Chapter 829: Return
By the time the Japanese bombardment was over, the ground forces had already invaded 300 meters in front of the formation. Countless Japanese soldiers were constantly firing at the position.
And the light and heavy machine guns in the back are "sudden and ......" to provide them with fire suppression.
"Quick! Get on the ground!! There was a heart-rending roar from the positions of the 500th and 499th regiments, and countless soldiers tried to break out of their anti-artillery holes and enter the position defense.
Unfortunately, most of the positions had been destroyed by artillery fire and bombardment, and they were not the kind of troops of the Wehrmacht that had been rigorously trained to slay tigers and had a strong ability to build fortifications. ""The fastest update, full text hand-typed
In this regard, Jin Suijun did not have much experience to follow. The fortifications they made would be fine if they were to resist one or two tentative attacks by the Japanese army. But in the face of an army of several divisions, and a full-scale artillery bombardment of their fortifications, it showed its own inadequacy.
After all, they did not systematically study the fortifications that had been tested in countless battles on the Korean battlefield, nor had they experienced a crazy war against Japan like the Wehrmacht.
The level of saturation and complete shelling was beyond their imagination, and although the Wehrmacht pamphlet had already described the Japanese firepower, they knew what kind of war they were going to fight when they faced it in reality. Baidu search "" to see the latest chapters
About 15 percent of the anti-artillery holes collapsed, and the traffic trenches were basically destroyed. The bunkers exposed on the position were basically destroyed, and the Japanese light and heavy machine gun fire continued to press the position.
Any outcropping soldiers and guns would be hit by a storm of Japanese troops, and many of the soldiers who had just broken out of the anti-artillery holes had not yet arrived at their intended positions. He was sacrificed under the accurate fire of the Japanese army.
Those soldiers who struggled to get up and fire their machine guns were only a few minutes away from a rain of bullets from the Japanese. Even the Japanese were skilled in using grenadiers to shoot grenades at their positions.
The sound of gunfire and explosions on the position rang out, and countless soldiers of the Jin Sui Army rushed to the position with shouts and no one took a step back. But this kind of war. More than courage is enough.
Every strafing fire from the Japanese machine guns would take the lives of the officers and men of the Jin Sui Army. And their accurate shooting wiped out all the outcrops on the position.
"If you fight like this, these Jin Sui troops will have to be defeated in three days at most." The captain slowly put down his binoculars in the grass a kilometer outside the position and sighed: "This is not how this battle was fought, isn't this the death of the brothers under his command......
"Captain, what should I do?! Let's go up and help them?! A man on the side said a little angrily: "These are bloody men, it's not worth dying here like this......"
The captain was silent for a moment. Only then did he say to the person beside him: "First send a telegram to the Imperial Capital Headquarters and tell me about the situation here." Ask the headquarters to contact the Jin Sui army and let us assist them in their defense......"
The man nodded. Slowly creeping down from this observation point.
Compared with the fierce battle outside Xuchang City, Pingdingshan and Kaifeng are much quieter. It was only after about half an hour of artillery bombardment and a tentative attack by a squadron that the Japanese stopped the attack without taking advantage.
This made the defenders of the two places a little confused, how could the attack here be drizzled by Xuchang City? ! Despite the doubts. The two sides still ordered the troops below to defend to the death and not to be negligent.
"The situation in Xuchang City has reached such a dangerous point?!" Su Zongzhen took the telegram and frowned and said in a deep voice: "What is the situation?!" It's not like it's good. Can't you just meddle?! ”
"Chief of Staff, if it weren't for the fact that the situation is really critical, I don't think they would have sent us this telegram." In the secret conference room of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, Zhang Yan, the commander of the Crow Special Attack Force, said in a deep voice to Su Zongzhe: "The current situation is definitely not optimistic, otherwise Shanhe would not have called this." ”
This time, the troops were sent by the crows. The commander-in-chief in charge is Lin Shanhe, the crow instructor.
"I know how to do things, and I am very steady. But directly intervening in the war of the Jin Sui army is still not possible for the time being. Su Zongzhe put down the telegram and said to Zhang Yan: "Now our negotiations with Jin Suijun have not completely ended, and I don't know if they will fall to the Japanese side." ”
"If we let Shanhe support the Jin Sui army. And if they abandon the negotiations, our secret weapon will be exposed. Su Zongzhen said to Zhang Yan in a deep voice: "I must be responsible for the entire national defense army, and I must be responsible for the hard work of those R&D personnel!" Once these weapons are lost. And the damage caused by the imitation of the Japanese army will be immeasurable! ”
When Zhang Yan heard this, he could only be silent. He knew that Su Zongzhen was telling the truth. From the Punisher 35mm grenade launcher to the Tiger Roar 107mm rocket launcher.
These are the masterpieces of the researchers in the China Engineering Research Institute, and even these weapons that could have been sold for a lot of money are not willing to be sold by the Wehrmacht.
If these were captured and copied by the Japanese, then the efforts of those researchers would have been used to massacre the Wehrmacht's own soldiers.
This is unacceptable to the entire Wehrmacht! In the face of this situation, Zhang Yan could only sigh deeply and be helpless.
"Mr. Cilong, we Mingren don't say dark words. We are unlikely to accept your proposal. As the prime minister of the coalition government, Wu Hao is appearing at the negotiating table for the first time.
If you talk about qualifications and work experience in the three eastern provinces at the beginning, Wu Hao will definitely not be able to be in the position of prime minister. But with the strong recommendation of Mrs. Song and the consent of Tu Menghu, he took up this position.
Many people don't know that in fact, the friendship between Mrs. Song and Wu Hao began very early. Wu Hao had already met Mrs. Song during his time in Whampoa, and Mrs. Song later recalled: "In the mid-20s, I met Wu Hao for the first time in Guangzhou. He was very young at the time, but he was already a leader with a firm revolutionary stance, a clear stand, a wide range of talents, and a well-trained leader. ”
From November 1927 to December 1931, Wu Hao served as one of the main leaders of the Red Army. Hard work in Shanghai. Under the White Terror at that time, Wu Hao and other red leaders received great help from Mrs. Song and others.
It was also at that time that Mrs. Song saw Wu Hao's talent and ability. Yes. When the coalition government was discussing the choice of prime minister, Mrs. Song did not hesitate to propose that Wu Hao take the position.
Because she believes that Wu Hao is the best person to be able to coordinate these relationships. And Yan Zhengqing, although she heard a lot about his deeds but didn't know about it, it was this lady who insisted on her proposal: let Wu Hao be the prime minister.
Tu Menghu was stunned that this lady supported Wu Hao so much, but he didn't have too many objections himself. Yan Zhengqing has no desire to fight for power and profit, and there are not many people who oppose this proposal.
But some of the old people in the three eastern provinces below still have a disagreement. In order to calm these discussions, Yan Zhengqing handed over this negotiation to Wu Hao after discussing with Wu Hao and Yang Ziren.
As long as the results are out, all the rumors will disappear. This is the rule of the three eastern provinces for a long time, and results are the last word! In fact. Yan Zhengqing himself also wanted to see where Wu Hao's ability had come.
"Mr. Baichuan continues to serve as the governor of Shanxi, and we can accept it. But the Jin Sui army must carry out comprehensive reforms. Wu Hao took out a document, handed it to Zhao Daiwen and said softly: "This is the latest battle report of the Jin Sui Army, you can take a look." ”
Zhao Daiwen was stunned for a moment. I took the document and looked at it. This document provides a comprehensive review of the war in Xuchang. The first is that the Jin Sui army was unfamiliar with the fortifications.
This hard wound caused a large area of Japanese casualties to the Jin Sui army, followed by the fact that the Jin Sui army did not have much training in white-knuckle warfare and the quality of the soldiers was far from the Japanese army, which led to the suppression of the Japanese army in positional warfare.
The most serious reason is the rigidity of tactical command, whether it is the position or the rear command, there are still strong traces of the operational command of the First World War period.
The complete unfamiliarity with new combat modes such as air superiority, tanks, and heavy artillery led to the Jin Sui army being disadvantaged in this operation.
And this document also cites certain examples of the Wehrmacht, which are explained to the Wehrmacht
Gains and losses in this regard.
"Mr. Cilong, the current situation is that the Jin Suijun has to carry out reforms. We are not trying to capture the Jin Sui army, but to better carry out the war of resistance. Wu Hao patiently said to Zhao Daiwen: "Army." Not an army of a family. It is an army that belongs to the country and the nation! ”
"This is how our We-Tlf have always educated the soldiers below, and their sacrifices are for the country and the nation. Not for someone. ”
That's why I can't hand it over to you! Zhao Daiwen thought with a sigh. Will be wise and foolish! This is Yan Xishan's way of governing the army, and in fact it is also the way of all warlords.
If the soldiers are smart, where can you control them?! It is the soldiers who are illiterate and unable to understand military regulations and regulations that they can control the troops. If they understand everything, how can the troops be controlled?!
"Mr. Cilong, what I want to tell you is that now Mr. Delin's troops on the Guangxi side have been reorganized. A direct offensive against South China will be launched by the end of next month at the latest, so our negotiations cannot be delayed any longer. ”
Wu Hao still spoke softly, but these words sounded like thunder to Zhao Daiwen!
"Moreover, the current war in Henan cannot allow us to delay any longer." Wu Hao's voice was still soft, and he whispered to Zhao Daiwen: "If you continue to fight like this, the losses of the Jin Sui army will be even greater......
Zhao Daiwen didn't speak, pinching the document for a long time without squeaking. Yan Xishan's order to him was to try his best to fight for the interests of Shanxi, and secretly sent someone to give him the message that it was best to keep some of the military power.
I have to say that Yan Laoxi is still a warlord at fault. He always thinks that he can lead the military and political power, and even thinks about whether he can make a profit in the regime.
But it is clear that the coalition government and the IDF are not idiots. As people have said before, they can only choose one of the two powers, the military and the government. And it must be reformed by the Wehrmacht.
The reason why the negotiations between the two sides have been delayed again and again is that Shanxi still wants to retain some of its military power. But apparently, now the Wehrmacht and the coalition government are already getting impatient.
Wu Hao's words can be regarded as an ultimatum: either make a decision quickly, or don't talk about it.
"I'll send a telegram to Baichuan Gong...... Zhao Daiwen smiled bitterly and said softly: "This kind of thing, I can't make a complete decision myself." ”
"Yes. But hurry. Wu Hao sighed at Zhao Daiwen and said: "The current form is not optimistic, if you continue to fight like this, the losses of the Jin Sui army ......"
The conversation between the two sides did not mention a single question from beginning to end: where did these documents come from.
Zhao Daiwen is very clear. It must be that there is a group of elites of the Wehrmacht lurking in Henan. These men were brave and bold, and they observed the battle between the Jin Sui army and the Japanese army near the battlefield.
At the same time, it was evaluated and summarized according to the situation of the battle between the two sides, and finally concentrated in Wu Hao's hands.
Wu Hao also did not mention where these documents came from, and he believed that Zhao Daiwen must have seen it. But with Zhao Daiwen's style of acting, he knew he couldn't ask these questions.
In the final analysis, the current Jin Sui Army or Jin Sui Army is not a national defense force. Even if it has become the Wehrmacht, there are many things that can only be mastered by the top echelons of the Wehrmacht and the coalition government.
For example, Wu Hao. For example, Lin Sen and Mrs. Song and the like.
After Zhao Daiwen returned to his residence, he sent the telegram to Yan Xishan. But unexpectedly, Yan Xishan quickly called back: he fully accepted all the proposals of the coalition government.
Zhao Daiwen smiled bitterly. It seems that Yan Laoxi is habitual and wants to get some benefits for himself. But he himself was not sure whether he could hold it, so he thought about delaying it to see if he could earn it.
If he can't make any benefits, Yan Laoxi will also stop fighting.
On September 10, 1938, the coalition government and the Jin Suijun announced at the same time that the two sides would merge. Jin Suijun accepted the reorganization of the coalition government. After this campaign, it will be reorganized into the 10th Army Corps of the Wehrmacht.
Wang Kai, who had participated in the Xinhai Revolution and the Protectorate War, was promoted to brigade commander in his early years, and was later added to the rank of general after the joint anti-Japanese war, and was sent to the Tenth Army Corps by the coalition government as commander-in-chief.
Meantime. A large number of officers in the former Jin Sui Army will go to the National Defense University for further study and training after this war. They are then sent to various units for internships as needed.
The decision announced by the two sides on the 10th was admired by all parts of the country. And the Guangzhou side and the Japanese army sighed helplessly. The Jin Sui Army, as the last force to be fought for by both sides, is now completely in favor of the coalition government.
The current troops of the Canton side were only maintained in the occupied areas of Guangdong, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and the Japanese did not believe in the combat effectiveness of these units. I am afraid that they will defect on the battlefield, so I will not send them to the battlefield at all.
However, these troops were stationed in various places in exchange for the Japanese army to be transferred to the front line on a large scale. Some of the appointments to the regional governors were handed over to Wang Zhaoming.
"Commander-in-Chief, I don't want any good of this old bone. I just thought that while I was still open, I could watch our navy wash away the shame. "Generalissimo of the Chinese National Defense Forces, Lord Sa Zhenbing, in Tu Menghu's office. Said to the current Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht.
"Commander...... I know our navy is still very weak, but how can we always not fight?! I know that in that case the coalition government doesn't have much money right now. But the Navy's warships should be updated, right?! ”
"The Army has developed so many weapons, I don't blush. But you can't lose the navy like this! A hundred years of navy, we can't always leave too much behind......"
Tu Menghu smiled bitterly, the navy has fought once since the start of the war. Until now, it has been repaired, which has led to great dissatisfaction with Shen Honglie, the commander of the navy.
The army and air force are all flying in the sky, and the navy is still in the harbor. How can this old navy stand it?! came to the headquarters several times to make trouble, and when he saw that he couldn't get anything good, this guy moved Sa Zhenbing, the navy's Dinghai God Needle, out.
This Uncle Shen...... It's just love to mess around! Tu Menghu cursed in his heart, but he still had to explain to the old marshal. Now the only one in the entire coalition government and the Wehrmacht who can carry the medal of marshal is this old man.
"Marshal, it's not that I don't want the Navy to go to war. It's not that I don't care about the navy, it's just that our navy can't compete with the Japanese army in terms of armament now......" Tu Menghu said bitterly to Sa Zhenbing: "I have already sent someone to the United States to negotiate the purchase of warships, isn't it still not negotiated?!" ”
"This time, Mrs. Song went to the United States, in fact, she also had the task of purchasing warships. You'll have to give me time! Besides, now the officers of the Navy who have served in the United States have not returned, they are the essence of the Navy! When they come back, are you afraid that there will be no fight?! ”
Tu Menghu can be said to be afraid of no one, but he is afraid of these old people. They are all heroes who have shed blood and sacrificed for this country and this nation, and they have always spared no effort to slaughter the tigers as long as they can do what these old people want.
"I know you're always in a hurry, and I'm in a hurry! But I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I still need this time......" After a pause, Tu Menghu planned to tell the truth to the old marshal.
"Believe me, the world will soon change dramatically. When the time comes, it will be the best moment for the large-scale development of our navy. As long as that time comes, we will not lack drawings, technicians or warships! ”
Tu Menghu struggled for a long time, but still tried to minimize the information revealed. Who is Khazarian Zhenbing?! This old man is an old man who has gone through decades of politics and military circles. Hearing this slaughter tiger's words, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile.
"It turns out that the commander-in-chief is planning to do this......" saw Sa Zhenbing smile, laughing like a child. Walked up to the map and clicked on a certain area, looking at Tu Menghu's surprised eyes and smiling like a child.
"I'll just say it...... You kid has always wanted to develop the navy, why hasn't there been any movement during this time. It turned out to be the idea! Hahaha...... Good! The old man is waiting for you with good news! ”
Saying that, Sa Zhenbing sighed and said, "Don't let the old man wait too long...... I'm over today now, and I don't know tomorrow...... Anyway, so I can look at our navy when I open my eyes! (To be continued.) )
ps: Rub Rub Rub ...... The family is busy with business...... I'm sorry! I'm sorry......
