Chapter 996: Comeback
Lao Gao simply told Hai Zi about the situation he encountered on the way, Hai Zi was taken aback, and was a little afraid: "Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise if Chen Wan'er was caught by the devil, how would I explain to Han Fei?" Luck is not bad, God still treats himself well. ”
"It's okay if you're okay, you've worked hard, go down and rest, the little devil has launched several attacks on the position in a row, and it's estimated that you'll have to come up again, you can't rest if you want to rest, hurry up!" Haizi said to Lao Gao, his eyes were full of care, and he was moved by Lao Gao, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, and returned to the station to rest, this time to escort Chen Wan'er to Wuhan, it was only three days in total, and there were two devil rangers on the way, and they were really tired of marching and fighting.
Han Fei received the secret letter from Chief Chen brought over by Chen Wan'er, opened it and took a look, his face slowly relaxed, and his original resentment against Chen Wan'er's unauthorized return was gone, he nodded and said softly: "Dad supports the choice I made, I hope I can continue to lead the troops over there to fight devils, he and his wife will go to Nanyang to raise funds for us to support the Anti-Japanese War, I don't worry, the second old man is so old, Nanyang is thousands of miles away, bumpy and difficult, I don't know if their bodies and bones can be eaten, Wan'er, You don't persuade the second elder either? ”
Chen Wan'er heard this, and her heart warmed: "I have persuaded me several times, my father has made up his mind, I'm afraid that the nine cows won't be able to pull it back, it's okay, there are many of our relatives and friends over there, as long as we can get there, there should be no problem with life or something, and once we openly defect over there, Lao Jiang will definitely not let us and my father go, so it seems that it is safer to go to Nanyang." ”
"Yes, at least you can avoid Lao Jiang's plot when you go to Nanyang, and now in this troubled era, the physical condition of the second elder can't follow us to fight guerrilla drills in the ravine, so it's reliable to go to Nanyang!" Han Fei nodded, this actual situation is in front of him, he can only choose a plan that is not quite that, it is impossible to cover everything, and with the continuous increase of Japanese troops, Wuhan may be conquered by the Japanese at any time, then only Chongqing can tolerate Chief Chen and them, and once he really pulls the team to defect to the New Fourth Army, with the character of Lao Jiang, it is impossible not to take measures against Chief Chen.
"Did Dad tell me exactly when you would go to Nanyang?" Chen Wan'er asked Han Fei.
Han Fei was slightly stunned, then nodded and said: "In the letter, he said that he would not leave until our plan was successful, and now he is in contact with relatives and friends in Hong Kong and Nanyang!" "Chief Chen has been galloping on the battlefield for decades, seeking stability in his work, not being impatient, and naturally being able to be as stable as Mount Tai, regardless of the wind and waves, as if he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, which Han Fei sincerely admired.
On a devil cruiser on the Yangtze River, the Devil Pota was having a meeting with his devil officers, and in the past few days, he had launched several frontal attacks on Madang Fortress without being able to make a breakthrough, although this direction was only his feint direction, but with so many troops attacking fiercely, and there was also aviation firepower and naval artillery fire support, the frontal landing battle was fought like this, and he also felt that he could not explain it to the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters, and the generals above had already warned him: If he could not attack Madang Fortress again, Then it is time to remove this forward commander of Hata! While the main forces of the imperial army in all other directions of the Battle of Wuhan had made progress, the eastern front was delayed for a long time, which was really a bit of a shame for the imperial army.
Hakuda immediately assured the dispatch command: "Give him another three days, and after taking the Xiangkou position first, the entire battle situation will be able to develop in favor of the imperial army." ”
Fortunately, there were a few of his old classmates in the base camp who helped him say a few words, so that the dispatch army headquarters reluctantly agreed to his request, in fact, at this moment, the devil's dispatch army headquarters could not change generals, because although the main forces of the devils in other directions had made some progress, due to the stubborn resistance of the Chinese army along the line, the casualties of the main force of the devils were not small, plus the logistics supply line was too long, and from time to time it was harassed by the local anti-Japanese forces, These main forces of the Japanese invaders besieging Wuhan seem to be a little overwhelmed,
Some devil generals even proposed to suspend the attack and wait until all the supplies were in place before launching the attack, on the grounds that the devil soldiers at the front had not been replenished for several days, and the morale of the fighters was low, and they could not start a continuous attack.
The headquarters of the dispatch army vetoed these requests to suspend the offensive, and the six devils of Hata Shun believed that although the main force of the China Army was two or three times more numerically than the imperial army, its combat effectiveness was far inferior to the elite of the imperial army, and the main force of the China Army had a characteristic, that is, as long as one of their defense lines was overcome, it would cause the collapse of the whole front, and a large number of aviation planes were sent to carry out non-stop bombardment of Wuhan and the surrounding positions of the China Army to disintegrate their combat morale, and at the same time all lines launched a fierce attack, It should be able to destroy the will to fight of the Chinese army in a short time and surround the main forces of these Chinese army near Wuhan.
Although some of the Devil's intelligence officers reported to Shunroku Hata that Communist troops had been spotted near the Madang area, they had resorted to guerrilla tactics of constantly attacking the Imperial Army's logistical supply lines, destroying roads, bridges, railways, and telephone poles, and other facilities, posing a number of threats.
But Hata's mind was completely on the frontal battlefield at the moment, and he disagreed with the communist troops who came up in the report: "The communist army troops near the Yangtze River are a rabble, and their equipment and combat effectiveness are not good, so don't care about them for now, and after taking Wuhan, we will send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, and now the main force of the Kuomintang in front of us is the big problem, and the communist army is just a disease of moss!" ”
The arrogance of Shunroku Hata determines his vision of the problem, and his impression is still stuck in the past, thinking that these Red Army survivors who have surrounded the Kuomintang in the cold col in the deep mountains for many years are not so equipped and combative, at best, they are just a group of peasants with guns, and against the elite of the imperial army armed to the teeth, it is simply like a mantis arm as a car, completely ignoring the reminders of the devil intelligence officers under him, insisting on breaking through the encirclement from the frontal battlefield, and then fighting a war of annihilation similar to the Battle of Songhu here, Completely destroy the main forces of the Kuomintang army that dared to resist the Imperial Army, and force the Kuomintang government to disarm and surrender, so that the Chinese incident could be resolved immediately.
The Hatian devil knows that the New Fourth Army is powerful, and half of the Fujii Brigade is really in the hands of the Jiangnan Detachment of the New Fourth Army, but at the moment he can't take care of this, what he has to do now is how to take the Xiangkou position in three days!
