Chapter 236: Reinforcements Ordered
readx; "Reinforcements, reinforcements, Sun Zhen needs reinforcements there!"
"Wang Mingzhang fought very hard there!"
The chaotic sound made Li Zongren, who was originally as stable as Mount Tai, a little unable to sit still!
Wang Mingzhang was stubbornly guarding Teng County, and Sun Zhen's headquarters had already sung about the empty city plan, and there were no reinforcements to adjust. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And Townenburg's troops have not seen where until now.
What to do?
"I see, pull up the high-flying 151st regiment!" Bai Chongxi said suddenly.
Li Zongren nodded, he thought the same in his heart. Gao Fei has been left in Xuzhou and cannot be reused, but his 151st Regiment has more than 2,100 troops, excellent weapons and sufficient ammunition, and the officers and soldiers have already held their breath and are waiting to go to the battlefield.
When Chiang Kai-shek left Xuzhou, he talked to Li Zongren and specifically pointed out that Gao Fei "should be used, not only to use, but also to use it in the most difficult places!" ”
Now, if you pull Gao Fei up, you can give an explanation to the chairman.
And whether or not they can send reinforcements to Teng County in time is a matter of Gao Fei
"Yes, guaranteed to complete the task, but there is a request!" Gao Fei, who received the order, did not have the slightest fear in front of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi: "Please allow the commander-in-chief to allow me to dispatch a few trucks in Xuzhou to transport the vanguard to Tengxian County first!" ”
"Yes!" Originally thought that there was something big, but he didn't expect that it was just a few trucks, and Li Zongren nodded quickly.
Goofy saluted and strode out of the headquarters
"All assemble and prepare to go to Xuzhou!" Gao Fei's face was resolute, and he looked at the several officers who rushed to hear the news around him: "At the same time, mobilize all the vehicles that can be mobilized in Xuzhou City to rush to transport the troops!" ”
"All the vehicles that can be mobilized?" Ma Debi frowned.
"That's right, this is allowed by Commander Li Zongren himself!" Gao Fei said lightly.
He modified Li Zongren's order without authorization.
Li Zongren promised to allow Gao Fei to transfer a few trucks, but Gao Fei turned it into "mobilizing all the vehicles that can be mobilized in Xuzhou City", and the meaning has completely changed
In order to rescue Xuzhou, Gao Fei couldn't care about anything
Since there is Gao Fei's order, and Gao Fei is on top of something else, these people in the 151st regiment can't care about anything!
These people are like robbers, they will requisition cars when they see them, trucks, cars, and jeeps, regardless of whether they are in the army or in the people, as long as they see a four-wheeled car, even the car and the driver are requisitioned together.
These soldiers were all fierce and vicious, and they all shouted that this was on the orders of Commander Li Zongren, and if the other party was slightly disobedient, they would be reprimanded at the least, and the butt of the rifle would fall down at the worst, who would dare to oppose it again?
"I'm going with the 1st battalion!" Gao Fei didn't have the heart to care about these at all, everything was to rescue Teng County, and if he wanted to be infamous, he left it to Li Zongren to bear it: "The rest continue to requisition vehicles, and before 18 o'clock this afternoon at the latest, the whole battalion will open and join me!" Those who have a car get on the bus, and those who don't have a car, even if they break their legs, they must arrive at the battlefield within the specified time! ”
As he spoke, he jumped into a car that had been waiting there for a long time: "1st Battalion, go!" ”
The motor roared, and a convoy of trucks, cars, jeeps, and several three-wheeled motorcycles left Xuzhou in a mighty way to reinforce Teng County.
"Lawlessness, lawlessness!" Bai Chongxi entered the headquarters angrily: "Gao Fei is simply lawless, under the banner of the headquarters, requisitioning vehicles everywhere, and a few people under him have been injured!" Now the people outside have vented their grievances on us! Fuck, they almost robbed my car! If it weren't for my driver shouting that this was Commander Bai's car, I'm afraid that my car would already be on its way to Tengxian County now! ”
Li Zongren obviously already knew about these situations, and smiled slightly: "My staff officer went to convey the order, but when he went, he went by car, but when he came back, he walked back on two legs. The car was also robbed by Goofy's men! My staff officer made a few complaints, and I was almost beaten by the other party."
Bai Chongxi's anger did not subside: "Delin, this matter must not be ignored, it is not only his 151st regiment that is fighting!" ”
Li Zongren invited Bai Chongxi to sit down: "Jiansheng, after I received the report, why didn't I get angry? But when I think about it, my heart is at peace. Gao Fei is in a hurry, anxious to reinforce Teng County, don't forget, Wang Mingzhang in Teng County is also from Sichuan. And, no matter what, Gao Fei used these cars to fight the Japanese after all. As long as I can save Teng County, I just don't see these things."
"Delin, you are good-tempered after all" Bai Chongxi shook his head.
Li Zongren smiled faintly: "It's not that I have a good temper, but to fight the Battle of Xuzhou, I have to use the Sichuan Army, he is a banner in the Sichuan Army, and he is a general appointed by the old man, I let him, tolerate him, and endure him, it is nothing more than to use his life up and down to fight the Battle of Xuzhou!" ”
Bai Chongxi nodded silently, then sighed with a wry smile
"The dog said, open, open quickly, Moha poked and poked, anxious, Lao Tzu washed your brain!"
Lao Hei, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, was fierce and vicious, scolding repeatedly.
The fat man driving the car was full of horror, sweat continued to fall down his forehead, and his hands trembled and held the steering wheel, almost unable to grasp it.
Isn't this unlucky? I drove the car, took my wife and children, and thought of escaping from Xuzhou, but who thought that before I left the city, I was stopped by a group of soldiers, and I couldn't say anything, I drove my wife and children out of the car, pointed a gun at my head, and said that I and the car were requisitioned by the Fifth War Zone
Who are you messing with?
Gao Fei sat in the back, listening to Lao Hei's scolding, looking at the fat driver's scared look, and said with a smile: "Your surname? ”
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and quickly said; "Back to the sir, don't give your surname Fan, your surname Fan"
"What does Boss Fan do?"
"Silk, Silk"
"That's the business of getting rich." Gao Fei casually chatted with Fan Fatzi, and saw that Fan Fatzi's mood gradually settled down: "This is a Ford car, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, the chief is an expert." Speaking of his car, Fan Fatzi showed a smug look on his face: "This car was not mine originally, but later the original owner of the car went bankrupt and resold the car to me." Sir, don't look at this car a little old, but it runs like new. ”
"American goods are good, a Ford, a Dodge." Gao Fei smiled: "Boss Fan, don't worry, as long as you send us to our destination, I will let you go back, not only that, when the battle is over, I will also ask Shangfeng to award you a medal of resistance against Japan." Do you think, when the time comes, you hang the medal of the Anti-Japanese War in your silk shop, everyone knows that you are a hero of the Anti-Japanese War, and the business of your silk shop must not be prosperous? ”
The more Fan Fatzi listened, the more he made sense, his fear was swept away, and when he thought of the little devil being beaten away, his silk shop was prosperous, and his excited nose turned a little red:
"There really is a day, it is the blessing of the chief. If you want to talk about this war of resistance, the chairman of the committee has already said that it is nothing more than men, women, and children, and everyone is responsible. The brother is also a Chinese, and the commander wants to use the brother's car, although the order is, brother, I have no disagreement. ”
The fear in his heart was removed, Fan Fatzi was worried about the medal, the accelerator was slammed under his feet, and the car rumbled away.
The old black on the side laughed in his heart when he heard it, this show can really play people, he has a fart ability to award medals to a little people
When Wang Mingzhang's subordinate Zhang Xuanwu was ordered to rush back to Teng County, it was nearly dusk, and the Tong Cheng Brigade from the east also came back with a battalion at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and there was only this one battalion, the battalion commander Yan Yi, and now this battalion had been arranged in Dongguan outside the east gate. It turned out that the Tong Cheng brigade had just come out of the mountains, and at a place thirty miles away from the city, it encountered the devil's roundabout troops, and the marching team in the form of a long snake formation was stopped by the tank army of the Ziyue army and rushed into two, and the two sides fought fiercely for three hours, and the Yan Yi battalion, which was at the head of the team, rushed through the fire net and arrived at the county seat at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The rest of the troops were blocked and driven back to the mountains, and later made a detour to Guanqiao, and from Guanqiao to the north, in an attempt to reach Tengxian, but were eventually blocked by the enemy at the Nansha River. Yan Yi's battalion originally had a heavy machine gun company, but this company was temporarily assigned to the regimental headquarters, and it was blocked behind when it encountered the Yue army, so Yan Yi's battalion was also three rifle companies!
At this time, an infantry company of the 124th Division in Chitou returned to the city to receive ammunition, and it also became a new force, and was ordered to join the garrison of the city, and was not allowed to go back.
In this way, the troops defending the city were increased by three battalions and a company.
Zhang Xuanwu led the team to run forward in a loose formation, and when he was about to reach the north gate of the county seat, he saw Wang Mingzhang's tall body standing at the gate of the city from a distance. As soon as Wang Mingzhang saw Zhang Xuanwu, he immediately grabbed him, hurriedly explained the current situation, and finally said very seriously: "Liu Zhirong's camp will arrive soon. After Liu Ying arrived, there were 2,500 officers and soldiers in the city, plus the county police, a total of 3,000 guns. The commander-in-chief appoints you as the commander of Tengxian County's defense, and all the troops in the city are under your command! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xuanwu beat a drum in his heart: It is said that there are 3,000 guns, excluding the personnel of various headquarters, the actual combat troops are less than 2,000, but outside the city are tens of thousands of enemies with aircraft, artillery and tanks! At this moment, Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin came and said to Wang Mingzhang: "County Magistrate Zhou is here. ”
While speaking, the county magistrate Zhou Tongji walked up. At this time, Zhou Tong was completely dressed as a soldier, wearing a military uniform, a box gun in his waist, a bullet belt on his body, leggings on his feet, a pair of rubber shoes, and two armed policemen as guards behind him.
Wang Mingzhang greatly admired Zhou Tong, and as soon as the Sichuan army arrived in Tengxian, he heard people from all walks of life praise his determination and courage to resist.
It turned out that before the Sichuan army arrived in Teng County, the county had no army for several days, and it was only supported by the county police led by County Magistrate Zhou. After the army occupied Zou County, the front reached the area of the Baisha River, and the nearest place was only more than 10 kilometers away from the county seat. At this time, the county magistrate Zhou resolutely said that he was willing to "die before the people", and he tried his best to remain calm and refuse to defend behind closed doors.
At that time, if it were not for the full insistence of the county magistrate of Zhou Tong, I am afraid that the army would have entered Teng County before the Sichuan army. After Fan Changjiang came to Teng County, he immediately went to visit him, and the county magistrate of Zhoutong, who was dressed plainly and had a resolute face, said calmly: "Without it!" China lost hundreds of miles first, and I have never heard of a county magistrate martyrdom, and I have the heart to break such a shameful record. Fan Changjiang admiringly called him "Teng Wengong".
Since the army's large-scale attack, Wang Mingzhang has repeatedly persuaded Zhou Tong to lead the relevant personnel of the political axe to retreat, but he has scattered all the policemen who can fight to supplement the combat companies, and personally participated in supervising the battle.
Wang Mingzhang introduced the post of city defense commander to the county magistrate, and everyone made an appointment to inspect the position together and walked around the whole city. When I came to the position of Yan Yi's camp, I saw that it was Wang Jiangping, the secretary who was dancing and writing at the division headquarters, standing guard with a gun. When he saluted with a gun, Wang Mingzhang smiled bitterly at him, and Zhang Xuanwu asked kindly beside him: "Secretary Wang, I see that you are still very expert, do you know how to shoot?" ”
Zhao Weibin replied on his behalf: "Maybe he is better than you, he has led soldiers." ”
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, Liu Zhirong's battalion arrived, followed by a train of ammunition and charcoal in the snow.
On March 16, Tengxian County.
Despite a series of emergency measures, Wang Mingzhang was still uncertain about the defense of the city, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Especially when the reinforcements will be able to enter the battle, there are too many variables, can a central ace army like Tang Enbo go all out to rescue a miscellaneous team like the Sichuan army?
It was late at night after inspecting the position last night, and he asked Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin to analyze the battle situation and stayed up all night. Early this morning, when the guns of the enemy's attack rang out, he informed the military and political leaders to come to the headquarters of the 124th Division in the city to convene an emergency meeting to pool their wisdom and make a final decision on where to go.
Attending the meeting were: Wang Mingzhang, former commander-in-chief of the enemy, acting commander of the 41st Army, lieutenant general of the 122nd Division; Zhao Weibin, Chief of Staff of the 122nd Division; Shui Tiqing, acting commander of the 124th Division; Zou Mutao, Chief of Staff of the Colonel of the 124th Division; Chen Li, Lieutenant General of the 127th Division, Major General of the 377th Brigade of Wang Zhiyuan; Zhang Xuanwu, colonel of the 727th Regiment, commander of Tengxian County National Defense.
In addition, Zhou Tong, the magistrate of Teng County, also came to attend this emergency meeting, but he did not speak on military issues, but only cooperated with military measures!
The meeting began in a tense mood, and everyone in the audience was worried. Wang Mingzhang first asked Zhang Xuanwu to briefly introduce the combat readiness, and then asked: "Commander Zhang, are you sure about defending the city?" ”
Zhang Xuanwu didn't answer immediately, but asked, "How long do you want to keep it?" ”
Wang Mingzhang thought for a while: "Two or three days." ”
"You and I know the situation of the enemy and me, how long do you think we can hold it?"
"Are you sure you will keep a day?"
Zhang Xuanwu thought in his heart: "Of the ten infantry companies that served as the city defense, six of them were not formed units to which I belonged, and I can't estimate the combat effectiveness of the Yan and Liu battalions, so I can't guarantee that they can hold it for more than a day." If I want to defend, I can only do my best, desperately, and only death! ”
