Chapter 665: Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent!

Xue Yue's statement was unanimously agreed by everyone present. However, even Du Haisheng had doubts that although Wuhan is an important economic and industrial town, it can really play such a key role. Can the victory or defeat in this place affect the outcome of the whole war? If that's the case, Yan Xishan and Jiang directly threw the troops to the front line of Hubei for a direct competition. Why did they put in heavy troops in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Anhui, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places to compete for the control of the Longhai line, not Wuhan, the confluence of the north-south Pinghan and Yuehan lines.

In addition, both Zhengzhou and Xi'an have the same advantages as Wuhan. The Longhai line runs through the two major cities, while Zhengzhou not only has the Longhai line, but also the Pinghan line. The strategic position is not inferior to Wuhan at all. In addition, those who get the Central Plains get the world. Now, the coalition forces of Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang have basically been controlled. All of Henan, most of Anhui, and western Shandong have gained considerable advantages in the battlefield of the Central Plains Congress.

There is also a certain reason for what Xue Yuezhi said, and everyone agrees with his point of view. However, as for just a Wuhan important town that can determine the outcome of the Battle of the Central Plains, everyone still has reservations and doubts.

Of course, Du Haisheng is also included.

Moreover, he feels that Jiang Zhongzheng and Yan Xishan have hoarded heavy troops in Hubei at the same time, occupying the traffic arteries, but they are not just trying to guard Wuhan and take charge of the Republic of China through Wuhan. Moreover, since the beginning of the Republic of China, after several large-scale riots and uprisings in Wuhan, the urban economy and scale They have been damaged to varying degrees, and it is definitely not enough to be the capital of the Republic of China.

I'm afraid that the intention of these people is not wine, but in the "potential" of Hubei and even Wuhan, transportation advantages, geographical advantages, industrial and economic advantages, and so on...

According to Du Haisheng's speculation, they are so eager to take Wuhan. The real intention is not only to serve as a transit center, but also to be regarded as a forward and offensive, retreat and defensive, or even farther away. It is not only Hubei, but also its bordering provinces, and the territory under its jurisdiction. In the mountains, once the war changes and shows defeat, then the unfavorable party can completely move from Chongqing to Sichuan and into the deep mountains and old forests in Hubei, and the northwest bordering Hubei is Feng Yuxiang's sphere of influence in the northwest, which can also be easily withdrawn.

As an allied army, Yanxi Mountain in Shanxi can bypass Shaanxi to enter its own base camp Shanxi, or take Henan to enter Shanxi territory. It can even cross Hunan and enter Guangxi to merge with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's subordinates. At that time, I'm afraid that Lao Jiang can't help them, so I can only watch their three armies. Let's meet and grow up completely.

Because of this, Lao Jiang will definitely not let Sun Lianzhong's Eighth Route Army successfully attack Wuhan, the 16th Route Army, which belongs to Gu Zhutong, who has rushed to Xiaogan in advance, and Ye Kaixin and Wang Jun's 10th Route Army, who have gone to Xiaogan at full speed after getting enough rest and supplement from Huai'an, will be more than 110,000 in Xiao. There are many soldiers in the area. Not only that, with the advantages of geographical location, Gu Zhutong's 16th Route Army can wait for Sun Lianzhong's Eighth Route Army to win or lose in Xiaogan, and Ye Kaixin and Wang Jun's 10th Route Army will be another reliance and reliance for Gu Zhutong's victory.

Before Sun Lianzhong's troops arrived in Wuhan, they had to accept the test of more than 110,000 troops, Gu Zhutong and Ye Kaixin. The situation was not optimistic.

After thinking for a long time, Du Haisheng said, "The total number of troops of Sun Lianzhong's troops is 100,000. After entering Xinyang some time ago, because of the tightness of the war in other places, Sun Lianzhong left more than 20,000 people, and the final strength was 80,000. Look at Gu Zhutong's troops. There are more than 50,000 soldiers in this person's 16th Route Army, Ye Kaixin. There are more than 60,000 people in the 10th Road Army under Wang Jun's jurisdiction, which are deployed on the front lines of Dawu, Guangshui, Xiaochang and Xiaogan. The first ones are Dawu and Guangshui. The total number of troops invested by Gu Zhutong and Qian Dajun in these two places is 80,000. Let's take a look at these four cities.

Du Haisheng said, drew a circle on the four cities on the map with a baton and said, "The distance between these four cities is only a few dozen kilometers, and they are horns. No matter which city is first attacked by Sun Lianzhong, the rescue of other brother troops can be reached within three hours, which is equivalent to Sun Lian. On the way to Wuhan, a large net was set up of four cities. Among these four cities, in addition to Guangshui, Dawu, Xiaochang and Xiaogan, the Pinghan Railway is passing through the border, and the transportation is also convenient.

"What does Du Junzun mean that he is not optimistic about the result of Sun Lianzhong's attack on Wuhan?"

As the governor of the two lakes, Tang Shengzhi obviously paid more attention to the battle in Hubei than others. Therefore, when he heard Du Haisheng's analysis, he asked rhetorically.

To his question, Du Haisheng just shook his head and said, "The soldier is impermanent, and the water is incarious. Everyone here has been in the battlefield for a long time. For the study of the art of war, he will definitely no longer be under Du. The so-called " soldier, the way!" I don't think I need to explain the meaning of this sentence. Sun Lianzhong is good at using troops. He is good at tricks and often makes people do something surprising. It is not impossible to take Wuhan, but it is by no means forced to pass from Guangshui and Dawu, which are heavily guarded by heavy soldiers. Otherwise, even if Gu Zhutong And Ye Kaixin's army was defeated, and I'm afraid that his soldiers will also suffer heavy losses.

With that, he said, "And Wuhan, guarded by Qian Dajun, is guarding the natural danger of the Yangtze River. At present, it is summer. It is rainy in Hubei, the river rises, and the water is urgent. Whether it is attacking during the day or raiding at night, the Yangtze River is undoubtedly a great test for them. It has suffered heavy losses in the battle with Gu Zhu. How can Sun Lianzhong's troops be the opponent of Qian Dajun, who relies on natural danger.

"What does that mean, according to Chief Du?"

Tang Shengzhi asked urgently that his last defeat in Hubei was because he suffered losses on the Yangtze River. However, last time, like the current Qian Dajun, he also defended Wuhan, but he was fooled by the other party. Psychologically, he felt that he relied on the danger of the Yangtze River and despised the other party. Therefore, he suffered When he was hit hard, he fled into Hunan, and his men betrayed him. In the end, he was depressed until Du Haisheng appeared.

"Detour it!"

Du Haisheng did not answer Tang Shengzhi's question clearly, but gave him five words succinatively and mysteriously.

The people present are extremely flexible. Even with these five short words, everyone still guessed what Du Haisheng said. Obviously, if you want to take Wuhan, you must bypass the front line of Dawu and Guangshui and avoid the army of Gu Zhutong and Ye Kaixin. Only by raiding Wuhan can we succeed.

But there is a problem at present. Now, the whole Republic of China knows that Sun Lianzhong's army has gone to Hubei. If it suddenly disappears in the middle, it is bound to cause the vigilance and preparedness of Qian Dajun, Gu Zhutong, Ye Kaixin and others. Even if they are fooled, there is another situation that has to be considered, that is, - - Crossing the river!

After entering July, all parts of the south of the Yangtze River have entered a period of heavy rainstorms, especially in Hubei. In the past month, it has been overcast and rained continuously. Sichuan in the upstream has become a rainstorm disaster. The river water has also soared with the rain, and the turbulence is so urgent. Even a car will be rushed out of sight in an instant. This also caused considerable suffering for Sun Lianzhong to cross the river.

Du Haisheng saw that everyone seemed to be enlightened, smiled, and then said, "Since everyone is so concerned about the current situation of the Central Plains Great War today, and just now, General Yue has also expressed his own opinion, Du agrees very much. However, the war is still going on, and no one can predict it. Looking forward to the final result, we will turn our attention from Hubei and lock it here.

Du Haisheng said, the baton moved up, and finally stayed in a place. Everyone took the opportunity to look over. The place Du Haisheng clicked and said, "Zhandong?"

In the presence, everyone knows the enmity between Du Haisheng and Zhang Zongchang, and Du Haisheng turned his attention to Shandong at this time. Is there any inevitable connection?

This has to arouse their speculation.

Is it possible that Du Haisheng's so-called fight is to start from Shandong and teach Zhang Zongchang a fierce lesson?

Some time ago, he echoed Zhang Xueliang from the northeast and vigorously exaggerated the robbery of arms and weapons in Shandong in the newspaper, and Huazhong meant that he directly pointed to Zhang Zongchang, the chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government and the army supervised.

However, later, Zhang Zongchang also fought back in the newspaper and received a response from the Nanjing National Government. However, when everyone felt that the two sides were competing openly and secretly, Du Haisheng and Zhang Xueliang chose to remain silent at the same time, as if the two had disappeared in an instant, but Wu Pei Fu and Sun Chuanfang and others will not think so.

They know Du Haisheng. This guy belongs to the kind of person who respects me and I respects you. You scold me and I give you a shot. You punch me. I directly want the master of your life. It's most appropriate for a gentleman to use it on him to have revenge. Moreover, never think about the phrase "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." The meaning will be reflected in him.

This guy rarely has a night's revenge. Everything that can't get along with him and fights with him has been rudely removed by thunderous means. However, Du Haisheng showed extreme magnitude that is different from the past. If something abnormal, there must be demons. Obviously, Du Haisheng and Zhang Xueliang chose to be silent at the same time, which must be thought-provoking and thought-provoking.

Now, in front of everyone, Du Haisheng mentioned the Shandong battlefield again. No wonder the nerves of the people present were a little ** and were picked up by him.

Du Haisheng made it clear whether in the past few years or at the beginning of the Central Plains Congress that neither side of the war would be completely neutral at the beginning.

It's just that if his previous attitude has loosened and he wants to send troops, he will be anonymous and there is no reason. At that time, the people in the world will think that he is dishonest to the people.

The best way to solve this problem is to find an excuse to convince the whole world.

As for this excuse, the weapons sold by Du's enterprises were attacked in Shandong during the escort process of the Third Regiment of the Northeast Army, and all the arms were sold out, which is the best reason...
