9.83 Zhang Fakui asked

"Xiang Hua, Youchen is a straight person, just talk about your affairs quickly!"

Zhang Fakui dragged Jiang Baili to Tianjia Town, in order to let Jiang Baili say this sentence next to him, and after finishing this opening sentence, in fact, Jiang Baili's mission on this trip has been completed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now, it's up to Zhang Fakui himself......"

"Youchen, you are a victorious general in the war against Japan, and you are the new commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command, I Zhang Xianghua take the liberty of asking, what is your attitude towards this 'river closure' operation?"

Huang Haoran originally had a good impression of Zhang Fakui, but now Jiang Baili has "introduced" Zhang Fakui, plus what he said in a private meeting like this, even if Zhang Fakui said it, Huang Haoran could bite it and deny it, so he directly said his true inner thoughts.

"Our navy no longer exists, the river has become the world of the Japanese, and the mines laid are probably of little use, because the Japanese army has minesweepers, and there are traitors in the government to lead the way for the devils, and the mines we have laid on the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake will be swept away sooner or later. In the final analysis, without the navy guarding the Yangtze River, the closure of the river would not be a problem. ”

"Good! No wonder Brother Baili said, Youchen, you are a genius! Looking at the entire government, how many people can have such a strategic vision as yours? Let you guard the river defense and assist in the defense of the 5th and 9th major theaters, one of the most correct decisions made by the committee!"

Zhang Fakui obviously couldn't control his excitement, all because Huang Haoran's views in these words coincided with Zhang Fakui's views at all! In Zhang Fakui's view, the Wuhan government's plan to blockade the Yangtze River waterway with army and fortresses is so unreliable!

Jiujiang, which is guarded by his 2nd Legion, is even more of a dilapidated house with leaky winds! To be honest, Zhang Fakui is not sure about sticking to Jiujiang. Although there are many natural barriers such as rivers and lakes on the periphery of Jiujiang, it seems that it is very beneficial to the defenders. But that's only relative!

Just like Huang Haoran said, mines and river closures can't stop the Japanese fleet! Today, the 2nd Army Corps has neither naval nor air support, and the natural conditions of rivers and lakes can only limit the Chinese army itself. However, because the Japanese had a strong navy and air force, they could easily control the Yangtze River waterway, and then land on any tidal flat at will.

Strategically passive, and forced to disperse the troops, Zhang Fakui really did not know what he should do to prevent the Japanese from landing. Zhang Fakui, who had the experience of going abroad for investigations, was no stranger to the mode of operation of landing warfare. The almost one-sided ending in the previous battles made Zhang Fakui even more worried. From the beginning of the landing battle, all the landing operations were successful, except for the landing operation of the British and French forces at Gallipoli in the Dardanelles, which failed.

However, at present, the outlook of Wuhan public opinion on the defensive battle of Jiujiang is just the opposite of Zhang Fakui, and the articles in the newspapers are all unanimous, believing that the terrain on the periphery of Jiujiang is extremely favorable to the defenders, and Zhang Fakui should not have much problem holding Jiujiang.

What made Zhang Fakui feel even more depressed was that it was not only the Wuhan side that held this optimistic judgment, but even a Japanese military reporter named Jiugui Half-Two also followed suit, saying that the Wuhan government's construction of the Jiujiang defense position was very strong, "enough to block a million Japanese troops and fight for a year." ”

In Zhang Fakui's eyes, this nine ghosts and half two reporters are afraid that they have really seen ghosts! The more optimistic the outside world is, the more Zhang Fakui feels panicked in his heart!

In recent days, Japanese minesweepers have been coming and going in and out of the rivers and lakes, traitors and Japanese intelligence personnel have been frequently frequenting the positions of the Chinese army near Jiujiang, and Japanese planes have been repeatedly reconnoitring the positions of the Chinese army.

Zhang Fakui now does not dare to imagine the situation he may face after the fall of Jiujiang, the difficulty of the anti-landing war is only known to Zhang Fakui himself, but the senior members of the Wuhan Military Commission may not be willing to accept his explanation, Zhang Fakui is very worried that under the optimistic guidance of public opinion in the outside world, he may be labeled as incompetent after fighting a difficult battle!

So when Jiang Baili told Zhang Fakui that Huang Haoran had become the commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command in charge of Wuhan's river defense, the fire of hope in Zhang Fakui's heart suddenly brightened again! Zhang Fakui believes that a general who can win a battle will not be a straw bag, not to mention that Huang Haoran is still the little brother of Jiang Baili, a military master, and his strategic vision is even affirmed by the Soviets! It's always easier to talk in the face of such colleagues, right?

Huang Haoran really did not disappoint Zhang Fakui, except for Jiang Baili, Zhang Fakui heard for the first time that someone was not optimistic about the Wuhan government's river defense plan. What's more, Huang Haoran is also the new commander of the Wuhan garrison, and now the supreme commander of the Jiang Defense Army!

If you can get Huang Haoran's support, you may be able to save the fate of the 2nd Legion! Zhang Fakui finally saw hope again!

"What is not hopeful of being realized is not only the river defense plan? Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, how many of the plans formulated by the Military Commission can be used? Don't talk about Xuzhou! Originally, with the momentum of Taierzhuang, the 5th War Zone could obviously achieve some limited victories! But the commission is not satisfied, what kind of decisive battle is going to be held! Concentrated a large number of central troops in Xuzhou! The result? Isn't it all going to be withdrawn? It also involved Youchen, you broke off in the back! ”

Zhang Fakui said so much in one breath that he was dissatisfied with the Military Commission, and he didn't even breathe in the middle, so you can imagine how long his opinion has been holding back in his heart!

"You can't mention the mistakes of the past, but the Military Commission also has to make some progress! When I first heard that the Battle of Wuhan would adopt the fighting style that Youchen had used in the Battle of Nanjing, and put forward the slogan of defending Wuhan instead of fighting in Wuhan, I was really excited for a few days! But in the end, the Jiujiang defense plan I got in my hands still asked me to take the old way of resisting layer by layer and dividing my troops to defend to the death! What kind of bullshit new strategy is this, it's just old wine in a new bottle! If it is really fought according to the plan of the Military Commission, Jiujiang will definitely be lost soon! I think that only by abandoning the beachhead and retreating to the second position can we hold out for a long time......"

After discussion, Huang Haoran and Jiang Baili came to the same conclusion as Zhang Fakui, that is, if the fortress was broken through by the Japanese army, it would be impossible for the 9th Theater to hold Jiujiang by relying on Zhang Fakui's 2nd Army alone.

At that time, the 2nd Army Corps was left with only two paths: either to fight the Japanese with all its strength, or to retreat to the second position and resist one by one. Compared with the first road, it is obvious that the 2nd Corps retreated on the whole line, and it was the right choice to move to the second-line positions of Niutoushan, Jinguanqiao, and Shilishan to form a defensive depth and then fight to the death with the Japanese army.
