Chapter 239 Wuhan Strategy (Part 2)

Chen Cheng and Cai Wenzhi stood beside the sand table. Gao Fei picked up the baton from the side and cleared his throat and said, "Sir, Wuhan is located on the eastern edge of the Jianghan Plain, lies between the Yangtze River and sweat, and guards the Pinghan and Guangdong-Han Railways. It is the heart of China and the hub of water and land transportation in the southeast, northwest and north. Its strategic position is very important. From a tactical perspective, the three towns in Wuhan are easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the suburbs of Wuhan, especially Jiangbei, are not at risk. Therefore, strategically, we should guard Wuhan instead of fighting in Wuhan, and put the main force in the periphery of Wuhan. With the Poyang Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, Jiuling Mountains in the north of the Yangtze River, the hills on both sides of the Yangtze River, the lake area is included.

Perform protracted operations, restrain and consume the Japanese army's vital forces and combat readiness materials, weapons and ammunition, and stand by with a powerful part in Wuhan. Once a fighter plane appears, immediately launch a counterattack against the Japanese army in front of him and crush the Japanese army's attempt to siege and attack! The Japanese army's national strength is almost the same as its strategic reserve materials. If our army engages in a large-scale war of attrition with the Japanese army under the city of Wuhan, then I dare to conclude that the Japanese army's strategic offensive in our country should stop here. Even if Wuhan is lost, it has nothing to do with the overall situation! It is planned to continue to fight with the Japanese army in Changsha in the next step, and the war will develop in a long-term manner. The War of Resistance Against Japan has entered a stalemate stage."

Chen Cheng and Cai Wenzhi looked at each other in surprise? Because the strategic deployment Gao Fei mentioned was actually the result of the previous secret meeting. The participants of the meeting that day were all senior officials of the National Government, so Gao Fei could never know it. Cai Wenzhi took a deep breath. Before he could speak, a burst of applause suddenly sounded outside the door? Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice to the Mountains and Rivers 48839

Gao Fei looked at the door of the office and found a major general of the Soviet army with bright leather boots standing at the door, looking at him with a very excited gaze. Gao Fei frowned slightly because the major general of the Soviet army actually made him feel familiar? Who is this major general of the Soviet army?

Chen Cheng smiled slightly and said to Gao Fei: "This is Major General Zhukov from the Soviet Military Advisory Group. Gao Fei's strategic intentions are basically the same as those of Major General Zhukov and Cai Wenzhi. They even have amazing imaginations, which just verifies the same sentence as the heroes see!"

Zhukov looked at Gao Fei and spoke Russian. The translator standing behind him hurriedly said, "Major General Zhukov asked you what military academy you graduated from? Do you have any experience in studying abroad?"

Gao Fei smiled proudly and said: "I am a student of Huangpu and a member of the country. I am extremely proud of my identity as a Huangpu soldier. This war was imposed on the Chinese people by Japanese imperialism. Although our army's training and weapons are not as good as the enemy, and the land has fallen by more than half, the blood and blood of our Huangpu soldiers are not cold yet! My Huangpu soldiers charge forward every time, and countless casualties are killed and injured. They also recast the Great Wall for the country and nation with their flesh and blood to defend the independence and national freedom! It is the soul of my Huangpu military."

Zhukov nodded and said to Chen Cheng: "A country with such a soldier will never be defeated by the enemy. I believe that China will be the final winner in this war!"

Who is Zhukov? Gao Fei naturally knew that for this famous Soviet general who was famous during World War II, although Zhukov was still a major general who came to China to act as a military adviser to avoid the unknown purge in the country, Gao Fei had already felt a little pressure at this moment. Facing Zhukov's wise gaze, Gao Fei deeply understood what it means to be a famous scholar.

Zhukov was promoted to deputy commander of the Belarusian Special Military Region in 1938 after serving as a short-term military adviser in China. In September 1939, the Japanese army carried out armed provocations in the Kalha River area, and the situation in the Far East was tense. Zhukov was appointed as the commander of the First Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia to command the battle against Japan. In a short period of time, he successfully organized and implemented the Battle of Kalha River, and achieved a huge victory of annihilated more than 50,000 enemies at the small price of more than 9,000 casualties.

In this battle, Zhukov showed his outstanding command and organizational ability. He was good at coordinating the actions of infantry, artillery, tank soldiers and aviation, boldly implemented roundabout encirclement, and unexpectedly annihilated the main force of the enemy. His theory of concentrated use of tanks was also confirmed in actual combat. Zhukov returned to Moscow triumphantly, praised by the whole country, and was awarded the title of hero of the Soviet Union. It can be said that the battle at this point completely dispelled the Japanese's strategic intention of advancing north.

As the attendee of the strategic deployment meeting, Gao Fei participated in such a high-level strategic meeting for the first time, but the dullness of the meeting made Gao Fei unexpected. Almost everyone, including Chen Cheng, seemed to be a little cautious. Gao Fei then realized that at this strategic meeting, everyone was responsible for every word he said. The process of the meeting also seemed very slow. People seemed to waste time repeatedly on the details and turned a blind eye to the issues of the composition of the battle and tactical implementation at the strategic level? Is a group of blind and deaf people discussing the decisive battle that determines China's destiny? It is good to protect yourself, but this seems a bit too much.

At the dinner that followed, Gao Fei looked at the rows of steaks and red wine, caviar and champagne, and the vodka that was blue in exquisite bottles, which seemed a little dazed, as if it was too extravagant! You should know that many officers and soldiers at the forefront were unable to eat, and they were precious to resist the Japanese invaders with few bullets in the gun chamber.

After drinking a few cups of vodka, Zhukov seemed to have become talkative. He talked with Gao Fei with a few half-baked Chinese and a lot of Russian. However, Zhukov obviously dared not speak out about many things in the Soviet Union. When he mentioned it, he was a little scared and avoided!

Gao Fei naturally knew that the Soviet Union had basically formed a highly centralized and unified economic system. In line with this, political power also tended to be highly concentrated. The cult of personality for Stalin and Stalin's arbitrary stance on power within the Soviet system are becoming the dominant tendency in the Soviet political field.
