The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 9, Rushing, and Section 5 Assault

However, Xu Zuyi did not make a mistake, the sky was still bright, Cai Tingkai was awakened by the noise in the courtyard, he looked out of the window, and saw the team pouring in from outside, and the chief of staff Xu Zuyi had already appeared in the courtyard and was talking to Zhuang Jihua. \\.qВ(5), coМ//Cai Tingkai hurriedly put on his clothes and pushed the door out.

"Order the troops, postpone the offensive by two days." As soon as Cai Tingkai came over, he heard Zhuang Jihua give an order to Xu Zuyi, Xu Zuyi didn't ask anything, so he turned his head and ordered Shangguan Jun to carry it out.

"General Xianchu, wake you up too." Zhuang Jihua rubbed his hands a little apologetically when he saw Cai Tingkai coming. In order to confuse Okamura Ningji, he has been openly active in Kaifeng, Xuchang, Zhengzhou, Qiu Qingquan's first mechanized army had just arrived in Henan, and he rushed to offer condolences with a large number of reporters, and it was not until yesterday morning that he secretly left Xuchang and crossed half of Henan, and finally arrived here easily.

"Why postpone it by two days?" Cai Tingkai was not polite, he was a little strange, the front-line troops had begun to move in front of the enemy, and the squadron had a tradition of being angry, and the sudden postponement of the attack not only affected secrecy but also affected morale, Zhuang Jihua gave such an order at the beginning of getting out of the car, which made him very puzzled.

"There's no way, Gao Zhihang reported, the Air Force still has one day to prepare, and besides, the heavy weapons of the new 30th and 50th Divisions will arrive in three days, so there's no hurry." After Zhuang Jihua explained two sentences, he said to Xu Zuyi: "I'll go to sleep, and when I wake up, I will listen to the enemy's report." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Jihua signaled to Cai Tingkai and turned to leave. Xu Zuyi smiled meaningfully from Cai Tingkai, as if telling him, how is it, I am not wrong. Cai Tingkai ignored it, he looked around, but he didn't see Feng Yi and them, he estimated that the two of them didn't even get up at all.

Of course, Zhuang Jihua didn't come alone, his guards arrived with him, the small courtyard was not big, and the guards couldn't all live in, Wu Ziniu lived in the courtyard with a guard class, and the rest of the people were in the temporary shacks outside the small courtyard, and these shacks had already been prepared.

Cai Tingkai shook his head again, Zhuang Jihua's measures looked very casual, whether it was to postpone the attack time or go to sleep first and then listen to the report, if he wanted to be replaced, he must listen to the report first, as for postponing the attack, it would be even more unnecessary, the Air Force was not ready, this reason was simply not a reason.

Lying on the bed again, Cai Tingkai was still thinking about the situation just now, this must have been deliberately shown by him, if it was really so casual, he would not have been able to defeat the Japanese army several times, and become the famous general with the largest number of enemies destroyed since the Anti-Japanese War and never defeated. In a daze, he fell asleep again.

The perennial military career made him wake up on time the next day, he came out to take a walk in the yard, the yard was very quiet, and those staff officers seemed to know that Zhuang Jihua had just arrived in the early morning, and his walking steps were very low, and his voice was much lower than yesterday.

Cai Tingkai walked around the courtyard and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he turned around and walked out of the small courtyard, and not far away, he saw Feng Yi and Julai playing Tai Chi on a flat ground. In the breeze, every move and style, meticulous, even if Cai Tingkai came to the front, he turned a blind eye.

"These two are pretty laid-back." Cai Tingkai didn't understand why Zhuang Jihua would let these two literati stay in the headquarters, but he didn't think about it, although he had not been by Zhuang Jihua's side for a long time, he still knew that this Feng Yi was Zhuang Jihua's political staff and was deeply trusted, and Zhuang Jihua was often influenced by him in major decisions.

Before the war, the soldiers were nervous, everyone managed to relax, and when the command was given, they were able to concentrate on it. Everyone has a way to relieve tension, Cai Tingkai used to drink tea, the traditional kung fu tea in Guangdong, and he had to drink a few cups before each war. This time he went to the Jiangbei Theater, and he also brought that set of tea sets and tea leaves.

He turned around the mountain road, and it was the first time he turned the mountain road here, and this time he found that the small courtyard between the valleys looked very calm, but in fact, the guard was very tight, and there was a regiment around him, and when he just walked to the peak, a sentry came out of the dark to remind him, and then he went out of the warning circle.

Coming down from the mountain, Feng Yi and Julai had already gathered their momentum, and when they saw Cai Tingkai coming down from the mountain, Julai raised his hand to greet his eldest brother.

"The two of you are so interested," Cai Tingkai greeted calmly, and Feng Wei smiled: "The general is also very interested, Brother Xianchu, this Anhui is different from Guangdong, has the general been here before?" ”

"I've been here, during the Central Plains War, I fought in this area." Cai Tingkai looked at the surrounding mountains, a layer of mist was undulating in the forest, there were a few birds flying in the sky, and there were farmers in the distance from time to time on the mountain road, and the mountains seemed quiet, peaceful and natural.

"Hehe, Brother Impermanence, you are known as a ghost scholar in Anhui, this is your hometown." Julai seems to be a natural optimist, Cai Tingkai has never seen him worried, and he is happy all day long.

"My home is in southern Jiangnan, and there is a Yangtze River from here," Feng Wei said lightly: "It's you, Brother Julai, you have been in western Henan for 20 years, how much do you know about this area?" ”

"Hehe," Julai smiled and didn't answer, Julai is his word, his real name is Lanjiang, and Feng Yi is an old friend, but unlike Feng Yi, when Feng Yi went south to Guangdong, he chose to live in seclusion in his hometown of Yuxi, this seclusion has been hidden for 20 years, Feng Yi has been invited several times, but he refused without hesitation. This time, after Feng Yi arrived in the Jiangbei Theater, he personally came to the door to invite him, thinking that he would have to make a big deal of talk, but he didn't expect that he didn't let him say anything this time, and Lan Jiang readily agreed.

The three of them talked and laughed and went down the mountain, and when they returned to the small courtyard, Xu Zuyi was already in the hall, and Cai Tingkai was a little surprised that Zhuang Jihua was already in the hall, listening to Shangguan Jun's introduction to the enemy.

In the Qianshan Taihu Lake area, the current enemy situation has not changed, and it is still the second mixed brigade, with a total strength of about 20,000 people; The 3rd Division and the 15th Division were stationed in the Hefei area, with a total strength of about 27,000 troops, in addition, the 121st Division was deployed in the Tongcheng area of the Lujiang River; The 137th Division of the Japanese Army in Huainan area, this division is a newly built division, there was originally only one wing in this place, and Huainan also has an independent division for the puppet protector of the country and the people, the division commander is Liu Ziqing, with a strength of 2,000 people; Hefei has 3,000 people in the Seventh Division of the Second Army, Wang Zhanlin, and the Japanese army in Bengbu is an independent 13th brigade with a total strength of about 7,000 people. ”

"The main force of the Japanese army in Central China was attracted by the Jiangnan Theater, the main force of the Japanese 13th Army was deployed in Shanghai and Zhejiang, the remnants of the 11th Army and five of the seven newly transferred divisions were deployed on the line from Nanjing to Anqing, and a 139th division was in the Yangzhou area of Jiangsu Province to guard against the Sulu Theater. These information were provided by the General Staff. ”

After Shangguan Jun finished briefing the situation, he closed the document in his hand, Zhuang Jihua did not speak, just stared at the map silently. The General Staff Headquarters was established recently, and in fact, the Military Affairs Department and the Logistics Department of the Military Command Department were merged, with He Yingqin still serving as Chief of the General Staff and Bai Chongxi serving as Deputy Chief of the General Staff.

"Is there any news from Song Yunfei?" After a long time, Zhuang Jihua asked. After Zhao Hanjie was killed, the captain of the special forces has been vacant, Song Yunfei asked to go several times, Zhuang Jihua did not let go, but the special forces are the sharp knife in his hands, and they have always been controlled in the hands of his closest people, after Zhao Hanjie died, only Song Yunfei was left to control the special forces, and he finally had to send Song Yunfei to the battlefield again.

Song Yunfei led the special forces to infiltrate the Jinpu line half a month ago, and the special forces in the Battle of Northern Hubei suffered great losses, and they had not been repaired after the war, and Fan Chunshen was still in the hospital, and his injuries had greatly improved, and he could get out of bed and go around. This time to attack behind the enemy, the special forces were divided into three routes, and Song Yunfei inserted the deepest along the way, all the way to the Jinpu line, and after the battle began, cut off the Jinpu line.

"Special forces, all three detachments are in place." Shangguan Jun replied. Zhuang Jihua nodded, stood up and walked to the map, now that the formation has been laid out, just wait for it to start.

"General Xianchu, Mr. Impermanence, Mr. Julai." Zhuang Jihua turned his head and saw that the three of them had already arrived at the door, so he greeted them. Feng Yi led the way in, the three of them were not polite, Feng Yi and Lan Jiang pulled a chair and sat down, and Cai Tingkai walked to the map.

"Commander, I have a question," Cai Tingkai looked at the map and said: "According to the battle plan, the focus of the first stage is to capture Bengbu, but the Jinpu line is controlled by the Japanese army, Gu Zhutong's offensive in Zhezhong is not fierce, if the Japanese army finds out that our army is attempting, it can quickly reinforce Bengbu." ”

"Theoretically," Zhuang Jihua replied without the slightest hesitation: "However, we have the advantage of the air force, and the reinforcements of the Japanese army will be blocked by our air force, and secondly, I am not worried about the Japanese army coming to help, Bengbu only has 7,000 Japanese troops, and these 7,000 people are still scattered on both sides of the vortex river, along the Jinpu line, if it goes well, our army can go down in one drum, as long as we occupy Bengbu, the key to the entire battlefield will be controlled in our hands." ”

"In addition to the Air Force, there are also two armies in the Sulu Theater, which can coerce Yangzhou and force Nishio Shouzao not to dare to reinforce Bengbu." Xu Zuyi frowned slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied with Cai Tingkai's move, Cai Tingkai is only a new senior staff member, and this is undoubtedly accusing them of being thoughtless.

Zhuang Jihua smiled, his tone was still flat: "If the Japanese army wants to reinforce Bengbu, this is actually nothing, especially from the Xuzhou area and even Shandong, I am particularly welcome, this will reduce the huge pressure on us in the next stage, General Cai, you just came, you don't know the current combat effectiveness of our army, in fact, the 22nd Group Army only needs to send one army to conquer Bengbu, but why should I send a group army?" Also, if the Sulu Theater wants to send an army to attack Bengbu from the east, does it need more than 100,000 troops with only 7,000 troops? In fact, it was to take into account the possibility of reinforcements from the Japanese army; The purpose of conquering Bengbu was to cut off the passage for the Japanese army in Central China to reinforce Shandong and ensure the flank of our troops attacking Shandong. ”

Cai Tingkai felt that his tone was a little inappropriate at this time, but his perennial military career had cultivated his perseverance and perseverance, and he nodded after a little relief, indicating that he accepted Zhuang Jihua's explanation. According to the plan formulated before the war, it was the main force of the Jiangbei Theater that attacked Shandong, the elite soldiers led by Du Yuming and Song Xilian.

"By the way, Commander," as soon as Cai Tingkai spoke, Zhuang Jihua interrupted him and said: "Let's call me the Cultural Revolution, in terms of seniority, you are a senior in the army." ”

"Okay," Cai Tingkai didn't care: "Cultural Revolution, I look at your battle plan, I have an idea, why not attack from the area controlled by GCD?" Take Heze, cross the Grand Canal, conquer Yanzhou and Qufu, and retreat the Japanese army in Xuzhou in one fell swoop. ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly: "General, don't worry, I have already made arrangements in this direction." ”

Xu Zuyi was a little surprised, he didn't understand what Zhuang Jihua meant? Already have arrangements for this journey? How did he not know, he was about to ask. Feng Yi interjected at this time: "I said, what else are you talking about?" During the Cultural Revolution, you didn't have a good rest, and in the next few days, you won't have time to rest, so let's go to sleep again. ”

"That's okay, Xu Shenzuo, you just keep an eye here, let the troops have a good rest, and I'll go to sleep first." Zhuang Jihua finished speaking and left.

Xu Zuyi opened his mouth and closed it, he knew that Feng Wei was telling the truth, once the battle started, Zhuang Jihua would not have time to rest, it would be a luxury to be able to take time to take a nap every day, and it would not be too late to ask if there was anything he would ask when he woke up.

Lan Jiang felt that there was nothing to do, so he turned on the radio again, and the announcer's calm voice came from the radio: "I, the soldiers of the Jiangnan Theater, after a bloody and hard battle, have recovered Qimen today, and General Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, said ......"

"Did Chen Cixiu play a trick," Feng Yi frowned.

"It's hard to grasp this degree," Lan Jiang explained for Chen Cheng: "If you don't fight hard, Nishio Shouzo may notice it, and if you fight too hard, you may completely destroy Sunan, but the harder he fights, the better, and if we break it, we can rebuild." ”

"Chen Cixiu really wants to fight, with a million troops in the Jiangnan Theater, it is more than enough to attack the 200,000 Japanese troops in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Delta," Cai Tingkai's tone was a little disdainful, but after he became a senior staff, he also knew the entire strategic plan, first north and then south: "But if you want to change me, I will deploy the main force in southern Jiangsu and rush to Nanjing with the strength of two group armies, I don't believe that Nishio Shouzao still dares to transfer troops from Nanjing to the north under such circumstances." ”

"Actually, this plan is still flawed," Xu Zuyi said slowly, "I don't know if Nishio Shouzo can find out." ”

"Oh, Brother Yan Mou, where is the flaw?" Cai Tingkai was a little surprised, turned his head and asked.

"Sulu Theater," Xu Zuyi said: "If our army really counterattacks, it is impossible for the Sulu Theater not to cooperate, Nishio Shouzo is clear, we have 400,000 troops in the Sulu Theater, and these 400,000 troops can be on the backbone of the Japanese." Even if you want to defend northern Anhui in Shandong and take out two main forces to kill from behind, it should be no problem, but now you have to cooperate with the northern front to fight, and the Sulu theater can't get a single army, and now the time is still short, and the time is long, it is inevitable that he will not be suspicious. ”
