The meeting room was quiet again.

However, the senior generals attending the meeting still looked panicked on the faces.

Obviously, they have no confidence in the upcoming Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian!

The reason is very simple. At the Battle of Nanchang at the beginning of the year, Japan invested five divisions of troops, while the Ninth War Zone of the National Army invested four armies, including the 41st Army, which was at its peak. But what was the result? It was still defeated by Japan.

Now, the Japanese have more troops, but the Third War Zone only has one army in Zhejiang Province.

How can I fight this? This battle cannot be fought at all, and the strength of both sides is completely disproportionate!

Liu Jianxu's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the senior generals attending the meeting with cold eyes, and said, "But there is also good news. The commander has urgently transferred the 41st Army, which is resting in Wuyuan, to enter Zhejiang to provide assistance. Now, the 1st Division, the vanguard honorary vanguard of the 41st Army, should have entered Kaihua."

The senior generals attending the meeting finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, I no longer feel sad like I did just now.

With Luo Zhengying's 41st Army joining, although his strength is still huge, he has at least a try.

After pausing, Liu Jianxu continued: "According to the instructions of the commander-in-chief, the primary goal of our army in this Zhejiang-Fujian Battle is to protect the Zhejiang-Jiangxi highway and ensure the smooth flow of the Yinjiang Industrial Zone and the rear. Therefore, the unnecessary defense areas on the outer front line should be given up, and concentrate their forces to retreat to Zhuji and Pujiang front line."

"As for Jiande and Lanxi, the 41st Army will be responsible for the defense."

After another pause, Liu Jianxu continued: "Now, I will announce the division of defense zones..."

At this moment, a communications consultant hurried in and placed a telegram in front of Liu Jianxu.

Liu Jianxu also said it was a telegram from the chief of the war zone, but when he opened the folder, he found that it was an emergency telegram sent by the General Staff of the East Zhejiang Coast Defense Corps to the 10th Army.

The content of the telegram is a suggestion from Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi suggested that the 10th Army give up positional warfare and change to more flexible mobile warfare to annihilate the enemy in the movement.

Liu Jianxu frowned, "Mobile War"? Just kidding, if you really listen to Zhong Yi's abandonment of position war, who will take responsibility for the abandoned city and lost land? Is he Zhong Yi?

He Zhong Yi simply cannot take on this responsibility!

Seeing Liu Jianxu frowning and not speaking, Yu Liangzhen, who was sitting in the first place in the left head, asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

"It's your good subordinate Zhong Ziren, who gave us a very fucking suggestion." Liu Jianxu said, and handed the telegram to Yu Liangzhen.

Yu Liangzhen reached out to receive the telegram.

After reading the telegram, Yu Liangzhen didn't say anything, but handed the telegram to Xuan Tiewu who was sitting at his head.

After a while, all the senior generals here had read the telegram and whispered again.

To be honest, among the senior generals present, except for Yu Liangzhen and Zhang Yuannan, there is probably no third person who will have a good impression of Zhong Yi.

The reason is very simple, because Zhong Yi cut off the financial path of the 10th Army and even the Third War Zone, which made them unable to tighten their belts and live a hard life.

However, the suggestion made by Zhong Yi touched these senior generals.

In sports warfare, you don’t have to fight hard with the Japanese, so you can save your troops.

These senior generals of the Kuomintang were warlords who just wanted to preserve their strength.

Tao Guang, the commander of the 28th Army, pondered and said: "General, Bei Zhi thinks this is actually the most correct choice. According to the experience of the Nanchang Battle and the Suizao Battle, there is still a gap in the combat effectiveness of our Japanese soldiers. Basically, the strength of four armies is needed to tie the Japanese A-type division."

After a pause, Tao Guang said again: "There are now three Japanese divisions rushing towards Hangzhou, and our 10th Army and the 40th Army have only five armies. The difference in strength is too great. If you defend it to the death, you are worried that not only will you not be able to defend the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, but the army will eventually come in."

"I also thought Commander Tao was right." Xuan Tiewu, who had just become the commander of the 91st Army, also said, "If we move out of the way, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi highway will definitely be cut off in the early stages, but because our main force is still there, the Japanese cannot gain a foothold in central Zhejiang and western Zhejiang mountainous areas, and will eventually withdraw to Hangzhou, so the Zhejiang-Jiangxi highway will be kept!"

Both commanders said this, and the six division commanders and several deputy commanders also nodded and agreed.

Liu Jianxu suddenly felt aroused. If he made the decision to give up his position and let the Japanese incoming, he would have to bear the final result if the war was different from what the commander expected. However, if the decision was made by all the division commanders and above officers attending the meeting, he would have no responsibility.

After all, Liu Jianxu didn't want the 10th Army to fight against the Japanese.

Liu Jianxu said in a deep voice: "What do you mean is this method feasible?"

"Feable!" Everyone, including Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu Liangzhen, nodded vigorously.

Liu Jianxu turned his head and said to the communications staff beside him: "Immediately call the War Zone Chief Office and request that the guidelines for the Zhejiang-Fujian Battle be changed and positional warfare will be changed to mobile warfare!"

"Yes!" The communications officer turned and left.

...

The request of the 10th Army was soon transmitted to Yunxiu Tower, Chongqing through the commander's headquarters of the Third War Zone.

At this time, President Chang was convening a meeting with Chen Shi, He Yingpei, Bai Chongbei, Liu Sheng and others.

"Give up the positional war and turn to the mobile war?" Chen Shi frowned and said, "Isn't this the Communist Party's mud-legged routine? If we want to do the same, then it won't be mud-legged?"

Liu Sheng said: "I don't think so. I think as long as it is a good tactic, it should be used actively and boldly."

"Good tactics? I'm afraid it may not be." He Yingpei shook his head and said, "The front is given up, the troops will turn to the flanks, and they will lose contact with each other. Unified command has become empty talk. How can we support us when we encounter danger? In this way, will the Japanese army give each chance to defeat each other?"

Liu Sheng said: "Minister He is worried about the issue of command, so let's just find a way to strengthen command? For example, if the front-line communication stations are not enough, then add radio stations. If a senior general does not obey the command and refuses to save him, then the principal will give him a death order. I don't think anyone dares?"

Chen Shi said: "Even if the radio station is added, the communication and communication are unimpeded, and even if the senior generals on the front line strictly implement the orders of the front line command, we have never fought such a battle. If we have no experience, we will be afraid. At that time, we will not be able to become a rebellious dog! Not only can the Zhejiang-Jiangxi highway be blocked, but the troops will not be able to save them in the end."
