Chapter 1829 No regrets

Nanhua Xinjing, Xiaonanhai Zhizheng Hall Xuanwu Building Conference Room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Defense Minister Hu Jialin, Deputy Chiefs of General Staff Yang Fei, Huang Zhi, and Yang Jie, Secretary General of the Central Military Commission Deng Bin, Director of the General Office of the Central Military Commission Zhao Dongquan, Minister of National Security Du Yi, Director of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff Liu Qing, Director of the Operations Department Liu Yu, and Commander of the Garrison An Jin attended the meeting.

"North China is a more down-to-earth place for our CIA's intelligence work, as early as the victory of the Second Northern Expedition in 28, the chairman was assassinated by *** spies when he gave a speech in Beiping, and began to lay out, after 12 years of development, the current Chinese Dispatch Army and the North China Front Army have our people. In addition, the work of the various intelligence stations in Pingping and Tianjin is also relatively effective, and basically most of the information can be obtained first-hand!

"I have here a report on the latest situation from the Tianjin Intelligence Station: After Wang Jingwei arrived in Tianjin, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the war in the Pacific, the Japanese army base camp strictly prohibited all actions that might provoke the Nanjing government. However, with the resumption of the war in the Central Plains on the 11th, it was no longer possible to maintain the previous peace between China and Japan, and the importance of Wang Jingwei was mentioned again.

"It is reported that Okamura Ninji, commander of the North China Front, suggested to the Emperor and the cabinet that Wang Jingwei's prestige in the Nationalist Government should be fully utilized to win over officials in the Nationalist Government who advocate peace, split the Nationalist Government, and serve the overall strategy of the Emperor. The specific approval of the government is not yet known, but I believe that the results will come in the near future! ”

"Got it, don't mention this filthy villain again!"

An Yi shook his head, and then said, "Let me first talk about the attack that the Fifth War Zone took the initiative to launch in accordance with Chairman Jiang's orders!" Judging from all the circumstances, the results of the battle were extremely brilliant, and in one fell swoop the important towns such as Lincheng and Zaozhuang in southern Lunan were recovered, and the flames of war were spreading to the central part of Shandong, and so far, the Japanese counterattack was weak and weak.

"As soon as I got off the plane this morning, I received a telegram from General Li Delin, commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, full of praise for the performance of the 84th Army, which had been trained by us......

Seeing that the generals all showed puzzled looks, An Yi smiled and said:

"I was also confused at first, and then I remembered that this 84th Army was not the original number. Before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in order to ensure the safety of the waters of the Beibu Gulf and keep the southwest outlet open to the sea, we held a joint exercise of the army, navy and air force in Qinzhou Port.

"With the Japanese army taking the southeast coastal area, Qinzhou Port has become our only window to the outside world, so we once deployed heavy troops in Qinzhou Port, up to five independent brigades, and later Nanhua was established, with more options, we reduced the troops in Qinzhou, and only one brigade was stationed there, which is now the Qinzhou Garrison Brigade.

"Because of the visit to the exercises and from our army's previous battles, the generals of the Gui army have seen the power of modern operations, so they frequently conduct joint training with our Qinzhou garrison, and the skills and tactics of the Gui officers and soldiers have improved rapidly! During the Battle of Songhu in the 37th year, the Gui Army was newly organized into the 131st, 188th, and 1st Divisions from the troops in the above areas, and later obtained the establishment of the 84th Army.

"In the Fifth Theater, the 84th Army of the Gui Department and the 81st Army of Chen Zhibiao, which have a lot of roots with us, are the two main trump cards, but it is a pity that in the middle of 38 years, Chen Zhibiao was co-opted by Chairman Chiang, and when the troops changed guards, he suddenly went south, took the troops across the Yangtze River, joined the sequence of the Third Theater, and was ordered to form the 45th Group Army......

Hearing the traitor's name, An Jin suddenly interjected:

"This Chen Zhibiao, two-faced and three-stabbed, is completely comparable to Lu Bu in history! I heard that in order to abduct the 81st Army, he took great pains to order that all radio stations must be turned off when the troops moved in, and all the orders were transmitted by the signal corps, and it took half a month to reach the Yangtze River.

When the troops arrived in Shanghai and the communications radio station contacted the Fifth Theater Command, the Gui officers and men knew that they had been deceived. Chen Zhibiao thought that he had led the troops for many years and had a great influence on the 81 st Army, but he did not expect that not many people in the Gui family would sell his accounts, and he would immediately blow up the camp after knowing that he had been deceived.

As a result, there were nearly 40,000 people in the three divisions, and in the end, there were less than 5,000 people left around Chen Zhibiao, and these 5,000 people were still newly recruited recruits in North China. For many years, there are few cronies around, even if you can't know each other, you should be a confidant, right? As a result, there was such a big joke, I really don't know what Chairman Jiang likes about him......"

"Xiao Jin!"

An Yi glared at his younger brother who was not hiding it, and said, "Chen Zhibiao's character is not good, but he still has ability. When our model battalion was expanded into an independent regiment, it had five battalions under its jurisdiction, Ji Nan was the commander of the model battalion, Xia Jian, the commander of the first battalion, Ye Cheng, the commander of the second battalion, Hu Tou, the commander of the fourth battalion, and Chen Zhibiao was the commander of the third battalion. If Chen Zhibiao is not capable, can I rest assured that I will bring the troops to him? Are you trying to say that I don't have a vision either? ”

When An Jin heard this, he stuck out his tongue, and he smiled and stopped talking!

An Yi stood up, paced back and forth, and fell into the reminiscence of the past:

"Due to the calculation of the Gui department, the independent division Jiangbei was defeated, and our whole division was in a desperate situation, Chen Zhibiao's grandson couldn't stand the test and left us, although it was a blow to my self-confidence, but it didn't purify the team? Looking at the achievements of Jinan, Hutou, Xia Jian, and Ye Cheng, and then looking at the current situation of Chen Zhibiao, who was comparable to them at the beginning, isn't it more embarrassing that the world is impermanent?

"Xiao Jin, you are underestimating Chen Zhibiao, this person is ambitious, he actually knows very well that he can't cultivate cronies in the Gui family, so he didn't make any efforts at all. The Gui clan is different from other warlords, and the composition of the personnel is almost all Guangxi people, and people from other provinces cannot integrate into this circle at all, and even if they participate in it for a while, they will be suppressed. In 27 years, Chen Zhibiao was immediately promoted after defecting to the Gui Department, but he has not been reused, Li Delin and they have always used him as an instructor to train soldiers, even if he is a teacher and division commander, this unit will never be transferred to the front line, which prevents Chen Zhibiao from making meritorious contributions!

Chen Zhibiao knew that when he became a deserter, if he hadn't learned the skills of training soldiers in the independent division, I am afraid that Li and Bai would not even give him the job of training people, so he could only keep his head in obscurity. Unlike other troops, even if the officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses, they would return to Guangxi for reorganization, and rarely replenished people from other provinces. Before soldiers are called into the army, they have received relatively systematic primary military training in their hometowns, among which the junior officers are mostly filled by graduates of the Guangxi Military Academy, and the local concept is extremely heavy!

"I estimate that Chen Zhibiao had already thought about the consequences before taking his troops to join Chairman Chiang, but he had to fight. Fortunately, Chairman Chiang also had the intention of buying a thousand dollars, and insisted on filling up the 81st Army, which had become an empty shelf in an instant, and then shoehorned it into a reorganized Hunan Army, and the shelf of the 45th Group Army was erected!

"This Chen Zhibiao can be regarded as a gamble winner! When he was the instructor and division commander of the Gui Department, his military rank was major general, and later the army was expanded into an army, and Li Delin won the rank of lieutenant general for him. Now as the commander of the group army, with the rank of lieutenant general and general, in just over three years, he has achieved a triple jump, which can be regarded as his creation! However, this 81st Army can be regarded as completely abolished! To regain combat effectiveness, I don't know how long it will take! ”

An Yi's words made the conference room sigh for a while.

Among the people present, except for An Yi and Hu Jialin, even Yang Fei, deputy chief of general staff, is not as senior as Chen Zhi, let alone others. If Chen Zhibiao still stayed in the An Jiajun at this time, he would at least be like Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian now, and be in charge, where would he be so embarrassed as now?

An Yi was also sighing in his heart, when he suggested to Chiang Kai-shek to reuse Chen Zhibiao, he may not have a good heart, and he didn't mind being in the shadow of this kind of person who betrayed him. Originally, I thought that Chen Zhibiao would be able to draw water in a bamboo basket, but I did not expect that in the case of a mutiny in the troops, Chiang Kai-shek still gave Chen Zhibiao enough trust, and from this point of view, Chiang Kai-shek did have the grace to tolerate people, and this is also the reason why he can sit on the number one position in China -- as long as he is really talented, he dares to use it.

"Alright, let's get back to business!"

An Yi returned to his seat and sat down, and said to Chen Yu: "Director Chen, tell me about the situation in North China and the Central Plains!" I now wonder, how did the Japanese army respond to the sudden attack of the 5th theater of operations? ”

Chen Yu nodded, glanced at the file in his hand, and said loudly:

"The day before yesterday, Dianjun Liu convened a meeting of the commanders of the dispatched army in Beiping to discuss the countermeasures, and after the meeting, the minutes of the meeting were reported to the Japanese army base camp. Originally, the dispatch army thought that the reply would come soon, but who knew that it was not until yesterday afternoon that they received a confirmed reply, and the Japanese army base camp decided to transfer the Kwantung Army into the customs to participate in the war......"

Everyone's faces changed.

Hu Jialin asked with concern: "Do you know how many divisions and regiments have entered the customs?" ”

"In the first stage, there will be thirteen divisions, and if the battle situation is unfavorable, they will continue to be added until they gain the initiative on the battlefield!" Chen Yu replied with a solemn expression: "It is reported that the headquarters of the Dispatch Army has first transferred the Third Division of Chariots to the south to participate in the battle. The Japanese tank division has four battalions, 300 tanks, and 18,000 people in the division. ”

"The problem is yes, but if the front-line commander responds properly, with the strength of the fifth theater several times the strength of the Japanese army, it should be able to deal with it!"

Yang Fei analyzed: "The topography of Shandong is dominated by mountains and hills, and the landform types include mountains, hills, platforms, basins, plains, lakes and other types, especially in the central and southern regions of the current war, most of the areas are about 500 meters above sea level, and only a few mountains such as Mount Tai, Yishan, Mengshan, and Lushan stand on the mountains, forming the middle ridge of the mountain terrain. This kind of terrain is not suitable for mechanized corps operations at all, as long as the front-line generals think more about the battle, build a certain number of anti-tank trenches, and at the same time provide anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank mines, there is no big problem! ”

"Not necessarily!"

Yang Jie had a different view: "Don't just focus on Luzhong and Lunan, the enemy may also put tank troops into the Luxi area." The Luxi Plain was originally part of the Huanghuai Plain, which was formed by the alluvium of the Yellow River, and the altitude was generally about 50 meters. After the armored troops crossed the Grand Canal, they would go straight to the Longhai Railway, coerce northern Jiangsu and eastern Henan, and adopt the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao and relieve the siege of southern and southeastern Shandong. ”

"I can't rule it out!"

Huang Zhi nodded, and then changed the conversation: "However, now the chairman of the committee has placed more than 2 million troops in northern Jiangsu and eastern Henan, nearly half of which are 'security divisions', equipped with a large number of artillery, battle defense artillery and mortars, and the firepower is only stronger than the Japanese army. The only caveat is that air supremacy may not be ensured!

"Since the victory of the Battle of Songhu at the end of March 7, the Central Air Force has been complacent, in addition to some of the A26 fighters we gave at the beginning, the aviation committee led by Zhou Zhirou ordered the cheapest GI, mosquito and A25 fighters, and the bombers are mainly B1, B2 and HI (H-1) modified by the Y-1, although we also vigorously promote A26 and A27, but the Aviation Committee believes that the price is too expensive to afford!

"So far, the Central Air Force has seven hundred and twenty-six fighters, six hundred and thirty-four bombers, and one hundred and sixty-two reconnaissance aircraft, which in terms of numbers, far exceeds the Japanese air force! However, although the Japanese 1st Flying Regiment had only 790 fighters, it was equipped with Hayabusa fighters, Zero fighters, and the latest Feiyan fighters. The Falcon fighter and the Zero fighter already have a certain advantage over these fighters equipped by the Central Army Air Force, and what is even more terrifying is the newly developed Feiyan fighter.

"I heard that there are two versions of this Feiyan fighter, respectively, using German liquid-cooled engines and air-cooled engines, although the technology is not mature, there are many problems, but its speed of up to 580 km / h, 12000 meters of air limit, 16.8 m / s of climb rate, very amazing, its overall performance has surpassed our A27 fighter, although it is not as good as A28, A29 and GII fighters, but to deal with the A25 and Mosquito fighters that are now heavily equipped with the Central Army Air Force, But it's more than enough! ”

"yes!"

An Yi let out a long sigh: "The quantity seems to be terrifying, but because the Jianghan Oilfield and Nanyang Oilfield were not exploited before, and only relied on the Yumen Oilfield to provide oil, the fuel supply was extremely difficult, so the Aviation Committee strictly controlled the fuel used in the training of the Central Air Force, and the pilots had very little flight and training time, and the actual combat experience was almost zero." In such a situation, it is very difficult to deal with *** people!

"On the way back, I had already considered this issue, and immediately after returning to Xiaonanhai, I called Chairman Chiang, requesting that a large group of fighters be sent to Bengbu Airport to prepare for the Central Air Force's operation, but it was refused. The chairman said that the Central Air Force is confident that it will face the challenge on its own, and will definitely defeat the best people with an absolute superiority and give an explanation at home and abroad! ”

An Yi's answer made the conference room silent.

Now Chiang Kai-shek has reached the point of secrecy about An Yi and the army he leads, and he is afraid that An Yi will once again use the victory to expand his prestige and greatly affect his position.

Today's "Central Daily", as well as Nanjing Radio Station, almost all the news of Nanhua, however, due to the existence of Syria and South China Radio Station, coupled with the circulation of "Oriental News" far above the "Central Daily", it can be said that it is very unsuccessful.

The Anjia Army expanded its territory and greatly increased the morale of the Chinese people, and many people proudly called the Anjia Army "our army". Of course, not all of them are praised, but there are also some political parties and individuals who believe that the An Jiajun's behavior is an "imperialist act", and its occupation of Central Asia, Afghanistan, West Asia, and other places is a "naked aggression" and a "brutality against humanity", which is on the same path as Britain, France, Japan, etc., and should be resolutely condemned and stopped!

A certain newspaper even wrote an article claiming that since An Yi had established the country independently, why did he still stay in the southwest? Is this patriotism or hegemonism? Who gave another country the right country to open mines and factories on Chinese soil, to plunder resources frantically, and to squeeze the blood and sweat of the working people?

I have to say that this kind of remarks have affected a group of people very much, and now there are often hot-headed young people who are bewitched and go to the offices of the Jiangnan Group, the Oriental Group and the South Sichuan Group to protest in various places, although the staff has repeatedly explained that this is taken from the people for the people, and all the resources are used for anti-Japanese and national causes, but there are still people who do not understand, which makes An Yi once doubt whether his original choice was correct!

However, Jiang Yunshan, a think-tank who was one of An Yi's father-in-law, analyzed the situation at the end of the 37th year when An Yi consulted him -- because he led his troops to win the Battle of Songhu, Chiang Kai-shek was already deeply wary of An Yi at that time, and introducing Xu Ziliang to him was actually a kind of temptation. If An Yi does not choose to develop outward, then it is very likely that he will be completely suppressed by Chiang Kai-shek next!

Chiang Kai-shek was sure that An Yi was unwilling to fight a civil war and let the fisherman benefit, and he was very confident that An Yi would follow the path he had formulated. Sure enough, An Yi sensed Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, and then An Jiajun was "invited" to enter Annan and "liberate" the people there! Subsequently, Annan, which had just become independent, needed a righteous name, and the founding of the country was the best choice to deal with all this!

Judging from the current results, this choice has greatly stimulated and promoted the development of Anyi Group, which has been unable to increase its production capacity due to the constraints of one place, production and resources. Once it was loosened, industry and agriculture immediately showed an explosive expansion trend!

After more than ten years of development, the accumulation of science and technology and industry of Anyi Group has reached a limit, and the reserve of talents has reached a peak, the only thing that is needed is a place to release all this, for the northwest, the two lakes and the Jiangnan region, it is simply impossible, Chiang Kai-shek will never allow Anyi Group to cross the line and threaten its own status, so it can only be Annan!

Enter Annan, turn this place into a place for Chinese, let the fertile land here grow three times a year, completely solve the problem of periodic food shortages in China, let the rich resources here serve the rise of China, let the people here recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and minimize the harm to the mother nation in the future!

Without the establishment of Nanhua, the number of An Jiajun would not have been able to increase explosively, and it would have been able to retreat to the southwest corner forever, acting as a local warlord force, and even if it could later send troops to Central Asia, there would not be enough food and strategic materials to support the front-line operations.

Without the industry and oil of Central Asia, there would have been no expansion of the mechanized forces of the Anjia Army, let alone the feat of sending troops to Afghanistan, the Persian Gulf and India. Fundamentally speaking, it was not only An Yi who chose Nanhua, but also Nanhua who created the current An Yi and the army he led.

"It's good to have a clear conscience!"

Jiang Yunshan comforted An Yi like this: "Nanhua is just a symbol, a formalistic thing, which should not become your fetters, but should become your motivation." In the past, would a leader who had been insulted by Westerners as a country of yellow pigs win so much respect when he visited the United States? There is no other reason, strength is dictated! The better we develop in the future, the higher the status of the Chinese in the United States, and this is our responsibility!

"If you are not satisfied with the current name of the country, in the future, as long as you need it, you can use China to order it. Even if you don't want to compete with Chairman Chiang, and the territory under our jurisdiction does not include the southwest and other places, we can still organize China's homeland such as the Far East, Central Asia, and South China into an independent country with the Chinese nation as the main body, such as the Federal Republic of China, which is a pretty good name.

"As long as it is a country where the Chinese nation is the majority of the country, why can't it be called China? In the future, we will support a few countries with Chinese names in Southeast Asia, which will be even more exciting! The rise of the Chinese nation must not only rely on a certain group, and we may be able to play a more effective role if we stay out of the matter as a transcendent identity! Think about it, Annam and Siam, which we occupy now, are already the best granaries to solve the problem of our nation's right to exist, and if we occupy the plains of Burma and the Ganges River in the future, then we will still have the possibility of famine? If there is a major natural disaster in the area controlled by Chairman Chiang, and we vigorously assist and strive not to starve to death, then we will be worth it!

"Xiao Yi, don't drill the horns, we have now come to this point, we can only unswervingly go on, until the Chinese nation stands at the top of the world's nations, this is what we should do!"

An Yi's thoughts were like a tide, he stood up and walked to the window, looking at the blue lake in the north, stood for a while, suddenly turned his head, and commanded:

"Liu Yu, although your war department has come up with plans for various situations, no matter what, you are not allowed to have a situation beyond your control! If you have the conditions, you have to go up if you don't, in short, you can't sit back and watch the mountains and rivers fall! We are not serving a certain person, a certain family, or a certain political party, we are serving our own conscience! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Yu stood up with some excitement and saluted An Yi respectfully.

At this moment, the generals in the conference room, seeing An Yi's resolute expression, seemed to have returned to the old days......
