War of Resistance

Chapter 788 Debate
"Here is my son-in-law, thank you father-in-law for saving me." Zhang Tianhai stood up and bowed sincerely to Zheng Boqu.

Zheng Boqu raised his hand and pressed down, and said meaningfully: "You don't need to be too polite, you are a family, so don't say too much. After all, we also watch out for each other."

Although Zhang Tianhai has a certain awareness in politics, he still doesn't understand the words of his father-in-law, and he doesn't know if these big figures have such profound words.

It's so deep that it's hard to understand...

"Understood." Zhang Tianhai responded casually.

"Let's have a family dinner tonight! Call the boss home for dinner." Zheng Boqu said to the old housekeeper beside him indifferently, but there was no room for rejection in his words.

This is the tone of command.

This is the kind of patriarch in the true sense of the feudal period, who dared to follow his word at home.

"Yes, master." After the old housekeeper answered, he went to shake the phone.

"My two sons, Xiaoman must have told you too, right?" Zheng Boqu looked at Zhang Tianhai and said.

"Father-in-law, Xiaoman has never told me about this, but roughly speaking, she is also from Wuhan." Zhang Tianhai did not brag on this point, but spoke the truth.

Zheng Boqu thought for a while and said, "Then let me tell you briefly! My eldest son is Zheng Yuyang, who works for the Wuhan Security Command, with the rank of colonel; the second son is Zheng Yuming, who works for the WH Municipal Government; Xiaoman Needless to say, there are only so few people in our family.”

It was concise and clear, and described the current situation of the Zheng family clearly in just a few words.

At the same time, Zhang Tianhai also knew that the rank of colonel of the Wuhan Garrison Command was not the rank of chief of staff, and his official position was close.

The most important thing is, isn't the garrison headquarters in charge of the military police?Theoretically speaking, Zhang Tianhai's Ninth Theater Guard First Regiment was within the jurisdiction of the Garrison Command.

As for how the Zheng family's second child behaved in the government, Zhang Tianhai didn't pay much attention. With a living old fairy like Zheng Boqu here, how could he suffer?Most likely, he will soon be appointed as a bureau chief or something.

Generally speaking, these members of the Zheng family are all dragons and phoenixes, not simple characters.

Indeed, in comparison, these people in the old Zhang family seem to be much mediocre.

Noble and prominent families often represent power. Since they have power, they will inevitably be busy in work and career, and often ignore some things. For example, the care of relatives is lacking compared to other families. .

Especially a child like Zheng Man who lost her mother at a young age pays special attention to the warmth of the family, otherwise she would not have lived in Lao Zhang's house all the time, and was not particularly attached to the Zheng family.

For Zheng Boqu, the love for his youngest daughter is just love. What he really cares about is the eldest son, Zheng Yuyang, and the second son, Zheng Yuming. After all, these two are the pillars of the Zheng family in the future.

"From then on, the son-in-law's name will be added to the family members of the Zheng family. In the future, whenever your father-in-law has anything to do, as long as you speak up, the son-in-law will never refuse." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile, but in his words There is no prevarication.

……

The whole afternoon, the two husbands and sons-in-law talked a lot, probably because they were both in the domestic political environment, but they also chatted a lot around the current situation.

"Yu Lin... From your military point of view, how do you view the matter of defending Greater Wuhan? What are our chances of winning?" Zheng Boqu looked at Zhang Tianhai.

Perhaps because he knew the truth of history, Zhang Tianhai shook his head and said: "Our army has no chance of winning at all. Defending Greater Wuhan is only one part of the protracted war of resistance. We must rely on the defense of Greater Wuhan. , to consume the spirit of the Japanese army, to consume the soldiers of the Japanese army. Only in this way can we win the final victory."

After hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, Zheng Boqu fell into deep thought for a while. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Our army has no chance of winning. How can it be so?"

"The Japanese aggressors will never die, and they have always used Wuhan as the center. Wuhan is an important place in the north and south of our country. As long as Wuhan is defended, our army from the north to the south can be connected. What's more, it is the center of our country's politics, transportation, and economy. Right in the center, as long as they capture this place, we have no choice but to retreat to Chongqing." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, after all, if this place is lost, we will really face many disadvantages.

"It is true that the Japanese army has powerful armor and weapons, and they want to destroy the Republic of China as soon as possible. However, the battle line has been drawn so close. Presumably the Japanese invaders' logistics line is also quite tight?" Zheng Boqu said a seemingly unrelated topic, but in fact it was related.

"Whether their rear is tight or not, my son-in-law believes that it has nothing to do with whether they can hold Wuhan. It's just about the Japanese army's future operations. The Japanese army's combat direction is still Wuhan. It won't last for a few months." Zhang Tianhai analyzed.

Before Zheng Boqu could continue, Zhang Tianhai continued: "The Japanese invaders certainly lost a large number of standing elite troops in repeated battles with our army. Elite troops such as the Fifth Division and the Tenth Division The No.14 Division and the No.[-] Division were severely damaged by our army to varying degrees, but in the final analysis, their country was not damaged, it was just tight.”

"They still have at least 40 elite troops capable of mobile combat on our territory! If our army can exhaust their 40 elite troops, our army and the Japanese aggressors will have a real stalemate on the battlefield." Zhang Tianhai said very resolutely, speaking loudly.

"40..." Zheng Boqu muttered, his deeply frowned brows showed that he knew the strength of the Japanese army very well.

It is also a fact that a regiment of the Japanese army can chase after a division of the national army.

It is an undeniable fact that the Japanese army was powerful.

If the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was really that bad, then the War of Resistance would not have lasted for 14 years, and the full-scale War of Resistance would have ended after eight years.

"As far as I know, your army is now the best of our army. If your army goes to the battlefield, how will it compare with the Japanese army?" Zheng Boqu asked.

"If you say that my son-in-law's troops went up to the army and directly beat up a division of the Japanese army, will my father-in-law believe it?" Zhang Tianhai said seriously.

"Of course I don't believe it, do you really think I'm a military layman?" Zheng Boqu glared at Zhang Tianhai.

"Uh... Now that's the case, my son-in-law, let's tell the truth! My son-in-law's troops were severely injured on the front line and have not yet recovered. If they were in their previous heyday, with the current number of soldiers, they would be able to separate from the Japanese invaders." In one-on-one training, it is not a problem for us to deal with a Japanese regiment. If it is against a Japanese brigade, I am afraid that we have more than enough energy but not enough strength." Zhang Tianhai said truthfully.

Indeed, he was not confident enough to single out the brigade level of the Japanese army. As for the wing level, he still had the confidence to defeat it.

The brigade level of the Japanese army is not as simple as doubling its strength. There are also various brigades directly under the brigade, and the number of soldiers has increased. In terms of comprehensive firepower configuration, it is naturally much stronger than the ninth theater.

Among other things, let's compare it with the Sakamoto Brigade during the Xuzhou Battle. If there is no Pang Bingxun's No.40 Army to consume their soldiers, and Zhang Zizhong's Ninth Army's strong support, just rely on Zhang Tianhai?Isn't beating him as easy as beating a dog?
The individual combat power of the Japanese army is already stronger than that of the national army, not to mention the support of many aircraft and cannons, it is not as simple as one plus one equals two!
The strengthening of these troops made the frontline troops of the Japanese army seem like a tiger with wings added!
