Zhengzhou, Henan, the headquarters of the first theater. More than 20 officers at and above the division level in the entire theater sat around the table in the spacious war room of the commander's headquarters. Chairman Chang Kaishen, who came to supervise the war, was sitting in the first place and talking, and with his every move, the gold star on his straight uniform flashed non-stop.

Whether it is speech and demeanor or appearance, it all reflects the solemnity of the soldiers and the majesty of the superiors, and even the shiny bald head looks shining, so that the officers present dare not look directly.

Cheng Qian, the commander of the theater of operations, sat next to the chairman of the committee, looking like an old god was there, but his face didn't seem to look good. It's no wonder that I finally had a good opportunity to show my skills, but I was cut off halfway, and no one would feel good in my heart.

The chairman of the committee was unaware of this, and still said loudly: "Colleagues, the former prime minister once encouraged us that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!" Today, I give you this sentence as it is, and I hope that you will encourage you and Zhongzheng! ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding, and the war room suddenly burst into thunderous applause. (Note: The chairman's speech is still quite emotional, and interested students can search for relevant videos)

Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the First Corps of the First Theater, slapped his face a few times with an expressionless face. Some time ago, he served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the Third War Zone, and fought guerrilla warfare in the area of Huangshan and Tianmu Mountain. Because Xuzhou was in a tight situation, the chairman of the committee was transferred over as the captain of the firefighting team. After a while, he will also be transferred to the Ninth War Zone to fight fires, and finally win a great victory in Wanjialing.

After the speech, the chairman himself was very satisfied. He abruptly stood up and pushed his chair aside, then glared at the generals sitting around the table. The generals felt the concern of the leader. One by one, they sat straight on the ground, not moving at all.

After glancing around, the chairman turned his head and said to Cheng Qian: "Song Gong (Cheng Qian's character Songyun), the 97th Army has been transferred south as you want, I don't know how you plan to arrange it?" ”

Cheng Qian bowed a little uneasily, and said: "Commission, do you want Cheng You (Yan Xunfu, chief of staff of the First War Zone) to introduce the military situation of the enemy and us first?" ”

The chairman was not embarrassed when he heard this, because he, like several "tiger generals" under his command, had not even figured out the basic composition of the Japanese army. It's just that there is a division of about 20,000 people in Zhilu Dao. Of course. The chairman of the committee is an old sparrow who has experienced strong winds and waves, and this little wind and waves is naturally not a problem.

"Cheng You, then please explain to you the situation of the enemy and us!" The chairman of the committee tried to make a friendly appearance, and there was a harmless smile on his face.

Chief of Staff Yan was flattered. He stood up after a while. Slightly excited, he said, "Yes." Commission! Then he walked briskly to the front of the war room, picked up a whip and spoke to the map. It can be seen that he has worked hard. No matter the situation of friend or foe, it is easy to come by, and there is no need to even check the information.

Cheng Qian said to the chairman: "The committee seat, the war room is too big, I'm afraid I can't see clearly in the back, let everyone come to the front and take a look!" ”

The chairman of the committee hummed, then waved his hand and said, "Come here, come here, take a closer look!" The officers hurriedly formed a semicircle and wrapped the chairman in the middle. This team is not standing randomly, in general, the bigger the official position, the higher the front.

Chief of Staff Yan first gave a briefing on the situation of various units of our army and the troubles it might encounter, and then talked about some basic conditions of the enemy army. Because of the large amount of content, I talked for half an hour before stopping.

As soon as he turned around, he saw that everyone did not mean to ask, so he pointed to the map and continued: "Commission, commanders, according to the report of Shen Fazao (commander of the 87th Division), the enemy who attacked Kaocheng was the right column led by Toyomei Fangtaro. After being blocked by the 87th Division, the enemy had already given up the plan of crossing Kaocheng and attacking Lanfeng directly, but turned to Yifeng, trying to join forces with the main force of the Tufeiyuan Division. It seemed that the hostile attack was aware of it, so it shrank its front and moved closer to the main force. ”

As he spoke, he used his whip to draw from east to west, and pointed straight from Yifeng to Lanfeng (now Lankao County). A glaring red arrow has been marked. This arrow looks unstoppable, and directly in front of it is the Longhai line and the provincial capital of Kaifeng. The Chinese army's blue defensive lines, though numerous, always felt uneasy, as if the Japanese could be crushed with a single charge (in fact).

The chairman of the committee thought of the meaty soil fat plain, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart. He frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Cheng You, is the exact situation of the enemy army on this road clear?" ”

Chief of Staff Yan hurriedly said: "Yes, take a seat." It has been ascertained that the road is the 27th Infantry Brigade led by Major General Toyomei Fangtaro, and the 28th Cavalry Wing and the 1st Artillery Division of the 14th Division, with about 8,000 people. ”

In fact, this data is still not accurate enough, at least we should know how many cannons the enemy army has and what model it is. These data are all factors that determine the outcome of the war, how can they be brushed aside by "one artillery department"? However, the national army has always been like this, it does not know itself or the other, and it is very difficult to figure out the number and strength of the enemy army.

The chairman hummed twice, then stood up and paced two steps around the room, and the eyes of the generals were focused on him for a moment. The air in the room became a little dreary.

After a few turns, the chairman suddenly stopped, glanced at everyone, and his gaze fell on Cheng Qian. He asked in a slow tone: "Song Gong, the situation has already been introduced just now, what do you think?" Let's talk, let's talk! ”

Cheng Qian saw the chairman staring at him and asked, thought for a while, turned to the chairman and said: "Tufei was originally a two-way attack on the Longhai line, but now it has the intention of joining forces in one place. However, it seems premature to assert that the Japanese army discovered our attack attempt. Perhaps Tu Feiyuan is more interested in detouring from the south of the Longhai Line than to the north. But in any case, in general, the situation has not changed much, and the 20,000 people in Tufeiyuan have shrunk between Lanfeng, Neihuang, Minquan, and Kaocheng, and they are still in a situation of encirclement by us, so we can consider launching an attack and encircling and annihilating them. ”

The chairman was very satisfied with what he heard and nodded frequently. At this time, the generals let go a lot, and chattered and discussed. Only one man sat motionless and did not speak. This general is Xue Yue, who is known as the tiger boy. It is said that he was a rather proud man. He generally disdains to talk to people he despises.

"Boling (Xue Yue's character), you are in front and know the situation best, what do you think?" The chairman asked kindly. Xue Yue was urgently parachuted in, how much can he know in just ten days? As it turned out later, even the troops could not be effectively mastered in such a short period of time.

Xue Yue stood up with a bang, and the chairman of the committee hurriedly beckoned and said, "Sit down, sit down!" ”

"Chairman, I agree with Chief Cheng. Since Tufeiyuan dared to cross the Yellow River by force. The laborer expedition was sent to the door. I dare to open my net and take it all! This time, since the Japanese dared to put on such a rare formation in the history of warfare, they obviously did not take our army seriously. If you don't return the color, how can you suppress its arrogance. Our 1st Corps was well prepared for several days. Just wait for the chairman's decision! Xue Yue spoke an official dialect with a bit of Cantonese flavor. Said impassionedly.

"It's good. It's good. When the chairman heard this, he was relieved. He glanced at the crowd and said firmly. "Now, the main force of our army in Xuzhou has broken through separately and has basically gotten rid of the Japanese invaders. The battle situation in the Central Plains is gradually becoming clearer. The Military Commission has decided to launch the Battle of Lanfeng to wipe out the 14th Division, the arrogant enemy that is outstanding and adventurous, in the Lanfeng area in one fell swoop. Chief Li can make a big victory in Taierzhuang, and I believe that the First War Zone can also have today's brilliant move, and completely annihilate the Tufeiyuan, a division regiment! ”

When the generals attending the meeting heard this, their emotions were high, and they slapped their hands vigorously. Some of the more active generals, such as Gui Yongqing, Qiu Qingquan, and Huang Jie, were excited, talking and laughing, and happy, as if victory was just around the corner.

On such an occasion, the chairman of the committee was also quite infected, and he suddenly asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know this soil and fertile plain?" ”

The generals were stunned for a moment. In fact, Tufeiyuan is notorious in China, and all of you here are high-level members of the national army, who hasn't heard of it? It's just that the chairman's question was too sudden, and everyone was puzzled, and no one dared to speak rashly.

Seeing that no one answered, the chairman waved his hand and said viciously: "Dohihara is indeed the Japanese soldier with the greatest bad deeds on the battlefield in China, and he is even more hateful than Matsui Ishine (one of the main culprits of the Nanjing Massacre)!" The reason why Northeast China and North China have today is related to him. He was the mastermind of the '918' incident; he was the one who took Pu Yi hostage to the northeast; and he was also the one who wanted to make trouble with the autonomy of North China. To say that he is a soldier is better to say that he is a conspirator and a political clown. If he doesn't get rid of such a guy today, he will still have to come up with some tricks in the future! I heard that some Westerners call him 'Lawrence of the East', I don't care if he is Eastern or Western, you must destroy him in this battle! ”

Speaking of the sad part, the chairman of the committee gritted his teeth in anger, and the table slammed loudly, bent on destroying the soil and fertilizer plain, and let out a bad breath.

Of course, in addition to this, the chairman has some selfish motives. Not long ago, Chief Li Zongren led the five war zones to raise the prestige of Taierzhuang, and the whole country was excited. Wuhan citizens paraded through the streets with a large portrait of Chief Li, thousands of people empty the alleys, and some people even shouted long live, and the limelight was unmatched for a while!

The chairman of the committee, everyone knows that there are always some small bumps in his heart, and in the words of the ancients, there is a block in his chest. If this barrier is not eliminated for a while, the chairman will not be happy for a day. But how to eliminate it? Now that the national crisis is at hand, the wall is not as good as the royal insult, so it is natural to defeat the enemy army in order to raise his eyebrows and show his majesty.

At this time, Tu Feiyuan's brain was pumped, and he was alone and plunged into the encirclement of the Chinese army. This situation is even more favorable than that of Xinkou and Taierzhuang, because the former two have a large number of "unreliable" miscellaneous armies, but now Tufeiyuan is surrounded by all Central Plains military lineage. Not to mention being well-equipped, it is also more reliable in the heart of the chairman.

When the chairman of the committee saw it, he was sleepy and came to deliver a pillow, so he hurriedly got on a plane and hurried to Zhengzhou to "supervise the battle." In order to ensure victory, he also specially brought over the rarest chariot battalion of the national army. He decided that he must personally command the troops to destroy a division of the Japanese army!

In May, Zhengzhou was full of spring, and the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee was in a particularly good mood, as if he had seen that victory was already beckoning to him, and his heart was suddenly excited, and his whole body became hot.

"Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, and Holy Child, and Mary, bless you faithful believers, Amen!" The Chairman made a cross on his chest. (To be continued......)
