Despite Yang Zhen's identity, Pearson, the head of the US military delegation to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, had already reported in detail to this guy as early as Moscow. And before he set off from the United States, he had also read Yang Zhen's information in detail, and he was no stranger to Yang Zhen's identity.

But Yang Zhen's too young age still made him a little distrustful of the guy in front of him, and he relied on his true skills to break out of this world little by little. Since the Xinhai Revolution, his experience in China for so many years has made him intuitively and stubbornly believe that the young man in front of him also belongs to the situation of the second generation of officials.

Or maybe it's just a puppet that someone else puts on the table, and it's someone else who really commands the battle. Because his age is destined to make him a qualified general, this guy in front of him is too young, young to believe. And at his age, he was just a captain.

This old man was really unkind, and after he came up and questioned Yang Zhen's identity, he questioned why Yang Zhen stopped the attack when he thought he was still capable of continuing the attack, did not launch an attack on Nanmanchuria, the heartland of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, and even directly gave Yang Zhen a big hat to preserve his strength.

In response to this old man's somewhat scathing question, Yang Zhen smiled and did not answer him directly, but walked to the conference room in front of a combat map that had been hung up before they began to negotiate, showing the progress of each period of the battle, and then picked up the baton before saying: "Joseph. Maj. Gen. Stilwell, I think my experience has long been on the White House desk. ”

"In the same way, my old friend, Colonel Pearson, has reported my situation to the White House in detail more than once. As for whether I am like some people in China, whether I have achieved this position by relying on achievements, or whether I have reached this position by relying on my father's meng, I think the White House should be very clear. ”

"If Your Excellency insists that my identity as a lieutenant general is somewhat suspicious. Then I can only say to you that I am sorry, my father was just a small businessman, and now he is more of an elementary school teacher. All he could do for me was to provide me with education before the war and teach me some principles that I should know as a human being. ”

"I don't have that good luck, I have such an old man. If I really had, I would never have hundreds of thousands of heavy troops in my hands, and surrender a large area of the country without firing a single shot, and let tens of millions of my flesh and blood compatriots be ravaged under the iron hooves of the invaders. ”

After replying to the American major general's bitter question in the same harsh words, Yang Zhen pointed to the map in front of him with the baton in his hand, and introduced the general process of the battle before replying: "As for why we will terminate this battle under the overall favorable situation on the battlefield, we will terminate this battle. ”

"I think anyone who has basic operational knowledge and has experience in commanding a large corps in operations, rather than a simple theoretical expert, will understand it after listening to my brief introduction and reading this map. Of course, if there is one who doesn't understand, I can also introduce it again in detail. ”

"On this map, the specific location of each division of our army at the end of the battle, as well as the location of each division of the Japanese army, have been indicated. I think that all of you here are high-ranking military officers, so I don't need to explain too much about what this map means. ”

"If we continue to attack, what kind of danger our attacking forces will face in Ximan has been completely shown on this map. If we continue to attack, our army, which is too long in supply lines and overtired after a long battle, will not only be unable to make any further progress, but will be cut off and encircled in Ximan. ”

"Anyone can say it, even if I haven't been on the battlefield for a day, as long as I know some military affairs. In the face of the combat map, it can be said that everything is the way. But theory is not reality, and you are not us. No matter how high the theory is, it is impossible to really know how to fight without being on the battlefield for a day. ”

Yang Zhen's previous scathing answer, and at the end of this paragraph, as long as you are not a fool, you can clearly hear a certain sentence in it, which is to satirize a certain brother who has no experience in the combat command of a large corps, and can be said to be quite mean, which makes the US Army major general's face turn red.

This American major general, who has never fought on the battlefield, knows very well what Yang Zhen means in his words, and it is an honor that no one except himself is worthy of this qualification. If he doesn't know Chinese, it's better, Pearson, who is a temporary guest translator, can also turn around. But this guy is quite proficient in Chinese.

When Yang Zhen's last words came out, everyone else present, including those involved in the negotiations of the Anti-Japanese Federation, couldn't help but look at each other. They obviously did not expect that the young commander in front of them and the US Army Major General were obviously not dealing with each other, and at least they did not like each other.

As soon as the negotiations began, they were pinched before they touched on specific issues. It's not public, but who are you here? Including those British, that wasn't human sperm. Everyone can understand the open guns and hidden arrows in these words. It's been pinched like this at the beginning, and no one can guarantee what the noise will look like later.

Although this war on the lips was first provoked by the American major general. But including the British generals, they all felt it at the first time, this young but sharp-toothed guy, even in the mouth of the head of the mouth, may not be easy to deal with.

The political commissar was on the side, although he didn't speak, but he looked at Yang Zhen and shook his head silently. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with Yang Zhen's mean and bitter answer. People sit here to negotiate, not to quarrel. Even if people speak a little harshly, you can't take the opportunity to jerk them in the face.

Compared with the somewhat dissatisfied old handsome, General Wavell, the head of the British delegation, who had already understood the conversation between the two people through a translator, looked at Stilwell, who was sitting next to him, and his face was flushed at this time. Frowning, he quickly diverted the unpleasantness caused by the topic of Yang Zhen's age, and quickly turned the topic back to the battlefield before the Major General Stilwell went berserk.

He walked to the large combat map beside Yang Zhen, and with the assistance of the translator beside him, he carefully looked at the situation on the map and said, "General Yang, since you are a senior commander, then you should know that many things that happen on the battlefield cannot be fully expressed on the map. ”

"First of all, from the situation between you and the Japanese army at the end of this battle, it is not clear from the map that you have lost the ability to continue attacking. Indeed, before the end of this battle, the density of Japanese troops in South Manchuria and along the Zhongchang Railway was already quite high. There is considerable pressure on you to launch subsequent attacks. ”

"But you have advanced to the Linxi and Tongliao areas respectively, and the two armored brigades with a large number of cavalry and motorized infantry can completely carry out a pincer offensive against the western region of South Manchuria, especially the two Japanese divisions in front of Linxi, and completely annihilate them on the front of your Linxi battlefield."

At the same time, a force was directly inserted into the hinterland of South Manchuria, cutting off the medium-long railway from Mukden to Xinjing, and completely disrupting the deployment of the Kwantung Army in South Manchuria. You don't have to capture a certain place or annihilate many enemy troops. As long as a mobile force is organized, disrupting the deployment of the enemy army can create a zào opportunity for the Linxi battlefield. And after solving the battlefield of Linxi, your real fighters will arrive. ”

"You must know that Xinjing was already under your semi-encirclement at that time, and at the same time you had crossed the Xintu Railway and were threatening the eastern mountains of South Manchuria. One of your divisions on the Western Front has penetrated to the west of the Zhongchang Railway, which is already close to Siping. ”

"And the Japanese division that penetrated behind Tongliao, judging from the number of troops in your troops around him, no longer poses any threat to the depth of your western front. Feel free to close it up if you need to. In fact, at the end of the battle, several divisions of the Kwantung Army north of Siping were already under your semi-encirclement. ”

"And under the condition that you have already invested heavy troops in the Xinjing battlefield, the Japanese troops around Xinjing are simply unable to take care of other directions, and they are simply unable to threaten the semi-encirclement that you have formed. The situation on the entire battlefield can be described as interlocking. Even if the Japanese army in South Manchuria threatens to break your ring, it will immediately face another threat. ”

"As a British Army general, I have to admit that this campaign is a classic from planning to implementation until the end. First of all, your tactics of large-scale intersperse, roundabout, frontal attack, and flank detour are quite classic. I think you should be proud to be able to use infantry to this extent, as the true commander of this campaign. ”

"At least until you end your offensive, you're fighting a pretty good battle. But I don't know why you stopped your offensive in this favorable situation. You also have two armored brigades and a large number of cavalry units deployed in the Tongliao and Linxi battlefields, which are two extremely mobile troops. Unfortunately, you have not used them effectively. ”

"It is true that if your forces on the Western Front continue to move south, it is very likely that they will be divided by the Japanese army because of the long distance between the forces in other directions. But if you turn to the southeast, when you have already captured Tongliao and the two forces have actually moved closer together, at least the two Japanese divisions in front of Linxi should be wiped out first, and there should be no problem.

"And judging from your strength on the battlefield of Linxi, even after completing the face-to-face battle, the main force turned to the southeast. But you are on the Linsi front, and you can also leave enough troops to defend your flanks. Judging from the terrain on the map, the terrain there will also help you defend against the Japanese army in Rehe and Chinese mainland. ”

"But no matter how detailed a map is, all it can show is the situation on the battlefield. And you, as the supreme commander of this army, should clearly know whether a battle is won or not, a map that shows the situation does not say anything, and there are many things that cannot be marked on the map. ”

"Both we and Major General Stilwell need to know clearly what the reasons for your termination of the battle are in such a favorable overall situation. And this point is very important for us to evaluate the combat effectiveness of your army and the intention and will of your commanders. ”

"And our judgment is directly related to the future of your allies, the future assistance to you. Because we can't give the equipment of our allies to an army that deliberately maintains its own strength on the battlefield, instead of going all-out to war. So I hope you will answer Major General Stilwell's questions in detail, and come up with a reason to convince us of you. ”
