Chapter 8: Guerrilla (33)

Back in the dormitory, Liu Jingzhi and the other five took advantage of the fact that their bodies were still hot and washed in the small ditch in the college. After staying in the Yougan class for a month and zero, Mo Di felt that his body was much better, he got up on time every day, ate on time, and lived a regular life. Since he was hit by the Japanese army's poison gas bomb in Shipai, Mo Di did not dare to exercise vigorously, because his lungs would be strongly dissatisfied with the exercise, which was manifested in a violent coughing sound. During this time, following the classmates to run every morning, gradually, I can already keep up with the pace of the team, even if I run from Lei Gongtan to Bailongtan in one breath today, I can deal with it.

When everyone had cleaned up, it was already completely dark, and there was only one electric light in the small dormitory with a dim glow. Liu Jingzhi took out a volume of manuscripts from his pocket as usual, put on the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said: "During the Chinese New Year, in addition to bombing in various places, the Japanese attack has temporarily stopped, and in the last few bombings, the Japanese have not taken any advantage, and in Changsha and Lanzhou, nearly 30 Japanese planes have been shot down, and the anti-aircraft weapons we bought back from the United States have played a role. The Japanese suspended offensive lasted only until February 25, and the Japanese offensive began again on the 10th and 11th day of the Lunar New Year. ”

Hearing Liu Jingzhi's slow speech, everyone's hearts were pinched. In the past month, every Sunday when Liu Jingzhi went to Lei Gongtan, he would bring back all the materials collected by the telegraph operator, study and discuss with everyone, and spend several Sunday evenings like this. We would discuss it until the lights out horn blew, and when we lay down in bed, we would discuss it endlessly. After these discussions, everyone agreed that the most rigorous is Liu Jingzhi, the most radical is Zhang Zhinong, the most shameless is Li Shigui, the most mediocre is Luo Jinlun, the most philistine is Liang Cailin, and the most cunning is Mo Enemy.

Unfolding the manuscript that was rolled into a ball, Liu Jingyi read it Zhang Zhang: "1. On February 26, more than 10,000 Japanese troops invaded the northwest of Shanxi Province in six routes. Except for Xingxian, all county seats were occupied by the Japanese army. 2. On February 28, Huaiyin in northern Jiangsu fell. 3. On March 5, Shanxi Jingle fell. 4. On March 6, Zhongxiang fell in central Hubei. 5. On March 11, Jiyuan in northern Henan fell. ”

On a map drawn on white paper, Liang Cailin pulled out a stick of grass on the mat, pouted a few small pieces, and placed them in the places that Liu Jingzhi said before.

"From the northwest of Shanxi, straight down the line, what do the Japanese want to do? These places are poor and bad, what is there to fish! Liang Cailin asked casually, not knowing whether to ask others or himself.

"I think it's a new round of offense." Li Shigui said: "These places are the staggered areas of the Japanese army and our army, and the relieved Japanese army will continue to attack westward from these places. ”

Zhang Zhinong shook his head and said: "Brother Li is right, these places are the intersection of the Japanese army and our army, but I don't think that the Japanese army is going to launch a new offensive, but to drive out our army in this area and consolidate this area." If my estimate is correct, our counteroffensive will follow. ”

Liu Jingzhi nodded and said: "Zhinong is right, on March 8, the troops of the 120th Division conquered Lanxian County, tore the first hole in the northwest of Shanxi, and are developing in depth. General Wei Lihuang's Fourteenth Army attacked Kaifeng, and blossomed in the middle. General Li Zongren ordered Li Pinxian's troops to the east of the Xianghe River and Liao Lei's troops to the west of Pinghan to attack the flank of the Japanese army. Tianzong, do your troops belong to Li Pinxian's department or Liao Lei's department? ”

"Our 48th Army belongs to Li Pinxian's 21st Group Army, but our 176th Division has not entered the Hubei-Henan-Anhui area, and our division has been stationed in Lu'an, Huoshan, Yuexi, and Qianshan." Mo Di said: "In the area of Xiangyang in western Anhui and northern Hubei Province, the Fifth Theater has a total of 34 infantry divisions, 13 armies, 1 cavalry division, and 1 cavalry brigade of six group armies. The Japanese army in this place only has 13 divisions and 16 divisions, and they are divisions that are not fully organized. In my opinion, whether it is in the northwest of Shanxi, or in the north of Henan and northern Hubei, the Japanese army is not a serious 800 attack. ”

"Isn't it a serious eight-hundred?" Luo Mianlun looked at Mo Di and asked: "What Tianzong means, this place should be a feint, and the purpose of the feint is naturally for a brand new attack, so Tianzong, where do you think this attack by the Japanese army will be?" ”

Everyone was attracted by Luo Jinlun's words, which was a different idea.

Mo Di shook his head and said: "Brother Jing knows the current situation best, and I also ask Brother Jing to talk about the attack and defense of the enemy and me during this time, and straighten it out for us." Let's think about it, if the Japanese army does have a large-scale attack, where will it be? ”

Liu Jingzhi nodded, he is usually the most sensitive to intelligence, and he is also particularly keen on intelligence collection, so this job is indispensable. Taking the surplus straw mat from Liang Cailin's hand, he pointed to Wuhan and said: "I still start after the fall of Wuhan, after the Japanese army invaded and occupied Wuhan, in order to adapt to the protracted situation of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese base camp put forward the following policy in the future: We should attach importance to the offensive of political strategy, cultivate and strengthen the new political power, so that the national government tends to decline and is effective. However, if the Nationalist Government in the process of being compressed is left unchecked, there will still be a major evil, and it will inevitably lead to future troubles, so it is still necessary to promote its collapse. Therefore, there is a need to carry out a single operation. In order to realize the above-mentioned strategic intentions, the Japanese government quickly mobilized and organized new corps in its own country, and gradually increased its troops to China. Reflected in reality, after the Japanese Sixth Division occupied Wuhan, it began to fight south along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, trying to attack the north and south with the Japanese 21st Army that landed in Guangdong, and open up this line of communication. However, due to the large loss of troops, Yueyang could not be conquered after several months of fighting, and was dragged alive in the ninth war zone. In order to ensure that the occupied line and the covering corps were reorganized and replenished, only the 13th and 16th divisions were used in western Hubei and northern Hubei, and the 101st, 106th, 116th, and 6th divisions were used in Yongxiu in northern Jiangxi and Yueyang in northern Hunan. The two armies confronted each other across the river for five months with the Chinese army west of Poyang Lake and along the south bank of the Xiu River along the lines of Wuning, Tongcheng, Jiuling, Xinyang River, and Dongting Lake. ”

Mo Di kept nodding and said: "After five months, it seems that the preparations of the Japanese have been almost done, and I dare to assert that a big war is about to begin." ”

Liu Jingzhi agreed with Mo Di's opinion and said: "I think so too, but where will the enemy choose, whether to concentrate his forces to attack Yueyang or go west to Yichang and Sichuan?" ”

"I don't know." Mo Di shook his head and said, "Tell me, during this time, where did the Japanese move?" ”

Liu Jingzhi looked at Mo Di puzzled, although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to slack off, and picked his fingers and said one by one: "The first is the northwest of Shanxi, the second is central Henan, the third is northern Hubei, the fourth is northern Jiangsu, the fifth is northwest Zhejiang, and there is northern Hunan." ”

"There are also changes in the northwest of Zhejiang?" Mo Di asked casually, where is the territory of the younger brother Xu Le, what kind of tricks will the Japanese army make there.

"Yes, the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, which is currently in Hangzhou, has been dispatched everywhere to make that area even bigger." Liu Jingzhi asked: "What, is there a problem with this place?" ”

"Nope." Mo Di shook his head and continued: "According to Brother Luo's opinion just now, the abnormal movements during this period of time are all feints, so the areas where the abnormal movements occur can basically be excluded. Where will it be? ”

The head is buried low on the simple map, this hand-drawn map is too poor, it can only be an approximation, compared to the map drawn by Jin Tongxuan, the difference is not a star and a half, the Yellow River is like an arched back worm, the Yangtze River is like a very good dragon, the dragon's tail is raised high in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the dragon's head is deep into the East China Sea, Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake are the parts of the dragon's claws. In Poyang Hubei, a Nanjin line from north to south, at Nanchang Niuhang Station and Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, west into Pingxiang, connected to Pingzhu Railway and Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway.

"Holy shit! Yes, there is. Suddenly, Mo Di shouted, startling everyone who was meditating.

"Where?" Zhang Zhinong asked the fastest.

"Nanxun Line." Mo Di said: "The Japanese are the best at packing and copying, and they have been fighting with us on the Guangdong-Han line for five months, and they have not yet reached Yueyang, and the Guangdong-Han line is not easy to fight!" Hit Yueyang and Changsha, hit Changsha and Zhuzhou, so it is better to fight directly along the Nanxun line to Nanchang, from the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line to Zhuzhou, on the top can be caught in Changsha Wuhan, under the north of Guangdong battlefield, it must be here. ”

"Won't it?" Liu Jingzhi said: "Our 19th Group Army has been fighting in this area, although our Fourth Army has been in the southern Anhui area, but we still know about the previous Nanxun war, and the top also knows the importance of the Nanxun line; in early June last year, when the Japanese invading army was attacking against the Yangtze River, the Nanxun Road was ordered to be dismantled, all passenger and cargo transportation was stopped, the rails were broken and the road was broken, the bridge pier under the mountain was blown up, and the steel beam fell to the bottom of the river. All locomotives, wagons, dismantled rails, telecommunication materials, and various parts were transferred south from Nanchang to the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway in batches. Later, there was a big battle with the Japanese army along this railway, and the Wanjialing and De'an battles were part of it. Suffice it to say, the railway has been completely destroyed. ”

"Although the railroad tracks have been demolished, the roadbed is still there. With the industrial capacity of the Japanese, it only took two months to repair the Nanxun line. Mo Di said: "I have destroyed the railway in the south of Jinpu Road, and I have seen the Japanese repair the railway very quickly. Even if the railway needed time to repair, as long as Nanchang was occupied, the Japanese transport ships could go straight to Nanchang along the lake and reach Zhuzhou along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway. ”

Liu Jingzhi looked at the map blankly for two minutes, shouted, and ran out. As he ran, he shouted: "I will go to the school's confidential office, send a telegram back to the military headquarters, and report this speculation." ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Luo Jinlun, who came back to his senses, asked, "Brother Liu is such a calm person, why did he lose his temper so much?" ”

Mo Di said that if the Japanese army attacked Nanchang, the 19th Group Army and the 30th, 32nd, and 10th Group Armies would bear the brunt of the attack. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Luo Jinlun also run out like a whirlwind, and his angry appearance startled Mo Di, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Brother Luo?" Lost in spirit. ”

Everyone laughed.

Liang Cailin thought about it, and suddenly remembered that the commander-in-chief of the Tenth Army was Lu Han, Sun Du's 58th Army and An Enpu's 60th Army were both Yunnan troops composed of soldiers and soldiers, and Luo Jinlun was concerned about chaos.
