Chapter 407: The Yellow River Embankment
Zhong Yi was immediately furious, Li Chenglong actually attacked his idea of the special operations team.
At that moment, Zhong Yi was furious and said: "Stationmaster Li, don't be delusional about the special operations team. ”
"So this unit is called the Special Operations Brigade?" Li Chenglong said with a smile, "Brother Ziren, you see that your 367th Regiment has no combat missions now, such an elite unit is also idle, why can't we transfer them to our military command and let them play a greater role in the intelligence battlefield?" ”
Dai Li's help said: "Ziren, the situation on the intelligence battlefield is indeed very grim now, I won't hide it from you, the agents trained by the special high class of the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs are very skilled, although the personnel of our operations department are from the army, all of them are heroes who are not afraid of death, but they are still not very accustomed to the way of fighting on the intelligence front." ”
"Teacher, this is your military commander's business." Zhong Yi shook his head and said.
Seeing that Zhong Yi refused to let go, Li Chenglong could only retreat.
Li Chenglong said again: "Otherwise, it's just a temporary loan, Brother Ziren, you can temporarily lend the special operations brigade to our military command Wuhan Station, all the equipment, travel tools, and trips of the special operations brigade will be covered by us, and after the secondment period expires, these will all belong to your 367 regiment, and the allowance will be calculated at ten yuan per person per day, how about it?" ”
"That's fine." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "But don't detain people when the time comes." ”
Li Chenglong really had this idea, but as soon as Zhong Yi said it, he immediately dispelled it.
The matter was negotiated, and Li Chenglong left happily.
Dai Li shook his head and said to Zhong Yi: "Ziren, let's not hide it, because in recent months, the counter-espionage work of our military command has improved greatly, posing a great threat to the Japanese agents lurking in all walks of life in the military and government, so the Special High Division of the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs secretly sent an elite action team to infiltrate Wuhan to prepare for countermeasures!" ”
After a pause, Dai Li said again: "On the day of your first semester, Section Chief Wu of the Intelligence Section of the Wuhan Station of the Military Command was assassinated by Japanese agents on the street, and in the next half a month, several outstanding intelligence officers and operatives were assassinated in succession, and the Wuhan Station of the Military Command suffered great losses!" ”
"I see!" Zhong Yi said solemnly, "The students will fully cooperate." ”
Dai Li said happily: "I knew that Ziren would definitely take care of the overall situation." ”
Zhong Yi said again: "What about Yang Qingshan and Taihua Mountain Hall? ”
Dai Li immediately said: "This is the military commander purging military discipline!" ”
……
In the next few days, Li Chenglong really took over the matter of Taihua Mountain Hall, and also accused Yang Qingshan of betraying the country!
Zhong Yi also seconded the special operations team to the Wuhan Station of the Military Command to assist Li Chenglong in dealing with the action team sent by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs.
……
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the time came to the end of March.
The battle situation in Xuzhou began to take a sharp turn for the worse, and once again became precarious!
Due to the lack of heavy weapons for attacking fortifications, the siege of Yixian by the main force of the 5th Theater of the National Army was not smooth, and after more than half a month, it was impossible to advance an inch, and tens of thousands of casualties were lost in vain!
At the same time, the Japanese troops reinforced from Nanjing and North China were overwhelmed.
The Japanese troops on the southern front had broken through the Huai River defense line and advanced to the first line of Mengcheng and Suxian, and the Japanese troops on the northern front had advanced to the areas of Cao County, Shanxian County, and Feng County.
At this time, even laymen who no longer understand military affairs can see that the Japanese army on the north and south is about to meet west of Xuzhou, and once the two Japanese troops meet smoothly, then the main force of more than 300,000 national troops gathered in Yixian will fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army, and its destruction will also become a high probability event!
It was also at this time that when he discovered that the main force of the national army on the battlefield in Xuzhou was in danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army, Principal Chang's hot head finally calmed down.
While ordering Li Guangxi to lead his troops to break through from Dabie Mountain, President Chang summoned the staff officers of the chamber and the General Staff Headquarters to begin to deploy the next Battle of Wuhan!
However, before the general strategy for the battle of Wuhan can be determined, there is still a problem that must be resolved.
The question is, is it necessary to dig up the embankment of the Yellow River and release the flood water to delay the Japanese army?
On the question of whether or not to dig the embankment of the Yellow River, the staff officers attending the meeting had a heated debate.
"I think the Yellow River embankment should be dug up! Even if it's just a day of delaying the Japanese army, it's good! ”
"It's easy to say, did you know that once the Yellow River embankment is dug and floods down, tens of millions of people will be homeless and displaced?"
"So what? How can there be no sacrifice in war? ”
"If the army can be sacrificed, can't the people make sacrifices? What's more, it is the people in the occupied areas who are sacrificed. ”
"What happened to the people in the occupied areas? Was the fall of the occupied areas due to the fault of the people themselves? If you become a citizen in the occupied area, you will definitely betray the country and the nation? ”
"Since ancient times, there has been a scorched earth policy, and I think that I would rather flood the Huanghuai River Basin into a Ze country than give up the rich and intact Central Plains to the Japanese!"
"If you say something like this, won't your conscience hurt?"
"My conscience doesn't hurt, but you, is it really good to be kind to a woman like this?"
"Ci is not in charge of the army, in order to fight against the Japanese invaders, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it!"
Seeing that dozens of staff officers had been arguing for a long time, but still no result had been reached, Principal Chang was a little annoyed.
"Enough, don't make any noise!" Seeing that Principal Chang was a little impatient, Chen Shi immediately stopped the staff officers.
Principal Chang rubbed his slightly swollen temples, and finally looked at Bai Chongbei, and asked in a deep voice, "Jiansheng, what is your opinion?" ”
Bai Chongxi said: "Principal, the opinion of the humble position is very clear, that is, you can't dig it!" ”
Liu Sheng also said: "I also thought that I couldn't dig it, because the price of digging up the river embankment was too heavy!" ”
In the original alternate time and space, at this time, there would be a German Falkenhausen who would stand up and fight with Bai Liu and the others, but in the current time and space, no one would stand up against the two.
Seeing that the two military strategists under his command were opposed to digging the Yellow River embankment, and Jiang Baili made his attitude clear early on, and he was also resolutely opposed to digging the Yellow River embankment, that is, except for Yang Jun, who went to the Soviet Union, President Chang found that all four military strategists under his command were all opposed to digging the Yellow River embankment without exception.
At this time, Principal Chang finally made up his mind not to dig!
At that moment, Principal Chang nodded and said, "Okay, then don't dig the embankment!" ”
Seeing President Chang's decision, those staff officers who insisted on digging the river embankment didn't say anything more.
After a pause, Principal Chang said again: "Rest for a few minutes first, and then everyone will go back to the war room, and then discuss the defensive deployment of the Battle of Wuhan." ”
