In the Battle of Changsha, because northern Jiangxi had stabilized, the battle situation was all transferred to southern Hubei and northern Hunan, and as both sides began to fight to the death, the battle was very fierce.

However, despite the fierce battle, the Japanese army lost its strength because of the stalemate for a long time, while the defenders were in good order, so in the overall situation, the Japanese army was suppressed.

However, although the Japanese army was at a disadvantage, after all, there was still a living force, and there were still three main divisions and regiments, so it would take some time to wear off if they wanted to take it completely.

Judging from the current situation, if you want to completely take the Japanese army or defeat it, I am afraid it will take ten days and a half months.

Now is not the time for a general offensive!

So, in such a situation, the two sides are in a stalemate.

In a stalemate, in order to compete for a certain position or high ground, the Chinese and Japanese troops often form a tug-of-war, constantly seizing back and forth, and every battle is extremely difficult and fierce.

And often in order to seize a position, they have to pay a very big price.

The battle line of the little devils is too long, and it is not easy to transport supplies, so it is very difficult to fight, and on the defenders' side, although the situation is slightly better, it is not really easy.

Especially in the fierce battle of 300,000 troops, the materials needed every day are calculated in a massive amount, once the stalemate with the Japanese army, the loss is even more endless, on the surface, the defenders are still abundant, but in fact it is already a little stretched!

However, General Xue Yue was calm and relaxed, and he was not worried!

In his opinion, our army is already stretched, and the Japanese army wants to be more difficult, now in this situation, their side only needs to fight steadily, the Japanese army will definitely not be able to hold on, so now the fight is to see who can calm down!

If anyone can calm down, they can not be negligent, they can wait for the opportunity, but if they can't hold their breath, once they are eager for quick success, it is easy to be found by the other party.

Therefore, General Xue Yue is very calm, sits in the general headquarters, commands moderately, and does not mess up at all.

The General Headquarters of the Changsha Battle of the Ninth Theater, the command post of General Xue Yue.

General Xue Yue was discussing strategies with a group of staff officers in the command headquarters, and their faces were not nervous, but calm, and they seemed quite at ease.

"Commander-in-chief, act according to the plan we have formulated before, advance steadily and steadily, the Japanese army should not be able to hold out for long, and the Japanese army will definitely fight hard at that time, and once they do this, there will definitely be a great chance of mistakes, and at that time, it will be the time for us to lay the foundation for victory and defeat in one fell swoop!"

A staff officer looked at the sand table, smiled on his face, and said loudly.

"Not bad!" Hearing this, General Xue Yue chuckled lightly and said: "In this way, we will be able to win this battle smoothly, and even if the Japanese army is not well planned, maybe it can still inflict heavy losses on them, even if one or two divisions are left!" ”

"But before that, before the final result appears, there will still be great variables, so you must not be negligent, so as not to be drilled by the Japanese army!" General Xue Yue admonished.

"Commander-in-chief, please rest assured, after all, we have been working hard to keep an eye on this matter, and we will definitely not let the Japanese army take advantage of the loophole!" All the staff officers said in unison.

"It's good this way!" Speaking of this, Xue Yue couldn't help but smile, and said with a little emotion: "There are still ten days and a half months to see at most, and when the dust settles, it will be the time of the victory in the Battle of Changsha, and all kinds of planning and countless plans are for this day!" ”

General Xue Yue was full of emotion in his heart.

From the start of the Battle of Changsha to the present, for this result, he has made countless calculations, and every day he is exhausted and does not dare to relax in the slightest, in order to win this battle, and now he finally sees great hope, he is naturally emotional.

"Yes! These days, the commander-in-chief has put in a lot of effort, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief! Hearing Xue Yue's words, these staff officers around him also said with emotion.

These days, as the staff officers of the general headquarters, they have seen with their own eyes that their commander-in-chief can't even take care of rest every day for the sake of the battle situation, and all his thoughts are on this, and even in order to facilitate the command, he also put a marching bed in the command center, and the effort paid can be described as great.

Every time I think of this, I can't help but feel a little admiration in my heart.

With such a commander-in-chief, if this battle is not won, it will be unreasonable.

Hearing this, Xue Yue laughed: "Although the general trend has been achieved, but we still can't slack off, not to mention, if you want to completely besiege the Japanese army, you still need to make some changes, otherwise, with the current position of the Japanese army, if you see that they can't support it, you can withdraw at any time, in that case, even if you win this, the result will be much smaller, but this is not what I want to see!" ”

General Xue Yue's ambition is very great, he commanded 300,000 troops in the Battle of Changsha, not only to repel the Japanese army, but more to leave all the Japanese army behind, even if it can't all stay, but also to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army, at least not to let the Japanese army retreat safely!

Although a 106th division had been annihilated before, in the opinion of General Xue Yue, the results were still insufficient!

If you can leave one or two divisions behind, it will be worth the trip!

Thinking of this, General Xue Yue pondered for a moment, and then said: "Now that the situation is clear, our army has achieved the general trend, and we can already act according to the plan we made before!" Spread the word on your side, and let all the departments coordinate to lure the Japanese army in, don't let them run away! ”

Hearing this, these staff officers present all glanced at each other, and then said together: "Yes! ”

After accepting it, these staff officers were all in good spirits, and even their eyes brightened a little.

You must know that the plan that General Xue Yue said was extraordinary, but it was a decision that had been made before the battle began.

This plan was put forward by General Xue Yue at a military conference held in Changsha before the previous battle began, and was approved by all the generals present, and it was implemented.

Originally, it was intended to be implemented, but later because of the Battle of Northern Jiangxi, it went very smoothly and the 106th Division was completely annihilated as desired, so this plan has not yet been launched.

But now, what General Xue Yue wants to do is to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army, or even leave all of them in Changsha, and this plan can naturally be laid out.
