Chapter 224: Song Zheyuan's Regret

"Telegraphed to the 162nd Division and the 127th Division, asking them to immediately abandon their positions, organize their equipment, and quickly maneuver towards Huangcun. After arriving at Huangcun, they immediately occupied favorable terrain and launched a defensive position. The rest of the troops directly under the military headquarters immediately sorted out their equipment, and we went to Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the 38th Division. Tian Zheng frowned, looked at the topographic map on the sand table, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Military seat, then let's just go, then Tongzhou City and the entire east flank gate is wide open, if the remnants of the Japanese army in Tianjin come to attack, then the entire east road will no longer have any defense! When the time comes, after we join Zhang Zizhong's troops, I am afraid that we will inevitably suffer from the enemy on our backs. Wang Zilu looked at the sand table and said worriedly.

Tian Zheng smiled, this smile was a little gloomy and bloodthirsty. It was the excitement of a beast when it saw its prey.

"The remnants of the Japanese army in Tianjin City? With less than 1,500 troops, no aviation units and no chariot units, and only a few of their field guns, if they can't shrink back, there is no need for us to clean them up. If they dare to do it, then they will not return! ”

"As for the entire East Road Portal, even if we don't let it go, what can we do? At present, the main force of the entire Japanese army has gathered more than 30,000 troops, and enough tanks and artillery have been replenished from the base camp, plus under the cover of the bombing of their aircraft, if we can't go all out to plug the gap in the Nanyuan position, then as long as the Japanese army completely breaks through the defense line and opens the passage for the Japanese army to go south, then the entire land of North China will be in danger! From the south of Nanyuan, there is almost no natural danger to defend, and after the Japanese army breaks through, it will be like a horse stepping all over Pingchuan, and there is no place to restrain them! Tian Zheng coldly pointed to the terrain near Huangcun, which was a flat river between the mountains, and it was also the fastest and smoothest road to go south from the Nanyuan position.

"The Japanese army has been rectified tonight, and tomorrow it will continue to move south. And they have heavy forces such as tank units. It is bound to pass through Huangcun. There are two passes in the area of Huangcun, and the narrowest part is only less than 300 meters wide. Our battlefield is Huangcun! ”

"Yes!" Wang Zilu and Yan Shisan replied immediately. Immediately, Wang Zilu took the staff to formulate the battle plan. Yan Shisan personally supervised the logistics department and the transportation brigade to sort out the materials and count the equipment. This goes to Huangcun. Perhaps it will be the biggest battle since the founding of the 54th Army! Yan Shisan's heart was a little heavy. After this battle, it may not be known how many more fighters will lose their lives. But this is war, and what you can do is to ensure that the materials and ammunition of the troops can keep up, do a good job in collecting and sorting out intelligence, and do a good job in logistics support for every battle of the troops!

The military orders were like a mountain, and they were issued one by one with the battle plan drawn up by Wang Zilu and the General Staff. The entire 54th Army was immediately in full swing. Zhao Qilong, the commander of the 162nd Division, said when he gave the order, "Before five o'clock in the morning, the whole division must reach the designated position!" Otherwise, who will be slow to arrive. Military disposition! ”

After the merger, the head of the guard regiment, Xie Ning, and the deputy head Yan Xiaoliu quickly began to evacuate from their positions on the north side of Tongzhou City. With the engineer regiment, the transport brigade, the anti-chemical battalion and the military department directly under the military department, there were two front and rear roads, with Tian Zheng and Wang Zilu leading the guard regiment first, and Yan 13 taking the rest of the directly subordinate troops behind.

The garrison positions of the 29th Army have now been massed by the Japanese to break through the frontal line. As a result, Feng Zhi'an of the 37th Division and the 109th and 110th Brigades under his command were all cut off by the Japanese army in the southwest direction of the position. The 38th Division Zhang Zizhong and most of his 112th Brigade and 113th Brigade were all isolated on the east side of the position, and the 132nd Division and the 219th Regiment and a regiment of the 143rd Division were all received by Zhang Zizhong of the 38th Division. But the defeated soldiers who received it brought very bad news.

"The Japanese army has gathered a large force, and at this moment it is like a sharp blade into the frontal position of our army, and they have broken through the positional defense. Now our 37th Division and 38th Division are divided into two halves by the Japanese army. Unable to converge, our army is like a long dragon that has been moved to be cut off, and we cannot care about each other. I'm afraid that as soon as the sun comes out tomorrow, the Japanese army will be broken individually! At this moment, Song Zheyuan's face was full of gunpowder smoke and dust, he was already a little older, but after the defeat in this battle, he looked even older, and his back, which had always been upright, was bent down. The eyes that were originally bright have lost their luster at the moment. There was only endless pain and emotion left in his eyes.

"The military headquarters and the teams directly under the military headquarters of our army, as well as the 132nd Division, the 143rd Division, and the 219th Regiment are basically disabled! More than half of the troops suffered casualties, and after the battle, I don't know where the rout started first, and immediately countless soldiers began to flee throughout the position! The officers behind can't stop! Hey, it's not to blame these dolls! It's really that the Japanese attack this time is too fierce! Compared with the fierce battle of Lugou Bridge at the beginning, the latter is far inferior to the recent days! The 143rd Division, as the first line of defense, was the first to be disabled! The Japanese army flew no less than 200 sorties to bomb! Before the officers and men of the 143rd Division began to see the enemy, most of them had already been reduced by half! By the time the Japanese ground tank units and artillery units coordinated with the infantry to attack, the 143rd Division's position was only more than half an hour, except for less than 200 dolls who ran back, the rest remained on the position forever! Our military headquarters was attacked by a group of elite Japanese troops, and the military headquarters police battalion could not stop the elite Japanese troops, so our military headquarters had to start moving. When the transfer of the military headquarters was completed, I realized that because of poor information and poor command, the 143rd Division was completely finished! However, a regiment of the 132nd Division and the 219th Regiment thought that they were mobile reserve troops, but they could not be the first to go up, which allowed the Japanese to break through our positions continuously. Now there are no more troops left in the frontal positions that can resist in the slightest! ”

After Song Zheyuan said this, his face turned pale, and he had infinite self-blame and regret in his heart. He remembered that it was he who wanted to drive away Tian Zheng and the 54th Army. And now, it was Tian Zheng who came to the rescue with the 54th Group Army at the first time. Tian Zheng repaid his grievances with virtue so much, how could Song Zheyuan not be touched in his heart! Perhaps because Song Zheyuan has different political views and different positions, Tian Zheng will not pretend. But Song Zheyuan felt even more sorry for his 29th Army. The 29th Army in his hands, from the beginning of the lack of clothes and clothing, father does not love mother, dilapidated lack of weapons and equipment, lack of military spending, almost reduced to the situation of called Huazi, after several years of continuous development, now has become more than 40,000 members, second only to Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army in weapons and equipment. These are all the efforts of this somewhat stubborn Song Zheyuan! If the 29th Army is completely disabled here, then Song Zheyuan's heart is afraid that he will die of blood!

"Commander Song, rest assured! Huaxia is the motherland of our 40,000,000 Chinese compatriots and our own land! No matter what suspicions, no matter all walks of life, no matter what background and ability, when the motherland is invaded, as every Chinese person, we must stand up and fight to defend the motherland! What's more, our army is the closest unit to your army, and when friendly troops need help, our army is naturally duty-bound! Tian Zheng said with a smile.

Song Zheyuan let out a long sigh, grabbed Tian Zheng's hand, and shook it up and down fiercely, "Commander Tian, I was wrong in the past, and I didn't change my belief in the provocation of those people in the Military Command Bureau, and deliberately embarrassed your army. At this moment, your army ignores the past suspicions and helps out, I, I really ......"

Commander Song's mood is understandable. But at this point, let's study the battlefield situation first! Tian Zheng said.

Song Zheyuan was stunned for a moment, and said freely, "Haha, good!" With the help of your army, it is difficult for the small Japanese army to be arrogant! ”

I'm sorry. Yesterday I would have liked to have continued the outbreak. Who knew that when I woke up, there was a power outage. It stopped from more than six o'clock in the morning until the early hours of this morning. Work hard today and continue to hit the 10,000-word mark!
