Chapter 41: Rising to Fame (1)
Liu Yi looked at Zhang Taizong, who was deep in thought, and sighed: "Between countries, there is no absolute peace, only absolute war. As soon as the Rotten Snake Army is in Yanlong, the war will not end, this time the battle is nearing the end, and the armistice and peace talks will be the final result of this battle.
In the next few years, our country will fall into an endless civil war, and the rotten snake will digest the three eastern provinces, reorganize armaments, improve weapons, innovate tactics, store materials, and so on, once the conditions are ripe, it will fully invade Yanlong. I've been thinking about it for the rest of the day, what are we going to do then?
The army is tired, and the material is too much to consume in the civil war, and if I were the commander of the enemy army, I would inevitably create an incident first, cross the Great Wall, and occupy Pingjin. At that time, we will be passive in both war and peace.
If there is a war, even if the Rotten Snake Army divides its troops into two routes, it will not be something we can match. At that time, they will cross the Great Wall all the way, attack Pingjin, occupy Shanxi and Hebei, concentrate superior forces to capture cities, railways, and highways, echo between the north and the south, completely destroy our industrial base, destroy our country's economic lifeline, plunder our country's mineral resources, and feed the war with war.
The other way occupies Songhu, attacks the Southern Jin Dynasty, occupies the south of the Yangtze River in our country, attacks Jiangcheng, enters the two lakes, and the battle star city, and Liangguang is already a lonely place. At that time, China's richest southeast region, Pingjin region, Jincha region, Yuzhou, Qilu are all lost. This will be fatal for us, I don't know how many compatriots will have to be sacrificed, and the soldiers will not be able to protect the people and the country, although they will live and die!
This is also the reason why I insist on going abroad, only by introducing the most advanced military technology, before the war, to create a real iron army, can we deal with this erosive situation. ”
Liu Yi's words made Zhang Taizong's heart set off shocking waves: Is that kind of Yanlong still a Yanlong? Do the soldiers of that time still have a face alive?
Liu Yi looked at Zhang Zhizhong, who was gloomy and sad, and couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Shi doesn't have to be sad, with me Liu Boyan here, I can't turn the sky over the rotten snake, why don't I take someone to the rotten snake trip, arrest the emperor's wife, Empress Liangzi, and give you a warm bed?" ”
Zhang Taizong suddenly recovered, laughed loudly and scolded: "Get out, you can keep it for yourself, Lao Tzu is not rare." ”
Liu Yi muttered in a low voice: "If you want it, I am not willing to give it."
"Keep up your daydreams, it's almost time, let's go to a meeting."
"Alas, after fighting in the city for so long, countless people have been displaced, it's time to fight back!"
Thinking of the houses destroyed in the war, as well as the crazy looting of civilians by the Rotten Snake Army, Liu Yi's heart was full of pain, and in order to determine the situation in Huating in the First World War, he won the trust of Shi Tuzhi and obtained the supreme command of the war zone.
At 1 p.m., the Huating Theater Command will gather a star-studded group of military commanders at the division and brigade levels of all participating units to discuss a good strategy for counterattacking.
Shi Zhengguang spoke first: "In order to better coordinate the operations of various departments, the headquarters reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs for approval, and General Ye Zhongzhong will no longer hold the post of deputy commander-in-chief, and this post will be taken over by Lieutenant General Liu Yi. The Ministry of Military Affairs strictly ordered all departments to cooperate closely, fight in unity, obey the command of the headquarters in everything, and engage in military law violations. Next, I would like to invite Lieutenant General Liu Yi, deputy commander-in-chief, to introduce the situation in the Huating Theater. ”
After Liu Yi stood up, he looked around, and saw that the generals had different expressions, and there were many disdainful people, he couldn't help but turn cold, and pulled out his gun and roared: "Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country are also." The land of death and life, the way of survival, must not be overlooked. At this time of national crisis, at the moment of national crisis, those who are generals, do not think of going to difficulties, and those who think about striving for merit are all ****. Although Yi is a junior, he is ruthless in law enforcement, military affairs, and does not favor personal law.
Yi hereby swears that those who do not obey my orders will be beheaded for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and after the war, Yi will burn more paper money to apologize, does anyone want to try? ”
The generals sweated secretly, their hearts trembled, and they stood up and saluted together: "The lowly rank is willing to obey the commander's military order, dare not disobey, and is willing to fight to the death for the country!" ”
Liu Yi put away his gun and smiled: "Everyone, please take a seat, now I will introduce the situation in the entire Huating War Zone." Since 11:30 on the night of January 28, the first shot of the Huating Anti-Japanese War began, our army smashed the attack of the Rotten Snake Army many times, forcing the enemy to increase its troops four times, and changed its commander three times, and its spirit has been lost.
Neither Koichi Shiozawa, nor Kichizaburo Nomura, nor Kenkichi Ueda, who took office just yesterday, will be able to occupy our katei. At this time, the enemy army in the Songhu area has about 30,000, our army has increased to 40,000, and in the next few days, the reinforcements of the rotten snake will increase by tens of thousands, and our country has no more reinforcements due to financial emptiness.
Therefore, in the content of today's meeting, I do not advocate discussing the issue of defense, but discussing how to attack, we must gather superior forces and take the opportunity to eat the enemy's army! ”
"Ah, how is that possible?"
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, the Ninth Division was the elite of the Rotten Snake Country, well-equipped, and powerful in combat, how could one of them be annihilated?
"Humph! Soldiers, treacherous ways, not only do we not deploy defenses, but also assemble the team with great fanfare, send electricity in a clear code, and invite the rotten snake army to fight to the death in the Jiangwan and Miaoxing areas. ”
The generals couldn't help but be in an uproar, and there were many discussions, and they were not optimistic about this kind of proposal!
Liu Yi didn't wait for everyone to ask, picked up the baton, and tapped on the table: "Our army's ammunition reserves can no longer maintain the consumption of defensive warfare, and the continuous resistance has become empty talk.
What price does a weak country that takes the initiative to seek peace pay in exchange for so-called peace? ”
His eyes swept over the generals one by one, and Liu Yi roared angrily: "It is the garrison power of Huating, millions of Huating compatriots, and the so-called League of Nations can only survive if they are sheltered." What is a military man? Soldiers are the great wall of the country, the backbone of the nation, and the protector of the people. If you can't protect your family, defend the country and protect the people, why do you and I wear this military uniform? How can you and I have the face to step on this land? A decisive battle is actually beneficial to us, and let me introduce our advantages below.
Some time ago, I did a total of three things, and these three things are also the root of my proposal for a decisive battle. The first thing is that before the war, I ordered people to train hundreds of pigs, hundreds of extraordinary pigs, and some time ago used up twelve, and the effect was good. ”
"Boyan, is it the pig that dealt with the tank last time?"
"Yes, I began to prepare for this long before the war, these trained pigs, who can carry 10 kilograms of explosives packs, are specially used against enemy armored vehicles.
The second thing is that I persuaded Chairman Shi and Minister He that they agreed to lend us 10,000 Prussian shell guns and 5,000 light machine guns, which were borrowed from various units and had to be returned immediately after the war.
The third is the creation of secret weapons and the foreshadowing of the decisive battle position, which I will not say much here. As long as you understand that I propose a fight to the death, it is not a momentary brain fever. Now you still have any questions, you can talk about it. ”
"My 19th Route Army has been fighting side by side with the deputy commander-in-chief for more than half a month, and resolutely obeys his orders. The deputy commander-in-chief never fights a battle that he is not sure of, please rest assured. ”
The first to express his stance was Mao Weishou, the commander of the 61st Division, who was brave and good at fighting, and would be the first in every battle, because he admired Liu Yi's heroism in the battle of Baoshan, and the two had a good personal relationship.
"What Master Mao said is right, the 19th Army is willing to be dispatched by General Liu!"
Shi Zhengguang and Ye Zhongzhong exchanged a little, and then expressed their support, they fought for the country, even if they were defeated and died, they were not afraid of war.
Zhang Taizong discussed with his generals for a while, and then said: "My 87th Division obeys the orders of the deputy commander-in-chief and is willing to fight to the death with the enemy." ”
Yu Liangzhen, commander of the 88th Division, was a little worried: "Deputy commander-in-chief, dare to ask you how to deal with the Rotten Snake Navy, the naval artillery is more powerful than the artillery." ”
"Borrowing chickens to lay eggs and capturing the 'Izumo', the specific means are top secrets, so I can't disclose them. But please rest assured that this plan was personally approved by Chairman Shi, and it can be guaranteed to be foolproof! ”
As for whether Shi Tuzhi was reported or not, only Liu Yi himself knew that the fox fake tiger power was his usual method!
"If this is the case, my 88th Division is also willing to obey the dispatch of the deputy commander-in-chief!"
Yu Liangzhen's statement made Shi Zhengguang overjoyed, a decisive battle to the death is a foregone conclusion, but will the enemy agree?
"Boyan, tell me the specific plan, will the Rotten Snake Army agree to fight me to the death?"
"Boss, the Rotten Snake Army has the advantage of gunboats, and they can't wait to fight with us, so don't worry about this. How to make the enemy relax his guard against us really took a lot of effort for me, and in order to paralyze the enemy, we had to put on a play.
First of all, the Ministry of Military Affairs accidentally revealed that the 5th Army and the 19th Route Army were at odds; second, the commander-in-chief suddenly became unwell and fell unconscious; Third, Master Zhang and Master Yu are both elders who are good friends with me; Fourth, Commander Cai was drunk and lost his words. ”
Ye Zhongzhong laughed: "It's a good Zhao Kuo, let's go our separate ways!" ”
The generals discussed some details in secret, and General Shi Zhengguang suddenly felt unwell, fell unconscious, and was sent to the hospital for treatment.
At 8 o'clock in the morning of February 18, the Yanlong Huating Theater Command suddenly telegraphed: Tell the invasion of the Rotten Snake Army
Lushun killed 20,000 or 30,000 of my compatriots, and wrote a blood feud;
Occupy my three eastern provinces, kill my father and brothers, humiliate my wife and daughters and sisters, rob me of money and food, plunder my mineral treasures, new hatred and old hatred!
The Jibei tragedy, the blood stains have not dried, and the undead are complaining; If you commit my Songhu, bomb my Huating, kill my citizens, rob my goods, and commit all kinds of crimes, how can you not report them?
After more than a month and a half of fierce fighting, your head was defeated, the turtle shrank the concession, and wagged his tail and begged for mercy. Increasing troops and fighting again, on the banks of the Huangpu River, 'Kaga' was captured, and Changkong was defeated several times, and the turtle retreated. The second increase in troops, the so-called elite, was annihilated in the first battle, and Xiong Mi of Xia Yuan has been exhibited so far. Three increases in troops, the Ninth Division, can you dare to fight? At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, in the area of Jiangwan Temple, there will be a decisive battle, dare to respond?
As soon as the electricity came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and the people of Huating took to the streets, cheering long live. The League of Nations intervened and demanded that the Rotten Snake Army agree to a field battle so that the war could end as soon as possible.
Ueda Kenkichi found out through spies: Shi Zhengguang was seriously ill and unconscious, and Ye Zhongzhong was removed from the post of deputy commander-in-chief due to factional disputes, and the newly appointed deputy commander-in-chief Liu Yi had a wide range of friends, and he was an uncle and nephew with reinforcements Zhang Taizong and Yu Liangzhen.
The Rotten Snake spy worked hard to find out that Liu Yi was not only Shi Tuzhi's proud student, but also a close nephew.
Knowing this, Ueda Kenkichi suddenly thought of Zhao Kuo in ancient China, discussed with the chief of staff, Tashiro Wanichiro, and decided to fight!
At 11 o'clock in the morning of the 18th, Ueda Kenkichi telegraphed to respond to the battle, and under the coordination of the League of Nations, the location of the battlefield was demarcated, and the battle was fought to the death.
The whole Songhu suddenly quieted down, both sides of the Yanlong and the Rotten Snake were busy transferring troops to Jiangwan and Miaoxing, setting up positions in their respective areas, Ueda Kenkichi transferred all the troops in Huating City to the field, he was more resolute than Liu Yi! To find out the outcome of the war, read the next chapter.
