Chapter 303: Attention from all sides
"Mr. Peng, this is an encrypted telegram sent by the Reading Division, if nothing else, it should be about the specific operational plan of this anti-encirclement and suppression operation" Soon, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which was hiding in a small mountain village, received a telegram from the Reading Division. After getting the telegram, Zuo Quan, as the deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army, hurriedly came to the war room of the headquarters and whispered to Mr. Peng, who was standing next to the map.
"Chief of Staff, is it about the Jinyi base area, this anti-encirclement and suppression battle plan, let's study it together, and see how Liu Hua, this kid, plans to break the encirclement and suppression of the little devils this time and clean up these little devils." Listening to the words of Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, Mr. Peng hurriedly put on his clothes and sat down at the table with the Chief of Staff.
"Mr. Peng, Liu Hua is really going to take a group of little devils this time, and it's not a small fight, it's a big fight against the fifth division that they plan to wipe out the little devils. It was when he was in Pingxingguan that the [***] division commander ambushed the Itagaki Division of his baggage wing" After listening to General Peng's words, the chief of staff did not have any smile, but said with a calm face.
"What? It is not possible to fight the Fifth Division of the Army, and it is resolutely not possible. With the strength of the Reading Division, there are only more than 10,000 main forces at most. The Fifth Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army has nearly 20,000 troops, and it is well-equipped and well-trained. What is he Liu Hua going to fight with the little devil Fifth Division The headquarters resolutely disagrees" Listening to the words of the chief of staff, Mr. Peng opened his mouth in surprise for a while, but immediately objected.
"Mr. Peng, you can't hold your breath at any time, and we don't have the final say on whether the headquarters approves this battle plan or not. Let's not talk about this for a while, let's first study Liu Hua's combat plan. I want to see how Liu Hua dares to say such big words, and how he can rely on himself as a reading force division to eliminate a main division of the Yue Army. Seeing General Peng, who immediately spoke out against him, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan immediately comforted. At the same time, Mr. Peng, who was huffing and breathing, sat down at the table and began to translate the encrypted message in front of him.
"Okay, all the messages from Mr. Peng have been translated, so please take a look" Ten minutes later, the chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief and handed the translated telegram to Mr. Peng, who was still huffing beside him.
"Humph! I want to see what kind of ability this Liu Hua has, and dare to fight the idea of a division of the army. Don't think that if he wins two battles, his tail will rise to the sky. If he doesn't tell me a reason to come today, I'll remove him from his position as the head of the reading division. Mr. Peng took the telegram and said angrily.
However, as the messages in his hand decreased one by one. There was no longer any angry expression on Mr. Peng's face, but he slowly began to get excited. Until he finished reading the entire telegram, Mr. Peng's face was always filled with an excited smile.
"Haha, I really didn't expect that there would be such a war Liu Hua, you kid is really good, chief of staff, what I just said, don't you spread it out, especially to Liu Hua's ears, I took back all the words I just said Hehe, you look at the content of the telegram, I really didn't think of this kid, how long the brain is, such a strange tactic has been thought of by him. In addition, the Reading Force, which annihilated more than 2,000 members of the Japanese Army two days ago, was commended not only in the Reading Division, but also in the whole army. I really didn't expect that such a capable force would be only a local reading force group in his reading division, but he was really calm," Mr. Peng said excitedly, and at the same time did not forget to hand the telegram in his hand to the hand of the chief of staff who was still full of doubts beside him.
"Okay, good, great, if the whole process of the campaign can all develop according to what Liu Hua said. The Fifth Division of the Army is a piece of fat on the cutting board of the Reading Division, and he Liu Hua can cut it as much as he wants" After reading the telegram in his hand, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan also said excitedly.
"That's right, now the Fifth Division is a piece of fat in his Liu Hua's hands, and he Liu Huaxiang can eat whatever he wants. In this way, Chief of Staff, we will also study the entire battle plan in detail. On the one hand, it is to study, and on the other hand, it is also to see if there is anything that needs to be added, and then send it to the reader. After all, this is the first time that our Eighth Route Army has eliminated a division of the Yue Army, and if we want to fight, we must win," General Peng agreed.
"Okay, let's study it well, and learn from Master Liu Hua by the way." The chief of staff also nodded in agreement. In this way, the battle plan of the reading division was agreed to by General Peng and the deputy chief of staff.
Just when the two were discussing the specific battle plan reported by the Reading Division, the Military Commission in Yan'an also received an encrypted message from the Reading Division.
"Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, I have just received an encrypted telegram from the Reader, and I have not translated it without your consent." Ye Jianying took a telegram and hurriedly walked into the war room of the Military Commission. At this time, the chairman and the commander-in-chief were sitting in front of the huge map of North China, staring at the Jinyi base of the Reading Division
"Uh, Jianying. You just said that the encrypted telegram of the reading division, the boss and I are also discussing the current battle situation in the Jinyi base area, I didn't expect the army to look up to our reading division so much, and actually sent two complete elite divisions, but Liu Hua was also impatient, the battle just began, and more than a dozen planes of the Yue army were eliminated, so to speak, it was ruthless to give the little devil a big mouth" Seeing Ye Jianying, chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, who hurriedly walked in. The chairman said with a smile.
"That's right, Lao Mao, the matter slapped General Bin Sanyuan, the commander-in-chief of the North China Army, with a big mouth. I really didn't expect that this Liu Hua would be so good that he had just laid down Baoding County, which was heavily guarded by the Yue Army some time ago, and he also captured a multi-division regiment of the Yue Army and half a year's combat supplies. It can be said that with these materials, the overall combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army has really increased by a level, and now it has just begun to fight, and more than a dozen planes have been shot down by little devils. I'm serving this guy now, or Lao Mao, you were wise and knowledgeable back then, otherwise, such an excellent member of the generals would be buried" Seeing that the chairman faced such a predicament as a reader, he still talked and laughed. The boss also joked with a smile, which adjusted the oppressive atmosphere in the war room very well.
"That's right, Jianying. You just said the encrypted telegram of the reader? After joking, the chairman quickly fixed his eyes on a thick telegram in the chief of staff's hand.
"Chairman, I thought you weren't in a hurry? I just received an encrypted telegram from the reader, and I haven't translated it without the approval of you and the boss? Ye Jianying waved the telegram in his hand and said with a smile.
"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and translate it, now the two main divisions of the army have gone deep into the Jinyi base area. At this time, Liu Hua sent an encrypted message, either a good thing or something big happened Hurry up, the chairman and I are waiting here? After listening to the words of the chief of staff, the boss also stood up from his seat and said anxiously.
"Yes, chairman, boss, I'll start translating" saw the anxious chairman and boss. Ye Jianying, chief of staff, did not dare to slack off, quickly sat down at the table, took out the code book, and began to translate.
And the chairman and the boss who were waiting next to Ye Jianying were not idle, almost the chief of staff translated one, and they looked at one. Finally, ten minutes passed, and a message of nearly 1,000 words was finally translated.
"Oh my mother! Chairman, Liu Hua wants to completely annihilate the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army, and this is the battle plan he reported. I said, is Liu Hua carried away by the victory a few days ago? His reading division, plus all the local troops, had only about 20,000 troops. The Fifth Division of the Army is a well-equipped and well-trained field division," the boss said in disbelief with the telegram in his hand.
"What, he wants to use his reading power division to eat the fifth division of the Yue Army, you read it right!" After listening to the words of the commander-in-chief, even the chairman, who trusted Liu Hua, said in disbelief.
"Lao Mao, how could I joke with you about this kind of thing? You see, this is clearly written on his telegram, and the battle plan has been sent to us. The boss smiled bitterly and said speechlessly. At the same time, he handed a telegram in his hand to the chairman.
"I want to see how Liu Hua relied on one of his reading divisions this time to eliminate an elite field division of the Yue Army." The chairman took the telegram from the boss's hand with a snort and began to read it.
At this time, the chairman's mind can be said to be very complicated. You must know that this favorite of your own will was picked up by yourself. Since I brought it up, I've hardly fought a losing battle. What's more, he also fought battles that many people felt unexpected, which can be said to have raised his face very well, and he was proud of him more than once. And such a general, today he proposed such a thing that almost people dare not believe, is he really sure?
The chairman began to read the message from the reader in his hand. However, at the very beginning of the message, he was shocked by the set of data in front of him.
"The Reading Group of the First Division of our Reading Division started on the afternoon of the 12th, relying on the favorable terrain of Gong Village. With the strength of one battalion, block the fifth division of the Japanese army. After two hours of blocking, he took the initiative to withdraw from his position and let the troops of a reinforced brigade enter Gongcun. Then, about two battalions of troops were gathered, and the Yue army fought street battles in Gongcun, almost completely annihilating the Yue army to strengthen the brigade. Then, because of the arrival of reinforcements from the army, he took the initiative to withdraw from Gongcun. But I did not abandon the blow to the enemy because of this. In the middle of the night, Comrade Xie Guohua, the regiment commander, personally led a small detachment into the camp of the Yue army and launched a night attack that our army is good at. It dealt a good blow to the arrogance of the army. According to preliminary statistics after the war, in the three battles, the Reading Force Regiment of our 1st Division wiped out a total of more than 2,000 troops of the Chinese army and destroyed countless heavy ammunition of the Japanese army."
"Boss, don't you see the news. The night before yesterday, a local reading force group of the Reading Force Division wiped out 2,000 people in the Yue Army, this is a huge victory, I didn't expect Liu Hua to achieve such a big victory, and he didn't report it. The chairman pointed to the telegram in his hand, his face turned from cloudy to sunny, and said with a smile.
"Huh? Wipe out more than 2,000 people in the army with a local reading force group," the boss said in disbelief, but still at the urging of the chairman, he picked up the message and began to look. Because in his impression, if he wants to wipe out more than 2,000 people in the Yue Army at one time, with the current combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, it will need at least two main regiments or more.
"My mother, it's really a great victory to wipe out more than 2,000 people in the army. If it was placed in the Kuomintang, such a big achievement, it would be blown to the sky, and he Liu Hua didn't care at all. However, even if he eliminated more than 2,000 people in the Yue Army, there would still be more than 16,000 people in the Fifth Division, but I think that since one of his local troops can eliminate two brigades of little devils at a time, I have some faith in his big words about eliminating the Fifth Division of the Yue Army. The boss said to himself.
"Hehe, boss, to be honest, I just heard you say that Liu Hua planned to annihilate the Fifth Division of the Yue Army, and I couldn't believe it. However, after reading this news, I began to believe it a little. The current combat effectiveness of the Reading Force Division is not what we imagined, and I am looking forward to his battle plan for the total annihilation of the Fifth Division. The chairman said with a smile.
"Lao Mao, I'm also looking forward to it very much, if our reading division can really annihilate a main division of the army, it would be great. Such achievements will not only enhance the influence of our Eighth Route Army in the hearts of the people of the whole country. More importantly, to deter the army, so that they will no longer dare to sweep our base areas casually, so that our base areas can develop well," the boss replied thoughtfully.
"Boss, let's not talk about this for now. Let's continue to see if Liu Hua's combat plan is feasible If the combat plan is feasible, let's let him fight," Lao Mao said with certainty.
In this way, the two people, together with the chief of staff beside them, began to seriously study the battle plan sent by Liu Hua. Needless to say, the almost foolproof battle plan of Liu Hua and Li Qing quickly won unanimous praise from the three of them. And the three of them unanimously agreed, and immediately called back the reader to agree with their battle plan. In addition to reporting to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, any situation must be reported to the Central Military Commission.
"Chairman, boss, I'm going to call back the reader. Agree to their battle plan, and report to headquarters on all the Reader's battles at any time. Seeing that the boss and chairman in front of him nodded one after another, Chief of Staff Ye Jianying quickly stood up and said.
"Okay, hurry up, time doesn't wait for me. Such a good fighter may be fleeting. Tell Liu Hua to let him beat me, and I must leave no scum left in the Fifth Division of the Army. Let's just say that the boss and I are in the war room of the Military Commission every day, waiting for his telegram. The chairman smiled and nodded, no longer seeing the worried look he had just looked.
In this way, Liu Hua, who was far away in northern Shanxi, received an order from the headquarters and the Military Commission at almost the same time, agreeing to fight. However, he did not know that just after the headquarters and the military commission had sent the telegram, the maps on the walls of the two war rooms had been replaced with topographic maps of northern Shanxi almost at the same time. Several bigwigs, almost at the same time, put all their experiences on this battle.
"Divisional commander, divisional commander. The political commissar forwarded the telegrams from the headquarters and the Central Committee" Just as Liu Hua was looking at the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army farther and farther away on the map, Li Qing, the chief of staff, hurriedly ran into the war room with two telegrams.
"Hehe, needless to say, it must have agreed to our battle plan. Chief of Staff, this is the telegram I have just drawn up to Sun Xingbang and Gao Yuan. You see, if there is no problem, just sign it and send it to two people. Liu Hua smiled, picked up two copies of the telegram that had just been completed from the table and handed them to the chief of staff. At the same time, the telegram from the chief of staff was also received.
"The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army completely agrees with your unit's battle plan, and you must report the battle situation to the headquarters at any time," Liu Hua first took out the telegram from the headquarters and read it.
"The chairman and the boss have agreed to your battle plan. The chairman demanded that the reading division should not have any worries, let go of the fight, and must completely annihilate the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army. In addition, your unit must promptly report the combat situation of each day to the central authorities" After reading the central government's reply, Liu Hua smiled bitterly again.
However, he knew how much his battle plan shocked these bigwigs. After all, it is a division of the army, even if it is put to Chiang Kai-shek, he will also pay great attention to it.
"Chief of Staff, you inform the communications staff officer. From now on, every telegram received and sent by our headquarters must be sorted out and sent to the headquarters and the central authorities. In addition, the daily battle situation of our army was also summarized every day and sent to the headquarters and the central authorities. Liu Hua ordered speechlessly.
"Commander, I understand. It seems that the headquarters and the Military Commission are paying special attention to our battle! He even asked us to report the war situation once a day. The chief of staff said with a smile.
"Hehe, Chief of Staff, we are going to annihilate a division of the army, and it is also the fifth division, even if Chiang Kai-shek knows about it, he will also pay attention to the war situation at any time. What's more, the whole annihilation of a division of the Yue Army is the first time for our entire Eighth Route Army. It is not possible that the General Headquarters and the Military Commission do not care. Liu Hua sighed with emotion.
"Division commander, I understand, I will give orders to go down, and ensure that the headquarters and the Military Commission can understand the battle situation every day and at the first time. Division commander, I completely agree with these two telegrams, and I will go and send a telegram to the two commanders now. The chief of staff nodded approvingly and said.
"Go ahead! It is hoped that the two troops of Sun Xingbang and Gao Yuan will not have any accidents. Otherwise, we can only delay the entire battle," Liu Hua nodded and said.
