    After hearing Yang Zhen's plan to abandon the original plan to move to the Tianmu Mountains and reach Liyang via Sanxi, Jingde, and Ningguo, he instead followed the 88th Army under the headquarters of the 32nd Group Army stationed in Jixi and the original station stationed in Nanling.  There is a new plan to move northward between the two defense areas of the 25th Army in Xuancheng.

    No matter how experienced the military commander was in the battlefield, he couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.  No matter in the eyes of anyone, Yang Zhen's new idea of ??forcing his way through the gap between the two armies was a risky move.  You must know that if you encounter a blockage and are pursued by soldiers, you will be in a more dangerous situation than now.

    Although all two divisions of the 25th Army have been dispatched, their military headquarters are still stationed in Xuancheng.  The headquarters of the Thirty-second Group Army is stationed in Ningguo, and there is also the Eighty-eighth Army with two divisions nearby.  The east of Ningguo does not include the three divisions and one column of the Hunan Army's elite 28th Army stationed under the First Guerrilla Zone on the Xiaofeng line.

    "On the Liyang, Langxi, and Guangde front lines alone, two divisions, a brigade, and a column from the Second Guerrilla Zone were stationed, as well as part of the Zhongyi Rescue.  The commander-in-chief of the Second Guerrilla Zone was an old enemy of the New Fourth Army.  If he found that the southern Anhui team was walking close to his defense zone, he would never stand by and watch indifferently when a fight was already underway.

    Once you cross the Huihe River and head directly to the northeast, you are likely to face a pincer attack from three sides.  If you add in the strength of the Japanese 15th Division and the puppet army's Second Appeasement Regiment stationed in Fanchang, Wuhu, and Gaochun, choosing this route can even be described as being surrounded on all sides.

    Seeing the commander's hesitation, Yang Zhen, who understood what he was hesitating about, smiled and said: "Commander, when I was in the Northeast, I always asked my subordinates to have reverse thinking. Precisely because this route is almost  There is no chance of death, so I want to choose this route.¡±

    "We have now publicly broken up with the Third War Zone and started fighting. Ningguo is the throat of southern Anhui, and it is the rear of the Third War Zone. If we take this route, we will be attacked from three sides. This is the common view  . So most people don¡¯t think that our army will choose this route after breaking through.¡±

    "The Jingde direction south from here is located in the Tianmu Mountains, which is where the Third War Zone's troops are weak. Once we are pursued and intercepted, we can break out in any direction along the Tianmu Mountains. For us, it should be the most suitable. This is also  The reason why the Third War Zone urgently deployed the 62nd Division to move westward."

    "When there are many army commanders, the route that seems safer is actually the most unsafe. Just because it seems the safest, there will be people plotting against you along the way. Whatever you can think of, others have already thought of. And many  At the same time, the route that seems most dangerous may be the safest. This is what I call reverse thinking, and then find their loopholes, and then take advantage of them.  this means."

    "The 52nd and 108th divisions of the 25th Army in Xuancheng have all been dispatched, and they are all dispatched as the main force. The 88th Army currently stationed in Ningguo is a miscellaneous brand among the miscellaneous.  The combat and equipment are extremely poor and cannot be compared with the Central Army. "

    "And there is no fundamental conflict with our army. They will not go to great lengths to intercept our army. The most important thing is that as a miscellaneous army, they are afraid of being swallowed up by the Central Army or used as a shield and scapegoat by the Central Army.  The awareness of Paul is very deep and strong.¡±

    "These miscellaneous troops have a deep awareness of the Central Army's precautions. Even if Shangguan Yunxiang orders them to intercept our army, I am afraid that they will not be able to do their best. If compared to the Central Army, the 144th Division and the New 7th Division  The division is a miscellaneous force, so the 88th Army, which only has one newly formed 21st Division, is a miscellaneous force. "

    "Compared to the 144th Division, which is the elite of the Sichuan Army, and its equipment and combat effectiveness are absolutely top-notch in the Sichuan Army, and the New 7th Division, which was formed by the direct troops of the Sichuan Army. This division was formed by the defeated generals of the Sichuan Army in the civil war and summoned the old troops, and the number of troops under its jurisdiction is only two  The Eighty-eighth Army of the Fourth Brigade Regiment is even more wary of each other than the Central Army. I think this Eighty-eighth Army will never fight to the death."

    "What's more, Shangguan Yunxiang's 32nd Army Headquarters is stationed in Ningguo, and he still retains the 88th Army to escort him. If we enter Ningguo, the commander-in-chief will not fail to consider his own safety.  He has no determination to fight to the death by sending out the Eighty-Eighth Army, the only escort unit left by his side."

    "Although the second guerrilla zone stationed in Liyang, Langxi and Guangde has a large number of troops, it is relatively far away from the first line in Ningguo. As long as our army moves quickly, by the time they arrive, our army has already entered the mountainous area of ??Ningguo.  As for the first guerrilla zone on the Xiaofeng front line, although the Hunan Army has relatively strong combat effectiveness and its equipment is second only to the Central Army, it also has the problem of long distances. Its main force is still far away in the western Zhejiang area, although it is marching day and night.  HereThere is a long way to go, but we still have to walk step by step.  "

    "If we choose this route, the key issue lies in two words, and that is speed. As long as we act quickly and are determined, concentrate our forces and clench them into fists. Enter the territory of Ningguo before the first guerrilla zone can react.  Judging from Ning Guo¡¯s current lack of troops, we are quite confident of breaking out safely.¡±

    Yang Zhen¡¯s analysis made the military commander fall into deep thought.  Although he was somewhat disapproving of Yang Zhen's suggestion, the long-term suppression made him nod his head after a long silence: "I think the political commissar's analysis is reasonable. I think we should follow the political commissar's decision."

    Yang Zhen was slightly taken aback by the commander's performance.  It wasn't like he didn't hear the disapproval in the commander's tone.  He understood that the reason why the military commander agreed to his suggestion was because he was still frightened by the previous encounter and deliberately avoided it, and he still put himself in the position of a field commander.  Instead of performing his duties as the commander-in-chief of an army.

    What makes Yang Zhen a little confused is that he has put in a lot of effort since arriving in Wannan, but why he still hasn't been able to change the military commander's overly cautious style?  Since I arrived in Wannan, despite my hard work.  But the commander's job is not so much to restore confidence, but to passively cooperate.  He even took the initiative to put his position as chief of staff.

    Although Yang Zhen couldn't understand the commander's performance, under the current situation, Yang Zhen, who had no time to talk with him for a long time, could only put his work first: "Commander, the situation is not favorable now. In order to  For the convenience of command, the general part is divided into two parts, and you and I each take one part.¡±

    "In this way, even if there is an accident between you and me, the command of the entire army will not be interrupted. In this way, you can lead the vanguard to rush out according to the route we discussed and open the passage for the entire army. I will stay on the spot.  Xingtan gathers the follow-up troops, especially the Special Agent Regiment and the First Division of the Teaching Corps, as well as the military rearguard troops."

    Yang Zhen¡¯s suggestion actually puts himself in a dangerous position.  Everyone knows that when the enemy is surrounded on all sides, it is absolutely dangerous to stay and gather the follow-up troops.  Compared with the northern and middle troops, which are currently the most powerful, the southern troops moving from Niulanling to Xingtan are also the weakest.

    The original strength of the teaching corps was the smallest among all the ministries in southern Anhui, with a total of only more than 800 people.  There are said to be two battalions on the front line of Niulanling, but the actual total strength is less than 500 people.  As for the strength of the special agent regiment, in addition to leaving one person to serve as the general defender of the entire army, it also left several companies to carry out guerrilla warfare on the spot in southern Anhui. In fact, the strength was less than six companies.

    The two units on the southern front together do not have the strength of a regiment.  Once the enemy forces re-close the breach before the southern front troops get closer, everyone knows what the consequences will be.  It is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing to command such a small force to serve as the general defender of the entire army.  Therefore, Yang Zhen's suggestion was firmly opposed by senior military leaders.

    Faced with the opposition of almost everyone, Yang Zhen insisted: "The reason why I proposed that the commander and I set up two headquarters separately is because we are worried that the enemy's advance will be too fast. Once the follow-up troops arrive, the stars will  The breach in the pool has been re-sealed, and we can command the troops separately without losing command on one side."

    "The troops in southern Anhui are the foundation of the New Fourth Army. Any troop is extremely valuable. We cannot lose any troop easily. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must take them all out. I have fought guerrilla warfare in the Northeast and have experience in guerrilla warfare.  Compared to a military commander, it¡¯s relatively rich.¡±

    "Even if the Third Regiment cannot stop the 52nd Division from going south and the breakthrough is re-sealed. I can use my experience to lead the follow-up troops to find gaps to break out. So I stayed to gather the follow-up troops, and the commander commanded the troops who had crossed the Huihe River.  The first column and the main personnel of the military headquarters crossed the Huihe River first."

    "I decided to form the first echelon with the military commander, director of the Political Department, deputy secretary of the Southeast Bureau, and deputy chief of staff. The military commander and Comrade Xiao Yao will be responsible for military and political command respectively. Director Yuan and the secretary-general will uniformly command the military to follow the first echelon.  . All military operations and deployments are under the unified command of the military commander, and no one is allowed to interfere."

    "I will stay and select some of the elite personnel of the military headquarters to form a second command post, and stay to accommodate the follow-up troops. The battalion south of Xingtan will be left to my command. After the first echelon crosses the Hui River, no matter what happens in the west of the river  Don't stop and move toward the northeast with all your strength."

    Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the serious expressions of everyone in the military headquarters after hearing his decision, smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about my safety. Niulan Ridge is only seven or eight kilometers away from Xingtan. And I myself  Before Pi Ling led the army to move forward, he had ordered the southern troops to abandon their positions and retreat to the Changkeng Mountain and Xingtan lines alternately. If everything goes well.By the way, they had already reached the front line of Changkeng Mountain at this time.  "

    "And Changkeng Mountain is only a stone's throw away from Xingtan. You can get there in just a few words. So don't worry about my safety. The most important thing now is that the military must immediately cross the Huihe River and cross the Langqiao to Sanxi  As long as we cross this road, we will break through the enemy's first blockade.
