Lao Jiang suddenly turned the topic to the war situation, which made Chen Bui secretly relieved, he was very worried that Sun Yumin would accept something without careful consideration, and then completely overturn and break the balance of power that was already slightly tilted, once it caused an unmanageable situation, he would become the target of public criticism at that time, don't look at this kid is now the most beautiful one in the current world, but once he loses power, I am afraid that all people will want to come up and step on two feet.

"President, although Yumin has made some accurate judgments, but such a military event, you still don't believe him too much, just listen, just listen."

Chen Bui's words did not make Sun Yumin angry, because he knew that this "father-in-law" was paving the way for himself. If he analyzes accurately, the ** army will win the battle, which is naturally excellent, but if the analysis is not correct, or even if the analysis is correct, but there is an unpredictable difference, whether there are such words to block Lao Jiang's mouth, it is a world of difference.

"Yan Ji, you've said so, does Yumin still dare to speak out?" How could Lao Jiang not understand the meaning of Chen Bui's words, he was a little displeased, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

Chen Bui was very embarrassed to say this, and his expression was a little embarrassed, but Sun Yumin hurriedly spoke out for him: "Chairman of the committee, Yumin is reckless, and he is willing to talk about his views on the development of the current war. ”

"Yan Ji, did you hear Yumin's words, compared with him, I found that you are a little timid."

Sun Yumin's words can be regarded as what Lao Jiang loves to listen to, his slightly frowning brows stretched, and he deliberately "ridiculed" Chen Bui.

Sun Yumin didn't know that this was a common thing for the master and servant, and he didn't say that Lao Jiang was really angry with Chen Bui.

Sun Yumin hadn't really thought too much about how to explain the current situation to Lao Jiang, although he was very aware of what was about to happen, and he also knew the importance of the upcoming battle, but he still didn't know where to talk about it.

Historically, after the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Hunan became an important supply base for grain, military resources and industrial resources in the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, especially rice, which almost became the most important production area to support the National War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

At that time, the Nationalist Government had moved its capital to Chongqing, the southwest, although the "Wenxi" fire in November 1938 burned Changsha City into a lonely city on the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, but because it was not far from Wuhan, and because it was the last gateway to the southwestern provinces, it became a strategic point repeatedly contested by China and Japan for a time. Both China and Japan have assembled their most elite troops here and confronted each other.

In the second Battle of Changsha, Anan was forced to return to the division to save Yichang, and gave up the Changsha City that had been captured, and he also lost a lot of himself, which made this hard-line militarist extremely angry, and he was bent on regaining the field, and vowed to capture Changsha.

On December 8, 1941, the Pacific War broke out, and on the same day, the Japanese 23rd Army began attacking Hong Kong, which was then a British colony.

In order to prepare for the British army to fight in Hong Kong, Lao Chiang ordered the provisional 2nd Army, the 4th Army, and the 74th Army near Changsha to move south and prepare to attack the Japanese army in Guangzhou.

Anan Yuji soon found out that the squadron was going south, and reported it to his old boss Shunroku Hatata, and after the military chess deduction of the staff headquarters of the Chinese dispatch army, he decided to preemptively attack the direction of Changsha to contain the transfer of troops of the squadron, and prepare to annihilate the main force of the Ninth Theater on both sides of the Miluo River.

After receiving the order to start the war, Anan Weiji believed that even if this battle could not completely hold back the squadron that was about to go south to attack Guangzhou, it would still pose a serious threat to the rest of the squadron in the Ninth Theater.

Of course, Sun Yumin could not directly tell Lao Chiang that in October 1941, the Japanese Konoe cabinet collapsed under the burden of the war, and Hideki Tojo became the new prime minister of Japan, and he decided to go to war against the United States, Britain and the Netherlands as soon as he came to power; He couldn't tell Lao Chiang bluntly that on December 8 of the same year, the Japanese Combined Fleet, led by Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, attacked Pearl Harbor, the U.S. naval base in Hawaii, and the Pacific War broke out. On the same day, the Japanese 23rd Army, with its headquarters in Guangzhou, also began to attack British-occupied Hong Kong.

Sun Yumin knew very well that on December 9, 1941, the day after the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor and the Japanese 23rd Army attacked British-occupied Hong Kong, Lao Chiang and the Chongqing Nationalist Government really announced an all-out war against Japan.

It's also embarrassing to say, Sun Yumin feels chilling when he thinks about it, he has been fighting with the devil for so long, and has sacrificed so many soldiers, the government actually doesn't dare to officially declare war on Japan, instead of waiting until the United States starts a war with Japan, he dares to really shout these words, how can such a corrosive national government not make him angry and resentful: he can't withstand the Japanese offensive, so he digs the Huayuankou embankment, so that millions of people have to be displaced and uprooted from their homes; In order to prevent the Japanese army from burning Changsha without harvesting, so that the people were killed and injured countless times, and the ancient city of 2,000 years was destroyed in one fell swoop; I was afraid that the New Fourth Army would grow stronger, and I actually concocted the Southern Anhui Incident, which made the relatives painful and the enemies happy! You must know what this rotten Chongqing Nationalist Government has done, and it is all the common people and the friendly forces that resist Japan who have suffered and suffered losses.

Although he had a lot of words and thoughts in his heart, Sun Yumin would not say it directly to the dictator in front of him, the only thing he could do, the only thing he wanted to say, was to remind and remind him that Anan would launch an offensive in December, and the best way to deal with the four elite divisions of the 11th Army participating in the offensive was to implement the "Heavenly Furnace" strategy.

After sorting out the ideas and directions that could be said, Sun Yumin spoke: "Chairman of the committee, Yumin believes that within two months, the Japanese army will relaunch its attack on Changsha. ”

"How can you be so sure?"

When Sun Yumin was pondering, Lao Jiang and Chen Bui just stared at him and didn't make a sound, but when Sun Yumin said this, he immediately asked this question.

In fact, Lao Jiang also knew that Anan Weiji would definitely be unwilling to lose, and there would be a battle in Changsha after all, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. Between the first Battle of Changsha and the second Battle of Changsha, there was a gap of more than a year, and this time it will be so fast? He didn't believe it a little, but seeing Sun Yumin's confident appearance, he had to believe it.

"Because Anan is the only one." Sun Yumin naturally wouldn't tell Lao Jiang that the real reason was because of the Japanese army's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and the United States declared war on Japan because of this, and he could only put the reason on Anan Weiji. "Although this person is older, he is an extremely hard-line militarist, and he was damaged on both sides when he first took office, which will naturally make him very faceless in the Japanese army, and no one will swallow this breath, let alone Anan Wei. As far as I know about the Japanese army, it will only take two months at most for the Japanese army to replenish the supply of troops, draw up the battle plan, prepare the materials, and mobilize the troops to participate in the war, so I am sure that the Japanese army will definitely launch an offensive in mid-to-late December. In fact, Sun Yumin clearly knew that the date of the third Battle of Changsha was December 24, and the reason why he said mid-to-late was just that he didn't want people to think that he was a "monster".

Hearing this, Lao Jiang and Chen Bui couldn't stop nodding, this explanation is reasonable, and it is very possible, plus this is from Sun Yumin's mouth, they have seen and experienced it before, Sun Yumin's analysis and analysis of the battle situation is completely correct and in place, which adds a bit of credibility.

"And what do you think we should do?" Although Lao Jiang's words were a bit condescending in tone, Chen Bui and Sun Yumin both knew that he was already asking for advice.

"Chairman of the committee, Yumin thinks that since Anan is not willing to give up, we will beat him to death; Since Anan only thinks that he doesn't hurt when we beat him, then we will beat him to the bone marrow. ”

Sun Yumin expressed his attitude, and his toughness was a bit unexpected by Chen Bui, and even Lao Jiang was a little surprised.

"Hearing you say that, are you determined to win this battle?" Old Chiang couldn't wait to hear that someone dared to be so bold and tough in front of him, among the senior officers of the Central Army, there was no one else except Wang Yaowu who dared to ignore the Japanese army like this, and Wang Yaowu would not be like him, who was sure that he would win before the war started.

"Of course, if you can't win, what's the use of Yumin."

If someone else says this, don't talk about Lao Jiang, even Chen Bui will think that this is talking big, but look at the victories achieved in the past few years, how many battles are not participated in by this arrogant young man? In the battle of Changsha in the front line, this guy used the strength of one army to resist the two main divisions of the Japanese army alone, how many people can have this courage and courage?

"Good! Yumin, if it is really as you said, the Twelfth Army can really defeat Anan Weiji, and I will rebuild the Twenty Group Army for you. Sun Yumin's confidence made Lao Jiang very happy, and he made a promise on the spot.

"President, Yumin is young, it is good that he has confidence, but Anan Weiji and his eleventh army are not so easy to deal with, so don't expect too much, in case you ......"

The conversation between Sun Yumin and Lao Jiang made Chen Bui frightened, and quickly poured cold water, which could be regarded as stopping himself, a "stupid son-in-law", and continued to press the burden on himself, but he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by force, and it was not Lao Jiang who interrupted him, but the "stupid son-in-law" who wanted to help leave a way back.

"No case, as long as Anan dares to launch an attack on Changsha, whether it is now or two months from now, I will also defeat him. If I break my promise, I am willing to be dealt with by military law. ”

Sun Yumin's words made Chen Bui shake his head constantly, and he made a special warning before he came, just because he was worried that he would say something that should not be said without thinking about it. I thought that after reminding him, he would remember, but I didn't expect this guy to be even more outrageous, and I don't know what stimulated him, just like falling into an evil spirit.

"Okay, Yumin, if you really do it, I, Jiang Someone, will also do what I say."

Seeing the dictator's face flushed with excitement because of his words, Sun Yumin suddenly had a sense of humor. The reason why he dared to pat his chest and speak like this was because he knew the trend of history and knew that in the Third Battle of Changsha, the Japanese army would suffer the greatest defeat and loss since the invasion of China. It is good to be able to win a battle, but when I think of the soldiers on the front line fighting bloodily and protecting the territory with their lives, but in the end, what they got was the great fortune of the four major families, and in exchange for the pain of losing the pillars of their families, he was a little bored, he had experienced too many such things in the past few years, and when Nanjing City was in danger, there were still people who dared to resell weapons and ammunition, which shows how crazy these people have been.

After Lao Jiang saw that Sun Yumin had finished expressing his confidence, his expression darkened, thinking that Chen Bui had made some small moves or made some kind of eyes underneath, so he glared at him, which made Chen Bui is face full of embarrassment, it was really a lie gun, but he didn't do anything.

"Yumin, can you tell me? If Anan Weiji attacks, how will you respond? Lao Jiang glared at Chen Bui, and immediately changed his smiling face and asked Sun Yumin.

"Absolutely." Sun Yumin responded with a smile, even if there was too much unhappiness in his heart, he still maintained his due attitude.

"Chairman of the Committee, Yumin believes that before starting the war, the first thing to do is to ensure that the rear of the Ninth War Zone is safe. As soon as the battle situation in northern Hunan opened, southwest Jiangxi naturally became our back, if the fierce battle was in full swing, let the Japanese army in Jiangxi come over and impact our back, the consequences would be unimaginable, so! When Sun Yumin said these two words, his tone was obviously heavier than the previous words.

"Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the southwest of Jiangxi is foolproof. You can order the defenders of the 19th Group Army in central Jiangxi and Gao'an to keep a close eye on the enemy in Nanchang, and if you find that they want to attack along the Hunan and Jiangxi roads, you must use the existing positions to deny the enemy. If you really can't resist it, you can maintain a bag-shaped posture and resist one by one near the upper heights in order to wear down and delay the enemy. Then, relying on the area, control the participation of the troops, focus on the southeast of Shanggao, counterattack the enemy army and annihilate it. If a war breaks out in the Nanchang direction, the advancing troops in northern Jiangxi will immediately attack and destroy the De'an-Nanchang line and the De'an-Anyi line. In the same way, if it cannot be resisted, it can be maintained in a bag-shaped posture like the high direction of Nanchang, and resist the vicinity of Tonggu one by one to consume and delay the enemy, and then rely on the area to control the participation of the troops, focusing on the southeast of Tonggu, counterattacking the enemy and annihilating it. ”

Although there was no map at the scene, Sun Yumin's ability at his fingertips made Lao Jiang and Chen Bui amazed. Especially Chen Bui, who was almost stupid, Lao Jiang said to him twice: "Go and get the map." He didn't hear it, and in the end, Sun Yumin gently pulled off his shirt to make him feel relieved.

The map was quickly taken and spread over on the coffee table, Sun Yumin pointed at the map with his hand for a while, repeated what he had just said, and said at the end: "Although the Japanese army in Jiangxi now has three and a half brigades, it is actually not too powerful, and the 34th Division of Dagamao, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, has been greatly injured in the battle of Shanggao, and it should not be too difficult to deal with!" ”
