Chapter 1122: Flesh Mill
When everyone walked out of the conference room, Liu He and Huang Jie began to go out, in this conference room, their status was insignificant, and naturally they couldn't compete with those generals, so they could only wait for them to finish before leaving. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But he never thought that as soon as the two arrived at the door, they were stopped by Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi asked Liu He where the special operations division and the new third division were going, the battle was about to break out, and he also expected these two elite troops to go to the front line as soon as possible, with the momentum of a sharp knife, tearing apart the defense line of the island army with the power of thunder.
Liu He immediately frowned, Jiang Haoran did not preserve his strength when he made the plan, and put his most elite troops at the forefront, especially the Nanshan Independent Army, except for the new fifth division in Burma, the new sixth division in Nanchang, the new second division, the new fourth division, and even the new first division have been pulled out this time, and they have all arrived at the front line in northern Anhui at this moment.
However, the special operations division and the new third division are not among them, they are the reserve troops prepared by Jiang Haoran, and they are going to turn the tide at a critical moment, and moreover, the special operations division is the trump card among the trump cards of the 40 th Group Army, and what they are best at is rapid maneuvering and surprise attacks to win, and Jiang Haoran will never use them to fight a frontal battle of attack and a war of attrition.
Listening to Bai Chongxi's meaning, this is to use the sharp knife as a machete, so where is it, if this sharp knife is broken, Jiang Haoran still doesn't knock him Liu He's head full of chestnuts?
Liu He immediately kept an eye on it and told Bai Chongxi that the vanguard of the Special Operations Division and the New Third Division had just arrived in Nanchang, and it would take at least three to five days for the large troops to arrive.
As a matter of fact, the Special Operations Division and the New Third Division began to return to China a few years ago, and all of them entered the 331 base at the end of January, and after resting at the base for a period of time, they all entered Nanchang in early February.
At this time, the Pinghan Railway and the Guangdong-Hankou Railway had been connected because of the existence of the two train ferries, and if the special operations division and the new third division were to be transferred to the front line, it would be two or three days at the earliest, but Liu He did not dare to do this, nor did he want to do so.
Bai Chongxi didn't seem to be suspicious of Liu He's words, and only urged him to quickly pull the troops up.
Although Ma Jianhui's political training office still exists, it is completely an empty shelf since the chairman went into the field, and there is no power at all in the 40th Group Army, and if the staff below is not careful, they will be served by the soldiers with old fists, and they can only clamp their tails and be people. They are not as comfortable as a dog at the base.
Liu He and Huang Jie came out of the conference room and prepared to take a helicopter back to Nanchang, but found a group of people surrounded by the helicopter at the door, pointing at each other as if they were looking at the novelty.
Although helicopters have been available for some time, there are really not many people who have really seen them in China, not to mention the group of people in front of them, who are dressed in gray cloth military uniforms, and they are clearly a group of dirt and eight roads.
Because this battle was a joint operation of "two", they had just been spotted in the conference room, so it was not surprising to see them here at this time.
Liu He's sharp eyes saw at a glance the representative of the Eighth Route Army in this battle - Zhou Gong.
Although he didn't have any intersection with Zhou Gong, he had a lot of dealings with the New Fourth Army, especially Jiang Haoran's consistent "sympathetic" attitude towards them, which made Liu He not reject them, so seeing him at this moment, Liu He quickly greeted him, and Lao Yuan stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "Hello Zhou Gong!" ”
Zhou Gong also stretched out his right hand, shook hands with Liu He and Huang Jie warmly, and said with a gentle smile: "Chief of Staff Liu, Chief of Staff Huang, I was attracted by your helicopter as soon as I went out, don't you mind if you take a look?" ”
"How come, if Zhou Gong likes it, you can watch it casually." Liu He replied.
Zhou Gong turned around and pointed at the helicopter, but said softly: "Hurry up and try to inform General Jiang to come back, Bai Chongxi can't listen to the advice, his kind of troop deployment will have a big incident." ”
Liu He was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Zhou Gong's intentions, pointed to the propeller and said loudly: "Yes, the helicopter relies on the rotation of the propeller to generate lift and fly into the sky." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Can you be specific?" ”
Zhou Gongxian pointed to the helicopter and exclaimed, "Oops, what a great masterpiece!" Then he also lowered his voice and said: "After you go back, you should be able to understand the troop allocation on the front line in northern Anhui if you take a closer look." ”
Because it was at the gate of the Wuhan camp, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at them behind them, and the conversation could only end at the point, a few people pointed around the helicopter and parted ways, and Zhou Gong and the staff around him did not get on the helicopter to take a look.
On the way back to Nanchang, Liu He and Huang Jie repeatedly discussed the meaning of Zhou Gong's words, but they couldn't get the point.
After returning to Nanchang, the two of them hurriedly walked into the war room without caring that it was already the second half of the night, ordered someone to quickly notify the deputy commander-in-chief Zhang Dabiao, and at the same time ordered the staff officers of the staff headquarters to come immediately.
In a short time, Zhang Dabiao and the staff officers walked into the war room one after another, and Liu He briefly introduced the situation and immediately began to conduct a sand table exercise.
The entire northern Anhui front line is the main direction of attack, and the number of troops is as large as a cow's hair, including the Fifth Theater, the Ninth Theater, three infantry divisions and a tank division of the Nanshan Independent Army, two divisions and a column of the Eighth Route Army, and most of the New Fourth Army.
The main direction of attack of the three divisions of the Fifth Theater and the Nanshan Independent Army was Zhoukou and Fuyang, which were also the key parts of the battle, so the strength accounted for more than half of the entire line, with more than 540,000, including more than 140,000 divisions of the Nanshan Independent Army and more than 400,000 of the four group armies of the Fifth Theater.
After the Battle of Wuhan, the Fifth Theater had three group armies under its jurisdiction, with less than 300,000 troops, and the largest theater was Xue Yue's Ninth Theater, which at its peak reached more than 60 divisions and more than 700,000 horses.
However, after the Battle of Wuhan, especially after the chairman of the National People's Congress went into the field, the strength of the Ninth Theater was sharply reduced, mostly because of the outbreak of the Western Yunnan Campaign and forced to be transferred to Western Yunnan, including Lu Han's First Group Army, etc., but a small part was because Li Zongjian wanted to weaken Xue Yue's strength, after all, Xue Yue has always been the chairman's right-hand man, and the Ninth Theater, which originally had only three group armies, transferred the 30th Army to the Fifth Theater.
At present, only Yang Sen's 27th Group Army and Yu Jishi's 19th Group Army are left in the Ninth Theater, as well as two independent columns with a lack of personnel and a small number of personnel, and the total strength is only 2340,000.
