Chen Yu, the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency, is giving an intelligence report to An Yi, Defense Minister Hu Jialin, Deputy Chiefs of General Staff Yang Fei, Huang Zhihe Yang Jie, Secretary-General of the Military Commission Deng Bin, Director of the General Office of the Central Military Commission Zhao Dongquan, Minister of National Security Du Yi, General Staff Intelligence
Department Minister Liu Qing, Operations Department Minister Liu Yu, and Garrison Area Commander An Jin attended the meeting.
"North China is a relatively solid place for our CIA's intelligence work. As early as 2028, when the Second Northern Expedition was victorious, the Chairman was assassinated by a communist agent during a speech in Peking. After twelve years of development, China is currently sending troops
We have people from both the North China Front and the North China Front. In addition, the intelligence stations in Pingxi and Tianjin are also relatively effective in their work. Basically, they can get first-hand information on most information!
"I have here the latest situation report from the Tianjin Intelligence Station: After Wang Jingwei arrived in Tianjin, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Pacific War, the Japanese base camp strictly prohibited all actions that might irritate the Nanjing government. The originally popular Wang Jingwei and his followers,
He was suddenly given a cold reception and has not yet reached any agreement with Japan. However, as the war in the Central Plains resumed on the 11th, it was no longer possible to maintain the previous peace between China and Japan, and the importance of Wang Jingwei was mentioned again.
"It is reported that the commander-in-chief of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji, made suggestions to the Japanese emperor and the cabinet that Wang Jingwei's prestige within the Communist Party should be fully utilized to win over peace-advocating officials in the National Government, split Japan, and create a new foundation for Japan
Overall strategic services. I don’t know the specific approval from the *** government yet, but I believe the results will come out soon!”
"I know, don't mention this dirty little guy again!"
An Yi shook his head and then said: "Let me first talk about the offensive launched by the Fifth Theater in compliance with Chairman Chiang's order! Judging from all circumstances, the results were extremely brilliant, and Lincheng, Zaozhuang, etc. in southern Shandong were recaptured in one fell swoop.
In important towns, the war is spreading to central Shandong. So far, the Japanese counterattack has been weak.
"As soon as I got off the plane this morning, I received a telegram from General Li Delin, commander of the Fifth Theater Region, full of praise for the performance of the 84th Army that has received our training..."
Seeing the puzzled expressions of all the generals, An Yi smiled and said:
"I was confused at first, but later I remembered that the Eighty-fourth Army was not the original designation. General Xia Wei of the Guangxi Army had been stationed in Qinzhou, Fangcheng, Hepu and Beihai for a long time. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War,
, In order to ensure the safety of the Beibu Gulf and maintain the smooth flow of the southwest seaport, we held a joint exercise of the army, navy and air force at Qinzhou Port. After the exercise, we supported a batch of weapons and equipment to the Gui army, less than half of which fell into the Xia Dynasty.
In powerful hands.
"As the Japanese army invaded the southeastern coastal areas, Qinzhou Port became our only window to the outside world. Therefore, we once deployed heavy troops in Qinzhou Port, up to five independent brigades. Later, Nanhua was established, and we had more choices.
We just reduced the troops in Qinzhou, leaving only one brigade stationed there, which is now the Qinzhou Garrison Brigade.
"Due to visiting exercises and from our army's previous battles with the Japanese, the generals of the Guangxi Army have seen the power of modern warfare, so they frequently conducted training with our Qinzhou garrison. The skills and tactics of the Guangxi officers and soldiers improved rapidly! Sanqi
During the Battle of Songhu in 2001, the Gui Army was newly organized into the 131st, 188th, and 1st *** Divisions based on troops from the above areas. Later, it was organized into the 84th Army.
"In the fifth theater, the 84th Army of the Guangxi Faction and the 81st Army of Chen Zhibiao, which are closely related to us, are the two main trump cards. Unfortunately, in 1938, Chen Zhibiao was attracted by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and changed defenses in the army.
At that time, he suddenly went south, led the troops across the Yangtze River, joined the third theater sequence, and was ordered to form the 45th Group Army..."
Hearing the traitor's name, An Jin suddenly interrupted:
"This Chen Zhibiao is two-faced and double-dealing, comparable to Lu Bu in history! I heard that in order to abduct the 81st Army, he took great pains and ordered the troops to turn off all radio stations when they moved in, and relied on the communication troops to transmit the orders. It was enough
It took half a month to reach the Yangtze River.
"When the troops arrived in Shanghai and the communication radio station contacted the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone, the officers and soldiers of the Guangxi clique realized that they had been deceived. Chen Zhibiao thought that he had led the troops for many years and had a greater influence on the 81st Army, but he did not expect that the Guangxi clique
Not many people at the top and bottom sold his account, so they immediately bombed the camp when they found out they had been deceived. At the same time, Chief Li Zongren sent a telegram to condemn Chen Zhibiao's evil deeds, asking the central government to severely punish this bad behavior, so as to calm the hearts of the anti-Japanese soldiers.
"As a result, there were nearly 40,000 people in the three divisions. In the end, Chen Zhibiao had less than 5,000 people left. Moreover, these 5,000 people were newly recruited in North China. They only chose to get the meager salary of the Central Army to make a living.
Stay. I have been a general for many years, but I don’t have many close friends around me. Even if I can’t know my enemy, I should be a confidant, right? It turned out to be such a big joke. I really don’t know what Chairman Chiang likes in him...
....”
"Xiao Jin!"
An Yi glared at his brother who was not covering up his mouth and said: "Although Chen Zhibiao's character is not good, he still has some abilities. When our model camp was expanded into an independent regiment, it had five battalions, and Jinan was the model camp.
The battalion commanders are Xia Jian, the first battalion commander, Ye Cheng, the second battalion commander, Hu Tou, the fourth battalion commander, and Chen Zhibiao, the third battalion commander. If Chen Zhibiao is incompetent, can I trust him to lead the troops? Do you want to say that I also
No vision?"
When An Jin heard this, he stuck out his tongue, laughed and stopped talking!
An Yi stood up, paced back and forth, and fell into reminiscing about the past:
"Due to the Guangxi clique's calculations, the Independent Division was defeated miserably in Jiangbei. All our soldiers were put in desperate situations. Chen Zhibiao's grandson couldn't stand the test and left us. Although it was a blow to my self-confidence, it did not necessarily purify the team.
?Through the waves, look at the achievements of Ji Nan, Hu Tou, Xia Jian, and Ye Cheng now, and then look at the current situation of Chen Zhibiao who was on par with them, doesn't it make people lament the impermanence of the world?
"Xiao Jin, you are looking down on Chen Zhibiao. This man is very ambitious. He actually knows very well that it is impossible to cultivate confidants in the Guangxi clique, so he has not made any efforts at all. The Gui clique is different from other warlords. The personnel of the Guangxi clique are almost all Guangxi.
people, people from other provinces simply cannot integrate into this circle, even for a while
If you participate, you will be suppressed. Chen Zhibiao was promoted immediately after joining the Guangxi clique in 2007, but he has never been reused. Li Delin and others have always used him as an instructor to train soldiers. Even if he is the instructor commander, this unit will not
Never transfer to the front line, this will prevent Chen Zhibiao from making contributions!
"Chen Zhibiao knew very well that he had become a deserter. If he had not learned the skills of training soldiers in the independent division, I am afraid that Li and Bai would not even have given him a job as a trainer, so he could only hide his capabilities and bide his time. The Guangxi army is not like
In other troops, even if officers and soldiers suffered serious
Any losses will be returned to Guangxi for repairs, and people from other provinces will rarely be replenished. Before soldiers are called into the army, they have received relatively systematic primary military training in their hometowns. Most of the lower-level officers are graduates of the Guangxi Military Academy.
, the local concept is very strong!
"I guess Chen Zhibiao had already thought about the consequences before taking his troops to join Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, but he had to take a chance. Fortunately, Chairman Chiang also wanted to buy bones with a lot of money, so he just turned the Eighth Route Army into an empty frame in an instant.
The Eleventh Army was fully replenished, and then a reorganized Hunan Army was forced into it, and the frame of the Forty-fifth Army was set up!
"This Chen Zhibiao has won his bet! When he served as the commander of the teaching division of the Guangxi Clan, his military rank was major general. Later, the army was expanded into an army, and Li Delin won him the rank of lieutenant general. Now he serves as the commander-in-chief of the group army, and the lieutenant general plus
With the rank of general, he achieved a triple jump in just over three years, which is considered his blessing! However, the 81st Army has been completely destroyed! I don’t know how long it will take to restore its combat effectiveness!"
An Yi's words made the conference room sigh.
Among the people present, except for An Yi and Hu Jialin, even Deputy Chief of General Staff Yang Fei is not as senior as Chen Zhibiao, let alone others. If Chen Zhibiao is still in Anjiajun at this moment, at least he will be
Like Gu Changfeng, Xia Jian and the others, they would be on their own. How could they be in such a mess like now?
An Yi was also sighing in his heart. When he suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that Chen Zhibiao should be reused, he might not have had good intentions. He didn't mind playing tricks on someone who had betrayed him. He originally thought that Chen Zhibiao would be able to draw water from a bamboo basket.
It was all in vain, but I didn’t expect it
Even when the troops mutinied, Chiang Kai-shek still gave Chen Zhibiao enough trust. From this point of view, Chiang Kai-shek was indeed tolerant and magnanimous, which was also the reason why he could sit on the top spot in China - as long as he was truly talented, he would dare to use it.
.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic!"
An Yi returned to his seat and sat down, and said to Chen Yu: "Director Chen, tell me about the situation in North China and the Central Plains! I want to know now, how the Japanese army responded to the sudden attack in the fifth theater?"
Chen Yu nodded, glanced at the file in his hand, and said loudly:
"The day before yesterday, Shunroku Tsukuda convened a meeting with the generals of the dispatched army in Peiping to discuss response matters. After the meeting, the minutes of the meeting will be reported to the Japanese base camp. Originally, the dispatched army thought that the call would be restored soon. Who knew that it was not confirmed until yesterday afternoon?
Reply, the Japanese base camp has decided to mobilize the Kwantung Army to enter the country to participate in the war..."
Everyone's expressions changed.
Hu Jialin asked with concern: "Do you know how many divisions have entered the customs?"
"There are thirteen divisions in the first stage. If the battle situation is unfavorable, we will continue to add more until we gain the initiative on the battlefield!" Chen Yu replied solemnly: "It is reported that the dispatched army headquarters has already dispatched the third tank.
The division went south to join the war. The Japanese tank division consisted of four battalions, 300 tanks, and a total of 18,000 men. With such a huge mechanized force entering the battlefield in the Central Plains, I am worried that something will go wrong!"
"There are problems, but if the frontline commanders respond appropriately, the Fifth Theater Zone's strength, which is several times that of the Japanese army, should be able to cope with it!"
Yang Fei analyzed: "The terrain in Shandong is dominated by mountains and hills. The landform types include mountains, hills, terraces, basins, plains, lakes and other types. Especially in the central and southern areas currently at war, most areas have average altitudes.
At about 500 meters, there are only Mount Tai, Mount Yi and Mount Meng.
, Lushan and a few other mountains stand on the mountains, forming the middle ridge of the mountainous terrain. This kind of terrain is not suitable for mechanized corps operations at all. As long as the front-line generals pay more attention to the battle and build certain anti-tank trenches, and at the same time, they are equipped with the trenches we provide.
Anti-artillery and anti-tank mines are not a big problem!”
"not necessarily!"
Yang Jie had a different view: "Don't just focus on central and southern Shandong. The enemy may also invest tank troops in the western Shandong area. The western Shandong Plain was originally part of the Huanghuai Plain and was formed by the alluvial deposits of the Yellow River.
The altitude is generally around fifty meters
The Japanese army can completely send tanks to Jining by railway, and then set up a pontoon bridge on a certain section of the canal. After the armored troops have crossed the Grand Canal, they can attack the Longhai Railway directly, intimidate northern Jiangsu and eastern Henan, and use the strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao to liberate southern Shandong.
And the siege of southeastern Shandong."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"
Huang Zhi nodded, and then changed the subject: "However, the Chairman of the Generalissimo now has more than two million troops in northern Jiangsu and eastern Henan, nearly half of them are 'armormen', equipped with a large number of artillery, combat defense artillery
And mortars, their firepower is only stronger than that of the Japanese army. The only thing to note is that air superiority may not be guaranteed!
"Since the victory in the Songhu Battle at the end of 1937, the Central Air Force has stood still. In addition to some of the A26 fighters we originally donated, the fighters ordered by the Aviation Committee led by Zhou Zhirou are the cheapest GI, Mosquito and A25 fighters, and the bombers are B1
, b2 and hi (H-1) modified from Yun 1 are mainly used. Although we also vigorously promote a26 and a27, the aviation committee believes that the price is too expensive and cannot be afforded after study!
"So far, the Central Air Force has 726 fighter jets, 634 bombers, and 162 reconnaissance aircraft. In terms of number, it far exceeds the Japanese Air Force! However, the Japanese Air Force
Although the First Flight Regiment only has 790 fighters, it is equipped with Falcon fighter jets, Zero fighter jets and the latest Feiyan fighter jets. The Falcon fighter jets and Zero fighter jets already have these fighters equipped by the Central Army Air Force.
It has certain advantages, but what is even more terrifying is the newly developed Feiyan fighter jet.
"I heard that there are two versions of this Feiyan fighter, using German liquid-cooled engines and advanced air-cooled engines respectively. Although the technology is not yet mature and there are many problems, it has a speed of up to 580 kilometers per hour and an altitude of 12,000 meters.
The space limit,16.8
The climb rate of meters per second is very amazing. Its overall performance has surpassed our A27 fighter jet. Although it is not as good as the A28, A29 and GII fighter jets, it is more than enough to deal with the A25 and Mosquito fighter jets currently equipped in large numbers by the Central Military and Air Force.
!”
"yes!"
An Yi sighed longly: "The quantity may seem scary, but because Jianghan Oilfield and Nanyang Oilfield were not exploited before, and only Yumen Oilfield provided oil, fuel supply was extremely difficult, so the Aviation Commission strictly controlled the training of the Central Air Force
The fuel used, the pilots' flying and training time were pitiful, and their actual combat experience was almost zero. Under such conditions, it would be very difficult to deal with the Japanese!
"I had considered this issue on the way back. After returning to Xiaonanhai, I immediately called Chairman Chiang and requested to send a brigade of fighter planes to Bengbu Airport to support the Central Air Force's operations, but was rejected. The Chairman said that the Central Air Force
I have the confidence to face challenges on my own, and I will definitely defeat the *** with absolute superiority and give an explanation at home and abroad!"
An Yi's answer silenced the conference room.
Now Chiang Kai-shek has reached the point of keeping secrets about An Yi and the army he leads, for fear that An Yi will once again use victory to expand his reputation and greatly affect his position.
Today's "Central Daily News" and Nanjing Radio Station cover almost all news in Nanhua. However, due to the existence of Xufu and Nanjing Radio Station, coupled with the "Oriental Daily News" whose circulation is far higher than that of "Central Daily News",
News", it can be said that *** was very unsuccessful.
An Jiajun's expansion of territory has greatly boosted the aspirations of the Chinese people. Many people proudly call An Jiajun "our army." Of course, not all praise is given. There are also some political parties and individuals who believe that An Jiajun's behavior
It is an "imperialist act" and the occupation of Central Asia, Afghanistan and West Asia is a "naked aggression" and an "atrocity against humanity". It is the same as Britain, France, Japan, etc., and should be resolutely condemned and stopped.
!
A newspaper even wrote an article claiming that since An Yi has established an independent country, why does it still stay in the southwest? Is this patriotism or hegemonism? Who gave another country the right to mine, build factories, and plunder resources crazily on Chinese soil?
, squeezing the blood and sweat of working people?
It has to be said that this kind of remarks has greatly influenced a group of people. Nowadays, hot-headed young people are often bewitched and go to the offices of Jiangnan Group, Dongfang Group and Sichuan South Group to protest, even though the staff have repeatedly explained that this is to
For the people, for the people, all resources were used for the anti-Japanese and national causes, but there were still people who didn't understand, which made An Yi once doubt whether his original choice was correct!
However, as one of An Yi's father-in-law's think tanks, Jiang Yunshan analyzed An Yi's situation at the end of 1937 when he sought his advice - because he led his troops to victory in the Battle of Songhu, Chiang Kai-shek was already deeply wary of An Yi at that time.
, introducing Xu Ziliang to him was actually a kind of test. If An Yi did not choose to develop outwards, he would most likely be fully suppressed by Chiang Kai-shek!
Chiang Kai-shek was sure that An Yi was unwilling to fight a civil war, which would benefit the Japanese fishermen, and he was very confident that An Yi would follow the path he set. Sure enough, An Yi was aware of Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, and then An Jiajun "succeeded"
"Invite" to enter Annan and "liberate" the people there! Later, Annan, which had just become independent, needed a righteous name, and founding the country was the best choice to deal with all this!
Judging from the current results, this choice has greatly stimulated and promoted the development of Anyi Group. At first, it was limited to one place, production and resources were severely constrained, and production capacity could not be increased. Once it was loosened, industry and agriculture would immediately
Showing explosive expansion!
After more than ten years of development, Anyi Group's accumulation of science and technology and industry has reached a limit, and its talent reserve has also reached its peak. The only thing needed is a place to release it all. In the northwest, Lianghu and Jiangnan regions,
It is simply impossible. Chiang Kai-shek will never allow the Anyi Group to cross the line and threaten his status, so it can only be Annan!
Enter Annan and turn it into a place for the Chinese. Let the fertile land here produce three crops a year, completely solve China's periodic food shortage problem, let the rich resources here serve the rise of China, and let the nation here,
Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan, and try to minimize the harm to your mother’s nation in the future!
Without the founding of Nanhua, the number of Anjiajun would not have exploded. They would always be able to huddle in a corner of the southwest and act as a local warlord force. Even if they were able to send troops to Central Asia later, they would not have enough food and strategic materials to do so.
Support frontline operations.
Without the industry and oil in Central Asia, there would be no expansion of the mechanized troops of the Anjia Army, let alone the feat of sending troops to Afghanistan, the Persian Gulf and India. Fundamentally speaking, it was An Yi who chose Nanhua, and it was Nanhua that created what it is today.
An Yi and the army he led.
"As long as you have a clear conscience!"
Jiang Yunshan comforted An Yi like this: "Nanhua is just a symbol, a formalistic thing. This should not be your fetters, but should be your motivation. In the past, a country that was insulted by Westerners as a country of yellow-skinned pigs
Will a leader's visit to the United States win such respect? There is no other reason than strength! The better we develop in the future, the higher the status of the Chinese in the United States will be. This is our responsibility!
"If you are not satisfied with the current name of the country, you can use China to order it if you need it in the future. Even if you don't want to compete with Chairman Chiang for supremacy, the territory under our jurisdiction does not include southwest and other places, but we can still use China
The homeland of the country, such as the Far East, Central Asia, and South China, is organized into an independent country with the Chinese nation as the main body, such as the Federal Republic of China. This is a pretty good name.
"As long as the country is dominated by the Chinese nation, what's wrong with calling it China? In the future, if we support several countries with Chinese names in Southeast Asia, it will be even more exciting! The rise of the Chinese nation must not rely solely on a certain group.
We may be more effective if we stay out of the situation as a detached person! Think about it, what we have now
Annan and Siam are already the best granaries for our nation's right to survival. If we occupy the Burmese plain and the Ganges plain in the future, will we still be likely to have famine? If there is a greater risk in the areas controlled by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek
If we vigorously assist in natural disasters and strive not to starve to death, then it will be worth it!
"Xiaoyi, please don't get into trouble. We have reached this point now. We can only go on unswervingly until the Chinese nation stands at the top of the world. This is what we should do!"
An Yi's thoughts were overwhelming. He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the blue lake in the north. He stood there for a while, then suddenly turned his head and ordered:
"Liu Yu, even if your war department comes up with plans for various situations, no matter what, we will not allow situations beyond our control! We must go ahead if there are conditions, and we must go ahead even if there are no conditions. In short, we cannot sit back and watch the country fall! We are not for someone
We serve an individual, a certain family, or a certain political party, we serve our own conscience!"
"yes!"
Liu Yu stood up with some excitement and respectfully saluted An Yi with a military salute.
At this moment, when the generals in the conference room saw An Yi's resolute expression, they seemed to have returned to the days when they were soldiers and horses...
