"Sir, the Japanese army has crossed the Yellow River. When Li Kongrong got off the plane in Switzerland, Captain Zhong Qiangong handed over a telegram from China, which was sent by Du Yuming, and Li Kongrong arrived on the day he left Berlin.www.biquge.info

"The ...... crossed the Yellow River," Li Kongrong recalled Du Yuming's telegram. Since there is an armored cluster, the battle of Lanfeng must be fought, and since Kenji Dohihara is rushing south, he naturally wants to eat the entire 14th Division Heavy Artillery Brigade.

And Li Kongrong found that his actions would affect history, the Battle of Kelanfeng was the follow-up to the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Xuzhou was the follow-up to the Battle of Nanjing, and the defender of Nanjing was the follow-up ...... of the Battle of Songhu. The highway is average, and if you are not at a fork in the road, the car will have to keep going. Even when you get to the fork, there are many options, and some forks can be turned around and completely off the existing route; Others can only temporarily diverge off the main road, and soon the car will still return to the main road.

Today's China has been on the road since the July 7 Incident, and August 13 is considered to have passed the first fork in the road, and the opportunity to change history at this time is very, very limited. The assassination of Stalin was the second fork in the road, but it was not only a fork in the road for China, but for the whole world. What will happen to the world if Comrade Iron hangs up and the Nazis completely defeat the USSR?

In Zhong Qiangong's view, Du Yuming's telegram was a very small matter that could be ignored, but it caused Li Kongrong to think deeply. He was also reminded of Cho Wan-gu, Minister of the Interior of the Provisional Government of South Korea, and Lee Beom-shuang, chief of staff of the Liberation Army, whom he met in London. Although Jin Jiu, whom he met, could not come because he was assassinated, the two sides still had a pleasant conversation after all, and some agreements were reached.

For example, Lee Kong-rong agreed to help the Liberation Army train troops armed with at least one division within five years, promised to fund the South Korean provisional government starting next year, and promised to help Chang Kaishen recognize the South Korean provisional government through his connections. The South Koreans did not have much to do, only three things: first, to provide several killers for his use; second, to set up an intelligence network against Japan with the financial support of Lee Kong-young to collect information related to the Japanese navy and shipping; and third, the troops of the Liberation Army formed by him must assist him in his war against Japan, and ensure that they will be replenished as soon as they are destroyed and will not be consumed.

Zhao Wanjiu was asked to come by Dai Li, no matter what Dai Li said before coming, Zhao Wanjiu knew that Li Kongrong was a person valued by Chang Kaishen, which was the basis for him to believe in Li Kongrong. But apparently this was not enough, and in the secret reception room provided by Colonel Russell, the masked Li Kongrong told Zhao Wanjiu a startling message in a written conversation: several victories of the Chinese army had been achieved by relying on the information provided by him, and the battle of Lanfeng was now being a column.

It was another wizard-like prophecy, Zhao Wanjiu was surprised and didn't delve into the truth of the matter, and he couldn't verify the truth of the matter now. The agreement was reached, and the next thing was naturally that Li Kongrong discussed the training of North Korean intelligence officers with the British MI6, but unfortunately this issue was not negotiated, and Britain was unwilling to intervene in Northeast Asia and did not want to train North Koreans, so this matter could only be kicked back to Dai Li, and the training of North Korean intelligence personnel would be handed over to him, which could be regarded as a peripheral organization of the military command.

After thinking of the fork in the road in the world, Li Kongrong considered such a thing: whether to prevent the discovery of atomic nuclear fission at the end of this year. This is a fork in the road for the whole world, but Li Kongrong doesn't care about the world after the war, what he cares about is how he benefits from this matter and when the war of resistance will end.

If it is stopped, then the Swiss Atomic Research Laboratory, which is short of funds, may be able to build a small, non-self-sustaining nuclear reactor for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then use these things to fool the Americans and sell them for a good price; If you don't stop it, after Einstein's letter, the Manhattan Project begins, and you can only help at best.

However, coming to such an objective conclusion does not represent his true thoughts, and Li Kongrong found that his real thoughts were: Would the War of Resistance against Japan have ended in 1945 without the atomic bomb? If so, then why give this thing to the Yankees?! It would not have been better to continue to study secretly after the war - the theory of nuclear fission would indeed be discovered sooner or later, but if it were not for the fear that the Nazis would have possessed the atomic bomb, Einstein would not have written to Roosevelt, and Roosevelt would not have pushed for the Manhattan Project with a 'you have and I have it'. War breeds weapons, assuming that the theory of nuclear fission was discovered in the late stages of the war, and Hitler ordered the cancellation of all studies that did not bear fruit within a year, would the Americans still have the Manhattan Project?

But then again, if tens of millions of dollars are not invested in the aircraft carrier fleet, but are all invested in the atomic bomb project, and after achieving certain results, the only condition is to build an atomic bomb and use it against Japan immediately. Even if the Manhattan Project had started in 1940, the War of Resistance Against Japan would have ended in 1943. In this way, he didn't have to take risks, and he also nuclear Japan, and ended the War of Resistance in advance, which is simply comparable to the keyboard to save the country and expand the map.

On the road from Zurich Airport to Baoma, where the institute is located, Li Kongrong was silent, and when he got out of the car, he reflected on his thoughts and suddenly came to a ridiculous conclusion -- he cared about whether the atomic bomb should be handed over to the United States, and did not care about whether to assassinate Otto Hahn and his colleague Lize Meitner. In that case, kill Liser Meitner while he is still in Berlin.

The battle outside Heze continued. The well-trained Japanese soldiers always spread out when attacking, and when they heard the 'thump' of the Maxim heavy machine gun and the 'da-da' of the Czech light machine gun, they would fall to the ground and look for all possible cover, leaving only the looming helmet. At the moment when the defenders' machine guns are reloaded, they will quickly get up and rush forward, and at the same time, the grenadiers carried by the soldiers will also take the opportunity to suppress the defenders' machine gun positions.

On the position of the 526th Regiment of the 88th Division, the company commander Huang Ziqiang, an old platoon who escaped from Nanjing, squinted at the movements of the little devil, but kept shouting, "Grenade!" Hand grenade! Bayonet! Get on the bayonet!! ”

The 88th Division, which was once equipped with German weapons, is no longer an elite unit, and the soldiers and non-commissioned officers are either honest peasants or graduates of military academies with few beards. Relying on only ten veterans, he can effectively manage a company of more than 100 people, but the training ground is completely different from the battlefield, and the recruits will forget all about the earlier training as soon as they hear the sound of artillery.

The heavy machine gun, which is the pillar of fire, is still spilling bullets on the outside, and its sound is rhythmic, 'Bang bang... Bang bang... Bang ......bang, 'Hearing such a voice, Huang Ziqiang's heart was relieved, but the good times did not last long, just as he went to kick a recruit who was not equipped with a bayonet, there was a 'bang', and a heavy machine gun was blown away, which was a Japanese grenadier. Taking advantage of the effort to remove the heavy machine guns, the Japanese soldiers who were crawling on the ground suddenly got up and attacked.

"Grenade! Hand grenade! Huang Ziqiang shouted, and in the smoke of gunpowder, his loud shout seemed to drown out the sound of Japanese artillery. Suddenly, grenades rained out, and a puff of smoke exploded in front of the trench, but there were still devils rushing in. After all, recruits are recruits, and the bold ones rise from their trenches to stab at the enemy in the distance, while the timid ones huddle in the trenches and tremble.

"Oops!!" Huang Ziqiang was so angry that he stomped his foot, he really wanted to shoot the cadet who took the lead in jumping up the trench. He thought so, and this thought was still in his mind, and this tender-faced student was shot and killed by the Japanese. And as the heavy machine gun on the left also stopped firing, the little devils lying on the ground all rushed over.

"Huang Ziqiang! He. Damn it! "Li Qianghua, the commander of the 526th Regiment in the rear, kept an eye on the attacking Japanese troops, and in the smoke and dust, he could barely see the Japanese troops rushing into the defenders' positions -- he also broke through from Nanjing, riding on a naval gunboat." Mortars, block the rear of the Japanese army, open fire immediately! Fire now!! Li Huaqiang grabbed the phone and gave an order to the mortar company in the regiment, he was afraid that the Japanese army would find out and did not dare to open fire, but now he can't care so much.

The front-line bean chariot was destroyed by the Shina army, and the commander of the 27th Wing, Nasu Yuo Daisa, was surprised by what kind of weapon the Shina people used, and his own soldiers rushed into the enemy camp with white blades. It's just that the situation is not optimistic, if the follow-up troops can't continue to invest in this breakthrough, their own soldiers will be driven back by the Shina people. The wing commander knew what was going on, and the captain of the front, Shimizu Shaoza, also knew very well that when the front line paper rushed into the position of the Chinese army, he ordered the reserve to attack immediately.

But at this time, the artillery of the Chinese army, which had been silent, suddenly sounded, and the 82mm mortar shells 'chirped... Chirp... Chirp ......' smashed at the front of the position, barely constituting a barrage. At this time, the Chinese and Japanese soldiers fighting in the trenches were completely cut off by the barrage of both sides. In the rear is a barrage built by Japanese mountain artillery and heavy artillery, and in front is a line of fire composed of 82mm mortars of the 526th Regiment, but with the suppression of the enemy's mountain artillery, the 'chirping' of the mortars is getting quieter and quieter, and in the end it is not heard at all.

Even if the number of people is equal in a white-knuckle battle, the **** will be defeated, under the blockage of artillery fire, the reinforcements in the rear will not come up, and the two battalions of the 526 regiment will not be able to stop the Japanese at all. During the fighting, grenades continued to explode, which was the death of the soldiers and the little devils, but the colored flags of the Japanese broke through the position were still planted on the trenches, and after their own barrage disappeared, the Japanese troops behind rushed up again.

"Withdraw!" Huang Ziqiang used a pistol to blow two devils, pulled up a soldier and dragged it back, he blew the whistle of retreat while putting the gun, everyone understood the whistle, under the cover of the grenade, the defenders retreated step by step, and finally jumped into the trench and retreated to the rear along the traffic trench.

"Onboard!" The little devils, who were worried about the counterattack of the Chinese army's artillery fire, shouted and jumped into the defenders' trenches, and most of them avoided the last rapid fire fired by the mortar company of the 526th regiment.

"What?! The positions of the 526th regiment were lost! At the headquarters of the 88th Division, Major General Chen Sunong, the chief of staff who answered the phone, shouted violently. The positions of the 526th Regiment were connected to the city defense positions, and a gap was opened on his side, indicating that the Japanese tanks would soon be able to attack.

"...... immediately" Chen Sunong was just about to give the order for the 526th Regiment to recapture its position, but the phone was held down by the division commander, Lieutenant General Long Muhan.

After the phone was hung up, Chen Sunong was puzzled: "Commander, this is ......"

"It doesn't matter if we lose our position, we're going to move in tonight." Long Muhan took an order and said, this is a retreat order issued by the army commander Song Xilian, and the time is tonight.

"Transfer? That Heze, this ......" Chen Sunong was only the chief of staff of the army and the chief of staff of the 88th Division, and he did not know the entire battle plan, but he remembered the order to block the enemy's main force outside Heze City.

"Brother Shulong, do what you are told, and don't ruin the principal's plan. Quickly, inform the troops to prepare to move in immediately, and leave at night. Long Muhan reminded, in fact, he had long wanted to withdraw, but the military law was like a mountain, and he didn't dare to withdraw if he wanted to, and now that the order came, his heart had already flown to Lanfeng - who wanted to be constantly bombarded by 48 150mm howitzers.

The 88th Division stationed in the west of Heze City is preparing to retreat, the 61st Division in the north of Heze City is also preparing to retreat, and under Dingtao City, 20 kilometers south of Heze City, the 36th Division and the 87th Division are reinforcing their positions. According to the battle plan, the troops transferred from Heze only withdrew to the direction of Shangqiu and gave way to the direction of Kailanfeng, the purpose of which was to allow the 14th Division to attack Lanfeng instead of Shangqiu.

When the troops on the Heze front were preparing to retreat, Lieutenant General Xu Tingyao, the headquarters of the 88th Army in Beiguan Town, also received an order from the frontline defenders to retreat and abandon Heze. The moment he got his compatriots, Xu Tingyao's hands suddenly trembled a little -- more than 100,000 soldiers of the Eastern Henan Corps all revolved around the 88th Army, as well as the air force in the rear and the Soviet and Russian air forces aiding China, which were also ready to provide air cover for their surprise attack at any time, and the chairman of the committee and the entire battle plan were arranged by him after discussing with himself and Du Yuming......

So many people are all for the 88th Army's armored assault with bayonets, but what if I have already detected my own combat intentions? What if the Japanese heavy artillery units were deployed within two hours? What if there is a problem with the armored assault tactics that have not been fully tested in Taierzhuang?

Xu Tingyao pinched the telegram and never had an accident, all he thought about was that the battle was unfavorable. Liao Yaoxiang, the chief of staff on one side, said: "...... The bridge troops had prepared timber in advance on several rivers, and they would be able to build bridges over the river the night before the assault. Now the question is that it is not clear which side the bandits will choose? and when his heavy artillery brigade and main force will come out of Heze City. ”

"How's the covert work?" Du Yuming asked. The armored assault should be sudden, he was worried that the little devil would see something, in case they marched at night, he would stare dryly, and he really didn't know how to fight the armored night battle.

"With the guidance of local old farmers, and the crops in the field are already more than half a person tall, concealment is not a problem." Liao Yaoxiang has personally been to Siming River, Huangcai River, and Zhaowang River, and has personally determined the location of the river crossing. Moreover, not only him, but all the officers above the platoon commander of the tank brigade were arranged by Du Yuming to go out for a walk, in order to prevent them from getting lost during the surprise attack -- the crops in the field were already very high, there was no reference in the field, and it was common for outsiders to get lost.

"It depends on how the bandits choose!" Du Yuming didn't notice that his superiors were worried, and his palms were full of sweat. He had great confidence to encircle the Japanese in this barren wilderness. (To be continued.) )
