Chapter 14: Advancement (24)

Early in the morning, the head teacher Yang Bin walked into the classroom with the lesson plan in his arms, according to the class schedule, today is not Director Yang's class, since Director Yang walked in, it means that the school has temporarily changed classes. Because of the influence of Sun Yat-sen, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi mostly accepted Japanese-style military thought, and the Japanese-style military system was developed on the basis of the ancient Chinese military system, and it was relatively easy to be compatible. The Russian and German military ideas are far from the traditional Chinese military system, and the Russian style was adopted by the Red Army, and the German style was adopted by the Chiang family. Yang Bin's guiding ideology for the education of this group of young Zhuang in the Gui Department is very simple, it is still based on Japanese-style education, but it must be combined with the German style, the stones of other mountains, you can attack the jade, and the combination of Japan and Germany can collide with new ideas. It is precisely because of Yang Bin's attitude that he has won the high recognition of the invincibles, so that every time he sees Yang Bin entering the classroom with a lesson plan, he will invariably burst into warm applause.

"This week's classes are all adjusted." Yang Bin said: "As we all know, the battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi has reached the middle of the game, and the battle of Quzhou is underway, I think that everyone here should have an understanding of the battle situation during this time, and the next step is to play the role of the battle situation, in what direction the battle will progress and evolve, and as a theater commander, how to estimate the battle situation from both strategic and tactical aspects." Write every day, verify the next day, and reflect on the estimate of the previous day. ”

The Modi are divided into six groups in groups of five, and each group comes up with its own opinions and estimates, and then discusses, and finally forms a common opinion, but different opinions must be attached and submitted to the Education Office, and the whole class submits the assignment in writing.

The material given by Yang Bin is very concise, a bunch of time, numbers and data, as well as an offensive and defensive situation map.

In mid-May, the curtain of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi War opened, when Mo Di was busy helping his family expand the grain and oil line, without paying attention, after entering the military school, first to adapt to the school, and then to straighten out the relationship between classmates, as for what happened in distant Zhejiang, he really didn't dare to be interested. Since it was the instructor who assigned the homework, I had to take the materials and take a look at them casually, so that I wouldn't know anything about them during the discussion.

On May 15, the Japanese Army's Fifth Route Army advanced at the same time, the first was the Japanese 70th Division, which attacked Yongkang from Fenghua and Xikou areas through Jianshan Town and Anwen Town; The second route is that the 22nd Division will move south along the Cao'e River from Shangyu and attack in the direction of Dongyang through Sanjie and Shengxian; The third road was the Kono Brigade attacking from Shaoxing to Yiwu via Fengqiao Town; The fourth route was for the 15th Division to cross the Puyang River from near Xiaoshan and move south along the west bank to attack in the direction of the Pujiang River through Zhuji; The fifth route was the Harada Detachment of the 116th Division attacking from the northwest of Fuyang along the west bank of the Fuyang River in the direction of Jiande, followed by the 33rd Division transferred back from North China.

Although the Japanese Fifth Route Army was subjected to varying degrees of resistance by Feng Shengfa's Temporary 9th Army, He Shaozhou's 88th Army, and the 5th Pre-5th Division, it was basically smooth, occupying Dongyang on May 21, Yongkang and Xiaoshun on May 22, and the Japanese troops reached the vicinity of Jinhua and Lanxi. On May 28, they occupied Lanxi and Jinhua.

After the occupation of Jinhua, the Japanese army underwent a great adjustment, knowing that the Third Theater was gathering troops near Quzhou, but launched a frantic attack on Quzhou regardless of it. To the south of Quzhou, Wang Jingjiu of the 10th Group Army commanded Mo Youshuo's 86th Army, Wang Tiehan's 49th Army, and Wang Yaowu's 74th Army were waiting for them, and north of Quzhou, the 32nd Group Army's Shangguan Yunxiang commanded Zhang Wenqing's 25th Army and Ding Zhipan's 26th Army. In addition, there were Tang Shizun's 23rd Group Army and Li Jue's 25th Group Army. Perhaps it was the sperm worm in the brain, maybe it was the anger that attacked the heart, or maybe it was the confusion of the Japanese army, the commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, Sawada Shigeru, ordered the subordinate 32nd Division, the 116th Division, the Harada Detachment, the Kono Brigade, the 15th Division, and the 22nd Division to kill Quzhou from the north and south lines. Almost at the same time, the commander of the Japanese 11th Army in Nanchang, Anan Weiji, also ordered the 34th Division to cross the Fuhe River from Nanchang and begin to attack the eastern section of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Road.

All bloody battles are inevitable.

Holding the materials in front of him, Mo Di first had the first point of puzzlement, a mere 34th division can break through the Fuhe River guarded by the 58th Army of Sun Du of the Yunnan Army, but there are also Xia Chuzhong's 97th Army, Chen Pei's 37th Army and Ou Zhen's 4th Army guarding the surroundings, and they will definitely not be able to defeat Yingtan. The second puzzle is that if the 34th Division of the Japanese West Road is taking action to achieve the purpose of containment, then why did Shigeru Sawada's 13th Army take such an unwise action. According to Liu Jingzhi's previous opinion, the Japanese army's current operation, aimed at destroying Lishui Airport and striking at the long-range offensive force in eastern Zhejiang, should not be so petty at all.

"There are variables." Mo Di said.

"What's the variable?" Wu Zhongjian knew that Mo Di's nose was very sensitive, and saying that there were variables must be something he had discovered.

"Instructor!" Mo Enemy raised his hand and stood up. "Say." Yang Bin walked up to Mo Di with his hands behind his back and asked.

"I need a telegram to inquire." Mo Di said.

"To whom is the telegram called?" Yang Bin asked.

"Huang Guanghua, Chief of Staff of Zhejiang Province West Zhejiang Security Command." Mo Di said: "I think that the Japanese attack has deviated from their original intention, and there should be a variable in it, as for what this variable is, I can't guess." ”

"If you draft a message, I'll send it immediately." Yang Bin said.

Mo Enemy has a pen and paper in his hand, and he can do it with a wave. Hand it to Yang Bin. Yang Bin walked out of the classroom, handed it to the teaching assistant, and asked him to go to the confidential room to send a report. When he returned to the classroom, he didn't intend to let go of Mo Di, and continued to ask, "Did Mo Di find anything out of classmate Mo Di?" ”

Mo Di nodded, pointed to the offensive and defensive situation map provided, and said: "According to the direction of the Japanese army's attack on May 15, the main direction of the Japanese army's attack is not Quzhou, because the headquarters of the Third Theater is in Shangrao, and Quzhou is the last barrier, and it is by no means a fictitious situation. After returning from Anqing, I passed through Jiangxi and had exchanges with General Xu Yuanxun, commander of the 147th Division of the 21st Army, General Luo Qi, commander of the 95th Division of the 37th Army, and General Liu Jingzhi, deputy chief of staff of the Fourth Army. They unanimously agreed that the reason for the current Zhejiang operation was that planes that took off from Lishui Airport in April bombed the Japanese mainland, threatening the safety of the Japanese army's nest, and aimed at destroying all the airfields in eastern Zhejiang and relieving them of their worries. ”

Yang Bin nodded, indeed, from the beginning of the marching formation and the direction of the attack, the Japanese army's target this time is indeed the entire territory of Zhejiang, and the focus is on the airport. After the Pearl Harbor attack last year, Britain and the United States declared war on Japan, and China introduced American-produced itinerant bombers, which more than doubled the radius of operations at once. On April 18, 1942, the shuttle bombing operation was officially implemented, and 16 B25 medium bombers of the U.S. Special Flying Squadron led by Doolittle took off from the USS Hornet escorted by the 16th Task Force, bombed Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and other places in Japan, and then flew to the airfields of Lishui and other places in Zhejiang, China. In order to prevent the Chinese and US air forces from using the airfields in Zhejiang, China, to carry out "shuttle bombing" against the Japanese mainland, the Japanese base camp issued Order No. 621 of the "Mainland Order," deciding to destroy the air bases and airfields on China's Zhejiang-Jiangxi line. Sugiyama Mototomo personally sent a notice to the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata, that the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Force should start operations as soon as possible, mainly to defeat the enemy in Zhejiang Province, destroy its main air bases, and crush the enemy's attempt to use the region to bomb the empire itself. Mo Di can accurately grasp such detailed information, and it seems that he is an expert in intelligence. Yang Bin said to the class in a loud voice: "What Mo Di said just now is real intelligence, and I was only able to understand it after receiving a high-level intelligence notice from the General Staff. ”

Looking at all the classmates who were looking at him, Mo Di said: "Everyone knows that the Japanese fight, are rigid, fight according to plan, and would rather die than change." In a war with the Japanese, as long as we do not change our needs, we will basically not suffer losses, and we who have fought with the Japanese in the Yangtze River area know this truth. ”

All the people nodded, the Japanese are a little stupid and stubborn, and they know all their weaknesses, but they are invincible to ten people, the Japanese army has strong combat capabilities, and all our strategies and tactics often look very pale in the face of huge forces. Xue Yue let go of all his skills and fought with the Japanese army in the Laodao River, but he was able to achieve a great victory, this is the reason.

"Beginning on the day of the occupation of Jinhua Lanxi on May 28, the Japanese changed their original intentions, no longer wanting to destroy our airport and related facilities, but wanting to fight a decisive battle with us." "This shows that there has been a change, and our current job is to understand what this variable is as soon as possible so that we can carry out effective targeted actions," Mo Di said. ”

Everyone lowered their heads and fell into deep thought, indeed, the change in the Japanese army was abnormal, and how this abnormality was caused, everyone did not know the essentials.

Soon, when the time for lunch came, Yang Bin announced the end of class and told Mo Di that if there was news from Zhejiang, he would tell Mo Di as soon as possible.

Mo Di nodded, this time he came to the military academy, he was very low-key, he didn't bring a guard, he didn't bring a radio, he originally planned to be so simple and a year, but he didn't expect that the edge was exposed so quickly, it was really a cone, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

Wu Tingjun followed behind Mo Enemy, laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's Mo Tianzong, Tianzong Genius." The whole class is confused, and you are the only one who understands. ”

Mo Di turned around and kicked Wu Tingjun and said, "You kid wants the whole class to beat me together, don't you?" ”

Wu Tingjun dodged and said, "I want the whole class to beat me together, but the problem is that people don't want to." Alas, not to be envied is mediocrity! ”

Mo Di laughed and said, "If Zuo Wen Xianggong knew that you used this poem here, he would definitely crawl out of the soil and reason with you." ”

The full text of Zuo Zongtang's poem is: Prison and Xuandu view, I am Liu Lang who is here again today to be able to withstand the grinding of the heavens * Han, and not to be envied by others is a mediocre talent. Back then, Zuo Zongtang was the second to go to prison, and this group of people were all second-class military colonels, and they could be regarded as former Liu Lang. However, whether it can withstand the tribulation of the sky and become an iron man is worth looking forward to, as for whether it can become a strong opponent who is not envied, it may not be, some people, even if they are given the rank of major general, may not be able to lead the troops to the battle. Wu Tingjun shook his head more than once, he could never catch up with this impatience.
