It's time to go to Taihang Mountain, Yue Weihan thought viciously in his heart.
The general trend of history did not change greatly because of Yue Weihan's efforts. In the three major battles in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Communist Party of China was defeated without any suspense. With the existence of Chairman Chiang, an inferior commander, the Communist Party of China soldiers were brave and good at fighting.
, it can only be in vain, no matter how hard Yue Weihan tries, it can only be a fool's errand.
Besides, now is indeed the best time to retreat to the Jingxing Mountain area and establish an anti-Japanese base area.
The Japanese army has captured Wuhan and Jiujiang, and will definitely continue to invade the south. The best outcome is that the Japanese army will stop in Hunan due to lack of strength. The worst outcome is that the Japanese army will take advantage of the situation and sweep across the southwest, reaching Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. At that time,
Chairman Chiang had no choice but to stay in Sichuan and become the Lord of Shu.
But no matter what the outcome is, it will be impossible for the Japanese army to mobilize heavy troops to deal with the New Sixth Army for at least two months.
Therefore, the New Sixth Army still has at least two months to operate the anti-Japanese base area in Jingxing Mountain District.
Two months was enough time for Yue Weihan and the New Sixth Army to do a lot of things. Yue Weihan was confident enough to make the Jingxing Mountain area impregnable before the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops to sweep them away.
As for the Japanese 6th and 13th Divisions, they may not dare to invade the Jingxing Mountain District!
The tragedy of the Japanese 20th Division happened not long ago. Yue Weihan didn't believe that the Japanese 6th and 13th Divisions still had the guts to rush into the Jingxing Mountain area! In Yue Weihan's view, the two Japanese divisions would most likely recover after retaking Shimen and Zhengding.
Seize the opportunity to rest and replenish, while ensuring the smooth flow of the Ping-Han Railway.
In short, it is unlikely that the New Sixth Army will be provoked until the Japanese 6th and 13th Divisions recover their strength.
Of course, if the commanders of the two Japanese armies were blind and wanted to use Yue Weihan and the New Sixth Army as their stepping stones, then Yue Weihan would never mind fighting a large-scale mobile war in the Jingxing Mountains. He would not dare to completely annihilate the two Japanese armies.
It is said that it is absolutely no problem to eat up three or five Japanese infantry regiments.
Henan, Mi County.
Directly under the Central Military Commission is the Corps and the Corps Headquarters.
General Xue Yue sat back in his chair slumped, and the telegram in his hand fell to the ground.
Wuhan was lost! What’s even more unbelievable is that Jiujiang was also lost!
How can it be so embarrassing for the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the directly affiliated corps to have fought hard for nearly half a month but have produced such a result?
General Xue Yue has always been loyal to Chairman Chiang, but now he can't help but feel resentful: What a substandard commander!
The fall of Jiujiang made the bloody persistence of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Xue Yue Corps suddenly worthless. If not for the fall of Jiujiang, the main force of the Japanese Central China Front would never have dared to go south rashly, because if the Japanese army did so, the Xue Yue Corps would
We will cut off their retreat without hesitation, and the Japanese army will become the turtle in the urn!
However, now that Jiujiang has been lost, the Yangtze River waterway will soon be opened by the Japanese army.
It is meaningless for the Xue Yue Corps to continue to hold on to Dengfeng and Mi County. Even if they hold on for another two months, they will never be able to wait until the moment when the Japanese army runs out of ammunition and food.
After a long time, General Xue Yue sighed and said to the chief of staff beside him: "Get ready to break out."
North Henan, Anyang.
The main forces of the Japanese 6th and 13th Divisions are marching northward along the highway.
Lieutenant General Tada Shun, commander of the Northbound Cluster, Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, commander of the Japanese 6th Division, and Lieutenant General Susu Tatehei, commander of the 13th Division, stood on the slope next to the road.
, watching the army pass by their feet in a mighty manner. As members of the Imperial Army, the three of them all liked the wonderful feeling of commanding thousands of troops and crossing the enemy's territory.
Amidst the rapid footsteps, the 6th Division Chief of Staff Shimoichi Huo Dazuo had already hurried up the slope.
"General!" Shimono Ichiho suddenly stopped his feet, paid tribute to Lieutenant General Tada Shun, and then said, "The 45th Infantry Regiment reported that the Chinese Army suddenly gave up on going south and turned back to Shimen!"
"Well, give up and go south?"
"Returning to Shimen is not a scam, right?"
The first reaction of Hisao Tani and Hōsu Ryū was that there was a scam.
There is no way, for the majority of Japanese officers and soldiers, Yue Weihan's reputation is too great. In addition, the Baoshan Division just severely damaged the 20th Division not long ago, and now, Yue Weihan has 50,000 to 60,000 elite soldiers of the New Sixth Army.
There is absolutely no reason to be timid, and it is not like Yue Weihan's style to avoid fighting. This is too weird.
But Jun Tada said thoughtfully: "It seems that Wuhan has achieved results."
As soon as he finished speaking, the major staff officer hurriedly climbed up the slope, immediately put his feet back and stood at attention, and reported to Shun Tada: "Your Excellency, General, the front army headquarters has urgently reported the battle situation. The Third Army has captured Wuhan at 12 noon today.
, the Eleventh Army also captured Jiujiang at 1:00 this afternoon."
Jun Tada nodded and said: "It seems that Yue Weihan is planning to abandon guarding Shimen."
"Abandon guarding Shimen?" Huozhou Libing said, "Tada-kun, are you going north more quickly and take advantage of the situation to pursue us?"
"No." Tada Shun raised his hand to stop him, "The 6th and 13th Divisions have just experienced the Battle of Wuhan, and the officers and soldiers are exhausted, but the New Sixth Army has just severely damaged the 20th Division, and the troops are at their peak.
It is really not the right time to engage in a decisive battle with the New Sixth Army at this time. It is better to retake Shimen without any blood and then talk about Zhengding."
Hisao Tani said coldly: "Tada-kun, you are afraid of the enemy and afraid of fighting!"
"Taniju-kun!" Tada Junya retorted coldly, "Please be careful with your words, I am the commander of the northbound cluster!"
Hisao Tani said nothing more, but when he looked at Tada Shun again, Hisao Tani's eyes were full of disdain.
Speaking of which, Hisao Tani is the same age as Shun Tada, and both have the rank of lieutenant general. However, Shun Tada only served as the division commander of the 11th Division for less than a year, while Hisao Tani served as the commander of the 6th Division for three years.
division commander, so Hisao Tani was dissatisfied with the appointment of Shun Tada as the commander of the Northward Group by the Front Army Headquarters.
Jingxing County, Baoshan Division left-behind headquarters.
Liu Yi has received a telegram from Yue Weihan and is convening a meeting with Li Qinglong, commander of the 1st Regiment, and Major Zhao Xinyi, deputy commander of the Secret Service Regiment and captain of the propaganda team.
After conveying the order, Liu Yi said to Zhao Xinyi: "Captain Zhao, the process of moving equipment must be accelerated!"
Zhao Xinyi thought for a while and said: "Come on, if you just rush to transport all the equipment from Shimen, Zhengding major factories and Zhengding Railway Station to Jingxing County, three days will be enough, but if you want to transport the equipment into Cang
It will take at least half a month to reach the Yanshan, Woniu Mountain and Sendai Mountain areas."
Liu Yi thought for a while and then made a decision: "Then we will rush to transport it to Jingxing County first."
"Okay." Zhao Xinyi immediately stood up and said, "I'll contact the police right away."
Watching Zhao Xinyi's figure go away, Liu Yi said to Li Qinglong: "Li Qinglong, we must hurry up to build the prisoner of war concentration camp. We must not delay it until the two Japanese master regiments arrive at Shimen. Don't worry about the Geneva Convention, you can just do it."
These little devils are treated like livestock and driven to death, they will die from exhaustion!"
"Yes." Li Qinglong stood upright and said with a ferocious voice, "Just wait and see, within three days, the three prisoner-of-war concentration camps in Cangyan Mountain, Woniu Mountain and Xiantai Mountain will be repaired."

"Weiguo? Weiguo!" Song Renqiong shouted loudly and walked into the war room. When he saw Yue Weiguo studying the map as if nothing happened, he sat down opposite him and cursed with a smile, "Yue Weiguo, you are hiding deep enough.
Ah? If I hadn’t spent time with you in the snowy mountains and meadows, I would have suspected that you were a spy of the Communist Party of China."
Yue Weiguo raised his head when he heard the sound and said blankly: "Political Commissar, what did you say?"
"You kid." Song Ren smiled and scolded, "Pretend, then pretend for me."
"What are you pretending to be?" Yue Weiguo frowned, "Political Commissar, I really don't know what you are talking about?"
Song Renqiong rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Boy, do you have five brothers?"
"That's right." Yue Weiguo said, "I have five brothers. Didn't I tell you before?"
"But you didn't tell me who your four brothers are." Song Renqiong said angrily, "I didn't know until today that your youngest brother Yue Weihan turns out to be the commander of the Baoshan Division and the commander of the New Sixth Army!"
"What? My younger brother is the commander of Baoshan Division?" Yue Weiguo was surprised at first, then shook his head and said, "No, this is impossible, my younger brother is just a playboy, and he usually does things like running around in the countryside and bullying men and women.
, my mother was so angry to death by him, how could he become a soldier, let alone become a division commander!"
"You kid, you're still pretending!" Song Renqiong said angrily, "The Yan'an Security Bureau has already verified it!"
With that said, Song Renqiong handed Yue Weiguo the telegram from the Yan'an Security Bureau forwarded from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
After reading it, Yue Weiguo was stunned for a long time. After a long while, he said in disbelief: "I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it. My three brothers turned out to be comrades in the party. There is also a younger brother. This kid can actually change his mind.
, look like a human being again, if my mother knows anything, she should rest in peace."
Song Renqiong patted Yue Weiguo on the shoulder, and then said: "Weiguo, do you want to meet your little brother?"
"Yes, of course I do." Yue Weiguo said without hesitation, "I have been away from home for seven or eight years, and I don't know if my family has been well in these years? And this kid, I didn't expect to be admitted to the Central Military Academy. Haha, old man
Song, there are five of us brothers. Except for the eldest brother, who went to Baoding Military Academy, the other four are all from Huangpu."
"Really?" Song Renqiong joked, "The five tiger generals of Yuemen can write a book about Yue Xin."
"Political Commissar, when are we leaving?" Yue Weiguo really couldn't wait to see his little brother.
"Why are you so anxious?" Song Renqiong sat down slowly, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, struck a match and lit it, and then started smoking happily. Seeing that his old friend Yue Weiguo was getting anxious, he said with a smile
, "Wait for now. When Yang *** from the Jinan Prefectural Committee arrives, we will set off together."
