Chapter 136 Running to Wanjialing (4)
In mid-September, in order to relieve the plight of the 101st and 106th Divisions, the 27th Division of the Japanese Army attacked Ruichang and Wuning, capturing Chalingyuan, Baishiya and other places. At this time, Xue Yue quickly mobilized the main force from the front of the Nanxun line, attacked the enemy with superior forces, and completely annihilated the Suzuki Wing at Qilin Peak. At the same time, the 160th Division also annihilated seven or eight hundred enemies at Triangle Point, Jinlun Peak, and Nankang Point.
Looking at Xue Yue's strategy and tactics, he was not passively opening the frame to defend at all, but taking the initiative to attack. This is also a side that Han Xing admires.
The initiative in war has always been in the hands of the attacking side, and whoever wants to count on passive defense to win a war is a big mistake.
The county seat of De'an is about to arrive, of course, helicopters are not allowed to enter the county, and those narrow streets and small rooftops cannot land. Since the staff officers of the two sides had already contacted each other in advance, a circle was encircled with a green flag on a vacant lot outside the county seat, representing the landing position of the helicopter, so Zhang Fei slowly fell down towards this green space.
The helicopter's propellers were slowly spinning, but despite this, the huge wind shook the nearby trees violently, and the nearby grass was blown into the sky. The crops in the vicinity were a bit of a sin, and they were directly extinct, and the rice stalks and corn stalks flew directly into the sky.
After Xue Yue received the order of Chiang Kai-shek, the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Wuhan, and the telegram from Dai Li, the Military Command Bureau, he did not dare to slack off and personally went to meet him outside the city of De'an County. Another point worth welcoming him personally is that at this critical time in the battle of Wanjialing, one more soldier also means more capital for victory.
What kind of combat effectiveness the Southern Expeditionary Army is, he has heard about it a long time ago.
As soon as he saw this huge, never-before-seen flying machine, Xue Yue was immediately shocked.
Damn, what kind of killing weapon is this, if you put a cannon and a machine gun on this big killer, it will really be enough for a little devil to drink a pot!
The helicopter slowly landed, the propeller also stopped rotating, and the huge wind slowly subsided, however, Xue Yue's heart was difficult to calm down. He took a few steps up and saw that first several heavily armed soldiers jumped down, lined up on the left and right with assault rifles, and then Han Xing slowly got off the helicopter.
Han Xing originally wanted to shake hands with Xue Yue, but he didn't expect that Xue Yue didn't bird himself at all, and his eyes were still looking behind him.
Since the Southern Expeditionary Army wore uniform gray military uniforms and did not have official ranks, it was impossible to tell which was a soldier and which was an official. When Xue Yue saw that Han Xing was so young, he thought that Han Xing was a secretary or something, and his eyes were still observing the people behind Han Xing. Until he saw a soldier with an assault rifle coming down from behind, but Han Xing was carrying a pistol for self-defense, but he still couldn't confirm Han Xing's identity, Xue Yue had to ask Han Xing: "Which one is General Han." ”
Han Xing was a little surprised in his heart, when did he become a general, so he had to stretch out his hand and say, "Down here is Han Xing, the chief of staff of the Southern Expeditionary Army." ”
Xue Yue was a little surprised, but he was quickly covered up by his composure, and hurriedly said enthusiastically: "In Xia Xue Yue, I didn't expect Chief of Staff Han to be so young, admire, admire, it's really a promising future." ”
Han Xing was greeting Xue Yue while carefully looking at Xue Yue's appearance. At this time, Xue Yue was forty-two or thirteen years old, and he could be said to be in the prime of life, with long eyes, high cheekbones, square nose, and thin lips, and it was said that there was nothing special about it, but a slight smile, a calm feeling, and the depth in his eyes were brought on his face, which was a must-have for high-ranking officials here.
Just after the greetings, Xue Yue's eyes turned to the plane again and asked Han Xing, "What kind of plane is this?" ”
Han Xing had no choice but to say, "This is called a helicopter." ”
"Can you transport troops, can you pull multiple at a time."
Han Xing responded: "It can carry 27 heavily armed soldiers at a time, and the load capacity can reach 4 tons. ”
"How many such helicopters do you have in the Southern Expeditionary Air Force?"
"I'll tell you the truth, Commander Xue, we only have 12 such helicopters."
Xue Yue suddenly shouted arrogantly: "Okay, it's a big deal!" This is called a pot of little devils. ”
For Xue Yue's arrogance, Han Xing couldn't say anything, anyone who was arrogant must have something arrogant. Now, he has more than 100,000 strong troops of the national army in his hands, and he is encircling and suppressing more than 10,000 Japanese troops, which is his arrogant capital.
Han Xing's heart was shocked, and he suddenly thought again: Is this Xue Yue the idea of beating my helicopter?
Sure enough, Xue Yue clenched Han Xing's hand like an elder and said, "Chief of Staff Han, you are a person who is familiar with Tao Strategy, and you also know how difficult it is to transport troops in this place of hills and lakes. These helicopters of yours will transport troops and supplies to our Chinese army, right? ”
Han Xing was willing in his heart, and he had to pretend to be extremely unwilling on the surface, and said: "Commander-in-Chief Xue, according to what you say, I have to agree and agree, and I have to agree if I don't agree!?" ”
"In order to defeat the Japanese army, for our common victory, it can only be like this," Xue Yue said with a smile, he came with a hard one, and then a soft one, which can be regarded as compensation for Han Xing, "What conditions do you have, just mention it?" ”
There was a brief silence for Han Xing, who was thinking quickly. It seems that the helicopter was requisitioned by Xue Yue, but it must not be charged by him. If he is accused, then he will have no capital. The Southern Expeditionary Army also needed weapons, ammunition, and all kinds of supplies, which happened to be mentioned to Xue Yue here. In addition, some factories in Liaocheng are located in Jiangxi and Hunan, and Xue Yue is also required to provide protection and support.
Thinking of this, Han Xing also smiled and said, "Since Commander-in-Chief Fan Xue gave an order, how dare the small Southern Expeditionary Army disobey!" ”
Xue Yue smiled, it seems that these helicopters are owned by themselves, this is the greatest high-tech weapon in the Ninth War Zone, and it is also the most convenient guarantee for victory. He was waiting for Han Xing to make a condition.
Han Xing said unhurriedly: "The helicopter formation, I am not alone in the decision, I also want to ask a foreign company to cooperate with us." If the helicopter is called, then the helicopter itself, the crew cannot move at will, and I don't have this right. ”
Xue Yue said in his heart, this helicopter formation belongs to your Southern Expeditionary Army, you are in charge, I think I don't know! When you say this, you are paving the way for the conditions to be bigger. The helicopter itself and the crew, you think I want to command, but we don't understand it, and it will only cause me trouble.
Xue Yue hurriedly said: "Of course, the helicopter and the crew, when this battle is over, it will still be yours." As for what you ask for, just hurry up and ask for instructions, the fighter plane is fleeting, and time waits for no one! ”
Han Xing nodded, and said, "We have a long expedition, and the weapons, ammunition, and materials of the air force and army cannot be helped, so please ask Commander-in-Chief Xue to think of a way." In addition, the troops of our Southern Expeditionary Army are here, where to live, and ask Commander-in-Chief Xue to assign a place. ”
Gong Yue grinned and said with a smile: "This is easy to do, coming from so far away, it can't make you hungry, and it can't make you fight devils without bullets!" You can't say that the plane has no fuel and no bombs! Isn't it. If you are stationed, you can stay near De'an, just say hello to me. ”
Han Xing said: "In some places in Jiangxi and Hunan, as well as some factories in the sixth district of Liaocheng, we also asked Commander-in-Chief Xue to do his best to provide some protection for the landlord. ”
Xue Yue smiled again and said, "I know that most of these factories you have opened are some enterprises related to the military industry, which are used to fight devils. In particular, I have seen all the cars you built, and they are very useful for transporting troops and supplies, and besides, we have some in our team. If anyone is looking for trouble with these enterprises, it will be to sabotage the great cause of resistance against Japan, how can we ignore it, you can rest assured! ”
Seeing that the conditions he put forward were accepted by Xue Yue, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he happily held Xue Yue's hand and said, "Thank you for the support of Commander-in-Chief Xue, our Southern Expeditionary Army will bring the troops here." In the meantime, I hurriedly asked the foreign company, and if the foreign company agreed, then these helicopters would help Commander-in-Chief Xue transport troops and supplies. ”
Xue Yue hurriedly added: "There is no difference between the central army and the local army, we all have the same goal, that is, to annihilate the 106th Division." We must work hard towards this goal! ”
Hearing him say this, it was as if there was some gap between the Southern Expeditionary Army and Xue Yue's troops. This old fox always has to take advantage of everything. Han Xing scolded in his heart.
At this time, a staff officer came over and said to Xue Yue: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief of Wuhan Jiang has called again, please go and answer it." ”
Xue Yue saw that for the Southern Expeditionary Army, what should have been asked was already wanted, and said to Han Xing: "Military affairs are busy, and I still have a lot of things waiting for me. If there is anything, you can contact Staff Officer Wu! Xue Yue casually left a staff officer, and he was about to hurry to answer the phone.
Han Xing saw that his goal had basically been achieved, so he had no choice but to shake Xue Yue's hand again and say, "Commander-in-Chief Xue has a lot of opportunities, and he has already delayed a lot of time, so you can be busy with you!" If there is anything, I will contact Staff Officer Wu directly. ”
Xue Yue arrived at a temporary military phone and directly answered the special line: "Report to Commander-in-Chief Jiang, in Xia Xue Yue, do you have any instructions?" ”
Chiang Kai-shek's calm voice came from the phone: "Boling, the casualties of the 74th Army are too heavy at present, and it needs to be transferred to Changsha for repairs, you can arrange it!" ”
When Xue Yue heard this, he was taken aback, the 74th Army was the main force in the Wanjialing Campaign, and transferring the 74th Army away was not a draw from the bottom of the kettle. What do you need to rest, this 74th Army is a piece of meat in your heart, I'm afraid that the battle of Wanjialing will plant the 74th Army into it!
But if you resist Chiang Kai-shek's order, you have to risk killing your head, and even if you don't kill your head this time, you will have small shoes to wear in the future.
