"Okay, please rest assured Commander-in-Chief Yu. I will definitely arrive before 1 pm!"

After Ouyang finished speaking to the phone, he put down the phone and felt a hint of joy on his face.

Seeing this, Ma Jiujin immediately asked: "Brig Commander, Commander-in-Chief Yu agrees!"

"Um!"

Ouyang nodded and said, "Yes, Commander-in-Chief Yu agreed, but it is far from enough to agree with such a big bet."

"It must also be supported by all the generals in the 12th Army, as well as the recognition of the two giants, Wu Tiecheng, Chairman of Guangdong Province and Zeng Yangfu, the commander of Guangzhou City. Otherwise, even if this plan is forcibly implemented, it will be just a piece of paper."

Upon hearing this, Ma Jiujin felt thoughtful.

"Prepare the car now!" Ouyang said firmly.

"Yes, brigade commander!" Ma Jiujin responded immediately.

On October 19, 1938, at 12 noon, Ouyang rushed to the headquarters of the 12th Army, and led by a captain of the National Army to a huge conference room that could accommodate hundreds of people.

Captain ** said respectfully: "Please ask the Brigade Commander of Europe to sit first, and the generals attending our army will arrive soon."

At this moment, there was only Ouyang in the huge conference room.

The reason why I came here early was to hope to organize my words. The next key was to convince these 12th Army bosses.

Time passed by bit by bit, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. More than a dozen officers sat down in the conference room one after another. The lowest rank was the major general, and there were also several lieutenant generals. One of them attracted Ouyang's special attention.

Li Zhenqiu, commander of the 65th Army of the 12th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

When Ouyang saw Li Zhenqiu, he immediately remembered some records about Li Zhenqiu in his later generations. There was a comment that Ouyang thought was very pertinent.

"The Grand Historian's Book of Records" said that Li Guangzhi was unruly and shared the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, and people were happy to die, so the enemy could not violate him, and he became a famous general in the Han Dynasty."

"General Li Zhenqiu from Guangdong also has the style of Li Guangzong in his military management. He is constantly interrupted by the rules, and his subordinates fight on their own, so he is known as good at fighting, but he also sees some rare things."

This evaluation about General Li Zhenqiu comes from Guo Moruo.

His words greatly praised Li Zhenqiu's military management and combat style!

~~~~~~

After a while, the meeting at 1 pm was only less than a few minutes away.

At this moment, more than twenty people had sat in the entire conference room, all of whom were senior generals of the 12th Army.

As more people were coming, they started talking to each other.

"You said that the chief officer summoned us this time, what exactly is going on?"

"What can happen? It must be the issue of the war ahead!"

"When talking about the war ahead, I'm not optimistic!"

"Although the Japanese army was severely damaged by the 62nd Army and the Eighth Route Army in Daya Bay, with heavy casualties, with several fierce battles over the past few days, our army lost more than a dozen county towns and retreated step by step. In contrast, the Japanese army's offensive situation has been fully launched."

"Yes, I guess Huizhou and Heyuan will be out of stock in less than two days!"

"Once Huizhou falls, Dongguan will be the first to be hit and become the focus of the Japanese attack."

"No, the key point is the Heyuan. Once the Heyuan falls, the Japanese army can march straight into the river, reaching Guangzhou Chengguan."

"No matter what, my Guangzhou city is hard to protect!"

"We have the ambition to serve the country, but it's a pity that we have no power to turn the world back!"

"In my opinion, it is better to abandon Guangzhou so that we can save our troops and retreat to northern Guangdong to wait for the time being, and then take a counterattack strategy!"

Ouyang listened quietly to the crowd's words, and wrote their words in his mind without saying a word.

"Sure enough, most people are pessimistic about this battle to defend Guangzhou, and no one believes that they can repel the attacking Japanese troops."

Ouyang thought to himself.

Just then, a burst of shouts suddenly came from outside the conference room.

"The seat is here!"

Suddenly, everyone in the conference room, including Ouyang, stood up and waited for the arrival of Commander-in-Chief Yu Hanmou.

After a few breaths, Yu Hanmou walked into the conference room, and behind him were the two of them.

Chairman of Guangdong Province, Wu Tiecheng;

Mayor of Guangzhou, Zeng Yangfu;

With the commander-in-chief Yu Hanmou, all three giants in Guangdong arrived.

The specifications of this meeting are enough to be called the highest-level military conference in Guangdong.

Yu Hanmou walked to the top and sat down, then pressed his hands down, letting everyone sit down.

"The meeting officially begins!"

For a moment, the entire conference room was filled with a huge repression, and everyone speculated that this meeting would determine the final direction of the Guangzhou defense battle!

The war ahead cannot be said to be a mess, but the 12th Army has been defeated and it is only a matter of time for how long Guangzhou can last.

The choice we are facing now is to fight to the death, or to abandon Guangzhou and preserve our troops.

Yu Hanmou said in a deep voice: "There is only one purpose to summon everyone today, that is, to discuss how to counterattack the Japanese army and drive the Japanese out of our Guangdong!"

"Wow!"

Suddenly, everyone in the entire conference room let out a huge uproar, and some even exclaimed.

Provincial Chairman Wu Tiecheng said in shock: "Master, are you sure you were not joking with everyone just now?"

Zeng Yangfu immediately said, "Master, this joke is absolutely impossible! Now the Japanese army is so powerful that our army has been defeated. With our only tens of thousands of people, how can we defeat the tiger and wolf army of nearly 100,000 Japanese troops? The most urgent task should be to order the entire army to retreat and defend Guangzhou with all our might!"

Counterattack the Japanese army?

Drive the Japanese army out of Guangdong?

To everyone's eyes, this is simply a fantasy!

A major general of a national army stood up and said bluntly: "The Chief Secretary, the 62nd Army and the 63rd Army are now suffering from loss of troops. It is very difficult to defend Huizhou and Heyuan in danger. Guangzhou City is in danger. What can we use to counterattack the Japanese army?"

This sentence was immediately recognized by many officers present.

"General, our troops are not as strong as the Japanese army. How can we be the enemy of the Japanese army? You should think twice!"

At present, military officers from each country advised each other.

It is simply a delusion to defeat the extremely powerful Japanese army with few attacks!

"Who said we are trying to attack the weak with less?"

Commander-in-chief Yu Hanmou said in a deep voice: "As early as two days ago, the 64th Army, 66th Army, 1st Independent Brigade, 2nd Independent Brigade and other units of our army, totaling more than 60,000 people, have all set off for Guangzhou to help. They will all arrive in Guangzhou City at around 5:00, 6:00 and 8:00 tonight."

"In this way, the total strength of our Guangdong defenders will once again exceed 130,000, which is 50,000 more than the 80,000 people in the 21st Army of the Japanese Army."

"Our army's troops will surpass the Japanese army at this point, so why does it have no counterattack power?"

For a moment, everyone in the conference room was shocked!

Tens of thousands of people participated in the Wuhan Battle and actually returned to Guangzhou. This is something that no one knows.

Even the other two giants, Wu Tiecheng and Zeng Yangfu, were not aware of it.

At that moment, an officer shouted excitedly: "Okay, in this way, we are not without the power to fight. Even if we can't defeat the Japanese army, it is still more than enough to hold on to Guangzhou for another half a month."

"That's it, that's it!"

Suddenly, everyone in the entire conference room was ready to fight and wanted to do something big.

However, Ouyang began to capture a trace of disconfidence very clearly from their words and expressions.

"They probably want to focus on defense, but how can they defeat the 80,000 Japanese troops by defending alone? Not to mention a 130,000 national army, even if they double their troops on this basis, it is not easy to defend Guangzhou City!"

Ouyang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It seems that if you want to change the inherent consciousness of a group of officers, you have to try your best to lobby.

"Silent!"

Yu Hanmou said again: "In addition to the various units of our army who were expeditioning to Wuhan and redirecting to Guangzhou, we also have a reinforcement!"

"oh?"

Immediately, everyone present became curious.

And reinforcements?

Who is it?

How many people are there?

"hehe!"

Ouyang smiled faintly. He really knew where the reinforcement soldier came from.

Yu Hanmou glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice: "General Cai E of the Hainan Army, general, will lead more than 20,000 troops, and will arrive in Guangzhou at 4 pm this afternoon to participate in the battle against Japan!"
