"Eat the 22nd and 27th Divisions of the Japanese Army in half a month or even ten days?" Zhong Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Commander-in-Chief, you really... dare to think and say!"

Actually, what Zhong Yi wants to say is that you are really naive.

But when it comes to his words, Zhong Yi has changed to dare to think and say.

No matter what, Bai Chongbei is the commander-in-chief of the war zone, so we can't go too far!

"Dare you dare to think and say?" Bai Chong frowned grief, "Zi Ren, do you think you can't do it?"

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "The Commander-in-Chief is not that he can't do it, but that he can't do it at all!"

"Why?" Bai Chong frowned and said with grief. "In the Battle of Xiaogan-Yunwu Mountain, our ten armies wiped out four Japanese divisions in less than two days. In the Battle of Dabie Mountain, we have nearly thirty armies, and we still can't eat the two Japanese divisions in half a month?"

"This is different!" Zhong Yi said, "The battle of Xiaogan-Yunwu Mountain annihilated four divisions, which were the remnants of troops removed from Hankou and Hanyang. They were not only exhausted, but also lost all their heavy weapons! And the two divisions in Dabie Mountains are not only full divisions, but also possess heavy equipment in the established system!"

Bai Chong said griefly: "But these two divisions are only three-unit security divisions. They can only be considered Class C divisions in the Japanese combat sequence. The combat effectiveness is not just a little bit worse than the A divisions like the 10th and 16th Divisions!"

"Even if these two divisions are three-unit security divisions, our army will never be able to eat them within half a month!" Zhong Yi said, and walked to the sand table, pointing at the sand table and said, "Commander-in-Chief, please see, the Japanese army has set up a long snake formation along Guifeng Mountain, Bodao Peak, Tiantang Village to the white horse tip. This is a typical step-by-step camp and resistance step by step, which is not enough to explain the problem? The Japanese are going to lure us into a fool with these two divisions!"

Bai Chongmei became impatient again and said angrily: "Then just say, how long will it take?"

Zhong Yi reached out and tapped the sand table gently, saying: "If external factors are not taken into account, it will take at least two months before the 22nd and 27th Divisions that have entered the Dabie Mountains may be trapped to death!"

"Two months?" Bai Chong's sad face turned dark.

...

Early in the morning, Okamura Yanji came to Toshiro's office.

As soon as he entered the door, Okamura Yasuji stood attentively and said, "Your Excellency, are you looking for me?"

Shinjiu Chong nodded slightly by the Hebian Zhengsan, who was next to Shunjiu Chong nodded slightly, and Hebian Zhengsan handed over the telegram in his hand.

After Okamura Yanji's face immediately became gloomy, because only one thing was said on the telegram: Zhong Yi actually grieved Bai Chong, and even raised objections to the commander-in-chief!

"Okamura, this is not good news." Jun Liudao, "Zhong Yi's military performance since Jinshanwei has been outstanding. Bai Chongbei and Chang will definitely listen to his opinions carefully as long as they are not idiots, so the fishing plan you envision is likely to fail!"

Okamura Yasuji said in a dark voice: "Your Excellency, you may be able to remedy it!"

"Remedy?" Jun Liu said with a look of expression and asked, "How do you think you can remedy it?"

Okamura Yanji said in a dark voice: "Your Excellency General said just now that Zhong Yi's performance at the military level is outstanding, so it is basically ineffective to counterattack him from the military level!"

Kawabian Masazo looked slightly moved and said, "What does Okamura-kun mean to fight back from a political level?"

"Yes, fight back from the political level!" Okamura Yasuji said in a deep voice, "You can instruct domestic newspapers to publish more articles about the empire's financial difficulties. It is best to make the speech of Prime Minister Kobaya at the imperial meeting public, thus creating the illusion that the empire's national strength is almost exhausted and he is no longer able to launch a larger-scale attack!"

"Huh?" Jun Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "This is a good idea."

Okamura Yasuji continued: "Didn't the US government decide to ban the scrap steel trade agreement with the empire? This matter can also be made into the 11th Army and the 2nd Army. Because there were not enough guns, the military academy teachings were used to make up the number of guns and exaggerated them!"

"Yo Xi!" Jun Liudao, "In this way, the Chinese top leaders will definitely think that the empire is no longer able to launch a larger-scale attack, so Bai Chongbei dares to enter the Dabie Mountains with confidence!"

"Hayi!" Okamura Yasuji paused and said, "The 12th Army's organization must be kept confidential. It is best to mobilize soldiers in the name of exercise. When transferred to the battlefield in China, they should be carried out in the name of replacement of defense. After arriving in China, they will be in fully enclosed iron carriages, and no flaws can be revealed on the way!"

"Yo Xi!" Jun Liu nodded and said, "That's it!"

"God General, I will call the base camp now, maybe I can catch up with today's evening newspaper!" After Kawabian Masato said that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Watching Masazo Kawabian leave, Toshiro said again: "Okamura, let's talk about a game?"

Okamura Yasuji said happily: "Since you have this kind of pleasure, you should accompany me."

"Yo Xi!" Jun Liu nodded happily and immediately ordered the guard to play chess.

...

Half a day passed quickly.

In the evening, Principal Chang came to the combat hall of the command headquarters again.

This time, President Chang came here specially to attend the aide meeting!

The topic of the meeting was whether the Dabie Mountains Battle Plan was cancelled? All senior leaders from the Command Department were eligible to attend the meeting and could express their opinions at the meeting.

At the meeting, the two factions had a fierce confrontation and could not stand up.

The opinions of the faction firmly support Zhong Yi's judgment, believing that this is the Japanese army fishing and that they must not take risks with the 600,000 elite main force in the Dabie Mountains War Zone!

But another opinion believes that Zhong Yi is simply exaggerating!

Several staff members who held this opinion even believed that Zhong Yi was just unwilling to see others be able to win a battle, so he deliberately raised an objection, which was a pity!

Listening to the fierce quarrel between the two factions, Principal Chang was also hesitant.

On the one hand, Principal Chang felt that the morale of the army was available, and now he really took advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the 22nd and 27th Divisions of the Japanese army that fled into the Dabie Mountains.

But on the other hand, President Chang trusted Zhong Yi's military capabilities very much. He felt that there must be a reason why Zhong Yi was so clear-cut to the launch of the Dabie Mountains Battle.

At this moment, Dai Li hurried in.

"Principal!" Dai Li walked to Principal Chang and whispered, "Tokyo's eyeliner report, Japanese Prime Minister Komaki Komaki had a big fight with Army Minister Sugiyama at yesterday's imperial meeting! The reason is that Japan's finances are already very tight. In Komaki's words, if the scale of the war against China continues to be expanded, Japan will go bankrupt!"

"Oh, is that?" President Chang was immediately excited when he heard this, "Yunnong, the news is reliable?"
