Chapter 14 Tickets for Taierzhuang Three-Day Tour (Part 2)
After stopping Yu Juncai's attempt to go into battle himself.
Cheng Jiaji asked someone to call Xing Yusheng, the deputy commander of the 199th Regiment.
Xing Yusheng was originally a battalion commander in the Sichuan Army. He was injured in the late stage of the Battle of Songhu and was sent to Nanjing to recuperate.
After Nanjing fell, he escaped from Nanjing under the protection of several old subordinates.
He ran to southern Zhejiang to join the 7th Independent Regiment of the Third War Zone at that time. Because he had few brothers under his command, he only became the deputy company commander.
Later, the Seventh Regiment was incorporated into the 16th Army, and Xing Yusheng naturally became a deputy battalion commander of the 174th Brigade of the 16th Army.
This man had been in the army of Liu Xiang of the Sichuan Army for more than ten years, and he had grown from a seventeen-year-old recruit to a captain battalion commander.
If we really talk about the number of wars, if he says second in the current Independent One Hundred Brigade, no one dares to recognize first.
But this person has a problem with that, the veteran is too harsh and always plays tricks no matter what he does.
But this cannot be blamed for this. The Sichuan army fought a civil war in Sichuan for twenty years.
Except for a few tragic events, most of the situations are just to behave and to engage in armed and peaceful gatherings.
The war in Sichuan often involves the two sides dispatching tens of thousands of troops, fighting for dozens of days, with less than a thousand casualties.
And fighting and stopping, enemies and friends are unpredictable. When they often fight, friendly forces become enemies, and enemy forces become friendly forces.
After being in such an army for more than ten years, it would be strange if it was not a soldier.
However, Xing Yusheng was very bloody in the battle against Japan, otherwise he would not have been seriously injured in the Battle of Shanghai.
This time, Cheng Jiaji chose him to take the lead, and he wanted to use his slick combat style.
"As long as these two battalions survive this morning, I will let other troops retreat you by noon. Remember it. After rushing in, I will first occupy a piece of territory controlled by the Japanese without caring about it. Then I will stabilize it and stop acting rashly. Take out your Sichuan Army's civil war, don't fight with the Japanese, just stay there!" Cheng Jiaji was not prepared to fight with the Japanese in a real head-on battle.
In his opinion, as long as his troops could hold back the Japanese, it would be enough.
As for recapturing the entire Taierzhuang, let’s talk about it when the big counterattack is over.
"What if the Japanese attacked fiercely?" Xing Yusheng asked.
"Then give up the frontal position and play hide-and-seek with the Japanese in the village. Remember that your main purpose is not to regain that village, it is the work of the Second Army and the Twentieth Army. All we have to do is to hold the Japanese and let them occupy the entire village." Cheng Jiaji did not intend to pull up this little capital and tossed it all again before the last moment.
Seeing Xing Yusheng understand the troops and entered Taierzhuang, Cheng Jiaji then turned around and pointed back to the brigade headquarters.
He felt relieved after arranging this place. As for Jiangfeng's cavalry battalion, he was not worried much.
As long as the cavalry camp comes and goes like the wind, I believe the Japanese will have no way to deal with them.
He was relieved about Jiang Feng, an ambitious subordinate, in terms of military capabilities.
It was still where the 199th Regiment got off the train just now, Gao Shiqi and Wen Songyuan were already preparing to get off the train with the rear team of the 100th Independent Brigade.
Wen Songyuan is now a dignified lieutenant colonel officer, and he is the commander of a regiment, with 1,6700 troops under his command.
However, this former evil young man in Nan'an obviously lacks the awareness of being a soldier, especially an officer.
At the moment of the battle, he actually fought eight times on the train with several battalion commanders on the train.
Perhaps it was because of his indifferent appearance that the two hundred regiments of the emperor influenced the brothers.
Compared with the general pre-war tensions of the 199th Regiment's troops.
The brothers of the 200th regiment seemed much more relaxed and calm. Not only did some of the platoon leaders also beat Park K to drink.
Even the soldiers were mostly drinking sour plays and fighting, and the entire army did not have the tense atmosphere that the enemy should have at present.
As soon as the train stopped, Wen Songyuan revealed the true nature of the bad boy on Nan'an Street.
He kicked the mahjong on the table and shouted loudly: "Everything is quick, I'll line up at the door of the car in fifteen minutes. If anyone misses the matter, I'll knock on his sand can!" Several battalion commanders hurriedly took the order and left.
Of course, no one mentioned the issue that the group leader’s gambling account has not been paid yet.
Fifteen minutes later, nearly 3,000 officers and soldiers were divided into four parts and assembled under the train.
Gao Shiying frowned as lightly as before, and looked at the four clearly divided groups of officers and soldiers in front of him with a slightly tilted head.
The first pile of soldiers were naturally from the 200th regiment under Wen Songyuan. This was also the most inconsistent group. Whether it was veterans, new soldiers or officers, they all looked like they were lazy and dying.
Gao Shiying looked at this military appearance and his frown became even tighter.
Gao Shiying wanted to say that Wen Songyuan, who was still smelling alcohol in his mouth, could not hold back his face.
He was able to get involved in Cheng Jiaji's group, and even to have a status today, I would like to thank Wen Songyuan for his recommendation.
Let’s not talk about this for now. Just talking about the relationship between Cheng and Wen is enough to prevent Gao Shiying from being guilty of this thorny leader who caused trouble from time to time.
Everyone in the Independent Brigade officers knew it.
Although Yu Juncai and Gao Shiqi were the deputy brigade commander and the other were the chief of staff, Yu Juncai was also the leader of the main regiment, and he looked at the officials who were bigger than Wen Songyuan.
But in front of Cheng Jiaji, Wen Songyuan, who is careless and careless, is his true first confidant.
You should know that Cheng Jiaji and Wen Songyuan are brothers who grew up together since childhood. This kind of affection is something that other people who became monks halfway through can never compare with.
These days, Wen Song is in Xuzhou, but he has caused a lot of trouble. If it weren't for Cheng Jiaji's cover, Wen Song would definitely have the glory he has today.
With one floor, who would be willing to offend Wen Songyuan, the entire Independent One Hundred Brigade?
The second pile looks much better.
This is a part of the 199th Regiment, with hundreds of people waiting in a neat and silent manner.
This Yu Juncai is worthy of being a member of the elite troops of the Central Army, and the team he leads is in order.
The third pile is the brigade direct team led by Gao Shiying himself.
Although the troops did not have the troops of the 199th Regiment to be purged, they still looked like they were.
The fewest people left, only three or four hundred people were wearing the same colored new military uniform.
These were three new recruit companies from the Independent 100 Brigade before getting on board.
Gao Shiying didn't care about them, just glanced at them for a few seconds.
Anyway, he thought that according to Cheng Jiaji's habit, these three or four hundred people would definitely be supplemented with each other after this battle.
Their current military appearance and posture are really worth noting.
After letting the troops sit there and rest, Gao Shiying and Wen Songyuan took more than a dozen guards, rode on war horses and rushed towards the brigade headquarters under the guidance of an adjutant from the front of the brigade headquarters who came to greet him.
At this moment, the Japanese spy lurking in Xuzhou sent a secret telegram to the 10th Japanese Division who was fighting against the Chinese army on the front line of Taierzhuang.
In this telegram that was accused of seriously misleading the 10th Division's combat operations after the war only stated that a brigade of the Chinese army had been sent to the Taierzhuang front line.
However, for some reason, the number of people in this brigade was not specified.
At that time, the 100 Independent Brigades invested nearly 5,000 troops on the Taierzhuang front line, while under normal circumstances, only about 2,000 or 3,000 troops were placed in one brigade of the Chinese army.
This small intelligence negligence will immediately cause great trouble to the Japanese.
At the same time, the Fifth War Officer also received a telegram from the Independent Brigade.
The general meaning of the telegram is said.
On the morning of April 5, 2018, the 100 independent brigades arrived in Taierzhuang, and one of them had already begun fighting with the Japanese army.
Looking at the newborn rising sun, Cheng Jiaji was not feeling relaxed.
This is Taierzhuang, not the big king farm that can be sustained in a melee.
The Japanese have all kinds of aircraft and heavy artillery on this battlefield, and they are not that easy to deal with.
If you can't stand it and lead to a complete collapse, you will be a sinner who will never be redeemed for by death.
