The news that Liu Yuan was transferred back to Nanjing spread for a while, and the morale of the front-line soldiers all fell into a trough. Dispatched from the Southwest Special Administrative Region

troops, almost mutinied. The Whampoa officers called the headquarters continuously to ask what was going on.

Zhang Zhizhong came to the headquarters in person, Liu Yuan had already packed his clothes, and compared with Zhang Zhizhong's nervous expression, Liu Yuan's expression was more indifferent.

"Smack." A slap, Zhang Zhizhong was very hard, Liu Yuan's cheeks were flushed, but there was no hint of dodging.

"Coward, run away, how can I have a student like you." Zhang Zhizhong's expression was extremely angry, and the guards around him didn't hold it, they wanted to remind him that the man in front of him was the commander of the theater of operations, and the man who was most likely to become a real general this year.

Liu Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, straightened Zhang Zhizhong's military uniform, and then respectfully saluted Zhang Zhizhong, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that the principal is afraid, although I am the commander of the theater, there is one thing I can't change, that is, the country must have a voice, even if he is wrong." ”

"Bastard, you forgot, who has always opposed me leaving the front line, why are you leaving, just because of Chiang Kai-shek's words, then Chiang Kai-shek also said that I should leave too!" Zhang Zhizhong pointed at Liu Yuan and scolded.

"General, a soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty, and you can stay in the war zone, that's because although you are the commander's teacher, you still have an identity, that is, a general under the commander, but the commander also has an identity, that is, the chairman's subordinates, please don't block the way of our general, he is also a soldier."

"I won't let you go, if you go, what will happen to the 700,000 troops in the Songhu area, this is the essence of all the party-state, if we lose, we will not have the foundation to compete for the world in the future." Don't go, but I beg you. Zhang Zhizhong pulled Liu Yuan's arm.

Liu Yuan saw it for the first time, it turned out that Zhang Zhizhong such a mature soldier also had a vulnerable side, seeing that there was no one else around, Liu Yuan said in Zhang Zhizhong's ear, "The defeat of Songhu is certain, it's just a matter of losing the majority and less, in fact, it's the same whether I go or not, because our strategic purpose has been achieved, and I left at this time, it doesn't mean that there is no benefit, I can at least let the principal see that stubbornness sometimes has to pay the price." ”

"However, this is the heritage of our party-state." Zhang Zhizhong said anxiously, saying that Zhang Zhizhong had a connection with the Red Party, but at this moment, Liu Yuan found that Zhang Zhizhong was still a thorough Kuomintang.

"It doesn't matter, if the principal wants the party-state to last, I naturally have a way, if the principal wants the party-state to perish, I have no way, the road is chosen by himself." Liu Yuan finally left, and he left very thoroughly, and his colleagues in the staff department became listless and did not have any intention of working.

The Japanese General Staff celebrated, and the Japanese media cheered, "The young Besmarck in the East is gone, who will defend the Macedonian defense line for Chiang Kai-shek." ”

Liu Yuan left, but Zhang Zhizhong stubbornly stayed, and he knew the new former enemy commander-in-chief, Chen Cheng. I explained my opinion in detail.

Chen Cheng looked at Zhang Zhizhong for a long time before asking, "General, do you think it's okay for us to retreat rashly when we have been fighting the Japanese for almost a month?" How do we explain to the soldiers, will the 87th Division and the 88th Division agree? ”

"But are we opponents of the Japanese?" Zhang Zhizhong asked rhetorically, he knew that he had to be patient at this time.

"Hehe, the general doesn't have to worry, our losses are very large, but since the start of the war, Japan's losses have also been extremely heavy, from the war to the present, the Japanese have lost at least more than 30,000, what we are thinking about is to put the last straw that crushed the camel and put it on Hasegawa Kiyoshi." Chen Cheng was worried about Chiang Kai-shek's appointment of Liu Yuan as the commander of the theater of operations, and he knew that although Liu Yuan could fight, he was a junior after all.

Chen Cheng intended to let Liu Yuan command the Battle of Songhu, but that was also to hope that Liu Yuan would serve as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, or the commander-in-chief of the First Army, but Liu Yuan became the commander of the theater, and it was the Songhu area, commanding millions of troops, and Chen Cheng had a very unhappy feeling, and Liu Yuan did not have much success in the Songhu area, so what Liu Yuan wanted, he basically opposed.

"What about Luodian and Dachang?" Zhang Zhizhong understood that Chen Cheng still wanted to attack the Japanese army, but the attack would require the gathering of troops, so Luodian and Dachang would be in danger.

"General Liu Yuan's strategic vision is still very good, Dachang and Luodian are very important, this is true, but Matsui put the troops into the urban area, and the original troops suffered so heavy losses, do you think he has the ability to scatter beans into soldiers!" Chen Cheng felt that Zhang Zhizhong's question was too superficial, sad for him, he was not capable of commanding the front-line troops, at this level, how weak the Japanese were, so that he could once grasp the initiative, if he had come to Shanghai earlier, maybe the Japanese would have gone to sea.

Chen Cheng didn't realize that his ideas had deviated from the strategy at this time, and he didn't expect that Liu Yuan and Zhang Zhizhong had laid the foundation and won so many victories, which made Chen Cheng have a delusion.

Chen Cheng also makes sense to say this, that is, the intelligence information from the Military Intelligence Bureau misled him, and the Japanese base camp actually realized that there were spies in the Japanese army headquarters, but they could not find it, so the base camp formulated an intelligence misleading work, that is, to let the intelligence officers in China carry out wrong information, which affected the war, so Chen Cheng was misled.

Misled by false intelligence, Chen Cheng calculated that Matsui Shigen had at most 30,000 to 40,000 elite soldiers left, and the other troops should be divided into urban areas, Luodian, Dachang, Baoshan and other places.

"But Luodian and Dachang really can't be lost, there is our lifeline, if we lose it, we all have to die." Zhang Zhizhong said fiercely.

Chen Cheng's face was a little blushing, but he was able to come this far, it was not that he was not talented, he thought about it, "The Japanese army cooperates with the navy, air force, and tanks, and if the reinforcements launch an attack on Luodian, it is really not necessarily impossible." Chen Cheng couldn't help but think of one, two, eight, and hesitated for a while.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhizhong gratefully, but he happened to hear Zhang Zhizhong there to read the matter of Chairman Liu Yuan's transfer, but Chen Cheng didn't mean to make a small report, but asked, "Wenbai, what if I let Zhang Fakui transfer some troops." Although Zhang Fakui's Eighth Army was in charge of the north bank of Hangzhou and Pudong, I felt that the defense of Pudong was irrelevant. ”

"Yes, but none of the soldiers on the north bank of Hangzhou can be transferred, this is what Liu Yuan instructed before leaving." Zhang Zhizhong advised. "But the Tenth Army can still transfer some troops."

This time Chen Cheng was distracted, he didn't hear what Zhang Zhizhong said clearly, but asked lightly, "You can still keep the time many times." ”

"Four days." Zhang Zhizhong knew that Chen Cheng was determined, and as a subordinate, he could only obey orders.
