Deng Xihou made a very correct judgment. The focus of this battle was caused by the Military Commission's excessive attention to the interests of the Central Army and its unwillingness to unite most of the forces in the country to fight against Japan.

Yu Huanshui had just left, but Zhou Xiaoshan had not returned to the war room.

Qin Guoliang brought Wan Yaohuang to come here.

"Xiaoshan, Minister Chen asked you to answer the phone!"

This is a good thing.

Zhou Xiaoshan received the telegram several times and wanted to find He Guoguang, but he found him after he was ready for the full moon wine.

Who knew he came to the door on his own initiative.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoshan entered the airport guard commander's office, he saw He Guoguang waving to him with a phone number.

"Hello Minister Chen!"

"Xiaoshan, you are good too! Director He just conveyed your meaning to me. I want to ask, do you have any basis for judging that the Japanese want to swallow my Zhongtiaoshan troops in one bite?"

"At that time, Commander-in-Chief Liu was in Pingjin and Shanghai, and I have also received some intelligence in recent days. The Japanese have drawn troops from central China and Northeast China to North China, tracking the whereabouts of these troops along the way, and found that they were all concentrated in Zhongtiao Mountain, almost seven to ten divisions!"

"Does seven to ten divisions have numbers?"

"No, the number will not be wrong. The Japanese are on the way to transfer the train in Pingjin to Senyang. It is too dangerous to detect the number, and intelligence personnel cannot get close to the train station!"

"Will they go to Shaanxi?"

"It is unlikely that the front line will be too long and the army will be launched into Shaanxi. Compared to the Japanese who fought from Vietnam to Yunnan, it seems easier to fight from Yichang to Chongqing! Those two routes are at least supported by logistics supplies through water, and it depends entirely on road trains!"

"Xiaoshan, you have been to Zhongtiao Mountain, and Minister He has also been to the reinforcement of the fortifications and positions in the First War Zone he personally deployed. It is said that Zhongtiao is as solid as a soul, and the Japanese may be a trick to attack Shaanxi!"

Zhou Xiaoshan wanted to curse, but just dug some trenches, and it was so impoverished.

Zhongtiao Mountain has a long snake formation, facing the attacks between the Japanese from north to south, and there is no defense depth at all.

"Minister Chen, I have been in Zhongtiao Mountain for almost a year, and I know the defense line very well. To put it too exaggeratedly, if I command the three confrontational divisions of the Japanese, I would not have to attack more than a dozen times, and I could take it down in one fell swoop. This time, the Japanese mobilized heavy troops to wipe out our Zhongtiao Mountain defenders! They were in urgent need of strategic resources in the country and had strategic plans to go south to Malay and north to the Soviet Union. The emperor had an international perspective and was full of ambitions. It was impossible to use limited war resources to attack the southwest and northwest of the Republic of China and forcibly landing in the Civilian Government of our country. This is their strategic purpose for a long time in the future!"

Zhou Xiaoshan could feel it, and it was not just Chen Cheng who heard the other side of the phone.

The opposite side was silent.

It took a while to speak.

"Xiaoshan, if you were the chief of staff in the War Zone 1, how would you design a strategic idea to deal with the Japanese attack?"

"The current group of dragons in Zhongtiao Mountain are without leaders, with no morale, and lack of food and ammunition. If I want to be trapped on Zhongtiao Mountain, I am afraid that like many Central Army generals, I will guard for one to two days to wait for assistance, and then there will be no food and ammunition, so I will lead my troops to break through and cannot break out. That is, Zhou Xiaoshan, who was killed in battle and died in the Republic of China, and Zhou Xiaoshan, who was not captured!"

Several angrily laughter came from the other end of the phone. He Guoguang, Liao Yaoxiang, and Sun Lanfeng were also happy on this end. Chen Cheng asked again because he was not angry.

"I assume you are not in Zhongtiao Mountain, how should you formulate a battle plan in the First War Zone Command!"

"More than 200,000 troops were surrounded, and the National Revolutionary Army could not afford to lose at all!"

Zhou Xiaoshan continued to say unhappy.

"Zhongtiao Mountain is not a defensive fortress as imagined. On the contrary, it is very fragile, without a defensive depth, and Yongzhou's Yongbei defense fortifications have not been released. The Central Army of Zhongtiao Mountain must use about one-third of its troops to maintain supplies. Minister Chen can check their recent supply situation. The reserves of firearms and ammunition are very poor! Once the Japanese occupy Zhongtiao Mountain, they can face Luoyang and southern Jinnan condescendingly!"

"The Military Commission will definitely not give up on the brothers on Zhongtiao Mountain. You tell me the specific solution!"

"I dare not say it!"

"You mean the 18th Army can be rescued?"

"Whether the Jinsui Army or the troops near Luoyang, it will take time to reach the scheduled location. Moreover, not only is the Chief Guard facing tit-for-tat with Chief Yan, but the conflicts are irreconcilable, and Chief Hu and Chief Guard are equally in power!"

The other end of the phone was silent again.

After a while, Chen Cheng spoke again.

"How should we issue an order to the 18th Army? Is it okay to provoke the general?"

Historically, the Military Commission wanted to speak with Yan'an but couldn't stand it, so it simply used a provocation method.

How could you hide the clumsy strategy from the wise Yan'an leader?

So he was furious and ordered them to harass the enemy's back.

After all, because of the matter in Anhui, I am unwilling to communicate positively.

"I don't think it's appropriate. Yan'an pays great attention to actual interests and recommends to discuss it directly. This way, the content of the negotiations will easily enter the substantive operation. The frontline will not last long. I shouldn't express my opinions on these matters. The military situation is like fire. Our Sichuan Army hopes that all provinces across the country can work together to fight against Japan!"

I saw Zhou Xiaoshan unwilling to design a battle plan for cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and it seemed that someone had covered his microphone.

After a while of silence.

Let He Guoguang answer the phone.

Zhou Xiaoshan also turned around and went out.

This time he really wanted to find Qin Lie and Su Hai, and asked them to adjust any information from Tiaoshan from various channels, first report by phone, and then collect it and send it to the airport.

The battlefield information kept coming, and He Guoguang was shocked.

The Japanese organized 63 brigades (equivalent to 7 divisions) to blockade the southeastern coast of China first.

At the same time, the so-called flexible and quick battle was carried out on the front battlefield, namely, the battle of southern Henan and Shanggao was launched.

In March this year, an external battle in Zhongtiao Mountain was launched.

The 36th Division launched a battle against the 27th Army, and attacked the 27th Army of the National Revolutionary Army gathered in the Lingchuan area in southeastern Shanxi; the 37th and 41st Divisions launched a battle against the 15th Army, and attacked the 15th Army that was separated from the main force to the south of Yicheng and east of Jiangxian.

In order to create a favorable campaign for the large-scale attack on Zhongtiao Mountain.

The confrontation deployment before the war was already very unoptimistic, and it can be seen that the Japanese knew Nakajoyama well.

This time, all the troops from Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and northern Jiangsu were concentrated, plus a total of 8 divisions and 5 brigades, cavalry brigades and special forces, a total of about 200,000 people.

Nearly 200 planes docked in Xinxiang, Henan were found. According to another piece of information, at least one hundred fighter jets were concentrated at Yuncheng Airport.

Airport Staff, students from Special Class 5 will help.

Mark the sand table that had just been made by the staff of the 66th Army's remaining office on the military strength of both the enemy and us.

The battle situation is clear at a glance.

"Grandma, my god, the Japanese are definitely not going to enter Shaanxi, but want to eat more than 200,000 troops in Zhongtiao Mountain in one bite!"

Sun Lanfeng screamed in surprise.

Hu Lian kicked him gently.

"You are even better than Minister He. Minister He can judge that the Japanese must have entered Shaanxi!"
