Liu Zhiyuan had a bullish temper for a while: "The eldest husband is full of words, spit on the ground and smash a pit, why don't you fight!" ”

Hou Dashan smiled evilly, and also wanted to see the jokes of the two people, and said, "Okay, I'll be this witness."

"Alright, let's go into town!" Han Xing issued another order to Zhang Xiaosan, "All of you get on the bus and enter the new county seat." ”

The two cars were full of people, and Han Xing led these horses and horses to drive over the Luhe Bridge first. The car full of people, no matter what, it weighed five or six tons, and the car drove very slowly on the bridge, swaying and swaying, and the bridge deck trembled vigorously, Han Xingzhen was still worried.

Han Xing asked: "Commander Hou, can our tanks cross this bridge?" ”

Hou Dashan thought for a while and said: "The carrying capacity of this bridge deck is 10 tons at most, while our tank is 15 tons, that is, tank vehicles cannot cross this bridge." As for the devil's bean chariots, because they are light tanks, that is, they weigh 2 tons, so they can cross this bridge. ”

Han Xing nodded, and said in his heart, this tactic can only be half-crossed, if the enemy retreats, then the tank cannot cross this bridge to pursue.

From this Luhe Bridge to Fengxin County, there is about three miles of appearance. In this place, there are some grass houses in the sparse land. Han Xing had a plan in his heart, silently thinking about some details of this strategy.

Outside the city of Nanguan, there were some national officers and soldiers wearing yellow uniforms standing guard, and Han Xing knew that this was the defense area of the 49th Army, and they were temporarily responsible for the defense of this area.

The predecessor of the army was the guard unit of the Northeast Army. In June 1928, after Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese army in the Huanggutun Incident, Zhang Xueliang became the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Security. After the "918 Incident", Zhang Xueliang expanded and reorganized the guard units of the 3rd and 4th Front Armies of the Northeast Army and Zhang Zuolin's guard regiment into the 105th Division, with Zhang Xueliang as the division commander and Liu Duoquan as the deputy division commander.

The division has 3 brigades and 9 regiments. In 1933, after Zhang Xueliang went into the wilderness, Liu Duoquan was promoted to division commander. In 1936, the 105th Division cooperated with the 67th Army of the National Revolutionary Army to defend Nakcheon and reached a peace agreement with the Red Army. During the Xi'an Incident, the 105th Division participated in the capture of Chiang in Lintong, as well as in the operation to block the Central Army at the Wei River.

In February 1937, the Nationalist Government expanded the 49th Army with the 105th Division as the backbone, which was subordinate to the Henan-Anhui Appeasement Office, and moved from Shaanxi to Nanyang, Henan. Liu Duoquan served as the army commander, and Dong Yanping, deputy army commander, under the jurisdiction of: the 105th Division, Liu Duoquan concurrently served as the division commander, and had jurisdiction over two brigades of Wang Jinglie and Ying Honglun; The 109th Division, with He Kui as the division commander, has jurisdiction over two brigades, Zhao Zhenfan and Ge Yanchun.

In August of the same year, the Japanese army invaded south along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, and the army was ordered to enter Cangxian and Jinghai to prepare to defend against the enemy. In late August, the 10th Infantry Wing of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army began to attack Jinghai and Cangxian. The army resisted with heavy casualties and was forced to retreat south from the North China Battlefield.

At this time, the Battle of Songhu was underway, and the army was ordered to rush to the Shanghai battlefield for reinforcements on the way to the south. At the end of October, after the army entered the Shanghai battlefield, it immediately engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese army at Xujiaqiao, Jiebei Bridge, Fengjing, Dachang, Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway and other places.

In this battle, Gu Huiquan, the commander of the 626th Regiment of the 105th Division, was killed, and more than half of the casualties were lost; In the two days and nights of fierce fighting of the 109th Division to block the Japanese army attacking north on the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway, four regiment commanders and three people were killed, and most of the soldiers died.

In September 1938, the army was subordinate to the 32nd Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army and participated in the Battle of Wuhan. In 1939, the army was reorganized when it was subordinate to the 19th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army. At this time, the army was under the jurisdiction of: the 105th Division, division commander Wang Tiehan; 118th Division (newly formed), division commander Zhang Yantian; Prepare the 9th Division, division commander Zhang Yanchuan. The original 109th Division was reassigned to the 90th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. After this reorganization, the army participated in the Battle of Nanchang and was responsible for guarding a large area of Fengxin, Guxian, Jing'an, and Anyi, and was actually the left wing of the Battle of Nanchang.

Before entering the county seat, Han Xing first looked at the city wall of Fengxin County. Its city walls are brick and earth structures, that is to say, some are bricks and soil, that is to say, the outside is brick, the inside is earth, and some of the city walls are directly earth.

Such a wall, in the face of modern artillery and tanks, is completely vulnerable.

At the south gate, the guards of the 49th Army crossed and waved small red flags back and forth. Han Xing's two cars had to stop, and Han Xing also got out of the car. The guards of the 49th Army asked Zhang Xiaosan: "What part are you from, please show your documents?" ”

Zhang Xiaosan said: "We are the team of the Southern Expeditionary Army. And showed the relevant documents. The guard reviewed the papers, then waved his hand behind him, meaning to let him go.

But Han Xing went up and said to him, "I want to see your commander and have something to say to him." ”

At this time, a man who looked like a chief came up and said, "Please tell me what is the matter!" ”

Han Xing said to him directly: "I am Han Xing, the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and I want to see your Liu Duoquan military seat, please contact me." ”

The officer looked at Han Xing so lightly, looked at him with a little disbelief, and said, "You are the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army......

Liu Zhiyuan was a little impatient, and went up to yell at him: "Is there any fake commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army?" Go and contact your Commander Liu and say that our commander wants to see him. ”

The junior officer of the 49th Army couldn't figure out how big this commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army was, so he had to call and contact him. After a while, he came back in fear and said, "Coincidentally, our military commander has heard of your name a long time ago, and he is serving a new one. Please hurry over here, and I'll show you the way. ”

After saying that, the little officer sat in the cab in front of the car and led Han Xing and them to the headquarters of the 49th Army.

Why did Han Xing have to see this Liu Duoquan, because Liu Duoquan was a celebrity who served as the commander-in-chief of the capture of Jiang in the Xi'an Incident. A few days ago, Xue Yue led the commanders to greet Han Xing, and it happened that Liu Duoquan was not there.

Han Xing was extremely curious, and he had to meet the commander-in-chief who captured Chiang.

When they arrived at the headquarters of the 49th Army, Zhang Xiaosan, Hou Dashan, and Liu Zhiyuan stayed in front, and this small officer led Han Xing directly to the backyard to see Liu Duoquan.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Liu Duoquan smiled all the way and ran to greet Han Xing. He stretched out a hand from afar, and said with a smile: "I said that when I got up in the morning, the magpies chirped, and it turned out that a distinguished guest had come." I can't imagine that Commander Han is so young, I am really shining here! Welcome, welcome! ”

Han Xing shook his hand while greeting him while looking at his appearance. This person is about forty years old, tall, dressed in military uniform, duck egg face, slightly bald forehead, phoenix eyes, thick eyebrows, broad nose, small mouth, and a black beard on his lips. At first glance, he is a typical Northeast man, dare to speak, dare to be, and dare to laugh.

Han Xing smiled and said to him: "Commander Liu, you can be said to have made a miraculous contribution in the Xi'an incident!" ”

Han Xing said that he had made miraculous achievements, one was to capture Jiang, and the other was his efforts in shooting Wang Yizhe after the Xi'an Incident.

In fact, Liu Duoquan is the most taboo for others to mention this matter. He blushed at Han Xing, waved his hand and said, "Twine wears tofu, don't mention it, don't mention it!" I still deeply admire General Han, who is so young, and the last time he led the Southern Expeditionary Army was a miracle feat. This time, I heard that I personally led the mechanized troops over, and I must have shown my might, even our regular troops did not have such good equipment! ”

In this way, the officialdom is touting each other, and in the touting, they also complete the so-called respect that each party thinks for each other.

When the politeness is over, it's time to get to the point.

Han Xing was thinking about the wording, and said: "Your 49th Army is really not simple, guarding such a large area, and the troops are scattered again, the task is really heavy enough." If we are asked to abide by the law like this, we will never be able to keep it. ”

Liu Duoquan looked at Han Xing and smiled, and said, "Are you complimenting me, why do I think you're slapping me in the face!" Hey--there is no way, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, even Commander Xue and Commander Luo are fighting in this way, what can I do? ”

Han Xing asked again: "If the Japanese army really attacks from your defensive area, do you think they can hold it?" ”

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it, this is a death order from above." Liu Duoquan said firmly: "Even if the troops are all gone, they will die on this position." ”

Han Xing guided him: "Can Commander Liu change his way of thinking, not only to hold this place, but also to defeat the Japanese army, and the casualties of the troops must not be too large." ”

"Is there such a good thing?" Liu Duoquan asked tentatively, "Can you tell me about your battle plan?" ”

Han Xing's mind was spinning rapidly, how could he say military secrets casually, even if he said them, Liu Duoquan would not necessarily listen to him. Han Xing could only say: "I can only think of a plan now, and this plan is not yet mature." The general principle is to shrink all forces, form a fist, concentrate near Fengxin County, and beat him severely as long as the Japanese army dares to attack from here. ”

Liu Duoquan thought for a while and said: "I also want to fight like this, but the above will not agree, they will say that I will retreat from the battle and save my strength." I can only establish such a defensive front, and as long as the Japanese army dares to attack, I will block it step by step. ”

Han Xingxin said, as expected, Liu Duoquan has experienced too many risks, and he is no longer willing to take this risk. Han Xing smiled and said, "I'm just talking, of course the big idea has to be taken by Commander Liu." The operational policy of our Southern Expeditionary Army is to be independent and self-reliant, if we help Commander Liu fight this battle, will Commander Liu be willing? ”

As soon as I heard that, the Southern Expeditionary Army was going to help them defend this front. Liu Duoquan thought to himself, the Japanese army's weapons were so powerful, and he really didn't have much confidence in defending this front. I heard that the Southern Expeditionary Army is very powerful, and they came to help them fight, so how could they not welcome it.

He hurriedly smiled and took Han Xing's hand and said, "I was not embarrassed to say it just now, so I wanted to ask the Southern Expeditionary Army to help us." If the Southern Expeditionary Army is our strong backing, our 49th Army will still be afraid of anything, and we will not be afraid of anything. Tell me, what are your requirements? ”

The officials have all become old fritters. When people come to help you, they must have something to ask for, even if you do a small business, you have to build some capital, Liu Duoquan thought.

Han Xing then said: "We have to have a place to live when we drive here." I think it's good outside Nanguan, there are not many houses there, and there are just a lot of troops. We'll just set up a few huts and build a few huts there, and we'll just live there. ”
