As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the phone in the headquarters suddenly rang rapidly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Adjutant Chen hurriedly walked over and picked it up, and after a few simple words, his face immediately became extremely excited.

Put down the phone and turned his head to Cun Xingqi and Wang Dafei and the others: "Brigade seat, Commander Wang, reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived, and the three divisions of the Central Army have arrived."

In addition, General Zhang Lingfu, who was in charge of taking over the commander-in-chief of the Nu River defense line, also informed us to prepare for a counterattack.

As soon as the troops are assembled, immediately cross the river and launch a large-scale counterattack against the Anglo-American forces to drive them out of the country!

However, before that, he asked us to hold the two bridgeheads on the west coast of Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain, and we must not afford to lose! ”

Cun Xingqi, Wang Dafei and the others were all surprised when they heard this, and then they saw the resoluteness of sticking to the end in their eyes.

…………

Nanjing, War Hall of the Military Commission.

Zhang Xinghan was discussing with Jiang Baili a possible large-scale naval and air battle, and discussed all kinds of unfavorable and favorable factors that might occur.

The attendant adjutant Guo Zhong strode in with a telegram in his hand.

When they heard the footsteps, they looked up and turned around.

"Tadako, what's the matter?" Zhang Xinghan saw Guo Zhong's hurried footsteps, and opened his mouth to ask.

"General, a large number of reinforcements from the main force of the US army have arrived, and the pressure on the defenders of Songjiang and Gaoligong Mountain has doubled in the two fortresses on the west bank of the Nu River.

The casualties were extremely heavy, and Wang Dafei, commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Airborne Forces, requested a commission to airdrop new equipment to the troops stationed in Yunnan to strengthen their combat effectiveness.

Fight with them against the offensive of the American army. Guo Zhong quickly and briefly recounted the contents of the message.

Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili glanced at each other, and the former asked, "When will the main reinforcements of the Southwest Frontier Army arrive?" Where is Zhang Lingfu now? ”

Jiang Baili replied: "Back to the commission, Zhang Lingfu's two divisions should have arrived in the Kunming area, and as for the vanguard of the three divisions led by Du Yuming, this should have arrived at the front line." ”

Guo Zhong answered: "Yes, according to the latest information we have. Du Yuming led the three divisions of the original Central Army to the north bank of the Nu River, but the commander-in-chief Zhang Lingfu was still in Kunming. ”

Handing over all the front-line troops of this anti-US war to Zhang Lingfu for unified command was a decision made by Zhang Xinghan and Chairman Chiang after consultation.

Originally, Chairman Chiang was reluctant, but Zhang Xinghan said that once the US forces were defeated on land, the captured weapons and equipment would be given priority to the Central Army, and at the same time, the Central Committee would provide them with accompanying ammunition and logistical supplies.

He also hinted that Chairman Chiang could attack British and French colonies such as Vietnam, Burma, and even India. Take it for yourself.

With these superior and lucrative conditions, Chairman Jiang naturally nodded his head in agreement, and strictly ordered Du Yuming and other generals to cooperate with Zhang Lingfu's command.

However, Zhang Lingfu, as the commander-in-chief, was not on the front line, Zhang Xinghan suddenly became a little angry, and immediately said: "Send a telegram to Zhang Lingfu immediately, and ask him to go to the front line in Baoshan immediately and take over the command as soon as possible." Take full charge of this operation. ”

Guo Zhong saw that Zhang Xing's Chinese tone was slightly serious, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said yes, and quickly turned around and left.

Jiang Baili said: "Commission, Zhang Lingfu is a young general." I am not worried about commanding the army to fight, but I am worried that the main force participating in the war this time is the Central Army of the General Committee. and Yunnan and Sichuan local powerful troops.

With his prestige, he may not be able to do it like an arm! ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, although Jiang Gong has already agreed." But whether the people below will disobey the yang and the yin, this is really a question. ”

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili: "Brother Baili, otherwise, you will be airborne to Kunming with me, so that you will definitely be able to deter the participating troops and concentrate on fighting with all your strength." ”

"Sign, you're going to Kunming, isn't that right?" Jiang Baili was a little worried.

"There's nothing to worry about, this time it's not just the two of us, let's go, Long Yun, Liu Xiang, and Li Zongren will all take it, and no one will dare to disadvantage us." Zhang Xinghan said with a slight smile.

"Hmm." Jiang Baili nodded, and said, "What about the airdrop of weapons and equipment to the front-line Dian army?" ”

Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "Songshan Fortress is very important, and the terrain is limited, and it is not a large number of troops that can play a role, and the strength of weapons and firepower determines the outcome of the victory."

The casualties of the Dian army were too great, and they could cause some unexpected adverse effects.

In this case, notify the logistics department and find a way to transfer two regiments of American-style equipment to them by air.

In order to strengthen the firepower of the defenders in these two places, it can be regarded as reducing some uncertainties and resistance for Lingfu to command the operation in the future. ”

"Yes, the Wise Bench." Jiang Baili smiled slightly and nodded in praise.

………………

In Kunming City, Zhang Lingfu was really in trouble, although his two divisions arrived, but after a long journey, the fuel carried by the troops was exhausted.

Both of his divisions were mechanized infantry divisions drawn from the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region.

Without fuel, trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery tractors will all break down and strike.

That's too much of a weakening of combat power.

However, far away in Yunnan and the difficulty of the Shu Road, Zhang Lingfu knew that logistics and transportation were inconvenient, so he was discussing with the old Longyun army in Kunming to replenish fuel and other supplies for his two mechanized infantry divisions.

However, the officials left behind in Kunming got Long Yun's order, and without his instructions, how could they dare to agree to Zhang Lingfu.

Moreover, with two mechanized infantry divisions and large and small vehicles close to the front, the fuel required was an astronomical amount for them, who were already poor and backward.

For a while, there was simply no way to get so much fuel Ali.

Although Zhang Lingfu was angry, in order not to sabotage this joint operation, he could only grit his teeth and hold back.

As soon as he returned to the temporary headquarters, the remaining signal soldiers saluted him with a telegram in their hands and said: "General Seat, Chairman Nanjing has sent a telegram, urging you to rush to Baoshan immediately and take charge of the defense of the Nu River. ”

Zhang Lingfu angrily took the message and looked at it, then put it aside.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofu stepped forward on the side and suggested: "General seat, these Yunnan people don't know how to lift, we have come all the way, not only do they not offer condolences, but they also refuse to provide some oil supplies.

Hurry up and take two regiments to their warehouse to grab it, I have already found out clearly, there are several large military warehouses in the east of Kunming, and there must be a lot of oil in them. ”

"Nonsense, this time I was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Frontier Army's resistance to the former enemy against the United States.

If we start to rob the border guards in all parts of the southwest to fight against the British and American invading forces, won't we directly sabotage this joint operation? Zhang Lingfu directly vetoed this unreliable decision.
