Chapter 675 You Still Understand Me
Hu Lian was not a fool. As soon as he heard Jiang Dingwen's words, he understood the meaning, so he nodded and said nothing more.
On the day of the national crisis, instead of uniting to fight the war, they also withdrew the troops around them that should have been fighting the war and put them in the ranks of guarding against friendly forces. It is really lamentable.
Just when Jiang Dingwen was halfway in the war of resistance and fully guarding against the independent column, Zhengzhou fell.
The 110th Division of the Kwantung Army had already captured Zheng County and built defensive positions in Zheng County.
The 1st Division, the 27th Division, the 3rd Tank Division, and the th Independent Mixed Brigade launched an all-out attack on Luoyang!
Luoyang is in emergency!
"Order, all troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, conduct blocking operations in echelons, and make sure that Luoyang is not lost before the offensive forces east of Xuchang and the Pinghan Line are fully prepared!"
At present, Chiang Ting-wen still believes that the troops of the First War Zone east of the Pinghan Line can rely on the fortifications of the Pinghan Line and the defense of strongholds such as Xuchang to block the Japanese Kaifeng Corps, and withdraw troops to annihilate the corps advancing westward to Luoyang.
Ideas are beautiful, but reality is cruel!
As long as the Central Army's combat effectiveness is strong enough, the strategic goal can be achieved. However, Jiang Dingwen was still blindly confident that the "absolute advantage" in military strength could make up for the shortcomings in weapons, training and strategy.
But reality soon gave him a loud slap in the face.
At 18: that afternoon, Xingyang, west of Zheng County, fell.
At 8:00 p.m. the next day, Gongyi, west of Xingyang, fell.
Jiang Dingwen couldn't sleep all night, and Li Yunlong and Wang Meng in the Pingshun military fortress were also worried and couldn't sleep.
"Mengzi, the guy in Chongqing is not planning to stick to his guns and wait for the Japanese to occupy the entire south bank of the Yellow River before handing this hot potato to us, right?
By then, all the fortifications built by the Central Army will be a hindrance to the Japanese, and it will not be so easy for us to cross the river and fight!"
What Li Yunlong said did make sense. The strategic idea proposed by the man in Chongqing at that time was to rely on the strong fortifications on the south bank of the Yellow River and launch a fierce attack on the enemy crossing the river, so that all the Japanese soldiers who crossed the river would end up feeding the fish in the river.
Even though the independent column had plenty of ways to blast out a no-man's land at the bridgehead, if the Japanese stubbornly resisted, they could still cause huge casualties to the crossing troops.
"Lao Li, since the guy from Chongqing doesn't want us to cross the river so quickly, should we force him to invite us across?"
Li Yunlong showed a gossipy expression, as if he had discovered something remarkable.
"Force him? Do you have something on him?"
"Handle? Of course we don't have any! Even if we do have a handle, we can't use it as a threat. We should win people over with virtue! As long as you nod, I will immediately go to Lao Zhao to discuss it!"
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly. If they don't invite me, Old Li, to cross the river, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back and will just go over there!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he immediately found Zhao Gang who was busy.
"Old Zhao, what are you busy with?"
"What are you busy with? Aren't you preparing for the battle on the front line? I'm organizing a stretcher team for you, and then mobilizing the people to do the logistics for you!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the military and the people are so close!"
"Stop talking nonsense, if you have something to say, say it now, if you have something to say, fart now, I have a lot of things to deal with!"
"Then I'll be frank. Our independent column is preparing to cross the river to fight, but now that Chongqing has not invited us to cross the river, we are a well-known force in China after all, and we can't just shamelessly go and help, right? We should at least have some face."
Zhao Gang rolled his eyes at him.
"You are just afraid of not being able to justify your actions. There is no need to go around in circles."
"Hehehe, you really understand me! Lao Zhao, I know you have a lot of ideas for political work, so please give me some advice!"
Zhao Gang put down the work in his hands, took out a piece of paper and slapped it in front of Wang Meng.
"Here, take a look. If you are satisfied, I will do it right away!"
Wang Meng took out the piece of paper and saw that it was actually a petition from all the Chinese people.
"When the country is in crisis, the enemy invades our land, first occupying the Northeast, then taking North China, and now has extended its evil hands to our land of Central Henan, and the war has started again!
The Central Army's troops fought bloody battles, but due to their inferior weapons and equipment, even though they wanted to kill the enemy, they were powerless to turn the tide.
We earnestly request the Chongqing Central Government to order Commander Li Yunlong, director of the Mengjin Camp, to put aside past grudges, lead the independent column across the river to fight, annihilate the enemy on the south bank of the Yellow River, ensure that the people in central Henan are spared from the ravages of war, ensure the absolute safety of Shaanxi, and ensure the absolute safety of Chongqing Dafang!
Four hundred million compatriots will write books and biographies for the Chongqing Central Government, the Independent Column and the Central Army, and their names will be passed down forever! "
After reading it, Wang Meng was deeply impressed by Zhao Gang's literary talent and flawless writing.
This so-called petition exposed the gap between the Independent Column and the Central Army, so that everyone knew what was going on.
If you in Chongqing don't issue the order, it's your fault, you are so stingy!
If your independent column received the order but turned a deaf ear to it, it would be your fault and you would be disregarding the interests of the nation.
Although they seemed to be taking a middle position, the Independent Column took advantage of it. After all, as long as the Chongqing government gave the order, they would immediately cross the river without hesitation.
It's simply forcing Chongqing to give orders.
Moreover, this petition praised the Central Army so that the Central Army on the south bank would not be disheartened and develop resistance to the Independent Column, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
This "petition" has such a high moral commanding point and profound intention that it has simply pinned the person in Chongqing in the palm of their hands.
Although there have been similar petitions before, the publishers did not have the "tools" to expand their influence, so most of them ended in failure.
However, this article was written by Zhao Gang, so he has countless ways to let people all over the country know about it.
He planned to first find well-known scholars and professors from Pingshun University in Henan Province as initiators, and then contact all the celebrities across the country, and even various forces overseas.
Then, it was released continuously through the highly influential Pingshun Radio Station and Pingshun Daily, and its influence continued to expand through major newspapers that have established branches in Pingshun.
In short, he must let all Chinese people know about this petition within two days.
When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns. Any serious Chinese citizen will not have a negative attitude towards this petition, otherwise he is either an enemy or a spy!
"Old Zhao, your plan is good, right? But how do you know we would worry about this?"
"Haha, I don't believe you can wait until the ancient capital of Luoyang is occupied before sending out troops!"
"You still understand me!"
