Lin Wei didn't answer, because he didn't know either, Li Zongren's telegram didn't say it. qВ5、ｃ0M

Sui County, less than 100 miles away from Shangqiu, the road is flat, the rapid mechanized troops can arrive in a day, from Shangqiu to Yongcheng is only a hundred miles, once the island arrives in Yongcheng, Luhan Deng Xihou, who is blocking Gu Shoufu south of Yongcheng, will be in danger, if Gu Shoufu breaks through their defenses, the 600,000 troops in the entire five theaters will be in danger.

"Niang Xipi, what is Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren doing? What about Yu Jishi? Where did he go? In his anxiety, Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and blurted out the national scolding, forgetting that Soong Meiling was present.

Lin Wei lowered his head, still didn't answer, he didn't know any of these circumstances, and he estimated that Li Zongren didn't know either, otherwise Li Zongren would have explained it in the telegram, and as for Bai Chongxi, I'm afraid it would be even more unclear.

"Great order," Song Meiling saw that Chiang Kai-shek was about to get out of control, and hurriedly stopped it softly: "Don't worry, since you have found their traces, Li Zongren and the Cultural Revolution will naturally find a way to deal with it, and if you wait, they will naturally have a telegram coming." ”

Lin Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Song Meiling was present, otherwise he really didn't know how to calm Chiang Kai-shek's anger. Everyone didn't expect Nakajima to be so bold, he deceived everyone, including his boss in Beiping, when everyone judged that he was going to Dingtao, he quietly bypassed Kaifeng and went south to Shangqiu.

"Let He Yingqin and Jiang Baili Chen Cheng come to me immediately." After hesitation, Chiang Kai-shek added: "Please invite the Russian adviser Chuikov to come with him." ”

Chuikov is the new head of the Soviet Russian military advisory group, the former general adviser Zhukov was transferred back to China, Chuikov took over his work, the first thing he did when he took office was to reach a radar, bazooka and transistin technology transfer agreement with China, this agreement made Chiang Kai-shek more satisfied, Soviet Russia agreed to provide 300 medium tanks and weapons and equipment of the three armies, in addition to help China build a railway from Xi'an to Dihua, the two sides signed a military technology exchange agreement, to help China build a tank factory and three light weapons factories. In addition, the Chinese side will authorize the production of penicillin in Soviet Russia, on the condition that it cannot be exported, and it will only be used in Soviet Russia.

Chiang Kai-shek didn't know how Li Zhilong negotiated it, and compared to them, these high-ranking officials in Wuhan were a bunch of rubbish, at least externally.

Soon the three of them came to the war room next to Chiang Kai-shek's villa, Chiang Kai-shek's villa was not large, and could not accommodate all the people in the attendant room, and a few rows of bungalows next to the villa became the war room where he commanded the operation, and his usual office was also here.

While waiting for the three of them, a telegram from Bai Chongxi and Zhuang Jihua also arrived, and Bai Chongxi explained in the telegram the reason why Nakajima was found only when he arrived in Sui County.

Nakajima did not attack Kaifeng, but bypassed Kaifeng, divided his troops at Baliwan west of Kaifeng, and harassed Lankao with the 1st Cavalry Brigade, but he himself led the main force of the 5th Mixed Brigade south to Qixian.

There were only a few dozen policemen and a security team of about 200 people in Qi County, and before Nakajima arrived at the city, he scattered in a hurry, and Nakajima defeated Qi County without a fight, and then he robbed all the things that had wheels in Qi County, and destroyed the Qi County Telegraph Office and the Telephone Office. Then they rushed to Sui County, and the county magistrate of Qi County, the chief of the police, and the captain of the security team all fled, and they did not know where to go, but an officer of a passing logistics detachment in Qi County ran to Tongxu to report to the theater of operations, and the theater headquarters found out. Li Zongren had already ordered Shangqiu to enter a state of full alert, and ordered the troops of the logistics department and the security team in Shangqiu to hold out for two days, and the 74th Army was rushing to Shangqiu day and night.

And Zhuang Jihua did not complain in the telegram, only reported his disposition. Zhuang Jihua had ordered the 41st Army on the Huhe front line to return to the 23rd Group Army, and the troops on the eastern front retreated in great strides, abandoning the Dawen River in Mengyin Fei County, Linyi, and the whole army retreated, Sun Lianzhong on the northern front retreated to Yanzhou, Zhang Zizhong on the middle road retreated to Zaozhuang, and Tang Enbo Sun Liren on the south road retreated to Taierzhuang. Yang Sen led the 20th Army of the 24th Group Army to retreat to the periphery of Xuzhou.

"Why did Zhuang Wenge retreat so quickly?" He Yingqin couldn't help frowning after reading Wanzhuang Jihua's telegram. Nakajima's actions may not be effective, but he actually retreated hundreds of miles, which is a bit of a frightened bird.

Chiang Kai-shek also had a gloomy face, and he had a very bad feeling in his heart, Zhuang Jihua had never been a timid person, there must be something wrong.

It was not the first time that Chuikov had attended such a meeting, and Bai Chongxi's battle plan was approved with his support, and when he learned the contents of the report from the interpreter, he could not help but say: "Mr. Chairman, it is extremely inappropriate for General Zhuang to do this, he is not preparing for battle, but arranging a retreat. If the Japanese army on the eastern front soon crossed the Yanzhou area, the plan to encircle and annihilate Honma Masaharu was likely to fail, and this would also encourage the Japanese army on the southern front to transfer the 41st Army from the Hun River to the right flank, thus weakening the frontal defense of the Hun River, and once the Japanese army broke through the front of the Hun River, Suxian would be in danger. I think that the deployment of the commander of the fifth theater of operations and its mistakes, in our Soviet Red Army, such a commander should be sent to a military court. ”

Looking at the usual arrogance of the Soviet Russians of Cui Kev, Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, Zhuang Jihua's deployment was a retreat deployment, which he had already seen, but it was too much to send it to a military court, not to mention the comparison of the Soviet Red Army, which not only made Chiang Kai-shek dissatisfied, but also made He Yingqin Jiang Baili Chen Cheng very dissatisfied.

"General Chuikov," Jiang Baili said calmly: "I think there is nothing wrong with the deployment of the five theaters, the attack on both sides of the Yellow River has not made much progress, this is one of them, the Japanese army on the southern front has frequently increased troops, and our army has been tired from fighting for a long time, and the army has lost a lot of troops, although it has been replenished twice, the combat effectiveness of the supplementary troops is very poor, so the overall combat effectiveness has not increased but decreased, this is a fact; Second, the 110th Division of the Japanese reinforcements was still mainly fighting on the Western Front, that is, on the right flank of our army, not completely on the front, so it was not necessary to transfer the 41st Army to the right flank. Third, the Cultural Revolution was also prepared for a frontal breakthrough, as evidenced by the transfer of the 20th Army back to Xuzhou. Speaking of this, he turned to Chiang Kai-shek: "Chairman, I don't think there is a problem with the deployment of the Cultural Revolution, and now the key to the problem is Juancheng, the four divisions of Honma were surrounded by our army on both sides of the Yellow River, but they were unable to be completely annihilated, dragging down a large number of our troops. ”

After the First Army was defeated, it has not been able to stop the effective **, there are only three brigades in the northern section of the Jinpu Line and the Henan section of the defense, two of which are still in Xinxiang, such a weak defense line has not been attacked, it is also a great wonder.

The Japanese army was not worried about the 22nd Group Army, which was all pressed to the periphery defense after the flank, and the 101st Division, which was originally going to stay in this section, was also transferred to Puyang to attack the 21st Army.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, after Honma established a defensive ring at Dongkou, Xu Zuyi's offensive was contained, and 200,000 troops were dragged down, making the war on the eastern and southern fronts increasingly dangerous.

"Chairman," Chen Cheng's face showed hesitation, and soon this hesitation disappeared, replaced by a decision: "The battle has developed to the present, I think that our mouth is too big in this battle, we have eliminated a large number of Japanese troops in the two battles of Nanjing and Xuzhou, but a careful analysis of these two battles can find that the number of enemies we destroy each time is relatively small, Nanjing annihilated 100,000 enemies, which is concentrated by several battles, Moshui counterattack and annihilation of about 8,000 enemies, the enemy's strength is nearly 10,000, and our side concentrates three integrated divisions, 50,000 people, Strength ratio 1:5; Guangde counterattacked, the Japanese army had one and a half divisions and 26,000 troops, and our side successively invested three armies and two divisions, with a total strength of 180,000 troops, and the ratio of troops was 1:7; In the Battle of Xuzhou, Linyi counterattacked, two divisions of the Japanese army, with a total strength of 50,000 troops, and three divisions of our five armies, with a total strength of 150,000 troops, with a ratio of 1:3, but this was a rout battle, and only part of the Japanese army was annihilated; Jining encircled and annihilated, the Japanese army one and a half divisions, with a strength of nearly 30,000 troops, and our side dispatched the 49th Group Army, the Third Group Army, and the 60th Army, with a total strength of 180,000 troops, which annihilated the 108th Division, with a ratio of 1:6, which was also an example of completely annihilating the Japanese division.

The analysis of these two battle examples shows that if we want to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army, the ratio of strength must reach more than 1:5, and the strength of the Japanese army cannot exceed three divisions, and the more the number of Japanese troops, the more strength we want to increase will be multiplied, this time we want to eat 100,000 men and horses of the four divisions of the Japanese army in one fell swoop, and the ratio of troops must reach more than 1:7. ”

Chen Cheng's analysis, everyone, except for Cui Kefu, is clear, the original campaign plan looks very grand and beautiful, everyone is carried away by the victory in Xuzhou, and when they see the four divisions sent up, there is still a reason not to go down, but in fact, China does not have the ability to eat the opponent's 100,000 troops at one time, and the scale of this battle is too large, exceeding the strength of the current squadron.

Chen Cheng's analysis is realistic, in the Battle of Stalingrad in the previous life, it took Soviet Russia three months and more than one million people to eliminate the 300,000 German troops in the encirclement, and in the 44 years of the Battle of Bagration, it also used more than one million people, the same more than three months, but almost completely annihilated more than 50 troops in the central cluster of the German army, driving straight into hundreds of miles; There is no other reason for such a big difference, the strength of the Soviet army has risen and the strength of the German army has decreased.

"Maybe the Cultural Revolution saw this and made such an arrangement." Jiang Baili muttered to himself in his heart, but he didn't speak, although Chen Cheng's analysis was reasonable, but the battle was already going on, and it was impossible to cancel it, and war had the law of war.

After Chen Cheng finished speaking, the room fell silent, and no one could make up their minds whether to give up like this or insist on fighting.

Cui Kefu looked left and right, and finally couldn't help it: "Mr. Chairman, I don't think we have the ability to annihilate the Japanese army in Juancheng, they have actually fallen into the encirclement of our army, they are extremely short of weapons and ammunition, and the logistics are cut off, for any military general, it is impossible to give up such an opportunity, we should continue to strengthen the attack on the Japanese army in Juancheng, annihilate them, even if we give up Xuzhou." ”

This is a very tempting proposal, even Chen Cheng is not easy to refute, after all, the opportunity to destroy the enemy is so obvious, it is difficult to give up now.

"Okay, telegraph to Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren, Zhuang Jihua, strengthen the offensive on both sides of the Yellow River, and let Shang Zhen command the First Army and the 32nd Army and other troops, and within two days must launch an attack on the northern section of Jinpu Road and cut off the northern section of Jinpu Road; The 71st Army and the 72nd Army must destroy the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Yellow River within three days, the Fifth Theater must destroy the Japanese troops on the south bank of the Yellow River within five days, and the 22nd Group Army must ensure the security of the northern front. The Fifth Theater of Operations can abandon Xuzhou if necessary to ensure the safety of the main forces. The 74th Army was limited to arrive at Shangqiu within three days and Yongcheng within five days, and be sure to destroy Nakajima Kangjian. Chiang Kai-shek gritted his teeth in these last words, and Nakajima's actions completely disrupted his deployment, and it was even possible to cause a complete defeat in the entire campaign.

Jiang Baili actually overestimated Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua didn't have time to summarize these things now, and the war situation was slow to see signs of improvement, which made him anxious, and the shadow in his heart was getting bigger and bigger, and retreating from the Eastern Front was his instinctive sense of danger. Gong Chu once objected to this decision, but Zhuang Jihua insisted on this, retreating to this position, and at least a few hundred miles less when needed.

"Commander, if you must retreat, it is better to withdraw a little farther away." Gong Chujian couldn't convince Zhuang Jihua, so he put forward his idea.

Zhuang Jihua looked at him with some doubts when he heard this, Gong Chu hurriedly explained: "The terrain of Yanzhou is flat, almost the entire city was destroyed in the last battle, the fortifications are not perfect, and there is no favorable terrain on the periphery. Moreover, there was no need for Zhang Zizhong to retreat to Zaozhuang, he retreated directly to the Taierzhuang area, connected with Tang Enbo, and used the terrain near Taierzhuang to block the Japanese army. ”

Zhuang Jihua immediately understood that this was a good idea: "You're right, I'm a little stubborn. Immediately ordered Sun Lianzhong to retreat to the west of the canal, rely on the canal to block Yoshio Shinozuka, deploy the 60th Army in Jining, and put the 276th Division of the 47th Army garrisoned in Yanzhou under his command. ”

The telegram ordered Zhang Zizhong to retreat to the Taierzhuang area, and make peace with the 20th Army Corps to form the Taierzhuang defense line, with Tang Enbo as the commander-in-chief. The new 22nd Division returned to Xuzhou. ”

"Yang Sen led the 20th Army to Pei County to strictly prevent the Japanese army from smuggling into Weishan Lake."

He sent a telegram to Li Zongren, hoping that Li Zongren would be able to report the battle on the north bank at any time, especially the situation of the 22nd Group Army's blockade, and this telegram was even sent to Tang Shizun and Pan Wenhua, and Zhuang Jihua had the contact code given by Liu Xiang.

The squadron retreated in great strides, which made the three command centers of the Japanese army in the south, south, and east feel urgent, and they all ordered to intensify the offensive. Nishio Shouzo commanded the three-way army to follow and pursue, and quickly caught up.
