At the same time, at the Yuying Building of Wuhan University.

Jiang Baili hung up the map again and wrote the four words "Wuhan Battle" on the blackboard next to the map.

Seeing Jiang Baili write the four words of Wuhan Battle, more than 50 students in the class were immediately excited. It’s great. We have to take a tactical analysis class based on the actual situation!

After writing, Jiang Baili said in a deep voice: "Students, the commander has just made a formal decision to give up the siege of the Japanese army in Yi County and at the same time give up Xuzhou! The main forces of the Fifth War Zone will soon use the Dabie Mountains to retreat to the periphery of Wuhan. At this point, the battle of Xuzhou has officially come to an end."

"To be honest, I'm not very satisfied with the current results."

"Because we could have achieved better results, but unfortunately..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baili did not continue to talk, because it seemed like a criticism if he continued.

After pausing for a moment, Jiang Baili said again: "The past cannot be pursued. Let the past pass. Grasp the present and look forward to the future are what we should do."

"Next, the Japanese army will definitely continue to advance towards Wuhan!"

"So, the deployment of the Wuhan Battle is imminent!"

"Students, you are still in a low position and have not had the opportunity to participate in the decision-making of the highest level. However, the poet Lu You once said that he has a low position and dared not forget his worries about the country. We cannot ignore it because of his low position."

"Students, let's discuss the Wuhan Battle in today's tactical class!"

"If, I mean, if you were the directors of the Operations Department of the Command, how would you deploy the Battle of Wuhan?"

After Jiang Baili finished speaking, he looked at the student with a smile. There was a moment of silence in the classroom. Zhang Lingfu subconsciously wanted to raise his hand, but raised it halfway and then took his hand back, and then turned his eyes to Zhong Yi.

Almost at the same time, the eyes of the other fifty students also fell on Zhong Yi.

After more than a month of getting along, Zhong Yi has become the king of this issue!

Seeing that no students stood up, Jiang Baili also turned his eyes to Zhong Yi and said with a smile: "Student Zhong Yi, then let's talk about it first."

"Okay teacher." Zhong Yi stood up after hearing this and strode to the podium.

Zhong Yi took the instruction from Jiang Baili, then pointed to the map and said: "From a strategic perspective, it is best to adopt the same strategy in the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Xuzhou, that is, to combine the inside and outside, select a truly elite force, defend the three towns of Wuhan on the inside, and then place the main force on the De'an, Yueyang and Xinyang lines outside Wuhan."

"But at the specific tactical level, the Wuhan Battle must learn from the painful lessons of the failure of the Xuzhou Battle and make improvements!"

"First of all, the inside line is the desperate guard. The troops stationed in Wuhan cannot follow the example of the Second Army to leave a way out for themselves, but must have the determination to break with Wuhan! The city is there, and if the city is not there, the people are not there! The specific method is that the Japanese army will be outside the city and will never deploy one soldier outside the city or on the city walls!"

Some students immediately questioned: "Are the fortifications in the city walls not defending?"

"Not guard!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "The city walls and fortifications look solid, and it seems to be able to play a better protective role than the houses in the city. In fact, this is not the case at all!"

"Because Wuhan is the intersection of the Yangtze River and Hanyang, the Japanese warships can reach directly outside the city of Wuhan. Even if they are facing away from the Yangtze River and the Han River, the Japanese army has absolutely superior long-range artillery. Therefore, our army placed precious troops and heavy machine gun firepower on the city wall, which would be undoubtedly suicide!"

"On the contrary, if it is placed in the city, due to the barriers of the city walls, neither the Japanese naval gun nor the long-range artillery will pose a threat to the infantry and heavy machine gun firepower of our army. At that time, the only thing we need to face is the Japanese infantry, at most it will be a small number of tanks or armored vehicles!"

"So that's it!" The student suddenly realized and sat down with conscience.

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "According to Nanjing's experience, the three towns in Wuhan can dig more tunnels, but it should be noted that tunnels must not reach the outside of the city, otherwise they will become a way to leave behind! Therefore, tunnels can only be interconnected within the city, mainly used to mobilize troops secretly and avoid bombing."

At this time, Zhang Lingfu stood up and said, "Zi Ren, can I tell you the specific tactical improvements of the outside line?"

"Okay." Zhong Yi was slightly slapped and then took the initiative to give in to one side. Zhang Lingfu has a good attitude recently, so he doesn't mind reciprocating his favor. No matter what, he is a powerful general.

Zhang Lingfu walked to the podium and took the instruction stick from Zhong Yi.

"In the Battle of Xuzhou, the troops on the outside were too passive. After letting the Japanese army go, they just stayed there and watched. They neither followed and chased the Japanese army, nor did they seize the time to pull out the strongholds left by the Japanese army. When they turned to counterattack, they hurried to the scheduled place to gather, which was too passive."

"For example, after the Japanese army's main force passed, only one squadron was left!"

"But the troops of the 20th Legion did not take advantage of the situation to retake the Yixian County!"

"If the 20th Army could regain Ichi Prefecture as soon as possible after the main force of the Seya Detachment passed, perhaps the end of the Xuzhou Battle would be completely different!"

Jiang Baili couldn't help but whisper: "Student Zhang Lingfu, please don't go off topic."

"Yes, teacher!" Zhang Lingfu agreed respectfully, and said, "So, the Battle of Wuhan must learn from the failed experience of the Battle of Xuzhou, and the peripheral operations must become more active. In order to preserve the vitality, you can ignore the gains and losses of a city and a place, and you can't fight the Japanese army to death, but it is absolutely impossible to be idle!"

"But various harassment wars should be launched!"

"As for the specific harassment tactics, we only have one principle. We will fight as much as the Japanese are uncomfortable! We will fight as much as we can attack the Japanese more effectively!"

Hearing this, Zhong Yi immediately took the lead in applauding.

This time, Zhang Lingfu and Zhong Yi really thought of going together!

Amid the warm applause, Zhang Lingfu returned to his seat arrogantly.

Although his attitude towards Zhong Yi has changed drastically, this does not mean that Zhang Lingfu has become low-key.

Watching Zhang Lingfu return to his seat, Jiang Baili smiled and said, "Just now, the tactical analysis of Zhong Yi and Zhang Lingfu was very exciting, but it was still a bit too general. I don't know if the two students can form a written report on the specific defense deployment of the Wuhan Battle?"

Zhong Yi and Zhang Lingfu suddenly saw a lit up when they heard this.

Jiang Baili is going to pave the way for them, a good teacher!

After pausing, Jiang Baili turned his attention to other students and said, "If other students want to participate, they can also participate in the formulation of defense deployment."
Chapter completed!
