Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater and commander of the First Corps, had already taken a flight back to the front line. During his half-day stay in Chongqing, Xue Yue had already told Jiang the preparations for the Changsha battle and the comparison of the strength of the Chinese and Japanese armies.
The Chairman explained and repeatedly stated that he was confident of holding Changsha.
For this reason, Xue Yue even introduced the Tianlu tactics he used to Chairman Chiang in detail.
However, Chairman Chiang still felt uncertain, so he came to the headquarters early in the morning.
When Chairman Chiang arrived at the headquarters, it was still dark and several of his staff had not arrived yet.
The captain of the bodyguard Wang Shihe poured a cup of strong tea, but Chairman Chiang waved his hand and walked straight into the war room. He stood in front of a large map showing the situation map of the enemy and ourselves in the Changsha battle. On the map, the war staff of the headquarters had already used two
Huge blue arrows marked the Japanese attack route.
These two big blue arrows, one goes from Wuhan via Yueyang, Changde to the south and into Changsha, the other goes through De'an in Jiangxi, Nanchang to the west and into Hengyang. The attack route is exactly the same as the first battle of Changsha in history.
, this is actually determined by the highway lines in Hunan, because there are only these two highways in Hunan.
The Japanese were unwilling to abandon trucks, artillery and other heavy equipment, so they could only advance along the highway.
The defensive posture put up by Xue Yue was to resist the enemy from the periphery. He placed the main force of the First Corps on the front line, leaving only one division in Changsha and nearby areas to maintain public order! This is Xue Yue's Tianlu tactics, Tianlu
The essence of the tactics is to build Changsha into a melting pot and burn the Japanese army with a single fire!
Chairman Chiang agrees with Xue Yue's approach of destroying both the jade and the stone.
However, Chairman Chiang had no confidence in the security forces remaining in Changsha. What he was most worried about was that these security forces would panic before the Japanese army arrived, and then set fire to the thousand-year-old city of Changsha in advance.
In this case, not only would the Japanese army not be burned, but the people of Changsha would be harmed.
"Commissioned." Wang Shihe suddenly walked in and reported, "Dai Li is here."
"Dai Li?" Commissioner Jiang looked slightly moved, nodded and said, "Ask him to come in."
Wang Shihe responded, turned around and went out, and soon Dai Li walked in with a slight bow.
Chairman Jiang did not take his eyes away from the big map and asked without looking back: "Yunong, is there any new news coming back from Wuyuan?"
"The appointment is really a clever plan." Dai Li said flatteringly, "I haven't even mentioned my humble position yet, you already know it."
"Don't do this." Chairman Jiang snorted softly from his nostrils, but it could be seen that he was actually very happy in his heart. He continued, "Tell me, how is Wuyuan now?"
Dai Li then said: "Well, let's talk about this. What should I say to the humble position?"
"Speak directly if you have something to say," Chairman Chiang said angrily, "Don't be coy."
"Yes, yes, just tell me if you are humble." Dai Li nodded and said, "The situation in Wuyuan is quite good at the moment. After the liberation of Baotou, Guisui is just around the corner. What's even more gratifying is that Matra Qianqi and Tumo
Mongolian banners such as the special left and right banners also issued messages expressing their intention to return to the central government."
Dai Li's views on the situation in Wuyuan were completely opposite to those of He Yingqin and the others.
Because Dai Li knew more inside information and knew that Fu Zuoyi had the assistance of the Eighth Route Army.
However, Dai Li's information was provided by the military special agents who followed Yao Dahai to Wuyuan, so there was a certain lag.
"Is there still this matter?" Chairman Chiang thought for a moment and said, "As long as they are willing to return, the central government does not need to pursue any further investigation."
After a pause, Chairman Chiang continued: "So, half of Suiyuan Province has been recovered? This is a good thing."
"This is not necessarily the case." Dai Li said darkly, "According to intelligence, the reason why the 35th Army was able to regain Baotou and even half of Suiyuan Province this time was that the Communist Eighth Route Army, especially the Chahar Independent Regiment led by Xu Rui, was among them.
He has played an important role, so I am worried that Fu Zuoyi will completely fall to the side..."
Having said this, Dai Li stopped and said no more.
Chairman Chiang could naturally hear what Dai Li meant.
Dai Li is saying that Fu Zuoyi may completely fall to the Communist Party.
In an instant, Chairman Jiang's face darkened and he said: "Yunong, you must do your best to prevent this situation from happening. Once Fu Zuoyi secretly turns to the CCP, even if he does not surrender openly, the threat to the party and the country cannot be ignored.
, because of Fu Zuoyi’s central connection in Suiyuan, the CCP can establish a direct transportation line from Yan’an to the Soviet Union, and military supplies from the Comintern and even the Soviet Union to aid the CCP can be continuously imported into Yan’an. This is not a good thing.
.”
To fight against foreign aggression, one must first pacify the domestic situation. This is the deep-rooted guiding ideology in Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's mind. At the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, under the strong military pressure of the Japanese army, Chairman Chiang briefly put aside this guiding ideology and even joined forces with the Communist Party of China.
The entire nation's anti-Japanese united front was formed. However, when the Japanese army stopped its offensive on the frontal battlefield and when the pressure on the Nationalist government to survive was no longer as severe as it was at the beginning, the guiding ideology that to fight against foreign aggression must first be at home came back.
Now, Chairman Chiang will be wary of the Communist Party even when he dreams at night.
Xu Rui, on the other hand, has become a thorn in the side of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, a thorn in his flesh that he must get rid of quickly.
After a pause, Chairman Jiang continued: "Yunong, I asked you to send people to Wuyuan as soon as possible. Have you sent them yet?"
"Commissioner, I have been dispatched a long time ago." Dai Li quickly replied, "Calculating the time, it is almost time to arrive at Wuyuan, but if you want to complete this mission, I'm afraid it won't be that fast."
"As soon as possible." Chairman Chiang said, "As soon as possible."
"Yes, yes." Dai Li said quickly, "The humble position must immediately convey the intention of the appointment to the nanny, so that she can find a way to get close to Xu Rui as soon as possible, gain Xu Rui's trust, and then choose the opportunity to take action as soon as possible."
While the two were talking, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
"Okay, then you do it as soon as possible." Chairman Jiang waved his hand, and Dai Li bowed and left.
Not long after Dai Li left, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi walked in together.
Seeing that Chairman Chiang was already there, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
After seeing the ceremony, Bai Chongxi asked: "Commissioner, Dai Yunong always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. This time he came to the headquarters so early to see the commissioner. Is there any progress in Wuyuan?"
"Jiansheng is really good at predicting things." Chairman Jiang chuckled and added, "Just now Yunong told me that shortly after the liberation of Baotou, the banner owners of the Urad Front Banner and the Tumed Left and Right Banners issued telegrams expressing their wishes.
Return to the central government, and now half of Suiyuan Province has been recovered."
"Really?" He Yingqin said, "This is a good thing."
"It's useless." Bai Chongxi smiled, shook his head and said, "These flag owners are just grassroots and will soon turn around."
"Yes, I think so too." Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Now these banner leaders have returned to the Central Committee because the Thirty-fifth Army won the Battle of Wuyuan and regained Baotou, but it won't be long before the Thirty-fifth Army
The Fifth Army will have a big fight at Guisui and then be completely defeated. At that time, these flag masters will fall to the Japanese again."
Chairman Chiang frowned and said: "The battle of Guisui is not guaranteed to be lost, right?"
"We may not necessarily lose?" Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "Commissioner, to be honest, I don't want the 35th Army to be defeated. I also hope that the 35th Army can recover and return to Suiyuan, and then recover the entire Suiyuan.
Province, but the reality is cruel, and war has its own iron laws, which are not subject to human subjective will."
Chen Cheng also said: "Yes, Fu Yisheng was too reckless this time."
He Yingqin said: "If you just close in after taking Baotou, you will have a great chance to stabilize your position. However, Fu Yisheng was dazzled by the victory. After taking Baotou, he actually swelled to the point where he thought that with one or two thousand exhausted
The division can win Guisui, but it is naive. Next, it is highly likely that victory will turn into defeat."
Bai Chongxi said: "This is not about the probability, but that you will definitely lose!"
Bai Chongxi said this sentence loud and clear without leaving any room for error.
At this moment, a senior counselor walked in excitedly with a folder and reported: "Commissioner, urgent call to Wuyuan!"
Chairman Chiang had just been criticized by three of his close aides and was agitated. He immediately waved his hand and said angrily: "Read it."
"Yes!" Senior Counselor agreed, and immediately opened the folder and read, "The National Army Headquarters, the First Division of our 35th Army, at 7:50 this morning, completely annihilated the Japanese troops in Guisui and the puppets in the Battle of Guisui.
The Mongolian army has now recovered from Guisui. So far, the Battle of Wuyuan has come to an end. Our army has annihilated a total of more than 25,000 Japanese troops and seized countless supplies..."
"Crack!" Before Gao Shen finished reading, the sound of breaking porcelain suddenly sounded in the war room.
When everyone looked back anxiously, they found that the celadon tea cup Bai Chongxi was holding in his hand had fallen to the ground and broke.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Seeing everyone's eyes looking over, Bai Chongxi immediately shouted, and then pressed the folder in Gao Shen's hand, but when he looked carefully, he could only see the telegram copy paper
The content of the writing was exactly the same as what Gao Shen had just read, and Bai Chongxi couldn't help but froze there.
The expressions of He Yingqin and Chen Cheng next to them also alternated between blue and white. They were as exciting as they wanted.
The slap in the face was really loud. They had just vowed that if Fu Zuoyi took advantage of the victory to attack Guisui, there would be absolutely no good results. But as soon as they finished speaking, Wuyuan sent a telegram saying that it was from Guisui.
The Japanese have been completely wiped out and Guisui has been liberated. Mother, why are you letting someone unpleasant become a senior staff member?
