General Li Delin felt that Yang Chen's analysis was very reasonable, and after pondering for a while, he continued to ask: "Since Commander Yang has analyzed the battle situation so thoroughly, there must be a way to deal with it, right?"

Yang Chen looked at General Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng, and said with a faint smile: "In fact, the so-called method of response, the two commanders should have known it in their hearts, and Xuzhou can't hold it just by guarding."

As long as we can preserve our own vitality, we can destroy as many enemies as possible.

Drain the enemy's living force and win!

To put it mildly, if the military exploits made in the Shanxi battlefield with a lowly position, if the lowly position is willing, it can be like a banner and stay in the rear for development.

There is no need to tie your head to the waistband of your pants and come to the front line to fight bloodily.

As long as the resume arrives, promotion to knighthood is a matter of course.

The reason why I am willing to move from the Shanxi battlefield to Xuzhou is to assist the commanders in destroying as many of the living forces of the Japanese army as possible.

With our country's current military strength, to put it mildly, it is completely impossible to be an opponent of the Japanese army.

This is not to boost the morale of the enemy and destroy one's own prestige.

It is just a fact, because only by daring to admit the strength of the enemy and recognize our own shortcomings can we have the possibility of defeating it.

Especially in the eastern part of our country, the terrain is relatively flat, which is very favorable for the march of the Japanese mechanized troops.

At the same time, it was close to the coastline, and the Japanese naval forces could support it at any time, which was also convenient for the Japanese army to increase its troops.

So our chances of victory are even slimmer.

What we have to do now is, in addition to consuming the living forces of the Japanese army as much as possible, in fact, exchanging space for time.

Japan has a small land area and a small population, and in terms of war potential and general mobilization potential, it is far inferior to China's vast territory.

Moreover, when it reached the western hills and mountains, it was difficult for the Japanese mechanized troops to exert their full power, and it was difficult for the Japanese navy to provide effective support.

At that time, it will be the real time to defeat the Japanese army.

Resisting Japan is a matter for the entire Chinese nation.

We need to unite all the forces that can be united, and mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized!

Only in this way can we truly and completely win this holy war! ”

Yang Chen's words seemed to be a bit of an elevation of his intentions, but everyone present knew that what he said was by no means a lie, and even said it was very low-key and euphemistic.

Because the chairman of the committee does have the intention of leaving it in the rear, as a hero, a benchmark and a banner.

After all, with the military exploits and prestige of Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan, as long as there is a little publicity, you can call on countless good men to join the army and serve their family and country!

The existence of the Tiger Regiment not only destroyed the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army, but also greatly boosted the morale of the officers and men of the three armies.

Even, in a certain way, it is greatly advantageous to leave the Tiger Regiment in the rear.

If this Ares force is defeated by the Japanese army, or even completely annihilated, it will inevitably greatly damage the morale of the officers and men of the three armed forces in China.

Therefore, the chairman wanted to leave Yang Chen and his tiger group in the rear, in addition to intending to use his prestige, he also meant to protect him.

In addition, Yang Chen's words are also very clear, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and I will definitely not be able to fight hard.

The general trend is inevitable, and there is no absolutely effective way to deal with it.

At present, the Chinese army can only exchange space for time, resist layer by layer, and constantly consume the vital strength of the Japanese army.

They can't easily occupy every part of the country, and they have to pay a price for every step they take.

If you continue to consume like this, you will win!

General Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and they both saw a look of understanding in each other's eyes.

Obviously, Yang Chen's analysis just now coincided with what they were thinking.

However, the battle has not yet reached the point where it can no longer be held.

It was impossible for General Li Delin to ask the chairman to retreat now, so he raised his glass to Yang Chen and praised: "Commander Yang is very strategic and has an unlimited future in the future.

Based on your analysis, I will remind the chairman to strengthen the defense of Lanfeng and other places, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Although the enemy is strong and we are weak, we must also rise up and resist and persist until the last moment, so that every time the little devil takes a step forward and eats away at my territory, we must pay the price of blood!"

Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully: "The chief is reasonable!"

General Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng are both smart people, and some things are not beautiful when they talk too much.

Not in his position or in his own politics, Yang Chen has done his best to eliminate as many devils as possible, and has done a lot of things that are beneficial to the battle situation.

Next, the Tiger Ben Regiment should have a good rest and prepare for the next stage of the battle.

Regardless of whether Xuzhou can hold on or not, it is foreseeable that there will be a battle here.

It's time to ask, it's time to say, and the next banquet is pure drinking and eating meat.

After everyone was full of wine and food, Yang Chen said goodbye to Li Bai and Li Bai with Wang Gui and Rake Er.

He left the headquarters of the commander of the war zone and returned to his station.

Now not only are the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment tired, but the three of them are also almost exhausted.

Since they marched north from Chuzhou, they have marched back and forth for thousands of miles, and they have not been able to rest well for many days and nights.

Especially Yang Chen, since he rushed to Teng County, he has hardly closed his eyes.

Even if it is an iron body, it will not be able to bear it for a long time.

On the way back to the regimental headquarters, Rake Ear thought about what Yang Chen said at the dinner, and couldn't help asking: "Tuanzuo, the battle of Xuzhou, will we really be defeated?" ”

Yang Chen took out a box of Hibiscus King, handed one to Wang Gui, and handed it to the rake ear, but he refused: "Tuanzao, don't smoke in your humble position." ”

"Hahaha! Danza, did you drink high today? Rake ears are three good men, do not smoke, do not drink. After Wang Gui lit his eyes, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "A cigarette after dinner, happy like a fairy!" ”

"Isn't it? This smoke is the food of the spirit, and the wine is the sustenance of the soul! Therefore, this cigarette should be smoked and smoked, and this wine, he must drink it. ”

Yang Chen lit the cigarette in his hand, took a deep breath, put away the playfulness on his face, gradually became serious, and said as he walked: "The defeat of Xuzhou is inevitable, but we can eliminate as much of the Japanese army's vital force as possible to pave the way for the next war of resistance."

Wang Gui's expression was also solemn, and he nodded: "What Tuanzuo said is right, with the current strength of our army, it is almost difficult to reverse the defeat in Xuzhou.

Even if we combine the Fifth Theater of Operations, we can defeat the Japanese army in North China, but the strength of the Japanese army in Central China is more than a star and a half stronger than the Japanese army in North China.

Especially after the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, both the Central Army and the miscellaneous local armies suffered heavy losses and suffered great losses.

It is no longer able to engage in a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army, so our army should focus on defense, resist step by step, and slow down the Japanese attack, so as to slow down the fall of the entire East China.

In order to achieve the ultimate strategic goal of exchanging space for time and protracted war of resistance!"
