Bai Chongxi's words suddenly ushered in a voice of approval, and the chairman couldn't help but nod his head again and again, casting an approving glance at him.

But Jiang Haoran was so angry that he scolded his mother in his heart, the whole nation was tormented in dire straits, and the dominant role in their hearts was to eliminate dissidents, or to fight in the nest, there was simply no national feelings, no discipline, and it was extremely shameless.

Of course, it was impossible for him to say these words here, his heart was agitated, but on the surface, he was not shocked, he got up from his seat, slowly swept the audience, and finally his eyes fell on Bai Chongxi, and everyone focused their eyes on him, and suddenly smiled miserably, Shi Potian said: "Deputy Chief Executive, your opinion is indeed far-sighted, but do you know that you are ignoring the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of my expeditionary force!" ”

Bai Chongxi was stunned and exclaimed: "Brother Ziqian, where did you start with this?" ”

Jiang Haoran said: "Now in the Southeast Asian battlefield, the Japanese army invested 500,000 troops, including as many as 200,000 in the Burma battlefield, although the early stage and our expeditionary force several encounters slightly damaged, but basically negligible, according to reliable information, after the armistice, the Japanese army urgently transferred four divisions from Central China, North China, Northeast China to Burma, Burma's troops have exceeded the original 200,000, and they are all veterans who have experienced the war, on the other hand, our expeditionary force, how hard Burma fought, how many casualties, everyone should understand, Less than half of the 150,000 people remained, and although more than 20,000 veterans were replenished from our Hurricane Column, there were still nearly 50,000 recruits who had not yet touched a gun and had not been trained, so it was less than 150,000. Once the rainy season passes, an unprecedented war is about to start, and the Yunnan-Burma highway has not yet been opened, and the follow-up troops cannot be sustained. But the Japanese army is different, as long as there are troops to be adjusted, they can be transported by sea, and the supply of troops and material resources will continue to go to Burma. In contrast, even if the soldiers of my expeditionary force fought bloodily, do you think we have a chance of winning? So, you should understand why I want to recover Wuhan at this time, right? ”

A room full of people suddenly had solemn expressions, Jiang Haoran's words are not difficult to understand, once the Japanese army stabilizes the situation in the Chinese battlefield, it can draw a large number of troops into the Burma battlefield, and now the frontal battlefield has basically ceased fire, the Japanese army has put all its energy on the security and rectification of the occupied area, and the only Yan'an troops that contain the Japanese army behind the enemy line are basically consumed, and Northeast and North China will soon be operated by the Japanese army into an iron plate, once the last resistance force is also eliminated, the Japanese army can control the situation with only a million puppet troops, It is not a problem to transfer hundreds of thousands of elites, so the situation of the expeditionary force is really worrying.

But Bai Chongxi was still a little unwilling, and defended: "I don't think it's as serious as you said, hasn't the 41st Army been transported to Imphal and started training?" Or one regiment a day by air to Imphal, and in time they will become the strongest backing of the expeditionary force. ”

As early as a month ago, the newly formed 41 st Group Army began to airlift India to prepare for the entire United States, and set up recruit training camps in Ramgarh and Imphal in India to receive training from officers of the Chinese army; according to the plan, at least half of the 300,000 recruits will arrive in India before the end of the rainy season in Burma.

Of course, Jiang Haoran knew this, but Bai Chongxi's words only ushered in a sneer from him, which made Bai Chongxi blush, and he felt that his words were a little untenable, it was obvious that a group of recruits could not form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and such a backing was actually not much different from not.

Therefore, he immediately changed another set of rhetoric and covered it up: "I think that we will not fight Wuhan at the moment, but the Japanese army also knows that since Nanchang was recovered, Wuhan has been on the verge of danger, and it may be surrounded by our Fifth Theater, Ninth Theater, and 40th Group Army at any time, especially the 40th Group Army will raid Huangshan and cut off the Yangtze River waterway, and there will even be a danger of being eaten. Therefore, no matter how rampant the Japanese army is, they do not dare to withdraw the troops of the rear line, after all, they have invested 500,000 and four divisions in the Burma battlefield, and these troops are all drawn from the Chinese battlefield, which is close to the bottom line of the Japanese army. ”

Bai Chongxi's words seemed to make some sense, and many people in the command headquarters nodded in agreement, but Jiang Haoran didn't think so.

"Do you think Wuhan is still the meat of our mouths right now? Joke! Jiang Haoran said without looking back, kicked away the chair behind him, and then walked to the giant combat map behind the rostrum.

Jiang Haoran waved the command pole, the tip of the pole fell on the Yellow Mountain, and said: "Half a year ago, if we took the Yellow Mountain, the army advanced to the Yangtze River, and then occupied Chizhou and Pengze, and controlled the entire Yangtze River waterway, the Japanese Eleventh Army in Wuhan really had to panic, because their main logistics channel would be cut off by us, but is this still the case?" ”

Jiang Haoran said and jumped the command pole to Beiping, and drew it along a railway line, and said: "From here, to Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Zhumadian, Xinyang, Hankou, this railway line is called Pinghan Railway, strategic significance I don't need to say that everyone knows, half a year ago, the troops of our army's first theater have been deployed in Anhui and Henan, and the Eighth Route Army has also been active along the line, Pinghan Railway, which is no less than a lifeline for the Japanese army in Wuhan, has never passed smoothly in the real sense. This is also the fundamental reason why the Japanese army went to great lengths to fight Nanchang and Yueyang in order to ensure the safety of Wuhan. But I heard that now the troops of the first theater have crossed the Yellow River, withdrawn to the territory of Shaanxi, and entered the safe rear, and the Eighth Route Army along the line has also been surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese army, and this railway has been completely controlled by the Japanese army, that is to say, the Japanese army in Wuhan does not need the Yangtze River waterway to replenish troops and materials, and the Japanese army in the entire Northeast and North China can continue to go to the Wuhan battlefield through this railway, even if we take Huangshan, at most it can only play the intention of containing the Japanese army in Central China, The threat to Wuhan is basically gone, and in this case, do you still think that Wuhan is a piece of meat in our mouths? ”
