Chapter 216: To fight or not to fight?

Listening to Bai Chongxi's analysis, Chairman Jiang instantly broke out in a cold sweat, although Chairman Jiang would not trust Bai Chongxi very much, but it was only a confrontation between two different camps, like this kind of matter related to the general interests of the country, Chairman Jiang still knows who to believe and who not to believe, otherwise it is a huge political axe, and it is estimated that he will not be able to play it.

Following Bai Chongxi's analysis, Chairman Jiang felt more and more reasonable, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, if Bai Chongxi really got it right, things would become terrible.

Although Su Dao brought a catastrophe to the army, but did not destroy them all, and now he wants to eliminate Su Dao at all costs, once they succeed, then the situation of the war of resistance in China will become more difficult. Not for anything else, he said that he suffered a loss in the hands of Su Dao, and he would definitely prevent such a thing from happening again in the future, so he would be even more fierce when he started a battle.

A national war is different from a fight between two people, the people of a country hate each other's citizens, and he doesn't care if you did it, as long as it is done by the people of your country, then I hate each and every one of you. Thinking of this, Chairman Jiang couldn't help but shudder.

He still understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, but what Chairman Jiang needs to do now is to think clearly about how he should help Su Dao, is he desperate to send troops to increase his troops? Or let them fight with the mussels?

"Send a report to all theaters and pay close attention to the movements of the army. Don't let anyone bother us. Chairman Chiang instructed the communications staff officer.

Judging from the intelligence of all parties, if the army really wants to destroy the 99th Army at all costs, it is estimated that at least more than 50 percent of the troops in China will be transferred, or even more than that.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kwantung Army can't defeat Su Dao's 200,000 troops, and now Su Dao is expanding his army frantically, and it will not be so easy to clean him up after Su Dao's army expansion is completed. Wait, expand the army. Chairman Chiang suddenly realized a very serious problem.

"How far has the expansion of the Ninety-ninth Army progressed?" Chairman Jiang stared at Dai Yunong and asked.

"Back to the principal, the expansion of the 99th Army has just begun, and now it should be almost levied, and the first batch of soldiers is estimated to have started training for a few days." Dai Yunong didn't dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly reported the news from the Northeast Bureau to the principal.

"What? Just getting started? This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Chairman Jiang was a little out of breath.

The 99th Army's defense area is so large that the 200,000 troops are simply not enough, and now that the army has a heavy force to press the territory, it is certainly no problem to resist only one point, but it is obvious that since the army has mobilized so many troops, it will certainly not choose only one point to break through, and it is inevitable to attack at many points.

The recruits of the 99th Army have just begun training, and it will take at least two months before they become an army, and it will take even longer to become stronger, and once Su Dao can't hold the defensive line, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"This is a bad thing for us, but it's not necessarily a bad thing." Bai Chongxi thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still thought that this matter was not necessarily a bad thing.

"Oh? Kensheng, what do you think? Chairman Jiang frowned tightly and looked at Bai Chongxi with a solemn face.

"Commission, don't be afraid of the army moving, I'm afraid that the army won't move, give us a void." Bai Chongxi also said with a solemn face.

"You mean?" Chairman Jiang looked at Bai Chongxi in disbelief, Chen Cheng and the others were the same, they were not idiots standing here, they all understood what Bai Chongxi meant, and they all opened their mouths wide.

Judging from the official data, the number of the Kwantung Army in China in 39 years was about less than 700,000, and the total number of troops dispatched to China was about 600,000, including millions of puppet troops.

The Kwantung Army suffered the most losses in this campaign, and about 100,000 people died under the guns of the 99th Army in the two battles, which means that the Kwantung Army can still draw at least 500,000 troops, the Huaxia Dispatch Army can draw at least 400,000 people, and the million puppet army is also very likely to be transferred about 300,000 or 400,000.

If this is really calculated, the army alone has a strength of almost 900,000 troops, and there are more than 200,000 people in the ten divisions and regiments that will be transferred from the country, plus the total strength of the puppet army should be about 1.4 million.

"If the army really moves, we can gather heavy troops to attack from the north and south, if we can annihilate all the army in one fell swoop, then the war of resistance will be won, and then it will be a matter of time before we recover the few cities that the army is guarding, and the army of 10,000 or 20,000 people is not enough to worry about, but if we fail, China will no longer have the power to resist in recent years." Bai Chongxi directly said the advantages and disadvantages together.

In fact, the result was exactly as Bai Chongxi expected, millions of Yue troops gathered together, and after they were annihilated, there were only 120,000 Yue troops still in the pass, these people were still stationed in different places, and it was basically impossible to help each other, and it was good to have 30,000 Yue troops in each city, so after defeating the Yue army, they could easily recover the lost territory in these places where the Yue army was guarded.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, once defeated, you will face the situation of surrender, so this time it is also two diametrically opposed choices, if you want to fight, you will do your best, and you will fight without any reservations, or if you don't fight, you will directly throw away Su Dao, let him fend for himself, and Wuhan will continue to adhere to its own anti-Japanese war policy.

Chairman Jiang was also very annoyed at this time, should he fight or not? Su Dao's previous combat power made him feel terrible, for fear that one day Su Dao would go to war with him, but the victory of the Anti-Japanese War was indeed very tempting, the war had been fought for several years, and the past few years had become more and more bitter, Chairman Jiang had long wanted to end the war as soon as possible and deal with domestic affairs well.

However, the 99th Army is obviously lacking in strength now, and it is one thing whether it can resist it, saying that it is the North and the South that are flanked, but it is the 99th Army that is really being flanked, if the recruits in Su Dao's hands have been trained, Chairman Jiang may also consider directly fighting with the little devils in North China, but now, he is a little undecided.

Of course, Chairman Chiang's analysis was also correct, because during the first Jinxi Campaign, the Kwantung Army invested more than 100,000 people in six divisions, but was defeated by others, and on the other hand, the 99th Army did not lose too many troops, and it continued to launch the second campaign not long after, and this time it took the entire territory of Rehe Province, which proved that the first battle did not bring too many casualties to the 99th Army at all.

Moreover, according to the data of the enemy annihilation reported by the various units in the second campaign, the base camp had to make a set of temporary plans to deal with the 99th Army, but no matter how it was deduced, it was impossible to annihilate the 99th Army by relying on the strength of the Kwantung Army alone, and even if the Huaxia Dispatch Army was added, it was a bit enough.

In addition to the first use of chemical weapons in the two battles, which caused some casualties to the 99th Army, less than 10,000 soldiers died under the guns at the end of the entire campaign. Especially when they learned that there were advanced tanks and fighters in Huaxia, this added a lot of worries to the base camp.

However, this bombing of Tokyo brought a serious panic to the mainland, and no one was willing to do their best to destroy the 99th Army even if they lost the area they had occupied, but so many people were burned to death in Tokyo, and they had to do everything possible to eliminate the 99th Army and give an explanation to the people.

Mobilizing millions of people to fight the 200,000 people of the 99th Army sounds like some artillery to fight mosquitoes, but no one thinks so in the base camp, because it is not the first time to fight with the 99th Army, and they have already had the experience of two defeats, forcing them to pay attention to this battle, and the 99th Army must also be annihilated, and there is also news from the Kwantung Army Headquarters that the 99th Army has already recruited about 300,000 troops.

If this is done by Su Dao, he will not be able to eliminate them and give an explanation to the people of Yuben, so this is also the night of the bombing of Tokyo, Emperor Showa directly summoned a group of ministers and threatened to destroy the 99th Army at all costs, even if they temporarily lose Huaxia Pass, they will be eliminated.

With the persecution of Emperor Yumoto, all the departments of the base camp also began to get busy, and at the same time sent a report to the Huaxia dispatch army, transporting all the surplus troops to Beiping and Tianjin, and at the same time solving the battles of the armies in all aspects as soon as possible, and striving to withdraw and rush to Beiping and Tianjin within two days.

And the news of the bombing of Tokyo was also learned by these generals, knowing that the culprit was in the northeast, and the above also ordered them to fight, and now the troops on the battlefield also took advantage of the night to withdraw all of them, and some small cities or something were directly abandoned, or left a battalion of puppet soldiers to guard, and even the soldiers were too lazy to leave there.

"How sure are you if you fight?" Chairman Jiang said with a frown.

"It depends on how long Su Dao can hold on, and the longer the time, the greater the certainty." Bai Chongxi thought for a moment and replied.

"Yes, the more time passes, the greater the certainty, but the chance of failure also increases." It was Chen Cheng who spoke this time, and he had already guessed what Bai Chongxi meant.

It is only when they are all put into battle, and the troops on their own side are almost assembled, they dare to go up and fight with the little devils, otherwise they will be sent to death, and no matter how many troops they have, it will be in vain.

Chairman Chiang's frowning brows have never relaxed, yes, the army's mobility is much higher than theirs, and there are a lot of railways to use, but what about them? It's okay in the area under their control, but once they reach North China, the railways are basically under the control of the army, the Pinghan Railway and the Jinpu Railway, if the little devils make some small moves on the railway, they will have to be killed and injured.

So the main question now is how long Su Dao can last? Huaxia's troops are too scattered, and at present only 1.1 million troops have gathered around Wuhan, and even if Chairman Chiang grits his teeth and mobilizes the past 900,000 troops, it will be difficult to reach Beiping within a month, and the most fatal thing is the logistical pressure, they cannot support so many troop movements.

"Send a report to Su Dao, tell him about the situation, and see how he reacts?" Chairman Jiang let out a deep sigh, he could only ask what Su Dao meant first, and then make a decision on his own side, if Su Dao could hold it, then he could operate on his side, and if he couldn't hold it, then what should he do, and save so many resources.
