Liu Hua who is approaching step by step

In the huge office of the East China Field Army. Since the 190,000 Japanese troops successfully broke through, the entire war room immediately became busy. Combat staff officers all hurriedly went back and forth between the war room and the telecommunications room, marking the latest information from the battlefield on the sand table for the first time.

"Commander-in-chief, according to the latest intelligence sent by the reconnaissance company of the 63rd Division, the Japanese army broke through in less than two hours, and was blocked by a bridge that was blown up by our local garrison.

"Commander-in-Chief, telegraph in the direction of Xiangyang. The 20,000 Japanese troops who broke through from Xiangyang only broke through less than 20 kilometers in one day under the constant harassment of our local garrison and the blows of the fortified walls. At present, the entire breakthrough force has been camped on the spot and stopped advancing....The troops asked whether it was possible to launch a night attack at night and kill and injure a large number of the living forces of the Japanese breakthrough force. At the same time, he took the opportunity to rescue a large number of civilians who were coerced by the Japanese army. ”

"Commander-in-Chief, telegram in the direction of Changsha. The Japanese breakthrough troops, under the orders of our army's fortified wall Qingye, marched less than 30 kilometers in one day. At present, the entire army has reached the Xiangjiang River, which is completely blocked by the Xiangjiang River. Because our army had successfully transferred all the ships on both sides of the Xiang River before the war, it would take at least two days for the Japanese breakthrough troops to successfully cross the river...."

Listening to the steady stream of intelligence, I saw that on the huge combat sand table, there were Japanese breakout troops completely inside the encirclement of the East China Field Army. Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's face immediately showed a smile of relief. He said to the chief of staff beside him.

"Chief of Staff, it seems that our policy of clearing the wilderness has been implemented very successfully. According to this development, it is simply impossible for these 190,000 Japanese troops to break through to the sea and join their naval rescue forces in less than a month. And in a month's time, I believe that these 190,000 Japanese troops have already become the turtles in our urn..."

For Liu Hua's self-confidence, Zuo Quan, as an old partner, can only smile bitterly. Because, even so far, under his repeated questioning, the commander-in-chief in front of him has not clearly told himself that he has any way to save the 100,000 civilians who were coerced by the Japanese army from the hands of the 190,000 Japanese troops.

A few minutes later, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua had a clear understanding of the specific situation on the combat sand table. Facing Zuo Quan beside him, he asked with a serious face.

"Chief of Staff, on the way to the Japanese army's breakthrough, did it do anything drastic to the tens of thousands of people who were coerced?"

"No...."Zuo Quan didn't think about it, and replied affirmatively.

As soon as the two words were spoken, a look of confusion appeared on Zuo Quan's face. Facing Liu Hua beside him, he asked with a puzzled face: "According to intelligence, when breaking through, the Japanese army simply didn't treat our people as human beings. And on the way to break through, although it can't be said to be kind. However, according to the intelligence officers who got in, at least along the way, the Japanese army did not kill a single Chinese. Until now, I don't understand this..."

Hearing this, Liu Hua, who was still serious just now, immediately showed a sneer on his face. According to the understanding of Mitsu Ishiro, an old devil, in the history books of later generations, after a short period of contemplation, the key to it was revealed in one sentence: 'Be kind. As far as the virtue of the little devil is concerned, how can he be kind to our people....Chief of Staff, if I am not mistaken, the little devil has some scruples. “

"As far as I know, our old adversary, General Mitsu, is a very cautious general. And now, it is his caution that makes him have deep scruples in his heart for us and the 100,000 people in his hands...."...,

"Scruples....how is that possible. The little devil has 100,000 of us in his hands. To be scrupulous, it is also our scruples, how can they..."Regarding Liu Hua's explanation, Zuo Quan obviously didn't believe it very much, and the puzzled look on his face became even stronger. Unexpectedly, he lost his voice for a while, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Seeing Zuo Quan, who was shocked, Liu Hua did not hesitate, and directly explained: "Chief of Staff, the reason is very simple. Our adversaries are worried that they will go too far and really anger us and the Chinese government. Then, our army, which is nearly a million strong, will directly attack and wipe them out regardless of these hundreds of thousands of people....Think about it, if this kind of thing really happens, what will be the result? ”

"Without the support of the city walls, plus all kinds of food in the hands of the Japanese army, ammunition is limited. At that time, maybe we don't need to take the initiative to attack, as long as we besiege it, these hundreds of thousands of troops will automatically collapse...... And at that time, the Japanese government will lose the last mobile force, the Pacific theater will also face defeat, and the entire Japanese government will also face the situation of defeat...."Zuo Quan, who reacted, couldn't help but exclaim again....

"Yes, that's why...."

At this moment, another piece of information was sent to the two of them by the operational staff officer. After quickly reading the telegram in his hand, the shocked look on Zuo Quan's face was immediately covered with a smile. Facing Liu Hua in front of him, he sighed again: "Commander-in-chief, I really doubt that you have the ability to predict the future." What he just said, Mitsu uses his own actions to verify every time Lang, an old devil...."

"Huh? Let's hear it..."Liu Hua's face immediately showed a curious look. I want to see what kind of earth-shattering move Mitsu Ichiro, who is in trouble again, will make...-

"According to the information left by the intelligence officers lurking among the common people, since the camp last night, the Japanese army has made a selection of all the people who are holding them hostage. Except for the 30,000 young men who could really keep up with the speed of their troops. The remaining 20,000 civilians all disappeared and slaughtered the middle of the ranks....and according to the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance unit that followed the Japanese breakout force, the 20,000 civilians who were singled out were all secretly released by the Japanese army. At present, the 63rd Division has sent a regiment of troops to escort 20,000 civilians back to Wuhan...."

"What about the other armies of the Japanese army?" Liu Hua asked directly.

"Our pursuing troops also received a lot of civilians who were eliminated by the Japanese army along the way. According to the latest statistics of the Intelligence Department, so far, the number of civilians in the hands of the Japanese army has only been more than 60,000. Moreover, these more than 60,000 people are all real young and middle-aged people who will not drag the Japanese army back from marching..."Zuo Quan replied.

"This Mitsu is like this every time, and he can be so rational and come up with such a way, which will not anger us, but also speed up his march, which is really a double win...."Liu Hua couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Commander-in-Chief, in that case, what about us next?" Regarding Liu Hua's answer, he, who had fully understood Liu Hua's inner thoughts, nodded very approvingly.

However, in just a moment, the brows that had just been stretched out were wrinkled. Because through this incident, he suddenly found that his old opponent Mitsu Ishiro seemed to be more difficult to deal with than he imagined. Thinking of this, he asked directly to Liu Hua beside him.

"What should we do....for the sake of these 60,000 people, we can't provoke this Japanese army. However, I think we can still make good use of the scruples of Mitsu every time this old devil to us, give him a step by step, and toss the 190,000 Japanese soldiers...."After a short period of contemplation, Liu Hua said directly.

"Step by step, Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean?" Zuo Quan asked rhetorically. ..., "Chief of Staff, the only thing that the Japanese breakout troops rely on is the tens of thousands of ordinary people in their hands. Since this is the case, then we will let the Japanese army know the importance of these tens of thousands of ordinary people to them, deepen their scruples, and better protect these ordinary people. At the same time, through the step-by-step pressing, we will kill and injure as much as possible the living forces of the Japanese breakthrough troops, and lay a good foundation for the final decisive battle...."

"Order, all combat units, from now on, can take advantage of the favorable terrain to carry out appropriate blocking of the Japanese breakthrough troops."

"Of course, in the process of blocking, the Japanese army will inevitably use the people in their hands as their shields, just like the breakthrough battle a day ago, to attack our blocking position. At that time, it is inevitable that another tragic white-knuckle battle will occur. And I'm looking for these white-knuckle battles...."

Seeing Zuo Quan, who looked puzzled, Liu Hua continued: "In an ordinary white-knuckle battle with the elite of the Japanese Kwantung Army, of course we are not opponents. However, if the unit against the Japanese army had been an elite unit fully armed with semi-automatic rifles and pistols, I believe that the result would have been very different..."

Having said that, if Zuo Quan still can't understand, then he is not suitable for the post of chief of staff. Sure enough, as soon as Liu Hua's words fell, Zuo Quan's face showed a look of surprise, and he hurriedly spoke.

"Commander-in-chief, what do you mean is to order all combat units to be specially armed with an elite unit equipped with semi-automatic rifles and pistols to fight the Japanese army in a white-knuckle battle. With sharp weapons in their hands, a large number of killing and wounding the living forces of the Japanese army? ”

"Not only that, but through white-knuckle warfare, you can also save a lot of civilians from the Japanese army....Okay, Chief of Staff, you should know the specific situation. Go and give an order immediately...."Liu Hua ordered decisively.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
