Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 56 Lanfeng's Great Victory

Long Muhan was angry in his heart, serving the country and the nation? Isn't it just using our RR division as cannon fodder?

Long Muhan had the heart to refuse, but he was worried that Gui Yongqing would take advantage of the question, after all, now that the RR Division is temporarily subordinate to the army's battle sequence, Long Muhan really wants to openly refuse the order, and it is not unjust to disobey on the battlefield, Gui Yongqing really wants to make a big fuss about this, it is possible to really shoot him Long Mu Han, and he Long Muhan can only die in vain if he dies.

Who doesn't know that there are people in the central government of Gui Yongqing, He Yingqin and Chen Cheng are all Austrian aids.

Gui Yongqing didn't urge, just looked at Long Muhan coldly, waiting for him to make a decision.

The two were in a stalemate, Qiu Qingquan came in in a hurry, and he was still wearing the protective hat of a tank soldier on his head, obviously driving a tank over, seeing Gui Yongqing and Long Muhan facing each other and not speaking, Li Shusen and Li Liangrong and others also looked weird when they stood next to him, Qiu Qingquan said angrily: "It's been so long, and a meeting hasn't been finished yet?" ”

Gui Yongqing turned his head, looked at Qiu Qingquan with some astonishment, and asked, "Crazy Qiu, are you Yu?" ”

"Am I?" Qiu Qingquan said angrily, "Of course, I will gather my first column and cooperate with your army to go to Kaocheng to fight with the Tufeiyuan Division, and they all say that Little Japan's Iron King Eight is powerful, that's because they haven't met opponents, this time let Little Japan see what a real tank is, hum"

Qiu Qingquan's self-confidence is not without reason, his first column of the assault army can be said to be armed to the teeth, the first column under the jurisdiction of the tank battalion, infantry battalion, engineer battalion, combat defense artillery team, motorcycle search team, antiaircraft artillery team, and armored car team, of which the tank battalion has 30 T-improved tanks, which is the core force of the entire column.

The main gun caliber of the T improved tank is 45mm, the thickness of the front armor is mm, and its firepower and protection even exceed the German tank, whether it is the 95 type, the 97 type or the improved 98 type tank, the small Japan is far from being comparable with the T tank, which is also the main reason for the defeat of small Japan in the Normen battle.

Qiu Qingquan actually did not learn tank combat, he was in the German Advanced Engineer College, and then entered the Army University, all of which he studied infantry command, and the coordination of combat vehicles was only slightly involved, far from being professional, but compared with Qiu Qingquan, other Whampoa generals were not even considered laymen, so the commander-in-chief of the first column of the assault army fell to Qiu Qingquan.

Qiu Qingquan came to eastern Henan with the first column this time, and he also held his breath to wash away the shame of the previous battle of Songhu.

In the Battle of Songhu, the Nationalist Army also invested tank troops in the "Iron Fist Jihua" commanded by Falkenhausen, but the tanks and infantry in that battle were extremely poorly coordinated, and more than 20 tanks put into battle by Zuihou were easily blown up by Japanese soldiers with explosives packs because of the lack of infantry protection, and Qiu Qingquan's two friends were also killed in that battle.

Seeing Gui Yongqing standing there stunned, Qiu Qingquan said again: "What are you still stunned about?" Go wow. ”

Dare to love Qiu Qingquan wanted to bring Gui Yongqing, and also let Gui Yongqing see the majesty of the assault army, Gui Yongqing stood there so angry that he couldn't speak, but Long Muhan was relieved, and complimented at the moment: "Chief Gui and Brother Yu'an are both famous tiger generals, and they are high-talented students who returned from studying abroad in Germany. ”

Zhou Zhenqiang also stood up again to ask for battle, at this time Gui Yongqing wanted to pull the RR division as cannon fodder, so he had to order the other two brigades of the 46th Division to assemble, together with Qiu Qingquan's assault column to Lankao, but Gui Yongqing was reluctant to leave Qiu Qingquan's chariot, let alone leave Lanfeng City.

Qiu Qingquan led the 46th Division's 13U Brigade, 13 and the assault column all the way forward, because it was the first time to lead a tank unit to participate in the battle, Qiu Qingquan's excitement can be imagined, you must know so many Whampoa generals, but only he Qiu Qingquan has this glory, thinking of this, Qiu Qingquan couldn't hold back anymore, and actually took a search team composed of three T tanks, three side three-wheeled motorcycles and a platoon of infantry, and personally assumed the responsibility of the search captain.

As a result, Qiu Qingquan really bumped into the big luck, the search team advanced to the vicinity of the Red Temple, and the first side of the three rounds of search team turned back to report, the front found the small Japanese cavalry, Qiu Qingquan immediately ordered to prepare for battle, the search team had just launched, and the figure of the small Japanese cavalry appeared on the horizon ahead.

Zhou Zhenqiang and Ma Weilong were actually mistaken, the Japanese army that stormed Kaocheng actually had only one infantry wing, which was the 59th Infantry Wing of Nasu Gongxiong, because Kenji Dohihara equipped the Nasu Wing with an artillery brigade, which also had four 10m caliber field guns, so it was mistaken for the main force of the 14th Division.

While sending the Nasu Wing to storm Kaocheng and attract the attention of the national army, Kenji Dohihara formed the Sakai Detachment with the main force of the 14th Division, bypassing Kaocheng from the right side, intending to go straight to Lanfeng from the Red Temple, and the Lanfeng defenders were caught off guard.

It stands to reason that the cavalry is no match for tanks, but the arrogance of little Japan has really been integrated into the bone marrow, coupled with the poor equipment of the national army, little Japan has almost no experience in fighting with armored troops, so the squadron leader of little Japan arrogantly raised his saber and led forward, and more than 100 Japanese cavalry rushed up.

The commander of the cavalry squadron of Little Japan originally thought that as soon as the Japanese cavalry charged, the opposing national army would collapse. Although the opposite national army is equipped with armored vehicles, so what? A coward, even with the sharpest weapon, will never become a warrior.

The successive victories on the Chinese battlefield had already made the officers and soldiers of little Japan a little carried away.

Qiu Qingquan's search detachment naturally did not collapse as soon as the little Japanese cavalry charged, and Qiu Qingquan, who was personally driving one of the tanks, was even so excited that his eyes were red, and while screaming with excitement, he stepped on the tank accelerator to the end, and the tank weighing more than ten tons crashed into the roaring Japanese cavalry.

The other two T tanks followed up behind Qiu Qingquan's chariot, and the three tanks advanced in a zigzag shape, the main guns of the vehicles did not fire, but the three front-firing machine guns opened fire fiercely, pouring mm caliber bullets on the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese cavalry who charged forward with sabers suddenly turned on their backs.

How could a cavalry be an opponent of tanks? In just ten minutes, most of the more than 100 devil cavalry fell in a pool of blood, the war horses that had lost their owners galloped and wailed in the field, and many more war horses fell in a pool of blood and groaned, and the infantry platoon of the national army that followed behind the tank barely fired a shot, and the battle was over.

Qiu Qingquan lifted the top cover and climbed out of the turret, only to see the battlefield full of corpses of men and horses, and the officers and men of the infantry platoon were cleaning the battlefield, whether they were out of breath or still breathing, they didn't care that 3721 stabbed them in the heart first, and some officers and soldiers were collecting the scattered military horses.

The little Japanese military horse is not bad, much stronger than the national army war horse.

The captain of the search team ran over and reported to Qiu Qingquan: "Commander, more than a hundred little devils ran away, and the rest were all left here, and more than 100 sabers and more than 10 Oriental horses were also seized. As he spoke, the search captain handed over the captain's knife of the cavalry squadron leader of the little Japanese who he had just found.

Qiu Qingquan happily took the saber and said excitedly: "Immediately report the victory to Commander Gui, and say that the first column of the assault has won the first battle, and annihilated a cavalry squadron of Little Japan near the Red Temple."

The search captain hurriedly picked three veterans from the infantry platoon, rode on the newly captured Oriental horse, and hurried back to Lanfeng to report Gui Yongqing's victory.

Gui Yongqing was overjoyed after receiving Qiu Qingquan's good news, and immediately ordered his adjutant to report the victory directly to the headquarters of the commander of the First Theater and to the high headquarters, and dictated the telegram in public: "The officers and men of our 46th Division, with the cooperation of the first column of the assault army, fought bloody battles all night and annihilated a cavalry wing of the Japanese army near the Red Temple, and captured hundreds of war horses. ”

Li Shusen, Li Liangrong, and Long Muhan were expressionless, deliberately exaggerating the results of the battle were actually common in the national army, not to mention that Gui Yongqing did not exaggerate the results too much, because the cavalry wing of the small Japanese field division was only two squadrons, and Gui Yongqing only exaggerated the results of the battle.

The adjutant thought that Gui Yongqing had misheard, and reminded in a low voice: "The military seat is a cavalry squadron, not a wing." ”

"I said the cavalry wing, and that's the cavalry wing." Gui Yongqing turned his head and glared at the adjutant coldly, and said, "According to what I just said, immediately report to the First War Zone Commander's Department and the Command Department." ”

The adjutant didn't dare to say a word anymore, and hurriedly ran to send a telegram.

Wuhan camp, the first to receive a telegram was the Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin, learned that the army had won a battle in Lanfeng, He Yingqin was also too happy, at the moment did not care about Chairman Jiang to take a nap at noon, hurriedly ran to report the good news, and also exaggerated the army's results, the cavalry wing became an infantry wing, and the result became a great victory in Lanfeng.

When Chairman Chiang heard that Lan Feng had won a great victory and annihilated thousands of enemies, he was immediately overjoyed.

In particular, this Lanfeng victory was achieved with the cooperation of the first column of the assault army, and Chairman Chiang was even happier because he had placed unusually high hopes on Qiu Qingquan, his proud protΓ©gΓ©, and the first column of the assault army commanded by Qiu Qingquan, and now Qiu Qingquan and his assault column really lived up to his expectations.

"Okay, haode, haode." Chairman Jiang was so excited that he paced back and forth in the study, shouting with red light on his face, "Qiu Qingquan is worthy of studying in Germany, he can still fight, and Gui Yongqing, I blamed him before, Gui Yongqing is still capable, and the 27th Army can still fight tough battles." ”
