Chapter Twenty-Five: The Struggle
8.25 Struggle
Japanese planes bombed Wuhan day and night, and a corner of the reception room of the supreme authorities' residence in Luojia Mountain, Wuchang, was blown up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Under the blazing white gas lamp, the highest authorities looked at the map on the stone wall, and their brows were tightly knit. Lin Wei and Liu Fei, who returned to Wuchang on another train on the same day as the highest authorities, reported to the highest authorities that most of the 1st Theater had withdrawn across the Huhe River, but the Japanese army was also approaching the Hun River, almost following with the tail; The Chinese army is still not out of danger. If the 1st Theater of Operations cannot secure the Pinghan Railway, the 5th Theater will lose ground and the prospects will be unimaginable!
The seriousness of the problem also lies in the fact that the battle of Lanfeng is still in the midst of anxiety at the moment, and once it drags on for a long time, it is very likely that the 1st War Zone will be unable to protect itself! The Japanese army is not small! Now that the elites of several Central Army are still being blocked from fighting with the Tufeiyuan Division in the Eastern Henan Battlefield, what else can the highest authorities use to reinforce the 5th Theater......
Is that the only move left?
The supreme authority sighed deeply, looked at the thin line on the map, and stood for a long time.
At the beginning of June, Wuhan, known as the "furnace", was already sweating profusely and sweltering. After a while, the highest authorities standing in front of the map were already sweating profusely! He felt that the orange silk coat he usually liked to wear was not so comfortable today, and now the highest authority was so hot all over his body that even the top of his bare head was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Wuhan must not be lost again! Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war in July last year, less than a year has passed, half of China's rivers and mountains have fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and the supreme authorities have no choice but to retreat again and again. If Wuhan loses again, the supreme authorities will have to retreat into the mountains of Sichuan. He was unwilling, and even more unconvinced, thinking about the prosperity of Jinling City like a dragon and people like flowing water, the heart of the highest authorities tightened, and two crystal tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Thinking of these past events, the mood of the highest authorities suddenly became low. He now even wonders if an all-out war against Japan was a bit hasty. However, this emotion only stayed in the body of the supreme authority for a short time, and soon the supreme authority regained its calm, isn't the battle of Lanfeng still continuing? The highest authorities believe that Huang Haoran will bring him good news!
But the cautious supreme authorities don't want him to take any risk of losing Wuhan! The highest authorities felt that it was better to prepare for the second option in advance! Make a response to the erosion of the Lanfeng war and the loss of Kaifeng!
The highest authority pressed the button on the table, and then ordered the guard officer who came in: "Please Director Lin come here immediately." ”
After a while, Lin Wei hurriedly ran into the house. The highest authorities stood up and solemnly explained to Lin Wei:
"You immediately contact Chief Cheng of the 1st Theater and ask him when the Battle of Lanfeng will end! The Japanese are already very close! Pressed for time! Let Huang Youchen be sure to take down the soil and fertilizer! That's right! And also! By the way, see if they have any way to defend Zhengzhou after the loss of Lanfeng. ”
Lin Wei felt that he couldn't keep up with the jumping thinking of the best authorities! This side just mentioned that it must take the battle of Lanfeng, and that side began to think about how to defend Zhengzhou after Lanfeng was lost! These two requests are literally like coming out of the mouths of two people! But Lin Wei heard it very clearly just now, all the words were said by the highest authority alone!
"Yes! I'll do it! ”
Lin Wei decided to do his duty, since it was an order from the highest authority, just carry it out!
Kaifeng Daxiangguo Temple. Cheng Qian went out again tonight and didn't return. In the past two days, he rarely stayed in Daxiangguo Temple, maybe he didn't want to stay here at all, before Huang Haoran took over the Battle of Lanfeng, Cheng Qian had always been in such a state! The staff officers of the Chief's Department all thought that Cheng Qian was expressing his dissatisfaction with the highest authorities, where could they have imagined that in fact, Cheng Qian just had nothing to do!
Whether it is Xue Yue before or Huang Haoran now, they are all candidates that Cheng Qian absolutely trusts, and the way of using troops for these two people is also above Cheng Qian! Let them display their skills without pressure is the most important thing for Cheng Qian to do now!
In fact, Cheng Qian did exactly that!
The elite soldiers of the 1st theater were all thrown to the banks of the Yellow River, and the eyes of the Japanese were also attracted to Lanfeng! As the Battle of Lanfeng gradually entered its climax, the other battlefields in the 1st War Zone gradually cooled down! It seems that the Japanese no longer have the strength to launch two large-scale operations at the same time!
Both China and Japan are now thinking about the same thing, that is, other plans will have to wait until the end of the Lanfeng Exhibition!
In this way, Cheng Qian got a precious rest!
Since Cheng Qian could not be found, Cheng Qian's chief of staff could only speak to Lin Wei instead of Cheng Qian. What Lin Wei didn't expect was that this chief of staff was actually full of ideas! When Lin Wei asked if he had a good plan to resist the enemy's westward advance and defend Zhengzhou, he actually said loudly:
"Yes! It's up to you to see if you have the guts to put the dragon." ”
Cheng Qian's chief of staff, Xuan Xuan, sold a pass, but it made Lin Wei's heart beat wildly, and he hurriedly asked; "Dude, what kind of 'dragon' to put on, you say quickly, don't go around in circles."
"Of course, it's to put 'Yellow Dragon'! What else could it be? Once the Japanese take Kaifeng, they will definitely make a detour to Zhengzhou, and then arrive at the front line of Zhongmu, Weishi, and Taikang. Regardless of whether Lan Feng won or lost this battle, there was no strength left to fight the Japanese army again after the 1st War Zone was fought! Fortunately, it is currently a flood season, and the river is full, as long as the Yellow River water can be released, it will definitely be able to block the Japanese, and by the way, it can also rush some prominent little devils into the Huai River. ”
Lin Wei was dumbfounded when he heard Cheng Qian's chief of staff say this. It's water release again! Even the highest authorities scratch their heads when they mention this! Who would dare to be the Lord of this? But in order to give an explanation to the highest authorities, Lin Wei could only stubbornly continue to ask: "Do you know this idea, Chief Cheng?" ”
"Chief Cheng doesn't know, I dare to tell you this!? Now that the Japanese have also set their sights on the Yellow River, if they do it first, it will not be the little devils who feed the fish, but us! If the little devils are more daring, our elites in Lanfeng will have to go into the water! ”
Lin Wei saw that the matter was very important, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only hastily say on the phone that he would pass this opinion to the highest authority, and then hung up the phone.
After listening to Lin Wei's report, the eyes of the highest authorities were as if they were going to eat people! In the past few days, there have been reports of requests to dig embankments and release water to the top authorities! However, the highest authorities did not read it, but pressed these reports on the table! In the eyes of the highest authorities, these reports are simply hot pieces of red iron, and he does not dare to touch them!
If it was a battle order to be signed by him, the highest authorities would probably not hesitate to sign his name. Fighting, you can win or lose, even the saints dare not guarantee that they will win the battle. But now it is necessary to dig an embankment to release water, and things are not so simple!
Once the dragon of the Yellow River is released, who will be able to contain it? At that time, the living will not be able to spare you, the dead souls will not let you go, and history will eventually record a black account for you. This determination is hard to make!
At this time, the highest authorities even resented these generals in their hands. On weekdays, these arrogant soldiers can't control them one by one, and they come everywhere, who has consulted him in advance of doing bad things? But now it's all safe! A posture that doesn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool without an order! It is necessary for the highest authorities to issue a formal order before they dare to "release the water", isn't this a clear intention to let the highest authorities be the sinner of the ages?
The more the supreme authorities thought about it, the more angry he became, and he scolded hatefully; "Niang Xipi, when it comes to the critical moment, they all shrink back, a group of slippery heads with no sense of responsibility."
Looking at the piles of papers on the table, the highest authorities were distraught and frighteningly angry.
I thought that when Cheng Qiandu led the 6th Army, it made it difficult for the highest authorities to sleep and eat, and it took several years to consume all the soldiers and generals under Cheng Qian. Now Cheng Qian seems to have lost his fire, knowing that the Japanese may also have the idea of fighting the Yellow River, he released water and flooded more than 100,000 elites in the 1st War Zone. But Cheng Qian just didn't say a word! Originally
You also know that sinners in this history are not easy to be! It's really an out-and-out slippery head, seeking self-protection when disaster strikes, and this scolded role is pushed to others to play!
The highest authorities feel that in comparison, He Jingzhi, who helped him carry a lot of black pots, is much cuter!
At present, all the cards that can be played in the hands of the highest authorities have been played, and the troops that can be used are basically used. The battle of Wuhan, dialing and pulling, did not depend on the more than 50 divisions and 600,000 people who retreated from Xuzhou. But at present, the morale of this army is low, and the incompleteness makes him even more anxious. The number of some divisions is not more than 1,000 troops, and it is not as good as a regiment. If such a unit is not retrained and replenished, it will collapse as soon as it enters the battlefield, and the lesson of the Battle of Nanjing is too deep. It can be rested, replenished, and takes time.
Time, the highest authorities need time too much. It takes time to deploy the Wuhan battle, it takes time to train the army, it takes time for the central organs to evacuate to Sichuan, and it takes time for factories and schools to relocate......
At this time, the supreme authority suddenly felt that the power he had been pursuing for so many years was not all tempting sweet fruit.
Let's think about the matter of "releasing water"!
After struggling for a long time, the highest authorities still did not make up their minds. The highest authority waved his hand at Lin Wei and motioned for Lin Wei to retreat first. At this time, the air defense siren suddenly sounded again in the bomb shelter, and the Japanese planes came again!
Damn little Japan, it's so aggressive! The highest authority slowly closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, and then said to Lin Wei, who had already walked to the door: "Tell He Jingzhi and let him arrange some people to go out to inspect tomorrow to cheer up the people!" Our army is already inferior to the Japanese! The hearts of the people cannot be lost again!
