Seeing that Xue Yue did not interrupt his words, Yang Sen continued: "In view of the fact that the Japanese army's strength in this attack is not very large, there are only more than 60,000 people in three divisions and regiments, which is more than 200,000 less than the 300,000 army in the last attack on Wuhan, but our army has a full 12 armies and 33 divisions of regular troops stationed in northern Hunan, northern Jiangxi, southern Hunan, etc., in addition to dozens of security regiments and brigades, with a total strength of more than 400,000, more than 6 times the strength of the Japanese army, so our army should give full play to its superiority in strength.

"Keep talking!" Xue Yue immediately said.

"Yes! Northern Jiangxi and southern Hubei are not the main direction of attack of the Japanese army, so the humble position judged that the Japanese army would not invest too many troops, at most one division, so the humble position believed that our army would strive to flank it in the north of Chongren and Xingan, Yichun, Wanzai, Tonggu, east of Xiushui and north of Xiushui, Changshou Street, and Meixian, and break them individually. ”

"And Xiangbei is definitely the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, and the Japanese army will gather at least two divisions and regiments here, and the navy and aviation will definitely all assemble here, so I humbly believe that if the enemy attacks Changsha from Yanglin Street, Changle Street, Fulin Pai Road, and the areas on both sides of the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway with the main force, the enemy will be lured to the south of the Miluo River and on both sides of the Laodao River, counterattacking and annihilating it."

Xue Yue deduced on the map for a while, and finally said: "Deputy Commander Luo and Deputy Commander Yang's judgment is consistent with my thoughts, the Japanese army is now jumping over the wall, they will definitely occupy a provincial capital city like Changsha this time as a counterattack, forcing the party-state to submit to it, as a soldier, it is our duty to defend the territory and resist the enemy, even if we die on the battlefield, it is also a glorious destination, so I have made a military order to the commission, we must win this battle, and if we lose, we will die!" ”

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect Xue Yue to make such a strict military order to the old man, this is a battle to break the cauldron and fight against the water, win the chicken dog ascend to heaven, and lose and suffer together.

Wang Lingji, deputy commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater and commander-in-chief of the 30th Group Army, who had not spoken, suddenly got up and said: "Chief Xue, if it is only this 11th Army, it is not invincible, but as far as the humble post knows, the 13th Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanghai and the 12th Army stationed in Shandong are all ready to move, and the Japanese army seems to have mobilized troops from Taiwan. At the same time, they can also ask for help from the Suicha Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, so that they can launch an attack on the Japanese army from North China, contain the Japanese army in North China, and prevent it from increasing troops in Central China. ”

"In addition, although our army is indeed stronger than the Japanese in terms of numbers, it is far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of air force and navy, and according to the experience of the Battle of Wuhan, we can be sure that the Japanese air force has an extremely advanced combat aircraft, and the old ****3 destroyers of our air force and the Iraq-15 and 16 fighters are not opponents at all, and they must be guarded against!"

"That's a good suggestion, I'll send it to the commission!" Xue Yue said.

......

When the telegram for help from the Ninth War Zone was sent to Guisui, Ma Zheng was discussing the next battle plan with Political Commissar Luo and others, and now Okamura Ningji had arrived in North China, and it was impossible for him to coexist peacefully with them for a long time with this guy's personality, and he didn't know what bad water he was holding back now! So Ma Zheng decided to take precautions and formulate a new battle plan, just in case.

Moreover, through the previous readjustment and reorganization, the internal problems of the Suicha Military Region have now been basically resolved, and under the mediation of the Huaxia Company, the Suicha Military Region has formed a trading partner with the Soviet side, and now a large number of refined refined oil products are arriving in Guisui through the Sino-Soviet railway every day. After solving these problems, Ma Zheng felt the need to fight with Okamura Ningji.

After reading the telegram forwarded by Yan'an, Ma Zheng took a closer look at the map, and combined with his understanding of the Battle of Changsha, Ma Zheng's brows couldn't help frowning. There have been three battles of Changsha in history, the first was Xue Yue vs Okamura Ningji, the second was Xue Yue vs Anan Weiji, and the third time was also Xue Yue vs Anan Weiji.

However, due to the change in history, the Battle of Changsha has not yet begun, Okamura Ningji was transferred to North China to preside over the overall situation, and now Anan Weiki has taken over as the commander of the Eleventh Army, so Ma Zheng does not know whether he will be seated in the first Battle of Changsha or the second Battle of Changsha.

If it was the first Battle of Changsha in history, then things would be easy, because the first Battle of Changsha in history was indeed a victory. But if it is the second battle of Changsha, it will not be wonderful, although the propaganda of the Nationalist government for the second battle in history is a great victory, but Ma Zheng knows that in fact, the Nationalist government actually failed in this battle.

In the second Battle of Changsha in history, because the Japanese army was preparing to attack Southeast Asia, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters requested that the operation be ended as soon as possible, so the 11th Army quickly turned back and retreated to the original defense after capturing Changsha only 2 days later. Chongqing once used this to preach that the Japanese army was defeated by the Chinese defenders, and that China had won a second victory in Changsha, so as to boost morale and people's morale and maintain its international image.

From a political point of view, it is understandable that the Chongqing authorities did so. As a matter of fact, the Central Military Commission's planned organization of strategic coordination and campaign coordination among the Third, Fifth, Sixth, and Ninth Theaters, and in particular the directing of the Sixth Theater to launch a counteroffensive against Yichang with considerable momentum, were all correct policy decisions and reflected their positive intentions in guiding the war. The Japanese army also admitted that the will to resist the war in Chongqing was still high, and the Japanese counterattack against Yichang exceeded the Japanese army's expectations in terms of scale and fighting spirit.

According to Japanese statistics, the defenders abandoned 54,000 corpses and captured 4,300 people in the entire battle. The Japanese suffered 5,184 wounded and 1,670 killed. This statistic obviously exaggerates the results of the Japanese army, but according to the data of the Nationalist Government, the 58th Division of the 74th Army suffered 55% casualties and 40% casualties of the 57th Division; The 37th Division of the 60th Army suffered 50% casualties, and the 140th Division suffered 30% casualties; 45% casualties of the 102nd Division of the 102nd Army; The 10th Division of the 3rd Army suffered 35% casualties, and the casualties were indeed heavy.

More importantly, the Nationalist Government also lost Changsha, even if the Japanese army only occupied Changsha for 2 days, this was an undeniable defeat, so the Second Battle of Changsha was a failure both strategically and tactically.

Ma Zheng didn't think that sending a few thousand people south to support the operation would turn the tide of the war, but in view of the Nationalist government's more positive attitude, Ma Zheng still decided to help Lao Jiang.

Therefore, after obtaining the consent of the Central Committee, Ma Zheng quickly sent a telegram back to Lao Jiang, indicating that the Suicha Military Region supported the scale government and decided to launch an attack on the Ninth Theater at the same time as the Japanese army. The Suicha Military Region will launch a campaign of comparable scale in North China to contain the Japanese army in North China and cooperate with the actions of the Ninth Theater.

After receiving Ma Zheng's telegram, Lao Jiang was overjoyed, and he now admires Ma Zheng more and more. Although Ma Zheng is subordinate to Yan'an, and under his leadership, the threat of the Suicha Military Region is increasing day by day, even to the point that he cannot tolerate it. But Ma Zheng's courage and means of doing things made Lao Jiang admire. This guy dares to fight, and he doesn't have the idea of Yan Xishan, He Jian and others being rich and safe, and he is indeed a masterpiece of the moment.

What is even more rare is that this young man has a clear distinction between the country, the family and the political party, is never confused about the major rights and wrongs, never relents after the fact, and often has the confidence to win.

All in all, Lao Jiang was still very satisfied with Ma Zheng's performance, and he immediately ordered the attendant room to send a report to the Ninth War Zone, telling them that Ma Zheng's troops would cooperate with them in North China, and that the Fifth War Zone and the Sixth War Zone would also assist them, asking Xue Yue to throw off his arms and do a big job.

Immediately afterward, the Ninth Theater announced the deployment plan for the various units of the battle, and the regular troops of the three group armies, 12 armies, and 33 divisions under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Theater, as well as a number of guerrilla columns, were ready to meet the Japanese attack under the unified deployment of the theater headquarters.
