Lao Jiang reached out to take it and quickly browsed it. Gradually, his originally relaxed face changed. He finally breathed a long sigh and threw a meaningful look at Li Delin.

Li Delin smiled and said that he had fought with Jiang for so many years, but he still didn't understand him?

He Jingzhi took it first, and after reading the content, he showed a look of surprise and said, "I opened my mouth without any comments." But what is certain is that he is extremely uneasy at this moment.

Chen Cixiu, Bai Jiansheng, Zhang Wenbai... Liu Weizhang...

It took at least ten minutes to pass on this passage.

The final manuscript returned to Li Delin's hands.

He folded it back solemnly and gave it to the confidential secretary and put it in his briefcase.

In the conference room, there was a silence.

"Why, I don't say anything anymore, are you talking about it? Do you have any opinions?" Old Jiang spoke first, and it was suddenly a mess. He, the leader, could not say a word.

"Brother Delin, does this thing represent the view of the Fifth War Zone?"

"No, I personally agree with his judgment." Li Delin shook his head slowly.

"I think this inference is not valid at all, and it even includes some imaginary elements." Deputy Military Order Xiong Bin stood up and said loudly.

"I hope to hear the details."

"President, colleagues, first of all, based on the Japanese army's affiliation, we can infer that the next strategic goal of the Japanese army is Wuhan. Is this too much fun? Perhaps, this is simply a smokescreen fire that the Japanese army deliberately released. It was just a few days ago when the Japanese side proposed to negotiate peacefully with us, but in fact it was a fictitious shot to relax our vigilance. In the blink of an eye, they launched an attack on western Shandong and eastern Henan. If it weren't for this heavy rain and the timely digging of the dikes behind, they might have hit the city of Zhengzhou at this moment. Second, from the current Japanese army's troops,

You can see that in Xuzhou, northern Anhui and southern Hebei, the Japanese army had been entangled in the main forces of more than eight divisions and formed a semi-encirclement of our First War Zone and the Fifth War Zone. The purpose was to eat our elite troops in this area. Everyone knows that the First War Zone had two elite troops, the New First Army in northern Henan and the Eighth Army in eastern Henan. These two troops can be said to be the most annihilated Japanese troops and are also the most capable troops. If these two troops can be eaten, the blow to our confidence in the War of Resistance Against Japan will be huge..." Xiong Bin came forward and said his reasons.

"Captain Xiong, who is important if you stand from the perspective of the Japanese base camp, occupy Wuhan and eliminate the two elite troops of the New First Army and the Eighth Army?" Li Delin asked back.

"This is naturally more important to capture Wuhan."

"Wuhan is now the command center of the Anti-Japanese War and the center of the revolution. The second capital, once it falls, which one will have a greater blow to the people's hearts and morale?"

"Naturally, Wuhan is even bigger."

"Since we all think that Wuhan has lost more, why did the Japanese army have to attack northern Henan and specifically pick hard-to-chew bones?"

"What Chief Li means is that the Wuhan defense plan we have arranged cannot stop the Japanese attack?" Chen Cixiu asked with some displeasure.

"At least, now we have no chance to win."

"Your plan is too conservative, why can't you take the initiative to attack?" At this time, the Soviet military adviser, his bad coward, stood up and waved his fists indignantly and asked, "I don't understand that war is not passively beaten, yes, you are at a disadvantage, but the Japanese army is not completely at an advantage. If you set up defenses at all levels, it will only cost the opponent more effort. You should disrupt the opponent's attack steps with the spirit of active attack, so that you can win the initiative, my gentlemen!"

"General Cherepanov, what we are now discussing is the next direction of the Japanese army's main attack, rather than our strategy to respond to the enemy?"

"There is no doubt that what did Japan and China send troops to do? Are they just wanting you to surrender and then promise to be their puppets?" Cherepanov said fiercely, "They want to occupy your country and turn you all into Japan and myself. They want you to be slaves of the country, understand?"

"General Cherepanov means that the next main attack direction of the Japanese army is Wuhan?" Bai Jiansheng asked seriously.

“This is undoubtedly!”

"But the current allocation of troops in the Japanese army does not seem to show signs of this, and their naval fleet is only staying in Qingcheng, and Shanghai only..." He Jingzhi's face was very unnatural. He did not think that the Japanese army would attack Wuhan at the moment, at least the Japanese army had not mobilized enough troops.

"General Cherepanov, I heard that your country had some small friction with the Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast?"

"Yes, but that's not the point." Cherepanov snorted, the secrets of the country were related to the country, and as a military adviser to China, he could not say much.

The Soviet Union had no plans to go to war with Japan and Ben, at least there was no such plan now.

Japan and China deliberately created trouble, which was also testing the Soviet Union's attitude, but now it seems that Japan and China obviously showed signs of uncontrollability.

"It was only a matter of time before the Japanese attacked Wuhan, but as of now, there was no sign of this. Moreover, the weather is hot, the heat is hot, and the rainy season is also rainy, which is not conducive to marching and fighting. We can use this time to improve our in-depth defense configuration. Whether it is layer by layer or luring the enemy into depth, as long as we have sufficient in-depth configuration, we can completely block the Japanese army." said Xu Yongchang, Minister of Military Order.

"If the First War Zone can hold up more than 100,000 elite Japanese troops in northern Henan and western Shandong, it will be extremely beneficial to defend Wuhan and fight for the time to evacuate."

"Well, although the first war zone is not very strong, it is possible to hold down more than 100,000 elite troops like the New First Army and the Eighth Army."

"Leng Guoguang still has a way of fighting..."

"According to my estimate, if the Japanese army attacked Wuhan, the first choice should be in early September, which was about to fall, and the Yangtze River waterway would have at least one month's flood season, which would facilitate the Japanese ships' operations. If you miss this opportunity, the Japanese ships will not be able to enter the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the advantages will become disadvantages. At that time, the situation will be beneficial to me..."

"From now on the start of the industry, schools and commercial institutions in Wuhan, we must start moving westward. Regardless of whether the Japanese army will attack Wuhan, we cannot hesitate at all." Li Delin solemnly reminded.

"Sir Li was too worried. Before Japan could call me, we started moving. What did the people think?"

"Although we have won several local battles, our overall strength is weaker than that of the Japanese army. I agree with Chief Li's suggestion to move westward immediately." Vice Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Military Affairs expressed his opinions clearly.

"el, is this your personal opinion, or your Mr. Mao's opinion?"

"Chairman, this is a consensus reached within our party."

"Does Mr. Zhou think we can't defend Wuhan?" asked Xiong Bin, deputy military commander, in an attack.

"Second Minister Xiong, these are two different things. We defend Wuhan, but once the fight starts, our industry and schools are the future of the country. If it is destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire, don't you feel a pity?" Vice Minister Zhou asked back.

Xiong Bin's face looked embarrassed, and he couldn't even refute it.

"I think Mr. Zhou's proposal is good. We should now start moving important industrial and mining enterprises, schools and scientific research institutions westward. Even if Wuhan becomes the second Nanjing, with these, we can make a comeback." Zhang Wenbai said strongly.

"That's right, especially the factories we have withdrawn from Nanjing, Shanghai and other places, and a large number of machines and materials squeezed Wuhan. At this time, we must rush to Chongqing and other places to resume production. As long as the factories are restored, we can have a steady stream of materials to fight against the Japanese invaders."

"Delin, do you have anything else to say?" Old Jiang asked. Li Delin won a big victory in Xuzhou and had a high prestige. Although he had not threatened his status, he had to be prepared.

This guy, Lao Li, has always been inconsistent with him.

"Mr. Jiang, everyone, what I want to say is that we need to be more careful about Japan. Have we suffered less losses before? Not to mention it, just now, the Japanese army became a strong wind of peace, saying that they were going to negotiate with us, but launched an attack on eastern Henan and western Shandong. I don't know if you are blowing air conditioners and drinking tea here, have you ever thought about the scene of those ordinary people who are soaked in the flood and snatching the sky and the earth?" Li Delin said with a hint of resentment.

Some people have a wandering vision. At this time, they don’t open the pot and pick up the pot. Isn’t this poking Lao Jiang’s heart and lung tube?

He gave the order to dig the dike. Isn’t this asking him to take on this responsibility?

"Dong De, what exactly do you want to say?"

"I have to say that we must not be careless by the illusion made by the Japanese army. Although the Japanese army currently shows no sign of attacking Wuhan, with the powerful mechanization ability of the Japanese army, they can gather 200,000 elite troops within three days, which is incomparable to us."

"Three days, does the Japanese army have such strong mobility?"

"According to reliable information, they have repaired the railway from Xuzhou to Pukou, and now they have captured Yanzhou. Once the Jinpu line is repaired, their logistics support capabilities will be strengthened." The words of Xu Peigen, director of Intelligence, seemed to prove Li Delin's inference.

While speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Lao Jiang's confidential secretary Mao Qingxiang hurried in.

Everyone looked at Chiang Kai-shek. Something must have happened, otherwise Mao Qingxiang would not have disturbed such an important military conference at this time.

"Commission, the Japanese army in Hefei suddenly launched an attack, Shucheng was lost, Xu Yuanquan's army retreated westward, and Yang Sen's army was defeated."

Lao Jiang's face changed slightly. The news came too suddenly. Shucheng was lost, and Anqing, the capital of Anhui, would be in danger.

This is a dangerous signal. At least Chiang was not convinced that the Japanese army would not attack Wuhan immediately.

"Which Japanese army unit was attacking Shucheng?"

"The commander of the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army should be Major General Tokutaro Sakai." Mao Qingxiang said.
