Chapter 464: Disbanding the Military Department
How could Dai Cunxiang's caution hide from Sun Yumin, since he and Dong Wenbin came together, Sun Yumin knew that these two guys were here to "force the palace", so after saying the sentence "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountain", he did not show seriousness or anger, but looked at them with a relaxed face.
The troops have been resting for a while, the battle in Hengyang City is being fought inextricably, and the conspiracy of the devils who he judged to "encircle the point and send reinforcements" is also being confirmed one by one, even if they don't come today, Sun Yumin will send someone to find them, because he has decided to act, not only to avenge the dead brothers, but the time to fight back has come.
That's why he told that story before, he had a hunch that this time it wouldn't be perfect. Whether it was these staff officers present, or the troops who were resting, or the officers and men of the 20th Division and the 139th Division who fought bloodily in Hengyang City, in Sun Yumin's view, they should all get rid of their previous halo. God of War and Victory in Every Battle, these two seemingly dazzling false names have always been the things that the 12th Army is proud of, and it is precisely self-confidence and courage that these two seemingly untouchable things are the things that the officers and soldiers of the 12th Army should have the most, but they have become something that everyone lacks. He doesn't care whether everyone understands the most critical point in the story or not, and he doesn't explain this point thoroughly, he just hopes that everyone can realize it for themselves.
Sun Yumin was deeply worried that he could not control the Twelfth Army all the time, and if Taizu thought that the time was right and agreed to him to lead the entire Twelfth Army to change banners, then it was certain that the Twelfth Army, as the elite, would be broken up and supplemented to each unit separately to improve the combat effectiveness of these troops. Once the structure is broken up, these officers and men who have been cooperating with the war for many years will suddenly lose all their support, and they will have to face the responsibility of provoking the main beam and the backbone force; if they do not have sufficient self-confidence and courage, will they not harm themselves and others. Also, Sun Yumin always felt that there was a dark cloud hanging over his head during this time, and the brothers around him were martyred one after another, so he had to wonder if his decision to challenge the established history was a mistake, and whether he would follow in the footsteps of Wu Linsheng? If they are really unlucky, how should the soldiers of the Twelfth Army face it? After all, there are too many halos lingering in the ace army, the army of the god of war, etc., once you lose these, and you don't have enough confidence and courage to face unknown challenges, wouldn't it be a waste of your hard work in the past few years?
"Commander, do you agree to attack?" Dai Cunxiang asked in surprise.
Sun Yumin did not respond to him, not only did he not respond verbally, but his expression and movements were also the same. I don't know why, Sun Yumin always found something abnormal. Dai Cunxiang would not be like this, but today's performance is very much like a stupid bear, and he is not at all what he should have as the number one general of the Twelfth Army. and Dong Wenbin too, usually he talks a lot, but today he didn't say a word.
The difference between the two of them and their usual times is so big, what is the reason, not only Sun Yumin can't figure it out, I'm afraid even they themselves can't figure it out.
"Throne!"
Just when the whole room fell silent, Tang Chunhong's voice sounded at the right time: "Military seat, just now Chief Xue sent an urgent call, please take a look!" ”
"Bring it!" Sun Yumin's purpose when he opened the radio station was to wait for Xue Yue's telegram, because from the time calculation, it was time to attack the devil. Although he knew that all the ministries might not really come to help, and he also knew that most of them would only be pretentious, but for Sun Yumin, he just took advantage of this opportunity to give Fang Xianjue, Zhang Xiaohu, and Wang Heng their strongest support.
As Sun Yumin expected, Xue Yue's telegram was to inform him of the planned offensive direction of each division, and to order his 12th Army to attack the Japanese 68th Division from the east, relieve the crisis of the 20th Division, and strive to eliminate the Japanese 68th Division in one pot.
"Stupid!" Sun Yumin scolded him in front of everyone, he didn't target Xue Yue, but he was really angry that he didn't have a long memory.
After winning the Third Battle of Changsha, he immediately forgot all about the factors of the failure of the Second Battle of Changsha.
In the past two years, even he has heard countless times that the Japanese army is trying to steal this set of passwords that were changed last time, so he doesn't believe that Xue Yue doesn't know about it, and the war has reached Hengyang, although there is no direct evidence that the Japanese army knows this set of passwords, but Sun Yumin has long felt that the Japanese army has already got what they want from a certain channel. It is precisely because of this that Sun Yumin will keep his radio station silent, and prevent the devils from using radio signals and telegrams to determine the location of the 12th Army and the tasks it accepts.
But now, such an important military information was still released by Xue Yue in a telegram, and Sun Yumin had every reason to believe that when he got this military intelligence report and order, the Japanese commander Yokoyama Yong also got it.
"Throne ......"
It is a bit unseemly to insult the chief on such an occasion, and Deng Dongping wanted to remind Sun Yumin.
"Cunxiang, Wenbin!" Without waiting for Deng Dongping's words to speak, Sun Yumin suddenly spoke.
"In?" The two replied in unison.
"Don't you know that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefer the tiger mountains? Now's your chance! Sun Yumin cleaned up the relaxed state of storytelling before, and turned into an unusually serious appearance now.
"Command, please!" The two of them replied in unison.
"Didn't Chief Xue say it in his order? Let's turn to the east and launch an attack on the enemy's 68th Division from the periphery? ”
Sun Yumin paused when he said this, and turned the topic to the many staff officers in the room: "Today's troops are certain, but before sending troops, I will first send all of you to combat units!" ”
As soon as Sun Yumin's words came out, everyone was shocked, but he did not stop explaining the reason for doing so because of everyone's surprise, but continued to explain to everyone: "Please remember the story I told earlier, and please relay this story to the grassroots soldiers when you have the opportunity, tell them why I tell this story, and tell them that you must learn to figure out the truth from it." ”
"Throne, ...... are you?" Dai Cunxiang was the first person to feel the different meaning of Sun Yumin's words, but he only felt it slightly, and he didn't realize the deep meaning of Sun Yumin's actions.
"Cunxiang, the task of your unit is to launch an attack from the west, and attack from the direction of Santang, Ertang, and Toutang towards the west station. If nothing else, your old adversary, Seiichi Aoki, and his 40th Division will be waiting for you there! ”
"Didn't Chief Xue tell us to go around to the east? Besides, the order in the telegram, was it the 62nd Army of Huang Tao's Department that was advancing from the direction of Ertang? Moreover, the telegram also mentioned that Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li Yutang would personally sit in command of the formation. Dai Cunxiang didn't understand why Sun Yumin would disobey the order, in his opinion, with his own strength, instead of grabbing other people's attack lines, it was better to follow the order and assist Huzi's 20th Division, the two most elite divisions of the 12th Army, should attack together inside and outside, and he didn't believe that this 68th Division could withstand it.
"Do you think it's so easy for the Eastern Front to get around under the nose of the enemy?" Of course, Sun Yumin will not tell Dai Cunxiang, he knows very well that it is not only the two divisions of the Japanese army besieging Hengyang, but also the third and thirteenth divisions in the east, in addition to blocking the base of the national army's royal tomb, the most important task is to ensure that the 68th and 116th divisions attacking the city are on my flank, if they really follow Xue Yue's order and go around to the east to attack the 68th division, I am afraid that they will fall into the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army before they have a firm foothold, although with the strength of their own troops, it will not be too difficult to break through the encirclement, But Sun Yumin still has the biggest worry in his heart, that is, the 27th Division transferred from the Kwantung Army, the war in Hunan has been fought for so long, but he has never heard from them, which has to make Sun Yumin cautious and cautious.
"As you just said, you must have self-confidence and courage at all times! Not to mention going around to the back to attack the ass of the devil's 68th Division, even if I let the new 34th Division fight them head-on, I won't wrinkle my eyebrows. Dai Cunxiang completely succumbed to Sun Yumin's meaning.
Maybe this battle should not be fought by the new 34th Division, Sun Yumin immediately had this idea, but now in addition to the new 34th Division, the only thing he can use is Shi Zhonghua's 81st Division, and there is still a big gap in combat effectiveness between the two.
"I don't need you to prove how strong the new 34th Division is now, you just need to follow my orders and attack Hengyang in the direction of Santang. Remember that after breaking through the Japanese army, you don't have to go into the city, turn to the east, and sweep all the way through. Speaking of this, Sun Yumin was still worried that Dai Cunxiang, who was completely out of the situation today, would not listen, and then said: "It is not difficult to defeat the 68th Division of the devil, of course the new 34th Division can do it, but now what I want is not to defeat only one 68th Division, but to defeat the 40th Division that blocked the reinforcements of Hengyang, the 116th Division of the Japanese Army that attacked Wang Heng's 139th Division, and the 68th Division that was fighting with Zhang Xiaohu's 20th Division!" ”
"Yes! Military seat, Cunxiang must live up to his mission and play the majesty and brilliance of the 12th Army. "Dai Cunxiang came today to suggest sending troops, and he lost three good brothers in a row, so that he could hardly calm down, which is why he was completely out of state. After hearing Sun Yumin's words, he suddenly realized why he had to be so strong, because of Xue Yue's unreliable order, and put the whole division to death. The Boss had never interpreted his orders in such detail, and by doing so today, he must have discovered that he had been blinded by hatred.
Dai Cunxiang is an excellent soldier and an excellent commander, and once he calms down and thinks, he will immediately understand Sun Yumin's good intentions. According to Sun Yumin's subordinates, although the first battle would make the friendly army unhappy, the next attack was much easier than going around to the east. If nothing else, the boss's idea of defeating the three divisions of the Japanese army in one fell swoop will be realized, and in comparison, this plan is not half as strong as Ding Er's order compared to Xue Yue's order.
"I don't want any brilliance, I don't want any prestige, I just want the result, I want you and Wen Bin to eat up the results of the three devil divisions that attacked Hengyang City!" Sun Yumin's words once again shocked the entire room, not only Dai Cunxiang and Dong Wenbin, who had received the order for the attack mission, but also all the staff officers who were about to be transferred to the combat unit.
Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, there has never been a general who will boast of eating the three divisions of the Japanese army, even if the 12th Army has many examples of great victories, but Sun Yumin's sentence just now, in their opinion, still has an unrealistic side. With the new 34th Division and a devil division to harden up, and then win a complete victory, no one here will doubt it, but if it is said that the new 34th Division will fight three devil divisions, and finally eat them up, it is simply a fantasy talk, although there is still the assistance of Dong Wenbin's brigade, but if you want to achieve this result, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky.
"Military seat, let Cunxiang start fighting from the west, I can understand, because we are in this direction, but if you transfer all of them to the combat unit, how will the work of the military department be carried out." Deng Dongping was the chief of staff and a loyal supporter of Sun Yumin, and he never had doubts about his tactical arrangements, but he could not understand why Sun Yumin wanted to let all these staff officers of the military department go to the troops below.
"It's easy!" Sun Yumin raised his voice, he meant to let everyone hear, and it was also a warning to them before leaving: "In this battle, from the time you stepped out of this room, there will be no place for the military headquarters of the Twelfth Army!" ”
Uproar, uproar!
Even if Sun Yumin continued to speak, even if Sun Yumin didn't like his subordinates whispering when he spoke, this sentence still made him restless when he listened to him.
Disband the military department! The war is coming, and the army commander actually disbanded the military department! From ancient times to the present day, this is an unheard of strange story.
Sun Yumin didn't mind the restlessness in the room, and continued to speak: "Although the military department has been temporarily disbanded, this does not mean that the combat units below have lost their command, because with you, each of you will represent the military headquarters of the Twelfth Army." ”
Although he understood Sun Yumin's intention to disband the military department, and although he understood the intention of lowering them, the shock caused by Sun Yumin's decision continued to exist among everyone.
"I hope that each of you will be in the combat unit to forget the glory of the Twelfth Army, and then rewrite a new legend; I also hope that when people talk about this war in a few years' time, they will remember you, the warriors who represented the 12th Army, and the history you made. ”
"What about you and Chief of Staff Deng?" Everyone was still in shock, and Dai Cunxiang first raised his own questions.
"We will also be a soldier of your new 34th Division!" Sun Yumin's answer was very indifferent, as if he had returned to Nanjing City a few years ago, as if he had returned to the moment when he was in the second battalion and the second regiment, he saw Dai Cunxiang's mouth open wide, with an unbelievable expression, and said with a smile: "Not only us, but also Tie Qian and Yuying, as well as Yuan Ping's guard regiment, are now all soldiers of your new 34th Division!" ”
