Chapter 550: Preparing to Shoot the "Tang Army"
"Can you get some Tang Legion uniforms?"
"Master, what do you want to do?"
"You say, can you get it?"
"The military uniforms of the Tang Legion are similar to ours, the only difference is that they all have the word 'Bo' on their left armbands, as long as they are the troops of the Tang Legion, they are all the same." Yang Zhiyi reported.
"Okay, Zhiyi, the intelligence work is good." Leng Feng praised.
"We have collected all the information of the troops participating in the Fifth Theater so that we can identify them on the battlefield at any time." Yang Zhiyi explained.
"Shiza, don't you want us to disguise ourselves as the troops of the Tang Legion to rescue the Sichuan army in Teng County?"
Staff Officer Hu said the guess in everyone's hearts, and the entire war room was quiet, this idea was really a bit crazy, and it was a bit of a pit for teammates.
"What are you all looking at me for?" Staff Officer Hu soon found that he was being targeted by everyone, and his eyes were hairy, and he realized that he had made a mistake.
It's good to know some things in your heart, so why bother saying them?
Everyone knows what Leng Feng encountered along the way back, and he has no good impression of the Tang Army, this Tang Army not only relies on the fact that he is the old Jiang Yan, and he is superior everywhere, but also bullies the honor of the first division, and the military discipline is so corrupt, how can there be a little bit of the image of a soldier?
"Old Xie, where is the secret service group?"
"The special mission has been stationed on Zhanghaozi Island, and in this location, it is numbered Island No. 3, and in addition to the special mission, an engineer regiment and a heavy mortar battalion are stationed on the island."
"Master, do you want to use the secret service group?"
"The special service group is the most elite fist unit in the whole division, if we really want to meet the Sichuan army to break through, the most suitable for carrying out the task is only the special service group." Xie Chengrui also agreed.
"Staff Officer Hu!"
"Here!"
"Go and draw up a plan to meet the breakthrough of the Sichuan Army, and mark the route and time of return in case you need it." Leng Feng ordered.
"Yes!"
"Guo Xing!"
"Senior Commander Leng, did you call me?" Guo Xing stepped forward a little reluctantly, it stands to reason that his mission has been completed, but for reasons of secrecy, they must stay on the island and cannot leave without permission.
It's not bad, at least you don't need to worry about heavy military affairs, here, you can also fish, read books or something, life is a bit of a leisure.
"Yes, my War Department is short of manpower, I want to invite you to join for the time being, I don't know what you think?" Leng Feng sent out an invitation.
"Commander Leng, this is not very good, but the humble position is a subordinate of Chief Li, and it is not very proper to join the first division of honor, right?" Guo Xing was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, there was no good banquet.
"Rules are dead, people are alive, you here, every day is fishing and reading, this is a great waste of talents, I think Chief Li will agree to my arrangement." Leng Feng smiled.
"As long as Chief Li agrees, there will be no problem with the humble post and these colleagues of mine." Guo Xing said with a sneering face, Chief Li probably would not agree.
"It's okay, Wei Quan, draft a telegram and tell Chief Li that Guo Xing and the others will be kept here for the time being." Leng Feng commanded very casually, obviously very sure of this matter.
"Okay."
"You go back to rest first, come and report early tomorrow morning, and the specific work, Director Long of the General Staff Office will arrange it for you." Leng Feng said.
"Yes, Master Leng." Guo Xing thought for a while, but still gave a military salute and left.
"Shizuo has taken a fancy to these people?" Xie Jiyuan and Leng Feng are not short of teamwork, how can they not understand Leng Feng's thoughts, the shortcomings of the First Division of Honor are in the officers, especially professional staff officers and grassroots officers, of course, there is also a shortage of senior commanders, but since Zhang Zhongling and the three joined the First Division of Honor, this shortcoming can be temporarily made up.
"Call Liang Dong over, this mission, the special mission is the main force, but the soldiers are expensive, not too many, I need a strong commander!" Leng Feng commanded solemnly.
"Do you really plan to save the Sichuan Army?"
"Why don't you save it, if the Second Army arrives in time, then we will not move, if they don't arrive, the Sichuan army surrounded by the Japanese army will be in danger of being wiped out, at this time, as a Chinese soldier, I can't see death without help!" Leng Feng said.
"That would reveal our location."
"No, we are going to save people, not to fight hard with the Japanese army, as long as the inside and outside should be combined, when the city is broken, we can still rescue them, besides, even our own people are not saved?" Leng Feng said.
Xie Jiyuan also remembered that the Honor First Division had not sent a small team into Teng County to assist the Sichuan army in defending the city.
"Well, when you say that, we really have to save it." Xie Jiyuan nodded, he had a disturbed conscience when he saw that he didn't save him, if he didn't even save his own people, then the team would be difficult to lead.
"By the way, where am I staying, tonight?" Leng Feng asked.
"I've prepared it for you, there is a side hall behind Tianqi Temple, which has been cleaned up for you, put a marching bed, and a table, our current office tables are all supported by the villagers on the island, which can be regarded as borrowed, and some villagers even brought us the tables for their own meals."
"Lao Xie, you are grasping military discipline, our honorary first division can't lose its own 'honor', why should we fight with the Japanese invaders, become soldiers and eat food, that is the idea of the old society, we are revolutionary soldiers, bloody battlefield, not for the people and our children and grandchildren to live a good life and live with dignity."
"Master, there are not many people I admire in my life, you are one, I am so good to the people, I Xie Jiyuan will follow you in this life!" Xie Jiyuan said.
"Lao Xie, don't say it so affectionately, it's embarrassing for me."
"Hehe, Master, I'll take you over."
"Okay, let's talk as we go!" Leng Feng nodded, he also happened to have something to say to Xie Jiyuan alone.
Tengxian County, Xiguan Power Plant, 122nd Division and Tengxian Defense Headquarters, Japanese artillery bombardment, plus aircraft bombing, more than 70 percent of the buildings in Tengxian County were damaged to varying degrees.
At present, the division headquarters of the three divisions of the Sichuan Army are concentrated in the county seat of Tengxian County, as well as the subordinate brigade headquarters, and there are several command organs.
Except for the withdrawal of the troops fighting guerrilla warfare on the outskirts of Tengxian County and the first part of the 125th Division and the divisional headquarters that could not be withdrawn to Tengxian, the Sichuan army was basically concentrated in Tengxian.
Sun Zhen, commander-in-chief of the 22nd Group Army, appointed Wang Zhizhong as the acting commander of the 41st Army, and commanded all the Sichuan troops in Tengxian to resist the Japanese army, and the defense of Tengxian officially began.
Wang Zhizhong did not have the slightest joy of promotion, received Sun Zhen's telegram, he knew that the Tang Legion was estimated to be impossible to come to the aid of Teng County, originally he still had a glimmer of hope for this, the Tang Legion was known as 100,000, and it was elite, and the siege of Teng County was relieved, but it was just a gesture.
Now it seems that Lao Jiang still has no good intentions, and they are looking forward to borrowing the hands of the Japanese to consume their local miscellaneous cards.
However, Commander Li still transferred the Second Army to them, and the Northwest Army, which was also hard-working and hard-working, they rushed over immediately, but it also took time.
Sun Zhen did not telegraph Wang Zhizhong about the 20th Army and the Second Army, what he was afraid of was that the hearts of the soldiers in front of him would fluctuate, but fortunately, the Second Army had already set off, otherwise, this battle would really be a complete defeat.
Since the Japanese army launched the attack on Teng County, it was already the fourth day, and the peripheral battle was fought for three days, and the Sichuan Army had to take the initiative to evacuate and retreat to Teng County, relying on the city fortifications to resist the enemy.
The troops that withdrew to the county seat added up to less than five regiments, plus the original troops in the city and the troops directly under the organs, which were more than 7,000 people, and counting the strong men in the city, it was about 10,000 people.
After a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese army had advanced to the city, and the soldiers defending the city had suffered a large number of casualties, and the strength of the entire Tengxian county was less than 8,000 people.
Of these 8,000 men, less than 5,000 were able to fight.
This is already the best situation at present, if it is a step later, there may not be so many defenders in Tengxian County at this moment, it would be good to have half of them.
When night fell, the artillery sound of the Japanese attack gradually stopped, and the Japanese army did not like night battles, mainly because they could not get accurate artillery support in night battles, and their grasp of the terrain and terrain was not as good as that of the native Chinese.
Japanese generals are not stupid, they are not afraid of death, it does not mean that they like to die.
The earth was calm again, but the smell of gunpowder in the air did not dissipate, and a crescent moon in the night sky pierced through the thin clouds, and the soft moonlight sprinkled into the ruined county seat of Tengxian County.
Tense military meetings were held in the headquarters of the Xiguan Power Plant, which had long since been blown up, and the headquarters was lit only by candles, and the only generator was used for communications and the hospital to rescue the wounded for surgery.
Officers attending the meeting arrived one after another.
Wang Zhizhong's face was grim, his eyes swept over the familiar faces, and his mood was a little sad, these officers of the Sichuan Army, all of them were about the same age as him, about thirty years old, in order to resist Japan, bid farewell to their parents, wives and children at home, and fought thousands of miles, many faces are no longer there.
Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned!
If you can survive, you must write down the names of the sacrificed robes, so that their achievements will live on forever.
"Zhang Xuanwu!"
"Here!"
"Have you all arrived?"
"It's just Mr. Zhou Tong, the magistrate of Teng County." The head of Zhang Xuanwu's 727th Regiment and the commander of the city defense of Teng County, who he appointed, was responsible for formulating the plan for the defense of the entire Teng County.
"Then wait, the time is not yet up."
"Commander-in-chief, County Magistrate Zhou has arrived!"
Wang Zhizhong looked up, and Zhou Tong, the county magistrate in a tunic suit, came in from outside with blood-red eyes.
"Okay, everyone is here, now the meeting is open!" Wang Zhizhong announced.
"Today we repelled the enemy, tomorrow's battle will be more intense, Teng County, has become a lonely city, fortunately, our supplies and ammunition are sufficient, when the reinforcements have not arrived, we can only rely on ourselves, repel the enemy, hold the county!"
"If the Japanese army is going to be difficult to enter, it is bound to occupy Teng County, and our army must hold it in Xuzhou. After a long war of resistance and annihilation of the Japanese army's living forces, we must defend Teng County to the death, give Chief Li time to calmly deploy our army, the bloody battle in Teng County is inevitable, everyone, we went out of Sichuan to resist Japan, even if it is sacrificed to the last person, we must hold Teng County, or that sentence, the city is in the people, the city is dead, and the people are dead, and the fight to the end! ”
"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!"
The officers and soldiers of the Sichuan army were not intimidated, and they were all high-spirited and enthusiastic, which made Wang Zhizhong feel very gratified.
"Now I would like to ask the chief of staff to talk about tomorrow's deployment!"
"Order, the 727th Regiment of the 364th Brigade of the 122nd Division and the Tengxian Security Regiment are responsible for the defense of the east and north walls of the city, and guard Beiguan with a force, and the 740th Regiment of the 370th Brigade of the 124th Division is responsible for the defense of Dongguan......"
"The 127th Division serves as the general reserve and guards Nanguan with a part of its forces!"
"All departments rushed to repair fortifications overnight, built air-raid shelters, and tied up a ladder for each squad to prepare for climbing the city wall!"
"Commander-in-chief, now that the Japanese army is besieging the city, although we plan to coexist with the county seat of Tengxian County, we still have to leave a retreat channel, once the reinforcements arrive, we will also be able to join forces with the outside!" Adjutant Luo Jiaxing suggested.
"Well, it makes sense, fight to the death, not die here......"
"It's not time to think about this matter, who dares to escape from the battle, don't blame me for the ruthless military law of Wang!" Wang Zhizhong ordered heavily.
"The tactics of the Japanese army are to attack one point repeatedly, and after making a breakthrough, they will develop in depth, so according to our speculation, the target of their important attack tomorrow is still Dongguan, as long as we concentrate on holding Dongguan......"
The Japanese army stormed for a day, spent thousands of shells, and once occupied Dongguan, but in the end it was still beaten out by the Chinese army, and this motley unit made Seya Kei reacquaint himself with the Chinese soldiers!
It's a bunch of tough guys, at least much tougher than the willpower of the Chinese troops they've encountered before, even though their equipment seems so inferior.
Ryosuke Isoya scolded Keiichi Seya on the phone, and Takehei Nase was even more down, demanding that the task of attacking Fuji County be handed over to him and replaced!
This forced Seya Kai made a military order in front of Ryosuke Isoya, and he will take Fuji County within two days!
