Chapter 198: Deng Xihou: I've Seen Through You

Minister He stepped forward: "Principal!"

"Since the Sichuan Army's plan is feasible, we should make arrangements early."

Bai Zhuge nodded, "Yes... Principal!"

"It is better to plan early."

Chen Shaokuan stood out, "Principal, my Navy units can set out now."

"The Navy can finish laying water mines in the Jinshanwei Sea Area within one day and one night."

"Marshal, I believe that Chang Kaishen will not agree to your desire to assemble the Sichuan Army units for use."

That was exactly how he was calculating it, to first have the 23rd Group Army go to the Seventh War Zone.

Deng Xihou narrowed his eyes, "If the Japanese Tenth Army successfully lands, they will certainly seize this place first."

"Now that there is no fighting at Niangziguan, it is better for my 22nd Group Army to return to the Seventh War Zone as soon as possible."

If not for him, Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army would also have been a dismantled unit.

"You kid just let the Marshal request Yang Sen's 20th Army to be incorporated into the 23rd Group Army."

Deng Xihou looked at Yu Hua, "It seems!"

"It seems... Chang Kaishen is still willing to part with it."

He patted Yu Hua on the shoulder again, "I also feel that is the case."

Fu Chang received the telegram from the Nanjing Command and came before Marshal Liu.

Yu Hua walked forward and picked up the command stick.

Under Chang Kaishen's arrangement.

As long as the 61st Division and the 67th Army cooperate well and block the Tenth Army at Songjiang Town, they can still buy quite a bit of time.

Seeing Marshal Liu call his name, Yu Hua stood out.

Fu Chang drafted a telegram and sent it to the Nanjing Command.

"Exactly!" Sun Zhen also chimed in, "Don't we know you?"

"The 43rd Army is currently resting in Songjiang Town."

The many Sichuan Army generals smiled knowingly.

"But, you can try to have Yang Sen's 20th Army transferred into the 23rd Group Army."

"Cut off the highway and the Railway to link up with the Shanghai Expeditionary Army."

Yu Hua was still clear about Chang Kaishen's thoughts.

He knew it must be his own butterfly effect.

Deploying water mines in Jinshanwei at the moment only requires sending some small warships.

Seeing Marshal Liu say this, everyone also held back—don't laugh!

"Transferred!" Fu Chang nodded, "The German-equipped Division 61st Division was formerly the Independent 20th Brigade."

Hearing Fu Chang say this, Marshal Liu immediately said: "Change the Songhu Battlefield map."

Sichuan Army units must be used in a dispersed manner and absolutely must not be gathered together.

"To wipe out my more than seven hundred thousand elite troops in the Songhu Region in one fell swoop."

"Now there are no more troops in the whole country that can be deployed."

Originally, Yu Hua thought his plan was seamless.

"Just deploy water mines for me in the Jinshanwei area; you must seal off this entire area for me with water mines."

Yu Hua wanted to re-plan a war zone for the Sichuan Army.

"Yes!" Chen Shaokuan saluted Chang Kaishen.

Marshal Liu walked up to Yu Hua, "Good kid!"

At the same time!

The Staff Officers inside the command post immediately took down the Niangziguan map on the wall and replaced it with the Songhu Battlefield map.

Following closely, Chang Kaishen's gaze turned toward the Minister of the Service Department, Yu Feipeng.

Besides this, there were also the Training Fleet, Patrol Fleet, Survey Fleet, and the Electric Torpedo School.

Although the Republic of China's Navy units were not as combat-effective as the Japanese, they still possessed over one hundred and twenty large and small warships capable of combat.

"I know you must have some ideas in your heart."

"It's an emergency, yet you still won't let my Sichuan Army be assembled for use."

"Damn it!" Marshal Liu cursed angrily, "Chang Kaishen, he says the military situation in the north is equally urgent now."

"Chang Kaishen has agreed to our combat plan."

"Marshal!"

Yu Hua also understood Marshal Liu's anger in his heart.

Fu Chang grinned, "Marshal, according to the latest deployment from the Nanjing Command."

Marshal Liu's expression was joyful, "Good!"

Sun Zhen, who was on the side, looked at Fu Chang: "Besides the 43rd Army guarding, did Chang Kaishen transfer any other armies?"

Upon hearing this, Marshal Liu was relatively satisfied in his heart.

Looking at Deng Xihou, Yu Hua discovered that the other party had a look of, "Little guy, I've seen through you."

"This Chang Kaishen really knows how to play, damn it."

He didn't expect that Deng Xihou had actually noticed it.

"Hurry and think of a way for me; what must my Sichuan Army do for Chang Kaishen to let us assemble for use?"

After Yu Feipeng returned to his Service Department, he immediately issued the latest orders to his subordinates.

"And there is Wu Keren's 67th Army."

The Sichuan Army's plan was implemented.

At present, the force possessed by Songjiang Town is already no less than twenty thousand men.

The logistics department seized the time to manufacture Large Iron Nails and Barbed Wire.

"I will leave the matter of the nails and Barbed Wire to you to be responsible for."

"Marshal!"

Marshal Liu frowned slightly, "I will go and try."

In the original timeline, the 67th Army, which had not yet fully assembled, cooperated with the Sichuan Army 43rd Army and local security forces.

"For the next step, are you planning for the 43rd Army to also be reassigned to the 23rd Group Army?"

"Let me understand the difficulties of the Nanjing Command."

"What do you think?"

Not long after, the Nanjing Command replied.

"You arrange the Navy units now, as soon as it gets dark."

Because they are professionals.

"They are currently destroying the highways and Railway of the Seventh War Zone."

"You knew just now that Chang Kaishen is unwilling to have our two Sichuan Army group armies assemble in the Seventh War Zone."

Absorb the two Sichuan Army units on the Songhu Battlefield, and then go a step further to assemble the 23rd Group Army and the 22nd Group Army in one war zone.

Upon hearing this, Yu Hua also felt a surge of turbulent waves in his heart.

"Our Sichuan Army is being made things difficult for by Chang Kaishen like this now; you kid must be plotting something in your heart."

"This time, if it weren't for Adjutant Yu, I fear my 22nd Group Army would have long been dismembered by Chang Kaishen."

"This time, Chang Kaishen's head was finally not caught in a door."

In fact, Yu Hua had another idea in his heart that he had not yet revealed to Marshal Liu.

"I will certainly handle this matter well."

"The 22nd Group Army cannot be moved easily!"

These combat-capable naval vessels were organized into four fleets: the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Fleet.

"The 22nd Group Army can only take root in the Jin Province Battlefield."

"You kid only wants to take advantage and is unwilling to suffer a loss."

Deng Xihou patted Yu Hua on the shoulder, "You kid, you are full of devious schemes."

Marshal Liu looked at Yu Hua, "The 23rd Group Army has already followed your method."

Yu Hua, standing to the side, learned that the force defending Songjiang had increased.

"Yu Hua!"

He needed some time, and the location of the Seventh War Zone was not very ideal.

Yu Hua heard this, smiled slightly, and muttered in his heart: "Isn't that so!"

Sun Zhen stepped forward, "Marshal, what did Chang Kaishen say!"

Yu Feipeng stepped forward and assured Chang Kaishen, "Principal, please rest assured."

At the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army command post at Niangziguan.

"It is still our Adjutant Yu who sees this Principal of ours very clearly."

"Songjiang is here."

"Its strategic position is very important; it concerns the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway and the Hukang Railway."

Chang Kaishen looked at Chen Shaokuan, "Good!"

He was plotting bit by bit to have the two Sichuan Army group armies assembled and used.

"Transferred one Division of the Central Army and one Army of the Northeast Army."

They held on in Songjiang Town for three days.

After Marshal Liu finished reading the telegram, his eyes widened and he cursed loudly: "Damn it!"

"I don't believe your nonsense!"

Yu Hua spread his hands, "Marshal, I am not Chang Kaishen."

"If I were him, I would just issue an order to you directly."

Besides, the Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army has already arrived at the Seventh War Zone.

This time it also arrived earlier than in the original timeline, which could also alleviate quite a bit of pressure on the Songhu front.

"Chang Kaishen directly ordered Guo Rudong to defend Songjiang."

"Yu Feipeng!"

And Deng Xihou noticed the slight change in Yu Hua's expression; he concluded that his guess was correct.

Brothers, Chapter 192 has been 'sent to the palace' (censored/blocked); this little loser edited it, but still couldn't save it. Everyone should read early; sometimes things get 'sent to the palace' for no reason.
