"Is this necessary?" Li Pinxian said, "Can't wait for three days?" ”

Sun Lianzhong also echoed: "Yes, Sun Liren's former enemy headquarters has nine divisions under its jurisdiction, 100,000 small horses, and all of them are the elite of the last life in the defense of Wuhan, it shouldn't be a problem to hold Xiaogan for ten days, right?" ”

Tang Enbo was even more excessive, and said with compassion: "Director Zhong did this to reduce the casualties of Xiaogan's former finger?" ”

"You can't sacrifice us, can you?" Li Pinxian said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the officers and soldiers that Xiaogan pointed to before are lives, and the lives of the more than 600,000 officers and soldiers here are not lives?" ”

Hu Zongnan and Yu Jishi didn't say much.

Because four of the nine divisions under Xiaogan's former command had already been incorporated into the troops of the two of them, they did not want the troops under Xiaogan's former command to suffer too many casualties.

But Li Pinxian, Sun Lianzhong and Tang Enbo obviously don't think so.

They would rather hold on to Xiaogan's front finger for a few more days, and it will be easier here.

This is the national army, the national army with many small hills, if the total casualty figure is fixed, they all hope that the casualties on their own hill can be smaller, and the other mountains can be larger.

Zhong Yi's face immediately fell, these military leaders only thought of letting Xiaogan's front finger last a few more days, and the losses on their side would be smaller, but they didn't expect that once they played too much, once Xiaogan's front finger couldn't withstand the onslaught of the Japanese army, all the main forces of the more than 600,000 national troops here would have to be finished!

There are no eggs under the nest, they just can't figure this out!

And this is one of the reasons why the national army was defeated in the later liberation war!

But Zhong Yi knew better that it was useless to reason with these military leaders, so he could only turn his head and look at Bai Chongbei!

Bai Chongbei was also a little hesitant, from his personal feelings, of course he still hoped that the Gui army would have fewer casualties, but on the other hand, he saw farther than Li Pinxian after all, and knew that once Xiaogan failed to resist the onslaught of the Japanese army, he would have to finish the game with more than 600,000 main forces on their side.

At that moment, Bai Chongbei asked: "Ziren, you give me a solid foundation, how many days can Xiaogan last?" ”

"Honestly, I can't tell!" Zhong Yi said, "Maybe half a month, maybe ten days, maybe three days will be lost, there are too many factors that determine the outcome of the war, I am not on the front line of Xiaogan, I dare not make an assertion easily!" ”

"Director Zhong, this can't be done, right?" Tang Enbo said in a strange manner, "The ten brigades of the Wuhan Garrison Command have been guarding Wuhan for more than three months, and now Sun Liren's nine divisions are the old foundations of the ten brigades of the Wuhan Garrison Command, and even with more combat experience, can they still hold Xiaogan for ten days?" ”

"Captain Tang, you can't say that." Zhong Yi said coldly, "Defending Wuhan is a street battle, if you fight a street battle, the nine divisions that Xiaogan pointed out in front of you can hold out for at least a few months even if they face ten divisions of the Japanese army!" But the problem is that now Xiaogan's former finger is not fighting with the Japanese army in a street battle, but a field battle, a positional war! ”

"That's not right, is it?" Li Pinxian said, "Xiaogan is also a county seat, why can't you fight street battles?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "Xiaogan is only a small county town, and it can't fit nine divisions at all, not to mention, the Pinghan Railway and Highway have not passed through Xiaogan County, and the Japanese army does not need to capture the county seat, so they can go south to Wuhan directly!" Because of this, the nine divisions that Xiaogan pointed out before must not shrink into the city, but must be deployed outside the city to fight a field battle with the Japanese army going south. ”

Sun Lianzhong frowned and said, "Even if it's a field battle, it won't be able to hold it for ten days, right?" ”

"Commander-in-Chief Sun." Zhong Yi's eyes fell on Sun Lianzhong's face, and he said sincerely, "You fought a tough battle with the little devil on the battlefield in Xuzhou, you know how difficult the little devil is in the field, you ask yourself, if you change to the Second Army, can you withstand the onslaught of the Japanese army and hold Xiaogan for a few days?" ”

When Sun Lianzhong heard this, he immediately fell silent.

Hearing this, Bai Chongbei no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Pass my order, all corps, all group armies, and all corps in the theater immediately launch an attack on Changhe Bay!" There must not be a moment's delay! ”

"Yes!" Luo Zhengying agreed, and motioned to the staff officer behind him to give the order.

Seeing the figure of the staff officer leaving, Bai Chongbei asked Zhong Yi again: "Ziren, if you launch an attack now, you estimate that it will take a few days to annihilate the two divisions of the Japanese army?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "If you launch a general offensive at any cost, you can at least two days in advance!" ”

"Two days?" Bai Chongbei said, "You mean, you can end the battle in two days?" ”

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "As long as all the units participating in the war can work together and spare their lives, it is still possible to annihilate the 22nd and 27th divisions of the Japanese army in two days and nights!" ”

Bai Chongbei's face changed again and again, and finally shouted: "Pass my order, all corps, all group armies, and all corps in the theater immediately launch a general attack on the Japanese army in Changhe Bay. ”

……

Changhe Bay, the temporary headquarters of the 18th Army.

Deputy Army Commander Chen Pei quickly walked into the headquarters and said to Army Commander Peng Shan: "Military seat, the commander's department is urgent!" ”

"Is there something like the one surnamed Zhong?" Peng Shan said angrily, "Do you want to deprive us of command again?" ”

Because the commander's department directly issued the combat order to the regimental level, which made him, the army commander, become an ornament, so Peng Shan's heart was full of fire, and it was not until the two divisions of the Japanese army were trapped that the commander's department returned the command of each department.

"Throne, it's not what you think." Chen Pei hurriedly said, "It's the general attack order issued by the commander's department!" ”

"What? Total attack? Peng Shan said, "It's not a good time to attack at this time, after a day or two, isn't it good to attack after the devil's medicine and drinking water are exhausted?" ”

What is the situation of the Japanese army trapped in Changhe Bay, Commander Peng Shan, who is on the front line, is very clear.

Now don't say it's the devils in Changhe Bay, it's their Eighteenth Army, and drinking water has become a problem.

In this case, as long as the siege lasts for two to three days, the devils in Changhe Bay will lose their combat effectiveness.

Chen Pei whispered: "Maybe something happened to Xiaogan or Huang An, time doesn't allow it." ”

"I knew it, I knew it." Peng Shan snorted and said, "It's always the key moment to drop the chain!" ”

Chen Pei glanced at the outside of the grass hut and whispered, "Military seat, should we wait first and see if the Second Army and the Eleventh Army obey the orders of the people?" ”

"No, we can't wait." Peng Shan said, "Order, the 11th Division, the 18th Division, and the 199th Division immediately enter the right flank of Changhe Bay to extinguish the fire, and when the fire is small, they will immediately launch a general attack!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Pei responded with a bang.
