Zhang Fakui was insomnia when he received the telegram from the 30th Group Army Headquarters. Just a few hours ago, he had just received a telegram from Wuhan: "The military in Nanxun will be led by Xue (Yue) and Wu (from now on). Commander-in-chief Qi Wei) will be in charge of presiding over the meeting, and Commander-in-Chief Zhang will be transferred back to report on his duties immediately."
Although what the telegram said was a report of work, Zhang Fakui knew that he was being targeted by that person, who wanted to deprive him of his military power!
Zhang Fakui didn't care about being deprived of his military power. Xue Yue and Wu Qiwei were his old subordinates for many years, and Zhang Fakui still trusted them very much.
"The war on the Nanxun Line has just begun, and his military power has been cut off in such an unexplained way. How will he explain it to his countrymen and subordinates?"
¡°He has been advocating for the war of resistance for several years. Where does he want to put his face today?
Thinking of this, Zhang Fakui became filled with resentment and anger, which made him feel unfair. He kept brooding about it, so much so that he couldn't sleep tonight.
It was a shameful thing for him to be dismissed from his post in disguise. He knew that Chiang Kai-shek was angry because he lost Jiujiang, but was it Zhang Fakui's fault that Jiujiang was captured by the Japanese army?
Yes, he is the commander-in-chief of the Second Corps, but he is not omnipotent!
Due to improper preparation and hasty time in the early stage of the Jiujiang Campaign, the roots of subsequent failure have been laid.
The retreat at the end of the battle was also his decision based on the enemy situation in front of him. However, Chairman Chiang misunderstood that he was trying to preserve the strength of the 4th Army.
But Zhang Fakui believed that he not only had no prejudice against the Battle of Jiujiang, but also that during all the major and minor battles in the long period after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he always considered the interests of the country and the people and never mixed his personal interests with it.
Of course, the 4th Army has a great historical relationship with Zhang Fakui. As far back as the Northern Expedition, Zhang Fakui was the first commander of the army. When directing operations, any troops under his command only sought how to deploy to achieve the mission, without any consideration. The deep and shallow relationship between oneself and other troops in order to preserve one's own strength.
If there was such selfish behavior, the 4th Army would have been eliminated long ago. How could the glorious nickname of the "Iron Army" be known to the people of the country?
Tomorrow he will hand over his military power and return to Wuhan, and his boss Chen Cheng quietly sent him a telegram saying that Chairman Chiang was very angry and seemed to want to deal with him.
Although Chen Cheng also said that he would take responsibility for him, after all, he was the commander-in-chief of the ninth theater, and Zhang Fakui was just the commander of the corps.
But Zhang Fakui was still very angry and confused about his future.
However, just at this confused moment, there was a sudden knock on the door!
Zhang Fakui was startled at first, knowing that something must have happened. Although he, the commander of the corps, would be resigning after dawn, it stands to reason that even if the sky fell at this time, it would have nothing to do with Zhang Fakui.
But Zhang Fakui couldn't help but get up, put on his clothes and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was his adjutant Li Qian, who was standing outside the door holding a telegram with an anxious look on his face.
"What happened?" Zhang Fakui said hurriedly.
"Sir, I just received a telegram from the 30th Group Army"
"Why, the front line of Lion Rock was breached by the Japanese?" Zhang Fakui asked hurriedly.
"That's not true, it was the Botian detachment that withdrew, and it withdrew very hastily!"
"What, the Botian detachment withdrew its troops, when did it happen?" Zhang Fakui asked hurriedly.
"Half an hour ago, you should check the specific situation yourself!" Li Qian said and handed the telegram to Zhang Fakui.
Zhang Fakui didn¡¯t dare to neglect, he immediately took the telegram and started reading it.
The telegram was not long, and Zhang Fakui read it in less than two minutes. However, his brows furrowed after reading it.
The Botian detachment withdrew its troops, but encountered a mysterious unit on the way. A battle broke out between the two sides, and an unidentified unit suddenly appeared on the left side of the 30th Group Army, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people?
What happened on the front line, why did the Botian detachment withdraw its troops, and who were the troops fighting the Botian detachment?
For a time, countless questions and mysteries surged through Zhang Fakui¡¯s mind, making it difficult for him to figure it out!
"Immediately notify all combat staff officers and nearby generals to come to the headquarters for a meeting!" Zhang Fakui said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
"Although this matter has little to do with him, and he will return to Wuhan tomorrow to report on his work, but so what,"?At least at this moment, he is still the commander-in-chief of the Second Corps, and the more than 100,000 troops on the front line are still under his command.
Soon, everyone in the Second Corps was moving, and all the lights in the headquarters were on!
Ten minutes later, all the national army generals and staff officers arrived in the combat command room.
Zhang Fakui, who was dressed in military uniform, stared at the military map on the wall and said, "Everyone, this is what happened. Think about it, what kind of trick is this kid trying to do?"
Guan Linzheng, commander-in-chief of the 32nd Group Army, thought for a while and said: "Brother Xiang Hua, in my opinion, there are only two reasons for the Japanese army's move!"
"Those two, let's talk about it!" Zhang Fakui said.
"First, the retreat of the Japanese army is a conspiracy. The purpose is to lure our troops to pursue them so that they can eliminate them during the movement. After all, we have complete fortifications on the front line of Lion Rock. As long as our troops do not take advantage of the credit and take the initiative to attack the Japanese troops, If we launch an attack, it is unlikely that the Botian detachment will defeat our unit!"
"Well, that makes sense. Let's talk about the second possibility!" Zhang Fakui said again.
"The second possibility is that there is a problem in the rear of the Japanese army and they have to retreat!"
"The rear? The Japanese army has captured Hukou, Pengze, and Anqing along the Yangtze River. Their rear is theoretically very stable. What can go wrong?" Zhang Fakui asked with a frown.
"This is also what I am confused about. According to the telegram, the Japanese army retreated in a very hasty manner. Not only were some of the marching supplies not taken away, they even did not have time to deal with the bodies of those who died in the past few days. This is unprecedented among all Japanese troops. It is extremely rare, which shows that the sudden retreat of the Japanese army this time is not likely to lure our army into pursuit."
Then Guan Linzheng continued: "And judging from the battle between the Botian detachment and the mysterious force later, there should be a problem in its rear. Otherwise, it would be impossible to withdraw the troops suddenly, let alone fight with the opponent halfway!"
Zhang Fakui raised his head and looked at the map again and again. Suddenly his eyes were fixed on Yong'an, and then moved to Jiujiang City!
"Rear area, Jiujiang!"
Suddenly Zhang Fakui clapped his hands and said loudly: "Immediately send scouts to the direction of Jiujiang to investigate and see if there is any sound of fighting there!"
While the combat staff sent the report, Guan Linzheng asked in surprise: "Brother Xiang Hua, do you mean there is a problem in Jiujiang where the Japanese army is stationed?"
"Well, that should be the case. The little devil has a firm goal of attacking Wuhan. If there hadn't been a problem in the rear, the old thief Botian would not have withdrawn his troops in such a hurry!" Zhang Fakui said immediately.
"Who on earth has the courage to counterattack Jiujiang, and who is it that appears to the north of the 30th Group Army?" Guan Linzheng asked in a deep voice.
"No need to guess, it must be the 61st Army!"
"Li Guoyao's troops?"
"Well, when we withdrew our troops from Jiujiang, Li Guoyao told me that he would counterattack Jiujiang. Although I agreed with his plan at the time, I was not very optimistic about it. But now it seems that they have accomplished it!" Zhang Fakuiyi He said with a happy face.
"If this is the case, then this will be of great benefit to our next battle!"
Zhang Fakui nodded and said: "Yes, as long as Jiujiang is recaptured, then to the south we can encircle the 106th Division with the First Corps, and to the west we can flank the Botian Detachment, which will severely damage the Japanese vanguard!"
More importantly, Zhang Fakui saw hope in this matter, a hope that he would not be deprived of military power, let alone severely punished by military law.
As long as Li Guoyao's troops can really retake Jiujiang, then the Military Commission and Chairman Chiang have no reason to hold on to this matter. It has to be said that Li Guoyao and the 61st Army turned out to be his savior Zhang Fakui.
"Then what should we do now?" Guan Linzheng said.
"Don't worry, tell Wang Lingji and let them gather immediately and be ready to pursue the Japanese army at any time!"
"yes!"
"In addition, give orders to the frontline troops to prepare for the counterattack on Jiujiang!"
"yes!"
