You can't leave this wine without it. Li Tianxia had no choice but to pick up the wine glass again and said, "Okay, for the soldiers who sacrificed for us, I wish them a good journey." Cheers to them—"

Shang Zhen's officers didn't know what to say, and they poured Li Tianxia under the table for a while.

This is exactly the result of the 32nd Army, who told him that Gao An didn't work hard in a battle, he deserved it!

Shang Zhen took out Shanxi Fenjiu from under the table, and said to Li Tianxia pretendedly: "Master Li, I still have Shanxi Fenjiu here, do you want to drink it?" ”

Li Tianxia was so drunk that he couldn't find the north, and he couldn't drink Shanxi Fenjiu, even Kweichow Moutai. He was still touching the ground: "Where is this, where am I?" ”

The officers of the 32nd Army were so happy that they laughed and won a victory, and then they were amused by this living treasure, which could be regarded as extremely happy, and they swept away the bad luck of Gao An's lost soldiers.

The 32nd Army is drinking celebration wine here, and Li Tianxia can't be asked to lie under the table! Shang Zhen hurriedly waved his hand, and the adjutant of the 32nd Army hurriedly called the adjutant of the 51st Division and dragged Li Tianxia away.

After Li Tianxia left, Shang Zhen said to everyone: "I don't drink this wine casually, I can only drink this wine if I have merit." Li Tianxia doesn't have the skill of size, why drink my Fenjiu! All of you here have made great efforts and made great contributions in today's battle of Gao'an, and you should drink it. Come, full, full—"

The adjutant hurriedly filled everyone with wine. Of course, if Shang Zhen didn't drink the first glass of wine, no one dared to drink it. Shang Zhen raised his glass and said, "This first glass of wine, we should first salute the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army." The Southern Expeditionary Army should have made the first contribution in the Battle of Gao'an, without them, Gao'an would not have been able to attack! ”

Of course, Han Xing also said modestly: "Where, where, we are here to beat the side drum." To conquer Gao'an, or is your 32nd Army the main force......"

The two sides pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and were polite for a while, after three rounds of wine. Shang Zhen got to the point again: "Commander Han, your first move was to lure the snake out of the hole, and as a result, you wiped out the Japanese air force and the Japanese artillery, so that we captured Shiguling. Your second trick is to beat the water dogs, and the result is to transfer a regiment of soldiers from Commander Liu, destroy the devil's tank squadron, and enable us to capture Gao'an Ximen and attack the city. Now that Gao'an County has been occupied by us, how does Commander Han plan to fight next? ”

Han Xing didn't think about it, and said, "The next step is to catch turtles in the urn." ”

"Oh," Shang Zhen came to his emotions and asked excitedly, "How do you call catching turtles in the urn, or ask Commander Han to make it clear!" ”

Han Xing took a sip of wine, took a sip of food, and then spoke eloquently about the current military situation:

"The 58th Army of the Nationalist Army fought and retreated to the west, crossed the Jinjiang River on the night of the 18th, and moved west towards the Lingjiang Estuary, forming a new defensive line with the 60th Army assembled at Yifeng from south to north.

At present, the 106th Division of the Japanese Army is carrying out defensive operations in the southwest area of Fengxin with one brigade, and the main force is assembled near Shangfu to prepare for westward advance.

In this way, we were given an opportunity to be intercepted by the 106th Army in front of the 60th Army. As for us, did we copy the back road of the 106th Division and surround them near Shangfu. Let's talk about it, isn't this called catching turtles in an urn? ”

After Shang Zhen listened to Han Xing's words, he slapped the table suddenly, shaking the wine bottles and wine glasses on the table, and the Fenjiu in the wine glass spilled out, and the wine bottle was also crooked.

Shang Zhen slapped the table, startling everyone, thinking that he was provoking him somewhere.

Shang Zhen shouted: "Okay, just do what Commander Han said, and we'll catch turtles in an urn for the little devil." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the officers of the 32nd Army who said nonsense, "Yes, let's catch turtles in an urn." "Strike while the iron is hot, and you will give the order." "Capture Gao'an, then annihilate the 106th Division, win the battle in a row, and advance with victory."

Shang Zhen said to Han Xing again: "Commander Han, I think, our 32nd Army will follow you!" Wherever you go, we will follow you. You are the lucky stars of our 32nd Army! ”

Han Xing thought about it, and it was exactly what he wanted. The 32nd Army is an army of the Central Army, with 20,000 horses, and it has only 3,000 people, and the 32nd Army is obviously taking advantage of its own mechanization, while the Southern Expeditionary Army must also rely on the strengths of the 32nd Army.

In this way, the advantages complement each other, and we can learn from each other's strengths.

Han Xing smiled and said to Shang Zhen: "If the commander of the Shang army is not humble and we are few and weak, then our two troops will be tied together." We, the Southern Expeditionary Army, are willing to share life and death with your 32nd Army, advance and retreat together, share honor and disgrace, and share responsibilities. ”

Shang Zhen hurriedly stood up, held Han Xing's hand tightly and said, "What I want is your words." As I said earlier, your Southern Expeditionary Army only needs to deal with the planes in the sky, the artillery on the ground, and the armored vehicles. As for the infantrymen who shed blood and sacrificed their blood and charged into battle, that was the matter of our 32nd Army. Isn't it, brethren. ”

His officers of the 32nd Army shouted in unison: "Yes! Yes! "The planes and artillery are all under control, and what our infantry are doing is fighting bayonets with little devils."

Shang Zhen asked Han Xing again: "When will we start acting?" ”

Han Xing said: "The soldiers are fast, and there is no need to delay. After eating, we start to act. ”

"That's good," Shang Zhen ordered at the wine table, "everyone hurry up and eat." After eating, we started to act, the goal was to go to the rich area, and beat the little devil's ass. The General Staff Department should promptly inform Commander-in-Chief Luo of our military operations and ask Commander-in-Chief Luo for instructions. ”

A staff officer quickly left the wine table and sent a telegram directly to Luo Zhuoying. After a while, Luo Zhuoying sent a telegram saying that Gao An Jike was intending to encircle the enemy's 106th Division, and hoped that your troops would quickly surround the 106th Division's thieves in the Shangfu area, encircle and annihilate them. The 74th Army followed behind.

Since Luo Zhuoying, deputy commander of the Ninth Theater, has sent instructions, and the mechanized troops of the Southern Expeditionary Army are guarding him, there is a 74th Army behind him. Shang Zhen wiped his grease and said loudly: "Leave one regiment to guard Gao'an, and the rest of the main force will all be rich with my soldiers." Let's go-"

Shang Zhen said to leave, he took Han Xing's hand and said: "Commander Han, our joint command of the 32nd Army and the Southern Expeditionary Army, you are still the commander, and I will be the deputy commander." ”

Han Xing hurriedly excused himself and said: "Where, where, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Or are you the commander, and I am your assistant. ”

Shang Zhen felt relieved, and said with a smile: "I said a long time ago, if you uncles are served well, there will be no worries." ”

Han Xing was very unhappy when he heard this, and said to Shang Zhen with a straight face: "Commander Shang, you are called Uncle again." I'm so mad at you! ”

Shang Zhen knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "It's time to fight!" It's time to fight! They all blame me for this stinky mouth. ”

35 kilometers north across the Jinjiang River from Gao'an, a little west, is Huibu, and 20 kilometers west from Huibu is Shangfu. More than 10 kilometers west from Shangfu, is Ganfang. The main force of the devil's 106th Division and the 101st Division were assembled in this area.

The 106th Division and the 101st Division of the Japanese Army, in the area of Shangfu and Ganfang, broke through from Huibu to Shangfu and Ganfang, and because the road was mountainous, the heavy artillery and tanks attached to the two divisions were forced to stay, and the whole army attacked lightly. In this way, the strength of these two divisions was greatly reduced.

The troops could not go far and crossed the Jinjiang River.

The last time I marched into Gao'an, I didn't see the ground clearly because I was on a plane. At this time, he was advancing on foot with the 32nd Army, so the topography of northern Jiangxi was also clear.

Further north, there are endless mountains, although these mountains are not too high, but they are definitely off-limits for the mechanized troops of the Japanese army.

First of all, on the roads, most of them have become paddy fields, some water here, some water there. Not to mention the passage of cars and tanks, it is very difficult to even walk. In addition, there are many cliffs, in order to create some obstacles to the march, some mountains that were originally quite smooth were deliberately destroyed into some cliffs, and here and there, created a lot of trouble for the Japanese army.

In addition, on the road that the Japanese army must take, it was destroyed into irregular deep ditches, one by one, and even the infantry could not walk. Then on the general road surface, the destruction is convex, and it cannot be driven on the road and on both sides.

These tasks require a lot of manpower and material resources, but with the efforts of the national government and the help of the people, they have been successful, and they are quite successful.

Xue Yue has been fighting with the Japanese army since the Battle of Songhu for nearly 2 years, and has a deep understanding of the Japanese army. In addition, there were many Japanese instructors in the national army at that time, so I had a more complete understanding of the Japanese army.

Xue Yue believes that the main feature of the Japanese army is mechanized troops.

In the Battle of Nanchang, after the Japanese army destroyed the first line of defense of the national army with heavy artillery, it immediately charged the second and third lines of the national army with tank groups. Since the Nationalist army did not expect the Japanese army to fight like this, they were caught off guard, and the traffic was not destroyed at all, and the Japanese tanks broke up the defenses of the Nationalist army along the main road.

At that time, the transportation situation in China was generally good, and if there was a plan to destroy all roads and railways, blow up bridges, and destroy ferries, not only would the Japanese armored corps not be able to act effectively, but the mobility of the Japanese infantry would also be greatly reduced, and even horse-drawn carriages could not be used.

Therefore, the Nationalist Government also took action early, carried out a general mobilization of the whole people, destroyed transportation, cleared the wilderness, and retreated to the rear in large numbers of ordinary people.

So along the way, I saw very few people.

After a night of arduous marching, on the morning of September 22, we finally reached the Shangfu front.

On autumn mornings, the air is exceptionally fresh, and in the shady green valleys, birds chirp, and the bright sunlight shines on all kinds of miscellaneous trees, bamboo forests, and bushes, like a layer of golden light.

Soft red earth with an intoxicating earthy smell. In the rice fields in the distance, plump rice paddies droop as if welcoming guests from afar.

A new big war is about to begin.
