Jiang Baili said: "In other words, do you think the intention of the Japanese army is Xuzhou?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Lingfu said, "The intention of the Japanese army is Xuzhou, the reason I have just said, once the Japanese army occupies Xuzhou, the occupied areas of the north and south lines can be connected, and then whether it is stubborn or continue to advance, the Japanese army will take the initiative, but our army will fall into a comprehensive passivity!" ”

Jiang Baili said: "Then do you think the Japanese army's intentions can succeed?" ”

Zhang Lingfu said: "Then it depends on how our army's defense is deployed." ”

Jiang Baili said: "If the Battle of Xuzhou is commanded by you, how will you deploy defense?" ”

Zhang Lingfu said: "The fiasco of the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing has fully proved that a simple decisive battle on the inside line will never have any good results, and if the Battle of Xuzhou does not want to repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Songhu and Nanjing, it is necessary to change the tactics of war, and can no longer simply concentrate troops and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army near Xuzhou City!" ”

Jiang Baili said: "Classmate Zhang Lingfu, do you mean to change the internal decisive battle to the external decisive battle?" ”

"Yes, it must be changed to an outside battle!" Zhang Lingfu said, "Because the area for the decisive battle on the inner line is small, the space for maneuver is limited, and hundreds of thousands of hedgehogs are concentrated within dozens of kilometers, the Japanese army's firepower advantage can be brought into full play, but it is difficult for our army's strength advantage to be brought into play. ”

After a pause, he said: "This is also the main reason for the fiasco of the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Songhu!" ”

Jiang Baili bowed his head slightly, and Zhang Lingfu's analysis was exactly the same as the summary of the General Staff.

If it weren't for the fact that the summary of the General Staff had just come out today, Jiang Baili even doubted that Zhang Lingfu had read this report in advance.

Drawing a circle on the map with the whip, Zhang Lingfu continued: "But if it is changed to a decisive battle on the outside line, the situation will immediately become completely different, first of all, my hundreds of thousands of millions of troops are distributed in an area of several hundred kilometers, and the Japanese army will not be able to easily get the opportunity to gather and annihilate, and the battle situation will not collapse overnight!" ”

All the students nodded subconsciously, the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing were because the troops were too concentrated, and as a result, they were broken through by the Japanese army, which led to the collapse of the whole line!

From this point of view, Zhang Lingfu's deployment is undoubtedly very reliable!

Zhang Lingfu said: "Secondly, our army is fortified everywhere, and the Japanese army will not dare to go deep alone, if it goes deep desperately, it will definitely fall into the encirclement of our army, and in turn be annihilated!" Third, if our army is intercepted layer by layer, the Japanese army will not be able to penetrate quickly! Our army can calmly mobilize troops according to the movements of the Japanese army and make more targeted defensive deployments! ”

After a pause, Zhang Lingfu said in an accentuated tone: "If you fight according to this deployment, by the time the Japanese army advances to the outside of Xuzhou City, it will definitely be the end of the crossbow, and its momentum may not be able to penetrate Lu Minye!" ”

"Wonderful! It's really exciting! After Zhang Lingfu finished speaking, Jiang Baili subconsciously applauded.

Except for Zhong Yi and Sun Liren, almost all the students couldn't help but applaud.

Zhu Liangcheng applauded twice, and when he saw that Zhong Yi did not applaud, he quickly put down his hand.

The applause lasted for more than ten seconds, and it was not until Jiang Baili stretched out his hand and pressed it that it gradually subsided.

Jiang Baili invited Zhang Lingfu back to his seat, and then said: "Zhang Lingfu's tactical analysis just now is very exciting, here, I can also tell you that Zhang Lingfu's defensive deployment is almost the same as the defensive strategy determined by the Command, and the final strategy chosen by the Command is also a decisive battle on the outside line!" ”

Hearing this, the classroom burst into applause again.

Zhang Lingfu looked calm, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

In the applause, Sun Liren leaned over and asked Zhong Yi in a low voice: "Brother Ziren, do you agree with Zhang Lingfu?" ”

Zhong Yi said abruptly: "According to Zhang Lingfu's deployment, although we can avoid Songhu and Nanjing-style defeats, small defeats cannot be avoided, as for winning, it will never be able to win!" ”

Sun Liren nodded lightly and said, "I think so too." ”

Jiang Baili noticed that Zhong Yi and Sun Liren were talking to each other, and immediately pressed his hands to signal the students to be quiet.

When the applause stopped, Jiang Baili asked Zhong Yi directly: "Classmate Zhong Yi, do you have a different opinion?" ”

"Yes, teacher." Zhong Yi got up and replied, "According to Zhang Lingfu's defensive deployment, a big defeat can be avoided, but a small defeat cannot be avoided, and as for winning, it is absolutely impossible to win!" ”

Hearing Zhong Yi's words, the entire classroom fell silent in an instant.

God, the chief of education just said that Zhang Lingfu's defensive deployment is exactly the same as the decision of the command, but now Zhong Yi actually said that Zhang Lingfu's defensive deployment can only avoid a big defeat at most! Isn't this a slap in the face of those high-ranking staff members of the High Command?

Oh no, when Zhong Yi said this, he was not only slapping the face of the senior staff of the Command, but also the face of Liu Sheng, the head of the operations team, Bai Chongbei, the deputy chief of staff, and Li Guangxi, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater of Operations!

Because these big guys must have also been involved in the formulation of tactics!

Zhang Lingfu immediately stood up and said, "The surname is Zhong, you are really a toad yawning, what a big breath!" ”

Jiang Baili motioned for Zhang Lingfu to sit down, then turned his head and asked Zhong Yi, "Classmate Zhong Yi, please tell me your opinion." ”

Zhong Yi glanced at Zhang Lingfu and said, "Since Zhang Lingfu is not convinced, then I will first talk about why his defense deployment is not working!" ”

"You say." Jiang Baili stretched out his hand and said.

Zhong Yi said: "Regarding the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, Zhang Lingfu's analysis is correct, in these two battles, the reason why our army failed miserably was because of the implementation of a one-sided strategy of fighting a decisive battle on the inner line, and the hedgehogs of hundreds of thousands or even 700,000 troops were gathered in an area of less than 20 kilometers, which gave the Japanese army the opportunity to concentrate its forces and give full play to its superior artillery fire!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "However, simply and rudely attributing the failure of the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Songhu to the mistakes of the decisive battle on the inner line, and then thinking that the strategy of the decisive battle on the outer line should be adopted in the Battle of Xuzhou, but because of choking, it has gone from one extreme to the other!" ”

Jiang Baili nodded happily, Zhong Yi's opinion coincided with him.

In fact, Jiang Baili did not agree with the strategy of the external decisive battle formulated by the High Command, and he even found his opinion at the staff meeting held by the High Command, but unfortunately, his opinion was finally rejected!

Zhang Lingfu obviously disagreed, got up and retorted: "Why is this because of choking? ”

Zhong Yi said: "Because the outside decisive battle strategy you advocate also has fatal flaws!" ”

"What? A fatal flaw? Zhang Lingfu said, "What flaw?" That's nonsense! ”
