Chapter 310: The Great Retreat of the North China Front Army
"Crack, snap."
In Guoluo area, after two gunshots, a member of the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Department put away his gun and looked at his companions.
"We have dealt with all the people who are chasing us. Let's go find Professor Yang and the others."
Two days later, in the Hexi Corridor, Gobi Desert, in a small experimental base.
Zhao Tianyang brought Professor Zeng and Professor Yang, who had just arrived, to the digital computer research base.
"Hey, Minister Zhao, what's going on here? Why is it so mysterious?"
Professor Zeng asked curiously as he looked at the base with extremely tight security.
"You'll know soon!"
"Professor Zeng, long time no see!"
As soon as Zhao Tianyang finished speaking, Ye Qisun came out with his men.
"Professor Ye?"
Professor Zeng looked at the newcomer with surprise: "I heard you were missing, but I didn't expect you to be here!"
"Haha, aren't you here too?"
Ye Qisun asked with a smile: "Why, are you also missing?"
"Of course I can!"
Professor Zeng pointed at Professor Yang and the others and said, "We are not missing. When we came here, they had a fight with the Kuomintang's pursuers!"
"Oh, then you are better than us~!"
Ye Qisun said in surprise.
"What's so great about it! It's all thanks to the comrades of the Eighth Route Army."
Professor Zeng waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about you. What are you researching here?"
Hearing this, Ye Qisun glanced at Zhao Tianyang. Seeing Zhao Tianyang nodded slightly, he said to Professor Zeng: "Digital computer!"
"computer?"
Professor Zeng asked in shock, "Is it a computer that is powered and can perform autonomous calculations?"
"That's right!"
Ye Qisun nodded with amusement: "That's right, and we have already developed the first generation of computers, which can normally complete addition, subtraction, multiplication and other calculations!"
"Good guy!"
Professor Zeng looked at Zhao Tianyang with sudden realization: "Why did you bring us here?"
"What the hell, there's a computer here!"
"Haha, go in first!"
Zhao Tianyang led everyone into the laboratory and came to the room where the computers were placed.
"Before the construction of Plant 221 is completed, you will complete the preliminary calculations for nuclear weapons here!"
"Amazing!"
Professor Zhao and others walked over involuntarily and gently touched the computer body.
They never expected that one of the world's most advanced computers would appear in the most remote and desolate place in China.
While Professor Zeng and his friends were studying computers, Zhao Tianyang pulled Ye Qisun out of the room alone.
"The change of the computer research base to a nuclear weapons research institute has not caused dissatisfaction among everyone, right?"
"What did Minister Zhao say?"
Ye Qisun pretended to be displeased: "That's nuclear weapons research, everyone is too happy to be happy!"
"That's good!"
After Professor Zeng and others visited the base, they quickly entered the scientific research state. In the next few days, they used computers to continuously calculate the data needed to manufacture nuclear weapons.
..............
Shijiazhuang.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
One after another, Taihang Type 1 long-range rockets streaked across the sky, heralding the destruction of the Japanese army's last biological and chemical mortar position.
A burst of yellow smoke leaked out from the broken shells. The Japanese soldiers who had luckily survived immediately felt difficulty breathing and soon went to see the Emperor.
"Blow the charge and launch a general attack!!"
At the front-line command post at Xiaohuashan in Shijiazhuang, Commander Lin, who was observing through a telescope, saw that the Japanese resistance was weakening and decisively issued an order for a general attack.
"Report, Central Telegram!"
Just then, a communications soldier walked in.
"give it to me!"
The chief of staff walked over, took the telegram and read it.
"what happened?"
Commander Lin put down the telescope and asked when he saw the chief of staff frowning.
"The Central Committee told us to take Shijiazhuang and then immediately set out to take Baoding and encircle Beijing."
The chief of staff explained as he handed the telegram to Commander Lin.
"Isn't this nonsense? The soldiers have just captured Shijiazhuang and are exhausted."
Commander Lin took the telegram and read it with dissatisfaction. When he saw that it said that 200,000 Northeast People's Autonomous Army would come to support, he was surprised.
This is two hundred thousand people. After giving these two hundred thousand people, the commander-in-chief will only have ninety thousand people left.
"It's a bit strange. What does the central government want to do?"
Commander Lin took out a fried soybean and began to think.
“I don’t understand it either!”
The chief of staff shook his head: "In theory, Beijing has great political significance, but there is no need to rush to fight!"
"Report, Central Telegram!"
Just when the two were puzzled, a signalman came in with another telegram.
"Again?"
Commander Lin took the telegram, read it, and handed it to the chief of staff: "It says that the Japanese are trying to escape. There are not many defenders in Baoding and Beiping. Let us take Beiping quickly."
"They also said that a special forces company would come to help us!"
"Special Forces Company?"
The chief of staff was surprised and asked, "The one Li Yunlong did?"
"should be!"
Commander Lin came to the headquarters with fried soybeans, looked at Shijiazhuang where cheers were coming from, picked up two soybeans and put them down again, then turned around and went back to the headquarters.
"Leave two regiments to finish the job, and the rest of the troops will gather and head to Xinle City immediately."
"now?"
The chief of staff hesitated: "But the troops are very tired!"
"The central government must have its reasons for doing this!"
Commander Lin said sternly: "We are soldiers, and soldiers must follow orders. Go quickly!"
"Yes!"
The chief of staff saluted and left the command center to convey the central government's order.
Soon, the Eighth Route Army, which had just captured Shijiazhuang, began an emergency assembly without any explanation. Although the troops had complaints, they obeyed the orders and quickly prepared.
An hour later, the first troop set off, and the second troop set off 20 minutes later.
Two hours later, only two regiments were left in Shijiazhuang cleaning the battlefield and maintaining order.
Peking, North China Front Army Headquarters.
"The commander is ready. We will take a car to Tianjin, then take a boat from Tianjin directly to Shanghai, and then take a train to Nanjing."
Chief of Staff Oshiroto Sanji held a itinerary and said to the devil Okamura.
"Where are the troops?"
Okamura said calmly.
"The troops in Peking will take the train with us to Tianjin, and then take the train to Cangzhou to join the troops waiting there, and then go south to Jinan together."
Okiroto Sanji replied.
"Yoshi!"
Satisfied, Okamura returned the itinerary to Okiroto Sanzhi and asked, "Are the troops that will delay the Eighth Route Army ready?"
"We are ready. The garrison and the North China Pacification Army will defend the city and delay the time."
Oshiroto Sanji said with a smug look on his face: "We have taken control of Qi Xieyuan's family."
"I believe that with him as the commander, the Pacification Army will work hard to defend the city."
Retreat is a technical job. In order to bring as many troops as possible to the south, Okamura held a meeting with the General Staff for three days and three nights. Now they can finally retreat.
