September 18, 27, the Republic of China, at exactly 8:00 a.m.

Liu Sheng walked into the combat hall of the command headquarters worriedly.

Zhong Yi is not the only one who keeps his mind clear, but also Liu Sheng.

Zhong Yi has been locked in a confinement room and can ignore anything, but Liu Sheng cannot, because he is still the director of the Operations Department of the Commander!

So every night, Liu Sheng was worried.

I was afraid that I would wake up early in the morning and the battle situation on the Dabie Mountains battlefield had taken a sharp turn!

And as time goes by, Liu Sheng's worries become heavier and heavier!

Seeing Liu Sheng coming in, the Gao Officer who stayed on duty last night immediately came forward.

Attacking the Gao Commander nodded, Liu Sheng asked, "Staff General Gao, there was nothing wrong with it last night, right?"

"No." Chief Gao shook his head and said, "According to your instructions from Director, I also specifically asked the defenders of Dawu County, Guangshan County and Shangcheng County, without any abnormalities!"

"Okay, as long as there is no abnormality." Liu Sheng breathed a long sigh.

The absence of abnormalities means that Zhong Yi’s worrying situation did not occur.

At least, this situation has not happened until today.

At that moment, Liu Sheng said again: "Have there any progress in the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese 22nd and 27th Divisions?"

Staff Gao shook his head and said, "This may disappoint the director, and there is no progress. I heard that the fortifications from the Japanese at Guifeng Mountain, Bodaofeng, Tiantang Village to Baimajian were more and more perfect. The twenty-six troops in the Dabie Mountains attacked for ten days, and there was almost no progress."

"As expected." Liu Sheng sighed, "It's not so easy to counterattack."

After pausing, Liu Sheng said again: "Fortunately, even if you can't get it, you should be fine to protect yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone ringing from the communications office next to the combat hall suddenly rang.

Staff Gao quickly rushed into the communications office, grabbed the telephone and said loudly: "I am the Operations Office of the Commander, please speak!"

After two seconds, Chief Gao suddenly changed his face and shouted: "What? What did you say?! The Japanese Navy Inland Fleet suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Tianjia Town Fortress?"

Liu Shiwen's heart suddenly jumped, and a very bad premonition appeared.

"I understand!" After a few seconds, General Gao hurriedly hung up the phone and said to Liu Sheng, "Director, Tianjia Town Fortress General Command reported that the Japanese army mobilized at least forty gunboats to launch a fierce attack on them, and at the same time, Guangji County on the outskirts of the fortress were also attacked by a large group of Japanese infantry!"

After pausing, General Gao continued: "The Fortress Command estimates that the 11th Army of Okamura, which had been in silence for more than a month, will restart the offensive again!"

"The 11th Army?" Liu Sheng held his forehead with his hand and sighed in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's not just the 11th Army!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen radio stations displayed in the communication room suddenly started to scream one after another.

The radio operator sitting in front of the radio quickly put on his headphones and while listening carefully, he recorded the recorded dots and scratch characters on the copy paper one by one.

Looking at the radio operator who suddenly became busy, Staff Gao couldn't help but be stunned.

Liu Sheng's face collapsed in an instant, and what should come finally came!

...

An hour later, President Chang arrived after hearing the news.

When Principal Chang quickly walked into the combat hall, the high staff of the commander-in-chief had already been busy, with only a few senior generals including Chen Shi, He Yingpei, and others quickly approaching.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Principal Chang stomped the floor with the civilized stick in his hand and asked anxiously, "It was calm last night, why did the air leak everywhere when I woke up early this morning?"

Chen Shi and He Yingpei looked at each other and were speechless. Ask me, who will I go?

While speaking, Principal Chang had already walked to the sand table to touch the sand table. Liu Sheng, with a few advisers, was concentrating on the sand table work. It was not until then that he saw Principal Chang and quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Forgive." Principal Chang waved his hand impatiently and said, "Weizhang, what's the situation now?"

"Principal, the situation is not good!" Liu Sheng calmed down and replied, "In the south, Guangji County, Huangmei County and Tianjia Town Fortress were attacked by the Japanese army at the same time, and the offensive was extremely fierce. There are enough signs that this is a new round of offensive launched by the 11th Army of Okamura on me!"

"No, the situation is wrong?" Chen Shi frowned, "The main attack direction of Okamura's 11th Army is the Hunan-Jiangxi border. Why did you run to the north bank of the Yangtze River abnormally?"

Liu Sheng said: "Before, Okamura's 11th Army attacked the Hunan-Jiangxi border in order to cut off the Guanghan Railway and then surrounded the main force of our army in Wuhan. But now our main force is no longer in Wuhan, why did the 11th Army still go to the Hunan-Jiangxi border?"

Chen Shi's expression changed again when he heard this. To put it, Okamura Yanji's 11th Army came for Dabie Mountains!

"Impossible, impossible!" said Principal Chang, "Isn't the little Japanese finances going bankrupt? Are they no longer able to launch a large-scale attack? Moreover, Okamura's 11th Army suffered huge losses on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi, how could it be possible to launch such a large-scale attack?"

Liu Sheng ignored Principal Chang and continued: "In the north, the shopping malls, Guangshan, Dawu and Jinzhai counties on the border of Hubei, Henan and Anhui were also attacked by the Japanese army at the same time. The attack on Dawu was particularly fierce. The Japanese army not only dispatched long-range bombers, but also had large-caliber heavy howitzers!"

"The shopping mall, Guangshan, Dawu and Jinzhai counties were attacked by the Japanese army at the same time?" Chen Shi shouted in dismay, "The Japanese army attacking Dawu County even used large-caliber heavy howitzers?"

"Yes!" Liu Sheng nodded and continued, "According to the current situation, it is basically certain that a newly formed Japanese army has entered the northern part of the Dabie Mountains battlefield and swept across from the northeast to the west. Their intention should be to form an encirclement with the 11th Army of Okamura in the south."

"The momentum of encirclement?" He Yingpei jumped and said in a lost voice, "Who is encircling?"

Liu Sheng picked up the wooden pole and pressed it heavily on the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "The more than 600,000 elite troops surrounded my Dabie Mountains War Zone!"

"This is impossible! This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Principal Chang had completely lost his composure and roared, "The national strength of Japan is almost exhausted. How can it be able to form a new army? How can it be able to have the financial resources to launch a larger offensive than the Battle of Wuhan? This is absolutely impossible!"

"Principal!" Liu Sheng said coldly, "This is just a continuation of the Wuhan Battle!"
Chapter completed!
