Chapter 46 Future?
At that moment, Zhong Yi pulled He Ajiu aside and asked in a low voice: "Ajiu, isn't the radio station broken?"
"The radio station is not broken." He Ajiu shook his head and said again, "Ayi, are you sure you want to do this? If you really cross Zhang Kongyi and ask for command power directly from the War Zone Chief Office or even the Commander Office, I believe you will get what you want, but the cost of doing so is too heavy, and you will become a public enemy of the entire Central Military System!"
Upon hearing this, a trace of haze flashed through Zhong Yi's eyes and said in a low voice: "You said, do I have any choice?"
"Ayi, the situation now doesn't seem that bad, right?" He Ajiu frowned, "The army of the four Japanese divisions was blocked by us for two days and nights. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Kongyi's 367th Regiment will definitely have built a complete defensive fortification in Jinshan County!"
Zhong Yi said: "Even if that's the case, how many days do you think the 367th Regiment can be kept?"
"This..." He Ajiu hesitated for a while and whispered, "It should be okay to stick to it for three days, right?"
After a pause, He Ajiu said again: "The command issued the order to the 367th Regiment is to hold on for at least five days, but I know that the bottom line of the command is to hold on for three days!"
"Three days? You are too optimistic!" Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, it's very difficult for a long time!"
"Half a day? This is not possible!" He Ajiu said, "Yao Ziqing only has one camp and has been guarding Baoshan County for seven days! Zhang Kongyi has a regiment in his hand, but he still can't defend Jinshan County for three days?"
Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "It can't be so simple and analogy!"
After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "Before Yao Ziqing's camp entered Baoshan County, it was not long after arriving at the Songhu battlefield. Not only were the entire battalion full of people, but the officers and soldiers were even more motivated and eager to fight! On the other hand, the Japanese army on the opposite side had only one infantry regiment, and had been fighting fiercely with Guojun on the front line of Baoshan for many days. They were exhausted and their morale was low."
"Looking at Zhang Kongyi's 367th Regiment, let alone this regiment has fought fiercely with the Japanese army on the Songhu battlefield for many days. I have heard of too many cases of defeat in the Japanese army with my own eyes. How high do you think their morale can be? On the other hand, the Japanese army landed from the Kingsoft Guard have the strength of four divisions, because they suffered a great loss in the Kingsoft Guard, the Japanese army must have made every effort to find the place in the Kingsoft County, which will increase one by the other. Do you still think that the 367th Regiment can hold on for three days?"
He Ajiu was immediately silent after hearing this, because he felt that what Zhong Yi said was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it!
Zhong Yi said again: "Also, Yao Ziqing graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy no matter what, and he knew a little bit of street fighting, but Zhang Kongyi graduated from the Hubei Military Academy and was an old officer. He didn't know anything street fighting at all. I dare to bet with you that he would definitely place his troops outside the city and on the city walls, but ignore the city!"
"Ayi, I believe your judgment is correct!" He Ajiu nodded and said, "However, I still don't agree with you asking the command directly from the commander, because doing so is really taboo! Doing so will ruin your future!"
"The future?" Zhong Yi sneered, "Compared with the safety of the 700,000 countries in the battlefield of Songhu, compared with the life and death of millions of people in western Shanghai, and compared with the fate of the country and the survival of the nation, what is the future of the individual?"
He Ajiu frowned and said, "Ayi, the situation may not be as bad as you said. Even if the 367th Regiment can only hold on to Jinshan County for a long time, it would be fine, because Songjiang and Wu Keren's 67th Army! The 67th Army is a new force, just transferred from the battlefield in North China. It is not that easy for the Japanese to complete the encirclement of the 700,000 national jun on the Songhu front!"
"No, Ajiu, you are wrong! The situation is worse than you imagined!" Zhong Yi said, "General Wu's 67th Army is indeed a new force. Under the premise of deploying defense in advance, there is still hope to stay in Songjiang for three to five days. However, the key to the problem is not this, but that once Jinshan County is lost, it will be a big trouble!"
Speaking of this, Zhong Yi paused and said, "Ajiu, have you ever thought about it? What does the loss of Jinshan County mean?"
"I know!" He Ajiu said, "Once Jinshan County is lost, it means that the right wing of the Songhu battlefield will be exposed, and it also means that the main force of the 700,000 countries in the Songhu battlefield may be surrounded and annihilated!"
"No, you don't know!" Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I'm not worried about the army. If the army is gone, we can train again. As long as China is not dead, as long as the Chinese are not dead, the army will never be short! Moreover, even if the Japanese conquered Jinshan County and Songjiang, it would not be easy to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the national army!"
"Isn't the main force of the country?" He Ajiu said in surprise, "Then what are you worried about?"
Zhong Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What I am worried about is the retreating industrial equipment!"
"Industrial Equipment?" He Ajiu was so shocked when he heard this. He suddenly realized this.
"Yes, industrial equipment!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "Ajiu, you should know better than me. Our Chinese national industry is basically concentrated around Shanghai. Some of them were moved before the Battle of Shanghai, but there were still a considerable number of factories that were not too late to relocate. Now they are pointing to Shanghai-Nanjing and Shanghai-Hangzhou railways, all their efforts to move inland! If the Japanese cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway at this time, it will cause a fatal obstacle to the industrial relocation and will also seriously weaken China's national strength and the potential of the War of Resistance!"
"Yes." He Ajiu nodded and said deeply, "War is not simply a competition of more people, but also a competition of more powerful industries! After all, it is no longer the era of cold weapons. We can't let our army fight with the Japanese planes and cannons with big swords and spears."
"So, Jinshan County cannot be lost too quickly!" Zhong Yi said, "If we stay in Jinshan County for one more day, at least a dozen factories will be moved to the inland through the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway. China's strength can be saved by one point! Of course, the surrounding people can also have more time to escape the battlefield!"
He Ajiu was silent. As far as he was concerned, what could he say more?
Zhong Yi also said: "Manpower and material resources are the two most basic guarantees of war. When we defend Jinshan County, we can not only preserve material resources for the country, but also preserve human resources for the nation. What reason is there to not protect it? We must not only guard it, but also guard Jinshan County for as long as possible!"
"Two days? It's far from enough!"
"Five days? Still not enough!"
"Seven days? Still not enough!"
