Macheng, the confinement room of the Theater Commander's Department.

Seeing a large group of major generals pressing over, the guards guarding the confinement room were a little numb.

However, the duty was to take a step forward to block the way, and shouted: "Stop! This is a confinement room, and all idle people are exempted! ”

"Shut up!" Zhang Lingfu slapped the guard on the back of the head, "Go on the edge!" ”

The guard was furious, but he didn't dare to show the slightest expression on his face, and retreated to the side with a pout.

Zhang Lingfu snorted lightly, turned around and waved to Sun Liren, Zhu Liangcheng, Qiu Weida, Hu Lian, Xia Ming, Li Mi, Shi Zude, Liu Yuanlin, Chen Jingan, Liu Futing, Pan Zihe, Zhou Mengxiong, Zhang Buwu and others behind him, and then walked straight to the confinement room where Zhong Yi was being held.

"Ziren? Sub-tenacity? Zhang Lingfu walked to the confinement room and knocked on the door.

"Zhong Lin? What are you doing here? Zhong Yi's voice came from inside, "Aren't you afraid that Chief Bai will punish you?" ”

"I'm afraid he's a bird." Zhang Lingfu sighed and said, "It's not just me, they're all here!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Lingfu stepped aside, and Sun Liren, Zhu Liangcheng and others all stepped forward to greet Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi, who was squatting in the small black room, was immediately happy, good guy, half of the squad of the Luojiashan Officer Training Corps is here, this movement is big enough!

Sun Liren took out a box of cigarettes from the front door and stuffed it through the gap under the door panel: "This is specially bought for you, everyone is afraid that you will go crazy inside, so you smoke to relieve your boredom." ”

Those who have never been locked up have no idea how boring and terrible the confinement room is.

So, if you can have a box of cigarettes, it will be a blessing for those who are locked up.

Of course, this is definitely a violation of discipline, but the guards didn't dare to stop it at all, this large group of more than a dozen major generals, hula la, who can stand it?

But soon, the cigarette case was pushed out again.

"I don't need to!" Zhong Yi said, "I don't smoke. ”

Sun Liren shook his head and said, "I said Ziren, why are you suffering?" ”

Of course, Sun Liren was not referring to Zhong Yi's refusal to smoke, but his battlefield disobedience.

Zhang Lingfu also nodded and said: "Ziren, like you, I am not optimistic that the battle of Dabie Mountain can be won, but soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, since you are the chief of staff, you should assist Chief Bai in drawing up a battle plan, so that our army can reduce losses as much as possible, and also increase our chances of victory as much as possible." ”

Zhong Yi said: "Zhong Lin and Fumin, are you here to be a lobbyist for Chief Bai?" ”

"Lobbyist?" Zhang Lingfu shook his head and said, "I want to, but it's a pity that people are not rare." ”

Zhong Yi sighed and said, "To be honest, it's not like I haven't thought of drawing up a plan according to Chief Bai's intentions, even if I can't win, I have to reduce my losses as much as possible!" ”

"That's right." Sun Lidao, "This is what we should do!" ”

"But, I can't!" Zhong Yi sighed, "I know that this is a trap, but I still have to push the elite of the 600,000 national army with my own hands, what is the difference between this and murder?" It's a crime! ”

Liu Yuanlin said: "Ziren, is there really any chance of winning this battle?" ”

Zhong Yi sighed: "If there is even the slightest chance of winning, I will not make such a decision!" ”

"Ziren, this doesn't look like your style!" Shi Zude frowned and said, "Before, no matter in Jinshanwei, Nanjing or Wuhan, no matter how sinister the situation was, you would never give up easily!" But this time, how can you say that our army is defeated without even trying, as if you have changed people? ”

Chen Jingan and Liu Futing nodded subconsciously.

The five of them followed Zhong Yi to participate in the Battle of Nanjing, and the dangerous situation in Nanjing made Zhong Yi come over, even if the current situation in Dabie Mountain is not good, but it is not worse than Nanjing, right? Why did Zhong Yi have the courage and ability to turn the tide when he was in Nanjing, but now, he can't?

"It's different, it's different!" Zhong Yi said, "The battle of Jinshanwei is because the little devil underestimated the enemy, and since this is the case, it only dragged on for two days!" In the end, it was lost! ”

After a slight pause, he said: "As for Nanjing, as well as the Battle of Wuhan, haven't you found that there is a common denominator between the two battles?" ”

Zhang Lingfu said in a deep voice: "The Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army has been exhausted after months of fighting, and the weapons and ammunition have also been seriously consumed!" ”

"It's worthy of Zhong Lin, in a word!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "The reason why the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Wuhan were able to achieve good results is not because of how powerful we are, but entirely because the Japanese army's combat effectiveness has been seriously weakened after a long period of continuous fighting!" ”

"If it weren't for this, the 100,000 defeated soldiers in Nanjing would want to break through?"

"If it weren't for this, would you want to win the battle of Wuhan? Dream on! ”

"Whether you admit it or not, it is an indisputable fact that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is far superior to that of our army!"

"Under normal circumstances, our army has a five-to-one superiority in strength, and there is no chance of victory!"

"Is there still a small number of cases in which our army occupies a tenfold or even twenty-fold superiority in strength, but is it defeated by the Japanese army? Why do you pretend you can't see it? ”

More than a dozen major generals outside the confinement room, Zhong Yi, were speechless.

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Therefore, if our army wants to defeat the Japanese army, or cause attrition to the Japanese army, there are only two ways, one is to defend the city and fight street battles with the little devils!" Then it is to take advantage of the continuous combat and exhaustion of the little devils, gather superior forces, and beat them to death with a stick! ”

Zhang Lingfu said awe-inspiringly: "Think about it carefully, since the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the several victories that our army has achieved seem to be like this, without exception!" ”

Wanjialing is so victorious!

Taierzhuang's victory is so!

Xiaogan-Yunwu Mountain victory is still the same!

Zhong Yi said again: "Look at the battle of Dabie Mountain again, which of these two is satisfied?" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "The 22nd and 27th divisions of the Japanese army did not participate in the previous battle at all, there is no such thing as fatigue, and what is worse is that our army is still attacking, but the Japanese army has occupied the dangerous place of Dabie Mountain in advance, repaired the fortifications and waited for us to attack!" ”

After another pause, Zhong Yi said again: "If it is only the 22nd and 27th divisions, it is nothing more than a defeat and the loss of tens of thousands of troops, but the fatal thing is that there is still Okamura Ningji's 11th Army on the Jiujiang and Ruichang lines, and there will definitely be reinforcements from devils on the northern front!" ”

Zhang Lingfu, Sun Liren and others were silent.

"So, we're going to keep the back!" Zhong Yi sighed lightly and said, "The new 38th Division, which is resting in Wuhan, and the eight honorary divisions that have been expanded, don't rush to return to the building, stay in Hankou honestly, and when necessary, go north to Xiaogan and keep the westward retreat channel of more than 600,000 elites in the Dabie Mountain Theater!" ”
