"Indeed!" Zhu Liang said, "Chief Bai is a little inflated!" ”

"Bai Chongbei is not inflated, but his eyes are hot!" Zhong Yi said, "He didn't succeed in the battle of Xiaogan-Yunwu Mountain, so he held back his strength and wanted to fight a big victory that really belonged to him!" But I don't know that with the pitiful combat effectiveness of the national army at this time, not to mention a full-scale counteroffensive, it is very reluctant to eat the two divisions that entered Dabie Mountain! ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "What's even more worrying is that these two divisions of the Japanese army entered Dabie Mountain at this time, obviously with a deeper intention, not just to rescue Higashikure Palace Twisthiko!" ”

"Deeper intentions?" Zhu Liangcheng said awe-inspiringly: "What other intentions can there be?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "Although the Japanese army suffered a great defeat in the Battle of Wuhan, and even the Second Army was completely annihilated by us, it would be naïve to think that Japan's national strength has been exhausted and it is no longer able to organize a larger-scale attack!" ”

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Ziren, do you mean that little Japan's national strength has not been exhausted, and there is still potential to be tapped? ”

"Of course!" Zhong Yi said, "Little Japan's gross national income last year was about 30 billion yen, and its military expenditure was about 4 billion yen, that is to say, little Japan's military expenditure only accounted for more than 10 percent of its gross national income, less than 20 percent, but when necessary, a country's military expenditure can even reach 50 percent or even 70 percent of the total national income, so little Japan's national strength is far from exhausting, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped!" ”

What Zhong Yi said is not a nonsense, but a factual basis!

In fact, in another time and space, little Japan did not deplete its national strength until 1945, and it still had the potential to fight a general decisive battle with the US troops that were about to land, and even mobilized and organized more than 7 million army forces for this purpose!

If it weren't for the two atomic bombs, I really don't know how much it would have cost to land on the Japanese mainland!

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Therefore, although Little Japan suffered a big defeat in the Battle of Wuhan, they will definitely not stop there, and in the future, they will definitely mobilize more troops to launch a larger-scale attack on Wuhan!" At this time, the most important thing to do is to quickly deploy defense, but our Chief Bai is still gearing up and preparing for a counterattack! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Liangcheng's face was no longer good-looking.

Zhong Yi continued: "If I am not wrong, the Japanese army's attack should be fishing, and the two divisions that rushed into the Dabie Mountains are fishing bait, once our army bites the hook, the Japanese army will use these two divisions to contain the main force of our Dabie Mountain Theater, and then, the troops are divided into two routes, respectively, along the Yangtze River, Pinghan Railway to Wuhan quickly interspersed, at this time our main elite are all in the Dabie Mountains, the Yangtze River and the Pinghan Railway are only a small number of troops left, It is simply impossible to withstand the fierce assault of the Japanese heavy army group! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Liangcheng's face had already become very ugly.

Zhong Yi continued: "Once the two heavy army groups of the Japanese army meet in Wuhan, then the heavy army groups of our army gathered in the Dabie Mountains will fall into the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army!" The tragedy that was not staged in the Battle of Xuzhou will be staged in the Second Battle of Wuhan, and the elite main force of the national army will be completely annihilated! ”

"No way!" Hearing this, Zhu Liangcheng almost jumped up, "Ziren, you must immediately report your judgment to the Theater Commander's Department, no, directly to the Chongqing Command!" ”

"Escalation is definitely going to be escalated! Lao Zhu, you send a report to Macheng immediately! Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "However, I'm afraid it's not enough to just send a report, I still have to go to Macheng in person and have a good talk with our Chief Bai!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng said, "It just so happens that Chief Bai is also looking for you." ”

……

In Macheng, the headquarters of the war zone governor.

Bai Chongbei directly requisitioned the Macheng County Office, which would have been settled.

It took only one afternoon for more than a dozen operational staff officers from Guangxi to be brought from the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Commander to erect a huge sand table in the war room.

The sand table shows the topography of Dabie Mountain.

At this moment, Bai Chongbei stood in front of the sand table with his hands behind his back, with a hesitant face.

Judging from the sand table, we can clearly see the situation map of the Chinese and Japanese armies in the mountains.

The 22nd and 27th Divisions of the Japanese Army have been fully deployed on the line from Guifeng Mountain, Bodao Peak, Tiantianzhai to Baimajian.

Looking at the sand table, the corners of Bai Chongbei's mouth hooked up an imperceptible smile, and said: "Judging from the deployment of the Japanese army, it is obvious that the confidence is insufficient!" ”

"Not really." Li Pinxian said, "Little Japan has put up such a long snake formation between Guifeng Mountain, Bodao Peak, Heaven Village and Baimajian, and it is the idea of fortification and resistance at all levels!" In this way, the little Japanese side also has the ability, and they have already seen that we are going to counterattack, so they have taken precautions in advance! ”

"But can this be prevented?" Luo Zhengying said, "There is more than one road in Dabie Mountain!" The devils have laid down heavy troops on the line of Guifeng Mountain, Bodao Peak, and Heaven Village until Baimajian, we can take a detour from other paths, and then turn around to give the little devils a siege, and then see what else they can do? ”

At this moment, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked in.

"Commander-in-Chief!" The communications staff officer reported, "Rong 1st Division's Special Operations Brigade is in an emergency!" ”

"Rong 1st Division Special Operations Brigade?" Bai Chong said happily, "It must be Ziren's telegram!" ”

After speaking, Bai Chongbei took two steps forward and couldn't wait to take the telegram from the hands of the communications staff officer.

However, after just one glance, Bai Chongbei's face fell, and after a while, it became even more gloomy.

Li Pinxian and Luo Zhengying, who were standing next to them, immediately clicked, and at the same time wondered, it couldn't be Zhong Yi's accident, right? From Bai Chongbei's expression, they could only think of this layer.

At that moment, Li Pinxian whispered: "Gong Jian, Director Zhong had an accident?" ”

"See for yourself." Bai Chongbei breathed a sigh of relief and handed the telegram to Li Pinxian.

After reading the telegram, Li Pinxian was not as angry as Bai Chongbei, but his expression was a little strange.

Luo Zhengying couldn't help but ask, "Brother Heling, what did you say on the telegram?" ”

"Our Director Zhong, we demand that all troops in the theater immediately stop marching towards the Dabie Mountains!" Li Pinxian handed the telegram to Luo Zhengying as he spoke, "It also said that the 22nd and 27th Divisions of the Japanese Army entered the Dabie Mountains to fish, and if we launched a counteroffensive in the Dabie Mountain Theater, it would be in the hands of the devils!" ”

"And this?" Luo Zhengying took the telegram and hurriedly read it, and immediately showed a look on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

It's fun now, the chief of staff, who is so valued by Chief Bai, raised objections before he took office, I don't know what Chief Bai will do?
