The focus of the contradiction between the two men was that Tang Enbo demanded that the 31st Army immediately retreat to the north of Miyang, leaving at most one army in the Tongbai Mountains.

Li Zongren, however, still insisted that the 31st Group Army remain in the encirclement and continue to fight.

The discussion between the two was ineffective, and Tang Enbo was anxious, so he lost his temper and said: "At present, our 31st Group Army is still surrounded by the Japanese army, and it is rushing to stop people every second. When there is no continuation, it will be disturbed. No, no, you can't sacrifice my troops indiscriminately! Commander Han, let's go! ”

He didn't care whether Han Xing was happy or not, he pulled Han Xing's sleeve and left.

Han Xing could only make a helpless look at Li Zongren, which means that I don't want to do this! It's really Tang Enbo Fei who pulled me away!

was so angry that Li Zongren's face turned even paler. This Tang Enbo is really a hot potato, and he just doesn't obey his orders. If you say good things to him, he won't listen, if it is dealt with by military law, he is a celebrity of the chairman, he is really a favorite, and he is not punished, and there is no way to take him!

To say that the contradiction between Li Zongren and Tang Enbo has really been going on for a long time.

First, in the Battle of Taierzhuang, Li Zongren repeatedly ordered Tang Enbo to attack, but Tang Enbo's group did not move forward in the Gupo Mountains. In the end, Li Zongren admonished Tang Enbo and said that if he did not obey the order and missed the opportunity, he should be severely punished according to Han Fuyu's precedent.

Second, in the later Battle of Nanjing, Li Zongren had just come to power and asked Tang Enbo to help defend Nanjing, but Tang Enbo went to Shanghai, but Nanjing did not hold, causing the People's Liberation Army to cross the Yangtze River, and Shanghai did not hold it, but Li Zongren stepped down.

After Tang Enbo returned, he resolutely decided that except for leaving the commander of the 13th Army, Zhang Zhen, to lead the 23rd Division and the 1st and 2nd Independent Brigades to carry out guerrilla attacks in the Tongbai Mountains, the main forces of the rest of the group army would use the method of alternate cover with each other to retreat north through the Tongbai Mountains between Pingshi and Xixinji, and retreat to the north of Miyang.

At the same time, Tang Enbo urgently appealed to Chiang Kai-shek for help.

How else to say that the two are the eighth, Li Zongren asked Chiang Kai-shek for help, Chiang Kai-shek didn't necessarily listen, but Tang Enbo asked for help, it was different.

After Chiang Kai-shek received Tang Enbo's request for help, he was very anxious, and immediately ordered Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army to immediately accelerate its southward movement, attack Tanghe, Miyang, and Tongbai on all fronts, block the encirclement of the two wings of the Japanese army, and completely defeat the Japanese army's encirclement tactics.

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the main forces of Tang Enbo's army group to immediately go north to break through.

At the same time, Li Zongren also urgently adjusted the deployment, ordering the two corps of Li Pinxian and Zhang Zizhong to immediately counterattack on the whole front, and be sure to stick to the key points and delay the Japanese attack. He also ordered the Central Army Jiangfang Army to storm the Japanese army from the flank and cut off the communication and supply lines of the Japanese army on the left flank.

More importantly, Li Zongren ordered Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army to immediately move south to block the Japanese encirclement, which was the same as Chiang Kai-shek's order.

At this time, the Japanese army had been fighting fiercely for 10 days, and the left flank and the right flank had gone through dozens of fierce battles, especially the 3rd Division on the right flank suffered serious losses, and the casualties of 2 divisions and 1 brigade on the left flank were relatively small, but their battle line was stretched to more than 250 kilometers, and there were many Zhang Zizhong's troops along the line, which were like stretching a neck, which was easy to be cut off.

Therefore, Li Zongren ordered Zhang Zizhong, Li Pinxian's corps, and Jiang Fangjun to attack the Japanese army from the left and right flanks, which just hit the soft underbelly of the Japanese army.

At the same time, Li Zongren also ordered the guerrillas in the rear of Dabie Mountain to immediately attack on all fronts and attack the rear of the Japanese army. At this time, there were not many garrisons in the rear of the Japanese army, and it was a good opportunity to raid his lair.

However, these are relatively secondary, and the key is that Townenbo successfully broke through first, which saved the main force of the 5th theater. Also, will Sun Lianzhong's group army be able to block the encirclement of the two wings of the Japanese army?

Sun Lianzhong's group army is a strong force that has gone through countless defensive and bloody battles, and it really lives up to its reputation.

On the 11th, the 89th Regiment of the 30th Division of the 30th Army of Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Group Army occupied Tanghe County one step ahead of the 2nd Group Army, and engaged in a fierce battle with the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army.

After a day and a night of hard fighting, the cavalry brigade occupied the Tang River at a huge cost and repelled the absolutely inferior national army.

Prior to this, the 14th Cavalry Brigade did not encounter strong resistance from the National Army except for the tank battalion of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and this time it encountered the Sun Lianzhong Group Army, which was the best at defense, and the situation was completely different.

At that time, the national army's troops in Tanghe County were only one of the 89th Regiment of Sun Lianzhong's 30th Division, and there were also local militia groups in Tanghe County.

The 4th Cavalry Brigade attacked several times in a row with several times superior strength, all of which were repulsed by Sun Lianzhong's troops, and the Japanese suffered nearly 1,000 casualties.

Finally, on the 13th, the Japanese cavalry relied on the heavy bombardment of more than 10 aircraft to occupy the Tang River.

At this time, Han Xing's tank battalion also withdrew to the north of Miyang with Tang Enbo's main force, while Yin Zhaoli's special operations battalion and Zhang Xiaosan's guard Bian also withdrew here.

The two forces were combined in one place.

Han Xing said to Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan: "Our cavalry opponents are now in the Tang River, and I miss them a lot. Are you two willing to follow me to the Tang River to eat horse meat!" ”

Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan looked at each other and smiled, they already knew what it meant in Korean jargon. Yin Zhaoli said: "It's been quite aggrieved for a while, and I ran away with Tang Enbo. I can't complain that everyone else calls Tang Enbo a runaway general. I'm hungry these days, it's good to eat horse meat, I'm thinking about eating horse meat! ”

Zhang Xiaosan also said: "Commander Han, to be honest, I'm quite scared of you when I see you." But I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you again. It's so boring to follow you and run blindly with Town. It's better to follow you to hunt, distract yourself, and sweep away the bad luck for a while. ”

Han Xing said: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up the supplies, and then set off in the tank as before." ”

As a result, tank battalions, special operations battalions, and guard companies hurried to replenish supplies.

To say that the supply is still quite troublesome, according to the predetermined plan, Xu Da's transport plane airdropped fuel, ammunition and food.

Since the tank battalion had the largest amount of supplies, the tank crews were busy filling up fuel and putting ammunition in the tanks (the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun bullets were not available in the national army at all). As for the infantry, they were busy making cooked food, and another three days of dry food plus some bagged food.

The tanks were filled with fuel and ammunition, while the officers and men were holding their bellies one by one, eating and drinking, and some of them were still burping.

Han Xing said to Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan: "I have also eaten and drunk, it's time to work!" ”

Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan saluted Han Xing and said, "Yes!" I'm sorry for such a good meal if I don't work. So he commanded the infantry to climb all the tanks.

Han Xing got into the command car and gave an order to Youqian: "Towards Tanghe County, forward-"

The tanks started one after another, and one after another there was a loud thunder of motors, and after a short warm-up, they then drove a little southerly to the west, and roared over.

The weather was very good, and Han Xing was in a good mood, and after these days of fierce fighting, the Japanese army finally moved from the offensive to the stalemate stage. They've run out of tricks, it's time for us to make a move. Han Xing fell in love with the Japanese cavalry, so he was willing to bully it with tanks.

The terrain here is flat, the land is fertile, and the groundwater is extremely abundant, which can be called the "underground sea in Central China", which is an ideal land for the development of agriculture. It is located in the northern subtropical monsoon climate zone, with a warm and humid climate, abundant light and heat resources, and abundant precipitation in the rainy season, which is suitable for the growth of a variety of crops.

The blue in the sky is like an endless sea. The sun doesn't seem to want us to see it, and it shines golden light on our eyes, so that we can't see it.

The clouds are also ever-changing. After a while, the cloud turned into a cow, grazing leisurely, and after a while, the cow seemed to have discovered something, supported its body with its strong body, and walked over, and the cow became confused. Suddenly, a big tiger came from behind, and a mighty man appeared on it, sitting on the back of the tiger, as if Wu Song was fighting a tiger. Then it looked like a fat white rabbit, very cute, very pure, looking at its small and delicate appearance, it changed in a blink of an eye, and it could no longer be found.

With such a good mood, Han Xing went all the way to the north of Tanghe County, the territory of the Second Army.

Sun Lianzhong was on the front line, and Han Xing was fortunate to meet with this fierce general of the Northwest Army.

Han Xing got out of the tank, and Sun Lianzhong led some officials to meet him.

The two groups of people got closer and closer, and Han Xing was carefully looking at the famous Chinese warrior.

Sun Lianzhong was born in a wealthy peasant family in 1893 and lived in a relatively affluent environment since he was a child. At the age of 19, he was conscripted into the army and served as a squad leader in the artillery battalion of Feng Yuxiang's 16th Mixed Brigade, which was deeply appreciated by Feng Yuxiang.

After the outbreak of the Protectorate War at the end of 1915, Feng Yuxiang's troops fought in Sichuan. In the battle of Longtou Mountain, Sun Lianzhong once carried a 238-pound mountain cannon by himself, led the soldiers to attack the Protector Army by taking the back road, and hit the opponent's position with one artillery and won the victory. Since then, he has been promoted to the commander of the first company of the artillery battalion.

In the autumn of 1924, Feng Yuxiang, together with Hu Jingyi and Sun Yue, launched the "Beijing Coup" and overthrew the new leader of the immediate line, bribing the elected president Cao Kun.

Before the incident, Feng Yuxiang promoted Sun Lianzhong to the commander of the Guards Brigade, with jurisdiction over three units: the pistol regiment, the cadet regiment, and the artillery battalion.

On the evening of October 22, Sun Lianzhong's chief of staff, Wang Dejin, hosted a banquet for Zhang Hanchen, the head of Cao Kun's guards. When Zhang, Wang and others were playing cards after dinner, Sun Lianzhong commanded the pistol regiment to surround the presidential palace, confiscate the guns at the police post, and send troops to take over the police position.

At that time, most of the officers and men of Cao Kun's guard regiment were sleeping soundly, and they were all dealt with in an unguarded situation. After the incident, Sun Lianzhong was transferred to the commander of the artillery brigade of the First Army of the National Army. Soon, Feng's army expanded, and Sun was promoted to commander of the Second Cavalry Division.

In the spring of 1938, a brigade of the 10th Division, an elite unit of the Japanese invaders, attempted to move south along the Jinpu Line to capture Xuzhou. At that time, Li Zongren, the commander of the Fifth Theater of the Kuomintang, was responsible for directing the war in the Xuzhou area. When Chiang Kai-shek was in an emergency in Xuzhou, he also believed that it was strategically necessary to strengthen the Fifth Theater, so he hastily transferred the Tang Enbo Regiment and Sun Lianzhong's Second Army, which had not yet completed supplementary training in Henan, to reinforce the First Theater in the starry night.
