In February 1938, Jiang Jieshi published the conditions and elements of victory in the War of Resistance, saying:
The two conditions of vast land and numerous people are our greatest weapons for victory in the war of resistance.……In this war of resistance, we will use our vast territory to decide victory or defeat. We are fighting a life and death battle against the enemy with a large population…We are fighting against the enemy now, and we need to fight for time. We need to use the vast space to defend for a long time, to use the vast space to prolong the time of the war, to exhaust the enemy's strength, and to strive for the final victory.
This was the long-term war strategy known as " exchanging space for time, and winning with small victories."
On March 29, 1938, at the foot of Luojia Mountain in Wuchang, in the Song Qing Stadium of the National University, the temporary National Representative of the Chinese National Party
It was the most important meeting held by the government after the outbreak of the war. This time, it will last for four days.
One of the most important achievements of the meeting was the adoption of the "Anti-Japanese War and National Founding Program", which proposed the internal and external politics of the Kuomingtang government during the Anti-Japanese War.
Although it appears to be a simple government
They lacked the courage to truly mobilize the people of all walks of life in the country and realize the unity of the entire nation in the war of resistance.
It also expressed the determination of the National Party government to resist the war resolutely and to open up to a certain extent the determination to be democratic. At that time, it boosted morale.
It had a positive impact on the morale of the people. The Anti-Japanese War entered the period of the Anti-Japanese War in the city of Wuhan-centered on the defense of the city.
After thinking hard for several days and asking around, Jiang finally proudly threw out the idea at the military and political meeting.
His own thoughts were," The three towns of Wu Han must be guarded, but it is not easy to guard them. Suburbs of Wuhan1
There was no danger to defend the north of the city. The Urban area was cut off by the Yangtze River, and there were lakes and marshes outside the city.
It's not a place for a long battle. So how would they defend the city? I would like to ask the generals to look far ahead
Some. To the northeast, you can see Qianshan and Taihu Lake. To the north, don't miss Shuangmen Pass and Wusheng Pass. thing
In fact, the Mufu Mountains, the Dabie Mountains, and the Yangtze River around Wuhan are our best natural shields.
Barrier."
Jiang then stopped talking, drank some water, and looked at everyone's reaction. from afar
Li Zongren, Xue Yue, Zhang Fakui, and the other generals let out a long breath when they heard this. Their faces were tense.
Finally, a smile appeared on his face. This smile came from the bottom of his heart. The big meeting
Some of the generals have suffered in Shanghai due to the narrow territory and the intensive bombardment of the target
Head. Before the meeting, everyone was afraid that the "brilliant" and stubborn chairman would come again to defend the city.
plan.
The atmosphere in the venue relaxed a lot, and some people started whispering. Jiang Jieshi seemed to have been encouraged and became even more energetic. He continued,"Everyone can imagine that if our Celestial army fights with the three towns, the flames of war will inevitably affect Urban area, and the political and economic importance of Wu Han will be lost.
Being surrounded, our army is like a turtle in a jar. The lesson of Nanking is not far away. We must not forget it!
Therefore, if they wanted to fight in Wu Han, they had to fight in the distance. To sum up, it is the best policy to defend and not fight in Wuchang.”
Jiang Jieshi swept his gaze across everyone and said mysteriously,""You may not know this, but during the First World War, the situation in Europe was very similar to that of today's Wu Han.”
Then, he turned to Little Zhuge Bai Chongxi."Jiansheng, why don't you introduce them to everyone?”
Bai Chongxi, the deputy staff officer, seemed to be prepared for this. He slowly walked toward the wall chart. The staff officer on duty quickly pulled open the curtain, and a well-drawn map of eastern Germany was displayed in front of the wide-eyed generals.
"Everyone, this is a famous battle that took place in the autumn of 1914 on the Eastern Battlefield in Europe. At that time, the German forces were limited. In order to ensure the capital, Berlin, there was a plan to retreat to the Wexsel River. But after General Hindeburg took over the command, not only did he not
Instead of adopting such a passive tactic, he was determined to take advantage of the weakness of the Russian 1st and 2nd Front Armies being separated by the lake and turn from defense to offense. At that time, although many people expressed doubts about this, the unprecedented annihilation of Tannenburg (the name of a small village where the German army defeated the Russian army) proved that Hindeburg was right. After that, the Russian and German armies fought more than 100 battles, and the German army was always in an advantageous position in the eastern battlefield. With the worries of the two battlefields removed, Berlin was naturally safe.”
Putting down the pointer, Bai Chongxi walked back to the table and said,"Today's Hubei is indeed too similar to Berlin. The Yangtze River and the Dabie Mountains divided the Japanese into two or even three roads, which provided our army with a good opportunity to attack separately. As long as our army can fully display its combat effectiveness, the Tannenburg of the past will appear in today's Wu Han.”
