Chapter two hundred and ninety-six comprehensive counter-offensive
Jiang Huangyong suggested that Ouyang Yun ask Lu Hanni to accompany him to Cairo, which immediately upset Gu Lianyun's jealousy. Ouyang Yun felt bad when he saw this, so he quickly changed the subject and expressed his worries.
Jiang Huangyong glanced at Gu Lianyun cautiously, and seeing that she still had a cold expression on her face, he coughed twice and said: "The worry of the junior officer is reasonable. After all, we still belong to the National Government in name. Well, is that okay? Call me to ask for instructions to show respect, and let the U.S. government seal the cable to explain."
Chen Shichang nodded and said: "It is necessary to call Chongqing, but no matter what Chongqing's attitude is, the Commander-in-Chief must go there. Commander-in-Chief, I suddenly thought of a question. The Japanese will focus their attack on the southeastern front. What is the motive? Could it be that they are coming to our Pacific Fleet?"
Ouyang Yun didn't think much about this issue. Knowing Koizumi's identity as a time traveler, he could naturally think through Koizumi's motivations for doing this. Wasn't it just for Australia's resources? After the Japanese army occupied the Dutch East Indies, it was basically solved. The oil and rubber problems have been solved, and if Australia can be captured again, the metal resource dilemma can also be solved. "This Koizumi is really a scourge. It's a pity that he couldn't be killed at the beginning." He thought this way, and then speculated. He glanced at Gu Lianyun thoughtfully and said slowly: "No matter what the intentions of the Japanese are, one thing is certain, if they are allowed to occupy Australia, it will definitely not be a good thing for our Pacific Fleet." At this point, He suddenly remembered something and asked Gu Lianyun: "Lianyun, has the Japanese agency in New Delhi investigated it clearly?"
Gu Lianyun was still in a state of anger. She did not answer Ouyang Yun's question immediately, but said seriously: "I don't allow Lu Hanni to go with her."
Jiang Huangyong, the instigator, could not help but shrink his neck, while Chen Shichang shook his head noncommittally, looked at Ouyang Yun and said in his heart: No one is perfect. If the commander-in-chief is not lewd, then he will be perfect.
Ouyang Yun smiled awkwardly, touched his nose and said, "Let's get down to business."
Gu Lianyun quit and raised an eyebrow: "This is not a serious matter."
Ouyang Yun quickly apologized and smiled: "It's business, of course it's business."
Gu Lianyun gave him a sharp look and then said: "It has been found out that the head of the agency is Koga Hoichi, Vice Admiral of the Japanese Navy."
Ouyang Yun was a little surprised and said: "It seems that the Japanese attach great importance to it. They actually sent a lieutenant general to do it. Well, it seems that we need to strengthen our vigilance. I thought the Japanese had forgotten us."
"How is this possible? Japan is in today's situation. The aircraft carrier is the main contributor. But don't worry too much. If you use it well, it can paralyze the Japanese people. Ouyang, do you remember the assassination team?"
"Of course, each of them is our hero." Ouyang Yun said solemnly. Suddenly he rolled his eyes, looked at Gu Lianyun and said in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Gu Lianyun nodded,
"Which one is it?" Ouyang Yun showed a smile on his face,
"For security reasons, I did not ask him to provide his true identity, and there is no need."
Chen Shichang and Jiang Huangyong had both heard about the assassination team. They exchanged puzzled looks, and Jiang Huangyong asked: "Could it be the two combat teams sent to Japan to assassinate Koizumi Minichiro."
"Yes, many of them survived. This is top secret. Just forget it after you leave this door." Ouyang Yun warned sternly,
Chen and Jiang nodded to express their understanding.
Diverting from this topic, several people chatted for a while about going to Cairo to attend the meeting. Finally, they talked about the issue of the French Resistance Army. Chen Shichang suggested that the status of the French Resistance Army be raised at this meeting, so as to Strengthen Angpos's determination to participate in the Allied war,
It was absolutely the right choice for Roosevelt and Churchill to give up on the old Chiang Kai-shek route and instead concentrate on cooperating with the cadet army. Regardless of the Seventh Expeditionary Corps, which was still nervously preparing for war in the Arabian Sea, just talking about land, with Ouyang Yun and Marshal Zhang After the cooperation matters were negotiated, the Indochina Peninsula was now completely under the control of the student army. As long as Ouyang Yun was willing, he could expel the Japanese army and their retinue troops in western Myanmar. This not only helped China stabilize the southwest , the two rear areas in the southeast also shared considerable pressure on the British Far East.
Just when Ouyang Yun was about to fly to Cairo, the Xuebing Army's counterattack against the Japanese New Year's Day strategy began. The Fifth Xue Division and two guerrilla columns under the Second Army of Northwest Zhejiang and Southern Zhejiang were under the leadership of Gao Yongxiang, the commander of the Fifth Xue Division. Under the command, they first occupied Jixi County, and then advanced towards Ningguo County. In the direction of Hangzhou, the 10th Xue Brigade and the 11th Xue Brigade, under the command of Xiang Ke and Zhang Rentian, successively captured Fuyang and Lin'an, directly forcing the remnants of the Japanese army and the 1st Co-Prosperity Army in Hangzhou City. The troops had to retreat towards Jiaxing. With the support of the Combined Fleet Air Force, the entire army was not wiped out. In the Santai area, Matsui Tairo's troops were able to capture the Santai area at the cost of more than 1,000 Japanese troops and 2,000 Peace Corps casualties. Port terminal, and Nishio Hiszog was even worse. Because he lost more than 4,000 men and several warships in the battle of Jiangxinzhou, he was directly dismissed from his post and recalled to Japan. At this point, the Japanese army's New Year's strategy ended in a heavy defeat and had to It once again shifted to comprehensive defense, and Matsui's fifth division was also strengthened to the direction of Xuancheng to prevent the Xuebing Army from taking advantage of the situation and entering Anhui territory.
The Japanese army began to shrink its defense line and switch from offense to defense, but the Xuebing Army did not stop there. The recapture of Hangzhou had a domino effect. The once steady and steady Taiwan Strait Third Army Rao Guohua Department suddenly became crazy. They started with a The tank brigade was the vanguard. With the help of local guerrilla troops, it first swept through a Japanese regiment stationed in Panyang County, and then swept across southern Jiangxi. The troops went straight to Nanchang.
There is a reason why Rao Guohua's troops suddenly became so radical. Affected by the Xiaoshan counterattack, Jiang Guangnai specifically proposed during a regular military meeting: The general headquarters' order to the Second Army was to defend Xiaoshan. But look, they not only They defended Xiaoshan, severely damaged the main forces of the three Japanese divisions, and also recovered Hangzhou, Jixi, Fuyang, and Lin'an. I think it will be a matter of time for them to recover Zhejiang. Everyone, we are responsible for the attack. If we can't If you regain the entire territory of Jiangxi, do you still have the nerve to come back? Beat me, beat me hard. I will never withdraw my troops until I regain the entire territory of Jiangxi.
Jiang Guangnai was quite dissatisfied with his elders, and Li Tieshu and Ji Xingwen naturally had nothing to say. Moreover, affected by the series of victories achieved by the Second Army of Southern Zhejiang, both the gentry and ordinary people in the Xuebing Army were shouting and beating, even if it was to appease The people are in high spirits, and it is necessary for them to implement their original strategy to the end.
So the Guangzhou First Army also dispatched two divisions, left Shaoguan and rushed to Ganzhou. After a short rest in Ganzhou, they directly launched an attack on the Hengyang line.
At this point, the New Year's Raiders triggered by the Japanese army began to enter a new stage, and the Xuebing Army's all-out counterattack began.
