Chapter 159: The Problem of Lines of Communication
Arthur smiled: "What Commander Xia said, follow the local customs, the Japanese are very gentle." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
At this time, the Japanese woman came up to greet him in Chinese and invited him to sit down for tea.
Hans asked Arthur again, "Is this okay?" ”
Arthur laughed, "You talk, if it doesn't work, you can go." So saying, he went out and closed the door for him.
Arthur returns to the club and continues to drink with Bergman, and soon he discovers that the lights in Hans's room are off. The two smiled heartily and continued to drink.
Since Tang Enbo abandoned Shangqiu, the Shandong base area has truly severed its contact with the outside world.
Xia Chao thought that Hans's method would not be convenient to use in the future. As long as the Japanese sent a force and attacked it posing as bandits, no matter how powerful Germany was, there was no way. The only way to do that was to reconnect with Towne.
Xia Chao sent a telegram to the Military Commission, saying two things, the first thing was to prevent the Japanese army from capturing Guangzhou. The second thing is that he wants to launch the Battle of Shangqiu and open up the connection with Tang Enbo's department.
Chairman Chiang received the telegram and urgently convened an operational meeting.
Bai Chongxi said: "The Japanese army will land in Daya Bay, how do you know about the summer tide? ”
Chairman Jiang said: "Don't ask, the information provided by Tianchao has always been accurate. Now, let's study the question of how to defend Guangzhou. ”
Li Zongren said: "Yu Hanmou should be notified immediately and heavy troops should be sent to defend Daya Bay." ”
Chairman Jiang nodded in agreement.
Soon, Yu Hanmou called and said that he had mobilized troops to deploy troops in Daya Bay, but, considering the strength of the Japanese navy, he asked for instructions, in case the Japanese army could not be prevented from landing, how to deal with it?
At this time, Xia Chao sent a telegram pointing out that the troops in Guangdong should stay away from the beachhead and guard against the Japanese naval guns. At the landing site of the Japanese army, a large number of mines were laid, and small units were sent to defend on a mobile basis. Defend key points during the day and counterattack at night.
The Japanese army will not have a lot of troops, and as long as it is a war of attrition, it will be able to break up the Japanese offensive.
Everyone agreed with him. Chairman Jiang instructed that the original text of Xia Chao's telegram be forwarded to Yu Hanmou.
Next, they agreed to Xia Chao's campaign plan to open up the connection between Henan and Shandong, and let Xia Chao and Tang Enbo make specific contacts.
If the Japanese captured Guangzhou, the sea lanes of Chinese mainland would be cut off. The next step is to take the passage from Yunnan to Myanmar. Thanks to the treaty of friendship between the Soviet Union and Japan, this passage was the only international passage in the future.
Chairman Chiang and others began to pay attention to this issue. Xia Chao also began to pay attention to this issue.
Xia Chao sent a telegram to Tang Enbo, proposing a plan for the battle of Shangqiu. Tang Enbo was reluctant to carry out this plan, in which case he would face directly with the southward troops of the Japanese North China Front.
The summer tide was helpless and proposed that the campaign be carried out by the 35th Army. After the capture of Shangqiu, Shangqiu was controlled by the 35th Army.
Tang Enbo was reluctant again, and he didn't want to give up Shangqiu. He agreed to send troops to contain the Japanese army in the direction of Kaifeng, on the condition that Shangqiu would be captured and still taken over by him.
Summer tide doesn't care about him, as long as he can maintain contact with the rear.
In early November, Xu Feihu commanded the main force of the Huben Army and launched the Battle of Shangqiu. After two days of fierce fighting, a wing of the Japanese army was annihilated and the connection with Henan was reopened.
Cui Xiaobao, who was in Wuhan, received a telegram from the summer tide and went to Yunnan.
As early as February 38, Xia Chao asked Cui Xiaobao to set up a large transportation company in Kunming, called Cui's Transportation Company. There are as many as 1,870 trucks produced in the United States such as the three-ton Chevrolet, the three-ton Ford, the 3.5-ton Dodge, and the 4.5-ton Grand International. It is the largest private transportation company in Kunming.
At that time, the Yunnan-Burma Highway had not yet been built, and such a large-scale transportation company had been losing money. Now that the Yunnan-Burma Highway has been built, Cui Xiaobao found that this decision was too wise.
In just two months, the company has turned losses into profits, and it has greatly facilitated the transportation of materials for the 35th Group Army. Now, many people, including people from the four major families, want to get involved in this business, but they are too late to do it.
Cui Xiaobao came to Kunming, and Long Yun's sixth son, Long Shenyuan, and his youngest daughter, Long Guobi, picked him up at the Longfengyuan Hotel.
Long Shenyuan said: "Xiaobao, our transportation company has made a fortune. You don't know, my eldest brother's bowels are almost green with regret now. My father also praised me for my vision. ”
It turned out that Cui Xiaobao had come to Yunnan many times before, and specially handed over Long Shenyuan, and in order to open up the situation in Kunming, he specially gave him two percent of the shares of the transportation company.
At the beginning, because there were other ports on the mainland, everyone was not very optimistic about the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Now that it's the only transportation artery, wouldn't it be strange not to get rich?
Long Guobi is 17 years old and has a good-looking baby face. She is petite and delicate, with fair skin, and a standard beauty blank. Among the elder brothers, she is the closest to the sixth dragon rope yuan, and often hangs out together.
Every time Cui Xiaobao comes to Kunming, he can see her, and Cui Xiaobao likes this girl.
Cui Xiaobao can speak well, and he has the identity of a general, and soon won the favor of Long Guobi.
Cui Xiaobao followed the title of Long Shengyuan and said: "Little sister, I specially asked someone to bring you a gift from Germany this time, you can take a look." As he spoke, he beckoned, and his orderlies brought a large number of gifts.
Long Guobi likes it very much. She doesn't care what the gift is, she just likes Cui Xiaobao to give her a gift.
Long Guobi said: "Brother Xiaobao, the last time you went to our school to pick me up, did your classmates praise you?" ”
Cui Xiaobao smiled and said, "What are you praising me?" ”
Long Guobi smiled: "It is said that you look festive." ”
"Huh?" Cui Xiaobao pretended to be surprised and said, "Are you praising me?" ”
Long Guobi smiled: "It must be." People say you look like me. ”
Cui Xiaobao smiled: "That's it, this is husband and wife, the two of us are destined." ”
Long Guobi smiled: "Who is married to you?" I'm not ashamed. ”
Long Rope Yuan said: "I think it's like. ”
Long Guobi said: "No kidding, your classmates praise you for being young and promising, you are a general at such a young age." ”
Cui Xiaobao said proudly: "Our brothers are all generals now. If my brother Tian hadn't resigned, he would have been a second-class general by now. ”
Long Guobi said with some fascination: "I heard that Xia Chao looks very handsome, right?" ”
Cui Xiaobao said: "A little more handsome than me." ”
Long Guobi smiled: "Yes, you are very handsome." ”
Cui Xiaobao said: "Sixth, do you have anything to do with Yangon?" ”
Long Shenyuan said: "It's okay, why are you asking this?" ”
Cui Xiaobao said: "My brother asked me to open the joints of the British, and a large number of supplies in the future will pass through Yangon, so I must say hello in advance." ”
