On September nights, the sky in Dabie Mountain is still very hot.

Jiang Xianyun finished eating early in the evening, and lay on the table alone to read the map. And Xiao Xiucai has now changed into a female military uniform and has become the highest-ranking female officer in this corps, a colonel.

According to the order of Liu Yuan, commander-in-chief of the Sichuan National Revolutionary Army, the Dabie Mountain Corps should cooperate with the concentration of the main force, and at that time, the Red Party will cooperate to carry out a thunderous blow on Nanjing.

Now Jiang Xianyun is no longer the hairy boy he was back then, he seems to be a master of base operations, in this world, if you have to find someone who can fight with your own base, it must be Mao.

Even Liu Yuan is not his opponent, but is it really possible to carry out a thunderous blow to Nanjing? Jiang Xianyun was very puzzled, compared to Xiao Xiucai, he was still very confident.

"The commander-in-chief asked us to capture the Nanjing people, and then wave our army to occupy Anhui, and expand from the previous Dabie Mountain base area to the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area, and march to the border of the three provinces. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the safety of materials. ”

Since Jiang Xianyun received Liu Yuan's telegram, his mind was full of Liu Yuan's battle plan, he was very worried, he was not worried about himself, but worried about whether Liu Yuan could withstand the million-strong army of the Central Army, if he couldn't keep Sichuan, then what was the use of taking Nanjing by himself.

As a soldier, he has his own dream, that is, to achieve an impossible military operation, and the occupation of Nanjing is undoubtedly a very great military operation, Liu Yuan did not do it back then, and now the opportunity is in front of him.

Later generations of military experts all commented on this military operation, that year, Liu Yuan went crazy, Jiang Xianyun followed also crazy, they carried out an impossible military operation, so the whole world went crazy.

I don't know when Lu Dao went, there were many more staff officers in Jiang Xianyun's office, some of them were students sent by the military academy, and some were native peasant soldiers trained at night, and they had a common characteristic, that is, they were very young.

So they were very offensive, especially as a member of the Tenth Army, they always thought that they were the most powerful army in the world, and the Guards under the commander-in-chief were the most powerful troops in the world, and they were the second.

They firmly believed that as long as Commander Jiang Xianyun gave the order, not to mention Nanjing, even the unification of South China would be like a bag to get something, especially the cavalry of the Dabie Mountain Corps, which was even more abnormal, and if they rode to Tokyo, they would not be scared to death by those little dwarfs.

Jiang Xianyun's strategy was full of the spirit of bold, unrestrained, and offensive combat.

According to Jiang Xianyun's operational plan, he will mobilize six divisions, plus local militia, reserve troops, and special forces, a total of 80,000 people, to completely wipe out the garrisons in the Chaohu and Ma'anshan areas, and continue to attack Nanjing with lightning speed.

Based on the captured city, it continued to push towards Nanjing, without giving Nanjing a chance to react, although the total number of soldiers in Dabie Mountain was only 80,000, but victory was not impossible.

Jiang Xianyun is an excellent commander, just tonight he has already calculated, the materials they need on the march, and even the daily marching speed, water point, amount of food consumed, and the number of bullets needed are all considered, for this matter, he has not slept for at least two days, which makes Xiao Xiucai very worried, he is afraid that Jiang Xianyun will be the first to fall ill.

Although Xiao Xiucai is a woman, but he is also a person with a fierce fighting spirit, he told Jiang Xianyun that Chiang Kai-shek transferred 500,000 troops, the Central Army in Nanjing, there are not many soldiers in the hinterland at all, and we have been acting low-key, and the brother of the secret pile gave us information that the central government has only 20,000 people for the number of our troops, so we will definitely succeed this time.

Seeing Jiang Xianyun's hard work, Xiao Xiucai specially cooked and made him a pot of noodles, and there was an egg in it, which was based on electricity, and there was nothing to eat.

Several staff officers coaxed together, calling Xiao Xiucai sister-in-law, and Xiao Xiucai blushed.

At this moment, a communications soldier hurriedly ran in and said, "Report, the headquarters is calling, let's act immediately." ”

Jiang Xianyun didn't even think about it, so he ordered, "Send troops." ”

The 80,000-strong army was mighty, hiding its tracks all the way, and it took two days to reach Lu'an, and the general of Lu'an was a division commander.

Jiang Xianyun's other vanguard troops changed into the uniform of the National Revolutionary Army, ran all the way and continued to march forward, and for another two days, Kechaohu Lake, and then Kema'anshan.

When Chiang Xianyun conquered Ma'anshan, Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting in Nanjing, realized the seriousness of the problem.

After entering the war room, Chiang Kai-shek did not wait for the staff officer on duty to make a move, and opened the curtain covering the combat map on the wall with a brush on the ground. After looking at it for a moment, he turned to Chen Cheng and shouted, "Say, what's going on?" ”

Chen Cheng had lost his mind at this time, and his speech was not crisp, and when he saw that Chiang Kai-shek's voice was fierce, a bit like a monster ready to choose people to eat at any time, he trembled and reported: "I have just received a report from Major General Wang Dameng of Wangliu County of the 68th Division, saying that it is a report from Lieutenant Colonel Li Xin of the 107th Infantry Regiment, and a battalion of the regiment stationed in Chuhe reported that it was attacked by the Dabie Mountain guerrillas and asked for support. But five minutes later, the squadron sent a farewell telegram, Chu He had been occupied, the battalion commander had all been martyred, and the correspondent's intelligence room was the back, "The enemy army is boundless, the number of troops exceeds 100,000, and soldiers have descended from the sky." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's steadiness, Chiang Kai-shek's planning, Chiang Kai-shek's thinking was all gone, and he slapped the table and shouted at the staff officers around him, "Chu He is an important defense line in Nanjing for Dabie Mountain, there is also an artillery company on the right flank, they can't have no news, hurry up and call me, what the hell is going on, 100,000 troops, who are you bluffing." ”

CHEN CHENG HURRIEDLY CALLED, BECAUSE THE ARTILLERY COMPANY WAS HIS SUBORDINATE, ALL 37MM INFANTRY GUNS.

"Report to the chairman, the phone can't get through, but they sent a telegram back saying that the telephone line has been cut and they are safe there," Chen Cheng said with a trembling voice.

Chiang Kai-shek raised his eyebrows, "I, everything is normal?" That's interesting. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's words woke up Chen Cheng, after all, Chen Cheng was not incompetent, he began to call all the troops, "Call me to Lu's subordinate troops, and call me all the way to the battalion, what the hell is going on, why can't all the troops be contacted." ”

In fact, there was no need to send a telegram to inquire, and the major general who was mainly responsible for the Chuhe area immediately sent another telegram, saying that in addition to Wangliu County, the defenders of the three counties of Jiaoxian, Linqu, and Boshan where the division was stationed had all lost contact.

The only thing that could be kept in touch now was the defenders of Cihu Township, where the commander of Li Da's army was assassinated in the county seat this morning, and then sent troops to pursue the attacking guerrillas, and encountered the guerrilla headquarters at Xiaoguanzhuang, and the search team suffered heavy losses.

Later, the main force of the brigade arrived, pursued the guerrilla headquarters to Zhoujiaxiazhuang on the Chuhe line, and engaged in a fierce battle with about one regiment of the guerrillas, which ended in a great victory for our army.

Before Li Dajun launched the attack, the 68th Division asked for help and asked to send troops to Cihu Township. The 68th Division dispatched a regiment from Fangzi to rush to Cihu Township, where communications are now unimpeded.

Immediately afterwards, Major General Gao Rui, General of the 25 th Brigade stationed in the north of Ningwu Road, also sent a telegram, saying that after dark today, the guerrillas flowing through the Chuhe area suddenly launched an attack on all fronts, and most of the department's advancing strongholds had been uprooted. Now the brigade headquarters has ordered the troops to hold on to the spot and resolutely repel the attacks of the Turkish guerrillas.

In fact, Chen Cheng of Xia Yuan did not know that the area around the Chuhe River had been attacked and occupied by Jiang Xianyun's army before dark.

It was only because Chu He Shoujun reported that everything was normal, and it was because Xiao Xiucai had captured a complete radio station and code book at the headquarters of Chiang Kai-shek's army.

And Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng, who didn't know the situation of Lu Dao, were really in trouble this time.

After reading the telegram, Chen Cheng was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He never expected that this kind of thing would happen, and the war to exterminate Liu Yuan in the southwest had not yet begun, and Jiang Xianyun of Dabie Mountain launched an offensive first.

He is a veteran soldier, and what he is most afraid of in a war is that this situation will occur, when the opponent is about to launch. Because at this time, the opponent is busy mobilizing troops and is in a hurry, and there is a saying in China that is specifically for this situation, that is, to take advantage of your illness and play with your life.
