    The battle that took place in Litigation County, less than 300 miles away from Jiujiang, officially announced the beginning of another war.

    Although the scale of this war cannot be regarded as the largest since Japan invaded China, it has attracted countless pairs of eyes. Even President Roosevelt in the United States and Churchill, who was suffering from German bombing, also paid attention to it.  stand up.

    And almost everyone has an official idea, that is, if the Guangxi clique represented by Su Rui can continue to defeat the Japanese army in this war, then it will represent a new and huge force rising in China. No one  can prevent the expansion of this force.

    In the distant White House, Roosevelt, sitting in a wheelchair, held coffee in his hand, looked at the rising sun outside the window and said in an affirmative tone.

    "If that young general can crush the Japanese attack this time, then I can conclude that this person will have more than half a chance of becoming the new ruler of this country."

    "I have no doubt about your conclusion on this point, dear Mr. President." Hawkins, sitting opposite Roosevelt, nodded in agreement, but then he frowned and continued.

    "As for the Japanese, I mentioned it in the report I submitted to you two years ago. The Japanese are like a poor and crazy villain. They will rob everything they can see that is of use.  In their own hands. What's more important is that this nation's thirst for land has reached a perverted level. The nation that has lived on that small island with frequent earthquakes and equally barren products for thousands of years has been influenced by their so-called bushido.  They are already red-eyed, and anyone or anything that stands in front of them will be regarded as an enemy by them. I have only one conclusion about this nation, no matter what incredible things they do, it is normal in their eyes."

    Taking advantage of the gap between Hawkins' words, Roosevelt smiled and asked: "Then what do you think of the war taking place in China?"

    Putting down the cup in his hand, Hawkins shrugged and said: "I have only one conclusion about that war. If the Japanese win, then they will continue the process of conquering China, but if the young general wins  Already"

    At this point, Hawkins hesitated and then said: "If the young general wins. This will be tantamount to giving the ambitious Japanese a blow in the head, and Japan will most likely change its attitude toward China."  Policy. Japan is like a torrent. If this end is blocked, they will look for another outlet, and that outlet is very likely"

    "It's most likely the Southeast Asia and the Pacific, right?" Roosevelt took over Hawkins' words and continued.

    Hawkins nodded: "Yes, Mr. President, in view of Japan's natural desire for land resources, their greed will never end. Even if they hit a wall with China, they will soon turn around."  We are looking for the next opponent. And that opponent is probably usthe great United States of America!"

    "This was expected." Roosevelt was not surprised at all by Hawkins's conclusion. "The world needs a core country to lead other countries on the planet to move forward together. This problem is not only seen by me, but also by others."  arrive.

    This country used to be Britain, but now Britain has gradually degenerated. This former empire that never sets on the sun has lost its former glory. Now many people want to fight for this status for their country. Hitler and Stalin are both working in this direction.  And work hard.

    And we are also working hard towards this goal, but achieving this goal cannot be achieved by just talking.  It needs to be solved by means of war.  This is a very superficial truth, but the big guys in Congress just can't figure it out. Hawkins, what do you think we should do?  "

    Hawkins couldn't help but suddenly realized: "Oh. I understand. You are saying that it doesn't matter if the Japanese don't attack us. If they want to use force against us, then we can just take the opportunity to declare war on the Japanese and achieve our goal. That's it.  What?"

    "Congratulations on the correct answer, dear Hawkins!" Roosevelt laughed, then picked up the coffee and made a toast gesture to Hawkins.

    Suri didn¡¯t know that there were two people on the other side of the ocean discussing national affairs related to the world structure.  At this time, he was sitting in the brightly lit combat headquarters, looking at the three-meter-long and two-meter-wide sand table in front of him, watching Liang Zhi, Xu Zuyi and a group of staff engage in sand table deductions.

    After a while, Xu Zuyi, who had finished the current stage of the deduction, reported: "Sir, if the 1st Armored Division cannot defeat the 39th Division before noon, then when the 15th Division arrives, it will face two divisions.  The regiment will attack from both sides, so the situation will become difficult to control."Bai Chongxi frowned and asked, "Didn't we already order the 400th Division to follow the Armored Division? How could it still be like this?"

    Liang Zhi explained: "The 400th Division did follow the Armored Division, but because the Armored Division was too fast and the road from Jiujiang to Susong County was not very good, the 400th Division except the 597th Regiment followed.  In addition, other troops are still on the way and are not expected to arrive until daybreak."

    "How could this happen?" Bai Chongxi said angrily: "The 400th Division usually performs well in training, but why does it get so bad when a war begins?"

    Li Zongren on the side shook his head and said: "The 400 Division cannot be entirely blamed. The 400 Division suffered too many losses in the Fujian Campaign a few months ago. Although it has been replenished now, the number of experienced non-commissioned officers and veterans has been greatly reduced, resulting in  This kind of thing is inevitable, but the most important thing now is to order the armored division to capture Susong County before noon tomorrow, what do you think, Zhongxin?"

    Su Rui, who had been sitting in front of the sand table silently, slowly shook his head: "Gong De, although the 1st Armored Division launched a surprise attack on the 39th Division at night, it caught them off guard. But now it is at night after all.  After all, night operations have great limitations, and the armored division is a heavily armed force, so night operations have great limitations, so we cannot place all our expectations on whether the armored division can complete its mission on time."

    Li Zongren¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Oh, does Zhongxin have any good ideas?¡±

    Su Rui smiled dumbly: "I don't have any good ideas, it's just the same old thing."

    Su Rui stood up as he spoke, stared at the sand table and said with bright eyes: "Brother De Gong, Jiansheng, think about it, what are the advantages of our fourth theater? In addition to sophisticated weapons, is our air superiority just  Can't we take advantage of it? I think we should order the air force in Jiangxi to dispatch at least one flight group after dawn to conduct an air attack on the Japanese 15th Division halfway up the road. Even if they cannot be severely damaged, they must be firmly dragged on the road.  We must not let them reach Susong County on time."

    Bai Chongxi nodded: "This is a good idea, but Zhongxin, have you ever thought about it? If this is the case, the Japanese will definitely send out all their fighter planes to fight for our lives. And their air force will not just watch us bomb.  With their reinforcements, they will also trigger the Air Force to provide reinforcements to Susong County."

    Su Rui sneered: "What are you afraid of? As the saying goes, everyone can change their tricks. It just depends on who becomes cleverer. By the same token, at this time, are we afraid of fighting the Japanese? Our aircraft are more advanced than the Japanese, and our number  It¡¯s no less than theirs. I really can¡¯t think of any reason to lose this battle¡­¡±

    ¡°Day¡­day¡­¡±

    A mortar shell passed over the Japanese position and landed in front, splashing mud pillars and black smoke. Several metal shrapnel flew over and hit the armor of the tank in front, making a clanging sound.

    "Ah bah bah" The monkey following the tank spit out the dirt in his mouth and cursed: "Damn, why can't the little devil's mortar shells seem to be endless, they have been firing non-stop since morning  Ah, what a damn bad luck."

    Liu Yi did not speak, but slowly stuck his head out of the tank and looked forward, and finally pointed forward and said: "Monkey, you see there is no place more than 500 meters ahead at 12 o'clock. If I didn't  You misread, that is a mortar position of the Japanese. The shells just came from them. You should immediately bring your platoon and two tanks to kill them. As long as we can kill them, we can rush into the city.  Gone in."

    The monkey squinted his eyes and observed for a while before he said with a ferocious smile: "Okay, I'll bring someone to pick them up right away!"

    After saying that, the monkey climbed onto the tank in front of him and knocked hard on the tank lid with the butt of his gun. Soon the tank lid opened, revealing a face that was darkened by engine oil and gunpowder smoke.  , he is none other than the platoon leader Chang Xiaochun, the lieutenant of the 1st Tank Regiment whose tracks were blown off by the Japanese army last night.

    Chang Xiaochun stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes from not sleeping all night and asked: "Brother, what's the matter?"

    Monkey grinned, pointed forward and said: "Platoon Commander Chang, have you ever gone to the depression five hundred meters ahead? There is a mortar position for the Japs. Our company commander said that as long as we can kill them, we can  We're entering the city, how about it? You bring out two tanks and go with us to kill them!"

    Chang Xiaochun squinted his eyes and looked ahead for a while and nodded: "No problem, isn't it just five hundred meters? It's just a step on the accelerator. You just have to wait and see, we've got this job covered!"

    "Ehthat can't be done!" Monkey quickly stopped him, "The Japs won't just wait for you to fight, and their death squads are not vegetarians either. You forgot how your tracks were blown off last night."Got it?  "

    "Okay, then let's go together!" Chang Xiaochun was also a kind-hearted person, and he quickly agreed happily!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
