Chapter 1346 kill two birds with one stone
What made the chairman most worried was that the Hu Ben Army's big move attracted hundreds of thousands of elite Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast to head south, which put huge military pressure on the First and Second War Zones, seriously threatening the security behind Anhui University.
At that time, the Chairman had an ominous premonition, and was worried that the scene of "gods and immortals were suffering in wars."
So, at that time, the Chairman ordered Jiang Mingshan, the commander-in-chief of the 1st War Zone stationed in Henan, and Yan Bochuan, the second commander-in-chief, to strengthen the defense of the Yellow River, and to ensure that the Japanese should guard the door and prevent the Japanese from rushing to fight rabbits.
Now, man’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations!
The Japanese did not carry out military operations as expected and did not dare to cause trouble under the eyes of the Hu Ben Army. Instead, they "did no matter how far away" they transported the Kwantung Army from the Northeast to Shanghai by sea, and then entered Jiangxi through land transportation to join the Changsha Battle.
This not only completely disrupted the Chairman's defense layout, but also directly brought a cauldron to remove the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron. The Black Tiger opened his heart and pointed directly at the heart of the National Government, seriously threatening the southwest and the rear.
After a successful military adventure in the Far East, the Japanese Kwantung Army defeated the Soviet Far East Military Region in one fell swoop, which not only allowed Japan to expand its territory for thousands of miles, but also made the puppet Manchukuo lose military pressure from the Soviet Union.
The hundreds of thousands of the most elite Japanese Kwantung Army completely let go, not only could they go south to besiege the Chinese Hu Ben Army, but they could also go directly to the sea to attack the rear of the Kuomintang-controlled area.
Moreover, due to the butterfly effect, the United States has been unable to send troops to the Pacific Ocean and launch a large-scale frontal military war with the Japanese army. In addition, the Southeast Asian battlefield is as calm as water. These factors have led to the Japanese army being able to focus on and seriously solve the domestic battlefield in China.
I have to say that this situation is really bad, especially for the relatively weak national army.
However, after the Chairman finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet. No one answered the conversation, but frowned and thought.
It’s not that they don’t want to share their worries and sorrows for their leaders or show their intelligence, but that this proposition is too heavy.
More than 450,000 Japanese troops attacked Changsha, Hunan, including nearly 200,000 Kwantung Army, as well as a large number of technical equipment such as aircraft, tanks, cannons, etc., so such a heavy army cluster is really too difficult to deal with.
The Chairman also knew that this was a very difficult and troublesome problem, and it could not be solved in just a few words, so he did not urge him, but calmed down and waited for everyone to offer suggestions.
After pondering for a while, Chen Cixiu finally broke his silence and said, "Principal, I also have an immature idea, I don't know whether to speak or not."
The chairman waved his hand and said, "Ci Xiu, just say whatever you have. Is it necessary to hide it at this time?"
"yes!"
Chen Cixiu nodded and said, "Principal, I think we can start from two aspects. First, we can transfer all the elite troops of the Myanmar War Zone back to China. Anyway, the Myanmar War Zone has entered a state of confrontation, and there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese Tiger Army stationed there!
In this way, we can add at least 250,000 American armored troops in our country, which is undoubtedly a useful ace force!”
"There are only more than 200,000 expeditionary forces sent to the North African theater, and now we have to withdraw 250,000 troops from the Myanmar theater to return home. Will this lead to insufficient troops in the Myanmar theater and fall into crisis?"
The chairman frowned and said, "You must know that there are a total of 1 million Japanese troops in Thailand. Although most of them are newly formed divisions not long ago, they have a total of one million troops after all!"
The Chairman also wanted to withdraw the elite troops from the Myanmar War Zone back to the country, and to recover the lost territory as soon as possible, thereby greatly enhancing personal prestige and becoming the "genius wise ruler" of the Chinese nation.
But the problem is that the Myanmar war zone is becoming more and more important now. It can not only restrain millions of Japanese troops, but also continuously send fragrant and hot American equipment and strategic materials back to China. It is really a big supplement!
Zhang Wenbai agreed at this time: "It's really too risky to do this. The total strength of the Myanmar War Zone is only 700,000. If 250,000 are withdrawn at once, wouldn't it mean that there are 45 people left?"
Chen Xiuci shook his head and said, "Brother Wen Bai, the total strength of the Myanmar War Zone is now more than 700,000? You are too underestimating Yang Fan's expansion speed!"
Zhang Wenbai looked at Chen Cixiu in confusion and asked, "Is it far more than 700,000?"
Chen Cixiu replied without any haste: "Three months ago, when Yang Fan led the expeditionary force to North Africa, he had already expanded five armies and more than 100,000 local security forces, with a minimum of more than 700,000 troops.
In addition, the 5th Army, the 6th Army, the 66th Army, the 71st Army, the 31st Army, and the 22nd Army were all 1 million.
During these three months, the Myanmar War Zone added at least 200,000 troops to various field troops and local garrison troops.
Therefore, although the current Myanmar War Zone is mainly new recruits, there is not much change in total force, and it is even possible that it will increase instead of reducing!"
Zhang Wenbai was slightly surprised and said, "Doesn't this mean that the current total troop strength of the Myanmar War Zone is as large as 1 million?"
Chen Cixiu nodded with certainty and said, "That's of course! Although the expansion of the Tiger Ben Army in the Myanmar War Zone will not be submitted to the State Government, this information is not difficult to find out."
"Okay, even so, but as you said just now, basically they are mainly recruits, and their combat effectiveness may be..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Wenbai couldn't continue, because if he strongly said that the new recruits of the Hu Ben Army did not have much combat power, he wouldn't even believe it himself.
Yes, that's true!
In recent years, except for the final battle in the Battle of Myanmar, the recruits of the 4th Army of the Huber Expedition, which had not long been established, had collapsed at one point, and the Huber Expedition Army had never suffered diarrhea and abducted in the south and north battles.
Even though it is often the new army that has just expanded and is directly engaged in a fierce bloody battle!
Seeing that Zhang Wenbai had nothing to say, Chen Cixiu raised his eyebrows and continued: "There is another point we need to see clearly, that is, Yang Fan has regarded Myanmar as the thing in his pocket, and in fact it has been like this."
"The Japanese army has never given up on Myanmar, and Yang Fan will never give up on this fat piece. Maybe they should fight once we leave."
"So, I believe that even if all the troops of the national army are withdrawn, Yang Fan will not give up Myanmar. He will definitely let the Hu Ben Army stand firm in Myanmar and have the full ability to defend Myanmar."
"Of course, we still need to leave 10,000 or 20,000 people to ensure our interests in Myanmar and ensure that the military supplies provided by the Allied Army are transported to the country unimpededly."
"Well, at this stage we should focus on the domestic battlefield, and the country is the foundation of the national government!"
"Well said!"
“It was thoroughly analyzed!”
"It can not only make up for the lack of troops on the domestic battlefield, but it may also allow the Japanese army to fight against the Hu Ben army!"
"I think this plan is feasible!"
"I agree!"
"Address!"
After weighing the pros and cons, the rest of the people applauded and agreed with this good strategy that can kill two birds with one stone.
Chapter completed!
