Chapter 1250 Each fights its own

"Commander, the battle in Huangcun is fierce, yesterday afternoon, with the support of the heavy artillery wing of the two wings of the Japanese army, the 38th Division received reinforcements this morning, and the four brigades took advantage of the night to launch a strong attack to recapture it again, and the two sides returned to the position at the beginning of the battle. www.biquge.info According to the intelligence we have obtained, it is speculated that the 38th Division has lost at least 2,500 men in battle, and the Japanese army has lost about 1,000 men in battle. In addition, in the early hours of this morning, two wings of the Japanese army in Fengtai attacked Nanyuan and were repulsed. The 132nd Division that moved to Nanyuan fought well, but even when the battle was fierce, General Tong Linge, who commanded the operation, did not contact us, I don't know what they thought. ”

Hu Jialin pointed to the map and finished speaking, motioned to the attendant to add water to An Yi, took out a cigarette and threw it to An Yi.

An Yi put the cigarette under his nose and smelled it, lit the cigarette, thought for a moment, and asked a little incredulously: "The generals of the 29th Army have never contacted us?" Yesterday, I cleared the airport and sent a telegram to Song Zheyuan, but I haven't received a reply so far! ”

Hu Jialin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No contact, Song Zheyuan called General Liu Jingfu in Shijiazhuang to ask for assistance with weapons and ammunition, but Liu Jingfu was worried about the six divisions that arrived on the battlefield one after another, and called me to say that all the materials at the Zhengzhou military station have been emptied, and there is no extra weapons and ammunition to supply the 29th Army. Now the three divisions led by General Wei Lihuang are driving from Mancheng to Yi County, Tang Enbo's Thirteenth Army has also left the Suicha line and quietly headed south, plus the eleven divisions of our Fifth Army, the entire battlefield has to count on the supply of Baoding Military Station, where can I help others at this time? ”

Zhang Chengzhu, deputy commander of the legion, shook his head and said helplessly: "It seems that the upper echelons of the 29th Army have guessed that Wanjia Town was the fire we lit, and maybe they are already full of resentment. However, the material reserves of the 29th Army should still be very abundant, judging from today's close observation of the situation on the battlefield in Huangcun, their firepower is very fierce, and there is no sign that weapons and ammunition cannot be supplied, although more than a dozen important county towns have been lost at once, and the strength of the troops is gradually decreasing, but the combat effectiveness of the main forces and various units is still there, and it is estimated that there is no place to ask us for the time being. ”

An Yi nodded and didn't speak, knowing that the war was logistics, twenty-nine cried poor, it was naturally good to be replenished, and if he couldn't get it, it also showed a posture of resisting the war to the end, and he knelt on the table again at the moment, staring at the map carefully.

On the Western Front, the 1st and 11th Mixed Brigades of the Japanese Army have already moved south from Miyun in two ways, and it is an indisputable fact that the two independent brigades of the 29th Army can hardly resist the Japanese army twice their size, and it is estimated that the two brigades of the 29th Army will retreat to Beiyuan and Xiyuan, which are important places outside Beiping, and it is a foregone conclusion that the 37th Division of Feng Zhi'an still occupies Wanping steadily, and it can more or less echo Zhao Dengyu's 132nd Division in Nanyuan, and although the Japanese army on the line from Fengtai to Changxindian has increased to 15,000 people, it wants to take Nanyuan immediately, it's not that easy.

On the other hand, the situation on the eastern front was worrying, and the commander of the North China garrison army, Kazuki Kiyoji, who could not let go of his old face, was also bold, and in just two days, more than 4,000 people were urgently recruited from among the Japanese overseas Chinese in Tianjin, plus more than 2,300 people from the Tanggu garrison brigade and a transport brigade, which were quickly replenished to the red-eyed 20th Division, and the line from Wuqing to Langfang was taken over by the 10th Division of the Japanese army, which had just arrived; Tangshan had been lost under the attack of the Japanese Fifth Division and the 109th Division, the 5th Division took advantage of the situation to advance into Tianjin, and the 109th Division attacked from east to west, all the way to Beiping.

At present, a brigade of the 9th Cavalry Division of the 29th Army has reinforced, Daxing Huangcun, and the 109th Division of the Japanese Army will attack the eastern suburbs of Beiping without any resistance, and Xianghe, which is of great strategic significance, has already been under the compromise of the Political Affairs Committee a year ago, and under the control of the two divisions under the command of the great traitor Yin Rugeng, the Japanese army in Tianjin no longer has any worries, as long as it defeats Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division stationed on the outskirts of Tianjin, it will directly face the units of Hu Jialin's Fifth Army.

What bothers An Yi and the generals of the Fifth Army Corps now is that they have taken the initiative to contact Song Zheyuan by telegram for several days, but they have not received any reply, and at this critical time, it is impossible for the units of the Fifth Army Corps, who are eager to fight, to cross the defense areas of the 29th Army and directly enter the battlefields without Song Zheyuan's permission. Before An Yi left Lushan, Chiang Kai-shek also made a special reminder on this, asking An Yi and the Fifth Army to respect Song Zheyuan, who had been appointed deputy commander of the First Theater and commander of the First Army.

Now that the strength of the Japanese army in North China has increased to 130,000, and there are still six divisions and four independent mixed brigades on their way to North China, within two weeks, the number of troops that the Japanese army has put into the front line in North China will reach 310,000, and in addition, we must give full consideration to the Kwantung Army, which has been rapidly expanded to 680,000 troops.

In order to echo the North China battlefield, the Kwantung Army has dispatched two divisions and three brigades to advance rapidly on the Suiyuan battlefield, once these more than 70,000 men and horses repel the Jin Sui Army led by Fu Zuoyi, it is completely possible to divide a part to quickly move south and take Datong directly, Yan Xishan, who has just announced his appointment as commander of the Second Theater of Operations, will definitely go crazy, and the three divisions of the Shang Zhen Division, which is resting and replenishing in Shijiazhuang, can only give up reinforcing the North China battlefield and turn around to rescue the first line of northern Jin and eastern Jin, and at that time, the pressure on North China will be extremely huge.

An Yi was very worried, due to the great threat facing East China, he did not dare to transfer the 24th Army to the north, and now the front line in North China can only command the Fifth Army to fight, and then it is to negotiate with Wei Lihuang and Tang Enbo, who have always maintained close contact, Liu Zhi, the commander of the Second Group Army, will not be able to arrive in Baoding until noon tomorrow, and if he wants to use the divisions of the Central Army under Liu Zhi's name, he has to wait for Liu Zhi to arrive, but now the battle situation is changing rapidly, the decline has appeared, and if he does not take the initiative to attack, what is the point of coming to North China? Since the Twenty-ninth Army is full of grievances, then let them fight for themselves, how can the Fifth Army sit and wait!

Hu Jialin, Zhang Chengzhu, Huang Zhi and other generals saw An Yi staring at the map, without saying a word, and they were embarrassed to interrupt his thinking, and the entire headquarters was filled with smoke and silence.

An Yi, who was mature and thoughtful, raised his head: "Huzi, Brother Zhang, let's return to Baoding immediately and invite Wan Fulin and Pang Bingxun's seniors, we can't wait any longer!"

"In addition, Lu Yixuan and Yang Jiuxiao were ordered to immediately harass the Japanese 10th Division stationed on the line from Wuqing to Langfang, and all the special brigades of each division should be dispatched, and the special service companies of each brigade should also actively cooperate, and if necessary, the mortar battalions of each brigade could also be dispatched, and take advantage of our army's mobility and flexibility to knock out all the sentry posts, patrol troops and vehicles along the way of the 10th Division's distribution by means of uninterrupted sneak attacks and surprise attacks, blow up railways and bridges, and deal a possible big blow to the 10th Division. We absolutely must not allow the 10th Division to divide its troops to support the 20th Division, which is attacking Daxing, and strive to transfer the main forces of the 5th Division and the independent brigade of the North China Garrison Army to the front of our 17th and 40th Divisions, so as to open up the battlefield from Wuqing to Langfang and relieve some of the burdens on the brothers of the 29th Army. ”

Hu Jialin and Zhang Chengzhu showed smiles on their faces, and quickly gave An Yi's order, and the surrounding generals were in high spirits, knowing that the big war was coming, and they finally waited for the opportunity to perform after several years of hard training.

Huang Zhi, chief of staff of the corps, leaned towards An Yi: "The commander invited the two army commanders Wan and Pang to Baoding, do you plan to launch an attack from the south of Tianjin?" ”

"Yes, we can't wait any longer, we must attack the Japanese army in Tianjin with a resolute and fierce offensive, Li Jinlong's 68th Division must be quickly transferred behind the 17th and 40th Divisions, and Xiao Wu's armored assault brigade must also be put into the Eastern Front. My plan is that one day today and one night tonight, the special brigades and machine gun battalions of the two divisions on the front line will immediately carry out accurate and flexible special strikes against the Japanese troops on the line from Wuqing to Langfang, and then let the main forces of the two divisions launch a fierce attack on the whole front, and then at night tomorrow, they will take advantage of the surprise attack advantage of the Xiaowu Armored Brigade to storm Langfang, and strive to take down this important strategic point of Langfang, and then immediately storm the rear of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army without stopping, so as to reduce the burden on the friendly forces in Huangcun. As long as Langfang is taken, the strategic focus of the North China battlefield will be shifted to the Eastern Front, and we no longer need to look at Song Zheyuan's face. An Yi spoke his thoughts in detail.

Huang Zhi thought for a while and said with a smile: "As long as our army is launched, no matter whether Langfang can be captured or not, the Japanese army in Tianjin will have to reinforce it, and maybe the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, which is rushing towards Beiping at high speed, will also be mobilized by the way, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the 29th Army." However, the subordinates think that the commander has a follow-up trick, right? Otherwise, how could Wan Fulin and Pang Bingxun be urgently summoned to Baoding to discuss? ”

Zhang Chengzhu said quite worriedly: "I am worried that General Wan Fulin is unwilling to attack Tianjin, only two divisions under his command are the main divisions, and a supplementary division can only be used temporarily as a civilian worker transporting ammunition and materials, but General Pang Bingxun stationed in Cangzhou is not a problem, General Pang and his generals are very grateful to the commander for his care in the past two years, the three main divisions were all reequipped half a year ago, and after half a year of hard training, their combat effectiveness has been significantly improved, and in the past few months, they have conducted three brigade-level confrontation exercises with our 17th Army. The relationship with each other is harmonious, and the relationship is increasing day by day, and I estimate that as long as the commander says a word, General Pang's 40th Army will move north. ”

An Yi smiled: "Brother Zhang, what do you think Wan Fulin's predecessors want to get now?" ”

Zhang Chengzhu thought for a while: "It is estimated that the change of equipment and military salary have been supplemented, only one of his three divisions has completed the equipment change, and the 10,000 people added three months ago to supplement the division are not within the sequence of the Military Commission, and the weapons and equipment used are all eliminated by the main division, and the pressure on materials and military salaries is very great, if this problem can be solved for him, it is estimated that he will cooperate." ”

"Brother Zhang really saw the weakness of the 53rd Army clearly, hehe! What do you think of the fact that I immediately give him a division number, allocate him a special subsidy of 1 million oceans from the Baoding Military Station, and then ask the commission to give him an order? An Yi asked the brothers with a smile.

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Chengzhu laughed loudly: "In this way, he must rush faster than General Pang." ”

An Yi nodded: "Okay!" Senior Brother Huang, you, the chief of staff, will stay here and temporarily assume the overall command, Hu Zi and Brother Zhang, let's return to Baoding immediately. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Zhi hurriedly called An Yi: "Has the Air Force arrived?" If General Zhou Zhirou had only been stationed at the two brigades at the Zhaqingyuan Airport and the Kaifeng Airport to cooperate, it would have been difficult for him to gain air supremacy. ”

An Yi explained: "It's okay, when I arrived in Baoding, I asked General Zhou Zhirou to fly in person." He is now returning to Taiyuan to discuss with General Yan Baichuan the issue of coordinated operations of the air force, and another attack aircraft group will be stationed at the Taiyuan airfield tomorrow; as long as the fight starts, we will still have air superiority within three days, and the Japanese army will not be able to reflect it three days later, so we must seize the opportunity of these three days and fight it well, and the entire North China battlefield will turn from passive to active. ”
