"Hehe, what Xiao Chen said is very reasonable, and it is indeed the case when you think about it. Okay, it's not too early, let's go to dinner together! ”

Chen Jinghui's words just now were very meaningful, and except for the commander-in-chief, no one else at the scene could understand it. The commander looked at everyone, afraid that everyone would continue to be entangled on this issue, so he immediately diverted the topic and took a group of people to dinner.

During the meal, Chen Jinghui met with Ren Bishi and other major leaders of the central government. It was a pleasure to talk during the dinner. Especially when the people here in Yan'an heard that Chen Jinghui had given Yan'an a large number of free reinforcements of weapons, ammunition and medicines, they were even more polite to Chen Jinghui, and they all went to toast Chen Jinghui. In the end, if it weren't for the commander-in-chief's speech, it is estimated that Chen Jinghui would have been overthrown today.

"Haha, Xiao Chen! If you want to go there in the afternoon, I'll have someone show you around. After eating, the commander said.

"Don't worry, you can visit at any time, Commander Chen and I will cover it this afternoon." The Commander-in-Chief immediately stepped forward to block the way.

"Boss, why are you doing this?" The commander asked.

"Yes, boss, what are you going to do here?" Deputy Commander Zhou asked.

"Hehe, you know about the airport battle organized by Commander Chen before, presumably Commander Chen has great attainments in military affairs, I want to take him to the staff headquarters to serve as a staff officer for me." said the commander-in-chief.

"This ......"

When the commander-in-chief said this, he suddenly embarrassed the commander-in-chief and Deputy Commander Zhou. Chen Jinghui is young, but he is a guest after all, and he is also a distinguished guest with an army of hundreds of thousands, so this arrangement is rude. Especially the commander-in-chief, he wanted to talk to Chen Jinghui alone in the afternoon.

"What? Isn't it possible? ”

The commander-in-chief saw that the commander and deputy commander Zhou were a little embarrassed, and immediately asked again in confusion. For him, a military strategist, it is rare to meet a powerful character, of course, he has to learn from each other.

"Hehe, Commander, I'll stay a few more days this time. Besides, I have admired the Commander-in-Chief for a long time, and I would like to learn from him. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Chen Jinghui immediately stood up and explained that he was willing to discuss with the commander-in-chief in the afternoon to break the embarrassing atmosphere of everyone.

"Oh, well! Since Xiao Chen was willing, he was accompanied by the boss in the afternoon, and Lao Zhou and I didn't follow. ”

Since Chen Jinghui himself has also expressed his attitude, the commander is not good at saying anything, so he has to agree. Then after speaking, he turned around and went back to his office and handed over Chen Jinghui to the commander-in-chief completely.

Deputy Commander Zhou saw that the commander was gone, and he also said a polite word and left. There was originally a group of people, and there were immediately three left: Chen Jinghui, the commander-in-chief and Chen Yi.

"Let's go to the General Staff, let's have a good discussion."

Seeing that the commander-in-chief had already left, the commander-in-chief immediately took Chen Jinghui's arm and began to urge him to follow him to the staff headquarters.

Soon they arrived at the staff headquarters, and the commander-in-chief did not introduce Chen Jinghui to the staff officers inside, but let everyone inside go out, which was also for Chen Jinghui's secrecy.

"Come on, Commander Chen, look at our deployment this year, see if there is anything wrong."

The commander-in-chief pointed to a large sand table in the center of the General Staff, which marked the deployment of the Eighth Route Army, the devils, and the Nationalist Army in Shanxi.

Chen Jinghui did not speak, but walked directly to the sand table and quietly observed, he circled around the sand table, and then stopped at a corner and began to ponder carefully.

The sand table marks the spheres of influence of various forces, and many places are also intertwined with each other.

"Commander-in-chief, can you explain that my Eighth Army is still hitting in the mountains and rural areas, and has not expanded its actual control area." After looking at it for a while, Chen Jinghui suddenly asked.

"Due to our actual situation, the troops can only operate in mountainous areas and rural areas." said the commander-in-chief.

"Can you be more specific?" Chen Jinghui continued to ask. Because he has some doubts now, and he needs the commander-in-chief to say in detail before he can make a judgment.

"To tell you the truth, the main thing is the issue of weapons and ammunition, which seriously restricts the development of the troops, as well as the area of operation. If you are too close to the county seat, it is easy to be attacked by devils. The commander-in-chief said.

"Commander-in-chief, I remember that I gave you a total of 100,000 Japanese-style equipment before and after, plus the Bayi rifles I gave you before, how could there be a lack of weapons." Chen Jinghui asked.

"Alas...... You're right, we got a lot of good weapons from you, but our Eighth Route Army has 400,000 troops, which is really a drop in the bucket. The commander-in-chief said helplessly.

"Confused, look at your current deployment, as well as the area of activity, what development can be made. It seems that I have given you so many weapons and equipment in vain. Chen Jinghui immediately raised his voice and said.

"Hmm??? How can it be in vain? The commander-in-chief disagreed with Chen Jinghui's words and immediately questioned.

"Commander-in-chief, if I were you, I would use these weapons to equip 100,000 elite soldiers. Look here, Changzhi. If I were you, the last time I attacked Anhui, I would not hesitate to seize the opportunity to take Changzhi, and then go all the way east to take Licheng. In this way, it is equivalent to closing the door for devils to enter the northwest, and the devils in Shanxi will become lonely. Chen Jinghui said.

"Hiss......"

Chen Jinghui said this, and the commander-in-chief immediately thought about it. He looked at Changzhi pointed by Chen Jinghui, and his brain was running fast.

"That's right, you have a point. If we had won Changzhi at that time and then closed the east gate to Shanxi, then we would have made great progress in terms of both military resources and resources. The commander-in-chief said.

"But...... If we really won Changzhi at that time, the devil would definitely fight back. According to our strength at that time, it will definitely be unstoppable, and Changzhi will still be lost. The commander-in-chief said again.

"I said Commander-in-Chief, how can there be a good time and place to fight, and the general adventure will do. Besides, I had just annihilated more than 100,000 field troops of the devils in the Battle of Wuhan, and then I was attacking Anhui. If you think about it, my troops have been pushed outside Xuzhou City, and the devil must be heavily armed. Let's talk about the direction of Henan, most of Henan is already controlled by the national army, plus the northern part of Anhui borders Henan, and my mistake also threatens Henan. In this way, a large part of the devil's troops in Henan, Shandong, and even Hebei will be pinned, and how many troops there will be against your well-equipped army of 100,000. Then again, even if the devil army counterattacks, you can't hold on and lose Changzhi, but after all, you have occupied Changzhi for a period of time, and it is estimated that you have absorbed almost all the troops and resources of Changzhi, and there will still be a chance to recover it in the future. But you just gave up, and you said that those weapons were not in vain. Chen Jinghui analyzed.

"Hiss......"

The commander-in-chief was once again shocked by Chen Jinghui's military arguments, he did not expect that Chen Jinghui would think so comprehensively about the war, even the deployment of friendly forces. Every step is calculated just right, and even if there is a gap, it can be quickly remedied. With a simple remark, the commander-in-chief couldn't help but look up to Chen Jinghui a little more.

"What you said makes sense, but we didn't think about it comprehensively enough and lost the opportunity to play well." The commander-in-chief admitted the mistake.

"Also, commander-in-chief, if you actually controlled Changzhi at that time, and blocked the counterattack of the devils. Now think about it, how many devils are still around Changzhi, and how much area you will actually control. When the time comes, with the support of the local economy, are you still worried that the army will not be able to develop! Chen Jinghui continued.

"What you say makes sense, if it's really as you say, we must actually control many counties now. This will greatly reduce a lot of trouble in Yan'an, and the preparation of military supplies will be much easier. The commander-in-chief said.

"Then you can see now how we should deploy, it will be more advantageous." Since Chen Jinghui felt that he had a big problem with his deployment, the commander-in-chief immediately asked to see what Chen Jinghui's tricks were.

"Commander-in-chief, look here, these places are mountains, which is very conducive to the hiding of troops. If I were you, I would plant a division of troops, secretly lurk in this area, and secretly control this place. Then two divisions of elite soldiers were formed to deploy around Changzhi and surround Changzhi. The troops in the Luliang area can also appropriately withdraw outside the mountains to give Taiyuan an invisible deterrent. Although it is not substantial, it is enough to affect the layout of the devil. In this case, whether it is our Flying Fox or the national army in Shandong or Henan to carry out a large-scale battle with the devil, or the devil will withdraw troops to leave for some reason. Then your chance is here, you can take Changzhi quickly and forcefully again, and you can also realize the opportunity you missed last year. Chen Jinghui said.

"Shhh...... What you said is very reasonable, according to our current deployment, we are mainly operating in the mountainous areas between the triangle of Changzhi, Linfen, and Taiyuan, and if the situation you mentioned occurs, we will not be able to react at all, let alone occupy Changzhi. The commander-in-chief felt that Chen Jinghui had pointed out the shortcomings of their deployment at once, and felt that he had really made a mistake.

"I suggest that you transfer this unit here, and then secretly control the countryside for a generation, pull out the devil's eyeliner first, and let the devil become deaf and blind, and the subsequent actions will be much easier. And here, here......"

Chen Jinghui began to deploy on the sand table, in fact, part of his current deployment intention is to prepare for the big war he is about to launch.
