Anti-Japanese Special Forces Through Time and Space

Chapter 65 Special Strategy: Battle of Changsha

Arriving at the Supreme Command, Chiang Kai-shek was already waiting for Zhang Lieyang in his office. Under the guidance of the secretary, Zhang Lieyang came directly to Chiang Kai-shek's office.

Walking into the office, Zhang Lieyang saluted Chiang Kai-shek and shouted, "Hi, Principal!"

Seeing Zhang Lieyang, Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "Good! Good! I asked you to come today to hear some of your views on the Battle of Changsha!" As he spoke, Chiang Kai-shek pulled Zhang Lieyang beside him and sat down.

Zhang Lieyang thought for a while and asked, "Principal, do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course! Today you can speak freely!" Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile.

"Principal, the Japanese army just lost to the Soviet Union in the Battle of Nuomenhan, and the Japanese army fought with our troops in Zhongtiao Mountain for two and a half months. During these two and a half months, our troops wiped out more than [-] Japanese soldiers! Although We have won the Japanese army in local battles, but we have always won fewer victories and lost more in the main battles. Therefore, I think we should use this opportunity to fight the Japanese army in Changsha to restore the morale of our soldiers! But It is best for the principal to be directly commanded by the frontline generals in this battle, because the battle situation is changing rapidly, if we have to consult the Supreme Command for every step, then I will be like the other few battles!" Zhang Lieyang said seriously.

Hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and said: "Then this time, you and Xue Yue will be in command together! I will fully delegate power to you! But do you dare to issue a military order?!"

"Principal, the students are willing to issue a military order! But I don't know if General Xue Yue is willing!" Just as Zhang Lieyang was about to continue talking, he heard a knock on the door. After a while, Xue Yue came in to salute Chiang Kai-shek and said: " Hello, committee member!"

"Come on! Boling come and sit down!" Jiang Jieshi said to Zhang Lieyang: "Lieyang is Xue Yue, you should get closer to him in the future!" Hearing Jiang Jieshi's introduction, Zhang Lieyang stood up and saluted and said: " Hello, General Xue Yue! The name of General is like thunder to my ears!"

Xue Yue looked at Zhang Lieyang with a smile and said: "Your troops are brave and good at fighting, and the Japanese army called your troops demons! I really want to see how your troops wiped out the Japanese army!"

"Bo Ling, I entrust the command of the Changsha battle to you two. Lie Yang has issued a military order, and now it's up to you!" Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile.

"The commissioner trusts me so much, how dare I, Xue Yue, dare not issue this military order!" Xue Yue said seriously.

"Good! You are worthy of being the elite of our party-state! The pillars of the party-state!" As he spoke, Chiang Kai-shek asked his attendants to bring in three glasses of wine and said, "Today, I, Jiang, made an exception, and I wish you success here!"

Hearing Chiang Kai-shek's words, Xue Yue and Zhang Lieyang raised their glasses and said in unison: "Thank you, commissioner! (Principal!)" After speaking, the three clinked their glasses and drank them all.

After the three of them put down their wine glasses, when Chiang Kai-shek was about to say something, the secretary knocked on the door and came in and said, "Commissioner, General Stilwell is here! He has something urgent to see you!"

After thinking about it, Chiang Kai-shek said, "Let him in!"

Soon Stilwell walked into Chiang Kai-shek's office and said, "Chairman Chiang, hello! Today I heard that General Zhang Lieyang is here with you, so I came here specially to ask him to teach us American officers a lesson! Is it possible? !"

Hearing Stilwell's words, Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhang Lieyang, Zhang Lieyang thought for a while and said: "There is no problem in class, but I have two conditions!"

"I can agree to any condition, as long as it is within the scope of my authority!" Stilwell said with a smile.

"It's actually very simple. I want students from our military academy to study at your West Point Military Academy in the United States! At the same time, I want you to provide my department with a batch of tanks, about [-]!" Zhang Lieyang smiled cunningly and continued: "These two requirements are not too much, right?!"

After thinking for a while, Stilwell said, "The first request is absolutely fine! But the second question, I want to apply to Congress!"

"Okay! Then when you settle the issue of foreign students, I will give you a lecture right away!" Zhang Lieyang looked at Chiang Kai-shek and said, "Please forgive the students for my recklessness!" Hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile: "You did this for the future of the party and the country, how could I blame you?!"

Then Chiang Kai-shek said to Stilwell: "I will let General He Yingqin talk to you about the overseas students!" Hearing what Chiang Kai-shek said, Stilwell said with a smile: "Then I will go first!" Stilwell left after saying that up.

After seeing Stilwell leave, Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said to Zhang Lieyang: "Lieyang, you are my student! I asked Stilwell to send someone to study in the United States, but he didn't agree. I didn't expect As soon as you brought it up today, he agreed without hesitation!"

Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's happy face, Zhang Lieyang said with a smile: "Principal, it's not the students who graduated from our Central Military Academy, but some black apples among them who have tarnished the reputation of our Central Military Academy! In this Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, Stilwell He saw the command of my subordinates with his own eyes, so this time I made this request and he will agree without hesitation!"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded thoughtfully and said to Xue Yue and Zhang Lieyang: "Go down and make a plan, and just give it to me to have a look! After the battle begins, you don't have to ask the Supreme Command for everything, and wait for the battle to be completed." After the end, report the detailed battle process to the Supreme Command!"

"Obey!" Zhang Lieyang and Xue Yue left after saying that.

Walking out of the Supreme Command, Zhang Lieyang looked at Xue Yue with a smile and said, "General Xue Yue, how about you come to my Zhongtiaoshan base?"

After thinking for a while, Xue Yue smiled and said, "Okay! Last time I didn't go to your place because of something, so I just took this opportunity to go and have a look!" Xue Yue got into Zhang Lieyang's car.The car was speeding all the way, and soon Zhang Lieyang and the others arrived at Chongqing Airport!After arriving at the airport, Zhang Xianghu brought Zhang Lieyang and Xue Yue to the side of the plane. Xue Yue saw Zhang Xianghu open the plane door, so he asked curiously: "Could it be that Lieyang is going to Zhongtiao Mountain by plane?"

"Yes! Every time I go to Chongqing to report on my work, I fly the plane myself!" Zhang Lieyang saw Xue Yue's doubts, and said with a smile: "General Xue Yue, my department has more than 3000 fighter planes! The number of pilots on the list exceeds 13 people!" Hearing the number reported by Zhang Lieyang, Xue Yue said in disbelief: "We all know that your new No.[-] Army is the trump card of the commissioned trump cards, but it's impossible to have so many planes? !"

Zhang Lieyang smiled, pulled Xue Yue onto the plane and said: "General Xue, more than 80.00% of the fighter jets you see at Chongqing Airport are captured and handed over by our troops from the Japanese army!" He told Xue Yue about the battles of the Japanese fighter planes one by one. After listening to Zhang Lieyang’s introduction, Xue Yue said with a smile: “I never thought, you really have the foresight! Otherwise, after the First World War in Nanjing, our country’s air force will exist in name only! "

While the two were chatting and laughing, the plane slowly landed at the secret airport in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Xue Yue followed Zhang Lieyang out of the cabin and saw the fighter planes parked at the airport. He sighed and said, "For this battle, I will leave all the air control to you!"

"You're welcome! Elder brother thinks so much of me, and the two of us are grasshoppers tied together now! We should watch over and help each other and work together!" Zhang Lieyang told Zhang Xianghu to drive over.

On the way back to the headquarters, Xue Yue saw soldiers training everywhere, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Your department really deserves to be the elite among the aces of the national army!"

"Brother, you are overrated!" Zhang Lieyang said with a smile.

When he came to the headquarters, Zhang Lieyang took Xue Yue to the war room and said, "Brother, do you see if this sand table is similar to the terrain in your place?" Hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Xue Yue looked at it and exclaimed: "It's completely Consistent!" Xue Yue looked at Zhang Lieyang and asked with a smile: "My dear brother, where did you get this thing?!"

"I asked people from my family's shops scattered all over the country to help me report the local topography and landforms in detail, and then I made the two-dimensional ones into three-dimensional ones according to what they said!" Zhang Lieyang said with a smile.

After a while, Li Mutian and Liu Fengming walked in. Seeing them coming in, Zhang Lieyang smiled and said to Xue Yue: "Brother, write an order, and I will have your chief of staff brought here. What do you think of the battle plan drawn up?"

"Okay!" Xue Yue walked to the table next to him, picked up a pen, wrote quickly on the paper, took out his own seal, stamped it, and handed it to Zhang Lieyang.Zhang Lieyang took the order, and immediately handed it to Zhang Xianghu, saying, "You fly that passenger plane, go to Changsha and pick me up!"

Zhang Xianghu took the warrant and said, "Obey!" After speaking, Zhang Xianghu put the warrant in his coat pocket, turned around and left.After Zhang Xianghu left, Zhang Lieyang picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and connected the airport order: "Let fifty Zero fighters escort the passenger plane!"

After Zhang Lieyang made the arrangements and walked to the sand table, Xue Yue asked curiously: "My dear brother, will your entire army be dispatched for this battle in Changsha?!"

"No! Brother, participating in the Battle of Changsha this time will be the artillery battalion of six divisions and two regiments of our department, as well as [-] bombers and fighters!" Zhang Lieyang said with a smile.

"My dear brother, how many troops does your group army have?!" Xue Yue looked at Zhang Lieyang suspiciously and asked.

"Our department has two armies, thirteen reinforced divisions, a teaching brigade, a special operations unit, and [-] fighter planes!" Zhang Lieyang reported with a smile.Hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Xue Yue shouted in disbelief: "What? Why are there so many people?"

"In addition to the important task of defending Chongqing, our department can join the battlefield of any theater to participate in the battle at any time without the order of the Supreme Command! Moreover, our department does not belong to the battle order of any theater!" Zhang Lieyang pointed with his baton. Holding the sand table, he said: "The Changsha area is mostly mountain roads and dense forests! Therefore, it is not suitable for the mobile operations of our quick-reaction division, so the quick-reaction division will not participate in this battle. Therefore, I made the following arrangements for my subordinates: 'The special operations forces will On September 187, they raided the headquarters of the Japanese army in Xianning and wiped out all the defenders in Xianning! The 99th Division deployed in Fengxin; the 557th Division deployed in Tongcheng; the 717th Division deployed in Xinqiang Town; the 737th Division deployed The 747th Division is deployed in Yingtian; the [-]th Division is the reserve force of the whole army! The two regiments of the Independent Artillery Brigade are deployed in Fengxin and Yingtian respectively!" Zhang Lieyang looked at Xue Yue's After reacting, he continued: "Brother, my troops will become the first line of defense in the Changsha battle! If possible, I will wipe out the Japanese army on the first line of defense!"

"My dear brother, have you ever considered what would happen if the Japanese army bypassed your defense?" Xue Yue asked after thinking for a while.

"I've thought about it a long time ago! I will send planes to be responsible for high-altitude reconnaissance and high-altitude patrols in the entire theater! In this way, we can keep track of the movements of the Japanese army at any time! If the Japanese army bypasses my line of defense, the planes will carry out air-to-ground strikes on the Japanese army. Attack in an all-round way until our second line of defense is established!" Zhang Lieyang said seriously.

At this moment, Zhang Xianghu walked in with people from Xue Yue's staff department.So Xue Yue handed them the piece of paper that recorded Zhang Lieyang's arrangement just now and said, "Look at it, and then make a plan for our department based on General Zhang Lieyang's defense plan!"

"Obey!" Xue Yue's Chief of Staff Liu Fengxing took the paper from Xue Yue's hand and said seriously.

After about two hours, Liu Feng walked to the front of the sand table and said: "We arranged according to the plan of General Zhang Lieyang, and after the people of our staff discussed together, we decided that the 21 armies and 3 ### columns of our ninth war zone , A total of 52 divisions will be deployed along the Miluo River to support the deployment of General Zhang Lieyang! The artillery of our ninth theater will be deployed in Yuelu Mountain."

"Okay! Just follow this plan, communicate with General Zhang Lieyang's plan, call the Supreme Command, and transfer the seat!" Xue Yue said seriously.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Lieyang said to Xue Yue: "Brother, when you leave this time, take away the [-] planes that participated in the battle! Our department will set off afterwards! I can reach the scheduled defense line in half a month at most!"

"Brother, brother, I will entrust you with the important task of defending Changsha!" After speaking, Xue Yue and his staff left accompanied by Li Mutian and Liu Fengming.

Zhang Lieyang, who stayed alone in the war room, looked at the sand table in a daze.Thinking about it, Zhang Lieyang suddenly thought of his father, and couldn't help but sighed deeply.So he slowly walked out of the war room.

Walking out of the war room, Zhang Lieyang looked at the stars all over the sky and said with emotion: "Since history has pushed me, Zhang Lieyang, to the cusp of this era, I will make the Japanese army tremble with fear when they hear my name! Sooner or later, I will lead the My army swept across the Japanese country! To avenge the compatriots who died during the Japanese invasion of China!"

Li Mutian who just came back at this time heard Zhang Lieyang's words and asked curiously: "How are you going to sweep Japan, Lieyang?"

Zhang Lieyang smiled and said: "You will know when the time comes!" Zhang Lieyang left after speaking.
