While the two were talking, a signal soldier rushed from afar, panting and saluting Zhang Xinghan and reported: "General seat, here, the enemy is coming." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Xinghan looked excited when he heard this, and said to Guo Zhong: "Let the brothers get ready." ”

"Yes." Guo Zhong immediately took the order and left, and not long after, two kilometers away, Wagang Town resounded with a continuous stream of dense gunfire, interspersed with deafening explosions from time to time.

"Quick, quick, speed up." On the highway one kilometer away from the ambush site of the Northeast Army, the officers of Huang Jie's department, who could already hear the dense gunfire and explosions faintly coming from Wagang Town in front, hurriedly urged his subordinates.

"=Pig=Pig=Island=Novel===Throne, the enemy's marching army is very long, we only need to cut them off at the waist, and we will be able to make them unable to care for each other, and the formation will be in chaos, and it will be easy to defeat them." Behind the dirt slope, Guo Zhong held up a telescope and watched Zhang Xinghandao.

If the opponent was the Japanese army, Zhang Xinghan would not hesitate to order the tank troops to block on both sides and break through in the middle, striving to completely annihilate this army in one fell swoop.

However, they are the national army, the best group of soldiers in China at present, and what they lack is only advanced weaponry and tactical command.

Of course, Zhang Xinghan will not kill them, it is enough to defeat them and destroy their combat power, so that they will not be able to reinforce the Puyang battlefield in a short time.

Therefore, Zhang Xinghan completely followed Guo Zhong's suggestion and immediately ordered the attack.

Infantry from about one regiment plus three guard battalions and reconnaissance battalions opened fire from ambush bunkers on both sides of the road.

The officers and men of the 2nd Division were caught off guard by the sudden attack and ambush of the two tank regiments from the direction of Wagang Town, but their officers still tried to save the situation and directed their subordinates to launch a counterattack charge against the ambush positions on both flanks, but they were hit by intensive fire and failed miserably.

At this time, hundreds of tanks and combat vehicles roared along the road. Countless ordinary soldiers of the 2nd Division were so frightened that they no longer listened to the officers' cheers, and turned around and fled one after another, and the soldiers were defeated.

Huang Jie, who was in the rear of the troops, shouted that he was fooled when the troops were suddenly ambushed, and immediately ordered the rear team of the troops to change to the front team to flee in the direction of Tangyin County, and at the same time ordered the vanguard regiment to block the rear of the palace.

But unfortunately, after his vanguard regiment was ambushed by heavy fire from the Northeast Army, it was charged by a large number of tanks and combat vehicles of the Northeast Army.

By this time the troops had fallen into complete disarray, the infantry could not find officers, and the officers could not organize effective command.

Slow runners. Directly throw away the weapon, kneel on the ground and raise your hands in surrender, run fast, and accelerate to run on the road when you came.

Huang Jie's orders were not carried out at all.

Although Huang Jie's troops are the elite of the Central Army, they are still far from the level of fully mechanized equipment, how can most soldiers outrun the car wheels and tanks of the Northeast Army with their feet?

Half an hour later, two more tank regiments came out of the road and cut off the main force of Huang Jie's 2nd Division into three sections, and at the same time, the Northeast Army troops pursuing behind also arrived.

The main force of the 2nd Division, which was blocked between the two tank regiments, was encircled, and the division commander Huang Jie was also among them.

On the contrary, it was the division headquarters that originally followed behind. The artillery and several other directly subordinate units fell within the encirclement and escaped by chance.

In the face of the siege of 300 No. 4 tank fighting vehicles and thousands of wolves, the main force of the 2nd Division, including the division headquarters, was quickly exhausted, except for a few casualties. Most of them became prisoners of the Northeast Frontier Army.

As the commander of the 2nd Division, Huang Jie took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield and was spared.

Tangyin County, the military headquarters of the 17th Army

After Huang Jie led the troops to set off, Xu Tingyao ordered someone to send electricity to Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng. The 4th and 25th Divisions were urged to come as soon as possible.

Marching overnight, Xu Tingyao stayed awake all night, but she was still in good spirits. This will be thinking about the battle plan around the map.

An adjutant poured him a cup of hot water and brought it over, and said with concern: "Junzao, you haven't closed your eyes all night, are you going to rest?" ”

Xu Tingyao took the hot water, took a sip and said, "No, I'm not tired yet, this Puyang war is urgent, and it should be harder." ”

The adjutant nodded and stepped aside.

Suddenly, there was a rush and chaos of footsteps outside.

Xu Tingyao, who was drinking water, stopped his movements, looked up, and saw two officers of his own side covered in blood and rags running in unkempt.

The two of them were hurrying and stumbling, Xu Tingyao felt bad when she saw it, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Huh? He is the captain of the 2nd Division's baggage team. The adjutant next to him knew one of the lieutenant colonels and asked, "What happened to Captain Wang, why are you here?" ”

The lieutenant colonel captain surnamed Wang came to Xu Tingyao, knelt on the ground with his companion, and said with a crying voice: "Junza, we were ambushed by the Northeast Army, the troops were scattered, and the Shizao was also encircled, and life and death are unknown." ”

"What??" Rao is mentally prepared, Xu Tingyao still couldn't help but be surprised, the 2nd Division was under siege? Even Huang Jie's life and death are unknown? How is this possible.

Xu Tingyao, who was incredulous, immediately asked, "Where were you attacked?" General Huang Jie has experienced a hundred battles, how could he be so careless and fall into the ambush of the Northeast Army? ”

Captain Wang wept bitterly and reported to Xu Tingyao in detail what the 2nd Division had been fooled and ambushed.

After Xu Tingyao listened, her spirit was a little trance, the Northeast Army is really cunning and difficult to deal with.

In addition to being heartbroken, Xu Tingyao suddenly remembered something, and said in confusion: "Our army's secret southern transfer is a top-secret military order, why does the Northeast Army know everything about our whereabouts in advance?" ”

The adjutant next to him also said with a look on his face: "The military seat means that we have a mole inside?" ”

Xu Tingyao nodded and said, "I don't rule out this possibility." ”

"It's hateful, such an important military secret order was easily leaked out, resulting in the annihilation of the 2nd Division, it's really hateful." Xu Tingyao gritted her teeth.

"Junzuo, the 4th Division and the 25th Division have just arrived in Handan, and now that the 2nd Division has been wiped out, it is too dangerous for Junzuo to be here, let's evacuate quickly." The adjutant suddenly became nervous and hurriedly reminded.

You don't have to think about it to know that it is impossible for the 10,000 people of the 2nd Division to be completely wiped out, and there must be many people who surrendered and became prisoners, and these people may sell the news of Xu Tingyao in Tangyin County at any time.

Once he learned that Xu Tingyao's military headquarters was in Tangyin, and there were not many troops around him, the Northeast Army on the opposite side knew what kind of action to take even if he was a fool.

However, the adjutant's reminder was still a step late, and it can also be said that the intelligence of the Secret Bureau of the Northeast Border Guards was one step ahead of them.

Before designing the 2nd Division to ambush Huang Jie, Zhang Xinghan learned important information about Xu Tingyao's military headquarters in Tangyin County through the members of the Secret Bureau hidden in Tangyin.

So ambushing Huang Jie was just one part of his battle plan.

As soon as the adjutant's warning words fell, another officer rushed in from outside with a panicked expression.

Before he could salute, he shouted: "Military seat, no, a large number of tanks of the Northeast Army suddenly appeared outside the city, and we were surrounded." ”

"What?" Xu Tingyao's shocked hand water cup fell to the ground with a bang, the ceramic iron jar slammed, and the outer layer of enamel paint shattered to the ground.

The adjutant was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked the visitor: "How many enemies are there?" Why didn't we have a guard post outside the city to warn you in advance? He let the enemy come to the city like this. ”

The person who came said with a gloomy face: "Several guard posts are estimated to have been killed by the Northeast Army, otherwise it would be impossible not to find out at all." ”

The adjutant's face turned pale, and he asked Xu Tingyao instead: "Junzao, what should we do?" Do you hurry up and order reinforcements from the 4th and 25th Divisions? ”

Xu Tingyao fell into silence, as an old fritter who had experienced a hundred battles, Xu Tingyao of course wanted Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng to rush to reinforcements immediately.

But there are two difficult problems in front of him at the moment, the first is whether Zhang Xinghan will repeat his old tricks, use his Xu Tingyao's military headquarters as bait, besiege but not attack, and induce himself to urge the 4th Division and the 25th Division to rush to reinforcements, but set up an ambush in the middle to eat the last of the two 17th Army.

Second, even if he ordered Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng to immediately go south for reinforcements, would he be able to withstand the fierce attacks of the Northeast Army like a tide with only this guard battalion around him and a thousand people from the Tangyin County Security Team, and hold on until the reinforcements arrived?

These two points, Xu Tingyao Rongma all his life, he thought of it in an instant.

But now he is in a dilemma, don't let the 4th Division and the 25th Division come to reinforce it, although he can avoid the danger of being ambushed, but he Xu Tingyao himself is in danger.

Whether he was captured or committed suicide, Xu Tingyao was unwilling to face it, in the final analysis, he was also a person, not a god, he was also afraid of death, and he didn't want to be a prisoner of Zhang Xinghan, which was not only about his dignity as a soldier, but also about his future reputation in the future.

He has followed Chairman Chiang for many years, and he knows very well that although Chairman Chiang likes capable loyal ministers and good generals, he is also extremely suspicious.

It is not difficult to imagine that once he is captured, it will never be so easy to obtain such a high level of respect from Chairman Chiang in the future.

Seeing that Xu Tingyao was silent, the adjutant was so anxious that he walked back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, and urged: "Junzao, don't hesitate, hurry up and order Tang Enbo and General Guan Linzheng to reinforce quickly, no matter what, the military seat is the head of the three armies, and your safety is more important than anything else." ”

Xu Tingyao, who was in a dilemma, didn't realize one thing, that is, what his adjutant said, he was the commander of the 17th Army and the head of the three armies.

Even if he didn't let Tang Enbo, Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming and others take the risk to save themselves, then once he was captured or killed, it would inevitably deal a serious blow to the morale of the other units of the entire 17th Army.

The dragons have no leader, and they are afraid of the Northeast Army, and Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng, who do not know the truth and reality, are likely to adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

Therefore, the result of this battle, from the moment Zhang Xinghan led his troops to surround Xu Tingyao, was already doomed, and Zhang Xinghan solved the possible interference of the 17th Army with his own battle plan, and there was no need to worry about the future. (To be continued......)
