Chapter 233: The Kwantung Army is heading south
Everyone present was silent, but they all knew in their hearts that from the moment they put on the military uniform, they had no choice.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Zhou Weiguo waved his hand and narrowed his eyes; "His Bantan Division is elite, and my independent regiment is no pushover either. It's still uncertain who will win."
Tian Jing also spoke up, "That's right, why bother about so many things? In terms of weapons and equipment, we are no worse than anyone else, and we have the 41st Army next to us. I'm just wondering, after the Japanese army suffered a big loss this time, how will they deploy their troops to launch a counterattack next time?"
If he has the guts, he can go south. Does he dare?
Wuhan. At the temporary headquarters of the Lixing Society, Deng Yaoxian, dressed in military uniform, strode into the office of his action team.
Not long after I picked up the teacup, Du Xun walked in from outside; "Fourth brother, third brother is here."
Third brother?
He is the person in charge of assassinations and sabotage operations. Why did he suddenly come to me? Could it be that he asked his people to go out and assassinate? When it comes to assassinations, shouldn't he be the one who does more?
Deng Yaoxian didn't understand, but he still asked Du Xun to invite the person in.
"Old Four, Old Four, this time I have to ask you for help." Yan Lao San came to Deng Yaoxian; "This time, I really have no other choice."
"What's wrong?" Deng Yaoxian raised his head and glanced at him. He didn't believe that the man in front of him really had no solution, he just didn't want to worry about it.
Yan Lao San sighed and took out a document; "Here is the intelligence that was just intercepted, take a look."
Deng Yaoxian took the telegram and looked at it for a moment, then he also frowned.
The Japanese army suffered a great loss in the Fifth War Zone. More than half of the Isogai Division was killed in Taierzhuang, and the Seya Detachment was defeated in Fuji County. The Japanese army in North China suffered a great loss this time. On the southern front, because the Nanjing defenders broke through in time, they did not make much progress. So this time, Xuzhou is still on their side.
Wuhan has ordered the mobilization of troops from all units to Xuzhou, preparing to fight a victorious battle.
"The Japanese army may have discovered that our main force is moving towards Xuzhou, and they want to annihilate our main force around Xuzhou." Deng Yaoxian put down the telegram and deduced the Japanese army's intention.
The Central Army, Sichuan Army, Yunnan Army, and the 102nd Division, which was originally reorganized in Guizhou, have all received orders to be transferred to the Fifth War Zone. The Fifth War Zone, which used to be led by local troops, has now gathered a large number of heroes. Almost a quarter of the Central Army has gone.
How could the Japanese army not be excited when facing these hundreds of thousands of troops?
The elite troops of the Kwantung Army may enter the pass, this is the content of the telegram.
If the Kwantung Army goes south, how can the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xuzhou intercept them? They are not just a bunch of businessmen in the Fourth Division. Their combat effectiveness, the current strength of the troops here, I am afraid they can't stop them.
"Boss, are you planning to ask you to assassinate the top brass of the Kwantung Army?"
"That's right, the old man is crazy, the boss is crazy too, the Kwantung Army is so easy to assassinate, even if I can kill a few people, can't the other side transfer generals over?" Yan Lao San collapsed on the sofa with no hope in life; "Lao Si, you are the best among us brothers, please help me."
"Well, this is not a good idea. Instead of getting to know the opponent again, it is better to use the original opponent so that we can still fight." Deng Yaoxian said helplessly.
Yan Lao San laughed, "It's just a matter of dying early or late, what's the difference, Lao Si, don't tell me what I know, tell me something I don't know."
"I don't know." Deng Yaoxian turned his head to look at Yan Laosan; "What can I do?"
Yan Laosan put down the teacup with a wronged look on his face. "You can't just stand by and watch someone die. The boss has already given the order. If I..."
He rolled his eyes and said, "If the Kwantung Army goes south, hundreds of thousands of troops will be trampled by their cavalry in an instant. Lao Si, you have to help this time no matter what."
Deng Yaoxian raised his hand slightly to signal him to stop talking, and then said to Du Xun beside him: "Get ready, I have to go to Xuzhou."
I'm afraid Zhou Weiguo will have to step in on this matter.
The 74th Army was located in the center of Teng County, the 59th Army was located in Lincheng, and the 41st Army and the Independent Regiment were located next to Qingshui Town. The three sides formed a corner, so no matter which side the Japanese attacked, the other two sides could quickly reinforce.
This is Yu Huohuo’s deployment, and according to the news sent by the Fifth War Zone, two more armies of soldiers will be entrusted to his command.
"It's not a wise move." Yu Huohuo shook his head and pointed at the map to the two people beside him; "The terrain is unfavorable, the equipment is unfavorable, and the training is unfavorable. If we fight a decisive battle here, I'm afraid this will be the next Shanghai."
He roughly understood what Wuhan meant, that is, to pursue the victory and, if possible, to annihilate the Japanese army and force them to the negotiation table. But this was easier said than done.
The North China Front Army lost only one Isogai Division and one detachment. Although the rest of the troops were lost, the losses were not great. In this case, how to fight a decisive battle? In addition, the Central China Front Army and the Shanghai Expeditionary Army are also pushing in this direction. How can we win by attacking from both the north and the south?
"No one can solve the problem." Commander Wang beside him sighed.
"Damn it, what a bunch of useless people. I don't even know what those people in the General Staff Headquarters are doing." Yu Huohuo cursed with gritted teeth.
Before the two people next to him could say anything, a teasing voice came from outside; "This is the first time I hear you, Yu Huohuo, actually curse them for being incompetent."
Yu Huohuo turned his head and saw that it was Deng Yaoxian who came in. He hummed, put down the pencil in his hand and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I want someone." Deng Yaoxian ignored the people present and went straight to the map.
Yu Huohuo didn't understand why the Lixing Society could still ask for people from him.
"You don't have enough people in your Lixing Society. You must have arranged a lot of people just on my side. Don't go too far. If you make me angry, I will catch them all and shoot them."
Yu Huohuo slammed the table. If he started to act stupidly, he wouldn't pay any attention to anyone.
Deng Yaoxian, who had known about his bad temper for a long time, ignored him. The more you pay attention to this person, the more arrogant he becomes. It is best to just ignore him. Naturally, he stopped talking.
"Who do you want?" Seeing that Deng Yao ignored him, Yu Huohuo couldn't help but come to him. "You are a captain, but you come to me in a mysterious way. What are you thinking?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Thinking of the man in front of him and his own Zhou Weiguo, he instantly howled like a provoked hedgehog; "You want my Zhou Weiguo, I tell you, Mr. Deng, just give up on this idea. I will kill you even if it costs me my life..."
Deng Yaoxian turned his head to look at him, then took a pencil from the side. He was also very good at drawing, and with just a simple stroke, Yu Huohuo instantly closed his mouth and stared at the map.
After a while, he took a deep breath and said weakly, "Whoever you want, I'll give it to you."
