Li Ziyuan nodded to Gao Ping on the map and said: "Just like the 16th Independent Brigade in front of you, it is a miscellaneous card in this puppet army, and it is a nail planted by the Japanese army and Nanjing." The old fox in Jincheng couldn't wait to beat them up sooner, so he might be even happier. It is basically impossible to make him work hard to rescue. ”

"If we hadn't used him to cut him down, he wouldn't have reinforced him if he had replaced someone else. If the rest of the puppet army in the department were surrounded, the rest of the troops might go all out to the rescue. It's such a nail inserted by the Japanese army, these people are eager to get rid of it as soon as possible, let alone reinforce it. ”

"These people are all from Chongqing, and the intrigue between the central army and the miscellaneous army, and between the miscellaneous army and the miscellaneous army, is not something that ordinary people can understand. Especially for the puppet army generals who sell themselves for glory and most of them come from miscellaneous backgrounds, the barrel of a gun is everything to them. Friendly troops are in trouble and do not move like a mountain, this is the tradition there. ”

"It's all boiled out of the whirlpool of decades of civil war, and everyone knows the little bit of family wealth in their hands. No one would die for someone else, even if someone else is their friend who supports each other. Especially in the eyes of some, friendly forces are even more terrible than enemies. ”

"Don't forget, man, that commander-in-chief of theirs was planted in the hands of his own friendly forces during the Battle of the Five Horses and the Rejection of Sun. He relied on stealing the imperial tombs and selling opium, and the 60,000 troops he painstakingly managed were lost to the two friendly armies of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army. After suffering such a big loss, can he honestly do it again? ”

"I guess these puppet troops are still circling around their respective garrisons. Especially the puppet army without the supervision of the Japanese army, the movement will be even slower. Therefore, what we need to do now is to respond to all changes with the same. What to do, or what to do? When the puppet army in Jincheng is dispatched, we have time to be nervous. ”

"Of course, we still have to take some precautions now. No one can guarantee that the hostile situation will develop exactly as we judge. However, it is still a bit premature to say that in the current situation, the overall deployment posture should be adjusted. I sent out the reconnaissance company, and it would be enough to extend the positions of the alert troops. ”

Looking at Li Ziyuan, who didn't care a little, Ma Yongcheng was just about to persuade him. His topic was interrupted by the earth-shattering explosion that sounded in He Sanliang's direction. The intensity of the explosion this time made the command headquarters, which was three kilometers away from He Sanliang's side, shake. The sound of gunfire throughout the battlefield was interrupted for a while.

Hearing this explosion, Li Ziyuan and Ma Yongcheng glanced at each other, knowing that this was He Sanliang's blasting, which must have been successful. This loud noise can only be made by hundreds of catties*. Even if the Gaoping city wall is strong, it can't withstand the blasting of hundreds of catties.

The city wall collapsed, which meant that He Sanliang entered the city. As long as He Sanliang attacks, there will actually be no suspense in this Gaoping battle. After solving the enemy of Gaoping, other things are no longer a problem. This explosion also made Ma Yongcheng's idea of persuading Li Ziyuan completely dispelled.

More than 100 catties* contained in a coffin blew a hole more than 300 meters long in the Gaoping city wall at one time. And He Sanliang didn't wait for the smoke from the blasting to fall, while the puppet army in the city hadn't reacted yet. He concentrated all the troops in his hands and launched an attack on all fronts towards the breakthrough that had been opened.

When the loud charge horn sounded through the collapsed city wall, Liu Haishan on the other side frowned, and said to the regimental chief of staff who had just arrived at his post: "Lao Zhang, give the order to attack on all fronts." There was not a single one left in the whole regiment, and they all rushed into the city for me. If anyone falls behind the local troops, Lao Tzu will turn around and punish him. ”

Because of the previous battle, Liu Haishan, who felt a little embarrassed, gave the order for the whole regiment to attack, obviously against He Sanliang over there. It's not that he looks down on He Sanliang, in fact, since he was transferred to work in this unit, he still recognizes He Sanliang's ability.

At least in his opinion, He Sanliang's staff service is absolutely first-class in the whole army, and he is definitely a fairly qualified chief of staff. Every time you fight and fight, everything is in order. As far as the entire Taihang Military Region is concerned, it can be said that it is the best regimental chief of staff.

It will not be like the chief of staff of some combat units, who are in a mess of staff business, and only care about rushing forward on the battlefield. When it comes to big blade killing, he is a good hand, but he doesn't understand what the chief of staff should do, let alone figure it out. For these cadres, the trivial matters that the chief of staff should take care of are far less than the pleasure they have on the battlefield

If He Sanliang really didn't have any ability, he wouldn't have let Li Ziyuan take such a big risk and push a captured person over there to such an important position as the chief of staff. Li Ziyuan's vision of people, Liu Haishan is quite admired. When He Sanliang was promoted to the division, Liu Haishan still had a lot of wrists with the organization department for a while.

But what He Sanliang commanded over there were some local backbone armed forces such as independent battalions. Now he actually rushed ahead of him, and the whole army broke into the city, which undoubtedly made him, who had been delayed at the breakthrough for too long, feel that he had been insulted. From He Sanliang, the chief of staff, to almost all the battalion and company commanders, none of them are good at stubble.

Most of them can even be called both military and political. Although some of the higher-ups and Li Ziyuan were transferred, the quality of these cadres who remained was the same. This qi is not aimed at He Sanliang personally, but at the battlefield situation. The reason is very simple, the army he took over fought countless tough battles in the hands of Li Ziyuan.

It can be said that the battle was wonderful, and the first battle of Cross Ridge used the strength of a reinforced battalion to tear a hole in the encirclement of the puppet army for thousands of days, covering a large number of non-combatants at the headquarters to rush out. Not to mention other battles, this one battle can be called exciting.

Although he did not participate in the magnificent battle of rivers and mountains at the beginning, the arrogance accumulated by this army in the hands of Li Ziyuan also made him feel it deeply after he took office. In just a few years, the guerrilla backbone armed forces in a local area have been forced to become a first-class main force regiment of a military region. This regiment should have its own arrogance.

The Taihang Great Meritorious Regiment, the military flag personally awarded by the division commander when he left, is written like this. Before being transferred to this unit, when the head of the military region was looking for a conversation, the commander, political commissar, deputy commander, and deputy political commissar were present almost simultaneously. I asked him if he could maintain the honor of this regiment.

At that time, when he was taken aback by the situation of talking to him, Liu Haishan realized that his old comrade-in-arms had made any moves in the entire Taihang Military Region in Ludong in the past few years. At that time, I didn't know how he answered.

The unit he has now taken over, which has been particularly valued by the superior chiefs, is now lagging behind a group of local armed forces in terms of progress. He couldn't swallow this anger at all. Whatever the reason, he simply couldn't accept it. As soon as He Sanliang's charge sounded, he also launched a full-line assault.

The honor of the first army to break into the city was snatched away by He Sanliang, so the honor of defeating the headquarters of the puppet independent 16th Brigade and capturing the so-called major general and brigade commander alive would not be given to He Sanliang no matter what. He is the main regiment and falls behind the local armed forces, what is this like? This makes him, the main leader, how to face his subordinates in the future?

And He Sanliang and Liu Haishan broke through on all fronts, and the troops attacking the city were competing with each other, desperately speeding up the speed of development. Du Mo'an, the commander of the puppet 16th Independent Brigade in the city, was like a trapped beast in the face of the shouts of killing in the city, and in the face of the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, no matter how he urged, it was a set of high-sounding old words to reply, and he was constantly jumping like thunder.

The Japanese army adviser Nakamura Masataka beside him constantly sent telegrams to Jincheng, Xinxiang, Changzhi, and even Luoyang. In his tone, he could almost say that he was tearful, asking for their quick reinforcements, or urging the reinforcements to arrive. As it is now, when reinforcements arrive, their bones are cold.

But the reply from Jincheng was always that the reinforcements had already set off, and I hope they will continue to hold on for a while, as long as they stick to it, there will definitely be a way. Regarding the return call from the Jincheng side, Du Mo'an said violently: "Lao Tzu's troops are about to run out now, how can I insist." ”

"From last night to now, this little capital in my hands is no longer one out of ten, and my last pistol battalion has been pulled up. What about reinforcements? A whole night has passed, where are the people? Gaoping is only less than a hundred kilometers away from Jincheng, such a distance, now even if you climb it, you can climb it? ”

"What is the idea in his grandson's heart, don't fucking think Lao Tzu doesn't know. This old bastard thinks that my troops are in the way of his affairs, and now he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of me with the hand of the Eighth Road. His method of killing people with a knife, I really can't see it if I'm a fool? ”

Looking at this thunderous old man, Nakamura Masataka was a little speechless. He has been working as an adviser to the puppet army for some time. He is still very clear about the intrigue between these puppet army generals. But he really didn't expect that at a critical time, these people would not forget to tear each other down.

But the problem is that what he can do now is to send a telegram for help over and over again to his boss who is a consultant on the Jincheng side over there. Although he is a young man, the problem is that he has no soldiers in his hands. It is true that the arms distribution of this puppet army, as well as the power of food and salary, are in his hands, but he does not directly lead the troops to fight.

On weekdays, this is a huge fat shortage of oil and water, but the problem is that at a critical moment, the intrigue between the Chinese has put itself in. Your brother is still trapped now, and I'm not in danger now? Your brother doesn't want to die, but I want to live too.

Gritting his teeth, he has been in China for several years, has served in the Kwantung Army and North China for many years, and Nakamura Masataka, who speaks fluent Chinese, said: "Du Jun, scolding now can't solve the problem." I have armed all the expatriates in the city, and with these expatriates in the war, I think I will be able to hold out for a while. ”

"I think the most important thing we should do now is not to complain, but to sit down and figure out what to do next. Whether to continue to hold on here and wait for reinforcements, or to find a way to break through. Du Jun, this is the most important question we should consider. If we want to settle accounts after the autumn, first of all, we have to save our lives to settle accounts. ”
