Chapter 560: War Stalemate
In order to ensure tranquility on the northern border, Chen Jinghui agreed to Stalin's proposal to postpone the announcement of the surrender of the Soviet Union. In fact, he understood that Stalin was afraid that Germany would take the opportunity to attack the Soviet Union again, which would make matters worse.
After signing the surrender agreement with Stalin, Chen Jinghui prepared a state banquet to entertain Stalin and the embassy personnel. It wasn't until late at night that the group left. The next day Stalin flew back to the Soviet Union under the protection of the Chinese Air Force.
After getting rid of the Soviet Union, Chen Jinghui felt a lot more relaxed. In addition, he had injuries on his body, so he took the opportunity to take a few days off and compensated Tang Yan for a few days at home.
"Commander, the Commander-in-Chief is looking for you."
After the holiday, Chen Jinghui's injury was almost better, so he didn't be lazy and went to work directly. But as soon as he stepped into the office, he received an invitation from the commander-in-chief.
"Commander-in-chief, you're looking for me." There was no way, the boss looked for it, Chen Jinghui could only turn around and go directly to the commander-in-chief.
"Here, how's the injury?" The commander-in-chief saw Chen Jinghui and asked him about his injuries with concern.
"It's okay, it's almost fine, it's okay." Chen Jinghui patted his chest a few times and said.
"It's okay, let's take a look at this, Lao Peng just sent it back." The commander-in-chief took a telegram and handed it to Chen Jinghui.
"Well, what's going on."
Chen Jinghui took the telegram and read it, saying that in the past few days, the United States, Japan, and Germany have not moved, nor have they attacked, nor have they retreated. Commander Peng looked depressed, so he took the initiative to attack a few times, but they resisted fiercely. But they didn't take the initiative to attack, and they didn't take the initiative to provoke, so they looked at each other from their respective positions. Chen Jinghui didn't understand what the enemy meant, and his mind was full of doubts.
"I think the enemy may be ready to fight us for a long time. After such a long battle, they suffered heavy losses in their forces. And then there is the weaponry, and the losses are even greater. I think they've realised that they don't have the ability to break down our defenses with what they have now, so they're ready to switch to defense. It is likely that they are now each recruiting new recruits and then reinforcing the Middle East. The commander-in-chief said.
"Well, quite possibly. Not only will they not be able to break through our defenses, but they will also be unable to penetrate our defenses, but they will also affect their control of the Middle East. Chen Jinghui said.
"Well, the same as I judged. So tell me what we should do next, whether we will be at a stalemate or continue to attack them. The commander-in-chief asked.
"Don't worry, let's take a look at the situation in Southeast Asia first, you have Commander Li's report here." Chen Jinghui asked.
"Yes, it's all here." The commander-in-chief said, pointing to a stack of battle reports.
Looking at these battle reports, Chen Jinghui didn't wait, and sat down directly and began to look carefully. Busy with Soviet affairs these days, he did not pay much attention to the situation in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Now that the matter in the Soviet Union has been settled, he must now understand the situation in the Soviet Union and then see what the next step is.
Whoa, whoa, Chen Jinghui flipped through Li Zongren's battle reports one by one, reading every point very carefully, and not leaving any details behind.
"Here, drink some water and keep looking."
An hour later, Chen Jinghui was still reading the war reports in Southeast Asia these days. The commander-in-chief saw that he was so serious and didn't want to disturb him. But the injuries on his body were not completely healed, so the commander-in-chief still poured a glass of boiling water and asked Chen Jinghui to rest and continue to watch.
"Wait a minute, I'll be done right away." Chen Jinghui said.
"Commander-in-chief, you've read all these battle reports, right, tell me what you think about Southeast Asia now." Ten minutes later, Chen Jinghui read the telegram and then asked the commander-in-chief.
"That's right, you're busy with the Soviet Union these days, and I'll help you watch over there in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. I have read all of Commander Lee's battle reports, and they are similar to those in the Middle East. After suffering several big defeats in succession, the British and the devils also began to switch from offensive to defensive, with the intention of fighting a long war with us. The commander-in-chief said.
"Well, now our army's defense area is too wide, and the enemy is determined to eat this, so he plans to fight with us. We were invaded by devils before, and a lot of resources were taken away by devils. And these countries have been plundering the resources of other countries, and with the fact that they are now occupying Southeast Asia and the Middle East, it will not be long before their strength recovers. And we're still developing, and we're certainly not recovering as fast as they are. Besides, if we use the strength of one country against several countries, we will certainly not be able to sustain it for long. I guess they are also aware of this situation, and they are ready to consume with us, trying to drag down our China, or at least drag down our country. Chen Jinghui analyzed.
"What you said is very reasonable, I discussed these issues with the commander-in-chief yesterday, but there is no feasible way to break this deadlock." said the commander-in-chief.
"Well, our shortcomings still lie in the basic war, and we can't concentrate on one point." Chen Jinghui said.
"This is also the reality of our current situation, and there is no way to do it. After all, they are five countries together, and although the Soviet Union has now been dealt with, we are still under pressure in the face of the four countries. The commander-in-chief lamented.
"Well, we have to find a way to break the deadlock, otherwise it will be very bad for our Huaxia."
Chen Jinghui took a sip of water after speaking, and then began to think. The Commander-in-Chief was the same, and he began to think about it, and wanted to think of a good solution.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I asked you to recruit new recruits before, I don't know how it is now." Chen Jinghui asked.
"The matter of recruitment, it seems that less than three million recruits have been recruited now, and they are still training." said the commander-in-chief.
"Three million, enough, enough. Commander-in-Chief, their basic training should be about the same. Chen Jinghui asked.
"Well, it should be over in a week." said the commander-in-chief.
"Very good, commander-in-chief, after these recruits are trained, pull them all to Commander Li's side, and all of them will be transferred to the Southeast Asian defense line." Chen Jinghui said.
"Well, what do you want to do?" The commander-in-chief looked at Chen Jinghui suspiciously and asked.
"Commander-in-chief, look at the current situation, in the Middle East, the enemy still has about four million in total, and the German army and the American army are still sending reinforcements from the mainland. Germany, in particular, is next to the Middle East, and it is easy to increase troops. But this part of Southeast Asia is different, there are only British and Japanese troops here, and now there are less than 800,000 troops combined. Look here, on the Korean Peninsula, Commander Xu has completely broken through the Japanese defense line, and our air force has threatened the security of the Japanese island, so the devil is constantly thinking about increasing troops on the Korean Peninsula. Here in Southeast Asia, it is impossible for the devil to take care of it. Let's talk about the British army earlier, they are too far away from Southeast Asia, and their navy does not have the strength to transport large forces now, so at present, Southeast Asia is the weakest place for the enemy. As long as we concentrate our forces, we will definitely be able to take Southeast Asia in one fell swoop. Chen Jinghui came to the map, pointed to the basic battlefield on the map, and began to analyze it for the commander-in-chief.
"Good idea, if you can successfully eat the devil and the British army in Southeast Asia, then the enemy's coalition will only be left in the Middle East. As for us, we can send troops into Southeast Asia, and then out of India, outflanking the enemy's coalition forces from the flank. Maybe it only takes one battle and we'll be able to seal the win. The commander-in-chief said.
"That's right, that's the truth. Now the Japanese and British armies in Southeast Asia are concentrated on the border, as long as we eat them, then there will be no more forces in Southeast Asia that threaten our China. We could have set up bases in Southeast Asia, as the Soviet Union did, and let those countries manage their own affairs. We will control the development of their domestic forces, so that our southwestern border will be completely peaceful. Chen Jinghui said with a smile on his face.
"Good indeed. But now our recruits are still training, and there are not enough troops to eat them. And then there is the sea, I am worried about the Japanese and American navies. If we don't destroy their navy, even if we occupy Southeast Asia, it will be useless, and we will still be threatened at any time. The commander-in-chief said.
"I understand this, I have arranged to pay attention to their naval movements, and the commander-in-chief can rest assured. We'll know once they act. Chen Jinghui said.
"That's good. Alas, when will our navy grow, then we will have no worries at all. The commander-in-chief lamented with reference to the Navy.
"Commander-in-Chief, our navy will soon be fighting. The immediate priority now is not to make the enemy too comfortable, and we have to find trouble for them. Chen Jinghui proposed.
"No problem, you can arrange it yourself, I have no opinion here." said the commander-in-chief.
"Alright, I'll give the order. Come, order Commander Peng, take advantage of our air force superiority, and give me the air to camp the enemy camp three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, so as not to let them live too comfortably. Commander Lee was ordered to send a special combat team to attack the British and Japanese camps in Southeast Asia. Strategic purposes, harassment. Chen Jinghui read.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, please sign."
"Order Commander Xu of the Northeast Military Region to increase the attack on the devils on the Korean Peninsula, but remember, don't eat them, let the devils reinforce the Korean Peninsula all the time. Commander Chen Shaokuan of the Navy was ordered to strengthen patrols in coastal areas and strictly prevent US and Japanese navies from sneaking up on coastal cities, especially Shanghai, Qingdao, and Guangzhou. Ordered Bai Chongxi of Taiwan Bay to strengthen the defense of Taiwan Bay. ”
"Yes, please sign."
Chen Jinghui issued several orders in one go, both defensive and active.
