Chen Cheng didn't comprehend what Qin Feng said, so he sighed and said, "Let's go to the headquarters and talk about it." “

In fact, the news of this victory has already spread like wings to most of China, and even well-informed European and American countries have known that the Chinese people are jubilant, and needless to say, international public opinion has also undergone great changes.

Walking into the headquarters, although the stars were shining in the room, the atmosphere was very depressing, and the chairman's face was very ugly, Qin Feng realized that the survival of a division was not enough to make the chairman so, but he was afraid that something bigger would happen.

"Take a look at these two telegrams, one is from the Military Command Bureau, and the other is from Xue Yue," although the chairman's tone was very calm, Qin Feng saw a trace of throbbing in his eyes.

The telegram from the Military Command Bureau was to the effect that yesterday they had intercepted a telegram from the Japanese Eleventh Army, and Okamura Ninji asked Shunroku Hata to increase his troops again, and they wanted to expand the campaign and take advantage of the opportunity to seize Changsha.

Xue Yue's telegram directly explained this result, the Japanese army did not follow Qin Feng's bold assumptions, stopped at Matian Pass, an hour ago, the Japanese Second Division suddenly launched a fierce attack on our army's First Group Army, with the intention of attacking Changsha, the first group army two divisions could not be blocked at all, the first line of defense had been routed by the enemy, and there were no reinforcements in the rear, so please ask the chairman to decide.

Xue Yue's meaning was obvious, and now only the 19th Group Army could solve the crisis of the First Army Group, and at the very least, the original two divisions of the First Army had to be transferred back.

Because the chairman of the Lishui base was the commander-in-chief of the battle this time, Xue Yue certainly did not dare to withdraw the garrison force in the rear of Lishui without his consent.

Seeing Qin Feng's eyes left, the chairman of the telegram said: "In order to solve the urgent need, I have ordered the two divisions of the first group to rush back to reinforce now, now the question is Ziyi, do you think the Japanese army will really attack Changsha." “

"No," Qin Feng replied with certainty.

Chen Cheng echoed: "I also agree with Ziyi's opinion, the frontal enemy has suffered such a large number of casualties in the battle in front of him, and it is not bad to ensure the integrity of the organization, how can it be possible to launch such a large-scale battle again." “

Qin Feng smiled bitterly and told everyone that the smoke clouds laid by the Japanese army on the front line, the elite of the Japanese army may not have suffered much loss, and the airport is very likely to have been besieged by the Japanese army, and the special operations division has rushed to the rescue, what he is thinking about is not the strength of the Japanese army, but the way the Japanese army is attacking is not right and the time is not right.

Hearing Qin Feng say that the airport was besieged, Chairman of the Committee, Chief Chen, and Chief Bai glanced at each other, and they all understood that this was the consequence of their transfer back to the special operations division, but they all chose to lower their eyes, and no one wanted to mention this matter anymore.

Qin Feng saw these words in his eyes, but he didn't stop saying them.

If the Japanese army really wants to attack Changsha, it is meaningless to march all the way, if they put the 33rd Division in Yueyang and the 34th Division in the Tongshan area into the battlefield, they may be able to bluff people in terms of momentum, but if they want to attack Changsha, they will definitely not set the time of the attack at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, this time will lack suddenness, they can't fight for three or four hours, it will be dark, they can open a gap at most, but they leave us time to adjust the troops all night, the devil will not be so stupid, the only possibility is to take advantage of our temporary confusion, transfer the troops of the southern front to the northern front to support Changsha, but they took the opportunity to wave their troops and go straight to the rear of the Lishui base。

Qin Feng also asserted that at this time, the Japanese army in Jinhua must have begun to divert all the way to the airport, galloping all the way to Quzhou, and then attacking the Lishui base from both flanks.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Qin Feng's opinion, but Bai Chongxi picked up the baton from the table and turned to the large military map on the wall, and said at the same time: "Brother Ziyi, I have always admired your military talents, and I think that you are indeed more than one and a half stars better than me, but this time I think you may have a heart, In your eyes, it is all the Lishui base, and you have no time to think about it, or the base has affected your judgment, so you have not seen the situation of the whole war clearly, and now if the Japanese army attacks Changsha, it may have more advantages than the Lishui base, and the strategic significance goes without saying, once Changsha falls, the Lishui base will be self-defeating. “

Bai Chongxi waved his baton and drew a semicircle between Yueyang, Tongshan, and Quzhou, and continued: "On the entire defense line, I don't want to say whether the Japanese army can tear apart the defense line of Yueyang and Tongshan, just say that the periphery of Quzhou, now the Japanese army is holding the two heights of Laohuling and Matianao, as long as it advances more than ten kilometers forward, cut off the Zhuchang Highway, in front of the Dayushan, in the situation has divided the forces of Lishui and Changsha, the troops of the two places can only bypass the Dayushan, these dozens of kilometers of mountain roads have lost mobility, if the Japanese army will move all the forces of Jinhua to Quzhou, 100,000 troops stormed the defense line of our First Group Army, try to ask how long our First Army 50,000 soldiers can hold on, and our reinforcements have been blocked by the Japanese army in Lishui, either from the Zhuchang Highway forced through, or bypass the Great Yushan, I am afraid, etcWhen the reinforcements arrived, the Japanese army was already standing outside Changsha City, and at this time, the Japanese troops in Tongshan and Yueyang were advancing in unison, but I was afraid that it would be unstoppable. “

As soon as Bai Chongxi's voice fell, the command headquarters was in an uproar, more than half of the people agreed with his statement, obviously his words were more convincing, once the Japanese army really did not hurt the muscles and bones as Qin Feng said, the Lishui base at this time was undoubtedly a bone that they couldn't gnaw at all, why not retreat to the next best thing - to fight Changsha.

"I don't think it's possible that the Japanese army is still fighting the airport, if their strategic goal is Changsha, is it necessary for him to divide his troops to attack this division at the airport, and it is clear that he still covets the Lishui base and is ready to outflank the two wings," Chen Cheng stood up and said.

"Hehe, Brother Xiu, don't forget, there is also a remnant of the Japanese Ninth Division in front of the airport, maybe the Japanese army did have the intention of outflanking on both flanks, this Ninth Division is to sweep away the New Fourth Army and the 75th Division of our army on Jinggang Mountain, in order to ensure the safety of their rear, but now you see, if the Japanese army withdraws from Jinhua, the Ninth Division will advance and cannot retreat, and it will not be completely trapped here, so the Japanese army must take the airfield and rescue the Ninth Division."

Bai Chongxi's words made Chen Cheng speechless, in terms of military talent, Chen Cheng was indeed inferior to Bai Chongxi, so he had to look at Qin Feng.

But Qin Feng's eyes were blank, as if he didn't care about what they said at all, Chen Cheng had no choice but to knock on the table in displeasure, and Qin Feng looked at everyone as if he had just woken up from a dream.

To be honest, Bai Chongxi's words gave Qin Feng a great shock, he even thought that the Japanese army was really going to fight Changsha, his stubbornness was just because he knew this period of history, and in another ten days, the Japanese army would have a big battle with the Soviet army on the Manchurian-Mongolian border, and now it should have entered a state of preparation.

But he couldn't tell if the pattern of the war would change because of his arrival, and he couldn't see what Okamura Ninji's true intentions were.
