Chapter 189: Attack on the Abdomen and Back (Medium)
Qiao Youhua pushed the door out, and a dazzling sunlight came to his face, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to block it.
"What happened?" Seeing Wu Ming's anxious face, Qiao Youhua asked.
"I took over Ma Biao's squad at three o'clock in the morning, and sent a group of scouts as planned to reconnoiter the surrounding enemy situation, and unexpectedly found that a large number of devil reinforcements came north of Teng County, and the strength was at least one reinforced wing!" Wu Ming said.
Qiao Youhua's face sank when he heard this: "The little devil reacts quite quickly!" ”
"We have less than 700 men in our hands, and we have to divide our troops to guard them, if we are attacked on our backs, it will be dangerous!" Wu Ming said.
"I know, but if we give up Fuji County now, we can guarantee that there is no danger, but the battle plan of the all-annihilation Seya detachment will not be achieved.
It's all at this point, and the Seya detachment is already a turtle in an urn, and I'm really unwilling to let them go like this. Qiao Youhua said thoughtfully.
Wu Ming was silent, at this juncture, he understood what Qiao Youhua said, but in the end, Qiao Youhua had to pay attention to it, whether it was fighting or withdrawing, he understood that all he had to do was to execute.
"In this case, you immediately go to the confidential room and send a telegram to the Xuzhou Fifth Theater Command by radio, informing him of the enemy situation we have reconnoitred, and asking Li Zongren to send me at least one regiment of reinforcements anyway, otherwise our troops will evacuate Tengxian County and will not be able to complete the original plan of encircling and annihilating the Segu detachment." Qiao Youhua pondered for a while and commanded.
"Okay." Wu Ming nodded and was about to leave.
"Wait, how far are the devil reinforcements from Teng County?" Qiao Youhua stopped him.
"There's about twenty-five kilometers left." Wu Ming thought for a while.
"Twenty-five kilometers, that's an hour or two!" Qiao Youhua nodded and waved his hand to signal Wu Ming to leave.
…………
Xuzhou, Headquarters of the Governor of the Fifth Theater of Operations.
"General seat, Qiao Youhua called, he reconnoitred a large number of Japanese troops in the direction of Zoucheng, and the Longya Task Force was about to suffer from the enemy, he said that the troops in his hands were insufficient, and he asked the theater command to send him at least one regiment of reinforcements, otherwise he would withdraw from Teng County." An operational staff officer came to Li Zongren and saluted and reported.
"What? The Japanese move so fast? Li Zongren changed color when he heard this.
Bai Chongxi frowned and said: "Don't blame Qiao Youhua, he has only less than a thousand troops under his command, and he has to intercept the Seya detachment and block the Japanese reinforcements on the north road, and the strength is really stretched!"
The attack of the 31st Division and Townenburg's division yesterday afternoon was strafed and bombed by Japanese planes, and ended in failure, and the night attack at night was also ineffective because the Japanese had already prepared, and it seemed that in a short period of time, it would be difficult to break through the Japanese defense line and gather and annihilate the Seya detachment in one day.
But I concluded that the Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Zou Cheng could arrive in Teng County in two hours at most, so Qiao Youhua had no choice but to ask for help, otherwise with his temper, he would not have asked for help from the Commander's Department of the War Zone until the critical moment. ”
"However, how can there be reinforcements to send now, there are in Xuzhou and the area south of Xuzhou, but it is too late in time! A few of Tang Enbo's divisions are okay, but are they likely to go to reinforce Qiao Youhua? I don't think it's possible! Li Zongren was a little embarrassed.
"We can't transfer the Tang Enbo Division, and even if we transfer it, we can't form an effective cooperation with the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, which is not conducive to the defense of Teng County.
In my opinion, let's let Sun Lianzhong pick one or two battalions, bypass the Seya detachment, and go to support Qiao Youhua! Bai Chongxi said.
"That's all it can be." Li Zongren nodded.
…………
Fengcheng, headquarters of the 20th Army Corps of Townenburg.
A middle-aged man in a Mao suit came to Tang Enbo's office, and after saluting as usual, he said straight to the point: "Commander Tang, I have come here with the title of commissioner, and there is something that needs your department's cooperation." ”
After Tang Enbo saw the person who came, his face immediately changed slightly, he stood up and said solemnly: "Brother Renfeng, why are you here, please take a seat quickly, there is something you need to run in person!" ”
The person who came was Mao Renfeng, the deputy commander and director of the Military Unification Bureau, he didn't sit down, but said: "It's about Qiao Youhua!" The commission learned that Qiao Youhua's Dragon Tooth Task Force was now stationed in Tengxian County and was blocking the Japanese Seya detachment from escaping north. ”
"Oh? The purpose of Brother Renfeng's trip? As Chairman Jiang's confidant and favorite general, Tang Enbo of course knew that Qiao Youhua had disobeyed the orders of the commission many times, and even sent a correction telegram in Nanjing, cutting off tens of thousands of elites of the Central Army, and had become the person who must be removed from the commission, and vaguely guessed the purpose of Mao Renfeng's coming, but he still asked.
"According to the information I have, the reinforcements of the Japanese 10th Division have set off from Zou Cheng last night and are heading towards Teng County.
Believe, Commander Tang, you should know how to do it? Mao Renfeng said. Dai Li and Principal Jiang gave him instructions to get rid of Qiao Youhua, but there were no clear instructions as to whether to assassinate or how to kill by the military commander's agents.
Qiao Youhua has a group of proud generals and supporters around him, and he is not sure that he will succeed in sending military commanders to kill, and he may even walk in trouble and fall into trouble.
The best way is to get rid of Qiao Youhua with the help of the Japanese army, so that it will not only get rid of Chairman Chiang's troubles, but also will not cause any adverse effects on the Nationalist Government, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, after Mao Renfeng received the latest secret information from the Jining Military Command Substation and learned that Japanese reinforcements had assembled from the area of Jining in Zou Cheng and marched towards Teng County, he immediately came up with this seamless plan.
As one of the leaders of the military command, Mao Renfeng is very aware of the combat effectiveness of the units in the Fifth Theater, although the Seya detachment has fallen into a heavy siege and is in danger, but as long as the most well-equipped, the most elite personnel and the strongest combat effectiveness of the Tang Enbo Department do not contribute!
No matter how desperately Sun Lianzhong and the other miscellaneous troops worked, it would be difficult to break through the position of the Seya detachment, which was still fighting in a short period of time.
As long as there is a slight delay of a few hours at this juncture, Qiao Youhua's hundreds of remnants will fall into a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy, and they will be able to get rid of Qiao Youhua with the help of the Japanese army.
Tang Enbo was so shrewd that he immediately understood Mao Renfeng's entire plan.
After secretly sighing at Mao Renfeng's cunning, Tang Enbo immediately said: "Please rest assured, Brother Feng, Tang will do his best to handle this matter." ”
…………
Two hours later, the reinforcements promised by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi finally arrived, and at the same time, there were also the forwards of the devil's reinforcements.
Although there are only two battalions and less than 1,000 reinforcements, they are all elites of the Northwest Army, but the weapons and equipment are a little worse, and the most important thing Qiao Youhua lacks is weapons and ammunition.
The weapons and ammunition seized during the capture of Tengxian County were immediately taken out, and the veterans of the Northwest Army of the two battalions were re-armed.
Their combat effectiveness was greatly improved in an instant, and the position in the south of the city was handed over to these two battalions to prevent the Seya detachment from taking the opportunity to break through and attack Fuji County.
Qiao Youhua personally led the main force of Longya with more than 600 people, and moved to the north of the city and the railway station to defend and resist the Japanese reinforcements.
At this time, Qiao Youhua didn't know that the military commander had already laid a death trap for him and his Dragon Tooth Task Force subordinates.
