    When Xia Yang heard this, he knew that this was Commander Feng's intention to test himself, but on the surface he still pretended to refuse and said: "I don't dare to take this seriously, Commander Feng. All the staff officers here have great plans, so where can I get a small group like me?"  Talk a lot!"

    Commander Feng laughed and scolded: "Okay, stop being glib here. The last time you analyzed the situation on the Songhu battlefield here, it was indeed as you said. Our initial plan to drive the Japanese troops back to the sea to feed the fish has completely failed.  At this time, we are engaged in a tug-of-war with the Japanese army in the Songhu area."

    Chen Cunpu also said: "Yes, everything is moving forward bit by bit as you said. Our offensive plan went bankrupt and we are now in a stalemate with the Japanese army. But I already have a hunch that this stalemate will not last long.  Long."

    "Not only that, but also as you said before. Our navy did not play any role, and even chose to sink the Yangtze River Estuary to block the Japanese warship channel. Although the air force has some role, the number is too small and the combat capability  Limited." said a staff officer.

    He had questioned what Xia Yang said at first, but as the battlefield situation turned out to be what Xia Yang said, the national army gradually showed its decline.

    "Under the Japanese army's extremely intensive naval gunfire and air fire support, our soldiers suffered heavy casualties." Commander Feng said in a sad tone.

    "So, let's analyze it! I believe in your strategic vision, Commander Xia." Commander Feng made a gesture of invitation, and then made room for Xia Yang where he was standing just now.

    Xia Yang also knows that if he shirks it at this time, he really doesn't know how to appreciate it.

    He walked to the military map, cleared his throat, pointed to the military map above and said: "What Commander Feng said earlier is correct. However, I think that the direction of the Japanese attack, except for Jinpu Road and Pinghan Railway,  Besides, there is another direction." As he said that, Xia Yang pointed to Shanxi.

    "Shanxi! The territory of the Jin-Sui Army!" Chen Cunpu said.

    Xia Yang nodded and said: "Yes, I think this will be the third direction of attack. In this way, we can contain the Jinsui Army, and even approach the Hanzhong area through Shanxi. Once the Japanese army takes over the Hanzhong area, our land of abundance, Sichuan, will be exposed  It's on the Japanese attack route. Don't forget, that's our rear area!"

    As he said that, Xia Yang pointed to the back of the map with his finger.

    Hearing this, Commander Feng and all the staff officers in the command room couldn't help but nod.

    Because Xia Yang¡¯s analysis can be said to be very accurate.  He had even guessed the overall strategic intentions of the Japanese army and the focus of the Japanese attack.

    "Next, what Chief of Staff Chen mentioned just now is whether we can withstand the Japanese attack." Xia Yang continued.

    Chen Cunpu said: "Yes, near Baoding City and between Peking and Baoding, the main troops stationed are the 29th Army and the 59th Army. In addition to some surrounding local troops, there are also the Northeast Army and local warlords. Our  The number of troops is probably around 100,000."

    A staff officer said: "I think if we can withstand the Japanese frontal attack for a month, we can get support from troops from the Henan and Hubei regions, and even the Shanxi-Sui Army may divide their troops to help us.

    The most critical thing is that the Japanese army is fighting on two fronts and attacking us in the Shanghai area and North China area at the same time.  Whether it is logistical supplies or soldier support, there will be big problems.  We may not fail.  "

    Some staff members nodded after hearing this.  At least what this staff officer said was reasonable, and it might not be impossible for them to achieve final victory.

    But Xia Yang said: "More than 100,000 troops, the support of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, and the collapse of the Japanese logistics support system, these elements of victory sound good."

    "Isn't it?" the staff officer asked.

    Xia Yang shook his head and said: "No, that's not the case. First of all, you overestimated the Central Army. With the war in Songhu battlefield being tense, do you really think that the superiors will transfer troops from Hubei and Henan to the North China battlefield?  Instead of moving these troops to Nanjing and Shanghai.

    After all, that¡¯s where the capital is and where our industrial base is.  Compared with the impoverished north, it is obviously worthy of the central government to invest more troops to defend it.  "

    Hearing Xia Yang's words, everyone fell into silence.

    Xia Yang continued: "Secondly, you underestimated the Japanese army's logistical support capabilities."

    ¡°Our logistical supplies still rely on mules, horses and even ox-carts, and only partially rely on railway transportation. However, every division of the Japanese army?, are equipped with specialized transport brigades to support frontline operations.

    At the same time, they also have aircraft for air delivery.  Some Japanese troops that penetrate deep into the rear of our army can even receive logistical supplies from the Japanese army at any time.  Even if it is a two-front battle, their logistics support capabilities are enough to cope with it.  "Xia Yang told everything he knew about the Japanese army. In terms of comprehensive strength, the gap between the two sides was indeed too huge.

    The staff officers in the command room fell into a dead silence.

    "Then how are we going to fight this battle? Are we just going to hand over a large area of ??land north of the Yellow River to others?" a staff officer asked unwillingly.

    Chen Cunpu also asked at this time: "If the superiors want us to stick to this place, then all we can do is to wait for help."

    Commander Feng, who had been silent all this time, also said at this time: "If the superiors don't let us retreat, all we can do is really defend Baoding City."

    Xia Yang said solemnly: "If that's the case, then we will stick to this place and try to delay these little Japs. The more Japanese troops we can delay on this route, the more Japanese troops we can hold back in the direction of Shanxi and Jinpu Road.  , it will not be so easy to advance. The pressure on the troops stationed there will also be reduced a lot."

    "What ifwhat if the reinforcements from our route never arrive?" a staff officer asked.

    No one spoke anymore, because the answer was already in everyone's heart.  If their reinforcements never arrive, the role of their 59th Army and 29th Army will be to sacrifice everyone to delay the Japanese army's advance.

    They are abandoned children!

    But all this is just speculation. When the war actually begins, the situation changes rapidly. No one can imagine what will happen the next day.

    Commander Feng said: "I also ask you all to hold on to the determination to defend your homeland and resist the war, and resist to the end! As long as the anti-Japanese fire continues, we, the Chinese people, will never fail."

    As he spoke, he looked at everyone with a firm expression.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
