Perhaps, General Zhong Yi has long turned into a smart egret, flying freely on the land of China and among the reeds of China......

Several guards wept bitterly on the spot, but because there were Japanese troops on all sides, they really couldn't carry the bodies to break through. After carefully burying the remains, they scattered and broke out, and in the end only two or three people were lucky enough to break out.

After the Nationalist Government learned that Zhong Yi was martyred, it specially praised Zhong Yi with Commendation Order No. 1283.

In that year, the national government and local military government organs held a public memorial for him, and Bai Chongxi read out the memorial message. After the Battle of Zaoyi, the Nationalist Government found the body of General Zhong Yi, and when the spirit was transported to Chongqing, General Bai Chongxi and important officials at all levels went to Beibei to pay respects. Zhu De, Wang Jiaxiang, Tan Zheng, Xiao Jinguang, and Wang Ruofei, leaders of the CPC Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army, attended the meeting.

In August of the following year, according to the martyr's will, the coffin was moved to Guangxi and ceremoniously buried in the eastern suburbs of Guilin, which is now the tomb of Zhong Yi.

In this battle, the 173rd Division suffered heavy casualties, one regiment was defeated, one regiment was heavily damaged, and the division headquarters was also defeated by the Japanese, with nearly half of the casualties. But the 173rd Division, with its own sacrifices, covered the retreat of the 84th Army and saved the overall situation.

Han Xing and Liu Zhiyuan held that the combat mission at this stage had been accomplished, and it was necessary to convene a plenary meeting immediately. By studying the operational experience of the previous stage, we should analyze the current military situation so that we can arrange combat tasks for the next stage.

The meeting was immediately held in an ordinary house in the Dahong Mountains, and even Ling Yunshang, the commander of the 517th Regiment of the 173rd Division, and Peng Tinghua, the deputy head of the 518th Regiment, were also invited to attend.

Everyone finally met here again, and when they met, they couldn't get rid of jokes for a while.

As the commander of the special operations battalion, Yin Zhaoli couldn't help but complain for a while at this time, he pointed the finger at his former subordinate Zhang Xiaosan, and said to Zhang Xiaosan a little mockingly:

"I said Camp Commander Zhang, you can do it now! Follow Commander Han to eat and drink spicy food, wherever Commander Han goes, he will also take you wherever he goes. You don't miss the feelings of your fellow countrymen at all, when you can't eat, when will you give me a little! ”

Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan are both from Nanzhen Village, Gaotang County, back then, Yin Zhaoli was the self-defense captain of Nanzhen Self-Defense Village, and Zhang Xiaosan was just an ordinary team member, and Zhang Xiaosan has always been Yin Zhaoli's subordinate in the future. It was only during the raid on the Xinhua Academy on Jinan Dikou Road that he was exceptionally promoted because of his outstanding military achievements.

At this time, Zhang Xiaosan, because he was carrying a large book of honor and meritorious deeds, had long since stopped taking Yin Zhaoli in his eyes, and he was a little proud of his achievements. He said to the first one: "What's this, this is called a radish that doesn't grow on the back (generation), what happened to Commander Han, it was also drilled out of the rain of bullets." ”

"What do you drink-" Yin Zhaoli was most disgusted with his energy, and said unceremoniously to him, "Don't give you a little sunshine, who do you think you are, you can't forget your roots." I think back then, if I hadn't given you a few turnips, you would have starved to death. If you hadn't begged me to teach you some martial arts, if I hadn't pleaded with my master to take you in, how would you have learned these skills? Without these skills, how can you follow Commander Han everywhere. At this moment, don't you feel amazing? ”

Zhang Xiaosan is also the most annoyed by others to expose his shortcomings, he thinks that what happened when he was a child is his own privacy, and others can't mention it. He said to Yin Zhaoli unconvinced: "It's better not to mention the past." If you have the ability, let's compete on the battlefield, right? ”

"Humph!" Yin Zhaoli snorted, and at the same time said to Han Xing, "How can you compare, you are near the water and get the moon first, and the bald man follows the moon and doesn't notice it." I don't even have a chance to go to the battlefield, how can I compare? ”

At this moment, Han Xing heard the words, and smiled without answering. Sometimes, when I go out to fight with a small unit, I can only take the guard battalion, because the guard battalion is familiar with it and convenient. I can't help but say that I am also a little biased towards the guard battalion.

Of course, in the eyes of others, there is no chance to perform in the war. At the same time, it also shows that the troops' high enthusiasm for fighting! It's better than being afraid of the enemy.

Yin Zhaoli finished taunting, and came forward again, and said to him: "Battalion Commander You is okay, with the tank battalion three in and three out, killing the little devil is not an army, it can be said that he has enough limelight." Our special operations battalion looks so greedy! ”

You Qianqian has always been honest, and he has to say at this time: "Camp Commander Yin, I didn't offend you, why did you come to me again." There is also a certain reason why Commander Han won't let you go on for the time being! With our steel armored vehicles, we can't hold your flesh and blood. No matter how good the martial arts are, the flesh and blood can't do the Japanese tanks, right? ”

Yin Zhaoli hurriedly said: "How dare I mock you, am I complimenting you?" ”

You pouted and said, "Why didn't I hear the compliment!" How do I hear that the northwest wind is blowing thistles—even the wind is thorny! ”

Fan Shuyu smiled and said to them: "I think you are just some tigers, put them on the battlefield, and bite the devils." Put them in a cage and pinch each other and bite each other. Isn't it good to have the kung fu to rest, this is all full of food and support, and if you have nothing to do, you will bite! Pinch! ”

Hou Dashan pretended to shake his head and said to everyone: "Men don't (noisy), women don't itch (yell), pickles are too expensive (now in a meeting), let's ask Commander Han to talk about business, what are you all!" ”

At this time, Ling Yunshang couldn't help laughing, and he said to Peng Tinghua: "I didn't expect the meeting of the Eighth Route Army to be so relaxed and lively, you can say anything." ”

Liu Zhiyuan whispered to him: "The meeting of the Eighth Route Army is exquisite, knowing everything, saying everything, saying everything, those who say are not guilty, those who hear are full of precepts, if there is one, change it, and if there is none, it will be encouraged!" The comrades are tired, and if they are happy to say a grumble, they can't help but let people talk about it. ”

Ling Yunshang nodded and said, "We have a meeting there, but if you talk nonsense, you will be punished." ”

Peng Tinghua said: "It's still so good, and it's a pleasure to have a meeting." ”

Liu Zhiyuan saw that it was not too early, and they had enough of it, and said to everyone: "Let's have a meeting now!" The meritorious service of each ministry should first be reported by each unit and wait for the approval of the above. The current situation on the battlefield is very complicated, and Sun Tzu said that knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Let's ask Commander Han to talk about the situation on the battlefield on both sides, right? Everyone is welcome! ”

All the commanders burst into warm applause.

Han Xing had no choice but to wave his hand at everyone, and everyone stopped applauding. Han Xing said to everyone: "Since the Japanese army began its offensive in early May, it has completed the encirclement in Xinye. Their purpose is to encircle the main forces of the Fifth Theater and destroy or inflict heavy losses on us in one fell swoop. In this campaign, they only surrounded and inflicted heavy losses on the 173rd Division, and it can also be said that their attempts were completely bankrupt. ”

The meeting burst into applause.

Han Xing waved his hand, everyone stopped applauding, and Han Xing said:

"Chairman Chiang sent a telegram to Li Zongren on 5 May, pointing out that the Japanese army on all sides was only three divisions strong, and that they were all pieced together from other quarters to be distributed on the vast fronts of Pinghan, Xinnan, Xianghua, Jingzhong, and Hanyi. Its strength on each road is no more than one brigade and up to one division. The strength is very limited, and there is no active and very great intention, which can be inferred...... It is time for our army to understand the enemy's situation thoroughly and seize the opportunity...... Regardless of everything, we will fight hard and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Therefore, the Fifth Theater adjusted its deployment in response to the Japanese situation, and used the 29th Group Army as a guerrilla operation in Dahongshan, and flanked the Japanese troops on the two routes of Jingzhong and Xianghua; Sun Lianzhong of the left group commanded the 1st Guerrilla Column to conduct guerrilla operations in Tongbai Mountain, and attacked the Japanese troops on Xianghua Road to the southwest.

In addition to the original task, the Jiang Defense Army should cross the river and march eastward with strong troops, attack in the direction of Sooshi and Lianshan, threaten the rear of the Japanese army, and fight in response to the right group; The right group still held the west bank of the Xiang River with one section, and the main force was in the area east of the Xiang River, and coordinated with the central group to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army that went north from Zhong Xiang.

The Central Group should block and delay the westward advance of the Japanese army from its current position, and when it had to do so, it should resist one by one east of Zaoyang for the purpose of securing Xiang and Fan, and then coordinate with the Right Group and the Dahongshan guerrilla army north of Zaoyang to attack the flank of the Japanese army, and the main force should be transferred to the west of the Tang River and the Baihe River.

The 2nd and 31st Armies and the 92nd Army should encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops advancing west in the area east of Tongbai and Miyang, and move west of the Tang River as a last resort.

In other words, the Japanese army ran out of tricks and was in the defensive phase, while the main forces of the Fifth Theater of Operations entered the offensive phase. ”

Everyone heard it, we attacked, and there was another round of applause.

Han Xing said to everyone again: "But things are not so simple, although it is the main force of the Fifth War Zone that has launched an attack on the enemy's 11th Army Corps. However, the Fifth Theater of Operations was at a disadvantage, and it was not so easy for an inferior army to attack a strong enemy.

Another point is that the main order of our 5th theater of operations is that the 2nd Army, the 31st Army, and the 92nd Army go south, and the 33rd Army go north to surround the enemy and attack the enemy. As for the enemy, they are advancing westward, that is, taking the opportunity of the eastward advance of the Jiangfang Army, vacating the Han River, they are crossing the Han River and attacking Yichang. ”

Hou Dashan heard the door coming at this time, and said to Han Xing: "Commander Han, why am I a little confused when I hear it?" The main force of our Fifth Theater is fighting east of the Han River, but the Japanese army wants to cross the Han River and attack Yichang west of the Han River. I don't know if the national army knows about these things, right? ”

Han Xing said: "I have reminded General Sun Lianzhong earlier. As for whether he listens or not, that's his business. Judging from the current situation, General Li Zongren of the Fifth Theater has not taken the matter of the Japanese army's attack on Yichang to heart, and he is a little careless. ”

Ling Yunshang was also a little anxious when he heard these words, and interjected: "We are fighting a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the Zaoyang area. As for the Japanese army, they were concentrating their forces to attack Yichang west of the Han River. Yichang is the gateway to defend Sichuan, and if Yichang loses, the door to Sichuan will be opened. ”
