Chapter 77: The Battle of Shihe (4)

Han Xing saw that the headquarters was also a busy scene, the operational staff officers were planning the battle plan, and a three-dimensional sand table had already been made next to the table, and the combat shape of the entire Fujin Mountain could be seen at a glance. Military maps hung on the walls, covered with cloth, and in the telecommunications room next to them, the sound of ticking telegrams could be heard.

After enough greetings, Song Xilian said: "Chief of Staff Han, Commander Yu has already introduced your situation to me. Thank you again, if it weren't for your Southern Expeditionary Army, the 51st Army would have been miserable, and maybe you could stand in this place? ”

Han Xing hurriedly took over and said: "Our Southern Expeditionary Army is here to fight devils, with the 51st Army here, we have one more person and one more comrade-in-arms." These are all things we should do, things that have been going on for hundreds of years, and why mention it? ”

Song Xilian nodded, and Yu Xuezhong was of course very excited, and praised the Southern Expeditionary Army vigorously: "The Southern Expeditionary Army can be described as strong and strong, with high morale, excellent quality, and well-equipped. In particular, their air force is not an ordinary air force, the plane is big and fast, there is an advanced weapon on the plane, a flying machine with fire behind the ass, and the plane of the little devil is shot down from afar, and it is too enjoyable for the Chinese to raise their eyebrows. ”

Song Xilian is not an ordinary soldier, he is an excellent graduate of the first phase of the infantry section of the Central Army Military Academy, the Chinese general class of the Japanese Chiba Army Infantry School, and the first class of the army university. He knew very well the power of air supremacy, and at this time he was so worried that he couldn't deal with the little devil's plane, and when he heard Yu Xuezhong's introduction, he hurriedly asked: "May I ask Chief of Staff Han, which country is the plane of your Southern Expeditionary Army, and what model are they?" What is the name of the flaming aircraft behind you, and which country made it? ”

When Han Xing replied these words, he was very cautious, and he had to bluff Song Xilian, and he couldn't let him ask any more, which required considerable skill in speaking, once he accidentally punctured this layer of window paper, it would bring unexpected consequences.

Han Xing said very naturally: "If you want to talk about these planes, they are manufactured by a private aircraft factory in Xila, and this company is called the Feide Pheide Bugala Company, and we have a secret contract between the two sides, which can only be specially supplied to our southern expeditionary army." In addition, the company also produced an advanced weapon, called missiles, which by the way was also equipped on airplanes. ”

Han Xing said nonsense about a Feide Feide Bugala company, this Bugala, in Jinan dialect, that is, not to partner with you, ignore the meaning, this Feide Feide Bugala, that is, I have to not tell you the meaning.

Song Xilian's memory is very good, he remembered the name of this company deeply in his mind, and he was still thinking in his heart, no matter how you keep it secret, when the time comes, our national army will also send people to Greece to find this company, and then buy these planes and weapons with a higher amount of money than you, see if you are still crazy!

However, although Song Xilian thought so, he didn't say so, he still praised Han Xing very reverently and said: "Your Southern Expeditionary Army is really amazing, captured Xinhua Academy in Jinan, laid down the airfield, a naval battle in Xuzhou, shot down more than 100 Japanese aircraft, Lu'an fought another battle, rescued the 51st Army, and severely damaged the Japanese army, which can be described as a brilliant front!" Although we are a regular army of the national army, our personnel and equipment cannot be compared with yours, we are really a heaven and an earth! ”

Han Xing listened to Song Xilian vigorously touting the Southern Expeditionary Army, and his heart became alert, and he faintly felt that Song Xilian must have his purpose when he said this. You have to be careful......

Yu Xuezhong still looked like an honest man, and also helped Song Xilian and said: "That's right, that's right, the Southern Expeditionary Army is strong and strong, and the Air Force is really an elite soldier of the Chinese army!" ”

Han Xingxin said, my stupid big brother, Song Xilian just said this, what are you doing with it!

Song Xilian asked Han Xing with concern: "Chief of Staff Han, is the Southern Expeditionary Army going to fight this battle with us?" Or is it alien from us? ”

This is another big problem for Han Xing, if the Southern Expeditionary Army and Song Xilian fight this battle together, then they must obey Song Xilian's command, which will definitely limit the flexibility of the Southern Expeditionary Army. If you are outside of Song Xilian, it will be even more impossible, so what are you doing here? Just drive to the side and fight guerrillas.

There are two problems, and only one can be agreed, which is also Song Xilian's cleverness or cunning.

Han Xing smiled and said, "Look at what Commander Song said, what are we doing here, isn't it just to join forces with the main force of the national army and fight this battle together?" One chopstick is bent as soon as it is broken, and 10 chopsticks are difficult to break, so Commander Song should not educate me anymore! ”

Song Xilian smiled and said: "That's good, according to the current combat capability and weaponry situation, your Southern Expeditionary Army can be called the elite of our Chinese armed forces, in order to let little Japan know the strength of our Chinese army." I see, you will defend the main position of Honghua Mountain, right!? ”

When Yu Xuezhong heard this, he was obviously a little anxious. I thought, Commander Song, what are you doing here, don't use your trump card, can it be said that the miscellaneous troops of the Southern Expeditionary Army are guarding such an important place? He glared at Han Xing vigorously, meaning that Han Xing must not agree.

Han Xing had already seen Yu Xuezhong's eyes, but he just pretended to be the same as if he hadn't seen it.

Han Xing smiled coldly in his heart, and said in his heart, the fox's tail was finally revealed, and he turned such a big turn, and raised the Southern Expeditionary Army to such a high position step by step, it turned out that the Southern Expeditionary Army was going to guard Honghua Mountain. If the Southern Expeditionary Army defended Honghua Mountain and could hold it, the Southern Expeditionary Army would also be crippled, and if it couldn't hold it, not only would the Southern Expeditionary Army be gone, but this heavy responsibility would be even more difficult to bear.

So, Han Xing said unhurriedly: "Commander Song, if the Southern Expeditionary Army guards Honghua Mountain, are you really at ease?" ”

Song Xilian said calmly: "Why don't I worry, the Southern Expeditionary Army is our strong army, if you don't guard Honghua Mountain, who can defend Honghua Mountain?" ”

Yu Xuezhong heard the conversation between the two people, and he was secretly anxious, I said Han Xing, don't be brave for a while, you heard Song Xilian give you such a high hat, if you are really self-righteous, believe it, and be complacent, you will really be planted.

Han Xing smiled and said unhurriedly: "Commander Song, it sounds good to say that it is called the Southern Expeditionary Army, but in fact, it is just some miscellaneous troops, to put it bluntly, it is actually some bandits, and it has not been long since they changed their uniforms, so they are called the Southern Expeditionary Army." These bandit troops are really incomparable to your regular army, one in the sky and one underground. What is the place of Honghua Mountain, it is the core position of Fujin Mountain, if we lose Honghua Mountain, the entire Fujin Mountain will be finished. When the time comes, if Chairman Chiang investigates it, will he be responsible for pursuing our Southern Expeditionary Army, or will he be responsible for investigating your Commander Song! You won't be unclear about this, will you? ”

Yu Xuezhong listened to Han Xing's words, and nodded again and again, meaning, Han Xing, you are finally self-aware! If this messenger who guards Honghua Mountain agrees, something will happen!

In order to make Song Xilian see the current military situation more clearly, Han Xing said: "I won't tell you, the main deterrent force of our Southern Expeditionary Army is the Air Force, if the infantry of the Southern Expeditionary Army is gone, is there still a need for the Air Force to fight here?" ”

Although Han Xing's words were not much, they deeply touched Song Xilian's heart, the first meaning is to guard Honghua Mountain, that is, all the infantry of the Southern Expeditionary Army may be wiped out, and the second layer means that if the infantry is gone, then the air force will be withdrawn.

What Song Xilian thought of was that his biggest headache was the Japanese air force, and if the Japanese air force was suppressed, this defensive battle would be much easier to fight. If the Southern Expeditionary Army loses, as soon as their air force withdraws, they will not get the support of the Southern Expeditionary Army's air force, then it will be ruined, and this defensive battle will really be difficult to fight.

To deal with the little devils, the infantry of the Southern Expeditionary Army was not very powerful, and the most powerful was the air force of the Southern Expeditionary Army. With their own ace infantry, coupled with the air force support of the Southern Expeditionary Army, this battle will be the most reasonable match.

Thinking of this, Song Xilian laughed and said, "Chief of Staff Han, I'm kidding you, why can't this drudger guarding Honghua Mountain be handed over to you?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Xuezhong relieved himself and said, "I said, Commander Song can't let the Southern Expeditionary Army guard Honghua Mountain." ”

Han Xing took over and said, "Commander Song's joke, I took it seriously. Commander Song is the elite of the national army, and he has a lot of ace troops in his hands, so he won't put the burden on others! If we really let us guard Honghua Mountain, it would be nice to say this. ”

Although Song Xilian did not let the Southern Expeditionary Army defend Honghua Mountain, he still had to make an inch, he complained: "The most difficult thing now is the Japanese air force, and the air raid will definitely severely destroy our positions and disturb our morale, what do you say?" ”

Needless to say, it must be supported by the air force of the Southern Expeditionary Army. However, Han Xing still had to pretend to be stupid for the time being, and asked: "The air force of the national army is so powerful, stronger than the Japanese, why don't you come to support us?" ”

Song Xilian sighed and said: "The main task of the Air Force is to defend Great Wuhan, and they will support important battles." Like our little rich mountain, the Air Force has not yet taken a fancy to the eyes of the law! ”

Han Xing then said: "If the regular air force of the national army can't be counted on, then our miscellaneous air force will be on it, what does Commander Song think?" ”

"That's great!" Song Xilian was overjoyed, this was the result he ultimately hoped for.

"However, our air force is also facing many difficulties at the moment?" Han Xing began to put forward conditions.

Song Xilian was happy for a while just now, but now he heard Han Xing say that he had difficulties, and he also knew that Han Xing would inevitably have to put forward conditions, and it would be too stupid not to mention conditions at this time.

"Our air force lacks aviation gasoline, and bombers lack aerial bombs," Han said. ”

Song Xilian immediately said: "I will contact Wuhan and ask the air force to support your aviation gasoline and aerial bombs." You have bombers, that's great, how many aerial bombs can a bomber carry? ”

Han Xing smiled and said, "Our bomber is a big killer for little devils, and a bomber can carry 20 tons of aerial bombs. ”

"What, 20 tons, that's 100 times the size of a little devil bomber!" Song Xilian's eyes widened in surprise.

In the ensuing discussion, Song Xilian first promised to immediately contact the Air Force on the issue of gasoline and aerial bombs, and second, he set the defensive area of the Southern Expeditionary Army, that is, a small village called Wangling in the southwest rear direction of the 51st Army.

Han Xing went back to discuss with Zhang Weihan and did a simple division of labor. Zhang Weihan was mainly responsible for the construction of the position in the area of Wangling and the establishment of the base camp; As for Han Xing, he is mainly responsible for the Air Force's infantry and air cooperation with Fujin Mountain; As for Xu Da, he personally visited the Air Force and commanded the Air Force to fight against Japan.

At dawn on September 2, the Japanese attack on Fujin Mountain began.

It was the 13th Division of the Japanese Army's 2nd Army that was responsible for attacking Fujin Mountain, so what about the 10th Division, it was not in the First Battle of Lu'an, it was beaten by the 51st Army of the National Army and the local army Southern Expeditionary Army to lose its armor and abandon its armor, and the wounded soldiers were heavy, and they no longer had the ability to attack Fujin Mountain, their main task was to attack Gushi County, which was also a weak place for the National Army.

The 10th Division, like a badly wounded wolf, was temporarily tending to his wounds and doing small tasks that were not too physically demanding. When you recuperate, you may pounce on you again with a loud roar.
