Chapter 669: Change of Plan
Chairman Chiang also had this intention, and the supporting troops were making a detour to the two flanks of the Japanese army surrounding Luoyang, and he ordered the troops to cut off the rear route of the Japanese army if they had the opportunity to destroy all the Japanese troops in Luoyang.
But the commander of the troops who coordinated on the front line was not like this, although they had an absolute advantage in strength, but the defenders in Luoyang City insisted on fighting so much, it was already difficult to support themselves, if they did not rescue in time, I am afraid that the defenders really could not hold out for long.
However, Chairman Chiang did not care at all about the telegram sent by the front-line commander, Luoyang crisis, the first rescue should be Luoyang, not to surround the Japanese army, Luoyang is in danger, if it is delayed any longer, the Japanese army will take Luoyang City.
After learning from Dai Li's that Liao Fan had died, Chairman Jiang was in a good mood, and he got rid of a difficult opponent, although the news of Liao Fan's death has not yet spread throughout China, but paper can't contain the fire after all, and after a long time, the people will naturally know this bad news.
Since Liao Fan is dead, someone has to replace Liao Fan's position in the hearts of the people, and the best way to win the hearts of the people simply and rudely is to win a battle and let the people see hope, so Chairman Chiang ignored the situation on the battlefield and resolutely asked the troops to make a detour to the two flanks of the Japanese army.
Although the regular troops of Chongqing had been found on both flanks, the Japanese had no intention of retreating. In the consciousness of the little devils, they have been fighting with the New 33rd Army for many years, and in terms of the ratio of victory and defeat, they seem to be a weak group, but the commander of the little devils will build momentum.
In the last battle against the national army in the Nakajo Mountains, they only lost less than 1,000 people, and killed and wounded more than 100,000 national troops. As soon as the commander of the little devil took out something and told him about it in front of his soldiers, all the little devils immediately became screaming.
They have been bullied by the New 33rd Army all the time, and they can no longer want the glory of the Imperial Japanese Army in front of the New 33rd Army, but in front of the National Army, they want to get back all their glory and the humiliation they have received from the New 33rd Army.
So when the enemy army was found on both wings, the little devils did not panic, because in their eyes, the national army was still so vulnerable, they only needed to ensure that their rear roads were not cut off, and their war materials could be transported to the battlefield.
The battle in Luoyang was a matter of life and death for the Japanese army in Shanxi, so of course the little devil would not retreat so easily. Similarly, the soldiers and officers of the national army in the city have reached their limits.
The national army in Luoyang City has been besieged for so many days, and the space for movement is getting smaller and smaller, which also means that food and ammunition are getting less and less, and they can't hold out for long. The division commander defending the city sent three telegrams to his superiors, but the news was all lost.
Although they could hear the sound of hope outside the city, they held out in the city for another two days, but the sound of the cannon still seemed far away from them. Little by little, the hope that rose in the hearts of the warriors was disappearing......
Chairman Chiang still insisted on going his own way, and he sent a telegram to the troops at the front, saying that if the commanders of the front dared to disobey his orders and act on their own, they would know the consequences after they returned.
Under the coercion of Chairman Chiang, these commanders dared to act on their own, so they had no choice but to order their troops to keep making detours to both flanks, trying by all means to cut off the rear route of the Japanese army and surround the Japanese army. Although all the officers and soldiers on the front line knew that all the comrades in Luoyang City were likely to die because of this decision, they were powerless to change the status quo.
What everyone didn't understand was why Chairman Chiang did this, their initial plan was to rescue Luoyang, not to encircle the Japanese army, but now the whole combat operation has almost changed its taste.
"What's the matter, Chairman?"
After learning of the situation, Wei Lihuang asked Chen Cheng that from the operational meeting they discussed at the beginning to the final result, Chairman Chiang nodded and agreed, and now that all the troops had arrived at the battlefield, the combat plan had changed.
Chen Cheng just smiled lightly, he has been getting more and more confused about his leader and boss part-time fellow villager recently.
"I'm not a roundworm in the chairman's stomach, how do I know what the chairman thinks!" Chen Cheng complained.
Wei Lihuang doesn't think so, in his eyes, Chen Cheng knows more about Chairman Jiang than the roundworm in Chairman Jiang's stomach, and Chairman Jiang has never discussed some important confidential matters with Chen Cheng alone, and it is precisely because of this that Chairman Jiang made some wrong decisions and let Chen Cheng take the blame in order to maintain Chairman Jiang's image among the people.
However, this time, Chairman Chiang made such a big change to the battle plan and did not tell Chen Cheng a word, which is also the reason why Chen Cheng wondered.
"The leader has the leader's consideration, we are all subordinates, we should not have any doubts about the orders of the superiors, just carry it out!"
Although Chen Cheng muttered in his heart, he knew that Chairman Jiang must have a reason not to tell him, and after working together for so many years, he knew Chairman Jiang's temper best.
Wei Lihuang didn't want Chen Cheng to be so cautious, he only had an empty title now, and he didn't have any military power except for a few guards and orderlies around him, so he had no taboos against Chairman Jiang.
"If the action fails, I hope the chairman will take the initiative to take this responsibility!"
The soldiers fought bloody battles on the front line, and the generals worked day and night in the rear, and Chairman Chiang rearranged the entire battle order with a single sentence, and how the other officers and men felt comfortable except for Chairman Chiang alone.
Since it can't be changed, Wei Lihuang can only hope that Chairman Jiang will take the initiative to assume this responsibility, but find a scapegoat and shirk the responsibility for failure.
Chairman Jiang was receiving Dai Li in his study at this time, and he needed to confirm that Liao Fan was really dead, not a false shot, otherwise his feelings would be wasted.
"I have already arranged for Director Wang to inquire, although I haven't seen Liao Fan's body, but now the entire Taihang Mountain has spread!" Dai Li was confident that his men would have accomplished this difficult task.
Although Chairman Jiang is also biased in his heart that Liao Fan has died, there is always a case in the matter, in case something really goes wrong and Liao Fan is not dead, then it may be even more difficult to do something to Liao Fan again.
"Liao Fan's death is a great merit for our party-state, although you are the first to make a contribution, but you have to remember that I can't publicly commend this matter, so I wronged you!"
As the head of the secret service, Dai Li knows very well that now unless he assassinates the senior generals of the Japanese army, he can be publicly commended, and now he assassinates Liao Fan, who is supported by many people, if it is made public at this time, it will prove that they did it, and they can drown them without the help of little devils, just the saliva of the common people can drown them.
"There is no need to keep the case synthesis, the person in the know, and the people in the know about this operation! For the great cause of the party-state, they will get the glory they deserve! ”
"I understand!"
Chairman Chiang is indeed crossing the river and demolishing bridges, but this is also a part of politics, if he does not think about himself, one day in the future, the news will leak out, and he will die ugly.
"Stay here with me to eat today, and let's discuss the affairs of Henan while we have time!"
Dai Li was helpless, discussing Henan affairs with him was tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, and Chairman Jiang had never discussed these matters with him before. But he also knew why Chairman Chiang would tell him these things for the first time today.
Contrary to the battle plan made by the generals, Chairman Chiang undertook a lot of pressure, especially if he failed, the government and the opposition would criticize the chairman of the committee, especially since this matter could not be told to others, and the news that he had arranged for someone to assassinate Liao Fan after discussing this matter with others would definitely leak out.
This is precisely where Chairman Chiang is in a dilemma, he wants to be the leader of China, and he wants to make the world his own.
Dai Li did not refuse Chairman Chiang's arrangement, Madame Chiang had already gone to the United States, and now Chairman Chiang was the only one at home, leaving him to eat, at least this home would not be so cold.
The two of them discussed military affairs at the dinner table for nearly half an hour, and Chairman Chiang found that he was the only one talking, and the scene was a little embarrassing.
"Is the surname Wang in Taihang Mountain reliable?"
Wang Haoran has completely entered Chairman Jiang's field of vision, because sometimes he finds that the effect of actions in the secret is more significant than the actions on the surface. Since it was embarrassing to talk about military scenes, Chairman Chiang changed the subject.
"Reliable, he is a person we specially selected, and General Chen does not know that he belongs to our military commander."
For Wang Haoran's loyalty, Dai Li still believes in it.
"How's he's been doing lately with the things he has arranged?"
"It's already being done, but the developers are all low-level officers, and he hasn't been in contact with those high-level generals yet!" Dai Li said.
"Don't worry, let him take his time, he must be steady, he can't be discovered by those people in the New 33rd Army, they are all Liao Fan's sworn friends, don't lift a stone to shoot yourself in the foot!"
Chairman Chiang was indeed digging into the corners of the New 33rd Army, and if he wanted to control the New 33rd Army, he had to do so.
"I've already told him!"
"What about the operation on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo side?"
Now that Liao Fan has been eliminated, Chairman Jiang has only one opponent left on the land of China, and this opponent is even more difficult than Liao Fan. Whether it is now or in the future, the two of them must represent a war between the two sides.
It's just that Liao Fan suddenly came out halfway, temporarily shifting Chairman Jiang's target, since he doesn't have Liao Fan's worries, he should consider the situation over there.
"It's tricky over there......"
Compared with the New 33rd Army, he sent more personnel over there, more than ten times or even dozens of times that of Taihang Mountain, but so far they have made no progress.
