Chongqing, Command.

As time goes by, Principal Chang begins to feel the pressure.

On the one hand, he could not accept Bai Chongge's proposal no matter what, and he really handed over the Xiaogan encirclement and annihilation battle to Zhong Yi for command. But on the other hand, if he openly rejected Bai Chongge's proposal, he would really have to find a reasonable reason. In any case, Zhong Yi's ability has been fully demonstrated in the defense battle in Wuhan!

If you can't find the right reason, there's probably only one way left.

That is, there is no front-line command, and all participating departments are still commanded by the heads of the Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone.

But this is not something that Principal Chang was willing to see, because the Xiaogan encirclement and annihilation battle had the largest number of troops in the Fifth War Zone. After the battle, Bai Chong was rewarded with the greatest achievements in his grief!

Principal Chang was unwilling to give such a great war of sensation to Bai Chong for free!

Just when Principal Chang was in a dilemma and had no choice but to do anything, the telegram from the Wuhan Garrison Command arrived!

"Principal, Zhong Yi is sick!" Liu Sheng reported with a strange expression. To be honest, Liu Sheng couldn't understand why Zhong Yi refused their Guizhou Clan's kindness and took the initiative to turn away the responsibilities of the front-line commander-in-chief?

Liu Sheng was thinking differently from Bai Chongge. He was not unable to see Bai Chongge's little thoughts, but he felt that Zhong Yi actually commanded the Xiaogan encirclement and annihilation battle, which was what everyone expected, so he had secretly contacted a group of colleagues in the Operations Office to support Zhong Yi.

But now, everything is in vain.

Because Zhong Yi took the initiative to turn off this responsibility!

Zhong Yi sent a telegram saying that he was ill, so he couldn't force others to go into battle with illness, right?

"What, Zi Ren fell ill?" Principal Chang was overjoyed, but he looked worried, and asked anxiously, "Isn't that serious?"

Liu Sheng said: "The telegram said it was because of overwork."

"That's fine." President Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "For Zhang, I would like to remind him to have a good rest!"

"Yes!" Liu Sheng responded with respect and said, "I will call the Wuhan Garrison Command back!"

"Yes." Principal Chang nodded, looked around everyone, and said with regret, "Originally, as Jiansheng said in the telegram, Zi Ren is actually more suitable to serve as the actual commander of the Xiaogan encirclement and annihilation battle, but you have also seen that because the Wuhan defense battle was too hard, Zi Ren was exhausted!"

He paused and said, "We can't force a patient to the battlefield, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the officials and senior officials in the combat hall agreed.

"What the principal said is that Ziren is a party and state cadre, so he cannot be the second Huo Qubing!"

"Yes, I'm forcing the ligament disease to fight. If I get tired, who can bear the responsibility?"

"I tell you that the hardship of the Wuhan defense war is beyond words. Even if he is so strong, he can't stand it! He has to let Zi Ren take a good rest!"

Principal Chang said happily: "Since everyone agrees, let's continue to follow what I said before, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone will also serve as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy in Xiaogan, and then Sun Lianzhong and Li Pinxian will be the deputy commander-in-chief. As for the candidate for the chief of staff, I think Hu Zongnan, the commander of the First Army, will serve as the director of the staff, and then Zhang Lingfu will be the director of the staff."

Everyone praised in unison: "The principal is wise!"

...

Half an hour later, at Hankou Wharf.

Xue Yue and Zhang Lingfu had just arrived ashore when a staff officer caught up.

"General!" The staff officer stood attentively and reported, "The commander's headquarters urgently sent a telegram!"

Xue Yue waved his hand impatiently and said in a deep voice: "Remember!"

"Yes!" The staff member agreed and opened the folder and said, "From now on, Xiaogan Front Enemy Command will be established to unify the five war zones, and the participating departments of the Ninth War Zone will be commanded by Xue Yue, deputy commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, and the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone will be the commander-in-chief of the front enemy. Zhang Lingfu, director of the Staff Department of the Ninth War Zone, also serves as the Director of the Staff Department of the Front Command! This order will be the Commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army!"

After hearing this, Xue Yue and Zhang Lingfu's face also showed a look of surprise.

Zhang Lingfu said: "Didn't Vice President Bai have proposed to be commanded by the Wuhan Garrison Command?"

Xue Yue sneered: "Zhong Lin, do you know why Bai Chongbei's nickname is Xiao Zhuge, not Sai Zhuge?"

"I really don't know about this humble position." Zhang Lingfu shook his head and said, "I'd like to ask the chief executive to answer the questions."

Xue Yue said: "Zhuge Liang is really smart and has great wisdom, so he can save the tide of Shu Kingdom and fall into pieces, so he can become Liu Bei's important entrusted official. However, Bai Chong was only smart, so he is called Xiao Zhuge!"

"So that's it." Zhang Lingfu nodded and continued, "But in this matter, Bai Chong's misery may not be just a clever person, but may also be out of public aspirations."

"You." Xue Yue pointed at Zhang Lingfu and said, "If you may not lose to Zhong Ziren in marching and fighting, but you are not as good as him in life. You still need to practice hard!"

Zhang Lingfu said seriously: "I just think that Ziren has been fighting with Niyan Dongjiugu, Dongjiugu, for more than two months, and no one knows this opponent better than him, so it is most appropriate for him to direct Xiaogan to encircle and annihilation battle!"

"But you also know that this is impossible!" Xue Yue said, "The principal cannot agree!"

Zhang Lingfu sighed and said, "Sometimes I really can't understand why a simple thing is so complicated?"

"This is politics." Xue Yue said, "Okay, go and meet your Luojiashan training team classmate. First, we will ask him for experience in dealing with Nianyan from Dongjiugu, and second, we will also borrow some equipment from him!"

After saying that, ww. Xue Yue took a big strode and headed straight for the Dragon King Temple not far away.

Zhang Lingfu took two steps to follow and whispered: "Master, what equipment should I borrow?"

Xue Yue replied without looking back: "Of course it is the equipment seized from the Japanese army!"

"The seized equipment?" Zhang Lingfu pretended to be stupid, "Before the Japanese retreat, did not blow up all the heavy equipment that they could not take away? It included a large number of heavy howitzers."

"That's this time." Xue Yue shook his head, "Before, Zhong Ziren wiped out Fujita's 3rd Division and seized a field artillery corps. I want to borrow this howitzer from this corps!"

He paused for a moment and said, "The next battle of Xiaogan can be said to be a real battle. If there is no artillery soldier in his hand, how can he fight this battle?"

Zhang Lingfu frowned and said, "Master, isn't this appropriate?"
Chapter completed!
