The Meiling landed slowly at a makeshift airfield outside Lanfeng, while nine random escorted I-16 fighter jets were still hovering at high altitude. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The glow before dusk shone on the Meiling and Xue Yue, Yan Xunfu, Gui Yongqing, Xu Tingyao, Yu Jishi, Huang Jie, Du Yuming and others who were waiting quietly at the airport, and they were dyed with a layer of red light.

The plane stopped under everyone's attention, the cabin door opened, and Chang Kaishen, who was dressed in military uniform, leaned out, beckoned to everyone with his hand, and then stepped down the stairs. As usual, he did not come alone, and he was accompanied by Lin Wei, deputy director of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Liu Fei, director of the First Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and others.

"The big war is coming, why does the old man still come to Kaifeng?" Chang Kaishen and the commanders' frames went first, and Li Shusen, deputy commander of the 27th Army, and Qiu Qingquan stayed at the end together. Originally, only officers at or above the army level could meet the leaders at this meeting, but Chang Kaishen asked the tank brigade commander of the 200th Division to also attend the meeting, so Qiu Qingquan, the major general and brigade commander, came, but the seat was at the bottom.

"The old man is not at ease!" Li Shusen is the first phase of Huangpu, and Qiu Qingquan is only the second phase, but Qiu Qingquan has always been arrogant and untamed, and he does not feel that he is inferior to Li Shusen. Besides, he stayed in Germany for several years, and of course it was impossible to return to China, so he and Gui Yongqing, a student who stayed in Germany, were called 'German generals'. "Brother Yu'an, the principal is very kind to you! If you make meritorious service this time, your future will be limitless. ”

Li Shusen said with a smile, and Qiu Qingquan was full of joy when he said it. In fact, he may not be able to look down on Du Yuming's set of things, thinking that it is too backward and too low-level - when he first learned that the motorcyclist did not have a truck with a bicycle per person, he almost laughed off his big teeth, and he also greeted Teng, is this a bicycle team or a motorcyclist? Then there are nearly 200 120mm heavy mortars equipped with the whole army, which he also thinks are too backward, and the firing range of more than five kilometers is not as good as a mountain artillery.

After the Battle of Taierzhuang, someone in the Ministry of Military Affairs reported that in view of the strong combat effectiveness of the 88th Armored Army, the chairman of the committee had the intention of forming a second armored army with the help of Soviet aid -- the T26 tank only costs 21,000 US dollars for one tank, and 200 tanks is 4 million US dollars, which is almost half the price of Czech tanks (of course, these people selectively forget that Czech tanks are the total price of Czech tanks with radio stations, accessories, and ammunition), plus 1,000 trucks, 200 120mm mortars, and related accessories, ammunition, and related ordnance, Overall, about 10 million dollars can form an armored army. Gui Yongqing wanted to become the commander of the Second Armored Army, and it was because of this that he would find a way to pull Qiu Qingquan's tank brigade to the 27th Army as the seed of the Second Armored Army.

Li Shusen intended to cater to him, Qiu Qingquan, who was holding a cigar, laughed, and the car drove quickly towards the general headquarters of the legion in Lanfeng City. After getting off the bus, Chang Kaishen did not rest, he entered the venue with high interest to announce the meeting. Lieutenant General Yan Xunfu gave a general introduction to the current situation, that is, the 14th Division and the Heavy Artillery Brigade were already outside Heze City, in view of the fact that the 88th Army had prepared for an assault, the headquarters had ordered the 71st Army to move in, but the direction of the transfer was Dingtao in the southeast direction, that is, in the direction of Shangqiu, not Zhuangzhai and Tieluji in the direction of Lanfeng.

After introducing the situation, Yan Xunfu introduced the layout of the 88th Army. He said: "At present, the two tank brigades of the 88th Army, all 130 tanks are lying in ambush in Beiguan Town between Heze, Lanfeng, and Shangqiu, and as long as the main force of the Japanese army moves out of Heze, no matter which direction he chooses, he will be hit hard by 130 tanks, 180 heavy mortars, and two motorized infantry divisions of the 88th Army. At that time, our 71st Army, 64th Army, 74th Army and the newly arrived 8th Army will rush to the battlefield and enter the battle within a day, encircling and annihilating the Japanese army, which has lost heavy artillery firepower and heavy military supplies, in the narrow area between the Hezelan Seal Line and the Yellow River.

At present, the arrangements of the various armies are: the 71st Army is stationed in Dingtao and Cao counties on the first line of Shangqiu in Heze; The 64th Army was stationed in Minquan and Neihuang on the Longhai Road, the 27th Army was stationed in Lanfeng, Luowangdian, and Chenliukou, and the 8th Army, the 74th Army and several other divisions were stationed as general reserves, which were arranged on the east and west sides of Lanfeng, and were put into battle at an appropriate time......"

The troop layout of the campaign was basically in accordance with Chang Kaishen's previous intentions, but the position of the 88th Army was moved east from the vicinity of Lanfeng to Beiguan Town, which is the center of Heze, Lanfeng, and Shangqiu, which is somewhat similar to the layout of Tang Enbo's 20th Army in the Battle of Taierzhuang, which can be convenient to support the first line of Heze Lanfeng and the first line of Heze Shangqiu. However, from the perspective of the annihilation war, if the 14th Division chooses Shangqiu, it will be difficult for the Eastern Henan Corps to annihilate it completely, and they are likely to give up all their baggage after receiving a fatal blow and flee to Jining in the northeast with light equipment. But if the 14th Division chooses Lanfeng, the country. The army advanced from the east, but the Yellow River was to the west, and it was impossible for the Japanese to escape by jumping naked from the Yellow River.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the Battle of Taierzhuang, there are many people who say that the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is unfavorable for the national government, especially that the War of Resistance of the Central Army is unfavorable." After Yan Xunfu finished his introduction, Chang Kaishen spoke, and he waved his white gloves very majestically and began to speak. "Due to military secrets, it is difficult for the government to publicize the truth of the Battle of Taierzhuang, so as not to let the Japanese know the detailed information of the 88th Army. However, after this battle, the 88th Army could not hide it if it wanted to, and whether this battle could take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Japanese to make a record and play the spirit of the revolutionary army not afraid of death depends on all of you.

It was difficult for the country to come, and the Japanese invaders threatened to destroy our country in three months, but the war in Shanghai lasted for three months, and the Japanese invaders lost more than 200,000 people before they took Nanjing. After the battle, the Japanese invaders were arrogant again, and were defeated by our 88th Army in Taierzhuang, and after this battle, the Japanese invaders were defeated in the international community, and their invincibility on land was self-defeating, so they became angry and asked Germany to recall its military advisers. At present, the 14th Japanese Division is lone and deeper, just trying to cut off the Longhai line and encircle our 600,000-strong army in Xuzhou. Such an opportunity is really rare, and I don't believe that the Japanese will dare to do so next time after suffering this loss, so you must cherish this opportunity.

Don't think that intelligence is easy to come by, and don't think that intelligence doesn't cost money and human lives, because the price is great. To tell you the truth, Lieutenant General Muto Akira, a true friend of our people and chief of the Operations Section of the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army, has been forced to commit suicide......" Chang Kaishen said this, and the generals present suddenly shook their whole bodies and gasped hard, Chief of the Operations Section of the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army! It seems that Jin Shanwei's tens of thousands of little devils died unjustly.

Chang Kaishen was very satisfied with the reaction of the generals present, although this was part of cooperating with Mr. Takano's counter-plan, but it was still very good to frighten those students and subordinates who disobeyed him and obeyed his orders. If only let them know that the hand of the intelligence department has reached the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army, their orders are absolutely correct and absolutely correct!

"Although this operation was completed by the Central Army, I still want to emphasize the coordinated actions between the various armies. This is the stubborn disease of our army! For example, the last time the enemy attacked our Jining, if our troops on the north bank of the Yellow River could take the opportunity to attack and coordinate with our troops defending Jining, they would be able to break the enemy. In terms of tactics, when we encounter an enemy attacking our neighboring friendly forces, or when an ally is in danger and needs reinforcements, we must do our best to assist him, or automatically dispatch reserves to help him, and we must not wait for the friendly army to come to the rescue, let alone sit idly by and wait until the friendly army is defeated, but then retreat.

You must know: we are on the same front, fighting the same enemy, life is the same life, death is the same death, the so-called unity and the same fate, then the attack and defense advance and retreat, of course, we must work together. If our troops do not have the spirit of life and death, advancing and retreating together, anytime, anywhere, and acting in concert, not only can they not fight, but they will not become an army at all, and we cannot be regarded as a soldier......"

Chang Kaishen played the old tune of the Kaifeng meeting again, Gui Yongqing, who was sitting there, listened to it sweating, he thought it was caused by Xu Tingyao and others' complaints, but fortunately, after this lecture, Chang Kaishen did not name him, which made him greatly relieved. However, when he saw that Chang Kaishen only left Xue Yue, Yan Xunfu, and Xu Tingyao, Du Yuming, and Liao Yaoxiang of the 88th Army to talk in detail, he was jealous again.

Du Yuming's stupid lack of Shaanxi who is rustic and does not speak standard Chinese has always looked down on him, and he can only play an unpopular game under Xu Tingyao's door in Zhang Zhizhong, but who would have thought that the previous unpopular would actually become fragrant and fragrant, and the armored regiment would actually become an armored army. As a member of the delegation to Britain last year, of course he knew that this rustic fool was learning armor tactics from whom, and it was a joke to say it, and that navy deflated Sanye Luzi armor tactics could also be put on the table? Taierzhuang was lucky, the Seya Kai detachment was wiped out by the infantry, and as for the 63rd Wing, who knows if they encountered a wing or a squadron.

Gui Yongqing was uncomfortable when he walked out of the conference room, he didn't want to be tapped on the shoulder, and he wanted to be angry only to find out that it was Qiu Qingquan. He turned his anger into joy and said, "Brother Yu'an also came out?" I thought you were in there. ”

"He. . . Damn it! Qiu Qingquan grabbed the cigar in his mouth and took a puff of smoke, he had no opinion on Du Yuming, but he felt that he was so cold that he could not attend the discussion of the most critical details of the battle. Soldiers regard obedience as their duty, and since the old man has information from the Operations Section of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, what else do we have to worry about. ”

Chang Kaishen's words just now really shocked everyone's hearts. Good guy, chief of the operations section of the General Staff Headquarters, doesn't this mean that the Japanese army was commanded by Chang Kaishen. Originally, a person like Xu Tingyao who was worried suddenly felt that this battle could be won.

"Yes, the principal is wise and wise, and he has no last resort, so we just obey the military orders. Brother Yu'an, I don't think I will ignore this matter, it is better to go to the brother's headquarters and sit down and drink a cup of tea to quench my thirst. Gui Yongqing said with a smile and pulled Qiu Qingquan towards his headquarters. Here, Gui Yongqing also took out the treasured German beer. The two didn't drink much, and Gui Yongqing said: "I have already inquired about the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the old man does have the idea of forming a second armored army, but this person is ......."

How chic is the torrent of steel and galloping on the battlefield, Qiu Qingquan put down his wine glass, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with the personnel?" ”

"The personnel have two choices, one is that the 88th Army will be divided into a part, with Liao Jianchu as the commander of the armored division, and the other is that Huang Wuwu will be the division commander and deputy commander......" Gui Yongqing observed Qiu Qingquan's expression while telling the inside story. When he heard Liao Yaoxiang, he disdained it, although Liao studied mechanization at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France, he was a student of the sixth phase of Huangpu, and Huang Wei, although he was a student of the first phase of Huangpu, he did not understand mechanization at all.

"Huang Wei, this nerd!" Qiu Qingquan bit his cigar with disdain. "He doesn't even understand the hair of a tank, what is the commander of an armored division!"

"Brother Yu'an, why don't you want to think about who Huang Wei is. You say that the armored army is such a heavy weapon, who would not find a way to pull it to their side? "Gui Yongqing is talking about Chen Cheng, and this sentence makes Qiu Qingquan discouraged." Brother, I have been looking for a way, hoping to reorganize the 27th Army into an armored army. The 27th Army was born in the Central Teaching Corps, and we fought almost to the last man in Nanjing, and when we moved in, most of the troops were wiped out. Nanjing is like this, the Battle of Songhu, the 128th Anti-Japanese War, and the war did not teach the corps to participate in the war? Minister He also talked about this, so he supported the reorganization of the 27th Army into the Armored Army, but it was just ......"

Speaking of this, Gui Yongqing deliberately pinched it, Qiu Qingquan was anxious, and he immediately asked: "Just what?" ”

"It's just that I taught the corps to fight hard for many years, but I didn't have the exploits to do it." Gui Yongqing sighed from the bottom of his heart, not knowing if he was sighing at the sea of the teaching corps. Before Qiu Qingquan nodded, he said again: "I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes, I don't really understand armored warfare, so I want to grieve Brother Yu'an, you to be the commander of the armored division and the deputy commander of the 27th armored army." However, the support of Minister He alone may not be useful, and the revision of the rhetoric is on the side of the 88th Army...... This time I really want to encircle and annihilate the 13th Division, maybe Liao Jianchu, the sixth phase of Huangpu, really became the commander of the second armored division one step ahead of you, so ......"

Glancing at Qiu Qingquan, Gui Yongqing finally said what he wanted: "So this time the 27th Army will have to make some achievements no matter what, your brother is the commander of the 2nd Brigade, you always know how the 88th Army is arranged, right?" Is it possible to come up with a few ideas, for the sake of the party-state, so that the brothers can also share the profits. ”

Gui Yongqing's request for "sharing profits and sharing profits in battle...... is not outrageous; this operation has detailed information from the Operations Section of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, and a great victory is a matter of course, but the combat exploits are basically all those of the 88 th Army." Brother Frank Zhen, your task is to guard the western front of Lanfeng, especially Chen Liukou. The plan is set to death, if you make any changes, will that Guang guy let you go? ”

"Him?" Gui Yongqing knew that Qiu Qingquan was talking about Xue Yue, and he sneered: "When will it be his turn to dictate in our Central Army." The old man asked him to come just to make a torii, wasn't the battle plan planned by the old man? ”

"It's not the old man's decision, it's the old man and Du Guangting agreed together." Of course, Qiu Qingquan knew the inside story of the battle plan, although he didn't know much, but it was enough for him to deduce the general details of the battle plan. (To be continued.) )
