The ground was covered in scorched earth, and the soldiers howled. This round of bombing took the lives of hundreds of soldiers.
Through the binoculars, Liang Xiao sighed helplessly when he saw the bloody scene of the soldiers being bombed by shells.

third day.
The Japanese army dispatched planes, tanks and cannons to bombard the Wanjialing position indiscriminately.
The 26th Army guarding the Wanjialing position, under the cover of mountain artillery and mortars, counterattacked the Japanese army with the help of the position.
Going on like this is not an option. After all, the consumption and casualties of positional warfare cannot be afforded by the national army, especially for the 26th Army, which is known for being good at attacking fortifications. Now it is passively defending in Wanjialing. This is something that all officers and soldiers of the 26th Army cannot afford. endured.
"Report."
"Come in."
Zhou Shiji walked in briskly with the rank of major general on his shoulders.
"General, we can't fight like this anymore. For two whole days, our 26th Army suffered 6000 casualties. The little devil's planes and cannons bombarded the ground in turn. The 26th Army can't afford such a loss. General, please think twice .”
Zhou Shiji knew that Liang Xiao had been ordered to go down, but he couldn't help but beg for mercy.
"Today is only the third day. I have already issued a military order to the theater to defeat the enemy's 107th Division within half a month. It is impossible to retreat. All positions must be firmly in our hands."
Liang Xiao flatly refused.
"The Japanese army's attack was so fierce that we couldn't resist it at all. If we continue to fight like this, our 26th Army will be seriously injured."
Zhou Shiji shouted.
"The Special Operations Division has sent special operations troops to sneak into the rear of the 107th Division. It won't take long for the rear of the 10th Division to become chaotic."
Liang Xiao smiled faintly.
"But our 26th Army is facing the little devils of the 107th Division. The little devils of the 10th Division are different from other devils. These devils are very powerful in combat. In addition, the little devils have aircraft and cannons. Our 26th Army has already fought It's hard enough."
Zhou Shiji complained.
"No matter how hard it is, we must fight. I won't say much about the importance of the Wanjialing position."
Liang Xiao said.
Zhou Shiji sighed helplessly. The 26th Army can have the scale it is today because he exhausted countless efforts and gathered it up little by little. He was really unwilling to be defeated in Wanjialing like this.
"General, the Wanjialing position is certainly important, but the lives of officers and soldiers of our 26th Army are equally important."
Zhou Shiji said.
"Of course I know that the lives of officers and soldiers are equally important, but Wanjialing is Wuhan's barrier. If Wanjialing is lost, Wuhan will be in danger. Once Wuhan falls, the Japanese army will only become more arrogant."
Liang Xiao said.
Zhou Shiji nodded helplessly, his immediate superior had already said so, what else could he do, he could only continue to fight.
"I will personally go to the forward position to supervise the battle."
"You sit in the military headquarters and prepare logistical support and field medical care. The battles are commanded by officers from various ministries. As an officer, you have to trust their capabilities."
Liang Lai didn't like to leapfrog command, he only arranged the strategy and tactics, and let the officers of each unit freely display their tactical talents.
"Yes."
Zhou Shiji said.
"Go to work."
Liang Xiao sent Zhou Shiji away with a wave of his hand. He still has a lot of work to do in the headquarters, so he doesn't have time to talk nonsense with him.
After Zhou Shiji left the headquarters.
Chen Hua chuckled softly, "Chief of Staff Zhou feels sorry for the family property of the 26th Army."
"He is distressed, and I am also distressed. The 26th Army's wealth is accumulated little by little, and it is buried in the Wanjialing position like this. I feel very uncomfortable."
Liang Xiao sighed slightly.
hear him.
Chen Hua raised his eyebrows and said with a happy smile: "A few minutes ago, our radio station received a telegram from the headquarters of the Special Warfare Division. With medical equipment, about a thousand Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded.”
"That's good news."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Liang Xiao's mouth, and he said, "Is there any news from the rest of the special forces?"
"Mr. Sun's telegram only mentioned the success report of the third team, and the rest of the special warfare teams didn't mention anything. I will send a telegram to Mr. Sun for inquiries."
Chen Huadao.
"You don't need to ask. If there is good news, Sun Bing will generate electricity immediately. He didn't mention a word, which means that there is no news about the special warfare unit that has penetrated behind the enemy's rear."
Liang Xiao said.
"Yes."
Chen Hua nodded slightly.
"In the battle of Wanjialing, we can only win, not lose. If we lose, Wuhan will lose."
There was a cold look in Liang Xiao's eyes.
“将军所言有理,万家岭是武汉的屏障,之前守卫武汉的是No.70四军和第四军,这两个军和107师团打了那么多天,一直被107师团压着打,现在换上了我们26军,10师团再也无法压制我们,胜负都在五五之间,不过,以将军您的谋划,此战一定能赢.”
Chen Hua gave a little flattery.
"Don't say anything that sounds nice, it doesn't sound like what you said from your heart."
Liang Xiao waved his hand.
"Yes, the humble job is busy."
Chen Hua turned and left.
"Go."
Liang Xiao waved his hand.
Outside.
The fighting was brutal.
The Japanese attack was like a surging tide, wave after wave.
Relying on their positions and powerful artillery fire, the national army stopped the Japanese attacking troops at the foot of the mountain.
The two sides used a large-scale artillery battle. As soon as the artillery battle was over, the Japanese army began to attack again.
Repeatedly, for a whole day, the Japanese army failed to attack the forward position of Wanjialing.
Chapter 141 Sneak Attack Plan
After several days of fighting.
With the deadlock between China and Japan, stop for the time being.
The Japanese army could not attack the Wanjialing position, and the 26th Army could not take the initiative to attack.
After several days of onslaught, the offensive of the Japanese 107th Division finally stopped.
It's not that the 107th Division has no energy to continue attacking, but that there is a problem in the rear of the 107th Division.
A small unit of the Special Operations Division infiltrated the rear of the 107th Division, attacked the 107th Division's logistics hospital, ammunition depot, blew up gasoline barrels, burned food and grass, and made the 107th Division exhausted.
Therefore, the 10th Division suspended its attack and tried its best to wipe out the small units that had penetrated to the rear.
Just as they were suspending their attack, all the small units that had penetrated to the rear had quietly returned to the special operations division station.
The continuous days of defensive battles cast a layer of gloom over the minds of the soldiers of the 26th Army.
Now finally stop.
The gunfire stopped abruptly.
The soldiers laughed happily on the battlefield.
headquarters.
Liang Xiao summoned generals above brigade commander to participate in the next phase of the combat meeting.
The operations in the previous stage were mainly focused on defense.
The next phase of operations will focus on active attack.
He issued a military order to the Ninth War Zone to defeat the 107th Division within half a month. This is a military matter, not a joke.
Therefore, the next phase of the combat mission must first be an active attack. Only in the attack can we find the opponent's flaws and defeat them in one fell swoop.
"Everyone, speak freely, talk about the next battle, how to fight?"
Liang Xiao signaled the generals to express their opinions.
Generals, you look at me, I look at you, everyone whispers, but no one dares to speak.
After all, the person sitting in front of them was Liang Xiao who was known as the God of War, not an ordinary general.
Letting them play tricks in front of Liang Xiao, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud.
"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it. We are all our own people. It's okay to say something bad."
Liang Xiao chuckled and signaled everyone to speak with confidence.
"The humble job has something to say."
Master Chang Zhenguo stood up and said.
He is a fifth generation student of Whampoa.
He is also a major general officer of the Whampoa Faction under Liang Xiao's command.
"Speak up if you have something to say."
Liang Xiao said.
"The humble staff believes that our army is not good at defense and should take the initiative to attack. Moreover, this moment is the best time to attack. There is chaos in the rear of the 10th Division. Taking advantage of this opportunity, our army will attack across the board. It will definitely catch the opponent by surprise."
Changzhen State Road.
"Is there... a detailed battle plan?"
Liang Xiao asked.
"The division is stationed on the north and west of Wanjialing. Judging from the deployment of their troops, the west is backed by mountains, with high mountains as barriers, and the north is surrounded by loess hills. The 107th Division has three 3rd Infantry Wings and one Artillery Wing, with a strength of about 1 people.”
"My humble opinion is that if our army wants to attack, we must first attack the mountains in the west. There are no more than five or six thousand devils there. Our army is familiar with the terrain and launched an attack at night. Before the devils in the north are aware of it, we will attack the west Annihilate the devils, and then gather forces to start a decisive battle with the main force of the 6000th Division at the foot of Wanjialing."
"With the combat power of the 26th Army and the assistance of the Special Warfare Division, I feel that we have 107% certainty that we can annihilate the [-]th Division at the foot of Wanjialing."
Chang Zhenguo said confidently.
"When it comes to sneak attacks, the Special Warfare Division can be said to be an expert. If they send a small group of troops to infiltrate again, they will definitely reap unexpected results."
Zhou Shiji said.
"Humble job agrees with Mr. Chang's words."
Major General Sun Liren stood up and echoed, the brigade he led happened to be under the jurisdiction of Chang Zhenguo, so he naturally wanted to echo the strategy of his immediate superior.
Moreover, Chang Zhenguo's sneak attack plan is also well-planned, with a very high success rate.
"Xiaozhi also agrees with Mr. Chang's plan."
Major General Cao Xian stood up and said.
"Humble job also agrees."
Xia Liangjun, commander of the [-]th Brigade, got up and said.
Chapter 142
Liang Xiao glanced at the generals, and said with a final word: "Just follow Commander Chang's battle plan. However, the specific offensive strategy can only be carried out after the combat staff formulates a strict battle plan."
"Yes."
