Chapter 774: Sudden changes in military intelligence

With the full support of the young marshal and his henchmen, more than 4,200 officers and men of the mixed brigade led by the fierce general Gu Changfeng arrived at the small station of Twenty Lipu east of Zunhua by train, and took over more than 700 war horses from the brothers of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade of the Northeast Army.

An Yi in the Dangshan headquarters did not rest, and when dawn was approaching, he received a secret message from Gu Changfeng, walked to the map and carefully calculated for a while, and finally nodded reassuringly.

At 11 o'clock last night, the boarding place of more than 4,000 soldiers was selected at the edge of the sparsely populated railway line east of Changping, which is not a station, and the 16 trains called the "material special train" were also temporarily transferred and marshalled by the headquarters of the young marshal. The purpose of such painstaking arrangements is to avoid the eyes and ears of the garrisons and the people along the way, and now it seems that this step has been done very well, if it goes well, it will be possible to reach the old platform at the junction of Lingyuan and Jianchang at noon tomorrow, where it is less than ninety kilometers away from Chaoyang, and most of the road is a deserted mountain road valley, which is very beneficial to the sneaking of the mixed brigade.

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Rui, who woke up and finished washing, entered the command headquarters, and saw An Yi biting a big cake and standing in front of the sand table with a cup of soy milk, Hu Jialin, Lu Yixuan, the commander of the 17th Division, and Yan Yaohuan, the deputy commander of the 44th Division, were standing around An Yi respectively, as if they were discussing something in a low voice.

Zhao Rui was just about to walk over, the staff officer on duty came over and reported in a low voice, Zhao Rui nodded and commanded, strode to the opposite side of An Yi and the others, nodded to Hu Jialin and the others, turned to An Yi and said, "There is a distinguished guest downstairs waiting for the commander to meet him." ”

"Who......"

An Yi hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth.

Zhao Rui said with a smile: "It's Miss Ye Qingye, a reporter from the Party Daily." ”

An Yi grinned: "It's really time for her to come...... Xiao Jiu, instructed the canteen to prepare, it is estimated that Miss Ye did not eat. ”

"Yes."

All the brothers smiled heartily, knowing the good relationship between An Yi and Ye Qing, so they all urged him to go to meet the guests quickly, and Hu Zi said that it was no big deal anyway, just discuss it with a few brothers.

An Yi also shook his head and smiled, poured half a cup of soy milk, wiped his mouth, and walked out of the command headquarters alone.

Ye Qing saw An Yi walking down the wide staircase, his face was full of joy, but he didn't dare to cross the two gendarmes on duty who were standing straight at the top of the stairs, and was about to complain, An Yi's voice had already come: "Sister Qing is here, why don't you call your younger brother in advance?" ”

Ye Qing pretended to be annoyed and glared at his crescent-like eyes: "You have such a big shelf, you have three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry from outside the gate of the compound, which is much more than Chairman Jiang!" ”

An Yi couldn't help but say: "Don't be angry, let's go, you must not have eaten, otherwise where would you get a stomach full of resentment?" “

Ye Qing laughed "poof", followed An Yi through the corridor behind the stairs, entered the courtyard, and came to the wide cafeteria without saying a few words, and found a place to sit down.

Ye Qing glanced at the low-ranking officers who were eating in twos and threes, and saw that everyone was in a hurry and had no time to pay attention to himself, so he quietly waited for An Yi to arrange lunch for him.

After a while, An Yi brought hot tea and put it in front of Ye Qing: "Sister Qing just came back from the Gubeikou line?" ”

"I can't hide anything from you cunning fox."

Ye Qing took a sip of tea and picked up the cup to keep warm: "Don't talk about this, tell me honestly, where did you hide Sister Qian?" ”

An Yi said calmly: "Before the younger brother went north, I received a call from the eldest sister, saying that she would go back to her hometown with Mother Wu to settle down, and when she was done, she would go to southern Sichuan to live and enter the younger brother's research institute to work. Because the military affairs are too busy, the younger brother can only follow the eldest sister's wishes if he tells a few words. ”

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a look of disbelief: "Little brother, don't lie to my sister, my intuition tells me that there must be some secret agreement between you and Sister Qian, otherwise how could it be so mysterious and secretive, even I would hide it?" ”

"This paragraph is so busy, are you still in the mood to think about such a trivial matter? Let me tell you, what the little brother just said was the truth, and I also wanted to know what Sister Qian was doing and what she was thinking, but at this time, in this kind of place, in the face of little Japan with teeth and claws, what do you say the little brother can do? ”

An Yi saw the cook bring the food and a big bowl of bone broth, turned slightly sideways, asked him to put things in order, refused the dishes and chopsticks given to him by the cook, and whispered that he had eaten.

Ye Qing looked hungry, unceremoniously picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate, ate two bowls of rice in a row, and drank a bowl of soup, then wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and his charming face was also flushed with beauty due to the calorie supplement.

"By the way, General Wang Yizhe of the 107th Division of Gubeikou asked me to give you a message and ask if you can support them with the equipment of a mortar company? He said that you have helped them a lot of the Northeast Army, and I beg you to be sorry at this time, but the 107th Division lacks mortars, the defensive firepower is quite weak, and the headquarters cannot solve the problem for them, and he also said that they can pay according to the price as much as they want. I thought of his helpless and sad face, which was pitiful, so I agreed to give him a message. Ye Qing obviously believed An Yi's words and did not continue to entangle Gong Qian.

An Yi thought about it and agreed: "The 107th Division is not easy, after the 918 Incident, it was defeated in Shenyang, and it was not able to form an army, and the headquarters returned to the customs to count most of the number of people, after these months of hard work, it was finally formed again, but it has lost its original combat effectiveness, not only lack of equipment, but also lack of training.

Wang Yizhe is a conceited man who does not ask for help easily, and he can let Sister Qing intercede on his behalf, it seems that he is indeed in a hurry, originally the younger brother wanted to arrange the independent division behind the side of the 107th Division, but the Northeast Army went up to the young marshal, the middle to the commander of Wang Yizhe, and down to the ordinary soldiers, all biting their cheeks and swearing to wash their shame, and would never let my Central Army go up first, so the younger brother did not insist. Originally, the younger brother wanted to wait for the independent division to go up and then support them with some equipment, since Wang Yizhe was so anxious, tomorrow I will let the quartermaster department give priority to solve the problem, and if it really can't work, let the 44th Division, which is the reserve, give up more than 20 mortars first, and I will find a way to let the Xiangxi factory transfer a batch to supplement it as soon as possible. ”

Ye Qing smiled with satisfaction, and just wanted to praise An Yi for a few words, when he saw Liu Qing striding over, lying in An Yi's ear and whispering.

The smile on An Yi's face disappeared instantly, and he stood up and said apologetically to Ye Qing: "Sister Qing, there is urgent military affairs, the junior brother must rush to the young marshal, if Sister Qing is tired, rest first, and the junior brother will talk to Sister Qing in detail when he comes back." ”

"I'll go into town with your car, okay? My luggage was left in a hotel in the city, and my mission was to follow the various departments of the Central Army to conduct interviews, so it was more convenient to stay here. Ye Qing asked.

"Okay, let's go."

An hour later, An Yi's special car drove into the marshal's mansion, the young marshal and two henchmen were already waiting at the door of the hall, and received An Yi back indoors together, Liu Qianshan looked at the map and informed An Yi of the important information he had just obtained:

"Two hours ago, our front-line intelligence group sent back an urgent report for the third time, which has confirmed that a wing of the Eighth Division of the Kwantung Army that boarded the train has indeed driven to the direction of Chaoyang, and the other wing is preparing for departure in the city, and the headquarters of the Eighth Division shows signs of relocation. We have come to the preliminary conclusion that the 8th Division of the Japanese Army is likely to be the main division responsible for attacking the front line of Chengde. ”

An Yi no longer had any doubts, and couldn't help but worry about the mixed brigade led by Gu Changfeng, if a wing of the Eighth Division was stationed in Chaoyang, the entire battle plan would have to be reversed. Again, this sudden change has already exposed the strategic purpose of the Japanese army, at least partially exposed, because the Eighth Division left Yixian and advanced westward, which also proved that the direction of the Japanese army's western attack was either Chengde or Dunhua, so that the prototype of the Japanese army's three-way offensive can be seen.

The young marshal saw An Yi staring at the map, his face changed, and he pondered for a moment and suggested in a low voice: "Since this is the case, I have to let General Gu Changfeng lead his troops back, the military situation has changed, and it is no longer meaningful to raid Chaoyang, which is twice as strong as himself, and Yang Jiuxiao's detachment also has to quickly adjust its plan, whether to give up or give up, there is no need to make senseless sacrifices." ”

An Yi still didn't speak, and only raised his head for a while before he asked Liu Qianshan: "Brother Qianshan, how many bridges are there on the ninety-two kilometers of railway from Yixian to Chaoyang, and is the largest one the Linghe Iron Bridge to the west of Jinling Temple?" ”

Liu Qianshan immediately understood what An Yi meant: "Exactly, this iron bridge is eighty-five meters long, but it is closely guarded by the Japanese garrison brigade in Daban Town, and it is not ordinarily difficult to blow up the iron bridge in just a few hours." Due to the frequent attacks on railways, bridges and transit stations in Northeast China by volunteers from all walks of life over the past year, the Japanese army's defense of these important targets has been doubled. ”

As long as we seize the time to launch a lightning strike, the Japanese army will have a lot of worries, and it is likely that it will reassess the resistance of the Western Front and the losses that may be incurred, thus affecting the two Japanese troops north of Shanhaiguan to Xifengkou, even if it cannot achieve the expected results, it can temporarily disrupt the Japanese army's plan and force the Japanese army to carry out a major adjustment of the overall situation or the western front.

"Brother, Brother Qianshan, please see, this is Kunshan at the southern foot of the Great Black Mountain, a brigade of Yang Jiuxiao is hidden here, it is only twenty kilometers away from the Linghe Iron Bridge, it is said that although the road is narrow but easy to walk. Looking at Yixian County again, because this railway is old and has not been well repaired once, and the small station within 60 kilometers west of Jianzhi County has been attacked and damaged by our anti-Japanese volunteers several times, the train will definitely not go fast, and it is remarkable that it can move at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, so there is an opportunity in terms of time. An Yi's eyes were shining, and his gaze was blazing.

The young marshal and Liu Qianshan glanced at each other, turned to An Yi and asked solemnly, "Brother Xian has made up your mind?" ”

An Yi nodded heavily: "For the sake of the overall situation, there is no hesitation!" Yang Jiuxiao's detachment is an excellent team, and it is well equipped, and it is also very rich in combat experience, and it has the ambition to serve the family and country. The younger brother will also tell them that if they fail to complete the task of blowing up the Linghe Bridge, they will also lose the qualification to obtain the official number of the Military Commission, and I think they will appreciate our good intentions. ”

The young marshal sighed and nodded heavily: "Okay, the foolish brother will also try his best to cooperate with them." Qianshan, give an order to the brothers in Beipiao City, let them be ready to attack at any time, and successfully become a benevolent man! ”

"Yes!"
