Chapter 17: A Prophecy
9.17 In a word
"If Youchen knows the answer, why do you knowingly ask? Others say that it is the Yellow Flood Zone that blocks the butcher's knife stretched out by the Japanese to Wuhan, but I think that the Yellow Flood Zone completely blocked the way for our Chinese army to counterattack! The Japanese army is a modern army, and warships and planes are readily available! It's not that hard to get through the Yellow Flood Zone! On the contrary, we are really helpless! ”
In the face of the menacing Japanese, the vast majority of officials and generals in the Wuhan government were only blindly thinking about how to stop the Japanese.
If other officials or generals had heard Chief Li's remarks, I am afraid they would have been shocked! But now the person who hears Chief Li's remarks is Huang Haoran, an outlier who is even more unique than Chief Li!
Huang Haoran was not only not surprised by Chief Li's words, but praised it loudly!
"What Degong said is extremely true!! With such a large territory, if you just think about how to defend it, you are waiting to be beaten passively! I don't believe that the Japanese Army will be monolithic! From the Northeast to East China, the little devil's defense line is so long, how can there be no flaws! After the Japanese army occupied Xuzhou, it immediately invaded the west without resting, which reflected the Japanese government's strategic plan to fight a quick victory, and they attempted to sweep westward to the two major grain-producing provinces of Anhui and Henan, and at the same time master the two lines of communication between Jinpu and Pinghan, and then sweep the southwest and force our country to form an alliance under the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But they didn't expect that the 14th Division of Tufeiyuan would suffer a defeat in Lanfeng, and with the collapse of the embankment at the mouth of the Yellow River, the southeast of the Yellow River suddenly became a country, and the Japanese army's heavy ammunition suffered great losses, and its plan to advance westward along both sides of the Longhai Line has been completely crushed! At present, the Japanese army is busy rescuing several Russian divisions in the Yellow Flood Zone, and has no time to take care of the troops withdrawn to northern Jiangsu in our 5th Theater of Operations. ”
Huang Haoran's words made Chief Li excited! Today, Chief Li finally met a general who had the same idea as him!
"yes!! If the commission doesn't give the order to attack and harass the rear of the Japanese army at this time, how long will it be!? ”
After the emotions came up, Chief Li's voice also became higher! Huang Haoran noticed that when Chief Li shouted the word "commission", several attendants and medical staff standing in the distance began to quietly move towards Chief Li. You don't need to ask to imagine that these people came to the East Lake Sanatorium with a mission!
"During my stay in Huangchuan, Sun Lianzhong, Feng Zhi'an, Zhang Zizhong, Sun Zhen, Yu Xuezhong, Li Xianzhou, Pang Bingxun and other troops who had withdrawn from the 5th Theater to northern Jiangsu had all crossed the Jinpu Road one after another and deployed defenses from Anhui to eastern Henan. After the Tufeiyuan Division fell into the siege of Xue Yue, I suggested that the troops in eastern Henan should attack the rear of the Japanese army, cut off the Japanese communication line, threaten the rear of the Japanese army, and force the enemy to retreat, so as to win more time for the defense of Wuhan, but the committee always said that it would be studied and studied! To this day, there is not a clear answer! I don't think it's that the committee doesn't know the importance of counterattacking, but it's just that he is reluctant to let his Central Army go! If you miss the current fighter, wait until the Japanese rescue several of their divisions from the Yellow Flood Area.... I'm afraid that this battle in Wuhan will end like the Battle of Songhu again! Alas......! ”
The last long sigh contained too much disappointment and helplessness of Chief Li, Huang Haoran looked at the pale first-class army general in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little sad!
"If there were a few more discerning generals like Youchen in the Military Commission, maybe the War of Resistance would not be the situation it is today......
Listening to Chief Li's emotion, Huang Haoran suddenly felt that his promotion to second-class army general was not a good thing, at least in the future, when the Military Commission made a big mistake, he could have the opportunity to stand up and correct it, even if he could pull the war of resistance in the right direction a little, China could pay a lot less price!
Thinking of this, Huang Haoran's heart suddenly brightened! It's a pity that Minister He's promise is still an unfulfilled check, and Huang Haoran can't use it now, so he can't help Chief Li for the time being
"Isn't there a regular meeting of the Military Commission the Day After Tomorrow? The German Gongda can put forward a counterattack plan at the meeting, and maybe someone will respond! ”
"Response? I think they should avoid it! Now that Bai Jiansheng is far away in the 5th war zone, there is no one in the Gui family who can speak in the Military Commission. The generals of the Central Army are all marionettes under the commission, and they only bring eyes and ears to the meeting, and they don't have mouths at all! Don't expect to hear half a word of help from them! As for the other local warlords, they all have the intention of preserving their strength, and when they hear that they will send troops to fight back, they will definitely pretend to be deaf and dumb, lest they get into trouble and let their capital go to risk! I can't count on it at all! Huang Jikuan compared Wuhan to the opera garden of Shanghai, in fact, the image is very good! ”
Chief Li really overturned a boatload of people with a rod, and after saying this, Chief Li suddenly remembered that Huang Haoran was also a general of the Central Army, didn't he even scold Huang Haoran just now? Chief Li hurriedly couldn't say two sentences:
"Of course, Youchen you are not among them!"
Huang Haoran knew that Chief Li did it unintentionally, so he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only say with a depressed face that he wouldn't think much about it.
After sitting on the bench on the bank of the river and talking to Chief Li for another time, Huang Haoran got up and said goodbye to Chief Li, since he had made up his mind to eat the "Wuchang Fish" given to him by Minister He, Huang Haoran had to start preparing now!
Huang Haoran decided to go to the prison of the Military Commission to meet Huang Jie first to see if he could find some excuses to exonerate Huang Jie.
Before parting, Chief Li told Huang Haoran that he had a friend from the United States who admired Huang Haoran's achievements very much and wanted to meet Huang Haoran.
"Oh! What is this person's name? Huang Haoran asked Chief Li while taking out his business card, Huang Haoran planned to ask Chief Li to give his business card to the American friend, so that Chief Li could explain to his friend.
"His name is Joseph? Stilwell. ”
Huang Haoran's heart was shocked, for this Joseph? Stilwell, Huang Haoran knows too well! Unexpectedly, this future chief of staff of the Allied China Theater of Operations is now actually his fan!
After hiding the shock in his heart, Huang Haoran handed the business card to Chief Li's hand, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "You can ask him to call me to make an appointment, and I will find time to see him once!"
Chief Li smiled and said, "That's the best!" This Stilwell is very interesting, he still knows China well, and perhaps, in the future, the Americans will also become our help......"
Chief Li didn't expect that what he said casually would become a reality a few years later...... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
