"Throne, whether you are fighting or leaving, you can get an idea! It's too late to rush. ”

"Throne, Throne ......"

The officers in the room shouted along. Although most of them asked for orders to fight, there was still a bit of panic in and out of the words.

In the final analysis, the 97th Army is still too young. Except for Deputy Commander Wang and others, most of these senior officers can be called veteran generals in the army, and most of the rest have suddenly reached high positions, although they have ability, they have experienced too few storms, and their mood still needs to be sharpened.

Zheng Weiguo walked to the main seat and sat down, waved his hand and said, "Don't make any noise, what kind of system!" The words were soft, but the room quickly fell silent.

With his hands pressed on the table, he looked around the room with confidence and composure in his eyes. Everyone looked at the beloved military commander in unison, and their eyes quickly became firm from the previous panic and dodge. With the commander here, no difficulties can be defeated!

In this silent exchange, the tension that had filled the room suddenly disappeared. As the saying goes, a soldier is a general's courage and a soldier's soul. In many cases, trust and understanding are stronger than any language.

Zheng Weiguo turned around and said to Chief of Staff Zhou: "Have you contacted the war zone, Chief Xue, Hu (Zongnan) and Yu (Jishi) and other commanders?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou coughed and said with some annoyance: "The war zone is now chaotic, and the orders issued are reversed. After a while, it was said that we would attack overnight and destroy Tufeiyuan before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements; After a while, he said that we should abandon the attack and retreat under alternate cover; There was another telegram just now. But he said, let us hold on to this place for a while, and wait for the right time......"

Hearing this, Zheng Weiguo couldn't help but curse. The officers burst into laughter.

Chief of Staff Zhou glared at everyone and said, "Blind coaxing!" He defended Chief Cheng again: "Now that there is no general in the war zone, and there are many military orders, it is not surprising that there is such chaos." It's just that we're caught in the middle, and it's hard to do! ”

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said, "Leave it alone!" What about them, Sir Xue? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said regretfully: "Chief Xue also seems to have lost control of the troops, and the two commanders Hu and Yu cannot be contacted at all, and I suspect that the 1st Army and the 74th Army are being transferred." ”

Duan Shuanghu said angrily: "It's better to call it transfer, but it's actually running away!" I'm embarrassed to say that I'm an elite. Phew! ”

Zheng Weiguo is waiting to be reprimanded. Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and the officers were startled, and there was a commotion in the room. This kind of thing is most taboo in the barracks at night, because it can easily lead to the tragedy of the camp roar (i.e., mutiny in the camp). In severe cases, it can even lead to the bombing of the entire force.

Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly shouted: "You two go out and have a look!" If someone takes advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. No toleration! "The two officers in charge of the guard and the internal guard left in a hurry. But. I just walked for a while, and I came back again.

Zheng Weiguo asked, "What's going on?" ”

An officer replied: "Report to the military seat, hundreds of national troops have fled overnight. They broke into our barracks in a daze, and a few unlucky people stepped on the warning mines, and as a result, some misunderstandings occurred. ”

Ren Zhuzi asked: "Are you sure these people are trespassing by mistake?" When all the officers heard this, they all looked nervously. It's better to say if it's a mistake, but if not, hehe, it's going to be a lot of fun tonight.

The officer replied: "Judging by his expression, he is extremely flustered, and there is no doubt that the army will be defeated." ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded, and asked again, "Which army are they?" ”

The officer replied: "More than a dozen people have been interrogated, including those of the 27th Army, the 64th Army, and the 8th Army!" ”

When Chief of Staff Zhou heard this, his face turned worried, and he said: "Junzao, I think things are very wrong, the 27th Army and the 64th Army are not far from us, and it makes sense to flee here, but the 8th Army is so far away, why did it come here?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Then what do you think? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "I suspect that the Eastern Route Army and the blocking force have completely collapsed, even the First Army and the 74th Army are included!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the house. If that were the case, the situation would be completely ruined. Although everyone said that it would not be enough, most of them had agreed with the chief of staff in their hearts. What kind of beating nature is the national army, how can they not know?

Those who have read history know that there is no battle that the national army does not dare to lose, and it is these failures without any bottom line that have achieved one myth after another for the Japanese army. A brigade chases a division to fight, this is called the norm, and a brigade chases an army of 100,000 to fight, and it is not once or twice. As for two or three Japanese soldiers blocking the way of a division of the Nationalist Army, it was also a common thing. A laughing stock for the ages!

Historically, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army marched eastward, and all units of the National Army were in great confusion and fled one after another, and none of them dared to meet the enemy head-on. The only thing that constrained the speed of the Japanese advance was their logistics.

In history, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army successively captured Qixian, Tongxu, and Chenliu, and Wang Jinzai, the commander of the newly formed 35th Division stationed in Lanfeng, did not fire a single shot and fled. The 14th Division, which was originally in trouble, continued to advance westward after receiving supplies, and the 141st Division of Song Kentang, which was defending Kaifeng, was so frightened that it fled overnight.

At the same time, the 16th Division successively occupied Weishi and Fugou, and the 10th Division occupied Zhecheng. The situation has deteriorated from the previous good to the worse.

Xue Yue called Shang Zhen: "Song Shi withdrew from Kaifeng without authorization, and ordered to stick to the line from Zhongmu County to Zhongmu Station...... Those who dare to retreat without authorization without being ordered will be dealt with strictly according to law! ”

However, the Japanese soldiers approached the city, and Song Kentang fled. Xue Yue had already been promoted to the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in a war zone at that time, but he had no way to take Master Song.

Because there were many high-ranking officers who retreated and fled without permission at that time, and they were widely implicated, only taking the 187th Division of the 64th Army as an example, the regiment commander Zhang Dingguang retreated without authorization on June 2 when he was guarding Zhupigang in Qi County; Zhang Shumin, chief of staff of the division, repeatedly instigated retreat, and dared to abandon his post and abscond; Brigade Commander Xie Xizhen first withdrew from Zhupigang, and without reporting to the division commander, even under the pretext of containment, he took a car south; Ye Geng was often the brigade commander, when the battle of Sui County. Suddenly reported missing, and afterwards heard that he had changed his clothes and went to Hankou.

Those who have read the previous article know that the 64th Army is still the main force, and it fought quite well in the first few stages of the Battle of Lanfeng. The 187th Division is still like this, and others like Gui Yongqing's 27th Army and Huang Jie's 8th Army, who fled all the way, can be imagined.

After listening to Chief of Staff Zhou's words, Zheng Weiguo's face immediately became gloomy, because he knew that what Chief of Staff Zhou said was very likely to be true, and it might even be worse than what he said.

Hearing the officers talking about retreating to the north bank overnight, Duan Shuanghu suddenly slapped the table. shouted angrily: "Military seat." Senza, I don't believe the little devils are advancing so fast! I didn't even see the face of the devil and ran away, and I fought a fart battle, and I resisted a fart day. ”

"That's right! Someone else ran away. Let's not run! Even if the little devil comes. We're not afraid. Do it with them! As soon as I heard this voice, I knew that it was Li Dazhuang, deputy commander of the 34th Brigade, another militant in the 97th Army in addition to Duan Shuanghu.

Zheng Weiguo nodded approvingly and said, "Very good!" His tone suddenly became stern. "I command!" ”

Hearing this, the officers, including Chief of Staff Zhou, all stood up with a sigh.

"Zhang Haiyan!"

"Here!"

"You quickly return to the camp to reorganize the troops, march east overnight, enter Guo Duo Village, and then nail me there like a nail!" Guoduozhai is a traffic artery, and later generations are the intersection of G106, G220, G310 three national highways. Occupying this place, you can hold the Lanfeng City to the east, and you can threaten the Longhai Line to the south. Geography is very important.

"Yes, Throne!"

"Go ahead! Zhang Zhankui! Zheng Weiguo hesitated for a moment, and then ordered another general.

"Humble duty!"

"Brigade Commander Zhang, you made great contributions when you first arrived in our department, and you shouldn't have been let run around again. However, most of our cavalry are on the north shore, so I have to work hard for you. ”

"The military seat is polite, as a soldier, he should serve the country, how dare he say bitterness!"

"Good! Brigade Commander Zhang, you quickly return to the battalion to transfer troops and horses, and use the company as a unit to pull the net to search, and find that the national army is routed and immediately contained, and those who dare to disobey will be killed! ”

Hearing this murderous order, Brigade Commander Zhang finally hesitated and said, "Commander, dare to ask, what if you run into a high-ranking officer?" ”

"I'll write you a handwritten warrant, and the teacher has issued a decree to correct the Fa!"

"Yes, Throne!"

……

Once he made up his mind, Zheng Weiguo no longer hesitated. Orders were issued one after another, and the troops were moved one after another, and even the 4th Cavalry Division and the 35th Infantry Brigade, which were far away on the north bank, were urgently mobilized by him.

In a short time, all the officers who were full of sons were driven out of the city. Whether they win or lose tomorrow depends on their performance. Chief of Staff Zhou looked at Zheng Weiguo and said with admiration: "Junzao, you are more decisive than before!" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled bitterly: "You don't understand! This is the evil I have brought on me, and I will pay for it. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou was puzzled and said, "Where does this start!" Without you, the situation would have been much worse than it is now! ”

A traverser tried his best, killed and injured more than 10,000 of his subordinates, and annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, but in the end, the situation was even more sinister than in history. This is not humor, but the real situation that Zheng Weiguo faced.

Historically, the Japanese army approached Lanfeng on June 3, and the 14th Division escaped on June 4 before returning to the division to occupy Lanfeng, and now, it is only May 27, and all departments of the national army began to rush to escape, and Lanfeng City is also in danger.

What could happen for Lang? The answer is very simple, Zheng Weiguo forced it out! Tu Feiyuan is now at the end of the road, tomorrow's sun can still be seen, tomorrow's moon is probably not visible.

Who is Tu Feiyuan? He was the commander of the lieutenant general division of the 14th Division! Since the beginning of the war, there has been no precedent for the death of a lieutenant general or division commander in the Japanese army, let alone the total annihilation of a permanent horse-pulling division. The commander of the First Army, Kiyoji Kazuki, could not afford this responsibility, and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Branch Dispatch Army, Shouichi Terauchi, could not bear this responsibility either.

Therefore, there was a rescue operation two days earlier than in history, and the 16th Division rushed overnight regardless of danger and logistics!

"Report!" Zheng Weiguo was immersed in the hesitation of changing history and being changed by history, when a loud voice woke him up suddenly.

"What's the situation?" Somehow, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Military seat, an urgent call from the war zone!" (To be continued......)
