In this regard, Zhang Chi held another meeting...... There are airports in every city to hold a meeting, but it's very simple, a phone call can be made in about an hour by plane. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Everyone!" Zhang Chi raised the telegram in his hand and said, "I just received a telegram from President Jiang, asking us to go south to recover Hebei, Henan, and Shanxi provinces, what are your opinions?" ”

Ge Congxun silently didn't speak, as if this matter had nothing to do with him...... This is also his strength, he has been in the national army system for a long time, and he knows the truth of shooting the first bird, and it is better to let others do this kind of thing.

Wu Xuexin didn't have as deep a city as Ge Congxun, he stood up and said: "Deputy commander, I think that after the first battle of Yuxianggui, the Japanese army has been greatly injured, and the main force of the Japanese army is concentrated in the south, and the rear is very empty, this is a good time for our army to move south!" ”

"I don't think it's worth rushing!" Li Zhen said: "On the one hand, because our army is insufficient and the northeast is not stable, on the other hand, the Japanese army does not have much industrial base in North China, and most of their supplies and equipment are produced and supplied by the Shenyang Industrial Zone...... The Japanese army in North China is indeed empty now, but it will be even more empty in the future......"

"Commander Li!" Ge Congxun couldn't help but interrupt Li Zhen's words and said: "You must know that the Japanese have just occupied Hunan and Guangxi, and they have formed a flanking attack on Guizhou. Once Guizhou is lost, not only will the national army be divided into two pieces again, but the US aid transported by the China-Burma Highway to Chongqing will once again face the danger of being cut off, do you think we can wait any longer? ”

Ge Congxun's words are not unreasonable, this is actually another strategic intention of the Japanese army...... If you can't cut off U.S. aid from outside Myanmar, it will come from within China.

In fact, in the Battle of Henan-Xiang-Gui, the Japanese army pursued the national army into Guizhou along the Guizhou-Guizhou Highway with more than 3,000 troops, and it was like entering a no-man's land...... The reason for entering the no-man's land was that the direction of the defense of the Nationalist army in Guizhou was facing the Hunan area, and they did not expect that the Japanese army would hit Guangxi and then turn around and enter Guizhou from the rear.

The Japanese army attacked all the way along the highway to Dushan, Guizhou, approaching Sichuan, shaking Chongqing. Fortunately, Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 29th Army, led 900 men to launch a strong counterattack against it, forcing it to withdraw to Hechi, Guangxi, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Zhen was speechless when Ge Congxun said this, because judging from the situation in Chongqing, fighting back can indeed reduce the pressure and crisis faced by Chongqing to a large extent.

So everyone turned their attention to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi replied very simply: "I absolutely support fighting back!" ”

This couldn't help but surprise the staff officer next to him...... He didn't expect Zhang Chi to answer like this. And Ge Congxun showed a slight smug smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chi changed his words and said, "But do we have the ability to fight back...... That's another story! ”

Wu Xuexin said with some surprise: "Deputy commander, although we have insufficient troops, we also have four regular armies. In addition, there is a large number of armed militias, and if one corps is left to garrison with the militia in the northeast, the other three corps will attack...... With our equipment, there should be no problem! ”

Wu Xuexin is confident in the battle of Shenyang, so he really wants to fight back, not like Ge Congxun.

"Yes, Deputy Commander!" Ge Congxun pushed the boat down the river and said, "If the deputy commander is not at ease...... The New Seventh Army is stationed in the northeast, and the battle in the south will be handed over to our three armies! ”

Zhang Chi didn't answer Ge Congxun, and said, "Do you know how long we have been preparing to fight the Northeast? ”

No one answered, because they really didn't know.

"Five months!" Zhang Chi said: "And with the logistics ability of the Yankees, it has been prepared for five months...... Our four armies have more than 100,000 people, and every bullet and box of canned food is transported from the United States, Austria, and other places, which will have to travel thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers at sea, to say the least. And gasoline...... Our cars, tanks, warships, planes, armored vehicles, all fucking oil-burning stuff. It took five months for the Yankees' Victory Ship to gather all these supplies on Iwo Jima, and then to ship them in batches, and now they were almost consumed. ”

Looking at the faces of several army commanders who seemed to understand, Zhang Chi continued: "Now I want to ask you, if you organize another battle to the south, and it is still a battle that I don't know, is uncertain, and can be expected to be a battle of great intensity...... Do you think it will take a long time to prepare? Will the Americans agree to this battle plan? Will they be willing to supply us unconditionally? Do you have what it takes to supply us? ”

Several army commanders couldn't help but be speechless.

Zhang Chi continued: "To be exact, the United States is capable of providing us with supplies, but the question is that at this time, the United States is still actively preparing for a decisive battle with the Japanese in the Pacific theater, is it possible for them to supply us with all their strength regardless of their own battlefield?" So, guys, can you afford to go south without supplies from the U.S. military? ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other...... You must know that the Chinese troops at this time are all American-style equipment, and without the supplies of the US military, not to mention tanks, planes, etc., there are not even bullets and shells, so it is a fart battle!

Zhang Chi spread his hands and asked, "So, who else wants to go south?" ”

Another meaning of Zhang Chi's words is "If any of you want to find death, I will never stop you!" ”

Of course, no one dared to respond to the several army commanders, and they realized at this time that their military strength was not as good as that of the New Seventh Army, and even the power of life and death was actually in the hands of Zhang Chi.

"Of course!" Zhang Chi continued: "Just because we can't go south now doesn't mean we can't go south in the future. In fact, going south is certain, and we will one day drive the devil out of our land, but not now. To this end, we must all make preparations to go south, such as military training...... Although we won a great victory in this attack on the northeast, we also exposed many problems, such as the problem of coordination between various arms of the armed forces, the problem of coordination between troops, and so on. Therefore, in order to better go south one day, I think the whole army should be trained and reorganized, what is your opinion? ”

Ge Congxun couldn't help but half-open his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time when he heard this, he thought that this move could prevent Zhang Chi from reforming and seizing power, but he didn't expect Zhang Chi to take advantage of this to propose further rectification......
