Chapter 44: Offensive and Defensive Battle of Qinzhou (9)
. Cheng Jiaji and Lieutenant General Huang hurried to the key defense points of the New 18th Army between Luwu and Nalong, Xiaogushan position. When they saw the officers and soldiers of the 285th Regiment of the New 72nd Division stationed here, everyone was carrying water-filled equipment and fighting hard against the accumulated water in the trenches. This scene made Cheng Jiaji sigh in his heart, what a magnificent picture of flood fighting and rescue!
As soon as Lieutenant General Huang and Cheng Jiaji got on the position, they faced a small problem. At present, the thousands of officers and soldiers became all muddy monkeys. They forced the two military captains to find the 285th Regiment who should have come to greet them in person.
"Thirteen, the rain is heavy, but it has only been less than two hours. Why is it like this here?" After spinning the position for a while, it was finally General Huang, the old commander of the 28th Regiment, who was sharp-eyed and recognized the leader of the group who was personally digging a drainage ditch with his subordinates.
This 285th Regiment is the top main regiment of the 72nd Division. The regiment commander is the deputy commander of the division's infantry, which is Huang Qi, who was called the wasp by Wen Songyuan when he was guarding Nanchang. Because this person is Lieutenant General Huang's uncle brother, he is thirteen. Lieutenant General Huang, who has always been particular about private matters, was surprised and called out his cousin's ranking.
"Sixth Brother, you are here. I don't know what the soil on this mountain is going on. It's usually very hard, but when it comes to water, it collapses landslides. In addition, our group's fortifications are built around the mountains. When it rains heavily, the water will flow down one layer. OK! This rain has collapsed two trenches from my trenches. If I don't want to drain the water, in less than a day, my thousands of brothers will have to stand under the bare mound of soil and wait for the Japanese to be shot by the Japanese. The rain became heavier and he was talking hard. At this little while Huang Qi was talking, he was forced to interrupt several times.
In fact, when he saw the flood on the position, Cheng Jiaji vaguely felt that he had been missing something important. 1^6^k^Xiao^Shuo^号^号^号 until Huang Qi mentioned that there was a big problem with the soil. Cheng Jiaji suddenly realized that he was very sorry for the root of the story. He was from Guangxi, so why did he forget even the red soil without water?
Cheng Jiaji knew all the things he knew, and he suddenly had a new idea in his mind: "The military commander, the terrain of the Japanese positions at the foot of the mountain is much lower than ours, but the soil quality is the same."
There is no need to be heavy hits when the drum is ringing. Although Cheng Jiaji is not clear, Lieutenant General Huang, who has a deeper understanding of Cheng Jiaji, quickly understood the meaning of his words.
General Huang said lightly, "Thirteen, send a few smart brothers. While it is dark and rainy, go to the Japanese position at the foot of the mountain to observe it. See if their place is more flooded. Go and go back quickly."
"Yes! Don't worry, Brother Six. I'll pick the best scout, half an hour is enough." If others might not be able to hear the signs from General Huang's tone. But Huang Qi and his brother had been dealing with him for decades. There would be no way to hear the trembling voice contained in General Huang's voice, which was the result of forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart. Although he didn't understand, he didn't want to understand why the cousin was so nervous in the Japanese trenches and was not reliable. But in Huang Qi's life dictionary, this cousin who supported him all the way was his Huang Qi. Since his brother was interested in things, he could not do it perfunctorily.
After Huang Qi left, Lieutenant General Huang said to Cheng Jiaji worriedly: "Haoran, even if we tell you exactly, the amount of troops we have in our hands may not be enough."
"Brother Peimin, it's time. Just drag the Eighth Regiment. Whether Lingshan is enough?" Cheng Jiaji said with a rare solemn attitude.
Zao was mentally prepared, and Lieutenant General Huang was still very scared when he heard what Cheng Jiaji said. Where is Lingshan? Not to mention, all the supplies of the New Eighteenth Army were gathered there. More importantly, as long as Lingshan is in the hands of the Alice, if the war is unfavorable, the New Eighteenth Army can still retreat as long as it goes upstream and back to Nanning, or go downstream to Guiping and Wuzhou. On the contrary, the New Eighteenth Army will really have no way out.
"If things are not done, at worst, you can open a bloody road and return to Nanning from the Nanqin line! Brother Peimin, I don't believe that a Fourth Division can block the tens of thousands of people under your command, and I don't know what retreat is." Cheng Jiaji felt confident when he said this. So, he took advantage of the "friendly trade" of the two armies to understand the internal and external information of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army. If this veteran Japanese division with high training and excellent equipment has a strict supervision from the boss, it will be no problem to fight positional battles under general conditions. Once the two armies fight to the death, the Fourth Division will always have few ordinary people. He would rather fight until blood flows into rivers, corpses and seas of blood than to admit defeat. Not to mention, blocking the New Eighteenth Army's troops' desperate attack when they are running wildly.
Cheng Jiaji boasted that the New Eighteenth Army did not know what retreated was, but it was true that it was true. Since the Battle of Fujinshan, this army has almost never suffered a defeat. After winning one battle after another, the officers and soldiers of the New Eighteenth Army will naturally fight higher and higher. It is no exaggeration to say that perhaps in terms of hard indicators such as training, equipment, and individual combat power, the New Eighteenth Army cannot be regarded as the first-class strong army in the Chinese army, but if we talk about the arrogance in the bones of the soldiers of the New Eighteenth Army, the flesh and blood of the Japanese. Sorry, looking at the nearly 100 armies in China, there are really not many who can compete with the New Eighteenth Army for a day.
"Wait until the 13th faction, let's talk about it later!" Lieutenant General Huang also knew that his troops were highly morale and united, and dared to fight to the death. But this time, the New Eighteenth Army faced a Japanese army with a whole division. Compared to fighting hard, Lieutenant General Huang was more inclined to discuss that he and Cheng Jiaji had just discussed the plan to add another piece of fire to the Nanqin Line, which was already full of firewood, and to use two regiments to strengthen the power of the New One-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-Two-
In the mind of Lieutenant General Huang, who has a somewhat conservative tactical thinking, he could not hide the thought of Cheng Jiaji. To be honest, Cheng Jiaji did not agree with this. In Cheng Jiaji's mind, any combat force that could reach a main battle of hundreds of thousands. Once the formation was set up, the room for expansion and contraction between the two sides from the local to the whole was actually extremely limited. Most of the time, retreating or looking back is often the prelude to the collapse of the front line. It is precisely with this idea that when the crisis comes, Cheng Jiaji, who advocates attack, instinctively chose to fight back with all his might.
"Sixth brother, deputy, the Japanese positions at the foot of the mountain are almost becoming vast. The Japanese are clamoring to transfer the positions." Huang Qi, who came at the right time, accidentally stopped an unprecedented fierce debate between Cheng Jiaji and Lieutenant General Huang.
"Military Commander, the military headquarters sent an emergency telegram from the camp." When Cheng Jiaji was trying to pick up the topic again, he chased the emergency telegram from the 285th Regiment headquarters, which made him swallow up the words he said.
"The newly formed 18th Army Huang and Cheng two commanders.
In order to rescue the Japanese Nakamura troops surrounded by Nachen, the Japanese Imamura Division divided their troops to attack in the rain, and their offensive was very fierce. The camp had ordered the troops on both sides of the Nanqin Highway to fight with all their strength. In order to ensure the victory of this battle, the main force of your unit will launch a rapid attack on the face-to-face attack before 11:00 pm. It is necessary to make the division at the bottom of the mountain, without one soldier and one soldier to transfer north. At the same time, the strategic position of your unit's 120 division, located on the front line of Xiaodong Town, is crucial. From now on, the division will temporarily return to the camp to direct command. I hope that the entire army of your unit will carry forward the invincible spirit shown in the Battle of Nanchang, and strive to achieve success!
Military Commission Camp Guilin.
On December 25, 20:40, the 18th year of the Republic of China.”
"Haoran, it seems that you are right from the overall situation. Thirteen, you personally inform the Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu of the Military Department and ask him to formulate a general plan for a full-line counterattack within an hour. Also, please ask Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu to order the frontier troops of the entire army to conduct comprehensive reconnaissance of the Japanese troops in front of him immediately. Tell all the captains, no matter how many people I lose, in an hour, I want the basic situation of all positions of the Fourth Division, the more detailed the better." This is the precious thing of Lieutenant General Huang as an orthodox soldier, no matter how he had thoughts before.
.As long as the order from the superior is issued, regardless of whether it is what he advocates, he will implement it wholeheartedly without giving a discount. In the eyes of later generations, this advantage may be just the minimum ethics that a soldier should abide by. However, in the anti-Japanese battlefield where there are always senior generals, the unified deployment of superiors due to small groups or individual interests, is a very rare virtue. It can be said that if the Chinese generals on the anti-Japanese battlefield can put their position as positive as Lieutenant General Huang, perhaps this war will be much easier.
The battalion director clearly wanted to destroy the New Eighteenth Army! This famous military strategist is really a master who does not take other people's capital seriously. Let's see! With my young master here, the New Eighteenth Army is not, the 5th Army under Kunlun Pass, which is allowed to destroy the smuggling of the Fifth Army. I have to create a miracle that not only hurts the Fourth Division, but also protects the vitality of the troops. Cheng Jiaji is not as good as Lieutenant General Huang, and he is still very petty on some "principles".
