On the evening of November 2, when the 12th Japanese Army held a military meeting, Liu Yimin had received exact information and the Japanese Fifth Division boarded a ship in Lianyungang and headed south. At this time, Liu Yimin had confirmed that the Japanese army was still going to attack as in history.
Guangzhou, in the words of the Japanese army, is to release the victory and loser, and determine the final fate of the Wuhan Battle in one fell swoop. Therefore, Liu Yimin sent a 100,000 urgent telegram to the headquarters, requiring the headquarters to arrive and transfer immediately and report to Chairman Jiang of the Military Commission of the Wuhan National Government. The telegram is not
The chief told Chiang Kai-shek that according to reliable information, the Japanese army formed the 21st Army directly under the headquarters. The commander was Lieutenant General Guzhuang Ganlang, and the chief of staff was Major General Tanaka Kuichi, with the Fifth Division and the 18th Division.
The regiment, the 104th Division, the directly affiliated mixed brigade, and the Fourth Flying Regiment. Among them, the 5th Division had loaded ships in Lianyungang on the evening of today. The remaining troops should assemble somewhere and meet with the 5th Division.
It is judged that the Japanese army's goal should be Guangzhou and may land on the coast of Guangdong. Please take precautions as soon as possible.
After receiving the telegram from Liu Yimin, General Zhu added to the telegram another analysis and judgment on the possibility of Japanese troops attacking Guangzhou, specifically indicating that the Japanese navy is strong and it is entirely possible to transport the 21st army to attack Guangzhou. Guangzhou
The parties are likely to be still in the dark at the moment, so they asked Chairman Chiang to urgently call the Fourth War Zone to take immediate measures to prevent the Japanese army from attacking.
After receiving the information reported by the Eighth Route Army, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to neglect it and immediately summoned He Yingqin, Liu Fei and others to discuss the reliability of the information.
This discussion scared Chiang Kai-shek. The Japanese army could really attack Guangzhou. The reason is very simple. Guangzhou was the foreign trade channel of the National Government at this time. Capturing Guangzhou could cut off the trade ties between China and Europe and the United States, which was equivalent to cutting off China.
The international material supply line for the War of Resistance Against Japan. Moreover, some troops in the Fourth War Zone were fighting on the battlefield in Wuhan at this time, and Guangdong's defense force was relatively weak. It would be strange if the Japanese army did not attack Guangzhou at this time.
Chiang Kai-shek regretted it!
If I had expected that the Japanese army might take action in Guangzhou, I should have adopted the strategy of replacing troops with water and blocked the Japanese army with the Yellow River water. There would be no need to draw troops from the Fourth War Zone to rush to the Wuhan battlefield. It is too late to say anything now, the Japanese army sees it
We are going to siege Wuhan. Such a big thing happened in Guangzhou again. How can the battle in Wuhan continue? Forget it!
Not only did Chiang Kai-shek figure it out, but He Yingqin and Liu Fei figure it out. He Yingqin's face turned pale and said hatefully: "The Japanese army shot three birds with one stone. They urgently cut off our international material supply line, took the opportunity to occupy Guangzhou, and supported Wuhan.
Battle. This Japanese devil is really not in a good mood. It is not enough to occupy Tianjin, Peking, Shanghai, and Nanjing. It really has to occupy Guangzhou and Wuhan. This Japanese devil is so cruel!"
Liu Fei was funny, but he just couldn't laugh because he knew that once the Japanese army succeeded, China's war of resistance would be even more difficult. After thinking about it, Liu Fei still suggested: "Commission, if the intelligence is true, the Japanese army
An attack on Guangzhou will be launched soon. The most urgent task is to immediately call the Fourth War Zone to mobilize urgently to resolutely repel the Japanese attack. Second, we must consider ending the Wuhan Battle as soon as possible. Once the Japanese army captures Guangzhou, Wuhan will be lost
It is a meaning that urgently needs to be adhered to. Instead of fighting with the Japanese army in Wuhan to consume power, it is better to make plans early and consider the military deployment after Wuhan’s fall, accumulate strength, and last the war of resistance."
Chiang Kai-shek had a heart to eat people at this time, and his eyes staring at He Yingqin and others also became cold, which made several people sweat on their foreheads. After a long time, Chiang Kai-shek snorted coldly from his nose, and then he was right.
He Yingqin said: "Respect him, go and send a report and order the Fourth War Zone. No, send a report directly to Yu Hanmou, asking him to strengthen the defense of the eastern coastal areas of Guangzhou and resolutely repel the Japanese attack. No matter what, the Eighth Route Army can report in advance this time
The information received from the Japanese army was pretty good. Send a report to Mao Runzhi and Zhu Yujie to praise the 18th Army."
He Yingqin agreed to leave, and Chiang Kai-shek's voice suddenly rose eight degrees: "But, at the critical moment of the Battle of Wuhan, why did Liu Yimin, the instructor of the 18th Army, hold his troops? Why didn't he take advantage of the Japanese army's attack on Wuhan to launch an offensive?
Where is the teacher now? Why did the 18th Army Air Force withdraw back to Shaanxi without approval? What do they want to do? Do you want to sit down and see Wuhan and Guangzhou fall into the enemy? Send my original words to Mao Runzhi,
Zhu Yujie asked them to ask Liu Yimin if he is still a Chinese soldier? Or does he obey or not the leadership of the National Government?"
He Yingqin, Liu Fei could not have thought that Liu Yimin was kind enough to inform the enemy. Not only did he not receive commendation, but Chiang Kai-shek had a bad mood. Liu Fei said: "Commission, after the Eighth Route Army Air Force bombed the Japanese fleet, the ammunition was exhausted.
Without any combat effectiveness, if you return to Wuhan, you will inevitably be intercepted by Japanese fighter jets. At that time, even a plane will not fly. Their choice to withdraw to Shaanxi is the right choice from the perspective of safe retreat. Besides, Liu Yimin, he has always fought.
There was no sign in advance, and there was no report or notification. Suddenly, good news came. I wonder if he was afraid that the Japanese would be careful of the precautions?"
Before Liu Fei finished speaking, Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and interrupted him: "Don't say it anymore, I won't listen! I won't listen!"
He Yingqin also said coldly: "Even if they were right to withdraw from Shaanxi at that time, why not return to the Wuhan battlefield? This is a standard battlefield disobedience! And Liu Yimin, who has always been uncontrolled by the Military Commission. If he captures a place, he will
If every unit was appointing local officials without authorization, if every unit was like him, wouldn’t it be that the warlord separatist state before the Northern Expedition? Where is the national law and discipline? What is the government order? What is the system? I really can’t figure it out, the commissioned officers are not bad at treating Liu Yimin
Without prior grudges, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and allocated huge sums of money to reward him. Not only did he let his wife go to work twice, but he also married his adopted daughter to him. Even his wife's direct cousin became his wife.
Which one in the world can compare with? Why doesn't he think about repaying it? Now, the war situation in Wuhan is so dangerous, our army is bleeding and sacrificing every day. Liu Yimin holds the most elite troops in our country, so why does it look like
What is the same thing that disappears in the world? Of course, the telegram he sent was indeed timely and he was a little conscientious. But why didn't he launch an attack? If he attacked any Japanese army and wiped out another division, it would inevitably cause shock to the Japanese army.
Does the Japanese have the intention to attack Wuhan and attack Guangzhou?"
Liu Fei smiled bitterly in his heart. He probably thought about what He Yingqin said for a long time. This time he was looking for some venting points and poured out all of them. According to his statement, Liu Yimin was not only not a famous anti-Japanese general but became a traitor!
Liu Fei originally wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, this was not a debate occasion, nor was it what he should say. It seems that Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts are about to be in circles again.
Seeing that Liu Fei and others did not respond, He Yingqin wanted to say something else, and Chiang Kai-shek stopped him: "Jingzhi, forget it, go and send a report."
After receiving a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, General Zhu and Mao Zedong sent a telegram. After discussing for a long time, they sent Chiang Kai-shek a telegram of only four words: "Don't be impatient!"
Although there are only four words, it is really a daughter in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes. Because he knew it in his mind that Liu Yimin must be planning a major battle, and it is likely that he has started.
Chiang Kai-shek was in a slightly better mood and ordered the second telegram to the Fourth War Zone, ordering them to urgently relocate important equipment and materials in Guangzhou, implement a strong wall and clear field, and never fall into the opponent. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also realized the reason why Liu Yimin was slow.
If you don't launch an attack late, I'm afraid that what you'll wait for is the opportunity for the Japanese heavy army to fall into the Wuhan war and Guangzhou war. This guy has always taken advantage of it and not suffered any losses. The Kuomintang army is fighting to the death on the front line of Wuhan, but he stays aside and waits for the fighter plane. At a young age
It's so deep, it's so terrible!
Chiang Kai-shek wanted to wait until Liu Yimin launched an attack before finally deciding whether Wuhan would withdraw. Originally, he had already made up his mind to give up Wuhan when necessary, but now his ideas have changed. If Liu Yimin launched an attack, the Japanese army had to terminate the attack on Wuhan.
Attack, instead of attacking Liu Yimin's instructor? According to the reaction of Liu Yimin's capture of Tianjin and the Japanese army in Qingdao, this may be very great!
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek was at least the commander of a country, and everything he did was to let the staff study it repeatedly. Whether Wuhan was withdrawn from its garrison was naturally left to the staff to analyze. However, at this time, Li Zongren fell ill, and Bai Chongxi went to the Fifth War Zone to replace Li Zongren.
Commander, Chen Cheng was in the Ninth War Zone again, He Yingqin led a group of people to discuss for a while, and proposed two possibilities: one is that after Liu Yimin launched an attack, the Japanese army would terminate the attack on Wuhan, but this possibility is relatively small, because Wuhan and Guangzhou
The influence is too great. Another possibility is that the Japanese army will conquer Wuhan desperately and then return to the army to deal with the Eighth Route Army teachers. Of course, the results of the analysis are a bit ambiguous, mainly because He Yingqin and others don’t know when Liu Yimin will launch the attack
, where to launch an attack? The battle in Wuhan is almost at its last moment.
Unlike the anxious and annoying mood of Chiang Kai-shek and others in Wuhan, on the night of November 3, Liu Yimin finally waited for the Eighth Education Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade who had returned from Ganyu. When he saw Hu Laohu, Bao Wen and his comrades-in-arms meeting, he was delighted.
It was on the faces of Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong and others, and they couldn't even wave it.
It was a long time since Hu Laohu entered the division headquarters and saluted several leaders, he immediately shouted happily: "Team Commander, Political Commissar, Director Cai, have you opened it? Give an order, Cavalry Brigade
What is the task? As long as the division commander and political commissar give orders, the Cavalry Brigade is responsible for twisting off Hata Shunji's head and serving as a chamber pot for the division commander. So Masahiro has no place to urinate at night."
Among the brigade commanders, Li Chang, Hu Laohu and Lei Ming, were all the people who spoke without any taboos, and were all anxious when they were fighting without a war, and they had a strong sense of fighting. Hu Laohu was compared to the artillery headquarters.
Commander Li Chang was a little better. If Li Chang was there, he felt that if he didn't talk about Xiao Zheng and pee, he might say Director Xiao Tang or something. He had to let Liu Yimin kick him in the butt before he could stop talking.
Bao Wen, the political commissar of the Cavalry Brigade, was a bit like Luo Ronghuan, and was more rigorous. When Hu Laohu started talking nonsense, he didn't stop him, but just stood aside and smiled dumbly.
Liu Yimin likes Hu Laohu, and Li Chang's optimistic and warlike temperament of a fierce general, saw Hu Laohu bragging, and said with a smile: "If you can twist Hata Shunruo's head off and serve as a chamber pot for me, then the War of Resistance will be over soon
Now.”
When Hu Laohu heard this, he immediately said, "Teacher, this is not a bragging. If you ask me to take the special forces to Nanjing, I promise to fight the Japanese devils, and it is a piece of cake to twist Hata Shunji's head.
I know, the special forces soldiers are very powerful, and their skills are definitely eye-opening!"
Luo Ronghuan knew that it must be the special forces led by Wang Tongsheng that they had cooperated with the cavalry brigade to fight, otherwise Hu Laohu would not have looked at the pot and wanted to take the special forces to Nanjing.
Looking at Hu Laohu's excited face, Luo Ronghuan said: "Comrade Hu Laohu, stop talking nonsense. You should quickly report the preparations for the cavalry brigade. How is the casualties? Do you need to supplement it?"
Hu Laohu knew that Luo Ronghuan was serious and immediately saluted again. Then he reported: "The mission of the Cavalry Brigade is to cooperate with the Eighth Brigade to carry out a cold gun and cold artillery campaign against the enemies along the eastern section of Longhai Road, and all the people were fired with cold guns and small ambush.
In the war, there were basically no major casualties, but the seizures were abundant and there was no need for any supplements."
While several people were talking, Zhao Shan, the commander of the 8th Brigade, and Zhao Jie, the political commissar, also rushed to the division headquarters to receive the combat mission.
Zhao Shan is a commander with both offense and defense. When he was the battalion commander of the Lao Fifth Battalion, the Lao Fifth Battalion was the first choice for the defense operations of the Red 18th Regiment. Basically, it was Liu Yimin who considered the need for defense operations.
He will be thought of whenever he is.
After Zhao Shan and Zhao Jie saluted, Liu Yimin asked about the preparations for the troops, and then explained the idea of ​​launching the Jiaoji Road Battle, and asked Zhang Linfeng, deputy director of the General Staff Department, to give Hu Laohu the combat plan, Zhao Shan and others gave the battle plan in detail.
. At the end, Liu Yimin told the leaders of the two brigades that other troops had already started to operate. The reason why the division headquarters was still in the big restaurant was to wait for them. They asked them to go back and prepare immediately. Two hours later, they would set off with the division headquarters and rushed
Go to the planned combat area.
Zhao Shan, Zhao Jie, Hu Laohu, and Bao Wen were going to go with the division headquarters in two hours after hearing this, and he didn't dare to delay any more and said goodbye immediately.
It was soon time to set off. Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong walked out of the division headquarters and led the guard regiment and the division headquarters to quietly leave Dadian Town. After joining the Eighth Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade outside the town, he took advantage of the night to rush.
Swing northward.
Chapter completed!
