"Later?" Deng Baoguang rolled his eyes and said angrily, "I almost didn't pick my old platoon leader."
"What?" Ye Xiaoxian lost his voice, "Aren't you going back to kill the Japanese? Why did you pick your platoon leader?"
"Because the Japs were disguised as the platoon leader and the veterans of Baoshan Camp, and the little Japs who followed us for three days and three nights were pretended to be Japanese." Nearly half a year later, Deng Baoguang was still angry when talking about this episode.
It’s hard to calm down, because the memory of those three days is really too painful.
"Who thought this was a damaging move?" Ye Xiaoxian said, "Isn't this too damaging?"
"Brother, you are really smart." Deng Baoguang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "You are the first one who dares to say that the hotel seat is damaged. Even our group dare not say that."
"Ah, did the host ask you to do this?" Ye Xiaoxian's face was full of disbelief.
"How about we make a group of broken soldiers who had just escaped from the concentration camp march continuously for three days and three nights?" Deng Baoguang said angrily, "Let's try it instead."
Ye Xiaoxian scratched his head and stopped talking.
Seeing that Ye Xiaoxian was still a little nervous, Deng Baoguang said again: "Deputy Ye Pai, have you ever seen a bullet passing through your head?"
Ye Xiaoxian's face suddenly turned pale. The faces of the dozen other recruits who joined the army at the same time as Ye Xiaoxian also didn't look good. Two timid ones even started to tremble in their legs.
But Deng Baoguang became more and more frightened as he spoke: "Let me tell you, when a bullet passes through a person's head, the melon seeds in this good head will be like a smashed watermelon, all broken into pieces, what kind of brain, brain?"
The liver and blood were all like smashed watermelon pulp, and it sprayed out for more than ten meters. It was so miserable..."
There was no trace of color on the faces of Ye Xiaoxian and a dozen recruits.
"This is not the worst." Deng Baoguang added, "The worst is to be directly hit by a Japanese howitzer. At that time, you will find yourself flying suddenly, and as you fly, you will find yourself
This guy's legs, feet, eggs, everything from the waist down are all gone."
"After landing, hey, you won't die immediately. You will at least howl seventeen or eighty times and be in pain. It's like rolling into a frying pan and wading back and forth for seventeen or eighty years. At that time, you will know
, Death is actually a kind of enjoyment, really, I won’t lie to you, that’s what the old platoon leader told me before he died.”
"Platoon leader, how did the old platoon leader die?" Ye Xiaoxian's expression recovered somewhat. The more Deng Baoguang spoke, the more terrifying he became, but Ye Xiaoxian seemed less nervous.
Deng Baoguang immediately fell silent, and his expression darkened.
Seeing that the platoon leader's face turned cloudy and gloomy, and the dozen or so recruits nearby quickly dispersed, Ye Xiaoxian wisely picked up the flower trap at his feet and began to wipe it carefully.
…
In Xuzhou City, Baoshan Brigade Headquarters.
Amidst the rapid footsteps, the upright Yue Weihan strode into the telecommunications room surrounded by Tang Dashan and Chu Zhongtian. All the female soldiers of the telecommunications team, including the major captain Liu Xin, quickly stood up and stood at attention. Baoshan Brigade is now
It was really formalized. The telecommunications team was all made up of beautiful female soldiers, and they were all in their twenties.
Major Liu Xin twisted his slender waist to greet Yue Weihan, stood at attention and saluted: "Travel seat."
Yue Weihan nodded and said: "Immediately send a clear code to the whole world. Within half a month, the Japanese invaders will not even think of setting foot in Xuzhou!"
"Yes!" Major Liu Xin responded loudly and crisply, then turned to the female radio operator next to him and said, "Send the speech in clear code immediately."
Baoshan Brigade's telecommunications equipment has been replaced by high-power radio stations, and the coverage has expanded from the first few hundred kilometers to every corner of the world. Soon, Yue Weihan's bold words were sent to every corner of the world in clear codes.
, including radio stations from Western countries and Japanese military base camps.
What Yue Weihan did was actually issuing a challenge to the Japanese army and attracting the Japanese army's attention to Xuzhou.
Xuzhou is located at the intersection of the Longhai Railway and the Jinpu Railway. Its strategic location is indeed important. If the Japanese army did not completely occupy Xuzhou and completely open up the Jinpu Railway and the Longhai Line, then attacking Henan to the west or even attacking Wuhan to the south would be empty talk. From a strategic perspective,
Literally speaking, it is almost impossible to achieve it.
However, Yue Weihan was worried that the Japanese army would make a "rash advance" due to misjudgment of the situation.
Because after the Japanese army discovered that the main force of the national army had withdrawn southward from the Dabie Mountains, they would take it for granted that Xuzhou had become theirs, and would no longer consider occupying Xuzhou, let alone opening up the Longhai Line and Jinpu Railway.
The problem is, based on this judgment, the Japanese army's heavily armed group is likely to march straight in along the Longhai Line from Pinghan to attack Wuhan.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the National Army were still circling in the Dabie Mountains, and the main force of Cheng Qian's First Theater was still confronting the Japanese North China Front in the northern section of the Ping-Han Line. There was no time to divide the troops to defend Wuhan, and Wuhan alone
The dozen or so new divisions in the garrison headquarters would never be able to stop the Japanese army.
Therefore, Yue Weihan was even more worried that the Japanese army's "rash advance" would have disastrous consequences.
In view of this, Yue Weihan felt that it was necessary to take the initiative to "point out" the consequences of the Japanese army's "rash advance". This consequence is that your heavy army group may be able to attack Wuhan, but before Xuzhou is completely captured, your ammunition and supplies will not be delivered in time.
On the front line, in other words, even if the Japanese army occupied Wuhan, they would most likely be wiped out because they would run out of ammunition and food!
After all, modern warfare is all about logistics. Without solid logistical support, the Japanese army would be equally vulnerable!
…
Tokyo, General Staff Headquarters.
Ishihara Kanji, the deputy chief of staff, walked into the office of the chief of staff, Kanin Gongzaihito, with a serious look on his face. He immediately stopped and stood at attention and said, "Your Highness, are you looking for a humble position?"
Xianyuan Gong Zairen raised the message in his hand and said: "Ishihara-kun, what is going on?"
Xianyuan Gong Zairen was in a very bad mood. The empire mobilized twenty reserve divisions and issued a large amount of national debt. Only then did it have enough troops and financial resources to launch this unprecedented scale Xuzhou Battle. I thought it would be possible
In World War I, the main force of the Chinese army was wiped out and the Nationalist Government was forced to surrender. However, I did not expect that the result would be like this.
Not only did the Battle of Xuzhou fail to completely annihilate the main force of the Chinese army, it even failed to capture the strategic strategic importance of Xuzhou!
As a result, Western countries have repeatedly slighted and humiliated the Japanese Empire, which has aroused great dissatisfaction with His Majesty the Emperor.
"Hai." Ishihara Wanji suddenly lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness, you are humble and incompetent. The long-planned Xuzhou battle failed to achieve full success, and actually allowed the main Chinese force in the Xuzhou battlefield to escape. Please request the General Staff Headquarters to impose sanctions.
However, the opportunity to force the Chinese government to surrender through a decisive battle has not been completely lost."
"Huh?" Xianyuan Gongzai Ren said, "What about specifically?"
Ishihara Wanji handed the folder in his hand to the case of Hanin Gong Zairen and said: "Your Highness, this is the plan for the Wuhan Battle that has just been formulated by the General Staff Headquarters."
After Hanin Gong Zaijin opened the folder, Ishihara smiled and said: "Although the Xuzhou Battle failed to completely annihilate the main Chinese forces, it also forced the main Chinese forces gathered on the Xuzhou battlefield to disperse. One part rushed into the mountainous area of Zhonglu, and the other
It has rushed into the Sulu border, and some into the Dabie Mountains on the border of Hubei and Anhui. At present, the door of Wuhan, the base of the Chinese government, has been opened."
Xianyuan Gong Zairen suddenly thought that if he could capture Wuhan, he might be able to force the Chinese government to surrender.
Kanin Gong Zaijin was not in a hurry to read the document and asked: "Ishihara-kun, has the General Staff Headquarters seriously demonstrated the feasibility of the Wuhan Battle? How high are the chances of winning the Wuhan Battle? After winning the battle, the China government
What is the possibility of surrender? If the battle of Wuhan is defeated, what impact will it have on the empire?"
Ishihara Wanji said respectfully: "Your Highness, the General Staff Headquarters you mentioned have been carefully verified, and the final conclusion is that the troops mobilized by the empire this time and the financial resources raised from the issuance of national bonds are enough to support the large-scale war in half a year.
With a large-scale offensive operation, it would only take half a month to capture Wuhan and force the Chinese government to surrender."
"Half a month." Xianyuan Gong Zairen frowned and said, "Ishihara-kun, are the General Staff Headquarters too optimistic? If they cannot capture Xuzhou and open up the Longhai Line and Jinpu Line, the results achieved by the imperial army will be even greater.
The larger the area, the wider the area it occupies, the more serious the crisis it will face, have you ever thought about this?"
Ishihara Wanji said confidently: "Your Highness, Xuzhou is not a problem, we can win it in three days at most!"
Hanyuan Gong Zairen frowned and thought for a moment and then said: "Ishihara-kun, I heard some rumors in Germany this time. It is said that German and French military advisers have proposed to China leader Chiang Kai-shek to dig up the Yellow River embankment to use the flooded Yellow River water.
To block the advance of the Imperial Army, can the General Staff Headquarters have a record of this proposal?"
Ishihara smiled and said: "Your Highness, this staff headquarters has also carefully studied it and concluded that the China government will not easily dig the Yellow River embankment, because it will greatly damage the entire China nation's sense of identity with the National Government.
If Chiang really did this, it would undoubtedly be a great help to the empire."
"Yo Xi." Xianyuan Gong Zairen said, "Then execute it."
"Hai." Ishihara Wan'er suddenly lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your support."
Hurrying back to his office, Ishihara Wanji said to Kuro Odachihara, the Chief of Operations of the General Staff Headquarters: "Odachihara-kun, immediately start reorganizing the Central China Front Army. Shunroku Hata will still serve as the headquarters. Okabe, commander of the frontline command post of the base camp dispatch squad, will
Naozaburo was transferred to the Chief of Staff of the Front Army. The Central China Front Army unified the command of the Shanghai Condemnation Army. The Fifth, Seventh, Tenth, and Eleventh Army totaled 25 divisions. The Second Army of the North China Front also fought in coordination. The Central China Front Army
The combat mission is to seize Wuhan, look for opportunities to annihilate the Chinese army, and finally force the Chinese government to surrender!"
