Zhao Rui and Wu Liheng, deputy commander of the Independent Division, Lu Yanqing, commander of the 17th Division, Zhang Zuying, the newly promoted deputy division commander, Yan Yaohuan, acting deputy commander of the 44th Division, and Wang Yulin, deputy commander of the 2nd Independent Division, who rushed to hear the news, were restless, anxiously waiting for An Yi and Hu Jialin, who were holding a meeting at the headquarters of the Northeast Army, and waiting for the news of Gu Changfeng's nearly 10,000 brothers who were under siege outside the Guanwai and extremely worrying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wu Liheng stared impatiently at Zhao Rui, who was looking at the map: "Old Zhao, you can call the commander and Hu Zi again to urge, what kind of bird meeting is there?" If it weren't for the Northeast Army's son of a bitch, Dong Futing, who didn't see the Japanese army, hugged his head and ran away, and in the blink of an eye, he even abandoned Jianping and Ling Yuan, and gave up all the retreats of our nearly 10,000 brothers to Little Japan at once, where would our brothers be so anxious? Mind them balls! It would be better to come back early and take care of your brothers, if only the tiger head and the brothers had one. Three long and two short, Lao Tzu picked the skin of Dong Futing's dog mongrel! ”
Wu Liheng, who has deep qualifications, scolded loudly in annoyance, and the thick Xinyang accent shook the wide command hall buzzing, but no one dared to step forward to persuade him, and after being promoted to the regiment commander, Wu Liheng, a former veteran ruffian, rarely lost his temper anymore. Not to mention Wu Li, who has not scolded anyone so badly, but Wu Li, who is true to his words, but suddenly saying such cruel words today is not a casual vent of anger, if Gu Changfeng and nearly 10,000 brothers really have an accident, Dong Futing will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
The commanders of all the divisions present have walked out of the old brothers from the independent division, only Wang Yulin and the adjutant have never seen Wu Liheng, at this moment to see Wu Liheng, who has opened his general's uniform, his collar is revealing thick chest hair, his face is full of meat, and there is a three-inch long scar on his cheeks, so angry, no one in the group of generals around him dares to squeak, Wang Yulin is secretly surprised in his heart, and regrets that he has not asked the commanders of the brothers' troops about the specific situation when he comes back.
"What's wrong with Lao Wu? As soon as I got to the staircase, I heard your loud voice, is it that I will not come back. You're going to scold your mother too? An Yi, who came in in a hurry, joked calmly.
Hu Jialin, who rushed back from the Northeast Army Headquarters together, had a gloomy face, walked up to Zhao Rui and asked, "Does Hutou have any further plans?" ”
"It's because we don't have it that we're in a hurry" I don't know what their situation is now, are they chasing the Japanese army in the direction of Luolaqin or Jianchang? Zhao Rui replied worriedly.
Wu Lidan scratched his bare head embarrassedly, and saw that An Yi was not angry and went directly to hang up his coat. turned to Liu Qing, the director of intelligence, on the side: "You kid can't wait for news from the telecommunications department next door, why are you standing here?" ”
Liu Qing knew that Wu Liheng was anxious, and said with a smile: Little brother is here, you can't make a mistake, the deputy director and section chief are staring next door, you can rest assured. ”
An Yi loudly instructed the brothers to sit down around the long table next to him, briefed him on the emergency meeting that began in the morning and ended at three o'clock, and thoughtfully handed a cigarette to the newcomer and rather restrained Wang Yulin, and lit a fire for Wang Yulin before returning to his place:
"The battle situation has changed a lot, the number of Japanese troops on the front line of Shanhaiguan has increased, and the battle on the front line of Lingnan is very fierce. Two brigades and one cavalry wing of the Japanese army on the front line of Rehe marched in unison, and it was estimated that they would begin to make contact with the defenders of Tang Yulin's army stationed in Pingquan at nightfall.
"The Northeast Army is very difficult, especially Dong Futing's defeat without a fight and the loss of Lingyuan and Jianping, Chengde, an important support point of the entire defense line, is almost placed under the guns of the Japanese army. Today's emergency meeting is mainly to discuss the direction of Chengde. If it weren't for urging Tang Yulin to send a division to Kuancheng to defend it to the death, resist the Japanese attack, and pick up Hutou and Brother Jiu to lead the brothers back, Huzi and I would have come back a long time ago. ”
Wu Liheng hurriedly stood up: "Commander." Are you really going to let the tiger head and them break through to the west? The main force of the Japanese Sixth Division in Jianchang must have blocked the line of Foye Cave to the west of Jianchang, and it was difficult for Hutou and his brothers to break through that dangerous area, the question was whether Tang Yulin's troops dared to go up and fight the Japanese army? Moreover, in terms of the fastest march, it will take at least 16 hours for nearly 10,000 brothers in Hutou to reach the Buddha Cave, and along the way, they will have to pass through Baita Town and Sihe Town, which the Japanese army may have been strictly defending. ”
"But it is not possible to break through to the south, the south is the main force of the two wings of the Japanese Sixth Division, the Seventh Division and the 14th Independent Mixed Brigade, although it seems to be the closest road, but it is also the most dangerous, and the Kwantung Army Command will definitely carry out a tight encirclement in this direction." Zhao Rui expressed his opinion.
The brothers immediately discussed it, so it seems that it is dangerous to break through from any direction, and if you go east, you will be caught in the net, and not only will you go deep into the hinterland of the Japanese army to the north, but also the distance from the Great Wall will be getting farther and farther, and it will not be possible to break through Lingyuan in the northwest direction, and the 60,000 main forces and 20,000 puppet troops of the old enemy, including the Eighth Division, will occupy Lingyuan without a single shot, and it is no different from crashing into the tigers.
Wang Yulin listened quietly, feeling very curious about the way the brothers around him corroborated each other, and he benefited a lot from thinking about it carefully.
Hu Jialin saw that everyone was almost discussed, and discussed a few words with An Yi beside him, then signaled everyone to stop, and directly said the preliminary solution he discussed with An Yi:
"The commander and I think that the Kwantung Army was disabled by a brigade and a cavalry regiment led by Hutou and Brother Jiu this morning, and they can't swallow this breath no matter what, judging from the fact that after the Eighth Division took Lingyuan, the non-stop soldiers rushed to Pingquan in three ways, they are determined to eat our ten thousand brothers.
"At noon, Chief of Staff Zhao called the commander to relay the three urgent telegrams of Hutou, and we knew what the purpose of the Japanese cavalry wing and the puppet cavalry regiment rushed from Jianchang Gao to Foye Cave, the enemy wanted to take Foye Cave in advance and block the westward retreat of 10,000 brothers of Hutou, Xiao Ju can form a greater deterrent to the panicked Pingquan defenders, estimating, Na will also follow behind, therefore, the safest and best way to retreat on the western front has become the most dangerous and difficult, even if it is killed, it is estimated that there will be no one in ten.
"Because of this, the western front can't go, there is only one way to fight, that is, to the south to feint to attack Jianchang and then suddenly turn north, and the action must be fast, you must act before dark today, the 11th Air Force stationed at Nanyuan Airport is ready to take off at any time, they provide as much support as possible for the action of the 10,000 brothers of the tiger head, and now wait for the news of the tiger head to reply, it is estimated that he and the ninth brother and others are also nervously calculating."
The generals discussed it a little and agreed that this method could only be adopted at present, and the delicate-minded Lu Yixuan simply said it very directly:
"I agree with the opinion of the commander and the deputy commander, if the younger brother's prediction is good, with the current analysis of the morale and combat effectiveness of the Pingquan defenders, they will definitely not be able to stop the three-way attack of the Japanese army with high morale, and they can hold out until dawn tomorrow. If I were the commander of the Japanese army, after being blocked in front of Pingdingshan, the most dangerous 20 kilometers east of Pingquan, I would divide a brigade and regiment to bypass Pingdingshan and go straight to Kuancheng in the south. Nor can it break through smoothly. Therefore, the Western Front must not be taken, unless our three divisions can rush to Chengde within 12 hours. Then he drove into Kuancheng non-stop, but in this way, it became a decisive battle in the nature of a battle. ”
Everyone deeply believed that it would certainly not be possible for the three divisions to rush to Chengde within 10 hours, and no one wanted to fight the Japanese army in Kuancheng, which had lost its geographical advantage and had extremely difficult logistical supplies.
"Report to the commander, Chief Gu is in a hurry!" Liu Qing arrived in a hurry.
"Read!"
An Yi's waist was straight, his expression was grim, he knew that Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao had already made a choice at this time, so they should let the brothers present know.
"Yes".
Liu Qing read aloud: "Commander Junjian: Our unit plans to make a feint attack to the south at night, take advantage of the night to suddenly withdraw from the battlefield, and turn around and go north. After that, it will be reported at any time depending on the progress of the operation and the situation of the Japanese army. Gu Changfeng, Yang Jiuxiao, respectfully, looking forward to recovery. 4:50 p.m. on the same day
An Yi exchanged glances with Zhao Rui and Hu Jialin, and then asked for the opinions of all the brothers, and when he saw that there was no objection, he immediately dictated the order: "Order, receive it." Agree to your unit's plan, and the destroyer squadron and bomber squadron of the air brigade will all take off one hour before nightfall to help your unit carry out the maximum attack on the Baita and Jianchang Japanese invaders. ”
At 5:30 p.m., Siguanyingzi Town.
According to the news reported by the reconnaissance team from all sides, Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao personally led the main forces of the three regiments to decisively leave the Bodhisattva Temple and enter Siguanyingzi Town.
What puzzled Gu Changfeng was that the Japanese army had not rushed to the Zhendong battlefield that had begun in the morning, and the Japanese cavalry reconnaissance teams that appeared in the east, south, and north directions were also observing from a distance, and they definitely did not close the distance with the reconnaissance team of the headquarters, but flew a few reconnaissance planes like green-headed snakes. "Buzzing" called, circling repeatedly in the airspace between Siguanyingzi and the Bodhisattva Temple, often these two left the other two and flew again.
Gu Changfeng knew that the Chaoyang airfield, which had been bombed by his own air brigade, was still under construction, and the straight-line distance from Jinzhou Airport, the closest to the Japanese army, was about 130 kilometers, and it was very convenient for Japanese planes to come and go.
Due to the close proximity of the Japanese planes and the long time spent in the air, the reason why there was no bomber group to drop bombs was probably because the fighting between Lingnan and Shanhaiguan was tense, and the Japanese air force did not make special arrangements for its own troops, which were less than 10,000 people and were deeply encircled. Therefore, after careful consideration, Gu Changfeng chose to swagger to the southeast, no matter whether he could confuse the Japanese army, the movement of a large force of more than 7,000 people would definitely make the Japanese army very nervous.
In fact, it was not that the Japanese air force could not draw out fighters and bombers to help in the war, but the 6th Army, which had a strong sense of self-esteem, faced the hated Gu Changfeng with less than 10,000 people, and thought that they did not need planes to help them.
The team entered the town and rested in place, Gu Changfeng was still on his horse, looking at his watch, it was already six o'clock in the evening, the winter in western Liaoning was getting dark quickly, the gray night was slowly falling, and the two Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky were still making their last efforts.
Yang Jiuxiao knew what Gu Changfeng was looking at. He hit his horse and looked at the sky to the south: "Tiger head, our plane should also come, if you don't come, how will you land when you go back after dark?" ”
Gu Changfeng shook his head and smiled: "Brother Jiu can rest assured." Beiping Nanyuan Machine must have solved this problem, don't forget that our radio can already talk in the pass
"Look! Our planes, southeast! It flew from the southeast! Chief of Staff Liang Zhenyu cheered excitedly.
Gu Changfeng's spirits perked up, and he looked at the southeast and smiled: "Brothers, come out!" Go south and slam those in White Tower! ”
The whole town moved, more than two hundred war horses shuttled and ran, loudly giving orders, and in less than five minutes, a team of more than 7,000 people rumbled to the southeast.
