Chapter 540 Disobedience
"What, Wuhan battle plan was cancelled?"
"All participating troops withdraw from the battle immediately?"
"This is too sudden, I'm not prepared at all!"
As soon as Feng Yuxiang finished speaking, the entire conference room was in full swing.
Zhong Yi also held his forehead with his hands. Before today, he once thought that Principal Chang had changed his mind and had learned lessons from the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing, and no longer interfered in the command of the front line. However, the facts proved that he was still too naive. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Principal Chang has no change at all!
When the Wuhan Battle reached a critical moment, President Chang took action again!
And the move is a big move, the plan is cancelled, and all troops will withdraw from the battle!
What's this fucking thing? Not to mention that the Wuhan Battle is far from over, even if it is really at the end of the desperate situation, there is still a saying that it will be backfire before death!
In a word, the Japanese don’t sacrifice 100,000 to 80,000 yuan, and they don’t want to take over the three towns of Wuhan!
At that moment, Zhong Yi directly said to the Communications Director Luo Zhaozong: "Director Luo, call back immediately. The command from the command has been received. However, all departments of the Wuhan Garrison Command have been launched on all sides and cannot withdraw from the battle!"
"Ah?" Luo Zhaozong said dumbfoundedly, "Sheng, just reply to the commander's headquarters?"
"What?" Zhong Yi's eyes became cold and he said in a deep voice, "Do you want me to say it again?"
"Yes!" Luo Zhaozong subconsciously stood up attentively, then turned around and sent a telegram to the commander's headquarters.
For some reason, just now, Luo Zhaozong suddenly appeared in his mind that Brigade Commander Ke and General Xu, who had been killed by Zhong Yi, had the Lord surnamed Zhong, who dared to kill even if he had disagreements. If he dared not obey the order, wouldn’t he kill him like killing a chicken? What’s more, he didn’t want to disobey Zhong Yi’s orders.
Watching Luo Zhaozong's figure go away, Feng Yuxiang said quietly: "Zi Ren, this is disobedience."
Zhong Yi nodded and said, "I know, but the war ends so quickly. Are you willing to do it? Will the entire garrison headquarters be willing?"
"Okay!" Feng Yuxiang slapped the table and said proudly, "Then disobey!"
After a moment of pause, Feng Yuxiang said again: "No matter what the final result is, I will bear all the consequences!"
Just as Zhong Yi was about to speak, he was interrupted by Feng Yuxiang rudely: "Zi Ren, you don't need to talk anymore. I am the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison Command. I can ignore the specific command, but it's not your turn to take responsibility!"
Zhong Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, now, can I continue the military analysis just now?"
"Ah?" Feng Yuxiang scratched his head awkwardly and said quickly, "Continue, then you can continue to analyze."
Zhong Yi nodded and said, "By the way, where did I just talk about it?"
Zhang Shiliang said: "She is the seat, you just mentioned the proportion of casualties between the enemy and us, and you need to add a little more."
"Yes, I want to add something!" Zhong Yi continued, "We are the defensive party in the Wuhan defense battle, so after each battle, the battlefield should be under our control. This means that our wounded people can generally receive timely medical treatment, so the number of casualties will be smaller!"
Everyone agreed with this, including Zhang Shiliang.
In the previous Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Xuzhou, the casualties between the Kuomintang and the Japanese army were so high as 1 to 5 or even 1 to 1 to 10, mainly because after the battle, the Japanese army gained control of the battlefield, which allowed the Japanese soldiers to be treated, while the wounded soldiers of the Kuomintang were killed by the final blow!
However, this situation will definitely not happen again in the war of defense in Wuhan!
Zhong Yi continued: "Considering that our army controls the battlefield and all the wounded can be treated in time, it is possible to achieve a casualty of 300,000, because casualties do not equal deaths. After the wounded are healed, they can still step onto the battlefield again. Do you think so?"
Zhang Shiliang said: "But, our army has only 10 brigades of 80,000 people. If we want to achieve 300,000 casualties, wouldn't it mean that each person will be injured three times? Is this possible?"
"You are wrong, it's not that exaggerated." Zhong Yi said, "Our army is not 80,000, but 150,000!"
"Fifteen thousand?" Zhang Shiliang said, "What I mean is that 20,000 disabled veterans and 50,000 militiamen are counted? But these 20,000 disabled veterans and 50,000 militiamen have no combat power at all."
"Staff Officer Zhang, you are wrong again." Zhong Yi said, "Twenty thousand disabled veterans may not be able to participate in the attack, but they are not worse than anyone else for defense! As for the 50,000 militiamen, they do not have much combat effectiveness now, but the Japanese can use us to train troops. Why can't we use them to train troops in the opposite direction?"
"Well, let's use the Japanese to train troops?" Feng Yuxiang said, "Zi Ren, what do you mean?"
"I mean very simple!" Zhong Yi said, "The Japanese are engaged in rotational warfare, and we also engage in rotational warfare. The 50,000 militiamen in Wuchang are immediately incorporated into the Hankou Defense Zone, and they are allowed to mix with the officers and soldiers of the 367th Brigade, the Guard Brigade and the Special Brigade. Oh, by the way, there are five guard brigades in Hanyang Defense Zone and Wuchang Defense Zone. You can also switch to the Hankou Defense Zone to fight with the Japanese!
"Wonderful! This idea is wonderful!" Feng Yuxiang slapped his thigh and shouted, "I think this method is OK!"
Zhong Yi then said to Zhang Shijing: "Staff General Zhang, then step up the plan for the rotation battle!"
"Yes!" Master Zhang stood attentively.
...
After leaving the conference room, Feng Yuxiang asked in a low voice: "Zi Ren, have you considered a question?"
Zhong Yi said: "The chief officer is worried about the Ninth War Zone? Are you worried that the First Corps can't stand it?"
"Yes." Feng Yuxiang said worriedly, "If Xue Yue can't stop Okamura Yanji, we will make flowers in Wuhan and break Hitokurimiya's legs, which will be useless."
After a pause, Feng Yuxiang said again: "What's more, the commander has explicitly ordered the cancellation of the Battle of Wuhan. We dare to disobey, but Xue Yue and Zhang Lingfu may not dare to disobey!"
"This is not what we should consider." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Chief, you are the commander-in-chief of Wuhan garrison, and I am the chief staff director of Wuhan garrison headquarters. Our duty is to fight the Wuhan defense battle. As for what the Ninth War Zone will be like with Okamura's 11th Army, it is Xue Yue and Zhang Lingfu's affairs!"
"You boy." Feng Yuxiang pointed to Zhong Yi and said, "I'm really not afraid of anything."
Zhong Yi said: "A gentleman is bare and a villain is always worried. As long as I have a country and a nation in my heart, what's there to be afraid of?"
