Chapter 15 Unity
"I think the deterioration of the battlefield in North China has become the current situation. The Central Military and Political Department has to bear certain responsibilities. When the Ministry of Military and Political Department is assigned tasks, the tasks given to local troops are heavy, and the tasks given to the Central Army are lighter. Moreover, the areas where local troops defend are relatively dangerous, and the areas where the Central Army defends are important transportation routes, and they retreat faster, so there are more local troops." General Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army suffered the greatest losses on the battlefield, so at the military meeting, his words were also the sharpest.
Although General Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army has been dispersed into several forces, and those people don't listen to her much, they are always the old troops they have led. Of course, they feel uncomfortable when they see that their old troops have suffered so much loss, but no one expected that he would raise it at this meeting.
When the bosses of the warlords in other places heard Feng Yuxiang say this, they wanted to stand up and say that they had eaten this breath for a long time and felt uncomfortable. For them, your Central Army is powerful, but you don’t have to do it so obviously. We don’t say anything about normal weapons and supplies. After all, you paid for it, but on the battlefield, you are using the Japanese to kill us and consume our power.
Things like Kefan have existed in all eras, but isn’t this important time for the survival of the country? Can you still engage in such internal friction? If you continue like this, don’t say you can resist the Japanese devils. These internal problems need to be solved. If these problems cannot be solved, we may break up if the Japanese devils don’t fight.
"Everyone pays attention to the order of the venue. Now it is not a discussion of the issue of the North China Battle. Don't pursue what we did before, and it is meaningless to investigate these issues. What we need to do now is to discuss a practical way to save our country." Hearing the chaos below, if the principal did not say a word at this time, he would probably go off topic again today. Just like when he was in a meeting in the past, he would not be able to discuss any results. There was still time to waste in the past, but now there is no time to waste. A day of time is very important.
"I agree to propose to open a second battlefield in the Yangtze River Delta region. For this reason, we will use the strength of three armies to support the battle in the Yangtze River Delta." General Li Zongren was the first local tycoon to rise up and support the decision-making of the central government.
"There are not many other Sichuan troops, but there are many people. We sent 100,000 troops to support the Yangtze River Delta." General Liuxiang from Bashu also immediately made a statement.
The chairman's expression was pretty good. In his opinion, although these local warlords usually mess with him, they could still understand what they should do when facing the gains and losses of the country. How could they have the eggs to be destroyed?
"Our Jinsui Army can only send out one division's troops, mainly because we suffered too much losses in the North China Battle, and at present, our own defense zone is already very nervous." Everyone here is very clear about the situation on the Jinsui Army. As long as they can keep the local situation unchanged, it is already very good. As for whether they can support the Songhu battlefield, it doesn't matter.
"You should not remove the troops of this division. I saw the defensive situation in your place. It would be great to be able to maintain the current situation. The resources the central government can give you are very limited." The principal thought about it and refused the troops of this division.
The expressions on everyone's faces at this time can be said to be very exciting. In the past, as long as they could seize an opportunity, the principal would definitely weaken local warlords in every way and would never give them a chance to develop. What's wrong today? The Jinsui Army has sent a division of troops here. Even if it is cannon fodder, there will be nearly 10,000 people. Unexpectedly, the principal refused.
It can also be seen from here that the situation in China is now at the most dangerous time. Even the principal can abandon his past grudges and fight against foreign enemies with all his might. What else do you local warlords have to say? Mao Yuanshan opened his mouth several times and really wanted to contribute his own strength. Unfortunately, he knew the situation and was all new troops. Don’t expect them to attack. If you can defend your current territory, it would really burn up the incense.
In the end, all the warlords in the area agreed to send about 300,000 troops to support the central government in the decisive battle in the Songhu area, which was very similar to the historical trend. However, Mao Yuanshan was sure that when the Battle of Songhu was just beginning in history, he never expected that so many troops would be concentrated.
There are already about 200,000 Central Army members gathered here, and the local army of 300,000 has exceeded 500,000.
Although the Battle of Songhu finally used nearly 700,000 troops in history, the number was only achieved on the basis of increasing reinforcements. Now, so much investment was made from the beginning, which was much larger than in history. Mao Yuanshan already felt that the military war in the Yangtze River Delta region must have exceeded the direction of history. As for where he could go, it was not something he could know.
"Since we have decided, we have to raise some difficulties. The biggest difficulty now is our air force problem. If we can have an air force support on the battlefield, the losses can be reduced a lot. We have also seen the situation reported by the North China Battle. The Air Force almost killed nearly one-quarter of our army. Many soldiers died under the machine gun fire of the Air Force before they even arrived." Bai Chongxi, as the deputy chief of staff of the Military Revolutionary Committee, has begun to raise some specific questions. As long as the general direction is determined, these military strategies will be issues later.
"I can report to you good news about the Air Force. Governor Mao from Chahar has provided us with a batch of aircraft, about 100 fighter jets and 50 bombers. These aircraft will arrive at the Songhu front soon." The prince was a junior at this meeting. Although he is the future crown prince, he often doesn't speak. Now he has finally seized an opportunity and hopes to show his face in front of these big guys.
"It seems that our guy is such a capable man." With Mr. Li Zongren's praise, the atmosphere in the conference room began to become lively.
