Chapter 1699 Elastic Defense

In the end, even Principal Chang himself may find it boring.

So President Chang changed the topic: "By the way, Wen Bai, is there any latest progress in Myanmar?"

"It seems that there is no new progress," said Zhang Zhizhong. "At least there is no new content on the battle report sent by the Myanmar War Zone today. The 25th Army of the Japanese army still failed to break through the Sidang and Paben defense line."

The Myanmar War Zone is affiliated with the Chinese War Zone. According to the theater division of the Allied Command, Principal Chang, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese War Zone, is the immediate superior of the commander of Zhong Yi, the theater commander.

Therefore, Zhong Yi had to report the latest battle report to Principal Chang every day.

I heard that the 25th Japanese Army on the Myanmar battlefield still had no progress, so Principal Chang was inevitably feeling a little complicated.

This kind of mood is really hard to describe. I hope the Japanese army will break through the tin line as soon as possible? That is definitely not true, but he doesn't seem to want Zhong Yi to be too amazed.

In addition, Principal Chang was also slightly worried and even panicked.

What are you worried about? Of course, it is because you are worried about Zhong Yi being about to break away from his control.

Since he became the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar War Zone, Zhong Yi is like Long Gui Dahai, and he completely disobeys the greetings. Last time he even dared to intercept his supplies, he was simply lawless!

Principal Chang said: "This Ishihara Kan'er is said to be very powerful in the war. Why does he not perform well after arriving in Myanmar? Yang Sen only had two remaining troops, less than 10,000 people, but he actually blocked Ishihara Kan'er's four divisions with a tindang river for more than ten days."

"There are also air force bombers in the sky and heavy artillery groups on the ground."

"I can't break through the defense line for more than ten days, and Ishihara Kan'er is at this level."

Zhang Zhizhong couldn't help but say: "Principal, Ishihara Kan'er is still powerful in the war. The key is that Ziren is even more powerful, especially the elastic defense tactics he has tried since the third Zhejiang-Fujian Battle, which are becoming more and more experienced and more powerful! The Japanese army in Myanmar mainly suffered from this elastic defense loss."

"Elastic Defense?" Principal Chang frowned when he heard this.

He almost felt calloused in his ears when he heard the four words elastic defense.

For the entire national army, elastic defense is no longer a secret.

Zhong Yi was not hiding his own personal information at all and shared his experience in elastic defense with various war zones very early.

But unfortunately, even if Zhong Yi’s experience is shared, it is useless.

Because elastic defense has very high requirements for the commander-in-chief of the theater, and the troops below must also be ordered by the executive chief.

Only by doing it like an arm and finger can elastic defense exert its power.

However, except for the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone, the rest of the National Army's war zones could not do this at all.

For example, in Chief Yan's second war zone, the troops in the jurisdiction include the Jin army, the Sui army, the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army, and unified command cannot be achieved, and resolutely implementing the orders of the Chief Office is even more a joke.

Even the Nine War Zone commanded by Xue Yue cannot do this.

Although the troops in the Ninth War Zone belong to the battle sequence of the Central Army, it is logical to say that unified command is not a problem, but this can only be logically stated, but in fact it is still impossible.

Because there are factions within the Central Army.

As long as there are factions, there will be conflict.

As long as there is a struggle, Xue Yue, as the commander-in-chief, will have concerns.

Unless Xue Yue can do nothing to give Principal Chang's face like Zhong Yi, he will not be able to use his fingers as if he were armed.

Therefore, all the war zones of the National Army were learning elastic defense, but so far no war zone could learn it.

Therefore, Principal Chang will inevitably have different thoughts. Will Zhong Yi hide his own private affairs? He deliberately did not say it all?

Principal Chang said: "Wen Bai, when it comes to this elastic defense, do you think it is really as powerful as Zi Ren said?"

Zhang Zhizhong shook his head and said, "Is elastic defense really as powerful as Zi Ren said? Hu Zhi can't say it, but when Zi Ren was in the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone, and now in Myanmar, this elastic defense tactic is indeed extremely lethal. Neiji Okamura or Ishihara Kanir suffered a lot under this tactic."

Principal Chang frowned and said, "But why do I feel that Ziren has a hand?"

"Zi Ren has a hand?" Zhang Zhizhong said in surprise, "Principal, this is impossible."

Zhang Zhizhong laughed silently and said, "The core purpose of elastic defense is actually very simple. It is not to just defend. When the Japanese army's offensive strength is still able to withstand it, then defend it. When the Japanese army's offensive strength exceeds a critical point, they will never fight and retreat without hesitation. However, they must retreat in an orderly manner and must never form a retreat!"

"Anyway, during the day, you should retreat and retreat, and then wait until the night to launch a counterattack."

"By night counterattack, the Japanese army were driven out of their positions and restored the defense line that was thrown away during the day."

"Through this method, a simple defense war has turned into a tug-of-war with the Japanese army."

"Practical combat has proved that through such tactics, the casualties of our army can be effectively reduced, but it can greatly increase the casualties of the Japanese army!"

Principal Chang snorted: "It's very simple to say, but it's not that true."

"This is true." Zhang Zhizhong agreed deeply. "If you don't say anything else, it is extremely difficult to retreat in an orderly manner. As far as I know, there are only a few senior generals and a few troops in each war zone can do it."

Hearing this, Principal Chang sighed deeply, it was so annoying.

...

At this time, in Yangon.

Wang Geng walked into the war room with a telegram in his hand and reported to Zhong Yi: "The Chief Executive Officer just received the telegram from the 23rd Army. They once again repelled the attack of the 18th Division."

"Okay." Zhong Yi nodded and asked again, "What day is it today?"

"It's already the eleventh day." Wang Geng replied without hesitation, "The 25th Japanese Army just launched an attack on Paben and Dakun's front line on January 11, and today it's January 21."

"Have you been ten days?" Zhong Yi nodded and said again, "Anyway, Ishihara Kan's patience should be almost exhausted. Next, he will definitely change the direction of his main attack."

"This is also the Japanese's usual trick. If you can't break through the front, you will detour from the flank." Wang Geng nodded and continued, "If you change the direction of the main attack, where will Ishihara Kaner choose?"

"He actually doesn't have many directions to choose." Zhong Yi pointed to the map and said, "One is to detour from the sea, and then choose a breakthrough from the middle between Paben and Sidon."

"The sea route can basically be eliminated." Wang Geng said, "because the 25th Japanese Army has completely expanded on the east bank of the Sidang River, if you go on the sea route, you must first shrink your troops. Ishihara Kanir would definitely not dare."

"The key is that the sea route is not safe," Zhong Yi said, "After all, there is the Royal Navy."
