When Xu Shijiu walked into the headquarters of the 58th Division, Feng Shengfa was sulking.

At this time, it has been two days since the end of the battle of Fengxian, the main force of the 58th Division has also successfully withdrawn from Fengxian to Dangshan, and the division headquarters has also moved forward from Liukou Township to Zhaotun near Dangshan Station, although the 174th Brigade participating in the battle suffered heavy casualties, but the base number of veterans is still there, and many lightly wounded can return to the team quickly after a little recuperation, not to mention that the 58th Division has captured a lot in Shanxian County, as long as the corps headquarters can replenish new recruits in time and retrain a little丨The troops will soon be able to restore their combat effectiveness.

However, the Dangshan battlefield was tight, and the situation no longer allowed the 58th Division to retreat to the rear to rest.

However, Feng Shengfa was not angry because of this, what made him angry was a phone call just made by Yu Jishi, in which Yu Jishi informed him of a message, saying that Gui Yongqing had sued him from Chairman Jiang, saying that he was arrogant and arrogant, greedy for merit, and the entire Dangshan battle situation was tight, and the headquarters had decided to send someone to investigate the matter.

Feng Shengfa became angry when he heard it, and before he could settle the accounts with Gui Yong, Gui Yongqing sued the wicked first.

What made Feng Shengfa even more indignant in his heart was that Chairman Jiang really wanted to send someone down to investigate, this kind of thing that reverses black and white and confuses right and wrong, and actually sends someone to investigate, what is there to investigate? Are you really some arrogant person? Are all the high-ranking generals on the front line stupid? If it weren't for the fact that Fengxian was really empty, would these army commanders, group army commanders, and corps commanders-in-chief believe his words as a division commander? It's a ridiculous thing

Seeing that Feng Shengfa didn't speak, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but smile and said: "Master, you don't know who Gui Yongqing is, like Sun Yuanliang, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are all goods who are afraid of death and escape from battle

"That's not for sure." Feng Shengfa sighed and said, "In the Battle of Nanjing, Gui Yongqing, like Sun Yuanliang, left his troops and crossed the river alone, but Weishenmezuihou Sun Yuanliang was removed from his post and investigated, but Gui Yongqing was promoted from division commander to army commander instead?" To put it bluntly, there is someone in the center of the family, and He Yingqin is in-law with him. ”

Xu Shijiu said: "He Yingqin's high position can't affect Chen Cheng, right?" It seems that Chen Cheng is in charge of the investigation this time? ”

Gui Yongqing said: "You don't know this, although He Yingqin can't affect Chen Cheng, but the relationship between Chen Cheng and Gui Yongqing is not ordinary, in the nineteenth year of the Republic of China, Gui Yongqing was almost shot by the commission because of the deputy brigade commander incident, at that time Gui Yongqing was the commander of the 31st Brigade of the 11th Division, and he could be regarded as the number one confidant under Chen Cheng. ”

"I really don't see it, this Gui Yongqing's connections in the center are really not shallow?" Xu Shijiu really didn't know this.

Feng Shengfa said disdainfully: "If it weren't for the fact that there were people in the central government, with Gui Yongqing's qualifications and ability, he was also worthy of serving as the head of the Central Military Academy back then, so why did he become the commander of the 27th Army?" Just because he can speak big words, just because he runs faster than others in Nanjing and is better at saving his life? ”

At this time, Xu Shijiu was also a little worried, and said, "Master, there shouldn't really be anything, right?" ”

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, so I can let him go." Feng Shengfa said, "Anyway, I have a clear conscience. ”

To be honest, Feng Shengfa is still quite worried about the upcoming investigation, since the day the national army was founded, the internal factional struggle has not been broken, the relatively large faction He Yingqin, Chen Cheng civil engineering and Hu Zongnan's first military department, Tang Enbo served as the commander-in-chief of the 31st Group Army, it seems that he also has a self-contained atmosphere, Gui Yongqing was born in the civil engineering department, but he has a good relationship with He Yingqin, it can be said that he is left and right, and his connections are extremely deep, and he Feng Shengfa, in addition to having a good relationship with Yu Jishi, There are almost no military bosses who appreciate him, and he can be described as a lonely person, Chen Cheng has to reverse black and white to put the responsibility for the defeat of Fengxian on him out of consideration for maintaining Gui Yongqing, and he is also speechless.

What's more, because of the defeat of Fengxian, it is also an indisputable fact that Dangshan lost its flank protection, and if Chen Cheng had to catch this point and treat him Feng Shengfa's crime, he would be helpless.

After the 74th Army withdrew to Dangshan and hugged the 8th Army, the 27th Army, and the Army, the main force of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, which had just returned to Fengxian, immediately turned around and headed south, and once again formed a north-south flanking situation with the 13th Division of the Japanese Army.

In the face of the onslaught of the Japanese 16th Division, a brigade of the division only lasted less than half a day before being disabled, Gui Yongqing saw that the situation was not right, and immediately withdrew his military headquarters from Dangshan to Lanfeng in one go, and at the same time ordered the 46th Division to retreat, this move greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the officers and men of the 46th Division for the War of Resistance, and also made the officers and men of the division completely chilled.

The next day, the division quickly let the Japanese 16th Division to be defeated, this time it was really let the little Japan to be defeated, everyone buttocks backwards, towards the direction of Lanfeng ran for their lives, the division collapsed, the 46th Division retreated, the north barrier of Dangshan was lost, and the flank of Huang Jie's 8th Army and Li Xianzhou's Army guarding the south of Dangshan was completely exposed.

Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the First Corps, was extremely angry after hearing the news, and Gui Yongqing's escape from the battle directly caused the situation in Dangshan to fall into a state of collapse, once the 8th Army and the army collapsed or collapsed under the siege of the two main divisions of the Japanese army, once Dangshan was lost, Shangqiu, an important town in eastern Henan, would immediately lose its eastern barrier.

Although Xue Yue was angry, he was helpless to take Gui Yongqing, although the first army was nominally subordinate to the First Corps, but Gui Yongqing did not buy Xue Yue's account at all, otherwise Gui Yongqing would not dare to disobey the battle two days ago, resulting in a lack of success in the battle of Fengxian, and Xue Yue could not really arrest Gui Yongqing and shoot him, so he could only find troops everywhere to plug the leak.

Just as Li Hansoul's army drove to the front line in eastern Henan, Xue Yue ordered the army to rush to Dangshan overnight.

However, as soon as the army got off the train from Shangqiu Station, all the officers and men were exhausted after a long train ride, and Shangqiu was more than 100 miles away from Dangshan, even if it was a rapid march, it would take at least a day and a night to arrive, and the battle situation in Dangshan could not be delayed for a moment.

So Xue Yue set his sights on the 74th Army, which was resting near Cao County, and ordered the 74th Army to immediately go east to Liutun in the northwest of Dangshan to protect the 8th Army and the army's flank.

Yu Jishi actually didn't take Xue Yue much in his eyes, but this time he was fighting with Gui Yongqing, and seeing that Gui Yongqing had already stripped naked, he wanted to behave well in Dangshan, he wanted to let the old man understand that he Yu Jishi was the real party-state Yucheng, not Gui Yongqing's coward.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Yue sent another telegram to Huang Jie, strictly ordering the 8th Army and the army to defend Dangshan.

Huang Jie is actually a ruthless character who can fight tough battles, participated in the first and second Eastern Crusades of the Whampoa Student Army, and is known for daring to fight, like most Whampoa generals, relying on military exploits to rise from platoon commander, company commander, and battalion commander, and after becoming the regiment commander, he led his troops to participate in the Battle of Songkou, and was seriously injured because he was the first soldier.

After the confluence of Ninghan and Han, the national army continued the northern expedition, and the Shandong warlord Zhang Zongchang followed the example of the famous general Pang De of the Three Kingdoms and sang the coffin to go out, but was beaten by Huang Jie, and later Huang Jie also participated in the Great Wall War of Resistance, and fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Nantianmen for eight days and eight nights, killing and wounding more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers at the cost of more than 3,000 casualties.

Objectively speaking, among the generals of the Whampoa department, Huang Jie, if not the best, is at least first-class.

However, with the promotion of Huang Jie's position in the army, he finally and inevitably participated in the factional overthrow, and in the factional overthrow, if you want to keep your status, position and influence, you must firmly control the army in your hands, so when the 8th Army and the army faced the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy, Huang Jie also retreated.

Even if Xue Yue sent a sternly worded military order, it also failed to dispel Huang Jie's thoughts.

However, Huang Jie didn't go too far, at least he didn't run to Lanfeng in one go like Gui Yongqing, he just ordered the troops to retreat twenty miles back and rebuild the defense line near Zhaotun, so although Dangshan Station was abandoned, the entire Dangshan defense line was still intact, but in this way, the position of the 74th Army changed from the back to the front, and the pressure of the entire defense line was transferred from Huang Jie's 8th Army and Li Xianzhou's Army to the 74th Army.

In order to command the troops more effectively, Feng Shengfa moved his division headquarters from Caozhuang to Mazhuang, which was only less than three kilometers away from the front line of Liutun, and the field howitzers of small Japanese 75mm caliber could easily hit here, which was absolutely unimaginable for other division commanders, and Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 5 Pei Commander, could not do this

Knowing that Huang Jie's 8th Army and Li Xianzhou's Army retreated 20 miles overnight, the position of the 74th Army suddenly changed from the back to the front, and the headquarters of the 58th Division is now noisy.

"Master, Huang Jie has gone too far, he is going to use our 74th Army as cannon fodder."

"Division, it is recommended to send a direct report to Commander-in-Chief Xue immediately, let Commander-in-Chief Xue deal with it, and the 8th Army must immediately return to the original defense line."

"What's the use of reporting to Commander-in-Chief Xue, Commander-in-Chief Xue can't control it at all."

"If Commander-in-Chief Xue can't manage it, then we will directly report to the Theater Commander's Department, and if Commander-in-Chief Cheng can't manage it, we will directly report to the Military Commission and the Command

He Lingxiao, deputy division commander, Fang Riying, commander of the 17th Brigade, Zhu Qi, commander of the 174th Brigade, and four regiment commanders were indignant, one was excited, and it would not work if they were not excited.

What's even worse is that the Japanese army gathered in Dangshan is not one or two detachments, but two main divisions, and an independent heavy artillery brigade equipped with 15Umm caliber heavy artillery, in the face of five or sixty thousand Japanese troops in two divisions, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the 74th Army are covered with iron and how many nails can they hit? This battle can't be fought at all.

Feng Shengfa frowned and roared, "What is the noise, what is there to be noisy?" ”

When the voice stopped in the war room, Feng Shengfa said again: "The 8th Army and the army retreated, that was their business, but the order we received from the 58th Division was to hold Litun, what did the original words of the military seat say?" I guess you haven't forgotten it, right? I made a package ticket to the military seat, and as long as there is still one person in the 58th Division, I will never take half a step back."
