How could Kong Lingsui fall into the pit? Isn't this military seat quite cautious? To explain how Kong Lingsui fell into the pit, we have to start with the 13th and 15th Divisions of the Outer Mongolian Cavalry and the Japanese army and the puppet army.

After the capture of Baotou, the 13th Outer Mongolian Cavalry Division immediately began to build fortifications in preparation for future battles. The 150th Regiment of the 15th Outer Mongolian Cavalry Division (missing the 152nd Regiment, which was stationed in Guyang) remained in Baotou as a reserve, while the 151st Regiment pursued eastward.

What is the 151 regiment chasing? Naturally, it was to pursue the Japanese army, and in the area east of Baotou, the regiment annihilated part of the Japanese puppet army, and exchanged fire with the Japanese reinforcements, and the battle was fierce for a while. At the same time that the 151st Regiment exchanged fire with the Japanese puppet army, Kong Lingsui's forward reconnaissance unit also arrived in Baotou.

It was this reconnaissance unit that had pitted Kong Lingsui. This unit did not dare to approach Baotou at all, and only arrested some puppet soldiers and refugees who ran out of Baotou City on the periphery for interrogation.

What valuable information can this group of people have? Even they couldn't figure out which side had attacked and occupied Baotou, some said it was the Communists, some said it was Yan Xishan's troops, and some said it was the Three Horses in the Northwest. All in all, the information is full of errors.

It stands to reason that such absurd information is worthless, but the quality of the middle and low-level officers who scrape the army really dare not compliment, and there are not a few who are greedy for life and afraid of death. For example, the commander of this reconnaissance company is a coward, and he did not dare to continue to go deep into Baotou to conduct reconnaissance, but casually processed the information full of errors and omissions and reported it to the division headquarters.

So what did this company commander say? He said: "Our department swore to the death to approach Baotou, and after careful and careful investigation, we can be sure. The Eighth Route Army of the Turkish Communist Party had already seized the city. Now the communist bandits are fighting fiercely with the Japanese invaders outside the city. ”

All right. It is conceivable that when this information was placed in front of Kong Lingsui. What kind of misjudgment will he make? The Eighth Route Army occupied Baotou, which was expected by him, with the marching speed of their snails, they must have been discovered by the Communist Party long ago, and with the urine nature of the Communist Party, it was too normal to strike first.

According to Kong Lingsui's thoughts, in fact, he wished that the Communist Party would occupy Baotou earlier, so that he could stop in a dignified manner. Ask Hu Zongnan to hurry up and reinforce him, so that he will be safe.

If Baotou was still in the hands of the Japanese army, Kong Lingsui would probably be very difficult to do, according to the Scraping Kuomintang's statement on this military operation: it was to recover Suiyuan, drive the Japanese invaders away from the Hetao area, and ensure the safety of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area. Anyway, according to the Scraping People's Party, the action of scraping the army was completely well-intentioned, and it was to help the Eighth Route Army fight the Japanese invaders.

According to this rhetoric, once Baotou is still in the hands of the Japanese army, then Kong Lingsui can only attack Baotou hard. Kong Lingsui was a little grateful to the Communist Eighth Route Army. He can finally justifiably stop, and he can't attack the "friendly forces", right?

Then. Kong Lingsui sent a telegram to Hu Zongnan, saying that Baotou had been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and that he could only temporarily stop in order to avoid sabotaging the war of resistance. It is hoped that Hu Zongnan will quickly report this situation to Chongqing and let Lao Jiang give an order, so that he can start to drive the Eighth Route Army away.

When Hu Zongnan saw this telegram, he was a little angry and a little painful, if it wasn't for Kong Lingsui walking too slowly and delaying the fighter plane, he could let the Communist Party occupy Baotou first? Doesn't that disrupt his whole plan?

Hu Zongnan has always believed that even if the Communist Party knows about his actions, it is unlikely to take "excessive" actions, after all, the strength of the two sides is very different, as long as the Communist Party dares to blow up the assassination, then Hu Zongnan thinks that he can teach the other party how to behave in minutes. So he didn't make a relevant plan at all, but was thinking about how to fight the Japanese army and the puppet army.

Now, the full set of previous plans is invalid, doesn't this increase his burden? At this juncture when the Chinese New Year is approaching, his headquarters has to be forced to work overtime, isn't this scolding?

All in all, the information fed back by Kong Lingsui made Hu Zongnan very unhappy, and even thought that Kong Lingsui was too stupid, you don't care who the hell Baotou is occupied, you just treat it as if it is still in the hands of the Japanese, and go directly to fight! Winning the battle and recapturing Baotou is the first credit, do you think the old man will be unhappy? As long as it is an active anti-communist act, it is too late for the old man to be happy!

However, Kong Lingsui doesn't see it that way, he belongs to a miscellaneous brand, if he goes to fight the Eighth Route Army regardless of it, even if he can capture Baotou, he will definitely not be the one who will receive the award for meritorious service in the end. It is only Hu Zongnan who can receive awards for meritorious service, and the charge of attacking "friendly forces" to sabotage the War of Resistance must be shouldered by him. At that time, Jiang was a fool who slapped the Communist Party in the face and beat him with grass by the way!

Therefore, for Kong Lingsui, if he can, he will not fight, he will report everything first, and it is not too late to act when there is a clear statement from above, and he will not be used as a gunman.

Jiang received Hu Zongnan's report in the afternoon of the same day, after learning that Baotou was occupied by the Communist Party in advance, the bald head was very angry and distributed a circle of Niang Xipi! Of course, after scolding, the problem still had to be solved, and immediately Lao Jiang summoned Zhou Gong, asked Zhou Gong to give an explanation, and asked the Eighth Route Army to immediately give Baotou to Hu Zongnan.

Zhou Gong knew it in his heart, categorically denied that the Eighth Route Army occupied Baotou, and lost no time in saying that if Commander Hu Zongnan needed the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army was willing to send troops to Baotou.

How could Lao Jiang let the Eighth Route Army cooperate with the occupation of Baotou, he thought that this was a trick played by Zhou Gong, I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army has indeed occupied Baotou, and now he just doesn't want to give Baotou to Hu Zongnan, and deliberately lies. Once he agrees to let the Eighth Route Army cooperate in the battle, I am afraid that those turtles will immediately announce the recovery of Baotou.

At that time, the scraping army and Hu Zongnan will become a joke, and as soon as the domestic public opinion becomes noisy, the final cut off of the Soviet aid channel will become a void. Therefore, the bald head rejected Zhou Gong's suggestion in one bite, saying: "Hu Shoushan is a first-class general of the party-state, and the 34th Group Army under his department is the elite of the national army, and he will definitely be able to conquer Baotou in one battle to do his best!" ”

At this time, the bald head's idea was very simple, since the Communist Party said that it did not occupy Baotou, then he didn't care whose team was occupying Baotou now, he only occupied Baotou with the Japanese, anyway, when the two armies clashed. Even if the other party identifies again, it is useless!

So. He gave Hu Zongnan a very strict order: "Capture Baotou immediately!" ”

Hu Zongnan also knew that this must be the result. So soon he strictly ordered Kong Lingsui: "Baotou is still under the control of the Japanese army, I hope my brother will enter the army as soon as possible, so as to recover Baotou as soon as possible, and reward Yun......yun on the day of victory."

Kong Lingsui was dumbfounded, went around in a circle, and his feelings were in vain. What's even more terrifying is that this time it was not only Hu Zongnan who forced him to attack, but Lao Jiang and the Army General Headquarters also personally sent him an urgent telegram. It is required to conquer Baotou as soon as possible.

As a result, Kong Ling was numb, and now he has no choice but not to attack. In desperation, then attack! However, Kong Lingsui also left a hand, he didn't plan to really attack, but pretended to be a casual hit, hit twice casually, and then stopped and complained about grievances, which is also a necessary skill for miscellaneous cards to resist the dumping of the central forces.

Kong Lingsui immediately gave an order to Wang Jun, commander of the newly formed 27th Division, asking him to conduct a fire reconnaissance in Baotou. Find out the troop disposition of the "Japanese army" and other relevant information. Kong Lingsui also particularly stressed that the scale of fire reconnaissance should not be too large, and it must not be caught by surprise.

Of course. The essence of the so-called not to startle the snake is to preserve strength, which is nothing more than asking Wang Jun to make a show. But Wang Jun is an extraordinary soldier, as a soldier, he is extremely indignant at the enemy raging the motherland, as a Shaanxi native, watching his hometown destroyed in the war, he is even more indignant.

Therefore, unlike Kong Lingsui, who hoped to preserve his strength, Wang Jun wanted to fight the Japanese invaders, so he did not engage in any firepower reconnaissance according to Kong Lingsui's orders, but set up a full-scale attack at the beginning (Wang Jun was martyred in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in 1941)!

However, this blow surprised Wang Jun, this "Japanese gangster" is very unusual, and its combat effectiveness is very strong. Of course, it is not news that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese invaders is higher than that of the scraping army, and Wang Jun also knows this. What surprised him was, how did these so-called "Japanese criminals" look so unusual?

How could Wang Jun not know the military uniforms and weapons of the Japanese invaders, but these "Japanese criminals" in front of him are not like the Japanese invaders, what is going on?

When Kong Lingsui was questioned by Wang Jun, this military seat actually smiled bitterly, of course he knew that it was not a Japanese criminal, but Lao Jiang and Hu Zongnan pointed to the deer as a horse, and insisted that the Communist Party was a Japanese criminal. However, Kong Lingsui couldn't debunk this diorama, and it wouldn't do him any good if he did, so he could only tell Wang Jun vaguely: "It's probably a puppet army!" ”

Elves?

Wang Jun looked again with a telescope, the enemy's face looked quite like the puppet Mongolian army, but the military uniform didn't look like it at all, and when did the puppet army's equipment be so good? All the same water beads, Makqin heavy machine guns, as well as infantry artillery and field artillery support, if this Nima is a puppet army, then this puppet army is too awesome, it is on par with the Japanese army!

Anyway, Wang Jun was skeptical of Kong Lingsui's statement, and according to his meaning, he should first find out who the enemy was, and then it would not be too late to fight. However, his request was rejected by Kong Lingsui, and the reason was very simple, whether it was Hu Zongnan or the bald head, there were telegrams urging him to attack, and the meaning was very clear, if he Kong Lingsui did not carry out the order, then the sinners of the party-state had to be court-martialed.

Kong Lingsui naturally doesn't want to be tragic, and he can only press one level at a time, since your Central Army Huangpu Department is pressing me, then it's okay, I don't want to transfer the pressure to your Huangpu Department (Wang Jun is the third phase of Huangpu)!

And Kong Lingsui felt that he was interesting enough, but he had explained to Wang Jun before, it was fire reconnaissance, and he also pointed out that the scale should not be too big, if Wang Jun still couldn't hear what he meant, then really don't mix in the scraping army.

It's a pity that Wang Jun really doesn't understand Kong Lingsui's meaning, or that he understands, but he is unwilling to implement it. He was a very strong, upright and patriotic soldier, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he took the initiative to ask to fight the Japanese army on the front line. In 1937, he led the first regiment of the Shaanxi Garrison Brigade to block the Japanese army in the Yongji area of Shanxi.

Look at Wang Jun's performance, and then look at Yan Laoxi's performance, the latter is an authentic king of Shanxi, and Shanxi is his base camp, so it is said that he should have more fighting spirit. But Yan Laoxi's troops really didn't do anything, and they collapsed at the first touch.

What's even more a pity is that there are too few "fools" like Wang Jun in the army. More generals only know how to drink the blood of soldiers to make a fortune and preserve their strength. Most of the fools like Wang Jun died heroically. This is also an important reason why the scraping army is becoming more and more wasteful at the end of the Anti-Japanese War.

So. In this battle, Wang Jun did his best, and his subordinates fought fiercely. And this ruthlessness is a bad thing, Wang Junfa ruthlessly The 13th Division of Outer Mongolia will naturally not be polite, and naturally he will go all out to entertain the new 27th Division. The two sides entered a white-hot state on the first day of fighting.

The battle was fierce, and the natural casualties would not be small, of course, the greater casualties were Wang Jun's troops, and the reason was very simple. They are at a disadvantage in terms of weapons and equipment, troops, and terrain, so naturally they can't bargain.

That night, after Kong Lingsui received a report of Wang Jun's casualties and a request for reinforcements, his glasses shattered to the ground. He didn't expect Wang Jun to be so fierce and put the main force into it in one go, let alone that the combat effectiveness of Tubalu was so strong that it could inflict such a big loss on the newly formed 27th Division. To be honest, he had a bit of a ghost feeling.

Kong Lingsui guessed that he was afraid that he had met the old Eighth Road, which was estimated to be the main force of the 120th Division? Otherwise. Can Wang Jun, who has never complained bitterly, be stunned?

At this time, there was a problem in front of Kong Lingsui, and Wang Jun was reinforced to continue fighting. This is a hard hit, Kong Lingsui neither wants to lose his strength, nor does he want his own people to fight his own people. But if you don't fight, Hu Zongnan and the bald head can't explain it, how can this be good?

However, Kong Lingsui didn't need to be embarrassed for too long, because soon, the 13th Division of the Outer Mongolian Cavalry helped him make a choice. Early the next morning, when Kong Lingsui ordered Wang Jun to suspend the attack and wait for reinforcements, the "communist army" in Baotou City took the initiative to attack! The cavalry quickly went around the back of the newly formed 27th Division and stabbed it fiercely, it hurts!

After receiving Wang Jun's report, Kong Lingsui expressed his disbelief, the communist army doesn't seem to have this style, and there are too many cavalry, right?

Wang Jun is actually even more unbelievable than Kong Lingsui, the Turkish Communist Party is not without cavalry, but there are definitely not so many cavalry, and the charging momentum of the entire two cavalry regiments is very scary! Moreover, the horses of the opposing cavalry are also different from the domestic cavalry, which are all Mongolian horses, relatively short, and are known for their endurance. And this cavalry, all of them are Western high-headed horses, and they are obviously good at charging, which is very wrong!

In fact, the Outer Mongolian cavalry originally used Mongolian horses, but after the Soviet Red Army cut off most of the cavalry, a considerable part of the horses were transferred to the Outer Mongolian side, which also directly led to the great improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Outer Mongolian cavalry.

Wang Jun's doubts became more and more, especially at noon that day, when the enemy launched wave after wave of offensives and gradually drowned them, he finally had a clearer judgment - the enemy in front of him was definitely not a Japanese attacker!

"Brother Zhengzhai, you give me an explanation, what kind of enemy is this?"

Kong Lingsui couldn't cry or laugh a little, and he admired Wang Jun's sluggishness a little, as a Huangpu department, you can't even figure out the fundamental purpose of this operation, which is also strange enough. What's more, you've been fighting the enemy for more than a day, can't you still figure out the details of the gangsters?

However, Wang Jun's answer surprised him: "This is by no means a gangster, the enemy has a large number of cavalry, and the firepower is extremely powerful, and it is completely not under the Japanese invaders!" ”

Kong Lingsui was shocked, he had a good idea of Wang Jun's military quality, since Wang Jun said that the enemy was by no means a gangster, then it was definitely not.

"The puppet army that strengthened the Japanese artillery?" Kong Lingsui asked.

Wang Jun once again denied his answer: "Most of the weapons used by the enemy are water beads, and their military uniforms are not like puppet soldiers!" ”

It is unlikely that the puppet army will use water and beads, that is, the communist bandits armed by the Soviets?

Wang Jun smiled bitterly: "This is absolutely impossible, the front-line soldiers reacted, and the enemy did not speak Chinese, but a bit like Mongolian!" ”

Mongolian?!

A flash of lightning flashed in Kong Lingsui's heart, and after ruling out many possibilities, there seemed to be only one possibility, and it seemed that only the Outer Mongolian army raised by the Soviet Union could appear here! But what made Kong Lingsui puzzled was, how could the Outer Mongolian army come from Suiyuan? What's going on?

There were too many questions to be solved, and before he got the answer, Kong Lingsui thought that he must not fall into it, so he immediately ordered Wang Jun to retreat!

"Withdraw! Yes, take it down! Now that the enemy situation is unknown, we can't fight a confused war! Find out who the enemy is and how many troops there are, and then make a decision! ”

Kong Lingsui categorically ordered Wang Jun to retreat on the one hand, and urgently sent a telegram to Hu Zongnan on the other hand, but the information of his reaction was ridiculed by Hu Zongnan.

"This Kong Zhengzhai will play tricks, he didn't want to fight with the communists several times before, and now he has come up with such an absurd excuse, the Outer Mongolian army? Where did the Outer Mongolian army come from? The Soviets are still fighting the school president to resist Japan, how can they directly fight with us...... Tell Kong Zhengzhai not to play tricks, not to retreat, and to continue the attack. Well, I have to put a little more pressure on him and tell him that he must recover Baotou within five days, otherwise don't blame me for Hu someone's ruthless military law! ”

One can imagine how disappointed and angry Kong Lingsui would be when he received Hu Zongnan's reply. Hu Zongnan made it clear that he wanted to rectify him and push him into the fire pit, and it seemed that he had only one way to die...... (To be continued......)
