The chairman's face burst into laughter: "At yesterday's military meeting, I insisted on giving them one more cannon.

Now it seems that these cannons are playing a decisive role.

The first squadron of the Japanese Air Force was sent to destroy, and the field artillery regiment was completely wiped out.

Without the support of aviation and artillery, the Japs in the Hazaobin area will not be able to hold on for much longer.

Immediately send these two battle reports to the whole country, especially to the troops fighting against the 17th Japanese Infantry Brigade on the Hazaohama battlefield.

It must be communicated to every soldier fighting.

This battle report can greatly encourage soldiers on the front line.

Especially the soldiers at all levels who are encircling and suppressing the 17th Japanese Brigade. Now they can let go and fight.

No more worrying about Japanese planes and artillery.

In addition, he immediately telegraphed to Luo Zhuoying and asked him to immediately send people to send the captain and squad leader of the Japanese Field Artillery Third Regiment to Nanjing.

I want to hold a press conference in Nanjing!"

"Yes!" Qian Dajun agreed.

The chairman of the committee is obviously very interested now: "Ci Xiu! Let's go to the combat command room and have a look!"

"yes!"

Chairman Chiang walked in front and walked into the combat command room with a smile on his face.

After the Japanese landed at Shizilin at Sichuan Shakou and opened up a second front.

It has been more than half a month since he smiled, and he was so happy to see the commissioner.

Of course the senior staff officers in the combat command room knew the reason.

Everyone has a smile on their face.

Today, an aviation group of the Japanese Navy was wiped out again, which means that as long as the conditions are right, a battle like destroying a Japanese Navy warship can be replicated.

This is the happiest thing for all staff officers.

If we can also annihilate the second and third Japanese Air Force teams gathered in Nanpu, the next battle will be easier to fight.

Such thoughts arise in everyone's mind, and everyone's face is filled with vitality.

Seeing the chairman coming in, everyone stood up: "Hello, chairman!"

"Okay! Okay! Everyone, please take a seat!" The chairman was in a very good mood.

He took the lead and sat down, and then asked: "Has everyone seen the battle report at Wusongkou?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then let's talk about how the war will develop next!"

The staff officers in the combat command room were discussing this issue just now.

Bai Chongxi smiled and said: "Committee! We were discussing this issue just now.

The entire staff believed that the success of the encirclement and suppression of the 11th Japanese Infantry Brigade was unstoppable.

The effective strength of the Third Japanese Infantry Division was completely exhausted, which was something the Japanese could no longer avoid.

Next, we have two views on the choice of combat direction:

One view is to concentrate troops to defeat the Japanese in the direction of Changzhou and Wuxi;

One is to concentrate our forces to defeat the Japanese in the urban area."

The chairman thought for a moment and made a decision immediately:

"First destroy the 11th Japanese Infantry Division in the direction of Wuxi and Changzhou and the 2nd and 3rd Japanese Naval Aviation Group in Nanpu."

Although he didn't say the reason, everyone present knew it: in the past few days, he had been fighting with the Japanese entrenched in the city for half a month.

Although they had the upper hand, they did not have an absolute advantage and could not annihilate them at all.

Instead of fighting the old war in the urban area again, it is better to annihilate the Japanese in the periphery first.

"Yes! We will then formulate a battle plan against the 11th Infantry Division." Bai Chongxi quickly replied.

"The Ninety-Eighth Division must be used!" the Chairman said meaningfully.

Everyone understood: This was to send the second battalion of the 583rd Regiment.

The situation suddenly reversed in the past few days, and the national army originally on the Songhu battlefield was already in trouble.

We were caught off guard when the Japanese landed in the Shizilin and Chuanshakou areas.

The Staff Office of the Nanjing Military Commission was preparing to retreat every day, if the Chairman had not insisted on waiting until the League of Nations meeting in Brussels.

Thinking of asking the League of Nations to impose sanctions on Japan or directly intervene in the war, the withdrawal of troops is already underway.

This is not the last time that senior staff officers in the General Staff Department and national army bosses have given Chairman Chiang advice:

Withdraw the troops from downtown Shanghai and retreat to the Wufu line to defend.

There are permanent fortifications built by the National Army on the Wufu Line, which can effectively resist the Japanese attack and reduce the casualties of the National Army soldiers.

Chairman Chiang has been unwilling to give up, insisting on hoping that one day a miracle will happen.

Of course, the miracle he expected was always thinking that allies would lend a helping hand at some point.

Or the international situation suddenly changes, and Britain and the United States block material exports to the Japanese.

As for the direct dispatch of troops by Britain and the United States, Chairman Chiang was already in despair.

Now he only hopes that Britain and the United States can stop exporting military materials such as steel, oil, weapons, and ammunition to Japan.

It is a pity that none of the Chairman's requests have been met.

Now I finally rely on my own strength to fight a battle of annihilation. If the purpose of this battle is achieved.

The complete annihilation of a Japanese infantry division will surely greatly inspire the enthusiasm of the people across the country to resist the war.

At the same time, it will also greatly combat those fanatical war elements in Japan.

In recent decades, the Japanese have been invincible in Asia. The entire country, from the farmers at the bottom to the Emperor at the top, has a paranoid love for force.

They have formed a fixed idea: There is no money in the treasury! Let’s go to war!

Domestic development is weak! Let’s go to war!

There is an economic crisis! There is still a war!

Fight! Everything depends on fighting and plundering to solve the crisis.

But over the past few decades, they have used this method to achieve domestic economic and technological leaps again and again.

At the same time, this increase in strength also strengthened their military strength.

The whole of Japan, from top to bottom, has an obsession with their military empire: they believe that there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved by war.

If so, then just fight again!

Now they are implementing this kind of policy: during the "Lugouqiao Incident", they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to give North China autonomy.

Use them to support traitors to form an autonomous government and achieve the goal of dividing and cannibalizing the entire China.

The result was very disappointing: this time the Chinese government has stopped the civil war nationwide.

We will no longer accept the conditions proposed by them for losing power and humiliating the country, and strongly demand a return to the status quo before the incident.

The Japanese then began to escalate the situation and attack Beiping and Tianjin.

What they can't get through negotiation, they use force to grab.

However, this time they underestimated the determination of the Chinese government: this time the entire Chinese people united to resist Japan.

The Japanese government is thinking that after occupying North China, it can withdraw its troops and rest for a period of time until it has digested these areas.
Chapter completed!
