    Principal Chang¡¯s expression moved slightly. He originally thought that Zhong Yi would hide all the bad news from the superiors like he did in Nanjing, but he didn¡¯t expect that he would report it to the police in the end!

    Now Principal Chang asked again: "What does structural damage mean?"

    Liu Sheng explained: "The so-called structural damage means that the structures of the three fortresses have been completely destroyed and no longer have the original strength. For example, they could withstand the bombing of one-ton aerial bombs at first, but now,  It couldn¡¯t even withstand the bombardment from the Japanese 105mm field howitzer!¡±

    Principal Chang frowned and said, "Doesn't this mean that these three fortresses are no longer considered barriers?"

    "Yes, these three fortresses can no longer be used as defensive barriers!" Liu Sheng sighed.

    After a pause, Liu Sheng continued: "The key to the problem is not that the structures of the three fortresses were damaged, but that the artillery groups of Guishan and Sheshan fortresses were also destroyed!"

    "Yes!" Bai Chongbei nodded, "Without artillery support, this is the biggest trouble!"

    Chen Shi then said: "Principal, these three fortresses and the long-range heavy firepower of Guishan and Snake Mountain are the defensive cornerstones of the entire Jianghan defense outline. Now without these three solid fortresses as defensive support, the entire Jianghan defense outline will be  It has become a castle in the air and can no longer be implemented!¡±

    Principal Chang¡¯s eyes fell on the sand table and asked: ¡°Did you just conduct a war game?¡±

    Chen Shi knew what Principal Chang wanted and replied: "Yes, the senior staff of the headquarters have just conducted a war game on the Hankou defense operation, and the results are very unoptimistic!"

    Principal Chang: "Why are you so pessimistic?"

    Chen Shi said: "According to the results of the deduction, Hankou can be held for a month at most, and it may even be declared lost within a week at the least!"

    "One week?" Principal Chang's face suddenly darkened.

    According to the Jianghan defense outline formulated by Zhong Yi, even if it is surrounded by more than a dozen Japanese divisions and hundreds of thousands of troops, it can still hold on for at least half a year, until the main forces in the fifth and ninth theaters have completed their rest and turned to counterattack!

    But now, Chen Shi told them that Hankou would probably be lost within a week!

    Liu Sheng said: "Brother Cixiu said this a bit too much. In last year's Battle of Songhu, one of Yao Ziqing's battalions faced heavy firepower from an infantry regiment of the Japanese army and dozens of warships, and they still held on for a week.  , there are now four brigades of defenders in Hankou, but they are not as good as Yao Ziqing¡¯s battalion!"

    Chen Shi retorted: "There were more than a dozen elite divisions in the battle to defend Nanjing. How many days did it last?"

    Liu Sheng was immediately speechless, because the battle to defend Nanjing only lasted 12 days from December 1, when the Japanese troops approached the city, to December 13, when the national army was defeated on a large scale!

    If Zhong Yi hadn¡¯t turned the tide in the end, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

    Chen Shi turned to Principal Chang and said: "Principal, the situation in Wuhan is now very obvious. With the destruction of the three fortresses of Guishan, Snake Mountain and Hankou Railway Station, the entire Jianghan defense outline has lost its support.  Then the entire battle plan for the Wuhan Battle will become a mirror in the mirror!"

    After a pause, Chen Shi continued: "So, I believe that there is no need to continue the Jianghan defense outline. The ten brigades guarding Wuhan can evacuate Wuhan, and Xue Yue's corps no longer needs to follow them on the Hunan-Jiangxi border.  If the Japanese army is entangled, they can also withdraw from the battle!"

    Principal Chang said: "Is the situation in Wuhan really that bad?"

    "I think so!" Chen Shi nodded. "If the Battle of Wuhan continues like this, apart from wasting precious troops, there will be no other gains! A heavy blow to the Japanese Second Army or the Eleventh Army.  It has become a wishful thinking, now we should lower our requirements!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chongbei said: "I object!"

    Principal Chang and a group of senior generals and senior counselors all turned their attention to Bai Chongbei.

    Bai Chongbei cleared his throat and said loudly: "Although Hankou Railway Station, Guishan, and Snake Mountain Fortresses have been destroyed, the situation in Wuhan is not so bad that we must abandon the defense immediately! In any case, Hankou Town is still there  Under the control of our army, not to mention the two towns of Hanyang and Wuchang!"

    "This is only temporary!" Chen Shi said, "With the long-range artillery fire of the Hankou Railway Station Fortress and Guishan and Snake Mountain Fortresses being destroyed, the Japanese army will soon launch a fierce attack on Hankou Town. You must know that at this time, the Japanese army gathered in Hankou City  The Japanese army outside has four divisions and a large number of artillery. Brother Jiansheng should not think that Zhu Liangcheng, Liu Yuanlin, and Shi Zude can defeat them all.Can four brigades in two days hold Hankou?  "

    "Why can't you defend it?" Bai Chongbei said, "You haven't even fought, so you dare to say you can't defend it?"

    Chen Shi said: "Brother Jiansheng, you also saw the war game just now, so what happened in the end?"

    "That's just a war game deduction! Actual combat and war game deductions are completely different things!" Bai Chongbei said, "What's more, even if it's a war game deduction, it's just a war game deduction that Zhong Yi didn't participate in!"

    Chen Shi said: "Brother Jiansheng, do you mean that if Zhong Yi participates, the results of the war game will be different?"

    "Perhaps, maybe not, but what does it matter?" Bai Chongbei turned his attention to Principal Chang again and said, "Principal, I think it's my humble duty to give up Hankou so easily!"

    After a pause, Bai Chongbei said again: "The Battle of Wuhan cannot be given up so easily!"

    "I completely agree with Brother Jiansheng's opinion." Liu Sheng echoed, "Principal, even if Hankou is finally lost, even if it only lasts for less than half a month, it doesn't matter!"

    "It doesn't matter?" Chen Shi said, "What do you mean?"

    "It's very simple." Liu Sheng said in a deep voice, "Until now, the Japanese Navy's river fleet has not even crossed the Tianjia Town Fortress. Until now, the Han River and even the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River are still under the control of our army.  So, even if the Japanese army captures Hankou, our army can still retreat to Hanyang and Wuchang to confront the Japanese army across the river!"

    Hearing this, Principal Chang¡¯s expression suddenly changed. Yes, we can still confront each other across the river!

    Chen Shi also frowned, yes, how could he forget about Jiang Fang?

    But at this moment, a senior counselor walked quickly into the hall holding a folder, walked up to Bai Chongbei, opened the folder, took out a telegram and handed it over.

    Bai Chongbei took the telegram and opened it.

    With just one glance, Bai Chongbei¡¯s expression changed!

    Not only did his expression change, the senior generals and senior staff officers present even noticed that Bai Chongbei's hands holding the telegram were trembling slightly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
