"February 10th. The founding of Japan's National People's Republic of China anniversary. Various chariots decorated with flowers appeared in Wuhan, cheering and parading on the streets. Drunk ronin sang a tune and stormed in groups on the streets. The indigenous people of this land hid quietly at home and watched them indifferently.

On the western foot of Luojia Mountain, the former National Wuhan University campus, the former place where students and erudite scholars gathered, but now they are full of murderous auras, one step at a time and one whistle in five steps, and are under high alert. After Wuhan fell, Wuhan University moved to Sichuan, and with a big stroke of his pen, Nencun Ningji became the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army and the heart of the Japanese invading China in central China.

On this day when the whole country is happy, this heavily guarded military land is covered with a layer of warmth of celebration. Colorful colorful paper is hung on the branches on both sides of the avenue, and tall chariots are erected in the barracks. Each of the soldiers is given a bottle of sake and a piece of pork. Japanese expatriates from Wuhan go to the barracks to comfort the soldiers. Geisha dressed in colorful clothes are performed for the soldiers. However, these activities can only be carried out on the outside. The Japanese army with distinct strata, the senior officers in the inner siege are still celebrated differently from ordinary soldiers.

The sound of silk and bamboo came faintly. The soldiers passing by outside could only look at the inside with envy. The geisha group from Japan was performing for senior officers.

Anan Wei sat cross-legged on the head seat. At this moment, he was in a happy mood. In the Suizao Battle, which ended more than a month ago, he seized the negligence of the Chinese army, successfully attacked, and killed the powerful Chinese general Zhang Zizhong, and severely attacked the elite Chinese troops in the fifth war zone, avenged the imperial army in Zaoyang, Linyi, and earned himself a medal of the rising sun.

However, Zhang Zizhong's death led to the Chinese government adjusting the command system of the Fifth War Zone. The Chinese General was re-elected as commander of the Fifth War Zone. This move once made the 11th Army very nervous. The Sender Command also made a special call to remind them to pay attention to the movements of the Fifth War Zone.

The Chinese generals had become a nightmare for the Japanese army. In Nanjing, Linyi, Zaoyang, and last year in Lashio, they defeated all the Japanese generals he met. Among the Japanese generals in China, only Anan Weiji and Okamura Neji from North China did not suffer in his hands. The reason was actually very simple, they had no chance yet.

Of course, Anan Weiji was not arrogant enough to be stronger than the famous generals, such as Seishiro Itagaki, Shouzuo Nishio, and Toshiro Yan, who were known as famous generals, but he had reason to think that he had the opportunity to defeat the Chinese general and save the imperial army's face. The reason was that he could control the military deployment of the troops in the Fifth War Zone, and the Chinese general's every move was under his surveillance.

Several geisha danced to the beat in the middle of the living room, and the folding fans in their hands were full of charm. The hall was filled with joy and warmth. Anan Weiji also applauded gently with the beat. His surface ease covered his vague concerns. Although so far, the Chinese general had no amazing actions except the entire army, the Chinese government launched a large increase in troops to the Fifth War Zone. The Fifth Army, the first mechanized unit of China, had been transferred to the Fifth War Zone. Recently, information from the news showed that four divisions of the Young Army composed of Chinese students entered the Fifth War Zone.

In this way, the fifth war zone increased by 100,000 people. In addition, the Chinese government made an exception to directly allocate the three brigades of the Chinese Air Force to the fifth war zone, which was unified by the Chinese general, which broke the Chinese army's command system and could provide stronger support for combat and higher efficiency.

All signs show that the next major move of the Chinese army must be in the Fifth War Zone, and it must be another strike on the Fifth War Zone. Anan Weiji has made a decision in his heart. What troubles him now is the supplies. He consumed all the supplies in the last battle. He had to raise the materials needed for the fight again, and it would take at least three months to wait.

"What a pity." Anan Weiji felt very sorry. The Chinese general made a mistake. He did not replenish the 33rd Army that suffered serious losses in time. Not only that, he also took the opportunity to seize the 59th Army in the name of reorganizing the army, driving away Liu Ruming, causing the 33rd Army and the 2nd Army to be in a state of turmoil. This was a good opportunity for attack. He believed that if there was sufficient material supply, he would definitely defeat the Chinese Army in the fifth War Zone again and completely eliminate the nightmare among the Japanese generals. A military guard came in quietly and handed a telegram to Anan Weiji. Anan Weiji glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh softly. The telegram was sent by a spy in the fifth War Zone, and it was about the recent mobilization of troops in the fifth War Zone.

The Chinese general filled the loophole. The 60th Army deployed in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River was transferred to the Dahongshan area south of Sui County to replace the 77th Army defense zone. The 59th Army retreated to Zaoyang and reorganized. The southern line troops were commanded by Du Xingming, the commander of the 50th Army. The 49th Army went south and entered Zhongxiang, Yicheng, the 22nd Army and the 36th Army moved eastward, and the Fifth Army entered Fancheng, Xiangyang. There was a possibility of continuing to move south.

Anan Weiji stood up and left the hall. The officers also stood up and left with him, leaving behind a few consulate officials and expatriate leaders who had seen each other. They did not speak up and tried to keep them.

"This is the recent mobilization of the Chinese army in the fifth theater. What do you think?" Anan Weiji led the officers into the war room and pointed at the sand table. The staff on duty had marked the changes in the military strength of the fifth theater on the sand table.

"The Forty-Nine Army is coming up." Chief of Staff Yuki Kinoshita's tone was a little surprised. The Forty-Nine Army was regarded as the strongest army in China by the Japanese army. The appearance of this force means that China will launch an attack there: "General China wants to attack?"

The 11th Army has eight divisions under its jurisdiction, with a total force of more than 200,000. Among them, the 6th Division and the 40th Division are stationed in Yueyang and Xianning on the border of Hunan and Hubei. The 39th Division is stationed in Qianjiang Tianmen in northern Hubei, the 68th Division is stationed in Jiujiang, the 34th Division is stationed in Nanchang, the 34th Division is stationed in Xinyang and Xiaogan, the 13th Division is stationed in Jingshan, and the 58th Division is stationed in Wuhan. Among these troops, the 3rd Division, the 6th Division and the 13th Division are stationed in the fourth unit division, and the rest are stationed in the third unit division. The 58th and 68th Divisions were just expanded from the ** mixed 14th Brigade and the 18th Brigade last year.

In view of the tight combat forces in the south, the base camp originally planned to transfer the 6th Division to the Nanyang to form the Southern Army's combat sequence, but this move was strongly opposed by the Chinese Expeditionary Army and the 11th Army. At this time, the Chongqing government adjusted the command sequence of the fifth war zone, and the Chinese general took office as the fifth war zone. The Chinese government launched a large increase in troops to the fifth war zone. In view of this, the base camp agreed to keep the 6th Division.

There were more than 200,000 troops and eight divisions, which seemed to be quite a lot, but the 11th Army faced three Chinese war zones, the fifth, the ninth, and the third. Looking around it, there were millions of Chinese troops.

"Is his target the 13th Division or the 39th Division?" Kinishi Yuki was asking and talking to himself.

"Not like it." Deputy Chief of Staff Sakai Masatsugaki thought, "The Chinese General provoked a dispute between the 59th Army and the 69th Army. It has just been a month since then, and there is no internal stability. Is it too urgent to launch an attack now

"You can't draw conclusions easily." Anan Weiji said slowly, his hands were inserted into his pockets, and the medals on his chest were shining: "The Chinese general has always liked to be surprised, Nanjing and Zaoyang. It seems that he has no choice in these two battles, but what about the end? You guys, the Chinese general is a powerful general of the Chinese army and a representative of the young and middle-aged generals of the Chuiqing Central Army. He must be treated with caution in every move of his actions.

After saying that, Anan Weiji looked up at the intelligence chief Morimura Fai: "Myonmura, are there any actions in the Ninth War Zone?"

"The Ninth War Zone accepted four young troops of the division. In addition, the US military advisory group entered the Ninth War Zone and began to reorganize the Chinese army in the Ninth War Zone. Currently, the Ninth War Zone is similar to the Fifth War Zone, and they are all training troops. In addition, they have received a batch of American equipment." Morimura's face said that he was very confident and he had reason to do so. Before the Suzao Battle, the intelligence class had a relatively low status in the 11th Army Command, but after the Suzao Battle, the status of the intelligence class increased significantly.

However, Morimura's answer did not satisfy Anan. He frowned slightly and asked, "Have there any changes in the Chinese army in northern Hunan?

"No, the Chinese army south of Xinyunhe is still the 20th and 30th Army of the Sichuan Army. There is no change. Morimura's reply is relatively simple, but Anan nodded with satisfaction. The 11th Army is not afraid of any single attack in any war zone, but if the two war zones attack together, that would be a big trouble.

"If this is the case, the actions of the Chinese General should be defensive." Kinoshita Yuki also thought clearly at this time that the Forty-Ninth Army adopted a deep configuration, not all of them were pressed to the front line. The mobilization of the Sixty Army can also be explained as concerns about the Thirty-Three Army.

"At present, it is not clear that General China wants to launch a quick attack, but he told the commander of Uchiyama Division and the commander of Sumida Division to pay close attention to the current changes in the enemy situation." After Anan Weiji ordered, he looked at the officers around him: "But, lords, have you noticed that General China's troops have arranged a lineup to give us a chance to attack the 49th Army of the Chinese strong army." At this point, he picked up the command pole and pointed the sand table: "The 108th Division of the 102nd Army of the Forty-Nine Army has left in Zhongxiang area.

A division was once severely damaged by the Imperial Army in Fujin Mountain. The division commander Wang Mingzhang was shot dead. On the left wing of the 108th Division is the 32nd Division of the 86th Army at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Command, the right wing is the 60th Army, and on the right wing is the 4th Division of the 77th Army. "The commander of the Yang Division is He Ji, deputy commander of the 77th Army, said that the person was transferred from the 77th Army. According to the information, this division has a lot of resentment, and the 86th Army is a unit of Chen Cheng's system. Everyone, imagine what reaction will these two troops make if the 49th Army and the 60th Army are punished by the Imperial Army?"
