Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 32 Spur
Yang Shaoren said disapprovingly: "Master, please forgive me, are you overestimating the small Japanese division?" The predecessor of the small Japanese division was just a garrison brigade, and most of the soldiers were composed of reservists or soldiers in the township, and the strength was only three infantry wings. ”
"Chief of Staff, don't underestimate the old devil Masatharu Honma, although this old devil has no outstanding performance in North China, and his performance is mediocre after arriving at the battlefields of Jiujiang and De'an, but in any case, this old devil has studied in the UK and has in-depth contact with Western military, and his level must still be there."
"But I always feel that it is redundant to put the 344th regiment on the tip of the hourglass."
"Whether it's redundant or not will soon be known." Feng Shengfa took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and said, "Judging from the time, if the small Japanese division really plans to send reinforcements, it should almost take action." ”
Before the words fell, the adjutant Zhang Shaojie ran over out of breath and reported to Feng Shengfa: "Division, the Corps Headquarters has just transferred a telegram from the 18th Army, saying that the small Japanese Division in front of Ruiwu Road has made abnormal moves, and at least one wing of troops is gathering in the direction of Jiankou, and the Corps Headquarters judges that it is likely to be coming towards Wanjialing. ”
"Look?" Feng Shengfa said, "What did I just say? ”
Yang Shaoren was dumbfounded, but he admired Feng Shengfa more and more in his heart.

After Xue Yue learned the news, he put the leftover half bowl of rice on the table, and hurried to the war room and asked, "What's the situation on Ruiwu Road?" ”
Wu Yizhi said: "Huang Wei (commander of the 18th Army) just reported that the 27th Division transferred about a wing of troops from the front of Ruiwu Road and went to the direction of Wanjialing through Jiankou. ”
Xue Yuehuo said: "The 18th Army and the 1st Army Weishenme don't block it?" ”
Shang Zhen, commander-in-chief of the First Army and commander of the First Army, explained: "General, the artillery fire of the little Japanese is too fierce, and the air force of the little Japanese is bombing indiscriminately like crazy, and the troops cannot be assembled at all. ”
Xue Yue was silent, artillery and air force have always been the Achilles' heel of the national army, starting from the Battle of Songhu, the national army does not know how much loss it has suffered from the small Japanese artillery and aviation, and the battle of Wuhan has not changed, although the Soviet air force has strengthened the combat effectiveness of the Chinese air force in a short period of time, but the Soviets are not philanthropists, and it is impossible to provide China with aircraft, ground crew, and pilots without restrictions. The planes of the national army were basically invisible in the sky over Jiujiang
After being silent for a moment, Xue Yue asked Wu Yizhi again, "How is Feng Shengfa's side?" ”
Wu Yizhi replied: "The situation discovered by the 18th Army has been transferred to the 58th Division, and Feng Shengfa has not complained to the Corps Headquarters for help until now, so he should still be able to hold on." ”
Xue Yue fell silent again, Feng Shengfa did not complain to the Corps Headquarters does not mean that the 58th Division is very easy now, with the strength of one division facing the onslaught of a small Japanese division, how easy can it be? The reason why Feng Shengfa didn't complain or ask for help was because he knew that it was useless to complain and ask for help.
After a long while, Xue Yue asked again: "What about the rest of the troops, have they all entered the attack position?" ”
Wu Yizhi hurriedly said: "The 4th Army has been biting the rear guard of the 10th Pei Regiment, and the 8th Army and the 1st Army have also rushed to the designated position, only the UU Army and the 5th Pei have not entered the designated attack position until now because they took a fork in the road last night, especially the 5th Pei, which is at least more than 50 miles away from Wanjialing." ”
"This Wang Yaowu" Xue Yue said angrily, "What did he eat?" The same troops of the 74th Army, weishenme is so different? 5 Pei drove from Xingzi, and rushed to Wanjialing last night, 5 Pei set off from De'an, and Weishenme has not entered the designated position until now? Such a person is also worthy of being promoted to military commander? ”
Wu Yizhi didn't dare to answer, and no one in the entire headquarters dared to take this stubble.
Xue Yueyu was still angry, and said: "Send a report to 5 Pei immediately and tell Wang Yaowu that if you don't dare to go to the battlefield, just say it clearly, don't fucking wander around in the mountains, it's really so difficult to find a way?" After a pause, Xue Yue specially instructed the communications staff officer, "Just according to what I just dictated, not a word is allowed to be changed, and the original text will be forwarded."
(Dividing Line)
"What the fuck is this map called?" Wang Yaowu was furious and tore the map into countless pieces in a few clicks.
This map left in the Beiyang period is too fucked, obviously it is Guishan, he marked you Xianglu Mountain, Xiushui obviously turned a big bend from Xiushui County before entering Poyang Lake, but this map dared to be stunned to connect to Poyang Lake, 5 Pei marched according to the map, just entered the mountainous area and got lost, and even the direction was wrong.
Wandering around in the mountains for a night, waiting for the next day to see at dawn, actually went around a big circle to the Mahui Ridge, no way, the fire was burning and went back, but the mountain was foggy again, and the compass didn't know what the reason was stunned, and the guide could not be found in a hurry, so he could only continue to make do with the map.
As a result, once again a fork in the road in the mountains.
When he found out that something was wrong, he had already branched out for fifty miles, and Wang Yaowu couldn't bear it anymore and finally tore up the map.
When Wang Yaowu was losing his temper, Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 305th regiment, caught up with a limp, Zhang Lingfu was seriously injured in the knee in the defense of Nanjing, and left the sequelae of lame after recovering from the injury, Zhang Lingfu still held a telegram in his hand, but it was a telegram just sent by the Corps Headquarters to 5 Pei, and it was also a telegram dictated by Xue Yue himself.
After reading the telegram, Wang Yaowu's face immediately turned the color of pig liver.
Xue Yue sent such a telegram, which shows that his dissatisfaction with 5 Pei has reached the extreme, which makes Wang Yaowu, who has always regarded himself very highly, feel ashamed.
"It's so unfair for the general seat to say that." Zhang Lingfu also read the telegram and said angrily, "What do you mean by not daring to go to the battlefield and deliberately wandering around in the mountains?" Is it for us to wander around? If it weren't for this broken map given by the Corps Headquarters, we would have been able to wander around the mountains? We 5 pei dare not go to the battlefield? It's a joke, the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, and the Battle of Lanfeng, didn't we participate in so many vicious battles and tough battles? ”
"Alright, you can just say a few words." Wang Yaowu stopped Zhang Lingfu.
Although there are objective reasons for the 5th Pei to get lost in the mountains, it is an indisputable fact that he failed to arrive at the designated position in time and launch an attack on the 10th Pei Regiment of the Japanese Army.
When Madang Fortress was lost, didn't Xue Weiying also say that the map was wrong and she got lost in the mountains?
But what about Zuihou? Zuihou Xue Weiying, didn't he still get Chairman Jiang to be shot because of Bai Chongxi's words?
Zhang Lingfu also knew that it was useless to complain at this time, the top priority was to determine the direction as soon as possible, arrive at the designated position in the shortest possible time, and launch an attack on the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan, didn't you Xue Yue say that our 5th Pei did not dare to fight? Then we will use the record to prove to you that the 5th Pei is by no means a bad breed.
At that moment, Zhang Lingfu said: "Master, I will personally lead someone to find the guide." ”
"No need to look for it." Wang Yaowu looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "Little Japan's plane is the most haode guide. ”
Zhang Lingfu raised his head when he heard the sound, only to find that the fog in the mountains had dispersed, the clouds in the sky had also faded, and two Japanese bombers painted with plaster patterns flew over from the eastern sky with a huge roar, and roared towards the west over their heads.
Wang Yaowu retracted his gaze, turned his head and shouted: "Adjutant Wang, Adjutant Wang"
A captain officer ran to Wang Yaowu and stood upright: "Yes"
Wang Yaowu said: "Pass my order, all regiments, battalions, and directly subordinate teams, follow the direction of the small Japanese plane, all run forward, and then tell the commanders of all regiments, battalions, and directly subordinate teams that they must rush to the designated position before evening, if anyone the hell drags his feet, I, Wang Yaowu, can't spare him, go quickly."
"Yes," Adjutant Wang ordered.
