At the same time, the war room in the Wuhan camp.

After the rest, Principal Chang held another military meeting.

This is the second consecutive meeting held within one day. The topic of the meeting was the defensive deployment of the Wuhan Battle.

To determine the defensive deployment of the Wuhan Battle, we must first judge the direction of the Japanese army's main attack. Will the Japanese army go south along the Pinghan Railway or attack westward along the Yangtze River?

The senior leaders of the commander-in-chief expressed their opinions one after another.

"I think the Japanese army will definitely attack westward along the Yangtze River! The reason is obvious. If the attack along the Yangtze River, the Japanese army can not only receive naval support, but also have more convenient logistics supply."

"I think the Japanese army will attack from the Pinghan Line! Because our army has set up several shipwreck points along the Yangtze River, and there are fortresses like Madang, Tianjia Town, and Gedian. It is impossible for the Japanese army to consider this. In contrast, in the direction of the Pinghan Railway, our army basically has no danger to defend."

"The Japanese army will definitely fight west along the Yangtze River, because by fighting along the Yangtze River to Wuhan, the entire China can be cut into two sections in half. This is a heavy blow to our army's strategic dispatch and the country's long-lasting anti-Japanese war capabilities. It is impossible for the top Japanese army's top leaders to see this."

"I think the Japanese army will never be able to walk the Yangtze River unless they go crazy!"

"My opinion is exactly the opposite. I think it's crazy to walk the Pinghan Line!"

More than 20 senior leaders from the command headquarters once again quarreled, and the two factions were in stalemate.

Principal Chang's brows were frowning again, and his temples were also thrust, which was a headache.

At this time, Liu Sheng suddenly said: "Principal, unless the intelligence department can obtain the original Japanese combat plan, we may not easily assume whether they are going to the Pinghan Line or the Yangtze River, because once the judgment is wrong, the consequences will be too serious and none of us can afford it!"

President Chang agreed and said in a deep voice: "So what is your opinion?"

Liu Sheng said: "I believe that the Pinghan Railway and the Yangtze River must be deployed well in both directions!"

"Defensive deployment in both directions?" Principal Chang frowned, "Will the troops not be enough?"

"Yes, will the troops be insufficient?" Chen Shi immediately agreed, "The Japanese army gathered near Xuzhou alone has reached six divisions. If the Japanese army really decides to attack Wuhan, they will definitely continue to increase their troops. By then, the troops invested in Wuhan will definitely exceed ten divisions. Our army will be divided into two groups to defend Pinghan Road and the direction of the Yangtze River respectively. Is there really no problem?"

Liu Sheng turned his attention to Principal Chang and said in a deep voice: "It depends on how many troops the principal can concentrate on the Wuhan battlefield?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the senior generals and all the senior leaders in the conference room fell on Principal Chang's face, because only Principal Chang is qualified to answer this question.

Principal Chang did not answer immediately, but asked Liu Sheng back: "Wei Zhang, tell the truth, how much hope is our army to win the Battle of Wuhan?"

Liu Sheng said: "Principal, I can only answer you in one sentence and put it to death and live!"

Hearing this, Principal Chang's face immediately flushed. Mom Xipi, then give your all!

President Chang said: "This battle is related to the survival and death of the Party and the country. We must do our best. I am determined to invest in the whole country's troops, totaling 49 troops and more than 1.1 million people, to fight the Japanese invaders to the death on the battlefield in Wuhan!"

When he said this, Principal Chang was actually a little guilty because the forty-nine troops sounded quite large, and the total strength exceeded 1.1 million. However, among the more than 1.1 million people, the number of veterans was very small, and most of them were new recruits!

This is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that the equipment is even short of all, and many troops even lack the number of rifles!

But no matter what, Principal Chang tried his best. These more than 1.1 million people were already the limit of the troops he could gather!

"If this is the case, the troops are sufficient!" Liu Sheng nodded happily and said, "After all, the guiding strategy of the Wuhan Battle is the same as the Xuzhou Battle. It is a combination of internal and external methods. Therefore, even if the defensive forces deployed along the Pinghan Iron and the Yangtze River on both sides of the Yangtze River fail to block the Japanese army, it is not a big problem!"

"I'm right for Brother Zhang." Bai Chong nodded sadly and said, "The key to this battle is also the defense battle in Wuhan! As long as Wuhan can be defended, there will be a chance to win the battle in Wuhan, but if Wuhan cannot defend it or if it does not have enough time, the battle in Wuhan will definitely end in failure!"

President Chang said: "Shen Jiansheng thought, how long should we stay in Wuhan?"

Bai Chong said sadly: "It will take at least three months, otherwise it will not be able to drag down the Japanese army!"

Liu Sheng nodded and said, "The question now is, who will guard Wuhan?"

In an instant, the entire conference room became silent and the needle could be heard.

Not only did the senior leaders attending the meeting stop making a noise, but the senior generals were also silent.

It’s still the same thing, it’s easy to say, but it’s difficult to really make up your mind to burn the enemy!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this battle of defense of Wuhan will definitely be very different from the previous battle of defense of Nanjing and Taierzhuang. The troops guarding Wuhan this time will be truly defending the dead. It is probably impossible not to fight until the last soldier. Moreover, even if the battle is until the last soldier, the commander will not dispatch a reinforcement!

What’s even more terrible is that there are probably not many troops guarding Wuhan!

Although it has not been discussed yet, the most optimistic estimate will never exceed 100,000 people!

There are 100,000 people, and most of them are newly recruited new recruits. If you want to defend Wuhan for at least three months under the siege of more than ten divisions, God, is this a joke?

Principal Chang's gloomy eyes swept across the senior generals present, and found that no one dared to look at him. Obviously, they didn't want to, or dared not take on this difficult task.

Although there are still many powerful players outside, Principal Chang feels that no one dares to take on this task.

Because even he felt that this was simply an impossible task! How could it be possible for more than 100,000 people to defend Wuhan for at least three months under the siege of more than a dozen Japanese divisions?

After this, the military conference was held, there was no way to continue.

Because the problem of who is guarding Wuhan was not solved, nothing happened later.
