"The enemy knows our cards, which of course is a bad thing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But if we can take advantage of the situation and give the enemy the illusion that our army is gone, and use this illusion to give the enemy a great war of annihilation, then the bad thing will become a good thing. ”

When the cadres heard Ishikawa's words, their eyes lit up, their faces lit up, and they looked at Ishikawa together and listened to him continue.

"Our idea is to deploy troops of the Dongyue Military Region on the northern front to take advantage of the favorable terrain in the Dongyue Mountains to organize multi-layered defenses and obstruct and delay the enemy's southward movement into the Dongyue Mountains on the northern front. On the southern front, I concentrated two divisions and attached local troops to disguise themselves as the main force to overhaul field fortifications on the south bank of the Lu River. At the same time, we again organized the local troops of the Luhe Military Region to erect pontoon bridges over the canal and feint to attack Yuncheng, an important town in the southwest of the enemy, so as to give the enemy the false impression that our army was trying to seize the road and flee westward. In this way, the enemy will take it for granted that our army is exhausted, and in order to maintain its strength, it has no choice but to break the cauldron and sink the boat, fight against the water, fight if it wins, and retreat to the west if it cannot win. Therefore, in order to destroy our army, the enemy will make multiple assaults and quickly penetrate into the depth of our army to encircle and annihilate us. However, when the enemy's assault force was inserted into the rear of our army, the main force of our army, which had been hidden for a long time, took the opportunity to kill and annihilate the enemy on the north bank of the Lu River in one fell swoop! ”

The cadres smiled excitedly and whispered to each other. After a while, a thin Huanghuai cadre asked, "What if the Dongyue Military Region can't stop the enemy's attack on the northern front, causing the enemy to drive straight into our city and rush to our Luhe City at once?" ”

Ishikawa smiled, "The enemy of the northern front from the northern line to the Lu River, in the middle of which has to pass through the Dongyue Mountain, the commander of the 73rd Army, Lu Wen, is a native of Dongyue Mountain, he knows that this place has always been a place for soldiers to fight, which is not conducive to the movement of large troops but is conducive to defending and setting up ambushes. The 46th Army is the Guangxi Army, and the 12th Army is the Northeast Army. Of course, just in case, I propose that Comrade Ding Yicheng directly command the northern front blockade. ”

The cadres nodded, and at this time, Ding Yicheng coughed lightly and began to speak. He was over half a hundred years old, his sideburns were gray, and he had a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his high nose. "If the enemy on the southern front does not advance to the depth of our army, but pushes forward head-on, won't our ambush plan be in vain?"

Gu Yu smiled, "During the entire World War II, only the wealthy American army engaged in frontal flat pushing, which consumed too much ammunition and achieved little effect. The Kuomintang has a small capital, and it can't afford to consume so much ammunition, and it can't afford to put a big boss! ”

A square-faced Jianghuai cadre asked with some unease: "What if the enemy neither advances nor pushes flat, but just bluffs and tries to drag us down?" ”

Gu Yu gestured, "If there are not a few traitors, maybe the enemy will really stand still." But when the enemy figured out our cards, they wanted to take the plunge. Because they understand that standing still at this time is tantamount to giving us time to digest difficulties and resolve contradictions. To be honest, we now want them to stand still more than the enemy. ”

Ishikawa continued: "Even if Chen Mosong wanted to stand still, Chiang Kai-shek would not agree. Chiang Kai-shek was forced to launch an immediate offensive for two reasons: first, his almost hysterical anti-communist nature. Second, the Huang-Huai-Hai Theater contains the lower reaches of China's two major rivers, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and these two downstream areas are like the dragons of two giant dragons. Looking at Chinese history, the one who wins the leader wins the world. If our Huang-Huai-Hai troops are eliminated, the enemy's eastern regions will be connected together, and a situation of encirclement will be formed in the liberated areas of our north, central, and northwest China. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek will never allow us to sleep soundly next to his couch. ”

At this time, the Huanghuai cadre just now asked: "The key to this annihilation battle is the blocking battle on the south bank of the Lu River. ”

Chang Ge was very unhappy when he heard this, he stood up on the ground and said with a serious expression: "Since the outbreak of the self-defense war, our Jianghuai First Division has fought several blocking battles, and the most recent one we held out for thirteen days. This time, I didn't dare to say anything else, and it would be no problem to hold on for another thirteen days! I can't hold it for thirteen days, and I'm to blame. Speaking of this, he glared at the cadre, "If I can't eat the enemy in thirteen days, may I ask, can this crime still be counted on my head?" ”

"Okay, happy!" A burly Huanghuai cadre opposite Chang Ge slapped the table and also stood up. He is Ye Delin, who was originally the deputy head of the old regiment. In 1940, when the old regiment went south to the Longhai Railway, he was left in the Huanghuai area and is now a division commander of the Huanghuai Army. His eyes flashed excitedly at this moment: "Please give the main attack task to our 10th Division organizationally, if you can't complete the task, I'll carry my own head!" ”

After Ye Delin sat down, Ishikawa stood up at this time, his face was a little ashamed, "After Comrade Jianghuai withdrew to Huanghuai, because the banknotes of the two families were not common, he had many conflicts with Comrade Huanghuai. I have already discussed with the person in charge of the Huanghuai Bank, and they are working with the Jianghuai Bank on a plan for the exchange rate of two banknotes, which will be announced and implemented tomorrow. In other words, Comrade Jianghuai will be able to exchange Huanghuai coins tomorrow. ”

The sky was overcast and the vegetation was withered. Some of the yellowed and withered leaves were blown into the air from the branches by the howling northwest wind, tumbled back and forth a few times, and fell to the stiff and whitish fields, but were soon blown up by the wind again. A few leaves ended up in the frozen pond, where they were stuck to the crystal ice and never picked up again.

Soldiers in gray uniforms and fellows in variegated clothes are digging and repairing fortifications with pickaxes and shovels. Everyone's faces were flushed, and their mouths couldn't stop babbling. It was freezing cold, and it was not easy to dig up the frozen soil. The northwest wind blew on the body, and there was really a piercing pain. However, due to the encouragement of the South Bank Resistance Battle and the victory in the battle to fight for Hu, everyone was particularly energetic. Some fighters are energetic. simply took off his cotton clothes. Gradually, trenches were dug out.

Several cooks in white aprons came from the village in the distance, each carrying a yellowed bamboo pole on their shoulders, and a wooden bucket with a round lid at each end. As soon as they got to the position, they shouted: "Comrades, have worked hard, come and drink hot soup to warm up, oh, and pancake rolls and green onions." ”

The warriors threw down their tools and approached the cooks. The cook put down his burden and lifted the lid, and hot white gas suddenly came out of it.

Xiao Jiang held a pancake in one hand and a soup bowl in the other, walked to a poplar tree and sat down, eating pancakes and drinking soup at the same time. Not far from him, Feng Tao stood on the edge of the trench, drinking soup while saying to everyone: "Comrades must eat and drink well, and do things well and fight well." In this way, we can quickly move on to a counteroffensive. ”

When Xiao Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but slip out of his mouth: "Counterattack and counterattack, go to the north." Hold a pancake in your hand and bite a green onion. The mood is not smooth, and the mind is not clear. Do you have any opinions, I want to go back to Central China. ”

After eating and drinking, Xiao Jiang put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and was just about to get up, when he looked up and saw a cadre wearing glasses and a yellow military uniform with his hands behind his back, staring at him. "Stop, what did you just say?"
