Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

When the Eighth Route Army began to be busy helping the victims, the Japanese army, which originally wanted to capture Zhengzhou and threaten Wuhan, had to temporarily abandon this plan.It can be said that the battle of Xuzhou can also be declared officially over.

The Japanese army, which also needed time to rest, also began to line up for the battle in Wuhan.But at this time, He Zhengdao, who accompanied Luo Ruiqing to inspect the garrison in the base area and checked the situation of the garrison's competition, felt that arrangements should be made earlier.

After returning to Yulin, he summoned political commissar Xiao Jinguang and political director Luo Nonghuan to hold an impromptu military meeting and said: "Since the Xuzhou battle has ended, the Japanese army and the Central Army have also begun to deploy troops in Wuhan.

From what we know about the mobilization of Japanese troops, we can roughly infer that the Japanese army will adopt the tactics of attack and encirclement to push into Wuhan.This means that the battle of Wuhan will not only start in Hubei, Jiangxi, Henan, and Anhui will all become war zones.

If the Central Army really plans to transfer us to participate in the Wuhan battle, then the theater we are most likely to enter should be the Hubei theater.As a force defending Wuhan, participate in this great battle.

When inspecting the troops, I also discussed with the chief of staff, and felt that under such circumstances, an elite small force should be sent into Hubei in advance.Even if the Central Army might not send us over there, they would send some eyeliners over there. "

As an important military town in central China, the importance of Wuhan is self-evident.If the Japanese army occupies Wuhan, it will also form an effective blockade for the Chongqing government, which is temporarily sheltering in the southwest.Even if conditions permit, the Japanese army will wait for an opportunity to attack the southwest.

However, the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of Sichuan and Shu will also cause major troubles for the Japanese army's large-scale offensive.It can be said that if the Japanese army wanted to attack Chongqing, the price they paid might be beyond their imagination.

Under such circumstances, it is also very important for the Japanese army to win Wuhan and open the southern gate of Chongqing.Even if they were unable to attack Chongqing, the Japanese army's offensive front would be brought under the eyes of the government, effectively deterring it.

Listening to what He Zhengdao said, Xiao Jinguang said in a timely manner: "At this time, I am afraid that a large number of troops from the Central Army have assembled in Hubei. If we send troops there, will there be trouble if they find out?"

Regarding such worries, He Zhengdao smiled and said: "It's possible! Therefore, I plan to send an elite team there. In addition to sending a saber special warfare team, I will also transfer some troops from the reconnaissance brigade.

After these troops passed by, in addition to being able to understand the battlefield situation for the large troops, they could also scout the attack and deployment of the Central Army and the Japanese army in advance.With such a small team inside, we can also be prepared for the situation on the front line.

Even if my guess is wrong in the end, the Central Army will not transfer us to participate in the battle.The political commissar should also know that understanding the battlefield situation there is also very beneficial to us.What's more, guerrilla warfare itself is our strong point. "

Facing He Zhengdao's explanation, the political director Luo Nonghuan thought for a while and said: "Commander, sending a small team over there will indeed help us grasp the situation on the battlefield in advance. But what about the army's logistics? It's not an enemy-occupied area!"

When marching and fighting, logistical support is a very important factor.It is not an enemy-occupied area, which means that it will become very difficult for the small teams in the past to obtain supplies.Now is the period of the unified war of resistance, and the autumn wind of the Central Army cannot be defeated.

As for the Japanese army, it is believed that they will not be able to enter Hubei in a short time.This means that for the combat teams entering Hubei ahead of schedule, food alone is an issue worth considering.

'Director, although Hubei is now a war zone, even if it is not an enemy war zone.But I believe that there should be no shortage of bandits there, right?In addition, the saber special team has also had professional training in survival in the wild.

Even the reconnaissance brigade, in the process of organizing troop training, we also have the item of survival in the wild.There are many mountains in Hubei, and there are many lakes.Just find a secret base and believe they can stay there. '

'Where did the army commander choose? '

'The Dabie Mountains area! '

As He Zhengdao drew a large circle on the map, Luo Nonghuan also thought it was a good place.The Dabie Mountains area connecting the three provinces is also the area that the Japanese army must attack this time.

Of course, the central army will also send a large number of troops to stop it in this area.In contrast, banditry is also very serious in this place.Many bandits who occupy the mountain as their king have always regarded this place as their geomantic treasure.

Even at this time, no bandits dare to mess around.But there are always some bandits who make a lot of money for the country, relying on their understanding of the local terrain, they continue to do their business without money.There are bandits, which means there are targets to attack.

After listening to He Zhengdao's analysis, Luo Ruiqing, the chief of staff, also said in a timely manner: "On the way back, after discussing with the army commander, I felt that the Dabie Mountains area is a suitable place to form a base.

Although currently there, our strength is not strong.But our underground party organization and some small guerrillas are all active there.If we can send elite troops there, it will also help strengthen the military struggle there.

Even if the current situation is different from before, it is very necessary to increase our strength there.If we can gain a firm foothold there, it will also be of great help to our integration of the southern resistance forces in the future.

It's just that, in the absence of our army's entry, the development there must be carried out secretly.Although many guerrillas operating in the south were reorganized into the New Fourth Army before the Anti-Japanese War, small groups of guerrillas still existed.

I think those comrades should also eagerly look forward to the return of the main force.As long as our activities there are highly confidential and carried out in a manner consistent with the War of Resistance, I believe that the Central Army will be annoyed, and it is hard to think of anything to say. "

As this battle plan was reported to the central government and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, after discussions between Mao Taizu and Mr. Zhu, both felt it was necessary.Some things, even if they didn't say it directly, both of them knew that this move could be played in advance.

If the Eighth Route Army can establish a solid base in the Dabie Mountains, it will naturally play a big role in fighting the Japanese invasion of Wuhan.Conversely, it is also beneficial to look to the future.

Even if Boss Zhu has seen the overall battle plan, he is very satisfied and said: "It seems that this kid likes to focus on the future in everything he does. If this move is well played, it will bring us infinite benefits!"

In fact, for He Zhengdao, he only advanced the time for the Eighth Route Army to advance into the Dabie Mountains by a few years.If a solid base can be established in the Dabie Mountains, even if the central army tore up the agreement on the unified war of resistance in the future, it will not be too passive.

With such a base, the Eighth Route Army will be able to enter Hubei directly from Shaanxi in the future.Even if the Central Army will still be based in Nanjing in the future, with this forward position, it will also provide strong support and guarantee for the Eighth Route Army to march to the south.

The so-called 'focus and the future' is nothing more than considering issues from a historical perspective.In fact, He Zhengdao is also very clear that most of the time he can have today is because of the prophetic aura that the traverser comes with! (To be continued.)

The pros and cons of participating in the war in the forty-seventh chapter

After the fall of Xuzhou, the national government decided to adjust the order of operations in order to strengthen the command organization and combat capabilities.The newly formed ninth theater with Chen Cheng as the commander of the theater, and at the same time cooperated with the troops of the fifth and two theaters to prepare to defend Wuhan.

In order to resist the Japanese army's aggressive attack on Wuhan, the national government also mobilized the air force and navy, a total of nearly [-] ground troops, including combat aircraft and naval ships, with a total strength of more than one million troops.

With such a deployment of troops, it can be seen that the Central Army is also aware that if Wuhan falls, it will be unfavorable to the national government that moved its capital to Chongqing.But even so, Lao Jiang still seemed unsafe.

Fortunately, after the Yellow River broke its embankment, the Central Army, which had been chased and beaten by Doihara, took advantage of the favorable conditions of the Yellow River's rushing down, and began to encircle and suppress those Japanese troops who were caught off guard by the Yellow River's embankment breach.

At the same time, the rest of the troops retreated to the safe area, while resting, many troops also started to go to the next battlefield to prepare for the next battle in Wuhan.The actions of the Central Army are naturally known to the Japanese army.

In the eyes of many Japanese soldiers, the national government basically transferred their elite troops to the surrounding area of ​​Wuhan to block the Japanese army's attack, trying to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army around Wuhan that was bigger than the battle of Xuzhou.

Regarding such a situation, although the Japanese army was worried, they also felt very much looking forward to it.For the attacking Japanese army, they also hope to have a battlefield where they can have a decisive battle with the Central Army.

If they can annihilate the elite troops of the central army that participated in the war this time, perhaps the resolutely resisting national government will truly collapse.By that time, I believe that the entire resistance force of China will also be greatly damaged.

In view of this situation, the Japanese army also deployed its troops intensively, and also hoped to use this battle in Wuhan to strive for a one-time solution to the vital forces of the Huaxia Anti-Japanese War Force, which is currently causing them the same desperation.

The high level of importance attached to this battle by the top leaders of the two countries also realizes that Wuhan will also become a new warring area.In response to such a situation, many people living in Hubei also began to choose to flee to safer places.

Even if they know that there are elite troops of the Central Army blocking the front.However, the fall of Xuzhou still made many people full of doubts about whether the Central Army could withstand the incoming Japanese army.

Faced with such a situation, Lao Jiang naturally expressed a little displeased and said: "Before the little devil came in, many of our people wanted to flee from their homes. If this continues, will it affect the morale of our frontline troops?"

Facing Lao Jiang's inquiry, the intelligence officer in charge of intelligence work also said helplessly: "Commissioner, many people know that the little devils are coming in menacingly. Although we have a lot of troops in front, they are a little scared.

The previous events in Nanjing have cast a shadow over the little devil in the minds of many people.In fact, according to the information we have so far, many of the people who created this atmosphere of tension and failure are spies of little devils.

It's just that most of the people who were able to leave Hubei before the war were rich.They are relatively well-informed, and they don't lack the money for carriages and horses.It was the departure of these rich men that caused some panic among the people.

Even if we are currently in Wuhan, we have already started propaganda to defend Greater Wuhan.However, the previous fall of Xuzhou still left the common people with little confidence in whether we can hold Wuhan, and worried that the little devil would be the same as Nanjing by then.

Even according to some folk discussions we have collected, many people hope that the Eighth Route Army will come to Hubei.In the eyes of these common people, they all felt that the Eighth Route Army could protect them better.This kind of public opinion must be suppressed as soon as possible! "

Even though such words were spoken, the intelligence officer felt a little ashamed.But as an intelligence officer, he could understand that it was normal for people to have such private discussions.After all, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army did fight very well.

Most importantly, the Central Army kept losing territory, while the Eighth Route Army kept regaining territory in the northwest.The common people don't understand the rationale for a strategic retreat, but they know that the Central Army is retreating while the Eighth Route Army is advancing.

In addition, people who are concerned about the situation of the Anti-Japanese War have more or less read from the newspapers that the Eighth Route Army is not like the Central Army's propaganda, swimming behind enemy lines without fighting.The little devil has two divisions, both of which have been wiped out by him.

Hearing what the intelligence officer said, Lao Jiang said with a very ugly expression: "Mother Xipi! What do these people know? If we hadn't contained the main force of the Japanese army in front, would they have today? You know, we are the Central Army! "

Regarding the reason given by Lao Jiang, the intelligence officer said cautiously: "Committee, since the people have such a wish, why don't we take this opportunity to let the Eighth Route Army send troops to participate in the battle?

Regarding the matter of the Anti-Japanese War, Beizhi felt that they should not dare to disobey orders.Right now our troops are expending a lot in order to contain the main force of the Japanese army.However, the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to expand in the rear. This is probably very detrimental to the party-state! "

Such a suggestion made Lao Jiang cover his head and said: "With the order of the War of Resistance, it is natural to transfer the Eighth Route Army to the south. But have you ever thought about what to do if the Eighth Route Army can really defeat the little devil after they come over?

Although we have always advertised that they are in the Northwest Theater and only know how to fight guerrilla warfare with little devils, as an intelligence officer, you should know better than me what the real situation is.Today's Eighth Route Army is indeed not what it used to be. "
