Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 49 Frustration
Li Zihan left, with a dozen old brothers reluctant and full of expectations for the future, his future is of course extremely bright, his father-in-law has taken care of everything for him, after recovering from his injury, he should enter the Military Commission, and after a year and a half in the Military Commission, he should be a colonel and a regiment commander.
However, Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing's hearts were confused.
Especially Xu 19, he has never been so confused as now, even after the Min Revolution, the 19th Route Army was suppressed and dismembered by the Central Army, Xu 19 did not feel at a loss and deeply disappointed in the future as he is now, because the Central Army's suppression of the 19th Route Army was essentially because the 19th Route Army established a separate government in Fujian.
In addition to being dazed, Xu Shijiu also felt unprecedented tiredness, really, really tired.
Looking at Xu Shijiu walking in with a blank look and a tired face, Ye Ruxue, who was writing a newsletter, put down the pen, looking at Xu Shijiu's current appearance, Ye Ruxue only felt a tingling pain in her heart, as if someone was pricking her heart with a needle, she really wanted to take Xu Shijiu into her arms desperately and comfort him softly.
Ye Ruxue stood up, and just when she was about to step forward desperately to comfort Xu Shijiu, Xu Shijiu sat down, then took out his military ID card from his jacket pocket, and then opened it again, looking at a photo in the military ID card, she was stunned, and when she looked at it, two lines of tears flowed down.
Seeing this scene, the enthusiasm in Ye Ruxue's heart faded like a tide, and then sat back in the chair in a daze.
Just when Gao Shen walked in, Ye Ruxue took the opportunity to leave, before leaving, Ye Ruxue looked back at Xu Shijiu, but her beautiful eyes contained too much pity, Ye Ruxue knew the story between Yu Jiaxi and Xu Shijiu, she heard Cao Jiao talk about it, she knew that Yu Jiaxi was no longer there, and it was the Yangtze River that sank in front of Xu Shijiu, Ye Ruxue couldn't imagine what kind of heart-rending pain Xu Shijiu should be at that time?
Gao Shenxing sat down and asked, "Old Xu, have you heard?" ”
Xu Shijiu put away Yu Jiaxi's photo, turned his head to wipe away the tears on his face, and asked, "What did you hear?" ”
Gao Shenxing was immersed in his emotions, and he didn't notice that Xu Shijiu had just cried, and said: "The 5th Pei has won the task of the main attack, Xue Yue is really a good means, hit a stick and give a sweet jujube to eat, but this sweet jujube is not so delicious, Wang Yaowu 5th Pei wants to eat this sweet jujube, I'm afraid it is not so easy." ”
Xu Shijiu didn't care much about these now, and said lightly: "The 5th Pei is still able to fight tough battles, and there are still a few capable people, not to mention others, Qiu Weida, the head of the 30U regiment, can still fight." ”
Gao Shenxing shook his head and said, "In short, it's not that easy. ”
(Dividing Line)
In the unfortunate words of Gao Shenxing, the 5th attack on the Japanese army did not go well.
The 305th Regiment of Zhang Lingfu under the 5th belonged to Zhang Lingfu and attacked Changling controlled by the L13th Wing of the Little Japanese Infantry for a whole day, and the first battalion of Liu Guangyu, who was in charge of the main attack, was almost completely wiped out, but the defensive positions of the Little Japanese were immovable.
Little Japan only needs to set up a machine gun on the commanding heights to easily suppress the attack of the national army, and the national army can only send daredevils to blow up with explosives bags, but how easy is it to blow up the small Japanese firepower point? Therefore, more often than not, the national army can only fill in with human lives and rush forward at the cost of sacrificing a large number of officers and soldiers.
But sometimes, just taking human lives doesn't necessarily work.
As soon as Wang Yaowu walked to the gate of the regimental headquarters of the 305th Regiment, Zhang Lingfu limped out to greet him, Zhang Lingfu's face and hands were full of gunpowder smoke marks, and the military uniform on his body was also dirty, obviously he had just returned from the frontline position, in fact, because the front attack was not smooth, Zhang Lingfu had already been to the front line twice.
"Zhang Lingfu, how did you do it?" Wang Yaowu didn't appreciate it, if the battle was not good, it would be useless for you to be the captain of the daring to die.
Wang Yaowu asked Zhang Lingfu's 305 regiment to play the main attack this time, in fact, he was selfish, because no matter in terms of qualifications, combat merits or ability, this time it will definitely not be Zhang Lingfu's turn to attack, others don't say, Qiu Weida, the head of the 30U regiment, is more qualified to play the main attack than Zhang Lingfu, but Wang Yaowu still chose Zhang Lingfu to play the main attack.
The reason is very simple, because the commander of the 153rd Brigade Li Tianxia has been promoted to the 5th deputy division commander, if nothing else, just wait for Wang Yaowu to be officially promoted to the commander of the 74th Army, Li Tianxia should replace Wang Yaowu as the 5th commander, so that the post of commander of the 153rd Brigade will be vacant, and Wang Yaowu hopes that Zhang Lingfu can become the commander of the 153rd Brigade.
But Zhang Lingfu still has a strong competitor, and this competitor is Qiu Weida, the head of the 30U regiment.
In terms of qualifications, Qiu Weida and Zhang Lingfu are both in the fourth phase of Huangpu, although Zhang Lingfu was the head of the regiment earlier than Qiu Weida, but he was sentenced to prison in the middle for the murder of his wife, and after being released from prison, Wang Yaowu asked him to become a senior staff member of the division in the 5th Pei, so if you only rank the qualifications from within the 5th Pei, Qiu Weida's qualifications are obviously older than Zhang Lingfu.
In terms of combat merits, Qiu Weida once annihilated a small Japanese infantry brigade on the battlefield of Luodian, which was unique in the entire Battle of Songhu, Zhang Lingfu became the commander of the 30U Regiment but had almost no outstanding performance, the only thing that can be remembered is that he was slightly injured in the defense of Nanjing.
In terms of ability, the two are actually comparable.
However, the factions of the national army have spread to every corner, and Wang Yaowu's ability is not exempt, although Qiu Weida is better than Zhang Lingfu in all aspects, and he is also Wang Yaowu's cronies, but after all, there is still a layer of separation from Zhang Lingfu, so Wang Yaowu is more inclined to let Zhang Lingfu be the brigade commander.
But now, Zhang Lingfu's performance has made Wang Yaowu's face gloomy.
Zhang Lingfu smiled bitterly and said: "Division, the firepower of the little Japanese is too fierce, and the terrain is unfavorable, so our army's strength advantage cannot be brought into play, so ......"
"Don't tell me it's useless." Wang Yaowu waved his hand suddenly, and said angrily, "I just want the result, I want you to smash the hard shell of the 10th Peituan of Little Japan, and replace me in the dog day Matsuura Junrokuro." ”
Zhang Lingfu's half-cut words stuck in his mouth, and only after a while did he stand up bitterly and said loudly: "Yes"
Li Tianxia, the deputy division commander who came with Wang Yaowu, suggested: "Division, it seems that the strong attack will not work. ”
Wang Yaowu walked into the 305 regiment headquarters and sat down, Zhang Lingfu hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over, Wang Yaowu took it and drank it, and then raised his head and asked Li Tianxia: "What is Yaozong's (Li Tianxia's character)?" ”
Li Tianxia said: "This humble position is really not there, why don't you convene a meeting of officers above the major level and work together?" ”
Wang Yaowu felt justified, and immediately sent a signal corps to call the 5th officer with a major or above to the regimental headquarters of the 305th Regiment, and held an operational meeting overnight.
This tactic is the same as the tactic used by Kenten Iino at the top of the mountain two days ago, that is, let the main force of the 5th Pei spread out in front of Changling, pull away Jiashi to attract the attention of the Japanese army on the opposite side, and then Zhang Lingfu led the 305th Regiment to quietly sneak into the dense forest and sneak attack the commanding heights of the Japanese army's entire Changling defense line from behind - Zhang Gushan
The relative height of Zhang Gushan is only a few tens of meters, and it is not steep, but it is the lifeline of the entire Changling defense line of Little Japan, as long as Zhang Gushan is controlled, the passage can be blocked with machine guns, so that the support forces of Little Japan cannot be mobilized freely, and the entire fortification system of Little Japan will be cut off.
"Okay, it's Zhang Gushan" Wang Yaowu slammed his fist on the map, turned his head and glared at Zhang Lingfu, and said sharply, "Zhang Lingfu, this is your 305th regiment's chance, if you still can't fight well, then don't blame me for replacing people." ”
Zhang Lingfu Huo Ran stood up, straightened his chest again, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, the 305th regiment will not be dishonored."
Wang Yaowu snorted and said coldly: "Okay, then play the majesty of your 305th regiment, let Little Japan take a good look, although your Zhang Lingfu's leg is lame, but his fighting spirit is not lame." ”
"Yes" Zhang Lingfu straightened his chest again and replied loudly.
