Chapter 1508 Picking up a strong man
"The whole country is fighting?" Principal Chang's expression suddenly condensed when he heard this.
Hearing this sentence, Principal Chang immediately recalled the Battle of Shanghai three years ago.
During the Battle of Songhu three years ago, the National Government also fought against the whole country. President Chang mobilized almost all the troops he could mobilize to the battlefield of Songhu.
But in the end, a big defeat was defeated.
This memory made Principal Chang unhappy.
Liu Sheng saw the unhappiness of Principal Chang and said, "Principal, don't worry. This whole country and the battle with the Shanghai Battle is still unmoved. We are hasty in the Battle of Songhu, and we are not prepared in all aspects. However, this time, the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone has been fully prepared."
In fact, there is another sentence that Liu Sheng didn't say.
The biggest difference between this Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian and the Battle of Shanghai is the difference between the Supreme Commander.
The supreme commander of the Battle of Shanghai was Lao Chang, a military layman, but the supreme commander of the Third Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian was Zhong Yi, a real military genius.
So the situation will become completely different.
Even if you cannot win in the end, the situation will definitely not collapse like the Battle of Songhu.
But Principal Chang still had some concerns and asked him to take all his wealth and life again, and to launch a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army on the battlefield of Zhejiang and Fujian that was related to the country and nation. He really didn't dare.
What if you lose? This is a decisive battle!
At this time, Zhang Zhizhong hurried into the study room, holding a telegram in his hand.
"Principal." Zhang Zhizhong reported as soon as he came in, "An emergency call had just been sent from the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone."
"Immediate electricity from the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone?" Principal Chang asked anxiously, "What did the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone say?"
Zhang Zhizhong said with a serious expression: "The telegram said that the situation faced by the Third Zhejiang-Fujian Campaign is beyond imagination, so they hope that the commander can provide enough manpower support."
Principal Chang's expression sank, meaning that there are not enough soldiers?
I also hope that the Commander can draw more troops from each theater?
But now there are eight armies on the establishment table of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone, how many more do you need?
Is it really necessary to transfer the entire 41 army group to the battlefield in Zhejiang and Fujian? How is that possible?
After a brief pause, Zhang Zhizhong continued: "Specifically, the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone hopes that the commander-in-chief can draw 200,000 Sichuan troops out of Sichuan as soon as possible. In addition, if possible, it is best to mobilize another 300,000 to 500,000 Sichuan troops to strengthen the army. Once necessary, they will leave Sichuan immediately and rush to the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield!"
"Another 200,000 Sichuan troops were transferred?" Principal Chang was stunned when he heard this.
Bai Chongbei and Liu Sheng also looked at each other. Did Zhong Ziren's head be kicked by a donkey?
With so many provinces and so many soldiers in the country, the Sichuan Army has the worst combat effectiveness, but do you just want the Sichuan Army?
We have to prepare another 300,000 to 500,000 Sichuan soldiers. Do you want so many beggars to go to the battlefields of Zhejiang and Fujian to fuck birds? Are you going to beg for the Japanese to make the Japanese poor? What a joke?
Principal Chang was not very convinced and asked in surprise: "Wen Bai, what did the telegram say?"
"Yes." Zhang Zhizhong didn't say much, but handed the telegram in his hand to Principal Chang.
The telegram was clearly written in black and white, and Principal Chang couldn't help but feel a little confused after reading it.
Zhong Yi really didn't play according to the routine. He originally thought that Zhong Yi would ask him for elite troops including the 9th Army, but Zhong Yi asked him for the Sichuan Army.
Even if you are a reserved strong man, you can also refer to a strong man in Sichuan.
Did Zhong Yi discover the secret of the Sichuan Army? Is it a hidden powerful soldier?
It’s just that others can’t find the right way to open, so the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army is so bad, but Zhong Yi accidentally discovered the right way to open?
At that moment, President Chang asked Bai Chong sadly: "Jiansheng, what do you think about this?"
Bai Chong was not sure what Zhong Yi meant, and said in a deep thought: "Principal, I thought the requirements of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone were reasonable. In short, this Zhejiang-Fujian Battle is related to the life and death of the National Government. The eight existing army groups alone may not last long, so it is inevitable to draw troops to reinforce."
"And, it may not be enough to just draw 200,000 Sichuan troops."
"Bizhi discussed with De Gong and Guangxi will draw another 100,000 troops to supplement the troops!"
"And these supplementary soldiers are the members of the original militia, and have a certain military foundation. After reaching the front line, they do not even need to conduct military training. They can go to the battlefield as long as weapons are distributed."
Bai Chongbei’s words were obscure, but Principal Chang understood it immediately.
To put it bluntly, these 100,000 supplementary soldiers were laid off during the disarmament.
In other words, the Guangxi clan has never laid off its army, but just changed its name from a regular army to a militia.
However, there is no need for Principal Chang to pursue the matter anymore. After all, the Guangxi clan is now sincere enough. Not only has the most elite Seventh Army been transferred to the front line, but now he has even taken out the hidden 100,000 supplementary soldiers. There is nothing to say. In a word, the Guangxi clan has fought hard for the war of resistance.
At that moment, President Chang held Bai Chong's hand and said sincerely: "Jiansheng, convey my gratitude to Delin for me. The people of the whole country will always remember you, your kindness, Delin and the children of Guangxi!
"The principal is so serious." Bai Chong said sadly, "As descendants of Yan and Huang, isn't this our obligation?"
"That's right." Principal Chang smiled and said, "Then arrange for these 100,000 to replenish troops as soon as possible."
After a pause, President Chang said to Zhang Zhizhong again: "Wenbai, please call the Ministry of Military Affairs and Political Affairs and ask them to arrange 200,000 Sichuan troops to replenish their troops from Sichuan as soon as possible and go to the front line as soon as possible."
"Yes." Zhang Zhizhong agreed and turned around and left in a hurry.
Bai Chongbei and Liu Sheng also stood up and said, "Principal, then we will say goodbye too."
"Well, then I won't give it to you." Principal Chang watched the two of them leave.
After seeing off Bai Chongbei and Liu Sheng, the study immediately became silent. Then a figure walked out from the inside, but it was the US Ambassador to China, Jansen.
Jansen said: "Mr. Chang, your situation is not optimistic?"
"Yes, it's not optimistic." President Chang nodded and said, "So I urgently want to know the US government's attitude towards this battle. If the Japanese army launches a large-scale attack on Yinjiang City, is it possible for the United States to participate in the war?"
"No." Jansen shook his head flatly, "Although there are thousands of American-funded enterprises in Yinjiang Industrial Park, these are just private enterprises after all, and they cannot represent the US government. Therefore, even if the Yinjiang Industrial Park is destroyed, the US government will not send troops for them. Mr. Chang should not have expectations."
Jansen's words were very direct, which was already contrary to diplomatic principles.
Principal Chang was disappointed after hearing this, and the United States refused to come forward.
