Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 131 Give Chu Yunfei a Class
Chu Yunfei held a pessimistic attitude towards the war, Zhou Weihan is understandable, after all only a few people can break through the limitations of history and look forward to the future.

"Brother Chu, you don't have to be so pessimistic. I'll give you this book "On Protracted Warfare". If you have time, you can study it carefully, and you will find the answer." Zhou Weihan said slowly.

"Mr. Jiang Baili put forward the idea of ​​protracted war before his death, and the current situation coincides with what he predicted. The strategy of exchanging space for time is effective." Chu Yunfei said.

"Brother Chu, with all due respect, no matter how good a strategy is, it is executed by people. Taking the initiative to start a war in Shanghai and dragging the mechanized corps of the Japanese army to the Jiangnan where the water network is densely covered, the strategy is indeed effective. The battle in Songhu is positive. Significantly, it broke the arrogant words of the Japanese army to destroy China in three months.

But the tactics are really hard to describe. On the Songhu battlefield, [-] to [-] elite troops of the national army were used to fight the Japanese army in turn. As a result, the later combat was weak.

To put it bluntly, your principal contributed a lot to this situation. He pinned his hopes on the big powers and tried in vain to get Britain and the United States to intervene in the Sino-Japanese battlefield. The battle in Songhu missed a great opportunity to counterattack. "

"Of course, I'm just an afterthought, and I've had my mouthful." Zhou Weihan finally said with a self-deprecating smile.

After the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, there were mainly two arguments in China.

After the start of the war, the national army was defeated even after the battle, and the idea of ​​surrender was rampant for a while.

After the Taierzhuang victory, the national army finally won a partial battlefield victory, breaking the myth that the Japanese army was invincible.As a result, some frivolous people in the country began to think that the Japanese army was mediocre, and as long as it was commanded properly, China was fully capable of defeating the Japanese army alone and winning the war.

But people of insight in China know that these two kinds of arguments have no way out, and the Sino-Japanese war must be a protracted war.

For example, Li Zongren, the supreme commander of the national army in the Taierzhuang victory, believed that the Taierzhuang victory was only a partial victory, and even the result of the Xuzhou battle was not enough to change, let alone the outcome of the entire war.Similar to Li Zongren's views are Bai Chongxi, Zhang Fakui, and Jiang Baili, the first military strategist in the Republic of China, all of which have this view.

But Principal Chang didn't think so. After the battle in Wuhan, all theaters were forced to fight back, and the result is self-evident.

The winter offensive in 1939 was an important turning point. Before this offensive, the morale of the national army was relatively high, and they were more confident in combat. After this battle, the national army did not have much confidence. Their morale was very low and they were easily defeated by the Japanese army. .

That's why the Japanese army easily swept through the northwestern Hubei area, defeated almost all the troops in the fifth theater, easily captured Yichang and Shashi, and directly threatened the security of Chongqing.

The first Japanese attack had the ambition to encircle and wipe out part of the Japanese army, and the first counterattack also aimed to restore Wuhan, but they failed to achieve it.After that, it is basically in a passive situation.

"For the people of China, we all have the responsibility of defending the land in the war of resistance. Our generation of soldiers is destined to be shrouded in horse leather in this era. If even we are too pessimistic, how can we fight this war?" Zhou Weihan said.

"Hehe, what brother Zhou said hits the nail on the head, but the military quality of the party-state troops is uneven. Now the momentum of the beginning of the war has long since disappeared. People fear war. Chu has the ambition to serve the country, but it is difficult to implement it." Chu Yun. Fei said with emotion.

"Brother Chu is serious. Now the situation is very clear. The Japanese army's battle line has been dragged too long, and the war has entered a stalemate. Isn't it just like what was said in the protracted war?"

"Chu is only pessimistic for a while. The little devil has not been driven away. The situation is corrupt, but internal disputes continue. I am confident that other people may not be like this." Chu Yunfei said pointedly.

"Not long ago, Germany won a major victory on the European battlefield. The Maginot Line carefully built by France was actually broken by the German army from behind. Now the situation in the European battlefield is not optimistic. Intent to attack again." Chu Yunfei said worriedly.

Sometimes it is not a good thing to know too much, to scare oneself, to be timid before fighting, if the bones are softer, it is easy to become a person like Wang,

"Hmph, if you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy. Brother Chu, how do you think the situation will go in the future? Why hasn't the United States joined the war yet? Can he really be alone?
I can't see it. As the war expands, no country can stay out of it. The United States is located in the Americas. The unique geographical location prevents the war from reaching it temporarily. During this period, the United States will reap the dividends of the war, but one day the Axis Congress will touch the interests of the United States.

Our China has reached what it is now. As the saying goes, people with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. At worst, they will be destroyed and rebuilt. What about the United States?Is he willing?Someday it will be dragged into the water. "Zhou Weihan analyzed.

Seeing Chu Yunfei's pensive look, Zhou Weihan seized the opportunity to indoctrinate him with our party's ideology.

"Our Eighth Route Army's protracted war is different from your army's idea of ​​exchanging space for time. Comrade instructors summarized the general laws of war into three distinct stages, namely, the strategic defense stage, the strategic stalemate stage, and the strategic counteroffensive stage."

"And the future of the Sino-Japanese war lies in two united fronts, one is the international anti-government united front, and the other is the domestic anti-Japanese national united front.

Internationally, I would like to put it bluntly. I hope that the United States and the Soviet Union will intervene. Domestically, we will develop the anti-Japanese national united front, cooperate between the two parties, and unite all forces that can be united. The most important thing is to mobilize the power of the people to carry out The people's war surrounds the little devils in the vast ocean of the people. "Zhou Weihan didn't care whether Chu Yunfei listened or not, he kept talking.

"Brother Chu, you are a real soldier. I told you so much today because I want us to fight against Japan together in the future and contribute to the country and the nation."

"Brother Zhou, you really benefited a lot from talking to Chu so much today." Chu Yunfei changed his previous appearance and said with a smile.

"Chu doesn't understand politics, and he doesn't want to participate in politics. This time I came to your ministry just to learn the tactics of your Eighth Route Army. I don't know if there is a chance."

Zhou Weihan hit a soft nail, who is Chu Yunfei, it is impossible to know Zhou Weihan's plan.

Zhou Weihan's plan to draw Chu Yunfei into the Eighth Route Army has failed for the time being, and he can only hope for the future.

"Yes, if the time is right, brother Chu can fight with our new second regiment!" Zhou Weihan said.

Zhou Weihan wasn't worried about what Chu Yunfei would learn, the executors of even the most powerful tactics were human beings, and it was the soldiers at the grassroots level who fought. If they weren't soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they probably wouldn't be able to fight like the Eighth Route Army.
