Chapter 14: Advanced (25)

During class the next morning, the confidential department sent a telegram from Huang Guanghua of Zhejiang Province to Mo Di, the content of which was very concise: It was rumored that on a bright day in May, Lieutenant General Sakai Naoji, the commander of the 15th Japanese Division, was killed in a thunderbolt battle, and there were no dead bodies, which caused the Japanese army to go crazy. Bright day, twenty-eighth, sure enough, this is a variable.

It was the first time that an in-service division commander and army lieutenant general died on the position, and it was the first time that the Japanese army had been fighting in Zhabei in Shanghai for more than ten years. The whole class looked at Mo Di with a strange look, how did this little man's head grow, and how could he infer that there was a change from the actions of the Japanese army? As a soldier, his sensitivity and professionalism are beyond doubt, and as a commander, he can not only lead one of his regiments, but also has the ability to command a large army in battle. The head teacher Yang Bin looked at Mo Enemy in the same way as other students, last night, he specially retrieved Mo Die's file to read it, and had a preliminary understanding of Mo Di, Anhui four years, and more than 20 battles with the Japanese invaders, although there was no big victory, but never defeated. Yang Bin knew that this guy was by no means worse than Hu Zongnan, the senior brother of Huangpu, who was also a small man. What is rare is that Mo Di is only thirty-one years old this year, and he is a major general, and this starting point is not comparable to ordinary people. In time, the lieutenant general and the admiral are unknown.

There were many experts in analysis among the students, and they immediately analyzed the reason for the excesses of the Japanese army in Zhejiang from this situation, a lieutenant general of the army stepped on a mine and died, and there was no corpse, and the blow to the Japanese army was serious, and if there was no retaliation, it would not be a narrow race on the eastern island country.

A group of students made up a few words, and they quickly came up with a material. It has been ten years since the Japanese army suddenly launched an attack on the 19th Route Army in Zhabei, Shanghai, on the evening of January 28, 1932, and tore open the curtain of the Anti-Japanese War. In the past ten years, many high-ranking generals of the Japanese invasion of China died, and the highest rank was Admiral Dajiao Qinsheng, who died in a plane crash on February 5, 1941 in Zhongshan, Guangdong. In addition, there were many lieutenant generals, and the classmates counted them with their mouths, such as Suzuo Ogasawara, Asaichi Taji, Kazuo Kobayashi, Masao Nakamura, Shizutaro Akiyama, Shitoshi Kitani, Yoshio Mizukawa, Osamu Maeda, Takahide Fujido, Biaoo Otsuka, and Yoshiichi Yama Prefecture plus Numata Tokushige, Norihide Abe, and Taijiro Iida who were killed by the Red Army. More than a dozen people. However, most of them were wounded on the battlefield and died in the hospital, and there were only three people who were actually killed on the battlefield with real guns, that is, Nakamura Masao, Abe Norihide and Sakai Naoji. And the ranks of these three people are also different, Nakamura Masao is the brigade commander, major general, and the rank of lieutenant general is posthumously recognized. Abe Guixiu is a serious lieutenant general of 800, but he is more sad, and he was promoted to lieutenant general less than a month ago, and he was killed by a mortar by Yang Chengwu of the Red Army, and his position was not high, and he was the brigade commander. Only Naoji Sakai is the incumbent division commander and a dignified lieutenant general.

"Not bad, not bad! Which part did it? Someone asked.

"You didn't see that the telegram said that it was a rumor, that is, it was not confirmed." Someone replied: "From May 28 to today, a week has passed, and it is estimated that it has been very clear. ”

"Not necessarily." Wu Tingjun said: "Stepping on a thunder and dying, who planted the thunder, may not remember so clearly, and, * the effect of the explosion, it is even more difficult to count, perhaps the Japanese have confirmed the death of Naoji Sakai, and our side has not been confirmed is not necessarily." ”

Yang Bin nodded, this Wu Tingjun usually messes around, and it is rare to say a few reasonable words.

Sure enough, Wu Tingjun's next words were not quite true: "If it doesn't work well, it may not be the civilian armed forces of the Red Army." ”

"If you can't say it, don't say it." Wei Zude hurriedly interrupted Wu Tingjun's words, such a great achievement, how could it be conceded to the Red Army, even if he made up a story, he had to take the credit in his own hands.

"Tianzong, according to what you can see, what is the purpose of the Japanese army's attack on Quzhou this time?" Wu Zhongjian asked Mo Di: "Is it to vent anger or to open up the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, and to be one with the 11th Army Company." ”

"Bingxin (Wu Zhongjian) really thinks of me as the Hata Junliu in Nanjing City!" Mo Di said with a smile: "In my opinion, even if the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line is ceded to the Japanese army, the Japanese army will not be able to occupy it, from Hangzhou to Nanchang, the area is not small, and we can't take into account all the hundreds of thousands of troops in the third war zone, not to mention that the Japanese army is already insufficient and overstretched." ”

"Tianzong, what do you think the Chief Bai of the General Staff Headquarters should do most for the Quzhou front now?" Yang Bin asked. He knew that it was a bit embarrassing to ask Mo Di this question, but apart from asking Mo Di, he really didn't know that there was anyone else in this class who could help him answer it. Last night, he discussed with Director Huang Jie, hoping to find some constructive suggestions in today's class and report them to the General Staff Headquarters of the Central Military Commission.

Mo Die shook his head and smiled bitterly. This question is extremely difficult to answer, and if you don't get it right, you will offend people if you are small, and you will become a sinner if you are big.

Wu Tingjun walked over, put his arm around Mo Di's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Some people say that you are Xiao Zhuge of Dabie Mountain, under the fame, it must be true, don't hide your secrets, talk about it." ”

"Yes, yes, student Mo doesn't have to worry about any mess, it's just a discussion in class, not a class." The classmates also talked nonsense.

Looking at Yang Bin's expectant eyes, Mo Di stood up, walked to the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk, and drew two lines on the blackboard, one on the top of the Yangtze River, and the lower one on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, marking Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Quzhou, Shangrao, Nanchang After several place names, a simple map appeared on the blackboard. He cleared his throat and said: "Let's first understand the Japanese 13th Army, in September 1939, the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army was withdrawn, and the 13th Army was established in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with its headquarters in Shanghai, and the first commander was concurrently served by General Nishio Shouzo. In December 1940, the commander was succeeded by Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army. The combat area is Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and part of Fujian. The strength is composed of the 15th, 22nd, 70th, and 116th Divisions, and the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 17th Brigades. Among them, the 116th Division was in Chaohu, Anhui Province, and the 119th Brigade in Anqing was the opponent of Bingxin for several years, and the 130th Brigade of Hefei was the opponent of Bingxin. The 116th Division was in northern Anhui, and only a part of the troops from various units were drawn to form a Harada detachment to provide support. The 70th Division was only upgraded in February this year, and it was formed on the basis of the 20th Brigade Regiment of the Central China Independent Mixed Brigade. The 13th Army was really capable of fighting the 15th Division, the 22nd Division, and the 33rd Division transferred from North China, and the combat effectiveness of other units would be greatly reduced. ”

Except for a limited number of people who came back from Dabie Mountain, other people were completely ignorant of the layout of the Japanese army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and even included instructor Yang Bin.

In Mo Di's view, due to the westward advance of the 13th Army of Sawada Shigeru, it is now clear that Gu Zhu and the Third War Zone Army have been entangled in Quzhou, and the north of the Yangtze River can be described as extremely empty. At this time, as long as the 21st Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army launched an attack from Dabie Mountain to Hefei and Anqing respectively, the newly formed New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu launched an attack on Yangzhou and other cities in northern Jiangsu, and the 23rd Group Army of Tang Shizun in southern Anhui left Huizhou and killed on the north bank of the Fuchun River, not only could they win a major victory, but the battle of Quzhou would also be incomprehensible.

Yang Bin nodded frequently, the invincible strategic vision, sure enough, the Japanese army in China today can basically be divided into several parts, one is Northeast, one is North China, one is Central China, and one is South China. The dividing line between Northeast China and North China is not very clear, about the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan is the boundary, the dividing line between North China and Central China is very clear, with the Yellow Flood Area as the boundary, between Central China and South China, there is still a vast area in the hands of the Nationalist Army, the Japanese 23rd Army in South China cannot cross Shaoguan, the Japanese 11th Army in Central China cannot cross the Laodao River, and the 13th Army cannot even cross the Qiantang River. Last year, the 11th Army of the 11th Army launched two consecutive attacks south of the Laodao River, but they were blocked by Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, so that they lost their troops and could no longer fight. Sawada Shigeru, who had always believed that it was better to blockade the Chinese sea than to occupy the coast of China, was unwilling to be lonely, and personally led the 13th Army to kill the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, but exposed his fat butt to the outside.

Back in the office, Yang Bin put the results of the discussion into writing, discussed it with Huang Jie, and sent it to Chongqing in the form of a secret report.

After receiving the secret report from Huang Jie and Yang Bin, the cadres of the General Staff Department of the Central Military Commission were greatly appreciative, and Liu Fei, deputy director of the overlord of the Military Command Department, held the telegram, read it for a long time, and said: With the strategy of Huang Pingjia (Huang Jiezi) and Yang Dongping (Yang Binzi), I am afraid that it will not reach such a height. Xu Yongchang, head of the Military Command Department, bluntly said that Liu Fei was thinking of the mountain, and although the telegram flew from Guilin, it was not sent by the personnel of the Gui family, and he did not like it. In the Military Command Department, Deputy Minister Liu Fei often overpowered Minister Xu Yongchang, and finally Xu Yongchang got a bargain, and it was uncomfortable not to move back to the first game. However, comfort comes and goes quickly, and the second non-coded telegram Huang Jie made it clear that this was the result of a collective discussion in the remedial training class, and the main opinion came from the cadet Colonel Modi.

Xu Yongchang threw away the telegram in his hand, twisted his butt and walked out, Liu Fei looked at Xu Yongchang's departing figure, shook his head and sighed, these old people who occupy the pit and don't shit are really annoying.

Whether or not this idea can be implemented depends on Li Pinxian of Dabie Mountain, Chen Yi of Northern Jiangsu and Tang Shizun of Huizhou. None of these three contingents is directly related to the central authorities, and even Chief Bai of the General Staff Department does not dare to say anything about whether they are willing to undertake such a major task and whether they are capable of undertaking such a major task. As for Li Pinxian of Dabie Mountain, even if he can accept the order and wave his troops to Hefei and Anqing, however, after all, it is too far away from the central areas such as Nanjing and Hangzhou, and the effect is not great, even if the 116th Division is beaten to the point of losing its armor, it will be difficult to transfer back to the enemy in Quzhou.

He Yingqin, minister of military affairs, held that most of the enemy's 11 th Army in northern Hunan and southern Hubei was still wrapped in the Ninth Theater, and only one of the 34 th Divisions was left alone in Nanchang. The strength of the 34th Division is limited, and it can only respond sideways, not the main attack, and if it leaves Laowo Nanchang, there is a possibility that the 58th Army, 37th Army, 97th Army and 4th Army deployed in this area will seize the opportunity to destroy one of them. The enemy's 13th Army in Zhejiang, the army pressed towards Quzhou, aiming to open up the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, we just laid out our pockets, exchanged strength with space, and achieved the purpose of destroying the living forces of the Japanese army. As for whether to pull back the enemy's 13th Army through an attack from other directions, it is not necessary.

What is surprising is that Bai Chongxi actually agrees with He Yingqin's opinion. Liu Fei knew that his old classmate in Baoding was still preserving his strength, and he was unwilling to take out the Li Pinxian Department of Dabie Mountain to share with others.

Although the proposal ended in vain, the three names of Huang Jie, Yang Bin, and Mo Di once again entered the field of vision of the central level. Although Huang Jie is not very good at education, he is a general after all, and being able to have this kind of strategic vision shows that his sense of battle is still there, which can be of great use. As the deputy director, Yang Bin can have a new teaching method to motivate the students to mobilize their wisdom, which is a wise general, and can also be of great use. The third is invincible, the sword goes sideways, and the harmony is still his characteristic, if he can successfully lead a battle on the diving side, then now he can preside over a battle, and he can carve and chisel, which is of great use.
