Jiang Baili said: "In other words, do you think the Japanese army's intention is Xuzhou?"

"Yes." Zhang Lingfu said, "The Japanese army's intention is Xuzhou. The reason I have said just now that once the Japanese army occupy Xuzhou, the occupied areas on the north and south lines will be connected in a large area. Whether it is to defend or continue to advance, the Japanese army will take the initiative, but our army is in a full passive position!"

Jiang Baili said: "So do you think the Japanese army's intentions will succeed?"

Zhang Lingfu said: "It depends on how our army's defense is deployed."

Jiang Baili said: "If the Battle of Xuzhou was commanded by you, how would you deploy defense?"

Zhang Lingfu said: "The Battle of Songhu and the disastrous defeat of Nanjing defense has fully proved that a simple internal decisive battle will never have any good results. If the Battle of Xuzhou does not want to repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Songhu and Nanjing, the tactics must be changed, and no longer simply concentrate troops and fight the Japanese army near Xuzhou City!"

Jiang Baili said: "Student Zhang Lingfu, what do you mean is to change the decisive battle on the inside to the decisive battle on the outside?"

"Yes, it must be changed to a decisive battle on the outside!" Zhang Lingfu said, "Because the decisive battle area on the inside is small and the space for maneuvering is limited, hundreds of thousands or millions of troops gather within dozens of kilometers. The Japanese army's firepower advantage can be fully utilized, but our army's military strength advantage is difficult to exert. The result can be imagined when one is reduced or the other is increased."

He paused and said, "This is also the main reason for the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Songhu!"

Jiang Baili nodded gently, and Zhang Lingfu's analysis was exactly the same as the summary of the General Staff.

If it weren't for the General Staff's summary that just came out today, Jiang Baili even doubted that Zhang Lingfu had read this report in advance?

He drew a circle on the map with the instruction stick. Zhang Lingfu continued: "But if it is changed to a decisive battle on the outside, the situation will immediately become completely different. First of all, my army of hundreds of thousands or millions is distributed in an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers. The Japanese army will not easily get the opportunity to gather an annihilation, and the situation will not collapse overnight!"

All the students nodded subconsciously. The Battle of Songhu and Nanjing were due to the concentration of troops, which resulted in a collapse of the entire line after being broken through by the Japanese army!

From this point of view, Zhang Lingfu's deployment is undoubtedly very reliable!

Zhang Lingfu said: "Secondly, our army has set up defenses everywhere, so the Japanese army dare not go deep alone. If we go deeper regardless of everything, we will definitely fall into the siege of our army and will be annihilated in turn! Third, our army blocks it layer by layer, and the Japanese army cannot go deeper quickly! Our army can calmly mobilize troops according to the movements of the Japanese army and make more targeted defense deployments!"

After a pause, Zhang Lingfu emphasized his tone again: "If we fight according to this deployment, when the Japanese army advances outside Xuzhou City, it will definitely be the end of its strength, and its momentum may not be able to penetrate Lu's shady!"

"Excellent! It's really exciting!" After Zhang Lingfu said that, Jiang Baili subconsciously applauded.

Except for Zhong Yi and Sun Liren, almost all the students couldn't help but applaud.

Zhu Liangcheng plucked his hands twice, and when he saw that Zhong Yi did not applaud, he quickly put down his hand.

The applause lasted for more than ten seconds, and it was not until Jiang Baili reached out to press it quietly that it gradually calmed down.

Jiang Baili asked Zhang Lingfu to return to his seat and said, "Justice Zhang Lingfu's tactical analysis just now is very exciting. Here, I can also tell you that Zhang Lingfu's defense deployment is almost the same as the defense strategy determined by the commander-in-chief. The final strategy chosen by the commander-in-chief is also a decisive battle from the outside!"

Hearing this, applause broke out in the classroom again.

Zhang Lingfu's expression was calm, but he just glanced slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Amid the applause, Sun Liren came over and asked Zhong Yi in a low voice: "Brother Ziren, do you agree with Zhang Lingfu?"

Zhong Yi sneered: "According to Zhang Lingfu's deployment, although the battle can be avoided by Songhu and Nanjing-style big defeats, small defeats are inevitable. As for winning, it is impossible to win!"

Sun Liren nodded slightly and said, "I think so too."

Jiang Baili noticed the whispering between Zhong Yi and Sun Liren, and immediately pressed his hands to signal the students to be quiet.

When the applause stopped, Jiang Baili directly asked Zhong Yi: "Student Zhong Yi, do you have different opinions?"

"Yes, teacher." Zhong Yi stood up and replied, "According to Zhang Lingfu's defensive deployment, big defeat can be avoided, but small defeat cannot be avoided. As for winning, it is absolutely impossible to win!"

Hearing Zhong Yi's words, the whole classroom suddenly became silent.

God, the Education Chief just said that Zhang Lingfu's defense deployment is exactly the same as the decision of the commander-in-chief, but now Zhong Yi actually said that Zhang Lingfu's defense deployment can only avoid major defeat at most! Isn't this the face of those high-level officials in the commander-in-chief?

Oh no, Zhong Yi said this, not only to hit the face of the senior officer of the commander, but also to fight the face of the combat team leader Liu Sheng, deputy chief of staff Bai Chongbei, and Li Guangxi, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone!

Because these officials must have also participated in the tactic formulation!

Zhang Lingfu immediately stood up and said, "My surname is Zhong, you are really a toad yawning, you are such a big toad!"

Jiang Baili signaled Zhang Lingfu to sit down, then turned to ask Zhong Yi and said, "Student Zhong Yi, please tell me what you think."

Zhong Yi glanced at Zhang Lingfu and said, "Since Zhang Lingfu is not convinced, then I will first talk about why his defense deployment is not possible!"

"You said." Jiang Baili stretched out his hand and said.

Zhong Yi said: "Part 1 Zhang Lingfu's analysis on the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing is correct. The reason why our army was defeated in these two battles was because it implemented a one-sided strategy of decisive battle in the inside line, gathering more than 100,000 or even 700,000 troops in an area less than 20 kilometers, which gave the Japanese army the opportunity to concentrate their troops and exert their superior artillery fire!"

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "However, the failure of the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Songhu was attributed to the mistakes of the inside decisive battle. Then he thought that the strategy of decisive battle on the outside should be adopted in the Battle of Xuzhou was because of the choke, and he went from one extreme to another!"

Jiang Baili nodded happily, and Zhong Yi's view coincided with him.

In fact, Jiang Baili did not agree with the strategy of decisive battle on the outside line formulated by the command center. He even found his opinion at the aide meeting held by the command center. Unfortunately, his opinion was eventually rejected!

Zhang Lingfu obviously disagreed and stood up and retorted: "Why is this just because of choking?"

Zhong Yi said: "Because the external decisive battle strategy you advocate also has fatal flaws!"
