Section 10 Storm 26
Then Zhuang Jihua gave out all the plans he had drawn up, and he asked the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighty-ninth Army and the New Fourth Army to assemble, and at least two group armies of Fu Zuoyi's Department and the Jin Army to attack Zhangjiakou from the north; Liu Deng's troops, together with Xu Qianqian and the Jin army, bypassed Shijiazhuang and launched an attack on Baoding. \、Qb⑤.coM\
"With the cooperation of these two roads, Tang Enbo will lead the 31st Group Army and Wei Lihuang's Department to attack Shijiazhuang from the front; However, the main direction of our army's attack is on the middle line, and the First Mechanized Group Army, the Fifth Group Army, the New First Army, the New Sixth Army, and the First Independent Tank Division will launch an offensive on the front line of Shenzhou and Wuqiang, tearing apart the Japanese defense line from the middle; The right flank will be the focus of the Japanese army's defense, and the first line of our army's Cangzhou Dexian will gather the First Group Army, the 36th Group Army, the 22nd Group Army, and the 50th Group Army, with a total strength of 400,000; The 49th Group Army, the 24th Group Army, the newly formed 51st Group Army, and the Second Group Army were reserves; The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Air Force, the Sino-American Joint Air Group, are responsible for providing air cover. ”
"In this operation, we have invested a total of nearly 2 million ground troops, 2,200 tanks, 1,600 armored vehicles, 600 self-propelled artillery, more than 40,000 artillery pieces of various types, and 1,700 aircraft.
"And when are you going to attack?" Deng Yanda was a little excited, to be honest, he didn't expect that the equipment of the Chinese army was already so strong, but there was a trace of dark clouds between Zhou Enlai's eyebrows, after the war, the strength of the Kuomintang army would reach an unprecedented height, which made Chiang Kai-shek's attitude bound to become tougher, and the pressure on the CCP would also be unprecedented.
"My idea is that the later the appointment, preferably in the spring of next year," Zhuang Jihua sighed softly: "This is the last large-scale attack, if we can annihilate the main force of the Japanese army in the North China Plain, the war will end within a year." ”
"Next spring?" Deng Yanda frowned, the Japanese army is sending troops from various battlefields to reinforce North China, at this rate, at most, it will be the end of the year, and all of them can be assembled in place, and then there will be three months of free time, and the Japanese will remain motionless and let the Chinese army prepare?
"The key to achieving this goal is up to us," Zhuang said, "and if the dispute between the two parties subsides, it is very likely to be established, and Okamura Ninji is not a fool, and it is impossible for him not to be unaware of the number of troops we have gathered around North China." ”
"Cultural Revolution," Zhou ENLAI still frowned slightly: "To launch an attack in the spring, of course, the logistical preparations are more adequate, in addition to this, are there any other considerations?" ”
Zhuang Jihua nodded: "The main thing is post-war reconstruction, you know, in the past year or so, we have fought from Hubei to North China, and the war refugees have reached millions, which has caused very serious financial pressure on the government." After this large-scale war, the number of refugees in North China is estimated to be in the millions, and the government will not have the financial resources to provide relief, and by next spring, after the grain harvest in Liangguang and Guangzhou, the situation will be better, at least so that people will not starve to death. ”
Deng Yanda and Zhou ENLAI nodded slowly almost at the same time, admitting that Zhuang Jihua was right, the national government's financial pressure was extremely high, and the people in the rear had done their best to produce more supplies.
"According to this plan, in addition to Chen G's troops, our party will mobilize about 200,000 troops," Zhou EN said, Zhuang Jihua added that it was about 250,000, and Zhou EN nodded to show that he understood: "But our party can't take out so many troops, it's not that there are so many soldiers, the main reason is that the troops are not well equipped, I hope you can provide some equipment, and at the same time give a number." ”
Zhuang Jihua was silent and asked, "How much do you need?" ”
Zhou EN thought for a while: "The specific quantity can only be provided after consultation with the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain, but I want to know how much you can provide?" By the way, there is a clause in the agreement between you and Chen G to provide supplies to Taihang Mountain, when do you plan to realize it? ”
Zhuang Jihua smiled slightly, and Zhou Enlai also smiled slightly, the tacit understanding between the two sides was reached, and Gong Xiuhua suddenly interjected at this time: "Director Zhou, the current position of the Cultural Revolution is extremely important, if your party agrees to the post-war arrangement, it is best for everyone to cooperate now." ”
Zhou EN came to laugh: "Secretary Gong, you can rest assured of this." ”
Gong Xiuhua looked at Zhou EN and nodded slightly, still expressionless on his face. Zhuang Jihua and Deng Yanda did not say anything, this post-war plan is far more beneficial than disadvantageous to the Chinese communists, and they will not fail to consider that Zhuang Jihua is the most important link in realizing this plan.
The rain gradually thinned, and a bright color appeared in the sky, He Jinhan and Xuanxia's father were in the same boat, their boat was relatively crowded, in addition to Zhang Lan and Huang Yanpei, there were two reporters, Mei Youlan and Weber.
Along the way, Xuanxia's father was blaming the Kuomintang, and He Zhenhan resolutely counterattacked, accusing GCD of first plotting against Hao Pengju, and then using the Hao Pengju incident in an attempt to avoid war and preserve strength.
Regarding the argument between the two, Zhang Lan and Huang Yanpei interjected from time to time to persuade them, but Xuanxia's father did not give in at all, and burned the war even more vigorously, directly blaming Zhuang Jihua, believing that it was Zhuang Jihua who provoked the incident in Shandong that caused the situation that had eased in the country to become tense again. He Jinhan retorted that Hao Pengju's rebellion was instigated by GCD, and he openly sheltered Hao in this incident, which was intended to undermine the relationship between the two parties and destroy the good situation of the War of Resistance.
The flames of war burned to Zhuang Jihua, Mei Youlan immediately pulled out her sword to help, and she asked Xuanxia's father in the way of a reporter whether the Eighth Route Army would be held accountable if there was a defection like Hao Pengju in the Eighth Route Army. Xuanxia's father replied with a sneer, there was no defection in the Eighth Route Army, so this kind of thing could not happen.
Mei Youlan was speechless, it was not that there were no defections in the Eighth Route Army, but most of the defections were by individuals or small units, and there were no defections of thousands of people at all. What puzzled Mei Youlan was that the GCD cadres she met on Taihang Mountain who had been arrested in the whole party, although these people were in prison, they almost didn't have the idea of leaving GCD, which made her very puzzled.
When the painting boat stopped at the dock, Xuanxia's father and He Jinhan were still accusing each other, but when He Zhenhan saw Zhuang Jihua Deng Yanda Zhou En coming down from the painting boat leisurely, he didn't seem to have the slightest anger, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and regretted it in his heart, but he couldn't complain about others, it was he who followed Xuanxia's father on the boat.
"The negotiations between me and Mr. Zhou have yielded certain results, and the GCD will no longer pursue the matter of our army's entry into the base area of the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time, the two sides have agreed to clarify the administrative areas on both sides of the Jiaoji Line."
Zhuang Jihua announced the results of his negotiations with Zhou En to Mei Youlan and Weber, and Weber was a little curious: "General Zhuang, doesn't the Eighth Route Army have any other requirements?" Does the government compensate the Eighth Route Army? ”
"No, Hao Pengju's defection is related to national law, and the law cannot be discussed, but considering that the equipment of the New Fourth Army is extremely poor, for the sake of future operations, the North China Theater decided to provide some equipment to the First Division of the New Fourth Army."
Webb smiled knowingly, which was probably the reason the two sides were able to reach an agreement. As he was talking, a jeep stopped at the pier, Xu Zuyi got out of the car, Zhuang Jihua, Zhou Enlai, Deng Yanda, He couldn't help but look over at the same time.
As soon as the car stopped, he jumped out of the car, ran over quickly, and shouted loudly: "Commander, good news, the Soviet army launched a counteroffensive in Mongolia, broke through the Japanese defense line, recovered Ulaanbaatar, and eliminated nearly 10,000 Japanese troops."
"Oh." Zhuang Jihua, Deng Yanda, and Zhou EN exchanged glances, first a little surprised, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed, the Soviet army began to counterattack on the Eastern Front, and Japan was hit by this blow, and it was bound to dare not unscrupulously withdraw troops from the Soviet Russian battlefield.
"Now the Japanese are in a hurry." Mei Youlan walked to Zhuang Jihua's side, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Zhuang Jihua was under too much pressure, and the Japanese army pressed almost all the mobile forces on him.
Zhuang Jihua smiled, Weber was very keen, and immediately asked: "General Zhuang, what do you think of the Soviet counteroffensive?" What impact will this move have on the Chinese battlefield? ”
Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly and said: "The Soviet army's counteroffensive is naturally a great thing, but the impact on the Chinese battlefield is limited, the main attention of the Soviet army is still on the German battlefield, and the war against Japan is just a reaction to Japan's frequent transfer of troops from the Soviet Russian battlefield in the past year, and the Japanese army is weak in the Mongolian battlefield, and it is natural for the Soviet army to seize this opportunity and counterattack, but it is impossible for the Japanese to transfer troops from the Chinese battlefield to Mongolia, so the Soviet army's counteroffensive will be very smooth." ”
Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he added: "With this victory, Stalin may speak much harder in Tehran." ”
Deng Yanda and Zhou En suddenly woke up to the fact that the Soviet army's counteroffensive was probably more of a political battle, and it probably did little help to the war situation in North China.
It is no secret that the allies will hold a summit meeting in Tehran, and Chongqing officialdom, diplomatic circles, and the press corps all know about this, and Weber also knows about it.
"General Zhuang, in this way, the Soviet counteroffensive will be very smooth, is that so?"
Zhuang Jihua nodded: "As far as I know, the Japanese army has no troops in Mongolia, all the main forces are transferred to North China, and the rest are puppet army troops, I estimate that the Soviet army can fight all the way to the Sino-Soviet border." ”
However, the Soviet counteroffensive was still a great thing, and the atmosphere in Chongqing was more relaxed, and now even ordinary citizens believed that the Japanese would not last long, and there was another large map hanging in the spiritual fortress, on which the small red flags representing the Soviet army continued to increase.
The atmosphere of Huangshan villa is slightly different from that of the street, Zhuang Jihua telegraphed his judgment to Huangshan on the day he got the news, and after Chiang Kai-shek received the telegram, he quickly discussed with Lin Wei, Chen Chengbai, Chongxi Wang, and agreed with Zhuang Jihua's judgment. However, there are some differences about the battle plan provided by Zhuang Jihua.
