Will definitely participate in the Battle of Daegu.

After explaining all the combat plans to the army lieutenant generals, Liu Gengyun put down his baton, walked back to the conference table, and said: "The battle of Daegu is of great importance, and our army must not make any mistakes. In addition, there are also

One thing, the Ministry of Military Intelligence has confirmed the latest news. The Japanese army may have used chemical weapons in the southeast theater, and the Air Force sank a supply ship in the Korean Strait.

Japanese chemical weapons were also found in the ship. The Central Military Commission has issued a warning to the Japanese army through some channels. If the Japanese army uses chemical weapons, we will inevitably use chemical weapons to retaliate. At present, some poison gas bombs have been transported to Jeju Island and may be used at any time.

We can launch a retaliatory war, but we still have to take all precautions as much as possible to prevent the Japanese army from jumping over the wall and using poison gas bombs."

Hearing these words, everyone was not very surprised. There had been rumors that the Japanese army might use chemical weapons. When Seoul was captured, some mustard gas bombs were found in the Japanese ammunition depot.

Chemical warfare is not terrible. As long as the degree of prevention and alertness are high, the troops are unlikely to suffer serious trauma. The Imperial Army has long-term research and investment in this area and is not afraid of fighting chemical warfare with any country. Moreover, the Empire can

Air strikes on the Japanese mainland are a great advantage, but also a pressure that is difficult for Japan to withstand.

Because it is related to the success or failure of the entire campaign, this combat meeting lasted for a long time. Cai E, Liu Gengyun and the commanders of the following group armies discussed it for nearly two hours. The situation on the front line was ever-changing. Wei Lihuang and others

It is impossible to stay in Seoul for a long time. We will take the opportunity to return to the garrison tomorrow and have another meeting to discuss it in the evening.

It wasn't until around midnight that the commanders and chiefs of staff of each group army went back to rest. Before Fu Zuoyi was about to leave, senior army general Cai E suddenly asked him to stay alone.

After all the other generals, including Liu Gengyun, left, Cai E and Fu Zuoyi were left in the conference room. Cai E personally stood up and made a cup of hot tea for Fu Zuoyi, and invited Fu Zuoyi to sit down with him and talk about something.

.

Fu Zuoyi took the teacup in a hurry and said, "How dare you trouble the commander-in-chief."

Cai E said: "You are the first among the disciples of the Emperor, and you are also the first among the first to be promoted to the rank of colonel and general. Now you may also be the first to be promoted to the rank of general. From this we can see that the emperor and

Chief of General Staff Chiang Kai-shek of the Military Department loves you so much."

Fu Zuoyi was very proud of this in his life, but in front of Cai E, a senior general of the older generation, he did not dare to be arrogant. He immediately replied humbly: "I owe you the emperor's love and I can't repay you."

, I can only die to serve on the battlefield."

Cai E nodded slightly, feeling that it made sense, and then said: "Since you have such a consciousness and know that the emperor treats you very kindly, you must seize the opportunity this time. Among all the generals, I think you are the only one who is the best."

Having the highest arrogance is both a good thing and a bad thing

To be honest, the First Army you led is not the elite ace of the Imperial Army. Compared with the Japanese army, I think it has no advantages except for being well-equipped. Therefore, to lead such an army to fight the most difficult battle, you must be the most important.

Be cautious."

Fu Zuoyi felt slightly uncomfortable and continued to reply: "What the commander-in-chief said is true."

Cai E looked solemn.

He had not visited the First Army to inspect, but Liu Gengyun had been there, and he complained quite a bit when he came back. Liu Gengyun felt that the First Army was a bit slack. It was true that Fu Zuoyi was rigorous in running the army, but Liu Gengyun had never seen it from above.

What I felt at the bottom was another kind of indescribable impatience.

Such a discovery made Liu Gengyun feel very bad.

So throughout the whole day, Cai E carefully observed Fu Zuoyi and Liu Yazhao, and his basic judgment was that Fu Zuoyi himself underestimated the enemy.

At this point, there can be no major changes in equipment and soldiers, and the commander is also fixed. The only difference is in the mentality of the commander and soldiers, whether they can withstand difficulties and whether they dare to fight.

The spirit of daring to fight is very important.

Senior generals such as Cai E, Chen Wu, and Zhang Yahu were very concerned about the mental state of the troops. Maybe Fu Zuoyi himself thought that his troops had no problems and were eager to fight and make achievements, but in Cai E's view, he underestimated the enemy and was impetuous.

For senior generals like Fu Zuoyi, Cai E couldn't say something too harsh. He could only tell Fu Zuoyi again: "You must be careful and don't make mistakes. It doesn't matter if you lose your reputation and military prestige. The Emperor's You can't afford to lose your feelings. When using troops, you need to be brave and cautious, so don't look down on the Japanese army. In certain areas and under certain circumstances, they are still very powerful."

Fu Zuoyi still nodded silently, but he felt that Cai E and Liu Gengyun were a little too worried. Maybe they were both old, eager to retire, couldn't afford to lose, and their mentality was too conservative.

Cai E saw that he seemed to have accepted his suggestion, so he stopped there and asked Fu Zuoyi to go back and rest early, and take an opportunity to return to the First Army's Qingzhou garrison tomorrow morning.

Fu Zuoyi has always been recognized as a very strict lieutenant general in the National Defense Force. He is extremely strict in military training, upright in running the army, and is also known for his decency and stern conduct. He has done in-depth research on field warfare, especially defensive warfare, and has won the respect of senior officials such as Jiang Fangzhen and Chen Qicai. Others praised it, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty also favored it.

People always change.

As his reputation, qualifications and connections grew, Fu Zuoyi himself felt quite like the first general under senior generals. He thought so, and the people below him generally felt this way, especially After the two previous great victories, Fu Zuoyi became even more proud.
