Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

According to Jiang Haoran's plan, at three o'clock tonight, the New Second Division and the New Sixth Division should launch an attack on Yangxin. Tiger tanks and helicopters were dispatched. Jiang Haoran did not intend to give the Japanese army any chance to resist at all. The Japanese army that directly annihilated Yangxin advanced to Wuhan overnight. Only by letting the Japanese army rush to the rear as soon as possible to stabilize, can the Japanese army be forced to abandon Wuhan.

But at this time, it was almost an hour, and there was no news from Yangxin.It stands to reason that although the troops attacking the city ahead have only one fast mobile brigade, they are equipped with the most advanced weapons of the No. 40 Army. Under the attack formation, it is simply not enough to see.

Finally, a staff officer hurried in to report that the vanguard of the New Second Division had fully occupied Yangxin, but Yangxin was already an empty city, and there was not a single devil.

"What, not a single devil?" Jiang Haoran jumped up from his seat and exclaimed.

All the people in the room immediately glanced at each other, their faces full of surprise.

After a long time, Zhang Dabiao waved his fist and cursed bitterly: "Damn it, such a big battle was carefully arranged. I thought that the little devil's independence could be mixed into the No. 18 brigade and eaten up." , who would have let him run away like a dog, alas!"

Liu He also said: "Boss, after the Japanese army found out that we were planning to attack Yangxin, they knew they could not resist, so they simply withdrew their troops. I mean, they are ready to abandon Wuhan."

Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, then shook his head decisively and said: "Impossible, Ananwei is not so easy to admit defeat, this battle has not yet started, Ananwei has no idea how powerful I am in Yangxin, how can I not fight And retreat? This is not like the style of the Japanese army. Something else must have happened? Chief of Staff, immediately send electricity to the Changsha General Headquarters and ask them if the situation there has changed. The general sent a message to see if the United States has adopted my suggestion and is preparing to surprise Singapore."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away!" Liu He strode towards the telecommunications room as he spoke.

As soon as Liu He left the house, a staff officer hurried in. The Changsha General Command had already sent a telegram to inform the Japanese troops on the southwest frontline that there were signs of retreating. At the same time, they also informed that the troops from the First Theater in Shaanxi would cross the Yellow River tonight. The forward troops will arrive in Xinyang tomorrow, and three days later, all the large troops will arrive at the front line of Xinyang.

Immediately afterwards, Liu He also brought back news from the telecommunications room, but it was basically of no value. Stilwell didn't know whether the Mi Army had adopted Jiang Haoran's plan.

But at this point, Jiang Haoran was basically sure that the Japanese army was about to abandon Wuhan and flee.The fundamental reason that prompted the Japanese army to make this decision was that the United States had already entered the campaign of surprise attack on Singapore. As for Stilwell's ignorance, it was completely considered by the United States from the perspective of security. good.

It is actually not difficult to be sure of this result. You only need to wait until dawn, and the reconnaissance plane will fly around the East China Sea and it will be clear at a glance, but Jiang Haoran can't wait any longer. It was a good show of beating a dog in the water, but at this moment, Ye Kai, the director of the intelligence department, hurried in and explained in detail about Yu Kinoshita's overnight visit to Zhuang Dashuan.

Jiang Haoran immediately frowned, when did the little devil show such kindness, he was ready to retreat, according to the usual practice, he would burn, kill and loot everywhere, ransacked Wuhan, pressed the barrel of a gun, no labor could be recruited , What kind of food can't be grabbed, is it necessary to spend money, time, and lowly to ask Zhuang Dashuan?

On the contrary, Ye Kai is a little knowledgeable. He thinks that the little devils should be considered in terms of military strength. There are not many little devils in the city, and they are busy with retreating and moving all kinds of supplies. What's more, the things in the common people's homes are hidden and covered, and it may take more time to dig three feet to grab them. With Zhuang Dashuan doing this matter, it will be able to get twice the result with half the effort for the Japanese army.

This theory is also tenable, but Jiang Haoran has a deeper consideration. Isamu Kinoshita's style is a bit like Okamura Neiji's style, and he has pushed the theory of the policy of softness and the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia to the extreme. The fundamental reason for doing this is probably that they have some illusions about Wuhan. The Japanese army has been operating in Wuhan for nearly two years and has basically restored the prosperity of Wuhan. Could they be willing to hand over a complete Wuhan to the Nationalist government?Obviously, they couldn't be so kind.Do not burn, do not kill, maintain the original prosperity of Wuhan, and maintain the image of the Japanese army in the eyes of ordinary people in Wuhan?All this shows that the Japanese army is still planning to return to Wuhan.

The fundamental reason that made Jiang Haoran affirm the existence of this factor was that one thousand tons of rice.Wuhan is stationed in a Japanese army. Such a large unit, no matter what, there must be 20 days of reserve rations. In addition, the Japanese army urgently transported a batch from the Yangtze River before the war. Their rations within ten days There is no problem at all, but now they are preparing to retreat, why are they trying so hard to collect so much rice?

One thousand tons is not a small amount. A little saving is enough to feed 30 troops for ten days. If the Japanese army retreats with all their heart, as long as they cross the Yangtze River, they can jump out of the battlefield in Wuhan within three days. Why are they carrying so much food? ?

"Map of the North Bank of the Yangtze River!" Jiang Haoran howled, and a staff officer quickly took out a map and spread it on Jiang Haoran's desk.

Jiang Haoran stared at the map for a few seconds, then picked up a pencil and drew a large circle between the north bank of the Yangtze River in Wuhan, Jingzhou, Suizhou, Xinyang, and Lu'an, and said in a deep voice: "The Japanese army is going to concentrate all their troops to die with us in this area. consumption."

"Ah, this is impossible, hundreds of thousands of troops are concentrated in this square inch, waiting for our planes to bombard us indiscriminately?" Liu He exclaimed.

"Unless the Japanese army has strong support, otherwise the Japanese army will be tantamount to seeking their own death!" Zhang Dabiao said.

"Yes, brother Siyuan is right. The reason why the Japanese army did this must be that they had strong reinforcements, and the reinforcements are probably on the way. If my guess is correct, they are going to enter from Lu'an. The No.11 Army relies on the natural danger of the Yangtze River Stand firm and block our ninth theater troops and our No.40 Army troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River. After the reinforcements arrive, the No.11 Army will cooperate with the reinforcements entering Lu'an, the No.30 Fifth Division and the 36th Division in the direction of Xuchang The No.11 Army counterattacked the south bank of Wuhan, and the rest of the troops advanced along the north bank of the Yangtze River towards Yueyang and Changde, and even more The troops from Guangzhou stormed Shaoguan, entered Hunan from Chenzhou, and formed a larger encirclement to threaten Changsha."
