Chapter 535: The Arrogant Soup Legion
At 7 p.m. on the 13th, Luojia Mountain Official Residence.
"Sir, Chief Li requested to transfer the 20th Army, which was trained in eastern Henan, to the Fifth War Zone as the general reserve team of the war zone, and to reinforce Teng County at any time?"
"Send a telegram to Tang Keqin and ask him to lead the 20th Legion to report to the Fifth War Zone!" Old Jiang did not hesitate. This was agreed in advance. Once the war started, the 20th Legion would be assigned to the command of the Fifth War Zone.
"Yes!" Lin Wei nodded.
Xuzhou, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.
Although there is a "Aprils' Day" plan to prepare for the foundation, Li Delin is not willing to miss the opportunity to annihilate the enemy. He cannot always wait until he leads the enemy to Taierzhuang and fight. He must first slash the Japanese army's spirit.
In addition to ordering the Teng County defenders to hold on for at least three days, the General Staff also began to formulate a combat plan to see if some of the Japanese army could be eliminated in the Teng County area.
Of course, he had to wait for the 85th Army of the Tang Army to arrive.
It takes two days to arrive from Henan to Xuzhou at the fastest time. The next two days are the most difficult days for the 22nd Army.
Inducing the enemy deeper does not mean letting the enemy come in directly, which will directly break the entire defense line. As a long-time general on the battlefield, Li Delin knows this truth well.
We must give the Japanese army a heavy blow so that the enemy can believe that the victory they won was not the opponent's intentional release of water and create good conditions for the enemy below to annihilate it.
"The 45th Army suffered a lot of casualties today, two thousand people small, and the Japanese army suffered less than one-quarter of our casualties. Although we repelled the Japanese attack, our fortifications were seriously damaged. Only the frontal positions were on the ground. Today, the Japanese army fired almost 5,000 shells, dispatched more than 170 aircraft, and bombed them in turn. Most of the casualties occurred in artillery and bombardment!" In the combat room, Chief of Staff Xu Yanmou said.
"Didn't you ask them to dig more anti-aircraft holes in advance?"
"The effect is not very good. Most of the heavy howitzers in the Japanese army have great power. The anti-aircraft holes they dug are a little shallow, without steel and cement support, and they collapse as soon as they explode. Many soldiers were buried alive in this way."
"Didn't the materials for the construction of fortifications be allocated to them?"
"That long fortification, a cup of water can drain the firewood!" Xu Yanmou sighed.
Li Delin reached out and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table. After igniting it, he sucked it twice. It was just the first day that the battle was like this and the loss was so great.
Although the Japanese army was arrogant and arrogant, its combat effectiveness was really scary.
"Send a telegram to Tang Army. The 22nd Army has few troops and poor equipment, weak fronts, and empty wings, and may not be able to resist the enemy. The telegram has been submitted to the commissioner to agree to transfer the reorganized division of the 85th Army of the Army to Shangqiu, and transport it to the vicinity of Teng County by train, as the general reserve team of the 22nd Army."
"yes!"
Li Delin was very worried that Tang's army was the direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek. Although this time, Chiang Kai-shek had no difficulties from the overall situation and agreed to adjust the strong 20th Army to fight in the Fifth War Zone.
But he himself knew some of the knowledge about Tang Keqin, and he might not be able to command this Huangpu branch.
No matter what, since Chiang Kai-shek issued the transfer order, Tang probably didn't want to come, so he wanted to come. If he didn't obey, he had to obey. This is the overall situation of the War of Resistance.
Xuchang, the headquarters of the Tang Army Corps.
Once two telegrams connected to Lao Jiang and Li Delin were connected, it was obviously urging him to report to the Fifth War Zone as soon as possible.
During the battle of Nankou, Tang Keqin became famous and a little arrogant, which made him a little arrogant. Among his direct lines, the troops and strength under his jurisdiction were the strongest. The 20th Legion was known as one hundred thousand troops. Although it was a bit exaggerated, there were always 70,000 to 80,000.
Tang Keqin looked down on anyone, and could only obey Jiang's orders. Therefore, he was a little dissatisfied with asking him to go to the Fifth War Zone and accept the command of a local warlord.
After thinking about it over and over again, he recruited an adjutant and sent a telegram to Jiang.
"I beg you to order our army to be under the jurisdiction of the system to show your responsibilities!"
When Jiang Jiang received this telegram, he was really angry, but he also knew that his confidant subordinate was unwilling to accept Li Delin's command.
But at this time it was not a battle between the local government and the central government, but a battle between the survival of the country and the nation. At this time, it would be a bit unreasonable for Tang Keqin to do such a small thought.
Lao Jiang then sent a stern telegram asking him to send the 85th Army to operate immediately, and made it clear that the 20th Legion would now belong to the Fifth War Zone.
However, Lao Jiang didn't know that after sending him a telegram for advice, Tang sent him a telegram to Li Delin of the Fifth War Zone.
When Li Delin saw the content of the telegram, he was very angry.
"I beg you to transfer all of our army to Jinpu Road to break and attack, avoid fragmented use, so as to improve the situation of the war and eliminate dispersion, or to make valueless consumption!"
This is a high-sounding statement, but the real intention is not that he doesn't want his troops to accept his command from Li Delin?
"Bastard, what does Tang Keqin want to do?"
"Dong De, please calm down. Tang Keqin is already quite arrogant. He has always regarded himself as the first person in the direct line. Now he has a heavy army, and he is even more arrogant. I think only Mr. Jiang can command it!" Xu Yan said.
"Then send a telegram to Chairman Jiang." At this time, Li Delin had no choice but to deal with it in this way, and put the overall situation first.
This round-trip request took at least half a day, and Tang's own intentional delay wasted a lot of time, so the reinforcements were like putting out a fire.
Tang used this excuse to delay the dispatch of troops, which completely annoyed Li Delin. He sued Tang Keqin in a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek.
On the afternoon of the 14th, Tang Keqin ordered that the unit of the 4th Division of the 85th Army stationed in Shangqiu waited for the train to Xuzhou under the leadership of the division commander Chen Daqing.
At this time, the Sichuan Army had been fighting for a day and a half outside Teng County.
The Japanese army did not adopt a roundabout tactic the next day, but instead concentrated their strength to continue to launch a fierce attack on the main position outside Teng County, and the shells were smashed down for no money. The main position of the Sichuan Army was already full of holes.
After a night of emergency repairs, some fortifications were restored, and almost all losses were lost during the morning attack.
Fortifications can be repaired again, as long as there is time, casualties of people cannot be compensated.
The war burned the sky red and the Sichuan Army's passion. The man determined to kill the enemy and protect his hometown!
A group of brave Sichuan soldiers fell on the positions, and the blood stained the earth red. They will always sleep on this land they vowed to defend to the death.
The 127th Division Puyang Mountain position.
The 745th Regiment of the 373rd Brigade was guarded by this position.
The Japanese army's new round of artillery fire preparations were even more crazy this time, and it took half an hour to go on. Puyang Mountain was not high, and this round of artillery fire cut off at least half of the mountain.
All the surface fortifications of the 745th Regiment were destroyed. Taking advantage of the opportunity of artillery bombardment, the charge Japanese army occupied most of the hills.
The situation of war is in crisis!
If the enemy is allowed to occupy Shouyang Mountain, then the right wing will be like the enemy is piercing a hole, and the consequences are unimaginable.
"Stop shooting for me, stop shooting!" The regiment commander Yao Chaolun was red in his eyes. Just when the Japanese army was bombing, he did not stop counterattack. Almost all the only mortars in the regiment headquarters were beaten to scrap iron by the Japanese.
There is also some lack of ammunition.
Facing the Japanese army rushing up like locusts, the brave and resourceful Commander Yao ordered the stop shooting!
"What are you doing in the group? I won't fight?"
"If you don't fight, who said I won't fight anymore? Listen to me. Put the Japanese within twenty meters before greeting me. Save some bullets and use grenades, and understand if you understand!"
"I understand!"
The gunshot suddenly stopped, and the Japanese squadron leader who led the team to command the attack excitedly waved his command knife: "The warriors of the empire, charge, the Chinese people have no bullets!"
“……(The Japanese charge is too unpleasant, and the ellipsis means)”
"Prepare the grenade!"
The grenades were twisted and the back cover was pulled out, and all the officers and soldiers of the 745th Regiment were staring at the jackals in front of them who invaded their motherland with hatred eyes.
If you want to pass here, you must at least step through their bodies!
The hand-to-hand combat has been fought, and letting the Japanese enter twenty meters away is no longer so scary for the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army. Some people have long forgotten what fear is. Faced with these jackal-like enemies, they even felt a vague excitement. If they kill these jackals, their families will be preserved.
"Throw!"
Grenades were raised from the sky, and hundreds of grenades were thrown out in one breath. Although they could not match the power of the 150mm caliber howitzer, they could not be ignored when they fell into the Japanese army with intensive charges.
"kill!"
In order to save ammunition, Yao Chaolun swung a big blade and jumped out of the trench and rushed down.
Behind him, the big sword platoon that had been prepared had long been roaring and rushed towards the charge of the Japanese army.
Major Furong, who was commanding this battle, saw from the telescope that his troops were actually beaten back by the opponent. He spent so many shells and finally rushed up. As a result, he threw hundreds of grenades and swung the big blade and drove them off.
"Silly pig, stupid pig..."
The three infantry squadrons charged repeatedly and artillery support. After fighting for a long time, they were unable to take the position. This was simply a shame for the 63rd Regiment!
The fierce fighting was unfolding on the mountainside. The big swords in the hands of the Sichuan army officers and soldiers collided with the bayonets in the hands of the Japanese. The splashing sparks and steel were rubbed against the sharp sound, and the big sword slashed on the bones, and the bayonet pierced the flesh and the dull sound of the body.
"Tortoise son, Sun. You are immortal Banban..." The typical Sichuan people cursed, screams caused by severe pain, howling death... all kinds of voices mixed together, which was creepy.
The Japanese army retreated and left hundreds of corpses. The 745th Regiment also paid a huge price for casualties. They defended Puyang Mountain and also exerted the dignity of the Sichuan Army.
The signs for Hankou, the Security Command, and the Honorary First Division have been prepared, but because the troops are not in place, the signs have not been hung yet.
However, the appointment of Leng Feng as the commander of Hankou Security has been issued, which is the official appointment of the Military Commission. Its duties are mainly for the defense and security work in Hankou and Hanyang areas, supervision of public security and anti-enemy special forces.
At the same time, the Hankou Security Command was under the jurisdiction of the Wuhan Garrison Commander General Office, and his current immediate boss was replaced by Chen Cixiu, known as the "little chairman".
However, this is his public office. In fact, he is still under the Fifth War Zone and has already taken office as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Fifth War Zone, ranking only after Xu Yanmou.
Chen Cixiu probably knew the inside story, so he didn't ask Leng Feng to report it to him. He just called to congratulate him.
Leng Feng did not underestimate the "little chairman". He was very polite and respectful in his words, and even thanked him for the official residence he prepared for him.
The two major forces of the Huangpu Group around Chiang Kai-shek, He Jingzhi and Chen Cixiu, and He Jingzhi were close to Japan. Leng Feng naturally disliked it. Besides, there were many small filthies before, so he naturally disliked even more. Chen Cixiu's civil engineering system is relatively honest and self-disciplined, so he can be closer to him.
He would not turn to any faction, but it would not prevent him from making friends with others.
Leng Feng is not so stupid that he makes enemies everywhere.
