Chapter 495: Old Jiang's Shock

"To realize the Lunan battle plan, we must have a strong mobile combat unit on the inner line, this force must have strong combat capability and mobility ability, in our fifth theater, only the first division of honor can meet the conditions, Mr. Jiang, I hope that in the next battle, the first division of honor can be matched with my fifth theater!" Li Delin said solemnly, "I will make good use of this unit and let it play a more outstanding role." ”

"Degong, you can't always think about the Fifth War Zone, this whole country is a game of chess, the Honorary First Division is now a banner of the War of Resistance, this battle, there are a lot of losses, the soldiers are tired, and they also need to rest, if they continue to fight, won't they think that the command department is not sympathetic to the officers and soldiers below?"

"The military situation is like fire, not to mention that they have been resting in place for a month, even if they do not recover their full combat effectiveness, it is enough to recover seventy or eighty."

At this point, the meeting has gone sour.

It has completely become a dispute between the Fifth Theater and the Wuhan Command over the departure and retention of the Honorary First Division.

Obviously, Li Delin, on behalf of the Fifth War Zone, wants to leave the Honor First Division behind, and with such strong combat effectiveness, it would be a fool not to stay.

As for Lao Jiang, he hopes to transfer the honorary first division to the rear to rest, of course, it is unknown whether he has another purpose.

He also didn't open his mouth, allowing Lin Wei and Li Delin to exchange lips on the table, and the generals below looked at each other one by one, not knowing who to help.

"Commission, now that the first division of honor is transferred, the strength of our army in the Huainan area will be greatly reduced, which will inevitably cause a void in strength, if the Japanese army takes advantage of the weakness to enter, I am afraid it will be inappropriate!"

"Yes, the honorary first division is in Huainan, and the Japanese army will not dare to act rashly!"

"The first division of honor is transferred, who will replace it?"

The generals of the Fifth War Zone are all united at this time, and Lao Jiang cannot be allowed to transfer the Honor 1st Division, the Honor 1st Division is in the Fifth War Zone, and when the time comes, he may need people to fight in the area.

The generals of the Fifth Theater opened their mouths one after another, demanding that the Honorable 1st Division remain in the Fifth Theater.

With the opinions of so many people, Lao Jiang also had to consider it, but he didn't completely think about whether the Honor First Division would stay in the Fifth War Zone.

"It's not early today, the meeting is here, and tomorrow I will go to the front to inspect, and you all go back first." Lao Jiang was ready to end the meeting, so as not to argue endlessly.

"Regarding whether the Honorary First Division will stay in the Fifth War Zone, let me think about it again!"

"Adjournment!"

"Brother Delin, let's talk about it alone?" Lao Jiang invited Li Delin to say.

"Okay." Li Delin didn't need to talk to Lao Jiang alone, "I want to call Shang Jiansheng, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"It's fine." Lao Jiang nodded meaningfully.

According to the inference of the scale of the current Sino-Japanese war, it is only a matter of time before the Japanese army attacks Wuhan, whether the Japanese army is moving south from the Pinghan line or advancing west along the Yangtze River, the Japanese army's intention to attack Wuhan has been revealed." Lao Jiang sat down and said first.

"According to the current intelligence, there is no obvious intention of the Japanese army to attack Wuhan!" Bai Jiansheng and Li Delin glanced at each other and said slowly.

"Have you ever thought about why we opened a second battlefield in the first place?"

"If the Japanese army concentrates its forces to attack in North China, then the north pole of the Yangtze River may all fall, and the second battlefield is to take advantage of the favorable terrain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which can be resisted step by step, and at the same time break the Japanese army's strategy of destroying China."

"At this point in the war, it is not something that can be stopped if you want to, and Japan is still using that trick to try to make us feel that we can negotiate an armistice and peace talks, in fact, I have no hope for the armistice and peace talks, of course, the talks still have to be discussed, and we must also use the peace talks to gain time."

Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng were stunned, when did Lao Jiang become so sober?

"Mr. Jiang, in Xuzhou and Lunan areas, although our army is in a defensive position, if the Japanese army is lone and deep, it can seize the fighter plane and fight him in a war of annihilation."

"Xuzhou has to be defended, but Wuhan is more important, Delin, do you understand?"

"Mr. Jiang, now that the war is imminent, if the elite Honor First Division is withdrawn, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the army and the people in the Fifth War Zone!" Li Delin emphasized.

Lao Jiang was silent, he was not stupid, he naturally understood what the consequences would be if the honorary first division was transferred.

Even if he added a few more troops, it would be difficult to make up for such losses.

"Commission, why don't you leave the honorary first division in a different way?" Bai Jiansheng suggested.

"What do you think, why don't you say it?" Lao Jiang raised his head slightly and said.

"I just heard this idea, Degong, let's talk about it." Bai Jiansheng smiled, which can be regarded as helping Li Delin to lead out the "April Fool's Day" plan.

"Delin, is there anything else you haven't said?"

"Mr. Jiang, Delin has made a plan, which can be regarded as a supplement to Lunan's battle plan, but it is a confidential matter, and it was not proposed at the meeting just now." Li Delin said.

"You still have a plan?" Lao Jiang was taken aback.

"This plan can't actually be considered mine, it was formulated by me and Vice Commander Geng Guang and Leng Guoguang, the commander of the Honorary First Division, and we also gave it a very interesting name, called the 'April Fool's Day' plan." Li Delin said.

"April Fool's Day plan, I remember that April Fool's Day in the West is April 1st, does your plan have anything to do with this date?" Lao Jiang asked in surprise.

"It's a little related, but it's not quite." Li Delin said, "The core of the April Fool's Day plan is to carry out a strategic deception of the Japanese army. ”

"Strategic deception, how to say?" Lao Jiang showed a hint of interest.

"As long as the Honorary First Division is in front of them, it will be difficult for them to easily go north to cooperate with the Shandong Japanese army to open up the Jinpu Road, which is also one of the reasons why the Japanese army in Shandong has not continued to move south."

Lao Jiang nodded.

"If the Honorary First Division is transferred from Jiangbei, it is equivalent to removing a roadblock, and the Japanese army in Jiangnan will definitely land on a large scale, and it is difficult to say whether the **** can block the Japanese army's front at that time."

"Isn't it Liao Lei's 21st Group Army stationed in Hefei, Bengbu and the Huai River, Delin, that's your troops, don't you have this confidence in your troops?"

"I am confident that we will stop the Japanese army north of the Huai River, but before that, we will inevitably lose some of the lost ground that we have recovered." Li Delin explained.

"Hmm!"

"We can transfer the Honor 1st Division and give the Japanese army in Jiangnan a chance to go north, so that the Japanese army in Shandong will be stimulated and let them make a rash move, and the first thing in the Lunan battle plan is to induce the Japanese army to rush into the battlefield set up by our army and annihilate it." Li Delin said.

"So, do you agree with me to transfer the First Division of Honor?" Lao Jiang was confused, what was going on with Li Delin, he was resolutely opposed just now, why did he agree now.

"Mr. Jiang, what I want to say is that the Honor 1st Division was not really transferred, it was only a part of it, and the main force of the Honor 1st Division was hidden on Weishan Lake, waiting for the Japanese army to rush south, and when our army was encircled and annihilated, the main force of the Japanese army went south to rescue, and suddenly landed on the east bank of Weishan Lake, and carried out a devastating blow to the main force of the Japanese army!" Li Delin finally said the real purpose of "April Fool's Day".

Lao Jiang was stunned, this plan shocked him, he didn't expect Li Delin's appetite to be so big, he actually wanted to eat the main force of the Japanese army.

This is more shocking than the annihilation of the Japanese army by the Lunan fighters.

Li Delin said it quite tactfully, Leng Feng's appetite is even greater, his target is the Isogu Division, he wants to eat the Isogu Division, and he also wants to regain the lost territory.

Recovering the important town of Jinan, this is the goal of Leng Feng.

Re-drive the Japanese army to the north bank of the Yellow River.

What Li Delin said was just a rough plan, and many details, if you really want to explain it, it will take you an hour or two. Night.

Of course, Leng Feng dared to make this plan, not without any requirements, he needed more artillery, more tanks, these can only be provided by Lao Chiang.

At present, the heavy firepower of the national government is basically in the hands of Lao Jiang, and if there is no heavy firepower, it is a little difficult to hold the Isogu Division just by relying on the family background of the Honorary First Division.

How much can you eat, if Lao Jiang really fully supports him, recovering the important town of Jinan is really not necessarily a pipe dream, but if Leng Feng only relies on the strength in his own hands, at most he will hit the Isoya division hard, and at the worst, he will let Isoya Ryosuke lose his armor and flee.

"Do you have a specific plan?"

"Yes, we have also done wargames and think that this plan has at least a 30% chance of success." Li Delin took out a top-secret plan from his pocket.

It took Lao Jiang nearly ten minutes to read the plan carefully, the plan was very detailed, and what to do at what stage was clearly written.

"Jiang Gong, what do you think of this plan?"

"It's shocking, if this project had succeeded, we would have been in a completely different situation." Of course, Lao Jiang can see that if this plan is successful, the benefits will be self-evident.

Even if it can't reverse the fundamental general trend, it can still deal a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders and buy a longer time for the strategic shift in the rear.

"Commission, if this plan is implemented, the first thing is to keep it secret, once it is leaked, it will be meaningless." Bai Jiansheng said, "Therefore, this plan cannot be leaked to anyone except the participants, including some of our senior generals. ”

"Then how do you hide it from them?" Lao Jiang was stunned.

"In order to convince the Japanese that the Honorary First Division was transferred to Wuhan for recuperation, Division Commander Leng Guoguang will publicly appear in Wuhan, and some troops will be withdrawn from the Honorary First Division to return to Wuhan, and the main force will quietly conceal the base on Weishan Lake of the movement." Li Delin explained.

"Delin, tell me the truth, how many people are there in the First Division of Honor now?"

"I don't know about this, but Commander Leng Guoguang said that the first division of honor can confront a division of the Japanese army head-on." Li Delin said.

"Delin, Jiansheng, let me think about it." Old Jiang said cautiously.
