Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 415 Cherepanov

Xiao Ningxin looked at Xiao Ya, "Xiaoya, I'll contact your brother-in-law about this matter."

"However, you have to be prepared for this chaos."

Regarding Xiao Ningxin's words, Xiao Ya also understood, "Sister, don't worry, I'm mentally prepared, but this person has to see his body when he dies, and he has to have faith in his life!"

Seeing that Xiao Ya was mentally prepared, Xiao Ningxin stopped being coy and contacted Yu Hua through Xiao's radio station.

In the later period of the Xuzhou Battle, Liu Changqing led the independent brigade and evacuated with Yu Hua. Now the troops are resting in a small county in Anhui Province.

The 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army withdrew from Xuzhou in a dispersed way, with a division or a brigade withdrawing in an orderly manner.

In a small western-style building in the southeast corner of the county seat, this is both the headquarters of the Independent Brigade and the headquarters of the 22nd Sichuan Army.

The headquarters is brightly lit, and there are many people who come and go in a hurry, because the Sichuan Army is now contacting various units.

"Report!" The signal soldier walked into the headquarters, "Adjutant Yu, commander, received a message from Jin Jizhong's brigade on the battlefield behind enemy lines."

"What did the telegram say?" Sun Zhen didn't lift his head.

"A part of the battalion under Jin Jizhong's brigade was spotted by the Japanese army when it was active in the area around Hutou Mountain and Qingfengzhai. This small unit was almost wiped out by the Japanese army."

"Slay the bandits from Qingfengzhai on this road, repel the Japanese army, and save Wang Changsheng and his group."

Hearing this, Sun Zhen praised: "I didn't expect the bandits in Qingfengzhai to be a reliable team!"

"I remember the person taking the lead is called Zhu Ziming, right?"

"Commander, the leader of the person who rescued our Sichuan Army this time is named Zhou Weiguo."

"What?!" Yu Hua shouted, "Call Zhou Weiguo?"

"Yes, it's called Zhou Weiguo!"

Sun Zhen looked at Yu Hua, "Brother Yu, is there anything special about this Zhou Weiguo? Are you so surprised?"

"Brother Sun, we'll talk about this later." Yu Hua looked at the signal corps, "Has Jin Jizhong's brigade reported the specific situation of this person named Zhou Weiguo?"

"Yes!" The messenger nodded, and then introduced Zhou Weiguo's specific information to Yu Hua.

Yu Hua's eyes widened after hearing this. This is really the familiar Zhou Weiguo!Unexpectedly, he went to Xuzhou this time and invested in Qingfengzhai. This historical inertia is big enough.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Hua began to introduce Zhou Weiguo to Sun Zhen, "Commander-in-Chief, this Zhou Weiguo is also a figure in the Central Army. When he was at Huangpu Military Academy, he led the cadets to annihilate Gui Yongqing's Western Army. Duan The Western Army Command Post was lost, and all the senior officers of the Western Army Command Post were killed."

"Moreover, there were German military advisers at that time, and Zhou Weiguo was annihilated, which made this kid suddenly fall into the eyes of Principal Chang. It was the assault battle that made the German military advisers look at the Republic of China army in a different light, and agreed with the National Government Send soldiers to Germany to study in depth.”

After listening to Yu Hua's introduction, Sun Zhen clapped his hands and said: "This Zhou Weiguo is really a character, amazing!"

"Such a person in the bandit's den is really inferior. I have to send a message to Jin Jizhong, asking him to abduct Zhou Weiguo into our Sichuan army."

After several wars, Sun Zhen felt more and more the importance of talents. In the retreating Lu Province, whenever Sun Zhen thought they were talents and encountered them on the road, he would first abduct this person to the Sichuan Army.

Hearing Yu Hua's introduction now, this Zhou Weiguo is simply an extraordinary talent, such a talent, Sun Zhen's eyes are hot!

And at this moment, a messenger came to Yu Hua, "Adjutant Yu, a telegram came from home."

Yu Hua took a look at the telegram and found that his wife was actually related to Zhou Weiguo's fiancée Xiao Ya.

This Xiao Ya is still asking her wife to contact the Sichuan army behind the enemy to find out news about Zhou Weiguo.

Sun Zhen also asked Yu Hua if something happened in Sichuan Province, Yu Hua said nothing happened, and briefly explained the situation to Sun Zhen.

"Good thing!" After Sun Zhen found out, his face was overjoyed. "Brother Yu, you have to let your siblings contact Xiao Ya more often. Let's try to get Zhou Weiguo into our team."

Zhou Weiguo, when Yu Hua watched "Snow Leopard", he also admired him a lot. Now that he has traveled to the fusion world, Yu Hua has eyes for this talent who is proficient in multiple national languages, plus the special operations of the Zhou Wei Congress.

Yu Hua sent a telegram back to Xiao's family, asking Xiao Ningxin to tell Xiao Ya that Zhou Weiguo is fine, alive and kicking, and is now fighting behind enemy lines in Lu Province.

At this time, Li Delin of the Fifth War Zone was located in a small town in the northwest corner of Southern Anhui Province.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Delin coughed violently.

After the medical soldier treated Li Delin, he said softly: "Sir, you have a bad cough. You need to go to the Foreign Hospital in Hankou for hospitalization."

"In our place, the medical conditions are poor, and the treatment plan is definitely not as good as Hankou."

Bai Zhuge on the side saw it and nodded in agreement, "Lao Li, go to Hankou for treatment, this disease cannot be delayed, don't worry, I will show you in the fifth war zone."

Li Delin still had confidence in his old buddy Bai Zhuge, so he asked Lao Bai to draft a telegram and sent it to the Jinling Command in Hankou.

At the Jinling Headquarters in Hankou, the conference room fell into silence. The atmosphere in the entire conference room was a bit depressing, making people feel uncomfortable.

Because of the defeat in the Battle of Lanfeng, the Central Army's troops retreated very quickly. The Japanese 14th Division, under the leadership of Kenji Doi, beat the shit out of Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie's troops.

Compared with the local army commanded by Li Delin, which achieved a great victory in Taierzhuang and annihilated tens of thousands of Japanese troops, the Sichuan army also achieved a great victory in Teng County, but the Central Army was defeated.

This result really embarrassed the Central Army.As the commander-in-chief of the Lanfeng Battle, Xue Laohu was the first to speak.

"The main reason for this battle was that some generals did not obey the command, and the troops retreated quickly and did not arrive at the planned location."

"As a result of our defeat in the battle, the enemy's strength is one to five, and we are still encircling the Japanese army. It is a shame that the little devil's division can't find its way and retreat all the way."

"Li Delin commanded the local army. With five to one troops, he was able to win the Taierzhuang victory. In my opinion, our central army generals are too proud, and we should kill some generals of the central army who did not obey orders."

"Just like the killing of Han Fuqu, the blood of the soldiers must be poured out with blood. A group army general of the local army was executed. The morale of the local army increased greatly, and they fought bravely and won the great victory at Taierzhuang."

In the battle of Lanfeng, it stands to reason that as long as the generals of all parties obey the command, Xue Huo can also create a great victory in Lanfeng.

Some generals also echoed, "That's right, Han Fuqu can be killed, so can the generals of our Central Army."

Xue Huhu saw that someone had an opinion with him, so he stood up, "Okay, okay... If that's the case, then I'll be the villain."

"The passivity in the Lanfeng battle this time is entirely the fault of Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie. I propose that they be shot directly."

When Xue Huhu proposed to shoot Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie, many generals of the Central Army gasped. This Xue Huhu is quite courageous.

He even said that he wanted to shoot Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie. These two were Principal Chang's confidants and were also giants in the Central Army.

At the meeting, Minister He, Xu Yongchang and others were very surprised when they heard Xue Laohu's proposal, and Minister He also reported the matter.

The last few military and political officials discussed it and concluded that someone did need to take responsibility for the failure of the Lanfeng Battle.

Everyone chose and chose, and found a scapegoat——Long Muhan.

Compared with Huang Jie and Gui Yongqing, Long Muhan's qualifications are relatively junior. He is the first phase of Huangpu. When fighting in the Pingjin area, he served under Tang Enbo's command and fought well in the bloody battle at Nankou.

Later, because of the bloody battle at Nankou, he was transferred from Tang Enbo's army, went south to Songhu, and led the army in a bloody battle in Shanghai. This person is also a direct descendant of Chang Kaishen's direct descendant.

Long Muhan was shot, and Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie were dismissed for investigation. Gui Yongqing withdrew from the front line of the War of Resistance, went to the rear to train the army, and then went abroad to serve as a military attache in Europe.

And Huang Jie also realized his shame in the later stage and became brave. He became the commander-in-chief of the No.11 Army Group, led the troops to fight abroad, and fought across northern Myanmar. The shame of sealing the battle.

After solving the problems of the Lanfeng Battle, everyone began to focus on discussing the subordinates for the next battle. However, Li Delin of the Fifth Theater sent a message to the Jinling Headquarters.

From the telegram, the big guys learned that Li Delin was seriously ill and now needed to go to Hankou for treatment. Li Delin had already planned to temporarily hand over the military affairs of the fifth war zone to Bai Zhuge as an agent.

In view of Li Delin, the commander of the fifth war zone, who was coming to Hankou, everyone felt that the Guangxi troops could not be absent from the next meeting, and decided to wait for Li Delin to arrive in Hankou to hold the highest military meeting.

Let's make a preliminary plan for the battle now, and discuss further after the generals of the Guangxi family come to Hankou.

After receiving the telegram, Li De, in the Fifth War Zone, saw that the military and political officials in Hankou not only invited him to go, but also asked Sun Zhen, the commander of the 22nd Army, to go to Hankou as well.

Li Delin read the telegram to Bai Zhuge. Lao Bai acted as acting commander and sent the telegram to Sun Zhen of the Sichuan Army. He also forwarded the telegram to the Second Route Army Headquarters of the Sichuan Army.

After receiving the telegram in Sichuan Province, Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua sent a telegram back to Sun Zhen, asking Sun Zhen to go to Hankou to attend a military meeting on behalf of the Sichuan Army.

In Anhui Province, Sun Zhen discussed with Yu Hua after receiving the telegram, and the two went to Hankou to attend the military meeting together.

The next night!
Anhui Province sent several special trains to Hankou. After the special train arrived in Hankou, the Jinling High Command also sent special personnel to meet it.

The generals who came to attend the meeting also stayed in the residences arranged by the Jinling Command in Hankou.

After everyone gathered, a supreme military meeting was held in Hankou.

Lao Maozi's military adviser also attended the meeting.

This meeting was mainly to discuss the issue of the next battle in Wuhan, because the Japanese army opened up the Jinpu line, and the areas of the Central China Front Army and the Pingjin Front Army were connected together.

The Japanese army will definitely attack Wuhan next and further attack the Republic of China army.

At the meeting, the first person to speak was Xu Yongchang, Minister of the Military Order Department.

"Everyone, on the issue of Wuhan, I think it is necessary to pay attention to the echelon configuration of in-depth firepower and strengthen the defense of the two wings of the troops."

Xu Yongchang just spoke as an objection to Cherepanov, Mao Xiongguo's military adviser who attended China's highest military meeting for the first time.

Cherepanov participated in the Supreme Military Conference, and the Chinese side provided an interpreter for him, and Xu Yongchang's words were also translated by the interpreter.

"Xu!" Cherepanov looked at Xu Yongchang, "After I came to China, I watched the records of the previous battles. I just discovered that in several battles such as the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese troops adopted The critical battles were basically based on echelon configuration of firepower to stop the Japanese army."

"In essence, it is still a layer of defense to prevent the advance of the Japanese army. This is very passive. The Japanese army's attack on Wuhan is nothing more than spending a little more time to win the position."

"On the contrary, the Taierzhuang Battle in the Xuzhou Battle, coupled with the proactive attack of the Sichuan Army in the Seventh Theater in the Songhu area, took preemptive measures to attack the Japanese army and disrupt the Japanese army's steps. This method is very good."

At the meeting, Mao Xiongguo's military adviser took the initiative to praise the Sichuan army's plan, which made many generals also turn their attention to Sun Zhen.

Cherepanov saw himself speaking, and after the interpreter translated, many people looked at a general in gray clothes with two stars on his collar, and he asked about his identity.

The translator quickly said that this person was Sun Zhen, commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army.

"Sun!" Cherepanov looked at Sun Zhen, "What do you think about the battle in Wuhan?!"

After a moment, Sun Zhen turned his head and glanced at Yu Hua, who was in the adjutant position. This kid was really amazing.

Before participating in the meeting, Yu Hua analyzed the situation of the upcoming battle in Wuhan for Sun Zhen, so that Sun Zhen could be prepared.

Sun Zhen cleared his throat, "Everyone, regarding the battle in Wuhan, what I want to talk about is the strategy of defending Wuhan and not fighting Wuhan."

"Wuhan is not a place for long-term battles. The Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Jinling, and the Battle of Xuzhou, although we have achieved several great victories in these battles."

"However, in terms of military strength, our army is still unable to go head-to-head with the Japanese army. The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is much stronger than our army. The main way to defend Wuhan and not fight Wuhan is to fight outside."

"The Battle of Xuzhou was an internal battle commanded by Chief Li Delin, while Wuhan was an external battle. When we guard Wuhan, no matter how we change, we must maintain a mobile force in the external battle and deal with the Japanese army in order to gain an advantage."

Sun Zhen's remarks made Cherepanov agree very much. Fighting on the outside is also one of his thoughts, "Sun... I think about the same thing as you."

"Fight on outside lines, maintain mobile forces, attack the rear or flanks of the Japanese army, disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, and cut off their transportation lines. This can reduce the pressure on our army's defense."

It was said that many generals at the scene also agreed with Sun Zhen's proposal when they saw Mao Xiongguo's military adviser, and everyone looked at the Sichuan army with admiration. It is indeed a team that has won several battles against the Japanese army.

At the meeting, after Sun Zhen finished speaking, Chen Cixiu also put forward his own ideas. First of all, Wuhan is located in the Dabie Mountains and Mufu Mountains. The terrain here is different from the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Xuzhou. There are many mountains, which can effectively avoid Japanese heavy artillery and tank superiority.

As for the Japanese air force, the mountainous area near Poyang Lake is cloudy and foggy, which is not conducive to Japanese aircraft bombing.

Generally speaking, the terrain of Wuhan is conducive to the combat of the Chinese army, which allows the Japanese army's land and air firepower to be suppressed to a certain extent.

Everyone at the meeting also put forward their own opinions. In the end, the plan for the battle in Wuhan was reported to the old man.
