War of Resistance

Chapter 746
"Commissioner, welcome to come to the First War Zone to guide our work again!" Cheng Qian, the commander of the First War Zone, came forward with a few entourages and gave a military salute.

"Brother Songyun, I kept you waiting for a long time. The commander-in-chief of the war zone has turned down many official duties and came to pick me up, Jiang. It shows that I, Jiang, are more important in your hearts. I am flattered. .” Chiang Kai-shek smiled, it seemed very natural.

But Cheng Qian knew that Generalissimo Jiang was holding back the unhappiness in his heart at this moment.

The palace of a big man is very deep, more or less, there are many depths, especially for someone like Chairman Jiang, the palace is naturally deeper.

If you look at the outside, you can't see anything, but if you look at the recent events, especially the fall of Lan Feng, the chairman's mood will be a ghost—especially the order to execute Long Muhan, How outraged must this be to shoot the direct line generals?
You know, the direct line of Huangpu, in Chiang Kai-shek's heart, is a treasure, the pillar of the Central Army!
Pillar, how could it be so easy to move?

Ever since, Cheng Qian was very keenly aware of Chiang Kai-shek's state at this time.

"I'm so proud of the appointment. The appointment is the leader of the Republic of China, the leader who led the Chinese nation to fight the Japanese invaders in an all-round way. I, Cheng Songyun, have no other skills. If it is said that respecting the leader is a matter of duty. "Cheng Qian smiled and said.

"Okay, you and I, brothers, let's talk about the rest in the car! Go to the commander's headquarters of your first war zone first! The place is empty, and there are planes coming again. I'm afraid they will be attacked by Japanese planes. Let’s talk about it in the car!” Chiang Kai-shek set the tone with a smile, and he also knew that if he continued to exchange pleasantries at this time, it might be a waste of time.

"Please! Appointment!" Cheng Qian stretched out his right hand and made a "please" gesture.

After the two got into the car, they left Zhengzhou Airport directly and went to the Commander's Department of the First Theater Command in Zhengzhou.

……

The city of Zhengzhou is still bustling, but because of the arrival of Generalissimo Jiang, many gendarmes and sentries have been added along the way, and even the guards of the commander's department of the war zone have been dispatched a lot.

Seven military off-road jeeps drove along the road, and they were full of guards with live ammunition, um, and they were all guards equipped with DP38 charges!
And Chiang Kai-shek's classic car followed behind - but there were seven such classic cars, and it was impossible to know which one was Cheng Qian and Chiang Kai-shek's car.

Guards stood on both sides of the road at a density of one every five meters. They all looked very serious, because they knew that there would be a senior officer coming today, but they didn't know what level the officer was.

"salute!!!"

When the lead car of the convoy passed by, there were military officers standing aside shouting, and the troops saluted in unison.

From this one look, we can tell that these are the elite of the first war zone!
Lifting the curtains on the car window, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but nodded slightly: He was very satisfied with the mental outlook of these officers and soldiers!

"Brother Songyun, these soldiers of yours are very good. They are the elite of the Republic of China. I believe that if they are brought to the battlefield, they will definitely be able to fight fiercely." Chiang Kai-shek smiled.

"Chairman, this is a shame for me, Cheng. These soldiers are not my soldiers. They are the chairman's soldiers, and they are soldiers of the Republic of China." Cheng Qian smiled and said.

"Brother Songyun is still so humble..." Chiang Kai-shek pointed to Cheng Qian and smiled helplessly.

To be able to reach such a high position like Cheng Qian, apart from his own considerable ability, it is more due to his tact and insight into the world.

It didn't take long for Chiang Kai-shek's convoy to drive into the more heavily guarded First Theater Commander's Department.

It is a matter of the safety of the leader, and safety is absolutely the first priority.

……

After Chiang Kai-shek arrived at the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the first theater, he took a short break and directly convened a meeting of the senior military officials and staff of the first theater.

Standing at the front, Chiang Kai-shek took a very serious look at the people in front of him. He only saw the people in front of him, the lowest rank was also the rank of lieutenant general, and the higher rank was the first-rank general.

And the most normal one is the second-level general.

In other words, this is already a veritable meeting of senior officers.

"Everyone, the current situation is urgent. The Doihara Division of the Japanese Army, relying on the strength of its troops and the superior command of reinforcements, has now begun to attack the outer positions of Kaifeng. I believe everyone here knows this news, right?" Chiang Kai-shek asked knowingly. road.

The atmosphere in the venue was very solemn, and none of the generals dared to speak out, after all, the chairman still had something to say next.

"Now hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers are pointing directly at Kaifeng. The purpose is to take Zhengzhou, open up the Pinghan Road, and then fight to Wuhan. Little Japan forgets China and never dies. As soldiers, we also have trouble sleeping and eating. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any advice on how to defend Zhengzhou and Pinghan Road?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

But the scene was still completely silent, no one dared to speak out, it has already reached this level, can anyone have a solution?In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are paper tigers!

After a long time, apparently still silent, Chiang Kai-shek spoke up: "Okay! Since you don't say anything, let me talk about that! The only way to temporarily stop the advance of the Japanese army is to dig the Yellow River embankment."

After hearing this sentence, everyone began to raise their heads, and they knew that the real content was coming.

"In order to implement this plan smoothly, I have decided that the Shangzhen Office stationed on the Yellow River will carry out this task, and the location should be Zhaokou, where the embankment is thinner in Zhongmu County!" Chiang Kai-shek looked at the crowd and said, He hopes that these senior military officers can come up with some useful suggestions.

Unfortunately, to Chiang Kai-shek's disappointment, there was still silence.

"Then let's set it at Zhaokou!" Chiang Kai-shek was talking, while the staff next to him were quickly extracting the top-secret content of a secret meeting.

Seeing that no one had made any comments or objected, Chiang Kai-shek made a decision: "Order, Shang Zhen's headquarters, to send a division of troops to Zhaokou, Zhongmou County, to prepare for the breach of the embankment!"

"Yes! Appointed seat!" said one of the guards in Zhengzhou who followed Chiang Kai-shek.

……

Soon, an order was issued to Shang Zhen's No. 20 Army General Headquarters and received a top-secret order.

To the extent that this order is top secret, only Shang Zhen has the authority to read it, except for the dispatcher in charge of the secret message.

After receiving this order, Shang Zhen immediately sent a force to Zhaokou.

This unit is Shang Zhen's cronies - the new Eighth Division of the National Revolutionary Army!
After the new eighth division received the order, it immediately started to go to Zhaokou.

At the same time, Zhang Tianhai also began to lead the first regiment directly under the third war zone to Zhengzhou after the temporary rest.

Compared with the anxious time when he went from Lanfeng to Qi County, Zhang Tianhai was obviously much calmer this time.

Riding on the horse, Zhang Tianhai looked at the endless North China Plain, and suddenly felt emotional: next time I come here, maybe it will be a piece of Zeguo, right?Or maybe there is no chance to come here again!
But no matter what, he can no longer control this battle. The large Japanese army has already arrived here-the established strategic goal of the Japanese army is to win Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, and Wuhan.

Naturally, such an established battle goal would not be easily changed, and there was really nothing he could do.

"Let's go! Stay away from here!" Thinking, Zhang Tianhai sighed. Fortunately, he sent someone to pick up Wei He's parents. Brothers!

A man who promises to be a daughter!

Zhang Tianhai pulled the horse's head and left without looking back.

……

Half a day later, the new Eighth Division of Shang Zhen's No. 20 Group Army finally arrived at Zhaokou.

However, when the New Eighth Division arrived at Zhaokou, the main officers of the New Eighth Division felt confused—there was too much quicksand in Zhaokou, even though they had organized troops to dig a lot , but still not digging.

In their words, when will it be possible to dig through just like this?
However, the troops of the newly formed Eighth Division didn't just leave when they saw difficulties. They had been digging for a whole day.

During the excavation process, nothing happened to the front-line troops. The national army troops on the outskirts of Kaifeng were fighting to the death with the Japanese army's advancing troops!
Therefore, the pressure on the troops of the newly formed Eighth Division is also not ordinary.

After the telegram report from the commander of the newly-organized Eighth Division, the Commander-in-Chief of the First Theater Command immediately conducted emergency consultations.

When Chiang Kai-shek knew that Zhaokou was hopeless, he ordered to change the location and break the embankment again.

After urgent consultations, it was decided that the New Eighth Division stationed near the Yellow River would initially be located near Huayuankou, west of Zhaokou.

After receiving the latest order from Chiang Kai-shek, the commander of the new Eighth Division immediately led the troops to Huayuankou to start preparations.

And when the headquarters of the new eighth division arrived at Huayuankou, it was also when Zhang Tianhai led the troops to Zhengzhou.

In Zhengzhou, Zhang Tianhai did not see Chiang Kai-shek like last time. He received an order: "After the troops arrive in Zhengzhou, immediately take the train and go south to Wuhan."

After receiving this order, Zhang Tianhai's heart sank slightly, but he continued to board the train with the troops.

The scene outside the train was flying backwards. Sitting in the special seat for the officer, Zhang Tianhai just quietly leaned against the window without saying a word. Everyone knew that he was in a bad mood, so he also Did not dare to speak out.

But only he himself knows that the reason for his bad mood is that the levee at Huayuankou of the Yellow River will be blown up soon. No matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to change history. Commander, even if his regiment is a reinforced regiment, in front of hundreds of thousands of Japanese main forces, it is still a scumbag!
Well, I'm just an ordinary person.Thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai pulled off his military cap and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The battles outside Kaifeng continued. Lieutenant General Doihara Kenji swept away the downturn that had been suppressed a few days ago, and led the frontline troops to rush forward all the way, in order to avenge their revenge and shame.

In order to let this breath out, Kenji Doihara ordered the troops to launch wave after wave of onslaughts: he wanted to take Kaifeng as quickly as possible, and he wanted to use this achievement to prove to the world that he, Kenji Doihara, Still that rising star in the military world!

"Your Excellency, General! The battle in Zhongmu has reached a stalemate, the enemy's resistance is very strong, and the troops in front have suffered heavy losses!" A lieutenant officer hurriedly ran to Kenji Doihara and reported.

Doihara Kenji narrowed his eyes slightly, and cursed: "Heavy losses?! Can you stop moving forward after heavy losses?! How did the emperor teach you?! What is the spirit of bushido?! Hachiro!!"

Hearing Lieutenant General Doihara Kenji's swearing, everyone around him couldn't help but stare sideways at him: Doihara Kenji has a background in intelligence, is particular about the city, has depth, and has always been polite or The attitude is tough, but now?Lieutenant General Doihara was so angry that it was rare.

what does that mean?This means that Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara is really angry, and not just ordinary.

"Hay!" The lieutenant officer responded, and hurried down to convey the order of Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara.

What order did Kenji Doihara give?This is a dead order!
Moreover, the frontline troops must take Kaifeng's death order within a limited time!
With this order, the frontline combat troops of the Japanese army fought more fiercely. They desperately took Kaifeng too!
The frontline troops of the Japanese army fought in a hurry, and the national army would naturally not feel better. It can be said that they were beaten so loudly that they almost couldn't hold on.

Especially the national army troops in Zhongmu County fought even harder.

In view of these circumstances, the front-line commanders of the national army couldn't hold it anymore, and kept asking for help from the headquarters of the First Corps, and even from the Commander-in-Chief of the First Theater Command!
With such a critical situation, Chiang Kai-shek became anxious and decided to dig the levee at Huayuankou of the Yellow River. , Absolutely can't capitalize on the enemy!

During this process, Chiang Kai-shek was worried that his subordinates would be passive in execution, and repeatedly urged his subordinates to dig embankments through oral instructions and telegrams, not to have "womanly benevolence."

In the early morning of June 1938, 6, after two days and two nights of non-stop excavation, almost at the same time that Zhongmu, 9 kilometers away from Zhengzhou, fell, Huayuankou was finally dug.

The rushing water of the Yellow River began to pour out along the gap, from slow to rapid!
Wherever they pass, there are Ze Kingdoms everywhere!
After the Huayuankou breached, the water of the Yellow River quickly drained down the Jialu River.

The next day, a heavy rain fell in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the water volume of the Yellow River increased sharply!
As a result, the breach at the entrance of the garden was washed away.At the same time, the blocked Zhaokou was also washed away by the flood.

After the two streams of Zhaokou and Huayuankou converged, the Jialu River began to overflow. The overflowing river broke the Longhai Railway and flowed mightily to the southeast of Henan.

This is an evil man-made disaster. The flood began to rush forward with the power of destroying the world, and even the earth couldn't help trembling slightly because of it.

The villages they passed by immediately turned into ruins!
