Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 431

When Sun Zhen saw Chief Chen's complaining look, he sighed and looked at Chen Cheng: "Mr. Chen, let me tell you, the Sichuan Army will encircle and annihilate the Japanese Sixth Division and Botian Detachment tonight."

"I don't know about this...if I hadn't gone to the theater headquarters, I wouldn't have known about it either."

As he said that, Sun Zhen glanced at the big guy: "So, do you believe it?!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw Sun Zhen's appearance. The commander of the Sichuan Army Group Army didn't even know what the people below were doing?Is this really impossible?

Zhang Fakui joked: "Old Sun, if you say you don't know, you are not trying to trick people. I know that your Sichuan Army likes to set up the Dragon Gate Formation the most."

Sun Zhen spread his hands and shrugged: "I really didn't lie to you. During the Battle of Niangziguan, my 22nd Army had just left Sichuan. The soldiers were full of fighting spirit."

"When you meet little Japanese soldiers on the front line, one on the left asks for instructions and the other on the right asks for instructions. Fighting by asking for instructions, this day lily is cold. After all, the situation on this battlefield changes rapidly, and fighter opportunities are fleeting."

"The people below asked for instructions too much, which annoyed me to death, so I told the people below that if the little devil doesn't have the strength of an army, don't fucking bother me."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed when they saw Sun Zhen saying this!
The Japanese army has the strength of one army. This damn kid must be launching a large-scale offensive. After all, once the Japanese army shows up with an army number, it must be more than [-] kid. This is not just the Sichuan army that wants to alarm.

Even the Jinling Headquarters must be particularly careful and urgently investigate why the Japanese army conducted such a military action! !
Everyone also heard it. Sun Zhen was completely letting go and letting the people below do it. After all, when the Japanese army took action on the frontal battlefield, it was usually based on regiments, brigades, and divisions.

At present, the Sichuan Army has three divisions and an independent brigade, encircling and annihilating a Japanese division and detachment. From Sun Zhen's words, this really has not reached the level of the Japanese army, and the Sichuan Army naturally did not report it to the 22nd Army Headquarters.

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at Sun Zhen: "Old Sun, why don't you just stop talking about the Japanese army at the military level? Just tell me that there is no Japanese army in a group army. Stop bothering me with these nonsense."

Everyone in the headquarters laughed again. The little devils didn't have the organization of a group army at all.In the history of World War II, only the army organization of the Japs was different from that of other countries. It was so unique.

In the Ninth War Zone, the Sichuan Army had just arrived in Wuhan and made such a big move, which really surprised many people.

There are three divisions and one independent brigade, and now they dare to call the Japanese army a division. This is really bold.

Tonight, the Sichuan army attacked the Japanese army at night. This was a major battle. The two sides mobilized more than 10 troops. For such a large-scale battle, Chen Cheng, as the commander of the Ninth War Zone, immediately drafted a message and sent it to the Jinling Headquarters. .

Before sending the message, Chen Cheng also asked Sun Zhen whether he was really sure that the Sichuan Army, with three divisions and one independent brigade, was competing with one Japanese division, could kill the Sixth Division.

Sun Zhen said it was trivial. After the Sichuan Army came out of Sichuan, it never fought an uncertain battle. From Niangzi Pass to Taihu Lake and then to the Battle of Xuzhou, the Sichuan Army had repeatedly annihilated the effective Japanese troops and killed 10,000+ Japanese troops.

Although the Wang Puppet Regime and the Nationalist Government previously attempted to use the Sichuan Army's number of enemy annihilations as false to provoke conflicts between the Sichuan Army and the people, the Sichuan Army fought in Teng County, annihilated the Chongteng Detachment, captured a large number of Japanese troops, and seized a large number of weapons.

This time, not only reporters from the Republic of China, but also reporters from Europa, took a lot of precious film, television and photo materials, which fully demonstrated that the Sichuan Army never made fun of its own record! !
After the Jinling Headquarters in Hankou received the message from Chen Cheng, the military and political officials of the Military Commission also began to send messages to the Sichuan Army's Second Route Army Headquarters.

The implication is that the Sichuan Army belongs to the army under the leadership of the National Government. They are all National Revolutionary Army. No matter which battle it is, it should be conducted under the command of the Jinling Headquarters. Tonight, the Sichuan Army encircled and annihilated the Sixth Division. This matter is the Military Commission I'm going to step in.

When the Sichuan Army is asked to declare combat deployment to the outside world, it is particularly emphasized that it is carried out under the leadership of the Military Commission, highlighting the role of the Jinling Command in coordinating the overall situation.

Neither Pan Wenhua nor Deng Xihou cared about these false claims and agreed to the Military Commission's request. To be honest, both of them listened to Yu Hua's words. The most important thing at the moment was to annihilate a large number of Japanese troops and strengthen themselves.

Only when you are strong enough will you have a greater say. Fighting for fame is not as important as seizing the little devil's supplies.

When the Jinling Command in Hankou learned that the Sichuan Army had agreed, everyone was very happy, and then gave Sun Zhen an order to quickly report on the recent results of the 22nd Army.

Yu Hua also reported to Sun Zhen on the previous battles, how many Japanese troops were annihilated!
The 22nd Army destroyed three and a half Japanese brigades, and together with Yang Sen's 27th Army, killed a Japanese regiment in Anqing City. The Sixth Division and Botian Detachment now lost almost two regiments.

The Jinling Command in Hankou looked at the map and found that the location of Anqing City and the Sixth Division could really lead to an ambush.

Minister He received the latest instructions and issued an order to Sun Zhen and Yang Sen, that is, the Sichuan Army troops encircled and annihilated the Sixth Division and the Botian Detachment. In this battle, the Nationalist Government was prepared to expand the results and mobilize troops to join it.

The Central Army participated in the battle and also asked the Sichuan Army to make contact and jointly encircle and annihilate the Japanese Sixth Division and Botian Detachment.

When Sun Zhen and Yang Sen received this order, they were both stunned. Previously, the Central Army did not come to help with the front-line defense of Anqing City, but now they learned that the Sichuan Army was confident of encircling and annihilating the Sixth Division.

A group of you started to focus on this piece of fat, trying to snatch the meat from the Sichuan army. What the hell is this? !

When something goes wrong, you remain motionless. Now that you can eat meat, you are more damn positive than anyone else.

After Sun Zhen talked with Yang Sen on the phone, he forwarded the message to Yu Hua and asked Yu Hua to think of a way to stop letting people from the Central Army pick peaches.

Inside the cave!

Yu Hua, Guo Xunqi, Rao Guohua, Liu Yuqing, Liu Changqing, and Zhang Yungang are all continuing to discuss the precautions for tonight's night attack.

The signal corpsmen of the Independent Brigade ran in: "Report! Sir, adjutant Yu, Commander Sun Zhen has an urgent message."

After saying that, the signal soldier came to Yu Hua and handed the message in his hand to Yu Hua.

After Yu Hua read the telegram, he knew it was a bad idea and looked at Zhang Yungang coldly: Commander Zhang, next time you want to seek benefits for your group army, please tell me. "

"You told Xu Yuanquan about our Sichuan Army's plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Sixth Division. This matter has now been known to the Jinling Command. The higher-ups want the Central Army to come in too. This is not a good sign."

Zhang Yungang's eyes widened. When he saw Adjutant Yu's cold gaze, he knew that he must have violated a taboo. However, he still said bravely: "Adjutant Yu, I was wrong in this matter. It's my fault."

"I think it's a good thing that the central army is allowed to participate. In this way, our troops will be more sufficient, and it will be easier to fight."

Liu Changqing saw Zhang Yungang saying this from the side, and he immediately stood up: "Captain Zhang, I'm afraid you have made a mistake. Now the Jinling Command wants to make peace, which is a bit difficult to handle." "The previous battles. , you have personally participated in it. The intelligence system of our Jinling Headquarters is as leaky as a sieve. Take the Battle of Songhu as an example. Principal Chang’s wife went to the front line to visit the soldiers in a car and was bombarded indiscriminately by the Japanese army. "

"Principal Chang himself went to the front line of the Songhu Battle to convene the highest military meeting, and the car was also shot at by the Japanese army."

"From this, it can be seen that our Jinling Headquarters has been almost infiltrated by the Japanese army. Although the above has cleaned up the interior not long ago, it is inevitable that it has not been cleaned up. There are still some traitors sold to the Japanese army. intelligence."

Hear this!Zhang Yungang was silent. He had also heard about the situations Liu Changqing mentioned at the time. In order to save the 26th Group Army this time, he did not think about it carefully.

"I'm sorry!" Zhang Yungang said very apologetically: "This time to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Sixth Division, Adjutant Yu, don't begrudge my troops. We can destroy the entire regiment. Since I made a mistake, I am willing to make up for it."

Yu Hua waved his hand: "The superiors will know if they know it. Don't say that about the night attack tonight. I'm just giving you a warning. I hope you can talk to me next time."

"Our Sichuan Army can keep secrets internally, so every time we fight, I don't want to take the initiative to report the battle plan. The high-level intelligence system leaks like a sieve, so I have to guard against it."

Regarding tonight's night attack, Yu Hua felt that the Jinling High Command now knew that the problem was not too big. Even if someone at the top had betrayed the information to the Japanese army, it would take some time for the little devils to coordinate.

By the time the Japs coordinate, the Sichuan army will have finished their work long ago.

However, Yu Hua also emphasized to each division that the Japanese Sixth Division was likely to be on guard. Today's night attack would be more difficult, and this battle might be difficult to fight.

The Sixth Division at the airport is so big. Once the entire division is on heightened alert, this battle will be difficult to fight. The casualties of the attacking troops may be doubled.

Just when Yu Hua was preparing to change the campaign plan, the intelligence staff of the independent brigade walked into the conference room.

"Report to the adjutant, urgent call from the Sichuan Army Revitalization Office in Songhu District."

Taking the cable from the intelligence staff, Yu Hua looked at it and his eyes suddenly wrinkled.

Liu Changqing saw the change in Yu Hua's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"On the Anqing front line, the Japanese army secretly mobilized its troops. There is an independent mixed brigade with a total strength of about 2 people. It can arrive at Anqing City at three or four in the middle of the night."

"This is an urgent message just sent by our Sichuan Army's Rejuvenation Office in the Songhu area. This independent mixed brigade deceived our investigators, but for the New Fourth Army in the guerrilla zone who discovered the differences in the Japanese military ranks."

"We were really kept in the dark by the little devils about this matter. Maybe we will suffer big losses in the night attack tonight."

"Brother Yu, do you think we should attack the Japanese Sixth Division tonight?" Guo Xunqi asked.

The Japs suddenly appeared as an independent mixed brigade. With so many troops, the pressure was too great, and the Sichuan Army was afraid that it would not be able to withstand it.

"Fight!" Yu Hua's eyes shone brightly: "We must fight tonight. We will give the little devil a trick."

"Don't the Jinling Command want to dispatch the Central Army to join the battle? Let's let the Central Army come in and reduce the pressure."

Immediately, Yu Hua sent a message to Sun Zhen and Yang Sen, saying that he could accept the Central Army in. At the same time, he also used code words to tell them that he had his own arrangements for the Central Army and there was no need to worry too much.

Yu Hua also sent a reply to Sun Zhen and Yang Sen: "The Sichuan Army belongs to the National Revolutionary Army. This army is under the leadership of the National Government. Now the Japanese army is sending troops south, and the Sichuan Army troops have been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army for many days."

"Now the troops are reduced, their combat effectiveness is reduced, the two armies are confronting each other, and the enemy has exposed its flaws. The Sichuan army must also seize the opportunity and hit it hard. This is like a jujube tree. If there are jujubes but no jujubes, hit three poles to see the effect. Tonight it will be A good opportunity.”

"Since the generals at the headquarters think this is a fighter opportunity and want to arrange troops to participate in the battle, the Sichuan Army is always welcome. At the same time, the Sichuan Army, which has been fighting for many days, is now short of soldiers, food, grass and ammunition."

"Please also ask the Ninth War Zone and Jinling Headquarters to provide soldiers, food, grass and other supplies immediately!"

He asked the two of them to send one copy to each of the Ninth War Zone and Jinling Headquarters according to his call back. Since someone from the top management wanted to pick peaches, the Sichuan Army would first ask for some benefits from the other party.

Moreover, for the Central Army participating in the battle, Yu Hua decided to give this army a good experience so that they can perform their due effects in this battle.

The Jinling Headquarters in Hankou received a call back from the 22nd Army and the 27th Army. After several senior officials took a look, they were very happy to see that the Sichuan Army relented.

Among the local armies, any unit that joined forces with the Sichuan Army to fight against the Japs achieved impressive results, such as the No. 18 Group Army in the Battle of Niangziguan and Yan Laoxi's Shanxi-Sui Army.

The Guangxi Army in the Battle of Taihu and the Third Army in the Battle of Xuzhou also achieved good results, and at the same time shared a large amount of ordnance and supplies from the Sichuan Army.

Now it is finally the turn of the Central Army and the Sichuan Army to jointly fight. The results of this battle will definitely be good. The Central Army will definitely gain a lot of benefits this time.

For this reason, many high-level officials waved their approval of the Sichuan Army's telegram requesting soldiers, grain, grass and ordnance, and arranged for Song Wuming, the Railway Transport Administration Bureau in Hankou, to expedite the delivery of supplies to the Sichuan Army.

After defeating the Sichuan Army, several senior officials are now discussing the appropriate number of troops to use in this night attack on the Japanese Sixth Division.

After much discussion, everyone finally decided to use four divisions to participate in the battle. These four divisions were all newly reorganized units of the Central Army. The entire division had a full strength of 4000 people, and four divisions amounted to more than 5 people.

The total strength is almost 26 to [-]. With such a large number of troops, once they fight well, they can completely restore the lost defense line of the [-]th Group Army in front.

Several Central Army units closest to Anqing have also received orders from the Jinling Headquarters in Hankou to mobilize some troops from their own armies and move them into the defense area of ​​the 27th Sichuan Army. There will be major operations tonight.

Several officers of the Central Army were confused for a while when they received this order. However, it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders, and everyone still carried them out honestly.
