Chapter 140: Seize the front-line position
Sun Bald took the telegram from the herald and read it carefully, he rubbed his eyes and looked at it from the beginning again, "Xu Hu, this kid is really good, things in Hankou have changed significantly. Our people used extraordinary methods to cause violent clashes between the patrol police and the workers, dozens of workers were burned to death, and several patrol officers were also killed. Sun Bald slapped the telegram on the table heavily, "Immediately order the troops of City C to set off immediately to support the Qinghe front, in addition, telegraph to my position in northern Fujian, let them hold their positions for three days, as long as they hold these three days, I will dare to drive Wang Le to the south bank of the Qinghe River, and then immediately wave my army north to help them!" ”
The military attache recorded Sun Baldzi's battle order in detail with a pen, "I suggest that Chief Li can use his relationship with the Japanese to quickly replenish ammunition, as long as his artillery can restore its combat effectiveness, our victory over Wang Le's troops will increase the chances of victory!" ”
Sun Bald shook his head, "It's not easy to say, my Okamura-sensei is cunning and cunning!" Sun Bald said with a Japanese accent, "He has never traded at a loss." At present, we and Wang Le are not clear, they Japanese will not easily show their attitude, if we have an absolute advantage, they are happy to put icing on the cake, if we are passive, they will not be in the snow! ”
The military attache thought for a moment, then drew a circle with a red pen on the map, "The Japanese have been wanting to set up a mine here lately, and this place has a large reserve of tungsten ore. Japan is a resource-poor country, most of their weapons raw materials rely on imports, tungsten ore is an important military material, if we can agree to their conditions... ”
Sun Bald waved his hand, "Even if I wipe out the army, I will not agree to the Japanese plundering our Chinese resources, especially military resources, on our Chinese soil." I studied at the Japanese Army Military Academy, and at that time, all of our admitted students had to go to the army for a period of training first, and there was a saying in the Japanese army that if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer East Asia, and if you want to conquer East Asia, you must first conquer China. ”
Sun Bald took a deep breath, "We will have an extremely difficult battle with Wang Le, tell Li to plant explosives near our cannon." If the enemy really breaks through our defense line and advances towards City A, we will blow up all these cannons and never leave Wang Le's rebels behind. ”
The military attache nodded.
"In addition, our headquarters has moved 10 kilometers forward, I will personally supervise the battle on the front line, and the guard company will organize a supervision army to drive the heavy machine gun for me, and those who dare to say that the defeated and retreating will be killed!" Sun Bald said.
"Marshal, this must not be, the front line is too dangerous, you move the command forward, the enemy is likely to attack our command post." The military attache was deeply worried about Sun Bald's bold decision.
"There will be a heart of death, and there is no greed for life, but my mother's son is gone." Sun Bald put on a military hat to cover his bare head that had already been topped, and walked out of the door. Mao Long grabbed Sun Bald's thigh, "Dashuai, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have given up my position!" ”
"You've done your best, hurry up and get treated!" Sun Bald touched Mao Long's head.
Mao Long pulled out the hand hanging on the support, "No, I lost the position, I took our retreating brothers to rush forward as a commando, even if there is no longer our number, I will drive the rebels out of the front-line position!" ”
Sun Bald was deeply moved, "Okay, I'll match each of you with 10 grenades, you can rest assured that no matter whether you are dead or alive, your number will never be erased." ”
Mao Long saluted a military salute, and only his thumb and index finger were left in the saluted hand, and Sun Bald arranged the collar for him.
Mao Long strode out.
The attack in the past few days has not been smooth, and Wang Le is sitting on pins and needles in the command post on the south bank of the Qing River. Although his team fought extremely bravely, after a few days of attack, three or four out of ten of the vanguard troops became the ghosts of Sun Jun's men.
More than a dozen divisional and regimental-level officers sat around the sand table in front of him, their faces solemn, and everyone's silence carried too much grievance and bitterness. The acting commander of the assault regiment was called Hu Jin, he was originally the commander of the third battalion, and their regiment commander and chief of staff were all killed by the enemy when they commanded the capture of the front-line positions of the Sun army. He saw that Wang Le was slow to speak, and he was very anxious in his heart, "Commander, you have something to say!" The casualties of our brethren in the assault regiment are too heavy, and although we now occupy the front-line position, we are still at a geographical disadvantage, and if we continue to fight like this, we will have to fight out sooner or later! ”
Wang Le is a Confucian general and has always been generous with his troops. The Charge Regiment is the descendant of his lineage, a whole reinforced regiment, with two regiments of troops, if they continue to hold the front-line position, their elite troops will really have no seeds left. Wang Le's thumb kept rubbing the calluses on his middle finger. This is Wang Le's unique action when thinking, he used to play with the pen, because of the posture of holding the pen, the middle finger near the nail grinding a thick callus. Grinding this callus with his hands can help him think seriously and concentrate on it. Wang Le hesitated for a long time, "Zhang Biao! ”
"Yes!" Zhang Biao was the commander of the Second Division under Wang Le.
"Your division drew two regiments and secretly took over the positions captured by the charging regiment while it was dark. Tomorrow morning, when the sky is just shining, a frontal general attack will be launched towards the enemy's position No. 2, with the assault regiment attacking the enemy's left flank and the remaining units of the 1st Brigade attacking the enemy's right flank. Wang Le finally adjusted the operational deployment, he was very worried, "Brothers, all our current forces have been pulled to Qinghe, and the logistics and supplies are all barely maintained by relying on the small town of Qiaoba at the southeast mouth of the south bank. It is in Sun's favor to drag on this battle, so we must strive for a quick victory. ”
Hu Jin was unwilling, "Do you want us to attack the enemy's flank?" Captains... ”
Wang Le slapped the table fiercely, "You shut up for me, do you understand the order ban!" ”
Zhang Biao glanced at Hu Jin with disdain, "He made Sun Bald's troops afraid, and I, the army commander, Zhang Biao, promise you that we will desperately tear open the second line of defense and clear the last stumbling block for us to level City A and City B!" ”
"Okay, let's cook in the room, and let the brothers of the second division have a beautiful meal before they go to the battlefield!" Wang Le said.
Zhang Biao waved his hand, "No need for the army commander, we will eat after taking the second-line position of the Sun army." ”
