Chapter 13: Changing Defenses (35)

The turtle defense system in the Dabie Mountain area, Mo Di saw it, it doesn't mean that others can't see it, at least, Jin Tongxuan can see it very clearly. On this day, Jin Tongxuan accompanied his wife to the General Hospital of the 21st Group Army for a prenatal examination, and just had time to chat with Mo Di. In these days in Lihuang, Jin Tongxuan, as the husband of the twelfth filial piety, can be said to never leave his wife, every day in addition to going to work is to accompany his wife, the expected date of delivery in August is very close, there is a possibility of production at any time, Jin Tongxuan is very careful. The parents of both sides are in Shanghai, and it is impossible to break through all kinds of obstacles to come to Lihuang, so they can only worry about it there, and they can't help at all, and all major and minor matters are handled by Jin Tongxuan himself. During this period, Jin Tongxuan's work was also very intense, because he proposed to use the disabled invalids to do the work that some government organs were able to do, so as to liberate a large number of personnel from various departments of the Jinjiazhai Provincial Government. Li Pinxian, the commander-in-chief of security, cordially received Jin Tongxuan, had lunch with him, and praised him as a young talent, both civil and military.

The day after Yang Chuangqi left Lihuang, Zhang Yichun sent someone to find Jin Tongxuan, hoping that he could take over Yang Chuangqi's position as commander of the Lihuang garrison and promote him to the rank of colonel. Jin Tongxuan politely declined, the reason is very simple, Mrs. is about to give birth, and he really can't get out. Knowing that the above was still insisting, Jin Tongxuan found Wei Yongcheng, and Wei Yongcheng came forward and made a fire on the grounds that digging into the corner of the wall and digging into the Civil Affairs Department was tolerable or unbearable, and then the matter was closed. Zhang Yichun saw that Jin Tongxuan really had no such intention, and replaced him with Qiu Qingying as the commander of the Lihuang Garrison Command.

Since the last time they said goodbye, Jin Tongxuan and Mo Di have not seen each other for almost half a month, during which they occasionally make a few phone calls. On the phone, you can only greet each other, but it is inconvenient to communicate, because through the switchboard, you can be monitored by the switchboard at any time. Lihuang's switchboard was completely in the hands of the Suisan Regiment of the 21 st Group Army Headquarters, that is, the party and government brigade, and Colonel Liu Tinglu, the captain of the party and government brigade, had a nose that was smarter than a dog, and whoever spoke in the telegram had to be careful about three points. finally had this time to talk openly with Mo Di, Jin Tongxuan was the most excited day after coming to Lihuang.

First of all, Jin Tongxuan shared the news of the European war that he had officially obtained from the 21st Group Army with Mo Di. Jin Tongxuan originally had no interest in the European war, but his boss Wei Yongcheng was a double student studying in the Soviet Union and Germany, and he attached great importance to these two countries, so he had no choice but to return to the post of chief of staff.

On the whole, the German army triumphed in three directions in the Soviet Union, and within two weeks, it achieved brilliant results.

On the Northern Front, Army Group North, commanded by Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter von Loeb, was responsible for the offensive and reached the city of Leningrad. The Soviet army retreated 450 kilometers in defeat, abandoning the entire Baltic coast, 24 divisions of the Soviet Red Army were completely routed, and 20 divisions lost 60% of their personnel and equipment.

On the Central Front, Army Group Center, commanded by Field Marshal Fedor von Bock, attacked from the direction of the Grodno and Brest fortresses, completing the encirclement of the Western Military District of the USSR by means of a double-pincer offensive, the Belarusian capital Minsk fell, the Soviet Red Army retreated 350 km, 30 divisions were annihilated, and 70 divisions lost more than 50% of their personnel. This was the focus of the German assault.

The Southern Front, led by Rundstedt, was primarily aimed at capturing the Soviet Union's agricultural and industrial base in Ukraine and securing Black Sea ports as supply depots. The opponents of the German army were the Kiev Special Military District and the Odessa Military District of the Soviet Union, and the Southwestern Front was the strongest military district of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union's Western Front suffered huge losses and urgently needed to be rescued from the East.

Next, Jin Tongxuan continued to share the movements of the Japanese army. According to the analysis of the intelligence department, the destination of the Japanese fleet this time will be even farther than that of South China, directly as far as the Indochina Peninsula, either Haiphong or Cam Ranh Bay. After President Roosevelt announced his aid to the Soviet Union on June 24, the American Red Cross decided to send millions of dollars worth of medicines to China, and the route to China was from Burma on the Indochina Peninsula to Yunnan. Chennault, adviser to the US War Aviation Committee, recently arrived in Chongqing to discuss with Chairman Chiang on the establishment of the US Air Force Volunteer Corps to aid China. According to internal sources, China will build a super-large aviation base in Kunming to become the last side of the war of resistance. At present, Kunming is still safe, because the Japanese planes are beyond their reach and cannot pose a threat to Kunming. Therefore, taking the Indochina Peninsula is the biggest ambition of the Japanese army at present, which can block the back door of the Chinese government and threaten the Kunming air base. The Japanese fleet that came out of Lushun should be the Indochina Peninsula as the main target.

Mo Di asked Jin Tongxuan if there was any news of the transfer of the Japanese army. Jin Tongxuan told him that the Japanese army's current troop transfer was entirely based on the Soviet army's large-scale westward aid. Jin Tongxuan even believed that the transfer of Japanese troops should be the result of a basis of understanding with the Soviets, and that the two countries would temporarily truce, with the Soviets concentrating on confronting the Germans and the Japanese concentrating on cleaning up the remaining half of China. Beginning on 1 July, Japanese planes intensified their air raids on Chongqing, with an unprecedented number of 100 planes, and they carried out "interval fatigue bombing" for five or six hours day and night. This move by the Japanese army was aimed at destroying the will of the Chinese people to resist the war and pressure the Kuomintang government to surrender.

Mo Di asked Jin Tongxuan what he thought of the turtle-style defense of Dabie Mountain. Hearing the word turtle defense, Jin Tongxuan was overjoyed and said the image. Jin Tongxuan told Mo Enemy that this turtle defense is estimated to be a major decision made by the General Staff of the Military Commission, because Zhongtiao Mountain has also been vigorously adjusting its defense in the past few days, and has also carried out strategic attacks on Yongji, Ruicheng, Yuxiang, and Xie County. The purpose is obvious, to fill in these breaches and make the turtle defense more complete.

As for the turtle-style defense of Dabie Mountain, Jin Tongxuan believes that it is basically stable, and the only possible gap is Macheng Luotian in the southwest. Garrisoned in Luotian, Macheng, was Liu Heding's 39th Army, which had been fighting side by side with the Gui Army in the past, but after the Battle of Yizao, it was assigned to the 33rd Group Army and had separated from the Gui Army. If the Japanese army attacked Lihuang from the direction of Macheng, no one dared to predict whether the 39th Army would stick to life and death like the 7th Army, the 48th Army, and the 84th Army.

Even if Thirty-Nine is willing to fight to the death, it is also a question whether he can have the strength to fight. At present, the 39th Army, which is stationed at Tengjiabao in Luotian, is empty inside and empty, and its commander Liu Heding has become the deputy commander of the 33 rd Group Army. The strongest main force of the 39th Army is the 34th Division, after the Battle of Zaoyi, the Military Commission will change the 34th Division to the new 12th Army, only one 56th Division remains, after the division commander Liu Shangzhi was promoted to deputy commander, the division commander Kong Haikun led the troops to be stationed in Luotian, and at the same time set up the 56th Division Supplementary Training Office, ready to form the provisional 51st Division on the basis of the supplementary training office.

Mo Di laughed and said: "If the Japanese army attacks Lihuang from the direction of Tengjiabao, you only have one way, the soles of your feet are oiled, and there is only one direction, to the east." ”

"To the east?" Jin Tongxuan thought about it, nodded, from Lihuang to the east, you can reach Mabu by car, and you can change boats in Mabu to go north to Lu'an, or you can go south to Huoshan. Whether it is to Lu'an or to Huoshan, you can get the protection of the local garrison, at least you can pick up a small life, to the south and west are likely to encounter the Japanese army, to the north is a strange place, I don't know the depth, if you are not careful, you may lose your life. After thinking about it, Jin Tongxuan felt a sense of responsibility, because in another month, he would not be alone when he encountered something, he would be a family of three, and he must take precautions and find a perfect solution.

If the members of the Military Commission knew that their self-righteous turtle-shaped defense had been so fouled by Mo Di and Jin Tongxuan, they would have been furious, pushed these two guys who couldn't do anything, and beat the thirty boards.

The two chatted very happily, Mrs. Jin came to the Modi ward after the examination, and saw that Modi was recovering well, so she asked with a smile: "When is Boss Mo going to take up his post in the deep ditch?" ”

Mo Di and Jin Tongxuan laughed, this question is only asked by an unsophisticated woman like Zhang Xiaohui. Mo Di said that as long as the above did not inform him to go back, he would stay in the general hospital, where there was food, housing, military salary, and special personnel to serve him, happy and happy, and he was simply happy.

Zhang Xiaohui snorted and said, "Not only that, I heard that you can also make money!" "Mo Di knows what she said, Sun Cheng took the guards, there is nothing to do during this time, Mo Di asked them to escort the caravan back to Yuexi, although they are paid now, but it is not bad to earn some extra money, and they can also go to the field to get back some new wheat laid this year. I got it back last time, and I sent some to Jin Tongxuan, and Zhang Xiaohui knew about it.

"Yes, yes!" Mo Di smiled and said: "I don't enjoy such a good life, I don't want to run to the deep ditch to work tirelessly." ”

Mrs. Jin Zhang Xiaohui shook her head, and even said that she didn't know the person in front of her, and after not being the head of the regiment, she actually became so decadent, and she was typical of not wanting to make progress. Mo Di told her that she also thought about it for a month before she figured it out, in the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, he lived like this in the Pingle Mintuan. After that, he became a battalion commander, a regiment commander, and came to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. This time in Lihuang, I gave myself enough time to think about it, and I figured it out a little, I couldn't bear to be nervous all the time, I should stop and rest for a while, in other words, I had to judge myself and then move on.

Zhang Xiaohui said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better to take advantage of this time to marry my wife." ”

Mo Di nodded in agreement.

Jin Tongxuan looked at his wife's big belly and said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, you have to unload the burden on yourself first." ”

Zhang Xiaohui nodded and said, "I can write some letters to my classmates first, so that they can have time to play in Lihuang, and then I can give them a job in the government agency and get people here." Now send the letter to Shanghai, and then get people from Shanghai, not two months, it's hard to say that when people arrive, my baby is full moon. ”

Jin Tongxuan looked at his wife, when did this woman become so long-term planned!

Mo Enemy is also happy, all women like to this heart, they are not in a hurry, but others are more anxious than themselves. Do the math, I am thirty years old this year, although it is said that a man has thirty-one flowers, but it is in vain that no one appreciates the flowers.
