Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Mr. Liang Gong, poor equipment may not necessarily make him weak in combat power."

"It's not just a matter of equipment." Yu Liangzhen shook his head and said, "The Sichuan Army's discipline is not good, and they can do things like beggars begging along the street."

"I don't think so." Zhong Yi said, "It's better for them to beg along the street than grab it, right?"

"Anyway, I don't like this group of beggars." Yu Liangzhen said, "If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese came too many troops this time, if it weren't for Gu Shutong, Xue Boling and Li Guangxi who really couldn't draw more reinforcements, I would never have wanted these beggars. It would be too embarrassing."

In the words, Yu Liangzhen was filled with contempt for the Sichuan Army.

Even with the 122nd Division of Wang Mingzhang and the 145th Division of Rao Guohua, it is still not enough to reverse the prejudice of senior national generals like Yu Liangzhen against the Sichuan Army.

But Zhong Yi has no prejudice against the Sichuan Army.

Zhong Yi not only had no prejudice against the Sichuan Army, but was full of respect.

Because Zhong Yi knows better than anyone else how brave the Sichuan Army is!

During the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Sichuan Army was not necessarily very beautiful in battles, and the results of their performance were really not much, but when it comes to the level of heroism and the determination to fight to the end of the bloody battle, no one can match!

Not to mention anything else, there is no senior general of the Sichuan Army who treasons and surrenders to the enemy, which is enough to illustrate the problem!

So Zhong Yi did not refuse the arrival of the Sichuan Army at all. Instead, he did not refuse, but instead welcomed him. For the entire Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone, there were not too many Sichuan Army, too few!

Where is only sixteen divisions enough? There are no more than sixty divisions!

However, Zhong Yi did not argue with Yu Liangzhen because there was no need to argue.

Once the third Zhejiang-Fujian Battle is really started, it is him, the chief of staff, not the commander-in-chief Yu Liangzhen, who is the real commander-in-chief.

Yu Liangzhen also knew this and shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I don't need to have a headache about the problem of the Sichuan Army. How to settle down and how to use the 16 divisions of these four armies is Zi Ren's business, I don't care."

"No problem." Zhong Yi said, "I will arrange these four armies."

It’s nothing more than food, salary and equipment. Zhong Yi really has a way to solve this problem.

Let’s talk about equipment first. The Japanese equipment seized from the two Zhejiang-Fujian battles were all eaten in the warehouse. We had never found suitable equipment for troops before, because front-line troops did not need Japanese equipment, so it would be too wasteful to distribute it to militias.

Now this problem has been solved, and all the four armies of the Sichuan Army have been replaced with Japanese equipment.

As for food and wages, it is easy to solve. There is enough food and enough corn flour.

Before, the two million tons of corn ordered from the United States during the grain war with Yinjiang grain merchants had consumed only a small part of it, and the remaining corn was enough to support it for more than ten years.

As for military pay, there is no.

Not only the Sichuan Army, but also the 10th Army, the 41st Army also had no military pay.

During the war years, the national army's finances were already so difficult, so how could there be any military pay? At most, you can issue some shopping coupons and get some necessities such as towels, cigarettes, etc.

Zhong Yi also believed that all the soldiers of the Sichuan Army could accept it.

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army stepped out of Sichuan's War of Resistance and did not come to enjoy the happiness, they came to fight the Japanese.

In other words, just give them food, guns, and bullets!

So Zhong Yi was not worried about the Sichuan Army at all, and even said to Yu Liangzhen: "Duke Liang, I really think the Sichuan Army is pretty good. Otherwise, you would like to talk to the principal and ask the Military Commission to transfer a dozen more Sichuan military advisors? Even if there is no established Sichuan military advisor, even if there is a 100,000 Sichuan troops to replenish the troops, it would be fine."

"Uh..." Yu Liangzhen asked in surprise, "Zi Ren, are you serious?"

"Yes, Liang Gong, I'm serious." Zhong Yi said, "If possible, I really hope that the Military Commission can recruit 100,000 or even 200,000 to our Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone. Oh, by the way, all the rations consumed by the supplementary soldiers along the way will be supplied by our Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone, and we will never cause trouble to the brother war zone."

Yu Liangzhen's expression also became serious and said, "Okay, I will talk about this."

After pausing, Yu Liangzhen continued to ask Zhong Yi: "Zi Ren, now tell me the truth. Can we still win the third Zhejiang-Fujian Battle?"

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Duke Liang, it is impossible to win the third Zhejiang-Fujian Battle."

"What did you say?" Yu Liangzhen's face suddenly became dark and said, "It's impossible to win?"

"Yes, it is absolutely impossible to win the third Zhejiang-Fujian battle." Zhong Yi changed his words without Yu Liangzhen's expression of displeasure, and continued, "The best result is to get a draw, creating a stalemate."

Yu Liangzhen frowned and asked, "What about the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway? Can it still be guaranteed to be smooth?"

"It's impossible." Zhong Yi said, "The Japanese soldiers are too strong, and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi highway will definitely be cut off."

"That's all." Yu Liangzhen said annoyedly, "If the Zhejiang-Jiangxi highway is cut off, the outside world's raw materials cannot be transported, and the Yinjiang industrial products cannot be transported out, in less than a few months, we will be in a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, and we will be unable to fight again."

"That won't be." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Liaogong, Yinjiang Tricycle Factory is vigorously expanding the production capacity of tricycles, and more than a dozen counties in central, western and southern Zhejiang are vigorously building mechanized farming roads that can be used by tricycles. Therefore, even if the Zhejiang-Jiangxi highway is cut off by the Japanese, the transportation line will not be interrupted."

Yu Liangzhen said: "What do you mean, is it to break the whole into pieces?"

"Yes." Zhong Yi said with great emphasis, "The Japanese army cut off the main line at most."

"No, no." Yu Liangzhen said, "What if the Japanese army divided their troops to garrison?"

"Subdivided troops to garrison?" Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Then I can't ask for anything. If the Japanese army really divides troops to garrison, it will give our army a chance to defeat each one."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi said again: "Donald Liang, only one thing is that the difficulty of the third Zhejiang-Fujian Battle will exceed everyone's imagination and may last for a long time. Therefore, whether it is Liang Duke, you, the senior general of the Chief Office, or the officials of Zhejiang-Fujian provinces, you must be mentally prepared enough."

"This is necessary." Yu Liangzhen said solemnly, "When I go back, I convene a meeting of relevant personnel from both military and political circles."

Zhong Yi said again: "There is also the preparation of human resources. Liang Gong, you must not only strive for Sichuan-borne troops from the Military Commission, but also make Chairman Huang prepare enough civilians in advance. Moreover, this time, the difficulties and dangers that civilians will face will be far greater than the previous two battles in Zhejiang and Fujian, and the sacrifice will be greater!"
