When Xu Rui heard this, his eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice: "How long ago did this happen?"
"Let me think about it." Wang Husheng replied after recalling it for a moment, "It seems to have happened half a month ago."
"Half a month?" Xu Rui's eyes narrowed again when he heard this, and he said decisively, "So, the little devil's intention is already certain!"
Wang Husheng said: "Is it true? Who is it aimed at?"
Xu Rui said: "There is no doubt that they are going for the Soviet Far East Front!"
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "The two things mentioned by Shadow in the telegram may seem unrelated, but they actually provide two very important clues. Let me talk about the first thing first. The Japs are here.
A nationwide campaign to donate iron tools has been launched, and there is only one explanation for this: the Japanese factories are in urgent need of a large amount of scrap steel!"
Wang Husheng nodded and said, "This can be explained logically."
Xu Rui added: "What is the purpose of the Japanese collecting so much scrap steel in a short period of time? If it is to build a warship, it cannot be built in a year and a half. If it is to build aircraft or guns, it seems that
There is no need to go to such extreme lengths to go to war. After such an analysis, the answer is readily apparent. Yes, it is to rush to build tanks!"
"Build a tank?" Wang Husheng asked, "Does this have anything to do with the previous judgment?"
"Of course it does matter, and it matters a lot." Xu Rui said, "The reason is also very simple. If the Japs are targeting our Eighth Route Army guerrillas, the tanks currently equipped by the North China Front Army are enough, so why bother to rush to build tanks in a short time?
?According to the principle of elimination, these tanks are prepared for the Soviet army, so the enemy’s target is the Soviet army!”
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "Also, the second thing Shadow said also proves this point from another aspect. If I guessed correctly, the German advisory group that arrived in Japan more than half a month ago,
They should be here to guide the Japanese Kwantung Army to launch a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Far East Front, so the target of the Japanese is the Soviet Army!"
Wang Hushang let out a long ooh, and suddenly said: "That's really possible."
After a pause, Wang Husheng then asked: "If the target of the little devils is really the Soviet army and they really launch a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Far Eastern Front, how will they fight this battle?"
"I have discussed this many times with veterans, scholars, nerds, and Shouxin." Xu Rui took out a pencil and drew two arcs on the map, and then drew two sharp points on the top of the arcs.
, forming two arrows, and then pointed the pencil at the two arrows and said, "If the Japanese launch a blitzkrieg, it will only go in these two directions."
When Wang Husheng lowered his head to look, he saw that one of the two arrows started from Peiping, passed through the Mongolian Plateau and went straight into the hinterland of Siberia, while the other arrow started from Harbin and crossed the Tongjiang River eastwards.
Then follow the far eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway and go north behind Chita.
Seeing these two arrows clearly, Wang Husheng couldn't help but be stunned.
Because in his mind, no matter which one of these two choices he chooses, it can be called crazy and reckless. When it comes to fighting, how can you not care about what is behind you and just rush forward? If you really fight like this, it is really enjoyable.
What next? How can we support the logistics if we go thousands of miles alone? Isn’t this nonsense?
At that moment, Wang Husheng frowned and said, "Old Xu, are you reliable?"
Xu Rui said: "If it is just the little devil himself, it is not reliable, but if there is the guidance of the German advisory group, it is a high probability event. However, in comparison, I think the possibility of the little devil adopting the second option is higher
!" After saying that, Xu Rui took another arrow and drew a cross at the bottom of the second arrow.
Next to him, He Shuya and Huang Shouxin nodded in unison.
Obviously, the two of them agreed with Xu Rui's judgment.
Wang Husheng had no clue at all and said blankly: "What's the reason?"
Xu Rui said: "It's very simple. If the Japs chose the first option and used Peiping as the starting point, then they should have secretly gathered tank troops and infantry in Peking at this moment! Considering the confidentiality, the Japs will definitely do this.
We cover up and hide in every possible way, but it’s impossible not to leave any traces.”
Wang Husheng said: "According to the information provided by the underground party organization, the Japanese infantry is indeed gathering in Peiping."
"No, no, no, Lao Wang, you have misunderstood. This is not the same level at all." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "There are only a few infantry divisions assembled in Peiping. If we want to launch a blitzkrieg against Siberia, at least ten infantry divisions will have to be assembled.
More than 20 tank divisions and more than 20 infantry divisions!"
Nodding, Wang Husheng suddenly asked: "Old Xu, does this mean that the Soviet army will be in danger?"
"More than just danger!" Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "If the Japanese Kwantung Army is bold enough and follows the route I drew on the map, the Eastern Group of the Soviet Far East Front will be in danger of being completely destroyed.
!This means that the Soviet territory from the east of Chita City may fall into the clutches of the Japanese!"
Wang Husheng's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he said urgently: "No, we must quickly warn the Soviet Union!"
"Of course a warning is necessary!" Xu Rui nodded, then shook his head and said, "But a warning alone is not enough. We must also give the Soviet Red Army the help we can." After a pause, Xu Rui's eyes suddenly changed.
He was extremely sharp and said, "What's more, this is also a huge opportunity for us!"
"Good opportunity?" Wang Husheng said blankly, "What do you mean by that?"
Xu Rui said: "If the Japs really want to launch a blitzkrieg against the Eastern Cluster of the Soviet Far East Front as I said, this can almost be said to be a gamble on the fate of the country. To ensure victory in this battle, all the Japs' war resources will be directed to the Kwantung Army.
Tilt, that is why the Japanese did not hesitate to adopt a defensive posture on the Chinese battlefield."
Wang Husheng hummed slightly and said, "What next?"
Xu Rui added: "At this time, the little devils are actually most afraid of our counterattack!"
"That's true." Wang Husheng said, "No wonder some time ago, the Japs uncharacteristically deliberately spread rumors, claiming to launch a large-scale raid on the base areas behind enemy lines in North China. This is a typical public opinion war, trying to deceive and deceive us through public opinion offensives, forcing us to
Our army will devote its energy to defense, so that the little Japanese will live in peace."
"This is just a kid's wishful thinking." Xu Rui said happily, "We were not fooled."
Wang Husheng gave a heavy hum and said: "Old Xu, you really have the foresight."
Xu Rui chuckled and said: "The Japs in North China want to spend this period of time in peace, but we are not what they want. The more they are afraid of our counterattack at this time, the more we have to counterattack! In short, the more the Japs want us to do,
, the less we do it, the less the devil wants us to do something, the more we will do it!"
After a slight pause, Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "So, we have to strike first!"
"A pre-emptive strike?" He Shuya said solemnly, "launch a blitzkrieg against the Japanese in North China before the Japanese take action?"
"That's right!" Xu Rui nodded heavily and added, "Launch a blitzkrieg against the Japanese army in North China before the Japanese take action!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui turned to Zhuo Ligetu and said: "Artu, immediately call the battalion officers to come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting! Oh, by the way, invite Miss Xiang Ying, the reporter of the Central News Agency in Baotou, to attend the meeting!
"
Zhuoligetu agreed, turned around and hurried into the communications office next door to make a call.
Wang Husheng asked blankly: "Old Xu, what are you doing? Let Xiang Ying attend the meeting? It's not like you don't know that this little bitch is a spy sent by the military commander!" After a pause, he added, "Right now the Kuomintang and the
The little devils know each other's needs. If the military commander knows about our plan, it means that the little devils know about it."
Xu Rui chuckled and said, "Yes, I just want the Japanese to know our plan."
He Shuya reacted first and said: "Captain, this is a strategy of virtuality and reality. However, the traditional strategy of virtuality and reality is to use reality to defeat reality and virtuality to achieve reality. However, the commander did the opposite.
Of!"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Some people are like this. The more you tell the truth, the less they believe it."
Wang Husheng finally came to his senses, rolled his eyes and said, "Old Xu, you are quite cunning."
Xu Rui just smiled and accepted Wang Husheng's praise honestly and unceremoniously.
…
Two hours later, in Chongqing.
Chairman Chiang Kai-shek is summoning former Chief of Staff Yang Jie in the office of the General Headquarters.
Among the many senior generals of the National Army, Yang Jie is definitely the number one figure. There are only three and a half Chinese strategists recognized by the Japanese army circles, and Yang Jie is one of them! Bai Chongxi can only be regarded as half, and the remaining two
, General Jiang Baili died of illness last year, but Liu Shuai is in the Communist camp.
At this time, Yang Jie had returned from the Soviet Union. During his tenure as ambassador to the Soviet Union, he still did a lot of work, at least obtaining a lot of assistance for China.
However, in this time and space, due to Xu Rui's interference, the Soviet Union and the CCP had deeper contact, so that the unexpected existence of Baotou Industrial Zone appeared, which greatly affected Chairman Chiang's perception of Yang Jie.
, Chairman Chiang believed that this was caused by Yang Jie's poor work.
Therefore, Yang Jie had returned from the Soviet Union for several months, and he had repeatedly proposed to report his work to Chairman Chiang, but he was rejected by Chairman Chiang on the grounds that his schedule was too tight. To put it bluntly, Chiang Kai-shek didn't want to see Yang Jie!
However, we can't put it off forever, so today Chiang Kai-shek still took time to let Yang Jie report on his work.
It should be said that Chairman Chiang hates Yang Jie, the former chief of staff, to a certain extent. He wants to meet him whenever he meets him. He actually allows Kong Xiangxi, the Minister of Industry, and Mrs. Chiang to be present. Everyone in the entire Republic of China knows that Minister Kong Da and Mrs. Chiang
I have always regarded Yang Jie as a thorn in my flesh, and there is a public case about this.
