It was obviously a few days later than in history, but Jiang Bai felt that it was very normal.
Perhaps it was because of the butterfly effect of his transmigration.
The 6th division had been forced back to their homeland by him, and the 18th division had been forced to withdraw its name. Even the 114th division had not recovered their fighting strength due to the loss of more than half of their members.
The original Zhonghai dispatched troops under the command of Matsui Ishigen still maintained a relatively complete combat strength.
However, the 10th division was almost destroyed. If the Japanese wanted to take Zhong Hai, they would need to transfer troops from the mainland.
This also meant that the Japanese had much more time to prepare to attack Zhong Hai.
It had been almost a month since he transmigrated. Time seemed to have flown by.
However, the Japanese had much more time to prepare. In order to ensure that they could attack in an instant, the Japanese sent Junroku to take over Matsui Ishigne's position. At the same time, they also sent the 11th division to the Huazhong front army.
The 114th division was merged into the 11th division, and the 3rd division was transferred from the mainland to become the 10th division.
The 3rd division had always been a veteran division of the Japanese. Even though their fighting strength and reputation were not as great as the 6th and 5th divisions, they were still not as powerful as the 6th and 5th divisions.
However, as the main division of the Guandong Army, the 3rd division was also quite powerful.
Two years ago, the 3rd division was transferred back from Manchuria and had been staying in the country ever since.
This time, the 11th division was built on the 3rd division.
With the 3rd Division as the main force, along with the original 10th Division's 114, 106th Division, 101st Division, 33rd Division, 39th Division, and three independent armored brigade regiments, as well as the heavy artillery regiment, anti-aircraft artillery regiment, machine gun regiment, communications, field searchlights, bridges, and river crossing reinforcements, the total number of troops reached 150,000.
In addition, Matsui Ishigane's original command of Zhong Hai's dispatched troops had also been increased.
Originally, the main force of Zhong Hai was the 9th Division, 13th Division, 17th Division, and the 10th Brigade.
Together with the other troops, the total military strength reached 100,000.
However, perhaps to prove their determination, they had strengthened the 7th and 14th divisions, as well as the 102nd and 103rd divisions, as well as three independent mixed regiments.
In addition, there were two independent heavy artillery regiments, three 3 machine gun regiments, four 44th air defense regiments, and five 55th tank regiments.
Just the original army sent by Zhong Hai had 250,000 troops.
With the addition of the 11th division, the Japanese planned to gather at least 400,000 soldiers in Zhong Hai.
It could be said that the Japanese were all eliminated. Outside of Manchuria, half of the forces in Hua Nation.
Facing the aggressive Japanese, it was like Alexander for the entire Chinese army.
Including the independent military advisor, there were less than 150,000 soldiers in the whole of Zhong Hai.
150,000 against 400,000 elite Japanese. This was the first time since the Japanese started the invasion that they had the absolute advantage in terms of numbers.
At present, the Japanese's military deployment plan was still an absolute secret.
The Japanese were not fools. How could they possibly announce how many troops they were going to mobilize to participate in the battle?
For the Japanese, killing Jiang Bai was almost an obsession.
Jiang Bai only knew about this because of his connection with Chongren of the Sanli Palace.
The document that the prince was carrying had relevant information.
At the meeting, Jiang Bai said bluntly,""I agree with Commander Tang's request to gather all the ships. However, I think these ships must be used as an important tool to evacuate the other armies.
This time, the Japanese are really coming at us menacingly. This will be the strongest Japanese we have to face since the outbreak of the war.”
Tang Shengzhi had already given the order.
Remove the ferry between Xiaguan and Pukou and prohibit any troops and soldiers from crossing the river from Xiaguan.
He also ordered the Hu Zongnan First Army in Pukou to stop the soldiers from crossing the river from Zhonghai to the north bank. If anyone refused, they could shoot.
At this point, Jiang Bai also turned his gaze to Qiu Qing Quan in the conference room and said,""Officer Qiu, your mission is to ensure that our troops can retreat in time when the Japanese approach Zhonghai.”
Hearing Jiang Bai's words, all the generals in the conference room were somewhat unable to understand.
Although it was a torture for every general to face the pressure of the Japanese, it was hard for some people to accept that Jiang Bai was left alone in Zhong Hai.
Wouldn't that make them deserters?
" No, Commander Jiang, do you really want to stay in Zhong Hai? Is it meaningful?"
Qiu Qing Quan asked in confusion.
The two of them had a pretty good relationship. They had both studied at Hans before, so they had known each other for a long time.
"Old Qiu, do you think I'm a reckless person?"
Jiang Bai didn't explain anything but asked seriously.
Thinking of his understanding of Jiang Bai, Qiu Qing Quan shook his head and didn't ask anything. He just shook his head and remained silent.
Even though there were still many people who objected, all the generals present were finally convinced by Jiang Bai's insistence.
According to Jiang Bai's request, three days was enough.
In other words, the entire garrison would only last for three days.
Three days later, all the troops could retreat to Zhonghai City, and then the military advisor would cover them to cross the Yangtze River and head to Pukou.
In other words, the first three days of the battle in Zhong Hai would not be the time for the military advisor to do anything, but in the next one to two months, Zhong Hai would be the battlefield for Jiang Bai and the Japanese.
After the military meeting, Jiang Bai walked out of the Tang Mansion with Tang Shengzhi.
At this moment, a large number of reporters in the Tang Residence also came over.
When Jiang Bai came to the Tang Residence, he saw these reporters. He was also planning to officially stand on the stage of history.
Tang Shengzhi was familiar with the way the reporters surrounded him. He immediately introduced Jiang Bai and said,""Aren't you all very curious about who Yu is? The little brother standing next to me is Jiang Bai, who recently beat the hell out of the Japanese.”
After hearing Tang Shengzhi's words, all the reporters present aimed their cameras at Jiang Bai and started taking pictures.
The spotlights kept flashing, and almost all the microphones were pointed at Jiang Bai's mouth.
All sorts of questions were asked by the reporters.
"I can't answer any of your questions like this!”
Jiang Bai looked at the time and continued,""In half an hour, I will be holding a press conference at the Independent Military Advisor's residence. Those who are interested can come and participate.”
Jiang Bai smiled and left.
Tang Shengzhi shook his head with a smile as he watched the reporters leave with Jiang Bai.
Hua Nation needed a strong idol to boost the morale of the nation and motivate the young people.
Now that Jiang Bai had shown up, he was shouldering the important task of defending Zhong Hai, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
As soon as he returned to Jiang Bai's independent military advisor's residence, Chu Yunfei had already prepared a place for him to hold the press conference.
However, due to military secrets, all the reporters were not invited to the independent military advisor's residence.
Instead, they were all gathered in a theater next to the independent military advisor's residence. However, Chu Yunfei also sent people to tidy up and set up a simple performance conference venue.
Half an hour later, all the reporters had gathered.
As soon as the press conference began, Jiang Bai announced the official start of the press conference and immediately said,""I believe that many reporters attending this press conference will be very interested in the content of my nationwide broadcast.
I can solemnly repeat that it is true.”
At this point, Jiang Bai immediately took out dozens of tape and said,"All the evidence is also inside. After the press conference ended, everyone could come and get a copy. The contents of the photos were irrefutable evidence.”
When the reporters saw the film, their eyes lit up.
After all, Jiang Bai's previous announcement of the power transmission in plain code was simply big news.
For a prince of the Wei Nation to give such an order was a huge scandal.
In fact, these reporters who had been in Hua Country for a long time did not doubt Jiang Bai's words because they had seen many crimes committed by the Japanese in Hua Country.
