Chapter 649 If we don't take Taiyuan City, our situation will be even more difficult. Now we ha
Zhao Gang tried his best to persuade Lin Zhenhua, but he still couldn't completely dispel Lin Zhenhua's idea of taking over Taiyuan City. Kong Jie, who had rarely spoken, immediately opened fire and said, "College student, I am a conservative person. To be honest, the situation we have today has greatly exceeded my expectations."
"A year ago, I would never have dreamed that we could seize three counties from the devils. This was nothing short of a fantasy to us. But college students helped us do all this. Logically, we should not stand up and oppose it, but there are some things I must say, that is, the college students' action was too risky. If it succeeds, the gains will indeed be great, but with our current strength, even if we succeed by chance, we will not be able to withstand the devil's counterattack."
"The Japanese North China Army is not a pushover, and the Central China Army is even less so. Once we take Taiyuan City, the two Japanese armies will definitely work together to find ways to wipe us out. Once the Japanese use the power of the two armies to deal with us, we will not be able to withstand it with our current strength. By then, Taiyuan City will fall into the hands of the Japanese again, and our situation will become extremely bad."
"Once we are targeted by the Japanese, even if we can withdraw to the base, we will probably lose most of our troops. In order to eliminate this threat, the Japanese will definitely not be as half-hearted as before, and will definitely use all the forces they can to deal with us. By then, we will be stuck in a stalemate with the Japanese, and it will be very difficult for the base to develop."
"What I said is very likely to happen in the future and is also very likely to become a reality. I hope college students can be more cautious and try not to gamble. We can definitely take over a few more counties, increase the buffer zone with the Japanese 12th Army, use rotation warfare to train new recruits to consume the Japanese's manpower, and at the same time find ways to improve the production capacity of our arsenal and expand our troops. After our forces have expanded to a certain extent, we will launch a large-scale counterattack and take down Taiyuan City!"
After careful consideration, military strategist Ding Wei stepped forward and said, "College student, I know you want to take advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese are weakened by the plague to devour the Japanese 12th Army. Now is indeed a golden opportunity, but the key problem is that we don't have enough troops. If we can't solve this dilemma, no matter how much we say, it will be in vain!"
"There will definitely be opportunities in the future, but we don't have the strength to defeat the Japanese 12th Army right now. I believe college students have experienced the previous street fighting. The 1:1.5 casualty ratio sounds a bit unbelievable, but it is true. The Japanese only need to fight street fighting with us in the counties around Taiyuan City to consume half of our troops. The continuous battles will make the army lose its fighting spirit. When the real decisive battle comes, it will be even more difficult for us to win against the Japanese army that is waiting for us."
"Not to mention that the Japanese air force is not a pushover. They have not been deployed until now. In addition to the pilots being infected with the plague, the most important reason is that the Japanese are waiting for a perfect opportunity to counterattack. Don't think that I am overestimating the Japanese. What I said is actually the truth. The Japanese commanders are not fools. It is impossible for them not to see the current crisis, otherwise they would not ask for help from the North China Front Army!"
"Li Yunlong was the more radical in the past, but this time it's you, the college student, who is too radical. I hope you can think about it carefully and make a decision after you understand the pros and cons!"
Chu Yunfei knew he couldn't remain silent after hearing this, so he said with a serious face, "College student, the four of them have been trying to persuade you for a full hour and a half, and I don't really have anything to say. This is indeed a good opportunity to take over Taiyuan City, but the key problem is that we can't hold it. Even if we hand Taiyuan City over to our Jinsui Army, we can't hold it with our current strength."
"I'm not underestimating our strength, but the Japanese are indeed stronger than us. This is an indisputable fact. Whether we are willing to admit it or not, we have to accept this fact."
"Just because the Japanese suffered a loss in firepower before doesn't mean they are fools. It won't be long before they figure out a tactic to deal with us. According to my estimation, they will increase the number of night attacks and use night attacks to narrow the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides."
"Originally, this is the tactic we use to deal with the Japanese. It often achieves very good results, but the losses are too great. It is the only tactic we can use. Once the Japanese use the same tactic against us, even if we are good at night attacks, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not fall into the trap of the Japanese!"
"I suggest that college students should think carefully. If you want to drive the Japanese out, you really can't be too hasty. My suggestion is to wait for half a year. After all, we have conquered so much territory that we need to digest and absorb it. After fully transforming it into our own strength, we can eat away at the Japanese-occupied areas bit by bit. When the situation changes from the enemy being strong to us being weak, it will be the best time for us to launch a counterattack!"
Lin Zhenhua really didn't expect to arouse unanimous opposition from everyone, which made him feel a little nervous. He once again carefully reviewed his previous plan. After feeling that there was no big problem, he said passionately: "Everyone, the strength of the Japanese 12th Army is the weakest at the moment. If we can't knock it down at this time, I'm afraid it will take huge casualties to wipe it out in the future!"
"The reason why I am in a hurry to take Taiyuan City is because the Japanese have not yet adapted to our tactics. Once the Japanese adapt to our tactics and figure out a way to crack them, it will be very difficult for us to counterattack. We need to take down one county after another, which is very time-consuming and will easily attract interference from the Japanese Central and North China Fronts. At that time, it will be even more difficult to succeed."
"We should take the enemy by surprise and seize the core area as soon as possible, then find a way to hold it and digest the existing territory bit by bit. After our strength expands to a certain extent, we will seek to take over the entire Jin Province. Otherwise, not only will we lose the three counties in our hands, but the development of our base will also be greatly restricted!"
