Chapter 248: After the Fall of Wuhan
At the same time as the Japanese army took action against Xianguo, it also carried out a military change in southern China to regain air supremacy by antiaircraft artillery aircraft. Pinshu.com Hu Zhiyong was surprised: "Where did he get the anti-aircraft gun blueprints?" ”
"Germany." Dechang has been active in the south, and soon told the inside story to the three young men of the Hu family.
"Since Germany made drawings for the little devil anti-aircraft guns, they must have gotten more powerful long-range artillery fire. In this way, I am afraid that Wuhan is dangerous. Hu Zhiyong kept walking in the living room, and the things in front of him became incredible, which gave him a headache.
The LeFH18 is a howitzer designed in 1918, which was one of the best guns of its time, it has excellent ballistics designed for long distances, it is a typical German weapon, it is lightweight, and it can use various types of shells.
If Hu Zhiyong was commanding this campaign, he would take the initiative to attack by exploiting his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and use the advantages of self-propelled rocket artillery to disperse his attacks against howitzer groups. However, the command of the national army was stiff, and he did not dare to face the enemy for fear of losses.
Once Wuhan is lost, Chongqing will inevitably be bombed by planes, will the tragedy in history be repeated?
"Tell Chiang Kai-shek that I want to meet him!" Hu Zhiyong finally decided that the battle of Wuhan could be ended, but the Japanese army had to be inflicted heavy losses on him, so that he could stop the idea of bombing Chongqing.
Hu Zhiyong wanted to go to the front line in person, and Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren, and others were very happy. However, when he arrived in a hurry with only one company of guards, everyone was disappointed.
"You want me to bring the troops?" Hu Zhiyong smiled and joked with everyone: "Those guys are very possessive, I'm afraid I won't be able to control and take away your territory." ”
"Hahahaha, if you want to occupy it, you will also go to occupy the Japanese war zone, you can drive away all the little devils, and I have no opinion on handing over the territory to you to govern!" Bai Chongxi cunningly used the discord scheme, which made Lao Jiang feel a trace of fear in his heart.
"Forget it, I'm still happy to be a businessman." Hu Zhiyong knew Bai Chongxi's intentions, and smiled faintly to bring things back to the topic.
The Battle of Wuhan has been fought for nearly four months since June. Due to the improper operational guidance of the top decision-makers and some senior generals, they consumed themselves excessively while consuming the enemy, and the main reason was that they simply carried out positional defense during the campaign and fought with the Japanese army.
With the arrival of Hu Zhiyong, Bai Chongxi voluntarily handed over the command. He smiled and shook his head: "I'll be your chief of staff, and ask the principal to give an order: those who are ineffective in combat will be killed!" ”
All the generals trembled and looked at Chiang Kai-shek, who had not said a word.
"Are you sure you can win this battle?" Lao Jiang first trapped Hu Zhiyong, hoping that the battle of Wuhan would take a turn for the better.
"The northern foot of Dabie Mountain is strictly guarded, and the troops of the first theater of war have sent me an army over. Let go of Guangzhou's first-line defense, and outflank from West Lake and Huizhou. The 27 armies of Chief Chen Cheng of the Ninth Theater will attack on all fronts when the campaign is launched! ”
Hu Zhiyong assigned the task with his baton, and finally turned around and said with a smile: "When the ninth and third theaters besiege the Japanese army, the first theater will drive out all the enemies in Dabie Mountain!" ”
"Sanshao, I admire your plan!" Bai Chongxi looked at it carefully for a long time, and said worriedly: "What if the Japanese army marches towards Guangzhou?" Our backs are in danger! ”
"Don't worry, the troops in Hong Kong will guard you, don't you worry about them either?" Hu Zhiyong smiled slightly, and said to several artillery and tank units: "You must form a skirmish line to attack, and when you find the Japanese artillery fire, don't have any scruples to attack from all directions to the appropriate position." In this battle, let's fight with the Japanese army with bayonets! ”
"Fight bayonets?" All the generals of the national army were surprised, the little devil was very fierce, and I don't know how many people would die with such a method of warfare.
"Yes, bayonet!" Hu Zhiyong laughed: "Use our assault rifles and fight a melee battle with the little devil's bayonet!" ”
"Clever!" Bai Chongxi had already comprehended Hu Zhiyong's decision-making essentials, and said loudly to the officers from all walks of life: "We wasted the troops of the Third War Zone in the past, and we were also scrupled by the howitzers of the little devils. Now, let's disperse and attack under the nose of the Japanese army, and use the power of rocket artillery to get the little devils back to the East! ”
"No!" Hu Zhiyong hurriedly stopped, looked at the generals of the national army, and said coldly: "In this battle, I want the little devil to be frightened and never dare to take the initiative again!" The Japanese army was defeated, and it was hoped that all armies would go all out to catch up, and the areas south of Hefei and Xinyang would all be recovered! ”
"Yes!" Perhaps it was Hu Zhiyong who brought confidence to everyone, and all the officers shouted loudly, and their promises showed the momentum of soldiers.
Lao Jiang looked at it, and he had a high opinion of Hu Zhiyong's courage and conducting art. At this time, he stood up and said to the commanders of the theater: "Where the battle is not effective, I will use military law to deal with it, and I will not be lenient!" ”
"Yes!"
"Let's go back and prepare." Chiang Kai-shek asked the theater commander to leave and sat down with Hu Zhiyong and Bai Chongxi. Li Zongren faced the three young men of the Hu family and looked at him with appreciative eyes.
"I'm pretty?" Hu Zhiyong was embarrassed and had to be ridiculed.
"You're so bold!" Li Zongren sat down and said politely to Hu Zhiyong: "Commander Shunroku Hata commands the 2nd and 11th armies, with a total of about 140 brigades and 250,000 troops, responsible for the operation against Wuhan. With Okamura Ninji commanding the 5 and a half divisions of the 11th Army to attack Wuhan along both sides of the Yangtze River; Minoru Higashikunomiya Minoru commanded four and a half divisions of the 2nd Army to assist Wuhan along the northern foot of Dabie Mountain. As well as more than 120 ships of the Navy and the 3rd Fleet of Shiro Kawako, and more than 500 aircraft of the Air Regiment.
The five divisions and regiments under the direct jurisdiction of the Central China Dispatch Army were respectively responsible for guarding Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and other areas. From your arrangement, I have not heard a word about how to deal with the navy, the air force, and the Japanese reinforcements in Shanghai and Nanjing. ”
Li Zongren's words suddenly made Lao Jiang's heart rise again. Bai Chongxi nodded: "The air force can dispatch our air force to meet the enemy, who will deal with the navy?" Who will deal with the reinforcements of the Japanese army? ”
Hu Zhiyong smiled, looked at the supreme headquarters of the three national armies, and said happily: "Since it is my battle plan that I did not take into account, let my guard company deal with the Japanese navy." The enemy of Shanghai and Nanjing, I believe he will not dare to move! ”
Li Zongren said dissatisfiedly: "What if I come for reinforcements? ”
"It seems that I have sent an army from the first war zone, what do you think they should do?" Hu Zhiyong smiled and did not express indignation at Li Zongren's attitude.
"Yes, use this army to stop the Japanese army!" Lao Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
"It's not blocking, it's not about fighting positional warfare." Hu Zhiyong got up again, walked to the map and pointed to Fuyang: "Transfer them here, once the Japanese army is dispatched, give me the opportunity to take Nanjing!" ”
"What a big deal!" Bai Chongxi stood up and explained to Li Zongren: "There are roundabout troops in the Third Theater of Operations, which can be divided into two steps at any time to block the enemy reinforced by Shanghai, and I have also considered this. ”
"Sai Zhuge seems to have wronged you too much, you should be Kong Ming alive!" Hu Zhiyong happily praised Bai Chongxi once, and made a beautiful fart without revealing his edges.
The Kuomintang suddenly switched from defense to attack, and the Japanese army panicked. In the face of the onslaught of more than 700,000 troops, their total strength of more than 200,000 troops was simply unable to resist. It didn't take long for the artillery to be fired, and it was hit by the tank guns and self-propelled rocket launchers of the national army.
The Japanese planes took to the air, and the national jet fighters rushed to meet the enemy, perhaps the excitement of the large army attack stimulated the air force, and the air competition with the Japanese army in the air battle of one to three was enjoyed.
The Japanese navy was even more miserable, and at the moment of launch, it was targeted and attacked by Hu Zhiyong's guard company with ground missile launchers. The two largest warships caught fire, and the other ships began to run towards the East China Sea in a desperate manner.
In two days, Chiang Kai-shek saw the might of his troops and the vulnerable side of the Japanese army. He sighed and said to Li Zongren: "The third young man of the Hu family is indeed a good military talent. ”
"Yes." Li Zongren couldn't do it without admiration, he admired Bai Chongxi's military command very much, but he admired Hu Zhiyong's army even more.
Okamura was in a hurry. Through aerial reconnaissance, he found that after a month of fierce fighting, the defensive gap between Nanxun Road and Ruiwu Road was getting bigger and bigger, and at this time, a strange soldier was sent through this gap and suddenly appeared behind the defenders, so the 200,000 Chinese defenders in front of Nanxun Road could be surrounded by three divisions of the Japanese army.
Okamura divided the 106th Division into five divisions so that it could stealthily pass through gaps in the national defense line and support each other in the event of an attack. On September 25, the 106th Division officially began its operation, entering the Wanjialing area west of De'an, but was lost due to a map error.
The Japanese army wanted to use a sneak attack, but was discovered by Xue Yue. He immediately commanded the 4th, 66th, and 74th armies to make a detour from the flank and rear to surround them. The Japanese 27th Division was reinforced and repulsed by the 32nd Army and other units in the Baishui Street area west of Wanjialing.
On October 7, the Chinese army launched a general offensive, fought fiercely for three days and nights, and defeated the Japanese army many times. Due to the isolation of the Japanese army, the supply was cut off, and the battle lasted until the 10th, and the 106th Division of the Japanese army was annihilated by more than 3,000 people, which was the battle with the most enemies destroyed in the main operations in northern Jiangxi.
Hu Zhiyong sighed: "This is a coincidence with history, but compared with the overall battlefield, it seems that the number of enemies destroyed is much less!" ”
"Victory is in sight, do you order the troops to advance northward in a roundabout way and drive the Japanese Second Army out of Dabie Mountain?" Bai Chongxi's appetite grew.
"No!" Hu Zhiyong stood in front of the map and watched: "The besieged places on the front line must be completely annihilated, and then retreat according to the key points!" ”
"Retreat?" Lao Jiang frowned dissatisfied, waiting for Hu Zhiyong to continue.
"The Japanese army will also increase its troops. Headmaster, if you want to drive away the Japanese troops on the front line of Kaifeng, transfer the troops of the third theater of operations. If this tactic is used in combat, Jiangnan will become the grave of the little devil! ”
Hu Zhiyong got up after speaking, and Bai Chongxi was surprised: "You want to go?" ”
"I'm a businessman." Hu Zhiyong smiled: "There is no threat to Wuhan anymore, and the principal will not give me a medal of blue sky and white sun." ”
"Who says I don't give?" Chiang Kai-shek stood up: "Needless to say, this battle is based on your contributions to the fight against Japan in the past few years, and this medal should also be!" ”
"Oh?" Hu Zhiyong smiled: "Okay, I'll accept the medal, but I have to go!" ”
"Go ahead, remember to send me ammunition and food." Bai Chongxi knew that Hu Zhiyong would not stay, so he smiled and proposed material supplies.
"Don't worry!" Hu Zhiyong shook hands with them one by one and said with a grin: "When the anti-Japanese victory is won, these things will be counted as money for me." Of course, I won't ask the Nationalist Government for a reckoning with the Emperor! ”
How did Lao Jiang know that Hu Zhiyong had something to say, and after hearing it, he said happily: "Okay, it's yours who can come over, just don't ask me to settle accounts!" ”
"Really?" Hu Zhiyong asked if he was really pretending.
"Really!" The veteran replied in the affirmative.
"Don't worry, this day will come!" Hu Zhiyong laughed, raised his hand and said goodbye to everyone. The guard company hurriedly started the vehicle and began to walk south towards Hong Kong. Bai Chongxi was thoughtful, and only after a long time did he whisper: "He has the ability, maybe, he will really take action against the island country!" ”
