Chapter 211: Sleepless Tonight, Yang Jing's Choice!
Wang Dali, the deputy battalion commander, was born in the Sichuan Army and had not read much, but he was very upright and frank, and was the first to speak: "Tuanzao, if you want me to say, of course it is a war!" ”
"Fight! First kill the frontal enemy in Taierzhuang, and then turn the muzzle of the gun, together with General Liu Ziliang's 68th Army, take out the devil's attack force! ”
Everyone responded one after another.
"Good!" Yang Jing nodded heavily with satisfaction, and said in a resolute tone: "Brothers, the battle of Xuzhou is a very important matter.
If Xuzhou is lost, then the devil's army will march west along the Longhai Railway and invade the Central Plains.
Then, along the Pinghan railway line, the troops will enter Hubei, and even the entire southwest!
At that time, the loss of troops will be secondary, and it will be my Chinese people who will be affected!
Besides, as long as we want to end the war, whether we drive the little devils who set foot on our Chinese land out of the country or annihilate them completely.
Then sooner or later we will all have a head-to-head battle with it!
Lao Tzu still said that although China is big, we have no way out!
Blindly retreating will only fuel the arrogance of the little devils.
Moreover, Lao Tzu has never heard that throughout the ages, freedom and peace have been achieved by forbearance, retreat, and begging!
Only war can stop war!
Only by killing can the killing be ended!
Only when you straighten your waist will you get the respect of others!
Only when you are strong will you be in awe of others!
Weakling, cowardly, never deserve the respect of others!
Therefore, I decided to fight to the death, first annihilating the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army, and then try my best to save the battle!
As for whether it will be able to turn the tide, I don't know; But as soldiers, it is our duty and duty to kill the enemy to serve the country and stain the battlefield with blood!
No matter what the outcome, we have to do our best!
No matter whether you win or lose, but you are worthy of the sky and the earth!
Even if we die, we have to bite off a piece of the little devil's meat! Let the little devil know that it is not so easy to kill me in Huaxia!
What do you think?"
"Everything is based on the head of the horse!"
"Everything is based on the head of the horse!"
"Everything is based on the head of the horse......
Everyone responded one after another.
Yang Jing nodded again and said, "Very good, our brothers work together, and we will be able to break the gold!" This time, we will definitely be able to achieve what we wish and turn the tide of the battle into a safe one!"
After speaking, Yang Jing turned his head and instructed Ma Haifeng: "Chief of Staff, call back to the Theater Commander's Department immediately, I think the second plan should be implemented!"
However, I have one request, that is, the defenders of Taierzhuang, including Tang Keqin's department, must be commanded by me this time, and they must completely obey my orders!
I promise that within two days, the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army will be defeated, and if the task cannot be completed, Yang is willing to come and see him!"
After a pause, Yang Jing said again: "In addition, with Liu Ruming's troops going east to Nian Zhuang to fortify, Xuzhou will inevitably be empty, and the Japanese spies lurking in Xuzhou City will inevitably be ready to move.
Because of heightened vigilance, beware of the recurrence of the incident at the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters! ”
"Yes! Tuanza! Chief of Staff Ma Haifeng suddenly agreed, immediately wrote down the words of Yang Jing, the regimental seat, and then polished them and sent them to the headquarters of the commander of the Xuzhou Theater.
…………
Xuzhou, the Fifth Theater Governor's Department.
General Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng were not idle, and they first reported this earth-shattering change to the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee in Wuhan by telegram.
At the same time, he ordered the front-line troops to closely monitor every move of this raiding Japanese army.
Sleepless tonight!
Wuhan, High Command.
When the chairman of the committee learned of this, he was also shocked beyond measure.
Chen Cixiu, He Jingzhi and other senior generals were summoned overnight to discuss countermeasures in his office.
At the same time, he immediately ordered Boss Dai to use agents of the military command to investigate all kinds of intelligence on the Japanese raid troops that landed in Haizhou Bay.
In addition to the 114th Division, are there any other armies!
……
Peiping.
Headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army.
Commander Terauchi Shoichi also had trouble sleeping after learning that the 114th Division would land in Haizhou Bay in the early hours of this night and launch a surprise attack from Lianyungang.
In the end, I simply stayed up all night until now.
He didn't sleep, and the chief of staff, Naosaburo Okabe, and the deputy chief of staff, Muto Akira, and other devil officers of the headquarters could only accompany him and wait.
Of course, the reason why Terauchi Shouichi was so concerned about this raid was, in the final analysis, because the 10th Division and the 14th Division suffered defeats in Tengxian and Taierzhuang one after another.
Therefore, Terauchi Shouichi could only pin his hopes on this surprise attack of the 114th Division.
Hopefully they will be able to open up the situation from the Longhai line!
At this moment, a communications staff officer on duty suddenly hurried out of the confidential department, bypassed the corridor, and came to Terauchi Shouichi's office.
"Your Excellency, Commander! The 114th Division is a good news! They have successfully landed from Haizhou Bay and captured Lianyungang!
At present, General Shigeharu Suematsu is leading the main force of the 114th Division to the west along the Longhai Line to force Xuzhou! ”
It's so yo shy!
Terauchi Shouichi was overjoyed when he heard this, and the reason why he stayed up all night and waited until now was not just to wait for this good news.
At that moment, he couldn't wait to take the telegram from the staff officer on duty and read it carefully.
Subsequently, it was circulated to Chief of Staff Okabe Naosaburo and Deputy Chief of Staff Muto Akira and others.
After reading it, Naosaburo Okabe said with a wicked smile: "Your Excellency, Commander, now, the enemy Xuzhou defenders are only the 68th Army under Liu Ziliang, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
The only ones Li Delin could recruit in a short period of time were the Tiger Ben Regiment in the Taierzhuang area, Sun Fanglu's 2nd Group Army, and Tang Keqin's 20th Group Army!
Once Li Delin requisitioned the defenders of Taierzhuang, then the 10th Division and the 14th Division of our Imperial Army could easily tear through the Taierzhuang defense line, so as to unite the 114th Division and launch a siege of Xuzhou!
And if Li Delin did not requisition the defenders of Taierzhuang, then the 114th Division could easily defeat Liu Ziliang's 68th Army.
and then drove straight into Xuzhou directly!
Finally, turn the muzzle of the gun, unite the 10th Division and the 14th Division of the Imperial Army, and launch a siege against the enemy defenders of Taierzhuang! ”
The Japanese army invested a large number of spies in China, many of whom broke into the country. Those in the middle and high ranks of the military.
Therefore, they also have a good understanding of the deployment of troops in the Fifth Theater.
After Okabe Naosaburo's analysis, all the devil officers, including Shouichi Terauchi, showed undisguised excited smiles on their faces.
Among them, the face of Deputy Chief of Staff Muto Akira was the most complacent.
Because this surprise attack plan was proposed by him, once the 114th Division successfully took Xuzhou, and then cooperated with the 10th Division and the 14th Division to annihilate the defenders of the enemy Taierzhuang, then he would be the biggest hero of this battle.
Suddenly, this black-bellied old devil thought of a vicious plan again, and said: "Your Excellency Commander, Okabe-kun, there is still a plan for your humble position, I don't know if you should talk about it or not?" ”
If someone else sells off with him, Shouichi Terauchi will definitely not be treated well by him, but Muto Akira is different.
So Shouichi Terauchi suddenly cast a hopeful gaze at him and asked, "Muto-kun, tell me quickly!" ”
Muto Zhang didn't dare to be too proud of his achievements, and immediately said: "Your Excellency Commander, I don't know if you still remember that when our Central China Imperial Army sent a roundabout force to attack Jinling City, the capital of China, by the Yangtze River waterway, it also used a spy organization lurking in Jinling City to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's garrison headquarters.
In the end, he successfully captured the enemy headquarters and captured the radio and cipher books of the Chinese army.
If it weren't for Tang Mengxiao's fast running, maybe he would have been captured alive. ”
Terauchi Shouichi's eyes lit up, and he asked: "Muto-kun, what do you mean, we also used the spy organization lurking in Xuzhou to launch a surprise attack on the Fifth Theater Command of the China Army?" ”
"Yes, that's exactly what it means!" Muto Zhang said: "If Li Delin dares to transfer Liu Ziliang's 68th Army to the east to block the 114th Division of the Imperial Army.
Then the strength of the Chinese army in Xuzhou must be very empty, as long as the spy organization in the city finds a suitable opportunity, it may not be able to replicate the miracle of the Central China Imperial Army in Jinling City!
Taking a step back, even if you can't defeat the command of the Fifth Theater of the Chinese Army, you can still be afraid, which is still very beneficial to the next actions of the imperial army! ”
"Yo Si! It's a matter of seconds! Shouichi Terauchi nodded happily and adopted Muto Akira's insidious plan.
…………
The picture is pulled to Xuzhou again.
The Fifth Theater Commander's Department.
Just when General Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng were anxiously waiting for intelligence news from all sides.
The communications corps sent Yang Jing's reply call.
After reading Yang Jing's call, Li Delin's face changed slightly, and he frowned: "With the previous cooperation, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for Sun Fanglu to obey Yang Jing's arrangement."
It's just that Tang Enbo, with his arrogance, wants him to obey the command of Yang Jing, a junior, but I'm afraid he may not be willing! ”
Bai Jiansheng analyzed: "I think, with Yang Jing's intelligence, it is impossible for him not to consider this. Therefore, we don't have to be embarrassed, just report Yang Jing's request and the two plans we formulated to Wuhan.
Let the chairman choose, whether to fight or abandon Xuzhou!
If there is a war, with the chairman's respect for Yang Jing, he will inevitably be granted a certain amount of command, and at that time, he will be able to command enough troops justifiably to start a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Taierzhuang!
I think Yang Jing should think the same way, but this person knows the way of being a man, never takes credit for himself, and will not do something out of line and disgusting.
That's why he didn't send a telegram directly to Chairman Chiang to request us. ”
Li Delin nodded and said, "Well, Brother Jiansheng is reasonable!" Then send a power to the commission and let the old man decide whether to fight or withdraw!
As for the rest, we'll talk about that later!
I believe that the committee will make a decision soon and call us back! ”
…………
Wuhan, High Command.
The chairman of the committee and others are holding an emergency military meeting because of the 114th Division's surprise attack on Lianyungang and its advance into Xuzhou along the Longhai railway line.
At this time, Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, suddenly took a telegram and hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Commission, the Fifth War Zone is in an emergency!"
"Huh?" The chairman of the committee was shocked when he heard this, for fear that it would be unfavorable news.
However, in front of all the senior generals, he still maintained enough composure.
After all, as the head of a country, his words and deeds, and every action may cause many people to speculate.
This leads to many uncontrollable events.
The chairman of the committee stretched out his hand to take the telegram, and after reading it, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as Xuzhou has not been lost, everything will still have a chance to be saved.
After a moment of silence, the chairman directly ordered and ordered: "Call back to the Fifth War Zone immediately!" It was agreed to approve them to carry out the second plan, that is, to hold Xuzhou and strive to completely annihilate the enemy of Taierzhuang.
At the same time, Yang Jing was granted the command of the Battle of Taierzhuang, and Tang Keqin's department and Sun Fanglu's department were all transferred to Yang Jing's temporary unified command!
In a hurry, no one is allowed to disobey this order, otherwise they will be killed! ”
Although Chen Cixiu, He Jingzhi, and others did not see the contents of the telegram, they also heard some ways from the words of the chairman.
However, seeing that the chairman of the committee had made up his mind, even if they had any ideas, they would not say anything else.
……
The Fifth Theater Commander's Department.
After Li Delin got the chairman's reply, he was overjoyed and said to Bai Jiansheng on the side: "Brother Jiansheng, I really made you right, and the commission agreed!" ”
Bai Jiansheng had already anticipated all this, and said: "The committee must be more reluctant than us to give up Xuzhou, because everyone knows that Xuzhou is so easy to lose."
How much harm will the Japanese army cause to the Central Plains if the Longhai Railway Line advances westward!
Even the two lakes, as well as the southwest region, will fall into a trap from which they will never recover! ”
Li Delin nodded thoughtfully, and instructed a communications staff officer: "Go and send this telegram order of the chairman to the Hu Bentuan, Sun Fanglu's department, and Tang Keqin's department!" ”
"Yes!" The communications staff officer immediately saluted and took the order.
After the communication staff officer left, Li Delin said with some concern: "Brother Jiansheng, do you say that Yang Jing is really capable of turning the tide this time?"
Our department denied his ability, and also believed that Yang Jing and the Huben regiment, Tang Keqin's division, and Sun Fanglu's division, with a total of 100,000 troops, would definitely be able to complete the strategic plan of gathering and annihilating the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army in Taierzhuang!
But the question is only two days now, is it too urgent.
Moreover, Tang Keqin's department, only the 52nd Army of Zhidao rushed to the Taierzhuang area first! ”
Bai Jiansheng said: "Degong, Yang Jing seems to be arrogant, but in fact, he never makes uncertain deals.
His arrogance also stems from his great strength!
Looking at the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Yangzhou, the Battle of Nanjing, and now the Battle of Tengxian, which victory did Yang Jing and his Tiger Regiment fight, in our opinion, is not a miracle enough to go down in military history?
Therefore, since Yang Jing dares to make this guarantee, then I estimate that he should still be seven or eight points sure. ”
"Seven or eight points sure?"
General Li Delin muttered in a low voice, and after a while, the mental outlook of the whole person suddenly changed, and his tone was unprecedentedly firm: "There is never a 100% chance of winning in a war!"
Since Brother Jiansheng believes in Yang Jing so much, why don't we give it a go?
Besides, if I retreat from Xuzhou like this, it is definitely not what I want! ”
