Chapter 81: The Battle of Wuhan Breaks Out
In the next two months, all forces were uneventful, the devils did not organize a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Flying Fox Regiment again, and Chongqing did not make any reaction to the destruction of the contact point. Even the Yan'an side did not take any action, neither withdrew the discovered personnel, nor did they take the initiative to contact Chen Jinghui. In short, in the past two months, all forces have been guarding each other and complementing each other.
However, Chen Jinghui was not idle, and in the past two months, all units have not only filled the gap in their own soldiers, but also completed the basic training of soldiers. And recruited more than 3,000 people, and he will be organized into an independent regiment as a mobile unit of the Flying Fox Division. In addition, the soldiers of the independent regiment are trained according to the training methods of the special combat team, although they are not as big as the special combat team, but they are much stronger than ordinary units.
In terms of intelligence, he also arranged for Wei Hua to specially train a group of intelligence special combat personnel, and after the training was completed, they dispersed to various cities occupied by Jiangxi devils, and began to provide reliable intelligence for the Flying Fox Division.
The military factories have also not been idle for these two months, they continue to increase the production of machine tools, increasing the production line of automatic rifles to three, and now they can produce 300 units per day. Moreover, Hu Yi and Wu Gui recruited a lot of talents to go back during this time, and they had already begun to develop weapons such as pistols, artillery, tanks, and bazookas according to Chen Jinghui's proposal. As for the aircraft, they do not have the talent for this at the moment, so there is no research on this.
On May 25, 1939, Chen Jinghui was inspecting the situation of the independent regiment after being reequipped with new rifles, when a telegraph operator began to run towards him in a hurry with a telegram.
"Division commander, division commander, political commissar urgently, let you return to the sealing division headquarters immediately."
"Didn't you say anything?"
"Nope"
"What the hell is so urgent, forget it, I'll go back and see. Dali, Erwa, you two take me to review the combat strength of the independent regiment. ”
Seeing that he couldn't ask why, he had no choice but to arrange for a special combat team to help him check the status of the soldiers' use of the new rifles, and then go back to see the situation first.
"Uncle, what the hell is going on, calling me back in such a hurry."
More than an hour later, as soon as he walked to the door of the headquarters, he began to ask loudly.
"Jinghui, come and see these, they are all sent back from all over the country, and there is still new information coming back."
Chen Hu, who had been watching from the transmitter, immediately picked up the information he had received in front of him and showed it to Chen Jinghui after hearing about Chen Jinghui's business.
When Chen Jinghui saw the information handed over, his brain buzzed, he couldn't have imagined that there would be so much. Since the intelligence officers keep sending back, it means that something big is about to happen. He immediately picked it up and sat down at the table and looked at it.
According to this information, the devils began to mobilize troops on a large scale again, and the 106th Division of Nanchang began to assemble at the Nanchang wharf, and many ships had been docked on the wharf. The 3rd Wing of Yongxiu's 106th Division is also assembling and its whereabouts are unknown. Hoshiko's Murakami Wing is also gathering. In addition, the 32nd Division at the airport has entered a state of alert, and the 30th Division in Jiujiang has also begun to shrink its strength.
And it's not just the devils in Jiangxi who are moving, but there are also signs of large-scale assembly in Anhui next to it, and even Nanjing is in a tense atmosphere.
"Come on, get a map of the country."
Chen Jinghui spread out the map of the whole country on the conference table and began to mark the places mentioned in the intelligence at the beginning.
"Jinghui, Jinghui, this is the latest information sent back."
After Chen Jinghui marked the location named on the information, he began to study it around the map. At this moment, Chen Hu handed him some new information again.
The new information sent back said that the 106th Division in Nanchang had begun to board the ship, and the specific whereabouts were not yet known. Yongxiu's 3rd Wing of the 106th Division and Xingzi's Murakami Wing had already assembled and began to move in the direction of Jiujiang. The 30th Division has been assembled, and there is no sign of its advance at present. In addition, the devils in the direction of Anhui began to move westward.
Seeing the latest movements of these devils, Chen Jinghui began to remark them on the map, marking the direction of the devils' movements one by one with arrows.
He looked at the movements of the devils he was currently mastering, and he began to calculate in his heart. Because he found that the devils were mobilized on a large scale, and the purpose seemed to be to Wuhan, and the devils were likely to launch the second Wuhan battle.
"Come on, let's find out the latest situation of the national army and give it to me."
Ten minutes later, Chen Hu gave him two letters of information about the Nationalist Army. The intelligence vaguely said that the Kuomintang army had recently transferred Li Zongren's troops from Liangguang to the north, and that the Hunan army had also been transferred to varying degrees. Most of the Central Army was concentrated in the important towns around Wuhan.
Combined with the above information, it can basically be concluded that the second battle of Wuhan is about to break out.
"Jinghui, according to the situation marked on your map, the devil wants to launch the second battle of Wuhan."
Seeing the marks made by Chen Jinghui on the map, it is basically clear at a glance, as long as anyone with a little military knowledge can see that the devil has begun to prepare for the second battle of Wuhan.
"Uncle, you guessed right, the devil is very likely to be planning the second battle of Wuhan."
"The little devil is still not giving up, and he still wants to continue to forget himself."
"Uncle, don't talk so much about it, immediately call back the military and political chiefs of all the troops, and we will discuss how to deal with this Wuhan battle."
Soon, the military and political directors of all units who received the urgent telegram from the division headquarters rushed back to the sealed division headquarters with a whip.
"Everyone is here, I believe you have seen the map on the table, and then let the chief of staff give you a detailed introduction."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Jinghui was not verbose, and directly asked the chief of staff to start introducing the current form.
"You see, at present, the troops of the 106th Division of Nanchang, Yongxiu, and Xingzi are all moving in the direction of Jiujiang, and the devils in Anhui are also approaching the west on a large scale. It seems that the Kuomintang army has received the news, and has also made arrangements around Wuhan, and even transferred part of Li Zongren's troops from Liangguang to the front line in Hunan. The 32nd Division of the Devil's Airport has entered a state of high alert since yesterday, and it is not allowed to approach the airport for a kilometer outside the airport. That's the latest picture. ”
After the chief of staff finished speaking, he did it and handed over the right to speak to Chen Jinghui.
"Division commander, the devil is going to start the Battle of Wuhan!"
"Yes, division commander, you can see the movements of the devils, as well as the defense of the national army, which can explain all this."
"Yes, the first brigade commander and the third brigade commander are right, and we think so too."
After listening to the explanation of the deployment of troops on both sides, and then looking at the annotations made by Chen Jinghui on the map, everyone agreed that this was the rhythm of the battle of Wuhan.
"Everyone can see that the political commissar and I and the chief of staff also believe that the devil will launch the second battle of Wuhan in the near future. Therefore, I have gathered you here today to see your opinions, what you think of this Wuhan battle, and what we should do. To participate or not to participate. ”
Chen Jinghui affirmed everyone's opinions, and immediately threw out his own questions, so that everyone could make a decision together.
"Division commander, I think we should make a devil behind our backs, it just so happens that the troops in their rear are empty now."
"This is a great opportunity for the division commander, we can exchange the minimum cost for the maximum benefit."
"Division commander, political commissar, not to mention far away, at least we can take Yongxiu, Xingzi, and even Jiujiang."
Chen Jinghui was very pleased to see everyone enthusiastically expressing their opinions, which shows that the people below understand their brains. As long as you are willing to use your brain to solve problems, you can grow faster.
"Commander, I think your ideas are really good. But none of them had an original intention, or they participated in it to strengthen themselves. I want to ask you, even if we take the places you mentioned, but Wuhan is lost, and then the whole of Hubei will be lost. So as soon as the battle of Wuhan is over, the devils will gather heavy troops to come back and surround us, what should we do then? ”
Suddenly, Wei Hua, who was standing in front of Chen Jinghui, opened his mouth to express his opinion, and kept pointing to the location of the devil's airport with his hand.
Hearing Wei Hua's unique insight, everyone else began to shut their mouths and think. Only Chen Jinghui nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Wei Hua.
"Wei Hua is right, everyone has forgotten the original intention of joining the war. Our purpose is to respond to the battle of Wuhan, not to occupy many places. There is also this airport, once the battle of Wuhan starts, this airport will be the biggest threat to the entire Wuhan station, because as long as it takes off from here, it can cover the entire battlefield. Therefore, if we want to really assist in the battle of Wuhan, then our first task at hand is to find a way to defeat this airport. ”
Chen Jinghui took over Wei Hua's topic and directly expressed the key points.
"Commander, we were wrong, we didn't think it through."
Hearing Chen Jinghui's words, those brigade commanders and political commissars all bowed their heads, because they considered the problem too simply, did not hit the nail on the head, and really failed Chen Jinghui's cultivation.
"Okay, let's just think about it in the future. When you go back, you will assemble your troops, and if you need to participate in the battle, I hope you can arrive as soon as possible. ”
"Yes"
"Order the special operations team to keep an eye on the movements at the airport."
"Yes"
At present, I don't know what the battle will be, so Chen Jinghui has to make temporary arrangements and make specific adjustments after the battle breaks out.
On June 2, 1939, the national army defending Shizi Town, Hubei Province had a fierce exchange of fire with the devils, and so far, the Second Battle of Wuhan officially began.
