The reason for this is that the Japanese army's supplies are very empty. Due to the great difficulty of transporting large quantities of supplies from Japan to the front line of the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army did not have sufficient supplies to ensure a long-term offensive operation.

Bai Chongxi predicted that the duration of the Japanese army's offensive operations would definitely not exceed one month. Once this time is exceeded, the supplies of the front-line troops will be exhausted, and the rear will not be able to replenish on a large scale, so they can only retreat. Therefore, as long as the Nationalist Army begins to ensure that it will not fight a quick battle with the Japanese army, but will use part of the main force to contain the Japanese army, and grind to the time when the Japanese army's supply consumption is about the same, the combat effectiveness of the two sides will change significantly.

Emptiness means that the Japanese army's current offensive is to cut flesh and mend sores, and once an offensive operation is launched, it must draw garrison troops from the rear, so that the rear will be empty.

As long as the national army behind the enemy took advantage of the situation to attack, the Japanese army could only suspend the frontal attack and return to the rear garrison. Even if the Japanese army does not suspend the offensive for the time being, it will not be able to completely ignore the rear, and it will inevitably withdraw troops to return to the defense. Therefore, in fact, the Japanese army was in the stage of stalemate, which was very unfavorable.

Blindness means that the Japanese army entered our country as an aggressor, burning, killing, prostituting and plundering all kinds of evil, and the people hated them bitterly, although some shameless traitors cooperated with them, on the whole, he could not get the support of the people.

When fighting on the front line, the Japanese army could not get a reliable situation, and they were often blind and blind. During the Battle of Wanjialing in Wuhan, it was because the 106th Division could not get the guidance of the common people that it got lost in the Wanjialing area, and was finally almost annihilated by the national army.

During the breakout of the Battle of Xuzhou, thanks to the help of the common people, hundreds of thousands of troops of the national army successfully broke through the gap in the Japanese encirclement, and not even a single captain was caught.

In a series of operations, thanks to the support of the people, the intelligence work of the national army was very good, and it also knew the situation of the Japanese army very well.

The arrogance lies in the fact that the Japanese army despises the national army relatively lightly, and in this way, it is inevitable that there will be certain erroneous deployments. In the specific use of troops, there may be a situation in which the combat effectiveness of the national army is underestimated and the weak attack the strong is attacked.

The Battle of Taierzhuang was because the Japanese army despised the combat effectiveness of the national army and blindly went deep alone, resulting in the collapse of the whole front. And the victory of Wanjialing in the Battle of Wuhan is also for this reason. Therefore, as long as the Japanese army still maintains this mentality, the national army will have a very good chance. ”

After listening to Han Xing's polemic between China and Japan, Xue Yue nodded and said: "Thoroughly, thoroughly, your words really speak to my heart." It's a pity that among the generals of the Chinese army, there are not many people who can see it so thoroughly. Commander Han, what do you think of the current Battle of Changsha, and could you please tell us? ”

Han Xing thought for a while and said: "The Japanese soldiers are attacking Changsha in three ways, and the right flank does not have to worry about it, because the Japanese 101st Division and 106th Division are being besieged by the Northern Jiangxi National Army on all sides. This path of the left wing, now it seems, the crisis has also been somewhat lifted. The 11th Brigade of the Japanese Navy suffered heavy losses in our air raids, and the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army also suffered losses and its strength was greatly reduced.

As long as the 70th Army blocked the camp a little and then blocked it layer by layer along the Xiangjiang River, it was indeed a bit delusional for the Japanese army to fight to Changsha.

Now look at the middle road, in terms of terrain, the line from Yueyang in Hunan to Changsha is exactly the most suitable terrain for defense. Just like Okamura Ninji said before, from Yueyang to Changsha, the east is the Shogunate Mountain, Jiuling Mountain and other mountain ranges, which are natural obstacles, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult for the Japanese army to break through.

To the west are Dongting Lake and the Xiangjiang River, and it is difficult for the Japanese army to break through effectively. Then, the only suitable for the advance of the large army is the middle road, that is, the straight line from Yueyang to Changsha. Unfortunately, this line is also not suitable for attack. This line is all hills and mountains, and although it is not as dangerous as Guangxi and Sichuan, it also poses many obstacles to the attacking side.

What's more, Hunan doesn't just have mountains, but also a lot of rivers. From Yueyang to Changsha, from north to south, there are rivers including the Xinqiang River, Miluo River, Laodao River and other rivers as natural obstacles, and the Japanese attack is even more difficult. Therefore, the terrain can weaken the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army by 30 percent.

If the Japanese army retreats at this time, the national army will follow and pursue, then it will not only hold the Hunan defense area, but also cause losses to the Japanese army, which is completely in line with the meaning of a protracted war. If the Japanese army continues to advance in a vain attempt to occupy Changsha and other places, then we will concentrate superior forces near Changsha and deal a decisive blow to the Japanese army when they are sleepy and weak. ”

Hearing Han Xing talk about the military situation in Changsha like this, Xue Yue high-fived and said, "Okay! Good! Good! I heard that Commander Han analyzed the military situation in Changsha so incisively. It seems that Commander Han has long had the military situation in Changsha in his chest. I, the commander of the Ninth War Zone, can't do it, and I should have given it to you Commander Han a long time ago. ”

Han Xing knew that Xue Yue was modest, and hurriedly said greetings: "Where, where, shame on the little brother." I'm just selling the three-character scripture in front of Confucius, Lu Ban getting a big axe in front of him, and playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong. ”

Not only Xue Yue listened to Han Xing's analysis and admired, but even Li Jue, the commander of the 70th Army, was so impressed that he also felt very confused about the Changsha war. He also high-fived him and said:

"I can't think of it, I can't imagine that Commander Han still has such a set. It turned out that I couldn't think of two of them, and now I can't think of two more. One could not have imagined that the artillery of the Southern Expeditionary Army was so powerful, and the other was that Commander Han had such a clear view and analysis of the current battle in Changsha. ”

Xue Yue interjected and said, "Oh, then, you can't think of what those two can't think of. ”

Li Jue said again that he couldn't think of the original two.

Xue Yue laughed out loud after hearing this, and said, "Then, the old man also shows off, why can your Southern Expeditionary Army always win battles?" ”

"Oh," Han Xing was also interested at this moment, and asked, "Would you like to hear it?" ”

Xue Yue also said unhurriedly: "Compared with the Japanese army, you are faster, sharper, harder, denser, harmonious, and more solid than the Japanese army, how can you not win the battle."

How so? First of all, it is fast, from Luxi Liaocheng to the front line in northern Jiangxi, you use transport planes, that is, in three days, all the personnel and equipment will arrive. From Shangfu in northern Jiangxi to Yingtian, your vanguard arrived in less than an hour by helicopter.

Speaking of Rui, you are the Air Force, artillery, tanks, and advanced light weapons, which have powerful attack power. Let's take the battle of Yingtian just now, the powerful 11th team of the Japanese army is almost vulnerable under your air raids.

There is also the hard, in the battle of Wuhan, whether you hold the battle in Dabie Mountain, or the battle in Wharf Town, you would rather die than retreat, although you have suffered heavy losses, you will also hold on to the end until a new order arrives to retreat, or wait for the supporting troops.

There is also the secret, although the number of your southern expeditionary army is not large, at most only 3,000 people, but these 3,000 people form a fist. You attacked several Japanese airfields and attacked Japanese concentration camps, all of which were fought by concentrating forces.

And then there is, you have a modern air force, a powerful artillery regiment, an army and a tank battalion, a mortar battalion, and a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, these weapons cooperate with each other, and no matter how powerful the enemy is, in the face of these powerful mechanized troops, it will crumble and be vulnerable. Your Xuzhou Air Battle, Wuhan's Water Battle, and the Battle of Dongting Lake should all be included in the exemplary battle examples for military academies to study.

Besides, I know that your special operations battalions and tank battalions sometimes suffer great losses, but they can be replenished soon. Like the special operations battalion, which suffered heavy losses in any vicious battle, it can quickly replenish troops from the follow-up troops and quickly restore its combat effectiveness. ”

After Xue Yue finished speaking, he glanced at Han Xing, which meant: "I'm right!"

After Han Xing heard this, his face turned red, this Xue Yue, who is not the commander of the Ninth War Zone, is so completely divided into the reasons for the victory of the Southern Expeditionary Army. Han Xing had no choice but to high-five and said, "Okay, good!" The analysis is good, and the strengths of the Southern Expeditionary Army are analyzed so thoroughly. ”

Of course, Li Jue also applauded his commander and said: "Commander Xue is not a genius, just now Commander Han analyzed the Japanese army, and at this moment, Commander Xue analyzed the Southern Expeditionary Army. It seems that the Southern Expeditionary Army is really superior to the Japanese army! ”

Xue Yue also modestly learned Han Xing's three sentences: "I am just selling the Three Character Scripture in front of Confucius, playing with a big axe in front of Lu Ban, and playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong." ”

The three of them discussed military affairs nervously, enthusiastically, and with great interest, while the sound of gunfire outside the command post was somewhat sparse. All three looked out through the windows of the command room.

The mixed fleet of the Japanese army entered the Xiangjiang River, which was nearly one and a half kilometers wide, from the vast Dongting Lake, and then attacked Yingtian. In the water, on the beach, there are densely covered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, layer upon layer, which is really "miserable". The position in Yingtian was basically well preserved because it was not hit by too much artillery fire from the Japanese army.

Li Jue of the 70th Army saw that Xue Yue and Han Xing had been tricked, and he hadn't had a chance to speak yet, so at this time, he hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity and also made a show off.

Li Jue said: "At present, Eiji Kondo of the 11th Sentai and Kano Uemura of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division have a trilemma. The first difficulty is that if the offensive continues, with the support of our powerful air force and artillery fire, they will be depleted of men, and they will be basically denied. The second difficulty is that they return to Yueyang to pull the second follow-up force to come for reinforcements, so their warships and motorboats are basically consumed, how to pull? The third difficulty is that they can't explain to Okamura Ninji, so they get dizzy and do some stupid things. ”

Han Xing wanted to laugh when he heard this, what kind of analysis is this, it's directly the truth!

And Xue Yue directly criticized Li Jue and said: "The analysis of the first two is correct, and the third is a bit far-fetched." ”

Several people were discussing military affairs, and one of Xue Yue's staff officers came in and said, "Report to Commander Xue, Chairman Jiang has called, and asked you to pick it up." ”

Xue Yue frowned when he heard this, now Xue Yue's biggest headache is not the war on the right wing, nor the war on the left wing, but the blind command from his top boss, Bai Chongxi, the director of the Guilin camp. At this time, Chairman Jiang called again, and there was definitely nothing good about it.
