Yang Yuchun is going behind enemy lines, and the chief of the operations section will re-determine the candidate, but this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to agree to his retreat, but Chiang Kai-shek's reply has not yet arrived, Zhuang Jihua can imagine that Chiang Kai-shek is now communicating with Bai Chongxi telegram, Bai Chongxi independently coordinated and commanded such a huge battle for the first time in this war, he must hope to win a complete victory, especially after Zhuang Jihua won two consecutive battles, the people have been faintly called the first general. \\.qВ5、c0m\

"Telegraph Wuhan again, the chairman's chamberlain and send a letter to the command of Chief Yangbai, the Japanese army's intentions have been very obvious, our army has suffered huge casualties on the eastern front, and it is difficult to continue, and now retreating can save the troops to the greatest extent."

But Wuhan Chiang Kai-shek has always remained silent, Bai Chongxi's reply came quickly, Bai Chongxi still insisted, transferred the 20th Army to the south**, in order to enhance Zhuang Jihua's confidence, the 74th Army was assigned to the command of the 5th Theater, and at the same time suggested that the 74th Army be used in the Yongcheng battlefield on the southern front.

Gong Chu handed over the retreat plan he had drawn up to Zhuang Jihua for a look, and Zhuang Jihua shook his head after thinking about it and said, "This won't work." ”

According to this plan, Li Xianzhou's 92nd Army and Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army would retreat to Jiangsu, Fan Songfu, Liu Ruming, and Liao Yaoxiang would withdraw to the west with Lu Han and Deng Xihou to southeastern Henan, and Liao Lei and Li Yannian would withdraw to Hubei; On the eastern front, Zhang Zizhong and Tang Enbo retreated to Fengxian and Dangshan together with Sun Liren; On the northern front, Sun Lianzhong's command post retreated to Heze, and from Heze entered Henan, Sun Tongxuan and Du Yuming withdrew to Shangqiu through Shanxian County, and Xu Zuyi was responsible for leading the 49th Group Army and the 1st and 78th Army to retreat to Henan.

"Such a simple retreat is tantamount to ceding a vast area behind enemy lines to the Japanese, and some troops must be left behind enemy lines." Zhuang Jihua said and picked up a pen and sketched on the document: "It is good for the 92nd Army to withdraw to Jiangsu, Liao Lei's 21st Group Army must leave no less than one division to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains near Dingyuan, Li Yannian's division of the Second Army retreats to Hefei, and the rest of the 21st Group Army retreats to Dabie Mountain. It is not enough for Yu Xuezhong to enter Jiangsu, not only to see northern Jiangsu, but also to see Shandong, Shandong has Yimeng Mountain, Taishan, Jiaodong, such a vast area, can not be left to others like this. Let Liu Ruming also pass, and in the future, these two divisions will enter the Yimeng Mountains. The strategic position of Dabie Mountain is extremely important, and it cannot be ceded to others, so we told Liao Lei to make a long-term plan to hold on to it and build it into our fortress behind enemy lines. ”

After the abandonment of North China, the GCD took the opportunity to occupy a vast area behind enemy lines in North China, and Chiang Kai-shek, in view of this, had an order before the start of this major war that once he had to retreat, he must leave enough troops behind enemy lines, and he could not withdraw like North China did.

"The situation in North China proves that the plains can also be held onto, Weishan Lake, Dushan Lake, and Nanyang Lake are also good places to fight guerrillas, you are an expert in guerrilla warfare, and it should be no problem for this area to accommodate a brigade." Zhuang Jihua drew a large circle in Zaozhuang, Jining, and Peixian with his hands, enclosing the three lakes in Luxi and their surrounding areas.

Gong Chu secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, this commander really dares to think dumbly, the guerrilla warfare on the plains is extremely dangerous, the biggest difference between the Kuomintang and the GCD is in the grassroots organization and policy, if the GCD can survive behind the enemy, the Kuomintang may not be able to do it, but this cannot be said.

"Nope." Zhuang Jihua was easier to speak, and Gong Chu decided not to live up to the reputation of the expert: "Although this area is large, this area is a transportation artery, and the Japanese garrison is bound to be strong, and the guerrilla space is not large, so it is difficult to establish a solid base area, and it can accommodate a regiment at the top of the sky." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhuang Jihua a little nervously, Zhuang Jihua nodded silently, admitting that Gong Chu's judgment was good, but who to send? I'm afraid it's a hundred times more difficult here than Yimeng Mountain, and Zhuang Jihua can't find a suitable candidate for a while.

"You reformulate a retreat plan, the northern line doesn't need to make many changes, the southern line is revised according to what I just said, and then organize a deduction to see what the problems are."

Gong Chu nodded in agreement and turned around and went out.

After Chiang Kai-shek received Zhuang Jihua's telegram, he immediately called He Yingqin, Jiang Baili and Chen Cheng to discuss, Jiang Baili and Chen Cheng resolutely supported Zhuang Jihua, thinking that the long-term war of resistance does not care whether Honma can be annihilated now, we have dealt a heavy blow to Honma, Haneda, and Nishio Shouzo, although the second Jinpu Road Battle failed to form a formation to annihilate the Japanese army, in terms of the number of enemies annihilated, it is no less than the first Jinpu Road Battle, and now retreat can avoid unnecessary adventures.

He Yingqin's attitude was a little ambiguous, one would say that he could withdraw and protect the troops, and the other he hesitated, thinking that the annihilation of Honma was imminent, and it was possible to grit his teeth.

Lin Wei hesitated for a moment and decided to support Zhuang Jihua, not only because of Zhuang Jihua's brilliant record, but also because Zhuang Jihua was a front-line commander, and what he said was more convincing.

After receiving the support of the three main military staffs, Chiang Kai-shek made up his mind to retreat, but unexpectedly, Bai Chongxi actually resolutely refused, he insisted that he could still fight, the Japanese army coming down from Puyang had been intercepted by the 27th Jun and the 22nd Group Army and Rao Guohua's division, Xue Yue had made great progress north of the Yellow River, and the Japanese 36th and 17th divisions had been divided and surrounded in a few isolated small villages, and annihilation was just around the corner. South of the Yellow River, Xu Zuyi has seriously compressed the space of Honma, our army is only five miles away from the core position of Honma, Dongkou, the new 22nd Division is in Suxian, Nakajima Kangjian is already a tired soldier, ** can go down in one fell swoop, so that our army can regain control of the entire battle situation.

Bai Chongxi also accused Zhuang Jihua in the telegram of being arrogant and refusing to obey orders, the 20th Army was still retreating to Dangshan in Henan, and the 74th Army did not open to the front line of the Huhe River, causing crises on the front line of the Huhe River, and he even hinted that Zhuang Jihua might deliberately let go of the frontal defense line of the Huhe River and make the retreat a fait accompli.

After reading Bai Chongxi's telegram, Jiang Baili was a little angry, and he said very dissatisfied: "Bai Jiansheng is in Xinyang, Zhuang Jihua is in Xuzhou, who knows the actual situation on the front line better?" It is self-evident that combat is not based on imagination and guesswork. Chairman of the Committee, I strongly demand that the order to retreat be given. ”

Although Chiang Kai-shek agreed with Jiang Baili's opinion, he rarely showed the best spirit this time, and still insisted on persuading Bai Chongxi instead of forcing orders, he advised Bai Chongxi in the telegram to pay attention to the crisis on the Eastern Front, even if Honma was annihilated, there were still 500,000 Japanese troops on the periphery, and the Japanese army could still attack, if our army suffered too much loss and could not stop the Japanese army, the Japanese army might directly attack Wuhan, so the gains would outweigh the losses.

Wuhan and Xinyang telegraphed each other, and under the city of Suxian, Liao Yaoxiang, who had suffered a big loss, was angrily leading his troops to storm Suxian.

Liao Yaoxiang rushed to Su County shortly after dawn, and the rest of the 716 Brigade rendezvous, Liao Yaoxiang, who had never suffered such a loss, was furious after hearing Yao Songtao's report, and while ignoring the report to Zhuang Jihua demanding that Li Pinxian be severely punished, he quickly gathered troops and began to attack Su County.

Igniting Liao Yaoxiang's anger is equivalent to igniting the anger of the new 22nd Division, the boxers divided into three ways to rush to Suxian, and soon they recovered the losses they had suffered in the west of the city. When Liao Yaoxiang launched **, there were still nearly 2,000 people who did not enter Su County, and they were ambushed by Liao Yaoxiang

The continuous forced march dragged the island for a long time, although more than 3,000 people rushed to Su County, but there were still about 2,000 people dragged behind, Liao Yaoxiang's right flank detoured to the west gate, and on the way got the news that a Japanese army was coming, Liao Yaoxiang immediately decided to eliminate this Japanese army.

When the shells fell, the Japanese soldiers who were extremely tired were still standing there in a daze, facing the Chinese soldiers who were surging like a tide, they just instinctively made the action of resistance, and the outcome was not at all self-evident, the Japanese soldiers aroused the last bit of strength, assaulted Suxian, dragged their heavy legs and ran forward, the leather boots on their feet seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and the thousands of pounds in their hands were like thousands of catties, their physical strength and spirit had reached the limit, and many people did not want to get up when they lay down.

The loud trumpets and the sound of artillery woke up Nakajima, who was resting on the city walls, and fell asleep in a daze, in fact, the entire brigade was sleeping, and the sound of gunfire and artillery made them get up from their sleep and look at the smoke and fire rising in the distance.

"Your Excellency, let me take someone out to meet them." It was only an hour before Furuki arrived in the city, and the entire Fifth Mixed Brigade was divided into three parts, and the vanguard led by Nakajima, including the 1st Cavalry Brigade, had about 1,500 or 600 troops; The second part he led had about two thousand troops; Wing Commander Gao Pu led the last group, including some of the weaker soldiers, the lightly wounded, and the doctors, nurses, and engineers.

Nakajima's expressionless smoke and bursts of firelight shook his head resolutely for a long time: "No, order down, the whole army will enter the combat state, tell Lucao, and immediately withdraw to the city." ”

"Your Excellency." Gu Shu was extremely painful, and Nakajima's move was undoubtedly to abandon the troops outside the city and leave them to fend for themselves: "Let me go." ”

"How many ** troops are out there? How much stamina do you still have? Nakajima's voice was still firm, but he didn't dare to turn around, and there were tears in his eyes. After a long time, Nakajima said: "Immediately telegraph to Beiping, the ** army is counterattacking, request urgent reinforcements, and we will fight to the last soldier." ”

Nakajima tried to restrain his grief, and then turned to face Gushu: "Tell all the soldiers that this battle is not allowed to retreat, and everyone must hold on until the last moment." ”

The gunfire outside the city gradually disappeared, and the cannon sound at the north gate rang out again, the earth-shattering explosion, Nakajima's heart trembled, the main direction of attack of the squadron was at the north gate, such a powerful artillery fire, Lucao didn't know if he could withdraw from the railway station outside the north gate.

Liao Yaoxiang's attacks have always been crazy, he completely followed the tactics taught in the Chongqing Military Academy, the infantry accompanied the explosive point charge, the rain of shells destroyed all the obstacles in the railway station, and the roaring soldiers rushed into the station with the sound of the explosion, and fought with the Japanese army house by house.

Shikacao stared at the blood-red eyes and tried to launch a counterattack, but was stopped by the herald who arrived in time, and the herald brought Nakajima's order to retreat to the city immediately. Lu Cao led the remnants to quickly retreat into the city, and Liao Yaoxiang won the first battle.

So easily seizing the important barrier on the periphery of the North Gate convinced Liao Yaoxiang that retaking Suxian was just a gesture, but he wanted to humiliate the deputy commander who made him suffer inexplicably, the commander-in-chief of the southern front.
