Invincible from the sword

Chapter 232 Their Forces Are Not Enough

In the chief's department of the Ninth War Zone, Hu Zai was discussing the latest situation with Zhang Lei.

As a senior general of the national army, Huzai has always had his own views on the international situation.

His thinking is similar to that of the old man in Shancheng.

They all feel that if they want to completely drive the Japanese army out of China, it is not enough to rely on the current strength of their national army.

I don't want to admit it, but facts are facts.

With a weak national strength, it is very difficult for an agricultural country to fight against an industrial country.

Although the Soviet Union and the Beacon Country have always provided assistance to them, the assistance is too little.

Most of the island nation's troops are now on the eastern battlefield, which puts too much pressure on the old man in Shancheng.

If you want to defeat the Japanese army, of course you mainly rely on yourself, but external forces are also indispensable.

Otherwise, just the Kwantung Army would be enough for their national army to fight.

Recently, various gossips have been flying all over the sky regarding the situation in Europe.

Tiger Cub has been paying attention.

But so far, there is no definite news.

He really wanted to hear Zhang Lei's thoughts.

Zhang Lei is too familiar with this point.

As a person with God's perspective, this is not difficult for Zhang Lei at all.

Zhang Lei: "War breaks out in Europe is certain.

And just recently.

The great powers of Europe have been preparing for such a long time to wage war.

Just one Czechoslovakia cannot satisfy the ambitions of the great state at all.

In order to solve the economic crisis, Dazhong has invested a lot of money in military enterprises.

The tanks, aircraft and warships produced are more than the Queen's Kingdom and the Perfume Kingdom combined.

With so many weapons, if it is said to be used for defense, no fool would believe it.

So I estimate that the Grand National will launch a full-scale war soon.

The first to bear the brunt is Poland, which is the closest to Dazhong.

I estimate that within a month at most, there will be news.

The alliance between the Dazhong and the island countries is known to the whole world.

Because of this, Dazhong has suspended the military advisers and arms trade in the national army.

The Great Power launched a war in Europe, but at that time the whole of Europe would be in flames.

However, it is unrealistic to count on the Queen and Perfume Kingdoms of Europe to support us.

With their strength, they can't stop Da Da Guo's attack at all.

Self-defense is difficult.

Relatively speaking, Su's support for us will definitely increase.

If the Dazhong State attacks the State of Poland, it will definitely go to war with the State of Su in the end.

And the island nation is an ally of the Dazhong nation, and at the same time covets the Far East of the Soviet Union.

This will make Su feel great pressure.

In order to contain the island nation, Su will definitely increase its support to us.

As for the lighthouse country, the probability of going to war with the island country is [-]%. "

Zhang Lei's words shocked Tiger Boy very much.

Is the Congress of the Peoples going to attack Poland in the near future?
Will the Soviet Union increase its support to them?
Will the lighthouse country definitely go to war with the island country?
Such a series of conclusions made Tiger Cub's blood boil.

This is too incredible, right?

The current situation in the whole world, not to mention the tiger boy, even the old man in Shancheng can't see through it.

Although the military command ability of the old man in Shancheng is rubbish, but one thing to say, this guy's political ability and political vision are still very good.

He is a tiger boy, he can't compare.

Even the old man couldn't see through the situation, but Zhang Lei said it with such certainty.

It really surprised Tiger Cub.

In particular, the Lighthouse Congress will go to war with the island country. In Tiger Boy's view, this possibility is possible, but not great.

Tiger Cub still has some understanding of the situation in the Lighthouse Country.

From Congress to ordinary people, isolationism is rife.

Even the aid to their national army, the Congress of the Beacon Country is planning to stop it.

Let the lighthouse country and the island country fight, no matter how you think about it, it feels impossible.

Tiger Boy said: "Zhang Lei, do you have any basis for the Lighthouse Kingdom's participation in the war?"

Zhang Lei thought for a while: "The current situation in the island country is very chaotic.

Since the war has been fought, the army troops of the island country have consumed a large amount of war resource reserves.

Coupled with the oil and steel embargo policy imposed by the lighthouse country on the island country.

The current situation in the mainland of the island country must be on the verge of collapse.

And the island country's strategy of supporting war with war in the East has not been very successful.

Not to mention supplying the Japanese army, the puppet army alone consumed almost all the food.

And because of the continuous fighting, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.

In addition, the occupied area needs military defense.

The military strength of the current island country is very tense.

To solve these problems, it is necessary to find new resource places.

Southeast Asia and South Asia are most in line with the strategic interests of the island nation.

There are rich iron ore, oil, rubber, and grain, which are of great significance to the island country.

Another point is that the army and navy of the island country have always been in conflict.

Now the strategic center of gravity of the entire island nation lies with the army of the island nation, which will definitely arouse strong dissatisfaction from the island nation's navy.

From this point of view, the navy of the island country must want to restore this situation.

And the best target is the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country.

For the Japanese army, their offensive capabilities are far from what they used to be.

Although the attack of the No. 11 Japanese army was very sharp, I guess it won't last long.

Their purpose is probably to threaten the old man in Shancheng to surrender by occupying Changsha.

You see.

Soon many clowns popped out.

And he is a very important person on your side. "

Just as Zhang Lei finished speaking, a second lieutenant hurriedly sent a telegram.

Chief of Staff Wu took a look and his face turned pale.

This is so...

It took a long time for Chief of Staff Wu to react, and he said in disbelief: "Mr. Xue, traitor Wang has defected to the Japanese."

what! ?

Tiger Cub was startled.

He snatched the telegram away.

One minute later, Tiger Cub tore the telegram into pieces.

The whole popularity trembled.

At this critical moment, traitor Wang actually defected to the island country! ? ?

I Nima...

Isn't this just looking for trouble?

Tiger Boy obviously didn't expect that such a thick-eyed and big-eyed traitor Wang would betray the revolution!
Too much garbage.

Now the Battle of Changsha is unfolding, and the main force of the Japanese army has approached the Xinqiang River.

If such a thing happened at this time, it would be a major blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers of his ninth war zone.

Tiger Boy frowned, looked at Zhang Lei: "I really let you talk.

Sure enough, the clown came out.

I just received a telegram from the old man in Shancheng that the traitor Wang has defected to the island country.

Prepare to establish a puppet regime in Jinling.

The old man Shancheng has already published a declaration of rebellion in the newspaper. "

Zhang Lei already knew about this.

So he wasn't surprised at all.

Looking at Zhang Lei's calm face, Tiger Boy was quite surprised: "What? Aren't you shocked?"

Zhang Lei shook his head: "This is normal.

Wang Hanjian has repeatedly said in public that he should negotiate with the island country.

What is there to talk about between us and the island nation?

The negotiation of the alliance under the city is called negotiation?

If you can't win, no matter how you talk about it, you will suffer. "

Tiger Boy nodded: "This incident has a great impact. The old man in Shancheng asked us to fight a big victory and get back our face.

Otherwise, there will be a big mess. "

You can know this by thinking about it with your toes.

Wang traitor defecting to the enemy will definitely cause a huge chain reaction among the troops and the people.

At that time, the entire determination and enthusiasm for the war of resistance will be extinguished.

It will be difficult to defeat the island nation again.

Tiger Boy immediately notified the whole army, and the dead guarded Changsha, never taking a step back.

In order to show his determination to resist the war, Tiger Boy decided to bring his family to Changsha.

Only in this way can the soldiers see his determination to fight the Japanese invaders.

After Zhang Lei came out of the Ninth War Zone Commander's Department, he immediately rushed to the headquarters of Commander Luo of the No. 19 Army.

Commander Luo was already waiting there.

He has received orders from Tiger Cub.

Let his troops attract the Japanese army to the Tonggu area to annihilate them.

This means that Nanchang must be abandoned.

From the bottom of his heart, he was really not reconciled.

But the order has been given and must be carried out.

As for how to massacre the Japanese army in Nanchang, he still has no good ideas.

Zhang Lei's return made Commander Luo feel more at ease.

Through these two battles, Commander Luo admired Zhang Lei very much.

Now Zhang Lei's opinion is very important to Commander Luo.

Regarding killing and injuring Japanese troops in Nanchang, Zhang Lei meant that this was not realistic.

Nanchang has no danger to defend.

Now that the Japanese army has suffered a big loss on the Eastern Front, the next Japanese attack will only be more violent.

The No.19 Army, after fighting this battle, lost a lot of troops.

Ammunition supplies are also insufficient.

If it is still necessary to kill the Japanese army in Nanchang, it is unlikely.

What Zhang Lei meant was to voluntarily withdraw from Nanchang and implement a strong wall to clear the country.

Now the people in Nanchang City have all retreated.

Even if the Japanese army occupied Nanchang, it was just an empty city.

The occupation of Nanchang by the Japanese army will give the Japanese army the illusion that the national army has collapsed.

In this case, it will be more sure to attract the Japanese army to the Tonggu.

Commander Luo thought for a while and agreed to Zhang Lei's suggestion.

He immediately ordered: "No.30 Second Army, No.70 Army, No.40 Ninth Army, retreat to the west of Tonggu and defend.

No.70 Fourth Army, No.70 Ninth Army, First Division, Second Division, and Temporary First Regiment of the New Fourth Army retreated to the east of Tonggu for defense.

The No.70 Eighth Army, as a reserve force, supports each battlefield at any time. "

In the headquarters of the No.19 Army, the generals of the National Army were a little surprised.

Annihilate the Japanese army in the Tonggu area?
It seems that their strength is not enough.

Tiger Boy has sent the latest telegram. The Japanese army on the Eastern Front is the Japanese [-]st Division and Sae Detachment.

The total force is 3 people.

The [-]st Division of the Japanese Army, because it supplemented a wing of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army, its combat effectiveness has improved a lot.

The Saeda detachment was composed of two regiments drawn from the third division of the Japanese army.

Although the Saeda detachment has only two wings, the combat effectiveness of this detachment is stronger than that of the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army.

If such a group of Japanese troops wanted to eat it up in one bite, their No. 19 Army simply didn't have enough troops.
