Why is Falkenhausen angry?

Because he remembered what happened to Songlu in the morning.

President Chang has always attached great importance to the opinions of the German advisory group, and during the Battle of Songhu, he even once let Falkenhausen command the attack on Huishan Wharf, but he did not succeed.

The Battle of Xuzhou was as predicted by Zhong Yi, and finally made a pot of raw rice.

However, the first thing that came to President Chang's mind was not Zhong Yi, but the German consultant Falkenhausen, who immediately sent an attendant adjutant to drive his own special car to Falkenhausen to Tingsonglu.

Principal Chang was actually a little drifting at this time, and felt that the first stage of the Battle of Xuzhou was fought so well, although he failed to completely annihilate the Japanese army in Taierzhuang, he also achieved great results.

So with more effort, there should still be a chance to eat the Japanese army in Yixian!

He Yingpei, Chen Shi and other senior generals were very aware of Principal Chang's temper, so they all agreed.

However, Falkenhausen is a German, too realistic, knowing what President Chang wants to hear, he still insists on his own opinion, thinking that there is little hope for the Japanese army to encircle and annihilate Yixian, and suggests that President Chang give up Xuzhou and seize the time to deploy the next stage of the Battle of Wuhan!

Principal Chang didn't listen, instead of preparing to give up Xuzhou, he transferred more than a dozen troops to the Xuzhou battlefield!

Principal Chang's plan is like this, the Japanese army in Yixian County is surrounded, and the Japanese army in North China and Nanjing will definitely reinforce in a big way, but this is nothing, the newly transferred more than a dozen armies are used to fight and block, so the 300,000 troops in the original Fifth War Zone can still besiege the Japanese army in Yixian without distraction!

Principal Chang wants to fight a war of annihilation so much!

China also needs a war of annihilation too much!

That's why Principal Chang is so insistent!

But Falkenhausen has a stubborn personality and shouts in public, which makes Principal Chang very faceless, and Falkenhausen also feels that his ability has been questioned, and the two sides break up unhappily!

Therefore, as soon as Sun Liren mentioned the stubble of Yi County, Falkenhausen became angry.

"Too greedy!" Falkenhausen said angrily, "You Chinese are too greedy! If you don't have the corresponding ability, but you have to do things beyond your ability, you can only reap the rewards in the end! Reality will educate you! ”

At this time, the topic finally led to the direction Zhong Yi wanted, and then Zhong Yi got up and said: "I completely agree with General Falkenhausen's judgment, the fighters of the Japanese army encircling and annihilating Yixian have been completely lost, and the battle of Yixian was forcibly launched, and in the end hundreds of thousands of troops in the Fifth War Zone could only be put in danger!" ”

After listening to the translation, Falkenhausen nodded happily and said, "Finally, there is still a sober one!" ”

Zhong Yi continued: "General Falkenhausen, although we do not approve of it, but the fifth battle to launch the battle of Yixian is already unstoppable, and it is pointless to discuss this now, so we might as well discuss, if the battle of Yixian does not go well, and the Japanese troops in North China and Nanjing rush to reinforcements, what should our army do?" ”

This question directly scratched the itch of Falkenhausen, because he was already thinking about this question solemnly after leaving Tingsonglu.

At the moment, Falkenhausen said: "I think that at this time, the first thing is to stop the pursuit of the Japanese army, and we must not let the tragedy of the Battle of Songhu repeat!" ”

Zhong Yixin said that he was here!

In the original historical time and space, it was Falkenhausen who thought of a desperate plan to stop the Japanese pursuit, and Principal Chang really adopted Falkenhausen's suggestion!

This desperate plan is to dig the embankment of the Yellow River and use the surging flood to block the pursuit of the Japanese army!

And now, all Zhong Yi has to do is to put forward an opinion that is diametrically opposed to Falkenhausen, and he must find a way to make this opinion enter the field of vision of the headquarters and even President Chang himself!

Falkenhausen continued: "The reason why the final stage of the Battle of Songhu was a crushing defeat was because the retreat was too hasty, and there were no troops left to block the attack!" According to the current situation, the final result of the Battle of Xuzhou is not much better, and most of them will retreat in a hurry in the end! ”

"But the good thing!" After a pause at this point, Falkenhausen picked up the whip again and pointed to the map, and then continued, "Xuzhou is not Shanghai after all, although there are national defense fortifications between Shanghai and Nanjing, but if there are no troops stationed there, no matter how strong the national defense fortifications are, they can only be decorations, but there is a Yellow River to the north of Xuzhou!" ”

"The Yellow River? What do you mean? "The whole class was confused.

Only Zhong Yi knew what Falkenhausen meant, and asked awe-inspiringly, "You mean digging up the Yellow River?" ”

"That's right, dig up the Yellow River!" Falkenhausen said proudly, "As long as the Yellow River embankment is dug and the surging flood pours down, all the roads and railways near Xuzhou will be flooded, and the Japanese army will not be able to move an inch, and the main force of the national army gathered on the battlefield in Xuzhou will be able to retreat calmly, and the tragedy of the Battle of Songhu will not be repeated!" ”

Hearing this, the students in the class immediately gasped.

Zhong Yi said even more sharply: "General Falkenhausen, do you know what it means to the 30 million Chinese people in the lower reaches of the Huanghuai River once the Yellow River bursts? ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "If you don't know, then I tell you now, once the Yellow River bursts, millions of people will be drowned directly, and more than 10 million people will be homeless and displaced overnight, and after the Yellow River bursts, a huge flooding area will be formed, and a protracted geological disaster will be further formed, and in the next few years, it is likely that there will be extreme drought, extreme waterlogging, and even locust plagues!" In the end, it is likely that as many as 30 million people will be harmed! ”

"There's no way around it." Falkenhausen shrugged and said, "War has to be sacrificed in the end." ”

"You're talking lightly, if you were to sacrifice 30 million Germans, would you be willing?" Zhong Yi said angrily.

"You're using strong words!" Falkenhausen's face sank when he heard this, the whole of Germany has a population of 70 million, and if he sacrifices 30 million at once, won't the Germanic nation be wiped out?

"It's you who are the one who is making the point, Mr. Falkenhausen!" Zhong Yi said coldly, "What's more, even if the Yellow River is not dug up, there is a way to stop the Japanese army from pursuing, and the tragedy of the Battle of Songhu will not be repeated in Xuzhou!" ”

"Oh, really?" Falkenhausen said coldly, "What can you do?" ”

Zhong Yi strode to the stage, took the whip and pointed to the map and said: "In the Xuzhou battlefield, in addition to the Yellow River in the north and Dabie Mountain in the south, the main force of the Fifth War Zone can retreat from Dabie Mountain!" The Japanese mechanized troops are difficult to deploy in the mountains, and our army can get rid of them very easily! ”

Falkenhausen said abruptly: "Classmate Zhong Yi, I praised you just now for being an understanding person, but now it seems that you are no different from other students, and your eyes can only see a little distance in front of you!" ”
