Under Li Guoyao¡¯s order, the troops of the Ninth Army quickly began to assemble, and then quietly crossed Weishan Lake late at night on May 2 and entered the southwestern region of Shandong!
Then, with the support of Wen Debiao's command, the troops headed north, heading straight to southern Hebei!
At the same time, the First Column, the Second Column and the infantry regiments of the Haicheng Detachment were urgently transferred from various places to Xiong'er Mountain to make up for the vacancies!
At the same time as these troops were mobilized, the Jiangnan Guerrilla Headquarters in central Anhui also received a secret transfer order from Li Guoyao. The main force of the unit was mobilized from the west to the north. In the future, the combat area will be mainly the area north of Bengbu, and the defense area will be connected to Lu Wenlong's headquarters. .
In addition, Huang Dazi, who was far away in the Dabie Mountains, also received Li Guoyao's order. The main force of the unit immediately assembled. The old, weak, women and children stayed behind in Huanghuazhai, and the young and strong troops rushed to the battlefield in Shandong immediately.
If Li Guoyao was hiding his strength and biding his time before, now he has consciously begun to gather troops!
¡°Because Li Guoyao knows that in the next six months, the situation at home and abroad will undergo major changes, and he does not need to be as cautious as before.
It¡¯s cool to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but it¡¯s not that cool to be teased all the time. You have to show off your muscles when it¡¯s time!
It is said that the Japanese army's frequent troop mobilization naturally attracted the attention of the Military Command Bureau, and soon the relevant information was sent to Chairman Chiang's desk!
Knowing that the Japanese army seemed to be preparing to use troops against southern Shanxi, Chiang Kai-shek immediately recalled the reminder from the Soviet adviser not long ago. As early as half a month ago, General Chuikov told the Minister of Economic Affairs Weng Wenhao that China "should guard against (the Japanese army) invading Kunming and Shaanxi at the same time." And attack".
Chuikov¡¯s inference did not attract the attention of Chongqing at the time. At that time, the attention of all military and political officials, including Chiang Kai-shek, was attracted by the signing of the Japan-Soviet Neutrality Treaty.
But now it seems that Chuikov¡¯s inference is correct. The Japanese army may indeed attack Shaanxi, and Zhongtiao Mountain will bear the brunt.
At this moment, Lao Jiang immediately ordered people to call the four giants of the military and political departments of the Nationalist Government to inquire about the situation on the front line.
When Chiang Kai-shek asked about the situation on the battlefield in Shanxi, Xu Yongchang, the Minister of Military Command, replied: "The news of enemy reinforcements in southern Shanxi and northern Henan is almost gone every day, and its momentum is so strong that a storm is coming. , it seems that the enemy must take Luoyang and Xi'an, Luoyang judged this, and the intelligence also confirmed this."
The answer from Military Training Minister Bai Chongxi was: "It seems that the enemy in southern Shanxi will seize our Zhongtiao Mountain in an attempt to completely wipe out our troops on the left bank of the Yellow River, and then invade Luoyang and Tongguan to threaten the flanks of our fifth theater or peek westward. Chang'an."
In addition, Political Minister Chen Cheng also made the same observation, believing that the Japanese army's massive increase in troops on the Shanxi battlefield seemed to be an attack on southern Shanxi.
For this reason, this group of senior generals in Chongqing immediately discussed countermeasures, and then based on the guiding principles of "conserving key areas, striving to last for a long time, establishing internal security, and seeking foreign aid", they determined to "strengthen the fortifications at Zhongtiao Mountain and Tongluo, and actively train ¡± strategic principles.
According to a telegram sent by the 1st Theater Command not long ago, the 1st Theater Command commanded a total of 8 armies at that time.
The troops south of the Yellow River, including Sun Tongxuan's 3rd Group Army, are stationed in Zhengzhou and Gong County to the west and Xinzheng Xiangnan area to guard the enemy's 35th Division in Zhongmou, Kaifeng and Wen County north of the Yellow River.
Sun Weiru¡¯s 4th Group Army is stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River in Xin¡¯an, west of Gong County and Luoyang.
On the south bank of the Yellow River from the west of Xin'an to Tongguan, Li Jiayu's 36th Group Army is stationed.
Sun Lianzhong¡¯s 2nd Group Army is stationed in the area north of Xinyang to Zhumadian.
In the Nanyang and Ye County areas, Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army is stationed. However, because this group army is better equipped and has a larger number of personnel, it is used in the 1st and 5th theaters on a mobile basis and is not solely under the command of the 1st theater. .
At present, the troops of the 1st Theater in southern Shanxi include 3 group armies and 3 corps, which are stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi north of the Yellow River and Taihang Mountain in southeastern Shanxi.
In the west of the Zhongtiao Mountains, from the east of Maojindu in Pinglu County to the north of the Yuanqu line, Zeng Wanzhong's 5th Army and Kong Lingxun's 80th Army were stationed.
Liu Maoen¡¯s 14th Army and Pei Changhui¡¯s 9th Army are stationed north of the line from Yuanqu to Jiaying and Nanzhuang east of Mengxian County.
Pang Bingxun¡¯s 24th Army is stationed in Lin County of Henan Province and Shexian County of Hebei Province east of the Taihang Mountains, while Fan Hanjie¡¯s 27th Army is stationed in Lingchuan County southeast of Changzhi.
Although it seems that there are many troops, the actual situation is not very ideal. The main reason is that the troops on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain are all miscellaneous troops.
These units are clearly group armies or corps-level establishments, butIn fact, all the troops have serious shortages, and the Zhongtiao Mountain area is poor and not a grain-producing area. The garrison of hundreds of thousands of troops has caused a huge burden on the local people.
Even so, there are still many troops who do not have enough to eat. Most of the troops can only get their supplies on hand, and there is very little food in stock.
In order to have enough to eat, many troops had to eat empty pay, or organize troops to do business, so the entire Zhongtiao Mountain was full of chaos.
That¡¯s all. The most worrying thing is that the war is about to begin, but the commander-in-chief of the first theater is not in Henan. This is not a good sign.
The reason was that Wei Lihuang, the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone at the time, was ostracized by Hu Zongnan and others because he refused to resist the friction. He did not forgive Chiang. He went to Chongqing not long ago to report on his duties and was placed under house arrest in Mount Emei. The person in charge of the work in the war zone is Minister He of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
More importantly, Sun Weiru, who has been the main anti-Japanese force in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, has also been transferred!
The coach is not here, and neither is the main force of the defenders. How can we fight this battle?
At the moment, Chen Cheng and Xu Yongchang suggested that Chiang Kai-shek first send Wei Lihuang back to the first theater to take charge of the overall situation. It would be best to transfer Sun Weiru's Fourth Army back to Zhongtiao Mountain.
But unfortunately, this suggestion was rejected by Chiang Kai-shek!
Subsequently, Chiang secretly ordered He Yingqin, who was far away in Luoyang, to take charge of frontline affairs in response to the Japanese attack.
Based on the situation on the front line, the Military Command Department in Chongqing studied the following three plans for fighting in southern Shanxi based on the situation of the enemy and ourselves, the operational policy, the military geography, etc., and handed them over to the First Theater District for reference.
Plan 1: The main force retreats to the south bank of the Yellow River to consolidate river defense.
Option 2: Take advantage of the enemy's concentration before the enemy's concentration is complete to defeat the enemy's offensive.
? Option 3: Adopt mobile tactics and change internal lines to external operations
Dividing line
After receiving the secret order from Chongqing, He Yingqin immediately presided over two consecutive military meetings at the headquarters of the First Theater Command in Luoyang, attended by the commanders of the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Theater Commands.
Based on the intelligence provided by all parties, He Yingqin judged: "The enemies in southern Shanxi seem to be seizing our strongholds in Zhongtiao Mountain one after another in an attempt to completely clear out our troops on the north bank of the Yellow River, and then coordinate with the enemies in eastern Henan to advance into Luoyang and Tongguan. To threaten the flanks of our five theaters, or to peek westward into Xi'an."
Instruction: "In order to secure Zhongtiao Mountain, the 93rd Army should move one unit from north to south, and the 27th Army from east to west, and join forces with the right wing units of our Zhongtiao Mountain position to attack the Gaoping, Jincheng, Yangcheng, and Qinshuijian areas. In order to restore the situation before April of the 29th year of the Republic of China."
"At the same time, work together with the Western Shanxi Army and the Second and Eighth War Zones to surround the enemies in the three corners of southern Shanxi and annihilate them. At the very least, Zhongtiao Mountain must be secured."
Subsequently, the commander of the First War Zone further judged that the Japanese army was planning to invade Yuanqu from Jiyuan and Henggao avenues, and immediately ordered the frontline troops to strengthen the position fortifications, destroy and block the road in front of the main position, and preemptively attack to break the enemy's offensive.
Under the guidance of the above judgment, the seven main armies of the national army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area were deployed accordingly:
The headquarters of the 9th Army Pei Chang is in Jiyuan, an important town in northern Henan!
The 43rd Army Zhao Shiling¡¯s troops are at Yuanqu at the southwestern end of Shanxi!
The 17th Army Gao Guizi's headquarters is in the Jiangxian area!
The Tang Huaiyuan Department of the 3rd Army and the Kong Lingxun Department of the 80th Army are in the Wenxi and Xia County areas, the Warrior Min Department of the 98th Army under Feng Qinzai is in the Dongfeng Town area, and the Wutinglin Department of the 15th Army is in the Gaoping area.
Another four armies were deployed in the Taihang and Taiyue areas as support.
He Yingqin's instructions actually negated the first plan of retreat to the south of the Yellow River and determined to stick to the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
Subsequently, based on the concentration of Japanese troops in southern Shanxi Province, the Military Command believed that the enemy's intention to attack Yuanqu on the bank of the Yellow River from Qinyang and Jiyuan in the east of Zhongtiao Mountain and Hengling Pass and Gaoluo in the north was obvious.
Therefore, it was decided to first break the Japanese offensive on the east and west routes. On May 2, the 1st War Zone was ordered: send one army to Gaoping and Boai on the east route, and another army to Wenxi, Houma, and Houma to the west. Xia County took the offensive to defeat the enemy's attack.
Another order: the troops from western Shanxi in the 2nd war zone will attack Tongpu Road, and the troops in the 5th war zone east of Huangbo District will launch an attack on Longhai Road to contain the enemies in front of them.
