Early in the morning, when General Huang of the Jindong Front Headquarters was squatting at the gate of the headquarters office with a mouthful of white teeth and foaming at the mouth of the tea jar, the colonel's adjutant of the headquarters rushed from the communication office not far away, and with a strange face, he wanted to hand the telegram in his hand to the Supreme Commander of the Jindong Front for viewing.

"Read!" Admiral Huang wrapped up a mouthful of water and muttered impatiently.

The telegram that came early in the morning would never be the headquarters of the commander of the Second Theater or the headquarters, but in all likelihood, it would come from the front-line departments, and it would either be for the supply of guns and ammunition or for food supplies, which made General Huang really worried.

He is the commander of the theater of operations, and he is responsible for directing operations, not a nurse who is responsible for delivering food and drink. Even if he is a nurse, there are 100,000 people on the front line, and he doesn't have such big milk, and all armies, divisions, brigades and regiments can take care of it. No amount of milk will be sucked out by these bastards!

"Commander Huang Junjian, deputy commander of the Second Theater of Operations, reports on the current emergency military situation, the officers and men of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of our 18th Group Army and the 385th Brigade are fighting fiercely with the enemy's 26th Artillery Wing fifteen miles before Niangzi Pass, and I request that the armies on the front line of Niangzi Pass and Jiuguan carry out a counterattack on all fronts after our artillery bombardment of the enemy on the front line, do not let the enemy flee north, and must completely annihilate the enemy's 77th Infantry Wing and the 78th Infantry Wing on our Jindong front, and Liu Deng of the 129th Division will be respected." The adjutant read a message almost tremblingly.

There was a brief silence, and General Huang, who was still rolling water back and forth to clean his mouth with his cheeks puffed out, stared at the adjutant who read the telegram in disbelief, and the colonel's adjutant was furious, and muttered: "After calling back to confirm, it was indeed sent by the headquarters of the 129th Division, and the message codes have been verified。。。。。。 ”

"Poof"

At this time, Admiral Huang was not foaming at the mouth, but foaming at the mouth. The poor colonel's adjutant didn't dare to hide, his face was covered with white foam by the commander's spray, and the grievances and the weirdness that were already there, not to mention the appearance of the angry little daughter-in-law.

The admiral wiped the corners of his mouth with the towel handed by the orderlies, waved at the orderlies and ordered him to leave, threw the towel to the frothy adjutant and motioned for him to wipe his face, reached out to take the telegram in his hand, and turned around and walked into the office while reading.

The adjutant wiped his face as he quickly followed.

"How many front-line troops did the 18th Division of the 129th Army report to the headquarters?" Walking into the office, General Huang, who picked up a pencil and carefully circled the map, asked without raising his head.

"Report to the commander, in addition to the more than 4,000 people of the 386th Brigade stationed in Qiqian Village before, the main force of the 129th Division that sent troops to the front line the day before yesterday reached more than 8,000 people, and the total number of people in the division is more than 12,000 people." The colonel's adjutant did not dare to slack off, opened the folder he carried with him, swept his eyes over the battle report, and immediately reported it loudly.

"Then was he fighting fiercely with the 20th Division's detour in Fish Town early yesterday morning?" Admiral Huang asked again.

"Yes, yesterday the 129th Division reported that the main force of the 129th Division is fighting fiercely with the main force of nearly 6,000 Japanese troops in the area of Qiqian Village." The adjutant reported.

With a "bang", after drawing two circles on the map of the frontline positions of Qiqian Village and Niangziguan, the commander of the Jindong front threw the pencil directly on the table, and his voice was raised several octaves, "Is he Liu Bojian crazy?" A division of only 12,000 people, with the help of terrain worries to block a main infantry brigade of the Japanese army, is no longer enough, and even has to draw out nearly one-third of the strength of an infantry brigade to sneak attack the Japanese artillery wing dozens of miles away. It is simply unreasonable to ask the rest of the army in my Jindong Theater to send troops to cooperate. Pass on my order to let him hold his position and not make any surprise victories, otherwise, I will report to the headquarters of the commander of the second theater and admonish him. ”

Admiral Huang is so angry, naturally he has a reason. The 129th Division held the flank of the entire Niangzi Pass, and if it was lost, the entire Niangzi Pass defense line could collapse. Fortunately, the 129th Division blocked it, the main force of the 22nd Group Army had already arrived at the front line, and it only took a few more hours for them to reinforce the Qigan Village area.

In addition, in the early morning, the commander in chief of Nanjing personally deployed the Chinese Air Force to kill 24 fighters of two Japanese army aviation squadrons.

So Commander Huang finally had a good night's sleep last night, and it was very sweet, that he knew that early in the morning, the 129th Division would give him such a shot, just a few hours away, even if the Japanese offensive was fierce, he could support the Jindong front for at least more than a week, but now it has become dangerous. How do you say Commander Huang is not angry?

If it weren't for the fact that Division Commander Liu was still above him and had the rank of lieutenant general, I am afraid that the commander of the Jindong Theater, who was only added to the rank of lieutenant general in September, would have directly scolded him in the telegram.

"But, Commander, if the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division attacks the position of the 26th Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army, destroys those cannons and even uses them for our use, wouldn't the danger of our army's front line be solved?" The colonel's adjutant licked his somewhat dry lips and let go of his fantasies.

"Humph! If the Japanese artillery positions had been attacked so well, wouldn't I have used this trick? According to intelligence, the infantry strength of the Japanese defensive artillery positions is as high as 1,200 people, and the distance between the two infantry wings is no more than 8 kilometers. Even if it's unprepared. Admiral Huang couldn't help but sneer and said.

"Difficult! It's too hard. Under the job, I am not sure of this. The colonel's adjutant's face was a little dejected.

Obviously, from a personal emotional point of view, he really hoped that the 129th Division would be successful in this battle.

However, this analysis of Admiral Huang shattered his beautiful expectations.

"Humph! The 18th Group Army ambushed the Japanese in the first battle of Pingxingguan in September and annihilated 1,000 of them. He actually started to take millet from the fire, and attacked them in the heart among thousands of Japanese soldiers, which was really a mistake for the Japanese invaders, and it was extremely stupid. Admiral Huang snorted coldly again, "Give a telegram order to Commander Zeng of the Third Army to strictly defend the position, and no one is allowed to take a step out of the position without my military order." In addition, the headquarters of the 22nd Group Army was ordered to stop repairing and immediately set off for the area from Qiqian Village to Shimen Village to establish a defensive line, and not to let a single soldier of the Japanese invaders threaten the rear flank of the main position of our Niangziguan. ”

The colonel's adjutant walked out of the headquarters for three minutes after receiving the order, and came back again with a bitter face, "Chief Huang, Commander Zeng of the Third Army called and said that Lieutenant General Liu, commander of the 129th Division, asked him to prepare the whole army and send troops to fight against the 78th Infantry Wing of the Japanese invaders at any time. ”

"Click!" General Huang, who had just calmed down a little bit of depression in his heart, directly broke the pencil in his hand, his eyes widened angrily, and he roared angrily: "What does he Liu Bojian want to do?" The sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages, he does not respect the military order and acts recklessly, if this leads to the loss of the Niangzi Pass position, he is the sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages. I sent a telegram to the headquarters of the 129th Division, ordering him to immediately abandon the battle with the Japanese and return to his defense area, otherwise he would be subject to wartime military law. ”

The commander of the Jindong Theater who was extremely annoyed, thinking about it, didn't plan to save face for Lieutenant General Liu this time.

But, on the battlefield. Face, this thing, has always been fought back by fists, not by others.

As if in order to save the raging anger of the supreme commander of the Jindong Theater, the sound of artillery rumbling more than ten miles away.

"The Japanese artillery has opened fire again, and if you think about it, one of his Liu Bojian's infantry brigades is also finished." Hearing the sound of artillery coming from afar, Admiral Huang showed a trace of pain on his face, and sat on the chair with a somewhat depressed ass.

Whether an infantry brigade of the Eighteenth Army lives or dies is obviously not the reason for the general's suffering, what he cares about is the safety of the battlefield on the flank of Niangziguan. Having lost an infantry brigade or even more, and the 129th Division, which had been reduced to a strength similar to the Japanese army, could it withstand the 6,000 main force of the Japanese army for several hours? Will they be able to hold out until the arrival of the 22nd Army?

Obviously, in his opinion, this is extremely difficult.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and on the other end of the phone was Zeng Wanzhong, the commander of the Third Army of the Central Army on the Niangziguan front.

Because the phone is easy to be tapped, encrypted telegrams are generally used when there is an important military intelligence report, but obviously, Commander Zeng at this time did not take this into account.

Although what he reported was an extremely important military situation.

The eyes of the commander of the Jindong Theater suddenly widened.

Really, at least in the colonel's adjutant's opinion, he finally believed the exaggerated description of the book's eyes that were wider than brass bells. That's really not an exaggeration, it's realistic.

Commander Huang's eyes were really wide open.

"Commander Zeng, are you sure that the Japanese positions are being shelled? Moreover, is it a 105 howitzer? The supreme commander of the Jindong Theater asked this question weakly in a voice that was almost moaning, and he had never thought of it.

Even if he had ever thought that the first lady was really beautiful.

Happiness is what everyone expects.

But when a beggar suddenly wins five million, or a president says he wants to be his buddy, it is estimated that the first thing he feels at that time must not be happiness.

At this moment, Commander Huang is like the beggar who was hit in the head by something called "fantasy" and was already a little stupid.

The eyes are round, and the upper and lower tooth plates are clearly visible, if you put a beard on him, and put a few small flags behind him, he will get rid of a white-faced version of Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, or the kind that screams in front of the longboard bridge to scare off millions of soldiers.
