"The power has been achieved, your dragon can no longer escape..." Feng Gui blinked his little eyes, put a black piece on the chessboard with some pride, and then looked up at the middle-aged man in a suit opposite him.
The middle-aged man also wore glasses and his hair neatly combed back with a popular big back. He sneered without raising his head: "Hmph, don't be too early for pride. The big dragon is not dead. There is a famous saying, I see how you kill!", "Pa", as the middle-aged man knocked the chess piece on the chessboard, then looked up at Feng Gui. Feng Gui looked at the chess piece on the chessboard. The white flag was unwilling to disarm. He flew and broke the black chess into two pieces. This unexpected hand made Feng Gui restrain himself and stared at the chessboard carefully to calculate.
"Brother Wuchang, Brother Juyang, the formation in front has been completed and it is almost started. When will Commander Zhuang arrive? What is his idea?" The next to him, he seemed a little anxious while listening to the radio, and his tone was annoying and impatient.
The two people who were playing chess did not answer. Feng Gui was frowning and thinking, holding a black piece in his hand, hesitating to put it on. The middle-aged man in his suit was also staring at the chessboard with all his attention, as if he had not heard what he said.
The lieutenant general shook his head and smiled helplessly. He looked at the two people who were fully focused on playing chess. He felt that they could not bring their attention to them. He simply opened the door and walked through the courtyard. The courtyard was in a deep atmosphere. In front of the main hall was a huge tree. The huge trunks of the three people couldn't hold it. The dense leaves formed a huge shadow, covering the entire courtyard. Green vines were crawling on the walls around him, and yellow flowers were blooming on his knees. The walls were covered with green moss, and fine water droplets were leached. The courtyard surrounded by green plants exuded a neat coolness, which was undoubtedly a good place to cool down.
But now this summer resort is surrounded by soldiers, which is completely opposite to the ease inside the house. The courtyard is full of tense air, and the sound of ticking telegrams echoes in the air. The courtyard is very vigilant, three steps per post and five steps per post. The lieutenant general turned a blind eye to these wards and walked quickly towards the main hall. The officers he met saluted to the lieutenant general one after another. The lieutenant general raised his hand to return the salute, and kept walking into the main hall.
In the middle of the main hall was a huge long table with seven or eight telephones on it, and on one side was a huge map, which marked the enemy and us in red and blue colors. From time to time, staff members entered the house and handed the telegram to the Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi who was inside the house.
"Brother Yan Mou, what's going on?" After entering the house, Lieutenant General seemed very relaxed when he saw Xu Zuyi. He was drinking tea while handling the telegram he had just arrived.
"Well, that's good, tell Lin Huaibin." I have transferred five hundred trucks for him. Before sunset tomorrow, 20,000 shells must be transported to the front line." "Staff Secretary Zhang, is the Air Force in place?" "Report, the Third Air Force Division, the Fourth Division, the Fifth Division, and the First Detachment of the US Air Force are all in place and can be launched at any time." A staff officer in front of the map immediately turned around and replied.
"Where is the New First Army and the New Sixth Army?" Xu Zuyi asked Shangguan Jun again, and Shangguan Jun replied: "The new 30th Division and the New Sixth Army's 50th Division have arrived in Zhuoyang." Xu Zuyi nodded, and then smiled and said to the Lieutenant General: "Brother Xianchu, why are you anxious? Don't worry, there are two days left. "Cai Tingcuo sighed slightly in his heart. The Jiangbei War Zone is not an exaggeration to describe it as a strong soldier in the Jiangbei War Zone. The huge victory of the Hubei Battle has made the entire Chinese team have a high morale." Confidence is bursting, especially the Jiangbei War Zone troops, from generals to soldiers, they all despise the Japanese army, as if as soon as they attack, the Japanese army will be invincible. The simplest manifestation is that Zhuang Jihua, the commander of the combat theater, has not appeared in the command center until now, and is still in Zhengzhou. Xuchang attended a harvest celebration.
A arrogant soldier will be defeated," Cai Tingcuo muttered in his heart. He arrived at the Jiangbei War Zone at the end of June. He had previously taken the position of senatorial in the Fourth War Zone. After Wuhan was restored, Chiang Kai-shek made a major adjustment to personnel. The Fourth War Zone was cancelled. Cai Tingcuo took the opportunity to resign. Zhuang Jihua asked him to go to the Jiangbei War Zone to serve as the Military Senate at the Jiangbei War Zone.
The old friend Jiang Guangyi was also his old friend Jiang Guangyi who was seriously invited to serve as the chief of the Jiangbei War Zone Officer School. The two of them went north with their companions.
After the battle in Jiangbei, the two did not go to see Zhuang Jihua first, but met with Yan at the officers' school. After the three of them met, Yan told them in detail about the purpose of letting them go to the Jiangbei War Zone.
With the secret support of Zhuang Jihua, the Third Party's strength in the Jiangbei War Zone developed rapidly. He and Chen Mingshu trained a large number of military and cultural cadres respectively. The controlled armed forces have developed to two armies and seven divisions, with a total force of more than 100,000, and a group of generals held brigade-level positions.
"Zhuang Wenjie is crucial to us. He supports us at present. It is precisely with his support that we have made such great progress. But what puzzles us is that he has never disclosed or revealed what his real purpose is."
"Xianchu, when you work around him, you must pay attention to the methods and methods. Our relationship with him is one of the core secrets of the party. Your main job is the contact person between us and him, and other jobs are secondary." When he said this seriously, his expression was extremely serious. Cai Tingcuo and Jiang Guangbi certainly understood the pros and cons.
Then the serious told them that the Third Party was seeking to establish an army group, and Jiang Guangyi would be the commander of this army group, with the main source of troops from the militia of Being Tingfang, western Henan. However, this involves equipment and cadres, but an army group is relatively active, so there is still a chance to establish it.
Cai Ting censored to the Xuchang War Zone Command and met Zhuang Jihua. He was sent outside Zhuoyang City the next day to the Secret Command of the War Zone. Considering that the Jiangbei War Zone is vast, Zhuang Jihua established three War Zone Commands, the open ones in Xuchang and two in secret, one in Shangqiu and Zhuoyang.
There is a reason for establishing these two secret war zone headquarters. Chiang Kai-shek returned from Cairo and decided to take Shandong as soon as possible on the way back. As soon as he arrived in Chongqing, he secretly recalled Chen Cheng and Zhuang Jihua to Chongqing, and held a small-scale meeting hosted by Chiang Kai-shek, attended by He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, Zhuang Jihua and Lin Wei in the Huangshan official residence.
At this meeting, Chiang Kai-shek told them the results of his trip to Cairo, and then asked them to discuss a small plan for resuming the season and win a victory in the short term to boost the confidence of the allies.
He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi believed that the Battle of North Hubei had ended for five months, the replenishment of various departments had been completed, the logistics materials were gathered, the Pinghan Line and the Longhai Line were also opened to traffic, and airports in various places were also repaired and improved, so it was completely available.
Zhuang Jihua also believed that an offensive could be launched, but, for the specific way, he suggested to attack the north and the sound of the south and the north. The Jiangnan War Zone first took the initiative to attack Anqing and Xizhong, attracting Xiweishou's troops to the south of the Yangtze River; and then launching an offensive north of the Yangtze River. First, the 21st Army went out of Qianshan Taihu Lake and attacked Anqing from north of the Yangtze River: the feinting of this route would definitely attract the Japanese army in Hefei. After the Japanese army in Hefei went south, Huoqiu's 24th Army and Lu'an's 15th Army launched an attack on Hefei. For this reason, the Fourth Army in Xinzheng's south to Qianshan in Taihu Lake and under the command of General Li Pinxian. The First Army in the mechanized army commanded by Qiu Qingquan entered Xinzheng as a reserve force for the entire Jiangbei War Zone.
After the Hefei offensive was launched, Xiweishou would inevitably draw the transfer of the Japanese army from Zhuonan. Bengbu reinforced Hefei: Once the Japanese army from Bengbu in Huainan went south, it would create an opportunity for the 22nd Army in Haozhou. The 22nd Army could go down the Wohe River and attack Bengsh; in addition, the 3rd Army and the 4th Army of Qing were secretly transferred to Zhuoyang to attack the Japanese army in Huainan.
While the 22nd Army and the Qing 3rd Army and the Qing 4th Army launched an attack, the Sulu War Zone sent two powerful troops to attack Bengbu, forming east-west attacks with the 22nd Army, striving to conquer Bengbu in one fell swoop and cut into the Jinpu line.
After the 22nd Army succeeded, the main force of the Jiangbei War Zone gathered in Shangqiu launched an attack on the Japanese army in Xuzhou in two ways; the first route, commanded by Song Xitao, under the Second Army and the Thirty-Sixth Army, attacking eastward along the Longhai Line: the second route, led by Du Xingming, under the Fifty Army, under the Fifty Army, and the First Army, attacked directly at Suxian; after conquering Suxian, he turned to the north along the Jinpu Line.
At the same time, the Sulu War Zone was led by the theater commander Guan Linzheng, who singlely led the 47th Army and the newly formed 12th Army (expanded from the 25th Division, commander Zhang Yaoming) from Suqian to attack Xuzhou from the east.
This huge plan was very exciting for He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi, but Chen Cheng felt a little uncomfortable. In this plan, the Jiangnan War Zone was completely subordinate, and the entire battle was completed by the Jiangbei War Zone. He could completely imagine what would happen after the war.
However, not to seize Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou by force is a certain strategy, so he was just uncomfortable. However, after careful consideration, he believed that the strength of the Jiangbei War Zone was still a little weak, and it was recommended that the battle time be postponed and the attack was launched after the New First Army, New Sixth Army and the Seventy-Fourth Army arrived.
It should be said that Chen Cheng's suggestion was still pertinent. In order to attack, Zhuang Jihua pushed the Qing 3rd Army and the Qing 4th Army, which had not much experience, to the front line of attack. This has exposed that although the Jiangbei War Zone has a large number of troops, the war zone is too wide and the troops are still slightly weak.
However, Chiang Kai-shek had made up his mind and decided to use the Air Force to airlift the New First Army and the New Sixth Army to the war zone. However, due to the short time, only the New First Army and the two pioneer divisions of the New Sixth Army arrived in Zhuoyang. The entire Seventy-Fourth Army, led by the commander Wang Yaowu, took the land route and had just entered Guizhou.
The entire battle was carried out in stages. In order to better grasp the situation, Zhuang Jihua decided to set up another secret command center in Zhuoyang. This command was led by Shangguan Jun in advance. Before the battle started, Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi entered first.
"The commander knows that we don't have much time left. With my experience, the commander will arrive before tomorrow and will understand the changes in the enemy situation as soon as he arrives. Brother Xianchu, you should also make some preparations." Xu Zuyi's tone was full of kindness, but Cai Ting felt a little funny when he listened wrongly.
