Section 6: Punishment of Han I

As Li Zongren and this guy predicted in advance, after getting the state landing troops as many as two divisions, Han Fu categorically abandoned the north of the Yellow River, and reduced the army to the south of the Yellow River, and then accused Asunuma Flower Valley of violating the agreement in secret negotiations. \、Qb⑤.coM\

Han Fu continued to play a delaying strategy, and after all the troops on the north bank withdrew to the south bank, the attitude of the Japanese army was toughened, and the Japanese army on the Jiaoji line began to attack the county, and the Japanese army in Yantai attacked Laiyang, and the squadron was almost a regular army in these places, with only one county security regiment.

The main force of the Japanese army pressed from Dexian did not care about the Lingxian Huimin and other areas abandoned by Han Fu at all, leaving only one wing to maintain the traffic along the way from Dexian to the ferry, and the rest of the troops pressed towards the Yellow River.

As soon as the Japanese troops were deployed, Han Fu also saw clearly that the Japanese army was deployed, and the three divisions and two brigades of the Japanese army were divided into three routes, the 108th Division on the right flank was in Jiyang, the 10th Division of the Central Committee and the Bantian Brigade were in front of Jinan, and the 109th Division and the Yamamoto Brigade on the left flank were in Changqing.

Han Fu did not answer and dragged on for two days, and when all the supplies were transported and the troops were ready, the whole army withdrew from the south bank of the Yellow River overnight, abandoned Jinan, and retreated south.

On 3 June, the Japanese army crossed the Yellow River on all fronts, and the 109th Division on the right flank soon occupied Zouping Zhangqiu after crossing the river, and then attacked Zhoucun, fleeing without a fight along the way.

The 108th Division and the Yamamoto Brigade on the left flank occupied Changqing on the same day after crossing the river, and then the 108th Division went north to attack Jinan, and the Yamamoto Brigade went south to attack Feicheng; After crossing the river, the 10th Division of Ryosuke Alum Valley directly pounced on Jinan, and exchanged fire with the troops of the Third Army on the outskirts of Jinan.

On June 5, the Japanese army on the right flank occupied Zhoucun, and then turned south to attack Boshan, and on the same day, Ban occupied the county, the 16th Division occupied Laiyang, and after Ban occupied the county, they did not rush to take action, but waited in the county for four days, and joined the 16th Division, and on June 10, Banyuan turned around and went south, along the Zhucheng River all the way to Linzhi.

On 6 June, Ryosuke Alum Valley occupied Jinan at almost no cost, and the 108th Division immediately turned south and joined up with the Yamamoto Brigade at Mashan, and on 10 June, the 108th Division and the Yamamoto Brigade under the command of Shimoto Kuami launched an attack on Feicheng, and the 22nd Division of the Third Army, which was defending Feicheng, exchanged fire with the Japanese army.

On the same day, the 9th Division on the right flank captured Boshan and then continued its attack on Laiwu, the road was easy, the weak squadron barely resisted, and the hill felt like a trip.

After the occupation of Jinan. The Bantian Brigade was left to guard Jinan and the surrounding areas. He led the 10th Division to pounce on Tai'an.

Han Fudi's actions made Li Zongren in Xuzhou and Chiang Kai-shek in Wuhan very angry. Chiang Kai-shek personally telegraphed Han Fu. It is required to stick to Taean. Relying on the terrain of Mount Tai to block and delay the Japanese attack. But Han Fu ignored it. Continue to lead the troops to retreat south. Ryosuke Kuaya then occupied Taean.

After the fall of Tai'an. Li Zongren again telegraphed Han Fu to establish a defensive line at Dawenkou. This time, Han Fu replied with a telegram. It is said that the Japanese army is outnumbered and powerful. The Third Army was poorly equipped. Irresistible. Then lead the troops to retreat to Qufu. Then it retreated to Yanzhou.

"This Han Fu. It's just lawless. Xu Zuyi was so angry that he threw Han Fu's telegram on the table.

Li Zongren and Zhuang Jihua were relatively calm. Han Fu's escape was expected. But it happened. The two of them were still very angry in their hearts. But they were all able to restrain themselves.

"Less than twenty days. Shandong lost more than half. Han Fu really dared to do it. Zhuang Jihua sighed. Now he is most worried about whether Han Forte's operation will cause a chain reaction. Most of the troops in the Fifth Theater of Operations are miscellaneous units. Once the phenomenon of Han Fu spreads. There is no need to fight this battle.

Li Zongren stared at the map silently, calculating the Japanese army's intentions in his heart, and now the Japanese army's combat intentions on the northern and southern fronts have all been exposed.

The Japanese army was attacking the Japanese in waves, and the progress of the Japanese army on the southern front was relatively smooth, but the resistance of the squadron was gradually increasing, and after the Japanese 106th Division occupied Taizhou on the right flank, the main force of the division turned to the left flank. At this point, all the attempts of the Japanese army on the southern front were exposed, and the right flank was only a false shot to establish a peripheral barrier for Nanjing, and the Japanese attack had only one way, along the Tianjin-Pudong railway to the north, with a total strength of three and a half divisions.

After discovering the Japanese army's intentions, Li Zongren also quickly adjusted, ordering Han Deqin and Miao Chengliu of the 57th Army to join forces to counterattack Taizhou, under the unified command of Han Deqin. Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army crossed Hongze Lake and set up a blocking position in Mingguang, and the 11th Group Army was stationed at Linhuai Pass in Fengyang.

Chiang Kai-shek finally approved the transfer of the Tang Enbo Corps to the Fifth Theater, and the Tang Enbo Corps, which had been resting in eastern Henan, was immediately transported to Xuzhou by car and arrived in Xuzhou in early June.

Zhuang Jihua looked at Li Zongren, being the deputy commander of the Fifth Theater or the first time he really held a deputy position, since Huangpu, he has been serving as the chief officer, the commander of the seventh company, the commander of the third battalion, the chief of the intelligence section, although the first division is nominally the deputy division commander, but in fact he is the division commander, and everything in the first division is dictated by him.

"Look

Six learned the lesson of Yanagawa Heisuke, he didn't dare to divide his troops, and wanted to crush our army with a lion," Zhuang Jihua followed Li Zongren's gaze and saw that his gaze stayed in Huainan, so he knew that he was worried about the southern front in his heart, which is understandable, the main force of the Gui army is on the southern front: "Degong, is the style of play on the southern front changed." ”

"How are you going to change?" Li Zongren asked, he had a vague idea in his heart, he originally wanted to block the attack head-on, but if this happened, the loss of troops and land would be very large, and the troops on the southern front except for Deng Jinkang's 23rd Group Army were his Gui army.

"Frontal blockade, plus flank harassment." Zhuang Jihua has also been thinking about the situation on the southern front in the past two days, the Japanese army has concentrated three and a half divisions, and the strength exceeds their expectations, and even if the southern front can be blocked, the losses of the troops are very large.

"The 21st Group Army and after the Battle of Songhu, they are familiar with the tactics of the Japanese army, and they have strong combat effectiveness, so I suggest that they be placed on the flanks, Dingyuan, and Changfeng. When the main force of the Japanese army attacked Bengbu, the 21st Group Army attacked the rear of the Japanese army from the flank. The Japanese army was forced to draw troops from the front line to defend the rear road. ”

"You're a flanker." Li Zongren smiled, Zhuang Jihua's strategy was similar to his vague idea, but what he wanted was to transfer the 11th Group Army, compared with the 21st Group Army, the 11th Group Army was weaker, and he was worried that he would not be able to stop the Japanese attack from the front.

"As long as they can be forced to draw a division from the front line, the north bank of the Huai River will definitely be able to hold." Zhuang Jihua's demeanor is very confident.

"My idea is to transfer the Eleventh Army." Li Zongren told the truth: "The combat effectiveness of the 21 st Group Army is relatively strong, and it is more appropriate to put it on the front. ”

"If you want to force the Japanese army to draw troops from the front line, you must make them feel that the troops fighting from the flank have strong combat effectiveness, so I think the 21st Group Army is more suitable, and their ability to attack fortifications is stronger than that of the 11th Group Army." Zhuang Jihua analyzed: "The operational principle of the 21 st Group Army is not to fight hard with the Japanese army, and if there are few enemies, they will attack, and if there are many enemies, they will retreat. If the enemy is pursuing, then continue to retreat westward, leading the enemy westward. ”

"Okay, that's it." Li Zongren breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ordered Xu Zuyi to draft an order to adjust the defense line on the southern front again.

"What about the northern route?" After Li Zongren signed the order proposed by Xu Zuyi, he turned around and asked Zhuang Jihua.

"I have to ignore him and continue to give him orders, but I don't think he will carry it out." Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to play a scoundrel: "However, in the next phase of the operation, the Third Army cannot be included in the plan." ”

"Report." Shi Yonglin, the communications director, stood at the door.

Xu Zuyi asked him to come in, Shi Yonglin stepped into the door and stood in the room, opening the folder he brought with him: "The chairman is calling." ”

"Read it."

"At the beginning of the Jinpu Road Campaign, the 15th Theater was defeated in successive battles, and the base camp was scheduled to hold a tactical review in Kaifeng on 20 June.

Li Zongren and Zhuang Jihua exchanged a look with each other, and Li Zongren said slowly: "It seems that the two of us have to leave for a few days, Yanmou, Xuzhou will be handed over to you." ”

Xu Zuyi nodded, he also knew in his heart that this would probably be a Hongmen meeting, and Lao Jiang Wujian was intended for Han Fu.

"Jingle bells." The phone on the table rang, Xu Zuyi grabbed the phone, and after listening to two sentences, he handed the microphone to Li Zongren: "Duke De, Deputy Commander Han's phone." ”

Li Zongren took the phone, and his voice in the microphone was a little hoarse: "Degong, this time I didn't do a good job in Jinan, and I didn't have the face to go to see the chairman, so I won't go to the Kaifeng meeting." ”

"Brother Xiang Fang, I'm too worried," Li Zongren said with a smile: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't worry, the chairman made it clear in the telegram that the army commander and above must attend, and Commander Li Pinxian and Commander Liao Lei of the southern front are also going, if you don't want to, they can also go, will this still be open?" You say that's not the case. ”

Han Fu still didn't want to go, and Li Zongren continued to persuade: "Xiang Fang, you can go with confidence, and explain the situation of the front-line drivers to the chairman face to face." The chairman of the committee can also tell whether it is for you in front of public opinion. ”

Hearing this, Han Fu's form became active, and after the news of his escape without a fight was recorded, public opinion across the country criticized it again and again, and almost clearly proposed to punish Han Fu. However, Li Zongren and Chiang Kai-shek both distinguished Han Fu in front of public opinion, and if Chiang Kai-shek wanted to punish him, he should not distinguish him in front of public opinion.

"Okay, I'll go, and I'll ask Duke De to say a lot of good words when the time comes."

"This is natural," Li Zongren agreed: "You are the deputy commander of our Fifth Theater, and the defeat is also the defeat of our Fifth Theater, you have to bear the responsibility, I, the commander, will definitely not be able to escape, and I will definitely not watch you suffer when the time comes." ”

Putting down the phone, Li Zongren stared at the microphone for a while, and then said softly: "If you don't punish a few generals who run away like this, you won't be able to fight in the future." ”
