Chapter 665 Picking the fat
Liu Xiang laughed and stretched out his arm.
"Brother Delin said frankly!"
"Since the July 7 Incident, the Japanese invaders have become more and more powerful, and our Chinese territory has been lost. Now North China has lost Hebei, Pingjin, Shanxi and Shandong, and it has also set the sun in the hands of the Japanese invaders. Although the seventh War Zone in East China annihilated a large number of Japanese troops on the west bank of Taihu Lake and fought three consecutive victories, Nanjing and Shanghai still fell into the hands of the enemy!"
The Japanese conquered the cities and destroyed the land, and the Chinese army retreated step by step, losing troops and losing generals.
The situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan was very serious, and what Li Zongren said was the truth.
"The current situation is that the Japanese are isolated on two battlefields. I heard that Brother Fu Cheng judged that the next goal of the Japanese army must be the Jinpu Line and the Pinghan Line. It can be said that the heroes have a similar view. The little Japanese are familiar with Chinese culture and must have heard of the Central Plains who have won the world. The Military Commission decided to establish a five-war zone to give the Japanese a bloody battle in the Huanghuai River!"
Looking at Liu Xiang nodding, Li Zongren continued to say.
"Since we are united in the war of resistance, our Gui army will take the initiative and will support us. Li Pinxian 11th Army and Liao Lei 21st Army will soon go to Anhui to prepare for a decisive battle against the Japanese who are advancing north and south in the Jianghuai region. I hope Brother Fu Cheng will take care of you!"
"Where, Deng Xihou, the 22nd Army of our Sichuan Army, and Sun Zhen's troops will return to the fifth war zone soon. Then we will ask Chief Li to take care of him!"
"But I still want Feng Tiankui. Since Commander Feng drove out of Sichuan from Yongzhou, he has been invincible. The Chinese army has never lost any wars involved in the 66th Army. Shanxi cooperated with the Eighth Route Army and fought mercury to the ground. When it came to the Seventh War Zone, it would be even more powerful. If the Tenth Army had not run faster, they would have been destroyed on the west bank of Taihu Lake!"
Liu Xiang laughed, but she hadn't spoken yet.
Li Zongren is still continuing.
"I want not only Tiankui, but also Guo Rudong, I want it. Sichuan Army is all good."
Just mobilizing the troops, not to mention how to fight, he became the first cannon fodder to be consumed when he arrived on the battlefield. The Sichuan Army suffered too much loss.
"In order to open up the Pinghan Line, the Jinpu Road must be advancing north and south. Even if you don't make any requests, I will be planning to add three armies in Tiankui, Wenhua and Shao to choose the appropriate opportunity to cross the Yangtze River north. Such a war will affect the whole body. Guo Rudong, Guo Xunqi, and Tang Shizun's armies will definitely go on. Even if one more division is restrained in Jiangnan, it will reduce a lot of pressure on the fifth war zone. I am worried now that they are all disabled and repaired again, especially the 21st army of Tang Shizun, who are disabled twice and repaired twice, and are afraid that they will not be able to take the main force in the battle process!"
"Isn't Liao Lei's 21st Army also a disabled army in Songhu and came back to fix it? I will also take the lead. Regardless of the new and veterans, I don't care about the Yunnan Army, Guizhou Army, Northeast Army, Northwest Army, and Central Army. When we arrive at the war zone, we have to obey the needs of the war. When the country is in danger, we can't be picky and choose to fight the Japanese!"
I don’t like to listen to this. Guilin’s reserve system is perfect, and the source of troops is incomparable to the new recruits recruited in Anhui.
Besides, when the Sichuan Army killed the enemy, they have always been the elite Japanese soldiers. When did they choose to be picky, Liu Xiang suddenly became anxious.
"What does it mean to be picky and choose? My 66th Army started in Shanxi without stopping. The troops were already over half of their losses. The troops were all recruited on the spot by Anhui. How could they compare with the recruitment source of Guangxi's complete reserves? Besides, Brother Delin knew about the situation encountered by the 66th Army in Shanxi. If another order was given to the Fifth War Zone, let my 66th Division swear to survive and perish in Xuzhou, or let Tang Enbo's army save our Sichuan Army, then I think Tiankui is more secure in Anhui!"
The implication is that the Chinese army will not fight except for the 66th Army. You must be taken as cannon fodder with such a good officer and soldier brother!
Everyone has different habits in fighting. Once Li Zongren formulates a combat plan, he will act arbitrarily, and there will definitely be troops in the war.
He was just accustomed to worry that his subordinates would not obey the command. He suddenly thought about the battle at the Madam Pass reported by Huang Shaohong and was stunned.
He was a little envious of Liu Xiang and took the Anhui Provincial Chairman. This move took a very short time, and the raid on Shanghai caused a large number of seizures.
Now the Sichuan Army does not lack food or equipment, nor does it need to care about promotion and wealth.
With the support of Liu Xiang, the war zone commander, of course, it is different from other troops and you can choose the battlefield independently.
"Brother Delin, hasn't the Military Commission told you about the inside story of the Seventh War Zone like you? Since the 23rd Army entered Anhui, Tiankui participated in the planning of several battles. In the 7th War Zone, he had the right to fight or not, fight in that direction, and fight. I am not good at commanding myself. If it weren't for Tiankui and Wenhua and others supporting the battle situation, the 23rd Army would not have come to this day!"
Liu Xiang turned to look at Chen Cheng, who just signaled him to report.
Li Zongren also understood that there were too many people present, and it was not easy for Liu Xiang to be honest to this point.
In the officialdom of the Republic of China, it is difficult to hear the truth unless two people communicate in private.
"This is not urgent. I want to stay in the Seventh War Zone for a few days. I want to communicate with Tiankui, Wenhua and the others separately. I also want to make a request to you, Brother Fu Cheng. Can you let me see the detailed command and deployment process of several battles in your war zone!"
In fact, Li Zongren didn't think about how to fight. The Japanese unscrupulously began to occupy Nanjing. Until now, despite the protests of the State Government, they still carried out bloody massacres on our Chinese military and civilians in Nanjing, and did not start to deploy a north-south confrontation.
But he has been paying attention to the Sino-Japanese War.
He did not agree with the fact that hundreds of thousands of troops were placed in a dangerous place to compete with the Japanese for a city and a place.
It is believed that if frontal defense is combined with attack behind enemy lines, harassment is combined.
Civil war defense operations, plus external attack operations, concentrate part of the superior forces and annihilate a part of the Japanese.
It is much greater than that of Mr. Jiang who just insists on winning.
"No problem. Ci Xiu read the process of several battles against Japan repeatedly, sorted it into a report, and reported it to the servant room! Of course, he would not hide it from Brother Delin!"
In order to get rid of the suspicion of not reporting the information and coordinate the operations of the two theaters, Chen Cheng simply took out the telegram manuscript of Liu Xiang's opinion on the 66th Army in the North and handed it to Li Zongren.
After reading it, Li Zongren was surprised to find that in the content of the conversation between Jiang and him, he insisted that Feng Tiankui lead his troops north, hoping that he would fight the Japanese in the heart of the Central Plains. He used the 66th Army to transfer north to attract more Japanese troops, which meant a decisive battle.
The amount of information is a bit large and a bit messy.
Li Zongren decided to take time to talk to Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui alone.
"I understand what Brother Fu Cheng means. Tiankui is a lucky general in the Chinese army. The use of the lucky general is a lucky general. Tiankui is used to deter the Japanese army. If it is broken in the Huanghuai region, it will be a crime against the country and nation. Zu Yi and I have been bothering each other in the past few days!"
Hu Zongnan did not delay in the Seventh War Zone. Although he wanted to stay, he asked Feng Tiankui how he trained his troops and wanted to get familiar with the local army bosses and take on the next incense. However, he knew his identity very well. The principal behind him was unwilling to be the direct lineage of the Central Army, and he had too deep connections with the local princes.
After getting Liu Xiang's order, you can go back to Tongguan to ask for artillery soldiers.
I hurriedly thanked He Guoguang and Kang Ze, and left without delaying the 7th War Zone for a moment.
