Chapter 1347 Heavenly Furnace Tactics

"This suggestion is very soon, I can discuss it again!"

The chairman nodded slightly. Although he did not make up immediately, a discerning person could already know that this matter was already inseparable.

As Chen Cixiu said just now, Myanmar has inevitably become another independent kingdom, and even Americans have acquiesced to this matter. Although the British Empire is a sect leader, it is currently unable to take care of itself and has no ability to change the status quo.

The Central Army naturally has no ability to occupy the nest, so it can only be second-rate, as long as it can ensure a steady stream of military supplies delivered to the country.

In this case, it would be a waste to continue to place 200,000 to 300,000 elite troops in Myanmar. It would be just enough to bring back home to enrich the anti-Japanese war forces and prepare for a tough battle with the Japanese.

As for what will happen in the future, we can only see when the time comes.

Thinking of this, the chairman threw a thumbs-up look at Chen Cixiu and continued, "Cixiu, didn't you say you had two suggestions? Then continue."

"Okay, principal."

Chen Cixiu nodded and said, "As the saying goes, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. When this nation is insured, it is natural that people do not distinguish between men, women, young and old, and land, and north, west and east. They all have the responsibility to defend their territory and fight against the war.

At present, the Hu Ben Army has broken through the numerous encirclements of the Japanese and puppet troops and has taken root in the northern Henan area. It has opened up a land transportation line with the Kuomintang-controlled area. So why can't they be dispatched to participate in the Battle of Changsha?"

"This seems to make sense!"

"Well said, that's what it should have been!"

"Well, everyone in the Anti-Japanese War has the responsibility. The Kuomintang army has fought hard on the front battlefield for so many years, but the Hu Ben Army is in a corner. It is time for them to go out of Shandong to fight against the war!"

"Well, they really have no reason to conceal it now!"

"Yes, we can't let them continue to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"This wishful thinking is very loud!"

"I just hope I won't be smart but will be mistaken for being smart!"

As Chen Cixiu finished speaking, the room was filled with wonderful expressions, some were applauding, some were filled with righteous indignation, and some were watching coldly, showing ridicule.

"Okay, well said!"

The chairman's face showed red light. He had actually been thinking about this idea for a long time, but he couldn't let this mouth open.

Because the Chinese Tiger Army is united and does not obey the direct dispatch of the National Government, if it rashly orders to dispatch troops but the other party ignores it at all, it will only embarrass myself to be unable to do anything at the moment.

At this time, you need to lead a rhythm, and then the chairman can follow the flow and communicate and negotiate in the name of the Military Commission of the National Government.

In this way, even if the agreement is not reached, it will not lose face and prestige. Instead, it will make Yang Fan more popular and weaken his personal reputation.

On January 4, the command post of the commander of the Ninth War Zone of Yuelu Mountain.

After knowing that the Japanese army would soon launch an unprecedented attack on the Ninth War Zone, Xue Boling moved the command post from Erlipai in Changsha to "several buildings near Aiwanting" on Yuelu Mountain in advance to facilitate nearby command during the Battle of Changsha.

Heavy artillery brigades were also arranged in Yuelu Mountain, which can take advantage of the geographical advantage of "good observation conditions and easy to detect firepower" on the top of the mountain to overlook the city, which can provide destructive blows to the most densely populated Japanese troops among the Japanese offensive forces.

After reading the emergency telegram issued by the Chairman himself, Xue Boling took a deep breath. An unprecedented pressure and burden made him feel extremely heavy and he felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Due to the responsibility and the end of the Second Changsha Battle, Xue Boling has been thinking about how to deal with the next attack of the Japanese army.

More than a month ago, Xue Boling convened commanders above the army in Changsha to attend the defense meeting and formulated a strategy named "Tianlu Tactics".

His idea was to equip troops in the depths of the lure and attack areas, and encircle and annihilate the Japanese army from all directions, just like melting iron and stone in a natural furnace.

The meeting decided that the 10th Army would defend Changsha to the death and entangle the Japanese army; the decisive battle area was chosen between the Liuyang River and the Laodao River. Xue Boling issued an order to Li Yutang: "Order your army to defend Changsha, strive for success, and strictly order the troops to fight, and do not retreat. Those who retreat without authorization will be killed without mercy."

Xue Boling's Tianfu tactics is to regard the battlefield centered on Changsha as a natural giant furnace that annihilates the Japanese army. Yang Sen's army has led the Japanese army into the Tianfu in Xinqiang River. What he needs now is powerful firepower from all directions.

The idea is good, but the question is, will the Japanese army drill into the furnace of the Tianfu as expected?

If the Japanese army indeed attacked Changsha and the main force gathered near Changsha, then as long as the Chinese army surrounded by all directions arrived in time, they could surround the Japanese army in the furnace and roast them.

In order to command the battles nearby, Xue Boling decided to draw a prison for the land and could not stay at the front line.

Yuelu Mountain is the highest point in Changsha. Here he can overlook the panoramic view of the battle through the Xiangjiang River and hear the sound of gunfire defending Changsha with his own ears.

At present, more and more information and signs show that the Japanese army is really going to attack Changsha again, and this time it is no longer a "small fight", but the first frontal battle with unprecedented scale after entering the stalemate stage.

The Chairman attached the highest importance to this. Not only did he urgently draw 250,000 US-armed troops from the Myanmar War Zone back to China to participate in the Changsha Battle, but he was also working hard to win over the Hu Ben Army to join the war through various channels and means.

In addition, the chairman also mentioned in the telegram that he would soon lead a group of senior generals to Nanyue to supervise the war and provide all the support and support that the Ninth War Zone could do.

It is precisely because of these that Xue Boling felt extremely stressed and his mind was filled with various thoughts for a moment.

If only Anan Weiji's 11th Army, which is currently confronting, comes to attack Changsha, he has enough confidence and strength to let this arrogant old Japanese savor taste the power of the Tianlu tactics and surround these Japanese soldiers in the furnace and roast them.

But now the situation is that the Japanese army's forces have more than doubled, and they are the elite Kanto Army from Manchukuo.

In addition, the more serious thing is that the 11th Army of the Japanese will add a large number of heavy equipment such as aircraft, tanks, cannons, etc.

This is undoubtedly like a tiger with wings, which suddenly caused the 11th Army to soar several times, and bicycles turned into motorcycles!

Although in these few months, the Ninth War Zone has also made up for a lot of effort, both soldiers and weapons and equipment have been greatly supplemented and strengthened.

In addition, the Chairman also urgently dispatched 250,000 US-equipped expeditionary forces to return to China for assistance, and it is very likely that the extremely powerful Hu Ben Army would also send troops to participate in the battle.

However, in such a large-scale decisive battle, there are too many various winning and defeat factors and uncertain factors. Whether the "Tianlu Tactics" previously conceived can still work has become an unknown.

This decisive battle that is crucial and even concerns the survival of the National Government, can only win but not lose!

But how can we fight to ensure that we only win but not lose?
