Chapter 608: The Second Battle of Wuhan

It took a long time for Qin Feng to open his mouth and announce the latest operational deployment of the Military Commission, with more than 1.2 million troops of the 98th Infantry Division in the three theaters, to launch a massive counterattack on all fronts - the Second Battle of Wuhan, the strategic purpose of which was to cut down the Central China Dispatch Army and recover Wuhan and Nanchang

As soon as this news came out, almost a trace of joy flashed in the eyes of the senior staff officers and generals of the entire command headquarters, but they immediately returned to calm. Maybe in their opinion, this is a great thing, and they should take advantage of the great opportunity to counterattack on all fronts to recover the great mountains and rivers, but thinking of Qin Feng's performance when he entered the door, everyone invariably chose to wait and see.

How? Do you think this is an excellent period to beat the Japanese invaders? Qin Feng's eyes swept the audience like torches.

Deputy Army Commander Zhang Quming stood up and said: "Commander, although the Japanese are fighting fiercely, our army and even the entire Ninth Theater have suffered heavy casualties and strategic materials have been exhausted, but the Japanese army is not much better than us. At the same time, various sources of intelligence have proved that the Japanese army's plan to advance northward has been launched, and a war with the Soviet Union is inevitable, and the Japanese army is completely unable to take care of the Central China battlefield, otherwise the two divisions would not have been surrounded by our regiments and indifferent.

Chief of Staff Zhang Quanfa also stood up and said: I agree with Brother Siyuan's point of view, didn't the Soviet Union provide weapons and ammunition? We also have air power, the United States has also signed a contract for a loan of 300 million yuan, and all kinds of materials will be continuously delivered in a steady stream, as for the troops, the most important thing we in China is people, and the military seat probably doesn't know it, yesterday alone, Sun Xing recruited tens of thousands of soldiers in Changsha, and all of them are in good physical fitness, relatively smart, and none of them are poor. So, I think this battle has to be fought.

As soon as these two people spoke, the command headquarters immediately became lively, and every word you said and I said was basically in favor of fighting.

Qin Feng slammed the table, and everyone calmed down.

Qin Feng smiled bitterly: It seems that I am the only one in China who does not approve of fighting this battle, at first I thought that the masters of the Military Commission were crazy, but now it seems that I am sick, and I am not lightly ill......

Qin Feng was speechless for a moment, suddenly raised his voice, and said: But I am very sober, the war potential of the Japanese army is at least ten times higher than ours, our ammunition is still in the Soviet Union, and people are now at war with the Japanese army, whether this weapon and ammunition can be transported is still a problem, and it is also a question when the supplies from the United States will arrive, and now there is news that the Japanese army has secretly transported more than a dozen divisions to the battlefield in Central China, but our military elite knows nothing about it, okay, I will take it as a fake news, even if we can take Wuhan, At least three months, right? But do you know that the Japanese navy can transport troops to China in less than 10 days, and land from Hangzhou from Shanghai, and reach any front line in less than three days. I also tell you, don't underestimate them, the Japanese are still martial, they have been conducting military training since elementary school, instilling militaristic ideas, in their eyes to be able to be loyal to their emperor is an extremely glorious thing, on the other hand, our new soldiers, although the number is huge, but the military quality is almost equal to zero, is a group of outright peasants, many are still captured strong men, they have no intention of fighting at all, do you say we can win this war?

Qin Feng's words made everyone silent for a while, only Zhang Sandong muttered in the corner: According to what you say, let's not fight, just wait for the death of the country, right?

Qin Feng was not angry, and took his words and replied: Fight! We will definitely fight, but now is not the time, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has no time to take care of anything else, we are vigorously stepping up the training of troops, vigorously developing industry, within two years, we are absolutely enough to compete with the Japanese army head-on, in the case of the Lishui base, within two years our aircraft and tanks will be able to produce on a large scale, and even many new weapons will be born, the enemy will knock out one of our planes, and the base can produce one immediately, instead of now, the enemy will kill us one and we will have one less, and even one less part of the plane will not be able to go to the sky, We still have to wait for the aircraft-producing countries to hurry up and send parts over, and after a few more battles, I don't know how many of these 100 planes will be able to fight in the sky.

Zhang Quming said gloomily: According to the military seat, we really can't fight this battle, but didn't you explain these words to the commanders?

Qin Feng said hatefully: Explanation? Hmph, I almost tried my tongue, but those corpse vegetarian food members just refused to listen to a word, and almost didn't cure me of the crime of fear of war!

I think you can report this to the commission in person, I think he can still listen to your words a little? Zhang Quanfa said.

Chief of Staff, don't be naïve, can't you see that all this was personally deployed by him?

Now it seems that we have no other way but to face the battle, and what are your chances of winning this battle?

Chance? One Chengdu no? Qin Feng replied affirmatively.

Yes...... How much loss will that bring to our army? Is there a way out? Zhang Quming said hurriedly.

Once the war starts, the best result is that the third theater is completely annihilated, and the worst result is that the three theaters are basically disabled, and the Japanese army takes advantage of the situation to seize Changsha! Directly threaten the rear of the South-West. Unless the Japanese army won a complete victory on the Manchurian-Mongolian border, invaded the Soviet Union on a large scale, and voluntarily abandoned the Chinese battlefield, there was no solution. Qin Feng Dao.

Yes......

Command was in an uproar.

Zhang Sandong asked in a loud voice that was higher than everyone else: "Junzao, what is our task?"

The noise immediately stopped, and that was also their concern.

Qin Fengdao: Our mission this time is to annihilate the Japanese Sixth Division and the Ninth Division as soon as possible to ensure stability in the rear. At the same time, the 75th Army was on our left flank and the Fifth Army was on our right flank, pinning down the Japanese 104th Division and preventing them from supporting Xiushui, Yongxiu and other places. Do everything possible to destroy them, if the enemy's 104th Division retreats into the city of Nanchang, we will gather the forces of three armies to attack Nanchang and seize Nanchang by chance.

Zhang Quanfa said: "Military seat, without further ado, should we immediately give Xu Wei, Ding Chenglai and Zhang Xiangwu an attack order?"

No, this is not in a hurry for the time being, you just said that Sun Xing recruited tens of thousands of recruits yesterday? Qin Feng Dao.

Yes, it's tens of thousands! Zhang Quanfa replied affirmatively.

Okay, hand them all over to Zhang Xiangwu, a veteran with a new soldier, I will use the ninth division and the sixth division to train the troops! Qin Feng Dao.
