From ancient times to the present, war has been a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Especially when moving to a thousand miles, it is even more time-consuming and labor-intensive. Especially in terms of logistics supply, it is very expensive.

Nowadays, it is better to have a more modern means of transportation. Although the steam train is a little slower, it can always run twenty or thirty kilometers in an hour.

Take the train from Luoyang to Zhengzhou, and then head south to Xinyang. The total distance is about 450 kilometers. This journey takes more than a day, and it takes about a sleep on the train to arrive.

Although this speed is much slower than the three-hour drive in later generations, it is always faster and more convenient than rushing on your shoulders and shoulders.

Otherwise, the Japanese like to follow the railway and waterways when attacking the offensive, so as to save time and effort and facilitate transportation of materials.

In fact, the Japanese made several adjustments just by formulating an offensive plan to attack Wuhan.

At first, I thought that when I attacked Wuhan, I would use the North China Front Army to head south along the Beijing-Han Railway, and cooperate with it, and use another army to advance westward through the Yangtze River.

This plan was formulated before the war, which was formulated in 1935, but the plan was later changed.

The reason is that the dried fruit took the initiative to fight the Battle of Shanghai, avoiding the battle with the Japanese in the North China Plain, and changing the Japanese’s strategic intentions.

But in fact, the Battle of Songhu was not well fought and the North China Plain was not preserved... So the Japanese could still carry out the original plan.

However, the poor public security situation in North China changed the Japanese's decision. Because the Japanese discovered that if they were really following the original plan, just protecting the railway along the way would cost a lot of manpower, material resources and troops.

In particular, the Eighth Route Army developed guerrillas everywhere and took action on the Japanese logistics supply lines everywhere. In addition, Hu Yizhou also caused several damages on the railway and built a railway bridge. The Japanese could only change the plan.

It would be impossible not to change. If you really pick up the rear, there would be no troops in Wuhan to attack...

Then, the Japanese formulated a second plan: they would attack two groups, one along the Huaihe River and the other along the Yangtze River, all of which were used to replenish supplies and replenish them by means of waterways.

This plan is far worse than the first plan. Both are attacking with double-line attacks, but this angle is much smaller than the attacking with 90 degrees angles in the north and east.

Is the reason? Everyone knows that it is the matter at Gardenkou!

In a yellow area, 890,000 people were killed, millions of people were affected, and more than 10 million people were implicated, which indirectly caused a 42-year famine. After paying this heavy price, all that was only changed the Japanese offensive plan and blocked the attack that had blocked the earth-famous attack.

Sacrifice the safety of the people's lives and property, and let the soldiers and officials run away...

This price is too heavy! Too sad! Too dark! It also causes the loss of people's hearts!

You don’t take us ordinary people seriously, who will take you seriously? In addition, the disaster of Tom Ge in the later period...the four major harms of water, drought, locust soup!

Perhaps, the principal has never considered the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people? He is only considering the fundamental interests of several major families? He is considering how to sit firmly on the chair under his butt and don’t let someone lift him down...

In the end, the Japanese formulated their current offensive plan!

It was as mentioned earlier that we went west along the Yangtze River, along the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains, and along the west along the Dabie Mountains, and finally attacked Wuhan.

This plan is far behind the previous two plans...

The offensive commander of the North Road is Higakiguchi. This guy is the emperor's uncle and has four divisions under his command, all of which are full of serious A-type divisions () divisions.

Note that these four divisions, the 3rd Division advance team, the 13th Division Yamada Detachment, and the 16th Division all participated in the Nanjing Massacre, especially the 13th Division and the 16th Division.

Hu Yizhou knew that one of his regiments would not play much role in the face of such a war, and even if he was cheated, he would not even make any waves.

However, just for these Japanese divisions, Hu Yizhou felt that it was worth it. Nothing else, just for the breath in the hearts of the soldiers! Just to send these executioners home early to see the Emperor underground...

Otherwise, with the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he will advance mechanizedly? He will bring out the main lineup of the security team and bring the best weapons and the most abundant ammunition? Let’s dream!

Is it uncomfortable to spend time with my wife at home? Isn’t it good to play guerrillas in the Taihang Mountains? Isn’t it fun to destroy the traffic of the Japanese in the North China Plain? Is it fun to disguise the Japanese noble officers? Is it not satisfying to go to the city to sway and get some poison?

So, Hu Yizhou had a breath in his chest, and a sense of killing his enemy was affecting him...

"Woo...bang bang...she..." With the long whistle and brake sound, a series of military trains stopped at Xinyang Railway Station. Hu Yizhou's destination arrived. The train went south further and would pass through the Dabie Mountains and reach Wuhan.

Oh, I forgot to explain the terrain of the Dabie Mountains.

The Dabie Mountains are, first of all, it is very big, otherwise it cannot be called Dabie Mountains! Secondly, because of its barriers, the climate gap between the north and south of the mountain is very large, so it is called Dabie Mountains.

It is said that Li Bai once climbed the white horse tip of the main peak of Dabie Mountain, looked at the scenery on the north and south sides, and sighed: "The flowers in the south of the mountain are blooming, and the snow in the north of the mountain is covered with snow. This mountain is very different from other mountains!" Dabie Mountain is named after this.

It doesn't matter whether this is the case. What's important is that the shape of the Dabie Mountains looks like a huge axe with the handle in the west and the axe in the east, just blocking Wuhan to the south.

If the Japanese want to attack Wuhan through the Dabie Mountains, they must cross the Dabie Mountains. The best way to cross the Dabie Mountains is to pass one of the seven passages that cross the mountains. And the shorter the westwards of these passages.

The mall that Hu Yizhou was going to was one of the intersections of the seven passages that were the east. Because it was Baiqueyuan on the west side of the mall, Shawo could also go south...

When the train enters the station, it enjoys exclusive platform stops because it is a military train.

After all the security team's supplies got off the train, Cui Geng's convoy also got off the train, and the military train headed elsewhere. That's right, Cui Geng and his team drove the heavy truck onto the train and pulled it to Xinyang.

"Captain, how can we go? There are so many supplies!" Looking at the ammunition and grain placed on both sides of the railway, Su Laoliu couldn't help asking.

"Yes, how can I take it away?" Hu Yizhou was also a little worried. He brought too much! Not to mention the excess ammunition, just one battalion of ordinary infantry had 90 rounds of bullets and 8 grenades on his body, let alone the 200 rounds of combat ammunition sent up by the soldiers of the Guard Company.
