Chapter 862: Taking Over Defense
"Lao Chen is reasonable, although the Japanese invaders are rampant, but I don't think their stamina is not enough, such a long front is opened, and the logistics supply of more than one million Japanese invaders who rushed to China here is estimated to eat up the treasury of small Japan, although we have lost consecutive battles and lost land, but we still have the southwest and northwest and the Jianghan Plain here in the rear, as long as we can resist this wave of Japanese attack, then we will not lose the country, if we do not persevere, we will be able to get the support of all the countries in the world that sympathize with our Chinese war of resistance, In this way, there will be hope of victory in the war of resistance! Mr. Song seems to be very confident, this Chief Chen agrees very much, he also thinks that this battle of Wuhan is quite crucial, whether it is the end of the main force of the Japanese invaders or the beginning of the Chinese army to prevent the rout, it depends on the result of Han Fei and the other millions of Chinese troops near the Wuhan area against the Japanese invaders this time!
Haizi and their truck drove towards Xiangkou Town along the highway at a gallop, and there was no bombing by devil planes along the way, which was somewhat unexpected by Hai Zi, he originally thought that if he set off in broad daylight, there would definitely be devil planes coming to bomb, but this time it was very smooth, and it took less than three hours to rush to Xiangkou Town.
There is a big river opposite, the river is very wide, there is no bridge on it, from the map, it is a tributary of the Yangtze River, just around Xiangkou Town, the scouts got the news that there was originally a bridge on this river, but the defenders of Xiangkou Town blew it up, in order to prevent the devils from attacking from here.
"It's ridiculous, the devil blew up the bridge before he came, so that his own people couldn't get over, once the devil occupied here, all the garrisons in Xiangkou Town would be dumplings by the devil!" Haizi scolded dissatisfied.
"How many garrisons are there in Xiangkou Town?" Haizi asked the scout.
"There is only one battalion, of the Sixteenth Army." The Scout replied.
"Isn't it a regiment? Why is there only one battalion here? Haizi was taken aback, the information that Han Fei originally came to him was that there was a regiment stationed here, why is there only one battalion now, he doesn't think there are enough regiments, and there are only a few hundred people in a battalion, what can he do?
"Indeed, we also brought one of their officers." The scout waved his hand back, and an officer flashed out, Haizi frowned at a glance, and thought: You scouts are really, they are friendly soldiers anyway, how can they be like dealing with little devils, the officer's hat is gone, the weapon on his body has been confiscated, and even the armed belt around his waist has been withdrawn, standing there shivering in dodge. was pushed by the scout behind him: "What did our chief ask you about?" ”
"Who are you? Tell me what's going on with the garrison in Xiangkou Town? Haizi asked this officer, he was angry when he saw his nest appearance, if this kind of person was caught by the little devil, then wouldn't he immediately turn to the devil and become a traitor?
"Report, report to the chief, my subordinates are the deputy of the garrison battalion in Xiangkou Town, the 47th Division of the 16th Army, I don't understand why the commander wants to attack his own people, we are friendly troops?" As soon as this guy heard that Hai Zi was speaking Chinese and that the military uniform he was wearing was from the Central Army, he became bold.
"Didn't I ask you this, isn't there a regiment stationed in Xiangkou? How is it that now there is only one battalion there? And what about other troops? "Haizi is concerned about how many troops are stationed in Xiangkou Town, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that the defense situation on this side of Xiangkou Town is much worse than he imagined, a battalion of hundreds of men and horses, can hold Xiangkou, then it is really hell, the little devil has a fleet of naval guns on the river, and two groups of marines come up to attack left and right, Xiangkou Town will be finished immediately, who is the damn defense here, how can this be?
"Sir, we've been stationed here all along? Our regimental headquarters is in Pengze. The officer saw that Haizi's face was not good-looking, and he spoke even more tremblingly, in fact, Haizi had already understood, this is an old trick that has been played in the ****, that is, to falsely report the garrison, in fact, there is only one battalion here in Xiangkou, he reported a regiment, then he can get the supplies of materials and salaries needed by a regiment, and the extra money and materials will naturally fall into the pockets of those officials, and there are many people who make a fortune by these tricks. Originally, Haizi thought that he would not appear in the front-line combat troops, but he never thought that he saw this with his own eyes this time, if such a unit can win the battle, it will really be a hell of a life!
Haizi asked him about the position of Xiangkou Town and other information, waved his hand and asked his subordinates to escort him down, it was still useful later, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to send a telegram to Han Fei, telling him about the situation here, and asking Han Fei what to do next? A regiment has become a battalion, and even if the thirty-six special items he carries are all three-headed and six-armed, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold this place in Xiangkou Town?
After Han Fei received Haizi's telegram, he was angry and scolded: "Damn, it's time to dare to play this kind of trick, it's just a child's play to fight, tell Haizi, act immediately, take over the defense of Xiangkou Town, control that battalion, and wait for our main force to rush to Madang and then find a way to reinforce Xiangkou!" ”
Han Fei now has only the Jiangfang Corps on the side of Madang Fortress that can be mobilized, Han Fei understands that in the **** troops, he is not familiar with the place, and it is not easy to be able to mobilize the Jiangfang Corps for a while, and the special combat teams he follows are only a few hundred people, which is completely insufficient? It's better to rush to Madang Fortress first, and then talk about it with the Jiangfang Corps.
The area of Madang Fortress is very large, just the three-story fort has to be arranged with a lot of people and horses, Han Fei knew the embarrassment of not having troops at hand at this time, when the battle of Xuzhou, Chief Li and Chief Bai let him command more than 100,000 troops, and the big sleeves were used to it, and now there are no troops all of a sudden, Han Fei feels that this battle can't be fought, Lao Jiang wants him to hold Madang Fortress for a month, and refuses to give him command of the nearby Central Army troops, isn't this a deliberate trick?
Han Fei sent a telegram to Chief Chen, asking him to think of a way to get some reinforcements to the troops, but Chief Chen did not reply for a long time, Han Fei understood that Chief Chen could not do anything at the moment, he was now simply an idle position, the senior staff member had a nominal official rank, but he had no real power, he would ask you a few words when he was useful, and when he was useless, he would stay on the side and cool down, sometimes he was not as good as the combat staff officer in the headquarters, Lao Jiang's trick was ruthless enough, he was really a master of power and strategy, and at first glance, he was not at ease with Chief Chen and Han Fei!
