The Japanese lieutenant general frowned and looked ugly. If the independent division's air force was here, they would not be able to form an effective advantage. Let alone attack Wuhan, it would be good if they did not lose people here. Obviously, they have no attack.
advantage, then whether to continue to attack Wuhan will have to be re-judged.
"Let's discuss the current situation regarding the battle for Wuhan." The Japanese Lieutenant General spoke and looked at the others.
The others were silent for a moment. They did not expect that the independent division's air force could still fight. Apparently they received intelligence that most of Nanchang Airport had been destroyed.
"Your Excellency, Commander, from the current point of view, our situation is not good." A major general said, "The air force in the Nanchang part of the Independent Division has obviously not suffered much losses. As a result, our air force on the Wuhan battlefield will
The Warriors will be at a huge disadvantage."
"Your Excellency, Commander, I think we should stop the attack temporarily. Otherwise, the sacrifice of the warriors will basically be in vain."
"I second the motion."
Almost all the Japanese generals here have this opinion. After seeing the air force of the independent division, most of them are air supremacy believers. Indeed, they are the party attacking the city. They only rely on the army, but the air force has no advantage, resulting in losses.
It's too big. They can't afford such a big loss at the moment.
The Japanese lieutenant general sitting in the middle nodded helplessly, "Order, repair it temporarily."
"Hi!"
"At the same time, let's discuss countermeasures immediately and how to regain our advantage!"
"Hi!"
…
Zhu Ziming was still flying the fighter plane in the sky. He had already dived once more. However, this time he saw that the Japs were retreating. He smiled. The Japs were quite smart and knew that there was no way out at this time and they should retreat.
.Now that the Japanese have withdrawn, they can almost withdraw. There are still a lot of things waiting for them at the airport.
"Go back to Nanchang." Zhu Ziming said, and then took the lead to fly towards Nanchang.
The national army on the top of the city looked at the retreating fighter planes in the sky, and the Japanese under the city wall had all run back. They felt grateful in their hearts. After all, with the help of the independent division, they easily repelled the Japanese attack.
.
"Tuanzu, the Japanese have retreated."
"Yes." The regiment leader nodded, "Thanks to the Air Force of the Independent Division, otherwise, although we could hold Wuhan, we would not have suffered any losses."
"That's what Tuanzuo said, but the Japanese have retreated now. I don't know what they want to do."
"No matter what the devils do, we just have to guard it."
"Too."
…
After Zhou Weiguo received the news from Nanchang, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had been reminded. Otherwise, Nanchang Airport would have suffered heavy losses and the Japs' plan would have succeeded. However, the Japs had no choice now.
"Master, the Japanese are indeed still insidious."
"Yeah." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "However, since the Japanese have withdrawn their troops, they must be discussing countermeasures. Although we are not in Wuhan, we have done everything we should do. Besides, we have no way to divide our troops." Zhou Weiguo sighed, if we could,
He naturally wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese. Unfortunately, although the situation in Shandong has improved, the entire Shandong Independent Division is overloaded.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the map again and saw the situation in Wuhan. If the national army did not take the initiative to take action, they would have to wait for the Japanese to take action.
Just as Zhou Weiguo thought, Li Zongren was convening people to discuss how to retreat from the enemy. In this battle, he not only wanted to defend, but also to attack. He wanted to show the Japanese that they were not so easy to fight and that they also had sharp claws.
"Commander, I think the Japs are mainly concentrated in the northeast, so can we go around to the side of the Japs?" Someone stood up and said, "Although the Japs have about five divisions, they are scattered to the east of Wuhan.
With the north, that is to say, there are 2-3 divisions on each side. If we go around to the side of the Japanese, we can at least harass the Japanese and prevent the Japanese from attacking the city with peace of mind. In this way, the defense of the city will be easier."
Li Zongren nodded, while Bai Chongxi remained silent and just looked at the map. To be honest, he and Li Zongren had been thinking about taking the initiative to attack for a long time, but they couldn't think of a good plan. First, because they didn't know the strength of the Japanese troops at the beginning.
The second reason is that they did not include the Nanchang part at the beginning. After all, the Independent Division and Chiang Kai-shek had publicly broken up. Although they understood that the Independent Division must put the overall situation first, they were always a little embarrassed.
However, he later sent a telegram to the Nanchang Department, asking them to bring troops to support when necessary. Fang Shengli directly sent the Second Brigade there, and then said that the air force could support at any time. This made Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest,
When something like that happened in Shandong, although Chiang Kai-shek sent people there, not many people were sent there. As for the Communist Party, as far as they knew, the number of people sent there was much greater than that sent by Chiang Kai-shek.
"I think we can be bolder." Bai Chongxi said, "In a few hours, a brigade from Nanchang will arrive in Wuhan."
Bai Chongxi's words made everyone feel uncomfortable, but they could not deny that the independent division's combat effectiveness was indeed much higher than theirs. They also envied the independent division's equipment, but unfortunately, they did not have the money to buy it. In this era, foreign countries are willing to sell equipment.
Yes, it all costs a lot of money. Moreover, the Independent Division has built a navy and air force that even Chiang Kai-shek cannot afford, and they have to admire them.
"What does Commander Bai mean?"
Bai Chongxi smiled and said, "It is too wasteful to use the troops of the Independent Division to defend the city. Since we plan to take the initiative, we must use such sharp spears."
Everyone nodded, and they agreed very much with Bai Chongxi's words.
Li Zongren also nodded, "So, let's first ask the Nanchang department where their troops have arrived."
…
Wushang and his soldiers have arrived at the new area of Huangshiyang.
"Travel seat, telegram!"
Wushang received the telegram and said, "Reply, we are in Huangshiyang New Area."
"yes!"
Wu Shang then narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that someone wants us to arrive earlier. They can't wait. In fact, I can't wait either. I'll temporarily stop repairing and wait for orders!"
"Yes!" Then the army stopped and waited for orders.
As for the Fifth Theater Command, after receiving the situation of the Wushang Second Brigade, Bai Chongxi smiled and said, "Tell them to arrive in the Tuanfeng area before the afternoon of the 29th, join the friendly forces, and then launch an attack on the Japanese together."
"
Li Zongren also smiled and nodded. Indeed, there are troops from the Independent Division leading the vanguard. I am afraid that the Japs will not be able to block this spear, and other troops in the national army will also be infected by the sharpness of this spear and become
