Chapter 1188: Engaging the Enemy

Immediately after, Zhong Yi's second telegram also arrived.

A staff officer at the division headquarters handed over Zhong Yi's latest telegram order to Zhong Guangren.

After reading the telegram, Zhong Guangren's brows immediately frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "Keep a distance of 20 kilometers from the enemy and go around in circles, and you are not allowed to leave without authorization, and you are not allowed to attack without authorization?" The general operational principle is 16 words: When the enemy is stationed and we disturb, when the enemy is tired, we fight, when the enemy advances, when the enemy retreats, I pursue? What the fuck is this? Do you regard our Central Army as a **? ”

Zhong Guangren had followed He Jian to encircle and suppress the Red Army in his early years, so he was deeply impressed by the Red Army's 16-character policy, and of course, he also suffered the losses of this 16-character policy.

But if Zhong Guangren admits that this 16-character policy is very powerful, it is absolutely impossible.

The so-called duck has a dead mouth and a hard mouth, which is probably Zhong Guangren's kind of person.

Tao Liu took the telegram from Zhong Guangren's hand and read it, and his face was not very good-looking.

Needless to say, during this period, the high-ranking generals of the Kuomintang Army despised our party and our army to the extreme, and even though they suffered losses under the Red Army, they did not think that their ability was inadequate, still less that the Red Army's operational guidelines were effective, but insisted that it was because of their internal indoctrination that they were ineffective in suppressing bandits.

But now, Zhong Yi has asked them to adopt the Red Army's local strategy of the Central Army, which makes them feel embarrassed by the high-ranking generals of the party-state, who regard themselves very highly.

However, Tao Liu's eyes swept again, and he saw Liu Tianhu standing not far away with a gun.

Then Tao Liu thought of Liu Jianxu again, and even Liu Jianxu went to Fujian Province to be the chairman and director of appeasement, and he couldn't provoke Zhong Yi even more with a small division commander.

At that moment, Tao Liu said sullenly: "Brother Guangren, carry out the order." ”

"Yes!" Zhong Guangren agreed, and immediately turned back to the herald behind him and said, "Immediately send the order of the former enemy's staff headquarters to the main regiments and directly subordinate battalions." ”

……

Zhong Yi didn't expect that the first to engage the enemy was Rong Yishi.

At about two o'clock in the morning, Zhong Yi, who was napping in the lounge, was suddenly woken up by someone gently.

When Zhong Yi opened his eyes anxiously, he saw Xu Chao standing in front of his shelf bed, stretching out his hand to push him.

Seeing that Zhong Yi had woken up, Xu Chao whispered: "Counselor, Rong Yishi just sent an urgent telegram, saying that he has already caught fire with the devil outside Fuyang County!" ”

"What, Rong Yishi?" Zhong Yi was taken aback, "What's the matter?" ”

Since he became the chief of staff of the enemy before the Battle of Zhejiang-Fujian, Zhong Yi has focused his main energy on the rectification of the 10th Group Army, and has basically not paid much attention to the 41st Group Army.

Of course, this is mainly because Zhong Yi trusts the 41st Group Army.

After all, it is the old army he brought out from the battlefield in Wuhan, and the foundation is hard!

Zhong Yi always thought that the main force of the 41st Group Army should have just entered Zhejiang Province at this moment, and even the honorary first division as the vanguard should have just arrived near Jiande at this moment.

Zhong Yi's request for the 41st Group Army was also to rush to Jiande within three days.

Unexpectedly, the Honorary First Division suddenly appeared in Fuyang County, and got on fire with the devils before the Tenth Army, which was really beyond Zhong Yi's expectations.

At that moment, Zhong Yi got up in his clothes and hurriedly returned to the war room.

Seeing Zhong Yi coming in, He Wenxi, who had panda eyes, immediately greeted him.

Without waiting for Zhong Yi to ask, He Wenxi said: "Counselor, it was the Hankou camp that caught fire with the devils outside Fuyang City. ”

The Hankou Battalion is the battalion that died in the Hankou Railway Station, and the Command Department specially named the Hankou Battalion in recognition of the merits of this battalion, which is a rare honor in the entire national army sequence.

"Hankow camp?" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "The current battalion commander should be Li Weizhou, right?" ”

"That's him." He Wenxi said, "Counselor, this battalion is really incredible, four days and nights forced to march more than 500 miles, and it is simply scared to death from the front of the source to Fuyang County." ”

Zhong Yi wanted to say that when the Red Army flew to capture the Luding Bridge, it was not much worse than the Hankou battalion.

However, when the words came to his mouth, he still let Zhong Yi swallow it back, there are many people, and it is better to say less.

"Now that the Hankou camp has arrived in Fuyang County, don't think about sleeping with the devils." After saying this, Zhong Yi smiled slightly and continued, "The hard days of being independently mixed into the 11th Brigade are coming. ”

……

The brigade commander of the 11th Brigade Regiment, Fujii Sueyoshi, did not think so.

Knowing that the 1st Infantry Brigade stationed at the private salt bridge was suddenly attacked by the Chinese army, Fujii Sueyoshi didn't take this to heart at all, turned over and went back to sleep.

The success before this gave Fujii Sueyoshi an illusion.

Fujii Sueyoshi took it for granted that the Chinese army had lost its fighting spirit, and even if there was occasional resistance, it could only be some meaningless resistance like the Chinese patrol officers who had been in the East Gate Tower of Fuyang before.

Such resistance poses no threat to the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade.

So, Fujii Sueyoshi has reason to believe that the battle will soon be over.

However, after another half an hour, the gunfire in the direction of the private salt bridge did not become smaller, but became more intense, and even dense explosions rang out.

As a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, Fujii Suekichi immediately distinguished that the sound of the explosion coming from the direction of the private salt bridge was by no means the sound of a grenade exploding, but the sound of a mortar shell exploding, and the caliber of the mortar was at least 90mm or more!

With so much gunfire and intensity, and with mortars, Fujii finally realized that the Chinese army attacking the Salt Bridge was not a rabble, but an elite formation.

Sure enough, the 1st Infantry Brigade stationed at the private salt bridge soon sent signal corps to report that they had been attacked by at least one regiment of Chinese troops!

Moreover, the Chinese army is also equipped with heavy firepower.

Therefore, let the brigade headquarters immediately transfer artillery reinforcements.

After receiving a distress letter from the 1st Infantry Brigade, Fujii Sueyoshi did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ordered the 3rd Infantry Brigade, the Independent Cavalry Brigade, and the 11th Independent Mountain Artillery Brigade to assemble quickly.

Ten minutes later, the independent cavalry took the lead in rushing to the aid of the private salt bridge.

However, when the independent cavalry team arrived at the battlefield of Salt Bridge, they found that the battle was over.

Because it was night, and the exact situation of the enemy was not clear, the cavalry did not rush into pursuit.

After another half an hour, Fujii Suekichi led the 3rd Infantry Brigade to the Salt Bridge.

"Your Excellency, General!" The captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade, Ichi Kato, hurriedly greeted him and said to Fujii Sue Yodon, "I've caused you trouble with my humble duties. ”
