Chapter 449: Defeat the Famous General

readx;?“ Be. www.biquge.info"Liu Jianguo saw that Zhang Xinghan was so confident, and he couldn't help but ignite his pride, and following the head seat to fight was so exciting, and the arrogance was dry.

Whether it was the 918 Incident that turned the tide with its own strength, or today's galloping in the Central Plains and promoting overseas, it is so hearty.

In view of the fact that Wang Yaowu has become a frightened bird, and the 17th Army is indeed the elite troops of Chairman Jiang's lineage, and there is Xu Tingyao, a famous general with both wisdom and bravery, it is indeed not to be underestimated.

Therefore, Zhang Xinghan only left Liu Jianguo with an air defense regiment plus an infantry regiment, and the rest of the 1st Division directly under the guard battalion, reconnaissance battalion and other troops were all transferred away, and went north to ambush Huang Jie's 2nd Division.

&n=pig=pig=island=novel===bsp;Although a regiment of the 1st Consolidated Division of the Northeast Frontier Army, a division of the first type, has about 3,000 men, plus an air defense regiment with a small 6,000 men.

But Liu Jianguo also had to take care of the nearly 20,000 prisoners of the central army, and he had to besiege the city, so that the troops were overstretched.

If Wang Yaowu dared to lead his troops to fight back at this time, Liu Jianguo's troops would be insufficient and he would not be able to take care of it, and nearly 20,000 prisoners would inevitably mutiny, and the situation would likely be reversed.

Of course, all this is only based on the premise that Wang Yaowu has such courage and the intelligence on the transfer of the main force of the Northeast Army.

As a precaution, Liu Jianguo used the powerful firepower of the air defense regiment (equipped with towed 88mm anti-aircraft guns and a large number of 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns) supplemented by a small number of infantry to besiege Puyang City.

The main force of the infantry regiment was all used to guard the small 20,000 prisoners.

……………………

Looking back, Xu Tingyao and Huang Jie led the 2nd Division from Anyang to the south overnight, and after a rapid march all the way, its vanguard was about a battalion, which took the lead in passing Tangyin and went straight to Puyang.

Zhang Xinghan, known as Guo Zhong, led the guard battalion of the headquarters and the guard battalion of the reorganized 1st Division, with a total of about 2,000 people, as the vanguard, marching northwest from Puyang.

and Huang Jie's vanguard encountered Wagang Town on the border from Puyang to Tangyin.

But vanguard. It must be elite, although the vanguard of Huang Jie's department has only one battalion, it is one of the most elite infantry battalions in the division.

Not only was it well-equipped and well-trained, but it was also equipped with cars and motorcycles for transportation, so that this battalion could serve as a vanguard, leaving the main force of the division far behind.

However, this elite battalion never had a chance to rush to Puyang to join Wang Yaowu.

They were met by Zhang Xinghan's ace guards, who were better equipped and more combat-ready.

Moreover, the strength of the troops is fully twice as large, as the guard battalion and reconnaissance battalion of the first division of the reorganization, although the combat strength is not as good as Guo Zhong's directly subordinate guard battalion, but it is also absolutely elite.

It's the same encounter. The battle was doomed from the beginning.

Even though the company commander of the central military battalion was very brave and good at fighting, and his headquarters was under siege, he still shouted Long live President Jiang and fought to the death, but he could not make up for the huge gap between the two sides in terms of strength and equipment and firepower.

The fierce battle lasted for about half an hour, and this elite battalion of 600 people was all eaten by Guo Zhong, the battalion commander was killed in battle, and several company commanders were also wounded and died.

Most of the remaining officers and soldiers had no choice but to surrender.

The battle has just ended. Zhang Xinghan rushed up with the main force, and Guo Zhong came over to report the results and losses of the battle.

Zhang Xinghan said with a slight emotion: "It seems that the central army of the Huangpu system should not be underestimated, we have an absolute advantage in strength and equipment. There were more than 200 casualties?! ”

Guo Zhong also nodded and said: "I have to admit that the battle of this group of Central Army just now is not comparable to the rabble of Han Fuqu's Shandong Army, they are actually not bad, especially the commander who was killed by us." It has a considerable military standard and is not afraid of death. ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded silently and thought about it carefully. It is also normal for such a situation to occur, and at this time, the Japanese did not launch a full-scale war of aggression against China as they did in history.

Therefore, the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, which greatly damaged the strength of the Central Army of the National Revolutionary Army with the Whampoa system as the backbone, would not have happened.

Take Xu Tingyao's 17th Army as an example, the 2nd, 4th and 25th Divisions of his division are the most elite units of the national army.

It is not difficult to see from Huang Jie, Du Yuming, Tang Enbo, and Guan Linzheng that they are still serving as division commanders and deputy division commanders, and the regimental and battalion-level cadres below them are definitely outstanding officers from the Huangpu department.

Among them, there are definitely many veterans who participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, and these outstanding middle and low-level officers can grow into excellent generals who can lead the troops in time.

Historically, if it had not been for the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, the vast number of outstanding officers in the Huangpu Department of the Central Army under Chairman Chiang would have suffered too serious losses.

The later War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression did not have to be fought so hard, and the combat effectiveness of the national army would not have declined so much.

Where the war began, the German armament division was basically able to compete with the most elite permanent divisions of Japan at that time, and at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, an army could not even compete with the second- and third-rate divisions and brigades of the Japanese army.

See specifically the Yuxianggui rout in the 33rd year of the Republic of China.

What is the reason for this? It was because although the troops of the national army were expanding rapidly at that time, the vast number of outstanding officers at the middle and grassroots levels, who were the backbone and soul of the army, were no longer there.

Without the leadership and coordination of these outstanding backbones with faith and military qualities, how could the troops hastily assembled by pulling up the strong men lacked even the most basic training, and how could they be the opponents of the Japanese like wolves and tigers on the battlefield?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan realized the importance of these outstanding grassroots officers in the national army, and it is no exaggeration to say that they will be the pillars and hope of the future army of the Chinese nation.

As a Chinese soldier, Zhang Xinghan must not let these future stars of hope fall under his hands.

At that moment, Zhang Xinghan instructed Guo Zhong and others: "In the future battles, try to take prisoners as much as possible, especially officers, and never hurt their lives." ”

Although Guo Zhong and others did not understand Zhang Xinghan's intention to do this, they still stepped forward to agree.

Although he instructed his subordinates, Zhang Xinghan knew that once a war broke out, the bullets had no eyes, and who could guarantee zero losses?

If he could, Zhang Xinghan didn't want to meet with the Central Army, in contrast. Zhang Xinghan hoped to take them to fight against foreign strong enemies for the rise and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

These best soldiers in China today should not wither in the smoke of fratricide, even if they sacrifice and shed blood, their blood should be left in foreign wars is the most worthwhile.

However, if we want to complete the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as soon as possible, we must integrate domestic forces as quickly as possible, and work together to achieve diplomacy, politics, and military cooperation.

Declaring war on Japan will first stifle the chances of the Japanese rising again. We should thoroughly solve the biggest obstacle to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and then compete with the Western powers, expand the living space of the Chinese nation, and benefit future generations.

Therefore, he must eat the 17th Army, a new force, and then eat the entire Jin Sui Army, and force Chairman Chiang to sit at the negotiating table with a great victory.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the bloody battle just now, Zhang Xinghan had already made a plan.

Immediately summoned Guo Zhong and the officers to give a secret order. The officers quickly took their orders and left.

………………

In the county town of Tangyin, where its vanguard battalion had been eaten by the Northeast Frontier Army for an hour, the main force of the 2nd Division, which lacked vehicles, rushed to Tangyin.

At this time, Tangyin City was less than seventy kilometers away from Puyang. As the commander of the 17th Army, Xu Tingyao thought about the overall situation, or because the other two main divisions of the 17th Army, the 4th Division and the 25th Division, had not yet arrived. He set up his military headquarters in Tangyin City.

Huang Jie, commander of the 2nd Division, personally led his troops to aid Puyang and joined Wang Yaowu.

Originally, according to Xu Tingyao's identity as the commander of an army. It is understandable that division commander Huang Jie personally led the team to the front line, and he sat 50 kilometers away to command the battle remotely.

However, at this time, several divisions of the 17th Army were not fully equipped with German-style weapons in 1937, and radio stations were only equipped at the division and brigade level, and the communication at the regiment and battalion level was still transmitted to the men's and horses by telephone lines.

This will inevitably cause Xu Tingyao, as the commander, to be unable to grasp the latest battle situation on the front line and the situation encountered by his subordinate troops in time, so as to make an appropriate response and command as soon as possible.

Huang Jie's vanguard camp was eaten, and Xu Tingyao and Huang Jie are still in the dark is the best proof.

Under such circumstances, Huang Jie (It is worth mentioning that Huang Jie is a graduate of the first phase of Whampoa, participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, and is Chairman Jiang's protégé, a confidant and a favorite general, and has been a first-class general in the army in history. Went out with the troops.

Huang Jie's department left Tangyin County about ten kilometers away, and suddenly the top soldiers in front reported that they had encountered several defeated soldiers of the vanguard battalion.

Huang Jie summoned him to ask, and several defeated soldiers told him truthfully: "Shizuo, we have encountered the Northeast Army, the battalion commander is leading the brothers to fight with the enemy, and now we are surrounded by the enemy in Wagang Town. ”

Huang Jie turned around and asked a colonel regiment commander who sent the vanguard battalion: "Is this the person of the vanguard battalion?" ”

The regiment commander looked at it carefully, nodded and pointed at one of the defeated soldiers and said, "That's right, I have seen this kid in the second battalion before, and he is a soldier of the second battalion." ”

After receiving confirmation from his subordinates, Huang Jie no longer doubted it, and immediately ordered the troops to speed up their advance and reinforce the vanguard battalion.

Two kilometers outside Wagang Town, on a high slope, Zhang Xinghan said a little uneasy: "Zhongzi, can the few people you selected do it?" ”

"Don't worry, you can make ghosts grind these days, these big-headed soldiers are trying to eat enough and spend some money, I give them so much money, and there are other captives to witness, they can't even think about us if they don't want to mention our lives.

And just in case, I also arranged for two good people to mix in among them, and there will be absolutely no accidents. Guo Zhong patted his chest and reassured.

"Well, that's good." Zhang Xinghan looked into the distance with some expectation and said: "Xu Tingyao's 17th Army is full of famous generals, most of them are Chairman Jiang's protégés, this time I will defeat them one by one and teach them what a real famous general is." ”
