    Chapter 623: The battle before the temple

    In Yan'an, northern Shaanxi, where the Central Military Commission is stationed, in mid-March in northern Shaanxi, the breath of spring can already be vaguely smelled. The snow on the sunny slopes has melted, and the ice skates hanging under the eaves have melted into water and splashed down.  The loess land is shining with dazzling luster under the sunlight, and the air is full of moisture.  -< Piaotian literature registered members recommend this work >-%.net

    The five secretaries of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, **, and Ren Bishi gathered in the cave of ***. More than a month had passed since Tang Qiuli left Yan'an.  The troops with uniforms and new equipment have been reorganized and trained, and are waiting for the order to go out.

    Such a historical opportunity will never be missed by the Communist Party. It is definitely not the will of the Communist leaders to be located in a corner of northern Shaanxi. In their hearts, they pretend to be the whole of China. When the Communist leaders gather together, they are one  The topic is, when will we cross the Yellow River eastward and head for the battlefield in North China?

    *** said in his thick Hunan accent: "Maybe that little guy forgot about us. Xiaomi in northern Shaanxi doesn't leave anyone alone." This was half a joke and half a question, which caused a burst of laughter. Everyone knows**  Who is the little guy that * is referring to? Since Jiang came to power, there has been no one who can be on an equal footing with him and control half of the country's precedents. * helped him in the Eastern Expedition and the two Northern Expeditions.  In the end, we were not forced to resort to armed resistance.

    The leaders of the Communist Party of China were full of curiosity about Tang Qiuli, who rose like a comet. He was so young, but he could control so much military power and became the mainstay of the northern anti-Japanese battlefield. The strangest thing was that Chairman Chiang seemed to be interested in  He was also helpless and allowed him to grow bigger. If it had been anyone else, he would have been dealt with by Chiang Kai-shek a long time ago. *** explained in one sentence, "The times create heroes." The next sentence is probably "There are no heroes in the world.  "Shuzi becomes famous"

    According to the division of labor among the five secretaries of the Communist Party of China, Zhou Enlai mastered the intelligence system. He knew the meaning of ***'s half-joke, and immediately said rigorously: "According to the intelligence we have, Tang Qiuli has now set up a headquarters in Zhengzhou to command Shandong.  During the bandit suppression campaign, however, he gave the command to his cousin Tang Qiuquan, the captain of the special warfare detachment of the ** Division. Now, the banditry in Shandong Province has been eradicated. According to reports, Tang Qiuli personally ordered that in Shandong  Ju Ye, within three days, shot more than 400 people. Now, he has turned his attention to the Taihang Mountains and mobilized troops frequently. "

    Zhou Enlai paused and continued: "According to the information provided by the Pingjin underground party, the new commander of Japan's North China Expeditionary Army, Okamura Neiji, has assembled heavy troops in the area from Handan to Shexian. It is obvious that the target of the Japanese army must be the North China Army.  In the Taihang Mountains, the division¡¯s main rear base, I have ordered the Pingjin underground party to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese troops.¡±

    After Zhou Enlai finished speaking, the five Communist leaders in the cave were silent and very horrified in their hearts. The banditry in Shandong began in the early years of the Republic of China and reached its peak when Han Fuju was in charge of Shandong. However, Tang Qiuli took less than two  It is incredible that a century-old banditry in Shandong was eradicated in just a few months.

    ***'s mood was the most complicated. As the most outstanding strategic master, he could see Tang Qiuli's intention to get involved in Shandong at a glance. The importance of Shandong's strategic position is self-evident. This was originally his ***  One eye can make a good article, but now, Tang Qiuli has taken the lead. The Eighth Route Army's march eastward and running Shandong will inevitably conflict with Tang Qiuli's fundamental interests. According to Tang Qiuli's current way of running Shandong,  Determination will not allow anyone to get involved.

    The leaders of the Communist Party here are all outstanding talents. They have thought of what *** thought of, but they can only keep these words in their hearts. However, they don¡¯t feel comfortable in their hearts. It¡¯s like a treasure that they have to guard.  For a long time, I watched it being taken away by others, but I couldn't stop it or take it back.

    Zuo Quan, deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, hurriedly walked into the cave dwelling, breaking the solemn atmosphere. "Chairman, boss, there is a telegram from the Yellow River Basin Theater Command." Zuo Quan probably also noticed that the atmosphere was strange, and said succinctly without any nonsense, "  "Cao Cao is here, but he still hasn't forgotten us. Let's see, what is the decree from Vice Chairman Tang?" *** said jokingly.

    Everyone's attention was attracted by the telegram. Zhu De took the telegram first and said in a strong Sichuan accent: "Chairman, they asked us to send troops." *** took the telegram from Zhu De's hand and laughed after reading it.  , "Is this little guy very considerate? Do you know that we were forced by Chairman Chiang to show off his special skills? He only designated the combat area and the way to fight. We have the final say ourselves. Mr. Zhu, the rest is up to you.  "

    Zhu De smiled honestly, "When it comes to fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains, Vice Chairman Tang has found the right person. From the moment we formed an army, we finally settled in Jinggang Mountain. That day, we didn't wander around in the ravines.  *** laughed and said, "Boss, the Taihang Mountains, which are thousands of miles away, are the roof of North China. When we go there, we will"Returning to the sea, tigers enter the mountains and forests. Since Vice Chairman Tang has carved out a territory for us, it is difficult to reject his hospitality, but it is disrespectful. Let us stand firm in the Taihang Mountains, defeat the Japanese, and create a new China. Boss, you  We will send you off when you go to war."

    *** Still unfinished, he continued: "We crossed the Yellow River eastward in 36 years to go to North China. We made Commander Yan so nervous that he couldn't sleep. He put on a desperate posture and invited ten divisions of the Central Army to help. This time,  Let¡¯s take Shang Fang¡¯s sword and pass by his Shanxi province to see what he has to say.¡±

    There was another burst of laughter. After receiving the telegram from Tang Qiuli ordering the Eighth Route Army to send troops to North China, the anxiety that had gathered in the hearts of the Communist leaders for many days was swept away. Zhu De said to Zuo Quan: "Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, immediately send troops to the Yellow River Basin  Tang Qiuli, the general headquarters of the theater, called back. On March 14, troops from the three main divisions of our Eighth Route Army would pass through Liulin Ferry on the Yellow River, cross the Luliang Mountains, and pass through the Jinzhong area to the Taihang Mountains Theater in North China. Please send them  Contact code and radio call sign.¡±

    Tang Qiuli, who was in Zhengzhou, had no idea that his telegram would have such a big repercussions within the leadership of the Communist Party of China. He also did not know that the topics of the leaders of the Communist Party of China were all about him.  His words and deeds are enough to influence the government's strategy and direction.

    All deployments have been completed, and the troops participating in the Battle of Jingxingguan are ready, just waiting for his orders. However, there is still a mystery in Tang Qiuli's heart that has not been solved. There seems to be a layer of fog in front of him. This is not true at all.  Understanding it is the main factor that affects him in issuing attack orders and determining the time of attack.

    Tang Qiuli didn't quite understand why the newly appointed commander of the North China Expeditionary Force, Okamura Neiji, would choose the Taihang Mountains as his first battle target instead of capturing big cities and plain areas. In North China, there are more valuable things than the Taihang Mountains.  There are so many strategic goals, but so much money has been invested in the mountainous area. There must be something in the Taihang Mountains that attracted Neji Okamura.

    He stood in front of the map of North China for a long time. It was getting dark and he didn't notice it. The staff officers and correspondents slowed down and lowered their voices when entering and exiting. They all knew that the division commander was considering major strategic issues at this time and did not dare to disturb him.  Mei Ting and Mei Xue brought the food. Seeing his obsessed look, the two sisters looked at each other. Mei Ting stepped forward and said softly: "Qiu Li, it's already dark, let's have dinner."

    Only then did Tang Qiuli come back to his senses. He felt hungry in his belly. He smiled apologetically at the two women who cared about him and started eating. He ate so hard that he choked and rolled his eyes. Mei Xue quickly got a glass of water.  , and gently beat him on the back. He was chewing some unknown food in his mouth, but his eyes did not leave the map. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

    He hurriedly called in a few combat staff and asked them to mark the locations of all the battles of the ** division on the map. After working for a while, all the battle locations clearly appeared on the map. I completely understood, Okamura  Why did Ningci take the Taihang Mountains as the focus of his attack? All previous battles took the Taihang Mountains as the center point and spread out in a radial pattern. The farthest battle location was only in the Xuzhou area. The method adopted by Tang Qiuli was different from that of Okamura Ning.  Same every time.

    Okamura Neiji must have confirmed that the Taihang Mountains are his rear supply base. The materials and ammunition for hundreds of thousands of troops must be supplied here. If he can destroy or occupy his logistics supply base for a long time and cut off his food, grass and ammunition, how many people will he supply?  The army of 100,000 collapsed without a fight. Perhaps Okamura Neiji had a deeper conspiracy. He would not sit back and watch his neck being strangled. He would inevitably fight with the Japanese army repeatedly in the Taihang Mountains. In this way, a battle would be formed in North China.  The decisive battle between China and Japan.

    This is the second most important thing for Nei Okamura. With the rich strategic resources in the Pingjin area, the Manchurian Kwantung Army, and the superior strength of the Japanese army in North China, it will be very difficult for him in the Taihang Mountains. He will have to mobilize troops from various battlefields.  The hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops who were pinned down in Cangzhou and Niangziguan were able to free up their hands and join the battlefield in the Taihang Mountains. They used their superior strength to fight with themselves, gradually consuming their own strength.

    If the Kwantung Army moves its troops south again, its situation will not be good. Hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered in the Taihang Mountains. It is not easy to withdraw. They cannot afford to fight a war of attrition. **  , Okamura Neiji, this old devil, is really cruel and ruthless. He wants to solve the North China problem in one battle, and the Taihang Mountain base area will face another disaster.

    Once he figured this out, all the context became clear, and the situation in North China was displayed three-dimensionally in Tang Qiuli's mind. He couldn't help but laugh ferociously. Several staff officers looked at each other with horror. Even Mei Ting and Mei Xue were stunned.  Frowning, this guy's smile was too scary and unspeakably evil, like a weasel grabbing a chicken.

    Tang Qiuli didn't care what they thought. Now that Okamura Neiji's purpose of attacking the Taihang Mountains was determined, the next thing would be easy to handle. The time for the Japanese army to attack Jingxing Pass was Oka??When Ningji launched an attack on Licheng.
