At the same time, at the Chongqing headquarters.
Principal Chang convened an emergency meeting again.
At the meeting, Chen Shi said in a deep voice: "Everyone, accept the reality. As of today, the Battle of Wuhan can no longer continue. In fact, we have lost! The top priority is to mobilize the troops on the Hunan-Jiangxi battlefield and the three towns of Wuhan as soon as possible. Withdraw and retain these two precious armed forces for the party and state!"
Bai Chongbei said: "But as far as I know, Hankou just won another battle this morning!"
"So what?" Chen Shi spread his hands and said, "The Japanese army quickly adjusted their tactics and no longer launched a mindless attack. Instead, they began to use the Hankou garrison for actual combat training!"
Speaking of this meal, Chen Shi sighed again: "There are capable people on the Japs side, and this method is really powerful! Once the Japs complete their troop training, the ratio of casualties between the enemy and us on the Hankou battlefield will soon rise to one to three. , one to five is possible! If this casualty ratio is used, how many Japanese can the ten brigades in the Wuhan Garrison fight to kill?"
There was a burst of whispers in the conference room, and Principal Chang also frowned.
"I'm afraid it can't be such a simple calculation." Liu Sheng said, "Yes, I also admit that the actual combat training conducted by the Japanese is indeed powerful, and it is indeed very difficult to deal with, but this does not mean that we have nothing to do! Brother Cixiu Therefore, is it too arbitrary to conclude that the ratio of casualties between the enemy and ourselves will rise to one to three, or even one to five?"
"Yes!" Bai Chongbei was much more rude and said, "No one has despised Zhong Yi before, but both the Japanese and some of us have been slapped in the face by the facts!"
"It seems that Brother Jiansheng and Brother Weizhang have quite a lot of confidence in Zhong Yi." Chen Shi smiled and said, "Okay, let's assume for the moment that Zhong Yi has a way to deal with this situation, but I would like to ask you two, What is Zhong Yi¡¯s ultimate goal of guarding Wuhan? Is it just to guard Wuhan itself?¡±
"Of course not!" Liu Sheng said, "The purpose of defending Wuhan is to counterattack!"
Bai Chongbei also said: "If we don't counterattack in the end, defending Wuhan will be meaningless!"
"That's right!" Chen Shi said, "The purpose of defending Wuhan is to counterattack. If we cannot welcome a major counterattack in the end, our defense will be in vain and meaningless! So, what is the prerequisite for counterattack?"
Liu Sheng's heart suddenly sank when he heard this, but he still frowned and said: "There are two prerequisites for the counterattack. One is that the Second Army of Higashikanomiya Nurihiko was injured and exhausted in the battle to attack Wuhan, and the other is that Okamura Ningci¡¯s 11th Army has never been able to cross the line between Ningguo and Xiushui! There is no way to rush to the Wuhan battlefield to help!"
"You're right!" Chen Yong fought hard and said, "Whether Zhong Yi can let Dong Jiure Gong Nianyan's second army be exhausted and exhausted in Wuhan, let's not talk about it for now, but Xue Yue's first army The Corps is almost unable to withstand Ningguo and Xiushui, and Okamura Neji¡¯s Eleventh Army is about to cross Ningguo and Xiushui!"
After a pause, Chen Shi continued: "You may not know yet, but Xue Yue's First Corps paid a very heavy price in order to drag the main force of Neji Okamura's 11th Army to the front line of Xiushui and Ningguo! Ninth Army The Group Army and the 20th Group Army were basically defeated, and the 74th Army and the 29th Army were basically exhausted within less than half a month of rushing for reinforcements!"
Whispers resounded in the conference room again, and everyone had worried looks on their faces.
Chen Shi added: "Just half an hour ago, Xue Yue sent me another telegram, asking me to transfer a group army from Zhang Fakui's Second Corps to him, but what I want to say is that Zhang Fakui's Second Corps was used to resist The attack by the Japanese navy and Botian detachment is already very difficult, so where can there be reinforcements for Xue Yue?"
Principal Chang asked: "Is there really no troops to deploy in Cixiu?"
"Yes, principal, there are really no troops left!" Chen Shi said, "Tang Enbo's Thirty-first Army and Guan Linzheng's Twelfth Army have been transferred to the First Army, and all have been disabled. If we continue to recruit troops from the Third Army, If the Second Corps transfers troops to the First Corps, then the Second Corps will really resort to an empty city strategy!"
After a pause, Chen Shi continued: "When the Tianjia Town Fortress falls due to lack of defense, who will bear the responsibility?"
Principal Chang, Liu Sheng, Bai Chongbei and other senior generals were immediately frightened when they heard this. Once the Tianjia Town Fortress was lost, the Japanese Navy's river fleet could go up the river and reach Wuhan. If this was the case, the battle to defend Wuhan would be There is really no need to continue fighting, just retreat!
The biggest reliance on the three towns of Wuhan to persist in the war of resistance is the smooth flow of waterways!
Once the waterway was cut off by the Japanese army, the three towns in Wuhan fell into the dilemma of fighting on their own, and failure was inevitable!
Chen Shi's cold gaze swept across the faces of Liu Sheng and Bai Chongbei, and then continued: "As the commander-in-chief of the ninth theater area, the troops under my command are not performing well, and my face is also dull, but the reality is This is reality! Once Okamura Neji¡¯s Eleventh Army breaks through the Xiushui and Ning defense lines, do you think there will be a counterattack in the Wuhan Battle?"
"Absolutely impossible!" He Yingpei sighed softly and added, "Once the Second Army of Higashikanomiya Nurihiko and the Eleventh Army of Okamura Neji are united, even if the entire Chinese army is concentrated, I can¡¯t even chew it!¡±
"So." Chen Shi said in a deep voice, "Admit it, the battle of Wuhan has been lost!"
The eyes of Bai Chongbei, Liu Sheng and other senior generals all turned to Principal Chang's face.
Principal Chang¡¯s eyes fell on Bai Chongbei¡¯s face and asked, ¡°Jiansheng, what¡¯s your opinion?¡±
At the critical moment, Principal Chang was obviously more willing to believe in the judgment of little Zhuge Bai Chongbei.
Bai Chongbei sighed softly and said sadly: "Principal, if Okamura Neji's 11th Army is really allowed to break through the Xiushui and Ning defense lines, then there is really no need to continue the Wuhan Battle! It's better to take advantage of it now. The situation has not completely deteriorated yet, so all units participating in the war must be withdrawn in time!"
At this time, Liu Sheng suddenly said: "Do you want to wait a few more days?"
"No, we must retreat immediately!" Chen Shi said decisively, "Brother Zhang, have you forgotten the lessons of the Songhu Battle? During the Songhu Battle, it was because of the delay of three precious days that it turned into an unprecedented disaster. Defeat! This time, we cannot repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Songhu no matter what!"
Liu Sheng immediately fell silent upon hearing this. What else could he say?
Principal Chang¡¯s brows furrowed again. Chen Shi¡¯s words brought back the most painful memory in his heart!
At that moment, Principal Chang slapped the table and said: "Immediately call the Ninth Theater Frontline Command and the Wuhan Garrison Command. The plan for the Wuhan battle is cancelled, and all participating troops will withdraw from the battle immediately!"
ps: Don¡¯t scold me. This chapter break was really not intentional. It just happened to be the end of the chapter at this point. Fortunately, there is still chapter 539 today, Disobedience on the Battlefield. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
