Fifty-seven embarrassed
When the main attacking force of the Allied army forced into the main fortifications, it was the most fierce time of the battle, in order to avoid the flying stones, the timid brigade commander Zhang Yaoming and others hid in the big pillbox and continued to command the battle there. Accompanied by the anomaly of dense fog and sparse guns, it caused the surprise of these death-fearing ghosts. At this time, a battalion-sized officer came running and reported: "The Allied army has been beaten down by us, and it seems that there is a rout. ”
The scum was stunned and hurriedly ascended to the commanding heights. The brigade commander put the telescope on his left hand, habitually scratched the big head with his right hand, and said confidently: "Rushing to fight and taking the risk of attacking, just their three and a half legs, and they still want to gnaw on the head of my big fish in Xiaotangshan, it is simply lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot." ”
The brigade deputy said anxiously: "Don't let them slip away, they should be pursued immediately!"
The chief of staff of the brigade was intently observing the retreating lineup of the Allied forces, and when he heard this, he was taken aback and hurriedly stopped: "No! Don't chase after the poor and prevent ambushes! Striking the east and the west, it is Xuanxia's father's forte, don't be careless! ”
"What kind of bullshit is hitting everywhere, it is clear that it can't be attacked, and there is no way to withdraw from the battle. Didn't you see the fierceness when you first came to fight! If you want to give it a try, why do you withdraw so many people when they die? ”
"Mr. Chief of Staff, my little brother admires your ingenuity. Most of the people who drowned in the river could swim! ”
"This ...... What is this......" the chief of staff could not say.
Sun Xiaoping said implicitly sarcastically: "Judging from the actions of the allied forces in the middle of the night, they have probably sensed our intentions, they are not stupid, and their attention will not be completely focused on the vicinity of this small small Tangshan, and they have to take into account the existence of several other national troops." When the situation was pressing, when they carried out a surprise attack on Xiaotangshan, they also divided their men and horses to contain the other national armies. ”
"Fang Zhenwu and Ji Hongchang always have some reserves in their hands." The deputy brigade commander hurriedly grabbed a sentence.
"Not bad. They also have to save some money. Although they still have 20,000 or 30,000 horses, how many troops can be invested in your little little Tangshan? It's a dead account that even a fool can settle! Sun Xiaoping said smoothly.
"Blindly rushing forward is a taboo for soldiers." The brigade chief of staff retorted, "You can't eat a fat man in one bite-"
"Alright, alright! It's the same old tune again, let's have something fresh, okay? The deputy brigade commander impatiently interrupted the chief of staff, "This is a critical time, and we must seize the opportunity as soon as possible." ”
"Don't talk about it anymore, just be it, what do you say?" The deputy brigade commander asked aggressively.
"Hold on!" The brigade chief of staff replied dryly.
"Joke, it's a big joke!" The deputy brigade commander almost died of anger, and said angrily, "Just watching the Allied army slip under your nose? Chairman Jiang and He asked, how do you explain? General Guan Linzheng, how can he explain? He no longer ignored the brigade chief of staff, and made a stand to the brigade commander Zhang Yaoming, and said in a pleading tone, "Brigade seat, let's order the pursuit!" ”
Zhang Yaoming couldn't make up his mind at once, so he was so anxious that he kept scratching his scalp with his right hand, and swept his eyes back and forth on the faces of the brigade chief of staff, deputy brigade commander, and Sun Xiaoping.
The main attacking forces of the Allied forces were almost completely withdrawn, and the rearguard troops began to retreat, and the men and horses went north one after another, gradually disappearing in the fog. Brigade Commander Zhang Yaoming opened his arms, scratched his unkempt hair with his right hand, and sweat began to drip from his head, but he still couldn't make up his mind. In the face of such a pressing situation, his brain was disturbed by his subordinates and Sun Xiaoping, and he had lost his usual unique composure and majesty, like a "vegetative person" who had lost consciousness.
Sun Xiaoping sighed again and again, showing anger and regret, and urged again: "The allied forces have all retreated. Brigade Commander, if you don't seize the fighter plane and pursue it as soon as possible, you will be punished, not to mention, the great achievement of the disappeared Allied Army will be snatched by others! ”
Zhang Yaoming's eyes showed a fierce light, his teeth chattered, and his face showed a decisive look.
Seeing this, the chief of staff was shocked, and quickly stepped forward to dissuade him, but before he could speak, he saw Zhang Yaoming wave his left hand, and he had to swallow his words again.
At this time, a staff officer hurriedly ran over and presented a telegram to Zhang Yaoming. The deputy brigade commander leaned over to take a look and whispered in surprise: "Brigade seat, this is a telegram from Xiyi No. 1 Middle School in the future!" ”
Everyone's spirits lifted, and their eyes were all focused on the brigade deputy's hemp face.
"General Yoshiyichi Nishii has already contacted the bombers and is ready to be dispatched at any time," the brigade deputy excitedly announced: "The air support planes have entered combat readiness, and as long as we mark the coordinates for them in time, they will fly here immediately." He wants us to keep up with the allies and fight for total annihilation. He looked at the thieves, looked down at the telegram in the hand of the brigade commander Zhang Yaoming, and laughed triumphantly.
"I just see that their allies can't jump a few times!" Sun Xiaoping also said proudly, "It can be seen that the Allied army is an unrighteous army, they are not only the enemies of our Kuomintang army, but also the opponent of small Japan, they are afraid that we will jointly send troops to retreat, which is enough to show that it is not a conspiracy." Brigadier Zhang, you don't have any concerns, do you? ”
"Wait!" The chief of staff of the old fox brigade was still not at ease, blinked a few times, and asked Sun Xiaoping: "What did the allies know that the little devil was going to bomb him with a plane?" ”
"Oh, my chief of staff! Don't underestimate the underground work of the Communist Party, who can guarantee that there are no CCP intelligence officers on the Japanese side? Judging from these signs, the retreat of Ji Hongchang's allied forces coincided with this. ”
Just as Zhang Yaoming was hesitating and carrying the villains, the phone rang, and it was Guan Linzheng, the commander of the 20th Division of the Kuomintang, Zhang Yaoming's immediate boss. In the phone call, he ordered Zhang Yaoming's brigade to pursue immediately, trying to hold the Allied forces in tow before the other Nationalist troops arrived, so that everyone could eat them in one bite.
Zhang Yaoming put down the phone, waved his arms and shouted: "Gather immediately and go out to pursue!" ”
When the regiment commander saw that the opportunity for meritorious service had come, he rushed forward, first saluted, and then said flatteringly: "Report to the brigade commander, let my regiment take the lead!" ”
"Okay." Zhang Yaoming answered, turned to an adjutant, "Except for the defenders, everyone else went out to pursue me in the trenches, and even the reserves followed me." ”
The chief of staff took a small step forward, stared at Brigade Commander Zhang Yaoming with his eyes, and said with great sadness: "I want to follow a regiment to supervise the battle, otherwise I won't worry!" ”
Zhang Yaoming saw the signs in the eyes of the chief of staff who seemed to have tears, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement.
In the sound of the urgent gong, a group of people flew out of the trench shouting horses, and Zhang Yaoming, the chief of staff, Sun Xiaoping, the deputy brigade commander, the commander of the first regiment and other shrimp soldiers and crab generals rushed out of the trenches one after another, and chased them north along several large and small roads.
Thick fog filled the sky over the Xiaotangshan area, the sound of aircraft motors and gunfire rang out, and Japanese bombers circled over Xiaotangshan.
Lieutenant General Xi Yiyi was sitting in the air force headquarters, he received a telegram of assistance from Brigade Commander Zhang Da of the Nationalist Army, and after arguing with his superiors, he finally persuaded his superiors at half past eight and took off at nine o'clock.
Xi Yiyi thought of assisting the Chinese Kuomintang army to eliminate the great danger of his henchmen this time, and when he asked for instructions, he actually had a big belly of fire, and now he was very annoyed in his heart.
In order to persuade his boss to act according to the action plan discussed with Zhang Yaoming's ministry in advance, Xi Yiyi really racked his brains. At that time, it was really burning eyebrows, every second counted, and there was no time to tell some big truths to convince the other party. He only grasped the other party's heart that he wanted to fight for merit and was afraid of taking risks, so he put forward his plan straightforwardly: The credit for the success of this flight belongs to the boss, and if it fails, he will bear all the consequences alone.
Suddenly, a thick fog drifted from the direction of Xiaotangshan, and with a burst of telephone ringing, Major General Commander Ono at the front desk of the airport called and reported in a hurry: "Your Excellency, there is a heavy fog in Xiaotangshan, and it is difficult for the plane to fly over and find the target for bombing, and it is almost impossible to see the coordinates. ”
Xi Yiyi didn't express his position immediately, he groaned for a while, and said with a heavy heart: "According to the secret report of the Beiping secret service, the weather was fine before five o'clock this morning, why is it foggy now?" It can be seen that the Allied Army is the army of justice. The heavens are immortal! ”
When the old subordinate heard Xi Yiyi's words, he stuck out his old sow-like tongue to the old elder, paused, and said calmly: "It's not necessarily God helping them, as long as the Kuomintang brigade commander Zhang Da asks someone to get the coordinates right in time, the elimination of the allied army is set today." ”
"Okay, that's it. I immediately sent a telegram asking Zhang Yaoming to inform my subordinates to secure the coordinates, and we will help them wipe out the Allied forces cleanly. Now take off again right away and report back to me when you get there. ”
The devil's bomber took off again and came towards the Big and Small Tangshan area.
