    At this time, Chairman Chiang said in a deep voice: "Li Guoyao has also expressed his position on this matter. If there are no reinforcements, the 61st Army can defend for three days. If the entire army is wiped out, it can defend for five days."

    "Five days is almost enough. If we can really hold the front line of Mengcheng for five days, even if we can't wipe out all the Dofeiyuan division, we will have eliminated its main force. By then, even if the little Japs on the southern front break through Li Guoyao's troops  Even if we try to stop him, there is nothing we can do to save him." Xue Yue said in a deep voice.

    However, at this time, Chairman Chiang said: "Although Li Guoyao is confident that he will fight to the death to hold Mengcheng for five days, their ammunition can only last for two days at most, and their troops also suffered heavy losses. Yesterday, they used a regiment to defeat a small number of people.  The Japanese have a cavalry regiment, so I'm afraid these five days"

    Chairman Chiang did not say the rest, but everyone could see that the Chairman had no idea!

    It is understandable if you think about it. The 61st Army has been fighting during this period. It can be seen from the military reports circulated by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs that this motley army started from the Northeast Army can be said to be the most active on the entire anti-Japanese battlefield.  The team is also the team with the most brilliant record so far.

    Although the record is brilliant, the losses of the troops are also obvious to all. It can be said that after such a long bloody battle, the real elite of the 61st Army have already been wiped out.

    "In addition, this unit has been fighting the Japanese army so far, bleeding and sacrificing every moment. If they really have to hold on to that shabby place in Mengcheng for five days, I am afraid no one will believe that they can do it.

    At this time, Deputy Commander Bai immediately said: "Since Commander Li said that there is insufficient ammunition, we will immediately find a way to mobilize weapons and ammunition for them. If he said that the soldiers have suffered heavy losses, then we will replenish them and even mobilize reinforcements. We cannot  You let the horse run but don¡¯t let it eat grass, right?¡±

    Hearing that Vice President Bai actually spoke to Li Guoyao's department, everyone was stunned. They had never heard that Li Guoyao and Vice President Bai had a relationship. Why did Vice President Bai mention Li Guoyao at this time?

    You must know that this is not as simple as saying a few words casually. In such an important meeting, these words of Vice President Bai may mean millions of rounds of ammunition and thousands of reinforcements. This is saving lives!

    "Well, Deputy Chief Bai is right. We can't let people work for us without giving any support. Weapons, equipment and ammunition can be transported through the troops in Fuyang and other places, but the reinforcements don't know which troops to send there!  "Chairman Chiang said in a deep voice.

    Although others don¡¯t know why Bai Chongxi helped Li Guoyao¡¯s subordinates, he, Jiang, knows it very well because the Gui army owes Li Guoyao a favor.

    During this period of time, Chiang Kai-shek had been ordering people to keep an eye on Li Guoyao's troops, so he was very aware of the relationship between Li Guoyao's troops and the Gui army. During the first defense battle of Bengbu, if it had not been for the reinforcements from Li Guoyao's troops, the Gui army's Liu Shiyi  The whole thing might have been eaten by the little devil.

    Later, it was Li Guoyao's command that took over the defense area from Liu Shiyi's command and became the main force in the Second Battle of Bengbu.  You must know that based on the situation of Liu Shiyi's command at that time, it was absolutely unable to withstand the joint siege of the Japanese 13th Division and the 9th Division. It can be said that Li Guoyao's Gui Army held the top of the tank.

    The whole Gui army was very grateful for this. It is said that when Liu Shiyi's troops evacuated Bengbu, Liu Shiyi directly gave his house in Bengbu to Li Guoyao.

    In addition, this time it was also because Li Guoyao resolutely went north to reinforce Mengcheng, even ignoring the dissuasion of the commander of the Third War Zone, thus saving the troops of the 173rd Division and defending Mengcheng.

    ??Indirectly, this also protected the retreat for the Fifth War Zone, which was equivalent to saving Li Delin. This was not a small favor.

    "It is said that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. This is a life-saving grace. As a leader of the Guangxi clan, it is normal for Bai Chongxi to say a few words for Li Guoyao's subordinates at the meeting.

    "Commissioner, the one closest to Mengcheng is the 170th Division of the Huaibei Corps led by Liao Lei, followed by the first part of the 124th Division that was withdrawn from Xuzhou, but"

    Seeing that the Chief of Staff of the First War Zone was a little hesitant in speaking, Chairman Jiang frowned and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Now for the overall situation of the War of Resistance, there is nothing that cannot be said!"

    "Yes, commission! But according to the news we got, the 170th Division had just fought with the main force of the Japanese 13th Division on the Huaiyuan front line. The division suffered heavy losses. There were only less than 3,000 men left in the division, and it was already severely damaged.  .¡±

    Then Chief of Staff Shi continued: "The 124th Division itself is not strong in combat effectiveness. It suffered heavy losses in the previous defense battle of Tengxian County and has never recovered. This time it was withdrawn all the way from Xuzhou. It is said that it was attacked when withdrawing from Xiaoxian County.  When the Japanese bombed, the headquarters was destroyed, and now it's just a?I'm afraid it won't be of much use to send scattered troops there!  "

    Vice Commander Bai suddenly asked: "Where are those Sichuan troops currently?"

    "Woyang, Wangshi Town!"

    "how many people?"

    "About two thousand people!"

    "Two thousand people? A little less!" Vice President Bai frowned.

    "In addition to the Sichuan Army, a large number of defeated troops who had withdrawn from Xuzhou gathered near Wangshi Town, including the Luhan Division of the Yunnan Army and the 139th Division of Li Zhaoying. It is said that tens of thousands of defeated troops were gathered in a small Wangshi Town!"

    At this time, Vice Commander Bai suddenly turned to Chairman Chiang and said: "Commissioner, in fact, what the 61st Army currently needs is not reinforcements, but supplementary troops, so I suggest that these defeated troops in Wangshi Town be gathered together and sent to Mengcheng  !¡±

    "Lao Jiang was also a smart man, and he immediately understood what Bai Chongxi meant.  Although reinforcements and supplementary troops are both reinforcements for Li Guoyao's troops, their meanings are absolutely different.

    Reinforcements are just here to reinforce. After the battle, they will return to rebuild. How much your 61st Army loses has nothing to do with them.

    But the supplementary troops are different. The supplementary troops are new recruits specifically for your unit. After the battle, any number of remaining soldiers will belong to your 61st Army.

    At present, Li Guoyao's troops have suffered heavy losses, and more importantly, the future of this battle is very unclear. The 61st Army may have been wiped out after the first battle, so sending reinforcements now will not eliminate the uneasiness among the 61st Army.

    But if there are a large number of supplementary troops, the effect will be different. Firstly, it will allow Li Guoyao to use these troops prudently. Secondly, it can also show the attitude of the Military Commission, thereby improving the morale of the frontline soldiers.

    Soon, Chairman Jiang made a decision in his mind and said immediately: "In that case, let's give an order and have the logistics department immediately prepare a batch of weapons, equipment and ammunition, and then transport them to the front line of Mengcheng overnight. Then he ordered Liao who was stationed in Fuyang.  Lei's command immediately sent people to Wangshi Town to collect the defeated troops. No matter how many people were finally gathered, they would all be sent to the front line of Mengcheng in the name of supplementary troops!"

    "By the way, let Liao Lei's 173rd Division and 170th Division move to the front line of Wangshi Town and be ready to reinforce the 61st Army at any time."

    "Commissioner, although this can temporarily relieve the urgent needs of the 61st Army, other units of the Sichuan Army, Qian Army, Yunnan Army and Northeast Army may have objections. After all, those people are theirs!" Cheng Qian suddenly said  .

    "If anyone has any objections, let them come directly to me. They can't even control their own troops. I wonder which of them has the nerve to raise objections! Niang Xipi!"

    Then Chairman Jiang continued: "The enemies near Lanfeng are only ten or twenty thousand at most, but I cannot defeat them with the siege of the 12th Division. Not only are the troops complex, but they blame each other, and they are in danger of being defeated. Even if they are conquered, it will not be defeated in the history of war."  It is also the laughingstock of the ages.¡±

    "Please be resolute, quickly mobilize more than six divisions to serve as reserves in the rear, and designate Li Tiejun, Li Hanhun, and Yu Jishi to be responsible for clearing out the remaining enemies in front of you. Even if you are broken through a few points and rush out of the encirclement, I can fight with you  In field battles, it is more feasible. At this time, the enemy troops on the east route will rush westward within two or three days, heading straight from Zhoukou to Xuchang and Zhengzhou, and then the rear will be at Kanyu."

    "If our army had not planned ahead, it would have been easy to annihilate such a large number of troops in a small area with the Yellow River on the left. Wuxi made a decisive decision and implemented it tonight. While organizing the front line, he also mobilized troops to prepare for emergencies. And to  This message was conveyed to Hu Zongnan and everyone was determined to follow it without any delay."

    Everyone knew that Chairman Chiang was determined to eat the soil. Although everyone was a little worried, they were more nervous and excited.

    As a general who leads troops in battle, I am afraid that no one does not want to make contributions and be a wolf!

    Now such a great opportunity is in front of us. Not to mention Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, even the battalion and company commanders on the front line have fiery eyes. If you win, it will not only be as simple as promotion and wealth, but it may also become a celebrity for the ages.  .

    For a time, all the national army generals in the combat headquarters of the First Theater District Commander were excited, and the atmosphere instantly became high!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
