Chapter 487: The Battle of East China III
Accompanied by Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong and others, Zhang Xinghan secretly entered Zibo City, and went straight to Liu Jianguo's headquarters in the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A soldier had already spread out the map, and Zhang Xinghan didn't care about drinking some tea, so he beckoned to Liu Jianguo: "Jianguo, come, analyze and discuss with me how to march next." ”
Liu Jianguo stepped forward as he said, pointed to the map and said: "Four days ago, the enemy army besieging Zibo had retreated to the Weifang area, and I reported this to you before I was humiliated."
In the past few days, I have dispatched quite a number of reconnaissance units, and with the cooperation of the air force's reconnaissance planes, we have discovered that this enemy force is still stationed in the Weifang area, and there is no change in it. ”
&nb―pig-pig-island-novel{zhu}{zhu}{dao}sp; "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded, stared at the map and fell into deep thought.
Not long after, Zhang Xinghan thought about it, took a picture of the map and said, "How much is the total strength of our troops in Jining now?" ”
"Coupled with the division brought by General Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu, there were originally 30,000 people, and later brought more than 4,000 people to aid Zibo, and now there should be a division of more than 20,000 people."
After listening to this, Zhang Xinghan said: "Han Fuqu and don't worry, but Zhang Xiaoliu, I don't know that the development is like divine help in the past two years, so I decided to solve Qingdao first and then go south."
In this way, you immediately send a telegram to Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu, and leave 15,000 people for Shang Zhen to continue to be stationed outside Jining City, Han Fuqu has been frightened, and he will never dare to go out of the city to face the battle.
Zhang Tingshu led 9,000 men and horses to enter Linyi from Jining to the east, and after capturing Linyi, he quickly went north and attacked Qingdao, so that the enemy army in Weifang would definitely return to Qingdao.
At that time, we will take advantage of the situation to attack again, encircle Qingdao in one fell swoop, and capture it. ”
After listening to Zhang Xinghan's deployment, Liu Jianguo couldn't help but nod and praise: "The general seat is wise, and our army will win." However, there is one thing that we need to be more vigilant against, and that is that there are still a number of naval ships in Qingdao's Shen Honglie Division, although their strength cannot be compared with our Northeast Navy.
But it is also a navy with thousands of long-trained personnel, and if it can be collected for its own use, it can be described as a beautiful thing for us, who are in short supply of professional naval personnel. ”
"Well, you reminded me, and I almost forgot about it." Zhang Xinghan nodded in contemplation, paused and said, "Let's do it, send electricity to the navy." Ten destroyers, one battleship, and two submarines were immediately dispatched to the waters of the Jiaodong Peninsula.
If there are naval ships in Qingdao port that try to flee south, they should be intercepted without seeking to be sunk, and it is best to force them back and wait for the battle in Qingdao to be resolved. ”
"Yes." Liu Jianguo hurriedly stepped forward and responded.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Xinghan ordered Liu Jianguo to gather troops and prepare to lead his troops to advance towards Weifang in order to attract the attention of the Weifang garrison and the direction of Qingdao.
Cover the roundabout actions of Zhang Tingshu's deviant division.
Zhang Xinghan brought his own personal guard battalion and Wang Longxiang's airborne brigade. These two of the most elite ace troops of the Northeast Army.
Coupled with the more than 4,000 people brought by Liu Jianguo and the surviving defenders who originally defended Zibo, the total strength was close to 7,000.
Compared with the enemy army in Weifang, although the strength was still at a disadvantage, Zhang Xinghan was confident enough to defeat Zhang Xiaoliu's 20,000 army in the field.
This self-confidence comes not only from his outstanding command ability. The main thing is that it has its own air force and tank troops, two weapons of mass destruction that the Qingdao army cannot resist and contend with.
The trump cards of the guard battalion and the airborne brigade are absolutely elite troops that can block ten with one block.
Therefore, Zhang Xinghan decided to personally lead the troops to take the initiative to attack and advance to Weifang.
Except for some necessary precautions. In addition to maintaining law and order in the city, nearly 7,000 soldiers basically all gathered in a wide open space outside the city.
At the base of the city wall near the gate, a point tower was erected, and below the point platform. The seven thousand soldiers were pressed in black, and as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of cyan made up of steel helmets, and the sharp bayonets reflected a chilling glow in the sunlight.
The scene was silent, the silent needle drop could be heard, and an invisible killing aura filled the air and diffused.
This is an elite army that has experienced a hundred battles, and an iron-blooded army built with a military soul.
From the officers and men, whose arms, legs, and feet were still wrapped in bloody gauze, they endured severe pain and stood up straight like their other companions, and the steel spears equipped with bayonets resisted the same standard height.
It can be seen that they are disciplined and well-trained.
In fact, the soldiers were still very excited in their hearts, because they knew that the commander-in-chief, whom they admired and respected the most, would come back to give them a pre-battle lecture.
After the soldiers waited excitedly for about 20 minutes, a group of tall, heavily armed, and indifferent soldiers rushed out of the city gate, and soon set up a guard around the station.
Defend the entire point station without leaking.
From the MP38 submachine guns they were all equipped with, the soldiers in the audience understood that this was a group of guards, and they couldn't help but be excited when they knew that the commander-in-chief was coming.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhang Xinghan to come out of the city gate surrounded by Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong, Wang Longxiang and a group of officers and staff guards, and strode towards the point platform.
When Zhang Xinghan came to the stage, the eyes of thousands of officers and soldiers in the audience suddenly fell on him.
Although the soldiers remained silent, the eyes of fanatical adoration already indicated their mood at the moment.
Zhang Xinghan took a simple loudspeaker from Guo Zhong's hand and said loudly: "Brothers, since the southward war, you have been brave and fearless, going forward one after another, making great achievements, and creating the invincible prestige of our Northeast Army, I am proud of you.
A few days ago, some of you suffered a defeat in Weifang, and there is no shame in that.
Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and you have once again proved in the bloody battle of Zibo that you are invincible and invincible, and you are the trump card of our Northeast Army.
You are the best soldiers, and whoever is going to lead you to defeat is the incompetence of the commander and has nothing to do with you.
Of course, losing a battle is not a glorious thing, and as a soldier, it is even a shame to be defeated by a weak opponent.
The ancients were ashamed and brave! If you want to avenge the death of the robes, you want to wash away the shame of the previous defeat.
Then give me a 120,000-point spirit, follow me to fight in Weifang again, and tell me, do you have the confidence to be ashamed? ”
Thousands of soldiers had already blushed and their necks were thick, and they suddenly pulled their throats and responded in unison: "Yes!" ”
"Good!" Zhang Xinghan said: "I believe some of you already know that it was none other than our old opponent who attacked you on the Weifang battlefield, the Qingdao Army formed by Zhang Shaomarshal who colluded with the Japanese to deal with us back then.
Zhang Shaoshuai was the defeated general of my Zhang people, and it was he who fled without a fight with hundreds of thousands of troops, causing tens of millions of people in the four northeastern provinces to become slaves.
And his soldiers were also defeated by your men, as evidenced by the battle outside the gate back then!
This time, let's teach these defeated soldiers a lesson and show them what the real elite division is! ”
"Long live the Commander-in-Chief, long live the Commander-in-Chief!" Some soldiers in the audience recalled the past, and they couldn't help but take the lead in raising their arms and shouting.
Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and the huge wave almost broke through the sky.
This group of high-spirited elites set off in this way.
Zhang Xinghan left 1,000 people behind, and there were many wounded soldiers among these 1,000 people, but they showed great willpower, saying that they could be up to the task of staying behind.
…………
Weifang City, Qingdao Army Headquarters.
Liu Duoquan hurriedly walked into the war room, and said urgently to Yu Xuezhong, who was meditating in front of the map: "Brother Xiaohou, I just got a report from the reconnaissance force that the Northeast rebels stationed in Zibo suddenly went out of the city and killed Weifang.
It is menacing, and it seems that it is planning to attack our army in Weifang. ”
"What? You say that the Northeast rebels took the initiative? Yu Xuezhong was taken aback and turned around.
Liu Duoquan nodded and said, "Yes, what should we do?" Whether to continue to hold on and wait for work, or take the initiative to attack, or ambush halfway to combat the arrogance of these rebels. ”
Yu Xuezhong frowned and said suspiciously: "The total strength of the rebels is only more than 5,000 people, and they still have to stay in Zibo, so they dare to take the initiative to attack with this amount of troops?" ”
Liu Duoquan said angrily: "Whatever, these rebels can't do anything, we will take the initiative to attack, destroy them, and occupy Zibo again!" ”
"There must be a demon out of the abnormal, this thing is too strange, besides, the young marshal has called several times and strictly ordered us to garrison Weifang, not to order, not to act rashly." Yu Xuezhongdao.
"The general's order is not subject to the foreign king's order, our army has more than 20,000 people, can't we still defeat those thousands of rebels?" Liu Duoquan said impatiently.
"Don't underestimate it, Brother Liu, haven't you forgotten that these thousands of rebel reinforcements are equipped with a lot of tank and combat vehicles, if you attack rashly, we can't resist these tank and combat vehicles, and if you are not careful, you may lose the battle." Yu Xuezhong said cautiously.
"Brother Xiaohou, you are so afraid of wolves and tigers, how can we still fight." Liu Duoquan was young and vigorous, and he was immediately dissatisfied.
Yu Xuezhong said bitterly: "Brother Liu, it's not that Yu is too cowardly, but we can't afford to lose now."
Now we have less than 50,000 horses in total, and if there is a mistake, the young marshal's hard work in the past two years will be in vain.
So be cautious and cautious, and it's also a safe move in desperation! ”
A staff officer saw that the two were gradually showing signs of quarreling, and cautiously persuaded: "Two chiefs, it is better to report this matter to the young marshal as soon as possible, and ask the young marshal to decide, wouldn't it be the safest for us to act on orders again?" ”
The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
