747 Xiao Zhuge's Investment
Li Zongren was also somewhat tempted by Xiao Zhuge's proposal.
But after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, “It’s a good idea, but it’s not suitable to be implemented for the time being.
Now, He Jingzhi and his gang of villains are staring at us.
If we send troops to Ye Qingshan now, wouldn't they be able to catch us?
Let’s talk about it slowly.”
But Xiao Zhuge had a different opinion: "Commander, as the saying goes, 'Adding flowers to a brocade is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow'.
At this moment, Ye Qingshan was short of soldiers.
If he wants to take over Guangdong Province in this battle, it will not be easy.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers from the 23rd Army entrenched in Guangzhou.
Once the Japanese 11th Army on the Xiangxi battlefield in the north really moves south.
Ye Qingshan’s real trouble had just begun.
In particular, although Ye Qingshan now has 86 elite soldiers from the th Army, they are still far away from the Yunnan-Myanmar border.
With such a long distance, it will take at least a month or two for this large army to join the battlefield.
Ye Qingshan is still fighting with the Japanese for northern Guangdong.
It is hard to say whether he can hold on until the 86 men of his th Army return.
The situation Ye Qingshan is facing now is extremely difficult.
But the more so, the more precious it is for us to support him at this moment.”
In fact, Little Zhuge had long wanted to get to know Ye Qingshan, but unfortunately he never found the opportunity.
Now, in his opinion, it is a good opportunity.
But after hearing this, Li Zongren said worriedly: "Brother Jiansheng, what you said makes some sense.
But can you be sure that Ye Qingshan can get through this?
What if Ye Qingshan loses this time.
Then wouldn't the troops we sent to support him be wasted?"
“Brother Delin, since it is an investment, there must be risks.
The higher the risk, the greater the reward.”
Little Zhuge smiled.
"What do you think Ye Qingshan's chances of winning this battle are?"
Li Zongren still couldn't make up his mind and continued to ask.
"According to normal circumstances, it is less than 30%."
"So low?"
"I said, this is the result of calculation based on normal circumstances."
"What if it's not the normal situation?"
"Fifty percent!
This is my personal opinion.
Based on my research on Ye Qingshan and his past battles.
This person must have another card in his hand, but we just don't know it yet.
Every time he seems to take risky actions, there is actually a backing behind it.
I'm not a fool.
Just like before, everyone believed that Ye Qingshan’s 86th Army could not reach the city of Yangcheng.
As a result, he mobilized the air forces of three countries far away in Myanmar, across 2,000 kilometers, and wiped out hundreds of fighter planes of the Japanese flying regiment in Guangzhou in one fell swoop.
What’s the situation now? The enemy is still at the gate of Yangcheng.
Therefore, I believe that Ye Qingshan currently has in his hands a hundred thousand elite troops far away on the Yunnan-Myanmar border.
There must be other territories that support him to continue his counterattack in Guangdong Province.
I'm willing to take a gamble on this."
Little Zhuge's words convinced Li Zongren to some extent.
“But even though you think so highly of Ye Qingshan.
There is only a 50% chance of winning this battle?"
"Yes.
The 200,000-strong Japanese 11th Army in the north is too powerful.
Unless Ye Qingshan can convince Yue Boling to let him command the 300,000 or 400,000 elite Central Army troops in the Xiangxi battlefield.
Continue to fight to the death with the Japanese 11th Army on the Xiangxi battlefield and prevent the Japanese 11th Army from moving south to attack Guangdong.
Otherwise, once the entire 11th Army of the Japanese invaders moves south.
Even if I overestimate Ye Qingshan, I really can't think of what other cards he has.
It can stop such an elite army of the Japanese.
He can’t be a god who can turn beans into soldiers or perform magic tricks.”
Little Zhuge shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Even though he was called Little Zhuge.
Among the senior generals of the National Army at that time, he was considered to have great strategic vision and command ability.
I also can’t imagine what kind of extraordinary means Ye Qingshan has to stop more than 200,000 Japanese devils.
“Also, send troops to support Ye Qingshan and win the battle against Guangdong.
It's good for us too.
Don't forget, if the Japanese devils in Guangdong Province are not eliminated.
The Japanese may attack our Guangxi Province at any time, and I don’t want Yongzhou to fall again.
Let’s fight the bloody battle of Kunlun Pass again.
Last year, we sacrificed 30,000 soldiers in order to recapture Yongzhou from the Japanese.
And once Ye Qingshan can recover Guangdong Province this time.
By then, the biggest hidden danger around us will be eliminated.
Our Guangxi Province is much safer.
Therefore, whether from a moral point of view or from our own interests, it is necessary to support Ye Qingshan."
Little Zhuge proposed another reason to fully support Ye Qingshan.
“That makes sense.
Walking is healthy.
I'll listen to you this time.
I'll also take a gamble and see if Ye Qingshan can create another miracle."
After hesitating for a long time, Li Zongren slammed the table and shouted loudly.
"Damn it, Ye Qingshan dared to stay in Guangdong Province and fight against the devils under the current situation.
Just based on his courage, I admire him.
I've made this investment.
How can our Gui army not play a role in fighting the Japanese?
We, the Guangxi wolves, are not cowards or softies."
Little Zhuge laughed when he saw this.
"Jiansheng, tell me, how many people should we send to support Ye Qingshan this time?"
“Too much is not good, too little is not sincere.
Send a division.
Let the 31st Division of the 131st Army stationed in Jeonju go there now.
They are closest to northern Guangdong.”
Little Zhuge suggested.
Little Zhuge knew that Li Zongren would definitely not be willing to send one of the two main divisions of the Guangxi clique's two main forces.
During this period, the Guangxi clique had a total of five armies.
Among them, the Seventh Army and the 48th Army, known as the "Steel Army", are the two main forces in the hands of Li and Bai.
There are only five divisions in total.
If they send a team out and Ye Qingshan is defeated, the loss will be too great for them.
They could only send one division from the 31st Army, which was newly formed two years ago.
In this way, even if Ye Qingshan lost this battle, they could still bear such losses.
"A division of the 31st Army.
Fine.
Let the 131st Division go."
Li Zongren finally nodded in agreement.
"Then send a telegram to Commander He.
Let them leave tomorrow.
According to the latest news, that old devil Anan Weiji sent two mixed brigades south to northern Guangdong.
Because of the 10th Army's abandonment, the Danxia Mountain strategic location in northern Guangdong has been occupied by the Japanese.
Next, the Japanese will definitely seize Shaoguan.
And Ye Qingshan would never give up Shaoguan.
In the next few days, a bloody battle will inevitably break out between the two sides in Shaoguan.
Now, let the 131st Division rush over, maybe they can help Ye Qingshan."
Little Zhuge looked at the map and said with a serious expression.
In fact, Xiao Zhuge and other high-ranking generals of the National Army have been paying close attention to Ye Qingshan’s counterattack in Guangdong Province.
What's more, Xiao Zhuge and his companions are currently in Yongzhou, which is adjacent to Guangdong Province and is very close.
This made it much easier for them to obtain intelligence on the war in Guangdong Province.
At this time, a colonel of the Gui army rushed into the headquarters and shouted to Li and Bai:
“Oh no, latest news.
The Japanese invaders entered Shaoguan ahead of Ye Qingshan's troops."
