Yucheng, Jiang's office.

Jiang was in his office, discussing things with a few of his confidants.

What was discussed was naturally the Battle of Changsha.

"Now that the situation is difficult, our army is also short of materials, and making such a decision is a last resort!" Jiang put the telegram in his hand on the table and said in a deep voice.

This message was the message sent by Xue Yue earlier.

"It's just...... I look at what Commander-in-Chief Xue said in the telegram that if this battle is carried out according to his plan, I am afraid that there will be a great possibility of inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army...... I'm afraid it will make Commander Xue anxious! Yu Jishi couldn't help but say.

Hearing this, Jiang shook his head and smiled, and couldn't help but say: "Xue Yue, this person, is so happy, he likes to exaggerate the facts the most on weekdays, even if there is a chance in this battle, but it is not as big as he said, on the contrary...... If there is negligence, the loss of materials and soldiers is small, and if the current good situation is buried in one fell swoop, it will be more than worth the loss! ”

"Rather than luring the enemy deep into Changsha for such a plan, it is better to make it steady and steady, even if it is impossible to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army in the end, it is also a great victory to be able to defeat the Japanese army!"

"What's more, in this Battle of Changsha, our army has also eliminated the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, and then Southern Hubei and Northern Hunan have a stalemate with the Japanese army, and a total of more than 10,000 enemies have been annihilated. Why seek greater results? Isn't this a lack of people's hearts and swallowing elephants?! ”

When he said this, Jiang couldn't help laughing.

Hearing this, Yu Jishi flashed his eyes imperceptibly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

In his opinion, although Xue Yue is so happy, but at such an important and critical moment, he will not lie, he should rely on it, but at this moment, his own commission has already sat down and decided, if he says it, he will inevitably have the suspicion of questioning the commission, if it provokes the commission, it will not be good!

But after thinking about it, he still planned to say it euphemistically, so as to say: "Having said that, but ...... The committee also knows that Commander-in-Chief Xue is stubborn, if he is unwilling, or even disobeys orders and insists on going his own way, what should he do? ”

"He dares!" Hearing this, Jiang Mou's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "If he really does this, then when this battle is understood, I can't tolerate him!" ”

When Yu Jishi heard this, he sighed imperceptibly, and wanted to say something, but at this time, he heard the commission say: "Okay, don't mention this matter again, if Xue Yue calls later, don't answer it!" So be it! ”

Hearing this, Yu Jishi knew that the commission had already made up his mind, and after thinking about it, he wanted to know that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only bow down slightly and say, "That is the case, then the humble post has been retired!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang waved his hand and motioned for him to take care of himself.

Seeing this, Yu Jishi left, and after leaving the door of Jiang's office, Yu Jishi couldn't help but take a deep breath, then slowly spit it out, glanced at the south, shook his head, but didn't say anything.

……

Next, Jiang really made a decision, no matter how many calls Xue Yue made, he was puzzled, which made Xue Yue hurriedly turn to the ants on the hot pot in the command center, but there was no way.

Seeing that the opportunity is fleeting, but the commission has such an attitude, it is clear that he is unwilling to take risks, what can he do?

As a last resort, Xue Yue had no choice but to call Mrs. Jiang and tell him all about the benefits, and wanted to ask Mrs. Jiang to speed up these words, but Mrs. Jiang did relay them, but she only got Jiang someone to send her a sentence of "Don't be impatient, wait for the opportunity", and then hung up the phone.

After getting this sentence, how could Xue Yue be willing?

So he called Jiang Someone again, but at this time, Jiang was harassed by Xue Yue many times, and he had no patience, but he ignored it.

Seeing this scene, Xue Yue finally felt completely cold!

Seeing that the time was about to come, if he was hesitating, once the time came, there would be no more chance, so Xue Yue finally made a phone call to Madame Jiang, in which he said: "Please tell Chairman Jiang that I, Xue Yue, have made up my mind, if the Japanese army takes another step, I will not care!" ”

After saying this, Xue Yue hung up the phone!

After Mrs. Jiang told someone Jiang about this, Jiang was shocked!

He didn't expect that Xue Yue really wanted to disobey the military order, and he was so anxious that he called General Xue Yue continuously, but Xue Yue treated him in the same way, did not answer the phone, and only asked the staff officers to delay and postpone to make excuses, and told the staff officers that if they came to ask, they would say that he had personally gone to the front line and did not know when he would be able to come back.

In desperation, Jiang had no choice but to let Bai Chongxi, then the director of the Guilin camp and the commander-in-chief of operations in the area south of the Yangtze River, and Chen Cheng, then the commander of the Ninth Theater, go to Changsha to convey the plan and assist Xue Yue in commanding the operation.

In Jiang's opinion, Chen Cheng is the commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, and Xue Yue is an acting commander, and as soon as Chen Cheng arrives, Xue Yue will definitely be restricted.

After Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng received the order, they drove to Changsha to fight, but when they arrived in Changsha, they were told that Xue Yue was not in Changsha City.

In desperation, he had no choice but to ask, originally the command was unwilling to tell him, but thinking of the identities of Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng, the staff officers of the command headquarters did not want to offend, so they had to inform General Xue Yue where he was at the moment.

The two hurriedly went to look for it, and finally met Xue Yue, who was commanding the operation, in the command post temporarily set up in the elementary school near a small station south of Lukou.

The two conveyed Jiang Yue's opinion on this battle to Xue Yue, but Xue Yue strongly disagreed.

He emphasized the advantages of his side in this battle, why didn't Bai Chongxi understand this?

It's just that he doesn't want to, and he can't help it.

In desperation, Bai Chongxi had no choice but to move out of Jiang and wanted him to obey orders.

However, General Xue Yue was in an open-minded posture, completely ignoring it, and said to Bai Chongxi: "My plan, once it succeeds, will definitely cause the Japanese army to suffer heavy losses, I have decided on this plan, and I will not regret it halfway!" ”

The quarrel between the two reached an impasse for a while, and Chen Cheng, who followed, felt that it would be useless to continue arguing like this, but a waste of time, and after discussing with Bai Chongxi, they decided to truthfully report Xue Yue's opinions and the battle situation they had seen to the commission, hoping that the commissioner would be able to think twice about it in order to make a new ruling.
