Chapter 799 What is the source of intelligence
I was originally planning to guard the Sichuan Army in Teng County to fight Liu Ziman, but I received an order to get close to several British and American journalists.
Let them understand the Battle of Taihu and Niangziguan of the Sichuan Army, and the War of Resistance behind Enemy in the 18th Army.
At the same time, understand the cruelty and inhumanity of the Japanese.
Leave first-hand information to these foreign journalists as much as possible.
On the one hand, we will let the international understanding of the Sichuan Army and the 18th Army's achievements, and on the other hand, we will gain international sympathy as much as possible.
How could she know that several European and American journalists looked at the guards beside her and provided information on a carriage, and even Teng County was reluctant to leave.
These original words, photos, and images immediately made her the focus of the press.
Almost all Xuzhou reporters were around her, which saved Zhou Xiaoshan's efforts to persuade the reporters to leave later.
As a last resort, I followed a few reporters to Xuzhou.
I brought many of the original manuscripts and photos I carried to Xuzhou, and read, select and excerpt them, hoping that as many reports as possible would appear in foreign newspapers.
These materials have caused a great sensation in the press.
The Central News Agency and countless newspapers are sending people to Xuzhou.
Chief Li called Liu Ziman the first battleground reporter in China.
Liu Ziman, who was still answering questions from several European and American journalists, suddenly screamed excitedly after receiving a telegram from Zhou Xiaoshan.
"Everyone, the Japanese have concentrated the main force of the 2nd and 4th Divisions and strengthened a heavy artillery corps. This morning, a two-hour shelling was carried out on Dawenkou, which was recovered by our Chinese army. After the shelling ended, the Japanese sent a corps to attack the 56th position of Dawenkou in the cover of twenty planes and two chariot squadrons. The brothers of the 56th Army bravely and tenaciously fought the majesty of the Chinese army. Destroyed five Japanese chariots and killed hundreds of Japanese. After the Japanese retreated, they replaced the 2nd Division, known as one of the two heroes of Sakura, and after nearly a thousand casualties, they were defeated by our 56th Army again!"
"Really?"
"Is the news accurate? That's the elite Japanese army of two multiple divisions."
Many reporters have known the news that the two Japanese divisions of attack on Dawenkou.
"Is the 56th Army a subordinate of the Third Army?"
"Yes, the 56th Army, Liangmin, also served as the commander of the 22nd Division. He and Li Hanzhang, commander of the 74th Division, sent a telegram to Commander Sun Tongxuan, saying that he had been nailed to the position for three days and three nights, and he sweared to live and die with the position!"
Liu Ziman transformed into Bai Xiaosheng, a front line, and detailed a few foreign journalists, introducing the origin and establishment of the Third Army.
Several people who listened nodded frequently.
The miracle created by Pang Bingxun in Linyi continued in Dawenkou.
Miscellaneous cards fight against the elite Japanese army and live to death.
What happened to the Chinese army? The battlefield in North China was defeated continuously. When they arrived in Xuzhou, they leaned against the brave Sichuan army, and each of them became a terrible friendly force.
These reporters live next to the headquarters.
Several keen reporters watched Li Zongren appear outside and rushed over.
"Captain Li, you have to say what you have to say about the 56th Army's three artillery gangs, and then repelled the three-dimensional attack composed of Japanese tanks, armored vehicles and aircraft?"
"Sir Li, what kind of support are you going to give to the 56th Army?"
Li Zongren was stunned. The 56th Army was busy fighting and only reported on the incident of the Japanese artillery bombardment and attack. He repelled the Japanese attack twice, but did not report it.
The news is so fast?
Xu Zuyi spoke quickly.
"Where did your news come from? Is it accurate?"
"Liu Ziman said it!"
It was the Sichuan Army again, which must be a real battle report. Many battles fought by the Sichuan Army were not reported in detail due to restrictions on intelligence and other aspects. Li Zongren and Xu Zuyi, the chief of staff of the Fifth War Zone, were speechless.
The 56th Army is fighting, so you send someone to observe.
You just exposed such important information before reporting to the war zone.
Dawenkou is so far away, how can I reinforce?
The chairman came to Xuzhou again, and he helped Xue Yue support him in the 20th Corps.
Chief Li rushed over to see him, but was blocked by the reporter.
Seeing Liu Ziman coming out of the room, Li Zongren couldn't help but point her in laughter.
"I'm going to do some military affairs now. Reporter Liu will go with me. When I come back, I'll take time to answer your questions. I'll ask reporter Liu to notify you at that time!"
Li Zongren turned around and asked someone to call Deng Xihou up again. He asked about the war on the front line again on the way.
Let's go to see the Chairman together.
Deng Xihou had just received a telegram from Sun Zhen and Liu Xiang.
After being called out, Xu Zuyi understood Liu Ziman and let him get into his car, mainly to remind Liu Ziman not to disclose the war casually.
The war zone is very passive.
As soon as Deng Xihou got in the car, he happily reported the battle situation in Dawenkou to Li Zongren.
Li Zongren understood that the Sichuan Army sent telegrams to Liu Ziman and Deng Xihou at the same time.
Deng Xihou didn't have time to deliver it to him.
"Sir Li, there is something very important. The Sichuan Army obtained accurate information. The 18th and 8th elite divisions of the Japanese escort the two aircraft carrier fleets. They had already joined the Yellow Sea yesterday."
Feng Tiankui talked to Li Zongren twice and revealed the possibility that the Japanese might land in the waters near Haizhou.
Li Zongren also did not rule out this possibility.
Although he was prepared, he still hoped that the Japanese would not land from the coast.
Because of this, the Japanese army heading south from Qingdao will be lost.
This information had a big blow to him.
"What source of information?"
"The confidentiality of the government is like a sieve. With a shout, we can kill our intelligence personnel. Even if the commissioner is here, I can only tell him that this is true, more real than real gold!"
The commissioner was lifted out, and Li Zongren was a little depressed.
With the numbers of the two divisions, it is still very difficult to verify.
He knew about the 18th Division leaving East China. Although the 8th Division was in Northeast China, it was difficult to prove the movements of it, but it was not impossible.
What I fear most is that these two divisions have been transferred back to the local area.
It's impossible to verify.
He was glad that he called Deng Xihou into the car.
I will meet the committee meeting later and I will be able to inform this confirmed conjecture as soon as possible.
If the Japanese landed in Haizhou and advanced west along the Huaihai Line, this battle would be difficult to fight.
"Jin Kang, Tiankui and Guo Xunqi, have any suggestions for the war zone?"
"He just asked me to remind you to prepare for combat. I suggest that I learn from Teng County and demolish all the railways from Haizhou to Taierzhuang. The highway has been destroyed. At the appropriate mountain passes and intersections, explosives can be buried. The Yunnan Army and the Guizhou Army can do this!"
Every inch of mountains and rivers is every inch of blood.
It was said that it was the scorched earth war of resistance, but as thorough as the Sichuan Army did, it was still necessary to pay attention to the commission.
"No matter whether we want to annihilate the Japanese, the Huaihai Line cannot be lost. We must immediately order the Yunnan Army and Guizhou Army to make the worst preparations and provide them with reinforcements!"
Listening to Deng Xihou’s reminder, Li Zongren nodded with a serious expression.
The attendant's room was also delusional about the Japanese leaving a port for North China at the end of the Huaihai Line.
Now it seems that I am afraid that all the ports that Song Ziwen spent a lot of effort to build were cheaper to the Japanese.
The strategic vision was broken, and the fish that the Japanese wanted to catch were turned into fish that the Japanese wanted to catch.
His mind was full of situations on the map.
The Central Army wants to annihilate one of the enemy and win a big victory in the fifth theater. Where is the most suitable place?
When the Japanese were in the middle of the night, the Japanese attacked from all directions. I only went all the way. Which Japanese army was the most suitable for chewing a piece of meat.
Too difficult to make a decision.
The Military Commission is waiting for the Central Army to win a battle.
Without an explanation, the commissioner couldn't argue.
