"! The old warlords have been brought down, and the new ones have popped up again! Chang Kaishen angrily slammed the message on the table, his anger could not be extinguished, and with a wave of his big hand, he swept the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and water cup paperweight on the table to the ground. The ancients said: The wrath of the Son of Heaven, millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting. Chang Gong's anger was so powerful that it frightened several guards and servants with colorless faces, and even Lin Wei, the director of the attendant room, was quite uneasy.

Song Xiaomei had just returned from the front-line labor army and was playing the piano next door, when she heard the sound and hurriedly walked in, and said softly: "Darling!" What made you angry again? ”

Chang Kaishen was angry, snorted and said: "None of my students are angry, and the foreign warlords ignore the law, the revolution can't go on, and it's going to fail!" ”

Lin Wei hurriedly explained: "That's the case, madam. The commission ordered the Zheng Weiguo Department of the 41st Group Army to launch a counterattack behind enemy lines, but Chief Zheng actually took the opportunity to blackmail the Military Commission and put forward three conditions. Look at it, where does this still put the law of the country in your eyes, isn't it like a warlord? ”

Song Xiaomei raised her eyebrows and said strangely: "Oh? What are the conditions, let me see! ”

Lin Wei looked back and saw that the table was empty, so he hurriedly searched around, and it turned out that the telegram draft had drifted under the table. So he quickly bent down to pick it up and handed it over respectfully.

Song Xiaomei took a look and read softly: "Restore the reputation of Commander Wu Keren and the officers and men of the 67th Army, and severely punish those who spread rumors and slander...... Weiwen, what's going on with this Commander Wu Keren? ”

Lin Wei glanced at Chang Kaishen and said hesitantly, "Eh." This 67th Army participated in the Battle of Songhu organized by the Military Commission last year. Commander Wu disappeared after the war, one said that he died, and the other said that he defected to the enemy, the specific reason is not clear, and it remains to be investigated. ”

Song Xiaomei suddenly realized, nodded lightly and continued to look down, only to see that the telegram demanded compensation for the anti-Japanese soldiers, rescue the refugees in the Northeast, and release Zhang Shaoshuai, Yang Huchen, Huang Xiansheng and their families, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

We are waiting to be persuaded. The phone on the wall rang suddenly. Lin Wei hurriedly answered. Say, "Hey, who's who?" "It was the attendant's room who called, saying that Mr. Zhang Qun and Mr. Chen Bui had arrived.

When Chang Kaishen heard this, he hurriedly said, "Oh." Yue Jun and Yan arrived? Hurry up, please! Then he commanded his servant to gather up the things on the ground. Since the assassination of Yang Yongtai, the chief thinker of Chang Gong and the current Zhuge Zhuge of the time. Zhang Qun and Chen Bui became one of his two most important strategists. So the courtesy is very good. Generally, matters related to the interests of the faction are discussed with the two of them, and the intimacy is not even comparable to Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi.

"Take a seat, ma'am!" The two walked in. said hello to Chang Kaishen and Song Xiaomei, and nodded to Lin Wei.

On occasions like this, Song Xiaomei rarely mixes, and said with a smile: "If you talk, I won't bother." Saying that, he asked Wu's mother to bring a few plates of fruit and left.

Zhang Qun asked, "Commissioner, why are you in such a hurry to come to us?" ”

Chang Kaishen sighed, handed over the telegram sent by Zheng Weiguo, and asked anxiously: "Yue Jun, Yan Ji, you take a look at this first, how to reply?" ”

Zhang Qun looked at it, quickly sorted out his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Commission, what's so difficult about this!" Commander Wu can send someone to investigate, and if he really dies for his country, he should be praised! The Ministry of Military Affairs may issue a letter to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for the relief of anti-Japanese soldiers, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will handle the assistance to refugees in Northeast China, without the need for the Military Commission to intervene. As for Zhang Shaoshuai and Yang Hucheng, who rebelled and kidnapped the leader, the crime should be punished severely, even if the state is lenient, where is the turn to be the commander-in-chief of a group army? His family had only cooperated with the military court investigation before, and they could leave after the investigation became clear. ”

Chang Kaishen was very satisfied after hearing this, and smiled with a smile: "Brother Yue Sheng's words are deeply in my heart!" He also said to Chen Bui: "Yan Ji, I want to borrow your wonderful pen to use it." ”

Chen Bui walked to the table and sat down, cleared his throat, laid out the paper, picked up the pen and wrote as he read: "Commander-in-Chief Zheng Weiguo: I have received all the calls, and all the proposals have been forwarded to all ministries and departments for processing, and they can be replied to on the same day. But for all major military and political matters, the country has its own laws, and non-military personnel can cross it, so I hope my brother will think twice. The situation in Wuhan is like a dangerous egg, and the military and people in Central China are looking forward to it, and ask Commander-in-Chief Zheng to send troops as soon as possible to relieve the people's upside down! ”

The reason why there is no mention of the specific handling of the three conditions put forward by Zheng Weiguo is to ensure the authority of the central authorities and avoid falling into the dilemma of bargaining with his subordinates. As for how to deal with it, it depends on the outcome of the game between the two sides.

Chang Kaishen understood this, and happily took the pen and continued to write below: Chang Kaishen of the Military Committee, then handed the paper to Lin Wei, and said: "Quickly take it to the confidential room and call back to the 41st Group Army." ”

Thousands of miles away in Lixian, Zheng Weiguo was also personally drafting a telegram. According to the planning of the General Staff of the 41st Group Army, the Zhou Fucheng Division of the 53rd Army has officially launched an offensive on the periphery of Tianjin. Unlike the previous feints, this time it's a bit of a real thing. At present, fierce fighting is being fought between the enemy and us in the vicinity of Duliu Town, Jinghai County, south of Tianjin.

At the same time, the Meng Qingshan Division of the Second Army Division and the Zhang Changgui Division of the Fourth Army Division also flanked the enemy on the Jinpu Line from the east and west, and at present they have completely paralyzed the Tianjin-Cangzhou section of the Jinpu Line and completely separated the 27th Division stationed in Tianjin and the 7th Brigade Regiment stationed in Cangzhou.

The radio was ticking non-stop, and Zheng Weiguo, Chief of Staff Zhou, and others were closely monitoring the development of the war. After translating the telegram, a telegrapher got up and said, "Report! The main seat, the Second Army Division is calling! ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Read! ”

"Yes, Chief!" The translator was busy reading out the message. It turned out that the Second Army Division and the Fourth Army Division were jointly attacking the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, which was more than 150 miles long south of Duliu Town and north of Yaoguantun. So far, all the railway bridges in this section have been blown up. The train going south from Tianjin can't cross the Duliu River, and the train going north from Cangzhou can't pass through Xingji Town. Although the two county towns of Jinghai County and Qingxian County in the middle were still in the hands of the Japanese army, the enemy army was forced by the momentum of our army and only dared to trap the county seat and the railway station. This allows our army to calmly carry out further sabotage of the railway.

Commander Meng said in the telegram that blowing up the bridge was only the first step, and that they would organize the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the two districts to rip off all the railroad tracks and sleepers for more than 100 miles. Not a single road nail is left for the devil.

After hearing this, Zheng Weiguo stood up happily, took two steps in the house, and said with a smile: "Okay, the transportation of the Japanese army will be paralyzed for at least a month or two." Lao Cheng, you first give a credit to the soldiers of the second and fourth divisions. He said to Chief of Staff Zhou: "Chief of Staff, is our transportation capacity enough?" Will all the tracks and sleepers be brought back? ”

The rails can provide much-needed steel for the base area, and can be used to build mortars, shells, and other weapons and equipment. As for sleepers, repair fortifications, build houses. It takes a lot of wood to make grenades and so on.

Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly said: "Please rest assured. For the transfer of these materials, our General Staff Department has drawn up a thorough plan. The logistics department of the military region, as well as the two military subdivisions of the second and fourth armies, have been fully mobilized, and the large convoy only needs to move things to the banks of the Ziya River, and then its own ships will meet it. ”

Political Commissar Cheng said happily: "That's great. It seems that the General Staff and Logistics Department will have to be credited as well. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "Don't dare to be." Don't dare to be. It is enough to give credit to the logistics department, and it is the duty of our staff department to formulate a plan. ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "It is my duty to do things, and doing well is a credit." ”

As he spoke. The 53rd Army sent another telegram. Commander Zhou reported that a brigade of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army was forcibly crossing the Duliu River under the cover of artillery in an attempt to reinforce the Japanese troops trapped in Jinghai County. In addition, there was also a Japanese wing attacking westward from Yangliuqing Town, as if to outflank the rear of the 53rd Army.

Zheng Weiguo sneered and said: "The Japanese army is still so arrogant, the strength of the two wings wants to deal with one of our armies!" "Although there are only six infantry regiments left in the 53rd Army, they are all large regiments, and each regiment has more than 3,000 troops. In addition to the various technical arms and logistics support arms, the total strength of the Japanese army is five times that of the Japanese army in front.

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "The Japanese army may not know our real strength, and it is also very difficult to swallow the two wings of the 27th Division according to the strength of the 53rd Army. ”

In fact, not to mention the 53rd Army, even if the 41st Group Army is fully dispatched, it is difficult to destroy the enemy in front of it. Because the Japanese army occupies a favorable location, it can withdraw to the urban area of Tianjin at any time if it cannot win the war. Tianjin has been occupied by the Japanese army for a long time, and it is like a fortress, and it is basically impossible to conquer it in a short time. The Jinghai defenders only have a large Japanese army and a small number of puppet troops, and it is still very likely to be taken if they attack with all their might.

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "If the enemy of Jinghai abandons the city and flees, it can be annihilated on the way. If the enemy army can't defend it, forget it, and try to avoid siege battles. After all, this county is too close to Tianjin, and it is difficult to hold it down, and it is not cost-effective to sacrifice too much. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "In that case, it can be suggested that the 53rd Army retreat a little back at Duliu Town, let the Japanese reinforcements in Tianjin cross the Duliu River, and then attack from the flank and back." ”

Zheng Weiguo approved: "This is a good idea, it can kill the enemy to the greatest extent." If you play well, you may even be able to eat this brigade. ”

Political Commissar Cheng looked at the military map and said: "I am afraid that the Japanese army in Cangzhou will go north to reinforce it, and the troops of the second and fourth divisions may not be able to stop it." ”

When Zheng Weiguo heard this, his face gradually became solemn, and he said to Chief of Staff Zhou: "Well, what Lao Cheng said is right! Cangzhou's independent mixed 7th Brigade was under the unified command of the commander of the 27th Division, Masaharu Honma. The Japanese army can't figure out our reality at the moment, and they don't dare to rush north to reinforce it, but if they really want to force Honma Masaharu to be in a hurry, they will definitely send this unit north. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said helplessly: "Yes, General Seat." However, it is unrealistic to rely only on the 53rd Army to attack Tianjin in the north and to block and aid the enemy in the south. Unless we send another main division! ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This is not good, although we can block the independent mixed seventh brigade by sending an additional division, but what about the Japanese troops in Dezhou and Jinan going north to reinforce them, do we still need to increase the troops?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng said: "If this is the case, it will turn into a decisive battle, we lack the experience of corps operations, and it is very convenient for the Japanese army to reinforce and replenish, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us." ”

Chief of Staff Zhou nodded and said: "That's true, fortunately, the main task of the 53rd Army is to drag the 27th Division, as long as this task is completed." As for whether or not a brigade of the enemy army can be annihilated, it depends on the will of heaven! ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Li Du, who had been silent and was studying the map on the side, suddenly pointed to the map and said: "Commanders, I have an idea, I dare not say that I will definitely be able to hold back the enemy in Cangzhou, at least seventy percent sure." ”

Everyone hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" (To be continued......)
