Chapter 1240: Far Eastern Division
Jiang Haoran said: "Yes, it is impossible for them to escape quickly with these heavy weapons, but they can rely on these heavy weapons to fight us along the way, which can also buy more time for the retreating troops, but they threw away all these heavy guys, and they can still beat tanks and helicopters on two legs?" β
"Yes?" Bai Chongxi frowned, and then shouted: "I know, although we blew up the Hansha River Railway Bridge, the railway in front of the Hansha River is still unblocked, and similarly, although we occupy Xuzhou, the Longhai Railway in the front section can still be used, as long as the little devil quickly escapes from this area, he can get on the train in front, yes, it must be like this." β
Jiang Haoran nodded and said: "I can't rule out this possibility, but have you thought about it, the heavy weapons and equipment of the two armies is not a small amount, and if they are thrown into the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River can be intercepted, and with the scarce resources of the island army itself, it is probably not possible to re-equip these troops in a short time." Furthermore, if the troops did not have heavy weapons, even if they crossed the Yellow River, what would they do to build a defensive line? With a rifle? Across the Yellow River, our artillery fire can hit them so that they can't find the north? β
Jiang Haoran's words suddenly made the two of them nervous, their brows tightened, obviously they couldn't find a reasonable reason to explain these problems, and Jiang Haoran couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, and the three of them suddenly fell into silence with wide eyes.
At this time, a staff officer came to report, saying that Liu He had arrived, and he had brought someone to ask Jiang Haoran if he had seen him.
"Let them in." Jiang Haoran said.
Liu He is only the chief of staff of the 40th Group Army, and his level has not yet reached the point of casually entering the general headquarters, and he is generally responsible for handling the affairs in Jiang Haoran's office, and there must be urgent matters at this time.
Not long after, Liu He hurriedly walked in, followed by Ye Kai, director of the Intelligence Department of the 40th Group Army.
Seeing that Liu He was fine, as soon as he saw Ye Kai and Jiang Haoran's heart was inexplicably tightened, it was probably not a trivial matter to let Ye Kai come to Wuhan in person at this time.
When the battle is fought like this, the intelligence department can be said to be the busiest unit in the rear, and the general thing is to contact through telephone and radio.
After saluting, Liu He went directly to the topic and reported to the three of them, just now Stilwell sent a secret telegram, according to the exact information report of the intelligence department of the United States, two days ago, the prime minister of the island army, Tojo Hideki, went to Berlin to meet with the Nazi FΓΌhrer Hitler, the secret conversation lasted for a day, and the content of the secret conversation could not be determined, but when Tojo Hideki came, his face was cloudy, and when he left, his face was full of spring breeze, and the United States suspected that some kind of agreement had been reached between them.
Hearing the news, Jiang Haoran, Li Zongjian, and Bai Chongxi glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became solemn, everyone knows that at this time, the German-Japanese conspiracy must be for the Chinese battlefield, and now the island army is losing and retreating in China, and the only thing they can count on is that the German-Japanese division will become a reality as soon as possible, only by getting the assistance of the German army from the Far East, including weapons, ammunition, fuel and other materials and even the army, the island army can contain the offensive posture of the squadron, and can make Tojo Hideki leave Berlin happily, Except that this goal has been achieved, several people can't think of anything else that can make him happy.
This news is undoubtedly like a basin of cold water, which makes the three of them feel cold in their hearts.
Bai Chongxi suddenly became startled and shouted, "Ziqian, do you think there is any inevitable connection between this news and the current performance of the island army?" β
Jiang Haoran's expression was stunned, and he suddenly felt like an empowered, his fingers connected in the air, and he said excitedly: "It is very likely that the weapons of the island army are really a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron in front of the German army, and they are counting on receiving German weapons and equipment, so they threw all these weapons away so happily, so ......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Haoran suddenly stopped, and then shook his head and said: "No, no, this can't be said, the island army can't open the Siberian Railway so quickly, as long as this railway is not connected, even if the German army occupies Moscow, the materials cannot be transported to China, unless ......"
Jiang Haoran seemed to have thought of something, but he seemed to be stunned by his own thoughts, and looked at Bai Chongxi blankly for a long time without any reaction, and this initiative suddenly scared Li Zongjian and Bai Chongxi stupidly.
"Total seat...... Total Seat ...... I ......" Ye Kai, who had not spoken since entering the house, stepped forward, and stopped talking, Jiang Haoran came back to his senses, looked at Ye Kai and patted his head and said, "I forgot about you, by the way, what do you have to say?" β
Ye Kaidao: "This is what I want to say, our people did not find the Soviet Far Eastern Army in Kazan and Yekaterinburg, but found a large number of German troops. β
Jiang Haoran looked at Ye Kai with his mouth wide open, as if he was shocked by the news, but Bai Chongxi on the side asked Ye Kaihu suspiciously: "You also have agents in the Soviet Union?" β
Ye Kaidao: "Outer Mongolia was originally our land during the Qing Dynasty, and there were more secret agents on the border than any ordinary city in China. β
Bai Chongxi didn't continue to ask, but glanced at Li Zongjian meaningfully, but Jiang Haoran on the side suddenly muttered: "It's over, Germany and Japan have already met in the Far East." β
Li Zongjian exclaimed, "This ...... This can't be, haven't you heard anything about this from the Soviet side? β
Bai Chongxi also said anxiously: "Yes, this is completely impossible, ten days ago, the island army Kwantung Army only reached Lake Baikal, and it is at least 3,000 kilometers away from Moscow, even if the German army occupies Moscow, but there are still Soviet Far East Army troops in the middle, they can't break through the thousands of miles long defense line in just ten days, this is unrealistic?" β
Jiang Haoran said coldly: "What if all this is deliberately tired by the Soviet Union? β
"What? You say that the Soviets took the initiative to abandon the Trans-Siberian Railway and let Germany and Japan join forces in the Far East? It's impossible, it's impossible, and what good can it do them? Bai Chongxi danced excitedly.
"What's in it for you? Hmph......" Jiang Haoran snorted coldly and said: "The biggest advantage is to lead the water to the east, so that Germany and Japan can burn the flames of war to China, so that they can be given a chance to breathe, even if it is won for two to three months, the Soviet Union will be full of jet fighters, knocking out the German air force, and they will have the capital to fight back." β
Li Zongjian said: "Didn't we just transfer them to an air force to aid the Soviet Union?" The Soviets weren't so insidious, right? Besides, the Trans-Siberian Railway was like a backbone for the USSR, and they would have knocked out their own backbone? β
