After Hu Hao came back from those soldiers, he went to the headquarters and sat down, and the people next to him did not dare to disturb him, the casualties in the past few days were too great, although the sacrifices were not much, but Hu Hao had already used 300,000 troops, and there were still 100,000 troops left in a defense line in Zuihou, and 40,000 were mobilized tonight.

"Second stunned, we can't hold out for a few days, the casualties are too great now, so far, we have sacrificed more than 70,000 people, and there are more than 90,000 wounded, if we continue to consume like this, we will have to mobilize troops from Shandong!" Deputy Commander Xu sat opposite Hu Hao and smoked a cigarette and said.

"No, that's enough!" Hu Hao smoked a cigarette and looked at the map, then knocked his hand on the table.

"Report, telegram from Deputy Commander Zhang!" A staff officer came over with a telegraph operator and said.

"Read!" Hu Hao spit out a word from his mouth,

"Yes, Deputy Commander Zhang, our army has completed the occupation of the area north of Nanchang in Jiangxi today, so far, our first strategic goal has been achieved, but because the national army has now occupied Zhejiang and Fujian, so now our second strategic goal can not be achieved, and now the devil has shrunk in Jiangsu, and there are currently about 100,000 troops, please indicate whether to fight.

In addition, our army now has more than 70,000 casualties, of which 30,000 have been sacrificed! The telegraph operator took the telegram and read it.

When the cadres next to them heard this, they all clenched their fists, now that the Independent Army has more than 3 provincial bases, if the Independent Corps is given time to develop, the Shili of the Independent Corps can expand rapidly.

“haha。 Okay, it's a good fight, and Deputy Commander Zhang is a good fight. This time, our Shili in Yan'an is big! Deputy Commander Xu said happily.

"Well, tell them that the Nanjing side should not fight, the troops are not enough, we can't hold it after the battle, and we will fight after half a year, and now we will manage these places well, and the other thing is to do a good job of resting the troops. In Jiangxi, Anhui recruited troops again, with the goal of recruiting another 500,000 troops. Weapons first use devils, now we have plenty of weapons! Hu Hao then spoke.

"Yes!" The staff officer saw that the other chiefs had no opinion, and immediately took the telegram and went out.

"Two stunned. There are now 100,000 devils in Jiangsu. If we grit our teeth, we can do it! Deputy Commander Xu looked at Hu Hao and asked.

"It's not that simple, first, our forces are indeed insufficient, and it is already the limit to be able to take these places, and second, if we defeat Jiangsu, who will it belong to? To us or to the army,

The third. Now if there are no devils on the side of the national army, they will definitely make trouble for us. Whether we can fight is secondary, after we have been defeated, how will we deal with the relationship with the national army, this is another big problem, and when we solve the problem here, we can consider things over there! Hu Hao smoked a cigarette and began to analyze,

He also wanted to bring down Jiangsu, but after the defeat, there were too many things, and he had no way to deal with those things, and if he didn't do it, he could cause the result he didn't want the most!

"Well, too, we have to deal with this problem, if we don't fight, we won't fight, and when we have rested our troops, we will come again, this place in Jiangsu, we must take those places!" Political Commissar Wang nodded beside him and said.

"Also, after taking it, it's a big trouble, let's wait, we're the weakest time now, if someone stabs us in the back at this time, then all our achievements over the years will be in vain!" Deputy Chief of Staff Liu also nodded and said.

"Haha, it seems that I'm too greedy, damn, I'm always thinking about whether to get those places back, and now it seems that it's impossible, and we're really having a problem with our strength now!" Deputy Commander Xu said with a wry smile, just now he was thinking about whether he wanted to get all the devils in the south out, but now it seems that it can't be done.

"Report, Chongqing telegram!" A staff officer came over with a telegram and asked.

"Okay, show me!" Hu Hao stretched out his hand, and the telegraph operator gave the telegram to Hu Hao. Hu Hao took the telegram and began to read it.

"Hmph, damn, you're greedy enough, you just won a few battles and you don't know how many catties and taels you have?" Hu Hao laughed after reading the telegram. At the same time, the telegram was sent to Deputy Commander Xu.

After Deputy Commander Xu read it, he gave the telegram to the others.

"Second stunned, what is your opinion, the national army wants to fight Jiangsu, and you want us to help them defend the flank, what do you think?" Deputy Commander Xu asked Hu Hao, who was thinking.

"If you want to hit him, let him hit it, so that he doesn't bleed on the forehead. They didn't know the pain, and told them that the flanks were handed over to me, and if they had the ability, they would knock down Jiangsu! Hu Hao said to the chief of staff.

"Dumbfounded, if that's the case, what if the national army really fights?" Deputy Commander Xu asked Hu Hao in disbelief.

"He took his life to fight, the devils have been operating in Jiangsu for many years, permanent fortifications are everywhere, and now to fight Nanjing, the casualties are greater than ours here,

And as long as they fight Nanjing, the devils will definitely mobilize troops from other places to reinforce the past, the devils have a navy, and the troops can land anywhere along the coast, fight, to put it lightly, they have won a few battles, and they don't know the east, west, north and south! Hu Hao sat down and said with a sneer.

"Then what do you mean the national army can't beat this time?" Deputy Chief of Staff Liu asked Hu Hao.

"It's impossible to fight, unless you mobilize elite troops from Southeast Asia!" Hu Hao said affirmatively.

"Report, Li Zongren telegram!" A staff officer came in again and said, Hu Hao took the telegram and looked at it carefully,

"Haha, there is finally a sober person, tell him, fight Jiangsu, let him be ready to sacrifice 300,000, if you have this preparation, go to fight, if not, give me honest collection of troops and do a good defense!" Hu Hao said with a telegram. The staff officer went out, and the others also took Hu Hao's telegram and read it.

"Second stunned, this Li Zongren is not simple, he is still sober! This man will be a fierce rival in the future! Deputy Commander Xu said to Hu Hao after reading the telegram.

"He can't become a fierce enemy, he has an idea, but he has no decision!" Hu Hao stood up, then walked to the map and said.

When the others heard Hu Hao say this, they all looked at his back. They didn't expect to hear this sentence from Hu Hao's mouth, those people all looked at each other, and suddenly found that Hu Hao's growth seemed to have been far underestimated by them!

On the Chongqing side, Li Zongren received a telegram from Hu Hao, and then sent the telegram to the commander-in-chief.

"Commander, Hu Hao's telegram is proof, or it is recommended not to fight Jiangsu, as far as Shili in the south is concerned, now Hu Hao's Shili is bigger than us, he doesn't fight Jiangsu, how can we fight, now Hu Hao said, I must be prepared to sacrifice 300,000 soldiers, Commander, I don't have so many soldiers on my hands!" Li Zongren said as he stood in front of the commander.

"Hey, Niang Xipi, is it really not good?" The commander stood up and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back a few times, then asked Li Zongren.

"Commander, it's really not good, our forces are limited, unless we mobilize troops from the southwest, otherwise, we can't fight at all!" Li Zongren continued.

"Okay, strengthen the defense, just right, the 3 provinces we have newly conquered, you also have to govern them well, I will carefully appoint the cadres over there, to learn from Shandong, don't mess around!" The commander let out a breath and made up his mind.

"Yes!" The generals were all stunned.

"What is the situation in Shanhaiguan now?" The commander then asked.

"It's not good, Hu Hao's casualties are too great, and now the hospital in Beiping City is full of wounded members of the Independent Army!" A person from the intelligence department next to him immediately reported. "Well, the Kwantung Army, you still can't underestimate it!" The Commander nodded.

"Yes, now Hu Hao has no more than 100,000 troops at his disposal, and more than 30,000 wounded people come down from the battlefield every day, Hu Hao can't hold out for a few days.

Now the Eighth Route Army is already preparing troops for Hu Hao, many of the Eighth Route Army has been assembled in Zhangjiadian, as long as Hu Hao needs troops, they will immediately go over to reinforce, and now the pressure on the Eighth Route Army is also very great, they have to prevent the devils from attacking Hu Hao from the flank in the direction of Mongolia, so now the whole Yan'an is at the most critical time! The intelligence staff officer explained again.

"Well, Niang Xipi!" The commander scolded, and he didn't ask in detail, and those people didn't know what the commander meant, and they didn't know who he was scolding!

"Commander, we don't want to push to Yan'an from behind, after all, their troops in the Central Plains are empty now!" An admiral tentatively wanted to suggest to the commander,

He said this. The others all looked at the commander, but Li Zongren did sigh in his heart. After hearing his question, the commander looked at Li Zongren.

"I don't recommend this, unless Hu Hao is sure to lose in Shanhaiguan!" After Li Zongren saw the commander's eyes, he said to the commander.

"If we wait until Hu Hao loses, the devil will come, and we will occupy it by then, and we will not have time to defend ourselves!" The admiral who proposed it immediately refuted Li Zongren.

"Well, you can attack tentatively, but you have to control it well, don't start a big conflict, we can move our troops to their base and let them fire first!" The commander made up his mind and said, he is not convinced now, now that Yan'an has occupied such a large place, if he is not compressed, then China will really not have the final say!

"Yes!" The admirals immediately saluted and spoke.

"Commander, if that's the case, when Hu Hao finishes fighting Shanhaiguan, he wants to make trouble, what should we do?" After Li Zongren heard the commander's order, he asked. (To be continued......)
