Chapter 57: The Battle of Tonggu (4)

.Tonggu, the 93rd Division.

When Cheng Jiaji said he had previously said that he had waited and looked at it, a full ten hours had passed. The Japanese army, which continued to implement the established policy of eroding step by step, had almost advanced to the edge of the retreat deadline that Cheng Jiaji had set for the troops in advance. However, the Fifty-Eighth Division, which had been missing for nearly thirty hours, had not yet emerged from the air.

In this way, not only were the young officers in the basement anxious like ants on the hot pan, but Cheng Jiaji, who was originally the most confident in Zhang Yuling and the 58th Division, could not help but feel guilty about Digu.

"Teacher! Telegram! Telegram! Telegram from the Fifty-Eighth Division!" The arrival of a major officer who was waving and copying newspapers while shouting, brought vitality into the battle room that was dull and stagnant.

Commander Lu, who could no longer control his emotions, snatched the piece of tissue from his subordinates, and did not pass it to Cheng Jiaji, the highest-ranking Cheng Jiaji, as usual, as he usually did. Instead, he read it on the spot: "Brother Haoran, both the two men," said Maoqi, who had forced his troops to enter the supply point behind the Japanese Second Division. He plans to launch a surprise attack in an hour. I hereby inform you. This is really reckless. I hope you can forgive me! Zhang Yuling, deputy commander of the 74th Army, was eleven o'clock in the evening on June 24, 1942."

Cheng Jiaji burst out laughing halfway through hearing this: "This Zhang Yuling is so crazy! I still want to let him go? He is clearly demonstrating to me. If I dare to come to Tonggu, he dares to make a fortune with Maoqi. This is a competing with me! However, crazy is crazy, but crazy is cute! If there are more domineering generals like him who are as good as his tactical vision, not only follow the superiors, but also dare to hold life and death outside the war, this war may not be necessary for eight years!" The last sentence was expressed. Cheng Jiaji, who was proud of himself, was shocked. Why did he lose the secrets of heaven again?

Fortunately, Cheng Jiaji was just muttering to himself, and most of the officers around him were wandering around, but there was someone who could hear it clearly. How dare he question the superior in front of him! That made him get over.

"Seat the seat." Teacher Lu urged excitedly.

"What are you waiting for? Fight back on the whole line! In addition to leaving a camp reserve team, the other troops will be on the top and the artillery fire must be fierce. This time, the waist of the Second Division must be flashed!" Cheng Jiaji waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Call back to Zhang Yuling, two fools, a pair of fools!

"There are only these eight words?" the major who sent the telegram confirmed in surprise.

"For only these eight words, it is enough for Zhang Yuling!" Cheng Jiaji replied with a sonorous word.

The result of the Chinese army's joint action was that all the doubts that had been plaguing Maruyama Masayoshi were reasonably explained in just a few minutes. Of course, this way of solving the doubts made people feel even more depressed.

"Captain of the division, can we order the Third Brigade to regain Maoqi and reopen the supply line!" Division Chief of Staff Nagai Iwaizumi suggested.

After glanced at the young officer leader of the Second Division, who was always under the name of the middle and lower levels of generals and soldiers, Maruyama gave a negative answer: "Colonel Iwazumi, if we do what you said, it just happened to be the Chinese army's wishes to drag this battle into a protracted battle. Dividing troops from both ends is the worst, the worst!" Iwazumi's arrogance greatly reduced, which made Lieutenant General Jiushan's mood improve a little. Maruyama, who deeply understood the current and noble principle of the war, continued in a gentle tone as much as possible: "The third brigade should be adjusted or adjusted."

If you come back, let them come to attack the city. With enough troops, our division can take down Tonggucheng in the shortest time. Only by solving the enemy in front of us can we have the strength to deal with the war below. Otherwise, the Second Division will be swallowed up by Chinese troops from all directions at any time! From now on, each division will no longer report the casualties to the division headquarters. No matter how many people died or how many equipment I damaged, I just need to be together! Tongguqi!" The lieutenant general with a harsh voice and expression roared like a mad tiger. Perhaps, this is the true face of Maruyama Masayoshi who had participated in the execution of the Huanggutun incident!

Faced with the abnormal division commander's sternness, Yanquan, who was usually swaying in his teeth, was so scared that he didn't dare to let out a sigh.

It was also from this time that the tragic battle between the ancient times was revealed.

With the counterattack after wave after wave of the Second Division, known as the tough and brave combat style, the attack momentum of the Chinese defenders was quickly bounced back. Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army invaded the original position of the Chinese army. In the face of the absolutely superior enemy, the new and old soldiers of the 93rd Division were extremely brave. Most of them would rather die in their own positions than take a step back. But war is a contest of strength, courage and determination.

Although the heart can manage the affairs for a while, it cannot last long. After about an hour of tug-of-war, the front line moved forward step by step towards the center of the city as before. However, every inch of land left behind by the Japanese army was painted with blood from the dead officers and soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies. So that when the officers and soldiers who survived in this battle all used the thrilling adjective Blood Land when recalling the battle with the ancient city.

"The pressure on the frontiers is too great. It's better to generate electricity for the 58th Division as soon as possible and let their entire army come over!" Commander Lu, who did not receive a response immediately, had to settle for the second best: "The 58th Division can send one to attack and support Tonggu!"

It is not a fault for being unable to hold back. No matter who is surrounded, he sees his friendly army close to him, but he is just working hard to repair fortifications on the spot, and he doesn't send a soldier to come. If he can't complain or be angry, then there will be a ghost.

"Brother Fengyun, I will not send this telegram that forced the 58th Division to move closer to Tonggu. It would be useless to send it, and it only forced them to turn off the radio again. Since Zhang Yuling sacrificed his life for the sake of betting, it would be difficult for him to change his mind in the middle. Besides, putting aside the expected next step and encircling the Second Division, there is a 58th Division in Maoqi to support the Japanese army's follow-up troops, so that we can maintain this situation." Commander Lu understood the truths that Cheng Jiaji said, but he lost nearly one regiment of combat soldiers in two hours. It was really heartbreaking and terrifying.

"I obey the orders of the seat. At worst, I can just destroy all the divisions and I will die in battle. Anyway, everyone has never thought about how long can they live out of Tonggu? But have you ever thought about how long can Tonggu last if they fight like this now?" There are actually two types of standard soldiers. One ignores all the rules and habits, and everything they do is for victory on the battlefield. Zhang Yuling is a typical example. One follows the rules and is within reasonable and unreasonable rules and regulations. There are many such people in the army. Lieutenant General Huang and the Commander Lu in front of him should be classified as such. People generally call the former genius and the latter as mediocre people. Lieutenant-century people are the real backbone and foundation of an army. Those geniuses who have never appeared in the world are just lucky people who step on their backs.

"Of course this kind of fighting style is not good now. Let's land like this? Let the Japanese army be put up. The troops are divided into small groups based on powerful terrain, either attacking on their own or defending the land. In short, we can only be able to control the Japanese. But we are afraid that we can't stay in this division anymore, and the goal here is too big. I mean, we will divide the war zone and the existing troops into two, and we each bring some staff members to be responsible for a region. If there is any land operation, we will discuss it." When it comes to negotiation, of course, it is Cheng Jiaji's self-righteous word. Although Commander Lu has always been very respectful to him, after all, Lu Fengyun is the main leader of the 93rd Division, and appropriate respect is still necessary.

Lu Jingguo was also a man who had been through the battlefield for a long time. The reason why he did not use a move before, but instead tried to push Cheng Jiaji was naturally as if he had seen the fire. At that time, there were too many people in the 93rd Division, and in the existing controlled areas, he could not put on such an urban guerrilla posture. In war, reality often means cruelty!

Lu Jingguo, who suppressed his inner grievance, raised a new question: "The Japanese army has not sealed the gap in the south so far. It's okay to hold the troops in their hands. If this is scattered, it's all surrounded by the Japanese army. What if sheep are released, what should I do!"

It was obvious that Cheng Jiaji, who had already been confident, said with a sinister face: "I have greeted the Expeditionary Force headquarters, the defenders of Mandalay and Lashio. Any soldiers and officers of the 93rd Division who did not have your own roads will only be judged by the 93rd Division outside the ancient city. In addition, I also sent a secret telegram to Chongqing, asking them to take care of the families of the 93rd Division living in the local area based on the addresses of the suicide notes written by the officers and soldiers who were empty to Chongqing, and let the governments in various places take care of the families of the 93rd Division living in the local area in counties and cities, so that they can make real progress in the future. In addition, I will also call immediately.

He urged the officials of the Military Commission to strive to encourage the officers and soldiers before the troops were dispersed. The first two things must be asked to announce to the army. Let’s do our best to do our best and let the will of heaven. Fengyun, my brother may be judging the gentleman’s abstinence from the villain’s heart and being mean and rude. Please forgive me for the brothers of the 93rd Division!” As soon as Cheng Jiaji finished speaking, his feet suddenly joined together. He respectfully stood at attention and saluted the military salute to Commander Lu, who had not yet fully understood the situation. The commander’s great gift was so scared that Commander Lu was so busy returning the salute.

In fact, Cheng Jiaji said it heavy, and Lu Jingguo did not listen easily. To be honest, Lu Jingguo also admitted that the methods Cheng Jiaji said were all good methods to solve problems, but they were too insulting.

Just imagine the three-pronged approach of military law, family affection, and fame. The Chongqing government still holds the future of the families of all the soldiers in the division.

Faced with these, even as a dignified major general, Lu Jingguo felt that the sword of Damocles that could fall off in minutes was added above his head, forcing him not to dare to have a slight greed for life. The psychological pressure that ordinary lower-level officers and soldiers had to bear was imagined. This also gave Lu Jingguo a new estimate of Cheng Jiaji's cunning methods. The telegrams he had communicated with all parties, and the commander of the first division who was wandering around in front of the radio station every day, did not receive any sound in advance.

! Could it be that the people among the key personnel in the radio station have climbed up? It must be like this! Alas, no wonder they are famous all over the world and prominent for a while if they are less than thirty years old. This ruthlessness alone is not comparable to that of themselves! The more Lu Jingguo thinks, the more afraid he becomes, the more panicked he becomes. Even his eyes of Cheng Jiaji become dodging and full of awe. He is so careful about Lu Jingguo's little thoughts that he can't put on the stage, but Cheng Jiaji, who is foolish with Minister Chen and General Luo, is naturally invisible.

If there is another way to go, why would I be this ugly person? But it would be a miracle to be able to survive until this moment with 8,000 weak brigades. If this is not the case, would I have to watch the troops scatter?

Later, the Supreme Authority sent a telegram that made Cheng Jiaji feel very familiar: ": "...... After the Second Japanese Division, the 2nd Division of the Japanese invaders had been completely cut off by our 58th Division and had become an isolated army. At the same time, the main force of our expeditionary army was attacking the enemy. If our 93rd Division could be determined to live and die with the same ancient times, it would be able to destroy the powerful enemy and obtain supreme glory!"

Looking at the five people on the telegram, I was so excited that the army was shocked. Cheng Jiaji was mixed in his heart. It seemed that the historical process was really a bit messy. Otherwise, how could the supreme authorities use the telegram to the Changsha defenders on their heads? Compared with this extremely intimate tone, the order sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs to everyone who was in a military and ancient defenders seemed to have mediocre reactions. The officers and soldiers knew that it was not the first time that the Ministry of Military Affairs came to the attack on the promotion of the first-level military rank when a certain unit was in a desperate situation. There was nothing to be happy about.

When we were divided before dawn, Cheng Jiaji, who was finally the lieutenant general, even joked with Commander Lu: "Brother Fengyun, if we both died in this battle, the Military Commission will follow the customs to chase us the first level of the Jin Dynasty, which would set a world record for two generals who died in a city?"

Perhaps because he was thinking about it, Commander Lu also became open-minded: "It's not embarrassing to open this record, I'm dead right." He pointed at a group of newly-colonels who were promoted to the top of the two, and said earnestly: "We have been together for so many years and have to fight each other. I have only one word to explain to you. The War of Resistance Against Japan has been fighting for almost five years. There are only generals who died in the Central Army. Not that general has been captured and surrendered. Never let my 93rd Division start the process! Remember! Remember!"

Five or six new major generals were crying and obeying orders.
