Chapter 231: A Sharp Turn
Zheng Weiguo opened his eyes in a daze and found that the sun had risen high. There was a burst of shouting and shouting in the courtyard, and when I got up, I saw that the pillar was practicing martial arts with the guards of the security department.
Since yesterday afternoon, Zheng Huzi and his subordinates have had a pre-war carnival and tossed until midnight before going to sleep. Coupled with the relaxation of the nerves, it was rare to have a lazy sleep.
Hearing the movement, the pillar hurriedly ran to the window and said, "Commander, you are awake!" ”
Zheng Weiguo rubbed his head and said, "What time is it, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" ”
Zhu Zi smiled: "It was the chief of staff who said to let you sleep a little longer, anyway, it's not a big deal today." ”
Zheng Weiguo sighed and said, "Didn't Tu Feiyuan send troops to attack last night?" ”
Zhu Zi laughed and scolded: "You are really accurate, but this old thing did not start until three o'clock in the morning, and the wind by the river was strong, and the brothers almost didn't catch a cold at night." ”
Zheng Weiguo smiled: "He is really calm, I thought he would do it at one or two o'clock!" How's it going, is it going well? ”
Zhu Zi's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Why didn't it go well?" Brigade Commander Zhao personally led two companies to flank the left and right, and beat them fiercely, killing more than 100 devils on the spot. The rest of the devils were so frightened that they turned around and ran, and they didn't even dare to take the wounded with them, and the unlucky ones howled until this morning. You didn't watch that scene, it's a fucking hate......"
Zheng Weiguo suddenly interrupted him and said, "That's not right! Why was Brigade Commander Zhao setting up an ambush, didn't he say that he would let the 36th Brigade go? "After these rounds of fighting, the casualties of the 33rd and 34th brigades were very large. So Zheng Weiguo put Qi Sixian's 36th Brigade on top, so that the other two brigades could rest in peace.
Zhu Zi said: "Brigade Commander Zhao got the news from somewhere, and insisted on avenging their second battalion. Chief of Staff Zhou was so entangled by Brigade Commander Zhao that he had no choice but to let Brigade Commander Qi change with him. ”
Zheng Weiguo said angrily: "Revenge, revenge, only know how to take revenge!" They don't suffer many casualties, do they? ”
Zhu Zi hurriedly said: "Twelve brothers were killed in the battle, and only about thirty were wounded. ”
Zheng Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's about the same, I'm afraid that this guy will rush up without his life, if he loses two more companies." Who am I crying to? ”
Zhu Zi smiled: "Brigade Commander Zhao fought quite fiercely. If it weren't for the heavy artillery of the devils, maybe even the ferry would have been recaptured! ”
Zheng Weiguo also smiled. A general from the Northwest Army, not to mention anything else, there is really nothing to say about fighting. In terms of bravery. Ma Jiajun and Gui Jun couldn't catch up.
As he spoke. Director Xiong suddenly walked in from outside the courtyard and said, "Pillar, the military seat hasn't risen yet!" He came in and looked. Unexpectedly, Zheng Weiguo was also there, and said with some embarrassment: "Military seat, it's early!" ”
Zheng Weiguo scolded with a smile: "Morning fart, it's almost eight o'clock." If I had woken up later, I might have heard you speak ill of me. ”
Director Xiong smiled: "Look at what you said, where can it!" Don't you dare to borrow one of us, aren't you? ”
Zhu Zi smiled: "Do you not want to or don't dare?" You cultural people are the most yin, a belly of ghost ideas! ”
Director Xiong said angrily: "Go, I'm not that kind of Sven scum!" Take a look at this, this is the rest and reorganization plan of the various departments of the 97th Army's Eastern Expedition drawn up by me. As he spoke, he handed a wad of paper to Zheng Weiguo.
Zheng Weiguo picked it up and looked at it for a while, and said, "You have set too long a time to recuperate, how can there be such a long time for us to rest?" In my opinion, it would be nice to have three days of peace, and that's not counting the troops who were building fortifications on the periphery of the ferry. ”
Director Xiong said, "Junza, I think your prediction of the situation is too pessimistic. The fighting on the north shore is now largely over, and the centre of gravity has returned to the south bank. What big battles can we fight on the North Shore? At most, it is to block the ferry and prevent Tufeiyuan from crossing the river and escaping. But in fact, it is extremely unlikely that Tufeiyuan will cross the Yellow River northward. ”
The pillar interjected and said, "Why is it so small that you don't cross the river when you die?" If you really don't cross the river, why send a brigade to guard the ferry? You also said it yourself, Tu Feiyuan is bent on crossing the river, and we can't stop it at all! ”
Director Xiong smiled: "Don't understand, right? Just such a small ferry in Chenliukou, how many people can be crossed every day? If you are halfway through the crossing, all the units of the national army will force the ferry together, and the rest of the devils will have to finish playing. Not to mention the heavy equipment you carry, don't even think about crossing the river with you. Do you say that Tu Feiyuan dared to fight for such a big loss and order the whole army to cross the river? If he really dares to do this, hey, wait for the court-martial! ”
Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "You only saw the plight of the Japanese army, but you didn't think of the plight of the national army. ”
Director Xiong said suspiciously: "What are the difficulties of the national army at the moment? Commander Hu Zongnan's 17th Army is advancing eastward from Kaifeng, and the army under the command of General Li Hanxun is also pressing the enemy's right route army to the west. The situation is very favorable to me! ”
The current situation is that the 14th Division of the Japanese Army is surrounding Lanfeng City like a coiled snake, with the 27th Army under the command of Gui Yongqing inside, the 71st Army, the 64th Army, the 74th Army, the 61st Division, and the 106th Division outside, and the Northern Route Army under the command of Shang Zhen, Hu Zongnan's 17th Army, Huang Jie's 8th Army and Zheng Huzi's 97th Army.
The 14th Division is powerful, this is undeniable, but they have been surrounded by the national army, and there is no danger to defend, and the situation is quite dangerous. In particular, Lan Fengcheng was embedded in the middle of the Japanese army's snake formation like a nail, dividing the main force of the 14th Division and the right column into two, which was of great significance to the entire battlefield.
Director Xiong felt very unconvinced, he casually drew the situation between the enemy and us on the ground, and then said to Zheng Weiguo: "Junzuo, tell me, in the current situation, what other way does the 14th Division have to turn over?" ”
Zheng Weiguo glanced at it and said disapprehantly: "Your so-called internal and external encirclement is just relying on Lan Feng City in the hands of our army, what if Lan Feng City falls?" ”
Director Xiong picked up a small stone and placed it in the position of Lan Feng City, and said, "Lost? How can it be! Lanfengcheng is defended by a whole army of the 27th Army, and the 36th and 46th divisions are the elite of the Central Army. Aren't the two German mechanics as good as Pang Bingxun's miscellaneous division? ”
Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment, sighed and said, "I hope so!" ”
In his vague memory, it seems that it was because of the fall of Lanfeng City that led to the defeat of the battle, and the loss of Shangqiu became the last straw that broke the camel's back. But how exactly he lost it, Zheng Weiguo really can't remember clearly. Judging from the current situation, not to mention sticking to five days and five nights, even if it only lasts for three days, it is enough to drink a pot of soil and fertilizer.
Seeing that Director Xiong was so sure, Zhu Zi said half-jokingly: "Old Xiong, you are so confident in Lan Fengcheng?" That guy who guards Lanfeng seems to be called Gui Yongqing, right? I have heard that when he was in Nanjing, he abandoned his troops and fled first. As a result, the CSKA Teaching Corps was almost wiped out. ”
Commissioner Xiong snorted. retorted: "How can you believe what is hearsay, I only ask you, if Chief Gui is really so unbearable, how can the chairman of the committee still entrust him with a heavy responsibility?" ”
The pillar scratched his head. Awkwardly said, "Ugh." I don't know what to do! ”
Director Xiong said, "Let's not talk about Chief Gui for the time being. There are also chariot battalions and armored search battalions led by Commander Qiu Qingquan in Lanfeng City! You should have heard of Chief Qiu's name, although it is not as good as our military seat, but it is also a well-known No. 1 character. Germany learns the military! ”
The pillar thought for a moment and said, "This name is really familiar, I seem to have seen it there!" After thinking for a while, he patted his head and exclaimed, "Come to remember, isn't it the one who drove a tank car to destroy a cavalry wing of the Japanese army a few days ago?" ”
Director Xiong patted his thigh and said with a smile: "It's not a drop! However, a cavalry wing must have been exaggerated, presumably a cavalry unit, plus some infantry. Even if there is less than one wing, there must be a brigade! ”
Zhu Zi said thoughtfully: "In this way, this Chief Qiu is really the number one person. ”
Director Xiong said proudly: "Of course! Speaking of which, this Chief Qiu also escaped from Nanjing last year. When he saw the little devil brutally killing our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, his heart was extremely sad and indignant, and every time he encountered the enemy, his eyes were red, and he was like a mad tiger, and he was brave. The Japanese also respect it and call it Qiu Madman! ”
Zheng Weiguo was drinking tea on the side, and suddenly squirted out all the tea in his mouth with a pop.
Director Xiong and Zhu were startled, and hurriedly said, "Junzao, you have nothing to do, right?" ”
Zheng Weiguo smiled and waved his hand and said, "Cough, cough, it's nothing, it's nothing!" When I heard the heroic deeds of Gui and Qiu just now, I suddenly felt admiration in my heart, and I was excited for a while, but I accidentally choked. ”
At this moment, a person suddenly came in a hurry outside the hospital, and the guard at the door was talking, and when he heard the voice, he knew that it was Chief of Staff Zhou Yimin. As soon as Zheng Weiguo looked up, he saw that Chief of Staff Zhou had already walked in, with an anxious look on his face, so he hurriedly asked, "Old Zhou, what's wrong?" ”
Chief of Staff Zhou said angrily: "Military seat, something is wrong, Lan Feng City has fallen this morning!" ”
"What!" Zheng Weiguo, Director Xiong and Zhu Zi stood up together in shock.
Zheng Weiguo had already prepared in his heart and reacted first. He slapped the table and said angrily: "Didn't you have a good day yesterday, why did you fall in one night?" ”
Chief of Staff Zhou poured himself a cup of tea, leaned back, and said, "Cough, this matter is really indescribable, I don't know where to start!" ”
Director Xiong hurriedly asked, "What about Chief Gui?" ”
Chief of Staff Zhou said angrily: "Don't mention this bastard, he ran away yesterday afternoon!" ”
The pillar spread his hands and said, "What am I talking about?" Yes, with Nanjing, a virtue! ”
Chief of Staff Zhou snorted and said sarcastically: "It's still better than when he was in Nanjing, last time he left the troops and ran, and this time he took the troops away!" ”
Director Xiong said angrily: "What about Chief Qiu Qingquan? Chief Qiu didn't stop Gui Yongqing? ”
Chief of Staff Zhou snorted and scolded: "Stop a fart!" This guy runs faster than Gui Yongqing, and he runs in a tank! ”
Director Xiong's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he muttered, "It's all gone, what can I do?" What to do? ”
The pillar suddenly laughed, and everyone looked at him in confusion. Zhuzi smiled and said: "Oh, I still know how to escape, it can be seen that this Chief Qiu is sober-minded, isn't he really crazy!" ”
Zheng Weiguo said angrily: "It's all this time, and you are still talking about cool things!" Go and inform the commanders of the brigades, regiments, and departments that I am going to hold an urgent military meeting! ”
The pillar hurriedly said: "Yes, military seat!" He was about to walk with his legs, but he saw Director Xiong on the side suddenly fall on his back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
Everyone was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to hold him up. Zhu Zi shouted in panic on the side: "Old Xiong, Director Xiong, what's wrong with you?" Wake up! ”
Chief of Staff Zhou said: "It's like a rush to attack the heart, go and call the doctor!" ”
Zheng Weiguo said: "Don't worry, I will do this too, let me come!" "The special forces will have some first aid methods, and they will soon wake him up with three or two strokes.
As soon as Director Xiong's eyes opened, he struggled to get up.
The pillar said: "Old Xiong, don't move yet, I'll go to the hospital and call you a deputy stretcher!" ”
Director Xiong ignored him, grabbed Zheng Weiguo with both hands, and said anxiously: "Junzuo, you have to think of a way, you must not let the commission seat break the Yellow River, you must not!" ”
Zheng Weiguo was silent for a moment and did not speak. When it comes to this, it's not something you can do just by thinking about it.
Director Xiong was anxious, and asked repeatedly, "You must have a way, right?" ”
Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to stop this!" ”
Director Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Then I'll rest assured!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly fainted again.
Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "Pillar, hurry, take two people to send the little bear to the hospital!" ”
The pillar hurriedly put the bear on his back and ran towards the field hospital with the two guards. Zheng Weiguo looked at their backs and sighed, and said to Chief of Staff Zhou: "Time is urgent, let's go to the meeting first!" (To be continued......)
