"Indeed!" Zhu Liangcheng said, "Sir Bai is a little swollen!"

"Bai Chong's grief is not because he is inflated, but because he is jealous!" Zhong Yi said, "He did not fight the battle between Xiaogan and Yunwu Mountain, so he was trying to fight a great victory that really belonged to him, Bai! But he didn't know that with the pitiful combat power of the national army at this time, not to mention a comprehensive counterattack, it would be very difficult to eat the two divisions entering the Dabie Mountains!"

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "What's more worrying is that the two Japanese divisions entered the Dabie Mountains at this time obviously had a deeper intention, not just as simple as rescuing Higashinoriya Nianyan!"

"Deeper intention?" Zhu Liangcheng said sternly, "What other intentions can you have?"

Zhong Yi said: "Although the Japanese army suffered a great defeat in the Battle of Wuhan and even the Second Army was wiped out by us, it would be naive to think that Japan's national strength had been exhausted and could no longer organize a larger-scale attack."

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Zi Ren, what do you mean is that the national strength of Japan has not yet been exhausted, and there is still potential to tap?"

"That's of course!" Zhong Yi said, "Japan's total national income last year was about 30 billion yen, while its military expenditure was about 4 billion yen. In other words, the military expenditure of Japan only accounts for more than 10% of its total national income, less than 20%. However, when necessary, a country's military expenditure can even reach 50% or even 70% of the total national income. Therefore, Japan's national strength is far from exhausted, and it still has great potential to tap!"

What Zhong Yi said is not a fool, but a factual basis!

In fact, in another time and space, Japan's national strength had not yet been exhausted until 1945, and it still had the potential to fight the local decisive battle with the US military that was about to land. For this reason, it even mobilized and organized more than 7 million troops!

If it weren't for the two atomic bombs, I really don't know how much it would cost to land in Japan!

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "So, although the little Japanese suffered a great defeat in the Battle of Wuhan, they will never give up. Next, they will definitely mobilize more troops to launch a larger-scale attack on Wuhan! At this time, the most important thing to do is to quickly deploy defense, but our Chief Bai is still ready to counterattack!"

Hearing this, Zhu Liangcheng's face was no longer very good-looking.

Zhong Yi continued, "If I had not made a mistake, the Japanese army's attack should be fishing. The two divisions that entered the Dabie Mountains were fishing bait. Once our army was deceived by biting the hook, the Japanese army would use these two divisions to tightly restrain the main force of our Dabie Mountains War Zone. Then, the troops were divided into two groups, along the Yangtze River and Pinghan Railway, and quickly penetrated into Wuhan. At this time, my main elite were all in the Dabie Mountains. There were only a small number of troops left along the Yangtze River and Pinghan Railway, and it was impossible to withstand the fierce assault of the Japanese heavy army group!"

Hearing this, Zhu Liangcheng's face became very ugly.

Zhong Yi continued: "Once the two heavy army groups of the Japanese army meet in Wuhan, then our heavy army groups gathered in the Dabie Mountains will fall into the siege of the Japanese army! The tragedy that had not been staged in the Battle of Xuzhou will be staged in the Second Battle of Wuhan, and the elite main force of the National Army will be completely wiped out!"

"No!" Hearing this, Zhu Liangcheng almost jumped up, "Zi Ren, you must immediately report your judgment to the Chief of the War Zone. No, report it directly to the Chongqing Command!"

"The report must be reported! Lao Zhu, please send a report to Macheng immediately!" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "But, it may not be enough to send a report. I have to go to Macheng in person and have a good talk with our Chief Bai!"

"Yes!" Zhu Liangcheng said, "It just so happens that Chief Bai is looking for you too."

...

In Macheng, the war zone chief department.

Bai Chongbei directly requisitioned the Macheng County Office, and it will be settled.

A huge sand table was built in the war room after only one afternoon from the commander's office of the Fifth War Zone.

The sand table shows the terrain of the Dabie Mountains.

At this moment, Bai Chongbei stood in front of the sand table with his hands on his back, looking hesitant.

From the sand table, you can clearly see the situation chart of the Chinese and Japanese armies in the mountains.

The 22nd Division and the 27th Division of the Japanese Army have fully deployed from Guifeng Mountain, Bodaofeng, Tiantangzhai to Baimazing.

Looking at the sand table, Bai Chong curled an invisible smile on his lips and said, "From the deployment of the Japanese army, it is obviously lack of confidence!"

"Not that." Li Pinxian said, "The little Japanese set up a long snake formation between Guifeng Mountain, Bodao Peak, Tiantang Village and the white horse tip, and they are fighting the idea of ​​defending each layer and resisting step by step! In this way, the little Japanese also has the ability. They have seen that we are going to counterattack, so they have prepared in advance!"

"But can this be defended?" Luo Zhengying said, "There are more than one road in Dabie Mountain! The Japanese laid heavy troops from Guifeng Mountain, Bodao Peak, Tiantang Village to Baimazing. We can completely detour from other paths and then in turn give the Japanese a siege. What else can they do when they see?"

At this moment, a communications consultant hurried in.

"Commander-in-Chief!" The communications staff reported, "The special combat brigade of the Rong 1st Division was urgently sent!"

"The Special Forces Brigade of the 1st Division?" Bai Chong said sadly, "It must be Zi Ren's telegram!"

After saying that, Bai Chongbei took two steps forward and couldn't wait to receive the telegram from the communications consultant.

However, after just one look, Bai Chong's sad face collapsed, and after a moment, it became extremely gloomy.

Li Pinxian and Luo Zhengying, who were standing next to him, immediately shouted, and thought to himself, it could not be that Zhong Yi had any accident, right? From Bai Chong's sad expression, they could only think of this level.

At that moment, Li Pinxian whispered: "Mr. Jian, what happened to Director Zhong?"

"You'd better see it yourself." Bai Chong breathed a sigh of relief and handed the telegram to Li Pinxian.

After reading the telegram, Li Pinxian was not as angry as Bai Chongbei, but his expression was a bit strange.

Luo Zhengying couldn't help asking, "Brother Heling, what did the telegram say?"

"Our Director Zhong, asks all troops in the war zone to stop advancing to the Dabie Mountains immediately!" Li Pinxian handed the telegram to Luo Zhengying while speaking, "and also said that the Japanese 22nd Division and the 27th Division entered the Dabie Mountains were fishing. If our Dabie Mountains war zone launches a counterattack, it will be exactly what the Japanese think!"

"There is still this?" Luo Zhengying received the telegram and hurriedly finished reading, and a smile appeared on her face immediately.
