War of Resistance

Zhang Tianhai also believed that Xue Yue was not lying to him, and it was impossible for a person like Commander Xue to lie to him.

So, Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted: "Sir, you are wise!"

"You kid, don't be too complacent. Your troops have to go to Laodao River when they should go to Laodao River. Your troops are the essence of our military. You don't want to be lazy and run away all day. The specific combat plan has to wait for you. The commander-in-chief, that is, my chief of staff, Comrade Wu Yizhi, will make a decision after he returns." Perhaps because he was afraid that Zhang Tianhai would not trust him, Xue Yue gave him a direct message.

"Sir is wise!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted excitedly again.

"Go away! Stop sucking up here and go back to your army to lead the troops!" Xue Yue laughed and scolded a certain guy who got carried away.

"Okay, I'll get out of here, hehe!" After saying that, Zhang Tianhai disappeared in a flash.

Looking at the back of a certain person leaving, Xue Yue laughed and cursed: "This boy, he's so unreliable even though he's so fucking young? Be careful, I'm going to mess with your job!"

……

When he walked out of Changsha City, Zhang Tianhai was in a happy mood, because what he had been thinking about had gradually come to fruition.

After returning to the army, Zhang Tianhai was not idle. He immediately took out the military map and started studying it.

So the question is, what to study? Of course, we are taking advantage of the main force of the Japanese army to move north to see if we can recapture two county towns. This will not only hinder the Japanese army, but also reduce the pressure on the Yizao battlefield. But what Zhang Tianhai, a cheater, doesn't know is , the Japanese army's combat plan had just been released, and the specific plan to move north would not be released until two days later.

It can be said that it is a blessing that the mature and prudent Chief Xue Yue relied on his own experience to avoid being cheated by Zhang immediately.

……

In fact, after Zhang Tianhai left, Xue Yue also summoned Wu Yizhi to discuss the possibility of war in Yizao.

The answer is inevitable.

"I have to say that Zhang Tianhai, this thief boy, has an extremely sharp strategic vision! No wonder this boy has repeatedly led his troops to break out of the Japanese encirclement, and he can get stronger and stronger!" Wu Yizhi couldn't help but sigh.

"Who says otherwise? This boy is very clever. He has already analyzed and determined such a big movement when the Japanese army made such a move. This boy is definitely a genius!" Xue Yue's admiration was unabashed.

"Yes, the analysis is indeed accurate... Once Yichang is captured, the Japanese army will not only be able to pass through Enshi, but also achieve the goal of marching south to Changde. By then, the entire northern Hunan will be in danger!" Wu Yizhi said seriously.

"If war breaks out in Yichang, where do you think it would be better for us to go?" Xue Yue pointed to the "Changde" and "Changsha" signs on the map. The purpose is also very obvious: if the force is used in Changde, it is to mobilize troops from Changde to the north to assist the troops of the fifth theater; if it is used in Changsha, it is to send troops to attack Pingjiang, Tongcheng and other areas, striving to defeat the mountain and shake the tiger. Recover lost ground.

"Personally, I think that from the perspective of our ninth theater, it is better to use force in Changsha than in Changde." Wu Yizhi said truthfully.

"Brother Xiqi, why did you say this?" Xue Yue asked in confusion.

"The Fifth Theater Division still has fifty divisions of main force. With Commander Li Zongren's combat experience and war art, in this battle, even if Yichang is lost, the Japanese army will not be able to achieve the result of severely damaging the main force of the Fifth Theater Area. As long as we exert our strength on the eastern front, we will definitely force part of the main force of the Lower Eleventh Army to return to defend Jiangxi. By then, we will not have to go on an expedition to fight them to the death in the direction of Yichang," Wu Yizhi said solemnly.

"Indeed, this is true. However, in Changde, we still have to guard against the little Japs. Let's deploy two armies in the Changde area! Once the Japanese invaders bring heavy troops south to Changde, our army will have enough time to react." Xue Yue patted the The map hanging on the wall seems to have made a very important decision.

"Yes, but all the prerequisites are that we can do this only after the Yizao area is developed. Otherwise, the troops near Changsha will be empty, which will give the Japanese an opportunity. By then, they can completely ignore the threat of the fifth theater and Next to Changsha, the problem will be a big problem." Wu Yizhi reminded Xue Yuedao that as the chief of staff, he had the obligation to remind the military commander not to make wrong decisions due to being overheated.

"Don't worry! I know what's going on." Xue Yue nodded.

"What you just said is to send two divisions to cooperate with the theater security forces. I think it is feasible. With the defense of Changsha, whether it is to draw troops from the 10th Army or from the 74th Army, it is more than enough. ” Wu Yizhi continued.

When that came to mind, Xue Yue immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xiqi, you think the matter of deploying the 74th Army and the 10th Army is too simple..."

"Is it because they are the Central Army?" Wu Yizhi asked.

"Yes, and they are the direct descendants of the Central Military Forces, and they are the Chairman's heart. If all our troops are placed on the theater guard troops, and if a big problem occurs, who will take the responsibility? You Commander-in-chief of the theater security forces?" Xue Yue shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"That's true. The Tenth Army, the Seventy-fourth Army, and the Theater Guards are all direct descendants of the Central Military Forces. It would be really troublesome if something went wrong. Moreover, Zhang Tianhai is still young, regardless of his age or seniority. " Wu Yizhi said helplessly. As the nominal commander-in-chief of the theater security forces, he should always seek some benefits for his troops, but at this stage, it is almost impossible, so he can only give up this wonderful opportunity. Got an idea.

"How about... just deploy a few city defense regiments and add a division from the 15th Group to cooperate with them in fighting. This way we can not only ensure combat effectiveness, but also have enough troops to go into battle. Even if the losses are heavy, we will still be able to fight with them." It's just a few regiments of troops, so it won't cause much trouble." Xue Yue asked Wu Yizhi directly for his opinion.

After Wu Yizhi pondered for a while, he said: "That's okay. In this way, if something happens, we can ensure that the main force returns safely. If we win, we will have enough troops to fight and defend the lost ground. It is indeed a double kill." That's it."

Yes, both in Xue Yue's view and in Wu Yizhi's view, those city defense regiments are undoubtedly of the nature of logistics and cannon fodder. Only in this way can the safety of the 15th Group Army division and the Ninth Theater District guard troops be ensured...

You know, in the minds of the two officers, if the cannon fodder regiment is gone, it can be reorganized. If these two elite troops are gone, it will really be gone!
