    Chapter 475 Chen Shuangxi¡¯s unexpected discovery

    The North China battle plan was the result of long-term planning by Zai Ren and Kozuki Kiyoshi. Abe returned from the Northeast empty-handed, allowing Tang Qiuli to borrow his wings. Not only did he safely relocate his family and fellow villagers, but he also left behind an elusive and capable small force.  , it was this army that turned Manchuria upside down, people were in panic, and every plant and tree was in arms.

    After Abe San came back, Prince Zai Ren did not give him a good look and directly sent him to the cold palace. As the saying goes, "The winner is the prince and the loser is the thief." The defeated general is not brave enough, so how can he be reused? Let him reflect on it. At the same time, he also  Receiving a telegram of complaint from Kwantung Army Commander Nanjiro made Zai Ren extremely angry. This arrogant guy was talking about getting the greatest victory at the smallest cost, bullshit!  Zain thought angrily.

    It took more than one million imperial troops in North China to work for a month, and precious time was lost. Shortcuts will not work, so let's use strength to speak in a down-to-earth manner. Without the aviation force, the army will still have to carve out a world in North China.  Zai Ren's plan was both sinister and practical. He also saw Tang Qiuli's weakness of insufficient troops. Otherwise, with Tang Qiuli's character, he would not have allowed the imperial army to occupy Baoding, the hub of southern Hebei.  Pingjin fought like fireworks.

    Zai Ren's eyes were indeed sophisticated, and he immediately caught Tang Qiu Li's weakness. To be honest, except for Tang Qiu Li's troops, Zai Ren felt chilled, because he was afraid of being beaten, so he adopted a heavy-duty group to gather together  The only way was to prevent Tang Qiuli from finding a flaw and not being able to take action. Other Chinese troops, including the Central Army, did not pay attention to him.

    As for his troop deployment, he was obviously leaning towards the style of play advocated by the Army, putting most of his troops in the direction of attacking Shanxi. In Zhangjiakou, a grassland city on the Bashang alone, he assembled 200,000 troops to capture Shanxi. As Zai Ren watched,  In the future, it has important strategic significance. It can attack Henan and Hubei southward, and attack Shandong, Jiangsu and other places eastward.

    After Prince Zaihito, Chief of the General Staff, announced Emperor Hirohito's overall strategic deployment, the senior Japanese generals were impressed by His Majesty's grand strategy. They all stood up and saluted the Emperor deeply to express their respect.  In terms of mood, Emperor Hirohito still looked calm, but he was very proud of himself. These brave warriors finally knew why they were his subjects, right?

    After these senior generals expressed their sincere respect, Emperor Hirohito seemed very tired. He was probably overly excited last night and consumed too much energy on the belly of the harem concubines. He said in a calm tone: "Now, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs  We are negotiating with the Chinese government. They will buy enough time and favorable weather for the army and navy. I hope you will not disappoint their good intentions and go ahead and prepare!" After that, Chang said!  yawned.

    The Japanese army base camp was busy sharpening its swords and was full of murderous intent. Tang Qiuli was not idle either. He analyzed the deployment situation of the Japanese army in North China. In this war, the Taihang Mountains and Shanxi will become the main battlefields in North China, and Liu Tiehan's Shandong direction will not  Relaxed, he felt that the top brass of the Japanese army seemed to have seen through his weakness, which was the lack of troops. The total number of direct troops under his direct command was less than 500,000, and they were scattered in all directions.

    With only 160,000 troops of the ** Division at hand, in the following wars, he could only avoid the enemy's edge and retreat into the Taihang Mountains and Shanxi Province, ceding southern and western Hebei to the Japanese army, and then make use of the vast mountainous areas and several  In the Taihang Mountain base area, which was operated in 2011, looking for opportunities to wipe out the enemy all the way, this requires Yan Xishan's Jin army to at least withstand the Japanese attack all the way.

    There is one more thing that must be done immediately, which is the Jingxing Mining Area near Shijiazhuang. That coal-producing area is located at the throat of Shanxi and Hebei Provinces. It is an important strategic material. Shijiazhuang has to give up. The Jingxing Mining Area cannot be located under any circumstances.  In the hands of the Japanese, it will increase the driving force for Japan's war.

    He asked Chief of Staff Li Honggang to handle this matter. In fact, after the troops were stationed in Shijiazhuang, Li Honggang paid attention to this largest mining area in Hebei Province, which is rich in high-quality coal. He transferred a group of commanders from the troops who were good at political work.  members, cooperated with the division's headquarters, stationed in the mining area, went deep into the miners' center, and publicized the division's anti-Japanese ideas.

    After a long period of work, the workers in the mining area have spontaneously organized and established autonomous organizations at all levels. Now, after receiving the order from the division commander, it only took him one day to return to the division headquarters.

    Tang Qiuli was greatly surprised. No matter how capable Li Honggang was, he couldn't settle down such a large mining area so quickly, right?  There were tens of thousands of workers in the Jingxing Mining Area. When they heard that a war was going to be fought here and that the Japanese soldiers were going to occupy the mining area, the people were furious and asked to join the army and fight the Japanese together.

    After careful screening, there were more than 28,000 qualified young workers who he had accepted on behalf of the army. The remaining miners were all paid severance pay and went to live with relatives and friends. A large number of them also brought their families., entering the Taihang Mountain Base Area and Dingbian Special Economic Zone.

    Now, the mining area has stopped production. There is a battalion of engineers who have buried a large number of coal mines everywhere. As long as an order is given, the Jingxing mining area will immediately turn into ruins. In addition, he also coordinated with Zhou Yushan's transportation headquarters to transfer the existing coal  and mining equipment, all transported to Huangyadong and Dingbian, leaving not a grain of coal or a single iron nail to the Japanese.

    Tang Qiuli was secretly stunned. Li Honggang also learned his tricks. He was more interested in the more than 28,000 miners who were going to join the army. These were poor people who had forged deep friendships through long-term work together. They  They understand each other and have a good sense of coordination and cooperation. These are the basic elements of forming a combat team. It is not good to separate them into that brigade.

    After wasting these rarest potential advantages, he thought carefully and decided to form a separate army of these miners, organized into two organized brigades, named the North China Army Workers' Anti-Japanese Brigade, and send them all to Dingbian for training.  If there is a war, Huangyadong will also become the front line of the battle. As for cadre deployment, it will be left to Li Honggang.

    After explaining these ideas to Li Honggang, Li Honggang was very excited. He knew the quality of these miners very well. The division commander really had a way, so he went to do this matter excitedly.

    The invisible but perceptible cloud of war is forming in North China and Japan, and is about to press on the suffering land of China. Another bloody life-and-death struggle is about to unfold in the fertile wilderness of North China and the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. However,  , how many people can see through the haze of history and see through this decisive battle that determines the fate of the nation?

    At dawn on November 5, 1937, the cold wave that had lasted for several days moved southward, and there was a chill in the air. The verdant south of the Yangtze River was still green, except for a few green leaves, and gold quietly climbed onto the leaves.  Occasionally, a few fallen leaves, dancing as light as butterflies, fall quietly at the feet of early risers, heralding the arrival of autumn colors in the south of the Yangtze River.

    This is an ordinary season. Every year, residents in Jiangnan have become accustomed to the change of seasons. At most, they sigh, it is autumn again, it is time to wear thick clothes, and then they go about their business.

    In Hangzhou Bay, the dawn was swallowed up by nature. The dreamlike mist in the past turned into a thick fog as thick as cotton wool. The air was filled with cold water vapor and could not be seen from a few steps away.  Human figures, people became blind, feeling that their chests were blocked by something, and they caught up with the rising tide. The sound of the tide lapping against the embankment was dull and powerful. In this kind of weather, it was impossible to go to sea at all. Everyone was resting peacefully.  .

    On the position of the air defense brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the ** Division, a short figure quietly slipped out of the tent. If he looked closely, he was a young soldier, only about ten years old. His lips were pressed tightly together, making him look very  Stubborn, his eyes looked around him alertly, showing such a clever energy.

    This soldier's name is Chen Shuangxi. He is a recruit who joined the army from the Dingbian Special Zone for less than half a year. After the training, because he had some knowledge, he was assigned to the air defense force as a trainee aimer. However, he has been here for several months and has not made any profit.  When the opportunity came for actual operation at the gun position, the squad leader said that these anti-aircraft guns from the United States were very valuable!

    If you break a part, you won't be able to pay for it even if you sell it. After a while, Chen Shuangxi will let the recruits do the actual operation. Chen Shuangxi feels itchy in his heart. He is greedy when he sees the veterans reporting various coordinate data skillfully.  I didn't have a chance to touch it. Yesterday, there was a training subject. I didn't quite understand it. He was a strong soldier, so I took it seriously and kept thinking about it.

    Taking advantage of the foggy weather, the sentry couldn't see him and sneaked to the gun position. He thought that only by doing it once could he figure out the problems he didn't understand. He turned on the "Sky Eye" gun sighting radar and "squeaked" power on.  The sound startled him, and he looked around hurriedly. The radar screen lit up, and he felt his heart beating violently.

    He memorized the operation essentials silently and carefully and slowly turned the steering gear. The long barrel rotated back and forth. The screen was filled with white flowers and nothing could be seen. He adjusted the sharpness and the electronic pointer scanned back and forth. Occasionally, a bright spot appeared.  That was a seabird flying by. After operating it for a while, I felt familiar. Fortunately, no one noticed it.

    Just as he was about to lower his gun position, he suddenly became naughty. There was no target in the sky, but what about on the sea?  With so many fishing boats anchored in the harbor, what would it be like to scan them with radar?  The idea is tempting.

    He leveled the gun barrel, facing the sea, and slowly turned the angle, again and again, but still nothing. He knew that wooden fishing boats had no radar reflections at all. Chen Shuangxi was unwilling to give in, and adjusted the angle again.  It's higher, facing the sea farther away.

    This time there was a target, one, two, he counted, and more targets were displayed on the radar screen. They were so densely packed with red dots that it was almost impossible to tell the number. He rubbed his eyes and adjusted the clarity, but it was still the same.  There were so many red dots that Chen Shuangxi suddenly felt something was wrong. The instructor had said that only metal objects would reflectRadar waves, what¡¯s in the sky is an airplane, what¡¯s on the sea?

    Warship!  Countless warships were heading here. With the vigilance of the soldier and the mission repeatedly emphasized by the company commander, he soon thought that the only ones coming from the sea were Japanese warships, and they were going to land here!

    Chen Shuangxi quickly jumped off the gun emplacement. Because of the panic, he was so nervous that he couldn't breathe. His feet slipped and he fell on the beach. His whole body was splashed with mud and water. He got up and shouted loudly: "Squad leader, Japanese devils."  Coming!" This shout was particularly loud in the quiet dawn.
