Chapter 412: The Commander's Broken Arm

Finally, a thunderclap poured down from the sky, and this torrential rain saved Li Dasheng's 66th Division, the rain was lost, the cavalry brigade and the Tai'an security brigade were forced to retreat, and the remnants of the 2nd Brigade of the 66th Tai'an Division escaped

Before the battle of the 66th Division, Wu Xiaoliang sent a telegram ordering the appointment of Guan Bingyan, the commander of the armored brigade, as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in Tai'an, the cavalry brigade of Dari Achi, and the security brigade in Tai'an, all under his unified command, the armored division was the sharp knife of the 6th Army, because of the lack of fuel, he could only use Tai'an as a base to attack the invading enemy, if he was a little farther away, he would face the crisis of severe fuel shortage, and the tank would be no different from a pile of broken copper and iron

So he had to wait for the rabbit, but Wu Xiaoliang called yesterday and mentioned that there would be fuel to meet the needs of the armored brigade for seven days, and at the same time he was sent the battle plan

Shang Zhen, the commander of the garrison of the 32nd Army Headquarters in Feicheng, anxiously waited for the news that the 66th Division had defeated the Shandong Army and captured Tai'an in one fell swoop

The ominous premonition became stronger and heavier, and the sky began to rain at dawn, who knew that this time it was getting bigger and bigger, lasting for a day and a night, this is the afterword, after dawn, the rout of the 66th Division finally arrived in Feicheng, and brought back the news that the 66th Division had suffered heavy losses and was defeated

After Shang Zhen received the report, his intuition was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and he sat down in his chair and shouted: "Oh, Wu Weizhong is so powerful and cut my arm"

The 32nd Army is Shang Zhen's own foundation, the 66th Division and the 67th Division are his right-hand men, which are supplemented by several independent brigades, and the miscellaneous cards are filled with his own elite 66th Division this time, and he is also selfish, if he can take Tai'an in the north, attack Jinan in the north, and then seize Lunan and other places, and actually occupy Shandong, when the time comes, it is not difficult to ask Yan Xishan for the chairman of Shandong Province, and then there will be territory and an army, so he has fulfilled his wish for many years

Who knew that what was waiting for was the bad news of the defeat of Li Dasheng's 66th Division

Shang Zhen didn't know that Li Dasheng and the remnants of his 66th Division were marching with difficulty, on the way south, the morale of the troops was low, and when some soldiers broke away from the troops and fled, Li Dasheng was mixed with the soldiers, and at this moment, his mood was as muddy and tangled as under his feet, and he didn't know where the road ahead would lead

From time to time, a staff officer reminded him: "In front of the division seat is the Dawen River, can we still go......"

When Li Dasheng heard this, his originally somewhat scattered eyes suddenly gathered again, and he said with a sigh of relief: "It will be safe to cross the Dawen River, the rain is so big, the Shandong army must not have imagined that we will retreat to the south", after that, he had a bitterness in his chest, and what evaded the pursuit of the Shandong army was an excuse to deceive his subordinates, this time the army was defeated and returned to Feicheng, and he would inevitably be severely punished by Shang Zhen, and when the time came, his future would be ruined, and I am afraid that there would be no room for turning over, so he thought of this strategy, nominally leading the troops to evade the Shandong army and retreating south, but in fact, he immediately surrendered to Jiang Zhongzheng after arriving at the Sulu border

The reason why he hid it from his subordinates was that he was afraid that the morale of the army would completely collapse on the road

……

Shang Zhen forced himself to calm down, leaned on the table in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Where is Senior Commander Feng, let him come to see me immediately"

The adjutant immediately went to personally invite Feng Pengzhuo, commander of the 67th Division, and the 32nd Army was originally scheduled to set off at noon this day and drive directly to Tai'an, so although it was pouring rain early in the morning, Feng Pengzhuo still went to inspect the troops in the rain and make preparations before the move

Feng Pengzhu was surprised to see Shang Zhen's personal adjutant come to look for him in person, and then he frowned with a hint of ominous premonition, and asked first:

"But something big happened"

The adjutant's panicked expression had completely betrayed his inner feelings, and before he could speak, Feng Pengzhuo's heart had gradually sunk, as cold and wet as this dripping rain

"Division Commander Feng, go back to the military headquarters with me to see the commander of the army and take a break."

Feng Pengzhuo's heart continued to sink, "But something happened to the 66th Division", he didn't believe that the elite Li Dasheng's troops could be defeated, but at least they encountered great difficulties, otherwise it would be impossible for the commander of the Shang army to let his personal adjutant come to find him in person

"The 66th Division was heavily damaged and fled, Division Commander Li is still missing, the army commander is anxious to see you, Division Commander Feng, follow me back to the military headquarters."

The adjutant said that there was already a crying voice here, and the heavy rain was pouring down, and he was a district adjutant who realized that the life and death of the 32nd Army had arrived, and with the temper of the army commander, he would not withdraw the army, and he would definitely go to find the Shandong army in Tai'an after the rain stopped

Feng Pengzhu's huge earthquake really hard to believe that the elite such as the 66th Division was actually severely damaged and scattered, what killer weapon did Tai'an have to repeatedly defeat the elite 32nd Army of the Jin Army, his heart has sunk to the end, if the entire army of the 5th Brigade was wiped out before, the 32nd Army was just a disease of scabies, and the heavy damage of the 66th Division was an out-and-out wound, plus the war situation is changing, when it will be able to recover its combat strength has become unknown

Shang Zhen had calmed down from the initial shock, he decided to pour the strength of the thirty-second division into the last battle, because the shape could not allow him to retreat, this retreat, he Shang Zhen had no place in the Jin army, and when he looked up, he saw that Feng Pengzhuo, who was soaked all over, entered the military headquarters, and hurriedly got up, pulled him down, sat down, and ordered someone to serve hot tea

"Hurry up and bring hot tea to Yunqing to ward off the cold" and pointed to the guards next to him, "Go to that dry clothes"

Feng Pengzhu couldn't take care of these hurried words: "Commander, please listen to Pengzhuo's words, the 32nd Army should focus on preserving its strength, and keep the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood."

Shang Zhen waved his hand, laughed and laughed for a while, and in the end, it was difficult to hide the desolation, and he still tried his best to hide it

"The success or failure of Yunqing's thirty-second army is here in one fell swoop, Li mistaken, I want to go to Tai'an with me this time......"

Feng Pengzhu was silent, he knew that Shang Zhen's temper was determined, and it would be difficult for dozens of horses to pull him back, but he couldn't help but say again:

"If you wait for the remnants of the 66th Division to return and then go out, you can understand the equipment and tactics of the Shandong Army, and know yourself and your enemy."

This time, Shang Zhen did not object, but nodded in agreement, and in any case, he would wait for the heavy rain to stop before he could act

It was not until the evening that the heavy rain was scarce, and Lala gradually became smaller, and the rout of the 1st Brigade of the 66th Division continued to return to Feicheng, but he did not see the 2nd Brigade of the 66th Division and Li Dasheng alone, until the rout of the 2nd Brigade secretly fled back, and he learned that the 66th Division had crossed the Dawenkou to the south

Shang Zhen's face was cloudy, his chest rose and fell violently, obviously trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and he wanted to speak several times, but in the end he didn't do anything

"Don't wait for him, tomorrow the whole army will be pulled"
