"Nani, Gardenkou burst the dam..." Kenji Doihara, who had secretly flew to Xuzhou to wait for the bombing results, received a report from his adjutant, and his eyes were almost falling to the ground. . The fastest update

"Yes, aviation reconnaissance found a gap of several miles in the entrance section of the garden on the south bank of the Yellow River. This is a photo taken by aviation." The adjutant took out a photo printed from the folder.

In the photo, a clear gap on the Yellow River embankment rolled from the west under the camera on the plane, gathered in this gap, and the waves rolled, forming a Thousand Mile Ze Country.

"map!"

"Hayi!"

Kenji Doihara found the location of the Gardenkou on the map, which was just upstream of the embankment on the north bank of the Yellow River bombed by Japanese aircraft.

His face suddenly changed. The water coming downstream must first pass through the gap in the broken dam at the entrance of the garden. When it reaches the gap in the north bank below, 70% of the water volume will probably be diverted.

In this case, the plan to explode the dike and flood northern Henan will be a failure.

If the water flooded northern Henan by blowing up the embankment, for the Second Army in Xuzhou area, they could attack Kaifeng and Zhengzhou to the west along the Longhai Line, and then occupy Henan. Whether it was the New Army in northern Henan, or the Pinghan Line south to attack Wuhan, this would become possible.

But the biggest breach is now on the south bank, and the disasters in northern Henan are much less severe. In this way, if the water in the Yellow River is too large, the road they will go west will be blocked.

Kenji Doihara wanted to give the North China Front Army a chance, but instead tied up his hands and feet.

The river water surged, and the broken entrance of the Gardenkou was quickly washed away, forming a huge flood discharge mouth. The flood water was like a wild horse that broke out from the stagnant, rushing down, rolling up huge waves, breaking the Longhai Railway, and flowing towards southeastern Henan.

The flood flooded a large area of ​​farmland, villages, and then passed through the Ying River and Xifei River, and finally poured into the Huai River, flooding the embankment of the Huai River, and the Huai River Railway Bridge was washed away by the flood.

Although early warning measures were initiated, the dam was still a little too late to defend, and the flood came too quickly.

Wherever the flood passed, the people had no time to react, and their homes were flooded and their lives and property were lost.

When Jiang Jiang received the report that the "Gardenkou" broke the dam, he was stunned for a while before he could react.

If he wanted to "use water instead of soldiers" to stop the Japanese army from invading Henan and threaten the safety of Pinghan Line, he would win a victory in eastern Henan. The Japanese army was unable to advance westward, and the dam was broken.

Unexpectedly, a month later, under a natural disaster, the Yellow River broke down, and it was not the location of the breach I decided to break.

Millions of people were affected by disasters and the people were displaced. Chiang Kai-shek ordered the First War Zone and the Henan Provincial Government to come forward for disaster relief, and at the same time squeezed out a disaster relief fund from the Ministry of Finance and called on the people to donate money to rescue the disaster.

Chiang Kai-shek also received news that Japanese planes bombed Liuhukou on the north bank of the Yellow River. The next area where the Japanese army focused on attacking was northern Henan.

This seems to be inconsistent with the peace and kindness released before.

After being deceived, Chiang Kai-shek and the National Government had a strong feeling of being teased, which was clearly intentional to release goodwill to make China relax its vigilance.

Just when some people were singing the song "peace" in a high-profile manner, the Japanese army brazenly launched a key attack on northern Henan.

This slap was really loud enough.

Vice President Wang Zhaoming learned that the Japanese army bombed the Yellow River embankment and said he was sick and did not go to work. Those who believed that they would resist the destruction of the country were all mourning and criticized.

His secret envoy, Director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, secretly visited Tokyo, and seemed to have seen the dawn of "peace".

The "low-key club" was in turmoil for a while.

Northern Henan.

Huayuankou broke the dam and diverted most of the flood that had originally leaked into northern Henan into southeastern Henan, and eventually entered the Huaihe River Basin.

Although the Japanese plane exploded a gap of hundreds of meters in the Liuyuankou embankment section on the north bank, it eventually flooded less than one county, and then the flood was backflowed and flowed through the flood discharge area.

Although the flood caused considerable property losses to the people, there were not many casualties. Due to the early evacuation and effective organization, and in the later period, the Northern Henan Administration mobilized a large number of disaster relief supplies transported from Shanxi and other places.

The Northern Henan Administration has made plans and organized well, and has carried out disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction work very effectively. There was almost no major epidemic. The reputation of the New First Army and Leng Feng in northern Henan has been rising.

These are all later stories.

Leng Feng is now facing not only the problem of disaster relief, but the Japanese military's "elae" military operations against northern Henan and the New Army have begun.

"On the morning of the 17th, the Japanese army set out from Yongcheng and Xuzhou and launched an attack on Dangshan, Fengxian, Peixian and other places, and had a fierce battle with our 27th and 68th Army. The Japanese army failed to break through our Dangshan defense line..."

"On the night of the 18th, Commander-in-Chief Sun of the Third Army sent a telegram that an elite Japanese mechanized unit attacked Yanzhou. After investigation, this Japanese unit was the independent 3rd Brigade stationed in Tai'an, and the commander of the detachment, Major General Shigeji Liuxia..."

"The 18th is the afternoon Liaocheng telegram. The Hirata Brigade of the Chiba Regiment of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Jinan, with the cooperation of the Japanese Army stationed in Yucheng, secretly mobilized a large number of troops, set off from Jinan and attacked Liaocheng through Dong'a County. The battle is currently fierce. The Second and Third Divisions of the Shandong Civil Army, as well as the Wu Hanzhang Independent Brigade, have successively entered the battle."

"129 Advance the Corps and the Hebei-South Administrative Office..."

...

"Is there no movement in the Second Independence Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Handan?" Xie Jiyuan asked in the combat room.

"Not yet. We sent intelligence personnel in Handan City. We have not found any abnormal movements in the Japanese army yet?"

"The Japanese army in Daming has been very active recently and often went to the countryside to sweep. We have received reports from the people that many villages in Daming have been poisoned by the Japanese." Intelligence Staff Fang Xiaoyang said, "The Japanese army seems to be fishing intentionally."

"From the current situation around us, the Japanese army launched this wave of offensive around us should be aimed at us, with the purpose of destroying our reforms and rest in northern Henan to achieve the goal of weakening us."

"This is just an appearance. Judging from the action plan related to the 'Epiphyllum' we have, the purpose of the Japanese army this time was to eat our New First Army in one bite, but to eat us, we must first clear our peripheral areas. The Japanese army did not attack northern Henan head-on, but attacked the troops around us. This is the purpose." Long Yingqin, deputy director of the Staff Department, analyzed.

"The strategy exposed by 'Epiphyllum' is to first attack the friendly forces around us, and then form an encirclement in northern Henan and eventually eat us. If we sit idly by and watch the friendly forces be eliminated, then we will be ourselves who will be eaten in the end."

"I think we should take the initiative. When will our New First Army be afraid of the Japanese?"

"Yes, military commander, we are now strong and we are afraid that the Japanese will destroy as much as we come..."

"I'm all crazy. Are there any such aggressive advisers as you?"

"Senior Guangting, what do you think?" Leng Feng kept listening, weighing, and thinking, what exactly did the Japanese army want to do with such a "flash-of-peptide" plan?

At this time, the top Japanese military leaders acted as if they wanted to eat themselves, which was a bit of a cart before the horse.

The New First Army did cause great losses to the Japanese army and was regarded as the number one enemy by the Japanese army. However, the top decision makers of the Japanese army should not be hot-headed. Of course, they are habitually hot-headed, but their fever should not be used on him.

It is not very reliable to change a country's strategic plan for him, a Chinese general.

The "Epiphyllum" plan is so top secret that it can leak through various channels. When will the Japanese be unprepared for their top secret information?

Interestingly, there is actually a specific combat plan, and the content is very detailed. The plan has been leaked. The Japanese army did not change this combat plan and still arranged troops according to this offensive plan.

Just pointing at the nose and saying to your opponent, Look, I'm here, hit me in the face!

Is there anyone fighting like this? Whether it is Sugiyama-tomi, the commander of the North China Front Army, or the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Army, these two are veterans in the army. Doesn’t he understand this principle?

"Martial Captain, how did we get the information from the 'Epiphyllum' plan?"

"The Central Commission for Discipline has personnel in Nanjing that invaded Liang Hongzhi's pseudo-Nanjing government. This top-secret plan was obtained through our agents." said Xue Ping, acting intelligence director.

“Has it been verified?”

"We have confirmed the existence of this plan through other channels, but the specific content of the plan is mainly provided by Zhongtong."

"Their intelligence has never been reliable in the Central Government. Even if this plan really exists, it may be completely different from what we know." Du Guangting said.

"But the information we have obtained at the moment of investigation and the feedback from friendly forces is consistent with the content of this plan." Long Yingqin said.

"Will we let the Japanese cheat?"

“Who presided over the development of this plan?”

"There is no relevant information in this regard."

"I think this is very likely a smokescreen released by the Japanese army. On the surface, it is targeted at us, but in fact it has other purposes." Du Guangting said, "It's not that I look down on our new army, but that the Japanese army attacked northern Henan with great fanfare at this time, which is not in line with their strategic interests."

Leng Feng nodded. What Du Guangting said made sense. At this time, a special campaign against northern Henan and the New First Army was really not in the interests of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army's strategic goal was to occupy China, which would not change. The secondary is to seize various resources, population, minerals and civil wealth from China. They have already searched for it once. Although they did not scrape the land, northern Henan must not be the first choice for northern Henan now.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, and other coastal provinces are the most important wealthy places captured by the Japanese army.

Taking these places can block China's sea outlets and cut off China's maritime support. These places are relatively prosperous places, with developed commerce and rich economy, and are really the targets of the Japanese army's plunder.

At this time, we have to fight the New First Army to the death. Even if we can eat the New First Army, how much does the Japanese army have to pay?

Leng Feng didn't believe that the senior military and political figures in the Japanese base camp did not consider such an important factor.

There is only one reason: the Japanese army must have done this "eine-blooded" plan to cover up their eyes and have other plans.
