement captain said, and the rest of them were all subordinates of Deputy Commander Yang.

Li Hong saw the scene in front of him, and then looked at the angry expression on Xue Boling's face, he knew that the next few officers would be in trouble. ,

Obviously, Xue Boling was acting out a scene, and was going to catch a typical example for the officers and generals next to him to see.

Xue Boling strode over and asked them in a cold tone: "Deputy Commander Yang, I entrusted you with the task of defending the Xiangnan County city. Originally, you were only allowed to guard for five days, but the Japanese army is still more than 30 miles away from the city of Xiangnan. What do you do?" The commander of the acting army commander and more than 2 people abandoned the city and fled without firing a single shot!"

"Mr. Xue, I learned that the Military Commission is going to abandon Changsha, so I ordered the evacuation in order to preserve the strength of the troops..."

Facing Xue Boling's questioning, Deputy Army Commander Yang defended himself guilty.

"You're still making excuses even now, you're simply a sinner of the nation, a scum in the army!"

Xue Boling reprimanded the other party a few times in a rage, and then continued with a murderous tone: "Deputy Commander Yang, I don't think any of you need to go to a military court for trial. I have been entrusted with the power of life and death. Sentenced for the crime of fleeing in battle."
