Chapter 624: Baishui Town, Zheng Xiaocheng's calculations
Shan Rib Zhenglong is definitely very proud!
In his opinion, the move of the Zhi Na Army this time simply created a great opportunity for him!
The other side did not dare to come to support in a big way, but only sent one division to reinforce, and another division wandered outside, although the combat effectiveness of these two divisions was not good, but they were still not taken into account by the mountain rib Masalong.
It's not that he is arrogant, in his opinion, it is really a bit wishful thinking for a mere division to resist the attack of their third division!
If it were placed in normal times, this idea of Masakashi Yamari might really come true, but this time it was different, this time it was ...... He has to face more than just the 51st Division!
The real enemy he has to face is the Independent Regiment!
It's just that...... It's a pity that Yamari Masataka has never really attached importance to the Independent Regiment!
"Order the soldiers, rest well tonight, get up early tomorrow and hurry, although we are not in a hurry, but this attack still has to arrive at the combat area as soon as possible, kill the independent regiment as soon as possible, wash away the shame as soon as possible, and we can really relax, don't you say!"
"Your Excellency the Division Commander said yes!"
"Please let go of Your Excellency, Division Commander, we promise to rush to Changsha as soon as possible, and then annihilate the Independent Regiment!"
"Where the Third Division passed, the Chinese Army was not an opponent at all!"
All the officers under his command said so.
……
With the passage of time, whether it was the Independent Regiment or the 51st Division or even the Third Division of the Japanese Army, they were all hurrying quickly, and both sides were arriving at the combat area as soon as possible, and in the evening, the Japanese army finally arrived in Yueyang County after marching.
At this time, the 51st Division finally arrived at the predetermined combat area.
Fulin Town
"Quick! Everyone immediately built a defensive position on the spot, and the soldiers under each regiment were all quick with their hands and feet, no one should be lazy and slippery, whoever dared to be lazy and slippery and wait for the battle, it is still you who will die! ”
The officer urged loudly, conveying Wang Yaowu's order.
At this moment, Wang Yaowu got together with the commanders of the four regiments under his command, and the chief of staff of the division headquarters was discussing the next operational idea in the temporary headquarters.
"Division, Chen Qingzhi sent us a combat order, and asked us to station the 51st Division here and wait for the order!"
A staff officer took the message and said loudly.
Hearing this, Wang Yaowu couldn't help frowning, took the telegram, and read it carefully, there were only a few dozen words on the telegram, but Wang Yaowu read it for ten minutes.
He was puzzled.
What does Chen Qingzhi's order mean?
"Master, what do you mean?" When a regiment commander heard this, he couldn't help frowning, with a look of doubt on his face, and asked: "The little devil is obviously passing through the area of Baishui Town, why does this Chen Qingzhi want us to be stationed in Fulin Town, the war zone on these two sides is at least thirty miles away!" ”
"Yes! Chen Qingzhi, what does this mean! Did he still think that the little devils would attack from our side? Another regiment commander also shouted.
"Don't make any noise, let the master imagine!"
Seeing that several regiment commanders were shouting, the chief of staff of the division headquarters hurriedly frowned and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, several regiment leaders were stunned, and hurriedly shut up, but at the same time turned their eyes to Wang Yaowu, waiting for his words.
Wang Yaowu frowned, walked around the division headquarters, paced with his hands behind his back, and fell into deep thought.
I have to say that Chen Qingzhi's telegram is really a bit weird.
It was so weird that Wang Yaowu was a little incomprehensible.
The little devils have now marched to Yueyang County, and they will definitely go directly to Changsha through Baishui Town, Chating Town, and Beishan Town, and now although Baishui Town has a provisional 54th Division stationed, Wang Yaowu naturally understands very well that relying on them to resist the third division of the little devils is simply wishful thinking.
He understands that Wang Yaowu doesn't believe that Chen Qingzhi will not understand!
But if he understood, why did he give this order? Or does Chen Qingzhi have any plans?
He wanted to send a telegram to ask what Chen Qingzhi was thinking, but in the end he still suppressed the idea!
In this operation, Chen Qingzhi is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, he is just a front-line officer, how to fight this battle, naturally to listen to Chen Qingzhi's orders.
Unless he encounters some outrageous order, or when it comes to the most critical moment, Wang Yaowu will never intervene!
What's more, he didn't believe that Chen Qingzhi would be dizzy!
After all, looking at all the previous commands and orders of Chen Qingzhi, all of them were directed at the key points of the Japanese army, and every time they were fast, accurate, and ruthless, although he didn't understand Chen Qingzhi's plan this time, it was very likely that this was another arrangement by Chen Qingzhi.
In that case, then I'm waiting here.
Looking at Chen Qingzhi with peace of mind, how he planned to deal with the menacing Japanese Third Division!
Thinking of this, Wang Yaowu came back to his senses and said, "No matter what Chen Qingzhi's plan is, now we will obey him and do our best!" Let your subordinates set up defensive positions to beware of the little devils who may come, and in addition, send spies to observe the movements of the Japanese army at all times, and report immediately if there is a situation! ”
"Yes!"
Hearing Wang Yaowu's words, although these regiment leaders were still a little unwilling in their hearts, they also obeyed orders and responded in a deep voice.

Provisional formation of the 54th Division's defensive position
Under the leadership of division commander Zheng Xiaocheng, the troops had arrived at Baishui Town in the afternoon, in order to prevent them from being defeated when they retreated, Zheng Xiaocheng divided his troops into two, one was stationed north of Baishui Town, and the other was stationed south of Baishui Town, and the defensive positions of the two armies were separated by five miles, forming two defensive fronts.
On the one hand, it was shown to Chen Qingzhi, making him think that he was really going to fight with the little devil, and on the other hand, he was preparing to retreat, after the troops on the front line retreated, the troops on the second line of defense could still resist one or two.
Zheng Xiaocheng is very satisfied with his own arrangement.
He thought that he had prepared perfectly, so the worries in his heart quietly relaxed.
"Let the brothers work harder, build a defensive position for me, and when the imp comes, give me a hard beating!" Zheng Xiaocheng stood on the high platform, watching his soldiers digging trenches, and couldn't help shouting proudly.
Hearing this, an officer next to him couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said hesitantly: "Master, do we really want to do it with the little devil?" ”
"Of course not!" Zheng Xiaocheng said.
"Then why do you say that, Master?" The officer asked.
"Are you stupid!" Hearing this, Zheng Xiaocheng looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said: "I said this to show Chen Qingzhi, even if we retreat later, if Chen Qingzhi is held accountable, we can also say that we did our best, do you understand!" ”
"Oh! I see! Hearing Zheng Xiaocheng say this, the officer suddenly realized, and then slapped a sycophant and said: "The division is wise!" ”
