"Brother, why are you so sure that the Japanese army will land at Jinshanwei?" Lieutenant General Zhang remained calm enough despite his shock.
As a general of an army, he would not be easily influenced by other people's thoughts. If Liu Lang could not provide convincing evidence, no matter how absurd Liu Lang's words were, he would not easily believe them. Songhu
Before the war, not all the national army generals who inspected various landing sites where Japanese troops might land were pig-brained.
"If I say that I saw it in my dream, brother, of course you won't believe it." Liu Lang's lips curved into a sneer, and he said solemnly to Lieutenant General Zhang: "According to me, the staff officer of the Kwantung Army is ambushing me.
A senior spy from the Japanese Army's North China Front received a call. The 6th Division, 18th Division, 114th Division and the 1st Division of the 5th Division of the Japanese North China Front had made some changes. They did not attack the Xinkou battlefield in Shanxi Province, but were transferred to
In Tianjin and Qinhuangdao areas, what do you think they want to do?"
"Brother, you don't have to doubt the accuracy of this information. You only need to know that in the Great Wall Battle, I dared to go out of the Great Wall to pursue the 8th Division and merged with a volunteer army and Deng Wen's cavalry brigade in the north of Rehe to annihilate the remnants of the 8th Division.
With this person's power, you can determine that this information will never be wrong."
Liu Lang was a little panicked here. Xia Wenyun was not the key to victory in the Battle of the Great Wall at that time. However, he could definitely gain Zhang Zizhong's trust by using the Battle of the Great Wall as an example. Because, his
The battle was so magical that everyone said he relied on luck.
Sure enough, after hearing Liu Lang's words, Lieutenant General Zhang took a deep breath and at the same time, the doubts he had had were solved. Of course he was not surprised that Liu Lang confessed for the first time in front of others that the remnants of the 8th Division were in large numbers in the north of Rehe.
It was him who was responsible for the annihilation of his troops, but he finally knew why Liu Lang dared to chase the strong fortifications of the Great Wall alone that day. He actually had a senior spy within the Japanese army. Moreover, he could know the march of the Eighth Division at any time.
route and the movement of the main force of the Japanese army along the Great Wall.
This is a sufficient explanation for the fact that Liu Lang led the Great Wall Regiment to defeat his opponents despite being outnumbered. Otherwise, it would be difficult for anyone to believe that Liu Lang had calculated that the Japanese army was empty in Rehe and had calculated the main force of the Japanese army.
Unable to return reinforcements, the 8th Division's marching route was calculated, and the weather prevented Japanese planes from taking off... Is he Zhuge still alive?
But with the addition of a senior spy lurking in the Japanese Kwantung Army's staff headquarters, it's completely different. All of this, except the weather, can inform Liu Lang and allow him to make corresponding tactical arrangements. Of course, even if
In this way, Liu Lang is also very amazing. Not everyone has the courage to lead thousands of people to chase out the fortifications that can protect against heavy artillery and fight with the Japanese army on the plains, even if the Japanese army has become a toothless tiger. But they still have
There are tens of thousands of troops!
This is why many generals of the national army said that Liu Lang won the battle with luck, but no one dared to say that Liu Lang won by accident, because his courage alone is already admirable.
Everyone has their own secrets. Lieutenant General Zhang was very smart and did not continue to worry about the authenticity of the spy information. The three divisions of the Japanese North China Front did not reinforce the Shanxi battlefield but were transferred to Tianjin and Qinhuangdao, which are close to the sea. This has confirmed the intelligence obtained by the government.
, the Japanese army will send additional troops to Songhu from the north.
"However, this does not prove that the Japanese army will land at Jinshanwei!" Lieutenant General Zhang continued to ask.
"Yes, these can only show that they are increasing their troops, because where they landed is not something that the Japanese Kwantung Army and North China Front Army can know. It is a battle plan formulated by the Japanese base camp. I can't prove it to you with more conclusive evidence.
." Liu Lang took a deep breath, his eyes extremely bright, "But, if I were the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, after making a plan to land at a location that is not suitable for landing like Jinshanwei, I would definitely do one thing first."
"Tactical deception!"
"Tactical deception?"
"Yes, I will definitely send peace negotiators and the government to divert the opponent's attention from the peace talks, and then three divisions will land from Jinshan Guard. No, to be precise, it is not just Jinshan Guard, but also Taicang County on the right side of Shanghai city.
One left and one right formed a pincer offensive, and cooperated with the frontal troops that had already invaded the urban area of Shanghai to surround the opponent's main force in the urban area of Shanghai and annihilate them." Liu Lang's face showed a serious look. "It can kill all the elites of the enemy who are resisting.
Everything will be destroyed. From now on, the fertile land in southeastern China will be in my hands. Not only can we attack Nanjing, Xuzhou and then Wuhan from here.
By that time, East China and Central China will be in our hands. We will send another force to land from Guangzhou, and central China will concentrate the main force to go south. Under attack from two directions, South China will also be in our hands. By then, East China, North China,
South China and most of central China have been occupied, leaving only the most barren southwest mountainous areas and the Gobi. Allow me to stabilize the occupied area for one to two years, and continuously retrain the steel and coal produced from the opponent's rich land into guns and cannons to attack again. China
No matter how big it is, how many years can it last?"
When Lieutenant General Zhang heard this, his face turned pale instantly.
If the strategy mentioned by Liu Lang is followed, especially if all the elites were lost in the Songhu Battle, it is really possible for China to completely become an occupied area of the small Japanese country as he said.
In fact, what Liu Lang said was exactly the strategic policy formulated by the Japanese base camp in the future. After destroying the main Chinese force in Songhu, they invaded from southeast to south and attacked the southwest along North China. They almost succeeded.
However, they did not expect that the Chinese resistance would be far more intense than they imagined. Especially after experiencing such a massacre, the sound of gunfire never really stopped, whether on the front line or in their occupied areas.
Pass.
In order to trap millions of their elites in the Chinese battlefield, the American cowboys who were viciously stabbed by them even spared no expense in sending money and goods. Under the circumstances, the plan carefully planned by the Japanese base camp to occupy the entire China took eight years.
, it’s just a dream in vain. After several years of war, not to mention that the Japanese troops on the front line have changed from canned rice to fried rice similar to that of the Chinese, and the local residents of the island country are really going to eat dirt.
"Yes, the reason for judging whether the Japanese army will land at Jinshanwei, a landing site that all of us think is impossible, is very simple. If they take the initiative to initiate negotiations in the past few days, there must be something wrong." Liu Lang said decisively.
"Okay, I will definitely bring this news to Minister He at the meeting of the Military and Administrative Department in the next two days." Lieutenant General Zhang nodded cautiously.
He didn't say any other words of thanks. He knew very well that Liu Lang conveyed this information to him just to let him make a comeback with this skill. Otherwise, he could just say it himself when he met with General He in the morning.
Thank you, just keep it in your heart, there is no need to express it verbally.
Of course, with this person's character, even if he has no merit, he will definitely explain it to the first person in the Military and Political Department. The result of the Songhu Battle is really too important. Just like Liu Lang said, almost everyone gathered there
If more than 70% of China's most elite troops make any mistakes, China will lose its most important force to contend with the Japanese aggressors.
"However, Brother Zhang, before that, you must agree to a condition first. Otherwise, you will just continue to serve as your counselor in your military and political department!" Liu Lang changed the subject and said.
"Brother, you can say whatever you want, but you, Brother Zhang, and I are just the commander now. I have no money and no one under me. Even if I want to give, I can only give you an IOU first." Lieutenant General Zhang said with a wry smile.
"Hey, I want you to promise me that if you serve as the commander of the 59th Army, you must not give up your ambition and lead the way." Liu Lang saw the sadness flashing in Zhang Zizhong's eyes, and advised: "I will not say that as a national
Senior general, your life is not only your own but also that of the 40 million compatriots. Brother, as a husband and father, you must think about your sister-in-law, monk and young nephew. It would be easy for you to die, wearing the national flag.
Ten thousand people send me to you to leave my name to a hundred generations, but for my sister-in-law and their family, the sky has fallen."
Seeing Zhang Zizhong's move, Liu Lang struck while the iron was hot and persuaded: "Brother, this time I fought with the Japanese army in Shanxi and saw too many sacrifices. The death of Hao Mengling and other generals is extremely regrettable. I
We even accepted General Jiang Yuzhen’s three children as adopted children in the mourning hall. Why? That’s because I hope to replace him and hold up the sky that originally belonged to him. Children of heroes should not be treated poorly. I know what you want to say
The country will not treat them lightly, but when the war is in chaos, the country's main energy is also focused on the front line against Japan, so it is inevitable that there will be oversights in these matters.
You know, I passed through Wuhan this time and personally sent the coffin of Lieutenant Chen Huaiming, who died in the air battle over Jindong, back to his parents' home. His mother patted her son's coffin and cursed: Why? Why didn't you parachute after you won the battle?
You sacrificed your life for the country to save the plane, but do you know how painful your mother's heart is? The hero who died will know that his mother's black hair turned white that morning!"
When Liu Lang talked about what happened that day, tears really filled his eyes. It wasn't that he wasn't strong enough. When he was at the Great Wall, he watched his death squads turn into ashes under our own artillery fire, and he never shed a single tear.
, even if he sat there from late at night to early in the morning, his hair covered with white frost. But he was afraid of seeing his mother cry, and seeing the mothers of his comrades cry.
As a son of man, it is extremely unfilial to let my parents who gave birth to me and raised me grow old overnight. But what can I do? If one family doesn’t cry, then all the families will cry!
Yes, Liu Lang wanted to change the fate of the majestic and brave Chinese soldier in front of him. Not only because he could be a friend or brother, but because this famous anti-Japanese general really fit the style of a famous general. In the past time and space
, this general who came back as commander of the 59th Army in February 1938 until his death two years later, fought more than a hundred battles with the Japanese invaders, large and small, with casualties, but very few losses.
Even the Japanese invaders admired him greatly. When the coffin of this famous anti-Japanese general was transported to Yichang, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians sent him off. It was just as the Japanese invaders' military planes were attacking. Originally, the huge farewell team was the best target for the empty aircraft.
, but Japan gave up.
The devil's praise is also praise!
"Brother Liu, you don't have to say it. Brother, I know you're wrong! I promise you, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not sacrifice lightly, and I will stay with the Japanese invaders to the end." Lieutenant General Zhang also had tears in his eyes,
solemn commitment.
"However, the young nephews you just mentioned, but..." Lieutenant General Zhang suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?"
"Haha, I want you, my little uncle, to know that your eldest brother and I have seven children." Lieutenant General Zhang laughed loudly and asked: "If I remember correctly, brother, are you six in your twenties this year?"
"That's right!" Liu Lang's face showed a bit of "shyness", "I am born in 10 years!"
"Ahem, your sister-in-law and I have been married since the 33rd year of Guangxu's reign. It has been exactly thirty years ago. Your eldest son, Lian Zhen, is two years older than you. Your second grandson fought at the Great Wall and was named Qing'an...
...." Lieutenant General Zhang looked at Liu Lang with a smile on his face.
What the hell......
What Lang Fat was thinking about was not that there were a bunch of young nephews who were older than him, but that, according to what this old man said, in addition to his seven children, there were actually a bunch of grandchildren.
