Section 51 Meetings

Dai Xiaodian squeezed Shang Zhen into embarrassment with a few words, and the eyes of everyone in the room who looked at him became a little strange: "What a little cub, you really don't eat!" ’

Tong Linge was worried that he would say something inappropriate again, which would make a cadre of senior citizens in the army angry, gave Zhao Dengyu a look, and walked out with him. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Tong Linge snorted and said with a smile: "This little guy, relying on his own military merits, has no one in the price list every day!" Speaking of which, I'm almost mad at him. If it weren't for the fact that he always had a little use, he would have found a reason to drive him out. ”

He said words of reprimand, but the doting in his eyes was clear at a glance, everyone here was a human spirit, and who couldn't see his thoughts? Xu Yongchang said with a smile: "Jiesan, you can't help but take everyone here as your own." Now who doesn't know that in addition to you, the head of the First Army, Shuzhiyun is the most valued? To say that he is your first favorite general, is it not false? ”

Tong Linge sneered, and sat down next to Xu Yongchang, "Cichen, Long Shuai (referring to Yan Xishan, his name is Longchi), it's not that Lin Ge boasts, he has been in the army for thirty years, if you talk about talents, you have also promoted a few, but if you want to say that the best among them, it must be Zhiyun!" ”

"It's just that killing a few devils on the battlefield is worth your approval?" Yan Xishan laughed and said, "Jiesan, your vision is too low, right?" ”

"Long Shuai, you can't say that, if Zhiyun really only has a bloody and brave spirit, how can I attach so much importance to it? Zhiyun is a young person, but he has a splendid chest, and he is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he is like a god. ”

Lin Wei had been listening to the sidelines, and couldn't help but stroke his palms and laugh at this time: "Jiesan, what you are talking about is not Dai's, I hear it, it seems that you are talking about Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms!" ”

There was a burst of laughter in the room, but Tong Linge was a little embarrassed, and glanced at Lin Wei with some dissatisfaction, "Weiwen's words are not right, you may not know that in the battle in Jinghai that day, because Zhiyun expected the enemy to plan first, and if the command was determined, he could bring the tens of thousands of soldiers of the 29th Army out of the periphery of Tianjin safely." This time, the ...... for the preparation of the theater plan "

Yan Xishan waved his hand and said, "Jiesan, I was just about to ask you, what kind of plan is this, have you ever seen it?" ”

This is a sentence from the sword, Tong Linge was interrupted for no reason, and nodded helplessly: "Yes, brother has seen it." ”

"Now that you've seen it, can't you see the loopholes in it with your knowledge and literacy?" Yan Xishan's qualifications are too old, even if he is facing Tong Lin Pavilion, he doesn't have to be polite when he speaks, "This time, the plan is completely based on Qingxian as the main battlefield, isn't it?" ”

"This, yes."

"Qingxian is located in the North China Plain, and it has already lost its geographical advantage by nature, in the face of the Japanese army's aircraft, artillery, tanks and combat vehicles, do you still plan to rely on the flesh and blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the group army to compete?" Yan Xishan's words are given, no problem, with a bit of Shanxi vinegar in the tone, it sounds sour, but the words and sentences do not have the slightest softness, but give people a sense of hitting the nail on the head.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In addition, in the face of the encirclement and attack of the Japanese army, the front-line vitality of the group army is all supported by friendly forces on the Pinghan line, but is it? ”

"This, yes."

"Then why do you think that the friendly forces can unfold according to the plan and complete the counter-encirclement of the Japanese army in front?" Yan Xishan said: "I think I am a little clever, so I dare to point fingers at military affairs? It's not worth it! ”

Tong Linge felt embarrassed, and was a little dissatisfied in his heart, even if you are famous and qualified, I, Tong someone, am not a recruit who joined the army on the first day, why be so ruthless?

Xu Yongchang sat on the side, seeing that Tong Linge's face was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Baichuan, Jiesan and Zhiyun put forward such a plan in order to be able to take the initiative in the battle against Japan, and to eliminate more Japanese invaders. Why should you be angry? Besides, isn't it precisely for the purpose of brainstorming and filling in the gaps that the commanders of the war zone have been summoned to gather wisdom! ”

Xu Yongchang is the only person who can call him among the people present, and now he is endorsing Tong Linge in public, Yan Xishan is not good at not giving face, he laughed a few times, and clenched his fists in vain: "Jie San, the old man's tone is impatient, please forgive Commander Tong." ”

Tong Linge hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile: "Where, where." Long Shuai is a senior in the army, well-informed, can you give advice, Lin Ge is grateful and grateful, how dare you have a grudge heart? ”

A few people laughed a few words, and a man who looked like an adjutant approached Lin Wei and whispered a few words; Lin Wei nodded, "Elder Yan, Ci Chen, it's time, let's go in." ”

Xu Yongchang didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly got up, and beckoned everyone into the conference room, inside was a large square table, the table was spotless, only a dozen white porcelain teacups were placed, and sundries such as ashtrays and water bottles were all owed - everyone knew that Lao Jiang not only did not smoke, but he couldn't even smell the smell of cigarettes, so all those who had body odor because of smoking were arranged far away.

Xu Yongchang and Yan Xishan occupied the two chairs next to the chairman's seat, sitting upright like kindergarten children. After a short time, the adjutant standing at the door sang a promise: "The chairman has arrived!" ”

There was a sound of clothes fluttering in the room, and everyone stood up and saluted the door. With the sound of footsteps, Lao Jiang walked slowly into the conference room, sat down at the chairman's position without saying a word, and waved his hand, "Sit, sit." ”

Everyone returned to their seats, and an adjutant stepped forward lightly, took out a transparent glass and put it in front of Lao Jiang, poured a cup of hot water, and quietly withdrew as when he came. Lao Jiang's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and a smile appeared on his green face: "Brother Baichuan, I haven't seen you for many days, are you still healthy?" This time, Zhongzheng came in a hurry, and urgently invited you from Taiyuan, is the road still smooth? ”

"Thank you for the appointment, I'm fine. It's a commission, now that the Japanese are rampant, you are the most important party and the state, but you have to take care of your body. ”

The two of them seemed to be completely unable to hear the deep meaning of each other's words, and the guests and hosts smiled and smiled, and they were harmonious. If you don't know the history between two people, I'm afraid you will really feel moved by this harmonious atmosphere and the tone of mutual concern!

Lao Jiang nodded to Yan Xishan, reluctantly suppressed the hatred and disgust for this guy in front of him, as well as Zhang Mou, who was far away on the front line of Songhu, looked around again, and said: "Zhongzheng is here to Baoding, there is only one ......purpose" He stretched out his right index finger, representing a deliberately strengthened tone: "It is to express sincere tribute to those soldiers of our army who have bravely fought against the Japanese invaders on various battlefields in North China since the July 7 Incident!" General Jiesan. ”

Tong Linge didn't want him to be named in public, so he hurriedly stood up and stood facing him: "Yes!" ”

"You and the 29th Army under your command inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army in the battle of Lugou Bridge, in the battle of Nanyuan, in Huangcun, Tuanhe, in Zhangwo Station, in Liangwangzhuang, in the siege of Jingwai in Tianjin, and even in the battle of Nanfu Zhaozhen, and played the morale of our army and the prestige of our China!"

Lao Jiang's speed of speech is very slow, but a dialect with a strong southern accent still makes many northern generals feel puzzled, even if it is Tong Linge, he stands up straight, and makes a respectful demeanor, but what Lao Jiang said, can only understand three or four percent of it, but on such occasions, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, attitude is everything. Seeing that he was finished, Tong Linge pulled his already straight chest up a little more, and said loudly: "Thank you for the commission!" With a word of praise, our First Group Army is honored by Huagon! Our group army must take the words of exhortation of the committee as the guideline, uphold the determination to be loyal to the party and the state, and have the courage to clench its fists and palms to fight the Japanese invaders to the end! ”

Tong Linge used an allusion in his words, that is, he clenched his fists and palms and said "The Book of Jin? Bian Yan Biography", he was a person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when there was a rebellion called Su Jun, Bian Yan (sound bundle) led the troops to quell the rebellion, and died in battle, and then someone dug Bian Yan's grave, and saw that his face was like life, his hands were clenched into fists, and his nails penetrated the back of his hands - later people used it to describe the enemy's gnashing teeth and hatred, and also made fists through claws.

Lao Jiang read poetry and books, so he naturally understood, nodded to him with a smile, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "Next, I will ask Minister Qiao Feng to do a review of ammunition and equipment." ”

Qiao Feng refers to Yu Feipeng, he is Lao Jiang's fellow countryman, or his cousin, once studied at the Beiping Military Quartermaster School, and later entered the Whampoa Military Academy, always engaged in military work, over the years, followed by Lao Jiang's side, deeply trusted, Lao Jiang also relied on him a lot. At the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the government set up a base camp with eight departments, and Yu Feipeng served as the seventh department, that is, the head of the rear service department. This time he went north, and he followed.

Yu Feipeng has a fair complexion and a huge nose, which is particularly conspicuous. His official language was much better than that of Lao Jiang, and he nodded to everyone present and talked eloquently: "...... As of 15 August, a total of 500 million rounds of machine rifle ammunition were in stock, 300 million rounds were in stock, and 200 million rounds were distributed among various units, including 60 million rounds of ammunition on the north bank of the Yangtze River, 40 million rounds in Wuchang, and 100 million rounds in Nanjing. ”

Listening to the numbers in Yu Feipeng's newspaper, the figure of 500 million rounds must be empty, but it will not be too different, and even if this number is true, it will not make people feel down, after all, although the absolute number of 500 million rounds is a lot, but it is evenly distributed to the troops, how much is per capita?

Yu Feipeng continued: "According to the statistics of the base camp, there are 500,000 rounds of ammunition for infantry artillery, 30 million rounds of 3.7 tank shells, 120,000 rounds of artillery shells for mountain and Bofors mountains, and 100,000 rounds of Krupp shells. The above is calculated based on 20 divisions, which can be used for three months. The base camp is ready to transport across the Yellow River and disperse the storage. ”

A low voice suddenly sounded from the crowd: "What's the use of just having a cannonball?" You can't let the brothers carry the cannonballs and fight with the devils, right? ”

Tong Linge knew in his ears that it was Zhao Dengyu's voice! Although he is now also the commander of an army, on an occasion like today, he is still not qualified to sit at the long table, but like Li Mo'an, Lu Ji, Zhu Hongxun, Feng Zhanhai and others, he sits around and attends the meeting as an observer.

Tong Linge glared at Zhao Dengyu viciously, but Zhao Dengyu was not afraid at all, and muttered a few words, only the people closest to him could hear it: "What I said is the truth!" ”

Yu Feipeng didn't hear Zhao Dengyu's complaints, and continued: "In addition, there are three million gallons of gasoline and two and a half million gallons of flying gasoline. For 500,000 people and 100,000 horses to eat a month's worth of grain, the base camp is ready to buy another two months' base of grain and straw, and transport it across the Yellow River to disperse the storage. ”

Yu Feipeng finished reading it quickly, standing in place dryly; Tong Linge and Shang Zhen exchanged a few looks, and they were a little helpless: The country's family background is really ...... I can't take it!

In fact, the Chinese army that has received German-style equipment and German adviser training has a total of seven integrated divisions, including the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 14th, 36th, 87th, and 88th integrated divisions, as well as the tax police regiment of irregular troops.

These troops were reorganized and reorganized, and the leaders were all the hardcore descendants of Lao Chiang, and some or all of the troops were equipped with German-style weapons, which could be called the most modern army in China before 1937; Acted as a mainstay. In terms of specific equipment, light and heavy weapons, long and short combinations, mainly medium formal or Mauser 1924 type, and a 7.63 mm Mauser M1932 pistol - that is, the famous barge gun; However, unlike many troops that produce domestically, in repair shops, and even in private workshops, German mechanics use original imported German goods, and from this point alone, the vast majority of lowbs are too strong.

In terms of heavy firepower, the German armament division also far surpassed its peers, with each infantry battalion equipped with 6 Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns, which were fed with 250 canvas cartridges; The light machine gun is a domestically produced imitation of the Czech ZB26 type; A small number of French and Belgian light machine guns were also distributed to the troops on the basis of one per squad.

Finally, there was artillery, which was equipped only to the 36th, 87th, and 88th divisions, each with an artillery battalion, plus one anti-aircraft artillery company and one anti-aircraft artillery company; The artillery battalion was armed with 12 German-made 75-mm Krupp mountain guns (or equivalent, Bofors mountain guns); The anti-aircraft artillery company has a German-made 37 mm Pak35 anti-aircraft gun; The anti-aircraft artillery company had 6 20-mm anti-aircraft guns.

In addition, under the strong advice of German advisers, the Chinese army was even equipped with a radio communication platoon, equipped with a 15-watt radio station, and below was a communication squad equipped with a 5-watt radio station, forming a two-level communication system.

The equipment of the German armament division is of course not the same as that of the regular German army, but in the combat system of the Chinese army, which is seriously lacking in resources, it is the number one in the sky! In particular, various types of light and heavy artillery were equipped with only three divisions, and the other fraternal units could only sigh at hope; As for the other miscellaneous troops, they can't even get a chance to touch this 'legendary weapon'!

The German division was created as a seed unit, and according to the German/military advisers, this unit was primarily a demonstration force, and at the same time cultivated a backbone with a view to filling other units in the futureβ€”like the grain grown in a peasant's homeβ€”which theoretically could not be used in actual combat.

The Songhu battlefield began, and Lao Jiang had to endure sending two German armament divisions to the line of fire (at the beginning of the war, the 36th Division was still in Xi'an, responsible for clearing the rebellion of the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army after the Xi'an Incident), causing very serious casualties! Huang Meixing, one of the old Jiang Ai generals, a student of the first phase of Huangpu, and the commander of the 264th Brigade of the 88th Division, was martyred on the first day of the official start of the battle!

Lao Jiang coughed dryly, attracted everyone's attention, nodded to Yu Feipeng, and motioned for him to continue: "The situation of the Anti-Japanese War is in full swing, especially the distribution and use of various military supplies, which is even more difficult; Fortunately, after the approval of the chairman of the committee, 10 imitation French 81-mm Brown mortars, 12 20-mm 82-mm mortars, and 12 20-mm Sorotong machine guns were specially allocated for use by the 10th Division. β€β€œ

Tong Linge couldn't help but open his mouth wide, he really didn't expect that these people in Nanjing would be so shameless! The 10th Division is Li Mo'an's troops, subordinate to Wei Lihuang's 14th Group Army, these two people are Huangpu Sheng, the Jiang family descendants of the Red Miao Zheng - I can't imagine that the situation has developed to the present, and the old Jiang has not forgotten the party and the difference, which is really cold!

Lao Jiang also knew that he was not playing very beautifully, but at the moment, the casualties of the three German armorers in the Songhu battlefield were very tragic, if he could not retain some roots, not to mention whether he could defeat the Japanese invaders, even if he was defeated, what would he use to deal with the ill-intentioned forces? Therefore, knowing that Tong Linge, Shang Zhen and others would scold the street after they went down, they couldn't care about it now.

He held the table with his hand, got up slowly, looked solemn, and said: "Today, here, Zhongzheng is honored to commend ......"

Tong Linge was stunned for a moment, his heart was anxious, listening to Lao Jiang's tone, he was about to hold a commendation and award ceremony here? He didn't think much about it, and stood up in a panic: "Take a seat!" ”

Lao Jiang was interrupted by him, and he didn't like it very much, "General Jiesan, but is there something?" ”

"Yes." Tong Linge knew that he was reckless, but now he couldn't help but retreat, and said respectfully: "Bench, please forgive Linge for being rude, but...... As for the operational plan of the First Theater of Operations, can it be tolerated...... Well, allow Brigadier Dai to make a statement or two to the commission? ”

Lao Jiang really forgot about this matter, and was about to nod, Shang Zhen said on the side: "Jiesan, the plan was drawn up by the Military Commission and personally reviewed by the commission, is there any need for that Raush Zidai brigade commander to make a statement?" Or do you think that the plan that Brigadier Dai can come up with is more clever than the kings in the base camp? ”

Shang Zhen's words were very vicious, and Tong Linge immediately fell into a dilemma, and it was even more inappropriate to admit that it was not and deny it; Fortunately, Lao Jiang quickly made a decision and sat down again: "Okay, it's okay to listen." ”

There is something to do today, and there is only one verse. (To be continued.) )
