Chapter 508 has its own picture

Tianjin Station, Siye Front Headquarters.

The huge battle hall was crowded with people, but there was no sound.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and almost all the senior generals of the Fourth Field Army, including Yue Weihan, had already gathered around the battle map, holding their breath and waiting for the results of the battle of Yu'er Cliff.

Before the war, the 4th Army kept the news tight, and the headquarters did not know the news until the battle began.

The situation on the front line is changing rapidly, and unless he is in the front line, it is difficult for Yue Weihan to achieve accurate and timely command, and this is also the main reason why Yue Weihan has repeatedly stressed that senior commanders in the rear must not ask about the specific command of the front line.

Yue Weihan didn't want to become the second Chairman of the Jiang National Committee and bury the entire group army because of his blind command!

This is not to slander Chairman Chiang, not to mention anything else, but to talk about the Battle of Songhu, if it were not for Chairman Chiang's blind command, he had to abandon the strong fortifications preset by Wufu and Chengxi, but he fought a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Shanghai Beach, which was unconcealed and directly exposed to the heavy artillery of the Japanese giant ships, and the result would have been very different.

If the Battle of Songhu can be fought on the defense line of Wufu and Chengxi, the Japanese army may not be able to win the battle in six months, let alone three months, and if it can really hold out for more than six months, whether the Japanese base camp still has enough confidence and resources to continue the war, then two things are said, and the intervention of the great powers that Chairman Chiang hoped for would probably come true.

The reason is very simple: If the Nationalist Government behaves in a vulnerable manner, the Western powers will retreat, and they will never do anything to send charcoal in the snow, but if the Nationalist Government can show a certain degree of resistance, the Western powers will never watch Japan monopolize China and speculate, which has always been the specialty of the Western powers.

When Yue Weihan was thinking about it, Zuo Quan, deputy chief of staff of Siye, hurriedly walked into the combat hall.

"Boss, there's news." Mr. Zuo could not suppress his excitement, and said to Yue Weihan excitedly, "After 48 hours of fierce fighting, the 4th Army severely damaged the 17th Army of the 1st Front Army of the Kwantung Army east of Yuerya, and the 4 Japanese divisions and regiments under the 17th Army, 2 were completely annihilated by us, 2 were defeated, and a total of more than 40,000 enemies were annihilated in this battle!" ”

"Good!" Yue Weihan said happily, "Immediately power up and commend you!" ”

Mr. Zuo nodded, and said: "But boss, the casualties of the 4th Army itself are not small, especially the severe cold of more than minus 20 degrees Celsius, which has caused a large number of non-combat attrition of our army...... Amputation. ”

Yue Weihan nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Telegraph to the Northern Bureau, requesting assistance in relocating my wounded." ”

"I've already sent a telegram to the Northern Bureau and Mr. Peng." Mr. Zuo nodded, and said, "What's more, the 4th Army has little ammunition left, if you don't want to replenish it, I'm afraid you won't be able to launch too large-scale battles, if that's the case, the situation will be quite passive." ”

The expression on Yue Weihan's face immediately became more and more solemn, this was indeed a big problem.

General Wei Lihuang sighed: "But now it's windy and snowy, how can you dispatch the air force?" ”

"Why don't you ......," Deng Gong, who had just arrived at the North China front line from the rear of Burma, muttered, "Please ask the Northern Bureau to come forward and organize the eastern Hebei fortress households to try to send some military supplies to the Yanshan Mountains?" It's freezing on this day, and I don't think the Japanese army will be able to surround Yanshan, and the local villagers are familiar with the terrain, so they should be able to do it. ”

"I'm afraid that's just a drop in the bucket, right?" Huang Jie, chief of the General Staff, shook his head and said, "If there are more people, the target will be bigger, and it will be very easy to be surrounded by the Japanese army, if there are fewer people, the supplies that can be transported will be limited, and it will be difficult to ensure the combat needs of the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 4th Group Army, right?" ”

Mr. Zuo sighed lightly: "It's better to talk than nothing." ”

Yue Weihan waved his hand, and suddenly asked, "Is there a result on Old Zhu's side?" ”

As early as the day of the outbreak of the Battle of Luanhe, Yue Weihan sent two special planes to bring Professor Zhu Kezhen, his team, and some scientific research equipment from Myanmar to North China.

As soon as the words fell, the attendant adjutant Yuhu walked in in and said uprightly: "Report, Professor Zhu asks to see you." ”

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!" Yue Weihan immediately clapped his fist high-fives, and immediately said to the jade fox, "Quick, hurry up and invite Elder Zhu to come in!" ”

After a while, Professor Zhu Kezhen hurriedly entered the combat hall, and he said to Yue Weihan not without apology: "Commander-in-Chief Yue, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, but now the meteorological conditions in North China are more complicated, and some large-scale equipment can't be transported to North China in a hurry, so it took some more time." ”

"Fortunately, it has finally come to fruition." Speaking of this, Professor Zhu Kezhen said, "According to my observation, from tonight, the entire North China will change from rainy and snowy weather to sunny to less cloudy, and I dare to assert that tomorrow morning, everyone will be able to see the sun that has not been seen for a long time." ”

"Great!"

"This damn rainy day is finally coming to an end!"

"So you can airdrop supplies to the 4th Army tomorrow?"

"The key is that our bomber group can be dispatched freely, and the good days of the little devils are over!"

As soon as Professor Zhu Kezhen's voice fell, the senior generals and operational staff officers in the combat hall cheered one after another.

Yue Weihan was more concerned about how long the good weather would last, and asked at the moment: "Elder Zhu, how long will the sunny day last?" ”

Professor Zhu Kezhen lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a solemn expression: "Commander-in-Chief Yue, I'm afraid this kind of sunny day won't last too long, at most three days, the entire North China region will usher in a new round of rainy weather, and this round of rain will last longer, probably for more than two weeks!" ”

"Huh? Two weeks of rainy weather in a row? ”

"It's only two sunny days, what can you do?"

"Oh no, I'm afraid the 4th Army won't be able to hold out for so long, right?"

Professor Zhu Kezhen's voice fell, and the generals and staff officers in the battle hall couldn't help but look at each other.

"It's hard to get old." Yue Weihan clenched Professor Zhu Kezhen's hands and shook them vigorously, and then instructed the attendant adjutant Yuhu and said, "Yu'er, immediately use my special car to send Zhu Lao back to the station to rest, and then instruct the resident room to add food to Zhu Lao and his disciples tonight, and make sure everyone eats and drinks well." ”

The fox stood upright, and said to Professor Zhu Kezhen, "Old Zhu, please." ”

Seeing Professor Zhu Kezhen's figure disappear outside the door of the combat hall, Yue Weihan immediately instructed Zuo Zongdao: "Old Zuo, immediately call the major airports in Qingdao, Nanjing, and Shanghai, and all transport aircraft brigades and fighter brigades will immediately assemble and be on standby at any time, and once the weather improves, they will immediately dispatch to airdrop combat materials to the 4th Group Army!" ”

Although the two-day period is a bit tighter, and it is only enough for the transport planes to fly five or six round-trips, if they go all out, 500 transport planes can airdrop more than 5,000 tons of combat materials to the Yanshan Mountains in two days, and if the Fourth Group Army saves a little, it will be absolutely no problem to persist for half a month, or organize two large-scale battles.

After all, the current 4th Army no longer has heavy equipment such as trucks, tanks, and heavy artillery, so it does not need large-caliber grenades, nor tons and tons of fuel, and if it is only individual rations, medicines, clothing, machine bullets, rocket artillery, mortars and other small-caliber shells, 5,000 tons of materials is already a lot.

…………

Town, town of Tong Daohe, headquarters of the 4th Army.

After the victory at Yuerya, the main force of the 4th Army moved to the Tangdao River overnight to rest and recuperate.

The reason why Dai Anlan chose Tangdaohe Town is because it is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was once the anti-Japanese base of the Eighth Route Army's Jidong guerrillas, the mass foundation is good, and the troops can better rest here, especially those wounded, who can be better cared for, because the local villagers have fire pits at home, at least there will be no more worries about frostbite.

In a small house, Dai Liao Deng and the three of them were sitting around the hot pit drinking wine.

The wine is a sweet potato wine made by the landlord himself, and there is no appetizer, just a large pot of brine peanuts, but Dai Anlan, Liao Yaoxiang and Deng Hua drank very happily, especially Deng Hua, as if he had returned to the years of guerrilla warfare in Jinchaji, not to mention the cordiality.

"Come, Lao Deng, I respect you." Dai Anlan raised his bowl to Deng Hua and said, "The great victory of Yu'er Cliff depends on your meritorious command!" ”

"That's right, I, Liao Yaoxiang, have never been very convincing, except for Chief Du and Commander-in-Chief Yue, that is, you." Liao Yaoxiang also raised the wine bowl and said, "You have to drink this bowl of wine!" ”

"Okay, I've drunk this wine." Deng Hua picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

Wiping his mouth, Deng Hua said again: "However, the current situation facing our group army is still very serious. ”

Dai Anlan also drank it all, smashed his mouth first, and then said: "Yes, Okamura Ningji, this old devil really looks down on us, in addition to the original dozen divisions, he actually transferred more than a dozen divisions from the four eastern provinces to surround us, if we hadn't found out early yesterday, we were afraid that we would have collided with the little devil." ”

"yes, that's a pity." Liao Yaoxiang said depressedly, "I still want to take the opportunity to take Shanhaiguan and capture the old devil Okamura Ningji alive, but now I can only do it." ”

Deng Hua nodded, and said, "If there is no sunny weather in the past two days, we will break through separately." ”

In the past, the Eighth Route Army was also swept away by the Japanese army, so it had already summed up a set of effective tactics, the Japanese army tore open the encirclement net and pressed step by step, if there was a condition, then concentrate forces to break through the way, if there were really no conditions, then break through the encirclement, and then turn back to the mountains to persist in fighting after the Japanese army retreated.

As soon as the words fell, a major staff officer entered and reported: "Report, the headquarters is in an emergency!" ”

Dai Anlan poured wine for Liao Yaoxiang and Deng Hua respectively, and said without raising his head: "Read!" ”

The staff officer of the major opened the telegram and read aloud: "Dai Liao Liu: It is reported that the weather is about to turn sunny tonight, and the air force will be dispatched to drop supplies to your department early tomorrow morning. This order, Yue Weihan, November 23, 32 years of the Republic of China. ”

…………

At dawn the next day, the sun finally rose in the east after a long absence.

With the arrival of the main forces of the various armies under the Kwantung General Army, the Japanese army gathered in Shanhaiguan and the Liaoning West Corridor has reached 50 infantry divisions, 8 tank divisions and 18 heavy artillery brigades.

Meteorologists in Japan have also predicted that the weather will turn clear, so the necessary precautions are needed.

Otherwise, once the weather clears, the armored clusters and heavy artillery clusters exposed in the open areas of the plains will soon attract the Chinese Air Force to bomb indiscriminately, and if this is the case, the heavy equipment of the Kwantung Army will be completely finished, after all, before the 200 jet planes promised by Germany are not in place, the aviation units directly under the Kwantung Army will never be able to play with the Chinese Air Force.

Umezu Yoshijiro then formally ordered the formation of the Kwantung Army Front Command, with Okamura Ninji as the front commander.

Umezu Mijiro, the old devil, is very self-aware, and knows that his tactical command ability is far inferior to Okamura Ninji, so he took the initiative to let Xian.

Okamura Ninji was having breakfast in the headquarters when Mitsuo Nakazawa suddenly hurried in.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" "The No. 9 radar base station reported that a large number of flying targets were found 50 kilometers southeast of Shanhaiguan, which is likely to be the transport group of the China Air Force, and the China people are preparing to drop supplies to the remnants of the China Army trapped in the Yanshan Mountains. ”

It has to be said that the efficiency of the Kwantung Army is still very high.

Less than half a month has passed since Okamura Ninji returned to Manchukuo and decided on a defense strategy, but quite a number of radar bases in plain areas or close to roads or railways have already been built and put into operation.

As for the Chinese laborers who built the radar station, there is no doubt that all of them were executed.

"Oh?" Okamura Ninji couldn't help but move slightly when he heard this, "The efficiency of the people in China is very high, the weather has just cleared, and their transport fleet has poured out?" ”

Nakazawa Sanfu said: "Your Excellency Marshal, did you order the aviation to intercept?" ”

Mura Ningci Huo Ran raised his hand and said, "Send reconnaissance planes first, and then send fighter planes!" ”

Okamura Ninji was very cautious, if he directly dispatched fighter planes without dispatching reconnaissance planes and accurately captured the exact coordinates of the Chinese transport aircraft group, then the secret of the radar base station would have to be exposed in advance, and with Yue Weihan's strength, it was impossible to be indifferent to this, and once a special strike by the squadron was provoked, the gains would outweigh the losses.

In the final analysis, the radar base stations that have been built now are only a few, and they are not enough to serve as a support for the Kwantung Army.

And once Yue Weihan and the squadron are alert, and then want to build a large number of radar base stations in the southeast branch of Yanshan Mountain, the Liaoxi Corridor, and the deep mountains and old forests of Changbai Mountain, I am afraid it will not be so easy, once the plan to build a radar base station chain is blocked, it will inevitably affect Okamura Ningji's entire defense plan.

Sanfu Nakazawa frowned, and cautiously reminded: "Your Excellency Marshal, if you send out a reconnaissance plane first, and then send a fighter plane to intercept it, will it delay the fighter?" Because by the time the Imperial Army's fighter group arrived at the designated airspace, the transport aircraft group of the China Army would probably have returned. ”

"Nakazawa-kun." Okamura Ninji glanced at Nakazawa Sanfu lightly and said, "Don't forget what I told you, in the Battle of Yanshan, it is good to be able to eat the 4th Army of China, but if you can't eat it, then it's nothing, after all, our first task is not to annihilate the 4th Army of China, but to hold the entire Manchukuo." ”

"Hello." Sanfu Nakazawa bowed his head suddenly, and immediately took the order. RO！ ~！
