Chen Chen didn't understand what Jiang Haoran said, so he let out a long sigh and said, "Should we talk about it at the headquarters?"

The press conference has ended, and the reporters have already left to rush to release the press release. In fact, the news of this victory has already spread across half of China, and even the well-informed European and American countries know about it. The people of the country are rejoicing Needless to say, the encouragement, the international public opinion has also undergone great changes, these are things for later, let’s not list them for the time being.

Walking into the headquarters, although the room was full of stars, the atmosphere was very depressing, and the chairman's face was very ugly. Jiang Haoran realized that the survival of a division was not enough for the chairman to be like this, and he was afraid that something bigger would happen .

"Look at these two telegrams! One is from the Military Control Bureau, and the other is from Xue Yue!" Although the chairman's tone was very calm, Jiang Haoran saw a trace of throbbing in his eyes.

The general idea of ​​the message from the Military Control Bureau is that yesterday they intercepted a message from the No. 11 Army of the Japanese Army, Okamura Ningji asked Hata Shunroku to increase his troops again, and they wanted to expand the campaign and take the opportunity to seize Changsha.

Xue Yue's telegram directly explained this result. The Japanese army did not follow Jiang Haoran's bold assumption and stopped at Matianao. An hour ago, the Japanese Second Division suddenly launched a fierce attack on our army's First Army, and it was a big attack on Changsha. It means that the two divisions of the First Army can't hold back at all, the first line of defense has been defeated by the enemy, and there is no reinforcements from the rear to arrive quickly, please decide.

Xue Yue's meaning is obvious. Now only the No.19 Army can solve the crisis of the First Army Group, and at the very least, the two original divisions of the First Army must be transferred back.

Because the chairman of the 331 base is the commander-in-chief, of course Xue Yue dare not take away the defense force behind Zhuzhou without his consent.

Seeing Jiang Haoran's eyes leave the telegram, the chairman said: "To relieve the urgent need, I have ordered the two divisions of the first group to rush back for reinforcements. Now the question is, Haoran, do you think the Japanese army will really attack Changsha?"

"No!" Jiang Haoran replied with certainty.

Chen Chen echoed: "I also agree with Haoran's opinion. The frontal enemy has suffered so many casualties in the current battle. It is not bad to ensure the integrity of the establishment. How can we launch such a large-scale battle again?"

Jiang Haoran gave a wry smile, and told everyone about the cloud of smoke that the Japanese army had planted at the front. The elite Japanese army might not have suffered much loss, and You County was most likely besieged by the Japanese army. The problem is that the Japanese army attacked in the wrong way and at the wrong time.

Hearing Jiang Haoran talk about the siege of You County, the Chairman, Chief Chen and Chief Bai glanced at each other, and they all understood that this was the result of their transfer back to the Special Warfare Division, but they all chose to lower their eyes and no one was there. Want to mention this matter again.

Jiang Haoran saw these things in his eyes, but he didn't stop talking.

If the Japanese army really wants to attack Changsha, it is meaningless to march all the way. If they put the No.30 Third Division in Yueyang and the 34th Division in the Tongshan area into the battlefield, they may still be able to bluff people. But if they want to attack Changsha, they will definitely not set the attack time at three o'clock in the afternoon. This will lack suddenness, and it will be dark after three or four hours. The devils would not be so stupid. The only possibility is to take advantage of our momentary confusion and transfer the troops from the south line to the north line to support Changsha. They took the opportunity to swing their troops straight into the rear of Base 331 .

Jiang Haoran also asserted that at this time the Japanese army in Liling must have begun to divert, all the way to Youxian, all the way to aid Liuyang, and then attacked Base 331 from both wings.

Everyone nodded to express their agreement with Jiang Haoran's opinion, but Bai Chongxi picked up the baton from the table and turned to the large military map on the wall, saying at the same time: "Brother Ziqian, I have always admired your military talent, I think It is true that you outperform me by more than a little bit, but this time I think you may have the 331 base in your heart and eyes, and you have no time to think about it, or it may be that the base has affected your judgment, so you did not see the entire war situation clearly. Now if the Japanese army attacks Changsha, it may have more advantages than attacking Base 331. Needless to say, it has strategic significance. Once Changsha falls, Base 331 will be destroyed by itself."

Bai Chongxi waved his baton, drew a semicircle between Yueyang, Tongshan, and Liuyang, and continued: "The entire defense line, let me not talk about whether the Japanese army can tear through the defense lines of Yueyang and Tongshan, but only talk about the periphery of Liuyang." Now the Japanese army is guarding the two highlands of Laohuling and Matianao. As long as they advance more than ten kilometers and cut off the Zhuchang Highway, Dayu Mountain will be in front of them. Zhuzhou and Changsha have been separated in terms of the situation. If you want to support each other, you can only detour around the tens of kilometers of Dayu Mountain, and your mobility has been lost. If the Japanese army moves all the troops from Liling to Liuyang, and a hundred thousand troops storm the defense line of our first group army, how can I ask my second army? How long can a group of [-] soldiers hold on, and our reinforcements have been blocked by the Japanese in Zhuzhou. We must either force our way through the Zhuzhou-Changhai Highway or bypass Dayu Mountain. I am afraid that when the reinforcements arrive, the Japanese troops will already be standing outside Changsha City. At this time, if the Japanese troops in Tongshan and Yueyang advance together, they will be overwhelming and unstoppable."

As soon as Bai Chongxi's words fell, the headquarters was in an uproar, and more than half of the people agreed with his statement.Obviously, his words are more convincing. Once the Japanese army is really as Jiang Haoran said, and they are not injured, the 331 Base at this time is undoubtedly a bone that they can't chew. Why don't they retreat to the next best thing - to fight Changsha .

"I don't think so! Isn't the Japanese army still attacking You County? If their strategic target is Changsha, is it necessary for him to divide his forces to attack this division in You County? It is clear that he is still coveting Base 331 and preparing to encircle the two wings!" Chen Chen stood up and said. .

"Hehe, brother Cixiu, don't forget that there is still a remnant of the Japanese Ninth Division in front of You County. Maybe the Japanese army did plan to outflank the two wings at the beginning. The Ninth Division was to clear the Jinggang Mountains The New Fourth Army and the No.70 Fifth Division of our army came here to ensure their rear safety. But now you see, if the Japanese army withdraws from Liling, the Ninth Division will neither advance nor retreat. It is completely stuck here, so , the Japanese army must capture You County and rescue the Ninth Division."

Bai Chongxi's words made Chen Chen speechless. Chen Chen was indeed not as good as Bai Chongxi in terms of military ability, so he could only look at Jiang Haoran.

But Jiang Haoran's eyes were blank, as if he didn't care what they said at all, so Chen Chen could only knock on the table displeased, and Jiang Haoran looked at everyone as if he had just woken up from a dream.

To be honest, Bai Chongxi's words shocked Jiang Haoran a lot. He even once thought that the Japanese army was really going to attack Changsha, and his stubbornness was only because he knew this period of history. There was a big battle between the Mongolian border and the Soviet army, and it should have entered a state of preparation now. Can the Japanese army divide their troops to attack Changsha at this time?Although the attack on Changsha and the 331 base are both attacks, the time, troops and supplies consumed are far from the same level. Can the Japanese army still afford it?

But he also couldn't tell whether the pattern of the war would change because of his arrival. Soldiers are deceitful!At this time, he couldn't see clearly what Okamura Neiji's real intention was?
