The more the chief of staff spoke, the more excited he became, and he kept hammering the wall with his fist, hitting it with a "dong dong" sound, which immediately attracted a scolding from outside: "Engage in wilderness? Is there an end? ”

"Little brother, it seems that your accent is from Guangdong, come on, I'm also from Guangdong, I've met a fellow here, let's talk!" After all, the chief of staff is a person who gives advice, and as soon as he heard the accent of the guard, he was in a hurry and had a plan.

The opening ceremony broke up unhappily, and Commander Li looked angrily at the order sent by the garrison headquarters and said to Commander Xue of the 47th Division: "There is a death order from above, and we want to immediately reinforce Madang, Brother Xue, your 47th Division is in Pengze, which is the closest to Madang, so you should go!" ”

"Yes! The subordinates obeyed the order, but the military seat, which way did our 47th Division go to Madang? Division Commander Xue stood up and asked, there are two ways to go to Madang from Pengze Station, one is to go directly to Madang along the main road on the bank of the Yangtze River, the distance is short, the time is small, and this road can be used for trucks, the 47th Division is a semi-mechanized army, it should be able to quickly reach Madang within half a day, but this road is often bombed by devil planes, and the danger in the march is not small.

There is also a road from the mountain road near Pengze, the road is a lot longer, at least twice as long, and the mountain road can not pass through the truck at all, can only climb slowly, the time to reach the Madang Fortress is estimated to be more than two days, there is a only advantage is that it is relatively safe, the devil bomber is too lazy to bomb the path on the mountain nest!

In fact, the telegram sent by the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters to Commander Li had clearly mentioned that the reinforcements were to rush to Madang along the main road along the river, and this suggestion was put forward by Deputy Commander Bai, who believed that the reinforcements must be rapid and timely, and it was inevitable to pay certain casualties, as long as they could block the attack of the devils, and keeping the Madang fortress would be a victory.

But Commander Li didn't think so, as soon as he saw that Commander Bai wanted him to order his subordinates to rush to reinforcements along the main road on the bank of the Yangtze River, he thought that Commander Bai deliberately let his subordinates go to death, and that they would definitely be bombed indiscriminately by devil bombers when they took the main road, and that the 47th Division was the home of his 16th Army. At that time, if you work hard to get to Madang, but you lose most of your troops, and you still can't stop the onslaught of the devils, won't you be thankless, and you will suffer the losses of the devil's bombing in vain?

It is said that the Kuomintang army often loses battles, and they have reached the point of life and death, they are still fighting their own little Jiujiu, in the protection of their own strength and the consistent disdain and unconvincing of the miscellaneous army commanders, Commander Li decided to let Commander Xue's 47th Division take the mountain road to reinforce Madang!

As soon as Division Commander Xue heard that Junzuo wanted him to take the 47th Division over the mountain road, he felt that something was wrong at that time, and hurriedly asked: "Junzao, the mountain road is far away, and it is rugged and difficult to travel, and heavy weapons such as trucks and cannons cannot be carried, so it will take two or three days to get to Madang." ”

"Brother Xue, do you think that the surname Bai wants our Sixteenth Army? If you are willing to listen to the surname Bai and take the big road, I don't care about the losses suffered, you want to go to the surname Bai. "This Commander Li is really a bastard, and he actually got involved in personal grievances related to the life and death of Madang Fortress, which is really hateful!

Commander Xue naturally wants to obey Commander Li, firstly, he is a close subordinate of Commander Li, and only Commander Li can ensure that his troops are replenished after suffering losses, and secondly, he also looks down on the identity of Commander Bai, a miscellaneous general, and thinks that he intends to weaken his own strength as a descendant of the Central Army, although he feels that it is a bit too much to take the mountain road, that is, he is deliberately grinding not to reinforce in order to preserve his strength, but he thought about it for a while, and felt that it was more reliable to listen to Commander Li's words, After all, he is his direct boss, that's it, anyway, he has already sent troops for reinforcements, what can he do with him?

Master Xue's decision brought him a fatal disaster in the future, always thinking about preserving his strength, but he turned a blind eye to the danger on the side of Madang Fortress, thinking that he was Lao Jiang's Huangpu protégé and the general of the Central Army, and there was no one in his eyes, and in the end he could only suffer by himself.

At the moment when Division Commander Xue rushed to the station of the 47th Division in Pengze County, there was already a rumbling of artillery in the direction of Madang, and the fire was in a mess, at this time, if he could immediately rush along the main road by the river, it was estimated that he should be able to rush to Madang Fortress in time to participate in the battle, but at this time, he was still confused, and did not make changes immediately, but after staying in the Pengze County garrison for a morning, he slowly led the team over after lunch, and everything was too late.

The Devil of Pota this time was out of the nest, not only with the main force of his detachment and the devils of the 11th Naval Squadron, but also received flank reinforcements from another Devil Brigade, this Devil Brigade from the north of Anqing along the land towards Madang Fortress pounced, the head was the devil's tanks and armored vehicles, and in the sky were groups of devil bombers flying over, and the devil soldiers marching below saw the bombers flying overhead, and they raised their hands high and shouted: "Onboard!" "A few little devils are even more crazy, taking off the steel helmet on their heads, throwing them into the air fiercely, dancing with their hands, getting carried away, and they can't be beaten!

The devil army that rushed up from the north of Anqing was something that Han Fei did not take into account, the troops on the side of Madang Fortress were a little insufficient, and now there was another devil force in the north of the land, Han Fei felt that this battle was becoming more and more dangerous, and he and the Jiangfang Corps would have to be surrounded by the devil heavy army around Madang Fortress!

Han Fei hurriedly reported the situation to Chief Chen, and when Chief Chen saw this, he became more and more anxious, and hurriedly found the commander of the Ninth War Zone, Chief Cheng, and said to him: "Old Cheng, Madang Fortress is in danger, I just received news from the front, and another Japanese brigade rushed towards Madang from the north of Anqing, so that there are more than 40,000 Japanese main forces near Madang Fortress, just relying on the Jiang Defense Corps and the 47th Division stationed in Pengze, the disparity in strength is too great, and it will definitely not be able to resist it, you hurry up and think of a way, Mobilize some troops to reinforce Madang, otherwise Madang will definitely not be protected! ”

"Brother Chen, don't worry, the theater command has also received this news, but you know that the current Wuhan battle is personally commanded and dispatched by the chairman of the committee, although Cheng is the commander-in-chief of the ninth theater, but when it comes to the transfer of troops of the Central Army, you have to ask the chairman for instructions." It turns out that Lao Cheng also has his difficulties.
