Chapter 211 There is no vanity under the fame!

Langfang, located in the east of central North China, borders Beiping in the north, Tianjin in the east, Cangzhou in the south, Baoding in the west, is located between the two major cities of Beijing and Tianjin, the hinterland of the Bohai Sea, and enjoys the reputation of 'Beijing-Tianjin Corridor' and 'Beijing-Tianjin Corridor and Bohai Rim'.

As the Jingzhao Special Zone of the Republic of China, it is undoubtedly also a military powerhouse. The defense of the area is also extremely important in times of war. At present, the North China Front naturally attaches great importance to the security here.

Earlier, he led his troops to attack the position and advanced to the 35th Army near Langfang. In this reconquest operation against North China, he also took on the important task of capturing this region. It can be said that it is also a kind of trust for the 35th Army.

Since the start of the battle, the 35th Army has also launched a fierce offensive against the various defensive positions deployed by the Japanese army. It's just that the effect doesn't seem to be obvious. Some positions were captured, but the advance of the troops was still slow.

Perhaps the Japanese also knew that the strategic location here was important. The order that Okamura Ninji gave to the defenders here was to block the attack step by step. In this way, the offensive of the 35th Army had to be stopped almost every distance it advanced.

Looking at the three Eighth Route Army Corps that launched an attack from the direction of Shijiazhuang, they have all made great progress, and they have successively recovered the two important military places of Shijiazhuang and Hengshui, and even the troops have advanced in the direction of Cangzhou.

Such a comparison of the results of the battle undoubtedly made Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the 35th Army, very angry. But he knew that the front-line troops had fought tenaciously. It can be said that the number of casualties every day makes Fu Zuoyi sometimes secretly heartbroken.

As it was incorporated by the Eighth Route Army, it is still the main force in the combat sequence of the National Army. Fu Zuoyi knows very well that he needs military exploits to prove himself, and he also needs military exploits to give those old subordinates some sense of security.

Although Yan Laoxi, who is now in the Jin Suijun, has served as the head of the Commercial Development Department of the Eighth Route Army, managing the commercial transactions of the Eighth Route Army. This errand also seemed to be very comfortable and satisfying for Yan Laoxi.

But no matter what, Fu Zuoyi knows very well that he is far from comparable with the other commanders of the Eighth Route Army in terms of qualifications and trust. Fortunately, the above seems to have a lot of trust in him.

It is this kind of trust that makes Fu Zuoyi want to make some achievements and tell those who trust him. He, the commander of the Jin Sui Army, can still fight, and he can still do some practical things for the country and the army.

Faced with the fact that the troops had tried their best, but the war could not achieve much breakthrough, Fu Zuoyi was actually very annoyed. Even if Mr. Zhu didn't urge, he also felt this invisible pressure.

Just after the General Staff sent him a telegram of the great victory in the air battle, also informing him of the news that Cangzhou had been attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Fu Zuoyi looked at the summoned generals and said with a headache: "Everyone think about it, how will this battle be fought next?" ”

Although the division commanders and regiment commanders of the 35th Army now have the same generals from the Eighth Route Army. However, in the 35th Army, the number of officers and soldiers from the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army still accounted for the vast majority.

These people also knew that joining the Eighth Route Army was a wise decision. But the more so, the more they want to make some achievements to show the above. Because of their achievements, they are likely to be further promoted in their positions.

Listening to Fu Zuoyi's inquiry, a division commander soon said, "Commander, why don't we ask the Air Force for assistance?" If the Air Force helps, we will be able to avoid going head-to-head with the little devils when we attack.

It's not that our troops don't work hard, but the number of troops deployed here by the little devils is much more than that of Shijiazhuang. Most importantly, most of these little devils we deal with have solid fortifications.

These days, the troops have been fighting hard. But not long after the advance, I had to gnaw hard bones again. If we continue to fight like this for a long time, I am afraid that the troops that we have just expanded will be almost consumed. ”

Although he was transferred to Mr. Zhu this time, he participated in the offensive of the North China Campaign. But in fact, many people in the 35th Army knew that their army was still under the command of the Northeast Field Army.

Compared with the other troops in the East Field, they all began to expand to columns. Today, the strength of the 35th Army is actually about the same as a column in Dongye. It can be said that they also participated in the North China Campaign on behalf of Dongye this time.

Regarding the division commander's suggestion, Fu Zuoyi shook his head and said: "Sending the air force to cooperate with the operation is only unlikely at this stage." In the telegram sent by Mr. Zhu earlier, he only said that he would send reconnaissance planes to provide battlefield reconnaissance in the future.

As for letting the Air Force carry out bombing, I'm afraid that such a thing is unlikely. Although we have gnawed a hard bone, this is not the trust of our superiors. Do we really have to give up? ”

Although Fu Zuoyi also knew that with the air force to cooperate in the operation, their attack would be relatively easy. But in this way, how will the other main forces feel? That unit, don't want the air force to cooperate in the operation?

Just when everyone was having a headache about how to break this deadlock, a confidential staff officer walked into the conference room excitedly and said, "Commander, Commander He just sent a telegram!" Secret! ”

'Well, show me it!' ’

As soon as he heard the telegram from He Zhengdao, Fu Zuoyi felt that this should be good news. Although the 35th Army was under the jurisdiction of He Zhengdao earlier. But all along, He Zhengdao did not interfere too much in the 35th Army.

It can be said that He Zhengdao gave Fu Zuoyi a lot of trust and freedom. For this young boss, Fu Zuoyi still admires him very much. Now that the 35th Army is in difficulty, He Zhengdao wants to come and provide some help.

Sure enough, after reading the secret message sent by He Zhengdao, Fu Zuoyi immediately said with a smile: "Okay! With this reinforcement coming to help, we should be able to relax a little bit next. ”

The people sitting in the conference room, listening to Fu Zuoyi's words, immediately said curiously: "Commander, will Commander He send reinforcements to help?" Aren't they now having to deal with the offensive of the Kwantung Army? ”

'There aren't many reinforcements, but they're all elite. Special Division, I believe I don't need to say more, you should all know that this is the sharp knife unit under Commander He. This time, he sent a regiment over to assist us in the battle.

In addition, there is a combat unit that has not yet been announced. After you go back, let the troops suspend the attack on the little devils, as long as they maintain enough suppression and persecution. When reinforcements arrive, we'll fight again.

As for the rest, I won't say much about it for the time being. When they come, I'm sure you'll know. Mr. Zhu's side has already given a death order. Within three days at the latest, our army must advance to Langfang to coerce Beiping.

To do that, we realize that we need to further strengthen the offensive next. After the divisions went down, they were ready for a general attack. And this time, Commander He sent us another batch of shells.

Among them, there is also a batch of special shells specially designed to deal with the little devil fortifications. Of course, not the poison * gas bomb you think. It's our arsenal, which has just produced not many special ammunition at present. ’

With Fu Zuoyi's explanation, Mr. Zhu's order was also read out. The generals of the 35th Army, although they felt the pressure in their hearts. But seeing that Fu Zuoyi seemed to be full of confidence, they were also a little relieved and looking forward to it.

On the other hand, the Japanese troops who fought against the 35th Army also looked exhausted after fighting in the past few days. Even if they succeeded in blocking the rapid breakthrough of the 35th Army, the consumption of troops and materials was also not small.

It was only in view of the strategic location and importance of Langfang that the North China Front also deployed a large number of defenders here. Only then did they grit their teeth and fight to the death, holding back the offensive edge of the 35th Army.

Now suddenly the thirty-fifth army was seen, slowing down the pace of the offensive. The Japanese troops, who had organized defensive operations on the front line, did not feel relieved, but were vigilant. They felt that there must be a conspiracy in this.

On the other hand, the special division, which received the order, quickly mobilized a regiment of elite troops. A detachment of sharp arrows, which also received an order, also secretly arrived at the position of the 35th Army on the front line in a rocket artillery vehicle.

For this current Eighth Route Army, the most motorized elite troops. From the moment they entered the 35 th Army Defense Zone, many officers and men knew that this was truly an elite unit that had survived a hundred battles.

Although I don't quite understand what is being pulled on those military vehicles covered with black cloth. But seeing Fu Zuoyi come out to greet him in person, everyone knew that this army was only afraid of a big future.

As soon as he arrived at the front headquarters of the 35th Army, the infantry regiment commander who led the team said: "Commander Fu, the Second Reconnaissance Regiment of the Special Division has been ordered to arrive. In order to get acquainted with the battlefield as soon as possible, I need to know the current situation on the front line.

In addition, I also asked Commander Fu to send a reconnaissance detachment to guide me, and I need to send some reconnaissance troops to infiltrate the enemy-occupied areas to find out the deployment of the little devils. After all, we have limited time now, and we must seize every minute of combat time! ”

'Don't you need a break?' ’

'Nope! We've been resting on Chaoyang's side for a while, and now the big guys are holding back their energy and want to the little devils! On the way here, we all took military vehicles, and we were not very tired. Let's get down to business first! ’

Seeing the commander of the Second Reconnaissance Regiment, he entered the combat state as soon as he came, and Fu Zuoyi didn't say much. He knew very well that the combat mode of this unit was still very different from theirs.

Although they were able to provide some information on the frontline imps, he believed that if these people made a move, they should be able to detect more valuable battlefield intelligence. After all, these people are all masters, and they can't be compared with ordinary troops.

Looking at the 2nd Reconnaissance Regiment that soon established the headquarters of the 35th Army. The 35th Army, which was expecting this unit to make a difference, also soon saw the reconnaissance efficiency of the 2nd Reconnaissance Regiment.

One by one, the Japanese army was hidden, and the positions of the defensive positions that had not yet been activated for the time being, as well as the deployment information of the Japanese army occupying some towns. As the reconnaissance detachments that infiltrated behind enemy lines arrived, they were also teleported back from the front line one after another.

Such a battlefield reconnaissance capability made the reconnaissance units of the 35 th Army embarrassed. I also know that this army is really a vain soldier under the prestige!
