    The victory in Bengbu was too shocking. After being excited, the big bosses of the Third War Zone Chief's Department ordered people to report the victory to the Military Commission. At the same time, they also asked the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to commend the meritorious officers.

    Wuhan. Official residence of the leader.

    In the Chairman¡¯s office, Military Command Director Dai Li was reporting work matters to Chairman Chiang.

    "Yunong, what's going on with the Japanese army recently?" Chairman Chiang asked calmly.

    "Commissioner, the Japanese army in North China is attacking southern Shanxi. In addition, its main force, the Fifth Division and the Tenth Division, are attacking southward along the north bank of the Grand Canal. The goal is to seize Xuzhou. The enemy's Central China Front has also deployed its No. 3 troops in Zhenjiang.  3. The 9th Division in the Suzhou area went north to prepare to cooperate with the Japanese army on the northern front to attack Xuzhou, while the 13th Division and the 101st Division besieged Bengbu."

    Then Dai Li's tone became a little solemn and continued: "In addition, we have received accurate news. The enemy's Central China Front has ordered Hisao Tani's 6th Division to be sent from Hexian, Hanshan, Chaoxian, Zhegao, and Shang  He is attacking Hefei, and the main force of the third theater is fighting with it, butbut"

    "But what?"

    "But the situation seems to be a little bad!"

    "Let me be clear, what is not very good?" Chairman Chiang said in a deep voice.

    "The specific situation is that the Third War Zone originally deployed its main force on the southern front. As a result, the main force of the Japanese 101st Division suddenly attacked Quanjiao. In just a few hours, it defeated the 192nd Division stationed in Quanjiao and attacked the Third War Zone.  He was caught off guard. After Quanjiao fell into the enemy's hands, Hefei's only barrier became Feidong. However, as you know, Feidong's situation is really not conducive to defense!" Dai Li replied.

    Chairman Chiang frowned and said, "Wasn't the situation in Quanjiao always good before? Why was it suddenly conquered by the Japanese army?"

    "Commissioner, Li Guoyao's 7th Division was stationed in Quanjiao before. However, the fighting in Bengbu was urgent a few days ago. The commander of the Third Theater District has ordered the 7th Division to go north to reinforce Bengbu, and at the same time, the 192nd Division was stationed in Quanjiao. But I didn't expect the Japanese army.  Suddenly a main division was mobilized to attack Quanjiao, but the 192nd Division was defeated, the city defense was breached, and Quanjiao fell into the enemy's hands"

    Before Dai Li could finish his words, Chairman Chiang said angrily: "They are all just losers. When Li Guoyao's troops were there, they were able to defeat the invading enemy and abandon their armor. Why can't they do it if they are replaced by our men?"  "

    "Commander, please calm down. The soldiers on the front line are not to blame for this. They have tried their best, but the strength of the little devils is too strong. In just six hours, more than half of the 192nd Division suffered casualties. If Commander Gu hadn't ordered them to withdraw from the entire country,  If we go to Jiaocheng, I'm afraid the 192nd Division may be completely wiped out!"

    Chairman Jiang let out a long sigh and said: "In any case, Quanjiao is lost. If we continue to fight like this, Hefei may not be able to defend it!"

    "Commissioner, the war in Hefei has not yet reached an out-of-control point. The Japanese 101st Division did not continue to advance westward after conquering Quanjiao, but went north to attack Bengbu, so we still have a chance!"

    "You mean to take back Quanjiao?"

    "In addition to recapturing Quanjiao, we can also mobilize reinforcements to the third theater to keep the enemy's 6th Division and 101st Division out of Hefei." Dai Li suggested.

    "Well, then we will order the Third War Zone to recapture Quanjiao, but which troops should be sent to reinforce Hefei?"

    Dai Li suddenly smiled and said: "I have thought of a troop, maybe they can be transferred northward!"

    "That army?"

    "New Fourth Army!"

    "Ye Ting's New Fourth Army?" Chairman Jiang asked with a frown.

    "Yes, that's the New Fourth Army! The New Fourth Army has completed its reorganization and troop mobilization some time ago. Currently, the army has a total of about 10,300 people and more than 6,200 guns. After its main force was concentrated in the Yansi area, the New Fourth Army has been mobilized frequently during this period!  "

    "Oh, what are the actions?"

    "A few days ago, an advance detachment composed of members of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd detachments, led by the Red Party general Su Yu, had set out from southern Anhui to conduct reconnaissance behind enemy lines on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Its 3rd detachment went to the designated Jingxian County  , Nanling, Tongling, and Fanchang areas were deployed to serve as frontal defense of the Yangtze River between Fanchang and Tongling, destroy the Japanese water transportation on the Yangtze River from Nanjing to the west, and attack the enemy strongholds along the coast. "

    Then Dai Li continued: "In addition, Chen Yizhi's 1st detachment went to Nanjing and Zhenjiang areas to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Although it did not achieve any amazing results, it also caused some trouble to the Japanese army, showing  It has considerable strength.¡±

    Hearing this, Chairman Chiang became a little silent. The combat areas they assigned to the New Fourth Army, especially the areas south of the Yangtze River, wereCounty is the place where the enemy's situation is most serious. It is the seat of the headquarters of the enemy's Central China Expedition Force.

    In order to control the land railways, roads, and water transportation along the Yangtze River and inland rivers in this area, the enemy set up numerous strongholds on railways, roads, river banks, and rivers, and dispatched patrols day and night to operate along railways, roads, and river areas.  , in an attempt to prevent and restrict the actions of the anti-Japanese troops.

    In such a place where the enemy situation is serious, let alone the New Fourth Army, which is poorly equipped, has no fixed rear, and has difficulty in supplying troops, even the elite of the national army will have difficulty surviving. However, the New Fourth Army's ability to carry out war activities is indeed a bit beyond Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's expectations.  Anticipate.

    "Commissioner, the New Fourth Army is composed of the Red Party's guerrillas from all over the south of the Yangtze River. It is always inappropriate to stay on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Why not take this opportunity to transfer them all to the north bank of the Yangtze River. This can solve the problem of tight troop strength in the third theater.  , Secondly, it can also allow the Red Party to fight with the Japanese army, killing two birds with one stone, why not?"

    Chairman Jiang nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, this is a way, but the New Fourth Army is a group of rabble after all. Even if it reaches the north of the Yangtze River, it can't be of much help. We have to find another way"

    At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office, alarming the two people inside!

    Chairman Chiang immediately stopped and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

    The door of the office was opened from the outside, and Wang Shihe, director of the Attendant Office, strode in, and said: "Principal, good news from the Third Theater District Chief's Department!"

    "Good news?"

    Chairman Chiang was stunned and said: "Where did the good news come from in the third theater?"

    "Principal, it was our troops that achieved an unprecedented victory on the Bengbu front line. The 59th Army, the 31st Army and the 7th Division completely wiped out the Japanese 101st Division on the Bengbu front line, wiping out more than 23,000 enemy people and killing Japanese soldiers.  Chief Yin Dongzhengxi"

    Before he finished speaking, Chairman Chiang suddenly stood up and asked urgently: "Are you telling the truth? Bengbu was saved and more than 20,000 enemies were wiped out?"

    "Principal, the telegram was sent by the Chief of the Third War Zone, and it was signed by Chief Gu personally. It should be correct!" Wang Shihe replied.

    "Hahaha, good, good, good!" Chairman Jiang burst into hearty laughter and said three good words in a row. It was obvious that he was in a very beautiful mood!

    No wonder, Chairman Chiang has had a really hard time in the past six months. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident last year, the Japanese army attacked the hinterland of China from both north and central China.

    According to the Japanese army¡¯s intention, in the north they are extending towards the hinterland of China along the Pingsui Railway, Pinghan Railway and Jinpu Line, and at the same time in central China, they are advancing westward along the Yangtze River waterway. So far, they can be considered to be making smooth progress.

    In North China, the Japanese army has almost captured all of Shanxi. At the same time, it has moved all the way south in Shandong and invaded the Jinpu line. In Central China, the Japanese army has captured Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other places, and is now actively preparing to attack Wuhan.

    As far as the current overall situation is concerned, the national army is passive everywhere. Bad news comes almost every day. Either this city has been captured by the Japanese army, that unit has been wiped out, or that important member has surrendered to the enemy. In short  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has been very anxious these past six months.

    As for the Battle of Bengbu, Chairman Chiang actually did not have high expectations from the beginning. After all, the strength of both sides was there. When he mobilized so many miscellaneous troops, he did not want the national army to lose too badly. He really did not expect to win the battle.  .

    ¡°But he didn¡¯t expect that the soldiers on the Bengbu front line would be so awesome and give him such a big surprise.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
