Accompanied by Lin Yanni, Gao Jiu left the MIIS Office and Director Feng sent them out of the office building.

Standing in front of the office building and looking at Gao Jiu's back, Director Feng shook his head slightly and sighed.

He felt very sorry that time was the key to this battle in Nanchang City. The earlier the Xinfeng River Bridge was blown up, the more beneficial it would be to annihilate the Japanese army under Nanchang City. If Gao Jiu could participate in this battle, he would be fully sure that Gao Jiu could blow up the bridge in a very short time.

The Chief of Staff handed over this mission to the 29th Army. With the combat effectiveness and morale of the 29th Army, it is difficult to ensure that they can complete the mission on time.

However, he was just a small colonel chief, and the decision was not in his hands.

Yudong County.

Yudong County is located in the southeast of Nanchang, 153 kilometers away from Nanchang City. The 62nd Division of the 29th Army of the National Army is currently stationed here.

Just when Gao Jiu and others left the Ninth War Zone Command, Wu Tianming, commander of the 62nd Division of the 29th Army of the National Army, received a direct order from the theater command to organize troops to blow up the Xinfeng River Bridge.

Commander Wu Tianming is 37 years old this year, a medium-sized figure, with thick eyebrows and big eyes on a Chinese character, a high nose bridge, and a gray hair on his temples, looking very talented. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that this person's eyes are very flexible, his eyes are a little flickering, giving people the feeling of cunning or sensuality.

Wang Wenxue, the chief of staff of the 62nd Division, was 38 years old. He was a small man with a round face, his eyes turned faster, and the word "smart" was written directly on his face.

In Wu Tianming's office, Wang Wenxue, chief of staff of the 62nd Division, said: "What does it mean to be a division seat, a division seat (the chief of staff of the Fifth War Zone)? The distance between the Xinfeng River Bridge and the 112th Division of the 85th Army is nearly 20 kilometers away from us. Why should we carry out this mission?"

Wu Tianming was drinking tea. When he heard this, he rolled his eyes, put down the teacup in his hand, and said disdainfully: "Do you still need to ask? Xinfeng River Bridge is an important node of Nanxun Railway's traffic, and the Japanese army's garrison was very tight. Gaoqiao Town, less than 30 kilometers away from Xinfeng River Bridge, is stationed with a Japanese reinforcement corps. Once the fight starts, their cavalry and mechanized troops will be able to arrive at Xinfeng River Bridge for reinforcements in less than an hour.

The Xinfeng River Bridge is built so strong that it only takes half an hour to eliminate the Japanese troops guarding the bridge and blow up the bridge. Who can do this?

It is obvious that the troops sent not only will not destroy the bridge, but will also be besieged by the Japanese army, and will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Speaking of this, he felt a little indignant. His body, which was originally trapped in the sofa, straightened his back and waved his arms and gestured: "This is not the most critical. They have formulated a plan to annihilate the Japanese army under the city of Nanchang. If they cannot defeat the bridge, they will bear the responsibility for the failure of the entire combat plan.

The 112th Division of the 85th Army was their Guangxi Army. How could he use their Guangxi Army’s direct line?

Therefore, they will hand over the task to us. At that time, if Nanchang is lost, they will say that it is because we did not blow up the Xinfeng River Bridge, which has missed the opportunity to fight and put the shit basin on our heads. What is obviously hidden in this is that there is evil intention."

Wang Wenxuewen said: "Master, since that's the case, what should I do about this?"

Wu Tianming said: "What are you worried about? The War Zone Command will directly send orders to our division, which is not in accordance with the rules. Let's listen to the military and report this matter to the military captain and let him decide! Anyway, without the military captain's orders, we will not implement the war Zone Command's orders."

Wang Wenxue smiled and complimented: "The teacher is very smart. We have reported the military throne. Even if there is a problem in the future, the military throne will be able to bear the thunder for us."

Wu Tianming said: "You should report to the Chief of Staff first, listen to what he says, and then I will come forward."

Wang Wenxue nodded and said, "Leave room for nothing, it's better. I'll call the senator (Chief of Staff of the 29th Army)."

No wonder they thought so. The Fifth War Zone has many factions, the 29th Army is the Central Army, and the top leaders of the Fifth War Zone are composed of the Guangxi masters. Wu Tianming and others will naturally think that they are giving the Central Army a small suit!

This time they really misunderstood the Ninth War Zone Command. The reason why the Chief of Staff made such a determination was because the 29th Army was the Central Army, well-equipped and well-trained. Moreover, since the war started, only a small number of the 29th Army had contact with the Japanese army, and the troops suffered very little losses, were intact, and had strong military strength.

The reason why the 112th Division of the 85th Army of the Guangxi Division was not mobilized because in the subsequent plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army under Nanchang City, the 112th Division of the 85th Army was used to cut off the Japanese retreat route and to block the reinforcements of the Japanese army who detoured from other directions.

To be fair, during the Battle of Wuhan, a considerable number of generals of the National Army were still dedicated. Most of the ordinary National Army officers and soldiers fought bravely and were not afraid of sacrifice. They fulfilled the responsibilities of a Chinese soldier.

After about an hour left, Wang Wenxue returned to Wu Tianming's office. He said depressedly: "Second, after I reported to the Chief of Staff of the 29th Army (Chief of Staff of the 29th Army), the senator said he would report to the senator and argue with the theater command.

The attendant just called back and said that the military captain had discussed with the Chief of Staff of the War Zone. The military captain had agreed to the arrangement of the theater command, and the mission was handed over to our division to complete the task. The military captain gave a dead order to complete the task at all costs. He also emphasized that Nanchang could not be captured by the Japanese army in any case, otherwise the entire battle situation of the Wuhan Battle would be seriously affected, and the military captain could not afford the responsibility."

Wu Tianming frowned, then sank his body into the sofa, leaned against the sofa's back, and his eyes rolled around a few times. Just as he was about to say something, the phone ringing on the desk rang.

Wang Wenxue picked up the phone and heard the voice inside. He immediately handed the phone to Wu Tianming. He said, "Teacher, the military poster is looking for you."

Wu Tianming took the phone call, immediately changed into a smiley face, and said, "Standar, you said, yes, yes, thank you, yes."

A few minutes later, Wu Tianming put down the phone and said happily: "The War Zone Command found the Military Commission. This matter was suppressed by the Military Commission, and the military captains were helpless. It seems that we must implement this order.

However, the military throne has agreed with the theater. After fighting this battle, we can report more losses and will receive double compensation."

Wang Wenxue said: "It's good, military thrones have always been fair in their work, so let's fight."

Wu Tianming asked, "How to fight this battle? Who will fight?"

Wang Wenxue said: "I have considered that the Japanese army guarding the Xinfeng River Bridge has a reinforcement squadron, and there is no effect if there are fewer people. My opinion is to let Guan Lie's supplementary regiment go up."

Wu Tianming smiled and said, "We think of going together, so you can assign this task to him."

The supplementary regiment can be seen from the name of the name that they are equivalent to a recruit training regiment, and their main function is to supplement the main force. In addition to the small number of mountain cannons, mortars, light and heavy machine guns used for teaching, the supplementary regiment is built by Hanyang, and its equipment is quite backward.

The supplementary regiment not only has poor equipment and training, but also lacks combat experience. Wu Tianming handed this task to the supplementary regiment, and also had his own considerations. No matter how the battle was fought, even if the supplementary regiment was completely lost, it would not lose the veteran backbone in his army, and it would have little impact on the combat effectiveness of the 62nd Division.

As for the recruits in the supplementary regiment, they will lose if they lose. Anyway, the recruits from all over the country will continue to replenish them.

Wu Tianming's considerations are not unreasonable. The veterans on the battlefield, especially those who have fought wars, are rare. They are the backbone of a unit, and they can only support them on the battlefield.

Of course, Wu Tianming had other considerations. He believed that the task of blowing up the Xinfeng River Bridge could not be completed at all. Instead of losing his main force, it would be better to let the supplementary regiment be used as cannon fodder. Even if the task was not completed and the supplementary regiment lost so many troops, the theater command could not accuse the 62nd Division of the 62nd Division of the failure to do its best.

Therefore, he specially arranged for the supplementary team to be cannon fodder.

The war is so cruel. In history, the Warring States Army in the Warring States Period lost more than 400,000 people, and a considerable number of them were recruits who had just entered the battlefield. Many of them even lost their lives under the bombardment of Japanese planes and artillery fire. The cannon fodder that people often mention refers to the recruits.

Guan Lie is 41 years old, from Zunyi, Guizhou, and is the leader of the 62nd Division's Supplementary Regiment. He is a big man with a height of more than 1.9 meters, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and looks very powerful. It is said that he is the descendant of Guan Gong. He originally lived in Sichuan and came to Guizhou in his lifetime when he was his grandfather. Before the Battle of Wuhan, he led a supplementary regiment to be assigned to the 62nd Division.

The supplementary regiment led by Guan Lie had 1,800 people, all of which were Guizhou soldiers. Wu Tianming strengthened a machine gun platoon and an engineer platoon for them, and asked them to carry out the mission of blowing up the Xinfeng River Bridge.

In the evening of that day, the troops were ready to set off. Guan Lie gathered the troops, and he stood in front of the team and began to mobilize before the war.

The officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment, including Guan Lie himself, basically never fought a war. After coming to the 62nd Division, although they heard about how arrogant the Japanese army was, they had never fought with the Japanese army. At this moment, the morale of the troops was very high. They all had a simple feeling of saving the country and the people, and with an ambition to serve the country, they were ready to fight to the death with the Japanese army.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment were chanting slogans under the leadership of Guan Lie, waving their fists passionately, and the enthusiasm of killing the enemy and serving the country stirred every young heart.

Wang Guimin is 28 years old and is a very capable young man. He is a captain and staff officer in the combat department of the division headquarters, assisting the supplementary regiment in carrying out this combat mission.

Looking at the young faces in the queue who seemed nervous and excited because they were going to the battlefield, Wang Guimin felt very uncomfortable. He knew clearly that although the morale of the officers and soldiers of these supplementary regiments was so high, after actually fighting with the Japanese, facing the fierce artillery fire of the enemy, the comrades around him were blown away by the blown limbs. In the face of the bloody fact, they might soon become depressed. It is hard to say that the troops collapsed quickly, and it is not known that there are still a few young and lively lives that can come back alive.

He sighed and his eyes turned to the sunset in the sky.

The sunset is so gorgeous that a poet might be excited about poetry. However, in Wang Guimin's eyes, the setting sun is as red and dark as red, and his mood is very depressed.

"Everyone has it, turn right and walk in unison." With the command to set off, the officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment embarked on the journey.

Then a majestic singing rang out in the queue:

"The wind and clouds rise, the wind and thunder move, and the sound of the establishment of the Huangpu Army is powerful."

Wuhan, the Military Information Department of the Fifth War Zone.

Director Feng sent someone to Nanchang City to reconnaissance the Japanese army. He was in a very bad mood when he heard that the 62nd Division had actually sent a supplementary regiment to carry out the mission of the Zhaohui Xinfeng River Bridge. He cursed: "Damn Wu Tianming, he will destroy Nanchang City."
Chapter completed!
