Chapter 84, The Great Counterattack
"Nanjing! Nanking! ...... "Chongqing mansion, bald head walking back and forth in the house.
The 41st Army had already entered Nanjing, and the intensity of the attack was becoming more and more intense, entering from the northwest direction of Nanjing, but he did not know what the situation of the battle was, but from the present it seems that the Japanese army could not stop the 41st Group Army.
On the one hand, he hoped that the 41st Group Army could recover Nanjing and drive away the Japanese army, but on the other hand, he was afraid that he would have too strong momentum and high merit, and besides, Lu Qiang always had contacts with the northwest.
Therefore, he is very conflicted now, whether to support the 41st Group Army, or take advantage of the fact that the attention of the Japanese army is in Nanjing, counterattack, and get some news, lest other people's attention be on the 41st Group Army, and they will almost forget him as the chairman.
Hesitation, inability to be decisive in the face of things, this is a big certainty of the bald head, always indecisive. When the interruption continues, it is chaotic.
But fortunately, he had a lot of subordinates and could give him some ideas, so he recruited a group of first-class generals of the People's Party to discuss this matter.
"I think it's going to be beaten, and it's going to be beaten hard." Li Zongren stood up, waved his fist and said fiercely, he didn't have any selfish intentions, he just wanted to fight the Japanese army.
"I also agree with fighting, but I can't attack the Japanese army at will, we have to discuss it carefully." Bai Chongxi said.
"Agree to fight, it's best to fight together with Henan, the current Japanese garrison in Henan is very empty." Tang Enbo still remembers Henan, and he misses the days when he was the king of the mountain.
"I also agree to fight."
"I agree with ......"
All the generals present agreed to fight the Japanese army, and the bald head smiled with some relief, it was rare to see them so united. "Since everyone agrees with fighting back, let's talk about how to fight back!"
Hearing the bald question, the first-level generals rolled their eyes and glanced at each other, all of them thinking about their own little ninety-nine in their hearts.
"Commission, since you want to counterattack the Japanese army, naturally start with the Japanese army that is closest to Chongqing and can most threaten Chongqing." Li Zongren took the lead in saying.
"Go on." The bald head nodded, a little happy in his heart, it seemed that Li Zongren was still thinking about his own safety.
"The first thing to solve is the enemy in Changsha, once Changsha is lost, the Japanese army can go straight into Chongqing and attack Chongqing. Although the Japanese army's intention to seize Changsha was crushed, they still would not give up, and they would still make a comeback once they had the opportunity. Therefore, the primary target of our counteroffensive was the Japanese army, which was eyeing Changsha. Li Zongren said with a splash of mouth. Xue Yue, who was sitting opposite him, quietly wiped the foaming stars on his face and glared at Li Zongren secretly.
"Well, that's good." The bald head nodded slowly, pondered for two or three seconds, looked up and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”
When asked by the bald head, everyone did not speak, but secretly looked at the bald head's face, if he had a smile on his face, it means that he agreed with the plan, on the contrary, his face was gloomy and showed a look of displeasure, which means that he was very unhappy with the plan.
Not surprisingly, there was a slight smile on the corner of the bald head's mouth, indicating that he agreed with this plan in his heart at this time, if there was no better plan, it was best not to refute, so as not to make the bald head angry.
"We have no objection." The crowd said.
"Alright, let's discuss some specific battle plans. The plan for this counterattack was put forward by Delin (Li Zongren), who was appointed commander-in-chief and Boling (Xue Yuezi) as the deputy commander......
Tang Enbo didn't want to listen to the bald head nagging, anyway, he is very unhappy now, originally he wanted to take the opportunity to persuade the bald head to send troops to counterattack Henan, and the wording was thought out in his heart, but he was interrupted by Li Zongren like this, and the bald head must not look down on his plan, so he hated Li Zongren for three points, and the two sides were originally opposed, but Li Zongren scolded him and compared him to a bandit leader.
“…… Logistics, just ......" bald heads continue to distribute orders.
"I'll take care of the logistics." Tang Enbo suddenly stood up and introduced himself.
Seeing that Tang Enbo suddenly asked for a logistics officer, this made Li Zongren and Xue Yue frown. Li Zongren and Tang Enbo are opposites, needless to say, Xue Yue also knows that the relationship between the two is not harmonious, so he is also worried that Tang Boen will make small moves and destroy this rare opportunity.
The others looked at each other coldly and did not go up to help, and Li Zongren took the position of commander-in-chief, which made some of them a little unhappy.
The two were about to say something when the bald head spoke, "Okay, then this matter is booked." And he condemned it to death in a word.
Since the bald heads have spoken, they don't dare to disobey, Li Zongren has a dark face, a constipated expression, and he has changed his previous vigor and abundance. Xue Yue, on the other hand, frowned secretly, praying that Tang Enbo would not drag them back at a critical time.
"From today, we will fight together, rest assured, I promise to send the supplies intact." When the meeting ended, Tang Enbo whispered to Li Zongren.
Although Tang Enbo said it very kindly, Li Zongren still felt cold when he heard it.
"Hmph, I hope you can do what you said, don't delay the party/state affairs, otherwise neither you nor I can afford it." Li Zongren snorted coldly and left here.
"Hmph, what the hell!" Looking at Li Zongren's departing back, Tang Enbo snorted coldly.
In response to the Nanjing counteroffensive, the People's Party organized a large army to **** the Japanese army outside Changsha, which was also the largest counteroffensive since the Anti-Japanese War.
In terms of troops, Li Zongren took over as commander of the Ninth Theater, with a total of 14 armies and 36 divisions, with a total strength of more than 370,000 troops.
Relying on the rapid penetration of the infantry, the Japanese army was caught off guard, they did not expect the Guo army to be so bold, and they actually dared to counterattack them, and immediately organized troops to resist the attack of the Guo army.
At the same time, the Eighth Route in the northwest, under the command of General Peng, launched a campaign no less than the Battle of the Hundred Regiments against the Japanese troops in the northwest and Hebei.
In other words, the Hundred Regiments War was launched nearly 5 months earlier, and the original Hundred Regiments War only started in August.
Today's land of China can be said to be blooming everywhere, the Battle of Nanjing in East China, the Changsha Counterattack in the Southwest, the Battle of the Hundred Regiments in North China, and the Battle of Jinzhou in the Northeast.
This counterattack battle, known as the "Great Counterattack", was like a critical punch to the Japanese army. Originally, they were drawing troops to support Nanjing, and many places were empty, but they were suddenly attacked by the Guo army and the Red Party, and they were indeed a little caught off guard.
