Chapter 203: The Sinister Japanese Army, a Crisis in the Dark Night!
It's night!
After Yang Jing led his troops to withdraw into Taierzhuang, General Sun Fanglu, who received the news, immediately led the personnel of the 2nd Group Army Headquarters out of the city to greet him.
Among them, there are also the commander of the 31st Division, Chi Fengcheng, and Sun Fanglu's department, although the number is a group army.
In fact, there are only two or three divisions and more than 30,000 people.
Among them, the 31st Division is the old unit he started from, and it is also the strongest combat force in the entire 2nd Army.
"Commander Yang, I have admired my name for a long time! When I saw it today, it was really a hero out of a boy!
This is not the place to talk, it's still the advanced city, let's talk about it at my headquarters! Sun Fanglu welcomed Yang Jing very warmly.
As a soldier, the most admired is undoubtedly the strong, and only the strong.
Yang Jing led the Tiger Ben Regiment in Songhu and Nanjing Station to achieve proud military exploits, which have already spread all over the north and south of the river, and everyone in the world knows and knows about it.
What's more, the Tiger Regiment had just suffered a heavy defeat at the 10th Division of the Japanese Army in Tengxian County, killing thousands of enemies.
Yang Jing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Chief Sun doesn't have to be polite, the devil may chase after him at any time, you are the chief, please give me some tasks and divide the defense area!" ”
Sun Fanglu is a general, so nominally Yang Jing has to call him a chief.
This is also to unite the 2nd Army and fight this battle of Taierzhuang.
Yang Jing, who is well versed in the way of life, naturally knows this truth.
Although General Li Delin, commander-in-chief of the theater, ordered him to be the commander of this battle, he had no intention of using chicken feathers as an arrow.
Seeing that Yang Jing was so low-key, Sun Fanglu not only did not take credit for his pride, but also did not use the commander-in-chief's orders to pressure himself, and his good impression of Yang Jing in his heart suddenly doubled.
Sun Fanglu said: "I received an order from the Commander's Department and the Command Department of the Theater that you will be my tactical adviser to the Fifth Theater of Operations, and at the same time, provide tactical guidance for this battle.
However, since your troops have been fighting with the Japanese in Tengxian for two days, the Governor's Department also said in the telegram that you should lead your troops to retreat to Zhao Village, 10 miles south of Taierzhuang, for rest.
First of all, the 31st Division of our department will defend Taierzhuang, and when we are finished, you will go again! ”
It is worth mentioning that General Li Delin was not qualified to directly appoint Yang Jing as a tactical adviser to the Fifth Theater, so he asked the General Headquarters again and received the nod of approval from the chairman.
Yang Jing didn't want the 31st Division to face the Japanese army coming in anger alone, fighting so hard and suffering so heavy losses!
Because it won't be long before a full-front counteroffensive will be launched.
The 31st Division was really gone, but it was China's national defense forces that were lost.
With the Tiger Ben Regiment here, Taierzhuang will definitely be as stable as a rock, and there will be no need to pay so many casualties.
Therefore, Yang Jing took the initiative to ask Sun Fanglu and said: "Chief Sun, my Tiger Ben Regiment is not tired, and the battle of Tengxian County is just a little bit of activity.
Therefore, I ask you to tell the Commander's Department of the Theater that my Huben Regiment has decided to fight side by side with the 31st Division and defend Taierzhuang to base the Japanese army! ”
Sun Fanglu thought that Yang Jing was being polite, so he kindly persuaded: "Advisor Yang, this is the kindness of the commander-in-chief, General Li Delin, you just accept it!" ”
"Sir Sun, Yang is not polite, but for the sake of the entire battle situation, the 10th Division and the 14th Division of the Japanese Army are the two most elite field divisions in the Japanese army in North China.
Not only were they well-armed and well-trained, but they also had complete air supremacy.
With our Tiger Ben Regiment defending Taierzhuang together, the pressure on you won't be so great.
Therefore, Chief Li's kindness, Yang Mou's heart is understood! Yang Jing said sincerely.
Seeing that Sun Fanglu was going to say more, Yang Jing's face suddenly became serious: "Chief Sun, this is the tactical guidance that I provide for this battle as a tactical advisor!" Please cooperate! ”
At this moment, Sun Fanglu did not feel that Yang Jing was arrogant and dissatisfied, but was greatly moved.
This is not a battle merit, but an initiative to put yourself in danger!
With such courage and selfless spirit, who else is there besides Yang Jing?
Sun Fanglu's expression was sincere, and he said from the bottom of his heart: "Consultant Yang understands the righteousness and pays attention to the overall situation everywhere, Sun Fanglu admires it to the fullest!" I'll send a telegram to Commander Li and tell Advisor Yang what you mean. ”
"Then there will be work!" Yang Jing smiled and arched his hand.
…………
The picture is pulled to Xuzhou, the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth War Zone.
Because they were concerned about the evacuation of the Tiger Regiment, General Li Delin, General Bai Jiansheng and others did not sleep tonight.
After receiving the report from Sun Fanglu from Taierzhuang, Li Delin smiled and said to Bai Jiansheng on the side: "Brother Jiansheng, this Yang Jing is really interesting!" Asked him to take it down and recuperate, he didn't accept it.
If this were someone else, I guess I would be grateful to Dade, right? ”
Bai Jiansheng sat on the sofa, picked up the teacup and first used the lid of the cup to flick the tea leaves floating on the water, then took a sip, and said: "Degong, I remember that it was rumored in the army that in the Battle of Nanjing, Yang Jing once said something like this, the life and death of the country is *******!"
Moreover, as I said before, Yang Jing is a loyal and righteous man, a national hero, and a pillar of the country!
This kind of person, although rare in the world, is not uncommon.
Yang Jing is a good example! ”
General Li Delin suddenly had a whim and said: "If this battle plan to lure the enemy into depth can be successfully implemented, the Battle of Xuzhou will end in victory for our army."
I have decided to promote Yang Jing to the post of deputy commander of my Fifth Theater of Operations! ”
Bai Jiansheng was not dissatisfied because Li Delin wanted to give up his position to Yang Jing, but slowly put down the teacup and said with a slight smile: "Duke De, your kindness, I'm afraid the chairman won't agree!" ”
"You attach importance to Yang Jing, and the chairman of the committee is only afraid that he attaches more importance to it than you.
At the beginning, I was willing to temporarily transfer Yang Jing's Tiger Regiment to our Fifth War Zone, but it was just a helpless move to boost the morale of the generals of our Fifth War Zone due to the situation at that time!
Therefore, the chairman of the committee must prevent Yang Jing from getting too close to you and becoming a member of our Gui family, far away from him! ”
After a pause, General Bai Jiansheng continued: "Moreover, if Jiang Gong reuses Yang Jing, Yang Jing's career will definitely not be just a deputy commander of a war zone.
If nothing else, as long as there is no problem with his political consciousness, it won't be long before he can catch up, or even surpass you and me! ”
Li Delin laughed at himself: "It's true, Yang Jing is a military genius that is rare in a century, a dragon among people, his future is bound to be limitless, but I have done it too much!" ”
After a pause, Li Delin asked again: "Then approve Yang Jing to lead the Tiger Ben Regiment and the 31st Division to defend Taierzhuang?" ”
Bai Jiansheng smiled leisurely and said: "Duke De, approve it, it's rare for Yang Jing to have such good intentions!"
Moreover, with the combat effectiveness displayed by the Tiger Ben Regiment and Yang Jing's command and command ability, having the two of them guarding Taierzhuang together will inevitably ensure that Taierzhuang is safe and sound.
Moreover, with the Tiger Ben Regiment fighting together, the morale of the 31st Division will definitely increase greatly, and the casualties will be much smaller as a result! ”
…………
After receiving the approval of the Theater Commander's Department.
As a result, Yang Jing led the Huben Regiment to officially enter Taierzhuang, and General Chi Fengcheng's 31st Division was responsible for the defense of Beicheng District and Nancheng District respectively.
The 31st Division, plus the Tiger Regiment, totaled more than 18,000 people, and it was impossible for all of them to be deployed in the city.
It's not that there are so many people in the city, but that there are too many troops, and it is difficult to deploy them in the city, and there may be more casualties due to the Japanese air raids and bombings.
Therefore, most of the main forces of the two divisions were stationed in the field fortifications that the 2nd Army had dug and built in advance outside the city.
By the time the deployment of the troops had been arranged, it was the next morning.
Yang Jing asked Chief of Staff Ma Haifeng and Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Dali to sit at the regiment headquarters, while he went to rest with Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, and several battalion and company commanders such as Rake Er and Ma Tong.
The other battalions also take turns to rest on duty to ensure the combat effectiveness of the entire unit.
…………
If everything is as predicted by Yang Jing, Li Delin, and Bai Jiansheng, Yang Jing and Sun Fanglu only need to hold on to Taierzhuang for three or five days.
After Tang Keqin's corps is assembled, it can launch a battle to completely annihilate the 10th Division of the Japanese Army and the 14th Division.
However, wars are often full of variables and uncertainties.
It's not that what you think will develop.
…………
Headquarters of the Japanese Army in North China.
Knowing that the Tiger Ben Regiment came to the battlefield in Xuzhou, considering the Chinese . The army's defenses on the Jinpu railway have been greatly strengthened.
The 5th Division was also blocked by Pang Gengchen's 40th Group Army and Zhang Xinchen's 59th Army in Linyi, and it was difficult to advance an inch!
Major General Akira Muto, then deputy chief of the General Staff of the Japanese North China Front, suddenly found the commander-in-chief of the front army, Terauchi Shouichi, and the chief of staff, Okabe Naosaburo, and suggested to the two: "Your Excellency Commander, Okabe-kun, under the current situation, I suggest that the plan of the 114th Division of the Central China Imperial Army to land from Qingdao by water should be cancelled and land from Lianyungang, Jiangsu instead!"
After capturing Lianyungang, he marched west along the Longhai Line and approached Xuzhou, where the headquarters of the Chinese Army was located! ”
Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm! I think it works!
Because even if the 114th Division lands from Qingdao and wants to threaten the hinterland of the Chinese Army, Taierzhuang and Xuzhou, it will take a long time! Inevitably, other changes will occur.
However, once Muto-kun, your plan is realized, you can cooperate with several other divisions of our North China Imperial Army, as well as the Central China Imperial Army going north, to easily defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Fifth Theater of the China Army in one fell swoop! ”
Commander Terauchi Shouichi also nodded in agreement, and then added: "In addition, in the name of the Front Army Headquarters, I ordered the 1st Fleet of the Navy to leave Qingdao Military Port immediately.
sailed to Lianyungang and cooperated with the 114th Division to land from Lianyungang.
After succeeding, directly take Lianyungang as the forward base, advance westward along the Longhai Railway, and go straight to the rear of Xuzhou in the fifth war zone! ”
"Yo Si! Your Excellency, Commander, is clever! ”
Muto Akira and Okabe Naosaburo both slammed their heads, and at the same time slapped their ass without hesitation.
……
I have to say that this trick of the old devil Muto Zhang is too shrewd and cunning.
Once the goal is achieved, the battle situation of the Battle of Xuzhou will take a sharp turn in an instant.
Not only Xuzhou, which is quite empty to guard, will be in extreme danger.
Even the plans of the Tiger Regiment, the 2nd Army, and the 20th Army to encircle and annihilate the 10th and 14th Divisions of the Japanese Army in Taierzhuang will be in vain!
The entire Fifth Theater, hundreds of thousands of troops, will face being surrounded on all sides by the Japanese Central China Front and the North China Front!
And all this, the devils carried out secretly on the vast sea with the assistance of the navy.
All communications are also maintained with the highest level of confidentiality.
China. The army, and even the intelligence services of the National Army, were unknown.
Therefore, everyone, including Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng, and Yang Jing, did not know that a huge strategic crisis was quietly coming.
Yang Jing didn't expect that because of his sideways appearance, the devil would come up with such a cunning plan.
This is not the butterfly effect brought about by his crossing, but the surprise attack tactics conceived by the Japanese staff according to the changes in the battle situation.
Historically, the Japanese army did land from Lianyungang, took Xuzhou directly, and then attacked Zhengzhou, an important town in the Central Plains, along the Longhai Railway.
It's just that the day came a little earlier.
Of course, strictly speaking, this can also be regarded as the butterfly effect brought by Yang Jing's crossing.
The wheel of history has undergone a subtle change because of his arrival.
…………
The picture was pulled back to Taierzhuang, and Yang Jing slept for less than four hours.
I was awakened by the fierce sound of gunfire and bombardment outside.
He opened his eyes suddenly, rolled over and got up, put on his coat, and walked out of the room.
Ma Tong, Niu Dazhuang, Bai Laosan, Shi Yibiao, and Long Yun, deputy captain of the special operations team, were all waiting outside the door.
Seeing Yang Jing come out, everyone stood up and saluted: "Tuanza!" ”
Yang Jing frowned and asked, "The devil has started to attack?" ”
Ma Tong replied: "Yes, about half an hour ago, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army arrived in Taierzhuang.
After half an hour of preparation, I just launched the attack a few minutes ago!
At present, the Japanese army is mainly attacking the defense area of the 31st Division, and our Tiger Regiment has not yet exchanged fire with the devils.
In addition, there are chief of staff and deputy regiment commanders in the headquarters, so why don't you sleep again? ”
"I don't sleep, as soon as I hear the sound of gunfire, Lao Tzu's sleepiness is completely gone!" Yang Jing wiped his face, habitually touched his pocket, took out a box of high-quality white sand, first lit one for himself, and then asked, "Do you want any of you?" ”
Rake ears, Niu Dazhuang, Bai Laosan, Shi Yibiao and others all smiled and reached out to take one, and then each lit it.
And Long Yun scratched his head and said, "Tuanza, you forgot, I don't smoke!" ”
Yang Jing took a deep breath, instantly felt that he was much more sober, and then his face turned solemn, and he said, "Let's go, let's go to the regiment headquarters!" ”
"Yes!" Ma Tong, Niu Dazhuang, Bai Laosan, Shi Yibiao, and Long Yun 5 people came forward to promise.
