Wuhan camp, commander-in-chief.

Senior generals such as He Yingpei, Chen Shi, and Liu Sheng all gathered in front of a huge sand table, while Bai Chongbei was holding a wooden pole in his hand and explaining directly to the sand table.

Bai Chong said sadly: "Everyone, don't you think this situation looks familiar?"

"It looks familiar." Liu Sheng nodded and said, "It is very similar to the fifth encirclement and suppression of the Red Army when he was in Jiangxi in 22nd of the Republic of China, but the role played by our army has changed."

Bai Chongbei said again: "Brother Zhang, have you noticed that the defensive strategy our army is almost the same as the Red Army in Jiangxi back then?"

"It's indeed the same." Liu Sheng said, "Everyone is defending and resisting!"

Speaking of this, Liu Sheng said again: "But our army is much stronger than the Red Army!"

"Our army is stronger than the Red Army in the past!" Bai Chong nodded sadly and said, "But correspondingly, the Japanese army advancing north and south are also more fierce than our army in the past! Brother Zhang cannot deny this, right?"

Liu Sheng was silent. Of course, the Japanese army is much more fierce than the national army back then!

Bai Chong said sadly: "So my opinion is still that the decisive battle on the outside will inevitably lead to defeat!"

Liu Sheng said: "The decisive battle on the outside may be defeated, or may not, at least it has not been proved by actual combat, but the decisive battle on the inside has been proven by actual combat, which is absolutely not possible!"

"Why do we have to go from one extreme to another?" Bai Chong said sadly, "Why can't we organically combine the two?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had a slight expression.

He Yingpei said: "Brother Jiansheng, how should the two be organically combined?"

Bai Chong said sadly: "Before we talk about this, we must first determine the main target of attack!"

Liu Sheng said: "Compared with the Yangtze River Channel, the Pinghan Railway and the Longhai Railway can also directly reach the inland China, and the transportation is more convenient, so the Japanese army on the Northern Line has a greater threat, so the primary target should be the Northern Line!"

"Okay, then set the Japanese army on the North Line as the primary target!" Bai Chong nodded grief and continued, "Then now, we are looking for a suitable location as the defense support for the North Line, and then choosing a defensive force to defend this place. This force will adopt the strategy of decisive battle in the inside line!"

He Yingpei said: "If you want to be good at defense, it is Sun Fanglu's second army!"

"Where is the location?" Liu Sheng frowned and said, "The problem now is that the Japanese army on the northern front is also divided into two routes, east and west, instead of concentrating and pushing southward, so this location is not easy to choose!"

"This is simple!" Bai Chong said indifferently, "As long as you block one way, the other way will definitely come to help!"

The senior generals in the hall nodded one after another, and then their eyes began to search on the huge sand table.

After a moment, almost everyone's eyes focused on one place, which was Taierzhuang!

"Taierzhuang!" Chen Shi said first, "First of all, Taierzhuang is blocking the necessary route for the Japanese army on the east road. If the Japanese army on the east road wants to march into Xuzhou, they must pass by Taierzhuang! Secondly, Taierzhuang has a branch railway connected to the Jinpu Railway, so the Japanese army on the west road can quickly rush to rescue along the railway line! Last and most importantly, Taierzhuang is the last barrier of Xuzhou. If Taierzhuang is lost, Xuzhou will be directly exposed to the Japanese army's military front, and the overall situation will be shaken!"

With the words of a group of senior generals, the idea of ​​the Taierzhuang battle gradually took shape.

In another historical time and space, the direction of the Xuzhou Battle was to gradually advance according to this concept, and ultimately helped the national army to achieve the greatest victory after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War!

But in this historical time and space, there are more variables!

This variable is Zhong Yi, the time traveler!

As soon as Chen Shi finished speaking, a voice came in: "It's too conservative!"

When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw Jiang Baili walking in quickly from outside the door.

Almost all the senior generals here have been studying at the Army University, and they are all students of General Jiang Baili. They are now coming forward to salute and call them teachers.

Jiang Baili waved his hand and said, "You have chosen Taierzhuang as the defensive support, but it is too conservative. Why can't you directly use Xuzhou as the defensive support and then swallow the Japanese troops on the north and south sides in one go?"

"ah?"

"What?"

"Swallow the Japanese troops on the north and south sides in one bite?"

"This, why are we afraid we don't have this tooth?"

A whisper suddenly sounded in the hall.

After a while, Liu Sheng said: "Teacher, students can fully understand your mood. In fact, students also hope to swallow the Japanese troops on the north and south sides in one bite? But the cruel reality is that we don't have this ability!"

"No, we have the ability!" Jiang Baili waved his hand and said, "Just this afternoon, in the tactical class of our Luojiashan Senior Officer Training Corps, Zhong Yi conducted a very exciting tactical analysis on the battle situation in Xuzhou. He proposed that the elite of 30,000 to 50,000 people, with the coordination of the main outside forces, will be fully capable of defending Xuzhou for three to five months!"

"Three to fifty thousand people?"

"Hold Xuzhou for three to five months?"

Hearing this, the senior generals in the hall looked at each other in a flash.

Because Zhong Yi's judgment was completely beyond their imagination.

In a word, the mentality of these senior generals in the hall has been broken by the Japanese army, and their impression of the Japanese army has been fixed in the understanding of the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Shanghai.

During the Battle of Shanghai, five Japanese divisions destroyed more than 100 elite divisions of the National Army!

In the Battle of Nanjing, four Japanese divisions defeated 150,000 national troops in just ten days!

So now, when Zhong Yi threatened by Jiang Baili that three to fifty thousand national troops could defend Xuzhou for three to five months under the siege of the Japanese troops on the north and south sides, their first reaction was that Zhong Yi was crazy!

After a while, Liu Sheng finally came to his senses and coughed lightly and said, "Teacher, although Zhong Yi is very good at fighting, he is just a colonel leader after all, and he does not have a global vision, so he said such ridiculous words. Of course, young people care about the current situation, and we still need encouragement."

What I mean is that we can just listen to Zhong Yi’s words.

Jiang Baili actually knew that this would be the result, but she still wanted to fight for it.

With a sigh, Jiang Baili said: "I think you should carefully consider the suggestions of Zhong Yi."
