November 29, Jima Village, west of Nanxun City, the headquarters of the Right Wing Army.

When Long Shaogang led Dai Ziran, Yang Sixian, Zou Qi and others into the headquarters compound, there was already a lot of noise in the treasury of the Lu family, a big landlord in Nanxun, who temporarily served as a conference room.

Zhang Fakui sat in the center, Liu Jianxu, commander of the 10th Group Army, sat on his left, Tao Guang, commander of the 28th Army, on his right, and then on both sides of the conference table sat Tao Liu, Chen Guangzhong, Li Songshan, Dai Minquan, Lu Xingrong, Gu Jiaqi and other generals, and then on the back were the chiefs of staff of each division, brigade, and regiment.

If you have a heart to count silently, the Hunan army generals and colonels here account for most of them.

Chen Guangzhong, the commander of the 63rd Division, stood up straight, looked at Zhang Fakui with blazing eyes, his face was extremely sad, and his voice was terrible:

"Commander Zhang, Chief Liu, Chief Tao, I really can't fight anymore. Most of the brothers suffered casualties, and it would be good to have half of the officers and men of each regiment below. Our 63rd Division has fought hard in Guangchen, Luxiang, Fengjing, Jiashan, and Jiaxing on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay, and has not yet replenished its personnel and weapons and equipment...... If we continue to fight, our division will be lost."

Chen Guangzhong's words were echoed by other division commanders, and Tao Liu, the commander of the 62nd Division, stood up, his voice choked: "Division Commander Chen is not wrong at all, although our Hunan army is fearless of life and death, but it is also unwilling to fight this kind of confused battle where there is no hope of victory. At that time, the entire southern front will collapse without a fight"

Seeing Chen Guangzhong and Tao Liu taking the lead, Dai Minquan, commander of the 45th Division, Lu Xingzong, commander of the 52nd Division, and Li Songshan, commander of the 55th Division, also responded in unison, but Gu Jiaqi, commander of the 128th Division, was silent and did not express his position.

Liu Jianxu looked at Zhang Fakui with an embarrassed expression.

Chen Guangzhong, Tao Liu and others are his old subordinates, although the 62nd and 63rd divisions and other divisions accepted the central reorganization into adjustment divisions, but Liu Jianxu broke bones and tendons, and the relationship between them was close and continuous, and all divisions were very difficult, as the boss of the Hunan army, Liu Jianxu naturally hoped that the troops could retreat and rest for a few days, but Chiang Kai-shek's orders could not but be disobeyed, Liu Jianxu was very embarrassed, so he simply remained silent at the beginning and handed over the problem to Zhang Fakui to deal with.

"What nonsense? Holding on for one month is a death order given by Chairman Chiang, and even if we are not good, we will always have to keep it for half a month. You always emphasize difficulties and difficulties, and you don't want to think that little Japan is not having a good time - now the Shanghai-Hangzhou, Beijing-Shanghai, and Sujia railways have been completely destroyed by the rout, and the main highways have also been mined by the engineers of the New Second Division, and the Japanese army's logistical materials cannot be transported at all...... The Japanese are not iron-clad, they also have to eat, and after continuous battles, it is estimated that their ammunition is almost exhausted, and we may not be weaker than them."

Speaking of this, Zhang Fakui sneered, stared at Chen Guangzhong, Tao Liu and others, and reprimanded loudly: "It is said that the Hunan army is brave, I can't see it, maybe it is more appropriate to describe it as timid as a mouse, who dares to shake the heart of the army, don't blame me for engaging in military law"

"Ahh

Chen Guangzhong let out a long sigh, met Zhang Fakui's contemptuous gaze without fear, and spoke eloquently: "Commander, it's not that the brothers don't sell their lives, but that the Japanese army is too much better than us in terms of individual soldier quality and weapons and equipment. There are planes on and artillery below, how do you let us defend them? ”

"Besides, the second and seventh divisions of the Japanese army are rushing towards Jiaxing, and the next step must be to force the Nanxun line...... If we don't retreat again, we won't be able to leave if we want to, and when the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we won't be able to leave. ”

Chen Guangzhong broke such a fierce news, Tao Guang, Dai Minquan, Lu Xingzong and others changed their faces greatly, and immediately made noise and muttered, strongly demanding to retreat, saying that they did not want to fight again.

Zhang Fakui's face was gloomy, and he turned his head to look at Liu Jianxu angrily.

He did not tell the army commanders and division commanders below the news that the Japanese Second Division and the Seventh Division were heading south to Jiaxing, because he was afraid that their cowardice would lead to unstable morale. Now seeing Liu Jianxu's face full of guilt, Zhang Fakui knew that this guy must have leaked the news.

However, this is not the time to hold Liu Jianxu responsible, Zhang Fakui said to Chen Guangzhong, Tao Liu and others with a cold face: "The Japanese army has reinforcements from the second and seventh divisions, and we also have reinforcements. Didn't I already report it yesterday? Chairman Chiang specially ordered the New Second Division to come to Nanxun——"

"Commander, although the new 2nd Division annihilated a division of the Japanese army on the Pinghu line, it also suffered heavy casualties. Besides, the Japanese reinforcements are not ordinary divisions, even if Wu Ming brings the entire New Second Division over, it will not be able to withstand the attack of the Second and Seventh Divisions, which are among the best in the Japanese army, not to mention that only part of the New Second Division is the reinforcement they sent......" Tao Guang, the commander of the 28th Army, who had been silent before, interjected.

"yes"

Chen Guangzhong hurriedly echoed the commander's words: "The Second and Seventh Divisions are first-class divisions of the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness is strong, especially the division commander of the Second Division, Okamura Ningji, who has a great reputation and is a high-level core figure of the Japanese army.

After listening to the speeches of Tao Guang and Chen Guangzhong, Tao Liu, Dai Minquan, Lu Xingzong and others also suggested that Zhang Fakui retreat quickly, and many people even rolled up their sleeves and forced Zhang Fakui to the palace with the unique strength of martial arts.

Listening to the frustrating words of the generals, Zhang Fakui held the teacup, his knuckles turned white from the force, and he really wanted to smash them in the face, asking them where the blood and courage of the Hunan people had gone?

"Coward"

Long Shaogang, Dai Ziran, Yang Sixian, Zou Qi and others, who walked in from outside and heard this strange remark, could no longer bear it. Dai Ziran broke the silence with a disdainful sneer, and then asked sharply:

"Is this still the Hunan army that I remember without Hunan and without an army? What you can't do, just say that our new Second Division can't achieve it, it's really a big joke in the world, when will our new Second Division not be able to complete the task assigned by the superiors, it's really a joke that in Pinghu, the Japanese army has planes, there are naval guns on the sea, the terrain is flat, unobstructed, our new Second Division is united, and it is not the same as annihilating the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, and by the way, the 6th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery will be cleaned up together, if it is not for the rapid defeat of some troops, we will not lose the area of Quangongting and Jinshanwei that we have recovered. Now those remnants of the defeated generals still have the face to say that our new second division is not ......"

This voice was so abrupt and so discordant, Liu Jianxu, Tao Guang and the others turned their heads in surprise, and at a glance they saw Long Shaogang and his party standing at the door.

Dai Ziran glanced at Liu Jianxu with disdain, and then said: "Our supplementary brigade regiment is in Jiaxing City, and it only takes one night to recover Jiaxing County and annihilate more than 4,000 people of the Sixth Division, which is also the elite of the Japanese army, but it is a shame that some fish belly troops lost the city during the day, and they also failed miserably when they stole the weapons and equipment of our troops."

"Ziran, don't talk nonsense, no matter how friendly they are, we have to take care of other people's feelings" Long Shaogang seemed to scold, but his words were full of sarcasm.

"Yes"

Dai Ziran responded, cocked his nose proudly, and glanced at Liu Jianxu, Tao Guang and others with disdain.

Seeing the appearance of the new Second Division, Liu Jianxu and Tao Guang's faces turned red all of a sudden, although Dai Ziran did not name them, but they all knew that the defeated generals of the Dao Dao were talking about them, where did they have the face to refute Dai Ziran's words?

Under the gaze of dozens of generals and colonels of the Right Wing Army, Long Shaogang stepped forward, saluted Zhang Fakui, and then reported the situation of leading his troops to help.

Zhang Fakui asked anxiously: "Now the situation facing the Nanxun front line is extremely dangerous, can your new third division resist the attack of the Japanese army?" ”

After making eye contact with Dai Ziran, Yang Sixian, Zou Qi and others, Long Shaogang nodded heavily, and said to Zhang Fakui: "We came this time, and the division specially explained the combat policy, thinking that the 6th and 18th divisions of the Japanese army and the Kunizaki detachment that were pressing towards us at this time were exhausted. We will be able to crush our opponent in one fell swoop before the Japanese follow-up forces arrive. ”

"What? Defeat the 6th and 18th Divisions and the Kunisaki detachment? Tao Guang opened his mouth wide in surprise, just now he suggested retreating, but now Long Shaogang said that he could attack, isn't this a slap in the face?

After listening to Long Shaogang's answer, the generals and colonels of the Right Wing Army in the conference room were in an uproar, feeling like listening to a book from heaven, is this possible?

Zhang Fakui was not, the first regiment of the supplementary brigade of the new second division had already surprised him before, but he didn't expect Long Shaogang to send a bigger surprise, and asked excitedly at the moment: "Deputy division commander Long, they all say that there is no joke in the army, what you say now, I have to take it seriously."

Long Shaogang smiled and continued: "Of course, our new second division has always advocated attack, and our division once said that the best defense is to attack, only attack can boost morale, and only attack can bring into play the true ability of the troops."

Zhang Fakui was even more surprised, but thinking about it, since the new Second Division joined the Songhu battlefield, there has been continuous good news, and the other troops have lost their troops, but they can always win at the smallest cost. Such things happened repeatedly, and the generals of the national army were moved to wonder if they had any secrets in their hearts.

Zhang Fakui was forced into the palace by the generals just now, and he was extremely depressed, but now that he is rescued by Long Shaogang, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. He glanced at Tao Guang and the others with raised eyebrows, and teased Liu Jianxu: "Just now, Commander Tao and the others wanted to retreat, but the temporary third division wanted to take the initiative to attack, the contrast is too great...... Lao Liu, what do you think? ”

"Yes, yes, Wu Ming's troops always act unexpectedly, and they are worthy of being praised by the chairman of the National Committee" Liu Jianxu tried to squeeze out a smile, but it was a hundred times more ugly than crying, and it was as greasy as swallowing flies.

Zhang Fakui adjusted his mood and asked, "Deputy Division Commander Long, let me ask you again, you said that you can replace defense with offense, is this true?" ”

"It's true, I, Long Shaogang, will never dare to joke with military orders," Long Shaogang said without humility or arrogance, his face was calm.

"Okay, I appreciate your blood, unlike some people who have weak legs when they see the Japanese" Zhang Fakui praised and asked, "How are you going to attack?" ”

Long Shaogang glanced at Dai Ziran behind him, Dai Ziran nodded knowingly, took out a file from his briefcase, and handed it to Zhang Fakui:

"Commander, this is the battle plan we have formulated... We are preparing to launch an attack on the Japanese in the early hours of tomorrow morning, but we will need friendly cooperation. ”

Zhang Fakui took a cursory glance at the battle plan, and slapped the table heavily: "Okay" Then, Zhang Fakui couldn't help but praise, looked at Long Shaogang and the others, and said: "You can go to the munitions warehouse, but if you can use the weapons and equipment, you can replenish them yourself, and you don't have to report to me."

With a single sentence, Zhang Fakui opened the door of the quartermaster warehouse of the Right Wing Army to the Third Division.

Dai Ziran behind Long Shaogang pouted, Zhang Fakui retreated from the Songhu front line to Pingwang alone, and did not carry military funds at all, and then retreated from Jiaxing to Nanxun, the battle situation has reached this point, the arsenal can run mice, what else to talk about to replenish yourself?
