This meeting is a major feature of human civilization in the history of history, and it is nothing like this in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.`

If a person cannot decide something, then I will discuss it with a few people. Just a little casually, everyone will sit together, and they will solve the problem by saying a word.

If you need to discuss and decide solemnly, you have to have a convener who will gather everyone together, sit down and discuss, and you will usually fight red and stalemate.

Leng Feng also holds a meeting, but if he can't hold a meeting, he won't hold a meeting. He will only talk about the key points when he can. If he can, he will try not to say anything that is irrelevant.

Unless there are important military meetings and deployments, Leng Feng always calls or sends a telegram directly, asks for comments, and then summarizes and makes a decision.

This is the first time Leng Feng has attended a high-level meeting like today. Of course, with his qualifications, he can only sit at the end. Even at the end, no one can sit at the end.

The conference room is not small, with a long table covered with a layer of green velvet blanket, and tea cups are placed neatly like soldiers lined up, simple and tidy.

Leng Feng saw a photo of Mr. Zhongshan hanging on the wall in the middle. The commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone would not hang the photos of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek has not yet reached that point.

He thought about whether he would have taken a photo of Mr. Zhongshan and hung it in the conference room after he went back.

As for your own office, you will never hang photos of others.

Everyone was sitting in a dilemma, with white gloves and straight waists, and their eyes were not squinting.

"Sir Li is here!"

"stand up!"

Leader Li Delin, Yang Jie, Lin Wei, and Huang Xuecun walked in from the door.

Li Delin and Yang Jie stood side by side and walked to the top of the table. They raised their hands and pressed them down slightly: "Everyone, please sit down."

After a while, everyone sat down together.

"Today, we convened you to hold this meeting, which is what the Wuhan Commander wants to do, mainly to listen to your ideas on the decisive battle of the Japanese army in Xuzhou and the deployment of the battle. "Li Delin first opened the show and directly pointed out the topic of the meeting.

"According to the resolution of the Military Commission, we will fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Xuzhou area, crush the Japanese army's strategic attempt to advance north and south, open up the Jinpu railway line, cut off the Longhai Road, capture Zhengzhou, and go south to Wuhan." Yang Jie said then.

decisive battle?

When Li Delin heard this word, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He and Yang Jie had a clear understanding of the current situation.

This is not a good time to fight the Japanese army. This is obviously not Yang Jie's original intention, so the only person who said this is the one who said it.

Thinking of this, Li Delin couldn't help but smile bitterly. When the military meeting was held in Zhengzhou, Chiang Kai-shek once talked to him. At that time, he issued a military order saying that he could hold on in Xuzhou for three months!

Now that three months have come, he has achieved this military order.

However, the situation is still unfavorable to China, and the Japanese army is unwilling to accept failure. They cannot bear the consequences of failure, so it is inevitable to increase troops.

To be honest, the purpose of opening up the second battlefield has been achieved. Dragging the Japanese army into the quagmire of a total war has a hint of vitality under the seemingly bad situation.

But hasteness is not enough. When Chiang Kai-shek saw the victory on the southern line of the Jinpu Road, his mind might be getting hot again. He actually wanted to fight the Japanese army in Xuzhou?

Leng Feng also heard that every word of this kind of meeting has special meaning.

In history, Chiang Kai-shek did have such an impulsive idea, but it was after the Taierzhuang victory that made him feel a little hot. He wanted to fight another battle in southern Shandong to eliminate the vitality of the Japanese army.

"The decisive battle in Xuzhou area is not yet ripe, right?" Zhang Xuchen, who was straightforward by nature, immediately expressed doubts.

"In view of the success of the plan to capture the wolf in the southern Jinpu line, the Japanese Central China Front Army suffered a great loss. The commander judged that even if the troops were increased from the country would not be able to be achieved in a short period of time, so it can be done from a time perspective." Lin Wei retorted.

Leng Feng opened his mouth slightly and wanted to speak, but closed his mouth again. The Japanese army had already increased its troops in Yangzhou, and a three-unit 15th Division came to Nanjing. Although it was just formed and brought over, these soldiers were retired or reserve veterans. One month was enough to make them develop combat effectiveness.`

On the other hand, training a recruit will take at least three months or even longer.

In Leng Feng's opinion, the longer the time delays will be detrimental to the Japanese army, and the Japanese base camp will not be out of sight. Although Japan blocked the news of its defeat on the southern line of the Jinpu Road, the arrogant Japanese army will definitely launch an attack again.

As long as the squadron wins once, confidence will increase by one point, but if the Japanese loses once, it is not a matter of morale. Therefore, Japan must continue to win this war, otherwise, their domestic opposition will arise.

"How long does it take for us to fight this battle?"

"Conservatively estimated to be three months."

"If there are three months, time is enough. What is the commander's consideration?" Sun Zhen asked.

"The commander's intention is to concentrate 300,000 to 400,000 troops to fight a major annihilation battle in Xuzhou, eat up the main force of two or more Japanese divisions, and force the Japanese government to sit down with the government to negotiate or other more favorable changes." Lin Wei said.

"Does 300,000 to 400,000 miscellaneous brands?"

As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. He said it was Pang Bingxun, the commander of the Third Legion. His self-deprecating tone made the atmosphere on the scene suddenly awkward.

"General Han Zhang cannot say that. Whether it is the Central Army or the local army, they are all national troops. Just like the Sichuan Army, they fought in Shanghai and Nanjing well. The Japanese army also said that the Sichuan Army is a tough guy!" Lin Wei praised the Sichuan Army for a little while, with a faint smile on his face.

Among the generals who were attending the meeting, it seemed that only Leng Feng had a relationship with the central government, and the others were local troops. The most powerful ones were the Guangxi clan led by Li Delin, and then the split Northwest Army generals, Northeast Army, Sichuan Army, etc.

Leng Feng noticed that the general whom he mocked just now was a thin little man. He had a small 30-seven-six-sized head, his face was not big, his lips were a little thick, and his eyes were always a little unstable.

Although he had thousands of photos in his mind, there were too many people after all, and the photos of that era were all black and white. If there were no obvious facial features, it would be really hard to recognize.

Who will it be?

Han Zhang, Shi Han Zhang, Leng Feng remembered that it turned out to be the famous "rebel general" Shi Yousan. No wonder he was qualified to attend such a meeting because his character was too bad.

He was mentioned by Lin Wei and praised the Sichuan Army. Sun Zhen couldn't help but straighten his back a little. The Sichuan Army died in great sacrifices when he left Sichuan and fought for the War of Resistance. It was thankless, but instead became a disgusting force. Now it has finally been renamed.

"Where did the 400,000 troops come from? Adding up all the troops in the Fifth War Zone, even if you count the chaotic and grooms, it is not enough for 400,000."

"General Pang, why don't we do a statistic?" Lin Wei said in his notebook. "The Third Army has 40,000 people, and the 11th Army's Li Heling headquarters has 15,000 people..."

The troops in the Fifth War Zone were reported one by one by Lin Wei. After counting Leng Feng's honorary first division, there were about 250,000 troops in the Fifth War Zone.

Five or sixty thousand more people came than when the Fifth War Zone was established.

Of course, when fighting with the Japanese army on the southern line of Jinpu Road for two months, the troops also suffered casualties, with more than 10,000 people in the early stage, and fewer casualties in the later stage, but the total casualties were also more than 20,000.

With the casualties of the Northern Front, all the troops in the entire Fifth War Zone were about twenty-five.

If the commander-in-chief imagines, at least one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand troops must be withdrawn from other places to the Fifth War Zone.

The 400,000 troops are almost one-fifth of the entire squadron at this moment, and they are all elite troops. Once they are defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After a little rest, the combat troops on the southern Jinpu Road will gradually transfer northwards one after another. Now they threaten the North China Front Army from the north, so they must strengthen the defensive power of the North Line.

"The commission is already actively dispatching troops and is preparing to remove three divisions from Lu Xiong's Yunnan Army in the next month to head north. In addition, the 20th Army Tang Enbo's unit can also join the ranks of the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone at any time, so there is no need to worry. As long as you can cause another heavy blow to the Japanese army in Xuzhou, it will be worth the cost."

How to allocate and command the 400,000 troops, what tactics to use, and how to fight the battle, is the matter in the Fifth War Zone, and Lin Wei came with the request.

Regardless of the specific deployment, he still needs to propose the fifth war zone.

It is still feasible to fight an annihilation war, but if it is a decisive battle, then don’t think about it. There are still different opinions within the Japanese drama on whether to go to a full war with China.

They sway between cannibalism and quick victory, with considerable uncertainty in strategy.

"Dong De, can you talk about your opinion?"

"It is feasible for Chairman Chiang to concentrate his efforts to severely damage the Japanese army in Xuzhou area, but I do not agree with the decisive battle with the Japanese army in Xuzhou area. We have no capital to fight the Japanese army yet." Li Delin said with a thought.

Yang Jie nodded slightly. Li Delin was still sober. In fact, he did not agree with Chiang Kai-shek's idea of ​​a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Xuzhou. The huge gap in national strength between China and Japan must be a process of one's growth and the other's decline. It is undoubtedly a dream to try to win quickly.

If so many elite troops are transferred to the Xuzhou battlefield, once they are eaten by the Japanese army, the consequences will be disastrous. What should you do to defend Wuhan and Sichuan?

Songhu and Nanjing have already lost half of the elite troops in the state. If so many elite troops are lost, what will be the future to compete with the Japanese army?

In the Battle of Xuzhou, the strategic goal is not to annihilate the enemy, but to block the enemy and delay time. The rear factories and schools need to be relocated, and the recruits need to be trained.

This all takes time. The longer the time delays, the more beneficial it is to the battle situation.

In fact, in Xuzhou, 200,000 troops are enough. As long as the command is properly, you can still hold on for more than three months. In another three months, the first batch of 600,000 recruits will be trained.

After hearing Li Delin's words, Lin Wei did not show any dissatisfaction on his face, and he was not unaware of the situation. Since he replaced Qian Dajun as the director of the attendant's office, he realized that this position was really difficult to do. He did not even think about it, and he still had severe insomnia every day.

The battle situation is beneficial on the surface, but the real crisis has just begun.
