Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Jiang Haoran's words silenced everyone in the room. Everyone knew who was responsible for the current situation, but no one thought it was a mistake. Compared with the Yan'an army, the Japanese army was more like a scourge. It is undoubtedly a wise decision to eliminate them by hand.

As for the consequences of China's war of resistance, I believe everyone in the room knows, but they all think it's worth it.It's just that they didn't expect that it would bring trouble or even disaster to the expeditionary army, so they didn't know how to answer Jiang Haoran's question at this meeting.

"Since you all feel that liberating Wuhan is not an easy task, why do you propose liberating Wuhan at this time?"

In the end, it was the Chairman who broke the silence. The Communist Party must be destroyed, but it must not be at the expense of the expeditionary force. If the Burma Road cannot be opened, the domestic situation cannot be reversed. This point is still very clear to the Chairman.

Jiang Haoran sighed, showing helplessness, and said, "Isn't there nothing I can do? As soon as I heard that the Japanese army had invested four more divisions in Burma, I rushed back immediately. A little pressure, after two months, I don't know how many Japanese soldiers my expeditionary force will face."

The Chairman said: "Then what do you think is the chance of winning back Wuhan?"

"Then it depends on who will fight?"

"What if I leave it to you to fight?"

Jiang Haoran rubbed his chin with his hands, pondered for a few seconds, and replied with certainty: "Eighty percent!"

"Eighty percent?" A bright light flashed in the chairman's eyes. Although it was fleeting, it was caught by Jiang Haoran keenly. The recovery of Wuhan is of great significance to the chairman. Jiang Haoran is especially aware of this, and immediately strikes while the iron is hot. Said: "Besides, your goal can still be achieved, just let them earn a little reputation."

"Ah?????? You mean??????" The chairman's pupils shrank sharply, and his expression of excitement was beyond words, "Tell me, tell me about your preliminary plan."

Jiang Haoran smiled slightly, picked up the command stick again, drew a circle on the map around Huangshan and Jingdezhen, and said: "My No. 40 Group Army quickly surrounded Huangshan with two divisions and the Hurricane Column, and the New Fourth Army went straight to Peng Ze , after our army captured Huangshan, we immediately marched towards Chizhou, and quickly took Chizhou, and joined forces with the New Fourth Army to control the Yangtze River waterway, blocking the reinforcement of Japanese troops in the direction of Nanjing. At the same time, in the direction of Nanchang, two divisions went to the front of De'an to attack De'an , my No.40 Army is the assist."

As Jiang Haoran said, he swung his command stick, and drew a line in the area of ​​Yueyang, Tongcheng, and Xiushui, and said: "Wuhan front, attack Yueyang, Tongcheng, and Xiushui with at least nine divisions from three group armies at the same time. , go hand in hand, tear apart the Japanese defense line at all costs, and attack as the main attack.”

With a wave of his command stick, Jiang Haoran went to the direction north of Wuhan, and continued: "Here, Degong's Fifth War Zone also assembled troops to attack Jingzhou, Suizhou, and Xinyang at the same time, but the focus is not on Jingzhou and Suizhou, but on the Xinyang, Jingzhou, and Suizhou can feign an attack with a small number of troops, but Xinyang must gather superior forces to quickly capture it, and it must be captured within three days. Railway, to the north to prevent the reinforcement of the Japanese army, and to the south to prevent the retreat of the Japanese army in Wuhan???????

"Wait, Brother Ziqian!" General Li, the commander-in-chief of the fifth war zone, stepped forward and interrupted Jiang Haoran, saying, "It may not be difficult to take down Xinyang in a short time if my fifth war zone suddenly rises up, but Xinyang In the past, there were Zhumadian and Xuchang, and the entire defense line of the Ping-Han Railway was full of Japanese troops. The geographical location of Xinyang is so important. Once Xinyang was besieged, the Japanese troops from these two places and the Japanese troops from Wuhan would not flock to them. How can the army defend Xinyang?"

Facing Admiral Li's questioning like a storm, Jiang Haoran smiled strangely, and asked back: "Mr. De, I heard that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has moved to the Pingdingshan area?"

Admiral Li was taken aback for a moment, apparently not knowing why Jiang Haoran suddenly asked this question, but he replied straightforwardly: "Yes, according to reliable information, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army and is currently operating in this area."

"Then do you know how many of them there are?"

"The specifics are not very clear, but they have a wide range of activities, from Luoyang to Pingdingshan to Wugang and Nanyang. They are everywhere. It is initially estimated that there are two divisions with a strength of more than [-]. Some time ago, the Japanese army carried out a large-scale attack. After suppressing them, troops from Zhumadian and Xuchang were mobilized, but I heard that they didn't take advantage of it."

Jiang Haoran nodded, thinking for a while, and glanced at the chairman. From his calm expression, it is not difficult to see that the chairman has already understood all this, but the old man probably never dreamed that the Eighth Route Army The number of people far exceeds the information he has obtained, and the number has reached 10,000+.The chairman has always dreamed of destroying the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army by the hands of the Japanese army, or driving them to the north of the Yellow River. This is not difficult to see from the Southern Anhui Incident. Agree to Jiang Haoran's next plan.

Jiang Haoran said slowly: "In my opinion, the task of attacking Zhumadian and stopping the enemy can be handed over to the Eighth Route Army, so as to relieve De Gong's worries."

There was an uproar at the headquarters, and General Li suddenly felt like a bee sting, and said sharply: "What, hand over the backs of our army to the Eighth Route Army, what are you kidding, whether those mud-legged people can take down Zhumadian or not, and block the Japanese army The reinforcements? Absurd, it is absolutely absurd, I firmly disagree with this plan!"

As soon as General Li finished speaking, the chairman of the committee also said: "Yes, Haoran, this plan will not work. Even if your plan is successful, the Eighth Route Army will enter northern Anhui after the war and join forces with the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui. If they are all dead, they will be able to gain a firm foothold on both sides of the Yangtze River."

Jiang Haoran had long thought of this ending, and of course he had a way to deal with it. He first answered Admiral Li's question. The Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese army behind enemy lines for a long time, and they have rich combat experience. Although they were poorly equipped, they were flexible in tactics. , especially good at railway sabotage battles, the famous Hundred Regiments Battle, the Zhengtai Road sabotage battle in the first stage is a typical case, and they fought very successfully.Moreover, since they have the ability to jump out of the enemy's encirclement and smash the enemy's encirclement and suppression, it shows that their strength is far from being as weak as imagined, and they are fully capable of taking down Zhumadian and blocking the enemy's reinforcements. Of course, the premise is whether they are willing contribute.
