Chapter 321: Southeast Asia Begins
"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you. Next time, if you dare to slow us down, we won't be able to spare you. ”
Since Chen Jinghui was fine and knew what was going on, Chen Hu didn't want to continue to entangle, so he stood up and warned Chen Jinghui and asked him not to make an example.
"By the way, Commander, how did you talk about it this time?"
Chen Hu said that he would not continue this topic, and Deputy Commander Xu immediately changed the topic and began to inquire about the results of this trip to Yan'an.
"That is, let's talk about the outcome, and our place can also prepare." Secretary Deng asked.
"Someone, be on guard, no one is allowed to approach without my order."
This issue is classified for the time being and cannot be known by outsiders, so Chen Jinghui is very careful when talking about this issue.
"This talk was very successful, and the two sides have drawn up a detailed plan, as long as the devils dare to move in Southeast Asia, our side will immediately move and take the devils by surprise."
Chen Jinghui took out a plan from his arms and handed it to Chen Hu and the others, while briefly explaining.
"But I have a problem, which is Fujian. We don't mention Fujian at all in this plan, what if the devil lands from Fujian and copies our back road? ”
After reading the plan, Chen Hu and the others felt that the plan formulated by Chen Jinghui and Yan'an was very perfect, and basically took into account all the problems that could be considered. But this place in Fujian, I don't know why it was not mentioned, made them very confused.
"Hehe, this place was left on purpose. One is because our current forces are not yet able to fight against these places; second, to take care of Chongqing; As long as we hit the side, Chongqing will definitely not be able to sit still, then Fujian is bound to become Chongqing's preferred target. According to the current situation, it is still very easy for Chongqing to take Fujian, so you don't have to worry about this. ”
Chen Jinghui has thought about this question for a long time. If he and Yan'an also occupied Fujian, it would be equivalent to occupying half of the entire China. Chongqing will definitely not agree, and if it is not done well, there will be a civil war. Give them a Fujian, at least they can be eased up and not be so tense.
"Hmmm! Good. Then it's time for us to prepare in secret? ”
After listening to Chen Jinghui's explanation, Chen Hu and the others probably understood the intention of Chen Jinghui and Yan'an's arrangement, and immediately stopped dwelling on this issue.
"Well, it's time to prepare. The devil may fight against Southeast Asia at any time, and we must seize the time to prepare in advance. ”
War can break out in Southeast Asia at any time, and it is necessary to prepare in advance. Otherwise, when the devils start fighting, they are not ready, and give the devils time to buffer, then it will be a big deal.
"So what do we do next?" The crowd asked.
"Well, I'll talk about the preparations on our side at this stage. First of all, Secretary Deng, you must control local production well, and you must not have civil strife because of the war. Before the army goes to war, you must prepare all the supplies that the troops need, especially the uniforms, which must be prepared by April. Secondly, the First Army was ordered to be responsible for the defense of Jiangxi and Anhui; ordered the Second Army to secretly assemble at Shangrao; ordered the Third Army to secretly assemble on the front line of Quanjiao and stand by; ordered the Fourth Army to secretly assemble on the front line of Xuzhou and stand by; The Guards Division followed the General Headquarters of the Front and was temporarily stationed in Hefei; The 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions secretly assembled in the Hanshan area. Finally, logistics, hospitals, and so on must be prepared in advance, and the personnel and equipment such as doctors and nurses accompanying the troops should be selected. Remember, all transfers must be made in secret, and the devil must not be aware. ”
Chen Jinghui had already thought about this problem in the car when he came back from Yan'an, and now he doesn't need to think about it at all, just tell everyone directly.
"We have no opinion, so who will go to the scene to command this time." Chief of Staff Chen Yi asked.
"Well, I've thought about that. In this campaign, I was the commander-in-chief, and I acted together with the general command of the Northern Front, which was formed by Chief of Staff Chen. Political Commissar Chen and Chief of Staff Xu formed the Southern Front Command and commanded the operations on the Southern Front. Deputy Commander Xu sat in charge of the general rear headquarters of the seal, did a good job of defending his home, and deployed troops to reinforce various departments at any time. Secretary Deng's task remains unchanged, and he must ensure the tranquility of the place. Chen Jinghui said.
"Jinghui, I'll be in command this time, you stay at home!" Chen Hu said. This time it was a big war, and he was afraid that if Chen Jinghui made a mistake, it would be troublesome.
"Uncle, this time I am fighting with Yan'an, and I must personally command it. And then there's such a big battle, none of you have commanded before, and this is a great opportunity to learn. I want you all to participate this time, mainly to cultivate the combat ability of your large corps and lay a good foundation for the future. Chen Jinghui said.
"Oh well! I have no opinion. When Chen Hu heard Chen Jinghui say this, he also understood his intentions, and immediately agreed.
"We agree."
Chen Yi and they were in Yan'an before, and they had never commanded more than 100,000 people in battle, and this upcoming war was the best learning opportunity for them, as long as they participated, of course they would not have an opinion.
"Okay, that's it, let's go separately and prepare."
It has been determined, Chen Jinghui will no longer delay, and will soon end the meeting, and they will start to get busy.
For the next month, the various units secretly assembled in batches to the designated location. The headquarters of the northern and southern lines were also in place, and military supplies were smoothly distributed to various units under the coordination of Secretary Deng.
Moreover, during this month, the devils once again transferred some troops from the Songhu area, Shandong, and Hebei to Southeast Asia, which made Chen Jinghui even more full of expectations for the success of this campaign.
At the same time, the Eighth Army was also constantly encroaching on the strongholds of the devils in the countryside of Shanxi, and the troops were constantly trying to advance around Changzhi. In a month's time, all the large and small villages and towns around Changzhi have been taken, so that Changzhi and other counties have cut off contact.
"Report, Southeast Asia has started, and devils have begun to land in Southeast Asia."
On the morning of April 3, 1941, the telegraph operator was holding a telegram monitoring Southeast Asia and shouting to find Chen Jinghui.
"Commander, Commander, Southeast Asia has begun."
When he arrived at the door, he pushed the door in without even knocking on the door, and was very excited to hand the telegram to Chen Jinghui while shouting.
"Hahaha, okay, it's finally done."
Chen Jinghui was also very excited when he saw this information, they had already made all the preparations a week ago, and they were waiting for the devil to act.
"Immediately notify Political Commissar Chen, Deputy Commander Xu, Chief of Staff Chen, and Chief of Staff Xu to come over, quickly." Without further ado, it's time that matters.
"Commander, no need to call, we're here."
The newspaper operator shouted so loudly, Chen Hu and the others had already heard it, and they came over on their own without waiting for Chen Jinghui's notice.
"Okay, everybody. Uncle, you and Chief of Staff Xu immediately set off to Shangrao and waited for the order to attack. Chief of Staff Chen, we will also set off for Hefei immediately. Deputy Commander Xu, the family will be handed over to you, pay attention to safety. Chen Jinghui said immediately.
"Yes, Commander, rest assured, I promise to complete the mission." Deputy Commander Xu assured.
"Lao Xu, after we leave, your side will continue to monitor the battle situation on the devil's side of Southeast Asia. The others set off at once. ”
"Yes"
Without further ado, Chen Jinghui and the others immediately got up and left the headquarters and drove to the frontline headquarters on the northern and southern fronts.
"Report, telegram from Commander-in-Chief Zhu of Yan'an."
Halfway through, Chen Jinghui received a telegram of inquiry from Commander-in-Chief Zhu. It is said that the devil has landed in South Asia and is waiting for it, can you start planning?
"Call back, wait for the message."
Chen Jinghui did not directly say that he would act immediately, but asked Commander-in-Chief Zhu to continue to wait. The devils only started to land today, and a large number of troops are still stranded on the ship. If you start fighting on your side now, the devil is likely to send troops back to help, and it will be troublesome at that time. He had to wait for all the devils to land in now, so that he would have enough time.
After replying to the telegram, Commander-in-Chief Zhu did not continue to inquire about the reason. Chen Jinghui also began to lean back against the back of the car chair and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Take off right away."
A few hours later, his car arrived at the airport, and then he got on the plane that had been arranged for him to fly to Anhui Airport and then transfer to Hefei.
"Report, the political commissar and Chief of Staff Xu have successfully arrived at the Shangrao Southern Front Headquarters."
As soon as Chen Jinghui's plane landed, the communications corps immediately handed Chen Jinghui a telegram informing Chen Hu of their situation.
"Okay, Chief of Staff Chen, we're late, hehe."
Chen Jinghui glanced at Chen Yi, and then made a joke with a self-contained expression. Then the two quickly got into the car and immediately rushed to the northern front headquarters in Hefei.
"Good commander, good chief of staff."
Chen Jinghui and the others arrived at the Hefei headquarters a few hours later, and the internal personnel of the headquarters immediately saluted and greeted them.
"Are you all ready, what is the situation of the troops now?" Chen Jinghui asked.
"Report to the commander, everything is ready, everything is normal with all units." A staff officer reported.
"Okay, order all troops to continue to stand by and wait for orders."
Chen Jinghui began to walk to the title map, and took a look at the current location of the troops, as well as the current defense situation of the devil. He asked the troops to remain on standby, awaiting orders from the commander-in-chief.
"Report, Southeast Asia Telegraph."
"Okay, haha, okay."
It didn't take long for Chen Jinghui to receive the first battle report from Southeast Asia sent by Deputy Commander Xu. It is said that as soon as the devils landed, the British basically began to retreat without much resistance, causing the devils to drive straight in, and in only one day, hundreds of thousands of troops were landed.
