Wei Lihuang's expression condensed and he said in a deep voice: "But what?"
Guo Jiqiao spread his hands and said: "But if the offensive of the Chahar Independent Regiment is blocked, then the Japanese from Peking, Baoding, Taiyuan and even Zhangjiakou will come out in full force to launch a centripetal attack on the Chahar Independent Regiment that is stuck in the mud. Attack, if this situation really happens, even if Xu Rui has great power, I'm afraid he won't be able to last for long. x23us.com is the fastest updated."
Wei Lihuang nodded and said solemnly: "You are right. The Chahar Independent Regiment at this time is like a small but extremely fast bison. If it can maintain the momentum of sprinting at high speed, The lethality is still very impressive, but once it slows down and loses its speed advantage, it will immediately be torn into pieces by the swarming hyenas!"
Guo Jiqiao continued: "At that time, you would have to vomit out everything you had eaten before sex, and you would even lose all your money." After a pause, he added, "So Mr. Boss, don't look at it now The situation in ** is very good, but in fact there are huge risks hidden in the middle! And I think the probability of the risks erupting is extremely high!"
Wei Lihuang snorted and said: "I don't care how long this wave of offensive by the Chahar Independent Regiment can last? I don't care what the final result of the counterattack will be? But as a Chinese, as a veteran of the National Army , with Xu Rui’s pure heart of fighting for the country, I have to help out no matter what!”
Guo Jiqiao's expression changed slightly and he said: "General, the committee has issued strict orders. During the large-scale attack by the Chahar Independent Regiment, you must not attack without authorization, so..."
"The commissioner does not understand the situation in North China." Wei Lihuang interrupted Guo Jiqiao without any explanation, and said, "What's more, the general was not satisfied with the emperor's order, so he immediately ordered the 15th Army to go north to hear the news and head towards Linfen. Attack and advance, and then order the 27th Army to go east out of Qinshuiyang City, attack and advance towards Jincheng and Changzhi, and the 9th Army to assemble and stand by immediately."
Guo Jiqiao was stunned and said: "Chief, isn't this bad?"
Wei Lihuang couldn't help but said: "Execute the order."
Guo Jiqiao immediately said nothing more.
…
In Peking, North China Front Army Headquarters.
Yukio Kasahara said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, the first part of the 8th independent mixed brigade and the main force of the 15th independent mixed brigade have arrived in Yixian County, which is only fifty miles away from Bauhinia Pass, but the main force of the Chahar independent group is still blocked. In Lingqiu County, it is at least two hundred miles away from Zijingguan, and there is also Laiyuan County in the middle."
Ananwei nodded and said, "In other words, the imperial army still has a chance."
"Hai!" Kasahara Yukio said after a pause, "As long as the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade can retake the Bauhinia Pass first, they can use the natural barrier of Bauhinia Pass to block the Chahar Independent Regiment to the west of the Taihang Mountains. , within ten days, the Chahar Independent Regiment will be in a dilemma of running out of ammunition and food. By then the imperial army will launch a massive counterattack, and there will be a great chance to annihilate Xu Rui's Chahar Independent Regiment in Puyinjing. middle."
Anan Weiji nodded happily.
…
Chongqing, **Command Headquarters.
Chairman Chiang and several close aides have become ants on a hot pot.
Ever since the Chahar Independent Regiment launched its attack yesterday, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and several of his close aides have not thought about food or food, and have not even thought about sleeping. They have been staying in the operations hall of the headquarters all night. Even though I have panda eyes, I still refuse to go home. Now I really don’t even think about anything with a woman.
Due to the lack and lag of intelligence sources, Chairman Chiang and several close aides are often unable to obtain first-hand information in a timely manner. This makes Chairman Chiang and several aides extremely anxious. For example, now, due to the delay in the investigation The three of them became anxious ants on the hot pot after hearing the latest news from the Seoul Independence Group.
Chairman Chiang and the three of them are even more concerned about the success or failure of this counterattack than the Chahar Independent Group and Xu Rui.
Of course, Chairman Chiang and several aides sincerely hoped that Xu Rui would lose the battle.
When they saw Director Dai walking in from outside, Chen Cheng and He Yingqin immediately stopped talking.
Chairman Chiang, who had been closing his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes. Although he didn't ask, the look in his eyes and the expression on his face had already revealed Chairman Chiang's mood.
At this time, Director Dai did not dare to show any concern. As soon as he came in, he reported: "Commissioner, I just received a telegram from Peking Station saying that they have sent a special team to Zijingguan and brought a radio station with them. If there is an accident, this special team should have arrived near Zijingguan by now, and I believe there will be news back soon."
Chen Cheng immediately said with great disappointment: "After waiting for a long time, you still don't know anything."
He Yingqin said: "Brother Yunong, you don't have intelligence stations in Laiyuan, Lingqiu, Yixian and other places?"
"There used to be an intelligence station in Laiyuan." Director Dai added with a look of embarrassment on his face, "But it was later destroyed by the Japanese military's secret service. Due to lack of funds, it has never been rebuilt."
Chairman Jiang's face immediately became embarrassed. Why is funding involved again
At that moment, Chairman Jiang changed the subject and said, "Where is Baotou? What's the news from Baotou?"
I don’t know why, but since the Chahar Independent Regiment launched a counterattack, the intelligence station in Baotou suddenly became active, transmitting news to Chongqing every few hours.
However, what is strange is that since dawn, no news has been sent back from the Baotou Intelligence Station.
Many years of experience in intelligence work tell Director Dai that the Baotou Intelligence Station or the nepotism is probably under the control of Xu Rui, and may even have rebelled. The information she sent back was approved by Xu Rui, and if Xu Rui didn't allow it. She couldn't even deliver irrelevant news.
Well, since dawn, there has been no news from Nepotism. There is probably a hidden fact in the middle, that is, the offensive of the Chahar Independent Regiment has encountered obstacles! Otherwise, according to the pace of advancement of the Chahar Independent Regiment, after Hunyuan County, Lingqiu County should have been captured long ago.
"No." Director Dai shook his head and said, "However, I suspect that the Chahar Independent Regiment's offensive has encountered obstacles."
"Really? Yunong, tell me, what's the obstacle?" Chairman Jiang immediately became energetic when he heard this. If the Chahar Independent Group really encountered obstacles, that would be great.
Director Dai calmed down his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "According to the previous rhythm, the Chahar Independent Regiment will be able to capture a county every three hours on average, first Youyu County, then Zuoyun County, and then Datong, and then Hunyuan County, but since the capture of Hunyuan County early this morning, ten hours have passed, but there is still no news of the recovery of Lingqiu, so I guess that the Chahar Independent Regiment The offensive has probably encountered obstacles!"
He Yingqin said with deep approval: "Brother Yunong, your speculation is very reasonable."
Chen Cheng said: "I also think that Brother Yunong's speculation is accurate. The Chahar Independent Regiment must be in trouble! But this is normal. If they are really unstoppable and push all the way to the outside of Beiping City, then That’s really weird, when did the Japanese army become so weak, right?”
At this time, a young man with a flat head wearing a Chinese tunic suit suddenly walked in and whispered a few words into Director Dai's ear.
Director Dai immediately moved his expression, walked over and said to Chairman Chiang: "Commissioner, the special team sent by Peking Station has arrived at Zijingguan and has sent back the first intelligence."
"Really?" Chairman Chiang asked, "How is the situation at Zijingguan?"
Next to him, Chief Chen, Chief He and Vice Chief Bai suddenly slapped him in the face.
Director Dai replied: "The aviation force of the Chahar Independent Regiment just fought an air battle with the aviation force of the Japanese North China Front near Yi County, and the result was a complete victory for the Chahar Independent Regiment."
"Damn it!" Chen Cheng was so angry that he slapped the table, "Why is this happening?"
Chairman Jiang frowned unconsciously and asked again: "What next?"
Director Dai shook his head and said, "Then it disappeared. No new information has been sent back."
"Got it." Chairman Jiang waved his hand to signal Director Dai to exit, then turned to look at Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi, and asked, "Tell me, what will the situation be like?"
Chen Cheng and He Yingqin unanimously turned their attention to Bai Chongxi, who had been silent.
Having learned from previous lessons, Director Chen and Director He no longer dare to make any judgments easily. Otherwise, being slapped in the face by Xu Rui would be too painful. The most important thing is that it would also damage the image of their wise and powerful commanders. Do you think so? Bar? Therefore, they gave up this glorious mission to Vice President Bai.
Bai Chongxi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Brother Yunong's analysis just now is still very reasonable. The offensive of the Chahar Independent Regiment has been hindered. This is for sure!
After a pause, Bai Chongxi continued: "But even Datong only lasted less than four hours, how long can a mere Lingqiu County last? So my estimate is that Lingqiu will definitely be recovered before dark today, and then Before midnight, Laiyuan County will be recovered one after another, and by dawn tomorrow, the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment will advance to Zijingguan."
Chairman Chiang turned his head and glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall, and found that the hour hand pointed to one and a quarter in the afternoon. There were still about eighteen hours until dawn tomorrow. In other words, if the Japanese army could not defeat them within eighteen hours, To recapture Zijingguan, it will be inevitable for the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment to leave Zijingguan eastward.
Thinking of this, Chairman Chiang became a little dazed.
At this time, Chen Cheng said quietly: "I think the Chahar Independent Regiment will not be able to leave Zijingguan, let alone reach Peiping, for sure."
