Ningyang, the headquarters of the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ryshi, great, this news came too timely, hahaha......" Major General Morita held a top-secret message from the intelligence department, large and small.
"General Morita, what is so pleased?"
"Kanda-kun, you can take a look." Morita handed the telegram to his chief of staff, Nakasa Kanda.
Kanda Nakasa's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the contents of the message, which was indeed excellent news for the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade.
"This is an excellent opportunity for us to eliminate the Chinese army in Yanzhou, and the establishment is not a meritorious service!" Morita's eyes flashed with a frenzied light.
On the morning of the 20th, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack, and Qufu once again turned into a sea of fire.
In addition to artillery, planes were also dispatched to violently bombard and strafe the positions of the 1st Division of Honor in Qufu, and the 391st Regiment of the 39th Brigade without artillery support was crumbling under the heavy bombardment of the Japanese army, and suffered heavy casualties.
"Battalion commander, battalion commander, our company commander is dead, I am the company deputy Hua Fugui...... The enemy's artillery fire was so heavy that our company suffered heavy casualties......"
"I don't care, Hua Fugui, from now on, that is the company commander, I order you to resist me, the people are in the position, take a step back, I will shoot you!" The commander of the first battalion, with tears in his eyes, gave the order.
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
Headquarters of the 39 Regiment of the 391 Brigade.
"Regiment commander, the casualties of the first battalion are too great, do you want to send someone to support?"
"No, it's not time yet, why did the Japanese army suddenly increase their attack and dispatch planes, which is a little unusual?" Qiao Guoliang stood in front of the map with a dark face and muttered to himself.
"Commander......"
"I said it's not time yet, it's not time yet, order a battalion, give me a position to defend the position, take a step back, I'll ask him!" Qiao Guoliang ignored the pleas of his subordinates.
"Yes!"
"Regiment Commander, Deputy Brigade Zhang's phone number!"
"Hey, I'm Zhang Zhongling." Qiao Guoliang took the receiver of the phone, and heard a stern and deep voice from inside.
"Deputy Brigade Zhang!"
"How's it going over there?"
"Early this morning, the Japanese army violently attacked our position as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, and also dispatched four planes to bomb and strafe our position, and our regiment suffered many casualties, but the position is still in hand."
"Very well, I order your regiment to hold out until after dark and retreat."
"Retreat?"
"Yes, retreat." Zhang Zhongling ordered.
"Deputy Brigade Zhang, I want to ask, why did you withdraw the 4th Artillery Regiment?" Qiao Guoliang was also angry in his heart, this was the time when the fight was fierce, and he suddenly withdrew the artillery regiment, so that he suddenly lost heavy fire support, and the pressure on the forward position suddenly doubled!
"It's not your business, fight hard, there will be a chance for revenge." Zhang Zhongling said.
"Yes." Qiao Guoliang put down the phone, he somewhat understood, the anomaly of the Japanese army was very likely to get accurate intelligence information, and they withdrew the artillery regiment here.
Wuhan, Luojia Mountain, Jiang Mansion.
"Who gave you the authority to transfer those two artillery regiments of the 1st Division of Honor?" Lao Jiang was really angry this time, and he also felt too much about He Jingzhi's behavior.
"Chairman of the committee, the First Corps has just been established, and there can be no strategic force in hand, the Honor First Division itself has two artillery regiments, including a heavy artillery regiment, Taierzhuang has ended, and the five artillery regiments under his command are really too extravagant, and in the entire GJ team, I am afraid that there is no one who is so arrogant as him, in view of the fact that he is still confronting the Tufeiyuan Division, I will leave the 17th Artillery Regiment behind, and transfer the 4th Artillery Regiment and the 7th Artillery Regiment out to enhance the combat effectiveness of the First Corps." He Jingzhi explained slowly.
"You want to transfer two artillery regiments to him, why don't you notify him in advance, even I don't know?" Of course, Lao Jiang would not believe his words.
"The 4th Artillery Regiment and the 7th Artillery Regiment are both directly under the Military Commission, and I am the chief of the General Staff, and the transfer of the two artillery regiments is within the scope of my authority, so I did not immediately report to the chairman."
"Then do you know that these two artillery regiments are still fighting on the front line, one has just finished fighting in Tengxian County, and the other is in Yanzhou, fighting with the Japanese army, and you are transferring them now, what do you let the soldiers on the front line think?"
"I really don't know about this......" A trace of abnormality flashed in He Jingzhi's eyes.
"You don't know, you don't know why you didn't investigate before giving the order?"
"This is my dereliction of duty, please punish the chairman!" He Jingzhi hurriedly admitted his mistake, how could he not know, but now he must not admit it.
"How to deal with this matter, you say?" Old Jiang asked coldly.
"Or, in the name of the Military Commission, I will issue another order, and the 4th Artillery Regiment will not be mobilized for the time being, and we will talk about it after this battle?" He Jingzhi asked.
"Military orders change day and night, like child's play?" Lao Jiang glared at He Jingyi fiercely and said.
He Jingzhi closed his mouth. Ba, don't open your mouth, even if this thing is deliberate, so what? Who let Leng Guoguang's honorary first division not be able to insert a needle and splash water, how do I know the use of your troops, and you have lost his face several times, and he has no shame on his face, he is the chief of the general staff, the number two person in the army, and he can't clean up your little major general and division commander?
Leng Feng knew who gave the order to transfer his two artillery regiments, and in addition to Lao Jiang, the only person who had this power was He Jingzhi, chief of the general staff of the Military Commission.
There are some contradictions between him and He Jingzhi, mainly because of face, in President He's opinion, he, a young man, should bow his eyebrows in front of him and be respectful.
But Leng Feng is not, it was originally a trivial matter, but it has evolved to the point where water and fire are incompatible, and it is really enough.
When he first received the order, Leng Feng was extremely annoyed, the soldiers in front fought bloodily, and the pig's head in the rear not only did not give support, but pulled back at the critical moment, this is simply a bastard bastard.
At that moment, he really wanted to hand the paper to Lao Jiang, and said well, if he didn't give him a reasonable explanation or explanation, he would turn this matter upside down.
Later, when I thought about it, Lao Tzu and these people couldn't pee in the same pot at all, so why bother with them to put this anger, and they were angry, it was still their own.
Besides, if the Japanese were allowed to take advantage of the loophole, it would be a great crime.
Yes, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let's not stop it.
People are still on their own!
This borrowed from someone else's hand is always someone else's, and it can't be trusted.
So, after receiving the order, the Fourth Artillery Regiment was withdrawn by Zhang Zhongling and sent out of Yanzhou, which embarrassed more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Artillery Regiment.
Especially the head of the regiment, Kong Qinggui, couldn't raise his head in shame.
"Commander, if we leave like this, will we still be able to hold our heads up and be human beings in the future?"
"That's it, regiment commander, what kind of order did Shangfeng give here, when the first division of honor was being employed, the top transferred us away, what does this mean?"
"Is Shangfeng's brain in water, how can he do such a thing?"
"The first division of honor doesn't treat us as outsiders, look at these days, what kind of treatment are we, and then look at the past, what kind of treatment are we?"
"If you want me to say, let's just leave, anyway, the order didn't say when you want us to report to the First Corps, how many days earlier, how many days later?"
"Yes, regiment commander, why don't we stay and help the brothers of the first division of honor fight devils for a few more days?"
"I'm afraid that if we want to, people don't want it." The head of the regiment, Kong Qinggui, smiled bitterly, if he really wanted to keep them, he would not have sent them out of Yanzhou so quickly.
"Commander, if we really leave like this, will we still have the face to see people in the future?"
"Commander, why don't you talk to Shangfeng and let us stay?"
"Commander......"
Looking at the pleading eyes of his subordinates in the room, Kong Qinggui finally made up his mind: "No matter, even if Shangfeng orders us to go, we won't go, we can't just leave, we must be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth." ”
"Commander, you are disobeying military orders!"
"The military order, the military order once said that we would watch our friendly brothers fight bloodily, and we would pat ourselves on the ass. Shares gone? Kong Qinggui snorted coldly, he didn't want to leave, if it weren't for the military order, he wouldn't be so hesitant, he couldn't choose for the entire 4th Artillery Regiment with his own selfishness.
"What, I can't pull it out for the time being, because of the weather, it's raining, what's going on with this Kong Qinggui?"
"Chief, according to our weather data, it's indeed raining over there?"
"How much rain?"
"It didn't rain much, but it was ......"
"Okay, I see." He Jingzhi sat down weakly, the 4th Artillery Regiment did not start immediately, this matter must be inseparable from the side of the Honorary First Division.
This Leng Guoguang, one set on the surface, one set behind the scenes, no wonder he didn't make trouble this time, it turned out that he had been prepared for a long time.
He wants to transfer the 4th Artillery Regiment, and the 4th Artillery Regiment will not leave by himself, what can you do?
Yuncheng, the former finger of the first division of honor.
"The 4th Artillery Regiment didn't leave, what's going on?"
"They left it by themselves, and Head Kong said, if they leave at this time, they really can't afford to lose that person." Hu Yanan reported.
"The order of the Military Council, what should they do?"
"They made an excuse that it was raining, the roads were muddy, and their artillery couldn't go, so they had to wait until the rain stopped." Hu Yanan felt that this reason was too far-fetched, if it rained, the troops would not be able to march and not fight.
This reason is too bad, but it is also a reason, if He Jingzhi pinched his nose and admitted it, then it would be fine, if he had to get along with himself, then he really had to stand out for the 4th Artillery Regiment.
At this time, how could it chill the hearts of more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the 4th Artillery Regiment?
"Give Commander Kong a telegram back, the 4th Artillery Regiment can stay in the Honor First Division for as long as you want." Leng Feng snorted, and without saying hello to himself, he transferred the artillery regiment under his command, even if you are the chief of staff, so what?
"Yes!"
On the night of the 20th, the Japanese army recaptured Qufu, and the first regiment of the new 39th Brigade retreated to Yanzhou.
That night, Xie Zaoshi led the heavy artillery regiment to Yanzhou.
In the early morning of the 21st, the new 39th Brigade launched a fierce attack on the main force of the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade in Qufu, with the Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 4th Artillery Regiment plus the two artillery battalions of the New 39th Brigade itself.
Adding up to more than 100 guns of large and small calibers, 3,000 shells were sent to the Japanese army in Qufu in one go!
Although the Japanese army reoccupied Qufu, it did not have time to repair the fortifications, and was stunned at once, and the old fortifications could not withstand the blow of heavy artillery at all, and after a round of artillery bombardment, the Japanese troops stationed in Qufu lost more than half.
Subsequently, the 391st Regiment relaunched an attack on Qufu and occupied Qufu again in less than three hours.
Qufu, a famous historical and cultural city, has been visited by Chinese and Japanese armies three times and three times, and almost all the ancient buildings have been seriously damaged, and some have become ruins.
Major General Morita, who had planned to rush from Ningyang to Qufu the next day, received the report, and his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted from fright.
"We unfilial descendants!" Standing on top of the ruins, Zhang Zhongling sighed with emotion.
"I order, all the new 39th Brigade will take advantage of the victory to pursue and prepare to attack Tai'an!"
