Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

In this way, there are not many choices before Jiang Dingwen.To stick to Zhengzhou means that the Japanese army may make dumplings.Although we are behind him, with Jiang Dingwen's personality, he would not seek our help.

The current situation has not exceeded our previous predictions.What we have to do now is to wait for Jiang Dingwen to make a choice.Once his troops at the border are withdrawn, our assembled troops must quickly take over their defenses.

If the time comes, they will reserve some troops here to persist in fighting.As long as they don't provoke easily, we will let them stay in Henan, and after the situation in Henan is stabilized, we will slowly deal with them. "

Zhou Enlai, who also participated in the deduction of the war situation, said in a timely manner: "Then we are now watching the Central Army and the Japanese army start a war in Henan? Don't we need to do something in advance? Let the Japanese army attack smoothly, which will be good for us in the future." I'm afraid it's not good to fight, right?"

At least for Zhou Enlai's side, he still hopes to help out, and can't just sit on the sidelines.In any case, the Jiang Dingwen Department stationed in Henan can be regarded as an elite unit of the Central Army!

Faced with such an inquiry, He Zhengdao continued: "At least the two main divisions we have placed on the border of Henan in advance must not act rashly. Once they startle the snake, I am afraid that the Japanese army will be on guard.

If we want to respond to the war in Henan, we can now order the New 67th Army and the 117th Division to start a sabotage battle.Specially pick the little devil's defense supply line, and use this method to cope with the war in Henan.

Just for the next step, we can successfully take over the entire territory of Henan, and even encircle and suppress the main divisions of the Japanese army that entered Henan.I suggest that this kind of harassment and sabotage should be fought at a leisurely pace, so as not to scare the little devils away. "

Boss Zhu, who heard this, rarely showed a smile and said, "It's just you, who dare to ignore the three divisions of the little devil. To be honest, if we dispatch two main divisions next, can we hold the little devil?" A division, really worried!"

"Commander-in-Chief, if Commander Dong of the 127th Division and Commander Liu of the 116th Division listen to your words, they will definitely feel that you have underestimated the combat effectiveness of their troops.With two against one, I think there is no big problem.

What we are doing now in advance is to try our best to prevent the three little devils from encircling the situation.It is necessary to ensure that Jiang Dingwen can withdraw smoothly, but also to ensure that we separate the three divisions. '

The **** who has been listening to the analysis of the battle situation said directly: "Zhengdao, you also proposed the Henan campaign. Then you should have a set of countermeasures in your heart, right? Say it now, and let's analyze it together!"

'Yes, Chairman!However, my plan is completely based on the possibility of attacking Henan against the little devils.How to fight this battle depends on how the next battle develops. '

He Zhengdao, who said such a sentence, also hoped that the battle plan he made would not affect the judgment of the commander in charge of the next battle.After all, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and He Zhengdao dare not say that he has no plans.

Pointing to a place on the map, He Zhengdao continued: "If we want to cut off the danger of the three divisions of the Japanese army joining forces, then we need to send a main force to attack from the position of Zhoukou to block the Japanese army. encircled.

According to what we know so far, the Central Army does not have many troops stationed here in Zhoukou, and the place where the heavy troops are now stationed is in the direction of Xuchang.And my first division had entered Linquan as early as half a month ago.

In addition, part of the main force of the reconnaissance brigade fighting behind enemy lines in Guoyang has already entered the territory of Huaiyang in Zhoukou for intelligence reconnaissance.According to their feedback, there is only one infantry brigade stationed in Zhoukou.

Most of the rest of the counties are city defense forces of the Central Army.It is impossible for those troops to stop the Japanese attack.If there is no accident, once the front line of Zhumadian is breached, the Zhoukou defenders will be panicked.

My suggestion is that the First Division of the New 67th Army and the Huitong Reconnaissance Brigade seize some of the main roads in Zhoukou before the Japanese army, and deploy defenses to block the Japanese army that may come in this direction.

The overall strategy is the same as our previous plan, and we will station when the central army withdraws.At that time, even if there is a war of words, we have reasons.They can't resist the Japanese attack, so our Eighth Route Army can take the lead. "

Watching He Zhengdao start on the map, standardize the blocking front of the New 67th Army.Boss Zhu also said in a timely manner: "Zhengdao, your plan is to use your new 67th Army to contain the No.13 and Eighteenth Divisions of the Japanese Army.

As for the No. 14 Division of the Japanese Army that attacked Zhengzhou from Kaifeng, will our 116 Division and 127 Division going south be in charge?If your new 67th Army can stop the attack of the two divisions of the Japanese army, then we are still very sure of winning. "

Regarding Boss Zhu's question, He Zhengdao also said confidently: "Commander-in-Chief, although our new 67th Army lost a lot in the battle in Wuhan last time, in fact, the organizational structure of our three main divisions is still preserved.

The first division cooperated with the reconnaissance brigade to block the Japanese offensive in the front, while the second and third divisions followed the two Japanese divisions to contain the Japanese division's attack.I think the new 67th Army is still capable of completing this task.

It's just such a fight. I believe that the Japanese troops in Wuhan and Anhui will definitely provide support.This requires the cooperation of the New Fourth Army and the 117th Division.The Japanese troops in these two places were held back so that they did not dare to leave the garrison easily. "

As far as the troops formed by the New 67th Army in the Dabie Mountain area are concerned, He Zhengdao feels that it is still possible to fight hard against the two divisions of the Japanese Army.Just in this way, I believe Lao Jiang will be furious by then.

At least he will feel that he seems to have been deceived.The new 67th Army was not as severely damaged as he imagined.On the contrary, it has grown stronger and stronger in the Dabie Mountains area.Knowing this, it is estimated that Lao Jiang will be so worried that he will not be able to sleep again!

But the problem is, as long as the Eighth Route Army can successfully retake the entire territory of Henan after the Central Army abandons Henan.At least for the citizens of the whole country who are concerned about the War of Resistance, this is a victory worthy of joy for the soldiers and people of the War of Resistance! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As the Japanese army launched a major attack on Henan with three divisions as the main force, the Central Plains battlefield, which had just stopped for a while, was in full swing again.Around the direction of Henan, the Eighth Route Army's raids and harassment wars also started everywhere.

Although the Japanese army also prepared for a period of time to attack Henan this time.But they also did not expect that after the end of the Wuhan battle, the Eighth Route Army judged that they might launch a plan for the Henan campaign.

Anticipating the enemy's first opportunity, it is natural to seize some opportunities step by step.At least for the armed forces behind the enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army operating in central China, when the Japanese army started the war in Henan, the Eighth Route Army also lit the fire everywhere behind the enemy lines.

While He Zhengdao was analyzing the war situation with the heads of the Central Committee and the headquarters, Lao Jiang, who was far away in Chongqing, also summoned his generals to discuss how to deal with the war in Henan.In fact, they also had a little preparation for the possibility of the Japanese army attacking Henan.

It just seems that they did not expect that the Japanese army would launch such a violent attack if they did not make a move.The three divisions threatened Jiang Dingwen's Department, which was still stationed in Henan, with a double-sided attack.

Looking at the telegram for help from the front line, Lao Jiang still worried: "What do you think about the war in Henan? If Henan is also lost, our troops in the Central Plains will really have nothing to do in the future." too much."

Faced with Lao Jiang's question, the generals sitting in the conference room did not dare to speak casually.Even before the Japanese army went to war, they had actually discussed the Henan incident and made some countermeasures.

The question before them now is whether to retreat or hold on.If you choose to retreat, the sooner you withdraw, the better.In this way, it can also ensure that Jiang Dingwen's troops will not suffer too much loss.

But retreating without a fight will undoubtedly greatly reduce the prestige of the national government.Just lost the important town of Wuhan, and now Henan is handed over to the little devil.I believe that such a result will also disappoint many citizens.

But the problem now is that if you want to defend Henan, the troops commanded by Jiang Dingwen alone may not be enough.Even if one is not careful, many people may face the ending of losing both people and land.If things really got to that point, the Nationalist Army would suffer a great loss.

Looking at the silence of all the generals, Lao Jiang said with a dissatisfied expression: "Why are you not talking? Could it be that you are afraid to say something about this battle, or you still feel that you have nothing to say? "

Under such circumstances, He Yingqin, the chief of staff of the Military Commission, could only say: "Commissioner, there are actually two choices before us, whether to fight or withdraw. If we want to fight, how to fight. If we withdraw, then We must withdraw early.

Earlier, we had placed Hu Zongnan's First Corps in the Xiangyang area bordering Henan.Even if the Japanese army breaks through the Zhumadian defense line next, we can still take out the Henan troops.But little devil, you shouldn't give us too much time. dudu1

Once the two divisions of the little devil break through the defense line we deployed in Zhumadian, then go north and continue to attack.The passage from Zhengzhou to Xiangyang may be cut off by the little devils, and it will be difficult to retreat at that time.

As for another big battle with the little devil, we are actually not ready in terms of military strength or supplies.If we really want to fight the little devil, I'm afraid we won't last long. "

He Yingqin, who had an ugly expression but still said this, knew very well that in order to prepare for the Wuhan battle last time, the strategic materials stored by the national government had basically been consumed.

To fight another large-scale battle, one can imagine the material pressure on the national government.So from a rational point of view, He Yingqin still felt that he should retreat as soon as possible.As long as Jiang Dingwen's elite troops are kept intact, there is still a chance to regain Henan.

With He Yingqin's suggestion, other generals also expressed their views.Based on the attitudes of these generals, Lao Jiang also knew that they all felt that Henan could not be defended.

Even if they could keep it, they might not be able to bear the price.Nowadays, the life of the national government is getting more and more difficult.With the Japanese occupation of Guangzhou, their only channel for shipping supplies has been cut off.

The slightly unwilling Lao Jiang could only say: "But we just lost Wuhan and Zhengzhou, what will the common people think of us? If we retreat without firing a single shot, how can we explain to the people in Henan? ?”

The Japanese army is pressing every step of the way, the Eighth Route Army is rising rapidly, the domestic people's dissatisfaction with the government is increasing, and the voice of peace talks within the Kuomintang is rising.Everything made Lao Jiang feel a lot of pressure.

It was also at this time that a general whispered: "Committee, if you want to defend Henan, can you ask the Eighth Route Army to send troops to help. Presumably they should understand that if Henan is lost, their future situation will be equally worrying!"

As a result, as soon as the general finished speaking, the other generals participating in the meeting looked at each other with idiot expressions on their faces.To mention the Eighth Route Army at this time is not to sprinkle salt on Lao Jiang's wounds?

Earlier, the Eighth Route Army was invited to participate in the Battle of Wuhan. As a result, the Eighth Route Army took root in the Dabie Mountains.Not to mention that they were powerless to prevent the Eighth Route Army from establishing a base in the Dabie Mountains, even the Japanese army occupying Wuhan was also powerless.

In terms of the war of resistance behind enemy lines, the Eighth Route Army is indeed stronger than the Nationalist Army.Even though the two divisions of the Japanese army have been stationed in the Dabie Mountains for so long, they still haven't heard that they got too much money in the battle against the Eighth Route Army. dudu2

At this time, inviting the Eighth Route Army to go south to cooperate with the Nationalist Army to guard Henan, wouldn't it mean that Henan is handed over to the Eighth Route Army?

Looking at Lao Jiang whose face had darkened, the general also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue.Lao Jiang, who also felt that everything was not going well, quickly issued an order to adjourn the meeting.As for whether to defend or withdraw in the battle of Henan, it seems that a decision has been made.

After the meeting held by the national government ended, news about the meeting quickly reached Zhou Enlai.Looking at the telegram sent by the latent personnel, He Zhengdao also felt that it was really not easy for Lao Jiang.

With this telegram as a reference, Boss Zhu also said in a timely manner: "It seems that the national government has decided to preserve the strength of their troops in Henan, and will fight while withdrawing in the next battle, and finally hand over Henan.

Then, we have to prepare early.As for the candidate for the conductor this time, who does the chairman think is better?This should be the first major battle that we have been independently responsible for since the formation of the Eighth Route Army! "

Even if the boss wanted He Zhengdao to be in charge of commanding the battle before, but when He Zhengdao came back, he had already told the boss that it would be better to leave this task to someone else.
