Chapter 825: Thirty-second Group Army

In addition to the two direct warring parties, there are also two forces that are also paying close attention to the upcoming big war, and one of the forces is the 32nd Group Army of the National Army entrenched in the Dabie Mountains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Wan Xiangyun walked into the war room, he saw that Li Motang, the chief of staff, was leading more than a dozen operational staff officers from the General Staff Department to conduct a war game deduction.

"Leave me alone." Wan Xiangyun waved his hand and said, "You go on." ”

Li Motang waved his hand and motioned for more than a dozen staff officers to continue, and then walked to Wan Xiangyun's side and stood still, saying: "General seat, I am working with a cadre of colleagues in the General Staff Department to conduct a war game on the upcoming sweeping operation against the Damei Mountains that the Central China Dispatch Army is about to launch. ”

Wan Xiangyun sighed and asked, "What is the result?" ”

"The results are not encouraging." Li Motang shook his head and said, "According to the information provided by the military commander, this time the Central China Dispatch Army has fully mobilized the strength of two divisions and one detachment, among which the Japanese army in the direction of Pukou also has a whole tank wing to help in the battle, which is menacing. ”

The military command had just been reorganized from the special service department of the Fuxing Society, and Dai Li's transfer from the director of the special service department to the director of the military command bureau was precisely at a time when he was full of ambition and was full of enthusiasm; in recent times, Dai Li has dispatched thousands of specially trained agents to major cities in the areas occupied by Japan and set up hundreds of military command stations.

These hundreds of military command stations soon began to show their might, and the intelligence sources of the Nationalist Army were markedly strengthened.

Therefore, even if there is no high-level spy like Jun Nakamura, the military commander has basically figured out the deployment of the Central China Dispatch Army through other channels.

"Chariot Wing?" Wan Xiangyun was taken aback when he heard this, "Nishio Shouzao, this old devil is really enough to look down on Xu Rui?" Even when the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing were fought, the little devils never dispatched the chariot troops formed by the wing, right? ”

"Isn't it?" Li Motang shook his head and said, "Xu Rui used Dameishan as a base to infiltrate more than a dozen surrounding counties, which has seriously threatened the Japanese army's rule in central Anhui, and Nishio Shouzo is estimated to be under great pressure, so he will mobilize a heavy army group to strike a thunderous blow." ”

"This is really a rafter that is rotten first, Xu Rui, Xu Rui, when he first attacked and infiltrated more than a dozen counties around Dameishan, did you ever think that there would be today?" Wan Xiangyun smiled, and then said, "The devil has moved his real character, and it seems that it will be difficult for Xu Rui to survive this level." ”

Li Motang said: "General seat, it is now the period of the contract between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, no matter what, the Dameishan Independent Regiment is a friendly army, otherwise, let's send one or two divisions out of Anhui, even if we can't directly give support to the Dameishan Independent Regiment, at least flank Feicheng to relieve some pressure." ”

Wan Xiangyun's face immediately turned cold, and after glancing at Li Motang coldly, he said, "Chief of Staff, are you having a bad brain?" The Dameishan Independent Regiment is only a theoretical friendly army of the party-state, and after defeating Little Japan, the CCP's troops will have to be dealt with sooner or later. ”

Li Motang said: "But isn't it still that little Japan has been defeated? Now let the Japanese army in Central China sweep Dameishan unscrupulously, once the Dameishan Independent Regiment cannot withstand it and is driven out of Dameishan by the devils, it will inevitably bring about two serious consequences. ”

"Two serious consequences?" Wan Xiangyun's eyelids jumped and said, "What consequences?" ”

Li Motang said: "First, after Xu Rui's troops are expelled from Dameishan, they will definitely find a new foothold, but whether they go south, east or north, they have been controlled by several other detachments of the New Fourth Army or the Eighth Route Army, so Xu Rui can only go west and enter the Dabie Mountains to grab territory with our 32nd Group Army." ”

Li Motang's vision is indeed farther than Wan Xiangyun, and he sees the problem more thoroughly.

After a pause, Li Motang said again: "Don't forget, during the ten-year civil war, Dabie Mountain was once the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base of the Communist Party, and after the main force of the Red Fourth Front Army was beaten away, Gao Hanting's troops have been insisting on guerrilla warfare in Dabie Mountain. ”

"So what?" Wan Xiangyun said in a deep voice.

Li Motang said: "Therefore, if Xu Rui's troops are really driven out of Dameishan by the Japanese army, and really go west to fight with us for Dabie Mountain, we may not be able to win, because the hearts of the people of Dabie Mountain are towards the CCP, and this should be felt by the general seat, right?" ”

Wan Xiangyun nodded, and then asked, "What is the second consequence?" ”

"The second consequence is even more serious." Li Motang pointed to the map, and then said, "You can know by looking at the map, most of Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu have basically fallen, and our Dabie Mountain has almost become an isolated island, surrounded by devils' territory, and the situation can be described as very bad, but on the other hand, our Dabie Mountain border area has also become a sharp knife that pierced into the Japanese-occupied area, making it difficult for the Japanese army in Central China to sleep and eat. ”

After a pause, Li Motang said again: "Therefore, this old devil of Nishio Shouzao must be like a stalk in our throat for us, so after severely attacking the Dameishan Independent Regiment, and then taking over, this old devil should mobilize a heavy army group to encircle and suppress our 32nd Group Army." ”

Speaking of which, Li Motang's meaning has been expressed very clearly.

To put it simply, there is now a tall man of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, so the attention of the little devils will not be able to turn to their 32nd Group Army for a while, but once the Dameishan Independent Regiment is defeated by the devils, the 32nd Group Army will immediately become the number one target of the devils.

Now the Sino-Japanese war has entered the stage of stalemate, and the Japanese army has stopped the offensive on the frontal battlefield, which is indeed true, but the encirclement and suppression of the anti-Japanese armed forces behind the enemy lines will only become more and more intense.

Wan Xiangyun said: "Chief of Staff, I understand what you mean, but it is absolutely impossible and not permissible for our 32nd Group Army to send troops to help the Dameishan Independent Regiment. ”

After a pause, Wan Xiangyun continued: "But what you just said is also reasonable, if you let Xu Yun's troops flow into Dabie Mountain, it will really be a troublesome matter, so immediately order Xia Hanzhong's 98th Army to go out of Huoshan and Tongcheng, once it is found that the CCP's rout troops are flowing into the territory, there is no need to ask for instructions, immediately disarm on the spot, if the CCP refuses to disarm, then destroy on the spot!" ”

Li Motang's face changed slightly, and he whispered: "Chief seat, think twice?" It's friction! ”

"Friction? Hehe, I'm just going to make friction! Wan Xiangyun smiled darkly when he heard this.

When it comes to military command attainments and tactical vision, he is not as good as Li Motang, but when it comes to political sensitivity, Li Motang is not as good as him Wan Xiangyun, in recent times, Wan Xiangyun has been keenly aware that the attitude of the Nationalist Government towards the CCP is quietly changing, and the previous harmony no longer exists, replaced by an undercurrent surging under the calm water.

It's just that just when Li Motang was about to go to the communications office to convey the order to the 98th Army, a communications staff officer suddenly hurriedly walked in, and then handed a telegram to Li Motang.

Wan Xiangyun frowned and asked, "Chief of Staff, what's the matter?" ”

"Boss, something happened to the devil." Li Motang whispered, "The 104th Division, which was originally scheduled to participate in this sweeping operation, suddenly had a large-scale fraud incident, so the sweeping operation originally scheduled to be launched today had to be postponed. ”

"What do you say?" Wan Xiangyun lost his voice and said, "A large-scale fraud incident? ”

Li Motang nodded, and continued: "According to the information provided by the military commander, this fraud incident is very serious, this morning, less than one of the four infantry wings that were originally scheduled to assemble has completed the assembly, and the rest of the devils are all admitted to the hospital with various injuries. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Wan Xiangyun's mouth was so big that he could almost swallow a goose egg, and it took a long time before he finally came back to his senses, and then said very angrily, "Xu Rui's life is really good, this kind of strange thing can be touched by him!" ”

Li Motang nodded, and said: "If it really drags on for ten days and half a month, and as soon as the tunnel network of the Dameishan Independent Regiment in Guanxian, Shanxian and Puxian takes shape, then Xu Rui's chances of winning will be greatly increased, and it will be difficult to predict who will die in the end of this battle." ”

Wan Xiangyun shook his head and said with great annoyance: "Chief of Staff, why did you say that our 32nd Group Army didn't encounter such a good thing?" How good would it be if this old devil Nishio Shouzo sent the 104th Division to sweep our Dabie Mountain border area? ”

Li Motang hummed lightly, but he thought coldly in his heart, the reason why the 104th Division of the Devil had a large-scale fraud was because the Dameishan Independent Regiment had a good reputation, and if the target of the battle was really changed to their 32nd Group Army, I am afraid it would be a different scene.

Li Motang didn't know that five years after another time and space, their 32nd Group Army really fought a battle with the 104th Division of the devil in the mountains of southern Anhui, and the final result was just as Li Motang expected, the 104th Division was as fierce as a pack of wolves, but their 32nd Group Army was about to collapse.

This is the "Famous in History" Yuxianggui Defeat! The Japanese army called it a battle to open up the lines of communication on the mainland!

What is particularly intolerable is that the Allied forces in the Zhouzhou, Europe, and Pacific theaters are advancing and winning one after another, but the Chinese battlefield has suffered the biggest rout since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

It was precisely in this battle that Stilwell, chief of the General Staff of the Chinese Theater, would be so angry that he said that famous sentence through the ages: The National Army has first-class soldiers in the world, second-rate grass-roots officers, third-rate commanders, and a supreme commander who is not in the stream!
