Chapter 660: Yang Mou
"Didi...... Tick Tick ......"
The rapid and intensive sound of tapping the electric keys kept resounding in the combat hall of the headquarters of the 23rd Army in Guangzhou, and the staff officers who came and went in the hall had serious faces and hurried actions, and this scene was completely reversed from the relaxed freehand of a few days ago. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The commander of the 23rd Army, Lieutenant General Imamura, stood in front of a huge 100,000-to-1 military map and was silent, he had been staring at the map in this posture for several hours, and no one knew that his heart was already occupied by all kinds of emotions such as horror, panic, and unwillingness.
To be honest, Imamura was surprised by the sudden attack of the Third Army. The Third Army has entered a stage of recuperation since it experienced a major battle with the Japanese army in Shanghai last year, and apart from some small-scale low-intensity battles with the Japanese army from time to time, there has never been a battle exceeding the scale of the division level or above, and the sudden battle that broke out yesterday not only surprised Imamura, but also disrupted the Japanese Government's plans and deployments. and even drove them out of Fujian.
Imamura Jun, who received the order from the base camp, could only shake his head and smile bitterly, because judging from the information he had just received, this time the Third Army was not a small fight, according to the information sent by the front-line troops, they only detected the known troop number of the Third Army, which had five infantry divisions, an armored division and an air force division with a total of more than 100,000 troops, God knows what Su Jin's guy left. Although the Japanese army did not break out into large-scale battles with the Third Army for more than a year, the reconnaissance and infiltration of the Third Army never stopped, and although no major progress was made under the severe attack of the Third Army's military intelligence, the information on the total strength of the Third Army and the number of the newly established unit was still obtained.
According to intelligence, the current Third Army is a heavy army group with more than 300,000 elites, and if Su Jin really has the heart to send out these more than 300,000 people, I am afraid that the more than 100,000 troops of the 23rd Army alone will not be able to defeat others. Although this conclusion is depressing and no one will admit it, it is an open secret that everyone knows but will not tell.
Thinking of this, Imamura Jun sighed secretly in his heart, the 23rd Army is really full of disasters and difficulties, it was only a year after a year of peace, and he never thought that a year had passed, and he almost turned white when he thought of the position of the main force of the 23rd Army now.
"Alas...... Wait, if the offensive of the Third Army is still so fierce, then the plan that the base camp has confessed may have to be postponed. Imamura closed his eyes helplessly.
Unlike the dull and depressing atmosphere in the headquarters of the 23rd Army, the headquarters of the Third Group Army in Hangzhou was full of jubilation, and as all kinds of good news from the front line continued to come, the slightly bolder staff officers in the combat hall even dared to hum a song quietly when they walked.
Su Jin and Zhou Yusheng no longer sat in the office, but sat in the battle hall while listening to various reports from the staff officers while watching the sand table.
"Report...... The 3rd Guard Division called and said that they had completely occupied Fuzhou at 9:38 a.m. this morning, and in addition to capturing the commander of the 261st Wing, Konoe Sato, they had also captured the flag of the 261st Wing. ”
"Report...... Sun Liren and Huang Baitao respectively called that the 350th Division and the 351st Division had launched an attack on Nanping, Ninghua, and Sanming respectively this morning, and the Japanese resistance was weak, and it was expected that the battle would end tomorrow evening! ”
"Report to the sir, the 1st Guard Division and the 2nd Guard Division have advanced along Mawei towards Quanzhou, and only encountered small-scale resistance along the way, and it is expected to reach Putian the day after tomorrow!"
As the good news came, the joy on the faces of the staff officers became even stronger, but the faces of Su Jin and Zhou Yusheng, who were sitting in the hall, were not as happy as they were, but showed puzzled looks.
Su Jin held his left hand on his cheek, and held a pencil in his right hand and turned it unintentionally, his face showed a puzzled look, and after a long time, he shook his head lightly and said: "Chi Yu, this is not right, when did the Japanese fight so much, the battle has only been going on for less than a day, and the Japanese army has almost retreated all the way and lost their armor, looking at this posture does not look like the style of the Japanese." ”
Zhou Yusheng also nodded slowly: "That's true, the Japanese resistance shouldn't be so fragile, either the Japanese have some conspiracy, or the Japanese are preparing to make some big moves, otherwise how could the Japanese army in Fujian be so inexorably fighting." ”
As a senior commander, you must always keep a cool head, and you must not be proud of a momentary victory, nor can you lose confidence because of one or two defeats. Now Su Jin and Zhou Yusheng saw that something was wrong at the same time.
Su Jin recruited a staff officer: "You immediately call Lu Jian from the Military Intelligence Bureau to ......"
"Report!"
Before Su Jin's words were finished, a voice rang out at the door, "Report to Chief Su, Lu Jian of the Military Intelligence Bureau has something to ask to see!" ”
"Yo, I really said that Cao Cao Cao is here!" Su Jin and Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but smile at each other, and waved their hands: "Okay, let him in." ”
Soon, Lu Jian, who was dressed in gray army clothes and wore the rank of colonel, strode in, saluted Su Jin, and then took out a document from the leather bag on his waist and handed it to Su Jin with both hands.
Su Jin took the document and took a quick look, then there was a strange look on his face, and he handed the document to Zhou Yusheng on the side, Zhou Yusheng took the document and read it, and then glanced at Su Jin, and then suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder I said why the Japanese can't help but fight, the feeling is that the Japanese have transferred their main force to Guangdong and are ready to attack Hong Kong." ”
Su Jin was also embarrassed, in the history of another time and space, the Japanese also attacked Hong Kong during this time, but they forgot about it, which is simply an unforgivable sin for a traveler, or only after reading the information sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau, it is simply a loss of the face of the traveler.
After seeing this telegram, a memory that had originally precipitated in Su Jin's mind immediately surfaced.
The British have maintained a close partnership with the Japanese since the second half of the last century. In the past 100 years, in order to curry favor with the Japanese, the British betrayed the interests of China more than a dozen times. This situation continued until July 25, 1927, when Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka presented to Emperor Hirohito about the Asian and the world of government was revealed by the Japanese Red Party, and the British became wary of Japan.
However, although the ambitions of the Japanese were growing, the prestige maintained by the British for more than 200 years until the outbreak of World War II was still intimidating Japan, because even after the outbreak of Japan's war of aggression against China, Japan coveted Hong Kong, which China leased to Britain in 1897, and did not dare to take action against Hong Kong before the outbreak of the Pacific War.
Now the world has changed, and the immortal golden body of the British has been broken by the Germans. The Japanese, who have now fallen into a frenzy, dare to touch even the ass of the Americans, and the British, who have already been beaten all over the body by the Germans, are nothing!
It was only then that Su Jin figured out why his troops' attack on Fujian went so smoothly, and the feeling was that the Japanese had already transferred most of their troops to the vicinity of Guangzhou to prepare to attack Hong Kong.
"Sir...... Sir......"
Zhou Yusheng's voice sounded in his ears, Su Jin slowly came back to his senses, he raised his head and found that Zhou Yusheng and Lu Jian were looking at him with some surprise.
Coughing lightly twice, Su Jin nodded to Lu Jian and said, "Director Lu, your intelligence is very timely, if it weren't for this information, Chief of Staff and I would still be confused, I think I should give you a credit!" ”
"This is a matter within the office, and I don't dare to praise the chief!" Lu Jian said solemnly.
Su Jin waved his big hand: "Eh...... Meritorious service will be rewarded and punished, this is the iron discipline in the army, so don't feel embarrassed, I must ask for credit for you after this battle! So, go down first. ”
Although Lu Jian had a calm personality and could even be said to be a little wooden, he couldn't help but feel good after being praised by Su Jin, and after saluting Su Jin, he went down.
After Lu Jian went down, Su Jin smiled bitterly at Zhou Yusheng: "Chi Yu, it seems that the plan is going to change this time, and we can't take Fujian so quickly!" ”
Zhou Yusheng deserved to have been the chief of staff of Su Jin for several years, and he knew the meaning of elegance when he heard the string song, and he immediately understood after hearing Su Jin's words.
"Sir, are you afraid that if we continue to attack, the Japanese will be annoyed, so you will stop attacking Hong Kong and transfer the troops that originally planned to attack Hong Kong to deal with us, is that so?"
"It's worthy of my chief of staff, you'll understand as soon as I say it." Su Jin laughed, "I mean, since the Japanese want to attack Hong Kong, then we naturally can't disturb their good deeds." As the old saying goes, a gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and since the Japanese want Hong Kong, let them want it. ”
"Hiss......"
Zhou Yusheng gasped, and said in surprise for a long time: "Sir, do you mean to give an order for the troops to stop attacking and do nothing, so that the Japanese can rest assured and boldly occupy Hong Kong?" ”
"Of course!" Su Jin said as a matter of course: "It's rare to have this opportunity to watch the Japanese and the British pinch each other, why should I stop it." Didn't the British treat the Japanese as godsons before? Now that my son is going to beat him, I want to see what the British are doing. ”
"Tut-tut......"
Zhou Yusheng looked at his boss with admiration, and muttered after a long time: "Sir, I know why you can be the commander, and I can only be a staff officer, and my feelings are that my heart is not black enough!" ”
"Fuck off, you dare to make a joke about the chief!" Su Jin scolded with a smile and then said: "Chi Yu, since our Huaxia was ruined by the Manchu Qing court, we haven't slowed down. The warlords and the people were not able to make a living, and at that time, the British bullied us, and it was okay, who let us not fight ourselves. But the most annoying thing is that the British not only bullied themselves and bullied us, but also helped the Japanese to bully us. Aren't the British the most gentlemanly, and this time I'll see if they can get up under the bayonets of the Japanese......"
That's what Su Jin said, and that's what he did at the same time. An hour later, a telegram with similar content appeared in front of the division commander, who was leading his troops to advance bravely on all fronts.
"What? Let's stop moving forward? Is this really what Chief Su meant? Next to a Willis jeep, Huang Jianguo, chief of staff of the 350th Division, listened to Sun Liren's orders and could hardly believe his ears.
"You heard it right, this is indeed Chief Su's latest order!" In the back seat of the jeep, Sun Liren reclined on the seat, holding a cigarette between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, holding a telegram in his left hand and staring into the distance and replied casually: "As for the reason, Chief Su has already made it very clear in the telegram, I think you should understand the reason why the chief did this." ”
Huang Jianguo took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Master, I understand what Chief Su meant, and intellectually speaking, Chief Su's decision is right. It's just that I can't get over this hurdle in my heart, and I see that I am about to take Nanping, but now I just stop moving forward, and I really can't stand it in my heart. ”
Sun Liren laughed, he got out of the car and patted Huang Jianguo on the shoulder and comforted: "You, you're still a little tender." How many Japanese soldiers were there in Nanping? I can pat my chest and say, the current Nanping is the meat on our chopping board, as long as we want to, we can guarantee to take it down at any time, but we rarely encounter such a good thing as the Japanese slapping the British once in eight lifetimes, so it's better to sit down and watch the play with peace of mind, what do you say? ”
Similar orders were passed on to several division commanders, some were surprised and some were angry, but no matter what these people thought in their hearts, the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty, and the superior Minglin had to obey, so the more than 100,000 troops stopped and looked at the Japanese troops who were close at hand opposite with cold eyes.
The Japanese soldiers who originally thought that they would be in danger of escaping the catastrophe were surprised one by one, and they also quickly reported the situation to the commander, Lieutenant General Imamura Jun.
After receiving the information sent from below, Imamura's face became very strange, and the new chief of staff, Major General Tadamichi Awabayashi, asked in a low voice on the side: "Your Excellency Commander, since the people of Shina have stopped advancing, should we immediately mobilize troops to help Fujian?" ”
"No need!" Imamura Jun sighed: "That Su Jin is telling us, he knows that we are going to attack Hong Kong, so he ordered the troops to stop advancing, so as to facilitate our work, if we stop attacking Hong Kong and mobilize troops to return to Fujian, I am afraid that it will not take a few hours for that person's army to attack again!" This is what the people of China call a yang scheme, right? (To be continued.) )
