Chapter 1294 is a fog

In the dead of night, Tianjin Jinghai Frontline Headquarters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The generals and colonies, who had washed away the smoke and bloody smell of gunpowder, finally cleaned up their mood and sat together to discuss the gains and losses of the daytime battle.

As soon as the meeting began, An Yi made a self-examination with a heavy face: "I'm sorry, everyone, I have an unshirkable responsibility for the huge losses suffered by this attack. Before the war, although I had expected that the battle might be very tragic, it still did not attract enough attention, whether it was in the arrangement of troops or in the impromptu response, there were problems, so the sudden counterattack of the Japanese army would bring us so much damage. After the meeting, I will ask the theater command and *** for punishment. ”

Wan Fulin had already recovered his spirit at this time, and hurriedly stood up and argued:

"General An's words are wrong, before the war, who could have predicted that the Japanese army would be so insidious and cunning? After the Japanese army was broken through its defense line near the river, it still held back, until our army was suddenly launched under the city of Tianjin, and in the previous operations, the Japanese army rarely used tanks on a large scale, and now dozens of tanks suddenly appeared, who could have imagined beforehand? ”

Compared with the 53rd Army, the losses of Pang Bingxun's 40th Army in this battle were smaller, because the Japanese army wanted to ensure the safety of its two ports of Tanggu and Dagu, and there were not many armored troops engaged in counterattacks. The brigade benefited from Miyagi's ability to respond to emergencies, although it lost nearly one-third of its soldiers, but its combat strength was still there, so Pang Bingxun was in a more relaxed mood. Listening to Wan Fulin's words, Pang Bingxun smiled slightly:

"General An, in fact, I don't think this is a failure, although we have suffered a lot of losses, but the Japanese army is not comfortable, not to mention how many artillery pieces the Japanese army lost under the two rounds of bombardment by the Central Air Force, in terms of troop losses, at least the Japanese army lost no less than 10,000 people! In addition, a large number of tanks invested by the Japanese army were also destroyed under the wise and decisive command of General An, and I believe that the psychological blow to the Japanese army was so great that it may even be in the last battle of Tianjin.

"Let's think about it, the Japanese army did not hesitate to expose its hidden heavy artillery positions, and dispatched its tank troops on a large scale, thinking that it had eaten two divisions and one brigade in which our army was under siege, but what was the final result? The Japanese troops who attacked all retreated, with countless casualties! In the end, it was only after our army retreated to the south bank of the Liuli River that it was lucky to regain its position. So, in my opinion, this battle is not a victory, but at least it is an undefeated game! ”

Shang Zhen said with emotion: "General An is brave, if our 32nd Army suddenly encounters those tanks of the Japanese army, and is in a panic, it will inevitably be a big defeat." Therefore, I think that General An is not only without fault, but also meritorious, so the suggestion to ask for punishment can be put on hold! ”

An Yi looked solemn and shook his head slightly: "A victory is a victory, a defeat is a defeat, don't comfort me anymore, seniors." After a big battle, the 40th Army and the 53rd Army lost nearly 40,000 soldiers, and almost everyone else hung up the lottery, An Yi really couldn't bear it. Due to the critical situation, the remains of many of our soldiers were left on the north bank of the Liuli River, and An Yi felt painful whenever he thought about it...... How can you not give these fallen soldiers an explanation, how can you convince the public? ”

Wan Fulin saw An Yi's resolute face, thought for a while, and said: "General An, now the three division commanders of our army who have suffered heavy losses are here, and General Miyagi of the 40th Army is also here, what do you think of them?" ”

An Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and looked at Zhu Hongxun, the commander of the 130th Division who stood up to speak.

General Zhu Hongxun led his troops into the north bank of the Liuli River to rescue the 91st, 116th Division and the 40th Army *** Brigade recounted the experience, and then said loudly: "I don't make any big senses, I only know that if it weren't for Chief An's inspiration, our 130th Division would have collapsed in the face of the first wave of Japanese tank attacks, not to mention the successful rescue of three friendly troops later!" In the ensuing battle, the Gendarmerie Regiment of the An Family Army and General An's guards showed very strong combat effectiveness, saving our troops in danger several times, if it weren't for General An, I believe that this time our 53rd Army would have to be wiped out, so I think that even if General An has any faults, it is more merit than fault, and it must not be erased. ”

Zhou Fucheng was the second to stand up and speak: "Chief An, with the respect of the deputy chief of general staff of the whole army, regardless of his personal safety, went to the front line to rescue our department from danger, this great kindness, I Zhou Fucheng will always remember in my heart." In fact, in my opinion, although the casualties of the divisions were huge this time, wasn't there a large-scale shooting of the Japanese army and the weakening of the Japanese army's vitality among the goals set before the war? No matter what twists and turns there were, it was achieved, so I don't think it's a defeat, it's a victory. ”

Feng Zhanhai solemnly saluted An Yi: "Sir An, the brothers died to fight the little devils, and they died well, and the chief doesn't need to feel guilty about it at all." In fact, Zhanhai was in a desperate situation, almost thinking that he had no luck, and he never resented the commander, at that time, even if the gods came, there was no solution, the Japanese army not only occupied an absolute advantage in firepower, but also far stronger than us in terms of mobility, to break out of the encirclement is almost a luxury. Who knew that it was in such a desperate situation that the commander killed all the way to Dongjia Village and rescued Zhanhai and the 91st Division. You don't know how I felt at that time, I, Feng Zhanhai, usually think I am a man, but when I saw General An in a desperate situation, I still couldn't help crying! General An, this time the brothers killed the devil happily, although they have no regrets! ”

Miyagi finally stood up: "Sir An, I don't think there is anything wrong with today's battle, although our losses are very large, but we have also forced out many secrets deliberately hidden by the Japanese army, and the purpose of detecting the enemy's situation has been completely achieved." Therefore, I feel that this is a victory, and we should ask the theater command and *** for credit. ”

Hearing the heartfelt words of the four generals who were almost in the Jedi, An Yi was moved: "Generals, I understand your kindness, I know that although the brothers have no regrets in fighting devils, after all, it is 40,000 fresh lives, yesterday everyone was still laughing and laughing together, but today people and ghosts have different paths, I ......"

Shang Zhen said suddenly: "Don't be slimy like a girl, so let's do it, since everyone has their own opinions, let's carry forward *** and *** to solve this dispute." ”

Wan Fulin was stunned for a moment, and then slapped the table: "Move!" This is long overdue! ”

Pang Bingxun was also overjoyed: "Okay, I agree, how is the specific *** law?" ”

Shang Zhen was confident and pointed to the people at the conference table: "We all have one vote for each of us...... In favor of General An's failure to attack Tianjin, please raise your hand? ”

Except for An Yi, no one agreed.

"Then, if you are now opposed to General An taking responsibility, and think that this operation has fully achieved the combat goal, please raise your hand!" Shang Zhen took the initiative to raise his hand after speaking, and then everyone in the entire conference room except An Yi raised their hands.

An Yi shook his head helplessly: "You-"

Shang Zhen smiled all over his face: "General An, this is everyone's unanimous opinion, you have to accept it!" ”

"Okay!"

An Yi sighed, stood up and hugged his fists to everyone: "Thanks to your love, if I An Yi still doesn't know what to do, it would be too hypocritical." In this way, the losses of all armies today will be borne by our An Yi alone, the soldiers will be uniformly replenished by the central authorities, and the weapons and equipment will be provided by the Baoding Military Station, and we will not disappoint everyone! ”

There was a round of applause in the conference room. With An Yi's promise as the God of Wealth, the 53rd Army, which suffered huge losses, even if it was a shotgun for a gun, everyone knew that the weapons and equipment produced by the military factory under An Yi's name were not worse than the imported German weapons, and they were very different from the Shenyang-made and international products of the 53rd Army's equipment in the past. In particular, the mortars produced by An Jiajun have a high rate of fire, high power, light weight, simple structure, and simple operation, which can be said to be a sharp weapon for killing the enemy and winning, and even Shang Zhen can't help but envy it.

When everyone quieted down, An Yi looked serious and turned to the second theme of today's summary meeting:

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that the performance of the Japanese army is very strange, they are not without strength, at least in the previous battles with our army, they did not show all their capital. Judging from today's battle, it was not until the city of Tianjin was threatened that they used two more heavily hidden heavy artillery positions and sent their own tank units to counterattack, which once caused our army to fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army.

All this is enough to prove that once the Japanese army made up its mind, it was not without a chance to hold Wuqing and hold the Langfang line, so that it would not be possible for the 20th Division and the 109th Division to collapse on the whole line. Therefore, the Japanese army must be deliberately covering up something, and we will take a good look at the conspiracy of the Japanese army today and expose their tricks. ”

Pang Bingxun saw that no one took the initiative to speak, and said with a smile: "Let me throw bricks and lead the way, as far as my understanding of the entire battle situation is concerned, the purpose of the Japanese army is to hold Tianjin City firmly and ensure the absolute safety of Dagu and Tanggu ports. So, their conservatism is understandable. ”

Wan Fulin thought for a while: "I think the abnormal performance of the Japanese army is due to the vacillation of the guiding ideology of the Japanese army's top leadership, which has led to the people below who are at a loss to follow the plan, so there will be a situation of being conservative and not wanting to forge ahead. Itagaki Seishiro, the commander of the garrison army, was formerly the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and before he became the commander of the Fifth Division, there was no precedent for commanding the army. ”

Wan Fulin's opinion made An Yi shake his head again and again, although his history is not very good, he also knows that this Itagaki seems to have left a great reputation in history, and he is not an incompetent person.

Shang Zhen suddenly thought: "Could it be that the Japanese army has stationed a large number of troops in Tianjin City and doesn't want us to find out?" ”

Pang Bingxun retorted: "If the Japanese army has a lot of troops, why don't they support their allies and let them be annihilated?" Even the most clever chess player has no reason to abandon his son so voluntarily, so there can only be one explanation: Tianjin City can't send extra people at all. So, where did their soldiers go? ”

Wan Fulin thought so, and suddenly thought of the situation in Songhu, which had calmed down recently: "If the Japanese army suddenly sends a large number of troops to Shanghai, I don't know what the consequences will be?" ”

An Yi's expression changed, and Huo Ran stood up: "If the Japanese army puts ten divisions on the line from Shanghai to Hangzhou Bay at once, then it is estimated that Nanjing will be captured in less than two or three months when all the units of our army are heading north." But ......" An Yi shook his head again, frowned and sat down: "Will they do that?" If North China is unstable and we invade the three eastern provinces, what should we do? Does the Japanese army want to take the initiative to exchange money with us? ”

There was no one to answer An Yi's question, and what shrouded him was still a fog.
