"Ahh Xue Yue held his forehead with his hand, "Half a step late!" ”

When he said this, Xue Yue's chagrin was overflowing.

Seriously, Xue Yue has really coveted this tank battalion in the Wuhan Garrison for a long time!

This has to start with the Hanyang counterattack more than a month ago, in that battle, Zhong Yi used the tank battalion to take the lead in the main attack, and completely annihilated the Japanese 3rd Division in one fell swoop, which really shocked Xue Yue's jaw.

Since then, Xue Yue has been thinking about this tank battalion.

It's a pity that Du Yuming, this kid, took the lead!

But then again, Zhong Yi's tank battalion was originally the 200th Division.

At that moment, Xue Yue could only retreat, and continued: "How about it, are you interested in coming to my side?" ”

Okay, Xue Yue is purely fighting snakes and sticks, borrowing artillery and tanks, and the tank didn't borrow it, so he directly hit Zhong Yi with the idea.

Zhong Yi asked with a smile: "Does Commander-in-Chief Xue mean the First Corps, the Ninth Theater or the former enemy headquarters of the Xiaogan Campaign?" ”

"One meaning." Xue Yue said, "The First Corps is the Ninth War Zone, and the Ninth War Zone is the former enemy headquarters of Xiaogan. ”

"Doesn't seem like there's a place for me? You can't let me be Zhong Lin's chief of staff, right? Zhong Yi said, "Could it be that Commander-in-Chief Xue means to be a brigade commander for me?" ”

"It's too condescending for you to be the brigade commander." Xue Yue said, "When the teacher is a teacher, he is bent." ”

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Then I can only take Zhong Lin's position and be the director of the General Staff." ”

"Yes, I think you are more suitable for this position than Zhong Lin." Xue Yue said, "Because you are a handsome talent, and Zhong Lin is only a general at best, if you are willing to come, I am ready to let Zhong Lin go back to the 51st Division to take Wang Yaowu's place!" Zhong Lin also told me that he prefers to lead troops on the front line. ”

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Commander-in-Chief Xue, in fact, I also prefer to lead troops on the front line. ”

Although Zhong Yi always kept smiling and did not explicitly refuse, from Zhong Yi's words and deeds, Xue Yue still felt an undisguised alienation.

At that moment, Xue Yue said with disappointment: "It seems that you are unwilling. ”

"Let Commander-in-Chief Xue smile." Zhong Yi did not admit it, nor did he deny it.

But Xue Yue's feeling was still quite accurate, and Zhong Yi really didn't want to get too close to Xue Yue.

As for the reason, it is not complicated, because Xue Yue is too ruthless to both the enemy and his subordinates, and it can even be said that he is not close to people, and he can't do well when he does things under him.

Of course, Zhong Yi still recognized Xue Yue's achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

"Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, so I won't force you." Xue Yue nodded, and said, "When you leave, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Zhong Yi restrained his smile, and the expression on his face slowly became solemn.

Xue Yue continued: "Anyway, you have been fighting against Dongjiu Gong Tsuhiko in Wuhan for two whole months, and when it comes to your familiarity with Dong Jiu Gong Tsuhiko and the Second Army of the Devils, I am afraid that there is no second person in China who can compare to you, so I want to listen to your advice!" ”

Zhong Yi said solemnly: "Commander-in-Chief Xue really wants to hear it? ”

"I really want to hear it!" Xue Yue said in a deep voice, "You just say it. ”

"Okay, then I'll have something to say." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "Now can be said to be the weakest time for the Second Army of the East Kyuru Palace, because the infantry of the four divisions of the Second Army were killed and wounded in a large number of battles in the Hankou and Hanyang battlefields, and the rest are basically engineers, baggage soldiers, cavalry and artillery. ”

"But it won't last long."

"In about a week, the first batch of the Second Army's lightly wounded will be returned to the team, and the number of these wounded will not be small, at least 20,000!"

Xue Yue's expression suddenly froze when he heard this.

20,000 veterans who have returned from injury, this is a force to be reckoned with!

Zhong Yi said again: "My judgment, when the 20,000 devils return from injury, the fighters will be completely lost, and there will be no need to continue the Xiaogan Campaign!" ”

It's not that Zhong Yi underestimated the main force of the Fifth War Zone!

To put it bluntly, defensive operations are completely different from offensive operations!

If the Second Army of the East Kureko Palace is allowed to slow down, not to mention the more than 400,000 people in the Fifth War Zone, even if you add the more than 300,000 people in the Ninth War Zone now, it will be useless!

Attacking tough battles is not something that can be done with a large number of people!

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Because after the 20,000 more elite infantry who have returned from injury, the Second Army can hold out for at least ten more days, at that time, not to mention the 15th Division of the Japanese Army that is moving south along the Pinghan Line, I am afraid that even the reinforcements from the Japanese mainland have already arrived at the Xiaogan battlefield!" ”

"I see!" Xue Yue said, "In other words, we only have seven days!" ”

"Yes, you only have seven days!" Zhong Yi said solemnly, "So I hope that Commander-in-Chief Xue will not be disturbed by any external factors, and will do his best to annihilate the second army of the East Kureru Palace within seven days!" ”

"No outside interference?" Xue Yue nodded, and asked again, "So, Brother Ziren, if I do what you say, will we have a chance to annihilate the second army of the Higashikure Palace within seven days?" ”

If it were someone else, Xue Yue would never ask this question, wouldn't it seem that he was incompetent?

But in the face of Zhong Yi, Xue Yue really didn't dare to take it, because he really admired Zhong Yi's ability!

Xue Yue has always been proud, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter his eyes, but in front of Zhong Yi, he is really not arrogant, because Zhong Yi can easily kill him Xue Yue in seconds if he casually takes out a battle.

So this time, Xue Yue really sincerely asked Zhong Yi for advice.

Zhong Yi also felt Xue Yue's sincerity, and said solemnly: "If you fight well, there will be at least a seventy percent chance!" ”

"At least seventy percent?" Xue Yue's expression perked up suddenly, seventy percent chance, such a chance is already very high! At that moment, he said to Zhong Yi, "Thank you, brother, then let's leave it at that!" ”

"Commander-in-Chief Xue take care." Zhong Yi raised his right hand and saluted.

Xue Yue returned the military salute, and then called Zhang Lingfu to leave together.

Seeing Xue Yue and Zhang Lingfu leave, Feng Yuxiang came over and said, "Brother Ziren, what do you think?" took the initiative to call the headquarters to say that he was sick, and it was enough to give the commander-in-chief of the Xiaogan siege and annihilation battle to Xue Laohu, and now he lent out the only 33 intact 105mm caliber howitzers, what is this for? ”

Zhong Yi was silent, this Feng Yuxiang was still a warlord in his bones.

Standardism has been integrated into Feng Yuxiang's bones, in his eyes, his own vital interests are always the first, and the national interests are second! It's no wonder that on the premise of knowing that China is already very weak, he still fought the Central Plains War with President Chang, and stabbed the weakened motherland again!
