Chapter 440: Trouble
"Although the boss stipulates that all the spoils of war must be handed over, and we have no right to distribute them, but we have the right to do it in a hurry, and this pass is to hit the commander, and we will take care of it." Sun Yi nodded.
"Li, Commander Li, we don't have a telegraph in our brigade." Xu Guangzong smiled bitterly.
"There's not even a telegraph, it's a real nuisance." Li Chunrun patted his forehead, for the convenience of command, so that different armies can transmit military information as soon as possible, the radio station of the Northwest Army has long been equipped at the regimental level. Later, in the Pingjin Campaign, due to the inconvenience of communication, the Northwest helped the 29th Army build a communication office at the division headquarters, not to mention how expensive the telegraph was, even if it was a miscellaneous army, it could afford to buy a telegraph, but professional spy personnel were not so easy to find. Military telegrams must be deciphered by the enemy, and must be controlled by highly trained professional spies.
"Immediately arrange the vehicle, transport Han Lianxi's men and horses as quickly as possible, you go back and tell your brigade commander, as long as you come to Xiongzhou Town, I will give him a complete set of all-day equipment, 38 big covers, crooked machine guns, Japanese heavy machine guns, grenadiers, 92-type infantry guns Lao Tzu will give him two. On Commander Sun's side, the commander of our 2nd Army will greet him, and it will be difficult for Commander Sun to refuse the request of the commander of our group army. Li Chunrun said.
"Brother Binpu, I think it's better for me to go to Baiyangdian in person. Even if it is carried in a sedan chair, then Dou Lianxi has to be carried over. Sun Yi also knew that this matter was very important, although the main force of the 16th Division was in Xiongzhou Town at this time, it would then face the main force of the 6th Division, regardless of the strength. or the firepower will be suppressed by the other party as never before. At this time, naturally, we can't let go of any opportunity to increase our strength.
"It's fine. Even if you pull it hard, you have to carry this Dou Lianxi to the town. Li Chunrun nodded.
"Brother Binpu, don't worry, the face of our Northwest Army, not to mention Dou Lianxi, even Sun Dianying, then you have to measure the cushion, carrots and sticks, I believe he knows how to choose." Sun Yi said with a sigh.
Nagai Tokugawa's wing was once again at the point of being divided. It caused a shock at the top of the Japanese army, and the previous Chiba Hirakawa Tank Wing and Muta Infantry Wing collapsed one after another. Unexpectedly, the battle from Shijiazhuang to Baoding had not yet begun, and now another multi-wing team was cut off by the enemy. What was even more dangerous than the previous Mutian Wing was that this time it was the Northwest Army that cut off and was responsible for besieging the Nagai Tokugawa Wing. A much more powerful force than the 29th Army. What shocked the Japanese top brass even more was that the breakthrough taken by the enemy was not elsewhere, but the town of Xiongkou, which they had carefully prepared. The loss of the town of Xiongkou not only led to the siege of Nagai's Tokugawa Wing, but also the loss of a large amount of ordnance and food, although it was only a small part of the material preparations of the North China Front, but it was captured by the enemy. This plus and one minus. It is enough to affect the course of the entire Baoding Shijiazhuang Campaign.
No matter how elite the 6th Division is, it will definitely not be able to win favor in front of Zhao Tieshu's group army, let alone the 29th Army. Such a motley unit as the 41st Army. At this time, the 8th Group Army led by Liu Zhi of Henan also entered Wen'an, Dacheng, and Qingxian in batches, and Shang Zhen's army was also stationed in Cangzhou, covering Zhao Tieshu's right flank, and a relatively complete front was formed.
Liu Zhi's 8th Army had 10th and 47th Cavalry Divisions, the 3rd Army and the 52nd Army, and the 32nd Army of Shangzhen in the rear. The combined strength is more than 8 divisions. In view of the fact that the troops in hand are not weak, and the back is leaning on Shandong, the rear road will not be threatened for a while, and the 2nd Army on the left flank is extremely strong to divide the Japanese army more than four brigades, Liu Zhi is also ambitious at this time to formulate a set of battle plans, in the face of the Japanese army's 6th, 14th, and 10th divisions advancing together, Liu Zhi took the initiative to command the troops to meet the Japanese army in front of him, these Japanese troops were first frustrated in Langfang and suffered a lot of losses, and then they were surrounded and annihilated by the 29th Army. It seems that it was blocked by Sun Dianying's 41st Army in Tianjin, and there were also certain losses. In North China, except for the Northwest Army, no force was stronger than his 2nd Army.
In fact, not only Liu Zhi thinks very highly of himself, but even Zhao Tieshu also has a high opinion of the head of the five tiger generals of the national * army, and the troops in the east are not weak, so Zhao Tieshu is relieved to withstand the pressure of the 6th Division and the 20th Division, and is determined to eat this Japanese army.
At this time, the Japanese army had dispatched troops in Northeast China, North China, and East China, and even in wartime, the battle between sea and land was not necessarily reduced by half. However, relatively speaking, the internal strife of the Republic of China is more serious, if it were not for the fact that the Japanese army was already so strong that it was difficult for all the powerful factions to parry, the local armies of the Republic of China would never have fought so together at this time. At this time, because of the arrival of a person in the northwest, the situation at this time seemed a little weird.
"Young Marshal, welcome to the Northwest!" Jiang Li led a group of officers to greet Zhang Xueliang at Lanzhou Airport.
"It turned out that Director Jiang personally greeted me, which really annoyed me."
Zhang Xueliang's complexion looks very good, it seems that although he is under house arrest in Nanjing, he has not been mistreated, and he thinks that Song Ziwen has a good relationship with him, and Zhang Xueliang also has some connections in Nanjing, although these people dare not disobey Chairman Jiang's will to release him, but it is still possible to let him live comfortably.
At this time, the Nanjing side verbally formed the northern camp, and Chairman Jiang took the lead this time as the director of the northern camp, and Jiang Li, Yan Xishan, and Zhang Xueliang were all deputy directors.
"Yes, a few years ago, I had to respectfully salute the young marshal. The past is unbearable, no matter what, in the face of the Japanese army, now I and the young marshal are in the same camp again. Young marshal, please come here, this time, madam, I and a group of old subordinates of the young marshal have prepared a reception banquet for the young marshal, and the young marshal has regained his freedom, so he has to celebrate it vigorously. Jiang Li made a gesture of please.
Zhang Xueliang nodded, and got into the arranged car with Yu Fengzhi and Miss Zhao Si, who came with him.
"Nanjing chose to release the young marshal back at this time, which is really well-intentioned." Glancing back at Zhang Xueliang who got into the car, Feng Zhanhai said meaningfully beside Jiang Li.
"Why, do you think that Zhang Xueliang is back, and we won't be able to merge the Northeast Army?" Jiang Li smiled slightly.
"Isn't it, I said Commander, now that Zhang Xueliang is back, the Northeast Army has a backbone again, more than 200,000 Northeast Army, if you work together, it is really a big potential threat to our Northwest." Feng Zhanhai Road.
"In the past, we spent all our efforts to save people, but now that people have been rescued, we have to worry about these things." Jiang Li shook his head. (To be continued.) )
