Chapter 507: Standoff Situation

Hearing this, Yu Hua sat in his chair and looked toward Sun Zhen: "Commander-in-Chief, what materials have you collected regarding the Nanyue Hengshan Conference so far?"

"On my desk!" Sun Zhen pointed to his own desk: "Go take a look and see if you can sort out some clues from them."

"So that our Sichuan Army troops won't be set up and harmed by Principal Chang at the Nanyue Hengshan Conference."

Yu Hua nodded, then walked over to Sun Zhen's desk and read through all the materials!

Sun Zhen and Wang Mingzhang discussed in low voices on the side some of the difficulties the Group Army was currently facing.

After a while, Yu Hua finished reading the materials inside and came to Sun Zhen's side.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun, I feel that Principal Chang will strengthen his control over the Southwest region during this Nanyue Hengshan Conference."

"The combat zones are roughly as follows: the Pingjin Region, with the line of Baotou, Datong, Yuncheng, Bo'ai, Kaifeng, Huaiyang, and Boxian as the battle zone."

"Our War of Resistance has also entered a stalemate phase!"

The two felt it was quite good and approved it; at the same time, they also sent a telegram to Deng Xihou to explain.

"Officer Yu, I have clarified that the railway tracks ahead have been blown up, and furthermore, a special train has been ambushed."

"Or rather, has the Wuhan Battle truly entered a stalemate phase, just as Runzhi Xiansheng in Yanan said?"

Wang Mingzhang was on the side: "Brother Yu, after the Wuhan Battle ends, what will be the Japanese Army's next move?"

At this moment, Wei Dayong came to Yu Hua's side: "Report!"

"Only when one side possesses absolute strength will this standoff be thoroughly broken."

Sun Zhen looked at the map, and combined with the ideas in his mind, what this kid Yu Hua said really might become reality.

"Correct!" Yu Hua nodded: "After the Wuhan Battle, the Japanese Army has already lost the capability for large-scale offensives."

Analyzing up to this point, Yu Hua came before the map and picked up the command stick.

After panting for a few breaths, Yu Hua felt that he probably hadn't injured any bones and estimated he would be fine after resting for a few days.

After hearing Yu Hua's words, Sun Zhen nodded: "We are holding tight to military and financial power in the Sichuan Army now."

However, the Military Affairs Commission at Nanyue Hengshan is urging urgently, and not a single general from the Sichuan Army Group Army has arrived; is the Sichuan Army up to something again?!

Therefore, Yu Hua and Sun Zhen were the first to rush to Nanyue Hengshan!

The two of them took a Guard Battalion on this trip to Nanyue Hengshan, first riding horses to the county seat, then taking a special train from the county seat to Nanyue Hengshan.

Yu Hua's foot was injured; he moved it around, and it was extremely painful.

Deng Xihou was going to attend the military conference at Nanyue Hengshan; after Liu Wenhui and Pan Wenhua of Sichuan Province saw this draft.

Immediately, Yu Hua began to analyze the current situation for everyone.

Wei Dayong had two Box Cannons hanging at his waist, and while eating an apple, he looked at the scenery outside through the window in front of him.

Wei Dayong hurriedly opened the sleeper car door: "Officer Yu, how are you?"

And in the Southwest region, due to inconvenient transportation and many high mountains and steep ridges, it caused great difficulties in transporting supplies and troops to the front-line soldiers.

Wang Mingzhang was also greatly inspired at this moment.

It is very difficult for the Republic of China Government to accumulate strength to counterattack the Japanese Army because industrial capacity is insufficient, making it impossible to guarantee the materials needed for a counterattack.

The situation where the Japanese Army mobilizes hundreds of thousands of troops is likely difficult to see again.

"In Central China and East China, the line of Hefei, Huangmei, Xinyang, Yueyang, Ningwu, Wuhu, and Hangzhou is the combat zone."

They harass the Japanese Army's ammunition depots, granaries, armories, etc., behind enemy lines, constantly causing trouble for the Japanese Army.

A piercing sound suddenly rang out in the night sky.

"Let's go... we're going to the operations room!" Yu Hua gave an order and walked forward limping.

"Hiss, hiss..."

As Yu Hua's Guard, Wei Dayong remained steadfastly at the door of the sleeper car.

After arriving at the county seat, the Sichuan Army stationed there had already prepared a special train for Sun Zhen.

First, the Japanese Army achieved a tactical victory in the Wuhan Battle, while the Chinese side achieved a strategic victory.

"Currently, we are in the midst of an engagement, and Battalion Commander Sun of the Guard Battalion has already led a company to investigate."

In the vast countryside, the Japanese Army's troop strength is limited and they are fundamentally unable to control it; even in the occupied areas, the Japanese Army only controls points and lines, unable to control an entire area.

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army have gradually grown up over this year or so.

Suddenly, the train let out a violent screech of brakes!

"Screech, screech, screech!! —"

They reported the resulting draft to the nd Route Army Command.

Wei Dayong stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, he had martial arts skills, and after a few mid-air flips, he successfully steadied himself.

The Japanese Army has occupied a large portion of the Republic of China's territory, but in these territories, the Japanese Army can only garrison in large cities.

"The methods of the Nanjing Command are nothing more than dividing, disintegrating, weakening power, and then annexing!"

After boarding the special train, Yu Hua felt a bit sleepy, so he slept in his clothes.

"Especially in the current Sichuan Province and Xikang Province, the common people support us very much."

The huge inertia caused Yu Hua to fall directly off the bunk.

"As long as we firmly grasp military and financial power, Principal Chang and the others won't dare to have a falling out with the Sichuan Army."

"Go ask why the train stopped suddenly."

"The Camp Headquarters and Special Service Corps established by Principal Chang now have significantly decreased appeal in Sichuan Province and Xikang Province."

Just like that, after the train had traveled for a period of time.

"Future engagements will fluctuate roughly along these two lines and will not see major changes."

Furthermore, in terms of transportation, the Japanese Army controls 84 percent of the Republic of China's main railway lines.

Each war zone is almost fighting on its own, unable to coordinate operations well!

Therefore, while the Republic of China Army on the front lines can still defend, a strategic counterattack is clearly not feasible.

Forcing the Japanese Army to divide its attention and mobilize troops to deal with these incidents, such as the battles of Songhu, Jinling, Xuzhou, and Wuhan.

Walking up quickly, Wei Dayong helped Yu Hua up.

The railway is the economic lifeline of a country; these main traffic arteries are controlled by the Japanese Army, and the occupied areas are divided into strips and blocks, allowing the Japanese Army to use the traffic arteries to strengthen their control over the occupied areas.

Originally, Yu Hua and Sun Zhen were prepared to wait for Deng Xihou to arrive so they could go to Hengshan together.

"Did you injure any vital parts!"

"Commander-in-Chief!" Looking at Sun Zhen, Yu Hua said sonorously: "In my view, next, we will engage in a long-term standoff with the Japanese Army."

However, Yu Hua inside the sleeper berth was not so lucky.

Because most of the industry of the Republic of China was concentrated in the Coastal Region, now that these provinces have fallen, the industry of the Republic of China has been almost destroyed by the Japanese Army.

"Yes!" Wei Dayong stood at attention.

"The Japanese Army and our army will form a standoff situation along the battle line!"

"Damn it..." This fall made Yu Hua hurt quite a lot.

Afterwards, Yu Hua and Sun Zhen discussed some policies regarding how the Sichuan Army should face the enemy next.

Seeing this, Wei Dayong hurried forward to support him: "Officer Yu, let me help you walk!"

"No need!" Yu Hua waved his hand: "I can manage; if you help me over, wouldn't that make Commander-in-Chief Sun laugh at me!"
