Xiushui County, frontline headquarters of the Ninth War Zone.
Xue Yue looked away from Yu Jishi's back and asked quietly: "Zhong Lin, you can't tell me that in half a month, a large-scale malaria outbreak will definitely break out in the Japanese army, but it is already July 20th, why hasn't the Japanese army made any move? "
After entering July, Okamura Neiji¡¯s Eleventh Army once again strengthened its offensive, putting great pressure on the First Corps.
Tang Enbo's 31st Army and Guan Linzheng's 12th Army, which had just been transferred from the Second Corps, suffered heavy losses in succession. Although Xue Yue urgently mobilized Yu Jishi's 74th Army and Chen Anbao's 29th Army to go to the front line, he was actually shaken in his heart and believed that General Okamura would Neji's Eleventh Army has little hope of blocking Xiushui and Wuning.
At this moment, Zhang Lingfu gave Xue Yue a shot in the arm!
Zhang Lingfu told him that within half a month a large-scale malaria outbreak would break out among the Japanese army!
And the reasons listed by Zhang Lingfu are also very sufficient.
First of all, Xiushui and Wuning on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi have deep mountains and dense forests, and are full of lakes and rivers, which are conducive to the breeding of mosquitoes, and mosquitoes are the source of infection for diseases such as malaria and cholera!
Secondly, due to the fierce fighting between the two armies, the battle lines were crisscrossed, and the bodies of many fallen soldiers could not be collected in time and rotted on the spot, which could easily induce malaria, cholera and other diseases!
In fact, malaria outbreaks occur every year in several counties bordering Hunan and Jiangxi!
The last and most important point is that it is impossible for the Japanese army to prepare for this in advance. In other words, once malaria appears in the army, it will easily spread quickly!
Xue Yue was finally convinced and decided to hold on for another half month!
Because the First Corps has paid a heavy price since the war started. If it ends like this, Xue Yue will not be able to swallow this breath no matter what!
In the blink of an eye, the time has arrived on July 20th!
Yu Jishi¡¯s 74th Army and Chen Anbao¡¯s 29th Army have been basically disabled, but the large-scale malaria outbreak that Zhang Lingfu mentioned has not yet come!
Even though Xue Yue was used to seeing countless big scenes, he felt uncertain.
After a pause, Xue Yue continued: "As early as ten days ago, malaria was discovered in our army, but because we were prepared and stocked up on quinine tablets in advance, the malaria epidemic was brought under control. If nothing goes wrong, Malaria must have appeared in the Japanese army. Could it be that the Japanese army also stocked up on quinine tablets in advance?"
In the past, Zhang Lingfu would have said it was impossible without hesitation.
But now, Zhang Lingfu no longer dares to be so sure. After all, the Japanese offensive shows no sign of weakening. This is an indisputable fact! In other words, there has not been a large-scale malaria epidemic in the Japanese army, at least not yet, otherwise it will definitely affect the Japanese army's offensive!
"Chief seat." Zhang Lingfu said, "Is it possible that the Japanese army is holding on?"
??
Zhang Lingfu nodded and said solemnly: "Master, we cannot rule out this possibility."
"Zhong Lin, this is just your guess after all." After a pause, Xue Yuer said, "And have you considered what price you will pay if your guess is wrong?"
"I have thought about it!" Zhang Lingfu said solemnly, "If the speculation is wrong, not only the main force of the entire ninth theater will be destroyed, but the main force of the Wuhan Garrison and the fifth theater will also suffer heavy losses!"
Xue Yue¡¯s eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at Zhang Lingfu for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Then let me ask you again, how likely do you think what you just said is?"
Zhang Lingfu looked back at Xue Yue without fear, and when he was about to speak, a communications staff officer suddenly walked in quickly.
"General!" The communications staff officer walked quickly to Xue Yue, handed the folder in his hand forward, and said loudly, "The headquarters has an urgent call!"
"An urgent call from the headquarters?" Xue Yue frowned slightly.
He took the folder, opened it, and took out a telegram.
After reading the telegram, Xue Yue¡¯s brows immediately tightened.
Zhang Lingfu said: "Chief, what's the matter? What happened?"
"You can read it yourself." After Xue Yue finished speaking, he handed over the telegram.
Zhang Lingfu only glanced at the telegram and immediately changed his expression: "What? The plan for the Wuhan battle is cancelled?! All participating troops withdraw from the battle immediately?!"
? ??¡
At the same time, in Wuchang.
The military meeting continues.
Zhong Yi said: "We don't need to consider the matters in the ninth theater. We only need to guard the three towns of Wuhan!"
"Okay then!" Zhang Shiliang nodded and continued, "Then we will only discuss the situation in the three towns of Wuhan. Everyone, I will still say what I said just now. Unless it can cause trouble to Dong Jiuregong Nianyan's Second Army. More than 150,000 casualties, otherwise it will not be enough to break their muscles and bones, and the time for counterattack will never come!"
Zhong Yi nodded: "I completely agree with Staff Officer Zhang's judgment! Inflicting at least 150,000 casualties on Dong Jiuregong Nianyan's Second Army is a necessary condition for a major counterattack!"
Zhang Shiliang went on to say: "Regardless of local battle losses, once the Japanese army is familiar with the tactics of street fighting, the casualty ratio between the enemy and us is basically one to two! In other words, if you want to defeat Dong Jiuregong Nianyan's Second Army If it causes 150,000 casualties, our army will have to pay at least 300,000 casualties!"
"I basically agree with this." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Although from a personal perspective, I would rather fight the Japanese army with casualties of one to one or even two to one, so I will tell me rationally that such a casualty ratio This is pure wishful thinking! A certain local battle is okay, but the overall casualties are absolutely impossible!"
After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "But, I want to add something"
At this time, a major staff officer from the Communications Department suddenly broke into the conference room and loudly reported: "Report, urgent call from Chongqing Headquarters!"
"What, a telegram from the headquarters?" Feng Yuxiang frowned and said, "Bring it over!"
The major staff officer handed over the folder in his hand. Feng Yuxiang took the folder and opened it. With just one glance, Feng Yuxiang's expression immediately changed!
"Chief, what's wrong?" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice.
Feng Yuxiang signaled Zhong Yi with his eyes, should he dissolve the meeting first?
Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "No, just say so."
Feng Yuxiang shook his head and said with a sigh: "The headquarters issued an urgent order that the plan for the Wuhan battle has been cancelled. All troops participating in the battle must withdraw from the battle immediately. There must be no mistake!"
The whole conference room was in an uproar. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
