"I have, of course the guy who eats with him." Admiral Li took over the topic and replied, and then shouted to the door, and a lieutenant colonel staff officer hurriedly walked in, took out a map of the area from his bag, spread it out on the coffee table, and then withdrew.

Jiang Haoran looked at the map for a few seconds, pointed to Xinyang and said: "Two of you, please see, from Xinyang to Lu'an, the whole journey is more than 400 miles, passing through the three main counties of Guangshan, Mall and Jinzhai in the middle, all of which belong to the safety zone of the Japanese occupation area, and the strength will not be too much, the great is the Japanese army at the squadron and brigade level, most of them will be dominated by the puppet army, and the difficulty of the attack is not great, but once the war starts, the Japanese army in Hefei and Lu'an will definitely give full support, and the large-scale battle will be launched in the mall, and it is still not a big problem to take the mall at this time. Because the Japanese army can not gather too many troops in a hurry, a small number of reinforcements simply can't stop a premeditated large-scale attack, but at this time, we must not easily rush forward, it is advisable to wait for the troops of the first theater in Shaanxi to enter Xinyang, and then slowly figure it out, not only to ensure the safety of Xinyang's flank, but also not to disobey the orders of the Military Commission, who can guarantee that the offensive process will be blocked, isn't it? As for Lu'an, of course, it was necessary to fight, and the time came when the Japanese army in Wuhan began to show signs of defeat and intended to retreat. ”

Admiral Li looked confused and said, "When you retreat?" You must know that the quality of the Japanese army is by no means comparable to that of our army, even if they retreat, they are orderly, busy but not chaotic, and there will never be a situation of defeat like a mountain, and once they retreat, the entire Lu'an periphery must have more troops, in this case, how can we defeat Lu'an? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we defeat Lu'an, the enemy's reinforcements and retreats will not wrap us into dumplings? ”

Jiang Haoran smiled slightly, and said: "Oh, Uncle Li, how can such a smart person of yours not be able to turn this corner, if you want to fight until the enemy retreats, I won't say a month, at least twenty days will definitely be wanted, the troops of the first theater should arrive even if they are snails, with the troops of the first theater to support you, there is no problem for you to advance the troops to Jinzhai, right?" Besides, I'm talking about the time when the enemy intends to retreat, before the enemy retreats. As you said, even if the Japanese army retreats, there will be no uncontrollable defeat like a mountain, but an orderly retreat, so the early stage of the troops will not be too much, from the Japanese army began to gather in Luotian, Yingshan area, to retreat to Lu'an, which has at least two or three days, you should not be difficult to defeat Lu'an from the Jinzhai army, right? As for the troops will be wrapped into dumplings? You are wrong, the Japanese army is the dumplings, the troops of the first theater of operations have arrived in Xinyang, and all the troops of your fifth theater can advance in the direction of Lu'an on the whole line, the ninth theater is behind the enemy, and our 40th Army is on the right side of the enemy. ”

General Li's face finally turned cloudy and clear, and there was a feeling that his mouth was suddenly opened, and he just wanted to speak, but Chen Chen interjected: "Is it too late in this time, don't be exploited by the Eighth Route Army at that time, let them fight Lu'an first, and the responsibility on Duke De will be heavy?" ”

Admiral Lee echoed: "Yes, that's what I'm worried about. ”

Jiang Haoran looked at the two of them silently with a smile on his face, giving an unfathomable and profound feeling, Chen and Li glanced at each other, and almost urged Jiang Haoran to solve the mystery in unison.

I'm afraid they never dreamed that this was exactly the result Jiang Haoran wanted, and at this time he was by no means selling Guanzi, but thinking about how to round out this big lie, and he said slowly for a long time: "The Eighth Route Army is not a god, 20,000 horses lack guns and ammunition, it is already very difficult to block the reinforcements of the Japanese army, how can it be possible to divide troops to attack Lu'an, of course, since they can take this bet, they will definitely have a plan, if my guess is right, What they can use is the team behind the enemy in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui region to do this, you also know, the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army are backward enough, but those people are not at the same level compared to the regular troops, I heard that only three or five people have a gun, each gun has less than five bullets, needless to say, artillery fire, not at all, military literacy is not much different from a peasant, do you say that with such a team can take down a county town where the enemy is crucial? Don't talk nonsense, take 10,000 steps back, even if they have the ability, and they are the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but it may be okay for the Eighth Route Army to pull out a stronghold and a gun tower, and attack the city? Hehe, I'm afraid they don't have such teeth yet. Even if there is, no matter how you say it, it will take a day or two, once you hear that they have made a move, it is already a long time from Jinzhai to Lu'an, and with them harassing behind enemy lines, is it easier for the soldiers to take Lu'an in one fell swoop? ”

Jiang Haoran analyzed it layer by layer, it was reasonable and well-founded, and it was undoubted, both of them nodded again and again, looking like they were being taught, and Admiral Li was even more overjoyed, as if he had been burdened. But they wouldn't have thought that the factor Jiang Haoran said was all on the premise that the Eighth Route Army only had 20,000 regular troops, and it was because your intelligence work was too poor, and if there was any deviation in the future, it would not be to blame him.

In the following time, the three of them had a beautiful imagination about the battle situation in front of them, and they were very involved in expressing their opinions, even Chen Yihan came back and put the cigarettes he bought on the coffee table, no one noticed, and the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere made bursts of hearty laughter in the room from time to time, until Li Yi came to call them to dinner, this lively scene ended for a short time.

But it didn't last long, several times the liquor was in the stomach, they were more excited one by one, and they talked more, of course, they were talking about war, so that Li Yi on the side couldn't help but shake his head, and said to Chen Yihan in a low voice: "These men are naturally aggressive, as soon as they hear that there is a fight, you see how excited they are all about, your father doesn't know how long he hasn't been so excited?" ”

Chen Yihan looked at Jiang Haoran obsessively, and replied casually: "Haoran is not aggressive, he is to support justice and drive out the Tartars, and to save this suffering nation." ”

"Okay, okay, just your family's Haoran realm is high, let me tell you girl, this time while Jiang Haoran is back, you have to seize the opportunity and hurry up to urge him to do your marriage, this is nothing to be nameless and scoreless, your mother has already fallen on this, you can't follow in my mother's footsteps 616161616161"

Li Yi began to chatter when she talked about this, but Chen Yihan's face turned red, she lowered her head and pulled the rice grains into her mouth, no longer speaking, the conversation between the mother and daughter did not affect the three men on the table at all, and the conversation continued to push the cup and change the lamp.
