"Defeated?"

"Defeated."

"One hundred thousand people are gone?"

"Yes, one hundred thousand people are gone."

When Li Yunlong heard the news, he couldn't believe it. In early April, he was still thinking about watching the Central Army jokes.

The Japanese gave the Central Army more trouble, so they probably didn't have time to cause trouble for them.

But unexpectedly, when I heard the news of the Japanese taking action in early May, the 180,000 Central Army entrenched in Nakajo Mountain in early June fell into failure.

Things are unpredictable!

Li Yunlong couldn't help asking: "What did you think of the Central Army? There were 180,000 people, and even a wave was not floating out.

There were less than 700 Japanese killed, and the two thousand and three injured were no more than 3,000.

It's not even comparable to the Huangya Cave that our group fought.

I gave me 180,000 people, and I even captured Taiyuan. The waste, all the waste is a bunch of waste."

After a month, the Zhongtiao Mountain Battle ended.

According to Japanese statistics, about 20,000 Chinese troops were captured by the "Manchukuo" army, about 15,000 were captured by the Japanese troops, and 42,000 bodies were abandoned.

The total casualties exceeded 100,000.

The Japanese army suffered losses of 673 deaths and 2,292 injuries.

In the materials released by the Chongqing government, "In the comprehensive battle, 9,900 enemy officers and soldiers were killed and injured", and the Central Army "had a total of 13,751 missing officers and soldiers were killed and killed, poisoned, and there were 13,751 missing officers and soldiers."

The Chongqing government’s report was obviously unreliable. It said that more than 10,000 people died, and the remaining 90,000 people disappeared, could it be a ghost soldier?

It's fooling around!

In fact, three thousand vs one hundred thousand, one to thirty-three casualties.

Even if the Japanese army lied and concealed half of the casualties, it was only 17.

Li Yunlong was so sorry that the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army would not be able to deal with each other, that was also the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces, and they could see that they were gone.

The feeling of sadness of the sudden death of the rabbit and the death of the fox.

Yuan Lang closed the Japanese newspaper in his hand, but did not take Li Yunlong's stubbornness and said to himself: "To sum up this battle, the Central Army suffered three defeats and the Japanese Army had three victory."

Let’s talk about the factors that will inevitably be defeated by the Central Army.

First, change troops and generals in the last battle.

The experienced Wei Lihuang was replaced, while the incompetent He Yingqin was replaced.

The most experienced Fourth Army also retreated, which laid the groundwork for the failure of this battle.

Second, military discipline is scattered and neglected to prevent.

The newly transferred Fifth Army was not like an army. The officers who had a large amount of supplies turned the barracks into markets.

Vendors can freely enter the military barracks and defense zones, and I have heard of them hundreds of miles away.

The Japanese sent a large number of spies to ignite the arsenal and cut off the telephone line within one hour of the war, causing chaos.

After the Central Army started the war, it became deaf and blind, and they all fought for themselves.

The third is improper command.

He Yingqin was a good man in his bad work, and he formed a 180,000 army into a long snake formation.

The Japanese attacked three ways from left, center and right, completely cutting them, and couldn't take care of each other's head and tail.

The Central Army was defeated, but they were defeated without any wickedness.”

Yuan Lang gritted his teeth and he clamped the newspaper into a ball.

The 100,000 army was ruined, and those high-ranking figures accounted for 90% of the responsibility.

It is a malfeasance, a crime!

But in fact, those big guys patted their butts back to Chongqing and changed their positions to continue working.

Half of the 100,000 soldiers who paid for their dereliction of duty have closed their eyes forever, and the other half has endured the torture and abuse of the Japanese army in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.

Li Yunlong also felt that it was just that. The Central Army had violated so many taboos, so how could it be invincible?

Failure is the most normal thing.

With three wins and three losses, his curiosity was also aroused: "Then tell me, what is the reason for the Japanese victory?"

Yuan Langping regained his mood, recalled the contents in the newspaper, and concluded:

First of all, you must admit that the Japanese army was prepared, gathering six divisions and 100,000 troops. There are also extremely advantageous flight aviation and airborne troops.

With the Central Army's weapons and equipment combat capabilities, if you want to compete with it, it would be an exaggeration to prepare an army of 300,000, right?"

Li Yunlong nodded slightly to agree. He never underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was verified by countless anti-Japanese armed forces under their guns and cannons.

The New Second Regiment can defeat the Japanese army many times because they are stronger, not because the Japanese army has become weaker.

The Central Army has the advantage of geographical advantage. If it is handled properly, 250,000 people will probably be able to defend it.

With 180,000 people and 100,000 Japanese troops, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of combat effectiveness.

"Secondly, the Japanese army made careful arrangements for this battle, whether it was the battle outside Zhongtiao Mountain in March, targeted mountain training, or even the dispatch of a large number of spies at the beginning of the war.

All of them show that the Japanese army was well prepared.”

Yuan Lang asked Li Yunlong: "One is prepared, but the other is not prepared much. Tell me, does the Central Army make the truth that it is undefeated?"

Li Yunlong shook his head, "The Japanese are like the side that attacked the enemy. They took the lead and the Central Army was not fully prepared, so they would definitely lose."

This is not the hindsight of the two of them, mainly because of information asymmetry.

The Japanese did a good job of keeping confidentiality, and it was exposed later. A discerning person could tell at a glance who would win and who would lose.

If the Central Army had known it earlier, it might have been defeated, but it might have been defeated so badly.

"What about one more?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Also, the Central Army doesn't know how powerful the Japanese army is."

Yuan Lang said seriously: "Wei Lihuang in front led his army to block the thirteen attacks of the Japanese army. He only blocked them and did not lose land.

But the senior leaders of the Central Army believed that they could indeed defeat the Japanese army. They regarded this fourteenth time as a thunder and a little rain.

The previous thirteen failures became the best cover for the Japanese army.

Therefore, the Central Army, which underestimated the enemy, suffered a great loss when it encountered the Japanese army that had attacked with all its might.

This is the price of underestimating the enemy.”

Li Yunlong blinked, and this sentence sounded wrong.

It is reasonable and well-founded, and three wins and three losses are very valid. But when he listens, he seems to have something in his words, and he is talking about him!

"You don't think I have 180,000 people, and I will really fight Taiyuan, right?"

"Then I can't guarantee it." Yuan Lang was indeed worried whether Li Yunlong would be lost because of the victory.

Give Lao Li 200,000 people, he dares to fight Taiyuan.

Given one million people to Lao Li, wouldn’t he have to fight to Tokyo?

Li Yunlong was surprised to see that he believed it, "I just said it so casually, and my mind was not terrible, so why are you going to beat Taiyuan?

If there are really 180,000 people, it would be much more cost-effective to spread out and occupy more county towns and develop more bases than to fight Taiyuan."

Oh my God, Li Yunlong really dares to think about it!

I only have two thousand people in my hand, so I dare to think about the 180,000 army.

Yuan Lang didn't know how to tell him clearly: You, Li Yunlong, have been the highest commander in your life, and can command 30,000 people.

If you command 180,000 people, then you are dreaming.

Say something realistic.

The 180,000 Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain is gone. The three divisions that were originally used to restrain them are now free.

In addition, the two divisions transferred from central China have a total of five divisions.

Where will you invest next?

There is no doubt that they will definitely fall on the Eighth Route Army, and their days will definitely become sad next.

Li Yunlong thought about it and became even more angry. He slapped the table hard: "This group of waste Central Army."

Five divisions and ninety thousand mobile troops. For the Eighth Route Army, it was not worse than injury, but hail was floating on the snow.

The person who was slapped in the face was about to hit him to death.

...

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was also discussing the failure of the Battle of Tiaoshan.
