Chapter 10 Rabbit and Rabbit

The situation in Guangxi was not good, and Chairman Jiang was furious and went to Liuzhou to supervise the battle.

Before boarding the plane, he repeatedly told Chen Cheng that it was related to the future of the War of Resistance. Chen Jizu's troops had no mistakes in the uprising. If necessary, he could take over the command of the 2nd Guerrilla Zone of the Third War Zone and take them out at all costs.

For Wang Jingwei, Master Chen, Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng were three bombs. Even if Chairman Jiang did not give any advice, Chen Cheng would not dare to slack off. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, even He Yingqin was kept in the dark, let alone the Military Control Commission and the Central Commission.

It is also a top secret for Chen Hongzhen to arrive in Yu. Since he was the only one who had never left the house since he returned to Liang Mansion from Huangshan the day before yesterday, the Liang Mansion has become the command center of the "little chairman". He will come to listen to Liang Yugao's report on time every night at 6 o'clock every night.

"Mr. Chen, are you still used to living these two days? Yugao is not an outsider. Please mention anything you need."

Fifteen minutes before the radio boots, Chen Cheng took the juniors' greetings and asked about his warmth. Chen Hongzhen held the crutch and laughed: "Master Chen is concerned about it, he lives very comfortably, and Yugao takes care of him very thoughtfully. He really feels at home."

"That's good, that's good," Chen Cheng changed his tone and said with regret: "I don't know if you always read today's newspapers. The South China Condolences Group is about to be completed. The Overseas Chinese Committee, Overseas and Political Department are very busy with this, but you always live in such a simple place. I feel sorry for it if you think about it."

The Nanyang Condolences Group was initiated by the famous overseas Chinese leader Chen Jiageng. It called on the Nanyang, Britain, the Netherlands, the United States and France to form a group of overseas Chinese relief agencies, and sent representatives to return to China to comfort them. It also planned to hand over the 3.2 million yuan donation that had just been raised to the National Government. As soon as the notice was issued, it received a warm response from all walks of life in Chongqing.

Fujian Company has no interest in politics and has only cared about its own interests for more than a century. If it weren't for the trouble of Master Chen and the danger of being uprooted by a century-old foundation, Chen Hongzhen wouldn't have invested so much money.

Unlike their overseas Chinese leaders who do serious business, they prefer to act low-key. Even if they don’t have the same young master Chen, the Fujian company would not join in the fun. Besides, Chen Hongzhen was over 70 years old and had long regarded these things indifferently, so he waved his hand openly, "Sir Chen has been away. Although we have lived overseas for a long time, we are descendants of Yan and Huang in the end. Now that the country is in trouble, it is worth paying money and efforts, and it is not worth mentioning."

The Ministry of Finance only allocated 2 million yuan to build the Chinese section of the Yunnan-Burma Highway. They also donated more than 2 million yuan, which is not worth mentioning. Chen Cheng was moved and put down his teacup and sighed: "I think Chen Bijun is also from Penang Island, but he helps the evil and is willing to be accomplice. It is really heartbreaking."

"Jun's post," as he was speaking, Liang Yugao walked in with a serious expression, "Chen's army urgently sent a telegram, the Japanese army's ** mixed with part of the 11th Brigade, one of the 15th and 17th Divisions, with a total of more than 4,000 people. They will launch an attack on the troops of the 2nd Guerrilla Zone of our army from the East and North at noon tomorrow. The combat orders have been issued, and the attacking troops are entering the designated locations one after another."

Leng Xin assembled the troops to support the attack on Datong and Guichi Central Corps, the third war zone on the front line, and the left and right wing corps attacked eastward, Hukou, Wuhu and Datong, respectively, tried to surround Wei and save Zhao and reduce the pressure on the front battlefield. Unexpectedly, the Japanese were led over before the assembly was completed.

Chen Cheng realized the seriousness of the problem and walked towards the desk where the map was spread out, and ordered firmly: "Send a report to Chief Gu immediately and ask him to adjust the deployment quickly. You must not fight against the Japanese at this time."

"It's too late," Liang Yugao shook his head, "The 13th Army Command has ordered the first regiment of Chen's army, the first regiment of Qiuying, Xieying and the first regiment of the second regiment to go to the niu respectively, Hugang and Ma resist on the front line to defend. Even if the 40th, 52th, 63rd Divisions and the 33rd Brigade of the Second Guerrilla Area withdrew from Wunan, the Japanese army will carry out a sweep of the area."

The first step is to sweep the storm. After sweeping, it is necessary to send troops to stay. This means that Mr. Chen’s little family background may be broken up and lose his autonomy like Ren Yuandao’s appeasement army. Thinking of the heavy Japanese soldiers gathering, and now acting is like seeking death, Chen Cheng immediately took a breath.

Chen Hongzhen didn't know what Master Chen said was well-trained and well-equipped. However, compared with ordinary puppet troops or miscellaneous troops, he suddenly broke out, "Isn't there only more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers, the brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road, just fight!"

"It's not as simple as you always think."

Chen Cheng sighed a long sigh, smiled helplessly and said with a bitter smile: "The 40th, 52th, 63rd Division and the 33rd Independent Brigade have been behind enemy lines for a long time. They have old equipment and insufficient ammunition, and are even unsatisfied with the organization. At most, they can only withstand the Japanese attack and are unable to handle the nephew."

After all the trouble, the Chen family army was still not included.

Chen Hongzhen felt very uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked: "Nephew, what does Jizu think?"

What shocked Chen Cheng was that Liang Yugao actually whispered: "It is not a solution to drag it down any further. It is recommended that General Leng's troops stay on the Huangli to Dong'an for three days, and wait for him to complete the final deployment and then cooperate with the inside and outside to encircle and annihilate the enemy on the northern line, including the 11th Brigade."

Leading Gaoqiao between Qinghu and Changdanghu, a seal at the north and south ends did form a siege. However, the battlefield was too close to the Beijing-Shanghai line, and the Japanese could get reinforcements from Nanjing and Wuxi at any time. Chen Cheng shook his head, "While siegeing the enemy, it is also easy to be surrounded by the enemy. If you are not careful, you will be wiped out. This plan is too risky."

"Zhou Jun, Chen has taken this into consideration."

Liang Yugao didn't want to miss this opportunity to let the Chinese in Nanyang show their faces. He pointed to the map and introduced: "The Chen army's plan is very detailed. The reason why he asked Chief Leng to stay for three days was not to use this to wipe out the sharpness of Takahashi, but to use these three days of precious time to calmly arrange support and wait for someone."

"who?"

"Ichigaki Seishiro."

Chen Cheng was confused and blurted out: "What does it mean?"

"Brave Commander Chen has received reliable information. Itagaki is going to Shanghai to meet with Wang Ni in the past two days. Wujin's defenders were not many, and now half of them are transferred to Wunan to "sweep". This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Chen's troops who are guarding the Beijing-Shanghai line."

"real?"

"That's what the telegram says."

Looking at his skeptical look, Liang Yugao added, "Junzu, from the battle to encircle and annihilate Zhang Shaohua's troops, it can be seen that Chen's troops are well-trained and not to be famous. What's more, the officers and soldiers of the troops are either veterans who have been through the battlefield or former members of the Dadao Association who are familiar with the environment, and they occupy the right time, place, and people."

It is rare to say that it is not moved. But when the Leng tribe wants to withstand the strong attack of the enemy on the northern line and draw out a force to block the enemy on the eastern line, the casualties will definitely be small, and Chen Cheng can never make up this decision.

It's been when, and I'm still hesitating.

Chen Hong was really anxious and could not interfere in other people's military affairs. He could only say meaningfully: "What a good person who beats a rabbit, he didn't lose my face as Chen's Yingchuan Hall."

Chen Cheng could not hear what he meant. He weighed the pros and consented again and resolutely ordered: "Yugao, call Chen's troops back, agree to his combat plan, and keep in touch with him. I will go to the attendant's room now and call there if I have any questions."

"Yes, Jun!"

An hour later, Leng Xin, who had just held an operational meeting with Deputy Commander Liu Jianming and Chief of Staff Lu Bochuan, received emergency telegrams from Chairman Jiang, Chen Cheng and Commander-in-Chief of the Third War Zone Gu Zhutong.

The contents are similar, they are all required to hold on for three days. The Chief of Staff looked ashen and put down the telegram and said worriedly: "Commander, the Commissioner is putting us on the fire."

Just last month, Chairman Chiang ordered the establishment of the Jiangnan Advancement Second Column, appointing Leng Xin as the commander of the column and the commander of the 63rd Division, and the director of the Jiangnan Administrative Office. The jurisdiction ranges from Taihu Lake in the east, the west, and the north to the Yangtze River, including southern Jiangsu, most areas of southern Anhui, as well as the Changxing area in Zhejiang.

The military and political forces are in charge and the power of the provincial government is in charge. The power is of great importance.

However, for Leng Xin, this series of official titles was nothing. He was a student of Huangpu and the main backbone of the Sun Yat-sen Society. He gained the trust of Chiang in the 16th year of the Republic of China. Ning Han merged with each other and when the chairman stepped down, he handed over the power of expenditure to him.

The moon has phases and waxing, and the sky has unexpected storms.

Since then, he has fallen out of favor in a confused manner and was not promoted to major general until the July 7 Incident. During the Battle of Wuhan, his 52nd Division was defeated again. If it weren't for He Yingqin's care and the third war zone commander Gu Zhutong, who was the fellow townsman, would have been training new recruits in Jiangshan, Zhejiang now.

Because of this, he did not dare to fight as timidly as other "yellow jackets" in the same period. He took the message and looked at it again, and said coldly: "Soldiers take obeying orders as their duty, and execute orders."
