Li Fangchen, this bastard! ”

The military headquarters of the 54th Army learned that Li Fangchen had escaped from the battle, and Huo Yuzhang scolded in the military headquarters.

Just now, both the chairman of the committee and Chief Chen sent telegrams to reprimand him, which made him very aggrieved.

But the 18th Division is his troops, and Li Fangchen is the division commander under him, and now that Li Fangchen has run away, he is also an inseparable commander.

In Huo Yuzhang's opinion, it would be nothing if the enemy retreated, but you, Li Fangchen, actually left the troops and ran away.

Didn't you see that Sun Yuanliang escaped from the battle because of the defense of Nanjing, and finally got rid of his responsibility, but he was also idle?

Long Muhan and Xue Weiying are both students of the first phase, didn't the principal say kill them? Although Long Muhan took the blame for Gui Yongqing, it is true that he was engaged in military law.

Does Li Fangchen want to be the third Whampoa student to be executed since the Anti-Japanese War?

"Commander, now it's time to find a way to stabilize the troops and clean up the mess. The fortress of Fuchikou is very important, and if the Japanese army takes the opportunity to capture the fortress in one fell swoop, we will be sinners. Chen Lie on the side was a little anxious.

In the first battle of Wharf Town, the 14th Division suffered heavy losses, and now the remaining strength of the division is less than one-third of the full strength, and it is basically considered to have lost its combat effectiveness.

Even if they had the heart and wanted to support the fortress of Toikeguchi, it would be a little difficult.

"Who else is there in the 18th Division now?" Huo Yuzhang asked.

"Deputy division commander Luo Guangwen, as well as the following regiment commanders, including Qiu Xingxiang, deputy brigade commander of the 54th Brigade and deputy commander of the 107th Regiment, Leng Jie, commander of the 108th Regiment, and...

Chen Lie gave a general introduction to the current situation of the 18th Division, and finally everyone found a problem, the 18th Division now does not even have a principal.

Li Fangchen ran away, and the two brigade commanders below, one of whom died in the battle of Jilong Mountain, was the brigade commander of the 54th Brigade; One ran away with Li Fangchen.

It seems that the current highest commander of the 18th Division is a major general chief of staff, and he is not even a deputy division commander.

It's not that the deputy division commander has run away, but that the deputy division commander has not yet come to take office.

The current deputy commander of the 18th Division is Luo Guangwen, who has just been appointed for less than half a month, and he has not yet come to Wuhan.

"Leng Jie?" Huo Yuzhang thought of the somewhat proud regiment leader, and couldn't help asking, "He seems to have fought well in Zhu Po Mountain?" ”

"I think it is said that the position of his 108th regiment has not been lost until now, and he has also caused the Japanese Pota detachment to lose troops before. The reported data is that more than 1,600 enemies were killed, and 11 Type 94 mountain guns were also captured.

However, the 107th Regiment defended the Jilong Mountain position but did not hold out for a few days before it was lost, which may also be related to Li Fangchen's order to retreat.

But after five consecutive days of Japanese attacks without losing a single position, if it were true, it would be a little scary. ”

Chen Lie thought of the good news reported to the headquarters of the 18th Division, and said it by the way.

"Could it be that tunnel defense plan plus anti-slope tactics are really useful?" Huo Yuzhang also remembered the tactics proposed by Leng Jie, but in the end, because Jiujiang was defeated too quickly, he put it on hold and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Perhaps?" Chen Lie is also a little curious about this Leng Jie now, "It's not a good thing that the 18th Division is currently leaderless, we must find a way to stabilize the morale of the army." ”

"What's your solution?" Huo Yuzhang asked.

Chen Lie thought for a while, "Since Luo Guangwen is the deputy commander of the 18th Division, I will call Commander Chen, hoping that Luo Guangwen can go to his post as soon as possible, act as the division commander, and rectify the defense affairs."

Moreover, the positions of two brigade commanders, the 52nd Brigade and the 54th Brigade, should also be appointed, and the positions should be held first, so as not to be defeated by the Japanese in one fell swoop. ”

"Can you hold it? The Japanese will definitely step up their offensive. Huo Yuzhang said worriedly.

"In fact, as long as Zhu Po Mountain is defended, there is no big problem with the entire Fuchikou Fortress." Chen Lie pointed at Zhu Poshan, "It's just that in this way, the pressure on the 108th Regiment is very great." They have been fighting for so many days, even if it is true that they killed more than 1,600 Japanese soldiers, their own casualties will be very large.

It's hard to say how long it will last. ”

"Then send a report to the 108th regiment and tell them to hold it. As for the positions of the two brigade commanders, leave it to Chief Chen! ”

Huo Yuzhang knew that the position of two brigade commanders was not something he said, and he had to go through the theater command.

However, Huo Yuzhang also made a suggestion that Qiu Xingxiang should act as the commander of the 54th Brigade, and the deputy commander of the 52nd Brigade should act as the commander of the 52nd Brigade.

When the telegram from the military headquarters of the 54th Army was sent to the 9th Theater Command, Chen Cheng took the telegram and fell into deep thought.

"Regret Wu, I remember that the soldiers of the 107th Regiment are mainly those people that Leng Jie brought out from Nanjing!"

Chen Cheng asked Guo Xin on the side.

"That's the case, the deputy head Chen Wei was the head of the teaching team before, and when he broke through from Nanjing, he was Leng Jie's deputy head of the regiment." Guo said after thinking about it.

"Do you think it's better to let Leng Jie act as the commander of the 54th Brigade?" Chen Cheng asked.

"Let Leng Jie act as the commander of the 54th Brigade? Isn't it a little out of place? Thinking of Leng Jie's resume and age, Guo Cheng hesitated a little, "I know that the commander is for the convenience of command, but Leng Jie is only 23 years old, and he was still a lieutenant platoon commander at this time last year, if he is appointed as the acting brigade commander, I am afraid there will be a lot of opposition." ”

"It's not that he is the official brigade commander, but the acting brigade commander." Chen Cheng shook his head, "If he really has the ability to fight, age is not a problem. As long as he can hold the fortress of Fuchikou, even if he is promoted after the war, what does it matter.

The nature of Li Fangchen's escape from the battle was too bad, and the chairman's questioning made me feel a lot of pressure. Now we have to fight a good battle to boost morale, and we don't have to worry too much about the rest. ”

"What about Qiu Xingxiang? Huo Yuzhang asked him to act as the commander of the 54th Brigade. Guo asked asked.

"Let him act as the commander of the 52nd Brigade, as for the person originally recommended by Huo Yuzhang, ignore it, he has no combat merits, and he also wants to be promoted exceptionally? also urged Luo Guangwen to rush to the Fuchikou Fortress within three days to take over the defense. Chen Chengdao.

For the conversation between the two, the other staff officers in the room were a little envious, of course, envious of Leng Jie.

A graduate of the 10th phase of Whampoa, who only graduated two years ago, has now become an acting brigade commander, and the speed of promotion is too fast.

If you don't know the other party's background, just at this promotion speed, you think it's a junior of a certain big guy.

。。。。。。

"Commander, something is wrong!"

In the tunnel of the No. 1 Plateau of Zhupo Mountain, Wang Yanqing came to Leng Jie with a telegram, pulled Leng Jie aside, and lowered his tone.

"What's the matter? So mysterious? Did the Japanese attack us? It seems that in a remote corner, Leng Jie is a little puzzled.

Leng Jie thought it was the Japanese army coming, but it wasn't like that.

Since the Japanese army changed the direction of attack and attacked Jilong Mountain, Leng Jie asked his men to strengthen the position of Zhu Po Mountain, widen or abandon some collapsed tunnels, consolidate the main tunnel, and let the personnel assemble in the main tunnel.

For those abandoned tunnels, Leng Jie also asked people to set up some places, which can be regarded as a gift for the Japanese army.

If Jilong Mountain is lost, the Japanese army will definitely attack the position of Zhu Po Mountain again, and Leng Jie thought that Wang Yanqing was talking about this.

"It's not the Japanese army's business, it's the division headquarters that has an accident." Wang Yanqing said in a low voice.

"Division? What's wrong? ”

Leng Jie was stunned.

"Division Commander Li left the army last night and disappeared, and now the entire Fuchikou fortress is leaderless."

"What?"

Hearing that Li Fangchen was about to escape, Leng Jie was also confused, this can also be encountered?

He is still on the top of Zhu Po Mountain, and the fortress of Fuchikou is not unbearable, so he runs a hammer.
