In Nanjing, the Japanese Central China Front Command.

Toshiro, Okamura Yasuji and Kawabian Masazo also did not sleep all night.

At this critical moment that concerns the War in Wuhan and even the entire Sino-Japanese War, no one can sleep!

There was a radio on Junliu's big table. The program of Jianghan's Voice was always playing on the radio. The voice of the female host of Jianghan's Voice never stopped!

This also indirectly shows that Hankou is still under the control of the Central Team!

Thinking of this, Toshiro, Okamura, and Kawabian Masato were in a heavy mood!

A ray of dawn shone in through the window. Zheng San from Hebang got up and walked to the window and pushed open the window. He said with a slight slight voice: "God General, it's dawn!"

Junliu turned his head and looked out the window and found that it was indeed bright.

Jun Liu sighed softly. How much did he hope that time could go slower at this moment?

Okamura Yasuji also said quietly: "Today, it is the fifth day of the Second Army launching a general attack on Wuhan! It is also the last day of the five-day period!"

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji said again: "However, the three towns in Wuhan are still firmly controlled by the Chinese army!"

Jun Liu was silent when he heard this. To be honest, he didn't expect such a result before the war started. He originally thought that this battle would be very relaxed!

After all, the main forces of the China Fifth War Zone have been defeated by the Second Army. How could the 100,000 temporary mobs in Wuhan City with the ability to withstand the attack of the Second Army?

Until yesterday, when Okamura Yasuji proposed to ask the Second Army to withdraw quickly, Shunji didn't agree with it and was still full of confidence in the Second Army!

But now, Junliu's confidence has finally shook!

Perhaps, the Second Army really can't take Wuhan down!

However, Jun Liu still had a trace of luck in his heart.

At that moment, Toshirou said to Kawabian Masasa: "Habianjun, order the Aviation Corps to dispatch all attack aircraft, fighter aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft to slow down the speed of the Chinese army in Macheng as far as possible!"

After pausing, Junliu said again: "At present, the only thing we can do is to buy as many hours as possible for the Second Army and His Highness Nianyan. Even if we can't take Wuhan, at least we must give them enough time to withdraw troops! Withdraw from Wuhan to Xiaogan!"

"Hayi!" Hebian Zhengsan paused his head suddenly and turned around and left.

Okamura Yasuji hesitated for a moment, and finally reiterated the old saying: "General, the complete deterioration of the war situation in Wuhan is inevitable. Now it is time to consider the aftermath!"

Junliu frowned and said in a deep voice: "The base camp cannot agree."

Okamura Yasuji said: "Even if the base camp does not agree to the request to urgently mobilize ten divisions, at least the already organized 21st army must be transferred to Wuhan!" After pausing, he continued, "After all, compared to occupying Guangzhou and completely blocking the China coastline, I think it is more strategic to capture Wuhan!"

Jun Liu was silent.

...

At the same time, in the commander-in-chief of Chongqing.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky finally brightened!

The radio broadcast of the voice of Jianghan is still continuing, and Xiao Bing is still reporting the battle situation on the Hankou battlefield to all people through radio waves. This is enough to show that Hankou has not yet been lost!

A group of senior generals in the command headquarters gradually became excited!

Because the situation has reversed and the moment we witnessed the miracle, we are getting closer and closer!

Principal Chang couldn't sit still, so he walked to the map and watched a group of senior leaders in the commander-in-chief perform homework on the map!

The senior staff in the command department has very high literacy and the work on the map is very beautiful, which is simply impeccable!

Looking at the three red arrows that were approaching Wuhan quickly on the map, Principal Chang still felt a little slow, and immediately said to Liu Sheng: "Wei Zhang, call Sun Lianzhong's second army immediately and ask them to send a division first. No, send a regiment to Hankou at the speed of forcing the force, and be sure to arrive at Hankou before the evening!"

Chen Shi knew the intention of Principal Chang's move, but he still made a fuss about rebuttal: "Principal, it's useless to send a regiment of troops to Hankou."

"What do you know?" President Chang waved his hand and said, "A mere regiment cannot pose a practical threat to Higashinomiya Nianhe's Second Army, but the psychological deterrence to the Japanese army is incalculable, especially at this time, this psychological deterrence effect will be ten times or hundreds of times magnified!"

"Oh, I understand!" Chen Shi said with an instant look of enlightenment, "What the principal means is that as long as this regiment appears outside Hankou City, the Japanese army will completely lose their confidence in occupying Wuhan?"

"Yeah." President Chang said happily, "That's what it means."

...

On the way to Hankou from Macheng, there is a small town called Baliwan.

At this moment, Sun Lianzhong, the commander-in-chief of the Third Corps of the National Revolutionary Army and the Second Army, was riding a horse, standing on a small hillside beside the road, watching the team of the Second Army advance in a mighty manner.

Sun Lianzhong was born in the Northwest Army and was one of the thirteen Taishang under Feng Yuxiang's command. He was also one of the few powerful generals who could fight tough battles!

In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the main force of Li Guangxi's fifth war zone was able to severely damage the Japanese Seya Detachment and the main force of Sakamoto Detachment was mainly because Sun Lianzhong's troops defended Taierzhuang to death, which greatly consumed the strong growth of the two Japanese detachments. At the same time, it also adjusted and deployed the theater command and gathered the main force to gain time!

It is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the Taierzhuang Battle that after the battle, Sun Lianzhong was immediately appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Third Corps by the ** Command!

The Third Corps has six armies under its jurisdiction!

But now, Sun Lianzhong only has the 30th Army and the 42nd Army around him!

The other four armies have just arrived in Macheng, and there are still more than thirty kilometers away!

There is no way to do this. There are six armies and more than a dozen divisions and nearly 200,000 people. A small Macheng must not be able to support it, so it can only be scattered everywhere for training and rest.

Because of this, it takes time to regain troops!

So now, Sun Lianzhong has thirty armies and 42 armies around him!

"Report..." A fast horse suddenly ran towards him, and the messenger on the horse's back shouted from afar, "Commander-in-Chief, the commander-in-chief is urgent, the commander-in-chief is urgent!"

Sun Lianzhong's adjutant quickly came down to receive the telegram and handed it over to Sun Lianzhong.

After reading the telegram, Sun Lianzhong immediately said to Feng Anbang, the commander of the 42nd Army, who was beside him: "Brother Huamin, the situation in Wuhan does not seem to be very good. The principal asked us to send a regiment to urgently rush to help at the speed of forcing force. It is better to do this. You personally lead a cavalry regiment to Hankou!"
