For Pan Qiwu’s remarks, Boss Dai is well aware of faction disputes in the troops of the Shancheng government. The key is that the major warlords in the army are very powerful, although after the Central Plains war, the old man established He took his place, but the warlords still existed, only to make a superficial compromise.

It was also because of this situation that the old man took good care of his direct line of troops. The Shancheng government’s resources were tilted sideways, and the local warlord’s army was attacked, wooed, and divided, which naturally caused strong dissatisfaction with the local factions. .

In addition, the direct line of troops and the local army cooperate in combat. The direct line of troops has always put the local army at the forefront as cannon fodder. This approach is also quite inappropriate, but it involves the old man’s strategy. As a direct line of boss Dai, I can’t say. Something else.

"Although there are many factions in our Shancheng government's army, there are often things like dragging their feet and failing to save them. But this time, they can't all be blamed for their poor rescue. Who would have thought that the Japanese intelligence agency would actually order the military committee's telegram They were all deciphered, and the action plan was informed by the Japanese military foresight."

"The reason why they have been unable to break through the Japanese defense line is not that they deliberately put the Tenth Army to death. Under the strict orders of the committee, the fight was also very difficult. The Japanese army intercepted heavily, and the weapons and equipment were much stronger than ours. It’s also huge."

"In the final analysis, it is that the generals leading the troops have the mind to preserve their strength, and are not so determined. They dare not risk the danger of being encircled by the Japanese army to rescue. But then, the Tenth Army is completely hopeless. Less than 20,000 Human strength responded to the siege of the four Japanese divisions, and failure was only a matter of days." Dai Li said.

On August 7, the Tenth Army, which was unable to support the battle, sent a farewell telegram to the Shancheng government, and then burned important documents to destroy the radio station, destroyed artillery and other heavy weapons, and prepared for a decisive battle.

Lieutenant General Fang Xianjue announced the disbandment of the military and committed suicide by drawing his gun. Fortunately, he was stopped by the adjutant.

Considering that there are still more than 13,000 officers and soldiers in Hengzhou, most of them are wounded and sick, the commander of the army can not let them go. After discussing with the division commanders, it is decided to send the chief of staff and adjutant to the Japanese army to contact with conditions. lay down your weapon.

Subsequently, Li Sanshu, the commander of the Japanese 68th Division, negotiated with the commander of the army. The 47-day Hengzhou defense campaign ended, and Hengzhou has been destroyed. .

This victory recorded in history was a victory. The Japanese army itself lost more than 40,000 men. The four divisions were equal to a reduction of more than half, or more than half, while the Tenth Army killed more than 5,000 people.

"Boss Dai called an order to ask the Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan offices directly under our station to rescue the commander Fang under house arrest and to send people to the mountain city safely."

"The commissioner spoke highly of the outstanding performance of the Tenth Army in the defense of Hengzhou, and believed that it was understandable that Commander Fang had to lay down his weapons this time." Wang Zhen said.

At this point in the battle, even the committee seat of the Shancheng government knows that some are sorry for General Fang Xianjue. He said that the reinforcements did not succeed when the city was broken. He felt guilty in his heart, and unexpectedly did not hold the Tenth Army to lay down his weapons. Instead, the rescue party must be aware of his behavior and entrusted with important tasks in the future.

Such matters are naturally better handled by the Military Unification Bureau, and the headquarters of the bureau directly did not consider it, and placed the heavy burden on the station directly under it, and did not even mention the Provincial Station of the Military Unification Bureau in Hunan Province.

In the battle carried out by the dispatch of troops, the performance of the two sides was very different. Before the battle of the North China Front Army to open up the Ping-Han Railway, they had collected a lot of intelligence and accurately warned the headquarters of the first theater.

At the same time, the directly affiliated station monitored the Japanese army in central China from the Japanese command level and through the Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan offices until the outline of the entire combat plan was figured out.

As for the Tanzhou Station in Xiang Province, it was so confused about the battle that took place at its doorstep, and the messages sent to the bureau headquarters were scattered and worthless. If this is the case, let's be honest and cool down!

"Then you will give Jiang Anhua a power generation and ask him to personally supervise this task. Now that Hengzhou has just fallen, the Japanese army must be very strict in supervision. Don't do it at this time, and warn him to have enough patience and wait until the enemy relaxes. Carry out the rescue plan."

"I'm going to Jinling. After Wang Jingwei came to Japan for treatment, I haven't met with Chen Gongbo to learn about the current situation of the traitor. By the way, I also chatted with Matsui Taikuro who is in Jinling. I just listened to Yoshitaro Kawamoto's news. I don't think it is enough." Chen Mingxiang said.

Although Yoshitaro Kawamoto is the deputy chief of staff of the dispatch army, he has been in the Shanghai stock market for a long time, and he knows the situation of the headquarters a little later. But Matsui Takuro is completely different. As the chief of staff of the dispatch army, what Things will be notified in advance.

This time to Jinling, although he was still flying on an Army Airline plane, he did not notify Ma Xiaotian and other leaders of the Police Department in advance. He just didn't want too many people to know that he was in Jinling.

Marshal Toshiro Hata was in Jiangcheng and directly commanded the decision-making process of the Xianggui Campaign. Therefore, Lieutenant General Matsui Tajiro, the chief of staff of the dispatch army based in Jinling, did not have too much work at the moment, and he happily accepted Chen Mingxiang's banquet.

If the Chief of General Staff wants to do something, there will be endless things to do, and he is unwilling to do things. There is a large group of staff under his hand, as well as the Deputy Chief of Staff!

The topic inevitably talks about this war, and Chen Mingxiang also received a piece of information that is not classified as classified. Why is it not classified as classified? It was because of a fine adjustment by the Japanese army.

The Japanese Army Staff Headquarters believes that as the situation changes, the dispatching army’s general headquarters should immediately prepare to organize a unified defense combat system that is compatible with the mainland. Therefore, the command organization of the commander-in-chief of Hata Shunroku will not be stationed in Jiangcheng. Suitable.

Both the Japanese General Staff Headquarters and the Dispatching Army General Headquarters believe that it is necessary to establish a new front-level command organization in the Hubei and Guangdong regions of China and the Guangdong and Guangxi regions to uniformly command operations in these four regions and direct government affairs in the occupied regions.

And this front army is the sixth front army, commanding the Japanese 11th Army, 23rd Army, 34th Army and the Hong Kong Governor's Department.

The staff officers of the dispatch army general headquarters recommended to the base camp Lieutenant General Yokoyama Yong of the 11th Army Command as the commander of the Sixth Front Army.

The reason is that the front command needs to directly command the front operations, and a commander like Yokoyama who has the ability to control the battlefield and command decisively is the most suitable.
