Chapter 506: The Battle of Yizhou I
Nanjing, Office of the Chairman of the Military Commission. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Xinghan is working as usual, although the battle to recover Yizhou is now in full swing preparations, but there are still many things that the country's four major front armies need to deal with every day.
Zhang Xinghan was lying on his desk and was busy, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and when he looked up, he saw that Guo Zhong, the chief of the guard, had walked in quickly.
"Yes, the Japanese dispatch force has just sent a telegram to report that they have easily captured the main island of Ryukyu Island, and the troops are currently marching towards other islands such as Naha Port.
It is expected that in the next three days, all the Ryukyu Islands ~ pig ~ pig ~ island ~ novel can be captured, and five days can reach the Taiwan Strait to participate in the war. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan put down the pen in his hand, covered a document, stood up and said: "Very good, immediately send a telegram to General Xue Yue, urging him to speed up his actions, and before our troops are all assembled, we can first capture the large and small Kinmen Islands and the Penghu Islands, and isolate the Japanese troops on the island of Taiwan."
Efforts should be made to simultaneously carry out beach-rushing landings on Taiwan from two directions after five days. ”
"Yes." Guo Zhong suddenly stood up and responded, and then turned around and took the order.
………………
Not long after Guo Zhong left, Shen Xingye walked in in high spirits, saluted Zhang Xinghan and said, "Commission, Cheng Bin and they have already succeeded, and they are secretly escorting Dai Lilai to Ning!" ”
"Well, we must pay attention to confidentiality, and we must not gain and lose." Zhang Xinghan praised the festival.
"Rest assured, no one has yet been able to rescue the arrested prisoners from the lowly Secrecy Bureau." Shen Xingye patted his chest and reassured.
"Very good, once Dai Li comes to Nanjing, release him immediately, remember to inform the China Daily to send someone to report on this matter, and we must make our unconditional release of him public." Zhang Xinghan instructed.
Shen Xingye was surprised when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Commissioner, you said to release Dai Li?" ”
"Yes, release him." Zhang Xinghan replied.
"But. The most effective, direct, and fastest way to defeat the Military Command Bureau is to get rid of Dai Li.
You just don't want to kill him, and you don't have to let him go, there are 10,000 ways to let Dai Li never have a chance to go out of the mountain to take charge of the military command from now on.
Once Dai Li's hat is lost, a huge military commander will fall into a situation where the dragons are leaderless, and at that time, the lowly position only needs a little means to take it for its own use.
After all, their intelligence network has been established for a long time. After annexation, it can greatly increase our strength and facilitate the infiltration and deployment of our intelligence network to foreign countries in the future.
It will be further improved so as to facilitate the expansion of the party-state in the future. Shen Xingye said.
Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly: "Yizhi, sometimes if you want to get rid of a person, you don't have to kill this option.
Chairman Chiang is a suspicious person, imagine if he knew that after Dai Li's capture, he would be released by us safe and sound.
Will he still trust him as much as he used to? ”
Shen Xingye pondered when he heard this. Then he suddenly realized: "I understand my humble position, I want to use the hand of Chairman Jiang to get rid of Dai Li." ”
"Not exactly." Zhang Xinghan smiled indifferently and said: "Dai Li, this person is a natural talent for agents, once Chairman Jiang is suspicious, he will have no way out. Maybe I can take him for myself.
In the final analysis, if you want to truly control the Military Command Bureau, you have to wear a hat. Zhang Xinghan plans to do this, so he naturally has his own purpose.
That is. Accept Dai Li and his Military Command Bureau for his own use, in order to counterbalance the growing power of Shen Xingye's Secrecy Bureau.
Today's Northeast Frontier Army's Secret Bureau, its power has grown too rapidly. Now Zhang Xinghan can still control them with his absolute personal prestige.
However, in the future, with the passage of time, the Secrecy Bureau continued to infiltrate the military and political systems throughout the country, and its own power continued to expand.
No one knows if there will be any chaos, and the secret intelligence agency has always been a double-edged sword.
If it is used well, it will be of great benefit to consolidate political power and win wars, otherwise, it is very likely to become a source of chaos in the country.
Isn't the famous Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei in history the best example?
Zhang Xinghan is a time-traveler, and he still knows a little about some things that happened in history.
Now that he is in a high position, he needs to think about more than just expanding the territory of the country and making contributions.
It is also necessary to do more to balance and maintain the forces of his subordinates and prevent the family from becoming bigger.
Maintaining the balance of the forces of all the subordinates is something that kings, those in power, and those in power must do.
If anything gets out of balance, it is likely to lead to unpredictable and catastrophic consequences.
Hearing Zhang Xinghan say this, Shen Xingye, who was still loyal to him at the moment, of course didn't think much about it, so he had to bow his head and say yes.
In fact, any betrayal does not happen at the beginning, but only erupts as the strength in his hands increases more and more, and his ambition continues to expand.
Shen Xingye can be regarded as an old subordinate who followed him, and followed him during the defense of Shenyang, and his loyalty to Zhang Xinghan is beyond doubt.
Zhang Xinghan did this as a precaution.
………………
Ryukyu Island, Port of Naha.
In the sky, about 30 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers belonging to the Japanese dispatch force, under the cover of more than 20 Zero fighters, were carrying out an all-round heavy bombardment of military facilities in Naha Port.
With the shrill and piercing roar of falling bombs, the entire port of Naha was engulfed in flames.
In the deafening explosion, the ground shook.
In the sea of fire, the indescribable devil soldiers were on fire, and they were running away with wolves and ghosts.
In the violent explosion, the defense facilities that the devils had operated for many years were blown apart and destroyed.
Some devil soldiers stubbornly held machine guns and strafed the air, but the Chinese fighters, whether they were Zero fighters or Flying Fortress bombers, flew extremely fast.
Where could their crooked-handled machine guns shoot at a rapid pace, all the bullets were missed.
Immediately afterward, the devil soldiers were horrified to find that two Chinese fighters were rapidly diving towards them.
Before they could dodge, four dazzling tongues of fire shot out from both sides of the plane.
"Puff, puff, puff......" Several devil soldiers who were shooting in the air were beaten into two pieces on the spot by a dense and powerful rain of courseing machine gun bullets.
Farther away, the surviving anti-aircraft machine-gun positions were stubbornly unleashing a rain of anti-aircraft bombs that were not too dense.
But it failed to shoot down a single Chinese fighter or bomber, and was engulfed in a violent explosion.
The bombing continued for more than an hour until the entire port of Naha was almost in ruins.
However. Not long after the air raid ended, a large group of Chinese Navy warships appeared outside the port.
There were also several teams of tanks and combat vehicles on the road, guiding a large number of Chinese soldiers to flock to the road.
Groups of Marines rode the waves in landing craft.
Under the attack of the Chinese army and navy from both sides, the remnants of the devils in the port of Naha put up only an extremely weak resistance before they were all wiped out.
With the successful capture of the port of Naha, it was marked that all the important islands and ports of the Ryukyu Islands had been incorporated into the territory of the Republic of China.
Many of the remaining small islands are uninhabited, and the strength of the Japanese garrison on the islands is almost negligible.
………………
The Battle of the Ryukyu Islands was progressing very smoothly at the same time as the Fujian front.
Xue Yue, who had just flown from Wuhan to Fujian, took his adjutant guards with him. Hurriedly rushed to the general headquarters of the Taiwan Attack Campaign, which had already been established.
In order to facilitate the command of the troops, Xue Yue's headquarters was set up on Xiamen Island, which was across the sea from Kinmen Island.
Since Japan's occupation of Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, Kinmen Island has also been included in the Treaty of Shimonoseki.
So for nearly a century, it was under Japanese rule.
In the headquarters of Xiamen Island, with the arrival of Xue Yue, this command is officially sound.
Officers of all levels of the border guards in Fujian gathered together, and many of them were from the 19th Route Army that year.
There is a lot of disagreement with a central faction general like Xue Yue.
Therefore, Xue Yue's arrival was not warmly welcomed. Some are just coping lukewarm.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward and cold.
Xue Yue was a smart person, and he could naturally understand what these people were thinking.
Therefore, he did not rush to discuss the war, but came to the first place. Holding the conference table with both hands, he looked around at the senior generals present.
He smiled and said, "Colleagues, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
There was no enthusiastic reaction from the crowd, and some even turned their heads with a soft snort.
Xue Yuebing was not angry. Instead, he said unhurriedly: "Colleagues, today Xue came to the front line of Fujian Province and was responsible for supervising and commanding the battle to recover Yizhou.
Before we officially start talking about the military. There are some things that I don't spit out and don't feel unhappy.
First of all, this battle to recover Yizhou is a sacred battle for the shame of the country and the nation, and to defend the inherent territorial integrity of the Chinese nation.
It is not a battle for any personal selfish gain.
Therefore, I hope that all my colleagues present here can put the overall situation first, share this feat, and cooperate sincerely to recover the lost territory of the Taiwan archipelago and other areas that have been lost for many years.
If we fail to live up to their expectations, we will become sinners of the Chinese nation.
Therefore, here, I have an ugly saying in the front, if anyone does not put the country first and cares about the gains and losses of personal grievances, do not blame Xue for ignoring the righteousness of his colleagues.
Before Xue came to Xiamen, Commander-in-Chief Zhang sent me a secret telegram, granting Xue all the right to make decisions, and anyone who disrespects military orders can be dealt with on the spot in accordance with military law, and will not be tolerated. ”
