"Jian Fei, how did the Fifth Army surrender to the enemy, do you know the specific situation?" Chen Feng asked again.

Although it was expected, Chen Feng was still very curious about the specific situation of Sun Dianying's defection to the enemy. You must know that this guy is not an unreasonable person, although this bastard is two-faced and often does some things that have children without assholes, but he has always been very well coordinated with all aspects of the relationship. He used Pang Bingxun's protection to avoid direct conflict with the Kuomintang forces; took advantage of the relationship between Xing Zhaotang and the Eighth Route Army, made friends with the Eighth Route Army, and occasionally solved some clothing and ammunition from the Eighth Route Army.

Although Sun Dianying's New Fifth Army fought against the Japanese army many times in Hebei and northern Henan. At the same time, he also had dealings with the Japanese. Near the military headquarters of his New Fifth Army, he opened three guest houses to entertain Kuomintang generals, the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese, which can be described as "three holes of cunning rabbits".

Although Sun Dianying also defected to the enemy in history, it was because the Japanese army sent 200,000 people to attack the Taihang Mountains, which directly led to the encirclement of Sun Dianying's defense on all sides, and after being surrounded, Sun Dianying led his troops to surrender to the Japanese army.

It was Hua Rong who answered Chen Feng: "Our intelligence department has eyeliner in the Fifth Army, and it is clear about this. After Jiang Dingwen succeeded General Wei Lihuang as chairman of Henan Province and commander of the First Theater, he coveted the treasures in Sun Dianying's hands, so he took the opportunity of the Japanese attack to transfer them to eastern Henan, and Sun Dianying was worried that his treasure would be lost, so he deliberately stayed in western Henan through an elite infantry brigade of the New Fifth Army, but he did not expect the Japanese army to suddenly come to a paratrooper raid in Zhongmu, and more than 7,000 elite paratroopers suddenly appeared behind the New Fifth Army. Together with the Japanese army on the front line of Lanfeng, the New Fifth Army was flanked and soon surrounded in Kaifeng! ”

"The fifth county is a miscellaneous army, although there are more than 20,000 people, but the weapons and food are insufficient, and Sun Dianying left the elite in western Henan. Besides, this time the Japanese army gathered the army of the century to attack the Lanfeng line, and Kaifeng was the main battlefield, and the consequences can be imagined. After the first battle, there were less than 7,000 people left in the New Fifth Army, and all the rest were killed, so Sun Dianying had no choice but to lead his troops to break through. It's a pity that it failed. At this time, Okamura Ningji sent someone to contact Sun Dianying to persuade him to surrender, and this dog thing surrendered, and all 7,000 troops joined the enemy with him! ”

Shi Jianfei also said: "News came from Beiping last night. The command of the North China Front has already issued an order. The New Fifth Army was transformed into the "Peace Salvation Army". With Sun Dianying as the commander, the average is still a lieutenant general, and now Sun Dianying's department has been transferred to Xuzhou! ”

"It doesn't matter if the lieutenant general is a lieutenant general or not. After all, the rank of the Japanese does not have much gold content, let alone a lieutenant general, even if it is a general, what does it have, in the end it is not a traitor. What is happening to the Japanese now? Chen Feng said.

Shi Jianfei said: "After the Japanese army captured Kaifeng, it quickly divided into two routes, one was opened by the armored troops and went straight to Zhengzhou, and the other was about two divisions all the way north, and now they are almost to Xinxiang. ”

Chen Feng was listening to Shi Jianfei talking while holding a pencil to mark on the map, and as soon as Shi Jianfei's words fell, Chen Feng said: "The little devil's goal is very clear!" This is to occupy Zhengzhou and northern Henan! ”

"Yes, Zhengzhou is full of mechanized troops, and the speed of the advance is very fast, and now it is likely that it has passed Zhongmu County, and it will take two days at most to reach Zhengzhou!" Shi Jian Feidao.

The more Chen Feng looked at the map, the more familiar he felt, the more he felt wrong, this was almost the same as the situation between China and Japan before the catastrophe in history, the same soldiers approached the city, the same large-scale mechanized troops advanced, and the same soldiers were divided into two ways.

The more Chen Feng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't care if the two little guys were willing or not, so he put the little guys on the conference table and lay on the map to look at them carefully.

The last time the Japanese army advanced into the hinterland of Henan was three years ago, when the Battle of Taierzhuang had just ended, and Chiang Kai-shek made a stupid move in a hot head, which led to the danger of China's main force being surrounded in Xuzhou, so the Nationalist Government hastily decided to abandon Xuzhou. At this time, about 20,000 people of the 14th Division led by Kenji Dohihara of the Japanese army forcibly crossed the Yellow River, and his purpose was to prevent reinforcements from the First War Zone from reinforcing Xuzhou, so the Battle of Lanfeng began.

The result was very tragic, 120,000 people from 6 armies in the first theater surrounded 20,000 people in 1 division of Tufeiyuan, but they let the family run away, and on the way, the old Jiang henchman also defeated Gui Yongqing's 27th Army, and also lost Kaifeng.

Kaifeng is lost, and Zhengzhou is in danger. In desperation, Lao Jiang decided to make a desperate gamble and open the Yellow River. As a result, Shang Zhen ordered one regiment of Wan Fulin's 53rd Army to use explosives to blow up the slanted stone foundation of the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou, and the Huayuankou embankment burst. At that time, it was raining heavily, and the breach was getting bigger and bigger, and the water potential spread down, flowing south along the Jialu River, making the villages and towns in the Jialu River and the vortex river basin into a vast ocean. The water flow flooded the areas of Zhongmu, Weishi, Fugou, Xihua and Shangshui, forming a vast water barrier. When the water of the Yellow River flows into the Huai River, it floods the embankment of the Huai River, and on July 13, it broke the Huai River Bridge in Bengbu, and the area from Bengbu to Suxian County also became Zeguo.

The catastrophe caused by the bursting of the Huayuankou embankment is absolutely unprecedented, and it is the three major tragedies of the Republic of China in the entire history of the Republic of China, along with the Changsha fire and the Chongqing air-raid shelter tragedy. Not to mention the effect of substituting water for soldiers, the losses caused to China alone will be unbearable.

From the bursting of the Huayuankou embankment to the blockage in 1947, 325598 people died due to the Yellow Flood in Henan, 160,200 in Jiangsu, and at least 890,000 people died in Anhui Province and other provinces and cities. In addition, tens of millions of people have been affected by the disaster, leaving a legacy for decades, and the impact is extremely far-reaching. Now that the Japanese army is once again under the city of Zhengzhou, Chen Feng has to worry that the Nationalist Government will open the Yellow River embankment again.

Seeing that Chen Feng's expression became more and more solemn, the atmosphere in the combat command room also became solemn. As Chen Feng's pencil kept scribbling across the map, everyone's hearts hung up, and even the two little guys were curious to see where Chen Feng was deducing alone.

After a long while, Chen Feng raised his head and asked, "What is the current situation in the First War Zone, and has the Nationalist Government sent reinforcements?" ”

Shi Jianfei immediately said: "The three divisions of the Sixth War Zone have set off from Hubei to rush to Henan, but the road is far away, and they can't be counted on at all, and now only we and the Second War Zone can help the First War Zone, but because we have not received a request from the First War Zone, we cannot send troops to Henan." ”

"Then Jiang Dingwen is ready to defend Zhengzhou?" Chen Feng asked again.

Shi Jianfei looked at Chen Feng, and then said helplessly: "That bastard doesn't have the heart to defend Henan at all, let alone Zhengzhou!" At the same time as the Japanese army attacked eastern Henan, Jiang Dingwen convened a meeting of senior generals in Zhengzhou, and in addition to sending three divisions to eastern Henan, he also transferred four divisions from northern Henan to the vicinity of Zhengzhou, and did not talk about the strategic objectives, troop deployment, weapons and equipment of the Japanese army. ”

"Yesterday, it was reported that Jiang Dingwen moved the headquarters of the First War Zone to Luoyang, and at the same time asked all group armies and officers to transfer the officers' dependents, heavy luggage, and important documents to the rear as soon as possible, so it seems that they do not plan to defend Zhengzhou! Besides, those recruits in the First War Zone can't resist the Japanese, unless we go south to reinforce him! ”

Yang Yi sighed and said: "It's not that we can't reinforce them, but this needs to be opened in the first war zone, otherwise we will go south to fight in Henan without permission, and the old man will think that we are going to grab the territory, and we will be bitten by dogs when the time comes." ”

Li Wensheng smiled and said: "It's not like we haven't done it before, it's the same as doing it more and doing it less once, there is not much difference!" ”

Chen Feng said with a solemn face: "There is another possibility for Jiang Dingwen to withdraw his troops from Zhengzhou, they are likely to replace the troops with water!" ”

"Water instead of soldiers? Where does the water come from, and how do you replace the soldiers? Li Wensheng was obviously stunned and asked.

Shi Jianfei looked at the map, and then seemed to think of something, his eyes widened, and Huoxiang seemed to see a ghost.

"Jian Fei, see it?" Chen Feng asked.

"Kind of understood, Huang He?"

"Well, the garden-mouth embankment!"

"How can they do this, they don't have time to evacuate so many people!" Shi Jianfei said loudly.

Chen Feng smiled bitterly: "They didn't want to evacuate the people at all, their intention was to replace the soldiers with water, and what they fought was a surprise, if they evacuated the people with great fanfare, I am afraid that the little devil will soon get the news, once the little devil has a defense, this water instead of the army will become a joke." ”

"Besides, our chairman doesn't want to be infamy, and he wants to put this basin on the heads of the Japanese. Once the evacuation of the people began, it was not to tell the people that the Yellow River embankment was opened by someone Jiang Jiang, so all this will only be done in secret! ”

"How many people are going to die, every time the Yellow River is diverted, it's a disaster, where do they leave those innocent people?" Shi Jianfei asked in disbelief.

Chen Feng said with a solemn expression: "All this is just our speculation, maybe Jiang Dingwen just wants to give up Zhengzhou." However, regardless of whether they really plan to open the embankment of the Yellow River, and whether or not they have the idea of replacing troops with water, for the safety of tens of millions of people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, we must take the initiative to attack, on the one hand, order the troops to attack Shandong, encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and at the same time send a report to the old man, asking him to enter Henan to fight. From now on, the Air Force was ordered to go south to strike at the Japanese Air Forces, prohibiting them from entering the hinterland of Henan! ”

"Yes!!"
