Chapter 1386: A Battle to the Death
Liu He was also suddenly sad, wiped a handful of tears and turned around and left, as an excellent commander, he must be decisive in killing, sacrificing small righteousness and reserving great righteousness, everyone understands the truth, but the real implementation is really a kind of heart-wrenching pain.
Soon after Liu He left, Jiang Haoran quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and ordered Lin Long to bring a map of Qinzhou, spread it out on the coffee table in front of him and study it carefully, he was still a little unwilling, hoping to find a way out for Tang Enbo.
After a while, Liu He turned back again, stood still in front of Jiang Haoran, but did not speak, Jiang Haoran raised his legs slightly, but just stared at Liu He's legs in front of the coffee table, and said in a deep voice: "What did the old chief say?" ”
Liu He said in a deep voice: "Commander Tang said, your disposal is right, if he makes the brothers increase more unnecessary casualties because of him, then he will not be at ease under Jiuquan, so he doesn't blame you, but he and all the soldiers of the Qing 226th Division and the Qing 227th Division ask for a decisive battle." ”
"A battle to the death? What is a battle to the death? Jiang Haoran finally raised his head.
Liu He said: "They don't want to be trapped and starved to death by the enemy, and they hope that they can inflict heavy damage on the enemy when their combat effectiveness is at their strongest and their weapons and ammunition are sufficient, so they are ready to launch a full-front counterattack against the frontal enemy this afternoon, until the last bullet is exhausted and the last person is killed." ”
Jiang Haoran was shocked, and he was clearly shocked by this determination, and he muttered after a long time: "The old chief is worthy of being an 'anti-Japanese iron man', worthy of being an anti-Japanese iron man......"
In fact, Tang Enbo is a controversial figure in history, and some people say that his military discipline is corrupt, and the quality of the troops under his jurisdiction is uneven, and in order to maintain military spending, he has expropriated and extorted money in the flood-stricken areas, making the people miserable, and even leaving behind the infamy of "water and drought locust soup".
Some people also say that he betrayed his mentor Chen Yi and is an out-and-out despicable villain.
But in any case, he was indeed a great meritorious player on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and the famous Nankou Battle and Taierzhuang Victory were all fought by his troops, and he was also a small number of famous anti-Japanese generals who were feared by the people of the island country, and history should not erase his achievements.
And the reason why Jiang Haoran respects him and reuses him is probably also based on this.
Getting back to business, seeing that Jiang Haoran didn't speak, Liu He said again: "General seat, do you think we should accomplish their feat?" ”
Jiang Haoran replied: "Bai Chongxi once said: 'Only Sun Lianzhong can fight positional warfare, and it is Zhang Zizhong who can attack and defend, but only Tang Enbo can fight the most flexible sports warfare,' If this evaluation is pertinent, maybe they can escape the catastrophe." ”
"Ah......" Liu He's eyes immediately lit up, and he exclaimed: "Boss, do you have a way to save them?" ”
Jiang Haoran knocked on the map on the coffee table and said: "I can't say anything, it can only be regarded as a dead horse as a live horse doctor, I just took a closer look at the map, more than 20 kilometers behind them is 100,000 mountains, since they can have the determination to fight to the death, maybe they can tear the enemy's encirclement in the rear, as long as they can enter the 100,000 mountains, the little devils can't help them in a short time, if they can escape the current crisis, they may be able to cross this jungle and enter the border of Yuelan." ”
As soon as Liu He heard Jiang Haoran's words, he immediately became stunned, of course he knew about the 100,000 mountains, from Qinzhou County, Guangxi in the east, to the Sino-Vietnamese border in the west, and distributed in Qinzhou, Fangcheng, Shangsi and other places. Because the mountains are continuous, the peaks and peaks overlap, the points are not clear, and the numbers are endless, so it is called 100,000 mountains. The mountain range is northeast-southwest, more than 100 kilometers long, 30-40 kilometers wide, with a total area of 2,600 square kilometers.
But the problem is that this place is still more than 20 kilometers away from the current Dazhi Town of Tang Enbo's department, although the distance is not too far, but after they get out of the encirclement, they have to run more than 20 kilometers in the enemy's encirclement and interception, this difficulty coefficient is really a bit big, and even if they enter the jungle, the enemy's 1st Guards Division is from Burma, and jungle warfare is their forte, can Tang Enbo escape from their encirclement and interception?
Looking at Liu He's expression, Jiang Haoran felt like a mirror in his heart, but he didn't break it, and continued: "The time for the breakthrough is set at six o'clock in the evening, before that, I can provide them with a strong firepower air support, and try to open a way out for them." ”
Liu He was still hesitating, obviously not optimistic about Jiang Haoran's plan, and said after a few seconds: "Zhang Linghu, they have now arrived in Hanoi, why don't you order them to enter the 100,000 Mountains from the Yuelan border to meet them?" With the brothers of the special operations division here, we are not afraid of the 1st Guards Division, they will definitely be able to bring the troops out. ”
"No, this is absolutely not good, Zhang Linghu must go back to Baoshan, I can only feel at ease with them in the rear, and I warn you, this matter must not be notified to Zhang Linghu." Jiang Haoran said sharply.
Liu He shook his head helplessly and replied, "Okay, I'll send a message to Commander Tang." ”
……
Dazhi Town, the headquarters of the Far Fifth Army.
Commander Tang Enbo had changed into his combat uniform, sat at his desk with a straight waist and a resolute face, an AK47 was placed on the table on his right, and the staff officers in the room were busy destroying documents, destroying combat sand tables and maps.
At this time, Chief of Staff Wan Jianfan walked in with a telegram, and said with a gloomy face: "Commander, the message from the headquarters has arrived. ”
Tang Enbo ejected, picked up the AK47 on the table, raised it on his shoulder with one hand, and shouted domineeringly: "All of them, kill them with Lao Tzu." ”
"Slow commander, the general seat did not agree to our decisive battle, but ordered us to break through." Wan Jianfan exclaimed.
"Breakout? Where to protrude? Tang Enbo frowned unconsciously, they had been surrounded by the enemy's nearly 40,000 troops, if he could break through, where would he wait until now.
Wan Jianfan said: "The general seat means that we will break through to the southwest and enter the 100,000 mountains, and the breakthrough time is set at six o'clock in the afternoon, and he will provide us with a powerful air fire support at this time." ”
"Map!" Tang Enbo roared, and immediately a staff officer took out a map and spread it out on the table, and Tang Enbo immediately picked up a magnifying glass and looked at it seriously.
Wan Jianfan watched coldly, and said without yin or yang: "Commander, what is there to be busy with, we haven't thought about this plan, it won't work at all, the southwest direction is the only way for us to go back, and it is also the place where the enemy's troops are the thickest, we can't break out at all, besides, even if we enter the 100,000 mountains, what can we do, there is no food and grass and no rescuers, why should we fight with the little devils?" ”
