Chapter 863: Raising Talents
Just when Han Fei thought that the reinforcements were useless, Chief Chen was busy looking for people, he first found Chief Li and Chief Bai, and asked them to find a way to help, the central military can't count on it, then we will implore the local troops to take it first, Chief Li and Chief Bai are people who understand, no need for Chief Chen to speak, they also understand that once the Madang Fortress is lost, then Wuhan will definitely not be protected, although the **** troops have set up several defenses in Tianjia Town and other places, but they are of little use, and even Madang, where the terrain is so steep, cannot be defended, It would be hellish if Tianjiazhen and other places could hold it, so when they saw Chief Chen coming, they understood what was going on, and nodded and promised to help, but considering that the losses of the Gui army were not small, the old troops brought out from Guangxi were almost gone, and a new army had recently arrived in Wuhan, as long as Chief Chen could solve the problem of equipment and materials, he could give Chief Chen a division.
Chief Chen can be said to be hungry at this time, new recruits are recruits, anyway, Han Fei's kid has some ability, it is estimated that he can train it in his hands, and the weapons, equipment and materials are with Lao Song, if it is not a problem, pull the division of Guijun over first!
Lao Chi of the Northwest Army heard that Chief Chen had pulled people again, so he hurriedly rushed to recommend himself: "Chief Chen, how can you forget about us? Although we don't have many people left, we still have no ambiguity in fighting devils. ”
When Chief Chen saw that Lao Chi took the initiative to come to the door to ask for reinforcements, he was naturally overjoyed, and nodded: "Okay, General Chi is righteous enough!" I'll find a way to supplement you immediately, Lao Jiang once promised Han Fei to supplement, I'll go to the Military Command Department, give you the index that was supplemented to Han Fei's troops, and give you the personnel and equipment of a division, don't worry about military salaries, I'll solve it with Lao Song! ”
Lao Chi was moved, this is the first time he has encountered such a good thing, Chief Chen helped to replenish his team, and Mr. Song helped to solve the problem of materials, equipment and military salaries, which is equivalent to re-establishing a division for him, it is like his benefactor, what Lao Jiang can't ask for here, Chief Chen and Mr. Song have solved it here, so what else can he worry about, he directly pulled the broadsword team and the pistol team to reinforce Han Fei.
Lao Chi left a few cronies to reorganize and accept the recruit training team, returned to the station, pulled up the broadsword team and the pistol team and immediately rushed to Madang Fortress, the rest of these bigsword team and pistol team supplies Lao Chi still has stock, because in Xuzhou Taierzhuang, Han Fei once gave Lao Chi a lot of ocean, after arriving in Wuhan, the above allocated the military salary owed before, these days Lao Chi finally does not have to worry about the military salary, he knows, as long as Mr. Song comes forward, It is estimated that there will be no major problems in the future regarding the salary of his own troops.
The pensions of the fallen brothers under his command have been settled, the wounded brothers have also received good treatment and medical care, and the morale of the brothers who have received the military salary is very strong, I heard that they went to Madang to support Han Fei and they went, the brothers of the big knife team and the pistol team were all very excited, they felt that it was reliable to follow Han Fei to fight devils, under normal circumstances, as long as there were no major mistakes on their side, they should not suffer much loss, Han Fei's tactical methods are very suitable for the big knife team and the pistol team. They were originally born to surprise and harass the enemy, just imagine what it would be like to let these brothers with pistols and broadswords block the devils head-on on the battlefield?
Lao Chi did not choose to march by truck, but directly took a shortcut and came on foot, and his subordinate scouts found a few fellows who were familiar with the nearby terrain and asked them to come over with a detour to the mountain, taking a path that only people who go up the mountain to collect medicine know, which is very hidden, and will definitely be able to avoid the bombing of the little devil's plane halfway!
Just when Chief Chen was trying his best to find a way to reinforce Han Fei, a task force composed of the devil's fleet and the main force of the infantry rushed towards Xiangkou, the head of this devil's task force was called Botian, and half of the devil's infantry members were from Taiwan, which was occupied by Japan at that time, and was one of the Taiwan brigades formed by the Japanese at that time, of course, the officers were all Japanese, and the purpose of sending this task force by the Devil's Central China Dispatch Army was to take advantage of the characteristics of those Taiwanese in its troops who could speak Chinese. It is good to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters to deceive the defense of the Chinese army on the side of Madang Fort, and attack by land and water, and take down this dangerous barrier that blocks the westward advance of the main force of the devil!
The Botian detachment was divided into three roads, along the banks of the Yangtze River towards Xiangkou, his wishful thinking was to take Xiangkou first, and then along the main road on the shore to Peng Ze, with naval ships to contain Madang Fortress, after the main infantry force took Peng Ze, he attacked Madang Fortress from behind, so as to surround the main force of the Chinese defenders here in Madang Fortress, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop!
This plan is quite insidious, in fact, it is the old trick of the devil's commonly used frontal feint and outflanking on both sides, but this tactic is very effective against the Chinese army at that time, most of the Chinese army no matter how large its number is, how impregnable the defensive position is, but as long as the side is surrounded by the devil, the entire defense line will immediately collapse, the landing of the Japanese division in Hangzhou Bay on the Songhu battlefield is like this, and the Nanjing siege is also like this, only in the battle of Taierzhuang, Xuzhou, the Chinese army got rid of this spell and lured the enemy deep, surrounded and annihilated the Isogu Division that the lone army was deep in, but it was only this time, most of the main forces of the Chinese army on the battlefield were defeated by the little devils with this tactic, so the devil officers tried it repeatedly, and they took this tactic as a universal magic weapon, and they took it out and used it at every turn.
But this time the old devil of Botian didn't know that his opponent had been replaced by Han Fei, Han Fei had a way to deal with this tactic, and he didn't know one, he had already taught a lesson to the little devil in Taierzhuang, and Botian wanted to repeat this tactic here in Madang Fortress, so it was estimated that he would die miserably.
After Han Fei received a telegram from the scouts that a squadron of devils from the advance team of the Botian devils had arrived at a place only fifty miles away from Xiangkou, he was anxious, although the main force he brought was about to rush to Madang, but he was not familiar with the place, the Madang fortress was so big, the forts and fortifications were vertical and horizontal, intricate, and it would take a day or two to get familiar with the terrain. It seems that the difficulties encountered this time are even greater than those in Lianyungang and Taierzhuang, there is no way, Han Fei had to quickly order Haizi: "Start immediately, take over the defense of Xiangkou, and prepare to meet the devils."
