Yinjiang, General Staff of Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps.

He Wenxi walked in with a telegram and said to Zhong Yi: "As the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief's emergency telegram."

Zhong Yi received the telegram, glanced at it, and immediately outlined a contemptuous curve.

He Wenxi said in a deep voice: "Select, you can't reply to this telegram. The commander is forcing you to issue a military order!"

"Make a military order? What does it mean?" Yu Bojun, the commander of the Sixth Regiment, happened to come to the General Staff to report to Zhong Yi. Hearing this, he received the telegram from Zhong Yi.

After reading the telegram, Yu Bojun's face also changed.

Yu Bojun said: "Yes, Director He is right. You cannot reply to this telegram."

After pausing, Yu Bojun said again: "If you reply to the commander, you are only 40% sure, then you will be confirmed as being afraid of the enemy and afraid of difficulties. You have already disobeyed once. If you confirm that the enemy and afraid of difficulties, they will be able to deal with you openly, so you must not call back."

He Wenxi said: "If the president responds that he is 60 to 70% sure, it will become a military order. If the Zhejiang-Fujian Battle is won in the end, it will be a good idea, but if he loses, they will put all the blame on you, and then they will use you as a scapegoat!"

"Four or five percent sure? Six or seven percent sure?" Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Director He, Captain Yu, what are you thinking? I can tell you responsibly that the possibility of winning the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian is not even 40% or 60% or even 10% of the possibility, at best, only half a percent!"

"Ah?" Yu Bojun was stunned when he heard this.

He Wenxi also said blankly: "Shenzhen, didn't you say 55 or 5 before?"

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "What I mean by 55 is not to win the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian."

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "The so-called winning of the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian is to give the Japanese army a decisive blow. Even if the Japanese army cannot be wiped out completely, at least more than half of it must be wiped out! Or the Japanese army back to the area before the war begins, so that it is a real victory. Do you think this is possible?"

"Damage the Japanese army severely, or drive the Japanese army back to the original area?" He Wenxi and Yu Bojun looked at each other for a moment. Of course, this was absolutely impossible. Due to the huge gap between the two sides at the weapon level, once the Japanese army occupied a certain place, it would be extremely difficult for the national army to retake it again.

Since the war started, two slaps of the county towns that the Kuomintang army has recaptured can be counted.

Moreover, most of the counties seized were given up because of inconvenient transportation.

Zhong Yi said again: "What I said to you before is to form two new stalemate lines north of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway and southern Zhejiang to ensure the smooth flow of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway. There is still hope of achieving this goal. I dare not say 80% of the time, but I still have 50% or 60% of the time."

Yu Bojun said: "So, the commander is playing a word game, deliberately making ambiguous words and not explaining clearly the true meaning of winning the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian. This is clearly digging a hole for the gentry."

"I'll call back to the commander-in-chief and ask them to explain the specific definition of winning."

After He Wenxi finished speaking, he turned around and was about to walk to the communications next door, but as soon as he turned around, Zhong Yi stopped him.

"He Wenren, there is no need for this." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "What's more, even if you ask them to explain, they will not explain. Our soldiers are responsible for obeying orders!"

Yu Bojun said: "Sheng, since we know this is a pit, we can't jump in!"

Yu Bojun was very grateful for Zhong Yi's voluntary digging him from Yu Liangzhen, and entrusting him with the important task of the regiment commander as soon as he came, and gave him all the veterans of his sixth regiment. Therefore, he felt quite the mission of some soldiers dying for his confidant. So after knowing that Zhong Yi was plotted by others, he was very excited.

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Director He, you reply immediately to the command headquarters. You just reply, saying that if I give me full command and right to deal with it on the spot, I will be very confident of winning the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian!"

"Ah? Very sure?"

"Very sure? It means winning securely?"

He Wenxi and Yu Bojun were both stunned when they heard this.

Even if you boast, you can't praise it like that, right?

Very sure enough, this is to regard the six divisions of the Japanese as native chickens and tiles!

After a while, He Wenxi asked in a low voice: "Shenzhen, do you really reply like this?"

Yu Bojun also said: "Sheng, we know you are very angry, but I am also very angry, but no matter how angry I am, I will not be angry with the commander."

Yu Bojun thought to himself that if this telegram is really sent out, Zhong Yi will be doomed.

Even if the Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian ended, the Kuomintang army realized its pre-war intentions and formed a new stalemate line north of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway and the mountainous areas in southern Zhejiang. Even if the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway was preserved, the commander-in-chief could be said that the Battle of Zhejiang-Fujian was not won. In this way, Zhong Yi would not only not make any contribution, but even did not even work hard.

Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said to He Wenxi: "Just reply like this."

Zhong Yi was naturally thinking more deeply than He Wenxi and Yu Bojun. He could even guess the contradictory mood of Principal Chang.

On the one hand, adhering to the principle of not using it without Huangpu, Principal Chang is really reluctant to use it as a Chinese dimpo.

But on the other hand, there are still too few senior commanders under Principal Chang who can fight tough battles. Xue Yue must be one, but he wants to be in Changsha and cannot move lightly!

Li Guangxi is also considered one, but he also has to stay in Tongbai Mountain at this time.

Fu Yisheng is also considered one, but now he is far away in Suiyuan, and it is difficult to quench his near thirst from afar.

The remaining generals, even Bai Xiaozhuge, have been proven in the Battle of Suzao, and their command ability in the front line is actually very average, so it is better to stay in the commander-in-chief as a staff officer.

The remaining direct generals like Du Yuming and Hu Zongnan still lack the experience of being alone. They suddenly took on one aspect of their responsibility, which was too risky and irresponsible.

So, after all the calculations, it is only Zhong Yi who is barely useful.

Although Zhong Yi's military rank is low, he is only a major general, but he has independently commanded the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Wuhan, and has good results.

Therefore, Zhong Yi was able to roughly guess President Chang’s thoughts.

Principal Chang wanted to use him immediately, but he had to be careful of him.

In short, he had to use his abilities, but he could not make him achieve meritorious results in the battle between Zhejiang and Fujian, so he took such a painstaking effort to make a word game and dig such a pit for him.
