Chapter 159: The Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang (Part II)
-- Wuhan
Jiang Zheng looked at the booklet in his hand and nodded constantly, and the cover of the book read "On Protracted War"
Jiang put down the pamphlet and said to Bai Chongxi next to him, "The book you introduced is really good, many things in it coincide with me, but it is too negative and pessimistic, too much to advocate his guerrilla warfare, and the pattern of the Red Party is still too small." ”
Bai Chongxi nodded with a smile and said, "I think the strategic stalemate stage mentioned in this booklet will come soon after Taierzhuang." ”
Jiang Intermediary also nodded and said, "Delin is indeed handsome." Both the General Staff and the German Staff Corps have reported their flag deductions, and the results are all great victories, just to see if the Japanese will take the bait. “
Bai Chongxi said reassuringly, "Rest assured, the strategy of virtue and neighborliness is unparalleled in the world, I think the Japanese army will definitely defeat Taierzhuang." ”
Jiang Intermediary nodded, agreed, and asked, "Jiansheng, what do you say Delin is most worried about now?" Will the Japanese army take the bait or will the Japanese army in the south break through the defensive line? ”
Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren were both the heads of the Gui family, and said at the moment, "Commission, I think what Delin is really worried about is the morale of the army, after all, since the 77 Incident, our army has been defeated again and again, although the commission to shoot Han Fuqu has shocked the army's heart, but whether the Japanese army can be defeated, our soldiers' confidence is still a little insufficient. ”
Jiang intermediary nodded, touched his scepter, in fact, at this time Wuhan is also an undercurrent, some time ago Japan came to discuss and was sternly rejected by Jiang mediary, but it made some people in the party feel that they have lost a good opportunity to obtain peace, especially Wang Jingwei, has begun to advocate his theory of the death of the country, feeling that China cannot win against Japan, and Jiang intermediary will inevitably make the Republic of China perish.
Jiang Intermediary remembered the anger he was suffering when he was a groom in Japan, and he was even more determined to teach the Japanese a good lesson. ”
The guards outside immediately came in and saluted, saying, "Take a seat." ”
Jiang intermediary said, "Arrange the plane, I want to come to Taierzhuang to watch the battle in person." ”
Bai Chongxi said worriedly, "Take a seat." This, this is really too risky, in case something goes wrong, how can we explain it to the people? ”
Jiang Zhong said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the best way to boost morale is for the king to drive in person, although I am not a king, but I am also the head of state, I go to compare how many articles, how many telegrams are effective, as for the danger?" Do you think Wuhan is safe? There are a lot of Japanese planes in the sky. ”
Bai Chongxi reluctantly immediately contacted the Air Force and prepared to escort Jiang Zhong.
Song Meiling has been tired of buying the plane since she was told by Jiang's intermediary. let her slowly get rid of the Air Force, but after all, the Air Force has been mastered by Song Meiling for several years, and as soon as the Air Force moved, Song Meiling received the news.
Song Meiling knew that Jiang Intermediary was going to Xuzhou at this time, so she couldn't help but be a little panicked, and hurriedly ran to stop Jiang Agent. Seeing Song Meiling coming in a hurry, Jiang Intermediary knew why, opened his hand and said, "Darling, why are you here?" ”
Song Meiling tidied up the clothes for Jiang and said, "Go to Xuzhou at this time." You don't think about your own safety, can you not go? ”
Jiang Intermediary had already sent a telegram to Li Zongren, wouldn't it be embarrassing to not go at this time, so he held Song Meiling's hand and said, "No." I had to go this time. ”
Song Meiling nodded, took the clothes from the guards next to her, took the lead on the plane and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." If you Jiang Intermediary die, I, Song Meiling, will have nothing to live. ”
Jiang Intermediary was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at the stunned crowd around him. Haha laughed and said, "You say, then Hirohito dares to come to Taierzhuang to meet me now?" ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly patted their asses and said, "What is the Japanese emperor, where is there a commission of wisdom and martial arts." ”
Jiang intermediary listened to it with great use, nodded, stepped onto the plane, and soon, under the protection of more than a dozen planes, Jiang intermediary's special plane flew towards Taierzhuang.
Song Meiling looked at the planes outside the window and said curiously, "Darling, the appearance of these planes seems to be a little strange." ”
Jiang looked at it and said, "These are Soviet planes, and there are also Soviet pilots on them. ”
Song Meiling nodded, and said worriedly, "Then the Soviet Union gave us so many planes, I don't know how many there will be in Yan'an?" ”
Jiang Zhong smiled and touched Song Meiling's hand and said, "Darling, rest assured, Yan'an was just bombed by the Japanese army some time ago, it seems that the Soviet Union has spoken of credit this time, and it really did not provide support to Yan'an aircraft." ”
-- Xuzhou
Li Zongren looked at the streets after the bombing and sighed, at this time, the Japanese army had nearly 100 planes in Xuzhou to bomb and attack, but Xuzhou had less than 20 planes, and they did not dare to meet the enemy head-on, so they could only let the Japanese planes continue to bomb.
Li Zongren said to Li Pinxian, "Let's go, go to meet the commission, it's good that this commission is coming, the devil's air force has just left, and it won't run into it." ”
The two came to the airport with the guards, but saw more than a dozen black dots flying slowly, Li Pinxian couldn't help muttering, "It's better to give us these planes, and we will be bombed in the province." ”
Li Zongren frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
When the plane landed, Jiang looked at Li Zongren and said with a smile, "Delin, I'm here to help you this time." ”
Li Zongren saluted and replied, "Rest assured, this battle will be won." ”
At this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly galloped over, and one of the generals at the head shouted wildly, "Headmaster, Headmaster." ”
Jiang squinted his eyes and said suspiciously, "Who is that?" ”
Li Pinxian knew who was coming as soon as he heard the voice, and sneered, "This is really fast." Looks like the news is going well in our headquarters. ”
Li Zongren pulled Li Pinxian and told him to shut up.
I saw that the person on the horse dismounted, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Jiang Zhong with a standard military salute, and said, "Principal, the student asked the principal to come to the front line in person, and he was extremely worried, so he immediately hurried to the horse, and asked the principal to return to Wuhan immediately. ”
When Jiang saw this person, he was also moved and nodded, and suddenly remembered something, frowned and said, "Keqin, you are here, what should the army do?" Who will command the troops. ”
Tang Enbo immediately replied, "Don't worry, the principal can rest assured that the students have a radio station and can command remotely." And now my troops are still lurking, it will not hinder the overall situation, once there is a change, the students will immediately rush back to the army, and repay the country with death. ”
Li Zongren looked at these two people, you moved me, I moved you, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, and said, "Bench, the war really doesn't need you to come in person, and now the Japanese army is attacking Taierzhuang." Our army is already making the final deployment, and our army will win this battle. ”
When Jiang Intermediary heard this, he thought to himself, I came only after victory, do you see that I went to Nanjing, and said, "I haven't seen Master Wang die on the battlefield, and it has become a lifelong regret, if I can't see Master Chi this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well." ”
As he spoke, he took Song Meiling's hand and said, "Prepare the vehicle immediately." Let's go to Taierzhuang. Keqin, don't stay with me. Don't worry, I'll be fine, you immediately go back to the army and prepare for battle. Well, that's it. Let's go. ”
Tang Enbo just came to show his loyalty, and when he saw this, he turned around and cried and left, and Song Meiling, who was watching, said movingly, "Keqin is really a loyal minister." ”
Jiang Intermediary nodded with a sigh and said, "I have Keqin." Hassle-free. ”
-- Taierzhuang
At this time, Taierzhuang had reached a white-hot stage, and the Japanese planes and artillery kept bombing the positions of the national army, and one after another Japanese tanks drove over with great momentum.
The troops of Chifeng City guarding here relied on the pillboxes of Taierzhuang. Houses, fighting street battles with difficulty, facing bluestone houses. The ordinary artillery bombardment of the Japanese army had no effect, but Chifengcheng used the windows and gaps of the houses to keep firing cold guns, which made the Japanese soldiers who rushed into Taierzhuang cry bitterly.
Chi Fengcheng watched the Japanese infantry rush into Taierzhuang again, and wiped his sweat nervously. At this time, a signal soldier said, "Division, the headquarters is in an emergency." ”
Ji Fengcheng took a look at it, he couldn't believe his eyes, and when he looked at it again, he dared to be sure, waving a telegram and saying, "Brothers, everyone listen to me. ”
Seeing that everyone stopped, Chi Fengcheng said, "Chairman Jiang knows that we are fighting here and that our position is extremely important, and now he has come to inspect it in person, and the people are at the South Railway Station, you say, if the chairman of the committee is injured for us, can we afford this responsibility?" ”
Everyone, listen, what? The chairman of the committee is here, my mother, that is the biggest official, and I can't believe my ears.
Chi Fengcheng shouted, "So, tell the brothers, give me a fight to death, I want the chairman to see a complete Taierzhuang, not a little devil's Taierzhuang." ”
For a while, the whole position was boiling, the military is a profession that attaches great importance to glory, when they heard that they wanted the chairman to see a complete Taierzhuang, all the soldiers began to die, as if there was a fire in their hearts, if they didn't kill a little devil, this flame seemed to be impossible to extinguish.
The little devils who were looking for the national army everywhere in Taierzhuang suddenly found that they no longer had to look for the national army who had gone into the tunnels and didn't know where to go, because there were national troops everywhere.
I only saw countless grenades smashed down as if it was raining, from the beams, from the tunnel, from the window, after a series of explosions, the sound of Czech and Mark core machine guns resounded throughout Taierzhuang, Isoya Ryosuke outside Taierzhuang saw this, and quickly ordered artillery support, but the Nationalist army had long figured out the Japanese army's three-plate axe in the battle during this time, and immediately mixed with the Japanese army with a big knife, you blow up, up and kill your own people, we are Chinese, even if you exchange it, you can win you.
At the South Railway Station, Chi Fengcheng saw Jiang Intermediary staring at Taierzhuang, and Chi Fengcheng said excitedly, "Seat, you, you are really here." ”
Jiang Intermediary smiled and said, "What, do you think I dare not come?" Not only did I come, but I also brought a large amount of military pay. This is all awarded to you, how about it, how much is still in our hands in Taierzhuang? ”
Chi Fengcheng anxiously looked at the telephone clerk who came out, and in order to understand the situation on the front line, a few soldiers carrying telephone lines also came out.
"Hey, what? Again, okay, okay, I'll report to the master right away. After the caller finished speaking, he immediately looked at Jiang Zhong with his head held high, and said to Chi Fengcheng, "Report to the division, our army has completely driven the Japanese army out of Taierzhuang through fighting, and Taierzhuang is all in the hands of our Chinese troops, and not an inch of land has been lost." ”
When Chi Fengcheng heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he saluted and said to Jiang Zhong, "Take a seat." ”
Jiang Zhong smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm not old yet, I've heard it all, okay, fight hard." If you win, I will personally give you a medal. ”
Chi Fengcheng nodded excitedly, this was the first time he had shown his face like this. At this time, he was only 34 years old. But Sun Lianzhong frowned, he was not afraid that Chi Fengcheng would be pulled away by Jiang Zhong, what he was most worried about was that in this way, if he wanted to retreat in the future, he might not be able to retreat.
Jiang said a few more words and left, returning to Xuzhou, while the battle in Taierzhuang continued.
Ryosuke Isoya is already angry, and a small Taierzhuang has swallowed the lives of thousands of his soldiers. There were more than a thousand wounded, he rushed to the front line and scolded at the front-line commander Furong Zhenping, "You Ma Lu, a small Zhuangzi actually didn't fight for four days, you should go back to the military school again, you don't fight, let the tenth wing go on." ”
Furong Zhenping became anxious when he heard this, and said, "Your Excellency, the division commander, our 63rd Wing has finally broken through the pass, and we will be able to win immediately." Retreating at this time, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable. ”
Ryosuke Isoya held up a finger and said, "One day, after one day, I'll let the Tenth Wing go up, and you only have one last day." ”
Both the 63rd and 10th Wings were a brigade. Usually it is often compared, and when he heard that he wanted the other party to pick peaches, Furong Zhenping personally rushed into Taierzhuang with the troops, this time. He also united a squad of tanks and had all the artillery carry out a curtain attack.
The Japanese artillery fire was very accurate, and the layers of fire moved slowly. The Japanese tanks and soldiers lined up and slowly advanced behind, preparing to overwhelm the people.
Seeing this, Chi Fengcheng gritted his teeth and said, "Go down to the tunnel, give the front to the devils, and we will take it back at night."
At this time, a staff officer said excitedly, "Division, artillery, artillery is coming." ”
When Chi Fengcheng heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "What cannon?" ”
The staff officer danced and said, "It's German guns, 75 guns, Germany bought them, and 36 guns came." ‘
Chi Fengcheng said in disbelief, "There are so many cannons, what's going on?" ”
-- Xuzhou
Jiang Zheng looked at Li Zongren's strategic plan and said, "Delin, are you not considering the Fifth Division?" ”
Li Zongren said with a smile: "The Fifth Division is stuck to the death of Zhang Zizhong's troops, and it will be fine." ”
Jiang Zhong shook his head and said, "I don't mean this, can you consider surrounding the Fifth Division." ”
Li Zongren suddenly said to the chairman of the committee who had returned from studying in Japan, who admired the five-body body, "Commission, this Fifth Division now has 15,000 people, and it would be good for Zhang Zizhong to block it, let alone fight it." ”
Jiang Intermediary smiled and said, "I won't embarrass you, how about I add three full-weaved German mechanics to you?" There are also two artillery regiments. “
Li Zongren was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Are there really three moral mechanics?" “
Jiang Zhong nodded and said, "This is our last full-fledged German division, but now they are all in Hefei, I was originally going to use this unit against the Japanese army in the south, but it seems that it is not needed now." But even so, it will take at least a week to transfer here, how about it? “
Li Zongren quickly calculated, felt that it should be possible, nodded and said, "Okay, commission, I'm willing to give it a try." “
Jiang Zhong said with a red face: "If the two divisions of the Japanese army are annihilated in this battle, our stalemate stage will come, and the final victory will be in sight." “
-- Taierzhuang
The 63rd Wing, which was slowly advancing, suddenly heard a strange whistling sound, and some experienced Japanese soldiers immediately lay down and held their heads, and before the officers could scold, red fire balls accompanied by explosions that shook the ground and shook the mountains blew the Japanese troops to pieces. "Yaga, this, what's going on?" Furong Zhenping didn't see the artillery of the National Army for four or five days, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless now. "Come on, immediately organize a death squad, and we will also have an infantry and artillery coordination." Chi Fengcheng looked at the Japanese soldiers who were bombed and turned around and ran away, and smiled excitedly.
Hundreds of nationalists with broadswords and grenades, accompanied by artillery fire, the artillery of the nationalist army was not a little worse than the Japanese, from time to time there were explosions to involve the nationalist army, but no one flinched, everyone was crazy to slash and kill.
With the support of artillery, the defense of Chifeng City was sharper, and the 10th Division fought for ten days and nights and did not capture Taierzhuang, but the troops of Chifeng City also lost seventy-seven eighty-eight.
Sun Lianzhong was so distressed to see it, this was his main force. Hurriedly called Li Zongren and asked for support.
Li Zongren knew that Taierzhuang was hard, but fighting a war meant that some people would eat fat and some people would gnaw bones, so he immediately said, "Your troops must defend to the last moment, and whoever wins and loses in this battle depends on whether we can survive it." “
Sun Lianzhong said helplessly to Chi Fengcheng, "Use all your strength, if you die, I'll fill it." ”
Ryosuke Isoya's eyes were already red, and after ten days, he still couldn't beat Taierzhuang, why was this, he couldn't figure it out.
At this time, a staff officer saluted and said, "Report, our supplies for today have not yet arrived." ”
Ryosuke Isoya asked suspiciously, "Did they really set off?" ”
The staff officer nodded and said, "It's indeed gone." ‘
Ryosuke Isoya still wondered if the logistics team was delayed, and a communications soldier ran to say in a hurry, "Report to Your Excellency the division commander, our army has found the Chinese army in the rear, and the number should be the 52nd Army, 85th Army, and 75th Army of the 20th Army Unit. "Nani?" Ryosuke Isoya said in disbelief, he never imagined that Tang Enbo's troops actually appeared at this time.
Unbeknownst to Ryosuke Isoya, there was another large army that was rushing towards the battlefield, and their target was the Fifth Division.
Li Zongren drew a map of the situation and said to Jiang Zhong: "This is our latest plan, now we can no longer call the Battle of Taierzhuang, we have to call it the decisive battle of Lunan." “
Jiang Zheng looked at the map and clapped his hands, "Okay, what a figure-eight formation, I think the Japanese army is difficult to fly." (To be continued.) )
