The third part of the bloody war of resistance, Chapter 9, the rushing flow, Section 8, the Yellow River Roaring (Eleven)

"List of war criminals?" Xu Zuyi and Cai Tingkai were caught off guard. They looked at Zhuang Jihua in wonder, wondering why he mentioned this at this time. In their consciousness, this should be the National Government, in other words, Chiang Kai-shek was worried about.

"Yes," Zhuang Jihua nodded affirmatively and looked at them solemnly: "Since September 18th, Japan has invaded our country and committed many crimes in our country, resulting in heavy losses in our lives and property. These crimes must be pursued, justice must be upheld, and criminals planning to launch this war must be brought to justice."

Speaking of this, his tone eased: "Our country has few legal concepts, and it is enough to drive the Japanese army out of China. Someone will even mention what kind of complaints will be made with kindness. Humph, I can't accept it. I want to take revenge and repay grievances. I must completely liquidate the crimes committed by the Japanese."

"The first one on this list is Japanese Emperor Hirohito. As the emperor of Japan and commander of the navy and army, all the crimes committed by Japanese soldiers in China are his part. It is he who promoted the September 18th Incident, the January 28th Incident, the Rehe Incident, the Great Wall Incident, and the Lugou Bridge Incident."

"Change Japan's war crimes, can we talk about it later? We can wait until the war is over?" Xu Zuyi was still very confused. He didn't understand why Zhuang Jihua was eager to make this happen. Japanese Emperor Hirohito couldn't escape: "Besides, the National Government has announced a list of war criminals."

"What I announced before was only military personnel. What I intend to announce includes Japanese politics, economy, culture, and all aspects, and to completely liquidate Japanese militarism."

Xu Zuyi still couldn't agree. He was about to continue refuting, but noticed that Zhuang Jihua looked at Cai Tingkai's gaze as if it was intended. He felt a little strange in his heart: "Cultural Revolution, let's talk about this war first. After the battle, let's make a good plan."

Cai Tingkai also noticed Zhuang Jihua's gaze, and he naturally knew that Zhuang Jihua's purpose was to let Deng Yanda promote this matter in Chongqing, and his people helped him from the side, but he didn't understand why he should talk about it as Xu Zuyi? Could it be that he wanted to tell Li Zongren through Xu Zuyi?

"In the Cultural Revolution, I agree with Brother Yan Mou's opinion. I will fight this battle first. If Matsui Ishigen is annihilated, the problem of North China will be almost done. It is estimated that it will be able to restore the south of Pingjin." Cai Tingkai nodded excitedly, but his eyes were fixed on the map.

When talking about the war, Xu Zuyi's expression became much more relaxed. He and Cai Tingkai's judgment were almost the same. Japan's troops in North China were Matsui Ishigen Group on the south bank of the Yellow River, Liaocheng Group on the north bank of the Yellow River, Tansuo Group on the Anyang, the First Army at the junction of Chahar Suiyuan, and the direct troops of the dispatched troops in the Pingjin area.

Among these troops, the most powerful one was Tansuo Group, the second was the Liaocheng Group, the Matsui Ishigen Group, the first army, the weakest one was the direct team of the dispatch army, the only one was the six thousand men left, and the only one was the Baoding area of ​​Pingjin Tanggu.

If this battle annihilates the Murgen San in Liaocheng and Shigen, Jinan Songi, Ishigen, the entire North China will have no strength to prevent the Chinese team from advancing to the Pingjin area.

"The most important thing now is to annihilate Matsui Ishigen," said Xu Zuyi: "It is very correct for the commander to choose the Laiwu area. On this battlefield, we have an absolute advantage."

Seeing that Cai Tingkai had already understood what he meant, Zhuang Jihua stopped obsessing about it. He thought for a while and said, "Eliminating the enemy defending Laiwu is just to eat Matsui Ishigen's tail. In my opinion, the most important thing is to conquer De County and completely cut off the Jinpu Road. Matsui Ishigen Nakajima Kaori's intention is harder than climbing to the sky if he wants to escape."

Zhuang Jihua actually attaches great importance to Kazuki Nakajima. This guy caused him a lot of trouble. Compared with him, Ishike Matsui is just a sheep pretending to be a lion. His various actions on the Shandong battlefield can only be described as stupid. On the contrary, Kazuki Nakajima seems weak, but in fact, every deployment has hidden murderous intent. Judging from the previous battles, this guy has a broad mind and very meticulous way of thinking, making it difficult for you to grasp the loophole. Zhuang Jihua believes that if the Second Army asked Kazuki Nakajima to command, this battle would never be so smooth.

"The focus now is not Laiwu, it is Qiu Qingquan, and De County." Zhuang Jihua made a very decisive decision: "Appoint Qiu Qingquan, his primary task is to conquer De County as soon as possible."

"Order, Lan Yundong, conquer De County within two days and eliminate the Fifth Mixed Brigade. Remind Guan Linzheng that the first priority now is not to attack Jinan, but to occupy the new city, and Jinan is not important."

"Order, Du Yuming and Zhong Bin, bite the Japanese army tightly and prevent the Japanese from getting out."

In Laiwu, smoke filled the smoke and fire filled the whole city. The fierce sound of gunfire sounded in every corner of the city, and explosions came one after another, and Chinese soldiers poured into the city from the dilapidated walls.

Lan Yundong stood on the hill outside the city, with a telescope hanging in front of his chest, and he exhaled heavily, as if he was about to exhale all the stuffy breath he had held in his chest in the past few months.

During the Battle of Hubei and North, he was fooled by Kanda and almost ruined the entire battle. Afterwards, Zhuang Jihua did not pursue the matter and repeatedly supported him in public. However, Lan Yundong himself knew that Zhuang Jihua did not pursue Zhang Lingfu's disobedience, which was just to express his dissatisfaction in a tactful manner, which was also the direct reason for his loss of the commander-in-chief of the Central Army.

Zhuang Jihua's tactful expression made Lan Yundong feel even more guilty. In the Southwest Development Team, Zhuang Jihua has always trained him as the second military general, and he was only behind Du Yuming and trusted him very much. The first army formed was made him the commander of the army, followed by the commander of the army. Among the Huangpu classmates, he was the first to be promoted to the commander of the army, so this mistake made him even more uncomfortable. After being transferred to the First Army, Lan Yundong rushed to the army training and ran all the brigades of the army, determined to fight beautifully in the next battle.

"Return to the headquarters," Lan Yundong did not reply: "Our army has broken through the city defense of Laiwu on all sides and attacked the city. Today, we can solve the enemy of Laiwu."

After saying that, Lan Yundong raised his telescope and observed the city. The camera was filled with smoke, and the blue sky and white sun flags appeared and disappeared. The Japanese army was obviously unable to counterattack the Zhong** team from the city, and was constantly retreating under the attack of the Zhong** team.

"Tell the troops that I only need the Pinbo, no matter whether I die or live, I can do it."

After Lan Yundong finished speaking, he stopped looking, turned around and left the observation point, returned to the command post. In the command post, Chief of Staff Lin Junxian was answering the phone, and his tone was very calm.

"I tell you, the Fifty-Fifteenth Army has entered the city, and your actions must be fast. The west half of the city will return to the Fifty-Fifteenth Army, and the east half of the city will return to you..."

Lan Yundong reached out to pass the phone: "Captain Wang? The commander gave us two days, but I gave you one day. General Zhang commanded the 59th Army, which is a brave and good fighter unit. Don't turn into a coward in your hands."

"Well, that's fine, I'll wait for your victory news."

After putting down the phone, Lan Yundong pulled up his chair and sat in front of the map. He looked at the map carefully. The battle has developed to this point, but there is no need for him to command. The commander and commander below himself understood what to do. Moreover, Huang Botao and Wang Guobin, who were attacking, were promoted by Zhuang Jihua, and they were very appreciated; the other was his old subordinates who had been following him for a long time; their abilities have long been proven, and there is no problem with handing over the battle to them. What he now has to consider is the action plan after the end of the Battle of Laiwu.

Zhuang Jihua made it clear before the war that Guan Linzheng's trip to Jiaodong was just an appetizer for the entire battle, and the conquest of Laiwu was just a soup before meals. The real meal was still behind, and it was still in Matsui Ishigen.

Chief of Staff Lin Junxian also sat next to him with a teacup. Seeing his eyes, he understood what he was thinking: "Commander, it seems that the battle will end tonight, and we will be able to launch an attack on Jinan tomorrow."

"It's not to go to Jinan," Lan Yundong said lightly. Lin Junxian was originally the deputy chief of staff of the new 101st Army, and later promoted to deputy chief of staff of the 49th Army. This time, he was appointed as chief of staff of the First Army.

"We directly attack the 59th Division that is retreating north." Lan Yundong drew a line on the map. From Laiwu to Changqing, Zhong Bin's 36th Army was striving to attack Changqing. If he conquered Changqing, he could force the Japanese army to retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River through Jinan. Tens of thousands of troops were crowded on this road, and the chaos caused can be imagined.

"The commander has a big appetite." Lin Junxian sighed, "Will you not go to Jinan? Give it to Guan Linzheng?"

"Give him, what is a Jinan?" Lan Yundong snorted faintly: "There is a saying in the Cultural Revolution that war is to eliminate the enemy's living forces, to capture cities and plunder the land, and Guan Linzheng occupied a Jinan city, so we will eat Tadakayashi Hosokawa."

"Commander Guan got a good job this time, occupied Jiaodong and Jinan, and even ate the Sixth Mixed Brigade." Lin Junxian smiled. In fact, Huangpu classmates knew that Guan Linzheng was not very popular. Among the first class classmates, only Zhang Yaomin had a good relationship with him. However, this person was good at abilities and was very good at fighting. Among the Huangpu classmates, the speed of improvement was second only to Zhuang Jihua and Hu Zongnan among Huangpu classmates.

However, Lin Junxian also knew that among the first issue, there were many people who were not convinced by Guan Linzheng. Du Yuming was one, and Lan Yundong in front of him was another.

"Ha," Lan Yundong laughed slightly sarcastically: "What a job, Guan Yudong probably doesn't think so. Restoring Jiaodong is almost nothing. With his pride, he is probably still complaining about the commander's use of his talents, otherwise they would send the 47th Army to attack Boshan."

As the two were talking, the staff came to report that the Japanese army in Laiwu City broke through to the north of the city. Lan Yundong stood up in surprise and angrily when he heard this, grabbed the telescope and went to the observation point on the hill.
