Chapter 494: The issue of the transfer of the honorary division
"Dong De, do you seem to be very respectful of Leng Feng?" Bai Jiansheng asked. Although he admitted that Leng Feng's achievements are rarely comparable to those of the generals, it is not enough for his old partner to be so respected. Could it be that these old guys have lived as dogs over the years?
Bai Jiansheng is still quite conceited, which is almost a common problem for those with ability.|
"If Leng Guoguang had been born twenty years ago, I'm afraid there would be no one in China today." Li Delin said very seriously.
"ah!"
Bai Jiansheng was more than just surprised, he was simply shocked. This was said from Li Delin. Who is Li Delin and who has he ever been convinced?
"Jiansheng, if you and I were twenty years younger, can we do this under the battle situation like Nanjing?" Li Delin knew that Bai Jiansheng was a proud person. If he could not convince him, how could he help him persuade Jiang Jiang with all his heart?
"I can't." Bai Jiansheng said a little discouraged. Although he is a leader among the crowd at Leng Feng's age, he is not as dazzling as Leng Feng.
He was already a major general at the age of twenty-five, and he was earned by real military achievements. He had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, although he rose a little quickly, his foundation was not stable.
But in time, as long as you die before early, you will definitely become a hero.
"Dong De, there are many uncertainties in the 'Aprils' Day' plan. This is a very risky action. Are you sure you want to support this cold front?"
"In fact, the 'Aprils' Day' plan has eliminated part of the big adventure. The first part is similar to the Shandong combat plan we formulated, and this is just the second stage of the implementation later." Li Delin explained.
"Is it implemented in stages again?"
"Isn't this impossible? If we follow the initial plan, there is no need for this. We have considered a variety of situations and factors in detail before we decided on this slightly conservative plan." Li Delin said.
"It's still too risky. Can you make sure that the Japanese army won't discover this plan?"
"No, as long as the commander agrees, we are sure to do it." Li Delin said solemnly, "This plan has begun."
"here we go?"
"Yes, the first step in the plan to compete for the First Division of Honor from the Fifth War Zone with the Commander-in-Chief," said Li Delin. "The first step in the plan is to make the Japanese believe that the First Division of Honor will be transferred from the Fifth War Zone, so that they can induce the Japanese army in Central China to advance northward."
Bai Jiansheng nodded. The Japanese army in Central China was afraid of being beaten by the Honorary Division. As soon as the Honorary Division left, they naturally would not miss this opportunity and quickly head north.
"As long as the Japanese army in central China moves, the Japanese army in North China will definitely take action immediately. The credit for occupying Xuzhou is the first thing both Japanese troops want to get."
"Induce the Isogai Division to move south?" Bai Jiansheng understood very well that the Japanese army in North China had been moving south. If the Japanese base camp had not repeatedly stopped it, it would have started fighting now.
However, without the cooperation of the Japanese army in central China, the Japanese army in North China would not dare to launch a battle to attack Xuzhou easily. You must know that the Japanese base camp is still drawing a ban line for the Japanese army in North China.
"Sakagaki and Isoya are both competitive and competitive, which is an opportunity for us. The core of the 'Aprils' Day' plan is to take advantage of the Japanese army's efforts to make achievements, believing in their arrogant weaknesses, and luring the Japanese army into the grave." Li Delin said.
"The Japanese Isogaki Division plus Sakagaki's Fifth Division's final strength may exceed 80,000, or even 100,000." Bai Jiansheng said, "And they have air advantages, so we can concentrate at least 30 divisions to compete with it."
"That's right, at least the strength of the 30th Division." Li Delin agreed with Bai Jiansheng's judgment.
"So how many of them do you have now?"
“There are less than twenty northern lines of Jinpu Road.”
"The gap is one third. Even if the honorary first division can fight three, there are at least seven. This is just a match. If you want to achieve your plan, you will need at least ten divisions!" Bai Jiansheng said.
"No, when the quantitative change comes, a qualitative change will form. When the power reaches equilibrium, a little power can leverage the entire battle situation." Li Delin shook his head and said.
"With that being said, how can we do it?" Bai Jiansheng asked with a headache.
"There are not many soldiers, but the key is the elite. Although there are many troops in the Fifth War Zone, there are not many elite troops. Apart from us, there is only one Central Army in the Fifth War Zone, and that is not sent by Mr. Jiang himself." Li Delin felt angry when he talked about this. Even if you, Chiang Kai-shek, and you are in the Songhu area, you should not do this. Even if you send a Central Army to do the work of the local tyrants.
"Dong De, you don't have to worry about this. If you really fight, Mr. Jiang will increase your troops." Bai Jiansheng said. If Chiang really doesn't give Li Delin's support, he will lose the morale of the whole country and the people. Which is more important, he can still clearly understand.
Li Delin also knew that Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to take the blame for the world, so he took over as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone. With Bai Jiansheng's support in the court, he was reluctant to do it.
"I don't want the messy troops, and I'm asking them not to come. It's a mess, and the logistics supply will kill me in the fifth war zone!" Li Delin agreed with Leng Feng's view very much.
It is not a good thing to be a large army. If you command it, you will make a big fuss if you don’t care about it. Besides, having more troops means that your strength will increase.
The Japanese wish you could transfer all your troops to the Xuzhou battlefield so that they could eat your well-trained troops and continue to fight.
In fact, the Japanese army launched the Jinpu Road war, which had this goal.
The Japanese base camp believes that Xuzhou is a military center and its geographical location is very important. The Jinpu Road and the Longhai Railway meet within the territory. Once Xuzhou is occupied, Longhai Road will be in danger of being cut off. Therefore, it is judged that the Zhong* team will definitely defend Xuzhou to the death, and the Zhong* team will continue to increase troops to Xuzhou. This is an opportunity to eat away the elite Chinese troops.
If China eats the strongest Chinese troops, then China can only surrender obediently.
The Japanese have been having this beautiful dream for a long time, but unfortunately, it is just a dream.
Bai Jiansheng closed his eyes. He had to think about this issue carefully and could not make a decision easily.
"Do you know Leng Feng was taken over by Yang Gengguang as a disciple?"
"What?" Bai Jiansheng opened his eyes and showed a surprised gaze.
"My feeling is that Yang Gengguang is here for Leng Feng this time." Li Delin said, "He also agrees with the 'Aprils' Day' plan. If you can speak Liu Weizhang, the chance of us talking to Mr. Jiang will be even greater."
"Liu Weizhang has always been steady and may not obey you and me." Bai Jiansheng smiled bitterly.
"If you succeed or not, you have to give it a try. How long does Mr. Jiang plan to stay in Xuzhou?"
"I guess I'll leave tomorrow. The GMD Provisional National Congress will be held on the 29th. This was decided before the New Year and I must rush back." Bai Jiansheng said.
"I will meet Mr. Jiang in person tonight." Li Delin decided.
"I'll accompany you." Bai Jiansheng said.
Leng Feng was not interested in the red tape of the arrival of the trip, so he drove back to the small building directly. His official Weibo account was light, and Old Jiang would not summon him for a while.
Yang Jie was called away by a phone call as soon as he arrived at Xiaolou.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek had arrived at the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone. After a brief rest, he convened the main military and political chiefs of the Fifth War Zone to report on the defense situation of the war zone.
In the huge battle room, the stars shine, gathering together.
"The area north of Xuzhou is suitable for defense operations, especially the Taierzhuang area east of Jinpu Road, which is close to the mountainous areas in southern Shandong and the Grand Canal. The terrain is complex and the Japanese army is not familiar with the terrain here. Our army can lure the enemy into here, concentrate several times of its troops, and fight an annihilation battle." Liu Weizhang pointed on the map.
Slap sex...
"Okay, this is the Shandong South combat plan jointly formulated by the Military Command and the Fifth War Zone. I think it's OK. What do you think?" asked Lao Jiang.
"This plan is very good. If we can concentrate our efforts to eliminate a part of the Japanese army, we will definitely be able to buy some time for the transfer in the rear."
"Yes, if you play it well, this game of chess will be alive."
“What about south of Jinpu Road?”
"The Japanese army in Central China was severely damaged by me, and there is no plan to go north yet. The Fifth War Zone deployed four armies south of the Huaihe River, with nearly 100,000 troops. Even if the Japanese army has an attempt to go north, it can be completely stopped. In addition, there is also a unit of xsj that will cooperate to fight guerrillas on the southern line of the Jinpu Road and restrain the Japanese army and its forces. The 18th Army of North China will also send troops to restrain and harass the Japanese army that went south."
"Can the Commander judge the next step of the Japanese army?"
"According to the information currently available, the Japanese army continues to increase its troops, and it is very likely to launch an attack on southern Shandong and Xuzhou areas in early or mid-next month. The key target is Xuzhou. The Japanese army in Shanxi is resting, but it may also support the attack of the Japanese army in Shandong." Liu Weizhang said.
"Director Liu, why is there no mention of Honorary First Division in this plan?"
"this……"
"The Honorary First Division fought hard in Nanjing and Chuzhou areas for several months, with heavy casualties and exhausted officers and soldiers. The commander-in-chief decided to transfer it into the rear to rest and fight again." Lin Wei stood up and said.
"The Honor Division must be transferred..."
"How can I fight this battle? All the best fighters have left?"
"Now, there is no central army in the fifth zone. This is too much..."
“…”
All the generals were talking about it, and some had publicly expressed their dissatisfaction. The Fifth War Zone was not raised by the stepmother. Chiang Kai-shek cherished his feathers so much that he would keep it for him in the future.
"Silent, quiet!" Li Delin stood up and said.
"The achievements of the Honorary First Division are obvious to all. It is normal for people to turn back to the rear and rest. However, please consider the actual situation of the Fifth War Zone. Once the Honorary First Division is transferred, the Japanese army in the Jiangnan region will surely move north quickly. At that time, the Fifth War Zone will fight on two fronts, and the combat plan in southern Shandong will become a terrible." Li Delin said.
"Dong De, if you transfer the Honorary First Division, it is not that you will not send troops to the Fifth War Zone. Don't worry about this. Mr. Jiang has ordered the Fujian Li Yannian Corps, the Yunnan Lu Xiong Corps, and the newly formed 200 Division to be ready to join the Fifth War Zone at any time." Lin Wei hurriedly explained.
"These are beyond reach. If the fight starts tomorrow, will they be able to enter the battlefield within a few days?"
Lin Wei suddenly became silent. He didn't expect Li Delin to be so excited.
