Section 8 The Battle of Wuhan V
Zhuang Jihua's line is next to the provincial political axe, the original provincial security command, this security command was greatly compressed after Wu Dingchang took office, and after the serious come, the security headquarters was simply moved into the provincial political axe, which was set up as a camp in Guizhou.
Xia Yanglin dismounted at the gate of Xingyuan, ignored the two sentries at the door, walked quickly with his head high, and bumped into a serious head-on, he snapped and saluted seriously, and looked him up and down with a serious smile: "Yes, it's here so soon, go in, the Cultural Revolution is waiting for you." ”
"Yes, Mr. Yan, why is there such a mess in the city." Before Xia Yanglin joined the army, he had been trained for a short time in the training team that he presided over seriously, and this teacher could afford to be serious.
"You understand when you see the Cultural Revolution." Seriously didn't say anything, just urged him to see Zhuang Jihua, Xia Yanglin knew that Zhuang Jihua must be in a hurry, something big must have happened.
"...., General Li Zongren, commander of the First Theater of Operations, claimed that retreating to the south bank of the Yellow River was part of the battle plan, and that the First Theater would take advantage of the natural dangers of the Yellow River to block the Japanese army, and the Yellow River would inevitably be stained red with the blood of the Japanese army at that time."
"The Central News Agency's front-line battle report said that the army in northern Shandong conquered Yuncheng and Juye after paying huge casualties, and continued to attack westward.
"General Jiang Dingwen, commander of the Fifth Theater, assured the press today that hundreds of thousands of officers and men of the Fifth Theater are waiting for the day, and if the army comes to attack, they will certainly meet the blow head-on and achieve another great victory."
General Jiang Dingwen judged that this was a test of the army, intending to contain our army's movements, and the main direction of the army's attack was still a war zone, and our army would not be affected by their actions.
"The base camp announced that in this battle to defend Wuhan, the army has concentrated nearly one million troops, the enemy situation is unprecedentedly serious, and the battle will be unprecedentedly cruel, and Commander-in-Chief Chiang asked the whole army to fight bravely and shed the last drop of blood for the defense of Wuhan. Wuhan citizens today launched a city-wide march in response to the call of the commander-in-chief. ”
"General Chen Cheng, commander of the Ninth Theater (the previous text is wrong, it should be the Ninth Theater, not the Sixth Theater), claimed that in order to cooperate with the actions of the Jiangbei Army, the 11th Army of the Army is preparing to launch an attack on Anqing, and our Anqing defenders are vigorously preparing for battle."
When Xia Yanglin stepped into Zhuang Jihua's office, Zhuang Jihua was listening to the front-line battle report on the radio. Following the start of Okamura Ningji's 11th Army, the First Army of Henan and the Second Army of Shandong also launched offensives one after another, and the 32nd Army and the Third Group Army carried out delayed operations north of the Yellow River in accordance with the established deployment, and the real defense line was built on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Li Zongren's plan was to use the Yellow River to block the attack of the First Army of the Yue Army.
After the fiasco of Yucheng, the army abandoned Heze and withdrew to the east of the canal, Tang Enbo established a headquarters at the headquarters of the Heze Right Wing Army, under the jurisdiction of the 31st Group Army and the troops of the original Jicha Theater, and the operation was still aimed at delaying the attack of the army.
Tang Enbo stubbornly resisted in the canal area for a week, and after Shang Zhen commanded the troops north of the Yellow River to gradually withdraw from Tangyin and Puyang, the army approached the north bank of the Yellow River, and Tang Enbo abandoned the canal and withdrew to Heze to continue the resistance.
The army in the First War Zone acted actively, but the army assembled in Xuzhou and Bengbu never moved, and it was not until the Henan army approached the north bank of the Yellow River that the Xuzhou army began a small-scale tentative operation.
South of the Yangtze River, Okamura Ningji continued to implement the deception plan of Kage Zuo Zhenzhao, and made the posture that the main force was preparing to go south to bypass Jiangxi to attack Nanchang, but on the contrary, the Chinese side was not fooled, and still deployed the main force along the Yangtze River, and only arranged some miscellaneous armies on the southern front, such as the 66th Army and the 64th Army in Guangdong, the main forces along the Yangtze River did not move at all, of course, it was not completely unmoved, and the 11th Group Army led by Yu Jishi was stationed on the Nanxun line, but they were originally stationed here.
After Zhuang Jihua heard Xia Yanglin's report, he reached out to turn off the radio, and then turned his head and nodded at him, Xia Yanglin saw that he looked worried, and the dissatisfaction in his heart rose spontaneously, but before he complained, Zhuang Jihua eagerly asked if all the troops had arrived, and after getting a negative answer, Zhuang Jihua's face became gloomy.
"Commander, the battle for the defense of Wuhan is about to start, what are you transferring me back for at this juncture." Xia Yanglin finally couldn't hold back and complained.
"The war is still long," Zhuang Jihua looked up at him, a little alert in his heart, Xia Yanglin didn't say anything, Zhuang Jihua's expression was straight, and his tone gradually became stern: "If there is, then it's best to change it immediately." ”
After speaking, he threw an article to Xia Yanglin: "Every officer must conscientiously study this article, conscientiously appreciate the spirit of it, and understand why we want to organize and train the new army and why we want to develop Guizhou." Leaving the battlefield today is to return to the battlefield tomorrow and achieve victory, understand? ”
"Yes! Got it! Xia Yanglin hurriedly put away the article, he didn't expect that just one sentence would attract such a severe reprimand. After a while, seeing that it was okay, he leaned up again with a calm face: "Commander, big brother, what's the matter, why do you want to transfer us here from Sichuan?" ”
Zhuang Jihua sighed softly, the security regiment to Guiyang training is Zhuang Jihua's first step, Guizhou's security regiment has basically become the umbrella of local forces, combined with the landlord's own armed forces to become a force support against the new deal, the two working groups sent Tongren and Dushan all sacrificed, most of the others encountered armed resistance. Therefore, Zhuang Jihua wanted to transfer the provincial security regiment to the provincial capital for training, of course, the training was just an excuse, the purpose was to integrate all of them into the 112th Army and set up a temporary division in the 112th Army, but the security regiments of Tongren and Dushan did not come.
After these security regiments arrived in Guiyang, the security headquarters couldn't suppress them at all, these people didn't take the security headquarters in their eyes at all, they seemed to be good in person, but they turned their faces and left them behind, and the military discipline was poor, wandering inside and outside the city all day long, stealing chickens and dogs, and molesting women, which gave Zhuang Jihua and Wu Dingchang a headache.
With regard to the Tongren Security Corps and Dushan Security Corps, which did not arrive in Guiyang, Zhuang Jihua and Wu Dingchang's common judgment was that they had nothing to do with the murder of the task force. The killing of the task force made Wu Dingchang very angry and insisted on taking tough measures, but at present, there are only these security regiments left in the entire Guizhou army, and almost all of them have no confidence in them.
Zhuang Jihua told Xia Yanglin in detail about the current problems, and finally said: "Now what I can count on is your army, after you arrive, I will forcibly integrate these security regiments into the army, and then rebuild the security regiment in the whole province." ”
"What about the two security corps?" Xia Yanglin was a little curious, of course he knew that Zhuang Jihua would never let go of those two regiments, and the people in the development team knew that when he made up his mind, anyone who stood in the way would be moved, not to mention the people who killed him.
"Someone has already dealt with it, and it won't be long before news comes in." Zhuang Jihua's tone was calm, but Xia Yanglin nodded understandingly, he even guessed that it must be the special forces who handled this matter, and the existence of the special forces was confidential, but Xia Yanglin knew that Song Yunfei and Zhao Hanjie were friends in Guangzhou, could he not know.
Zhuang Jihua did not stay in Xia Yanglin anymore, and asked him to immediately go to see the barracks prepared for the troops, the 10th Division of Honor was divided into three places, one for each brigade, and the troops directly under the division lived in the city.
Within two days, the 10th Honor Division drove to Guiyang one after another, and the security regiments in various localities were shocked and uncertain when they saw the troops arriving one after another, and they did not dare to do anything like some time ago.
Outside Tongren County, the bright moon is blocked by dark clouds, the courtyard wall of the courtyard is black and swarthy in the night, the sound of gossiping fists in the courtyard spreads far away in the silent night, the high courtyard wall blocks the daytime light in the courtyard, and there are two dead wind lamps hanging at the main entrance, which quietly shows the extraordinary of the owner.
More than a dozen figures flashed out of the surrounding darkness, they quickly flashed out more than a dozen figures, pounced on the root of the courtyard wall, and then set up a human ladder, and soon someone on the courtyard wall drew a circle with a match, "up", a low voice, dozens of figures rushed out of the night, to the corner of the wall, grabbed the rope, rubbed, rubbed, rubbed, a few times to climb the courtyard wall. After all the people in the corner of the wall climbed up, after a while, three circles were drawn on the courtyard wall.
A crisp sound of horses' hooves knocked on the silence, the sound of horses' hooves stopped in front of the gate, Zhao Hanjie turned over and dismounted, two soldiers pushed open the courtyard door, Zhao Hanjie stepped in, there was no trace of blood in the air, but there were two Zhuang Ding Wei behind the door and froze on the ground.
Standing at the gate, the courtyard was unobstructed, seven or eight tables were placed in the courtyard, the hustle and bustle was still the same, Zhao Hanjie looked at them coldly, and gradually someone noticed him, the hustle and bustle gradually subsided, and everyone looked at this officer who suddenly appeared in disbelief.
"Sir, what are you doing when you come to the Humble House?" Some emaciated masters hurried over to greet him, and a fine layer of sweat broke out on his forehead under the torches.
"I'm looking for the head of the Tongren Security Corps." Zhao Hanjie didn't glance at him from the corner of his eyes, but said coldly.
"What's the matter with me?" The head of the regiment asked with a grin, but his eyes were turning around, the watchtower was swarthy, and he couldn't see clearly, but the perennial experience in the rivers and lakes told him that the watchtowers on all sides had been controlled, and the one who came was not good.
"I'm ordered to arrest you." Zhao Hanjie didn't talk nonsense, he was completely in the posture of a fierce dragon crossing the river, and then he glanced at the owner of the village: "And you, Lord Shen Zhuang, your crime is to collude with bandits and security groups and kill the provincial political axe team." ”
Wow, the crowd suddenly made an uproar, everyone took guns one after another, "pop, pop", a point shot, all those who took guns were killed, Zhao Hanjie didn't move the corners of his eyes, staring at the head of the security regiment Yu to death.
Commander Yu stood up slowly, the other party's momentum frightened him, and the ability shown by the other party also made him frightened, he heard it, there were not many shots, and a brother fell with every shot.
"If you want to take me, you have to show your hand." As he spoke, Commander Yu quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist and slapped it on the table with a snap.
"What's there to reveal with a bandit like you," Zhao Hanjie said mockingly: "The little devil who fell under the guns of our brothers, there are not 10,000 but 2,000, what are you, okay, the people are here, execute!" ”
With the execution of the two-word exit, bangbang, several shots in the dark, several people sitting in the chief all fell in a pool of blood, the owner's legs trembled, trembling all over, he had never seen it at all.
Zhao Hanjie slowly pulled out his pistol, put it against his head, looked at him with two eyes, and said word by word: "You colluded with the security group to massacre the members of the provincial political axe task force, and executed you in accordance with the wartime control regulations." ”
"I..."
"Smack." Before he could finish speaking, a bullet flew out of the back of his head with bloodshots, and Zhao Hanjie didn't even move his eyebrows.
At the same time, another team of special forces surrounded the security regiment and disarmed the entire Tongren security regiment.
