Chapter 344: The Battle of Busan IV The Fifth Update
Chahar, Zhangjiakou, Headquarters of Sun Dianying's Department of the 41st Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Yueting came to Sun Dianying's residence mysteriously, Sun Dianying had already been notified by the doorman, and he came out in a short shirt.
"Yueting, why are you back, is there something wrong?" Sun Dianying's pockmarked face was more ugly than crying.
A few days ago, Liu Yueting was ordered by him to go to Rehe to contact Sabuli, the defender of the Northeast Army, and the two sides discussed the purchase of weapons and other matters, but he didn't expect Liu Yueting to come back so soon.
After Liu Yueting saluted him, he said mysteriously: "Chairman, something big has happened outside the gate!" ”
 'Pig'' Island 'Novel';"Oh? What's the big deal? Sun Dianying was immediately curious when she heard this.
"It is said that Zhang Xinghan personally led an army of 200,000 to cross the Yalu River a few days ago and launched a full-scale onslaught against the devils on the Goryeo Peninsula, and within a few days, the devils were defeated and occupied most of the Goryeo Peninsula!" Liu Yueting said excitedly.
"What?" Sun Dianying was obviously taken aback, and said, "Yueting, is this news reliable?" ”
"It's true!" Liu Yueting swore and said: "It has been confirmed before I come back. ”
Sun Dianying nodded and said, "He, Zhang Xinghan, transferred 200,000 troops? In that case, the four provinces outside the border should be empty now? ”
Liu Yueting nodded fiercely and said: "Yes, Zhang Xinghan's troops are more than 200,000 in total, and the remaining soldiers and horses are definitely not enough for 50,000 people. ”
"You go and invite Li Xijiu and Li Lao to come over immediately, let's discuss it well, this is a good time, we can't just sit idly by!" Sun Dianying couldn't wait.
"Yes." Liu Yueting happily accepted the order and turned to leave.
After a short time, Li Xijiu was invited over.
"Chairman Sun, I don't know how to summon the old man late at night. What's the matter? Seeing Sun Dianying, Li Xijiu bowed his head slightly as a salute.
Sun Dianying didn't care, and smiled respectfully: "Old Li, I'm really sorry to invite you so late." ”
"It's okay, there's something wrong with Chairman Sun, but it's okay to say it!" Li Xijiu waved his hand.
"Come, let's sit down and talk." Sun Dianying motioned for him and Liu Yueting to sit down, and a guard had already come over with tea.
After sitting down, Sun Dianying glanced at Liu Yueting. Liu Yueting understood and said: "Elder Li, that's the case, I just got the news that Zhang Xinghua led the main force of the Northeast Frontier Army into Korea to fight against the Japanese, and now the troops in the three northeastern provinces are very empty......
Before Liu Yueting finished speaking, Li Xijiu answered: "Are Chairman Sun and Senior Commander Liu planning to take advantage of the situation to attack the four northeastern provinces?" Want to be the king of the Northeast too? ”
Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting were stunned, when they were the king of the Northeast, he Sun Dianying dreamed of it. nodded without thinking, and said, "Elder Li, you also know that Zhang Xinghan drove the tiger and devoured the wolf not long ago to make us fight with Song Zheyuan. ended up in a lose-lose situation, and even Rehe Province was lost, and we were forced to suffer such a loss at that time. Now the great opportunity has come, and there is nothing more appropriate than now, missed this time. Such an opportunity will never come again. ”
Li Xijiu's eyes were slightly closed and he was silent.
Liu Yueting and Sun Dianying glanced at each other, and Sun Dianying asked out loud, "Old Li, why don't you speak?" What do you think? ”
Li Xijiu said in a surprising voice: "If Chairman Sun plans to attack the north, the old man only has one word to advise. ”
"What?" Sun Dianying asked in confusion.
"The teacher is nameless, the unrighteous teacher will be defeated, go to Chairman Sun, do it yourself!" Li Xijiu said expressionlessly.
"Old Li, why do you say that?" Liu Yueting was a little displeased, and her tone was heavier.
"The old man is just telling the truth, dare to ask General Liu, what is the reputation of this Zhang Xinghan and the Northeast Army among the people of the country? What about prestige? Li Xijiu asked rhetorically.
Liu Yueting said with some reluctance: "Anti-Japanese heroes, the reputation is monstrous!" ”
"That's not it, now Zhang Xinghan led his troops eastward to fight against the Japanese invaders on the Goryeo Peninsula.
Chairman Sun and General Liu did not help, but wanted to stab the knife in the back and take the opportunity to fight, once it spreads, can the two of them escape the condemnation of public opinion? At that time, our 41st Army will become the target of public criticism and the target of the country's warlords.
For example, the Jin Sui Army in Shanxi, Song Zheyuan in Chanan, and the Northeast Army in Beiping may even unite to crusade against us. Li Xijiu said this and said, "Besides, how much strength do you think we have now?" Can you defeat Zhang Xinghan's garrison in Rehe? ”
"I have already investigated clearly, Zhang Xinghan's garrison in Rehe has only one division, and the strength is less than 15,000 people." Liu Yueting said unwillingly.
"Yes, they only have 15,000 people, but Zhang Xinghan once defeated Zhang Xueliang's 100,000 army head-on with 30,000 people, and also defeated the same number of Japanese troops in Tongliao, how do you think our 41st Army compares to the Japanese army?" Li Xijiu nodded and asked rhetorically.
was asked by Li Xijiu, and Liu Yueting was also speechless.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Li Xijiu said again: "Chairman Sun, Master Liu, don't be impulsive for a while, regret it for the rest of your life, even if we can defeat the Northeast Frontier Army in Rehe, then we are bound to suffer heavy losses, and when Song Zheyuan suddenly advances eastward, what can we resist?" Didn't he make a wedding dress for someone else for nothing? ”
Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting were convinced, and after Sun Dianying pondered for a long time, he finally sighed and said: "That's it, Old Li, your analysis is right, we can't do anything to Zhang Xinghan." ”
"Chairman Sun is wise, not to say that this is a matter that defies the condemnation of the world, but to say that the military strength of both sides, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army is not something we can afford to provoke.
Others don't say it, do you think that Chairman Chiang in Nanjing and Zhang Shaomarshal in Beiping want to eliminate Zhang Xinghan more than anyone else? Instead?
But you can see that which of them dares to blatantly use force against Zhang Xinghan's troops? Zhang Xueliang entered the customs a few months ago with the slogan of recovering lost territory and fighting against the Japanese invaders! In the end, it didn't end in failure, the 100,000-strong army was almost wiped out, and its strength was greatly damaged, and I heard that it has been bedridden for many days now! Li Xijiu had another profound meaning.
"Zhang Xueliang has been bedridden for many days?" Sun Dianying's eyes rolled, and he became interested again.
Seeing that Sun Dianying had a bad heart again, Li Xijiu hurriedly persuaded him: "Chairman Sun, even if Zhang Xueliang falls ill, you don't want to pay attention to Pingjin, no matter what, he still has more than 100,000 troops, and his strength is far better than mine, and the Pingjin area is a place of four wars, and Cheng is a place that is undesirable for soldiers."
If the general wants to make a difference, he must first completely defeat Song Zheyuan, and then wave his army to the west, and plotting northwest is the only correct way out! ”
……………………
Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, Zhang Xinghan woke up, not because he didn't want to sleep more, but because his own artillery unit had to fire a cannon every half an hour, and no one could sleep.
Zhang Xinghan barely slept well all night.
After Zhang Xinghan woke up, a soldier had already prepared a face wash and a toothbrush and toothpaste for him, and after a quick wash.
Zhang Xinghan came to the command headquarters, where Jiang Baili had already arrived one step ahead of him, and he was having breakfast.
"Chief of Staff, Gao Chu, how early is it!" Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said hello.
"Commander, morning!" Everyone stood up and saluted.
Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't do these useless things, hurry up and eat, eat." ”
Breakfast is porridge and steamed buns, which cannot be compared with the food treatment of the Allied forces such as the American army later, but this is already quite a good meal during the war in the 30s.
The leader of the cooking squad brought a bowl of porridge and took two steamed buns, and also helped Zhang Xinghan prepare a heated canned beef in, very careful.
Zhang Xinghan didn't care, and after eating breakfast simply and quickly, he asked Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, send a message to ask, where is the airborne brigade now!" ”
"Yes!" Guo Zhong happily agreed, and immediately took the order to leave.
After a short time, Guo Zhong went and returned, and stood up and saluted: "Commander, I just got a reply from the airborne brigade, they have taken off from Jinzhou by plane, and the plane will land at Pingcheng Airport once, and after replenishing fuel, fly directly to Busan for airborne!" It is expected to reach the skies over Busan in two and a half hours at the latest. ”
"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "In order to attract the enemy's attention and provide favorable conditions for the paratroopers to parachute into the air, after two hours, we must launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army." Wu Chengfeng, Liu Guodong, Gao Chu! ”
"Humble duty!" Wu Chengfeng and the three of them stepped out at the same time and stepped forward to respond.
"Two hours later, you will take turns directing the troops to attack the Japanese army in order to attract the Japanese army and cover the movement of our airborne troops, understand!" Zhang Xinghan commanded.
"Yes! Humble duty understands. The three of them stepped forward at the same time.
"Then send a telegram to Gao Zhihang, and the air force will be dispatched at the same time to cooperate with the ground artillery units to launch the most violent bombardment and artillery bombardment against the Japanese army!" Zhang Xinghan turned his head to Guo Zhong again.
"Yes!" Guo Zhong bowed his head again in response, turned around and took the order.
Zhang Xinghan gave an order, and everyone was ordered to act separately, and the intermittent shelling that lasted all night stopped one after another.
Half an hour later, dozens of HE111 bombers, escorted by more than a dozen Zero fighters, flew to the front line of Busan and began to launch wanton bombardment of the city of Pusan and even the outer defense line of the Japanese army.
At the same time, a powerful artillery group composed of three heavy artillery brigades, five directly subordinate artillery regiments, and three air defense regiments once again opened fire at the same time, smashing thousands of steel bombs on the devil's head.
The entire city of Busan and the outlying positions soon fell into a sea of fire. (To be continued......)
