Chapter 601: Great Victory in Northern Henan
Back to the Japanese army.
Nobuo Takashima's mind is confused at the moment.
Didn't it mean that the Eighth Route Army was fighting to the death with the 89th Division of the National Army on the front line of Erlang Town?
Why was their 163rd Infantry Wing ambushed by the Eighth Route Army before they reached Goutou Mountain? And the Eighth Route Army that ambushed them also had five or six thousand people, to say the least?
What made Takashima Nobuo even more angry was that the Eighth Route Army also specially arrested the Japanese army and beat them.
The marching column of the 163rd Infantry Wing, which walked in the middle, withstood most of the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and the officers and men of the Northern Henan Security Guard, who walked in front and behind, were hardly attacked by the Eighth Route Army.
After finding a place to hide, Nobuo Takashima poured out his anger on Wu Lantian, who provoked him to send troops.
"Wu San!" Nobuo Takashima grabbed Wu Lantian's shirt and wanted to lift him up, but because his height was not as tall as Wu Lantian, he couldn't lift it.
At that moment, Nobuo Takashima could only look up and roar hoarsely: "Didn't you repeatedly promise that the Eighth Route Army was fighting fiercely against the government army of China on the front line of Erlang Town, didn't you repeatedly promise me that both the Eighth Route Army and the government army of China in northern Henan have suffered heavy casualties and suffered great injuries?" ”
"Your Excellency, I'm ......"
Wu Lantian also felt dizzy and his throat was dry.
Nobuo Takashima's whole head was confused, and Wu Lantian's head was also confused.
How is that possible? The Eighth Route Army in northern Henan fought viciously with the 89th Division of the National Army along the line of Erlang Town for half a month, and a large number of corpses would be carried down every day, sometimes there were one or two days, and sometimes there were hundreds, so the two sides combined for half a month also died 20,000 people!
How many people are there in the Eighth Route Army in northern Henan?
How is it possible to send so many troops to ambush them?
Wu Lantian only felt that one head was better than two heads, and he was completely stunned.
"Damn, Wu San, tell me what's going on?" Nobuo Takashima tugged hard at the placket of Wu Lantian's clothes, and roared loudly with all his might, "Say, what's going on?" You say? ”
Just as they were roaring, a loud bang suddenly sounded in their ears.
Immediately after, a dazzling red light suddenly bloomed less than fifty meters away from the two of them.
Accompanied by the red light blooming, there was also a violent shock wave and the tremor transmitted from the ground under their feet, and Nobuo Takashima and Wu Lantian were overturned to the ground in one fell swoop.
After a long time, Nobuo Takashima staggered to his feet.
I saw a dazzling red light blooming in my field of vision, followed by a deafening explosion.
The sound of the explosion, the shock wave of this intensity, and the shock wave transmitted from the ground under his feet, Nobuo Takashima's whole body was almost petrified, this is ...... Heavy howitzers with a caliber of more than 150mm?
Wu Lantian also struggled to sit up, and then shouted in disbelief: "The Eighth Route Army also has heavy artillery? ”
As soon as the words fell, there were two loud bangs, accompanied by dazzling red light, violent shock waves, and seismic waves, and many fragments screamed past the ears of the two people.
One of the shards also sliced Nobuo Takashima's cheek.
Suddenly, Nobuo Takashima's left side of his face was bleeding.
"My goodness!" Wu Lantian screamed, turned around and ran.
This battle is no longer able to be fought, it has already been ambushed by the Eighth Route Army halfway, both the Japanese army and his temporary 2nd Division have been completely messed up, and now the Eighth Route Army is equipped with such a large-caliber heavy howitzer, so what the fuck is it a fart? Don't say anything, let's run for your life! It's important to save your life!
Nobuo Takashima has been staring at Wu Lantian all the time.
As soon as Wu Lantian took a step, he was grabbed by Nobuo Takashima.
"Wu San!" Nobuo Takashima gritted his teeth and said, "You haven't answered my question yet!" ”
"Fuck you!" Wu Lantian couldn't care so much in a hurry, so he got up and kicked Nobuo Takashima to the ground, then turned around and ran back.
However, it was too late to remember to run away.
Wu Lantian had just run out less than ten meters away, when a cloud of red light suddenly bloomed from his side.
With a loud sound that could puncture people's eardrums, Wu Lantian's body was instantly torn to pieces by the violent shock wave, it was really torn to pieces, and it disintegrated directly in the air.
……
On the top of the hill on the side of the highway, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Wang Ye were gathering together to watch the battle.
Seeing the flying thunder cannon throwing bundles of "shells" into the marching column of the 163rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, and overturning groups of Japanese soldiers to the ground, and even directly shattering them, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang couldn't help but gasp, this flying thunder cannon was too fucking ferocious.
"Xiao Wang, your dog day is not interesting enough." Li Yunlong was surprised and scolded Wang Yedao, "There is such a powerful thing, why can't you take it out earlier?" ”
Zhao Gang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xiao Wang, you didn't do this right." ”
"Regiment commander, political commissar, you blame me wrong." Wang Ye said angrily, "Although this flying thunder cannon is easy to use, it has too many limitations, its range is far inferior to that of a grenadier, the farthest is more than 100 meters, it is completely possible to fall directly in front of your own position, didn't there be a shell just now that almost blew up our own people?" ”
"That's just as well." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "This range is indeed closer." ”
It was a loss that the barrels were buried on the hillsides on both sides, otherwise the range would have been closer.
"It's not just that the range is too close, it's also less lethal." Wang Ye said, "If I hadn't modified the explosives package, wrapped sharp objects such as nails, porcelain pieces and stones in the outer layer, and the gunpowder package itself would have been ten pounds of explosives pack, and the killing radius would have been only five meters, and five meters away would have been heard." ”
"This killing distance is not even as good as a grenade."
After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "Unless the devil is within five meters of the center of the explosion, or the devil is lying on the ground, there is no, at most, the ears are deafened." ”
"I see." Li Yunlong said with some regret, "That's really not very useful." ”
"Useful or useful." Wang Ye said with a smile, "For example, in an ambush like the one in front of you, due to the short distance, the flying thunder cannon can fully play its role, and after the outer layer of the explosive package is wrapped with sharp objects such as broken porcelain pieces, iron nails and stones, the killing radius has soared to twenty or thirty meters, which is still quite useful." ”
After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "It will be used to attack fortifications in the future, and it will definitely work." ”
"Yes, yes." Li Yunlong grinned, "This thing is absolutely easy to use for attacking fortifications." ”
Wang Ye said to Zhao Gang again: "Political commissar, the flying thunder cannon must do a good job of secrecy, if I guess correctly, Chu Yunfei will definitely find a way to inquire about the secret of the flying thunder cannon, we have to prevent it in advance." ”
"Oh yes, the Flying Thunder Cannon must not let Chu Yunfei know about this kid." Zhao Gang said, "In the future, there will definitely be a battle between our Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang Army, this flying thunder cannon is our big killer, we can't let him know in advance, otherwise this kid will definitely take precautions early, but the question is how to prevaricate him?" ”
"What's so hard about that?" Li Yunlong said, "Let's just say that our soldiers rushed directly to the devil with the explosive bag, and detonated the explosive bag among the devils." ”
While the three of them were talking, the shelling of the "Flying Thunder Cannon" had ended.
Immediately afterwards, the trumpeters of each regiment sounded the loud trumpets of the charge.
With the loud sound of the trumpet, a group of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed down from the ambush positions on both sides of the highway with well-pierced rifles.
……
Another night passed, and the day dawned.
The brigade commander got up early in the morning and was washing up when he saw Chief of Staff Yang Dakui rushing over.
"Chief of Staff, did you pick up bee poop?" The brigade commander quipped, "Look at the fun you kid." ”
"Bee poop? Brigadier Commander, I've really picked up bee poop. Yang Dakui smiled and said, "Oh no, it's our entire Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region that picks up bee feces." ”
"The entire Jin-Hebei-Henan Military Region?" The brigade commander also reacted and said excitedly, "Is there news from the Northwest Henan Detachment?" ”
"Hmm." Yang Dakui nodded heavily, raised the telegram in his hand and said with a smile, "This is the good news of the Northwest Henan Detachment that the headquarters just forwarded, this morning they ambushed the 163rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army and the Temporary 2nd Division of the Puppet Northern Henan Security Army near Dogtou Mountain, killing more than 3,000 enemies, basically all devils. ”
"Basically, they're all devils?" The brigade commander said, "Aren't there still puppet soldiers?" ”
"Oh, that's right." Yang Dakui said, "The temporary 2nd Division of the puppet Northern Henan Security Army was in front of and behind the 163rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, so it dodged the first wave of firepower of the Northwest Henan Detachment. ”
After a pause, he said: "However, they also failed to escape back to Anxian County, and were ambushed and annihilated by Chu Yunfei's 89th Division halfway through. ”
The brigade commander smiled and quipped: "Is Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong quite tacitly compatible?" ”
"That's it." Yang Dakui laughed and said, "Anyway, they have been together for more than two years in the northwest of Shanxi, and they know each other well." ”
The brigade commander said: "The 163rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army stationed in Anxian County has been completely annihilated, and the temporary 2nd Division of the puppet security army in northern Henan has also been severely damaged. ”
Yang Dakui smiled and said, "Brigade commander, the temporary 2nd Division of the puppet Northern Henan Security Army has also been defeated by Chu Yunfei's 89th Division. ”
"Already defeated?" The brigade commander was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, "So, the northern Henan communication line has been opened?" ”
"Yes, the communication line in northern Henan has been opened." Yang Dakui nodded heavily and said, "The Southern Hebei Military Region is already mobilizing the fathers and villagers in the base area to seize the time to transport grain to the Taihang Military Region!" ”
"Haha, that's great!" The brigade commander was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Damn, I finally don't have to go hungry."
……
In Chongqing, Yunxiu Tower.
Chen Bui is reporting to Chang Kaishen on the latest developments in the Indo-Burma theater.
"Commission, the New First Army and the New Sixth Army are seizing the time to reorganize training, and the strategic highway from Leduo to the Savage Mountains is also being repaired, if nothing else, it should be able to launch a counteroffensive at the beginning of next year." "In this way, the counteroffensive on the Burma battlefield and the counteroffensive on the Pacific battlefield can form a linkage from the east and west." ”
Chang Kaishen's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "Yan Ji, how was the battle of Kuah Island fought?" ”
Chen Bui's expression was stunned for a moment, and he replied: "It seems that the battle is not going well, the beautiful national army has increased its strength to nearly 150,000 troops in nine divisions, but it still failed to take it, and it is said that 30,000 or 40,000 people died." ”
"Still haven't been able to take it?" Chang Kaishen said, "The army of the beautiful country is not good, how long has it been fighting?" Since the campaign was launched in August, it is now mid-December, and it has been a full four months of fighting, and it is impossible to even take a small Gwadar Island? What do beautiful Chinese people eat? ”
"Kuah Island is like this, they still have the face to say that our national army?"
After a pause, he said: "If it were our national army, we would have beaten Kuah Island a long time ago." ”
Chen Bui could only listen embarrassedly, he didn't accept this, and he didn't seem to accept it, anyway, he didn't believe that the national army could perform better than the beautiful national army when he arrived on Kuah Island.
At this time, Tang Zongxing rushed in.
"Headmaster!" Tang Zong saluted the military salute and reported excitedly, "Great victory in northern Henan!" ”
"What? Great victory in northern Henan? Chang Kaishen's face suddenly changed when he heard this, "Is it that the 89th Division has been plotted by the Eighth Route Army?" How did Chu Yunfei do it? ”
Good guys, this is a big victory and a big defeat.
It can be seen that in Chang Kaishen's subconscious, he didn't think that Chu Yunfei's 89th Division could win the battle.
"Headmaster, it's a big victory." Tang Zong took a deep breath and said loudly in an accentuated tone, "Great victory in northern Henan!" The 89th Division won a big battle last night! ”
"What? The 89th Division won a big battle? Chang Kaishen was stunned.
"Yes, the 89th Division won a big battle." Tang Zong nodded heavily and said, "In just one battle, the 89th Division completely annihilated the 163rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army and the Temporary 2nd Division of the Puppet Northern Henan Security Army, and also completely annihilated the Temporary 1st Division of the Puppet Northern Henan Security Army, and finally took advantage of the victory to pursue and recover Anxian County and Shanyang County in one fell swoop." ”
"What? The 163rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, and there were still 1st and 2nd divisions of the puppet army? ”
Chang Kaishen felt that his mind was a little messy, and frowned: "Naijian, could you be mistaken?" Isn't the 89th Division confronting the Eighth Route Army in Erlang Town? Why did you suddenly fight with the Japanese army and the puppet army? It's just a fight, and the 163rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, what's going on? ”
Chen Bui also nodded in agreement, yes, what's going on?
This caught them a little off guard, when did Chu Yunfei become the sixth child?
"The students don't know exactly what is going on, and they have to wait for Yunfei's detailed battle report." Tang Zong shook his head and said, "But in my estimation, it should be that the Japanese puppet army wants to take advantage of the confrontation between the 89th Division and the Eighth Route Army to fish in troubled waters, and then Yunfei temporarily decided to make a truce with the Eighth Route Army, and then turned around and fought a battle with the Japanese puppet army, and won a big victory." ”
"I see." Chang Kaishen finally reacted, and then he was overjoyed, "So, the 89th Division really won a big battle?" Really annihilated an infantry wing of the Japanese army plus a division of the puppet army? ”
"Headmaster, it's an infantry wing of the Japanese army plus two divisions of the puppet army." Tang Zong corrected with a smile, "The temporary 1st division and the temporary 2nd division of the puppet Northern Henan Security Army!" Moreover, the battle was not over yet, Yun Fei had already ordered the officers and men of the 89th Division to launch attacks on various county towns in northern Henan in multiple ways, and if nothing else, the entire northern Henan could be recovered within three days. ”
"Beautiful, well done!" Chang Kaishen shook his fist vigorously when he heard this.
After a pause, he turned his head to Chen Bui and said, "Yan Ji, you immediately call the Central News Agency and other news media, and let the Central News Agency broadcast the good news immediately!" Let the military and civilians across the country share this great news! ”
Chen Bui reminded in a responsible manner: "Commission, do you want to verify it first?" ”
"No, you don't." Chang Kaishen waved his hand and said, "If it was someone else who won such a big victory, I wouldn't believe it anyway, but Yunfei, I believe it." ”
After a pause, he smiled and said, "Because he has this ability!" ”
Seeing that Chang Kaishen was so determined, Chen Bui didn't say more.
Seeing Chen Bui leave, Chang Kaishen said to Tang Zong again: "Naijian, immediately call back to the 89th Division, reward all the officers and soldiers of the 89th Division in advance, and then tell Chu Yunfei that he must recover the nine counties in northern Henan!" ”
After a pause, he specially advised: "When all the nine counties in northern Henan are recovered, we will make a detailed battle report on the process of the battle in northern Henan and submit it to the attendant room as soon as possible." ”
Tang Zong said: "Yes." ”
……
The Japanese received definite information a little later.
Okamura Ninji's first reaction after getting the news was also disbelief.
Takashima Nobuo will go against the strict orders of the North China Front Command and the 12th Army Headquarters, and insist on taking the 163rd Infantry Wing to attack the Eighth Route Army and the National Army in northern Henan.
But Okamura Ninji never thought that Takashima United would be completely annihilated by the 89th Division of the National Army!
Even if you were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in northern Henan and suffered heavy losses, Okamura Ningji could still believe it, but now it was the 89th Division of the National Army that ambushed the Takashima Wing, and it also wiped out the Takashima Wing, he couldn't believe it.
When did the national army become so aggressive? When did the national army become so fierce?
"Suwon-kun, are you mistaken?" Okamura Ninji stared at Takuya Mizuhara and asked in a deep voice.
"No, there's no mistake." Takuya Mizuhara glanced at the telegram in his hand again, and said solemnly, "According to the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who fled back to Hexian and Heyin counties, it was indeed the headquarters of Chu Yunfei of the National Army who ambushed them last night!" And the information fed back from Chongqing also confirms this. ”
Okamura Ninji frowned and said, "So it's really the national army?" ”
"It's really the Chu Yunfei Department of the National Army." Takuya Mizuhara nodded, and said, "By the way, the central news agency of the Shina government should be broadcasting, and Your Excellency the General can listen to what they have to say." ”
Okamura even asked his lieutenant to find a radio.
Adjusted to the frequency band of the Central News Agency, it was indeed broadcasting the news of the victory in northern Henan in a loop.
"News from this station, news from this station, more than 15,000 athletes of the 89th Division of our army, under the leadership of division commander General Chu Yunfei, launched a large-scale counteroffensive in northern Henan last night."
"After a night of fierce fighting, a total of more than 13,000 Japanese puppet troops were annihilated."
"Among them, the 163rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army was annihilated by our army as a formation."
"Most of the temporary 1st and 2nd divisions of the puppet Northern Henan Security Army were annihilated, and only a small number of remnants fled to Hexian, Heyin and other counties."
"Now, under the leadership of the division commander General Chu Yunfei, the athletes of our 89th Division are taking advantage of the victory to pursue and recover all nine county towns in northern Henan in a few days, thus winning the largest victory since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War."
Okamura Ninji could barely understand Chinese, but Takuya Mizuhara translated at the same time.
Hearing the end, Okamura Ningji was so angry that his face turned green, is it really the 89th Division of the National Army?
"Baga Yalu, this is really a goose all day long, but in the end, he was pecked in the eye by the geese!" Okamura Ninji waved his fist and gritted his teeth and roared, "The eyes of the imperial army are only staring at the Eighth Route Army, but it turns out that an 89th Division has appeared, which is simply unreasonable, and the government army of China is too unruly!" ”
"Yes, the government army in China really doesn't follow the rules."
Takuya Mizuhara nodded and said: "The imperial army has obviously reached a tacit understanding with them, but as a result, they still treacherously launched a surprise attack on the imperial army, which is really hateful. ”
This is a bit far-fetched.
To tell the truth, the Nationalist Government really wanted to reach a tacit understanding with the Japanese army.
However, the Japanese army has never paid attention to the proposal of the national army, and now it has been attacked by the national army and suffered a loss, but in turn blames the national army for breaking the rules, this is hegemonic thinking!
Takuya Mizuhara said again: "Your Excellency General, it seems that the plan to open up the communication line on the mainland can be implemented in advance. ”
As a matter of fact, the No. 1 operational plan for opening up the mainland line of communication has long been secretly prepared, and even the 4th Tank Division has been formed.
However, due to the slow advance of the Pretty National Army in the Pacific Theater and the fact that the North China Front Army's war in Shanxi has not ended for a long time, this No. 1 operational plan is still in the making.
"No, before the battle in Shanxi is over and the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has not been wiped out, the No. 1 battle plan must not be easily launched!" Okamura Ningji said hatefully, "Let's let the Shina government be arrogant for a few more days, and then deal with ......them after the New Year after eliminating the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."
Speaking of this, Okamura Ninji's voice stopped abruptly.
The last two words "not late" were stuck in my throat and could never come out again.
Takuya Mizuhara also found out that something was wrong, and asked in astonishment: "Your Excellency General, is there something wrong?" ”
"Damn! Damn it! Damn, this is damn good! Okamura Ninji ignored Takuya Mizuhara, but said four damn things in a row, and then walked quickly to the table.
On the table, however, was a military map of Shanxi.
"Baga, the map of northern Henan!" Okamura Ninji roared angrily, "Hurry up and get the map of northern Henan!" ”
"Hello!" Takuya Mizuhara was startled when he heard this, and quickly found the map of northern Henan from the map basket next to him, and spread it out as fast as possible with the other two combat staff officers.
Okamura Ninji's gaze fell on the map, and his face immediately fell.
Takuya Mizuhara also guessed Okamura Ningji's worries at this time, and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency, are you worried that the 89th Division of the National Army may secretly reach a tacit understanding with the Eighth Route Army?" Allowing the Eighth Route Army's grain convoy to cross the border? ”
"Suwon-kun, aren't you usually quite smart, why are you stupid?"
Okamura Ninji said with a dark face: "This is not possible, but a tacit understanding will definitely be reached in secret!" ”
After a pause, Okamura Ningji said again: "Moreover, the situation may be as you said before, this is most likely a double reed sung by the Eighth Route Army and the Chinese government army!" ”
Takumi Mizuhara was also said by Okamura Ninji, so he also remembered his previous judgment.
"Your Excellency, after you say this, I also think this is a double reed!" Takuya Mizuhara said, "Because the Eighth Route Army and Chu Yunfei's 89th Division were obviously still fighting viciously, but they suddenly turned to the attack on the imperial army, which is completely illogical, so this must be a double reed, and the so-called confrontation and vicious battle are simply played for us to see." ”
Okamura Ninji said: "If this is really a double reed, then what do you think the Eighth Route Army will get?" ”
After thinking for a while, Suwon Takuya said: "If I guess correctly, Chu Yunfei's 89th Division will get the battle merits, and the Eighth Route Army will get Anxian and other counties in northern Henan, and completely open up the grain transportation channel between the southern Hebei bandit area and the Taihang bandit area, and the grain from the southern Hebei bandit area will be able to enter the Taihang bandit area in a steady stream." ”
"This is it!" Okamura Ningji said with a dark face, "No matter what, the Eighth Route Army cannot be allowed to open the passage from the southern Hebei bandit area to the Taihang bandit area, and the grain from the southern Hebei bandit area must not be allowed to flow into the Taihang bandit area!" Not a single grain is allowed! Otherwise, the imperial army's blockade of the Taiyue bandit area will be wasted! ”
Takuya Mizuhara said: "Your Excellency General, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
As soon as the words fell, a communications staff officer hurried in.
"Your Excellency, General." The communications staff officer first reported, "The 1st Brigade sent an urgent telegram that the Eighth Route Army in the southern Hebei bandit area suddenly launched a large-scale sabotage operation in the early hours of this morning, and more than 100 strongholds and artillery towers were attacked at dawn, and all of these artillery towers and strongholds were in the southern part of the bandit area!" ”
Takuya Mizuhara turned his gaze to Okamura Ninji.
"Yaga Yaru!" Okamura Ninji said urgently, "Sure enough, it's started!" ”
After a pause, Okamura Ningji said with a dark face: "They are going to open up the communication line, and then the Taihang bandit area should also launch a large-scale sabotage operation in the direction of Fukou." ”
Before the words could be spoken, another communications staff officer walked in.
"Your Excellency, General." The second communications staff officer reported, "The 1st Division sent an urgent telegram that the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area, with the cooperation of the local armed forces and militia, launched a large-scale sabotage operation in the early hours of this morning, and faced more than 100 strongholds and artillery towers in the direction of Fukou, and was attacked!" ”
"Damn it!" Okamura Ninji said angrily, "What a damn! ”
Takuya Suhara stared at the map for more than ten seconds, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency General, if you don't adjust your deployment in time, I'm afraid that Changzhi and the troops near HD alone will not be enough to plug the gap between the southern Hebei bandit area and the Taihang bandit area, that is to say, it will be a high probability event for the Eighth Route Army to open up the communication line between the southern Hebei bandit area and the Taihang bandit area." ”
"After opening up the communication line between the southern Hebei bandit area and the Taihang bandit area, the next step is the communication line between the Taihang bandit area and the Taiyue bandit area, although the imperial army has six divisions stationed on the periphery of the Taiyue bandit area, there are more than 100,000 people, but considering the strong combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the Taiyue bandit area is close to the Taihang bandit area, so I want to ......"
After hesitating for about a few seconds, Takuya Mizuhara continued: "So I think that it is probably a high probability event that the communication line between the Taihang bandit area and the Taiyue bandit area will be opened by the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, which is the worst situation for the imperial army, because as long as the Eighth Route Army maintains two days of transportation, it is enough to import enough food!" ”
"yes." Okamura Ningji said quietly, "The Eighth Route Army's ability to transport personnel is extremely amazing, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people can be mobilized in a short period of time, and it only takes one day to transport tens of millions of catties of grain into the Taiyue bandit area. ”
Takuya Mizuhara continued, "What's worse is that there is still His Majesty the Emperor in the base camp......"
What will happen if His Majesty the Emperor is in the base camp, and Taku Mizuhara didn't go on, but he didn't say that Okamura Ninji could guess that if such a situation really happened, the base camp and Hirohito would definitely be angry, and his commander of the North China Front Army was afraid that it would be the end, and the dismissal would be light.
If you can't do it, you can only apologize to the emperor by seppuku!
What to do? A huge question mark slowly emerged.
"Your Excellency General, why don't you launch a strong attack directly?"
Takuya Mizuhara is still faithfully performing his duties, because strictly speaking, he is also a deal with Okamura Ninji, Okamura Ninji does not report him, and in return he needs to faithfully fulfill his duties as the deputy chief of staff and the head of the operations section, and is always ready to provide Okamura Ninji with the best options.
After a pause, Takuya Mizuhara said: "After four months of blockade and siege, the supplies of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army have been scarce to the extreme, considering that their ammunition reserves are already not much left, and now there are problems with physical strength, then their combat effectiveness will inevitably decline off a cliff, so even if there is a groundhog tactic, the imperial army can win the final victory with its absolute superiority in strength and firepower!" ”
Okamura Ninji Huo Ran turned his head and looked at Takuya Mizuhara.
Takuya Mizuhara nodded heavily and said, "Your Excellency, there is no better option. ”
However, Okamura Ninji still couldn't make up his mind, because he knew very well what it meant to launch a strong attack on the Taiyue Military Region, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and no matter how hungry the officers and men of the 386th Brigade were, they would never be able to hold a rifle!
Therefore, the cost of storming the Taiyue Military Region will certainly be staggering.
I'm afraid it's not necessarily less expensive than storming the northwest of Jin!
However, how much can the base camp tolerate with such large casualties?
How can His Majesty the Emperor tolerate such a large number of casualties?
Okamura Ninji has no bottom in his heart.
After hesitating for a long time, Okamura Ninji asked in a deep voice, "Mizuhara-kun, is there any other way?" ”
Takuya Mizuhara pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Your Excellency, there is another way, but I don't dare to say that it will definitely succeed, but at least it is worth trying." ”
"Say it quickly." Okamura Ninji said, "What way?" ”
Takuya Mizuhara said: "Ask the Chongqing government for help!" ”
……
In Chongqing, Yunxiu Lou will be in the living room.
In order to avenge yesterday's revenge, Chang Kaishen specially sent someone to invite Jensen, the ambassador of the beautiful country to China, over, and Chang Kaishen was personally receiving him.
The two were chatting when Tang Zong walked in quickly.
"Headmaster." Tang Zong reported, "The detailed battle report of the 89th Division has been submitted. ”
"Mr. Ambassador, I'm sorry, I'll take a look at the battle report of the 89th Division first." Chang Kaishen apologized to Jensen, took the folder from Tang Zong's hand, and said, "Hey, this Chu Yunfei just likes to make surprise attacks, and he gave me a big victory without saying a word, I can't hide it, I can't believe the news when it comes." ”
Jensen had a stiff smile on his face: "The 89th Division did fight very beautifully in northern Henan. ”
"It's just so-so." Chang Kaishen laughed and said, "Our national army is at this level of fighting. ”
Jensen's face fell, but he said this to Chang Kaishen in front of him a few days ago, saying that the national army could not fight, so he would face the Japanese army and be defeated repeatedly.
Jensen didn't want to stay, and looked at Chang Kaishen's face again.
At that moment, Jensen got up and said, "Mr. Chang, I still have something to deal with, so I'm leaving." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Chang Kaishen to respond, he stood up and left the study straight with a civilized stick.
Seeing Jensen's figure walking away, Chang Kaishen laughed loudly, only feeling unprecedented happiness, although he asked for a beautiful country, it was still very cool to make the beautiful people deflated.
Tang Zong said with some concern: "Headmaster, there won't be any problems, right?" ”
"No, it won't." Chang Kaishen said proudly, "Jensen has already burned all the materials that Carlson brought back from Shanxi, and it is impossible for the government of the beautiful country to support the Communist Eighth Route Army anymore." ”
"That's good." Tang Zong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Look at the war report." Chang Kaishen opened the folder at this time.
However, after reading the folder, Chang Kaishen was a little unhappy.
"So, Yunfei temporarily reached an armistice agreement with the Eighth Route Army?" Chang Kaishen frowned and said, "And also gave up the four county towns in northern Henan to the Eighth Route Army?" ”
"Headmaster, the situation was critical at that time, and Yunfei had no choice." Tang Zong whispered, "If we can't reach an armistice agreement with the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, as soon as the Japanese puppet army arrives, not only will the Eighth Route Army be finished, but the 89th Division will also suffer a big loss, so Yunfei will make such a decision on his own initiative, but then again......"
Chang Kaishen said with a moving expression: "What? Naijian, you have something to say. ”
Tang Zong smiled and said: "Now that things have changed, whether or not to fulfill the promise is another matter." ”
Chang Kaishen suddenly realized and said: "Naijian, you mean that Yunfei only promised on the surface, but in fact, he didn't really want to fulfill his previous promise in his heart?" ”
"Headmaster, that's for sure." Tang Zong said with a smile, "Although my Yunfei has not been with him for a long time, I still have some understanding of his character, Yunfei is a person who knows how to be flexible but can abide by the bottom line, he can cooperate with the Eighth Route Army, but there will never be the slightest softness in the Eighth Route Army behind his back." ”
"Whoa, how can this be said to be a pit?" Chang Kaishen waved his hand and said, "This is called abiding by principles. ”
"Yes, yes, the principal is right, this is called abiding by principles." Tang Zong said, "Yunfei is a principled person. ”
While the two were talking, another staff officer from the third group hurriedly walked in and handed a telegram to Tang Zong.
Chang Kaishen asked: "Naijian, whose telegram is it, and what is it?" ”
"Headmaster, you can't imagine whose telegram this is." Tang Zong said.
"Whose telegram?" Chang Kaishen asked, "It can't be Japanese, right?" ”
"It's worthy of being the principal, and you can guess it." Tang Zong laughed, "It's the Japanese telegram." ”
"Is it really a Japanese telegram?" Chang Kaishen said proudly, "You won't be here to beg for mercy, right?" ”
Tang Zong smiled and said: "Although it is not a begging for mercy, but it is not much worse to listen to this tone, they proposed to let the nine counties in northern Henan out, but the condition is that we must blockade Fukou and not allow a grain of grain from the Eighth Route Army to enter the Taihang Mountains through Fukou!" ”
Chang Kaishen fell silent when he heard this.
After a while, he asked the attendant to call Chen Bui to the living room.
After Chen Bui read the telegram, Chang Kaishen asked, "What do you think?" ”
Chen Bui pondered for a moment and said: "Commission, this is the Japanese two tigers' strategy to compete for food, intending to use the nine counties in northern Henan as bait to provoke friction between the national army and the Eighth Route Army, this time, the Japanese army can concentrate all its efforts to give priority to the Eighth Route Army in Taiyue Mountain, and when the Japanese army solves the 386th Brigade in Taiyue Mountain, it will definitely turn its gun and deal with the national army in the First War Zone!" ”
"What Hikoji said is exactly what I want, and the Japanese can't hide this trick from us." Chang Kaishen nodded and said, "However, it is not harmful for the party state to urge the Japanese to concentrate all their efforts to give priority to the 386th Brigade in Taiyue Mountain, so it is still necessary to blockade Fukou Mountain, and the 89th Division was ordered to immediately blockade Fukou Mountain." ”
"Headmaster, no." Chen Bui hurriedly persuaded, "If your lips die, your teeth will be cold!" ”
"What kind of lips and teeth are cold, the opinion of a true scholar." The opinions of the two people were not in agreement, and Chen Bui's opinion immediately became the pedantic opinion of the scholar, and after a pause, Chang Kaishen said to Tang Zong again, "Naijian, just send a telegram to the 89th Division." ”
Tang Zong didn't say a word, just answered yes, turned around and went back to the third group to send a telegram to the 89th Division.
Chen Bui sighed lightly, and wanted to say that the Eighth Route Army transported grain from southern Hebei to the Taihang Mountains, more for the relief of the victims.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back raw, because the disaster in Henan has now become Chang Kaishen's backlash, and several staff members in the chamber have been unlucky because of this.
Chang Kaishen thought that Chen Bui was worried about the Henan battlefield.
At that moment, Chang Kaishen patted Chen Bui on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yan Ji don't worry, while the Japanese are concentrating on dealing with the 386th Brigade with all their might, I will ask the Ministry of Military Affairs to seize the time to replenish the personnel and materials of the 89th Division, and at the same time, I will also order Yunfei to step up the construction of the defense line in northern Henan." ”
"When the time comes, even if Okamura Ningji mobilizes heavy troops and then fights back to northern Henan, there is no need to worry."
"It is necessary to know that now is not the 26th year of the Republic of China, the equipment of the national army has been replaced by American weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the national army has been reborn."
After a pause, he said, "It's a big deal to have another battle in northern Henan." ”
"Sitting on the table." Chen Bui can only agree, what can he say?
Chang Kaishen suddenly said again: "Oh, there is another thing, Yan and you say hello to Enbo, and say that a group of reporters will go to northern Henan to interview Yunfei recently, and let him do a good job of safety protection." ”
"Yes." Chen Bui complimented when he heard this.
