Chapter 794: Grain, Northern Henan Campaign
"This honorary first division is really immovable like a mountain, the strategy is like fire, just half a day to take the four counties in northern Henan, if Tu Feiyuan Kenji can not return in time to help, we can recover northern Henan just around the corner!" Wu Xiqi came to Xue Boling excitedly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xue Boling folded his arms over his chest. Before, he smiled faintly: "It's just a few counties, northern Henan is empty, it's not difficult to see this, it's not so easy to recover northern Henan." ”
"Chief Xue is also not optimistic about Leng Guoguang?"
"You're wrong, if Leng Guoguang really wants to recover northern Henan, this is really not difficult, but the question is after the recovery?" Xue Boling asked, "As a qualified general, he thinks not only of recovering the lost territory, but also of how to hold the lost territory. ”
"Northern Henan is a plain, although it is a granary, but it is not a place for soldiers to defend." Wu Xiqi also understood that it was easy to recover, but it was difficult to defend this place.
Especially in the face of national strength, Japan, whose military strength is more than ten times stronger than its own, wants to compete with the Japanese army in northern Henan, first of all, it must have a strong mechanized corps, otherwise on the plain, in the face of steel and sharp weapons, it will only be slaughtered.
"But at the moment, recovering northern Henan is a very beneficial thing for us."
"Food!"
"Yes, Leng Guoguang is Leng Guoguang, he sees deeper and farther than others, our troops have food and grass supplies from the government, so naturally they don't think about this, but he is different, everything today is desperate, even if the government gives him food, grass and material supplies, he will not completely rely on the government."
"Isn't that tantamount to rebellion?"
"Rebellion, then you have to have this qualification, how many of those local princes listen to the orders of the central government?" Xue Boling sneered, "In this troubled world, who doesn't want to support the army and respect themselves, but I can't see through this Leng Guoguang." ”
"Can't see through, and there are people you Chief Xue can't see through?"
"There are many people who I can't see through, there's nothing I can't say, I know myself." Xue Boling gave Wu Xiqi a roll of the eye.
Wuchang, Military Commission of the Nationalist Government.
"Leng Guoguang recovered the four counties of northern Henan in one fell swoop, and is now besieging Puyang, an important supply depot set up by Tufei Yuan Kenji on the north bank of the Yellow River."
"This ......"
He Jingzhi took a breath of cold air, this news came too suddenly, he was completely unprepared, such a big move, he, the chief of staff, actually didn't receive any news in advance.
"Okay, great, if Leng Guoguang can recover northern Henan in one fell swoop, it will be a victory that shocks the whole country!" Vice Chairman Feng clapped his hands happily and said.
"Northern Henan is a place where grain is produced, and this summer grain is about to be harvested and put into the warehouse......"
Wang Zhaoming's face changed slightly, he secretly contacted the Japanese side, the Japanese asking price was too high, not because GJ was losing on the battlefield, now it's good, the Japanese have finally been frustrated on the battlefield, and now they should also rein in.
At least, Leng Guoguang's victory now is still beneficial to him, but in this way, I am afraid that more people will not support his peace theory.
It's a real headache.
In the Sino-Japanese war, although China won a lot of victories, it was still defeated on the whole, and Wang Zhaoming did not believe that China could win this war at this stage and strive for peace was the best policy.
He will not easily change his political opinions, otherwise, what will he do with those who follow him?
"Leng Guoguang is really a peerless general, a contemporary Yue Wumu!"
"Too young, the future is limitless!"
"Leng Guoguang won the first battle, the country is very fortunate, and the government should be rewarded!"
"The award is certain, but he will talk about it after he finishes the battle, and this is the end of today's meeting and will continue tomorrow." Lao Jiang showed a smile on his face, although this battle was fought by Leng Feng, and it was not as good as he wanted, but after all, it was a victory, and he was the military leader of the government and the president of GMD, which was also worth being happy about.
The news of the victory came again, and in the past few days, the people of the three towns of Wuhan have been celebrating every day, and good news has come from the front almost every day.
This has had a tremendous impact on inspiring the enthusiasm of the people throughout the country to resist Japan and save their lives.
The enthusiasm of the people is easy to go overboard, and even produce the feeling of pride and contempt for the enemy, once it is excessive, it will be very terrible, and blind propaganda will have the opposite effect.
Hankow, Eighth Route Army Office.
"Now the enthusiasm of the people is high, thinking that the victory of the War of Resistance will come soon, this is an extremely dangerous and wrong idea, and the GMD side has similar thoughts, we must be vigilant!"
"Vice Chairman Zhou is right, we can't be too blind."
"Japan is much stronger than us after all, and their war machine has just started, and we have already lost a large part of the country, which is still the richest piece."
"The chairman's telegram also said that he wanted us to calm down, and he also reminded Mr. Jiang to calm down and not be carried away by the victory in front of him."
"But we are retreating step by step in the Xuzhou area?"
"From now on, our newspapers will report less on the news of the victory at the front, and they should be objective in their reporting, pay attention to guiding the overheated emotions of the people, and in addition, we should strengthen the popularization of the situation in Japan so that the people can better understand what kind of country Japan is."
"Will this deepen the pessimism of the people?"
As long as we pay attention to propaganda methods, this kind of emotion can be avoided, and for the vast number of our commanders and fighters, we must seek truth from facts, and we must enhance their self-confidence. You've all watched "Long War", right? ”
"After reading it, the chairman's analysis is very incisive, and it has a very clear guiding significance for our current anti-Japanese strategy." Dong Lao said solemnly.
"This can completely become a programmatic document for our party to propagate the anti-Japanese proposition."
"I have sought the chairman's approval for this speech, and after a little tidying up, it will be released to the public." Vice Chairman Zhou said.
"Okay, great!"
"Vice Chairman Zhou......"
"Okay, I see, I'll be there in a moment." Vice Chairman Zhou commanded in a low voice.
A secluded place where no one is.
"Uncle Seven."
"Xiaoyun, your Aunt Deng misses you very much."
"It's been ten years."
"Yes, it's been ten years since your father died." There was a hint of sadness in the speaker's voice.
"Uncle Seven, you and I belong to two different camps, you still have something to say." A cold female voice sounded.
"Hey!"
"Our intelligence officers in Shanghai have obtained some information, which is about Japan, and some of it is related to the current war situation, and I don't feel at ease through others, so I will personally hand it over to you."
"Thank you, Uncle Seven."
"No thanks, we are now united to resist Japan, besides, I still know you well."
"I'll go first."
"I have time to see you Aunt Deng, she really misses you."
"Yes."
Juye, the division headquarters of the 1st Division of Honor.
"Master's seat, the witch is in an emergency, S-level top secret."
"Oh?" At this time, Wu Xiaoyun sent a top-secret message, could it be that something happened in Wuhan, hesitated slightly, stretched out his hand to take it, "Give it to me." ”
This kind of top-secret message is something that the translator is not capable of deciphering, because the code is only in Leng Feng's hands, and only Leng Feng himself can understand the content of the message.
The content of the message was not long, and it took Leng Feng less than three minutes to translate it.
This is a piece of information from Tokyo, which is about the inside of the Japanese army base camp, and the content includes that Japan's Emperor Hirohito is very dissatisfied with the current Japanese military operations in China, and has plans to adjust the strategy toward China, and then that is, the Japanese generals who support the war expansion faction have entered the center of power, Japan may launch a full-scale military conquest of China, and the base camp has doubts about the ability of Terauchi Shouichi to continue to serve as the commander of the North China Front, and may be replaced by him in the near future, and there is also important news, It was Lieutenant General Seishiro Sakagaki of the 5th Division who was riding a rocket and would be the Minister of War, and he would be replaced by Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando.
And the most important thing is that Terauchi Shouichi has asked the Tokyo base camp to remove Kenji Dohihara from the post of commander of the 10th Division, and ask Ren Xian for another one!
These personnel adjustments in the Japanese military are all military secrets, and although the national government also has intelligence personnel in Japan, they are all very low-level and have no access to this core secret at all.
These sources of intelligence must have nothing to do with the people of the military command and the central command, they must be from the ZG side, and only they have such a powerful source of intelligence.
The Japanese army changed generals on the spot, which was a rare opportunity for front-line operations.
It seems that Kenji Dohihara's crisis is not small, and Terauchi Shouichi is about to be unable to tolerate him, so he launched this battle himself, but secretly helped him.
At least for now, the Japanese army can't replace him, at least until he finishes this battle.
In fact, there are pros and cons, and it is not necessarily a good thing to change an unfamiliar opponent, but it is so familiar and easier to deal with.
Okabe Naosaburo has already arrived in Taiyuan, but unfortunately Leng Feng suddenly launched the Northern Henan Campaign, and Okabu Naosaburo has no way to go to Caozhou safely.
Okambu Naosaburo reported the situation to Terauchi Shouichi, and Terauchi Shouichi also seemed to have received some rumors in the country, and a telegram ordered him to fly back to Beiping again.
Umezu Mijiro and other generals of the First Army also breathed a sigh of relief, if they really replaced Dohihara, it would be really troublesome.
On the 29th, at 2:30 p.m., the battle to encircle and annihilate the Sakai detachment began.
The 36 heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery regiment were lined up.
Ten minutes to prepare for artillery fire!
Takashi Sakai had long known that there was a heavy artillery regiment under the command of the Honor First Division, but in the early battle, only mountain artillery and infantry artillery appeared, and the number was roughly equal to his own.
He guessed that Leng Feng would not be used on him with such a powerful superior firepower as the heavy artillery regiment, so although he was surrounded, he was not very panicked.
With the 3,000 elites under his command, as well as the ammunition and grain and grass hoarded in Juancheng, there is no problem in holding on for ten days and a half months.
However, as soon as the heavy artillery went off, he was dumbfounded!
