Chapter 107: Xinkou Battle Meeting
After the meeting, Jiang came to Meiling Palace, sat in the study and looked at the map on the wall, not knowing what he was thinking, at this time, a maid came to knock on the door and said, "Sir, General Bai Chongxi asks to see you." โ
When Jiang Intermediary heard this, he stood up and said, "Let him come to the study to see me." โ
Bai Chongxi came to the study, and Jiang said with a smile, "Why did Jiansheng come to visit late at night?" โ
Bai Chongxi sighed and said, "Commission, I couldn't sleep in bed after the meeting, so I came to the commissioner to tell me what I thought." โ
Jiang Intermediary became serious when he heard this, and said, "Jiansheng might as well speak up." โ
Bai Chongxi looked at the map of the Shanghai area on the wall of Jiang and said, "Commission, if the Japanese army really wants to land on the right flank of our army, our army will be in danger of being attacked from two sides, and we will definitely lose the battle of Shanghai, so I suggest that from now on we should consider retreating." โ
When Jiang Intermediary heard the retreat, he felt a little upset, and he was particularly upset, and said, "Can't you hold on a little longer?" There is already rumor that the League of Nations is going to consider our problems, and as long as we hold on a little longer, and the League of Nations intervenes, we can get international assistance. โ
Bai Chongxi looked at Jiang Intermediary who was still thinking about international aid, and couldn't help but say anxiously, "Commission, if you don't prepare, it's too late, if we are really flanked and we can't withdraw, this is the main force of 75 divisions and more than 700,000 people." โ
Jiang Zheng couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought about these hundreds of thousands of descendants, so he said: "Then let's do it, you draw up a retreat strategy, in case of emergency, so as to protect our main force from being completely annihilated." โ
- Taiyuan Zhou Guansheng and Mr. Zhu couldn't help but sigh when they looked at the new information. Mr. Zhu said, "If you say this, Miss Yu is still arrested, and Xiao Jiang will definitely do something out of the ordinary." โ
Zhou Guansheng stood up and turned around a few times and said, "Xiao Jiang, if you are alone, something will happen." We have to help him. โ
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "It's best to let our comrades in Shanghai and Xiao Jiang take over." โ
Zhou Guansheng nodded the table and said, "I will be responsible for this matter, Xiao Jiang does not belong to this era, he can enjoy a peaceful life at ease, and he can make money and leave in our era, but for the sake of our country and nation, he has been helping us for free, and it is time for us to help him." "At this time. The guard knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Zhu, it's time for a meeting." โ
Mr. Zhu stood up and said, "Then I'll go to the combat meeting first, you have to worry about Xiao Jiang's affairs." โ
Zhou Guansheng waited for Mr. Zhu to leave. wrote a telegram to the guards outside, saying, "Send a telegram to Yan'an immediately." โ
Mr. Zhu came to the conference room, and at this time, Xinkou had concentrated most of the combat strength of the Second War Zone, which was divided into three parts, namely the Central Army, the Right Wing Army and the Left Wing Army. Mr. Zhu was elected commander of the Left Wing Army.
After everyone sat down. Yan Xishan said first: "Let's talk about the current battle situation first. โ
Yang Aiyuan said: "Now, after Seishiro Itagaki and Hideki Tojo join forces. Hideki Tojo handed over all three of his brigades to the commander of Seishiro Itagaki on the grounds that he was not good at fighting formations, and in front of us was an army of about 60,000 men composed of four brigades. Now that the vanguard of the enemy army has broken through Dai County and is about to reach Lao County and Yuanping, the 196th Brigade and the 7th Independent Brigade are now stationed in Lao County and Yuanping, and they are holding on to the two places to buy time for us. โ
Wei Lihuang asked, "How long can these two troops resist?" โ
Yang Aiyuan said, "We are giving the order to defend to the last person, and we can fight for at least a week." โ
Yan Xishan got up and said, "Datong guard general Li Fuying has been shot by me, from now on." Whoever dares to retreat without a fight is an example. โ
Fu Zuoyi frowned, got up and said, "Chief Yan." This Li is not in accordance with-"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yan Xishan's eyes as if he was about to eat people, and Fu Zuoyi swallowed the words stiffly.
Everyone knows that this Li Fuying is just a scapegoat, but at this time, where will anyone speak for a dead man. Only Fu Zuoyi, who has brotherhood with Li Fuying, is secretly sad.
Yan Xishan motioned for Yang Aiyuan to continue speaking.
Yang Aiyuan continued: "The deployment of our army is as follows: with the Eighth Route Army, the 73rd, 101st, and the newly formed 2nd Division as the right wing army, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Zhu, occupy and defend the Wutai Mountain-Yukou line, with the purpose of attacking the enemy's left flank and outflanking the enemy's rear at the same time; With the 14th Group Army, the 9th, 15th, 17th, and 19th Armies, the 196th Brigade, and the 27th Artillery Regiment as the Central Army, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Wei Lihuang, it was stationed at the main position in Xinkou; With the 68th, 71st, and 120th Divisions, the 7th Independent Brigade, and 3 artillery battalions as the left flank army, commanded by the contemptibles, it was stationed on the line from Heiyu Village to Yangfangkou; With the 34th, 35th, and 61st Armies, the 66th Division, and the 1st and 3rd Independent Brigades as the general reserve, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Fu Zuoyi, it is located in the area of Dingxiang and Xinxian to respond to all parties. The commander-in-chief of this battle was General Wei Lihuang. โ
Wei Lihuang stood up and said, "The purpose of this battle is very simple. Taking advantage of the favorable terrain of Xinkou, he first resisted the attack of the Japanese army, and after the Japanese army was exhausted, the left and right flank armies outflanked it and wiped out all the 50,000 Japanese troops in the Yunzhong River Valley. โ
Yan Xishan got up and said, "In this battle, we have concentrated more than 200,000 main forces, and we must not lose if we win." Does Commander Zhu have any other opinions? โ
Mr. Zhu raised his fingers and said, "I'm just one, what should I do in the direction of the lady?" The Japanese army has already captured Shijiazhuang, and once it enters Niangzi Pass in the west, our army is in danger of being flanked. โ
Yang Aiyuan said with a smile, "We have already considered this question, Sun Lianzhong's 26th Route Army, Feng Qinya's 27th Route Army, Zeng Wanzhong's 3rd Army and Zhao Shoushan's 17th Division will be stationed on the front line of Niangzi Pass, under the command of Commander Huang Shaohong, who is about to Jin. With these elite soldiers and good generals, and the location of Niangzi Pass, it is difficult for the Japanese army to come in. โ
Mr. Zhu was almost amused by this sentence, the 17th Division and the 3rd Army are both central armies, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, but the 26th Army and the 27th Army are the original Northwest Army and the Northeast Army, and the heavy firepower of these two troops together does not know if there is more than a brigade of the Japanese army, as for the commander-in-chief Huang Shaohong, although he is one of the three giants of the Gui family. But what he is better at is political strategy, not to mention letting a Gui family command the three troops divided into the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army and the Central Army, Mr. Zhu is really not optimistic. How could a bare-bones commander command these proud soldiers?
Mr. Zhu got up and said, "I still have a request." Everyone knows that our Eighth Route Army is good at guerrilla warfare and movement warfare behind enemy lines, so I hope that Commander Yan will allow us to carry out guerrilla warfare in various places. โ
Yan Xishan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, he was naturally reluctant to let the Japanese come in, after all, the Japanese wanted his territory and his life, but he was unwilling to fight guerrillas all over Shanxi, and no one in the world knew that the vitality of the Red Party was stronger than the weeds. God knows whether this Shanxi will be his Yan Laoxi or the Red Party at that time.
Mr. Zhu saw Yan Xishan hesitate and continued, "Everyone knows that the Japanese army is menacing, and the soldiers are strong and strong. However, the bigger the monster, the more food it needed, and the Battle of Pingxingguan has proven the reliability of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and if our army is not on the frontal battlefield, it can cut off the logistics line to attack the Japanese army. It is difficult for the Japanese army to be undefeated. โ
Yan Xishan gritted his teeth and said, "That's it." In Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army must obtain the approval of the headquarters to fight guerrilla warfare, but in enemy-occupied areas, you can move freely. โ
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Okay, our Eighth Route Army will definitely not be disappointed by your colleagues." โ
After the meeting, Mr. Zhu returned to Yuci and convened everyone to start a combat meeting.
After listening to Mr. Zhu's relay, Mr. Peng said: "The main forces of the little devils are all concentrated in Xinkou. Then the rear will be empty, and I think we can drive our troops behind enemy lines. โ
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "I also have this opinion." I propose that the 120th Division go to the direction of Yanmen Pass to attack the Japanese logistics troops in the direction of Yanmen Pass and carry out guerrilla warfare, and the 115th Division should go to the direction of Pingxingguan, which is Lin Sanhu's old place, and I believe that he will definitely be able to fight Pingxingguan three times, and finally the 129th Division, I am ready to let the two regiments of the 129th Division stay in the front, and the two regiments will go around behind the enemy to do raid and harass combat work. โ
Mr. Peng nodded and said, "This method can be used, with the current strength of our army and the favorable terrain of Yanmen Pass and Pingxing Pass, I see that the logistics soldiers of the Japanese army will have to endure hardships again." โ
Zuo Quan smiled and said, "If the devil dares to come, we will go behind them and kick his ass, according to Lin Sanhu's example, if it doesn't work, the army will be expanded after we finish fighting." โ
Speaking of the expansion, Mr. Peng couldn't help but hum, "Chairman Jiang is stingy, just give it to three divisions, I think I have to think of ideas to expand the organization." โ
Mr. Zhu shook his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that, in addition, this time, there are 73, 101 and the new second division to cooperate with us to fight, I communicated with them before I came, they are mainly responsible for guarding the Wutai Mountain area, which is all mountainous areas, and the main force of the devils will not choose here, it is enough to have them." The real key is still the Wei Lihuang troops in the middle. โ
On the other side, Wei Lihuang was also making the final deployment of his middle route army, and decided to defend Liu Maoen's 15th Army in the right flank mountain, because it was expected that there would not be too many Japanese troops attacking here, and 1 miscellaneous army would be enough.
The middle route was held by Hao Mengling's 9th Army of the Central Army, Chen Changjie's 61st Army of the Jin Sui Army, and Gao Guizi's 17th Army, which were under the unified command of Hao Mengling.
The left flank was defended by the 14th Army of the Central Army Li Mo'an, the 2nd Army of the Jin Sui Army Guo Zongfen, and the 19th Independent Brigade of Meng Xianji of Wang Jingguo's 19th Army, and Li Mo'an was in charge of command.
At the same time, there were 8 artillery regiments of the Jin Sui Army, all of which were placed in the middle of the Japanese army's main attack!
At this time, the total strength of the national army on the central front line in Xinkou was as high as more than 80,000 people, more than 200 artillery pieces, and dozens of aircraft. In addition, Yan Xishan threw a lot of money to reward the army, and the morale of the whole people was high, and he was determined to fight to the death.
Itagaki who didn't know that the situation had changed, ordered the vanguard troops to advance rapidly, and the troops stationed in Laoxian County and Yuanping did not dare to run away at all after getting Li Fuying's head, this Li Fuying was as early as the 7th year of the Republic of China and Fu Zuoyi and other 12 people married Jinlan, known as the veteran of the thirteenth Taibao of the Jin Sui Army, and he said that he would kill him, and his little life was probably not worth anything in the eyes of Chief Yan, and it seemed that he could only fight to the death. As for surrender, the Jin Sui army has always been treated well, and the style of the warlord troops is that if they do not surrender at the top, they will fight to the death at the bottom. The top wants to surrender, and the bottom immediately raises his hands and kneels.
Therefore, Itagaki's trip to Xinkou did not go smoothly from the beginning. In order to speed up the battle, Itagaki ordered the 15th Brigade and the 2nd Brigade to attack Laoxian and Yuanping at the same time.
First, the two regiments of the Seventh Independent Brigade of the Lao County Defenders held on for three days and three nights. After the Japanese army destroyed the city wall of Laoxian County through heavy artillery bombardment for 6 hours, it barely entered Laoxian. After Liu Liangxiang was killed by Japanese artillery in a fierce battle, another regiment commander, Shi Huanran, immediately took over the command and vowed not to retreat. Until he was killed by a bomb being hit. The Japanese army broke through the county seat.
Itagaki looked at the ruined Lao County, and thought to himself, this is probably a special case, after all, whether it is Datong or Pingxing Pass or Yanmen Pass, there is no such thing as the defenders fighting to the last soldier, but the 196 Brigade of Jiang Yuzhen, the defender of Yuanping, made Itagaki's heart full of unease.
The combat effectiveness of this brigade is good in the Jinsui army, and it is a strong force of the first class. And the brigade commander Jiang Yuzhen is a native of Heze, Shandong. He fought very bravely and was a famous general of the Jin Sui Army. Under his leadership, the 196 Brigade first relied on the city walls in this town to resist for three days.
THE CITY WAS FINALLY DESTROYED UNDER THE BOMBARDMENT OF DOZENS OF PLANES AND DOZENS OF GUNS ABOVE 75MM. But Jiang Yuzhen lived up to the name of a brave general, in order to buy time for the Xinkou defenders behind, he gritted his teeth and led the troops to use machine guns, and the watermelon mine held the gap for four days and four nights. Until there are too many notches. The 196th Brigade and the Japanese army fought one compound after another, and it was completely hand-to-hand combat, with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood. Every time the Japanese army captured a compound, they left behind a lot of corpses, and in the end, there were only three compounds left that could not be attacked. For the sake of face, the Japanese army resolutely did not use artillery, and Jiang Yuzhen took the last two or three hundred people with a big knife and a barge gun to fight for another day and two nights. In the end, only nine soldiers were ordered to crawl out of the dog holes in the city wall, and the rest of the troops were in the city.
At the same time as the Japanese army attacked Haradae. Mobilize the main force to attack Ningwu and other places west of Yuanping, and the defenders of the 7th Independent Brigade of the Jin Sui Army, Ma Yan's Garrison Brigade, held out in Ningwu for 5 days and 5 nights before retreating to Xuangang in the rear.
Itagaki couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at the casualties cost of the small three thousand after defeating these three cities. If the Chinese army is so desperate, let alone defeat China in three months, what they should consider is how not to be driven out of China. Itagaki began to waver.
- Modern time and space
After Jiang Cheng got the architectural drawing, he drove to Chen Ce's store, but saw that the store was closed, Jiang Cheng called and asked, "Chen Ce, where are you?" Tianlin is not by your side? โ
Chen Ce heard the whirring wind and said, "We're together, what's wrong with you?" โ
Jiang Cheng said, "I want to buy something." โ
After a while, a helicopter came to Jiang Cheng, looking at Chen Ce who was sitting in the driver's seat, Jiang Cheng was stunned and said, "You still have this?" โ
Chen Ce rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, I said I was a mercenary, were you joking with me?" โ
Jiang Cheng nodded and got on the plane, Chen Ce took off and asked, "Is something wrong?" You don't think you've ever placed an additional order like this. โ
Jiang Cheng looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "Something happened, I need some equipment and vehicles." โ
Chen Ce blinked his eyes and said, "Do you want us to help?" Tianlin doesn't look reliable, but the actual force in his hands is very good. Of course, the commission is more than that. โ
Jiang Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, you can't get to that place." โ
After a while, he came to the roof of a hotel, Jiang Cheng got off the plane and saw Ying Tianlin holding Ida and waving his hand at him.
Seeing Jiang Cheng, Ying Tianlin said curiously, "What's the matter, my friend, what do you need this time?" โ
Jiang Cheng looked at the empty rooftop and the noisy noise of the helicopter. I had to admit that this was indeed a good place to keep secrets, so I said, "I'm in some trouble, a friend is locked up in a building and needs some equipment, I'm sorry for you." โ
Ying Tianlin let go of Ada and said, "What's wrong?" Which blind person dares to mess with my friend? Say, if you want me to help, I'll give you a discount. โ
- I still need money.
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "No, I can solve it, let me tell you about the situation, there are a lot of people on the other side, but the equipment is very poor, but most of the marksmanship is good, and the building is of good quality and can withstand heavy artillery." Wellโmaybe you can think of him as a fortress. โ
Ying Tianlin smiled: "There are a lot of people? How many? โ
Jiang Cheng looked at Ying Tianlin and smiled bitterly, "There are about 200,000 in that city, and there are about 10,000 near the fortress I want to attack." โ
Ying Tianlin and Chen Ce's eyes widened, and they said in disbelief, "You don't want to attack the capital of any country, right?" There are only a few forces in the world with 200,000 troops. โ
Indeed, in the 21st century, which was more or less peaceful, Britain, the former empire on which the sun never sets, had only a little more than 200,000 troops, and of course, this era is no longer an era of fighting by numbers.
Jiang Cheng picked his eyes and said, "Don't worry, they are all tribal armed forces with backward equipment, and they don't even have tanks and rocket launchers." โ
The Japanese tanks of 1937 can indeed only be said to be armored vehicles in modern times.
Win Tianlin then relaxed and said, "The bazooka is not armed, what are you afraid of, so let's do it, the BTR-70 armored car, this car can carry 11 people, and the heavy machine gun on it can use armor-piercing shells, which can penetrate 32mm thick vertical steel armor at a distance of 500mm, and 20mm thick vertical steel armor at a distance of 1000m." Of course, you can also add a turret version if you want. And give you the Tiger armored car, this car can carry 9 people, and you can also add a cannon, by the way, do they have planes? โ
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "It's all old-fashioned planes, just give me some anti-aircraft missiles." I was given two cannons and two machine guns for each car. โ
Ying Tianlin excitedly took out a mobile phone from Ada's chest and said while pressing, "That's easy to do, in this way, 50 red tassel 5A, if you want to save people, the opponent's marksmanship is good, then use firepower to suppress and give you 100 mini Uzi, in fact, the firepower of miniature Uzi is stronger, but it's too light and can't hit accurately, so give you a mini." Messy special grenades with a little more, well, I'll give you another 100 AK-74U, this gun is a short-barreled version, give you 45 magazines, and then give you a silencer and a 30mm grenade, I want to think about it, plus the infrared scanner, the explosives you were given last time were not enough, add it to you, by the way, do you want a shotgun, a melee weapon, give you 50, I'll take a look at it again, this is good, plus the plasma cutter, you must use it, do you want a plane? โ
Jiang Cheng hurriedly stopped and said, "I don't want the plane, I don't have a pilot." โ
Ying Tianlin nodded and said, "Okay, then give you the drone, this is okay, these messes plus enough ammunition, this time I see that you are in a hurry to save people, I will give you a discount." A total of 2 million US dollars, thank you for your patronage, boss. โ
Jiang Cheng didn't bother to bargain with him, and said, "The speed should be fast, the faster the better, and if you have any gadgets to save people, add them to me, if I succeed in rescuing this time, I promise to give you a big order." โ
Ying Tianlin smiled, "I have ready-made these things, and they will be sent to Black Iron Island within five days, how about it?" My speed is no worse than SF. โ
Jiang Cheng exhaled lightly, secretly calculating in his heart, it is already the fourth day, and after five days, plus the time required for training, it will be more than half a month at the earliest. This time, I have to go back and stabilize those little devils first, bastard little devils, if Yishan has three longs and two shorts, I will buy a bunch of biochemical weapons to Tokyo regardless of it!
After Jiang Cheng finished paying, he immediately returned home, called Sun Ning again, ordered five tons of diesel oil, and returned to Shanghai in the Republic of China. (To be continued......)
