Sun Zhen took the telegram and glanced at it, his face changed slightly, he stood up and walked two steps and stopped, turned around and apologized to the abbot: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have something to deal with, please forgive me"

The abbot stood up and folded his hands: "Amitabha, military intelligence first, general please"

Sun Zhen thought in his heart as he walked, Zhuang Jihua's call was very simple, ordering the First Army and the First Division of the Airborne Forces to immediately cross the Tumen River into North Korea, and then move south along the Sino-North Korean border

Sun Zhen saw at a glance that the troops of the Western Front had broken through the Hunhe River, the 103rd Army attacked Wudaogou, the 102nd Army occupied Liangshui Hezi, and the 2nd Cavalry Army occupied Xinghua, and the entire front was advancing in parallel, and the 101st Army had also reached Gushanzi

The entire 49th Group Army gathered into a group and advanced forward, and the individual armies were closely connected, and the distance between the armies was only two or three kilometers, and the Japanese army could not divide it even if it had great ability

The 1st Mechanized Army in the east was completely different, occupying Mengjiang and now Jingyu County

The 2nd Tank Division and the 1st Armored Division crossed the Changbai Mountain and outflanked the Jiangyuan, while the 3rd Armored Division crossed the southern foot of the Changbai Mountain and went straight to Linjiang

"This Qiu madman" Sun Zhen scolded helplessly, Qiu Qingquan obviously didn't take his order to heart, the five divisions of the entire group army were divided into three parts, scattered in the lofty mountains and mountains of Changbai Mountain, especially the armored third division, which was deep alone

"Give Qiu Qingquan a power generation force, don't marry too scattered, the armored third division should move closer to the north," Sun Zhen immediately gave an order, and the staff officer immediately drafted an order and sent it out

After dealing with these things, Sun Zhen asked the chief of staff: "Where are the First Army and the First Division of the Airborne Forces now?" ”

Chief of Staff Gao Songyuan pointed to the map and said: "The First Division of the Airborne Forces is relatively scattered, and the three regiments occupy Tumen respectively, Wang Qing, Hunchun, and Sun Liren themselves with the main force of the First Army stationed in Longjing and Long, and the troops stay on the north bank of the Tumen River."

Sun Zhen nodded: "What about the situation in North Korea?" How many troops are there in the devils? ”

Now the chief of staff was embarrassed, he shook his head: "I don't know, the theater command did not report the situation in North Korea, how many devils are there, we don't know"

Sun Zhen looked at the map silently, thought for a while, and said: "Chief of Staff Gao, call the theater command, the enemy situation in North Korea is not clear, can it be appropriate for an army to cross the river alone?" ”

After the decision was made to set up three clusters, Gao Songyuan was dismissed from the post of chief of operations in the theater and sent to the northern front as Sun Zhen's chief of staff to assist Sun Zhen in commanding the operations on the northern front

Sun Zhen's caution was very much in line with Gao Songyuan's appetite, and he also thought that it was inappropriate for an army to cross the river alone, and that it should at least add a group army to cross the river, so that it could have the strength to deal with possible emergencies

However, the reply from the theater command soon arrived, and Zhuang Jihua's tone in the telegram was very stern: "The Japanese army on the western front has been attacked by our army and is evacuating in a hurry, the first army crossing the river can increase the chaos of the Japanese army, and the danger of the first army crossing the river as long as it does not penetrate deep into Korea is not great, and the west along the Tumen River can form a cooperation with Qiu Qingquan's department on the north bank of the Tumen River, and your actions on the north bank should be cautious, and the actions on the south bank should be bold The whole army has 50,000 troops, which is fully capable of dealing with any unexpected situation."

Sun Zhen was silent after seeing it, before the war, the theater command reported that about 100,000 of the main force of the Kwantung Army had been evacuated to Korea, and the first army crossed the river alone, the strength was not superior, and it was difficult to cover in the air

"Commander of the Zaidian Theater, the situation in Jiangnan is unclear, there are many changes, it is better to let the troops stay in Jiangbei, cooperate with Guo Qiu Zai's group army, and after recovering the entire northeast, then seek to cross the river" Sun Zhen still insisted, the Japanese army on the western front has not carried out serious resistance so far, and there is still the strength of the first battle, Qiu Qingquan is now very scattered, if the 50,000 troops of the first army come over, it can increase the density of troops and fill the gap in the troops

"Commander Zhuang, what's wrong? Gao Songyuan frowned and said: "Now we have the advantage in all aspects, and we don't need to take risks by winning with a positive battle."

Sun Zhen shook his head: "How much might the commander think Ask Sun Liren, what is his opinion on crossing the river to the south?" ”

Soon the theater command and Sun Liren called back, Zhuang Jihua reiterated his reason again in the telegram, the first army can mobilize the Japanese army on the eastern front to the south, and form a confusion for the Japanese army, "The army responds to the right, and the move of crossing the river is strange, you are worried about the movement of the Korean Japanese army, although the Korean Japanese army has 100,000, it can be distributed in the vast area from central Korea to the north, and it will take several days just to assemble, and the main force of the Japanese army on the western front will suffer great losses under the attack of our ground and air forces, Unable to engage in a large-scale battle in a short period of time, the Korean Japanese army will not dare to advance eastward with all its strength to attack our troops crossing the river, so the troops crossing the river will not face the main force of the Korean Japanese army, and they will not be in danger as long as they do not go too deep."

The tone of the telegram was not as hasty as the previous letter to King De, but very gentle, and he analyzed the pros and cons of crossing the river in more detail, believing that on the whole, the danger of crossing the river was not great, and the threat to the enemy was great

Sun Liren's telegram was simple, with only one sentence: "I have gathered my troops on the north bank, and I can cross the river and head south at any time."

"It seems that they all want to cross the river and go south, since this is the case, then cross the river" Sun Zhen agreed with some reluctance

Gao Songyuan thought for a while and said: "Is this the case, let the First Division of the Airborne Forces leave one regiment with the puppet army anyway to hold Jinan, and the remaining two regiments will be assembled immediately and go south with Sun Liren."

Sun Zhen was silent, Zhuang Jihua put a total of more than 60,000 people from the First Army and the First Division of the Airborne Forces into Jinan, the purpose was very clear, that is, to grab territory, if only one regiment was left, once the Eighth Route Army entered the area, it would be a troublesome matter in the future

"Okay, I'll talk about the future later" Sun Zhen made up his mind: "Order Li Hanping to assemble the troops immediately, and the two regiments under his command will be attached to the first army, and the first army will immediately cross the river and go south, and after crossing the river, it will advance west along the Tumen River, and it will not go deep into the interior of Korea."

Sun Zhen did not leave the war room, the battle reports from all over the country came one after another, in the evening, Guo Xunqi gave a speech, the resistance of the Japanese army in the front increased, the 103rd Army fought with the Japanese 174th Division in Guyeling, the 102nd Army was blocked by the Japanese 180th Division, and the two sides fought on the first line of Lao Yetai

Sun Zhen was in a state of mind for a while, stood up and walked to the map after a few steps, his eyes stared at Guyeling and Lao Yetai, and after looking at it for a while, he frowned and said, "The terrain here is not very good."

Gao Songyuan had already noticed this, and he smiled bitterly and said: "That's the case, the terrain here is very complicated, Lao Yetai is 1,600 meters high, and Guyeling is 2,200 meters high, which is the only way to Tonghua."

"Order Guo Xunqi to attack" Sun Zhen was a little excited, and he was finally able to fight a good battle Gao Songyuan was a little worried: "Commander, 1 little devil is not right, the Western Front has retreated, but he has begun to harden the top, this is not right"

Sun Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Gao Songyuan said, according to military common sense, now the Japanese army should give up Tonghua, quickly go south to Ji'an, and retreat into northern Korea: at least it should retreat to Ji'an, with its back to the Tumen River, so that it can not only attract the frontal [center] ** team, cover the southward retreat of the main force on the western front, but also effectively preserve itself

"Where is Qiu Qingquan?" Sun Zhen immediately asked, Gao Songyuan nodded in his heart, Sun Zhen's reaction was very fast, and he immediately understood his worries, the day himself was probably playing the trick of attacking the east from the north, and the real target was Qiu Qingquan

Gao Songyuan shook his head, meaning that there was no news, Sun Zhen's thick eyebrows furrowed and he resolutely ordered: "Telegraph to Qiu Qingquan, the Japanese army's western front has collapsed, the eastern front will hold Laoyetai and Guyeling, and there is a possibility of attacking the east from the north, your department should be cautious, keep in touch with each other, do not rush in and send it out immediately, and at the same time report our situation to the theater command."

After Gao Songyuan drafted the order, Sun Zhen thought about it and still didn't know it, and added: "Immediately telegraph Guo Xunqi to immediately move the 101st Army westward, detour to Jingou, and insert it into the side of Guyeling, and the 102nd Army will immediately transfer the 106th Division to the south and go straight to Baishan" With Sun Zhen's several orders, the atmosphere in the war room suddenly became tense, the telegram was ticking and busy, and the staff officers trotted in and out

Sun Zhen anxiously waited for the news from Qiu Qingquan, the night came, the war room was brightly lit, Sun Zhen was pacing back and forth in the yard and the cool breeze blew, and the heat in the mountains dissipated quickly, but Sun Zhen was still very irritable, and the telegram had been gone for several hours, Qiu Qingquan had no news, and this calm made him particularly uneasy

The telegram from the theater command arrived quickly, Zhuang Jihua agreed with his judgment, Qiu Qingquan scattered the troops too far, in this complex terrain, it was very dangerous to do so, but Zhuang Jihua did not think that Qiu Qingquan was very dangerous, he thought that as long as Sun Liren successfully crossed the south, the Japanese army on the eastern front would definitely be mobilized, and he would not dare to stay in the north of the Tumen River

"The summer dew in the mountains hits people, it is easy to be infected with wind and cold, and the general wanders at night, can he feel uneasy?"

The figure of the abbot appeared at the door of the moon, Sun Zhen looked at him and was quietly stunned, the abbot said calmly: "The old man was meditating in the meditation room, and suddenly his mind was disturbed.

"Oh, Zen has a heart, too?" Sun Zhen said casually

"Of course there is a heart, but there is no heart how to participate in meditation" The abbot's voice was calm, without the slightest wave

Sun Zhen laughed, turned around and walked to the stone table in the afternoon and sat down, compared to him, the abbot's pace was much slower, but his steps were very steady, as if he was worried about stepping on the ants on the ground, the hem of the monk's robe swayed quietly, like the branches and leaves of the willow swaying in the waves

"Buddhism says that it is not like a mountain, the general's heart is not quiet, because he does not know, and the old man is not quiet, because of worry," the abbot said

"It's not surprising, I'm a soldier, and what a soldier is most worried about on the battlefield is not a vicious battle, but that he doesn't know, he doesn't know where the enemy is, and he doesn't know what the enemy will do" Sun Zhen's voice was relatively loud, buzzing in the night

"Buddhism pays attention to karma, there is a cause to have an effect, the general planted the cause on the day, and the natural harvest of the fruit today, the general can know, whether he knows it or not, in fact, it all comes from the cause," the abbot said slowly

Sun Zhen didn't refute this time, he just listened silently, but his heart flew hundreds of kilometers away, Qiu Qingquan is a bastard, even if nothing happens this time, Lao Tzu will never let him go
