Chapter 533: Devil Provocation
Chen Jinghui has basically figured out the plans between those countries, but the specific plans are not yet clear. However, in order to prevent trouble before it happens, Chen Jinghui still secretly made some minor adjustments to China's military deployment, especially the current navy, which has issued a very clear task.
Bell bell bell ......
At nine o'clock in the morning on March 15, 1943, Chen Jinghui had just arrived at the office of the General Headquarters when the telephone rang.
"Hey, I'm Chen Jinghui."
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, there is a problem with the Northwest Frontier."
"Something is wrong."
"Beginning at half past eight in the morning, the Japanese troops occupying parts of the Middle East continued to make provocative moves on the border. When they insulted our border guards, they did not release empty guns on our side, and some devils even fired live ammunition at a high altitude on our side. ”
"Command our fighters must not be impulsive, to hold back."
"But they deceive people too much, and our border defense line is so long, I can't guarantee that there will be no problems."
"If there is no guarantee, it must be guaranteed, and no one will be allowed to return fire without an order from the General Headquarters."
"Yes, you can't return fire without an order."
"Hmph, little devil, can't you bear it, you want to find death."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jinghui squinted his eyes and said, the cold light in his eyes made people look goosebumps.
"Xiao Dong, go and ask Huang Erwa, do you know the situation over there." Chen Jinghui turned his head to Xiao Dong and ordered.
"Commander, Commander Huang said that he already has eyebrows, and he is seizing the time to reconnoitre." Ten minutes later, Xiao Dong reported.
"Very well, go and inform the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief that they go to the war room." Chen Jinghui commanded and walked towards the war room.
"Jinghui, we have been informed, the devil is really bold and reckless, and he dares to openly provoke us." Getting to the war room, the commander-in-chief said.
"I think this little devil just hasn't beaten for a long time, and the skin is starting to be juggling again, and he wants us to loosen their muscles and bones." The commander said.
"Niang Xipi, this little devil of the dog's day, is still thinking about our Huaxia." Deputy Commander Jiang said.
"This matter is not so simple, with the two million troops of the little devils in the Middle East, they still dare not break ground on Tai Sui's head. As the outside world knows, we now have nearly four million troops deployed in the northwest, and they are well-armed. No fool would dare to come and die openly. Chen Jinghui said.
"You mean the people they faced." The commander said.
"That's right, they have behind them the armies of the two countries, the United States and Germany, which together have six million, and that's the problem. I think they must have instigated the devils to come and provoke, and once there is a war between us, they can take the opportunity to intervene and enter a large-scale war with Huaxia. Chen Jinghui analyzed.
"I didn't expect these people to be so black-hearted, and they actually wanted to do this." said the commander-in-chief.
"Niang Xipi, when the United States supported me, I thought they were bent on fighting fascism, but I didn't expect them to be fascists." Commander Jiang said.
"Now that the situation has become clear, these countries are indeed ready to join forces to wage war against China. I think the devils are provoking us now, firstly, to create trouble, and secondly, to test us. Chen Jinghui analyzed.
"I suggest giving the devils a quick bite to cool them down." said the commander-in-chief.
"Don't worry, it's not time yet. And there are some issues that I haven't figured out yet, so be careful that if we go to war, someone will be stabbed in the back. Chen Jinghui said.
"Behind ......"
Several people at the scene were stunned by Chen Jinghui's words, and they didn't understand what Chen Jinghui meant behind him. In their opinion, the enemy is already on the surface, it is already clear.
"Yes, behind the scenes. I'm still waiting for news and final confirmations. Chen Jinghui said.
Reports
"Come in"
"Commander, Commander Huang sends an urgent telegram."
As soon as Chen Jinghui finished speaking, Xiao Dong ran over in a hurry, and then handed Chen Jinghui the information that Huang Erwa had just forwarded. Hearing that it was Huang Erwa, Chen Jinghui immediately took it over and took a look.
According to the intelligence, not long ago, the United States, Britain, Germany, Japan, and the Soviet Union had a secret meeting, but the specific content was not clear. But from today, the Germans began to withdraw from the areas occupied by England, and the Japanese troops also withdrew from the South Indian region. More importantly, the Soviet Union, the German army retreated a hundred kilometers.
"Hmph, now I understand everything, look at this."
After reading this information, even if the content of the meeting between these five countries was not detected, Chen Jinghui could already roughly guess something.
"Hmph, the USSR is glued together with Germany." When the commander-in-chief saw the Soviet Union, he hated it with hatred.
"Well, it's not that Britain was so anxious to deliver weapons to us before, because they were afraid that we would break the contract if we knew their secrets." said the commander-in-chief.
"Niang Xipi, what do they want to do, do they want to invade China again?" Deputy Commander-in-Chief Chiang was also furious.
"There really isn't a good thing in these capitalist countries, and I used to think that our economy is more difficult now, and it is not suitable for war. But I feel that I am just smashing the pot and selling iron to fight them and kill them. The prime minister, who has never spoken much, suddenly spoke harshly at this time.
"Now you understand what I am talking about, which is the Soviet Union and the British army in Southeast Asia. Try to think about it, if we focus all our attention on the Middle East theater and concentrate on dealing with the United States, Germany, and Japan. The sudden attack on our defense line by these two countries from the west and north of our country will not take us by surprise. Chen Jinghui said.
"Or you thought thoughtfully, I almost fell for it." said the commander-in-chief.
"Now that they've made their decision, there's no need for us to go around in circles with them anymore. Although we are not suitable for war in China now, we are not afraid of war, so let's fight if we want to. Chen Jinghui said with certainty.
"Very good, we agree, this battle is inevitable, only when they are quiet, can we have real peace in China, and the world may be truly peaceful." The commander said.
"But now we can't do it blindly, we have to plan carefully." said the commander-in-chief.
Bell bell bell ...... At this time, the phone in the war room rang again.
"Hey, I'm Chen Jinghui."
"Report to the deputy commander-in-chief, just now the devils actually opened fire on our border. Although the shells fell a mile from our border, this is already a serious provocation. ”
"Got it, keep watching, wait for the order"
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, you still have to endure this!"
"Execute the order."
"Yes"
"Someone, call and call. Gong Jiu Yokoichi, you listen to me, I solemnly warn you now, if you dare to stir up trouble at the border again, then don't blame us for being polite. And I am here to warn some people that it is better not to help Japan, otherwise they will be the enemies of our Huaxia. Chen Jinghui read.
"What are you doing here?" The Commander asked.
"I call this the first salute and then the soldiers, don't let people say that we Huaxia bullies the small. At the same time, tell those countries that we know very well what is going on between them, and if we want to move, we had better think clearly. Chen Jinghui said.
"Well, agreed, issued in the name of the High Command." The commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief Chiang, the prime minister, and the commander-in-chief all signed their names and then sent them to the world in the name of the Huaxia Command.
"Baga, a yellow-haired boy dares to speak out, pass on the order, continue to provoke, I want to see what he can do with me." Gong Jiuheng was very unhappy when he saw Chen Jinghui's warning, he was very confident now, because virtue was standing behind him, so he didn't pay attention to Chen Jinghui's warning at all, but intensified his efforts to create incidents.
Bell bell bell ......
"Hey, I'm Chen Jinghui."
"Report to the deputy commander-in-chief, the devils not only did not stop provoking, but intensified their efforts to create incidents, and the landing point of the shells is getting closer and closer to our border."
"Got it, keep waiting for the order."
"Yes"
"Why, it didn't work." The commander-in-chief asked.
"This is nature, and if it has an effect, the world will not fight." Chen Jinghui said.
"Then what to do, fight now." The commander asked.
"Don't worry, let them shout for a few more days, let them let their guard down first. What we need to do now is not to fight back immediately, but to prepare our deployment first. Chen Jinghui said.
"Then do you have a plan now, how to defend and attack." The commander-in-chief asked.
"I know that I have telegraphed to Commander He Long of the Northern Military Region to immediately close martial law on the northern border in accordance with my previous deployment. At the same time, he ordered the 500,000 troops drawn from the Central Military Region to immediately set off and rush to the Mongolian region to deploy defenses. The commander of the Xu Army of the Northeast Military Region was ordered to immediately press the Korean Peninsula with troops and wait for orders. ordered General Li Zongren, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Military Region, to immediately rush to Yunnan, sit on the border of Southeast Asia, and defend according to the previous deployment; In addition, Bai Chongxi was appointed commander-in-chief of the Taiwan Gulf region, with full responsibility for the defense of the Taiwan Gulf. Commander Chen Shaokuan of the Navy was ordered to immediately carry out the secret order No. 1 issued yesterday. Commander Peng of the Northwest Military Region was ordered to make all preparations for battle from the evening, and after the order was issued, he was asked to rush out of the border for me as soon as possible and kill the little devil. Chen Jinghui issued a series of orders. This is a military order, and the commander-in-chief acquiesces to it, so the commander-in-chief will not object to it.
"Are you going to get ready to fight, what do you need me to do?" The Prime Minister asked. He knew that money was needed to fight a war.
"I really need the Prime Minister's help. It is hoped that the Prime Minister will be able to place orders in the name of the troops for all the money received from the previous British arms sales to the ordnance factories below, especially for aircraft and ammunition. Chen Jinghui said.
"Okay, no problem."
The prime minister simply agreed, after all, this war is related to the future of the country, and the country's major affairs cannot be ruined because of this money.
