Chapter 422 Defense Summary
At this time, Yu Da suddenly said, "Everyone, have you ignored something?"
Everyone's eyes, including Zhong Yi, gathered on Yuda's face in unison.
Yu Da then said: "Youdao is the best defense. We cannot just think about defense. We have to attack. We have to attack and take the initiative to attack!"
Li Lianggang retorted: "If you take the initiative to attack, you must abandon strong fortifications. The precious troops are easily killed by the Japanese army's dense firepower! This is not a good choice!"
Yu Da said: "Who said that only by putting troops into the attack can we attack?"
Li Lianggang said: "You mean to use long-range artillery to attack?"
"That's right, it's long-range artillery!" Yu Da clapped his hands and said, "We can also build long-range artillery fortifications in Guishan opposite the Han River and Snake Mountain opposite the Yangtze River. When the Japanese launch an attack on Hankou Railway Station, they can use the long-range artillery fire from these two positions to provide accurate and fatal strikes!"
At this moment, everyone's thoughts were immediately alive.
Ding Yan said: "We can also lay mines. After the Japanese stop attacking at night, they will be covered with mines between the three main bunkers and sub-forts. So when the next day, the Japanese will take a lot of time to clear the mines!"
Luo Zhaozong said excitedly: "Also, we can build a large number of castles between the main castle and the sub-fort. Whenever the main castle or a sub-fort faces the threat of loss, we can use one or several castles and accidentally give the Japanese a heavy blow!"
"And, there's more." Qiu Zongding said anxiously, "I think we can set a trap for the Japanese."
When Zhong Yi and everyone's eyes gathered, Qiu Zongding continued: "We can build a fan-shaped trench around the railway station on the periphery of the bunker area. When the Japanese attack, they can be used as the first fortification, but there is no need to defend themselves. When the Japanese occupy the trench and advance forward, we secretly transported our troops behind the Japanese through the reserved tunnels and seized the trench again. In this way, the Japanese who crossed the trench would be made into dumplings by us!"
The more the staff spoke, they became more and more excited, and all kinds of ideas were revealed, and they were full of wonderful ideas.
Zhong Yi didn't say anything, just recorded it quickly, and at the same time he sighed in his heart that it was no luck that these staff members could be screened out from various departments and transferred to the Second Team of the Attendant to serve as staff members.
Finally, the seven advisers made more than 2,000 suggestions.
Some of these suggestions are useless, and some are very useful, and Zhong Yi recorded them one by one.
Then, Zhong Yi and Yu Da and others discussed it one by one in combination with Wuhan geography.
...
Three days passed quickly.
At six o'clock in the morning, Principal Chang got up on time and walked around Luojia Mountain for forty minutes. When his body was sweating slightly, he returned to Tingsonglu to wash and have a meal.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Wei arrived hurriedly.
When he saw Lin Wei, Principal Chang immediately asked: "Weiran, has the defense plan of the Second Team of the Service Team come out?"
Without saying a word, Lin Wei took out the bound booklet of Jianghan defense summary from his briefcase and handed it to Principal Chang.
Principal Chang waved his hand and signaled Lin Wei to wait.
Then Principal Chang ate porridge for a few bites, then took the towel from Wang Shihe and wiped his hands. Then he stood up and took the thick booklet from Lin Wei, and walked towards the study while flipping through it.
Principal Chang opened the first page and was a directory of Jianghan’s defense summary. After looking at the total number of pages, there were more than one hundred pages, and he couldn’t help but be surprised.
In President Chang's impression, the combat plan formulated by the General Staff of the National Army generally only has more than a dozen pages. The most detailed one is the outline of the construction of national defense fortifications hosted by Zhang Zhizhong in the 21st year of the Republic of China. It seems to be only forty or fifty pages. However, the Jianghan defense summary that Zhong Yi made was more than one hundred pages!
There are just a summary of more than 100 pages. If you plan in detail, how many pages will it take?
Not to mention anything else, just Zhong Yi's attitude is already amazing!
No wonder Lin Wei had the idea of leaving Zhong Yi in the attendant's room. Which subordinate doesn't like this who is serious about doing things without causing trouble for you?
It’s just a pity that Zhong Yi is not from Huangpu.
Thinking of this, Principal Chang couldn't help but sigh again.
Looking at the contents of the catalog, I saw five major items, namely the General Thesis, Hankou Defense Outline, Hanyang Defense Outline, Wuchang Defense Outline, and the overall plan for wartime personnel and materials.
In addition to the first general theory of big items, there are small items under the other three big items.
For example, under the Wuchang Defense Outline, there is also an overview of Huanghu Mountain Fortress, an overview of Cai Dongshan artillery positions, guiding opinions on the reconstruction of private houses in the city, an overview of fortifications around the city and the construction of underground fortifications.
Principal Chang glanced at him, his eyebrows jumped wildly, and said to Lin Wei: "Weiran, this is to dig tunnels and rebuild private houses in the three towns of Wuhan. Three large fortresses need to be built. Can this manpower and material resources be guaranteed?"
It is normal for President Chang to have this concern. When Zhang Zhizhong built the national defense fortifications, the plan proposed at the beginning was also very grand. However, after discussion by the Military Commissioner, the entire plan immediately shrank by more than half. There is no other reason, because the National Government has limited financial resources and cannot support a huge plan!
Now that the plan proposed by Zhong Yi was proposed, Principal Chang was also a little frightened.
Lin Wei said, "Principal, the directory is not over yet, there is a big item behind it."
"Oh?" Principal Chang said lightly, turned to the next page, and found that the target was not over. However, the directory on the second page only had one big item, and the feasibility report on the Jianghan defense summary was written!
"Hey, this Zhong Ziren, you're so flawless!" Principal Chang shook his head and said, "He actually made a feasibility report of the entire defense summary!"
There are also three sub-items below the feasibility report.
Principal Chang glanced over and found that these three items were financial support, material support and human support.
Without any hesitation, President Chang turned directly to the corresponding pages of funding guarantee, and saw that the beginning of the matter was just a sentence. The source of funds for the entire fortification consists of three parts, including financial appropriations, private fundraising and self-raised by the Wuhan Garrison Command. The ratio of funds between these three is 334.
In other words, fiscal appropriations only account for 30%.
President Chang then turned down and soon found the exact number of financial appropriations, 50 million legal currency!
Chapter completed!
