Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

National uproar

The deputy chief of staff, Xiong Shaowen, after being criticized two days ago, finally began to be by Li Guosheng's side, conscientiously serving as the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters, and no longer participated in any factional struggles.

At this moment, seeing the victory telegram sent by Master Zhang Zizhong, Xiong Shaowen's heart, apart from his admiration for Zhang Zizhong, was also his admiration for Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng's accurate vision of people.

If the chief had listened to his advice at that time, he would have replaced Zhang Zizhong, the frontline commander in Sinuiju.Xiong Shaowen can say with certainty that the war in Sinuiju will never end so quickly and achieve such great results: not only half of the division flag representing the existence of the Japanese First Division was captured by the Japanese army, but also the Japanese lieutenant general division head.

After repeatedly confirming the accuracy of the telegram, the excited Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen rushed to Li Guosheng's office. [

I saw Li Guosheng who was facing the map and studying the situation of the war.Xiong Shaowen didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Chairman, good news... Xinyizhou good news...>

Li Guosheng's eyes flashed sharply because of Xiong Shaowen's report.Quickly took the telegram and started browsing.Xiong Shaowen, who had seen the telegram for the first time, was stunned for ten seconds before Li Guosheng recovered from the contents of the telegram.At the same time, a face was immediately shrouded in surprise.

Facing Xiong Shaowen, he said excitedly: "Okay, Zhang Zizhong really lived up to the trust of the headquarters, he played really well...>

Then, pick up a pencil yourself.Erase the sign representing the Japanese army on the map of Sinuiju County.Then, between Sinuiju and the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army.Draw a giant arrow representing the attack of the troops.

Seeing what Li Guosheng did, Xiong Shaowen, the deputy chief of staff, understood and asked back: "Boss, you mean to take advantage of the victory to attack and continue to march towards the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters..."

Li Guosheng shook his head and said: "I also want to attack the Japanese Kwantung Army General Command, and completely wipe the Japanese Kwantung Army, together with their first division, from the Japanese army system. However, this goal must be achieved. Easier said than done...>

"The troops in Zhang Zizhong's hands seem to be strong, but they have actually reached the point where they are strong on the outside and dry on the inside."

"After several days of high-intensity combat, and the entire army of the 242nd regiment was destroyed. I can say with certainty that Zhang Zizhong still has less than three regiments to use. More importantly, the mountainous terrain of the entire division in North Korea is difficult for us. With heavy weapons in hand, it is difficult to go deep into the hinterland of North Korea in a short period of time. Launch an attack on the Kwantung Army Command. And the last point is air support. The location of the Japanese Kwantung Army Command is just right. It happens to be in our dive mode It is outside the combat range of bombers. Once the army penetrates deep into North Korea, not only will it not be supported by heavy weapons such as artillery fire, but even air support will be lost..."

Since it was not a frontal attack on the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the true meaning of the attack arrow marked on the map by the Headquarters.It goes without saying.

Sure enough, just when Xiong Shaowen had an expression of enlightenment on his face.Commander Li Guosheng's decisive voice of orders has already sounded in the office: "Record the combat order immediately: Commander Zhang Zizhong is sent to the division commander to immediately deploy two infantry regiments, equipped with a certain number of heavy weapons, and quickly attack the Kwantung Army headquarters. The two The infantry regiment must give the Japanese an offensive posture to aggressively attack the Kwantung Army headquarters, and draw all the attention of the Japanese and Korean garrison troops to the Kwantung Army headquarters, leaving no time for the Northeast War..."

"Yes, Chief...>

Just when Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen was about to leave, Li Guosheng suddenly thought of something and continued to ask: "Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong, does the Chief of Staff know about the great victory in Sinuiju...>

In less than half an hour, the deputy chief of staff, Xiong Shaowen, appeared in front of Li Guosheng again.However, at this moment, what Xiong Shaowen brought was not the battle report from the front line, but a suggestion telegram from Chief of Staff Jiang Baili.

"Immediately make public all the achievements of the Ninth Army since the start of the war...>

Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen, who knew the content of the telegram one step ahead, nodded noncommittally, and replied: "Yes, Chief...>

All the main force of the Ninth Army entered the three northeastern provinces to participate in the war, and the main force of the Japanese army gathered in the three northeastern provinces totaled more than 15 people.Moreover, there are a large number of reinforcements, which are constantly rushing from the country to the three northeastern provinces to participate in the war.

With such a huge disparity in troop strength, all major local forces in the country believe that the Ninth Army, which has always been rivaled, will admit defeat this time.

If the Ninth Army is defeated in the Northeast battlefield, then Shandong Province, which is almost empty of troops, will become a huge and attractive piece of fat invisibly, and it will be placed in front of the major local forces around Shandong Province. Step forward and take a bite.

In order to gain the upper hand, these local forces couldn't help but start to act before the Northeast War had any results.A large number of elite troops have assembled towards the border of Shandong Province, and agents and intelligence personnel belonging to various local forces have also begun to infiltrate places in Shandong Province that their bosses have long preferred...[

Facing the surrounding military pressure, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili is not afraid.However, he didn't want to see such a good situation in Shandong Province being destroyed by a war.

Therefore, for this upcoming counterattack.Jiang Baili didn't want to fight.

And at this moment, the Ninth Army annihilated the First Division of the Japanese Army.Jiang Baili had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of a man who didn't need to fight.The easy way to retreat...>

Announce all the results of the Ninth Army and tell everyone that the Northeast War is already under the control of the Ninth Army.Tell all the local forces who dare to provoke the Ninth Army, the Ninth Army has a superior force, and even the elite First Division of the Japanese Army can be wiped out, not to mention these local forces that do not even have complete weapons and equipment...

Through this telegram, Li Guosheng immediately understood Jiang Baili's good intentions.Without the slightest hesitation, he directly replied the word 'agree' to Jiang Baili.

....................................

Chiang Kai-shek Presidential Palace in Nanjing, He Yingqin, Minister of Military and Political Affairs.Regardless of the obstruction of the guards along the way, he rushed into Lao Jiang's office anxiously.

Ignoring Lao Jiang's surprised eyes that quickly swept towards him, he raised the telegram in his hand to Lao Jiang and reported: "'Chairman', the situation in the Northeast War has changed. This is a plain code telegram just sent by the Ninth Army Command. , the Japanese Kwantung Army, hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese Kwantung Army, was defeated by Li Guosheng...>

"What did you say? The Kwantung Army was defeated by Li Guosheng..." Lao Jiang asked He Yingqin with a look of disbelief as if he had heard a big joke.

He Yingqin nodded and replied: "Although the Kwantung Army entrenched in the three northeastern provinces has not been completely defeated. However, according to the current attack process of the Ninth Army, it is not far from the final defeat...>

"According to the Ninth Army's public telegram display, the First Division of the Japanese Army was wiped out in Sinuiju, North Korea an hour ago, and even their lieutenant general and division commander was captured alive by Li Guosheng..."

Seeing Lao Jiang's serious face instantly, He Yingqin continued to speak: "To wipe out the First Division of the Japanese Army, it can only be regarded as a small victory for the Ninth Army. The real big victory is to happen. An air-sea decisive battle at the mouth of the Yalu River...>

"According to the power-on display of the Ninth Army: The Japanese Navy escorted the escort fleet of three army divisions, a total of one medium-sized aircraft carrier, three battleships, four heavy cruisers, and eight destroyers...>

Faced with this completely unexpected ending, Lao Jiang even overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Ninth Army as much as possible.However, I still never imagined that the Ninth Army would achieve such great results in such a short period of time.

After a short period of contemplation, he asked He Yingqin in a deep voice: "That is to say, in just one week, the Ninth Army has achieved a huge victory in eliminating four Japanese army divisions and one escort fleet...>

He Yingqin shook his head, and responded with a serious face: "'Chairman', the results of the Ninth Army are far more than these...>

Such a great result was actually achieved by a local force.Lao Jiang, who was sitting in his seat and was the supreme ruler of the Republic of China, was completely irritated.

Facing He Yingqin in front of him, he roared loudly: "Niang Xipi, who can tell me how Li Guosheng won the battle? There are 10,000+ elite Japanese troops, and dozens of large ships that even the National Government's navy is afraid of. The ship was actually eaten by him...>

In the face of Lao Jiang's anger, Dai Li, who failed to fulfill his responsibilities, the only thing he can do is to endure.

It wasn't until Lao Jiang's anger gradually calmed down that Dai Li mustered up the courage to say, "Report to the principal, it's all students who made mistakes, please punish the principal..."

To his confidant students, even if Lao Jiang had resentment in his heart, he would not express it.After all, they are all under their own faithful tree.After waving his hands weakly, he said, "Forget it, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, you must pay attention next time. Otherwise, even I can't protect you..."

"Principal, please rest assured that the students promise to live up to the high expectations of the principal, and increase the intelligence penetration of the three northeastern provinces... >

subsequently.Facing Lao Jiang who was slowly calming down, he continued to speak: "Principal, since the occupation of the three northeastern provinces has changed, the strength of the main force of the Ninth Army still exists. The students thought that we gave the Central Army around Shandong Province a few days ago. The combat order must be withdrawn immediately. Otherwise, once a conflict between the two armies arises, the current combat power of the Ninth Army will definitely not be able to bear for the time being..."

Although Lao Jiang was unwilling in his heart, in the face of the absolute strength possessed by the Ninth Army.Have to admit this fact.Facing the two confidants, he said with a distressed face: "Mother Xipi, since this is the case, this time, let Li Guosheng go...give orders to the frontline departments to immediately separate from the jiēchu of the Ninth Army and retreat [-] kilometers..."

"The 'Chairman' (principal) is wise...>

………………………………>

Yan Xishan's official residence in Taiyuan, Shanxi, was powered on in the face of the clear code just released by the Ninth Army.for a few days.Chief Yan Xishan, who thought he could take revenge, at this moment, seemed to have fallen into the abyss in an instant, with a single face.Instantly shrouded in complex expressions of helplessness and despair

After quickly tearing all the telegrams in his hand into pieces, he asked the staff around him in a deep voice: "Everyone is talking. I'm dumb. Could it be that our Jinsui Army just let go of such a good opportunity for revenge. I'm not reconciled, I Absolutely not reconciled...>

Under Yan Xishan's sharp gaze.The chief staff member had no choice but to respond: "Director, it's not that we have to let go of such a good opportunity for revenge, but that we have to give up this opportunity for revenge. Otherwise, the entire Shanxi, the entire Jinsui Army, will become the Ninth Army's revenge object...>

As soon as the voice fell, the Chief of Staff of the Jinsui Army followed closely and said: "Director, the Ninth Army is no longer an ordinary warlord in China. It is the entire territory of China, except for the Nanjing Central Government." The second largest military strength outside China. How could such an elite that could wipe out even the First Division of the Japanese Army be vulnerable..."

Having said that, the chief of staff quickly walked to the map and said, "According to the intelligence, the Ninth Army, which stands in front of the four main divisions of our Jinsui Army, has a main division and a local garrison brigade. The Ninth Army Although the strength of the group army is only one-third of ours, everyone should not forget that the main division standing in front of us is one of the three main divisions of Li Guosheng, commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army..."

"Compared with the combat effectiveness of the ordinary main divisions of the Ninth Army on the battlefields of the three northeastern provinces, if we want to break through the Ninth Army's defense line, we must be mentally prepared to pay for the complete annihilation of two main divisions..."

Yan Xishan, who was sitting on the main seat, asked in disbelief: "Chief of Staff, what do you mean, our Jinsui Army paid at least two divisions to completely annihilate one of the main divisions of the Ninth Army..."

"No...>

Seeing Yan Xishan looking at him with puzzled eyes, the chief of staff responded in a deep voice: "Director, paying the price of two main divisions, we still have no ability to wipe out this main division, we can only defeat it..."

After paying such a huge loss, I still can't get any benefits that are beneficial to myself.Not only that, but I have to be ready to deal with the military retaliation of the Ninth Army against me at any time.Of course the shrewd Yan Xishan would not do such a thankless task.

After a long sigh, he had to make a decision to withdraw troops.

.......................................

At the same time, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xueliang of the Pingjin Northeast Army Command, after reading this telegram.The hope of counterattacking Liaoning that had just been ignited in my heart and driving all the Ninth Army out of Liaoning Province was instantly extinguished.

The 15 elite Japanese army was so easily wiped out by the Ninth Army, what about the [-] Northeast Army that he could use.Once entering the three northeastern provinces, how long can the [-] Northeast Army last under the attack of the Ninth Army?

The face of Zhang Xueliang, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, was instantly enveloped in gloom, and he fell into deep thought.

Chief of Staff Rong Zhen was also filled with shock.However, he did not immediately become at a loss like the young Zhang Xueliang.

After a short period of contemplation, facing Zhang Xueliang in front of him, he decisively suggested: "Commander-in-Chief, the occupation of the three northeastern provinces by the Ninth Army has become a foregone conclusion. If our Northeast Army wants to return to the three northeastern provinces, we must rely on the existing Pingjin, Rehe, Wipe Hal and other places, re-gather strength, until one day surpasses the Ninth Army...>

Seeing Zhang Xueliang nod his head helplessly, Chief of Staff Rong Zhen continued to speak: "So, for the future of our Northeast Army, in order to return to the three northeastern provinces. We must ensure the safety of all occupied areas."

"But now, in order to counterattack the three northeastern provinces, almost all the main forces of our Northeast Army are concentrated in Shanhaiguan and Rehe. Once the Northwest Army in the west and the Jinsui Army in the south attack us, I can't guarantee it. With those partial divisions, we can Secure all occupied areas."

Faced with the chief of staff's suggestion that he could no longer understand, in Zhang Xueliang's heart, no matter how unconvinced he was about the fact that Li Guosheng was in the three northeastern provinces, he had no choice but to accept it aggrievedly.Facing Chief of Staff Rongzhen in front of him, he ordered in a deep voice: "In this case, then I, Zhang Xueliang, will bear it a little longer. Sooner or later, I, Zhang Xueliang, will return to Shenyang City..."

Afterwards, Zhang Xueliang, who clenched his fists tightly, did not hesitate, and continued to order: "Chief of Staff, just do as you say...>

"The commander-in-chief is wise, and the humble post will be dealt with immediately... >
