[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 896: Serious Military Discipline (Ask for Subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

After reading the reports of the various troops, Ma Zheng was silent, he had already expected such a situation. After all, the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info lost so much territory and fought so many "lost battles", and it is certain that the soldiers feel uncomfortable.

What worries Ma Zheng the most is that because some grassroots cadres do not understand the strategic principles of the military region and are very dissatisfied with the continuous retreat of their superiors, after receiving the order of the division and brigade commander to retreat, they openly disobey orders on the battlefield and lead the troops to continue to hold their positions, causing considerable losses to the troops.

Moreover, this kind of thing is not an isolated phenomenon, it is common throughout the front line, some cadres are openly disobedient, and some are disobedient. It is not uncommon for people to not retreat immediately after receiving orders, and to delay for half an hour.

Ma Zheng was very worried about this kind of thing, and he also knew very well what the soldiers thought, after all, the Suicha Military Region had not suffered such a fiasco since its establishment. Usually only they conquer the city, how can a little devil bully them, so every soldier has a breath of arrogance in his heart.

In addition, they did not know the operational policy formulated by the military region, so such a thing as battlefield disobedience naturally appeared, and in their view, this was patriotism and defending the base area.

After thinking about it for a while, Ma Zheng sent a telegram to Xu Hu on the handling of He Ming, commander of the 1st Brigade, 2nd Regiment and 1st Battalion, on the battlefield disobedience.

In view of the seriousness of He Ming's battlefield disobedience, which caused heavy casualties to the Second Regiment and the heinous circumstances, the commander of the first battalion of the Second Regiment of He Ming was dismissed. He Ming was immediately sent back to the headquarters of the military region for investigation, and at the same time, Liu Deqing, commander of the Second Regiment, recorded a major demerit, and the whole army circulated a notice of criticism.

To be honest, this punishment is a bit heavy, but despite knowing this, for the sake of the victory of this war, Ma Zheng still reluctantly gave up this opinion. He wanted to make the whole army aware of the solemnity of military orders, and he would not allow anyone to change or trample on them at will.

The punishment was immediately sent to all military sub-districts and divisions and brigade-level units of the Suicha Military Region by the telegraph operator of the military region headquarters, and then the divisions and brigades conveyed it to the lower-level units. For a time, all the cadres and fighters of the entire Suicha Military Region felt the anger of the commander, and they did not dare to be careless about the orders issued by their superiors, especially those issued by the headquarters.

Although the situation at the front looked somewhat "erosive", Ma Zheng did not issue a new combat order. Because Ma Zheng knew that the battle plan formulated by the Israeli Military Region was already perfect, as long as the units strictly implemented it, the Japanese army would find that there would be fewer and fewer troops on the front line for the offensive at most, and more and more non-combatants responsible for caring for the wounded.

This Japanese attack should soon be transformed from a sortie to a defensive one, and when the Suicha Military Region is concentrating its forces to strike an all-out blow, then it is only a matter of time before the North China Front is defeated and retreated.

Although Ma Zheng did not give any new instructions, the troops on the front line did not panic, because Ma Zheng seriously and strictly handled He Ming's disobedience two days ago, so at this time, whether it was the troops on the front line or the newly formed troops in the rear, they all had a new understanding of Ma Zheng, the commander who had always been gentle and elegant.

Under the deliberate concession of Ma Zheng's headquarters, the Japanese troops gradually advanced into the hinterland of the defense area of the Suicha Military Region, especially the 35th and 33rd divisions of the Japanese army. The main force of the 35th Division fought fiercely with the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Division in Chicheng County, while the 10th Division fought to the death with the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division and the 3rd Brigade in Xuanhua County.

Xuanhua, Xuanhua District is located 28 kilometers southeast of Zhangjiakou, the capital of Chahar Province, which is an important link connecting Pingjin and Saibei areas, and is the southeast gateway of Zhangjiakou. Stationed in Xuanhua were the 1st and 3rd regiments of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division, as well as the brigade headquarters of the 3rd Brigade.

The 10th Division of the Japanese Army was the main force attacking the Zhangjiakou area, and although this was an attack in the coming day and had caused great losses to the 10th Division, the casualties of more than 2,000 people were not a blow to the bones for the 10th Division, which had a total strength of nearly 20,000.

Xuanhua Front.

"Brigade commander, the Japanese army is about to attack, it looks like today will be another tragic battle, I hope today's casualties will be smaller!" Chen Zhiheng, political commissar of the Third Brigade, said with a sigh.

In fact, in the past few days, the big guys have been talking about how many troops the Japanese army has lost, how many of them can return to the battlefield in a short period of time, and how many have completely lost their combat effectiveness, but everyone has deliberately avoided the casualties of the military region itself.

It is true that the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but the casualties of the Suicha Military Region were not small. The Third Brigade alone lost more than 2,000 men in the battle during this period, of which 800 were laid to rest on this land forever, and the remaining more than 1,000 wounded have been urgently sent back to Zhangjiakou for treatment.

Compared with the strong logistical support of the Japanese army, the Suicha Military Region was unable to produce medicines at this time and could not be compared with the Japanese army, so the healing rate of the wounded in the Suicha Military Region was far lower than that of the Japanese army. Therefore, less than one-third of the more than 1,200 wounded can really return to the battlefield in a short period of time, which means that in addition to the more than 800 people who died in the three brigades of the 10-odd days of fighting, there are about 800 wounded soldiers who cannot be rebuilt for the time being.

Shi Wenhu knew what Chen Zhiheng meant, but as one of the actual formulators of this military plan, Shi Wenhu knew much more than Chen Zhiheng, so although he was extremely distressed about the casualties of the troops during this time, he knew that he had to harden his heart and fight the Japanese army to the death.

Shi Wenhu picked up the water cup on the table and took a big sip, and then said with a fierce look: "Political commissar, no matter how big the casualties of the troops are, we must complete the orders issued by the superior leaders, according to the meaning of the division commander, Xuanhua must become one of the graves where the Japanese army is buried, although we don't need to defend Xuanhua, but we must let the Japanese army ambush millions of corpses under Xuanhua City, bleeding and drifting." ”

"Brigade commander, every soldier in our first brigade is the elite of the military region, so there is no need to say this kind of thing, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and we will definitely complete the orders issued by the superior leaders. But before that, we must pay attention to the casualties of the troops, which caused a one-fifth reduction in the number of troops in just a dozen days, and it is not known how long this battle will be fought, so it is still very necessary to preserve the strength. "Chen Zhiheng is reasonable.

I don't know what Shi Wenhu said about Chen Zhiheng, but now the entire military region must strictly implement the battle plan drawn up by Ma Zheng, otherwise these losses will really be in vain.

"Political commissar, what you said is also reasonable, but the group of little devils we are facing is not ordinary, they are the real elite of the Japanese army, in addition to mountain artillery and field artillery, there are also combat vehicles and tanks, we now have no other long-range firepower except for a mountain artillery battalion, and it is very difficult to reduce casualties."

Speaking of this, Shi Wenhu suddenly sneered and said: "But fortunately, Xuanhua has city walls and perfect city fortifications, and the people can be regarded as supporting us, the entire county has been turned into a giant fortress in the past two days, and we have no ......problem at all if we hold on for five or six days."

"Boom... Rumble... Boom..."

"Boom... Rumble... Boom..."

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside, and an overwhelming number of shells poured towards the county seat, followed by a low whimper!

Shi Wenhu's face changed, and he hurriedly said loudly: "It's the Japanese army's aviation, immediately lie down." ”

With that, he rolled down and hid under the tent of the temporary headquarters.

After hearing Shi Wenhu's roar, the other cadres and staff officers in the command tent also hurriedly hid under the table and under the marching bed.

However, there was still a staff officer who hid a little late, and was hit in the left arm by a piece of shrapnel that flew in from outside, and suddenly the whole left arm was bleeding, and it seemed that the shrapnel had cut the major artery.

Another staff officer hurriedly crawled over to help him stop the bleeding, and the guards outside the command tent immediately used machine guns to counterattack.

Fortunately, this time the Japanese air force only made a tentative attack, and only eight planes came, so the situation in Xuanhua City was not bad, although many places in the city are now full of smoke, and even some places are already in flames, but the situation is not as unbearable as imagined, at least some important military facilities have not been hit.
