8.91 North and South Heavens

In the war room of the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters in Tianjia Town, the staff officers are busy building a sand table, and in the end, the preparation time for this new headquarters given to him by Huang Haoran is still too short, and many details are still being perfected.

"Bao Changyi of the Madao Fortress sent another telegram, saying that they had blocked the Japanese fleet on the Yangtze River waterway. Looks like you've done a good job with your new Stronghold Commander! ”

Fan Jie walked to Huang Haoran's side with a few telegrams in his hand and said softly. His commander, Huang Haoran, was now leaning against a pillar in the corner of the room, looking at the busy officers in the room, with a thoughtful expression.

"Bao Changyi said that he blocked the Japanese fleet on the Yangtze River...? Is this considered to be guarding the horse wall? Warships don't have long legs! Sooner or later, the Japanese will have to climb ashore ... Tell Bao Changyi and Zhang Guangfu to keep an eye on the two landing sites of Xiangkou and Hukou. Especially Xiangkou, from where ninety percent of the Hakuda detachment will go ashore! Let the officers and soldiers of the 16th Army cheer up the spirit of twelve! Their military seat is still in the prison of the Military Commission......! ”

Huang Haoran still maintained the posture and movements just now when he spoke, as if he was talking to himself. Although Fan Jie did not know why Huang Haoran would conclude that the Japanese wanted to go ashore in Xiangkou, he did not raise any questions. Over the years, the old subordinates around Huang Haoran have long been accustomed to his "knowing things like gods", and if Huang Haoran's judgment is wrong one day, they will feel very strange.

The cult of personality is often always based on blind trust, and today's 25th Group Army has become an out-and-out "Huang Family Army", which has been deeply imprinted by Huang Haoran!

Of course, it is now necessary to exclude the old units of the 27th and 8th armies, which had just been taken over from the Military Commission. However, it will not take too long for these troops to become a member of the "Huang Family Army".

After all, Huang Haoran is now the master of these people's rice squads, and all the troops in the combat sequence of the 25th Group Army will receive a very generous "internal allowance" provided by Huang Haoran in addition to the meager "national disaster salary" issued by the Military Commission.

"Internal allowance", as the name suggests, is money provided to "your own people", want to get money? No problem! First of all, you have to be "your own person".

With vivid examples of Wu Jianping, Liu Zhaomu, and Cao Fulin in front of them, the officers of the 27th and 8th armies were not stupid, and they would soon find that they would get much more benefits from falling to Huang Haoran than from their loyalty to their old masters, and then throw themselves into Huang Haoran's small group without hesitation.

If there are still stubborn guys who refuse to express their allegiance to Huang Haoran, then these "residues" will only disappear in the monstrous waves of the Battle of Wuhan, and who will refuse the "vote for name" picked up in vain? Fan Jie believes that someone will definitely take the initiative to stand up and do this kind of "cleaning up the garbage" for Huang Haoran.

"Yes! Total seat! I'll call back the horse side right away! Let them strengthen the vigilance in the Xiangkou and Hukou areas! ”

When Fan Jie replied, a busy major staff officer in the middle of the sand table accidentally stepped on a sand dune under his feet when he turned around, and then looked at the place where it collapsed, it actually happened to be the forefront of the defense of the 5th theater of the northern front battlefield of the Wuhan Battle - Dabie Mountain.

That's a bit unlucky! Huang Haoran couldn't help but shook his head gently.

"How's the situation going over there in the 5th theater? The 2nd Army of Minoru Higashikuremiya should also be dispatched, I don't know if Bai Jiansheng can make some new ideas on the northern front......"

"The 2nd Army is still nesting in Hefei and not moving, it seems that the old devil Minoru Higashikurenomiya has not made up his mind from which direction to attack Wuhan, compared to Okamura Ningji, who served as a fierce general for a feint, Minoru Higashikunomiya is really a little lacking in sharpness......"

Fan Jie's judgment represents the inner thoughts of the vast majority of Chinese generals, in their opinion, the main defensive direction of the Battle of Wuhan should be the Dabie Mountain on the northern front, half a year ago in the defense of Nanjing, the Japanese army abandoned the Yangtze River and detoured to the north of the mountains, if it were not for Huang Haoran's insight into the Japanese army's plan, Nanjing may not even be able to hold out for 10 days!

According to the common sense that the Japanese do not turn around, it is very reasonable for the Japanese army to repeat its old tricks in the Wuhan area, which is close to the terrain of Nanjing, and even the Wuhan Military Commission believes that the main direction of the Japanese army's attack will be the mountains of the northern front. That's why the highest authorities put Chen Cixiu in the 9th War Zone in the south to "gild", but they threw the "hot potato" of the northern front to "Little Zhuge Bai Jiansheng".

But Huang Haoran doesn't think so, there is no shortage of bold and careful adventurers in the Japanese army base camp, and the current commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Ninji, is one of the best.

At first glance, the terrain of Nanjing and Wuhan is similar, but when you think about it, you can see that there is a big difference.

The southern foot of Dabie Mountain on the northern front was under the attack of the defenders on the north bank of the Yangtze River and the defenders at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, and the road was narrow, making it difficult for the Japanese army to deploy. At the northern foot of the Gandabie Mountain, due to the excavation of the Yellow River by the highest authorities, the Huai River has flooded, and both sides of the river have become a country. From the south of the Huai River to the southern foot of the Dabie Mountain, the mountain pass is full of difficulties, and it is by no means an ideal place for the Japanese mechanized troops to attack on a large scale.

In such a geographical environment, it would be difficult for Central China to make rapid progress even if the commander of the Central China Army, General Shunroku Hata, assigned a few more army divisions to the commander of the 2nd Army, Lieutenant General Minoru Higashikuremiya. I believe that the Ministry of War and the base camp in Tokyo have long been aware of this.

On the other hand, on the periphery of Wuhan along the river on the southern front, although the Chinese army here has strong barriers such as fortresses and national defense positions as support, due to the need to defend the water system in the area, the Chinese army in the 9th theater must carry out cross-river operations. It was precisely because he saw this that Zhang Fakui, the commander of the 2nd Corps, asked Jiang Baili to ask Huang Haoran for advice!

I really didn't expect that the strategic vision of the members of the Central Military Commission could not catch up with Zhang Fakui, a general who was born in the civil war, which cannot but be said to be a kind of irony!

Fortunately, due to Huang Haoran's birth, the Wuhan government has added the 25th Group Army, a huge and powerful army, out of thin air, and the river defense system along the Wuhan River has also become the Wuhan Garrison Command, which has greater power. With Huang Haoran's help, Chen Cixiu's appointment as commander of the 9th Theater of Operations will become a "gilded journey" for 800 people. The Wuhan government also got a lot of time to mobilize the armies of the north and the south, so that it would not be embarrassed to deal with the battle.

Thinking that his bloody struggle on the front line would keep the throne of a bunch of "mediocre officials" in the Wuhan government, Huang Haoran couldn't help but shook his head gently.

Fan Jie sensed that Huang Haoran was a little distracted, so he reminded softly: "Commander... The Japanese 2nd Army on the Northern Front ......"

"Oh... Yes, it should be Zhang Gufeng's incident that affected the plans of the 2nd Army, and the action was a little behind the 11th Army on the Southern Front. That's a good thing for us......"

After Huang Haoran came back to his senses and answered Fan Jie's question, he added another order: "Send a telegram to Zhang Fakui in Jiujiang, and ask him to send two divisions to move to Madao, and the time on the battlefield must be exchanged for human lives!" ”

Fan Jie answered "yes" and immediately turned around and left the war room. (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.) )
