At this time, Yu Da suddenly said: "Everyone, have you neglected something? ”

Including Zhong Yi, everyone's eyes gathered on Yu Da's face.

Yu Da said: "There is a way that offense is the best defense, we can't just think about defense, we have to attack, we have to attack, take the initiative to attack!" ”

Li Lianggang retorted: "If you take the initiative to attack, you must abandon the strong fortifications, and the precious troops are easily killed by the intensive fire of the Japanese army!" It's not a good choice! ”

Yu Da said: "Who said that you can only attack if you invest troops? ”

Li Lianggang said: "You mean, use long-range artillery to attack? ”

"That's right, long-range artillery!" Yu Dayi clapped his hands and said, "We can also build long-range artillery fortifications on the opposite side of the Han River at Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain on the opposite side of the Yangtze River, and when the devils attack the Hankou Railway Station, we can use the long-range artillery fire from these two positions to deliver accurate and fatal blows!" ”

At this moment, everyone's thoughts immediately came to life.

Ding Yan said: "We can also lay mines, and when the devils stop attacking at night, they will be covered with mines between the three main bunkers and the sub-forts, so that the next day, the devils will need a lot of time just to clean up the mines!" ”

Luo Zhaozong said excitedly: "Also, we can also build a large number of dark forts between the main fort and the sub-fort, whenever the main fort or a sub-fort faces the threat of being lost, we can use one or several hidden forts to give the devil a heavy blow by surprise!" ”

"And, yes." Qiu Zongding said eagerly, "I think you can also set a trap for the little devil." ”

Waiting for Zhong Yi and everyone's eyes to gather, Qiu Zongding continued: "We can build a fan-shaped trench around the railway station on the periphery of the bunker area, when the devil attacks, it can be used as the first line of fortification, but there is no need to defend it, and when the devil occupies the trench and advances, we will secretly transport the troops behind the devil through the reserved multiple tunnels, and seize this trench again, so that the devil who crosses this trench will be dumpled by us!" ”

Several staff officers became more and more energetic as they spoke, and all kinds of brains opened up one after another, and whimsical ideas emerged one after another.

Zhong Yi didn't speak, only took a quick record on the side, and at the same time sighed in his heart that it was no fluke that these staff officers could be screened out from various departments and transferred to the second group as staff officers.

In the end, the seven staff officers made more than 2,000 suggestions.

Some of these suggestions are not useful, and some are very useful, and Zhong Yi recorded them all.

Then, Zhong Yi and Yu Da and others discussed the geography of Wuhan one by one.

……

Three days passed quickly.

At six o'clock in the morning, Principal Chang got up on time, paced around Luojia Mountain for 40 minutes, and when his body was slightly sweaty, he returned to Tingsonglu to wash and eat.

Halfway through eating, Lin Wei hurried over.

Seeing Lin Wei, Principal Chang immediately asked, "Wei Ran, is it that the defense plan of the second group has come out?" ”

Lin Wei didn't say a word, and directly took out the outline of Jianghan's defense, which had been bound into a book, from his briefcase, and handed it to Principal Chang.

Principal Chang waved his hand and motioned for Lin Wei to wait.

Then Principal Chang ate porridge in a few bites, and then took a towel from Wang Shihe's hand and wiped his hands, then stood up and took the thick booklet from Lin Wei's hand, and walked towards the study while flipping through it.

Principal Chang opened the first page, which was the table of contents of the Jianghan Defense Summary, and looked at the total number of pages, there were more than a hundred pages, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.

In President Chang's impression, the battle plans formulated by the General Staff of the National Army are generally only a dozen pages, and the most detailed is the outline of the construction of national defense fortifications presided over by Zhang Zhizhong in the 21st year of the Republic of China, which seems to be only forty or fifty pages, however, the outline of the defense of Jianghan and Han that Zhong Yi has made up is more than 100 pages!

The outline alone is more than 100 pages, how many pages does it take if it is a detailed plan?

Not to mention anything else, just Zhong Yi's attitude is already breathtaking!

It's no wonder that Lin Wei would come up with the idea of leaving Zhong Yi in the attendant room, such a subordinate who works seriously and doesn't cause you trouble, which commander doesn't like it?

It's just a pity that Zhong Yi is not from Whampoa.

Thinking of this, Principal Chang couldn't help but sigh again.

Looking at the contents of the catalogue again, I saw that there were five major items, namely, the general theory, the Hankou defense outline, the Hanyang defense outline, the Wuchang defense outline, and the overall plan for wartime personnel and materials.

In addition to the first major item, there are sub-items under the other three major items.

For example, under the major item of Wuchang Defense Outline, there is also an overview of the Huanghu Mountain Fortress, an overview of Cai Dongshan's artillery position, a guide on the reconstruction of private houses in the city, an overview of the fortifications around the city and the construction of underground fortifications.

Principal Chang glanced at it, his brows couldn't help jumping wildly, and he said to Lin Wei: "Weiran, this is digging tunnels, rebuilding the houses of the three towns of Wuhan, and building three large fortresses, can this manpower and material resources be guaranteed?" ”

It is normal for President Chang to have this worry, when Zhang Zhizhong built the national defense fortifications, the plan he put forward at the beginning was also very grandiose, but after the discussion of the military commissars, the entire plan immediately shrank by more than half, and there was no other reason, that is, because the national government had limited financial resources and could not support too huge a plan!

Now that Zhong Yi proposed this plan, Principal Chang was also a little shocked when he looked at it.

Lin Wei said: "Principal, the catalog is not finished yet, and there is still a big item behind." ”

"Oh?" Principal Chang sighed lightly, turned to the next page, and found that the goal was indeed not finished, but there was only one major item in the table of contents on the second page, and what was written on it was a feasibility report on the outline of Jianghan's defense!

"Hey, this Zhong Ziren, it's really leaky!" Principal Chang shook his head and said, "I actually got the feasibility report of the entire defense outline together!" ”

At the bottom of the feasibility report, there are also three sub-items.

Principal Chang glanced over and found that these three sub-items were financial support, material support and manpower support.

Without any hesitation, President Chang directly turned to the corresponding page of the financial guarantee, and saw that the opening sentence was that the source of funds for the entire fortification was composed of three parts, financial allocation, private fund-raising and self-raising by the Wuhan Garrison Command, and the allocation ratio between the three was three, three, four.

In other words, only 30% of the financial allocation is allocated.

Principal Chang continued to scroll down, and soon found the exact figure of the financial allocation, 50 million legal currency!

If this had been set aside three years ago, when the fiat currency had just been introduced, President Chang would have been taken aback by this number, but now it doesn't matter, because now the central bank has started the money printing machine with all its might, and 50 million fiat currency is just an amount of three or five more days to print.
