Chapter 175: Mighty Earthquake (2)

In the headquarters of the Tongcheng Snow Fox Corps, Xue Ru's face was also gloomy, if it was before, she would complain that the national army was not in good shape, but now she can't say anything.

Bai Chongxi is different from Li Zongren, he attaches great importance to Xue Ru's small army, so the battle report will arrive soon, and Xue Ru can keep abreast of the situation on the battlefield in Wuhan.

The 84th, 64th, and 28th armies lost as much as 40 percent, and they held out in Guangji for five days, repelling more than 20 attacks by the Japanese army, so that the 6th Division had to stop the offensive. However, Xuanchi was lost, and the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet approached the city.

The 11th Army dispatched hundreds of planes every day to bombard the Guangji position, and the naval artillery on the river also carried out intensive bombardment.

But the human body is no match for steel after all, and the defenders finally withdrew from Guangji, and Wuhan still has the last gateway Tianjia Town. If Tianjiazhen is lost, then Wuhan is in danger.

Xue Ru was opposed to this kind of positional warfare, but Wuhan was different, the Wuhan Battle greatly consumed the strength of the Japanese army and opened the arrival of the strategic stalemate stage. The greater the losses of the Japanese troops at Wuhan, the less capable they would be of launching a major campaign.

Delaying the devils in the Battle of Wuhan and killing and wounding the Japanese army is the strategic goal, and the longer each front lasts, the more beneficial it will be to the Chinese army.

It had been several hours since Bai Chongxi's order arrived, and Liu Yuanshan and Lai Changwen didn't know why the young lady hadn't made a decision. After capturing Tongcheng, it was planned to seize Qianshan and Taihu Lake, and now the strategic purpose of Wuwei, Lujiang, and Tongcheng has been achieved, separating the Japanese 2nd Army in Hefei from the attacking 6th Division, but why didn't Xue Ru attack?

Xue Ru's eyes were fixed on the map, she didn't make a decision for a long time, because now Jiujiang, Fuchi, Guangji, and Huangmei have been lost, and it is meaningless to cut off the supply line of the Japanese army in Qianshan Taihu Lake, they can completely replenish it on the water through the Yangtze River, and the land is no longer capable of stopping the Japanese army.

At this time, it was seen that there were fewer people in Snow Fox, he only had a general team, plus the total strength of the 137th Regiment was only more than 3,000 soldiers, not even 4,000, and the confrontation with the Japanese army was only the ability to fight against a wing. However, in the Battle of Wuhan, the strength of the Japanese attack was all based on brigades.

The telegram and Bai Chongxi are not clear, Xue Ru needs to increase his troops, but which army can be the same as Snow Fox?

Xue Ru put down the pencil in his hand: "Wenxiu, Yuanshan, order the first brigade to attack Qianshan, the second brigade to attack Taihu Lake, the 137th regiment to enter Huaining, oppress the Japanese army, do not attack, and at the same time send a reconnaissance team to pay attention to whether the Japanese army is coming back." ”

Li Wenxiu said: "I don't think the Japanese 6th Division will come back to help, if the Japanese army can't resist, the most likely is that the Japanese army in Hefei will attack Tongcheng and contain us." ”

Liu Yuanshan said: "Commander Miss, I think we should gather our troops together and solve them one by one, the Japanese army is a logistical left-behind force in these places, and its combat effectiveness is not strong, so it may be better to concentrate troops." A brigade is too small in strength to solve the battle in a short time, and the command limits it to ten days. ”

Xue Ru said: "You arrange it like this, I will go to the headquarters to see Chief Bai, and I have other plans to study." ”

Liu Yuanshan and Li Wenxiu knew what tactics Xue Ru had studied, and if Miss made such a move, the devil should be unlucky again. From Shanghai, Nanjing to Jiangbei, this is the case every time, and when the young lady does not directly say the battle plan, it is often a grand strategy.

The two of them immediately agreed, looking forward to it, this time I am afraid it must not be a small problem. Because, they all found that the young lady had changed, and many things couldn't tell where they had changed, but there was always a feeling.

The two of them guessed correctly, Xue Ru did have a big plan, she didn't say it, she just wanted to have a big war. There has never been a fixed mode of combat methods and means of warfare, who said that Snow Fox must fight like this?

In the past, Xue Ru was passively expanding his army, and even the expansion of Snow Fox was limited. She didn't want to make the army bigger, so in order for the army to survive, she would have to completely turn to the national government, and it had always been difficult for Xue Ru to decide what to do in the future.

But what happened in Chao County made Xue Ru decide in her heart, and the future is not up to herself. She has always wanted to not offend both sides and maintain a good relationship with the CCP. But one after another, Xue Ru finally came to the opposite side of the CCP.

This time Dai Zong and Xiao Yong hit the fourth detachment hard, using them to seize Wuwei, although Xue Ru left Chaoxian County to the four detachments, but then got the news from the newspaper, there was a voice of protest in the newspapers of Wuhan and Chongqing, scolding Xue Ru's snow fox for being the vanguard of sabotaging the War of Resistance, deliberately creating friction, provoking a civil war, and attacking the New Fourth Army.

Because of Snow Fox's achievements in the War of Resistance, he conquered the county town one after another, recovered most of the area, and also made many people who supported Snow Fox start to fight back. However, the Executive Yuan and the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government commended Snow Fox, saying that they had contributed to the maintenance of the unity of local military and government orders.

With such an obvious trend, who doesn't know that the national government is adding fuel to the fire and pushing Xue Ru to the front. Xue Ru couldn't say anything, and he was convicted of *. If Xue Ru was more unwise at this time, she would not be pleasing on both sides, but not people on both sides.

Power and strength are also the right to speak, without these two things, they can only be chess pieces in the hands of others and be played by others. Zhao Fengzao, Xue Ru thought he was a traitor at first and sabotaged the War of Resistance, but now he understands that all the incidents created are not to sabotage the War of Resistance, but to push Snow Fox to the front and destroy the relationship between Xue Ru and the CCP.

But Xue Ru was defenseless, and it was irretrievable at this time. At this time, if you don't say that you don't take refuge in Chiang Kai-shek, there is no way, and these people under your command will also deviate from Germany. For this reason, Xue Ru can only go on, grasp the power and strength, have the political qualifications to speak, and have the military power to fight independently, which is possible.

wanted to seize power, expand her power, and strengthen her strength, it turned out that Xue Ru didn't want to, once she wanted to do it, she had too much experience to learn from. Vertical and horizontal, strong and strong, backdoor listing, borrowing chickens to lay eggs, first for borrowing, then for long-term residence, acquisition, merger, engulfing, these are all successful models of business in modern society. A small company, in a few years, or even a few months, will become a large group company, and its strength will skyrocket from tens of thousands of yuan in assets to hundreds of millions, which is not money earned at all, and financing and annexation are the fastest ways to develop.

This is the army, not a shopping mall, what to do? Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the reason is the same. Then look for a brand and grow yourself. Originally, Xue Ru wanted to find Xue Yue, but he fought on the other side of Wuhan, commanded the First Army, and Xue Ru was across the Yangtze River.

At this time, Li Zongren was ill and hospitalized, and Bai Chongxi acted as the commander of the Fifth War Zone, wanting to borrow Xue Ru's strength. This really wants to sleep, someone sent a pillow, although the Gui family is not authentic, but it is also one of several bigwigs during the Anti-Japanese War.

Bai and Li are both very influential people, so let's borrow them first. Therefore, he changed his behavior of not listening to anyone in the past, and did not hesitate to take the risk of going to Jinzhai for a meeting, and he also succeeded in getting a group.

This time, Bai Chongxi's overconfidence prevented Qianshan and Taihu Lake from being captured. The loss of Guangji also changed Xue Ru's thinking, Bai Chongxi ordered the snow fox to occupy Qianshan Taihu Lake within ten days, proving that Bai Chongxi was in chaos, can't you see that attacking these two places has lost its meaning?

Xue Ru's opportunity came, Chiang Kai-shek never wanted to give up Wuhan, and he would agree to the general conditions at this time. Xue Ru wants to succeed in the position, political influence is the first, in her own words, it is the brand, and the brand value of Snow Fox is launched.

The snow fox can't be stopped in the position of a small army, fighting tricks and tricks, the big strategy must have a big aura, and at the same time enhance the value of the brand. The top 500 in China and the top 500 in the world are not the same grade at all, and China's well-known trademarks and international famous trademarks are not the same.

With this kind of change in thinking, behavior has naturally changed, so Liu Yuanshan and Li Wenxiu can't figure out where Xue Ru has changed, but they can understand that there is a change.

What made them feel the most strange was that before Xue Ru was replaced, he had already been in a hurry to take Qianshan Taihu Lake and launch an attack on the Japanese army, not to mention that this time Bai Chongxi wanted Xue Ru to contribute, and the promised equipment supply was prepared according to the list, so Snow Fox's ammunition was sufficient. With the combat effectiveness of the snow fox and the abundance of ammunition, it is undoubtedly like a tiger with wings, and the capture of Tongcheng has not even revealed its family background, how can the Japanese army's heavy logistics auxiliary troops be an opponent?

But now they are not in a hurry to attack the Japanese army on the front line of Qianshan, and the two of them can't figure it out, so they have to give orders to the major teams and the 137th Regiment.

King Dongjiugong Tsuyan was frightened, he didn't know what Xue Ru meant, Wuwei, Lujiang, and Tongcheng were lost one after another, and the two brigades and one regiment of Snow Fox surrounded Qianshan, Taihu Lake and Huaining, and three counties, if these three places were lost, then what about Anqing? It is possible to lose Hefei.

On the one hand, he ordered the 13th Division to arrive as soon as possible to reinforce the 3rd Division, and at the same time ordered the 16th Division to launch an attack on the 10th Army stationed in these places, threatening the rear of Snow Fox.

What made King Dongkumiya Tsukihiko angry was that because he used all his forces in this direction, all the troops of the 11th Army attacked Wuhan, so that the troops on the Jinpu Road were too small, and the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army crossed the Jinpu Road and opened up a large base area around Dingyuan and Lai'an, Quanjiao, and Chuxian, thereby threatening the security of the Jinpu Road.

He had to ask the North China Direction Army to increase the number of troops, so that General Nishio Shouzo had no choice. In order to cope with the war situation in China, the domestic base camp was once again expanded and the division was sent to China. But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, what should we do now?

King Dongjiugong Tsugayan anxiously paid attention to the movements of the snow fox, and after arranging these, Xue Ru got into the car and went to Jinzhai. Tongcheng was captured, and from here to Jinzhai was already inside the national control area, and Xue Ru, who did not have a car, got on a big truck.

This is good, the car is a guard platoon, and the cab is Xue Ru, so that the speed is much faster, and it can't even be used for a day from Tongcheng to Jinzhai, or because the road is not good.

"Report" The guards came in: "Xue Ru, the commander of the Snow Fox Corps, has arrived." ”

Bai Chongxi was stunned for a moment, he ordered the snow fox to capture Qianshan Taihu Lake within ten days, and he also knew that it was difficult for a strong man to capture two county towns, and in ten days, not to mention that a snow fox corps and a regiment were less than 4,000 people, even 10,000 or 20,000 people, and it was impossible to capture them in such a short time.

As Xue Ru judged, Guangji was lost, the Japanese army attacked Tianjia Town, and the 13th Division arrived, which made Bai Chongxi indeed a little confused, and there was no good way to save the situation for a while. Hearing that Xue Ru actually came, he was a little stunned, Xu Zuyi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's a face-to-face accusation, right?" How can there be such an order, this little girl has nothing to dare to say. ”

Bai Chongxi was not necessarily afraid of Xue Ru, but just shook his head: "Let her in." ”

This time, Xue Ru is a standard military uniform, looking sassy and heroic, but she is a little younger. But when he put on a military uniform, he looked a lot bigger, and came in to salute Bai Chongxi and Xu Zuyi.

Bai Chongxi was not easy to ask, Xu Zuyi asked with a smile: "Commander Xue, you are not in command at the front line, is there anything important to come to Jinzhai?" ”

Seeing the somewhat guarded expressions of the two of them, Xue Ru smiled: "I don't have anything to do, let's take a look at the two of you, and by the way, I have something to discuss with Chief Bai." ”

Xue Ru's words didn't make Bai Chongxi angry, the enemy is current, Xue Ru actually said that there is nothing to do, idle. But then she said that there was something, and Bai Chongxi also asked, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

Xue Ru saw that this was Bai Chongxi's office, and there were no outsiders, so he said: "Sir Bai, I didn't have time to capture Qianshan Taihu Lake, it's not my fault, I don't even need to give a seat, right?" ”

Bai Chongxi has always thought of himself as a resourceful person, but he was also a little dizzy by Xue Ru. I had to say, "I don't blame you, please sit down." ”

Xue Ru sat down very complacently: "Chief Bai, Chief of Staff Xu, I won't turn around and speak, so just go straight and don't blame me?" ”

Xu Zuyi said: "Commander Xue, if you have something to say, Chief Bai is such a heartless person. ”

Xue Ru smiled and said: "That's not necessarily, I thought that Tang Shengzhi was also a general, and I originally wanted to make some suggestions, but I was almost shot, do you think I can't be afraid?" ”

Xue Ru deliberately bit the two words of suggestion, which is not an opinion, but a suggestion. Bai Chongxi said sarcastically: "Can I compare with Tang Shengzhi?" If Commander Xue has any suggestions, although I am not Tang Shengzhi, I may not be able to listen to it. ”

Xue Ru said: "Chief Bai, the battle situation in Wuhan is already a foregone conclusion, I still say the same thing, no one can change its fate, I don't know if Chief Bai and Chief of Staff Xu believe it?" ”

Bai Chongxi is not a person who doesn't know anything, since he plans to reuse Xue Ru, how can he not study her. How can you believe if you don't even understand anyone? Xue Ru predicted the outcome of Shanghai and Nanjing, and there was no inaccuracy, so she also won the title of fox spirit. This girl is indeed a little magical, could it be that she predicted the ending of Wuhan again? He asked, "If you don't say it, how do I know if I believe it or not?" ”

Xue Ru didn't have time to play dumb riddles: "Chief Bai, Wuhan can't be defended, the Japanese army will soon land from Guangzhou and cut off the Guangdong-Hankou railway, and the national army in Wuhan is in danger of being surrounded, so it is a matter of time before Wuhan falls." ”

Bai Chongxi glanced at Xu Zuyi, this kind of calculation has long been in the Military Committee, but after research, it is believed that the Japanese army has used all its troops in Wuhan, and the troops are not enough at this time, where will the troops come from to attack Guangzhou? Therefore, I didn't care, but increased the investment of troops in Wuhan and attracted all the Japanese troops. Shaking his head, he said: "The military committee has analyzed that the Japanese army will not have the strength to attack Guangzhou, so it is impossible. ”

Xue Ru knew this result, she said that the Japanese army would land from Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, and the military committee didn't believe it, and she would fight with reason at that time, but at this time Xue Ru would no longer be. Because she was no longer the one she was a year ago, she said, "I know you won't believe it, so let's take a look." Chief Bai has a good idea of whether he can defend Wuhan, I just said that if Chief Bai does not protect Wuhan, then what should we do? Surrender is impossible, what's next? ”

"This ......" Bai Chongxi was stunned, what did he do after the fall of Wuhan? Probably no one thought about it.
