Chapter 303 Snow Red and Blood White 4

Chen Kebin, who was transferred to the commander of Chifeng's garrison, was very strange about the sudden order of first-level combat readiness? How could the Japanese army attack the morning sun? Is Chen Kebin's first reaction that his brain is flooded? Is this the right weather for war? Chen Kebin also admitted that he was indeed very adventurous and did catch the tenth war zone unprepared.

Chen Kebin soon received an order. The 7th Division of the Youth Army immediately reinforced Chaoyang. His Chifeng garrison commander was temporarily replaced by Zhang Yaoming to command the new 7th Division of the Youth Army to reinforce Chaoyang? Chen Kebin felt a little doubt about the task assigned by Zhang Xuewu himself. Why didn't he devote himself to the armored first division in the Dingyuan camp? Instead, let the infantry with relatively slow marching speed reinforce? How many kilometers can your troops march in a day in this weather? I'm afraid it's not much faster than the turtle!

Chen Kebin realized at that time that it was likely that the cold weather affected the mechanized troops, because all the vehicles of the new 7th Division of the Youth Army under his command could not be launched, and the herdsmen' camels and horses were requisitioned. Chen Kebin was anxious, but the troops slowly soared like a turtle crawling. Lacking the necessary equipment for the snow march and carrying a large number of cold-proof materials, the reinforcements of the 7th Division of the Youth Army were extremely slow.

Ling Yuan, the main force of the new fourth division of the Youth Army in the 10th Theater, which reinforced Chaoyang from Chengde, was stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army. After Zhan Yang launched a full-scale attack of the troops for a day and night, he found that the Japanese army's strength was inconsistent with the intelligence. The Japanese army was not a brigade, but several divisions. The new fourth division of the youth army was on the side. The troops of the Japanese army appeared in the wings, and the air force could provide very little support, so Zhan Yang immediately reported the latest enemy situation to Hao Wenbin, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the 10th war zone. The 4th Division of the Youth Army was blocked and began to shrink the defense and wait for help.

In fact, Zhanyang encountered the 10th Division, the 22nd Division, the 35th Division and the 36th Division under the jurisdiction of the Second Front Army of the Japanese Kanto Army. The four main divisions of the Second Front Army of the Japanese Army gathered from the direction of Jinzhou to attack in the southwest of Chaoyang, and moved forward with Lingyuan and the Youth Army. The first troops of the new fourth division launched a fierce exchange of fire. Because the new fourth division of the youth army commanded by Zhan Yang was the main division of the second army in the tenth war zone, the attack action was very rapid. For a moment, it also covered Ijiya's head and couldn't figure out the number of reinforcements [***].

If Isoya Rensuke can seize the good opportunity for Zhanyang to launch a full-scale attack to counterattack and divide the flanks, then the new Fourth Division of the Youth Army will be in danger.

The new seventh division of Hao Wenbin's youth army, which was reinforced from Chifeng, could only march slowly along the railway. The follow-up engineering troops were repairing the roadbed buried by heavy snow. Two armored trains equipped with 150mm heavy howitzers were slowly following up. Hao Wenbin did not know that Zhanyang's new fourth division of the youth army was attacked. Blocking situation.

It can be said that the sudden attack of the Japanese army has plunged Zhang Xuewu's tenth war zone into a comprehensive passive situation. Zhang Xuewu has always adhered to the purpose of the people's army for the people. However, in disaster relief emergencies, Zhang Xuewu is used to thinking of the army, but Zhang Xuewu ignores the ultimate embodiment of the army as a violent organ, so It is to take on combat tasks, which also confirms that war always breaks out when it is most likely to break out.

The 10th war zone fell into chaos because of the large-scale attack of the Japanese army. Li Zongren, who was ready to fight to the death with him on the Jinpu line, became a visitor. The Kanto army attacked the tenth war zone in a large-scale way. It is estimated that the main force of the North China Japanese army has been transferred to participate in the war. Inevitably, if the fifth war zone can take advantage of the gap of the division of troops, first concentrate its forces to defeat the main force of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army, recapture Nanjing, and give a heavy blow to the North China Front of the Japanese Army, the whole domestic anti-Japanese situation will take a major turnaround in an instant!

Li Zongren was extremely excited to report his overall plan to the Supreme Military Commission of the Central Committee, but it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake. At most, it was just a stagnant. As the highest military commander, Chiang Kai-shek seemed to have no reaction to this?

After Li Zongren said three consecutive telegrams, Chiang Kai-shek did not come forward, but Bai Chongxi hurried over from Wuhan. The whole battle plan of the previous battle in Xuzhou was formulated by Bai Chongxi. Except for the two Guangxi armies and the elite units of the Central Army, the remaining more than 400,000 local miscellaneous departments. The team was used as cannon fodder, which was a disguised compromise of Bai Chongxi. This method was also recognized by Chiang Kai-shek. A battle can consume hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous troops, which was unimaginable before. Canceling the number of dozens of divisions is equivalent to reducing the supply pressure of the central political axe. On the contrary, The Central Army can also be newly or additionally added a part of the elite troops.

To this end, Chiang Kai-shek also gave Li the number of a new editor to Liao Lei of the 21st Army, and added part of the Soviet weapons to the Fifth Theater for the first time. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek still recognized Li Zongren's combat plan, but in his opinion, the timing was far from premature. He It's better to sit back and watch the tenth war zone be completely destroyed by the Japanese army, and let me cut off his biggest confidant.

From military aid to mysterious financial support in the tenth war zone, coupled with the gold of Chaoyang and Mongolia, it can be said that it has reached the point of being able to compete with the central political axe, which made Chiang Kai-shek very worried. Thinking of Zhang Xuewu's humble expression and appearance in the past, Chiang Kai-shek had an impulse to spit blood, which was indeed the most tolerable. It is the true face of Xiaoxiong. Zhang Xueliang is just a playboy, but Zhang Xuewu is an authentic Xiaoxiong figure. If he is not killed, the young Zhang Xuewu will be the biggest competitor to fight for power with him.

Now Chiang Kai-shek also understands that the only thing he can control Zhang Xuewu is the righteousness of resisting. Under this righteousness, Zhang Xuewu will be jointly supervised by 450,000 compatriots. Of course, he, Jiang, is also under supervision. The superiors make rules, and the lower ones are limited by others. Chiang Kai-shek absolutely does not He is a person who can be limited by others. All those who have tried to compete for power and profits with him for so many years have been knocked down to the ground. In this aspect, he is successful. If the people's livelihood is ruined and withered, the domestic warlords are divided, and they do not accept the central government's mobilization. If the country has no status in the world can come to this point, I should also thank myself in disguise. It was the slaughter and invasion that forced the Chinese people to return to a banner.

Li Zongren's telegram did not get any callback. Bai Chongxi, who returned to Wuhan, came to Xuzhou again. Li Zongren had already understood the meaning. Bai Chongxi looked at the unhappy Li Zongren and said, "De neighbor! Don't compete for the length of a while. The meaning of the seat is very clear. The tenth war zone already has a posture of self-respect. Now it is said that I concentrate my forces to attack the tenth war zone. The meaning of the commission seat is to let us prepare everything and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. The tenth war zone and I can be said to be two fierce tigers that are evenly matched. The Tenth War Zone is also a big trouble for the Kwantung Army. This battle is imperative. What we have to wait for is an opportunity. When both the tenth war zone and I are defeated, the central government will also strengthen the control of the tenth war zone.

Li Zongren took a deep breath and said, "My lips are dead and my teeth are cold! This is a national and national war. If we sit back like this, we will be scolded by the Chinese people. I'm afraid this is also Jiang Gong's plan to kill two birds with one stone, right? You and I should not go the old path of Zhang Hanqing in those years! It's like killing without blood!"

Bai Chongxi was slightly stunned and said, "With the strength of the tenth war zone, it is mostly said that she was caught off guard by the Japanese army. If the war is delayed until after May, there may be a turning point. Now because of the blizzard, the huge air force in the tenth war zone cannot exert its due power, and there are two armored divisions in the tenth war zone. Hundreds of tanks, heavy artillery! The heavy hit said that I was expected.

Li Zongren nodded and said, "If we win in the tenth war zone, I'm afraid our position will be more awkward at that time. When I turn around and concentrate on attacking us, will Zhang Xuewu help us who sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"

Bai Chongxi shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm afraid that I have also seen through this, that is, to fight our fifth war zone, the tenth war zone will definitely respond actively, and even send troops to attack the rear of the road on a large scale, but in the tenth war zone, we may sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, saying that I touch the spleen of our people very well. It's transparent! However, you also know the temper of the committee. If you go up and down, you and I will just listen to the orders! Now the committee holds high the flag of resistance. Who keeps greeting? They are the only husbands and thieves.

On the occasion of the secret meeting between Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, it was learned that all three consecutive attacks had failed, and the troops who lost more than 2,000 people immediately adjusted the offensive and defensive focus of Chaoyang Fortress. The east side of Chaoyang Fortress is the weakness of the whole fortress. As long as it breaks through the east side, the troops can be continuously sent into the city. In the middle, there was a battle for the inside of the fortress, and finally conquered the core fortress of Wolf Mountain. Therefore, the latest Type 97 150mm cannon shipped from the mainland was highly expected. The Japanese Army's Type 97 150mm cannon is a weight-reducing replacement rack on the basis of the Type 38 150mm cannon. The so-called new weapon of old wine in new bottles.

I have always been slack in designing and updating the army's weapons. I always think that the army's weapons are better than the enemy's, so no one cares about the army's new equipment. On the contrary, the navy has always been ambitious to build a giant ship that even the British dares not try.

As the garrison commander of Chaoyang, Dai Peng judged from the large-scale tactical adjustment of the Japanese army and the area where artillery was concentrated that he wanted to attack the east of the city. Is he really afraid of anything?
