Liu Hua can't say the plan

Wuhan, as a transportation artery connecting the north and south of China's great rivers, has already had the shape of a metropolis in later generations after several generations of development. Of course, as a transportation hub, the various buildings in the city are also different from some small inland counties, and almost all the buildings and houses on both sides of the street are made of reinforced concrete and various bricks.......

After listening to the operational staff officer, the introduction of the entire Wuhan city. Although after a year of stationing, everyone has a certain understanding of Wuhan City under their feet. However, as a purposeful chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ichiro Sakai, there was still an excited smile on his face. As soon as the words of the combat staff officer fell, Lieutenant General Ichiro Sakai spoke impatiently, his words full of excitement.

"Your Excellency Commander, this Wuhan City is simply carefully prepared for our next street fighting. I can guarantee here that as long as the East China Field Army enters the city, I can rely on the remaining three divisions in the city to make the enemy pay at least twice the price and drag them to death in the three towns of Wuhan..."Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro replied confidently.

"Yo Xi, since we have this self-confidence, then we have to find a way to achieve it. Chief of Staff, with the troops deployed outside the city by our army, plus air reinforcements after dawn. The East China Field Army can at least be dragged outside the city by our army for two days and one night. So, we still have two days and one night to prepare for the next street fight..."General Umezu Mijiro nodded with great satisfaction.

"Operational staff officer, immediately bring me the map of the three towns of Wuhan, and I will assign the specific combat missions and combat areas of each unit...."

"Hayi..."

Soon, three maps that clearly showed the urban areas of the three towns of Wuhan were laid out in front of everyone. Senior General Umezu Mijiro, who was the commander of the division, also began to issue specific combat orders at the first time, relying on his previous combat experience.

Half an hour later, while the fighting was still raging outside the city. One by one, the Japanese troops quickly left the field fortifications outside the city and disappeared at the city gate...

The brightly lit streets and alleys of the three towns of Wuhan have already become chaotic with the issuance of the command order. On both sides of the street, all the houses that could be converted into street fortifications were forcibly expropriated by the Japanese army with bright bayonets, and turned into a busy construction site. Countless ordinary people who had lost their homes, like sheep without any ability to resist, walked towards the barracks in the center of the city under the threat of Japanese bayonets...

The Japanese army suddenly changed its previous style of being close to the people, and did not hesitate to use force to expropriate the houses on both sides of the streets, and vigorously renovate the street fighting fortifications. It is impossible for such a big matter to hide from the ears of the CCP intelligence officers in the city. So, one after another, along with telegrams, quickly spread out of the city....

At the headquarters of the East China Field Army in Nanjing, the chief of staff who had been sticking to the telecommunications room, Zuo Quan's brows immediately furrowed after reading the information he had just received. After saying something to the communications staff officer beside him, he took the telegram and walked to the war room with an anxious face...

"Chief of Staff, is it the front line that has come to report again, so anxious... This is not like your usual style...."Seeing Zuo Quan, the chief of staff with an anxious face in front of him, Liu Hua said with a smile on his face.

"Commander-in-chief, this is not a war report, it is a piece of information just sent by the intelligence officers of the three towns of Wuhan. There has been an accident in the three towns of Wuhan..."Chief of Staff Zuo Quan replied bluntly.

"Something happened... Could it be that after today's defeat, our enemy has changed his battle plan again..."Liu Hua, who had a keen sense of smell, immediately realized something. The face that was still relaxed just now was immediately enveloped by a serious look. Facing Zuo Quan, he asked rhetorically with a frown. …,

"Yes...."Zuo Quan replied affirmatively.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he continued.

"I believe that until the war has been fought, as long as a reasonable commander is very clear, if he fights with us outside the city again, he will not get any benefit at all, but will lose his troops and speed up his own destruction....Our old opponent, General Umezu Mijiro, has obviously discovered this problem, and knows that if he continues to fight hard with us, he will not get any benefits, so he will change his battle plan on the spot, regardless of the taboo of the soldiers. Withdraw the troops from outside the city close to the city, and use the streets and alleys that crisscross the city to fight us in a street battle like never before..."

Those who can stand in the war room of the headquarters are the most elite group of staff officers of the entire East China Field Army. After only a short period of thought, everyone nodded thoughtfully. Then, an operational staff officer spoke.

"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, this old devil Umezu Mijiro is too cunning....Street fighting, but it is a time-consuming and time-consuming way of fighting. If the Japanese army is allowed to do so, we will be dragged alive by the Japanese army's next street fighting in the three towns of Wuhan. More importantly, after fierce street fighting, we will have countless commanders and fighters who died in the three towns of Wuhan....... which will have a very significant impact on the strength of our army and the next move. Please think twice about the Commander-in-Chief..."

"Commander-in-Chief, I think Staff Officer Wang is right. We must not fulfill the wish of the Japanese army and fight with them in the three towns of Wuhan...."Zuo Quan glanced at his subordinates with appreciation, and then opened his mouth in agreement...

Seeing everyone's expectant gaze, the corners of Liu Hua's mouth quickly flashed a sneer. Then, facing Zuo Quan in front of him, he said with a sly face: "Chief of Staff, when did you see me suffer in front of the Japanese army..."

"Besides, I didn't say it, I plan to fight to the death with hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops in the three towns of Wuhan...."

"Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean?" Zuo Quan asked with a puzzled expression.

"Just as Counselor Wang said just now. The fundamental purpose of the Japanese army in changing its tactics was to exchange the heavy losses of our East China Field Army through street fighting and their sacrifices. At the same time, our East China Field Army was dragged to death in the three towns of Wuhan. Of course, there is another reason that you didn't think of, and that is that the Japanese army dragged us in the three towns of Wuhan, and not only for the sake of other Japanese troops in the Lianghu area. It's to give the Japanese army invading China in the entire territory of Zhengguo more time to rest and replenish..."

"This method is not critical for the entire strategy of the Japanese army. However, a bad one, the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops stationed in the three towns, and even the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Mijiro, will become a battle merit in our hands....Just because General Umezu Mijiro can make such a decision at such a critical juncture, I, Liu Hua, admire this old devil..."

"Since General Umezu Mijiro has prepared such a big trap for us in Wuhan City, of course we can't stupidly jump into it. The Japanese army wanted to fight with us in the streets, wanted to put us to death and survive, and dragged us to the three towns of Wuhan. Then I'm not as good as he wants..."Liu Hua replied confidently.

"Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean?"

"After the troops have taken all the positions outside the city. Leave a corps, surround the entire three towns for me, and trap all the remnants of the Japanese army in the city, and not a single person can be released. Then, the remaining troops immediately set off and launched an attack on the second target of attack, so as to destroy as much as possible the living forces of the Japanese army in the Lianghu area..."Liu Hua replied.

Liu Hua's answer is obviously the same as Chief of Staff Zuo Quan's thoughts. However, after a short period of contemplation, a problem that had to be faced quickly came to Zuo Quan's mind. Then, facing Liu Hua beside him, he continued to ask. ..., "Commander-in-Chief, I have the same idea. However, there is another problem that we must face. Even if we occupy all positions outside the city. After a week of fighting, the Japanese troops lost in our hands were only about 60,000 men. In this way, the entire three towns of Wuhan gathered at least 90,000 elite Japanese troops... With 90,000 elite Japanese troops and sufficient logistical reserves in the city, it is not impossible for them to hold the city for a year, or even a few years. Could it be that we have been putting a corps of troops in the three towns of Wuhan to besiege and monitor this Japanese army..."

Regarding the issue of leftist power, Liu Hua, who has a certain understanding of the current world pattern, obviously has specific ideas. As soon as the words of the Chief of Staff of Zuo Quan fell, a sneer appeared on Liu Hua's face. Opening.

"Chief of Staff, don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks."

Seeing the chief of staff who was still uneasy in front of him, Liu Hua explained very simply.

"Chief of Staff, what is the purpose of the Kwantung Army's intention to fight street battles with us in the three towns of Wuhan. Think about it, what would have happened if their purpose had not been achieved... I believe that as long as we pass this battle, we will completely besiege the remnants of the Kwantung Army in these cities and make them unable to move. When the time comes, as long as we can draw half of our troops to the south or north, it is not us who is in a hurry, but the entire Japanese army that invades China, the military headquarters of the little devils..."

"In addition, Chief of Staff, the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been fought until now, and it is not far from the end. Our strategic vision should not simply be confined to our own country, but should be put into the whole world and be on par with the whole world..."

Seeing the confident look on Liu Hua's face, he heard Liu Hua's answer. As the chief of staff, Zuo Quan, although there are still some things he doesn't understand, especially the last sentence of the commander-in-chief Liu Hua. However, the face that was worried just now has become relaxed at this moment.

"Commander-in-Chief, I seem to have understood a little. I will immediately go and give new combat orders to the ministries. In addition, I will ask you the last sentence you said in a moment, how to put your own strategic vision into this world, what kind of benefits will this have for my East China Field Army7......." Zuo Quan replied with a cheerful face.
