    Although Jiang Baili did not lead many troops in several major battles in his life, he had a profound influence on Chiang Kai-shek. Especially in the years when the relationship between China and Japan became increasingly tense, many of Chiang Kai-shek's strategies against Japan were developed through  His guidance.

    Listening to Li Guoyao's words, Lao Jiang couldn't help but think of those meaningful words Mr. Baili said on Lushan Mountain last year. The inner meaning made him shudder every time he thought of it!

    "In the war against Japan, no matter how far we go, it doesn't matter if we lose everything. The ultimate trump card is not to compromise with Japan. Only a long-term war of resistance can defeat Japan. In a word, win or lose, just don't fight with them.  Make peace!"

    "If poor relatives fail to live up to their expectations, they will always be looked down upon by others. Interactions between people are snobbish, so why not be the same in interactions between countries?"

    "It is better to seek help from others than to seek yourself. Everyone else has a way out, but you have no way out. If you don't resist, the only way out for you is to become a prisoner!"

    For some reason, every time he heard the word "prisoner", Lao Jiang suddenly thought of Qinhui Erzong, the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.  When he thought of the fate of the two unlucky emperors Song Qinzong and Song Huizong in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Chiang Kai-shek became horrified.

    Chiang Kai-shek has thought countless times that he is the leader of a great country, the supreme commander of an army of millions, and a supreme and special person. How can he be a prisoner?

    Based on this idea, after the all-out war between China and Japan, Chiang Kai-shek was determined. Even if he spent all his capital, he would continue to fight unswervingly. Either the fish would die or the net would be broken.

    Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek once studied in Japan, and he himself had some understanding of the Japanese character. In Chiang Kai-shek's opinion, the Japanese are a nation that has breasts and is a mother. If you are strong, I will learn from you, and if you are weak, I will beat you.  .

    Among the Japanese, trustworthiness and integrity are just words that are said in words. They have no binding force at all and cannot be trusted.

    "Seriously, if our army withdraws from Wuhan, where should we withdraw, and how should we fight next?" Lao Jiang asked in a deep voice.

    Li Guoyao was not polite and said immediately: "Commissioner, the war against Japan is a long-term military confrontation, not a decisive victory overnight, so we must be mentally prepared for a protracted war. Once our army abandons Wuhan City, the troops must do a good job  It is the defense of Yueyang, Changsha, Nanchang and other places."

    "You mean that once the Japanese army captures Wuhan, they will attack Changsha, Nanchang and other places?"

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Although the Japanese army is about to approach the city in the Battle of Wuhan, it cannot conceal the fact that it suffered heavy losses. In this battle, the Japanese 106th Division, the Botian Detachment, and the Marine Corps were completely wiped out. Fujinshan  More than half of the 13th Division suffered casualties in World War I. In addition, the 27th Division, 6th Division, 16th Division, 10th Division and other units all suffered heavy casualties. It is estimated that the Japanese casualties will be at least 100,000."

    "Look at how many troops the Japanese army has in total across the country. Even though it has carried out nationwide mobilization, the total strength is only about 800,000, of which at most 600,000 are on the battlefield in China's customs, and the ones used to attack Wuhan are  There are only about 350,000 people, and one hundred thousand casualties at once, which is equivalent to losing almost one-third of the troops. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese will not launch another attack on Wuhan for a long time to come.  It¡¯s such a large-scale strategic decisive battle!¡±

    "Therefore, after we withdraw our troops from Wuhan, we only need to deploy defenses along the mountainous areas of western Hubei. Especially Yueyang and other places at the junction of Hunan and Hubei are the focus of defense. As long as we defend here, the Japs will definitely not continue to attack westward."

    Li Guoyao then continued: "As for how to take a humble position next, I have some ideas of my own, but the committee may not think it is feasible!"

    "Tell me what you think!" Lao Jiang said.

    "I feel that the decisive battle between the main forces of China and Japan has basically come to an end"

    Before he finished speaking, Lao Jiang frowned and asked: "What do you mean it's over? Do you mean the little Japs won't continue to attack?"

    "That's not what I mean. Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, from the North China battlefield to the Central China battlefield and now to the South China battlefield, the Japanese army has been in an absolute offensive posture, while we are in a comprehensive passive defense posture. But now the Japanese army's frontline  It has been infinitely close to the Sanyang Line mentioned by Mr. Baili, and its military strength has been stretched to the maximum, so at this time the Japanese army no longer has enough strength to continue advancing westward."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "On the contrary, after the party-state lost almost one-third of its territory, its living space was greatly squeezed, and its military strength was relatively concentrated. This is like a spring. After experiencing the squeeze of gravity,  , it¡¯s time to rebound, Therefore, I believe that the next war will change from a full-scale attack by the Japanese army to a strategic stalemate between China and Japan!  "

    "Strategic stalemate?"

    "Yes, at this time we can't be beaten passively like before, we have to fight back!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Fight back? This is easier said than done. We can't even defend the city of Wuhan, how can we fight back?" Old Jiang said.

    "The fight back is not to let us compete with the Japs for a city and a land, but to open up a second battlefield and not give the Japs time to digest the territory!"

    "What is opening up a second battlefield?"

    "Commissioner, Mr. Baili believes that in the early days of the Sino-Japanese War, our army and Japan fought positional warfare, attrition warfare, and general warfare, and both personnel and materials would suffer.

    huge loss.  After the great retreat, China urgently needed to change its past erroneous one-sided tactics and suggested using guerrilla warfare to attack the enemy.  "Li Guoyao said.

    "Guerrilla warfare? Isn't that a tactic proposed by the Red Party?"

    "No matter who proposed it, in short, as long as it is beneficial to the war of resistance, we can learn it. Guerrilla warfare has several advantages. The first is that it can disrupt the Japanese army's rear areas and prevent them from concentrating on digesting the occupied areas behind enemy lines, forcing them to mobilize  A large number of troops defend the rear occupation area, so the number of troops used by the Japanese army to attack will inevitably be greatly reduced, and its offensive power will be much weaker."

    Lao Jiang nodded and said: "Keep talking!"

    "The second is to expand our living space and vigorously mobilize the people in the occupied areas. We must not let our people become the granary and source of troops for the Japanese. We must give hope to the people in the enemy-occupied areas!"

    Then Li Guoyao said again: "The other thing is to curb the development of the Red Party!"

    "Red Party?"

    "Yes, now they have been completely defeated in the frontal battlefield, and the Japanese army has been excessively pursuing the occupation of big cities, and the battle lines have been stretched so long that there have been a large number of areas with power gaps, such as Shanxi and Hebei. And the Red Party  However, the Eighth Route Army under his leadership seized the favorable opportunity to enter these places, create anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, and use guerrilla tactics to develop in an impressive way."

    "Mother Xipi The party and the state are fighting with the Japanese army in the front, but they are taking advantage of the situation behind. How can this be unreasonable!" Lao Jiang said angrily.

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "This is not a bargain, but a tactical victory. Moreover, we are now in the second period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. We can't say anything more about this matter. After all, they are also fighting against the Japanese and the Japanese. But  We cannot allow them to continue developing like this, and the only way to contain the Eighth Route Army is for us to open up battlefields behind enemy lines and engage in guerrilla warfare."

    Li Guoyao's words were very straightforward, and Chiang Kai-shek quickly understood what he meant. Anyway, there were only so many territories behind enemy lines. Once the National Army opened up the battlefield behind enemy lines on a large scale, it would inevitably compete with the Eighth Route Army for space and territory, no matter whether it was unintentional or not.  Whether it is good or intentional, it will definitely curb the development of the Eighth Route Army.

    In fact, Chiang Kai-shek has long heard about the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army. You must know that when the Red Army was reorganized in Yan'an, there were only three divisions and more than 40,000 people, and there were only more than 20 combat units at the regiment level.

    But what about now?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There are hundreds of irregular armed forces such as independent regiments, security regiments, and county brigades alone, these things have long aroused Lao Jiang's attention and dissatisfaction.

    It¡¯s just that during this period of time, he has been busy with the Battle of Wuhan and has no time to be distracted, let alone a good way to curb the development of the Eighth Route Army.

    Hearing what Li Guoyao said today, I suddenly felt enlightened. Yes, since the Red Party can establish base areas behind enemy lines and conduct guerrilla warfare, there is no reason why the National Army cannot. This is a good strategy to kill three birds with one stone.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
