Chapter 457 The Battle of Xuzhou is over!
Professor Hao naturally had no objection to Chen Qingzhi's proposal.
In fact, they have completely lost their backbone now, and they don't even know where to go, so they can only follow Chen Qingzhi's independent journey for the time being.
As for Chen Qingzhi, he planned to take the troops to take a detour to Wuhan and other places via Yusheng.
What's more, he plans to go to Yucheng next, to bring out Wang Yachuan, who is recuperating, and visit the little girl by the way.
After hearing Chen Qingzhi's plan, Professor Hao also nodded in agreement. Before that, the students and most of the teachers in their middle school had been evacuated to Wuhan with the army to find another place to resettle the campus. Chen Qingzhi's plan happened to be in line with him. And together.
They can also arrive by the way and contact other teachers and students in the upper campus at that time.
Under such a plan, the Independent Brigade marched towards Yu Province with the troops.
All the way through the mountains and wading through the mountains, although it was very hard, but fortunately, there were no little devils chasing him, which was a blessing in misfortune.
From Xuzhou all the way to the west, via Shangqiu, Kaifeng, and finally arrived in Zheng County, where they joined some retreating large troops, and the Independent Brigade relaxed.
Zheng County not only has some troops that were withdrawn from the battle of Xuzhou and stationed temporarily, but also the defenders of Zheng County, and along the way, there are also defenders stationed in Shangqiu, Kaifeng and other places. The little devil wants to chase them quickly , is not so easy.
What's more, Xuzhou has already fallen, and the main focus of the Japanese army is definitely planning to plan the Wuhan battle. Therefore, they must not have paid too much attention to Zheng County.
In other words, they are temporarily safe here!
Just when the Independent Brigade temporarily settled down in Zheng County, the Japanese army in Xuzhou also chased them along the Longhai Railway. Not two days after the Independent Brigade arrived in Zheng County, the little devil had already arrived in places such as Shangqiu and Kaifeng. Although the defenders in the area resisted one after another, they were still unable to catch up with the battle, and fought and retreated, returning to Zheng County.
Although there are many troops stationed in Zheng County, if a war starts, the troops here will inevitably be restrained by the Japanese army, which will then affect the progress of the battle in Wuhan. In view of this situation, if the defenders have no choice but to report the situation to the Yucheng wanted to ask Generalissimo Jiang to come up with an idea.
After receiving this situation, someone Jiang also carefully considered, and after considering the overall situation, on June 6, someone Jiang issued an order.
He ordered the garrison of Yu Province in Zheng County to dig open the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou in the northeast of Zheng County, intending to use floods to force the Japanese army to retreat.
Although this move will cause flooding in the flood discharge area and downstream, but considering the overall situation, it has to be done!
The hundreds of thousands of troops in Yu Province cannot be restrained, and they must not be restrained by the Japanese army!
Otherwise, the battle in Wuhan will face the dilemma of lack of troops!
Although doing so will ruin many families, in this war-torn era where the country is ruined and families are ruined, no one can control their own destiny. In the overall situation, only a small number of people can be sacrificed!
Once this order was issued, there was an uproar among many troops, especially the local armies in Yu Province. Many soldiers and generals were locals. After hearing this order, they immediately exploded!
Some people even wanted to respond to the above, but all of them returned in vain!
This order will never allow changes, let alone delays, and there is no possibility of modification!
As a last resort, the local garrison had no choice but to dig the embankment of the Yellow River with tears in their eyes. The raging flood flooded instantly and rushed to the downstream flood discharge area.
The pursuing Japanese army did not dare to pursue any more. Seeing the arrival of the flood, they could only retreat to the east of the Yellow Flooded Area and make further plans.
So far, the battle of Xuzhou is completely over!
However, although the battle of Xuzhou was over, a new battle was about to start.
As early as a few months ago, the upper level had already drawn up a battle plan to encircle Wuhan, and after the Xuzhou battle ended and Xuzhou fell, the upper level immediately redeployed the battle plan.
Here, it is worth mentioning that although Xuzhou fell, the protracted battle centered on Xuzhou was not without any effect.
In the battle of Xuzhou, the fifth war zone held the Xuzhou area for five months under the command of Li Zongren, which was fully reflected in Li Zongren's war strategy of exchanging space for time, which won precious time for the preparation, assembly, and deployment of the battle in Wuhan, and because The great victory in Taierzhuang was our army's first great victory in a frontal battle with the Japanese army. It broke the myth of the Japanese army's invincibility, made the Japanese army's strategic plan for a quick battle come to naught, and greatly inspired the people and troops all over the country. Determination to fight!
In addition, although the Battle of Xuzhou failed, on the other hand, it ended because of the Battle of Xuzhou, and all the generals realized a brand new way of fighting, and they were even more impressed with the Japanese army!
You must know that before the Battle of Xuzhou, the strategy adopted by our army was basically to passively fight defensive battles. We often put ourselves in a passive situation when the battle started. And the determination to resist the war is not firm enough, so repeated battles and defeats.
However, after the defeat in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, the upper echelon of the Communist Party also absorbed the previous experience, and tentatively carried out some new tactics. It was used in the Battle of Xuzhou, and changed to A new approach to offensive defense.
Combining the offensive of mobile warfare, the defensive of positional warfare, and the intrusion of guerrilla warfare, in a pre-selected battlefield theater, some of the troops will stick to their positions to attract and consume the enemy's vital forces, while the other part of the troops will guerrilla behind the enemy's rear and destroy the enemy's communication lines. Raid strongholds and their transport supplies, pin down the enemy so that they cannot muster all their strength and distract them from other tasks.
The last part of the main corps is to detour the enemy's side and carry out a powerful attack, thus changing the internal line of battle into the external line of combat, striving for the initiative in the passive.
This strategy was vividly demonstrated in the Battle of Taierzhuang.
It is precisely because of the experiments in the Battle of Xuzhou and the successful case of the Battle of Taierzhuang that the defenders have learned a lot of valuable experience, and these experiences will be mixed and implemented by the defenders, and will be displayed in the next Wuhan Battle!
Therefore, although the Xuzhou battle failed, under Li Zongren's calm command, most of the effective forces in the fifth theater were preserved, and a lot of valuable experience and vital forces were obtained for the upcoming Wuhan battle.
From a certain point of view, although the battle of Xuzhou was defeated, it was a victory in a certain aspect for a country that has been losing ground!
Because the end of the Xuzhou battle not only won precious time, but also accumulated a lot of precious and useful experience for the Wuhan battle!
Chapter 458 An old end, a new beginning!
As early as the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Zongren once expressed some views in his book "Scorched Earth Anti-Japanese War".
"From a strategic point of view, if the Japanese army engages in a dignified positional battle with our army, then the other side is strong and we are weak, and we are invincible! The Japanese army has also noticed this, so the enemy's reliance is on quick battles and quick decisions!"
"But we must not be restrained by the Japanese army. We must avoid our weaknesses, give full play to our strengths, and use our vast land, people, and dangerous mountains and rivers to plan a long-term war of attrition that resists steadily! Once the Japanese army falls into our In the vast strategic depth, the front line is stretched, it is not easy to supply, and it is also difficult to withdraw. I implement the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, launching guerrilla warfare in the enemy's rear area, destroying the enemy's transportation, transportation, and supply... so that the enemy cannot gather strength at one point and distract others. , exhausted, lost sight of the other, and fell into the quagmire of war!"
"In this way, it is easy to use our vast strategic depth and trade space for time to drag down the enemy and defeat the enemy!"
In the battle of Xuzhou, Li Zongren made preliminary use of his ideas. He knew the weakness of the enemy's strength and arrogance. , The enemy retreats and we fight'strategic policy.
Although it failed to wipe out all the Japanese troops, it laid a solid foundation for the Battle of Wuhan, and it also represented the transformation from the original passive defense to active defense.
As Chen Cheng said: "The victory of Taierzhuang is the strategic effect of our guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare!"
The influence and significance are very huge!
The end of the Xuzhou battle also marks the imminent start of the Wuhan battle!
This is the end of an old and the beginning of a new one!
The Battle of Wuhan can be said to be a major turning point in the history of the War of Resistance!In this battle, the two sides gathered more than one million troops again, and both sides were desperate, using the power of the whole country to deal with it!
In order to resist the Japanese attack and protect Wuhan, the defenders mobilized 50 divisions from 130 armies, more than 200 aircraft of various types, more than 40 ships of various types and mine-laying boats, with a total strength of more than 100 million troops. Use the favorable terrain on both sides of the Dabie Mountains, Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River to organize defenses and defend Wuhan.
After the Japanese army captured Xuzhou, in order to expand the results of the battle, they eliminated the vital forces of the defenders as soon as possible, forced the authorities to surrender, and sent the troops here to other battlefields. Jun Hata commanded the 2nd and 11th armies with a total of about 140 brigades, and more than 25 troops were responsible for the attack on Wuhan.
The five and a half divisions of the 11th Army commanded by Neiji Okamura focused on Wuhan on both sides of the Yangtze River, and the four and a half divisions of the Second Army were commanded by King Higashikyuermiya to attack Wuhan along the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains. More than 2 ships in the fleet, together with the assistance of more than 120 aircraft led by Lieutenant General Tokugawa Hotoshi of the Japanese Army, and the five divisions directly under the Central China Expeditionary Army were responsible for guarding Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other areas. Consolidate the rear to ensure the success of this battle!
The Japanese army has mobilized such a large force this time. For the current Japanese army, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have put all their eggs in one basket!
You must know that the economy of the Japanese army at this time has long been overwhelmed.
In fact, as early as before and after the July [-]th Incident, the Japanese army had already made their soldiers extremely nervous because of many military operations. The sudden increase in sales has made RB's economic system unable to support it, and it has even been overloaded.
The military expenditure forced Konoe to reshuffle the cabinet, and thus issued a war economic system.
