Chapter 574 Huayuankou Crisis [Seeking Subscription, Monthly Pass, Seeking All Kinds! ! ! 〕

"Jianfei, how did the Fifth Army join the enemy, do you know the details?" Chen Feng asked again.

Although it was expected, Chen Feng was still very curious about the specific circumstances of Sun Dianying's defection to the enemy.You must know that this guy is not an unreasonable person. Although this bastard is double-faced and often does things such as giving birth to a child without an asshole, he has always coordinated the relationship between all aspects very well.He used Pang Bingxun's protection to avoid direct conflicts with the Kuomintang's direct troops; he used the relationship between Xing Zhaotang and the Eighth Route Army to make good friends with the Eighth Route Army, and occasionally he could get some clothing and medicine from the Eighth Route Army.

Although Sun Dianying's New Fifth Army fought the Japanese army many times in Hebei and Northern Henan.At the same time, he also had contacts with the Japanese.Near his headquarters of the New Fifth Army, he opened three guest houses to entertain the Kuomintang generals, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese respectively.

Although Sun Dianying also defected to the enemy in history, it was because the Japanese army dispatched 20 people to attack the Taihang Mountains, which directly led to Sun Dianying's defense line being surrounded on all sides. After being surrounded, Sun Dianying led his troops to surrender to the Japanese army.

It was Hua Rong who answered Chen Feng: "Our intelligence department has an eyeliner in the Fifth Army, and we are quite clear about this. After Jiang Dingwen succeeded General Wei Lihuang as the chairman of Henan Province and the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone, the batch of soldiers in Sun Dianying's hands The treasure was coveted, so he took the opportunity of the Japanese attack and transferred it to the east of Henan. Sun Dianying was worried that his treasure would be lost, so he deliberately stayed in the west of Henan through an elite infantry brigade of the New Fifth Army. A paratrooper raid came, and more than 7000 elite paratroopers suddenly appeared behind the New Fifth Army. Together with the Japanese troops on the front line of Lanfeng, they attacked the New Fifth Army and quickly surrounded it in Kaifeng!"

"The fifth county was originally a miscellaneous army. Although there were more than 7000 people, there were not enough weapons and food, and Sun Dianying left the elite in the west of Henan. Besides. The Japanese army assembled a century-old army to attack Lanzhou The line was closed, and Kaifeng was the main battlefield again. The consequences can be imagined. After the First World War, there were only less than 7000 people left in the New Fifth Army, and the rest were all killed. In desperation, Sun Dianying had to lead his troops to break through, but unfortunately failed. At this time Okamura Ningji sent someone to contact Sun Dianying to persuade him to surrender. This bastard surrendered, and all [-] troops surrendered to the enemy with him!"

Shi Jianfei also said: "The news came from Beiping last night that the North China Front Army Command has issued an order to change the New Fifth Army into the "Peace National Salvation Army" with Sun Dianying as the commander. The average is still a lieutenant general. Dianying's department has been transferred to Xuzhou!"

"It doesn't matter if a lieutenant general is not a lieutenant general. After all, the rank of the Japanese doesn't have much value, let alone a lieutenant general. What's the point of being a general? In the end, it's not a traitor. What are the Japanese doing now? "Chen Feng said.

Shi Jianfei also said: "After the Japanese army captured Kaifeng, they quickly divided into two groups. One group was cleared by armored troops and went straight to Zhengzhou. The other group of about two divisions went north all the way, and now they are almost reaching Xinxiang." [

While listening to Shi Jianfei's words, Chen Feng took a pencil to mark on the map. As soon as Shi Jianfei finished speaking, Chen Feng said: "The goal of the little devil is very clear! This is to occupy Zhengzhou and Northern Henan!"

"That's right, the Zhengzhou side is all cleared by mechanized troops. The speed of the advance is very fast, and it is likely to have passed Zhongmou County now, and it will take at most two days to reach Zhengzhou!" Shi Jianfei said.

The more Chen Feng looked at the map, the more familiar it became, and the more it felt wrong. This was almost the same as the situation between China and Japan before the catastrophe in history. The same soldiers approached the city, and the same large-scale mechanized troops entered.The soldiers were also divided into two groups, and Chen Feng broke out in a cold sweat immediately, this damn is the rhythm of death!

The more Chen Feng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he didn't care whether the two little guys wanted it or not. He put the little guy on the conference table, and lay down on the map to look carefully.

The last time the Japanese army advanced to the hinterland of Henan was three years ago. At that time, the Battle of Taierzhuang had just ended. Chiang Kai-shek made a foolish move in a feverish mind, which led to the danger of China's main force being surrounded in Xuzhou, so the Nationalist government hastily decided to abandon Xuzhou.At this moment, Kenji Doihara of the Japanese army led about 3 people from the 14th Division to forcibly cross the Yellow River. His purpose was to prevent reinforcements from the First War Zone from reinforcing Xuzhou, so the Battle of Lanfeng started.

The result was very sad. The 6 troops of the 12 armies in the first theater surrounded the 1 division of Doihara with 2 people, but let them run away. On the way, the 27th Army of Gui Yongqing, who was loved by Lao Jiang's confidant, was defeated. Lost Kaifeng.

Once Kaifeng was lost, Zhengzhou was in jeopardy.In desperation, Lao Jiang decided to put all his eggs in one basket and push aside the Yellow River.So Shang Zhen ordered a regiment of Wan Fulin's 53rd Army to use explosives to blow up the inclined stone foundation in the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou, and the Huayuankou embankment burst.It was raining heavily at that time, and the breach became bigger and bigger, and the water spread down, flowing along the Jialu River, turning the villages and towns in the Jialu River and Guohe River into a vast ocean.The water submerged Zhongmou, Weishi, Fugou, Xihua, and Shangshui, forming a vast water barrier.When the rapids of the Yellow River flowed into the Huaihe River, it submerged the bank of the Huaihe River. On July 1, the Bengbu Huaihe River Bridge was broken, and the area from Bengbu to Suxian became the country of Ze.

The disaster caused by the rupture of the Huayuankou Levee is absolutely unprecedented. It is one of the three major tragedies in the history of the Republic of China, together with the Changsha fire and the Chongqing air-raid shelter tragedy.Not to mention the effect of using water instead of soldiers, the losses caused to China alone are unbearable.

From the bursting of the Huayuankou embankment to the closure of the mouth in 1947, there were 325598 deaths in Henan due to yellow flooding, and 160200 deaths in Jiangsu. Adding the death toll in Anhui and other provinces and cities, at least 89 people died from yellow flooding. This catastrophe.Another tens of millions of people have become victims of disasters, and their disasters have lasted for decades, with extremely far-reaching impacts.Now that the Japanese army was approaching the city of Zhengzhou again, Chen Feng had to worry that the Nationalist government would open up the embankment of the Yellow River again.

Seeing that Chen Feng's expression became more and more serious, the atmosphere in the combat command room also became serious.As Chen Feng's pencil continued to draw across the map, everyone's hearts were suspended, even the two little guys were curious to see where Chen Feng was acting alone.

After a while, Chen Feng raised his head and asked, "What's the current situation in the First War Zone? Has the national government sent reinforcements?"

Shi Jianfei immediately said: "The three divisions of the Sixth War Zone have already set off from Hubei to rush to help Henan, but the journey is far away, so there is no hope at all. Now the only ones who can help the First War Zone and the Second War Zone, but because we have not received At the request of the First War Zone, we cannot send troops to Henan."

"Then Jiang Dingwen is going to defend Zhengzhou to the death?" Chen Feng asked again.

Shi Jianfei looked at Chen Feng, and said helplessly: "That bastard has no intention of defending Henan at all, let alone a mere Zhengzhou! While the Japanese army was attacking Eastern Henan, Jiang Dingwen called a meeting of senior generals in Zhengzhou. In addition to sending 3 The first division went to the east of Henan, and the four divisions in northern Henan were transferred to the vicinity of Zhengzhou, and there was no talk about the strategic purpose, deployment of troops, weapons and equipment of the Japanese army."

"Yesterday, it was reported that Jiang Dingwen moved the headquarters of the first war zone westward to Luoyang. At the same time, he asked all the group armies and military officers to transfer the officers' families, heavy luggage, and important documents to the rear as soon as possible. It seems that he does not intend to defend Zhengzhou. Besides, those recruits in the First War Zone can’t resist the Japanese unless we go south to reinforce them!”[

Yang Yi sighed and said, "It's not that we can't reinforce them, but we need a war zone to speak up. Otherwise, if we go south and enter Henan to fight, the old man thinks we are going to grab territory, and then we will be bitten by dogs for our good intentions."

Li Wensheng smiled and said, "It's not like we haven't done this before. It's the same as doing more for a while and less for a while. There's not much difference!"

Chen Feng said solemnly: "There is still a possibility for Jiang Dingwen to withdraw his troops from Zhengzhou. They will most likely use water instead of troops!"

"Substitute water for soldiers? Where does the water come from? How do you replace the soldiers?" Li Wensheng was obviously taken aback and asked.

Shi Jianfei looked at the map, and then seemed to think of something, his eyes were wide open, Huoxiang seemed to have seen a ghost.

"Jianfei, did you see it?" Chen Feng asked.

"I understand, Huang He?"

"Well, Huayuankou Levee!"

"How could they do this? They simply don't have time to evacuate so many people!" Shi Jianfei said loudly.

Chen Feng smiled bitterly and said: "They didn't even intend to evacuate the common people at all. Their intention was to use water instead of soldiers, and what they hit was a surprise. If they evacuated the common people with great fanfare, I'm afraid the little devil will get the news soon. Once the little devil has Take precautions, this substituting water for soldiers will become a joke."

"In addition, our chairman does not want to be insulted by this. He wants to put this shit on the heads of the Japanese. Once the people start to evacuate, won't they tell the people clearly that the Yellow River embankment was ordered by someone like Jiang So all of this will only be done in secret!"

"How many people will die here? Every diversion of the Yellow River is a disaster. Where will they put those innocent people?" Shi Jianfei asked in disbelief.

Chen Feng said with a solemn expression: "All this is just our speculation, maybe Jiang Dingwen just wants to give up Zhengzhou. But no matter whether they really plan to open the Yellow River embankment, or whether they have the idea of ​​using water instead of soldiers, For the safety of tens of millions of people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, we must take the initiative to attack. On the one hand, we ordered the troops to attack Shandong, encircle Wei and save Zhao and help Henan. At the same time, we sent a report to the old man asking to enter Henan to fight. From now on, we will order the air force to go south to attack the Japanese air force and prohibit them Enter the hinterland of Henan!"

"Yes!!!"
