"Sir Xue, please see, most of China has fallen under the iron hooves of the Japanese army."

After saying this, Yang Jing pointed the baton at the northwest region: "The northwest region is a deserted Gobi Desert, and it does not have much strategic value at present, so the Japanese army will basically not invest too much force.

Moreover, in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region, there are restraints from the Shanxi-Suizhou Army and the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party, so it can basically ensure that there is no worry."

Speaking of this, Yang Jing moved the baton to the southwest position and then said: "Next, the Japanese army will inevitably place the attack center in the southwest of our country. At present, Hunan Province, where we are located, is the gateway to the southwest of our country, and is just at the center of the vortex, so it will definitely become the first target of the attack for the Japanese army.

It can be said that as long as the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are captured in the southwest of my country, our country's demise can be declared.

We know this, and the Japanese naturally know this."

Xue Boling nodded and completely agreed with Yang Jing's analysis. However, he soon frowned again and said, "Guest Yang, your analysis is basically correct, but there is a place where I have a different view."

"oh?"

Yang Jing said: "Please tell me, Chief Xue."

Xue Boling said: "In the Shanxi battlefield, the Japanese army occupied most of Shanxi with only independent 1st Brigade and half of the division of the 5th Division.

At present, the Japanese army stationed a total of 100,000 troops in Shanxi, Hebei, Suiyuan and other places. It is only a breeze to completely occupy the entire northwest.

Moreover, the 1st Japanese Army could have completely imitated the Cao Wei period during the Three Kingdoms period and went to Hanzhong to attack Sichuan, thereby attacking the Japanese army in China from the east and west.

If the Japanese army launches full-scale attack, it will be difficult for the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army to resist it.

At that time, the situation will not be more critical?"

It is worth mentioning that the Japanese army was completely different from the national army. Take the 10th Army of the Japanese army in the early stages of the Battle of Shanghai as an example. Its jurisdiction included the 6th, 18th, and 114th three reorganized divisions, and the 9th Infantry Brigade under the 5th Division and was adapted into the Guoqi Detachment and other units.

Among them, the 6th Division is one of the 17 permanently-owned A divisions of the Japanese army, with a force of more than 30,000.

The Guoqi Detachment is even more invincible as the steel army.

The total strength of the 10th Army at that time exceeded 100,000.

Yang Jing asked without answering, "Captain Xue, why was the Japanese army invincible in the battlefields of Shanxi? It easily captured Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi?

Is it really because the combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army is not good?"

"this……"

Xue Boling was speechless for a moment.

"No! No!"

Xue Boling did not refute Yang Jing's words, because the same situation also happened during Lanfeng.

At that time, Gui, the commander of the 27th Army, fled without fighting, which resulted in the bloody battle of Taierzhuang being lost. Even the entire 5th War Zone was in danger of life and death.

Historically, in order to stop the Japanese army, President Chang ordered the explosion of the Huayuankou embankment.

In the end, although the Japanese army was temporarily delayed, millions of people in Henan Province were affected by the flooding of the Yellow River and hundreds of thousands of people were starved to death.

"At that time, less than 20,000 Japanese troops attacked Shanxi, the reason why the Jinsui Army was defeated was that Yan Laoxi did not actively resist."

"At that time, Yan Laoxi just wanted to be his king of Shanxi. He thought that as long as he resisted passively, he would turn the guns and attack North China.

And he is still the former King of Shanxi!”

General Xue Boling nodded.

Not only Yan Laoxi, many local warlords have a little bitch like this in their hearts.

On the surface, they cooperated with the anti-Japanese war, but in fact they secretly preserved their own strength.

It is precisely because of this reason that our army retreated step by step on the front battlefield and eventually lost thousands of miles of land.

There are too few warlords who can completely abandon personal gains and losses and put family and country justice first.

The Sichuan Army was as cowardly as a dog in civil war, but as fierce as a tiger in foreign war.

Why?

Because they don’t like civil wars and are unwilling to kill each other, but in the face of Dayi, Brother Pao never puts on his own!

Sichuanese never let down the country!

Xue Boling thought for a moment and said, "Don't Yan Laoxi save his strength now?"

"He will preserve his strength, but it depends on why."

"At present, if the Japanese army continues to launch a fierce attack on the northwest region, Yan Laoxi will definitely rise up and resist!

It is not that this person understands the righteousness of the country, but that once the entire northwest falls, he, the king of Shanxi, will not be able to do it.

Therefore, even for his own interests, Yan Laoxi will definitely rise up and resist!"

Xue Boling said: "Even if Yan Laoxi will rise up and resist, if the Japanese army attacks with all their might, I am afraid that with the combat effectiveness of the Shanxi Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army, they may not be able to withstand it, right?"

Yang Jing said: "Although the Japanese Army had 100,000 troops, it was absolutely impossible for the Japanese to invest all of them.

Because they also need to maintain public security and stability in large areas of North China.

Also, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has dropped by more than one level compared to 1937.

At that time, all the Japanese army were elite veterans who had been through the battlefield for a long time.

In the past year, although we lost thousands of miles of land, we destroyed hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.

According to reliable information, the Japanese army has recruited several rounds of recruits on the local area.

Although these new recruits have received systematic military training, they have not been on the real battlefield. Therefore, they are not as good as those veterans before, in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will."

"After more than a year of war, our army has accumulated enough combat experience and has a full understanding of the Japanese tactics.

As one goes up and down, the gap between our army and the Japanese army has significantly narrowed.

Therefore, if a war breaks out, it is almost impossible for the Japanese army to be as invincible as they were back then."

After pausing, Yang Jing continued: "Also, what is the biggest gap between our army and the Japanese army?"

Xue Boling said without hesitation: "The gap in weapons and equipment is in the sky, the Japanese aviation army has absolute air supremacy.

After obtaining air supremacy, they can assist the ground forces and attack us.

On the ground, the Japanese army had powerful tank clusters and artillery clusters.

Often, as soon as a battle begins, our army is killed and injured under the powerful Japanese artillery fire.

In such a situation, it is too difficult to win.”

Yang Jing said: "Yes, the biggest gap in strength between our army and the Japanese army is in addition to the combat qualities of soldiers, and is weapons and equipment!

In particular, our army lacked combat artillery, so that the Japanese tanks came and went across the battlefield, and they were almost unsolvable.

Many troops have even had a shadow on the tanks.

You are afraid before the battle, how can you fight this battle?"
