He could only achieve Korean independence by acting as an assassin for others, which made everyone present feel ashamed and embarrassed, but the situation was so realistic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Rather than waiting for Chang Kaishin to recognize the provisional government of the Republic of Korea and help him form the Liberation Army, it is better to try to cooperate with the other side first, and the only thing I have to worry about is whether the other party will be able to achieve the conditions of recognition.

"Listeners, listeners, now the big news, the big news now. Under the personal leadership of our great Standing Committee, the Xue Yue Division of our Eastern Henan Corps today gathered in Zhangwan, south of Heze, to encircle and annihilate most of the 14th Division and the 2nd Brigade of the Field Artillery, annihilating more than 47,000 Japanese soldiers, killing more than 500 Japanese generals under Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, commander of the enemy's chieftain's division, and capturing 85 artillery pieces, 358 automobiles, and countless ammunition loads......

It has been learned that the 88th Armored Corps of our powerful National Revolutionary Army was the main force in this encirclement and annihilation, and the commander of the army, Lieutenant General Xu Tingyao, and deputy commander Lieutenant General Du Yuming, led the first section of the 88th Army to participate in the Battle of Taierzhuang, which played a decisive role in the successful encirclement and annihilation of the Segu Qishi Regiment by our Xuzhou Corps......

In the silence, the news broadcast on the radio on the second floor was loud, and the others didn't feel anything, but Jin Jiu became excited, and he said: "This is what Boss 7 said!" This is what the 7 boss said! In the excitement, he was a little speechless, and only after taking a breath did he say: "This is what Boss 7 said to Wan Jiu in London, Chairman Chang relied on his intelligence to fight against Japan, and now this victory relies on Boss 7's intelligence." Ladies and gentlemen, we must believe in Him! ”

Among the several people who attended the meeting, the simple-minded Minister of Military Affairs Cao Chenghuan wanted the Liberation Army, and he tended to cooperate with this mysterious figure, while the Minister of Finance Li Shirong and the Minister of Justice Park Chan-yi were cautious, Li Shirong was worried that the 7 boss was just making a blank check and could not help him form the Liberation Army, and the Minister of Justice Park Chan-yi considered a lot of problems, and was afraid of being deceived was one of them, the second was worried that the Chinese side would be very dissatisfied after knowing about it, and the last one was as a CC system, He didn't like the Provisional Government to contact the 7 bosses through the military commanders, after all, the military commanders had always supported Jin Ruoshan and others of the Liberation League.

But now that Yudong has won a great victory, this proves the ability of the 7 bosses, Li Shirong has already nodded, and Park Zanyi has no choice but to say: "If you really want to cooperate with this 7 boss, then this matter must be kept secret, in case the Chinese side and the military command are unhappy when they know about it." 7No matter how big the power behind the boss is, it can't surpass China's help to us, right? ”

"Secrecy is a must." Jin Jiu said seriously, "Now only you and me, Zhao Wanjiu and Li Fanshuang know about this matter, just these few people, and the others don't need to know." ”

Jin Jiu looked at everyone inquiringly, Cao Chenghuan was the first to nod, Li Shirong was the second, but he was very cautious, Park Chanyi finally nodded reluctantly, he wanted to say something but held back.

"This old man!" Shortly after the Chongqing Central Radio broadcast the news of the great victory in eastern Henan, Li Zongren, commander of the 5th Theater of Operations, who was on the way to retreat, also heard it -- I don't know how many times the Central Radio Station had rebroadcasted it. "And personally lead! also played a decisive role, he might as well say that the victory of Taierzhuang was also personally commanded by him! Li Zongren scoffed, Chang Kaishen can command a battle-level battle, it is an old sow on the tree, he just doesn't want to make trouble.

"It is estimated that Xue Boling and Du Guangting actually commanded it." Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of general staff, who had been assisting Li Zongren, came to a conclusion after a little thought, "Besides, this must be the Japanese spies who provided accurate information about the 14th Division, otherwise how could Lao Chang set up an ambush south of Heze?" ”

After all, Bai Chongxi is Xiao Zhuge and has guessed everything. And in the headquarters of the North China Front Army in the Tieshi Hutong of Beiping, the commander General Terauchi Shouichi, who heard the news, was furious. He didn't know that Kiyoji Kazuki and Kenji Dohihara had secretly changed his order to directly occupy Guide (Shangqiu), he just felt that a division and a heavy artillery brigade were completely wiped out by the Shina people in one day, which was impossible to happen, but it did happen, which can only show the incompetence of the division commander!

"Your Excellency, the Chinese Army did not completely annihilate the 14th Division." Major General Okabe Naosaburo, chief of staff, who received a call back from Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoji of the 2nd Army in Taiyuan, hurriedly came over to report. "The Shina Army is just ......" Speaking of this, Okabe Naosaburo suddenly felt a little painful, "The Shina Army only defeated most of the 14th Division, the 59th Wing, the 18th Cavalry Wing, the Tank Brigade, the Independent Mountain Artillery Wing, and the Siege Heavy Artillery Squadron were outside Lanfeng City at this time, and the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Wing and the 8th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Wing were still north of Heze. The division commander, Kenji Dohihara, now orders the field heavy artillery units to retreat immediately, while he will command the Toshimabo detachment to capture Lanfeng and finally occupy the Yellow River Chenliukou for support......"

"Why was the Chinese army able to defeat most of the division?" Hearing that the heavy artillery unit is still there, and the Toshimafang detachment is still there, Terauchi Shouichi's face is finally no longer so ugly, at least, the 14th Division was not completely annihilated by the Shina Army.

"I heard that Chang Kaishen personally commanded the 88th Armored Army, the most powerful in China." Naosaburo Okabe also listened to the news from the Chongqing Central Radio Station and replied to it.

"88 Panzer Corps?" Shouichi Terauchi also said that it was the first time he heard of this number. "Isn't the Chinese chariot unit still in Xuzhou?"

"Your Excellency, maybe it's just a trick of the Chinese Army, or it's just a detachment of the 88th Panzer Army. According to the configuration of the armored division of the independent country, the number of combat vehicles of the 88 armored corps in China should have exceeded two hundred. Okabe Naosaburo did not want to say much about the 88th Panzer Corps of the Shina people, he emphasized: "Now the Toshimabo detachment is less than 7,000 people, and ammunition is also scarce, if they can't capture Lanfeng or can't occupy Chenliukou, then the result is unpredictable." Your Excellency, we should send the most powerful air force to support the Toshimabo detachment in the battle, and the Sakai Takashi detachment should quickly move closer to Guide......"

What Okabe Naosaburo said was an emergency measure, and in his proposal, the air force was a vital force. At present, the three air groups were basically preventing the westward retreat of the Xuzhou army in China, and only increased their strength after encountering the China Air Force in eastern Henan in the afternoon.

"Immediately notify the air reinforcements, and the Toshimafang detachment must be withdrawn!" Terauchi Shou, with unwillingness and helplessness in his roaring voice. Although there are thousands of reluctances in their hearts, since the defeat of Taierzhuang, the country can no longer accept the second defeat of the Chinese Front, especially the complete encirclement and annihilation of a main division.

Terauchi Shou of Beiping was determined to rescue the Toshimafang detachment, the remnants of the 14th Division, and in the eastern Henan battlefield, although it was already dusk, Japanese planes were still hovering over the battlefield. The bombardment of the remnants of the 14th Division's headquarters had just ended, but fortunately, after Xu Tingyao ordered the tanks and cars of the troops to hide on the spot, the second order was to order the captured Japanese artillery, cars, gasoline, baggage and other important materials to be covered on the spot, so that most of the results were preserved before the Japanese bombers arrived.

In this battle, 12 of the 130 tanks of the 88th Army were destroyed and 17 were wounded -- most of this was the result of the Japanese artillery fire in front of the assault on the Japanese army, and 27 of them were also lost that broke down during the march to the battlefield. However, according to the report of Lieutenant Colonel Lee Eun-su of the repair battalion, the real loss in this battle was the eight tanks with explosive ammunition, and the rest of the tanks could be repaired. However, it takes time, with at least 11 destroyed and damaged vehicles and 12 broken down vehicles taking a lot of time to repair. This means that in a short period of time, the 88th Army can only use one hundred and one tanks in combat.

Although the car was not damaged or destroyed by the Japanese army, there were no fewer breakdowns in the process, but fortunately, more than 300 Japanese cars and a batch of gasoline were captured in this battle, and a lot of cannons, guns and ammunition that the 88 army did not have were captured.

As for the annihilated Japanese army, under the threat of Japanese aircraft, the results of the battle could not be counted for a while, but there was nothing to cover on the plain, and the corpses of the Japanese troops near the main battlefield were piled up, and they stretched to two or three kilometers outside the battlefield, and the remaining fleeing Japanese troops were being pursued and surrounded by motorized infantry divisions. For the time being, it is certain that more than 1,360 Japanese soldiers were captured, mainly the baggage, hospital, and logistics personnel of the Japanese rear unit, who were blinded by the first wave of armored assaults, and when they came to their senses, they were already under the guns of the motorized infantry division. There is a group effect in surrendering, a few people, a dozen people may choose to break jade, but hundreds of people or thousands of people surrender together, and the soldiers do not have the idea of killing themselves immediately.

Unlike Chang Kaishen, who focused on the results of the battle, the 88th Army was not only concerned about its own losses and captures, but also about the next operation. In view of the current battlefield situation, there are obviously two choices: one is to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the 14th Division to the west, and the other is to cross Heze at night to pursue the Japanese heavy artillery units that accompanied the 14th Division south. The distance between the two is 50 kilometers, and it is closer to the north, 50 kilometers is the distance to the crossing of the Yellow River, and according to intelligence, the heavy artillery unit is more than 10 kilometers north of Heze.

"Is there a call from the command?" The excited army commander Xu Tingyao looked at the chief of staff Liao Yaoxiang. It was almost dark, the Panzer Division had barely been repaired, and the 77th Motorized Infantry Division was already on standby—the intelligence weighed the heavy artillery force of only 6,000 men, and if the side only wanted to capture the heavy artillery, this was enough.

"Here we are." Liao Yaoxiang nodded, "But two different orders came. He took out the order from the former enemy command and the order from Kaifeng Chang Kaishen, which was very twisted, and this was the first time that the orders of the two command headquarters were inconsistent.

"The 106th Brigade went out of the city last night and was routed by the Japanese?" Xue Yue bluntly said the current situation of the 36th Division on the telegram, and Xu Tingyao was taken aback when he saw it.

"If you go out of the city, you will definitely be defeated." Du Yuming was full of thoughts—he was as worried about the Japanese occupation of Lanfeng as Xue Yue, but the principal's order was to make a surprise attack to the north according to the original plan, and ambush the Japanese heavy artillery units fleeing north near Dongkou. "According to the captured Japanese documents, in addition to a tank squadron in the 14th Division, there are also two armored vehicle squadrons, a tank brigade, and the 18th Cavalry Wing.

Speaking of the mobile force of the Japanese army, Du Yuming said: "This Tu Feiyuan is really cunning, knowing that it can't stop our attack, so he quickly took tanks and cavalry to the west to meet with the Toshimafang detachment, I think he wants to use this force to occupy Lanfeng first, attract the attention of our army and then surprise attack Chen Liukou, so as to kill a way out." ”

"But we have two divisions in Lanfeng City, Luo Wangdian and Chen Liukou have already arranged troops, and Huang Jie's 8th Army, there are six or seven divisions here, almost ten times the enemy, it is impossible to hold it, right?" Xu Tingyao hoped to expand the results of the battle to the north, and the Toshimafang detachment was already meat to his mouth in his opinion. "Just three days! In just three days, we can encircle and annihilate the Toshimafang detachment, and they won't be able to hold it for three days, right?! ”

What Xu Tingyao said was not unreasonable, but Du Yuming still didn't say anything. Liao Yaoxiang said: "Does the principal already know about the 106th Brigade?" ”

Seeing Liao Yaoxiang ask the 106th Brigade, Xu Tingyao and Du Yuming both laughed. Judging from the words on the telegram alone, Xue Yue must have not reported the matter of the 106th Brigade to the top, and it is very likely that the chairman ordered the 106th Brigade to leave the city. Xue Yue couldn't complain, so he had to warn him in a telegram to himself, and asked the 88th Army to abandon the battle plan of pursuing the Japanese heavy artillery units north of Heze and directly encircle and annihilate the Toshimafang detachment.

"Let's call the principal first, and remind the 27th Army that it must defend Chen Liukou!" Since Xue Yue didn't say anything about the 106th Brigade, why did the 88th Army bother? Du Yuming thought for a while, and finally only asked to remind Chang Kaishen to be sure to guard Chen Liukou.

"Well, let's draft a telegram in this sense." Xu Tingyao also agreed, "The chairman of the committee will not be unaware of the importance of Chen Liukou." After he said that, he said to Liao Yaoxiang: "Immediately order the troops to advance north of Heze, pursue the Japanese heavy artillery units at night, and make every effort to capture the Japanese heavy artillery!" There are also camouflage nets to be prepared, and after dawn we must have all Japanese planes overhead. ”

The 88th Army obeyed Chang Kaishen's order to go north, and Xue Yue, who received their reply, smiled bitterly, and he flicked the telegram with his fingers to report: "The 36th Division is attacking, and the 88th Army is also attacking, how can this battle be fought?" Brother Cheng You, I think we are still looking for two guns right away, ready to die here! ”

"It's not that serious." Yan Xunfu also read the telegram just now, and saw that the 88th Army was going north according to the original plan, and his heart was also very heavy, which is equivalent to saying that Lanfeng had to rely on the 108th Brigade of the 36th Division and the 195th Division to defend for three days, can they hold it? was worried in his heart, but he comforted himself: "No matter how you say that Lanfeng also has a city defense, more than 10,000 people can always defend it for three days, right?" ”

"Don't mention the 195th Division, the 36th Division has already been scared. You still think it's last year's Mechanic? It's all gone, it's all in Shanghai! Today's 36th Division is just a German-style steel helmet and a German-style kettle. Xue Yue shook his head vigorously, he instinctively felt the danger, which was even more serious than the Japanese plainclothes team attacking his headquarters in Shanghai last year. He had a hunch that he was likely to explain that he was here, and he should have prepared early. (To be continued.) )
