Rebirth of the National Marshal

Before the war even started, Mao Yuanshan had already written a report based on the lessons learned from the previous era and submitted it to the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing. However, the bosses at the Ministry of National Defense thought that Mao Yuanshan's hand was too loose and simply threw the report into the waste paper.

If Mao Yuanshan knew about this, he would definitely shoot the combat staff officer. He still doesn't understand the situation in this world. You are the chairman of a provincial government, and he is a staff officer of the Ministry of National Defense. You are basically two horses running on two different roads. Even if you want to make a suggestion, you have to give it to a friend of yours. Even giving it directly to the principal is much better than giving it through normal channels.

There is no need to talk about the naval operations. Just like last time, they sank the ships and locked the river. This is simply a matter of awfulness.

Last year, the president ordered all naval warships to sink at the mouth of the Yangtze River, hoping to block the Japanese navy here and avoid passing through here. But how many warships does the government have? How big is the Changjiang estuary? How can you lock this place?

Mao Yuanshan had suggested at the beginning that as long as 30 bombers were left behind, they would be able to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese navy when they arrived. According to the problems of the Japanese navy and the Japanese army, they would definitely retreat, and the navy would never fight for the nine-cent soldiers of the army.

The central government did think of doing so at the beginning, but when the war just started, they could no longer sit still, because without the help of aircraft, the ground forces would suffer even greater losses. Now with aircraft support, they have achieved a four to one casualty ratio. If there were no aircraft, a ten to one ratio would be possible. These local armies are more concerned about their own people.

So he ordered all the bombers to rush up. The result was that all the planes that had been left behind earlier were used. When the Japanese navy arrived, there was not a single bomber left here. It was for this reason that the Japanese navy would continue to bombard ground forces here unscrupulously in the future.

Mao Yuanshan had not eaten for a day and a night. He knew that this war was the largest war during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Although this war caused heavy losses, it also shattered the Japanese plan to destroy China and brought out our spirit. The loss was worth it. But if a time traveler like himself still suffered such a huge loss here, it would be his fault.

"Look at the situation now. They were actually blocked by just a few thousand people relying on solid fortifications. I really don't know what's going on in the minds of these people on the front line. What's the use of the 150mm heavy artillery in their hands? Moreover, there are so many planes, but they can't shoot down these thousands of people. What's going on? I have suggested that they should attack these fortifications with stronger defenses from the beginning. However, they used heavy artillery and planes to attack the buildings built by the Japanese devils. Those things can cause losses to the Japanese devils, but can they kill them all? Why are these people so short-sighted? At the beginning, didn't the Military Control Commission already investigate Japan's defense focus? Why are they still thinking about attacking the concessions?" The Japanese Marine Corps relied on these solid fortifications to wait for the arrival of Matsui Iwane's reinforcements.

Now the situation is almost the same as it was back then, and what's worse is that the weapons and equipment we have now are more than twice as much as they were back then. Just look at those planes and you will see. The results that can be obtained are the same as they were back then. No, it should be said that they are different. The Japanese have increased their confidence.

"Commander, the battle situation on the front line has become like this, you have done your best. They don't know these days, but I know it. You haven't slept all night and can't eat. I think you should eat something first. If something really happens to you, what will we do? Mr. Jiang Baili is on the way." Hu Lian saw Mao Yuanshan busying around here these days. He really dedicated everything for the country. In the past, Hu Lian also thought that Mao Yuanshan was the same as other local warlords, just to expand his own power, but today he knew that this man was also a man of blood and patriotism.

At the beginning of the war, Mr. Jiang Baili followed Mao Yuanshan's advice and reported to the Supreme Military Conference. Unfortunately, Mr. Jiang Baili was a low-ranking official and his words did not carry much weight. The senior officials did not want to listen to him and thought that Mr. Jiang Baili was meddling in other people's affairs. This made Mr. Jiang Baili very angry and he directly sent a telegram to Mao Yuanshan, asking him to send a plane to pick him up.

"Mr. Jiang's plane should be arriving soon! Let's send our reconnaissance plane over to take a look. There have been quite a few Japanese planes in recent times, so we must not make any mistakes. If anything goes wrong with Mr. Jiang, even hundreds of thousands of troops will be useless." Mao Yuanshan looked at the sky outside. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. According to the scheduled time, Mr. Jiang Baili would arrive at the Chahar Local Government Airport at around four o'clock.

"Report to the division commander, I have sent planes over, and they have returned with news. They are escorting Mr. Jiang Baili. I have also prepared the welcoming work at the airport." Air Force Commander Gao Zhihang could be said to be a loyal admirer of Mr. Jiang Baili. When he heard that Mr. Jiang Baili was going to serve as the Chief of Staff of the Chahar Front Army, he was so happy for several days. He did not need Mao Yuanshan to arrange this matter, but let his best pilot go. If he had not been required to attend a meeting here due to his duties, he would have flown there himself long ago.

"Have you prepared a place for Mr. Jiang to live? When Mr. Jiang comes to our Chahar, he must feel at home and not be neglected in the slightest. Besides, Mr. Jiang is old. Compared with Nanjing, our Chahar area is very cold and harsh after all." Mao Yuanshan was very concerned about Mr. Jiang Baili's food, clothing, housing and transportation. This was a big Buddha. As long as Mr. Jiang Baili was here, how could the local warlords not surrender? With his own guns and cannons, he would definitely be invincible.

"It's right next to your house. We have already arranged it. Don't worry, it's of the same standard as the one you live in." Wang Bing is now the housekeeper, so these things are basically arranged by her. Mao Yuanshan had arranged for Mr. Jiang Baili to live next to his villa from the beginning, and everything would be the same as his own.
