Chapter 5: The 24-Hour Period
8.5 24-hour period
"Is it ...... change of generals?"
Lin Wei was secretly happy when he saw that the highest authorities wanted Huang Haoran to take over the Battle of Lanfeng. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info but on the surface, he still pretended to be selfless, and even pretended to remind a few words on the side.
"This change of commander is a taboo for soldiers! I hope to think twice......"
The supreme authorities did not react to Lin Wei's words, because the supreme authorities already sensed that Lin Wei's words were not finished. If nothing else, the next few sentences will take a big turn.
This silence of less than a second made Lin Wei feel a little nervous. However, Lin Wei decided to continue to talk hard, because he knew that if he stopped here, the words he just said for Huang Haoran would be even more abrupt, and the highest authorities would feel even more unhappy.
"Commission, there is another thing that is more tricky than the matter of changing generals, now that Longhai Road has been cut off by the Tufeiyuan Division, and the 42 special trains trapped near Shangqiu, what should I ......do?"
Lin Wei's words reminded the highest authorities that some time ago, due to the transfer of the elite of the Central Army such as the 74th Army, the transportation plan of a large number of military materials was postponed. Originally, the Military Commission planned to free up the transportation capacity to transport this batch of materials after transporting several armies of the Central Army, but it did not expect that it would suddenly kill such a "Cheng Biting Gold" as Kenji Tufeiyuan, and after the Longhai Line was cut off by the Tufeiyuan Division, 42 special trains full of military supplies were trapped near Shangqiu. By now, the Wuhan government has already paid almost all the money. With such a huge amount of military supplies, the highest authorities cannot afford to lose them in any case!
The entry point that Lin Wei found this time was very good, and it just hit the weakness of the highest authorities. At present, the difficulties encountered by the 1st Theater are not enough to overturn the entire battle situation of the "Battle of Lanfeng", and the conditions for Xue Yue to annihilate the Tufeiyuan Division have not been lost, and it is still unknown whether Xue Yue can take the 14th Division. Xue Yue still has enough time to regain his disadvantage! If only the battle of Lanfeng was considered, the supreme authorities would not have made the decision to replace the former enemy's commander-in-chief.
But if you take into account these military columns trapped in Shangqiu, the situation will be different! According to Xue Yue's current rate of progress, even if the 14th Division can encircle Tufeiyuan again, it may not have enough time to open up the Longhai Line and let the Military Commission withdraw these special trains! The supreme authorities, who were attracted by the 42 columns full of military supplies, began to feel that Xue Yue's movements were a little too slow!
"If Xue Yue really can't take the Tufeiyuan Division in a short period of time and restore the traffic of the Longhai Line, it is imperative to change the generals! ... The Japanese army in Xuzhou had already begun to advance westward, and the 42 special trains trapped near Shangqiu had to be quickly withdrawn to Zhengzhou! Telegraphed to Chief Cheng and Xue Boling that the Longhai Line must be opened within 24 hours! Otherwise, I'll let Huang Youchen replace him! ”
"Yes! Commission! I'll draw up a telegram right away! And I'll send it to you to see ......."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Wei hurriedly found an excuse to turn around and retreat, and the highest authority looked at Lin Wei's back with a cold gaze!
A Qian Dajun walked and a Lin Wei came, and the atmosphere in the attendant room was still the same! The highest authorities are somewhat disappointed by this......
*************************************************
Cheng Qian, who was in Kaifeng, learned from a call from his chief of staff that "the highest authorities are going to Kaifeng," and immediately realized that at least half of the highest authorities' move was directed at him Cheng Qian.
For the words of the highest authorities accusing the 1st War Zone, Cheng Qian felt very aggrieved! The reason why Lanfeng's battle situation has become the current situation is not because the highest authorities brought a straw bag general Gui Yongqing!
Now Xue Yue is struggling to support on the front line, hoping to change back to the declining situation, if the highest authorities fly to Kaifeng at this time, they will definitely have to meddle in the front-line command and rearrange tactics! Where does this help? It's just a mess!
Besides, now the sky in Kaifeng is occupied by Japanese planes, and the bombs don't have long eyes! In case the highest authority has three longs and two shorts in Kaifeng, then the matter will be a big problem! Cheng Qian and Xue Yue have not become the targets of the Chinese people's attacks?
It is precisely because he knows the highest authorities too well that Cheng Qian has made up his mind that he must not let the highest authorities open the seal! He hurriedly asked the director of the confidential office to send a telegram to Zhengzhou, saying that Tu Feiyuan was just a clown, and it was not worth the highest authorities to go into battle in person! The 1st Theater of Operations is bound to annihilate the Tufeiyuan Division, so please rest assured that the highest authorities will be assured.
Not long after this reply was sent, Cheng Qian received an order from the highest authorities that the 1st War Zone must open the Longhai Line within 24 hours! Looking at the harsh words in the telegram, Cheng Qian seemed to see the angry face of the highest authority! It seems that the highest authorities can no longer tolerate the slow progress of the 1st theater of operations, and they can't help but jump out and point fingers.
"Sit, sit! When will you be able to employ people without doubt? ”
Cheng Qian did not forward this telegram to Xue Yue, he did not want Xue Yue to be distracted. Cheng Qian didn't have any opinions on the supreme authorities' plan to use Huang Haoran, after all, Huang Haoran was a victorious general on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and he was also the trusted deputy commander of the 1st Theater of Operations, Xue Yue's boss, Xue Yue's ineffective combat and Huang Haoran took over the Battle of Lanfeng It was really a matter of course. Cheng Qian was mainly worried that Xue Yue, the "Guangdong tiger boy", would resign angrily after reading the telegram!
Besides, 24 hours to open up the Longhai line, such a task is too tricky! Now the Tufeiyuan Division has occupied Lanfeng City and established defensive horns. In 24 hours, it will be difficult for Theater 1 to make any big progress! If Xue Yue saw this request of the highest authority, he would definitely think that the highest authority was creating a reason for Huang Haoran to take over the Battle of Lanfeng!
Now that the war has not yet been decided, the highest authorities have already saved their minds about changing generals, which is definitely a contempt for him in Xue Yue's opinion! The arrogant Xue Yue definitely couldn't accept it.
After thinking about it, Cheng Qian could only decide to delay it first! In his second reply to the highest authorities, he stressed the difficulty of opening up the Longhai line within the time limit, and hoped that the highest authorities would give Xue Yue and the 1st War Zone a little more time!
The highest authorities said that he was going to Kaifeng, but in fact it was just an angry remark. In the past few days, Li Pinxian, Chief Li, and Minister He have repeatedly telegraphed and reported that in addition to the Japanese army in North China being eager to take the Longhai Line and attack Wuhan, the Central China Front Army in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is also frequently deployed, and it is very likely that it will attack Wuhan along the Yangtze River Valley! I hope that the highest authorities can return to Wuhan as soon as possible! Now seeing that there was little hope for the 1st Theater to annihilate the Tufeiyuan Division, Cheng Qian handed himself another step, so the highest authorities decided to get off the donkey and leave Zhengzhou to return to Wuhan.
Before leaving, the highest authorities once again emphasized to Cheng Qian that the Longhai Line must be opened within a limited period! And let Lin Wei call Huang Haoran, so that Huang Haoran is ready to take over the command of the Battle of Lanfeng! The highest authority said to Huang Haoran in a telegram: "The Chinese army in the Lanfeng area is ten times larger than the Japanese army, and as long as we dare to attack boldly, we will definitely be able to wipe out the Tufeiyuan Division!" Only a big sacrifice can be exchanged for a big result!
