Xue Yue ordered the four armies to enter the designated positions to attack. Wu Yizhi agreed with both hands, because such a large-scale troop mobilization could not deceive the Japanese army for too long. Once the Japanese army was aware of it, the attack would lose its surprise, and the battle effect would inevitably be great.
discount, so it is necessary to launch an attack now.
However, Wu Yizhi did not believe that Xu Rui really assassinated Okamura Neji.
Xue Yue, however, had great confidence in Xu Rui. After issuing the order, he asked Wu Yizhi with a smile: "What, Chief of Staff, you don't believe it?"
"I don't believe it." Wu Yizhi shook his head like a rattle, "Xu Rui does have some abilities, and Langya is really good at fighting, but it is absolutely impossible for Langya to go deep into Jiujiang and kill Okamura Neji. Okamura Neji
But if the commander of the kid’s group army was really so easy to kill, we Fuxing Society’s killers would have killed him countless times.”
Xue Yue said: "The killers of the Fuxing Society have not received special special training, but Xu Rui's Wolf Fang members have received special training from the German Brandenburg Special Forces. The two are not comparable."
Wu Yizhi said: "In short, the humble position is that I don't believe that Langya can really kill Okamura Neji."
Xue Yue said: "It seems that you and I can't convince anyone. How about we make a bet?"
"Let's bet." Wu Yizhi said simply, "If you lose the seat, your jeep will be mine."
"Okay, if I lose, the jeep will be yours." Xue Yue laughed, then changed the subject and continued, "But, Chief of Staff, what if you lose?"
Wu Yizhi said: "I will not lose."
Xue Yue said: "What if we lose?"
Wu Yizhi said: "I'm going to lose, so I can sit down and do whatever you want."
Xue Yue stared at the Zhongzheng sword hanging on Wu Mianzhi's waist and said happily: "Chief of Staff, if you lose, the sword will belong to me."
"This is not possible!" Wu Yizhi immediately covered the Zhongzheng Sword with his hand and shook his head like a rattle, "Except for this Zhongzheng Sword, you can have anything on me."
Xue Yue snorted and said, "Stingy."
The Zhongzheng Sword was used by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to reward meritorious generals of the National Army. So far, only a small number of senior generals have received the Zhongzheng Sword. As the most capable senior general in the National Army, Xue Yue's ability to command on the battlefield goes without saying.
, but he has never obtained a Zhongzheng Sword.
With a snort, Xue Yue turned and walked away.
Li Jue, Ou Zhen, Ye Zhao, Li Hanhun and other four armies have already deployed. Xue Yue will have nothing to do for the time being, so he has to go back to catch up on sleep and build up enough physical strength and energy to face the next challenge.
, after all, this is just the beginning, there will definitely be a series of big battles and bad battles waiting for him.

Almost at the same time, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Wuhan, also listened to this speech on the Dameishan Radio Station.
Xu Rui's speech had been recorded long ago. After receiving the telegram from Xiao Taohong, it was immediately played on a loop through the Dameishan Radio channel.
Therefore, Chairman Chiang could easily hear the full version of the speech.
After listening to Xu Rui's radio speech, Chairman Chiang could not help but turn to He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and other senior government officials and generals who were guests in his study and said: "Listen, listen, this does not sound like the speech of a senior military officer.
His speech was clearly an insult from a street scoundrel, no, none of the street scoundrels were as mean as him."
He Yingqin and Chen Cheng clearly noticed that there was a smile on Chairman Jiang's lips when he said this.
Although Xu Rui's growth has already made Chairman Jiang feel threatened, that is still far away after all. It is still the honeymoon period of the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so Chairman Chiang is very happy to see Xu Rui and Little Japan fighting to the death, so
Of course, the deeper the hatred between Xu Rui and Shunroku Hata, the better.
It would be best if Shunroku Hata is angered and vents all his anger on the New Fourth Army, and then mobilizes all the troops to mop up the New Fourth Army, so that the troops in the National Army's third, fifth, and ninth theaters can win the most.
Precious rest and recuperation time, what the National Army needs most right now is time.
After guessing Chairman Chiang's mood, He Yingqin immediately agreed: "Xu Rui's radio speech is indeed mean. Shunroku Hata will be furious after hearing it. You can just wait and see, wait until the battle in Wuhan comes to an end."
After that, Japan’s main focus will definitely turn to its troops.”
"This is the best thing to do." Chairman Jiang smiled and said, "Jingzhi, do you think Xu Rui made such a radio speech just to disgust Shunroku Hata, or did he really kill Okamura Ning?"
Second-rate?"
He Yingqin was very attentive to people's hearts. He guessed Chiang's judgment from Chairman Chiang's tone and said: "Six days ago, Xu Rui vowed in a radio speech that he would go to Nanjing to assassinate Shunroku Hata. At that time, Jian Sheng said that Xu Rui meant what he said.
Jian, since he said so, he will definitely go to Nanjing to assassinate Shunroku Hata, but what will be the result?"
He Yingqin spread his hands and looked around at the crowd and said, "But in the end, Xu Rui said he was just talking nonsense."
Although He Yingqin didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that Xu Rui was probably lying this time.
Bai Chongxi said: "The question is, what is Xu Rui's purpose in doing this? Is it just to tease Shunroku Hata?"
Chairman Chiang said: "So, Kensheng, do you believe that what Xu Rui said is true, and that he really killed Okamura Neji?"
"Mostly yes." Bai Chongxi said, "Xu Rui publicly threatened to go to Nanjing to kill Shunroku Hata in a radio speech before. We didn't know what he meant, but now we look back and think about it, Xu Rui's move was a smokescreen to let the Japanese army
The attention of the secret service is focused on Shunroku Hata, and the vigilance force around Neji Okamura will be relatively weakened. In other words, Xu Rui's previous broadcast was to lure the tiger away from the mountain. As for the current broadcast, I am afraid that he has to look forward to Shu.
Just kill two birds with one stone."
"You can kill two birds with one stone by looking at Shu?" Chairman Jiang frowned and asked, "How do you understand Jiansheng's words?"
Bai Chongxi said: "I heard from my humble position that Shunroku Hata was seriously injured during the Russo-Japanese War. Although he recovered from the injury, it left sequelae. A lot of information collected by the Fuxing Society also confirmed from the side that Shunroku Hata was indeed suffering from serious illness.
Lung disease, so I boldly assumed that Xu Rui wanted to use this to piss off Shunroku Hata to death?"
"Are you so angry at Shunroku Hata?" Chairman Chiang was dumbfounded and could hardly believe his ears.
Bai Chongxi's judgment of Xu Rui was completely beyond Chairman Jiang's expectations. Bai Chongxi not only believed that Xu Rui had killed Okacun, but also believed that Xu Rui's broadcast was not just a simple announcement of facts, but a deeper conspiracy.
This plan is to make Hata Shunroku angry to death through verbal insults and the fact of assassinating Okamura.
Even if it was true that Okamura Neji was assassinated, how could Shunroku Hata be so easily angered to death?
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a story about Zhuge Liang being so angry that Zhou Gongjin was killed, but that was just a story.
After a while, Chairman Chiang burst out laughing and said, "Jiansheng, when did you become so humorous?"
He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Kong Xiangxi and other senior government officials and generals also started laughing. It was obvious that no one believed in Bai Chongxi's judgment, did not believe that Okamura Neiji had been killed, and did not believe that the commander of the Condemnation Army in Central China was sent.
Shunroku Kanhata was so angry at Xu Rui that he was so popular that only stories like this can be found in storybooks.
Bai Chongxi was too lazy to argue, but sneered in his heart: a bunch of idiots.
(Dividing line)
Both Xue Yue and Chairman Chiang received Xu Rui's speech, and as a party concerned, Shunroku Hata was certainly no exception.
If it is just a broadcast, no matter how harsh the words are, even if it harms eighteen generations of ancestors, Hata Shunroku can be at ease. However, Xu Rui mentioned Okamura Neji in his radio speech, which cannot but arouse Hata Shunroku's anger.
Pay attention, because Okamura Neiji is not only the commander of the 11th Army, but also the de facto commander of the Wuhan Battle!
Shunroku Hata does not recognize Okamura Neji's qualifications, but he quite recognizes Okamura Neji's ability.
If Okamura Neji is good at this time, it will definitely have a serious impact on the subsequent general offensive. It is not impossible that the September offensive will even be aborted, because apart from Okamura Neji, Hata Shunroku can't think of anyone else.
Who can take on the responsibility of front-line command? He himself is in poor physical condition, and the qualifications of more than a dozen division commanders are seriously insufficient. Dong Jiu's qualifications are sufficient, but his ability is really unflattering.
Shunroku Hata realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately said to Kawabe Shozo: "Kawabe-san, call Jiujiang immediately and ask what is going on? Has Okamura-san been assassinated?"
"Hai." Hebian Zheng tripled his head and immediately grabbed the phone on the table.
Hebian Zhengzo spoke to the microphone and said urgently: "Get me the Eleventh Army Headquarters."
After a while, the call was connected, and Shozo Kawabe said urgently: "Mashi Mashi, this is Kawabe, is this Yoshimoto-san?"
A voice came immediately from the other end of the phone: "Reporting to Your Majesty the General, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff has led the headquarters' security troops to meet Commander Okamura. I am Chief of Staff Miyamoto."
Kawabe Shozo looked serious, it seemed that Okamura Neji had indeed been assassinated.
At that moment, Kawabe Shozo asked again: "Is Commander Okamura really assassinated?"
"Hai." Miyamoto on the other end of the phone paused and responded, "For the time being, your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, only suspects that the Commander-in-Chief has been assassinated, and has already created an explosion as a warning."
"It's just a suspicion, not a fact?" Kawabe Shozo suddenly became energetic.
"Hai." Miyamoto responded immediately, "I have not received any precise information about the assassination."
"Yo Xi." Shozo Kawabe immediately covered the phone and turned to Shunroku Hata, "Your Excellency, General, Miyamoto-san from the Eleventh Army Headquarters reported that there is no definite information on whether Commander Okamura was assassinated, but Yoshimoto-san
We have already led the security forces from the headquarters to respond, and we have also issued a warning by creating an explosion."
