Chapter 222: Nanchang
"Ahh Didn't the special operations team attack the Japanese command this time? Gao Zhisong continued to ask. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hehe, Chief of Staff, you have always been shrewd, how can you ask such an idiotic question this time, the enemy's three divisions are there, and I will attack their headquarters? Are you kidding! ”
"Actually, I also think it's strange, but other than that, I can't figure out how your two divisions can hold Nanchang for a month." Gao Zhisong smiled awkwardly.
"Well! In the future, you will naturally know, go to inform Sun Feixing and the female soldiers of the special combat team, and immediately set off, as soon as the news is leaked, the plane will not be able to sit, early tomorrow morning, the devil's plane will definitely wait for Lao Tzu in the sky, Lao Tzu's life is precious, and he can't afford to disintegrate in the air. ”
"Haha, hehe!"
Three days later, in the morning, at more than ten o'clock, Zhang Cheng took six special combat team members, Sun Feixing took the special combat team members, drove two transport vehicles, and directly entered Xue Yue's Nanchang headquarters compound, Xue Yue personally led the team out to greet him, Hu Rongda took Zhang Sandong and Dong Yeyang, and they were actually in the team to greet them, because the plane was grounded, Hu Rongda also drove off overnight, and the journey was nearly 100 kilometers longer than Zhang Cheng and them, so they arrived first.
"Report to the commander, Zhang Cheng, the commander of the new First Army, was ordered to come and report, please instruct!" As soon as he saw Xue Yue, Zhang Cheng immediately stepped forward and saluted. On the one hand, it is a real relationship between superiors and subordinates, on the other hand, it is also Zhang Cheng's sincere admiration for Xue Yue, in the historical records of later generations, Xue Yue's command of Wanjialing's victory, four battles of Changsha, annihilation of countless enemies, all of which make the enemy frightened, is an out-and-out anti-Japanese general, worthy of Zhang Cheng's respect.
"Brother Zhang Cheng! We don't have to be so polite, I can't give you time to rest when you just arrived, let's go, go to the command and say. Xue Yue made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Cheng as he spoke, although it was just a polite gesture, but for Xue Yue, the commander of the corps who had a vision above all else, it was rare to be so courteous to his subordinates.
Before entering the command headquarters, Zhang Cheng glanced at Zhao Ziqing, and Zhao Ziqing immediately ordered the special combat team to wait outside, of course she understood what Zhang Cheng meant, because of Liu Xian's identity, she could not be allowed to access more secrets.
A few flower-like girls stood at the door with their chests upright, which immediately attracted countless admiring eyes, and even Xue Yue couldn't help but look at it twice, and then exaggerated it into a good fortune.
Zhang Cheng was embarrassed to say haha, this question is really difficult to answer, if you want to say that this is not a blessing, who believes it? If you want to say that this is a blessing, he doesn't believe it himself!
As soon as he entered the headquarters, Xue Yue introduced the deputy division commanders and brigade commanders of the two divisions prepared for Zhang Cheng. Because considering that Zhang Cheng can fully control these two divisions, the division commander has been transferred. The former 73rd Army had two brigades, each with two regiments, and 14,000 men according to the establishment of the A Division. Deputy division commander Zhao Leren, chief of staff Han Fei, and two brigade commanders are Shen Yuanri and Xiao Jian.
The original 74th Army had two brigades, each with two regiments and 14,000 men according to the establishment of the first division. Deputy division commander Zhang Dabiao, chief of staff Tong Fulin, and two brigade commanders are Li Zhihua and Wang Changlin.
At the same time, Xue Yue also told Zhang Cheng that he had asked the chairman of the committee for instructions, and the two divisions were directly transferred to Zhang Cheng's command.
Zhang Cheng didn't care, he valued these two divisions more, if Xue Yue didn't fight any ambush, it was indeed two elite divisions in a hundred battles.
After getting to know each other, Zhang Cheng did not twist, and directly ordered the original 73rd Army to be temporarily incorporated into the 3rd Division of the New 1st Army, and the division commander Hu Rongda. The original 74th Army was incorporated into the 6th Division of the New First Army, and the division commander was Dong Yeyang. Officers above the regimental level remained unchanged, and all military commanders below the regimental level, including the regimental commander, were demoted to deputy positions, and 200 officers brought by Zhang Cheng served as military commanders. And repeatedly reiterated that this is not to control the troops, to seize everyone's power, but to better and more thoroughly carry out their own orders, because most of the people they brought are veterans who came out of Nanjing, and they know their own combat style very well, and they can also thoroughly understand their own intentions, and their ultimate goal is to reduce casualties and strive for the greatest victory. If you have any doubts about this order, please leave the army for half an hour, it is not considered a deserter, and after half an hour, if there is a person who disobeys the order, there will be no forgiveness!
Then, Zhang Cheng ordered everyone to go back immediately to regroup their troops, and come to the headquarters an hour later to receive orders.
Watching everyone leave, Xue Yue smiled, on the one hand, he praised Zhang Cheng's demeanor as a promising general, he was simple and decisive in doing things, and he would never drag the mud and water, and on the other hand, he was sinister and vicious, and the whole army like him would be killed by Zhang Cheng even if they were not destroyed by the devils in a month, and Zhang Cheng would eat all the bones left.
Xue Yue's words not only did not make Zhang Cheng feel embarrassed, but he opened his mouth and said that Xue Yue was a child, and he not only brought all the backbones of the family over, but also emptied half of the weapons and ammunition at home, for what? It's not that you can pay the difference above, but also the difference below, you can call it selfless dedication, just these two remnant divisions, it's really not in your eyes.
Xue Yue pretended to be angry and scolded Zhang Cheng for being cheap and behaved, and then said that as long as Zhang Cheng's battle was fought, he would eat it himself, and he was more concerned about how Zhang Cheng was going to defend Nanchang, and then told him the current situation of the enemy and us.
After the Japanese army captured Yongxiu, it did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, and opened the road with more than 100 chariots in the early hours of this morning and began to advance towards Nanchang, but did not directly attack Nanchang from the Nanxun line as Zhang Cheng thought, but advanced in the direction of Jing'an and Fengxin, and it is estimated that it will arrive at Jing'an and Fengxin in one day. Our army deployed a total of six divisions in the two places, but the city was not strong, the artillery was unfavorable, and in the face of the Japanese army's tanks, aircraft, and the strength of the three divisions, I was afraid that it would not be able to hold on for long.
Zhang Cheng frowned, thought about it for a while, and said: "It is reasonable for the Japanese army to take Jing'an and Fengxin first, from Yongxiu to Nanchang more than 200 kilometers, with the speed of the Japanese army's chariots, it can approach the city of Nanchang in two days." But in this way, their battle line will be stretched too long, and the mechanized troops and mule-horse logistics will make their fuel simply unable to keep up, and at the same time, they must also worry that our army will flank their baggage and cut off their supply lines. From Yongxiu to Fengxin, the distance is about 120 kilometers, and the Japanese army's chariots can easily arrive in one day, if they occupy Fengxin, Fengxin as an advance base, and then advance to Nanchang, it will only take one day, so that they will have no worries, and at the same time, they can also divide the troops into two routes, all the way to attack Nanchang, all the way to Gao'an, cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway, and also cut off all foreign aid and retreat routes in Nanchang, forming an encirclement of Nanchang. At that time, Nanchang may be self-defeating. ”
"Hmmm! It makes sense, so how do you say to break this game? ”
"One word 'retreat'!"
"Retreat? How to return? Do you want me to abandon Nanchang? Xue Yue suddenly looked angry.
Zhang Chengle said: "If you don't retreat, you can't do it!" If the enemy's three divisions are approaching the city, you can't hold any place, and the only way is to retreat, induce the enemy to divide his troops, and shift the focus to the frontal attack in Nanchang. ”
