Chapter 552 Xue Yue's phone call (sorry!)
Wang Mingyu is just a preliminary plan for the trip to the United States. After all, it is still during the Battle of Wuhan. Wang Mingyu only expressed his meaning in the senior management. Some things must be carried out in advance, such as saying hello to the organization and other things. Now Wang Mingyu proposed them clearly to make some plans for his future.
The Xue Yue corps on the northern front has been resisting the Japanese invasion for a long time. He participated in the battle at the beginning of the Wuhan Battle. Chairman Jiang had very high expectations for them. Xue Yue's status in the army was also quite high. Otherwise, how could he be valued by Chairman Jiang like this?
Even if the Japanese army focused on the Tongcheng area of the East Line, Chairman Jiang never stopped supervising the North Line. This is definitely not alarmist or something. The defense of the North Line is definitely the top priority, and it is even more important than the Eastern Line. However, the Japanese army wanted to eliminate the 318th Army, which led to serious deviations in their tactics.
Although there are many mountains on the northern line, the direct highway is definitely under the control of the Japanese army, but it is different in Tongcheng. Although Tongcheng could be directed to Wuhan in the past, it was just some comfort from the Japanese army to him. Tongcheng had Dabie Mountain in the past. The Japanese mechanized troops were not enough to spread. Their main purpose was the 318th Army.
Xue Yue is currently commanding his own corps to fight in Henan on the North Line. The Japanese attack is increasing every day, and it is more intense every day than before. Obviously, once the Japanese army makes up their minds, they will never drag on the situation and want to use the fastest way to open the battle in Wuhan. This situation was originally possible in Tongcheng, but now the 10th Army of Okamura Yasuji on the North Line has opened up.
Xue Yue is calling Wang Mingyu at this moment because he wants to ask Wang Mingyu for some advice on how to deal with the Japanese army. His purpose is not to defeat the Japanese army, but to constantly consume the Japanese army's combat power. Although Xue Yue is proud of his military talent, he also admires his younger brother very much, and his words and deeds are quite admirable.
It is not possible to make phone calls without a certain level of military dedicated lines, but Xue Yue and Wang Mingyu are obviously not within this range. You should know that both of them are absolutely representatives of the real power faction. In the government, no one dares to provoke their majesty. Even if Chairman Jiang offends them, he must think twice before acting.
There are very few telephone calls in the military line of Tongcheng, because Tongcheng is almost a self-developed and has very little contact with other troops, even Chairman Jiang communicates with them, most of the situation is that the 318th Army seems to be used to using telegrams for security reasons.
Xue Yue picked up the phone and dialed the headquarters of the 318th Army in Tongcheng. This was already a week after Wang Mingyu and Qian Liye and others talked to each other. Xue Yue's face was very serious next to the phone. The pressure brought to them by the Japanese army was really great. Xue Yue saw that the 318th Army was so relaxed in fighting the Japanese, and he also consciously wanted to get the scriptures.
Hello, I am Wang Mingyu. Wang Mingyu's low voice came from the other end of the phone. Xue Yue seemed to hear the sound of fairy sounds, and his expression seemed to relax suddenly.
Commander-in-Chief Wang Haha, brother, I am your elder brother Xue. You didn’t forget me. Xue Yue’s cheerful voice also reached Wang Mingyu’s ears.
Haha, Brother Xue, how could I forget Brother Xue? I have tried to call Brother Xue many times, but there were too many things that happened some time ago. This delay was a long time since I didn’t expect Brother Xue to call me first. It’s really rude. Since the last time I parted in Wuhan, I miss my brother very much. Wang Mingyu said politely.
You guys are pretty, haha I don’t go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. This time I called because I wanted to ask for advice on some things, brother.
Brother, you said, as long as I, Wang Mingyu, can help, there is absolutely nothing else. Wang Mingyu agreed without thinking. In fact, Wang Mingyu is still a person who admires Xue Yue deeply.
It's nothing big. Now the Japanese attack on me is getting more and more fierce day by day, and I rushed forward like a lifeless evil dog, which made my pressure suddenly increase. I wonder if I should give me a trick to my brother, so that I can beat these turtles like me. Although Xue Yue's voice was calm and gentle, Wang Mingyu heard a hint of anxiousness.
Haha, it seems that all the pressure on us has been transferred to Brother Xue Yue. But I don’t dare to speak nonsense in front of Brother Xue. Wang Mingyu would rather be polite. You kid, don’t be humble in front of us. If you don’t dare to speak nonsense, I don’t even dare to say anything. Give me some experience. Haha
Xue Yue said with a smile and Wang Mingyu coughed on the other end of the phone: Then I will tell Brother Xue a few of my own feelings. This is the first point, and it is naturally a momentum of being invincible. If you can truly do this, then I think this will be half successful. Wang Mingyu’s so-called first point is naturally not afraid of death. If each soldier thinks about himself, then there is no way to fight.
Xue Yue smiled awkwardly and said: I naturally know this, but some things are not something I can control. You also know that the relationship in our army is very complicated. Some people believe that they are tough in the background and repeatedly disobey their orders and escape on the battlefield. In the end, the troops are without leaders and soldiers are no longer in the lead. Can they still expect them to win the battle? But I find a way to solve this problem.
Wang Mingyu continued: If this is solved, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be improved by at least one level, and the cooperation between the military and civilians will be achieved. To be honest, the Japanese army does not have a deep understanding of us Chinese. Compared with the Japanese army, our hard power is indeed worse, but we can rely on the terrain to fight step by step.
Xue Yue said when he heard this: This is also right, but it is very difficult to recruit civil servants now. Who is willing to work for you for free?
Wang Mingyu said: Working for nothing is forced, and this effect will naturally not be very good. If you want the people to support you, you must first respect them. I think with the current strength, fighting more street fighting or ambush may be better, but with their combat effectiveness, it is obviously unlikely to completely stop the Japanese army's attack.
However, Brother Xue, I think although your North Line is under great pressure at present, there is absolutely no problem after persisting for a month. Now I will teach you a method. You can persist for at least two months. Wang Mingyu raised Xue Yue's appetite. Two months is the time that Xue Yue has always dreamed of.
Xue Yue hurriedly said: What method is it? Is it possible that your brother has any good method and refuses to show his power? Brother, I was ordered to die by the commission. If the northern line is lost, it will be dealt with by military law. Now I am no different from the ant on the hot pan. Although Xue Yue's speech is humorous, Wang Mingyu can also hear his urgency.
Wang Mingyu said: Actually, the Japanese army's goal is Wuhan. I see from the map that there are several necessary roads. These places are definitely the top priority of the Japanese army. Their preparations are naturally very sufficient. But no matter how sufficient they are, they cannot compare to us. I think Brother Xue also knows this.
Well, Xue Yue nodded, and Wang Mingyu continued: Since this is the case, why don’t we do the opposite? Many places don’t look eye-catching, and even people who don’t pay attention may think that those places are not suitable for offense or defense. At this time, we must find ways to turn these places into key places for our offense or defense.
Oh, I wish to hear the details of Xue Yue, Wang Mingyu smiled and said: This is the relationship between the military and civilians I just mentioned. Now you can let the people in the rear cooperate with you, dig out rivers or pile up some highs and lows, then evacuate some small towns, and start building dense street fighting firepower points to effectively stop the Japanese army. I think this brother Xue should understand.
Xue Yue's eyes lit up immediately. He didn't expect this. In fact, even if someone thought about it, he wouldn't dare to tell Xue Yue that these things were actually very common. However, the National Revolutionary Army was a regular army. They generally disdained these small means to stop the Japanese army. What they like most was to set up a formation and do a life-and-death battle with the Japanese army.
You can't say that such troops are stupid, but they do have many battles that could have been won but were ruined by their stubbornness. There are countless examples of this. Xue Yue has not tried these gadgets very much, but what Wang Mingyu said does make sense. The most important thing is that Xue Yue knows that Wang Mingyu can delay the Japanese army.
The 318th Group Army's brilliant record is there. They have been in Tongcheng for so long, and the Japanese army has not made any progress. This is the best proof, but there is no need to exaggerate these words. If it is said by others, Xue Yue might sneer, but if it is Wang Mingyu, it would be a different height.
People are like this. Some words may be said by an unknown person, which is an optional sentence, but if it were a very authoritative person in this field, these words would be particularly valued by their peers. Xue Yue is not immune to the vulgarity now. Listening to Wang Mingyu's words is like hearing the sound of nature, as if Wang Mingyu's words are very reasonable.
Xue Yue nodded and said: What you said can really hinder the Japanese army for at least one month. Although Xue Yue agreed with him psychologically, he still felt that the impact of these little things on the entire battle situation should not be so great. This is also a manifestation of lack of confidence that Xue Yue has not practiced in this area.
Xue Yue's resume is extremely rich, but he has always fought in regular troops. The things in the original are basically the same thing without any innovation. This is also a factor that has caused the Japanese army to a certain extent at a small cost, because their attitude towards the people and their use of terrain is very high.
Wang Mingyu smiled and said: Brother Xue, if you feel uneasy, you can experiment on a small scale first. If it works, then use it on a large scale immediately. Now the Japanese army is coming in full force. Don’t they rely on their mechanized troops? If their tanks are trapped in the quagmire, do you think their speed can get faster.
Xue Yue smiled and said: Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years. I have been taught. It seems that I have called the right phone number. Now I feel a sudden feeling.
Wang Mingyu said: When the gap between the enemy and us is obvious, if it remains unchanged, the Japanese army will naturally be unscrupulous. If we keep changing, the Japanese army will throw themselves at the rat and be afraid of their weapons. Their efficiency will naturally slow down. I think if I follow my method, two months will be just a conservative estimate. I think the real time should be about three months.
Three months ago Xue Yue was shocked, and Wang Mingyu continued: In fact, the Japanese army is not as terrible as imagined. To say that if Brother Xue's army had the combat effectiveness of our army, it would not be a problem for the Japanese army to invade our country. Wang Mingyu's words were filled with a sense of dominance.
Xue Yue actually knew that Wang Mingyu's words were not alarmist. Wang Mingyu guarded Tongcheng with 60,000 people, resisted 100,000 Japanese troops, and wiped out 50,000 Japanese troops, which greatly hit the Japanese arrogance and forced the Japanese army to turn the center of the Wuhan Battle from Tongcheng to Henan on the northern front line. There is nothing I don't admire now.
After all, everyone is Chinese, or some people are jealous of Wang Mingyu's promotion, but they are jealous and have to admire Wang Mingyu's ability to fight. If they have such credit, I am afraid they will still dislike Chairman Jiang's promotion a bit slow, but many people have the problem of red eye disease.
Xue Yue and Wang Mingyu had another conversation and hung up the phone. Xue Yue was busy now, and Wang Mingyu was also a big deal. The two of them hung up the phone in about twenty minutes after chatting. Xue Yue couldn't wait to hold a meeting at this moment to discuss how to arrange Wang Mingyu's plan, because he also felt that it was very feasible.
