Speak east and attack west?

The Japanese army attacked Wuchang was a void, and its real purpose was to attack Hankou or Hanyang?

Tune the tiger away from the mountain?

Swallow the three towns of Wuhan in one bite?

Wang Yaqiao's analysis immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao said in a deep voice: "Everyone, let me ask now, how many troops do you have in Hanyang and Hankou?"

Immediately, Tang Zhibang, the commander of the 451st Regiment, who was in charge of Hankou's defense, replied: "Our unit is in Hankou, and only one battalion's troops are left at present."

Zhang Qiubai, the commander of the 452nd Regiment, who was in charge of Hanyang's defense, also replied: "Our troops are in Hanyang, and there are only one battalion of troops, less than 500."

At this time, Colonel Hu Sanmin said anxiously: "Then what are we waiting for? Leader Tang and Leader Zhang, you will immediately turn to Hankou and Hanyang. As for Wuchang, just leave it to us. I promise you that people are there and the city is there!"

Qiu Ze, the leader of the 450th Regiment, who was in charge of Wuchang City Defense, also nodded heavily.

He knew very well that once the 451st Regiment and the 452nd Regiment each turned to Hankou and Hanyang, the military strength of Wuchang City would inevitably be reduced a lot, and the pressure on his 450th Regiment would still be very high.

Compared with the serious consequences of losing all three towns in Wuhan, it is better to just lose one Wuchang.

It’s just helpless to choose the least one of the two evils!

Thinking of this, the group leader Qiu Ze looked at Ouyang, Wang Yaqiao and others again, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"The White Tiger Column killed more than 5,800 enemies at Xiannv Lake. This is probably a rumor made by the Eighth Route Army. It's too exaggerated. If the Eighth Route Army really has such ability, it wouldn't be hiding in the Taihang Mountains now."

It’s not that Qiu Ze underestimates the White Tiger Column, but that the consensus of many military generals at present is the same.

What is the Eighth Route Army?

It's nothing more than a group of poor mud legs.

If you have weapons without weapons, you have no logistics. The way of combat can only fight sneak attacks and guerrillas. If you really fight defensive wars and positional wars with the Japanese army, they will definitely not be able to do it.

"The Eighth Route Army's combat training and weapons and equipment are far inferior to our country's army. We are not the opponents of the Japanese. How could their Eighth Route Army be the opponents of the Japanese?"

In fact, the most important thing that makes Qiu Ze and others look down on the White Tiger Column is the number.

In the formal organization of the National Revolutionary Army, the Eighth Route Army had only three divisions and six regiments. The White Tiger Column led by Ouyang did not exist in the combat sequence of the National Revolutionary Army. It was just a combat organization established by the Eighth Route Army. If you pass, it would be that it was not recognized by the Supreme Military Committee of the National Government.

During the Republic of China period, it was still an era that paid great attention to origin.

How strong can an Eighth Route Army White Tiger Column, which has no formal organization and is composed of only mud legs, be able to have a combat effectiveness?

"After all, it's just a bunch of mobs!" Qiu Ze shook his head and smiled bitterly. These words were hidden deep in his heart and never came out. After all, if the White Tiger Column had not arrived in time, Wuchang City might have been lost.

No matter how you look down on me, Qiu Ze still takes this little face into consideration.

At present, Tang Zhibang, the leader of the 351st Regiment, and Zhang Qiubai, the leader of the 352nd Regiment, wanted to bid farewell to Hu Sanmin and Qiu Ze, and turn back to Hankou and Hanyang.

"Everyone, then we will say goodbye. Wuchang City will ask everyone!"

As for Ouyang and others of the White Tiger Column, Tang Zhibang and Zhang Qiubai, they didn't even look at Ouyang and others, and they sneered in their hearts.

The White Tiger Column was once again ignored by everyone!

"Please wait!"

Suddenly, Ouyang spoke out and stopped Tang Zhibang and Zhang Qiubai from leaving.

Ouyang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, if you really leave like this, this is the plot of the Japanese devils!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the command post was immediately in an uproar.

"hehe!"

Tang Zhibang, the leader of the 451st Regiment, said coldly: "The Japanese army wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain and fight against the west. This is yours. We will return to Hankou and Hanyang immediately. Why do you want to stop us? It's not your Eighth Route Army, but now you are in a turmoil with the Japanese? "

For a moment, the national army and the White Tiger Column all looked at Ouyang.

A trick?

The Japanese want to play the world and attack the world. Shouldn’t we go back to help immediately?

"I see!"

Suddenly, Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao suddenly realized his mind, looked ashamed, and bowed to Ouyang and said, "Commander, I, Wang Yaqiao, are really stupid. My words almost ruined the big deal!"

"Um!"

Ouyang shook his head and immediately said to everyone, "Everyone, the Japanese army attacking us is the 106th Division commanded by Junroro Matsuura. It is just a special division of the Japanese. Its troops, firepower and combat effectiveness are far inferior to the permanent division of the Japanese army. It is absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to hand over the task of attacking the rear of Wuhan to them!"

"And, judging from the strength of the Japanese artillery strike and the speed of the siege, the Japanese army obviously did not make sufficient preparations."

"Combining the above two points, I concluded that the 106th Japanese Division was definitely not prepared, but broke here by accident!"

In an instant, Deputy Commander Liu Tongluo, Hu Sanmin, and Qiu Ze, the leader of the 450th Regiment, suddenly realized.

Qiu Ze said excitedly: "Commander Ou, what you said is reasonable. Since the Japanese did not come prepared, they accidentally hit our Wuhan. The three towns in Wuhan, Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang, happened to be divided by the Yangtze River, and it appeared in a 'y' shape. If the Japanese army wanted to attack Hankou and Hanyang from the east to attack Hankou and Hanyang, they would definitely cross the river."

"But you have to prepare a ship when crossing the river. However, the Japanese army rushed over and would not have the conditions to cross the river. Therefore, the Japanese army deliberately sang such a play, making us think that they were trying to attack the east and the west, but in fact they were just playing the strategy of a combination of virtual and real, and a combination of strange and righteousness."

After the conversation was over, the group leader Qiu Ze looked at Ouyang and others again, which became completely different from before.

All the disdain in your eyes is gone, and only praise and gratitude are all!

At this moment, Ouyang replied affirmatively: "Yes, that's it. The reason why the Japanese army did not concentrate their troops in a short period of time and took down Wuchang City."

"It's not that they deliberately wanted to play the trick of fighting the east and west, but that their team was too wide and stretched too long, and their attack power was not maximized. Only when they had to do so would they use a combination of Qizheng. Once the Japanese army gathered and welcoming Wuchang City would be a thunder strike!"
