Chapter 2 Choosing an entry point
From the first meeting of the two. talked about the natural combination of the two, Gao Quan did not hide it at all, nor did he have any scruples, and told all the past events between him and Hong Yingying roughly.
During this period, Tang Wenjuan watched him quietly until Gao Quan finally talked about Hong Yingying serving as a colonel in his army.
Gao Quan is very satisfied with Tang Wenjuan's performance, in the end, she is worthy of being an intellectual young woman, neither looking for death nor life, nor crying and despair, and her performance has always been very calm, which shows that people are very open to this kind of thing! This also saves Gao Quan from having to bear a psychological burden before leaving.
"When will you and Sister Hong get married?" After Gao Quan finished speaking, he was about to say two more words and leave, who knew that after Tang Wenjuan listened calmly, he actually asked such a sentence.
"Oh, the war is not over yet, and we haven't had time to have a wedding yet." This is also normal, it is very popular in this era to beat away the devil and get married. However, Gao Quan was so surprised that Tang Wenjuan was so neat that she called Hong Yingying Sister Hong, so much so that she almost didn't say anything about it.
Tang Wenjuan's eyes rolled, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on her face, "You are not married yet!" That means you're still an unmarried man. Sister Hong and I have equal chances! If you're with me now, I'll have the upper hand! Well, you're leaving tomorrow anyway, so let's get married today! ”
When Gao Quan heard this, his eyes were immediately stunned! This is the new woman? Swallowing hard, Gao Quan's face was full of wry smiles, "Wen Juan, I have already said that the Anti-Japanese War is not over, and I will not get married." Besides, Yingying and I already have a husband and wife, and I will not abandon Yingying. Gao Quan had a sentence in his heart, if he dared to abandon the red peony and marry another, Colonel Hong would be angry, but it was not for fun! Don't look at Tang Wenjuan in the capital, who can guarantee that the red peony will not sneak into Chongqing and give this rival a dart?
"The whole brother is affectionate, and the little sister admires it." After Tang Wenjuan said this sentence with a serious face, her complexion changed again, and she once again showed that sly smile, "Since you said that you will not get married before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, then you must not secretly marry Sister Hong or other women!" Speaking of this, his face turned into a pitiful look of grievance again, "I'm like this, not only can't I go to the front line with you, but I can't even send you tomorrow." I will be waiting for you until the day when the Anti-Japanese War is over. ”
In the face of such old-fashioned lines, Gao Quan was also a little moved in his heart, but what could he say? In desperation, he had to comfort Tang Wenjuan a few more words, and escaped from the ward as if he had escaped.
Out of the hospital, looking at the clear sky, although Chongqing in summer was extremely hot, Gao Quan still breathed a long sigh. Finally, he doesn't have to face that elf and weird girl, he can finally return to the front line and fight with his comrades to fight the devils!
In September of the 28th year of the Republic of China, Okamura Ninji, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, dispatched about 100,000 people from the 101st, 106th, 33rd, and 6th Divisions, as well as three brigades, from the Xianning area of Yueyang to launch a large-scale attack on our Ninth Theater. General Xue Yue, acting commander of the Ninth Theater and known as the "tiger boy," mobilized 49 divisions of the 21st Army and 300,000 troops of three advance columns to meet the battle, and hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides launched a large-scale fierce battle on the shore of the 800-mile Dongting Lake.
Gao Quan first took a plane from Chongqing to Laohekou. After meeting with the commander at the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater, he rushed all the way back to Suixian from Laohekou, where the 500 divisions were stationed. The weapons and equipment issued by the Central Military Commission to the 500 divisions have been formally transferred.
In order to show his love for this student, the principal also specially added 1,000 recruits to Gao Quan. Gao Quan went to support the brother theater on behalf of the Fifth War Zone, and in order to save face for the Fifth War Zone, Chief Li assigned Gao Quan three companies of the Gui Army. In addition, Wang Dazhu, Qian Sixi and others recruited troops well, and during Gao Quan's visit to Chongqing, they recruited troops on a large scale in the surrounding counties and towns. The current 500 divisions have once again been restored to the size of a first-class division of nearly 20,000 people.
The ancient city of Yueyang is located at the confluence of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River, and its northeast is Yunxi. The Japanese 6th Division was assembled in the area between Yueyang and Yunxi. On 18 September, the Japanese Sixth Division gathered about 50,000 men from the Kamimura Detachment and the Nara Detachment to launch an attack on our defenders' positions north of the Shinqiang River.
Defending the Xinqiang River was the 15th Army led by General Guan Linzheng. The 52nd Army was attacked head-on by superior Japanese forces, and after successively losing important strongholds of Yan'an, Majiayuan and other advance positions, the 52nd Army was forced to withdraw south of the Xinqiang River and defend against the river. When General Guan Linzheng saw the crisis on the Xinqiang River front, he immediately left one division of the 37th Army defending Xiangyin to defend Yingtian, and the rest of the troops were all pulled to the south bank of the Xinqiang River to reinforce and assist in the defense.
The Japanese concentrated more than 80 heavy artillery pieces and bombarded the positions of our defenders on the other side of the river, and after the artillery fire was extended, the devils, under the command of Shiro Inaba, forcibly crossed the Shinqiang River from near Qibutang. The defenders of our 15th Group Army bravely resisted, and the two sides launched a fierce tug-of-war of attack and defense on the Xinqiang River.
The order given by Commander Xue of the Ninth Theater to the 500th Division was to assist the 15th Group Army along the Xinqiang River, but when Gao Quan was halfway there, the 52nd Army had already been driven across the Xinqiang River by devils! That is to say, Gao Quan and his 500 divisions, even if they march day and night now, when they arrive at the north bank of the Xinqiang River, they will not see the shadow of the 52nd Army, there is only one division and two other detachments on the north bank of the river, and 50,000 fully armed elite devils!
asked 500 divisions and these 50,000 devils to rush across the Xinqiang River, Gao Quan was not so crazy. Now all he has to decide is, where is the entry point to join this conference battle? The order given to him by Chief Xue was undoubtedly lagging behind, and wanting to help defend the Xinqiang River had become a joke. But since he himself asked to come to fight with the Sixth Division, now that he has turned around and returned to the Fifth War Zone, it is even more impossible!
Gao Quan held the topographic map of the east bank of Dongting Lake, held a red and blue pencil and carefully marked the strategic layout of the enemy and us on the map, and was thinking in his mind, where to choose this entry point? Is it right now to lead the whole division to march in a hurry, rush to the north bank of the Xinqiang River, and stab him from behind while the devils are fighting with Guan Linzheng? Or do you want to find a different place, open the meat first, and sacrifice the knife?
Observing the entire battlefield along the Xinqiang River front, northern Jiangxi and southern Hubei are too far away, and if you take a long detour, not only will it be too far away from Commander-in-Chief Xue's order, but there will also be too many numbers of troops on both sides of the two battlefields, and it is easy to get caught in a melee. And here in the New Wall River, the devils have concentrated heavy troops. It's one thing to hate the Sixth Division, it's another thing to be able to beat it, and if a division of more than 10,000 people of his own sneak attack is behind it, can it succeed? Gao Quan is not sure at all, but don't go to the end, stealing chickens and rice will not be a good thing, that is not a good thing.
