711 on the army to attack the east and west?

The weather has gradually become hotter, and in the capital of Wuhan, the crowd of people coming and going on the streets have taken off their heavy uniforms or robes, and the more fashionable people are wearing short-sleeved shirts and sleeveless cheongsams to swagger through the market. Under the auspices of Kong Xiangxi, the capital of Kuomintang China has already carried out two phases of capital construction work. The city is divided into Hankou business district, Hanyang industrial zone and Wuchang administrative district, wide roads, bridges across the Yangtze River, the city's power supply and drainage system have also been built, and the core administrative area around the East Lake is more full of buildings, beautiful environment, has gradually taken on the style of a modern metropolis. The streets are full of domestically made cars and trucks, although they are still foreign brands, but the localization rate has reached more than 70, and the mule carts and horse-drawn carriages that originally filled the three towns of Wuhan are now very rare. This bustling and thriving scene makes anyone who sees the city look forward to the future of the country.

It was in this early summer that Wang Zhongyi and Chen Cheng returned to Wuhan. One of them was the commander of the Far Eastern Front, and the other was the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Security, and the defense areas of both of them were the main battlefields of the future war against the Soviet Union. Moreover, during this time, there were rumors that the Northeast Security Command and the Far Eastern Front were about to be merged into the Northeast Front Army to unify the battle situation on the Far Eastern side of the Northeast dialect. Perhaps it was for this reason that the General Staff of the Wehrmacht sent a Junkers Ju-52 to pick up the two of them from their respective defense areas to Wuhan, and the two of them took a plane for almost a day, both of them were a little tired, and when they were resting in the terminal building of Wuhan Central Airport, they were moving their hands and feet there, and when they were chatting casually, they saw another Ju-52 passenger plane painted with the Air Force mark slowly landing on the airport runway. It seems that another senior general of the National Defense Force who was ordered to come to Wuhan to attend the meeting has arrived, and he doesn't know which way it is. When I was in doubt, I saw that the plane had stopped, the gangway was lowered, and a thin middle-aged man stepped off the plane surrounded by several staff officers, and he couldn't see his face clearly from a distance, and he could only see General An Sihua, who was wearing the uniform of a general of the Wehrmacht, who seemed to be sitting in the northwest, and it turned out that he had also been recalled to Wuhan.

As soon as the three of them met, they were all slightly surprised, they had been separated for a long time all these years. Chen Cheng immediately smiled and said to An Sihua: "Brother Sihua, you are the number one general under the command of the auxiliary commander, this Northeast Front Army seems to be the only one, right?" ”

Wang Zhongyi also squinted his eyes and smiled: "Yes, yes, I heard that the Northeast Front Army wants to command more than two million troops, including hundreds of thousands of old 'Mao' soldiers, this errand and I can't do it, it seems that in the future, both of us will be on an errand under Brother Sihua." ”

This sounds a little sour, but it is also true, and the people who can command such a large force in the National Defense Force at the moment are Luo Yaoguo, An Sihua, and Bai Chongxi. Among them, Luo Yaoguo wants to sit in the center and coordinate the overall situation, and the rest are naturally only An Sihua and Bai Chongxi.

An Sihua shook his head slowly and solemnly, and said with a smile: "The two brothers guessed wrong, the commander of the Northeast Front, Fuwen wants Bai Jiansheng to be the commander, and the junior brother I will be the commander of the Northwest Front." ”

Wang Zhongyi shook his hand gently. "Then speaking of which, the Northwest Front Army will also be entrusted with important tasks, and Brother Fuwen will not let a strong general like Brother Sihua be in charge of the fight." An Sihua smiled: "It's just a bluff, the 'traffic' situation in the northwest has already determined that it is impossible to support the huge logistics supply." This time, I'm really going to fight for your Northeast Front. ”

Chen Cheng frowned. "The Xinhaida Railway has now been repaired to Hami, and it will be able to reach Dihua at the latest by the beginning of 37, and it is not enough to have more than a year to hoard supplies to fight a war? If Brother Sihua were to be the commander of the Northwest Front, no one would believe that it was just a bluff. If I were Stalin, I would not have taken the defense of Central Asia lightly. ”

An Sihua smiled: "Stalin can't take it lightly is not only Central Asia, but also the establishment of two other front army-level headquarters this time, the Northern Front and the Chinese Expeditionary Force. ”

Wang Zhongyi and Chen Cheng glanced at each other, and Wang Zhongyi asked, "Have you chosen the commanders of the Northern Front and the Chinese Expeditionary Force?" ”

"I don't know." An Sihua lowered her voice, as if she was whispering. "The Northern Front Army Headquarters has been secretly formed, Lin Yurong is temporarily presiding over the overall situation as the deputy commander, Hou Jingru is the chief of staff, I heard that the task of this Front Army is to raid the six northern provinces of Central G!"

"Raid on the six northern provinces!?" Wang Zhongyi and Chen Cheng exclaimed at the same time. An Sihua put his index finger on his lips and "shh This matter has not yet been finally decided, and we may have to participate in the discussion of this matter when we come to Wuhan this time, so the younger brother will give the two of us a blow first. ”

……

"Brother Fuwen, can you explain this report?" Chiang Kai-shek said: "I have read it several times and still do not understand. Please be seated. Would you like a cold beer? It's just right to drink this on a hot day, but unfortunately Meiling won't let me drink it. ”

The weather in Wuhan is indeed very hot, and Luo Yaoguo's short-sleeved military uniform has been soaked with sweat. The air was suffocating and damp, covering the city like a wet sheep blanket. "Thank you then." Luo Yaoguo wiped Han and sat down.

Hu Hanmin picked up a small "delicate" silver bell with his thumb and forefinger and shook it lightly twice. A thin waiter hurried in. "Please help Chief Luo 'get' some cold beer and bring me a cup of green tea."

After the waiter went to get the drink, Chiang Kai-shek forked his head and gently flipped the report on the table with his hand. "The Far East, Central Asia, Mongolia, or Europe...... Where the hell are we going to attack? Lao Jiang shook his head slightly. And the six northern provinces of the GCD, do you really want to attack them or do you want to scare them? How can I see your plan as if it's going to be a real attack, are we just going to take the opportunity to get rid of them? To be honest, the issue of China G has been delayed for many years, and now is the time to solve it all together. At this time, the "door" opened, and the "waiter" walked in with a tray, put a cup of golden "color" beer with ice cubes in front of Luo Yaoguo, and placed a cup of hot green tea in front of Lao Jiang's eyes. Chiang Kai-shek picked up the teacup, took two sips, and nodded. "Very good, you go down."

After the waiter left, Chiang Kai-shek looked at Luo Yaoguo with his eagle eyes full of doubt, as if waiting for his reply.

"Whether it is to scare or attack depends on G's attitude." Luo Yaoguo took a sip of cold beer with his wine glass, it was cold and refreshing, it was exactly the taste he liked.

"Then speaking of which, you still have illusions about Zhongg." Chiang Kai-shek said: "You don't think that China and G will attack the Soviet Union on our side in the war, do you?" They and we are the same as the heavens and the people! If we destroy the Soviet Union, they won't have a chance. On the contrary, if we are defeated by the USSR, ......" he shook his head thoughtfully.

"They won't be buried for the Soviet Union."

Chiang Kai-shek frowned, "Unless the Soviet Union is already in a catastrophe, those of them will not give up their GC ideals and follow us, they are all real idealists!" ”

"Jiegong, I don't think so, my brother Wang Zhongyi used to be a member of their Politburo, and Jiegong's brother-in-law Zhang Hanqing is still a member of their Politburo, do you think they really believe in GCISM?"

Chiang Kai-shek took another sip of tea and struggled to endure the heat of the tea. "At least, Zhou Elai, Mao, and Xiang Ying are all real Marxists."

"Perhaps." Luo Yaoguo said: "They may be the only three true Marxists in the world, but the three of them can defeat the 9 million to 10 million armies of China, Poland, and Germany and save the Soviet Union." ”

"No, that can't be!" Chiang Kai-shek said, "But they won't join us." ”

"They will." Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly, "Because behind the 500,000-strong Northern Front Army, there are a full six million Wehrmacht armed to the teeth!" They have to be on our side, otherwise they won't have the slightest chance! ”

"Is there a chance on our side?"

Luo Yaoguo nodded. "They will think so, because even if the Soviet Union dies, it does not mean that the whole capitalist world will be in peace with it. On the contrary, the demise of the USSR was nothing more than an appetizer of the Second World War, and there will be even longer wars to come...... And the Chinese G also has a chance to grow stronger in this war. ”

"Are you sure they still have a chance?" Chiang Kai-shek's eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Yes." Luo Yaoguo said coldly: "As long as you live, you will have a chance, Jiegong, do you say?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek groaned for a while and exhaled heavily. "Well, I'm just going to ask about it...... Explain your plan, where is our main direction of attack? ”

"Is it the main direction of attack?" Luo Yaoguo shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, it is possible to attack Siberia from the northwest, northeast, Europe, or from the 'Mongolian' ancient north. The key is to see how things develop. ”

Chiang Kai-shek narrowed his eyes and said to Luo Yaoguo: "Go north from 'Mongolian' Gu!" Is this the real intention of the formation of the Northern Front? ”

"It's the ideal situation." Luo Yaoguo said with a smile: "If Zhongg Ken stands on our side, the Soviet Union will be finished, and the entire Far Eastern Front will be surrounded by us!" ”

"Who do you want to be the commander of the Northern Front?"

"The commanders of the North-Western Front and the Northeast Front are all my men." Luo Yaoguo smiled and said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Then the commanders of the Northern Front and the Chinese Expeditionary Force should be nominated by Jiegong." ”

"Then let me think about who is suitable." Chiang Kai-shek agreed to this plan. "The commander of the Northern Front will let General Chen Cixiu be appointed, and after this battle, he can be promoted to become a general. As for the Chinese Expeditionary Force...... How many people can this force have? Does the Admiral need to be the Commander-in-Chief? ”

"The commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force should be a general!"

"What? Is it a general? ”

"That's right." Luo Yaoguo nodded. "Jiegong, in my plan, the size of the Chinese expeditionary force should be about one million people, or fifteen infantry corps, one naval aviation corps, and ...... The entire South Sea Fleet! ”

"It turns out that the Chinese Expeditionary Force is used to expand south!" Chiang Kai-shek stood up abruptly and looked at Luo Yaoguo with wide eyes.

"Jiegong, you're right. The Chinese Expeditionary Force was actually used to expand into Southeast Asia, and I estimate that Germany, after destroying the Soviet Union, would soon be at war with Britain and France, and we would take the opportunity to go south to seize the British and French colonies in Southeast Asia! Therefore, this unit will be dominated by the Liangguang-Yunnan-Guizhou troops that are adapted to the hot climate, and will also focus on jungle and mountainous combat in terms of weaponry and training...... As for the commander-in-chief, who does Jiegong want to come? ”

Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "Let Gu Zhutong be the deputy commander, and Qian Dajun will be the chief of staff, the commander-in-chief...... I'll do it myself then! ”

……

"Great victory in the Far East! General Wang Zhongyi declared: The victory in the Third Battle of Ussuriysk is of decisive significance......"

Wang Zhongyi's wife Li Shuning and Hou Jingru's wife Li Shuying, two cousins who had not seen each other for many years, finally "met" in Wuhan, when the two of them were squandering their husband's money on the streets of Hankou, on a street newsstand, they saw a stack of "Ta Kung Pao" that had just arrived, with a pebble pressed on it, and the wind was blowing loudly. Li Shuying said to her cousin: "Oh, your man has reported again, and he is making a conversation." By the way, how has this war in the Far East been heating up again lately. "The Soviet civil war, which never seemed to end, has long been of little concern now, but recently the newspapers have suddenly begun to report at length one victory after another.

A gust of wind before a July thunderstorm swept across the streets, beating the skirts and hats of the two young women. Li Shuning grabbed a bag with one hand, pressed her hat tightly with the other, and stared at the photo of her man in the newspaper; He stood on the steps of the General Staff building and spoke into three loudspeakers. "You see, he's blowing up there again." She said.

"How do you say it's a big blow? Didn't the Far Eastern Front capture Ussuriysk? Li Shuying said.

"Well, it's taken, last month." Li Shuning lowered her voice so as not to be heard by passers-by. "A White Russian infantry company seized there...... In those days, it rained so much rain that our planes could not be dispatched, and the Soviet Red Army withdrew to the north of Xingkai Lake under the cover of heavy rain. We didn't know anything about it until a drunken White Russian company commander took his company inside the enemy's position, only to find out that it was already empty! ”

"How could that be?"

"The positions of the two sides are far apart, and the recent fighting has not been 'fierce', so ......," Li Shuning shrugged and explained.

"No, no, I mean why did the Soviet Red Army retreat?" Li Shuying asked.

"My man estimates that the Soviet Red Army is retreating in a planned way, and that they may have to retreat into the line north of the Amur River. This kind of victory will be seen often in the future, right? Li Shuning frowned. I want to claim that these great victories were the means by which the Kuomintang agitated for war? ”

"Well, that's how it should be."

Li Shuying looked at the sky, it was already dark clouds, and it was going to rain heavily. "Sister, let's go to the café of the Xuangong Hotel and sit for a while." As she spoke, she looked around vigilantly again, lowered her voice and said, "Comrade Huang Jing of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee will be waiting there to connect with us......

Comrade Huang Jing is a very handsome young man, and he is also very smart, and he is currently a top student in the Department of Mathematics of the Sino-German University of Technology, and is studying for a master's degree. Huang Jing is his pseudonym, and he uses his real name Yu Qiwei at Sino-German United Polytechnic University. Because his family was a well-known family in the Jiangnan region, and one of his cousins and uncles was also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Armaments, it was sometimes easier to work with his real identity -- his main task was to do united front work in the scientific community and to propagate to those scientists and scholars the anti-dictatorship and anti-aggression propositions of China. But today, he was sitting in the café of the Xuangong Hotel, and it was not a scientist who was waiting...... From now on, he will be burdened with even more difficult tasks.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Huang? I'm Sister Li. ”

A "female" voice with a slight Sichuan accent sounded behind Huang Jingsheng. But he didn't look back. just whispered: "The contemptible surname is Huang, a single name is a respect, respectful respect, may I ask the young lady to find me something?" ”

The owner of the 'female' voice was Li Shuning, and her cousin Li Shuying sat side by side with her, while Huang Jing sat back to back with them. Li Shuning didn't look back at each other, she and her cousin had already seen a magazine and a bouquet of fresh "flowers" that Huang Jing had placed on the table, which was actually a code. In addition, there were pre-defined codes in their conversations, and as the fear of white "color" in the Kuomintang area intensified, the underground party organizations in China and G became more and more cautious.

"Zhou Gong's health is okay?" Li Shuning said again.

"Gong Zhou is in good health, but Mr. Jiang and Mr. Luo are not in good health."

"If you are not in good health, you have to take 'medicine', I happen to have a 'medicine' prescription here, I will dictate, please tell Zhou Gong."

"Please." As he spoke, Huang Jing scanned the entire café vigilantly with his eyes, watching every customer who came in and out.

"The Kuomintang secretly formed the Northern Front, with the goal of launching an offensive to the base areas, and the Northern Front may have eight infantry corps and three cavalry corps, with a total strength of more than half a million men! However, at present, the formation of the front army has not yet been completed, and the mobilization and training of the troops have not been completed. According to reliable intelligence, the front army will complete its formation and mobilization by 1938, and then it will wage war against the base areas of the six northern provinces at the same time as the Kuomintang attacks the Soviet Union! ”

Li Shuning's voice was very soft, almost inaudible, but Huang Jing, who was sitting back to back with her, heard every word clearly! Beads of sweat the size of beans immediately seeped out of his white skin......
