"Your Majesty the Head of State, another war has broken out between China and Japan, and it is centered around Wuhan, China."
"Oh? How's the battle going?"
"The winner has not been determined yet, but Japan is surrounded on three sides and its logistics lines are under air raids. In addition, it has been raining heavily in Wuhan, China for days. I am afraid the Japanese are not in a good situation."
The little man sitting on the chair frowned, "Really, they are a bunch of idiots. They have been warned to selectively defend and shorten the front. Will the Chinese watch such a long front in vain?"
"Moreover, according to the relevant information from our intelligence personnel, Japan has invested quite a lot of troops this time."
"How many?"
"We have about 15-20 divisions, but we still don't have the advantage."
The little man sighed, "Although China cannot expand its territory now, it seems that there is no big problem in defending its own place. Is this country that has been bullied by other countries for so long finally waking up?"
"On October 12, the Chinese navy, that is, the navy of the independent division Zhou Weiguo, attacked the Japanese navy and sank a total of 8 Japanese warships of various types. Moreover, the Chinese navy made full use of the advantages of submarines to shoot down the Japanese
There are countless cargo ships coming and going.”
"Interesting." The little man smiled, "It's just that it makes our allies look a bit stupid. Hey, we have made two preparations anyway."
"Yes."
"But the British may also be very angry recently. After all, their Royal Oak battleship was sunk by us. Be prepared, the war is approaching."
"yes!"

Chongqing
"Chairman, there have been heavy rains along the Yangtze River for days, and many places are now affected. After a year, all the harvest has been wasted." Dai Li said to Lao Jiang, "There is no decent exchange of fire in the Wuhan area now, whether it is us or the Communist army
, are all actively providing disaster relief.”
"Well, that's right, but we must also actively deal with the Japanese. In case the Japanese take advantage of this incident to do something, we must also be prepared."
"yes!"
…
18th, Wuhan.
Okamura Neiji looked at the telegram in his hand, and for a moment, he was a little lost. He murmured, "It's over, this time, everything is over." And the telegram in his hand was exactly the 10 that he originally planned to use as a surprise attack.
After the supplies disappeared, the morale of the army fluctuated, a mutiny occurred, and a collapse occurred. More than ten officers above the rank of aide-de-camp were killed, and a lieutenant general, who was also a division commander, was killed. Soldiers lost their lives.
About half of them were eaten, and the rest were either lack of energy or sick. With heavy rain for days, there were already many sick soldiers. As a result, there was a mutiny yesterday, and more soldiers were injured and died. Such a thing made the soldiers feel desperate. Today,
The officers slowly stabilized the soldiers' emotions, but all the soldiers were still hungry. Some soldiers also went to nearby people's homes to search for food. However, the people also suffered a disaster, and most of them fled.
There is very little food. Even if you want to go hunting in the mountains, you have to consider whether a landslide will occur.
As for Wuhan, due to the destruction of the logistics line, no supplies have been delivered for many days. Although soldiers were sent to search for a batch of food at the homes of ordinary people in the city, Okamura Neiji knew that this was only an emergency measure. Once
If people start to starve to death in the city, a plague may occur. After all, the city is now flooded.
"This carefully prepared Wuhan battle turned out to be such an anticlimax." Okamura Neiji said to himself in a low voice, "Are the Chinese people really ready to take back all the lost land? No, no! Those lands
It's all the land of our Japanese Empire, not the Chinese people! But, how many times has this happened?" Yes, this is the first time he has encountered a wall on the Chinese battlefield? Okamura Neiji can't remember clearly.
, since the Battle of Wuhan last year, the place they occupied has stayed at the front line of Wuhan and has not moved forward. In the Battle of Wuhan, a prince and a lieutenant general died. Later, in the Battle of Nanchang and the Battle of Suizao, there were two
They all suffered heavy losses and failed to achieve full results. In addition to the losses in the previous battle for Nanchang, and the current losses, he didn't even know how many soldiers were lost in his hands.
As a high-ranking member of the Japanese army, Okamura Neiji knew very well that if this continued, the Japanese Empire would be doomed, but greed kept driving them to do so. Although he had not seen the domestic situation with his own eyes, he had
I heard that the anti-war voices are getting louder and louder, and some financial groups are even adding fuel to the flames. When the war went well, they also strongly supported it. After all, as long as the war goes well, they can continue to dump products into China and plunder wealth. But
The war was not going well, and their property in China was not well protected.
It is said that businessmen seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but in fact, many times doing business is also a big gamble.
"Huh~" Neji Okamura breathed out and lay down on the chair feebly. At this time, there is actually no need to defend Wuhan. Originally, Wuhan did not have any special resources. Now, after the flood, it is very likely that
Something more terrible will happen.
Then, Okamura Neiji picked up the pen and began to write something on the paper, regarding the current situation in Wuhan, future arrangements and suggestions.

Near Hong'an County
"Fellow, your rice has been soaked in water, do you still want to take it back?" asked a New Fourth Army member wearing a gray military uniform.
"Harvest it, take it back, wait for the rain to stop, dry it in the sun and dry it. After all, it will be enough for food." A farmer was harvesting his crops in the rain with a sad face.
"Fellow, I'll help you." After hearing this, the New Fourth Army soldier went to the fields and helped to harvest. The farmer was right. If you don't harvest, there will be nothing. Although it was flooded, after drying,
It can still be used as food rations.
"Hey, Commander Li, you can't do it! You, you." Nong Ming was too anxious to say the complete sentence. The New Fourth Army in front of him was a regiment commander, and a regiment commander actually helped him work in the fields.
This made him very embarrassed. Since ancient times, it has been good for officials not to oppress the people.
"We, the troops of the Communist Party, are the people's soldiers. We will go wherever the people need us. You're welcome, fellow villager. We will report the situation in your village and we should allocate part of the food."
"What? Distribute food?"
"Fellow, you heard me right, the food should be on the way to be collected now!"
"This, this is so embarrassing!" The farmer was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands. Although he was able to harvest his batch of rice, even after repairs were made, the output was greatly reduced. Not to mention paying taxes, whether he could survive it
Next spring will be a problem.
"Okay, I will report this matter, but it may take a few days."
"Here, Commander Li, thank you."
"I, Lao Li, also come from a bitter background, so you're welcome!"
