Chapter Eighty-Four: The Battle of Wuhan Ends

Today, the third update, ask for recommendations, ask for collections......

After returning from the automobile factory, just a few days after a stable conversation with the two beauties, the headquarters sent a report on the battle of Wuhan.

At present, the battle of Wuhan has ended, looking at the battle report, Zhang Yunfei is silent in his heart, history has undergone a big deviation here, and this deviation is mainly manifested in the casualties of the troops on both sides.

It may be because of the arrival of Zhang Yunfei, the little butterfly, that history has undergone a great change, and the little devil gave full play to his absolute superiority in land, sea and air equipment in the Battle of Wuhan, fought hard for several months, and annihilated several main forces of the Chinese Kuomintang, with casualties as high as 7 or 800,000, including a large number of descendants of the Central Army.

However, the casualties on the part of the army were as high as more than 200,000, and during the period of participating in the war, the army replenished its personnel several times, and the total number of people participating in the war was as high as more than 500,000, and the army used the largest number of troops that could be assembled at that time.

Although the battle ended with the occupation of Wuhan by the Chinese army, I did not think that this battle was much more tragic than in history, and the number of casualties on both sides was much higher than recorded in history

Due to heavy casualties, the remaining nearly two million [***] elites have retreated to the southwestern provinces and abandoned large areas of territory in northern, central, eastern, and southern China, but in these occupied areas, [***] still have nearly one million troops left, persisting in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

Seeing such heavy casualties on both sides, the Chinese side said that both sides had reached the point of breaking their muscles and bones, and Zhang Yunfei analyzed that after the Battle of Wuhan, the Yue Army, which already felt that its troops were insufficient, felt more and more insufficient with the extension of the battle line, and was unable to organize such a large-scale strategic offensive as the Battle of Songhu, Xuzhou, and Wuhan with the goal of attacking cities and conquering places, and was forced to switch to strategic defense.

As a result, China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression developed from a strategic defensive stage to a strategic stalemate stage, and the invading army fell into the quagmire of a protracted war that it was most unwilling to wag and could not extricate itself, which led to a change in the policy of aggression against China: from military strikes as the mainstay and political inducement as a supplement, to political inducement and military strikes as the supplement; Instead of conducting frontal operations with the main force on the frontal battlefield, it has changed to transferring troops to conduct "law and order" operations in the battlefield behind enemy lines.

It seems that the little devil's life will not be easy in the next few months, the troops participating in the war need to rest and resupply, and they also need to garrison such a large occupied area, which currently covers an area of several million square kilometers, and the strength of the little devils in China, excluding the Kwantung Army, is 300,000 or 400,000, and it is estimated that the occupied areas of the current army, except for the big cities, are limited to an area of several kilometers on both sides of the main communication lines.

The vast rural and mountainous areas will be fertile ground for developing guerrilla forces behind enemy lines and for establishing anti-Japanese base areas.

After reading the battle report, Zhang Yunfei was in a very good mood, good opportunity, good opportunity, it seems that it is his turn to perform, taking advantage of the current emptiness of the little devil's troops, what should he do?

Well, and if you want to work, you have to hurry up, and in a few months, a large number of newly formed divisions of the little devils may land in China, and of course, they may also go south to fight in Southeast Asia.

However, now that we have taken the opportunity to fight the little devils, if the little devils are beaten, a large number of newly formed divisions and regiments of the little devils in a few months will not go south to fight in Southeast Asia and concentrate on dealing with themselves first, it will also be a troublesome matter at that time.

To fight or not to fight?

Zhang Yunfei walked around the office, thought carefully, and thought for a long time, Zhang Yunfei still decided to take a gamble, Zhang Yunfei bet that the established strategic policy would not change because of himself.

The greedy Xiao Yueben will definitely send troops to Southeast Asia to establish his Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and will not throw all his troops into the Chinese battlefield.

As a resource-poor country, Southeast Asia's abundant resources and excellent seaports, especially the "Strait of Malacca", which is known as the throat of the Pacific Ocean, are full of temptation.

Since he decided to take a gamble and do a good job, Zhang Yunfei walked to the huge war room, looked at the huge tactical sand table in the center of the war room, and thought carefully.

Just as Zhang Yunfei was thinking about it, a staff officer in the war room walked up to Zhang Yunfei, snapped upright, saluted a military salute and said: "Report to the division commander, just now at a checkpoint more than 100 kilometers north of Datong, the soldiers captured three people, but these people are different from the ones we captured before. ”

Since Zhang Yunfei's troops recovered Datong, the little devils have intensified their reconnaissance of the Datong base area, but fortunately, Zhang Yunfei has stepped up their precautions, and the soldiers have successively captured several batches of little devils who tried to sneak into Datong.

Unexpectedly, the few little devils captured today actually kept saying that they wanted to see Zhang Yunfei, which was the first time this had happened.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yunfei decided that he still wanted to meet these people, so he said to the staff officer in the war room next to him: "Bring these people to Datong, I want to meet these people." ”

I was going to think about it, conduct a large-scale battle, and take the opportunity to fight myself, but I didn't expect that before the action, the little devil also brought himself appetizers.

North of Datong, in this outpost of the 136th Division, three Xiao Yueben were tied up by the soldiers, and at first these little Yueben were quite arrogant, and they didn't know what to call in their mouths, but after being fiercely hit by the soldiers with a few rifle butts, they immediately became honest and let the soldiers tie up, but one Xiao Yueben began to shout loudly in blunt Chinese, saying that there was something important and wanted to see Zhang Yunfei.

A battalion commander at the outpost immediately paid attention to it and reported the situation to the Datong headquarters with the sentinel's phone, and not long after, the headquarters called and asked the sentinel to send someone to bring the three junior commanders to the Datong headquarters.

The three little men, who were tied up like zongzi, were pushed and shoved by the soldiers onto a large truck, and about a squad of soldiers also boarded the truck, and the truck drove out of the checkpoint after a while, drove onto a simple gravel road, and drove along the gravel road for a few kilometers, and then drove onto a wide and flat cement road.

At present, Datong has built several cement roads, these spacious cement roads connect Datong with several surrounding counties, and it used to take a day to run on horseback, but now it only takes two or three hours to reach it by car.

The highway not only ensures that the troops can move quickly, and all kinds of combat materials can be quickly and smoothly delivered to the front line, but also greatly facilitates the life of the surrounding people.

It took just over two hours for the big truck to reach Datong along the highway, and the three Xiao Yueben arrived in front of Zhang Yunfei's headquarters under the escort of the soldiers.

"Report to the division commander, the three junior ones have been brought to the door of the headquarters, please ask the division commander for instructions." A soldier walked up to Zhang Yunfei and reported loudly.

"Oh, it's here so soon, thank you guys, let's bring people to the side hall of the headquarters." Zhang Yunfei said.

The side hall of the headquarters is specially used to entertain people outside the troops, such as visiting reporters, ordinary people, businessmen, and celebrities, all of whom are received in the side hall and will not be brought into the headquarters office or war room, because there are a lot of military secrets involved.
