Chapter Thirty-Nine: Plotting Itagaki
"Commander, after all, I am the commander of the Twentieth Army Corps appointed by the chairman, if you want to remove me, I have nothing to say, but I hope you will consider the attitude of the chairman, after all, he has just left Xuzhou." Tang Enbo's meaning is very clear, the chairman of the committee has just left Xuzhou, and you have made a move against the imperial party, do you look down on the chairman too much?
"Fuguo, Commander Tang is really very attentive in resisting Japan, the bloody battle at Nankou, our Commander Tang went to the firing line in person, and he did not withdraw from the battlefield when the situation was at its most critical, even the Red Party praised the anti-Japanese iron man, you chose to withdraw the words of the commander of the Tang Army at this time, and changed generals before the battle, and lost morale." The chief of staff of the 20th Group suggested to Liu Yuan.
And Wang Zhonglian also said to Tang Enbo, "Commander, the current battle in Linyi is really very anxious, let's hurry up and support." If Linyi is lost, the whole of Xuzhou will be unstable, and the chairman of the committee will definitely be to blame at that time. ”
Tang Enbo heard the warning in Wang Zhonglian's words, if Linyi was lost, no matter what the result of the battle of Xuzhou was, there would be no good fruit to eat, and with Han Fuqu's experience, the chairman of the committee would not be able to protect himself.
Liu Yuan glanced at Tang Enbo, whose eyes had been changing, and knew that he was also fighting ideas in his heart, and if he had ideological worries, it was easy to say.
Liu Yuan waved his hand, Ning Bo also withdrew from the command headquarters with people, Liu Yuan said to Tang Enbo, "Commander Tang, the situation is indeed too urgent, only you can support Linyi now, I only hope that you can hold on to Linyi for two days, and then you can withdraw from the first and fifth war zones." ”
Liu Yuan's eyes were extremely indifferent, this look Tang Enbo had seen it, it was the same as when he saw Han Fuqu, but Han Fuqu had already committed suicide in fear of crime, that was the general of the party-state, so he committed suicide.
Many officers had participated in the combat meeting of the Xuzhou camp, and naturally saw the contempt in Liu Yuan's eyes for deserters.
So the officers of the Twentieth Legion, the whole small universe broke out. It's one thing not to go to the battlefield yourself, it's another thing for people not to let you go to the battlefield.
"General!" Wang Zhonglian blushed, and the blue tendons on his head burst out, "I am a soldier of the party-state, and the country is in the most dangerous time, I am not qualified to fight, and you can't exclude soldiers who are willing to resist the war." ”
"Commander, this is a bit excessive, are you looking down on our 20th Army Corps in doing this, our 20th Army has never been afraid of the Japanese." The chief of staff said dissatisfied.
"Linyi is right in front of you, but you have been delayed in supporting and watching the friendly troops die on the front line, how dare I put you in a more important position, I am afraid that I am fighting on the front line, and the Japanese can swagger and shoot behind me, now I only need you to hold on to Linyi for two days, and in these two days I can give you an independent air force squadron, the right to use the heavy artillery division in the theater."
Soldiers are all good-looking, Liu Yuan is obviously agitated, and he also gave Tang Enbo a step, if Tang Enbo doesn't know how to lift, he is likely to be unlucky today.
Tang Enbo is really an understanding person, and said to Liu Yuan, Commander Liu, I, Tang Enbo, am not a person who is afraid of death, and you don't need to use the imminent method. Even if Linyi is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will go, I only hope that the commander can consider the lives of the soldiers of the 20th Army Corps.
"Sure enough, you are a soldier of the party-state, and your choice is very wise." Liu Yuan walked to the main seat and said, "Wang Zhonglian, you lead the 85th Army to Linyi immediately, at the latest at 12 o'clock at noon, Chief of Staff, you take a division to Yujialing, responsible for harassing the flank of Banyuan, and Division Commander Wang Dagui is responsible for leading the 139th Division to defend against the Japanese mobile troops. The rest of the troops were commanded by Commander Townenburg. ”
Tang Enbo looked at Liu Yuan in a daze for a long time, he didn't expect that in just a while, Liu Yuan had already given the order on his behalf.
And what didn't make him react was that his subordinates actually said to Liu Yuan, "Obey the order," which made Tang Enbo feel very faceless.
After the commanders left, Liu Yuan pulled Tang Enbo to the map and said, "Commander Tang, please take a look." ”
Tang Enbo looked at it, in such a short period of time, Liu Yuan has completed the map homework, a very standard map homework, in Tang Enbo's opinion, his chief of staff does not have this ability, it seems that Liu Yuan can go to this day, that is really a real kung fu.
On the map, the situation of the enemy and the enemy is clearly marked, and the two heavy armies of the Japanese army are clearly marked.
"Itagaki asked Ryosuke Isoya to fight against Hu Lian's troops, while he himself attacked Linyi, do you know what Lu Dao is for? One is that Hu Lian, this kid can only be good at fighting, and when he also has a contact in Banyuan, and most of his subordinates have a lot of losses in the process of fighting with you at the south entrance, although they are equipped with 16 divisions, their strength is not as good as before. ”
Itagaki is indeed empty, which Tang Enbo can also see, in the past, he Itagaki had so much attention to fighting, and his flanks did not need to defend at all, he always attacked.
But this time they attacked Linyi, their flanks were tightly protected, and they also retained a mobile force, responsible for harassment and reconnaissance, which can be said to be leaky, and an arrogant general did this, which can only prove that his arrogant capital is gone, that is, his division has been hit hard in Nankou.
The little devil has always been hard-mouthed, and the press and speech department of the national government are a group of second-class goods, killing one person, multiplying it by five, and killing a thousand people, dividing it by ten. Although Itagaki kept saying that he didn't die much, there must have been a lot of sacrifices.
"Do you know the truth? The 75th Wing in Yujialing is a reserve force, and it can be said that the 12th Brigade and Regiment are all reserve wings, and there is a big gap between them and the combat effectiveness of the original unit. Liu Yuan said to Tang Enbo.
"Commander, forgive me for being humble and clumsy, I don't know what Commander Lu Dao said." Tang Enbo felt so tired talking to Liu Yuan that he couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
In fact, Liu Yuan felt that it was really tiring to talk to Tang Enbo, if he told Du Yuming, Zuo Quan and others about his plans, as long as he had a little bit, they would have a reaction, and sometimes Zuo Quan could improve his plans.
"Itagaki this guy seems to be very neatly arranged, but he has weaknesses, the little devil is so short, he just wants to eat the whole of Shandong, he is not satisfied, and he wants to continue to eat, where did they get so much appetite, now their troops are insufficient, you see what Hu Lian relied on to hold the attack of Isoya Ryosuke, it is not that he has seen the shortcomings of the little devil's lack of troops, and has been taking care of their flanks, if we send a team of elite soldiers, starting from here, to kill the sixteenth division of the little devil, then Itagaki days." Although Liu Yuan didn't say anything further, he already understood it very well.
Tang Enboxian looked at Ryosuke Isoya, this old devil was competing with Liu Zhi and Hu Lian's two teams, and he couldn't help Itagaki at all.
He now has a general understanding of Liu Yuan's idea, that is, to take the initiative to attack the flank of the Japanese army, this point of view, General Xue Yue has already put forward at the national defense conference, and it is not new.
"Do we have enough troops? The strength of the two divisions and one brigade of the Japanese army is at least 70,000, and we only have 120,000, and even if we count the other troops, it will not exceed 170,000. Tang Enbo asked worriedly.
"Captain Tang, it seems that I need to tell you the essence of this war, look." Liu Yuan picked up the chopsticks and ate the supper just brought by the guard on Tang Enbo's table, a bowl of rice balls, one by one.
