After watching Ma Desheng leave with a look of confusion on his face, Li Guoyao smiled and shook his head!
He knew that Ma Desheng still had questions in his heart, but he didn't intend to explain anything!
In fact, it can definitely be seen from Ma Desheng's smart class. He probably didn't do it all as he said, but to help Xuezhong.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The reason why Li Guoyao asked Yu Xuezhong to send troops to Linyi was certainly to help Xuezhong and the Sulu Theater become famous, but more importantly, Li Guoyao needed someone to support him.
¡°As Li Guoyao just said, in such a difficult situation, whether it is the Shandong Guerrilla Corps or Yu Xuezhong¡¯s headquarters, the only way to gain a foothold and develop is to fight and win the war.
Chiang Kai-shek's fear of the Northeast Army was obvious to all. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek was planning to dismember the Northeast Army. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he divided and used all the six remaining armies of the Northeast Army, especially those who were favored by the young marshal. Both Yu Xuezhong and Wu Keren were regarded as a thorn in Shangfeng's side.
Wu Keren¡¯s 67th Army fought from North China to Central China, and finally fell into Songjiang City, almost becoming a tragic victim with the entire army annihilated.
Yu Xuezhong's department also almost made the same mistake, but Yu Xuezhong's methods were more clever. He did not conflict with Chiang Kai-shek head-on, but focused all his energy on fighting the Japanese invaders.
Especially since 1938, Yu Xuezhong¡¯s headquarters has been used as the absolute main force by the Fifth War Zone.
In January 1938, Yu Xuezhong¡¯s 51st Army was ordered to defend the Huaihe River. Before the battle, his subordinates asked Yu Xuezhong for instructions as usual: "Do you want to fight or not?"
Yu Xuezhong said: "Now it is okay to fight the Japanese army without fighting? Can we still be worthy of the Chinese people if we don't fight? Can we still stand in China?"
After learning that the important position Jiajiabu was defended by his uncle and brother Yu Xuedao, although the two brothers had a close relationship and had lived together in the army for decades, when they went to the battlefield and faced the national enemy, Yu Xuezhong On the phone, he told division commander Mou Zhongheng: "Tell Yu Xuedao that if you can't regain the position, I will shoot him as well."
This sentence caused a strong response in the army and greatly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers. In this battle, although Yu Xuedao was seriously injured, he still stood firm and killed the enemy bravely.
With about 25,000 troops from two divisions, Yu Xuezhong defended Xiaobengbu, fought a bloody battle at Linhuaiguan, and withstood the crazy attack of three Japanese divisions totaling 40,000 people.
Deputy Army Commander Han Bowen said to Xuezhong: "You are the commander-in-chief of the group army, you don't have to stay on the front line."
Yu Xuezhong replied: "I am here at the position and can boost morale!"
During the eight consecutive days of defense, the 51st Army suffered 7,000 casualties, but they held the Huaihe River and the Japanese suffered more than 9,000 casualties.
The Battle of Huaihe River greatly shocked the reputation of Yu Xuezhong and his 51st Army. At that time, Chinese and foreign media called the 51st Army the "Great Wall of Flesh and Blood", and Yu Xuezhong was hailed as the "Great General".
Among the first-level generals of the Kuomintang, only Yu Xuezhong was seriously injured four times on the anti-Japanese front line. This also won him the respect of soldiers and civilians across the country. The Japanese army both hated him and feared him like a tiger.
During the Battle of Taierzhuang, Yu Xuezhong was ordered to lead a tired division to reinforce Taierzhuang and served as deputy commander-in-chief of the Central Corps. He led his troops to outwit Hanzhuang, hold on to the defensive line, compete for Jiajiabu, and fight in the bloody battle of Yuwang Mountain.
When Xuzhou retreated, Yu Xuezhong served as deputy commander-in-chief of the Lunan Corps and led his troops in charge of the rear. The requirement of the theater was to persist until May 20, but the 51st Army did not withdraw even a minute early.
After holding on until 8 pm on the 20th, Yu Xuezhong led his troops to begin to evacuate. At this time, all roads were blocked. Yu Xuezhong's troops were cut into several sections by the enemy and surrounded.
After that, the troops dispersed, chose their own routes, concentrated in Queshan and Xinyang respectively, and miraculously gathered in Minggang, Henan.
There were nearly 20,000 soldiers in the army when they set off from the Huaihe River, and there were still 15,000 people when they returned. Except for the victims, no one was left without permission, and there were even officers and soldiers from other units who came to seek refuge.
After that, Yu Xuezhong led the troops to participate in the Wuhan Defense War.
The Wuhan Defense War was the battle with the longest front, the largest scale, the longest duration, and great significance since the Anti-Japanese War. The Kuomintang army is divided into three corps: left, center and right. Yu Xuezhong serves as the deputy commander-in-chief and acting commander-in-chief of the left-wing corps. He commands 2 group armies, 2 legions, 6 corps, 13 divisions and some directly affiliated troops to participate in the war. In the north of the Dabie Mountains Lu fought very resolutely.
It was precisely because of this illustrious military exploits that Lao Jiang had to look at Xuezhong and the iron-blooded troops under his command in a different light.
Although Yu Xuezhong¡¯s troops have arrived in Shandong, so far they have only visited Yinan County once, and they have not yet arrived in Shandong.They have not yet gained a firm foothold, and the people in Shandong do not recognize them because of the previous defeat of the national army, so they need a hearty victory to stabilize the morale of the army and win the hearts of the people!
As an important town in southern Shandong, Linyi has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Its strategic position is no worse than Zaozhuang and Xuzhou. As long as they can capture Linyi City, the entire southern Shandong will be shocked.
"Compared to the Sulu Theater, Li Guoyao's troops needed a force to attract the firepower of the Japanese army and support their actions from the side.
This is just one of them, the more important thing is that after they capture Xuzhou, Li Guoyao still needs a force to attract attention at home and abroad.
It is not a big problem for the department to capture Xuzhou, but Li Guoyao has been thinking about what to do after capturing Xuzhou?
Xuzhou¡¯s geographical location and its importance can be said to be a battleground for military strategists!
What is a battleground for military strategists?
The so-called "strategic battleground" refers to a place where both sides will compete with each other. This place must be a place with steep natural terrain, and the terrain is suitable for defense or offense.
In fact, there is no specific battleground for military strategists. If necessary, any place can become a battleground for military strategists. On the contrary, if there is no need for war, or it is not in the border area between the two sides, then this place will be like "a useless place." ",like water off a duck's back.
Therefore, throughout the ages, only a few cities have become battlegrounds for military strategists and have left their mark in history. So whether you can have this qualification depends on the current political and social environment.
Looking at Xuzhou again, why is this small city so important and can become the so-called battleground for military strategists!
According to historical records, there were more than 400 wars that took place in Xuzhou, and this does not include those that have not been recorded.
The most recent one that took place in Xuzhou was the Battle of Xuzhou in May last year, with a total of one million people participating in the battle. This battle can be said to be one of the most influential battles in the early stages of the Anti-Japanese War. Unfortunately, the National Army finally It ended with the active evacuation of Xuzhou.
And these are not the only wars that happened in Xuzhou. According to some statistics, on average, Xuzhou has to fight a war every ten years or so. You can imagine how important Xuzhou's strategic position is.
Xuzhou has always been at the junction of the north and the south. It is at the center of Beijing and Nanjing and serves as a barrier to protect the important tax town in southern Jiangsu. It can be said that the prosperity of southern Jiangsu is inseparable from the barrier function of Xuzhou.
It is guarded at the transportation hub. It can control the North China Plain to the north, attack the south of the Yangtze River to the south, enter the hinterland of the Central Plains to the west, and have a seaport as a retreat to the east. Moreover, although Xuzhou belongs to the North China Plain, it is surrounded by mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, sometimes the Yellow River often changes its course and flows through Xuzhou, which is protected by the natural dangers of the Yellow River.
Looking again, Xuzhou is the only place where large armies can fight from south to north or from north to south without any obstacles. If we fight from north to south and capture Xuzhou, the door to Yangzhou will be wide open. If Yangzhou cannot be defended, Nanjing will be in danger.
On the contrary, fighting from south to north, as long as Xuzhou is captured, the entire Central Plains will be spread out like a big chessboard.
Historically, during the Warring States Period, Xuzhou was the dividing point between Chu, Qi and the Three Jin Dynasties. During the Three Kingdoms period, Xuzhou had always been a stalemate between Cao Wei and Soochow. The Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty also stalemate in Xuzhou. These examples fully illustrate the importance of Xuzhou.
Xuzhou¡¯s status is not a question of offense or defense. The key is that I can¡¯t get it, and neither can the enemy. This is a place that I can not let you get but I can never let you get it, so many wars are fought around Xuzhou.
Despite this, Xuzhou has always been easy to attack and difficult to defend because it is located in a plain area with no danger to defend.
For this battle, Li Guoyao is determined to win!
But because Xuzhou¡¯s geographical location is so important, once it is captured, its influence will be far greater than that of Linyi, and it will inevitably attract the attention of China and Japan.
Under this circumstance, Li Guoyao's troops will undoubtedly be exposed to the spotlight, and even the Jiangnan guerrillas will also be exposed.
So Li Guoyao thought of Yu Xuezhong. Lao Yu was already a famous general in the Anti-Japanese War. Both his qualifications and strength were worthy of any record. He was the most suitable to use it to top the tank.
As for the unknown Li Guoyao, he doesn¡¯t care, he only wants tangible benefits!
Therefore, the blame has been laid on Yu Xuezhong! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
