As time went by, the atmosphere in the war room gradually became tense. Not only the senior staff members, but also Ye Qijie could not sit still on the chair. He stood up and started pacing back and forth in the room. Fu Zuoyi could still sit down.
It's okay, but from the extremely solemn expression on his face, it can still be seen that he is actually extremely nervous inside.
It was impossible not to be nervous, because Fu Zuoyi had staked all his fortune and was waiting for the bright cards to be revealed.
If he wins, he will win a lot, but if he loses, Fu Zuoyi will lose all his belongings and have nothing!
In fact, Xu Rui was also inexplicably nervous. Although he was confident, the battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and no one could guarantee that he would win! Even if the 35th Army had a certain advantage at the moment, even if the Japanese were stationed in Mongolia
The army has reached the end of its battle, but until the final result is announced, no one dares to say that they will definitely win.
Perhaps the only person who was not nervous was Yao Dahai, the supervisory committee member from Chongqing.
Because Yao Dahai was not worried at all. For him, it would be better if the 35th Army lost.
Taking a slow sip of strong tea, Yao Dahai said: "There are always some people who, relying on their small victories in the past, don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is. What will happen? They must have lost the bet in the end.
"
Xu Rui curled his lips in disdain, not bothering to argue with this guy at all.
However, Ye Qijie could no longer hold himself back and said angrily: "Commissioner Yao, do you want our army to lose the battle?"
"Oh, where did Deputy Ye start from talking about these words? I don't dare to slap you with a big label." Yao Dahai said, "Anyway, I am also a Chinese, and I naturally hope that the 35th Army will win the war. However, I want to say
The thing is, some people cannot be easily trusted, and some political parties cannot be trusted even more, such as the Communist Party.”
Fu Zuoyi couldn't listen anymore and frowned and said: "Commissioner Yao, the results haven't come out yet, how do you know you will lose?"
Yao Dahai spread his hands and said calmly: "Sir Fu, I don't want to see the Thirty-fifth Army lose despite my humble position. However, the result seems to be doomed."
After a pause, Yao Dahai pointed at Xu Rui and said: "As Commander Xu said, the only advantage of the 35th Army compared to the Japanese is that they have abundant physical strength. But now, as time goes by, the strength of the 35th Army's soldiers
My physical strength is declining sharply, but the enemy's superiority in military strength and firepower is gradually beginning to show its power. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the longer this time is delayed, the more beneficial it will be for the enemy. Two hours have passed now, so I
explain……"
Xu Rui turned around, stared at Yao Dahai coldly, and asked, "So what do you want to say?"
With a groan, Yao Dahai said expressionlessly: "That's why I say, we have already lost this battle!"
"Report!" However, as soon as Yao Dahai finished speaking, a communications staff officer strode in, snapped his feet and stood at attention, saluted Xu Rui with a military salute, and said, "Frontline battle report, the remnants of the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia are near Baijia Gedan
Defeated by our army, the remaining troops have crossed the Wuliang Suhai and fled eastward, and our army is pursuing it with all its strength in coordination with the Chahar Independent Regiment."
There was dead silence. After the communications staff officer finished his report, the entire war room suddenly became dead silent.
After a long while, there was a sudden bang, followed by the sound of breaking porcelain.
When everyone looked back, they realized that the tea cup in Yao Dahai's hand had dropped to the ground and broke.
Just now, when Yao Dahai suddenly heard the good news, he lost his heart and soul. He even dropped the tea cup in his hand to the ground. As a result, the hot tea splashed out and splashed on his trouser legs, which was very hot.
Yao Dahai screamed at that moment. He rolled up his trousers and saw that they were all red.
Seeing this scene, everyone including Fu Zuoyi laughed.
Yao Dahai became so angry that he snorted, rolled his sleeves and left.
As soon as Yao Dahai left, the atmosphere in the war room immediately became relaxed.
Xu Rui first expressed congratulations to Fu Zuoyi: "Sir Fu, congratulations."
"Same joy." Fu Zuoyi waved his hand and said, "What's more, this is all thanks to you, brother."
"Yes, yes." Ye Qijie also said, "Brother Xu, it's really thanks to you this time."
After the battle was won, Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie immediately changed their name to Xu Rui and became brother.
After finishing speaking, Ye Qijie immediately shouted: "Adjutant Wang, immediately report the victory to Chongqing and say that our 35th Army has repelled the invading enemy and severely damaged the troops stationed in Mongolia."
"Yes!" An officer immediately turned around.
…
It was already midnight when the good news reached Chongqing.
At this time, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was not at his official residence, but at the headquarters of the National Army. Why was he there? He was far away deploying defense for the Changsha Battle! In order to expand the depth of defense around Wuhan, the Japanese's 11th Army followed the example of a historical figure.
In this way, they decided to concentrate their forces to capture Changsha. The difference was that this time the Japanese commander was no longer Neji Okamura.
Chairman Chiang's shortcoming is that he clings to military power and refuses to let go. He must personally intervene in all battles, big and small.
However, few people know that Chairman Chiang was not like this at the beginning. During the Northern Expedition, Chairman Chiang basically did not interfere with frontline command. Even during the Central Plains War, Chairman Chiang dared to delegate power.
What really caused the change in Chairman Chiang's mentality was his second resignation.
After leaving office for the second time, Chairman Chiang deeply realized that power must be firmly in his hands, especially military power, and no one should be allowed to interfere with it! Since then, Chairman Chiang has been very sensitive to military power. Whenever there is a war,
, he would personally intervene or even directly overstep the command, in order to guard against warlords who would not obey orders.
The effect of Chairman Chiang's actions is also very obvious. There are many departments and departments in the Central Army, but no military leader dares to break away from him and stand on his own. No matter Chen Cheng, Hu Zongnan or He Yingqin, none of them dare to do so, because Chairman Chiang has already
Having already penetrated deeply into their hands, if they dare to stand on their own, Chairman Chiang can evade them in a matter of minutes.
Closer to home, Chairman Chiang once again came to the headquarters to personally inquire about the preparations for the Changsha battle. To this end, Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater Command and commander of the First Corps, also rushed back from Changsha to report the situation to Chairman Chiang in person.
The report has just been completed and we are waiting for Chairman Chiang to give special instructions.
However, before Chairman Chiang could speak, Wang Shihe hurried in.
"Commitment." Wang Shihe rushed over excitedly and said excitedly, "Great victory in Wuyuan!
"What? A great victory at Wuyuan?" Chairman Chiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, "Did the Battle of Wuyuan be won? Did Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army really win?"
"Yes, I won." Wang Shihe nodded vigorously.
Hearing Wang Shihe's affirmative answer, the entire headquarters burst into cheers.
Speaking of which, since the Sino-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, the Chinese army has won many victories on the anti-Japanese battlefield, but these victories basically have nothing to do with the national army. Those that have something to do with the national army such as the Battle of Songhu and Xinkou
The battles of Taiyuan, Xuzhou and even Wuhan were all lost without exception.
The only exception was the 106th Division of the Japanese that was annihilated in the German Security War.
In comparison, the Communist Party has fought many more victorious battles, especially Xu Rui's troops, whether in Dameishan or on the Songhu battlefield, they have won one battle after another, annihilating or severely damaging the Japanese divisions.
There were four of them in total, and even more brigades or detachments were annihilated or severely damaged. Chairman Chiang became numb after hearing this.
Now, nearly two years later, the national army has finally won another battle.
Although Fu Zuoyi's troops are not the Central Army, they are the troops of the party and state after all, so Chairman Chiang was very happy when he heard the news. From this moment on, the national army also had anti-Japanese heroes and heroic troops that could be promoted, and
You don’t have to watch the CCP’s Xinhua News Agency bragging about their heroes and heroic troops every day.
"Beautiful!" Chairman Jiang waved his fist and said to Wang Shihe, "Immediately forward this good news to the Central Broadcasting Station and the Central News Agency, and ask them to increase their publicity efforts and report this good news to the military and civilians across the country as soon as possible.
The anti-Japanese battlefield has been silent for such a long time, and it’s time to boost morale.”
"Yes!" Wang Shihe agreed and turned around.
Chairman Chiang turned to Xue Yue and said: "Bo Ling, you must also report this news to the Ninth War Zone as soon as possible, especially the officers and soldiers of the First Corps. You must let them know that the little Japanese just suffered a big defeat in Wuyuan."
, as long as the fight is successful, the little devil will suffer another big defeat in Changsha City!"
"Yes!" Xue Yue nodded respectfully.
After speaking, Chairman Chiang turned to He Yingqin and said: "In respect, in the name of the headquarters, I will immediately send a commendation order to all the officers and soldiers of the 35th Army to congratulate them on their great achievements in the Battle of Wuyuan! In addition,
We will also urgently allocate five million yuan in legal currency from the Ministry of Military Affairs to reward the officers and men of the 35th Army."
"Yes." He Yingqin responded respectfully.
…
Yichuan, Second Theater Command Headquarters.
Yan Xishan, commander-in-chief of the Second Theater Command, learned about the Wuyuan victory almost at the same time.
"What?" Yan Xishan looked at the adjutant Gao Rongda in surprise and asked, "What do you mean?"
The aide-de-camp Gao Rongda smiled bitterly and said again: "Chief, the North Route Army has just severely damaged the main force of the Japanese Army in Mongolia on the Wuyuan battlefield. Now the Japanese Army in Mongolia has been defeated like a mountain. The North Route Army is pursuing it with all its strength. If there is no way out,
If something unexpected happens, the Northern Route Army will achieve great results this time, and even recovering Baotou is not impossible."
After Yan Xishan heard this, he was stunned for a moment and sat there without moving.
Gao Rongda also said that Yan Xishan had hypochondriasis, so he was so frightened that he rushed over and prepared to strangle him.
"What are you doing? I don't have any hypothetical disease, so why do you kill someone?" Yan Xishan woke up from his sleep, slapped Gao Rongda's hand away, and then lamented, "Oh, there is no justice, there is really no justice.
Fu Zuoyi, an ungrateful bastard, can actually win the battle, God is really blind."
Yan Xishan suddenly seemed to have aged ten years.
