Jinling City, the command room of the Kuomintang Army Operations Department, gathered together with stars
Everyone's expressions were grim. Beiping and Tianjin had fallen. The sharp decline in the war situation made the top officials of the government on pins and needles. The Japanese were far harder to fight than they thought;
More than a month ago, we were still shouting about the crisis in Peking and Tianjin, the crisis in North China, and the crisis of the Chinese nation. It has only been more than a month since Peking and Tianjin have fallen!
"Song Mingxuan harmed the country!"
The committee member sadly set a tone for the meeting. For such a big thing as the fall of Pingjin, someone must stand up and take the blame, and he cannot be allowed to take the blame.
"Pingjin is an important town in North China. Song Mingxuan had an army of 100,000 people. The Japanese only mobilized a mere 20,000 people and could not hold it for a month.
The important towns of Pingjin and Tianjin fell to the hands of foreigners, and a hundred thousand troops were wiped out.
Mother is so powerful, even if one hundred thousand pigs were left there for the devils to catch, they wouldn't be able to catch them in just one month!
These warlords are just unreliable!
When fighting for territory, people are full of vigor and vigor, and when fighting against the Japanese, they will compete with each other to see who has the longest legs..."
Thousands of words are omitted here. If it were to be written, it would be like a surging river, water after water, and all the government officials below are used to it.
I don’t know how long it took, but when he was tired of scolding, he finally remembered to get down to business and said with a cold face:
"Jingzhi, you are the chief of staff. Can you tell me what the next step should be?
If you want to fight the Japanese, you have to watch me, Huangpu Erlang! "
Perhaps because he had passed the test in advance, General He, the chief of national staff whose name was called, casually picked up a baton, walked to the giant map with a calm expression, and began to say to the map:
"Please see, after the Japanese occupied Pingjin, they did not stop too much. They only took a short rest and then divided their troops into three groups, heading south along Jinpu, Pinghan, and Tongpu roads with the intention of conquering the entire North China.
The 29th Army of Song Mingxuan, the king of North China, has been disintegrated and defeated. The entire North China has no danger to defend and no troops to use. The fall is only a matter of time;
The only ones left to rely on in the north were General Baichuan's Jin army and the tens of thousands of Red Army troops who planned to be reorganized into the Eighth Route Army.
As early as a few years ago, the Japanese Tanaka Cabinet declared that in order to conquer North China, Manchuria and Mongolia must be conquered first;
If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer North China. The current Japanese strategy is based on this.
The Qing army also took this route when they entered the customs. North China is a vast plain with no danger to defend. It is very suitable for the actions of the Japs' mechanized troops. Once the Japs occupy the entire North China, the consequences will be disastrous!
If we want to break the enemy's game, we must reopen the battlefield, just like playing Go. If the enemy wants to win in the middle game, then we will fight with him from the corners;
The most suitable place for China to serve as a new battlefield is here, Shencheng!
This is the economic center of China, only more than 300 kilometers away from Jinling. Once our army launches a posture in Shencheng to drive the Japanese into the sea, the Japanese will definitely respond, and the main battlefield will be moved from North China to East China;
The dense water network in East China is not suitable for mechanized troops to fight. Hundreds of thousands of our Central Army elites are concentrated here, and there are millions of local troops in central and southern China to support..."
He Jingzhi was talking non-stop, his words were drooling, and he was giving pointers like taking a leisurely stroll in the garden. Looking at him, Admiral Bai, who was known as Little Zhuge, poured sour water and kept puckering his mouth;
This strategy against the Japanese was indeed a sophisticated one, but even a fool could tell that it was definitely not the work of He Jingzhi. If he guessed correctly, it was Jiang Fangzhen's masterpiece, and the old man just said it through He Jingzhi's mouth.
Naturally, he was unhappy with the matter of picking off people's wisdom. It would definitely be more effective if he was asked to speak out. Unfortunately, he was only the deputy chief of staff and it was not his turn to be in the limelight.
Fortunately, someone did not ignore him. After He Jingzhi talked about the entire strategy, someone pretended to ask him:
"What Jingzhi said is very good and has everyone's style. I basically agree with it;
Jiansheng opened another battlefield in Songhu and invested a large number of Central Army elites in a decisive battle with the Japanese. This was related to the rise and fall of the country.
Soldiers are a major matter for the country. You are recognized by the government as the most important person in the world. I still want to hear your opinion again. "
Someone gave him enough face. Not only did he selectively ignore the small character in front of Zhuge, but he also showed an attitude of humbly asking for advice. This diluted the sour taste in Admiral Bai's chest a lot. After he cleared his throat said:
"The strategy formulated by the committee is very good. Bai's eyes lit up after listening to it. It is exactly what I thought!
Using Shencheng and Jinling as bait to lure the Japanese mechanized troops into a decisive battle with me in East China, where the water network is densely covered, this is definitely a sophisticated strategy comparable to that of Longzhong;
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this strategy, Bai has several suggestions:
First of all, we must avoid fighting on two fronts in Shanghai. The Japanese have a Marine Corps in Shanghai, about thousands of people, and a third fleet with dozens of warships. Each warship also has a squadron or several squadrons. Marine Corps, that is to say, under extreme circumstances, the Marine Corps force that the Japanese can use is close to 10,000 people;
A few days ago, the Japanese garrison shamelessly provoked trouble at Hongqiao Airport, intending to start a war and occupy Shanghai. Thousands of its Marines have brazenly launched attacks on the defense areas of our 87th Division and 88th Division, but were repelled by our troops.
It seems that the Japanese government has the same idea as ours. They also want to occupy Shencheng and then attack Jinling to force me to surrender;
The Japanese are blatantly mobilizing field divisions and planning to land in Shencheng. In order to avoid a two-front battle, they must launch an offensive before the large Japanese troops arrive and drive the Japanese Marines into the sea! "
When Xiao Zhuge said this, he waved his big hand, and with a strong control of his momentum, he suppressed his political rival He Jingzhi and let out a fierce sigh.
I have to say that Xiao Zhuge still had some urine. After all, Xiao Zhuge is also Zhuge. His suggestion was unanimously recognized by the participants. Someone also nodded in appreciation and said:
“Fighting on two fronts has always been a taboo for military strategists, and Brother Jiansheng’s suggestion is very good;
Now there are Zhang Wenbai's 87th Division and 88th Division on the front line of Songhu. These are adjustment divisions established by the government with a lot of money. The total strength is close to 30,000 people. There is no problem in driving thousands of navy red deer into the sea before the Japanese reinforcements arrive. "
His words caused a roar of laughter in the audience. He had attended the preview class at the Japanese Zhenwu Academy for several months, so he naturally knew the bad things about the Japanese Army, Red Deer and Navy;
In the eyes of the Japanese Army, the combat effectiveness of the Navy's Red Deer is a scumbag. Even the Chinese who stayed in Japan looked down on the Japanese Navy's Red Deer.
He used a cold joke to express his confidence in the Japanese Navy Red Deer on the Shencheng battlefield;
Not only is he full of confidence, but others are too. In their opinion, the Japanese Marines are just a bunch of scum. There is no problem at all in driving thousands of scum into the sea with 30,000 German weapon masters.
They all seem to have overlooked one of the most critical factors, the Japanese Third Fleet staying in the sea in Pudong. This negligence will be paid for with the blood of countless soldiers!
After receiving everyone's approval, Admiral Bai continued:
"The second suggestion is also at the strategic level. It can be summed up in one sentence: fight in Shanghai but not decisively in Shanghai!
Our government army can fight the main force of the Japs in Shencheng and attract the Japs' attention from North China. Then our strategic intention will be achieved.
At this time, we should choose the opportunity to withdraw the main force to the Wufu Line and the Xicheng Line, two heavily built defense lines, deploy defenses step by step, and use this Eastern Maginot Line of Defense to consume the enemy's energy;
Strive to keep them out of the defense line for more than half a year and buy enough time for factories and materials in East China to evacuate to central China and even the southwest! "
"Listen, this is what you want to say to seek the country, and it coincides with my thoughts!
The Wufu Line and the Xicheng Line have cost the government several years of financial expenditure. They are impregnable and can be defended for a year, let alone half a year.
The top priority is to launch an offensive in Shencheng and wipe out all the Japanese Marines in Shencheng!
Generate electricity for Zhang Wenbai..."
