Chapter 427: The Disaster of the Pond Fish
"Shanxi is the forefront of the Japanese army, and in order to fight the Soviets, the Japanese transferred troops from all directions, that is, two brigades were transferred from Shinozuka Yoshio, and three divisions were directly transferred from Shanghai Fujita. Now, Tada Jun has gathered almost two more divisions of troops, so that there are almost seven divisions of Japanese troops in the entire Shanxi...... If the national army wants to confront such a huge force, it must at least concentrate more than 500,000 mobile troops, and it must also establish a unified command headquarters, otherwise it will not even need to fight. But it's good that we, the chairman of the committee, actually let the Communist Party help in the war...... Is he a fool to be a man? ”
Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Eighth Route Army to cooperate with the Nationalist army to fight against Tadajun. After this news came out, it did not attract many people's attention. Although the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has moved, and only a few party branches have been left in northern Shaanxi to lead those who are unwilling to leave, the fact that the Communist Party is a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of Lao Jiang will not change. Lao Jiang treats miscellaneous cards as if he seizes the opportunity, let alone a life-and-death enemy like the Communist Party? didn't directly order Zhu De to concentrate the Eighth Route Army and have a hard time with Tada Jun, which was already very face-saving. But the problem is that Lao Jiang has Lao Chiang's abacus, and the Communist Party has not yet dared to take an egg to touch a stone. There are almost seven divisions and more than 100,000 Japanese devils, not to mention that the Eighth Route Army has recently received a little assistance from the Soviet Union, but to deal with such a group of enemies, even if the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are all added, it is not enough for others to fight. Don't forget, back then, hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army troops played positional warfare, and even Chiang Kai-shek had not fought it.
Therefore, Zhu De, on behalf of the Eighth Route Army, responded to Chiang Kai-shek's order, and launched a guerrilla war against Japan in the base area near Zhongtiao Mountain, but did not mention the large-scale participation in the war. He didn't have Alzheimer's. The Kuomintang not only had Yan Xishan staying in Linfen to watch the play, but also Hu Zongnan was majestic, and Fu Zuoyi's cavalry came and went in the north...... The boundary of Shanxi. How can their Communist Party have the qualifications to "spread wild"?
But the Communist Party was cautious, but the Kuomintang couldn't stand it.
Chiang Kai-shek himself said that the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was "the greatest shame in the history of the Anti-Japanese War"! The nearly 200,000-strong army was routed in five days, more than half of the casualties were captured, and more than 30,000 were slaughtered...... If he didn't retaliate, he would have no face as the leader of the country. But how to retaliate? You can't just let the people in Chongqing brainless, all those who are good enough have to find a way.
And at the same time that everyone wanted to think of a way together, Bai Zhenxi, Qin Wei, and Xu Tingyao, who also fought a "lost battle", failed to dodge, and were scolded by Chiang Kai-shek's call, bluntly saying that the three of them lost their teachers and humiliated the country. It was even more severe that the three must find a way to recover North Vietnam as soon as possible. It's better that even Guangdong is recovered together, otherwise it will be punished by military law! In other words, demotion! Qin Wei and Xu Tingyao could still stand this reprimand, but Bai Zhengxi was so angry that he smoked.
If he hadn't listened to Hu Zongnan's foolish slander. Instead of getting Wei Junru (Wei Lihuang) away, he also transferred Sun Weiru's Fourth Army out. Why did Zhongtiao Mountain have such a fiasco? But now it's good. 100,000 troops were killed in the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, and 200,000 troops were scattered in less than ten days...... He didn't clean up the Hu Zongnan, who was afraid of the enemy and cowardly, but in turn scolded us who fought hard against the enemy. Punishment, punishment...... If you have the ability, he will come! ”
……
"Brother Jiansheng, why are you so angry?" Xu Tingyao was a little embarrassed. He has always been highly regarded by Lao Chiang, although he was demoted from general to lieutenant general. But this is also the reason why he fought badly in the first place. Lao Jiang is actually still the same for him. But now Bai Zhengxi is scolding Chiang Kai-shek in front of him, how does this make him interface? can only stabilize the topic: "Although Hu Shoushan is at fault, no one thought that Tada Jun would attack Zhongtiao Mountain first...... Wei Lihuang himself once boasted, saying that Zhongtiao Mountain is the 'Maginot of the East'. Tada Jun arrived in a hurry, who would have thought that he could actually complete such a big battle in just a few days? ”
"A group army, when it was lightly touched by Yoshio Shinozuka, it immediately shrank forward, which is also worthy of being called a 'famous general'?" Bai Zhenxi scoffed at Xu Tingyao's words: "If he can fight bravely to kill the enemy, where does Tada Jun dare to let Yoshio Shinozuka not save him, but attack Zhongtiao Mountain?" ”
"He also watched Tada Jun menacing, and wanted to brake quietly!" Xu Tingyao said helplessly. He didn't dare to say that Hu Zongnan was at fault. Because he felt that even if he was in Hu Zongnan's position at that time, he might not use other means. Just as before the Germans invaded France, few people would have thought that the "Maginot Line", which had exhausted the efforts of the French, would become a joke, and before Tada Jun hit Nakajo Mountain, who would have imagined that the "Eastern Maginot Line", which had caused the Japanese to lose troops several times, would be so fragile? Hu Zongnan thought that Tada Jun would come to attack him, so he made a defensive move, and by the time he reacted, Nakatiao Mountain had fallen, and Tada Jun not only won, but also brought out nearly three divisions of fresh troops from the bottom of Nakajo Mountain...... What a? If you don't run quickly, let alone avenge the unjust souls who died in Zhongtiao Mountain, even he, Hu Zongnan, may be in danger of his life. In the final analysis, Hu Zongnan did not make any obvious mistakes in the entire campaign, except that he did not expect Yoshio Shinozuka to take the initiative to attack at first, and as a result, he lost a considerable number of troops under the enemy's attack. And its active and rapid withdrawal can be regarded as preserving the strength of the 34th Army, otherwise, if it fights hard with Tada Jun and Shinozuka Yoshio, the 34th Army will at least add one or two more casualties.
"Lao Bai is also not angry with the chairman, Sir Xu, don't care." Qin Wei played a round on the side, and then said with a wry smile: "But we are also unlucky." This battle is not over yet, and he first wears a hat of mourning and humiliating the country...... If we wait for a few days to win, won't it become a 'meritorious service', and there is nothing to be gained? ”
"You're embarrassed to say it!" It's okay not to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Zhenxi threw his temper at Qin Wei again, "Isn't there an intelligence organization behind you, who can do everything?" Why didn't you know anything about such a big move by the Japanese in advance? ”
"Boss, I'm in 'Tiannan' now, and Zhongtiao Mountain is in 'Jibei', okay?" Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "I've been busy trying to figure out how to deal with Shouichi in the temple all day long, how do you know what kind of demon moth Tada Jun will fix?" ”
"I don't care if you know the way? What about your people? What about the intelligence organization behind you? Bai Zhenxi snorted coldly, "They won't care about the war between the two Guangxi all day long like you, right?" As the commander of the Japanese army in North China, didn't they have any plans for surveillance? ”
"Nope." Qin Wei shook his head very directly, "My liaison has had a happy event recently, and he got married and went on his honeymoon......"
"What?" Bai Zhenxi and Xu Tingyao shouted at the same time, Xu Tingyao was so good-tempered, and after hearing this, she suddenly became angry: "Honeymoon at this time? Is he still Chinese? ”
"Chinese must be Chinese, but you have to understand that people have never felt the atmosphere of war in their lives, so marriage has become the top priority in his life, especially when he is married to a white rich beauty, so he attaches more importance to it." Qin Wei lamented. He really didn't know about the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in the road of Ludao, and he didn't remember to write it in the history books, and his memory was even more blank...... And when he communicates with Gu Changjun, he often asks here and checks there; Or look at the information over there, suddenly find the time match, and then quickly tell him. It will be annoying to check the information, and after experiencing the initial excitement, Gu Changjun quickly adapted to the life of a museum director, and felt that whether or not to check the information should not affect China's "future" too much, because the situation in China is much better than before. And that thing always thinks that he is so messy, maybe one day he will lose himself, so he has to enjoy life more while he is still "existing". And Gu Changjun is becoming less and less powerful, he, a traverser, is getting busier and busier, and he is also married, so naturally it is impossible to catch Gu Changjun every day and ask non-stop. And Gu Changjun has indeed gotten married recently, the most hateful thing is that the way to spend his honeymoon is actually to travel around the world...... It would be nice to have the time to give a reminder, but what else can you expect? Take the national righteousness to suppress? Maybe the grandson will have to rebel.
"Something is something, is there something wrong with those people behind you?" Bai Zhenxi didn't believe what Qin Wei said, stared at it for a long time, and finally asked again.
"There aren't many things that have changed, and the people are still those people." Qin Wei sighed, "It's a pity that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!" It's inevitable to delay things! ”
"Can something as big as it be delayed?" Xu Tingyao still couldn't accept it. He used to be a second-class general, a generous person, quite popular in the Nationalist Government, and a close confidant of Lao Jiang, so he also knew a little about Qin Wei's details. Actually, it's not just him. After such a long time, Chiang Kai-shek and others have always "connived" at Qin Wei so much, and many people have guessed that there is something else behind this product. Is it possible to get so many minerals and oil fields at once? But no matter what, we can't delay national affairs because of fighting.
"Chief Xu, you're asking a little strange." Qin Wei smiled, "In these years, what can't be delayed?" ”
"This ......" Xu Tingyao was dumbfounded. What can't be delayed? If you really want to talk about "delay", who can compare with Chairman Jiang in Chongqing? As long as things are done fairly, and if there are few indiscriminate interventions, the situation of China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression will not fall to the point it is today. The Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, to put it bluntly, was caused by Hu Zongnan's eastward advance, but why did Hu Zongnan advance eastward? Didn't he Lao Jiang feel that his strength was strong enough to fight back, so he nodded? But at this point, more than 100,000 lives in the entire Zhongtiao Mountain have been "delayed". Moreover, knowing that the command of Zhongtiao Mountain in the road was scattered and the resistance was ineffective in the face of a strong enemy, he still held on to Wei Lihuang...... Isn't this another form of "delay"?
"Forget it, don't talk about that...... When will your soldiers arrive? They want us to recover North Vietnam, or even Guangdong. Bai Zhenxi said angrily on the side.
"There's no hurry." Qin Wei waved his hand, "First press the withdrawn troops of the 35th Group Army to the Guiyue border, so that Shouichi Terauchi does not dare to withdraw his troops." ”
"How long is that? It's been too long, and the above will be unhappy. Bai Zhenxi rolled her eyes at the ceiling.
"Unhappyness is a disease, and it must be cured." Qin Wei smacked his lips, "You see we slaughtered Tada Jun, how about venting our anger to the big guys first?" (To be continued......)
