Chapter 301: Rushing to Wutai County
Datong was completely occupied by the Japanese army long before Yang Chen led the guard battalion from the Yellow River crossing, so the army did not encounter even a single person along the way, and almost all the villages they passed through were ten rooms and nine empty, and the only ones that were not empty were also occupied by the wild boars coming down from the mountains as nests.
Wutai County is located in the northeast of Shanxi, east of the stretching and straight Taihang Mountain, and Hebei border.
300 miles to the southwest is the main battlefield of Xinkou, where the fighting is most fierce at this moment.
In the northern part of Wutai County, there are dozens of hills of various sizes, and I don't know whether it is due to excessive deforestation or drought and lack of rain, there are not many trees on the mountains, and they are not big.
It is so scarce that it cannot even be used for Tibetans.
The first army of the Japanese army fought from the Black Tiger Gorge to Wutai County, and the northern mountainous area of Wutai Mountain was their must pass.
The city wall of Wutai County is low, and it cannot withstand the Japanese artillery bombardment at all, and this place serves as the northern barrier of Wutai County, if it is lost; It is equivalent to the opening of the north gate of Wutai County, and the loss of the county will become inevitable.
If Wutai County is lost, the Japanese army can pass through Wutai County and drive straight into the main battlefield of Xinkou; You can even make a detour to the back of the Chinese army and stab them in the back.
Therefore, the strategic location of Wutai County is particularly important.
Now stationed in Wutai County is the security commander Wen Xiansheng, and there are only two squadrons of more than 1,000 security teams in his department.
Regarding the imminent transfer of the guard battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army to take over the defense task of Wutai County, he has already received an order.
Therefore, when Yang Chen and others rushed to Wutai County with their troops, Commander Wen had already taken some left-behind officials from the county town out of the city to greet them, waiting for a long time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, which one is Advisor Yang?" When Wen Xiansheng saw the arrival of the troops, he immediately greeted him and asked with a smile.
Because Yang Chen's title of tactical adviser in the second theater is far louder than the title of commander of the guard battalion of the 358th Regiment, except for the soldiers of the guard company, most people basically call him Advisor Yang.
"I'm Yang Chen, are you?" Yang Chen asked.
"The contemptible person is Wen Xiansheng, the security commander of Wutai County, who has received instructions from Shangfeng, and specially greeted Advisor Yang and your soldiers here, from now on, I will be the garrison brigade of Wutai County, with Advisor Yang, you will be the first to look forward to the horse, and you will obey your orders!" Wang Gongyu said with a smile.
In addition to compliments, there is also flattery.
You must know that Yang Chen, a tactical adviser, is just a fictitious position, but his power is so great that he has the right to order and instruct any unit in the entire Second War Zone.
Moreover, Yang Chen is a popular man of Yan Laoxi, the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, and it is said that Chief Yan intended to promote him, but he refused.
After the reason for the refusal was exposed, it was even more admirable!
Chief Yan was not angry, but admired Yang Chen even more, promising that his reward would always be kept for him, and when he wanted it, he could go to him at any time.
This incident is also rumored to be a good story.
Of course, the most important thing is that because of Yang Chen's military talent, he has repeatedly won more with less, and defeated the strong with the weak.
Reverse a defeat that cannot be reversed in the eyes of others!
His military exploits are unprecedented!
As far as the present situation is concerned, in the entire Chinese military circles, there is not a single person whose combat ability is better than the best, and there is no one who can even match it.
If you have a good relationship with Yang Chen now, won't you be worried about not being able to reap benefits in the future?
"Oh, it turned out to be Commander Wen, fortunately." Yang Chen saluted with a serious expression, and then said, "In this case, please ask Commander Wen to immediately mobilize the people of the whole city to assist us in building fortifications!"
Wen Xiansheng looked embarrassed: "This, please forgive me for being powerless, because of geographical reasons, Wutai County has been repeatedly bombed by the Japanese army before, and the people in the city have already fled for ten rooms and nine emptiness." Therefore, I am afraid that I will not be able to complete this order of Advisor Yang!" Starting
"In this case, then please ask Commander Wen to lead all the security team members to build fortifications with our department, it is better for the people to go, we have no worries, once the Japanese army invades, we can go all out to fight against the Japanese invaders!" Yang Chen said.
"What does Advisor Yang mean that the devil will fight Wutai County?" Wen Xiansheng said a little disapprovingly.
At first, he only received an order from the upper hand, saying that Yang Chen was here to take over the security team of Wutai County, but he didn't know the specific reason at all.
In order to turn the tide of the war, the Japanese army has increased its troops in large numbers, and successively sent the first army to Xinkou, but was intercepted by my troops in Datong.
Subsequently, the 14th Division was sent to replace the First Army and continue the attack on Datong.
And the First Army, which withdrew from the Black Tiger Gorge, made a detour to Wutai County, intending to make a detour from here to Xinkou to stab the back of the army in the Second War Zone! Yang Chen responded coldly.
"Advisor Yang, is your news accurate?" Wen Xiansheng frowned and asked.
"Do you think I'm going to joke with you about it?"
Wen Xiansheng saw that Yang Chen, Huo Zhengyun and the others were all unkind, and he was a little angry. Hurriedly smiled and apologized: "Advisor Yang is reasonable, reasonable, Advisor Yang is a famous anti-Japanese general, a national hero, and a favorite general of Chief Yan, but if there is a dispatch, Wen will strictly implement it!"
I will immediately gather people on call at any time, and listen to your instructions from Advisor Yang, and do what you say! ”
Yang Chen was a little satisfied, nodded and said: "Then please ask Commander Wen to act quickly, build the fortifications as soon as possible, so that we can protect Wutai County with peace of mind and live up to the expectations of the peak!"
"Yes!" Wen Xiansheng immediately saluted decently, and then beckoned a group of subordinate officials behind him to go back and gather people.
Not long after, more than 1,000 people of the Wutai County Security Brigade were assembled, and a total of more than 3,000 people joined forces with the 358th Regiment Guard Battalion and the 14th Army Guard Regiment to build fortifications in the northern mountains of Wutai County.
As for the urban defense of Wutai County, it was directly abandoned by Yang Chen.
After all, as long as the northern mountainous area is held, Wutai County will be impregnable, and if the northern mountainous area is lost, the city defense of Wutai County will be no different from a piece of tissue paper under the artillery fire of the Japanese army, and there is no need to defend it at all.
Yang Chen personally commanded the soldiers to dig trenches, foxholes, air-raid shelters and other fortifications in the northern mountains of Wutai County in strict accordance with his requirements. The web is updated the fastest
Even though the Japanese First Army suffered repeated defeats, it was killed and wounded by the coalition forces led by Yang Chen.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse after all, and even now, the first army of the Japanese army still gathered 15,000 people and slaughtered towards Wutai County.
If it were replaced by other armies, even if it was 30,000 men, it might not be able to resist the attack of the Japanese First Army.
And Yang Chen's guard battalion, plus Huo Zhengyun's guard regiment, and Wen Xiansheng's security brigade, the total number of people together is only in the early 3,000s.
Whether he can resist the attack of the Japanese First Army, Rao is as strong as Yang Chen, and he does not have much confidence in his heart.
