Chapter 843 Can You Hold Changsha?

As soon as the meeting of the Shandong Bureau ended, Qian Zhuangfei hurriedly came to Liu Yimin and reported that he had received top-secret information that the Sixth Division in Lianyungang had already been secretly deployed, and that it was the Lianyungang garrison of the Japanese army that remained in Lianyungang. These little devils disguised the Sixth Division to confuse our army.

When Liu Yimin heard this, he remembered that this time in history was the time when the first battle to defend Changsha was in full swing, and the Japanese army also broke through the Miluo River defense line of Guan Linzheng today, and the Sixth Division was needless to say that it was secretly transferred south to attack Changsha. It's just that the 33rd Division has been wiped out by our army, and I don't know which unit the Japanese army used to replace the 33rd Division.

Could it be that the commander of the North China Front has been replaced, and the Japanese army's plan to lure and annihilate our army in Qingdao has not been implemented?

Liu Yimin felt that this little devil was really arrogant, the 23rd Division and the 7th Division were disabled by the Soviet Red Army, and the 114th Division was disabled by the Eighth Route Army

I also blame myself, just thinking that the Japanese army was going to lure our army into being fooled in Qingdao, thinking that the Sixth Division and the Ninth Division were on the Longhai Line, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to launch the first Battle of Changsha as it did in history. This Chiang Kai-shek is also strange that such a big war was not reported to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Doesn't he need the Eighth Route Army to cooperate in the battle?

Not daring to slack off, Liu Yimin ran to the map with three feet and two steps, examined it carefully, and then asked Qian Zhuangfei to contact Qingdao and Xuzhou immediately, and be sure to find out if there was any change in the enemy situation in these two places.

Qian Zhuangfei reported that he had verified it and there was no change. It was still the 9th Division guarding the eastern section of the Longhai Road, and the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Guards Division, the Heavy Artillery Brigade and the Qingdao Garrison were guarding Qingdao.

Liu Yimin asked Qian Zhuangfei to immediately contact Shen Zui of the Communication and Liaison Group of the Nationalist Army's Resident Instructors, and asked him to contact the Military Commission to inquire about the movements of the Japanese army in Central China.

This was the first time Liu Yimin took the initiative to contact the communication and liaison group of the national army, and it didn't take long for Shen drunk to come.

At this time, it was already late at night, but Shen was drunk but still in a neat military uniform and with a spirited face, and it was clear that he hadn't slept at all.

After seeing Liu Yimin, Shen Zui saluted first, and then reported that he had always wanted to see General Liu, but he never saw him. Is it possible to ask General Liu to give an explanation below, so that he can see General Liu at any time. Chairman Chiang instructed that the communications liaison group must act with General Liu, and if General Liu has a major military operation, can he consider bringing the communications liaison group with him to facilitate contact with the Central Military Commission?

Where will Liu Yimin let him follow him, wouldn't that put Chiang Kai-shek's eyes on his side? Therefore, Liu Yimin even saved his politeness, and directly told Shen Zui that he came to understand the wars in northern Jiangxi, southern Hunan, and northern Hunan, and if he grasped the situation, he would hurry up and introduce it.

Shen Zui didn't say nonsense, Chiang Kai-shek did ask his communication and liaison group to follow Liu Yimin, but he couldn't complete this task. Liu Yimin's battles were all erratic, suddenly in the east and suddenly in the west, and he was at a loss at all.

Listening to Liu Yimin's unquestionable voice, Shen Zui suddenly had a terrible idea, that is, he took out a pistol and shot this guy who often disobeyed the orders of the chairman. In that case, it is likely that the chairman will solve a problem for his henchmen.

This thought was only a thought for a moment, and Shen Zui knew that it was impossible. Because no one, including Dai Li, ordered him to do anything to Liu Yimin, and he didn't have a chance to do it. Don't say that you can't usually see Liu Yimin, but what can you do if you stand face to face now? I'm afraid that when he takes out his gun and doesn't have time to fire, he will be beaten into a hornet's nest. Besides, although Liu Yimin didn't listen to Chairman Jiang very much, he was never ambiguous in fighting devils, he was a standard anti-Japanese hero, and he was still needed in the War of Resistance

After sorting out his thoughts, Shen Zui respectfully reported that he had not received a report on the war in northern Jiangxi, southern Hunan, and northern Hunan.

Liu Yimin told Shen Zui to immediately send a report to the Military Commission, asking for a report on the situation of the enemy and us in the battlefields of northern Jiangxi, southern Hunan, and northern Hunan so as to facilitate cooperation in the battle. Go and get back, he's here waiting for news.

Shen Zui hurriedly saluted, and then walked out quickly and sent a report back to the communication and liaison group.

After Shen left drunk, Liu Yimin sat at his desk and was silent, silently thinking about the information of Nishio Shouzo, Tada Jun, Okamura Ninji, and Umezu Mijiro.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that these people were not simple, and it goes without saying that Nishio Shouzo was able to bypass Terauchi Shouichi and Sugi Sugimoto as the commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, which shows that he is not only a professional soldier, but also has a very flexible mind and knows how to change. Tada Jun is also okay, and the cage policy he has engaged in is really a killer weapon for dealing with guerrilla warfare. If it weren't for the strong firepower of the instructor now, like the firepower level of the Eighth Route Army at this time in history, there would really be no way to use his trick, so I could only engage in large-scale sabotage warfare. Needless to say, Okamura Ninji is the most powerful person in the Japanese army, and he is a ruthless character like Shunroku Hatakea and Shouichi Terauchi. Umezu Mijiro is also powerful, clear-minded, thoughtful, ruthless, when he was in Shanxi, he kept sweeping, and a first army actually contained the main force of Wei Lihuang's department, Yan Xishan's department and the Eighth Route Army. This guy is more capable than the original commander of the Kwantung Army, Kenkichi Ueda. As soon as he assumes the post of commander of the Kwantung Army, the relationship between the Kwantung Army and the base camp will become closer, and the Kwantung Army will develop on a large scale.

Thinking about it, Liu Yimin felt that the Japanese army's personnel adjustment this time was really replaced by powerful characters. Among these people, there may be Nishio Shouzo who is slightly weaker.

Thinking about it, Liu Yimin remembered that none of these demons in history went to the gallows, Tada Jun was acquitted, Okamura Ninji didn't even enter prison at all, and was protected by Chiang Kai-shek, Nishio Shouzo only lived in prison for two years, and only Umezu Mijiro was sentenced to life imprisonment and died of cancer in prison. How can this work? According to their crimes, not to mention being chopped up like Gu Shoufu, not to mention being put on the gallows, at least they have to be shot, right?

When Shen Zui walked into Liu Yimin's office again accompanied by Qian Zhuangfei, Liu Yimin was already waiting a little anxious.

Shen Zui handed over a report from the Military Commission on the Battle of Changsha.

After Liu Yimin saw it, it was exactly the same as in history, the Japanese army launched an attack from northern Jiangxi on September 14, and the Japanese 106th Division and the 101st Division faced the three group armies and eight armies commanded by Luo Zhuoying; On September 22, the Japanese 15th Division launched an attack from the Nanshan and Tongcheng areas of Hubei to the direction of Pingjiang and confronted Yang Sen's 27th Army; On September 18, Okamura Ninji personally commanded the 6th Division, the 3rd Division, and the 13th Division, with a total of 50,000 men, to launch an attack on the defense line north of the Xinqiang River in northern Hunan Province, and fought fiercely with the Guan Lin Expeditionary Department of the 15th Group Army for five days and nights. As of today, the main force of the Japanese army in northern Hunan has crossed the Miluo River and swooped down in the direction of Changsha.

After reading the report, Liu Yimin paced lightly in the office, and after about five minutes, Liu Yimin stopped pacing and said to Qian Zhuangfei and Shen Zui: "Record telegram: General Headquarters, Military Commission, and Acting Commander Xue Yue of the Ninth Theater: The purpose of the Japanese army's launching of the Battle of Changsha is to find and annihilate the main force of our Ninth Theater and seize Changsha. Judging from the current battlefield situation and the enemy's situation, Okamura Ninji made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, treating the main force of the Central Army of our Ninth Theater as a ragtag army and underestimating the combat effectiveness of our army. At the same time, Okamura Ninji also underestimated the determination of our people to resist the Japanese and resist the humiliation, and under the condition that we made every effort to destroy the transportation, the Japanese army's mechanized superiority could not be brought into play. According to the deployment of the enemy's troops, Okamura Ninji should have calculated and equipped his strength according to the standard of a Japanese brigade defeating one of our divisions. In the southern direction of Jiangnan, the 106th Division was the main attack, with the 101st Division assisting; The 15th Division in the southern Hunan direction was a roundabout sneak attack, and once it was discovered by me, it could only be used as a diversion. What really worked was the 50,000 Japanese troops in the direction of northern Hunan. The Japanese army's method of warfare was to cooperate with a frontal attack with a flank raid, and the loss of Yingtian was not only a clear proof of this, but also a tactic of the 15th Division in southern Hunan. Our army, on the other hand, concentrated 300,000 troops from the Ninth Theater to participate in the battle, with the goal of holding Changsha, relying on the natural defense lines of the Xinqiang River, Miluo River, and Laodao River to fortify layer by layer. So far, it can be concluded that Changsha is worry-free, and the Japanese offensive is difficult to continue. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yimin took out a cigarette, lit one, smoked it, and said in a slow and low tone: "The Japanese army has insufficient mobilized troops, and in order to cover the combat intention, it launched an attack in three directions. After a long time, the Japanese army was forced by logistical pressure and fear of being annihilated, so they would stop attacking and retreat on all fronts. Therefore, it was suggested that Commander Xue immediately adjust his deployment and set up an ambush circle north of Changsha, striving to lure and annihilate the Japanese army, and at the same time make preparations for chasing and destroying the Japanese army. In the direction of northern Jiangxi, it is ridiculous that the 106th Division, a fourth-class unit of the Japanese army, which had been repeatedly hit, was chased and beaten by the Japanese army, and lost its positions one after another. Luo Zhuoying should be strictly ordered to make arrangements for the complete annihilation of the 106th Division and solve the problem within a time limit. In this battle, our army will win the battle when and where the people are favorable. ”

After pondering for a while, Liu Yimin said: "In order to prepare for the Battle of Changsha, all units in the Fifth Theater should launch a feint attack on the enemy in front of them to contain the Japanese army. ”

After thinking about it, in order to stimulate Xue Yue, Liu Yimin added another sentence: "Ask Commander Xue Dai: Can you hold Changsha?" If I can't hold it, I am willing to automatically ask for help and fly to Changsha to command the battle. ”

After speaking, Liu Yimin confessed to Qian Zhuangfei and Shen Zui: "Send it out immediately, 100,000 urgent"
