Chapter 209: Nanchang Offensive and Defensive Battle (1)
The car carried Xue Ru into Guilin Airport as fast as possible, there was no way, there could be no transport plane, Xue Yue could only send a telegram directly to ask Air Force Commander Zhou Zhirou to send fighter jets to pick up Xue Ru to Nanchang. Many people disagree with Xue Yue's decision.
Isn't four or five group armies as good as one Snow Fox Corps? Could it be that Xue Ru is really an immortal who can change the situation of the battle in Nanchang? The Air Force believes that a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, that is, a matter of sending an airplane.
Zhou Zhirou ordered the Changsha Fifth Flying Team to send a bomber to Guilin, and ordered the intelligence station to prepare a car to send Xue Ru to Guilin.
Xue Ru had no choice but to put down his squad and let Commander Xu Zhan stand by in Guilin, and went to the airport alone. The fighter can't sit more than one person, this is a Hawk bomber, unloaded*, just carrying an aviation machine gun, not even a bombardier, give the bombardier's position to Xue Ru. The plane rushed off the runway and flew towards Changsha. More than an hour later, the plane landed at Changsha Airport, took off again after refueling, and flew directly to Nanchang.
Xue Ru was anxious, because before getting on the plane, he received a report from Wei Ming and information from the military commander that the Japanese army had broken through the Ganjiang River and approached the city of Nanchang, and Nanchang was in danger.
Xue Yue's command had already withdrawn from Nanchang, leaving Luo Zhuoying as the commander of the former enemy, commanding the troops around Nanchang to block the attack. The national army troops are basically on the periphery, and there are only security forces in Nanchang City. Luo Zhuoying hurriedly ordered the nearest 79th Army Xia Zhongchu to return to Nanchang.
Xue Ru ordered the Snow Fox Corps to march day and night, and it must reach Nanchang within twenty-four hours. This is a death order, even if it is vomiting blood. Even Shen Bing thought it was impossible, because the Snow Fox Corps was still in Zhangshu, and it was more than a hundred kilometers away from Nanchang, and it was not so fast even if it didn't rest. But Xue Ru believed that the snow fox would be able to arrive.
I don't care if I hold Nanchang Xue Ru, but the Japanese army actually gathered mechanized combat troops, and this trick will be made, so let the snow fox experience it once, and let the Japanese army know that in front of the snow fox, nothing is good.
He will arrive in a day, and the Snow Fox Corps also happens to arrive, which is what Xue Ru hopes the most, if the Japanese army once occupies Nanchang, and then wants to recapture it, there is no air supremacy, no heavy artillery, it is very difficult to recapture Nanchang.
Attacking a county town can use small stratagems, but a provincial capital like Nanchang is not a small stratagem. Xue Ru hoped that Xue Yue could hold out for two days, as long as Snow Fox was given one day to prepare, Nanchang would be the grave of the Japanese army.
Seeing it, seeing the outline of the city in the distance on the plane, Xue Ru knew that it was still too late, but he didn't know if the Snow Fox Corps could arrive as scheduled.
Luo Zhuoying, who took over as the commander of the 19th Group Army and served as the commander of the former enemy, was also very anxious; although the Japanese army failed to cross the river after the Ganjiang Bridge was blown up, another Japanese army crossed the river at Zengjia and Shengmi Street, attacked Song Kentang's 32nd Army horizontally, and cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway. The remnants of the 32nd Army retreated to Nanchang City, plus the two brigades that returned from Chuchu in the middle of Xia, the total strength was only more than 10,000 people, and the attacking Japanese 106th Division was a reorganized division. The 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade was crossing the river, and once the artillery was in position, Nanchang would not be able to hold it in any way.
The "report" staff officer came in: "The Snow Fox Corps has arrived and asked to enter the city." ”
Luo Zhuoying was stunned, didn't he report it in the camphor tree the day before yesterday? Arriving in Nanchang today, did they fly in or lie about the military situation? Or is it not in the camphor tree at all? He was stunned for a moment and said: "Let them enter the city, the troops will defend the direction of the northern city, and order Liu Yuanshan to come to see me immediately." ”
When the snow fox entered the city, the soldiers could barely walk, as long as they did not arrive, they still had the support of their spiritual will, but as soon as they entered Nanchang, they immediately couldn't walk. In one day and one night, running wildly for more than 200 miles, this is the ultimate speed that human legs can reach.
After receiving Xue Ru's order, the Snow Fox Corps immediately agreed on it, and there was no disagreement. Liu Yuanshan ordered Xiao Yong's 2nd Brigade to be in front, Dai Zong's 1st Brigade to be behind, and the 2 brigades of the 36th Division to be on the left and right, and to advance in groups, and not to eat for more than 20 minutes, without rest. The troops rushed forward in five columns in order to speed up the march.
The snow fox only carried weapons and ammunition on his body, and all other things were put down, and he moved forward lightly, as if he was galloping. It's just that the speed is too fast, and it is useless for the Japanese reconnaissance plane to know the location, and by the time the bomber arrives, the snow fox has already left the original location, so that the Japanese army cannot intercept it. Just when Xue Ru's plane saw Nanchang City in the sky, the snow fox had already entered Nanchang City.
After receiving the order, Dai Zong and Lai Changwen immediately looked at Liu Yuanshan. Because the direction of the Japanese attack was in the north, Luo Zhuoying ordered the Snow Fox Corps to enter the north city to defend, and it was indeed a stupid command. The Japanese army has planes and heavy artillery, and if they hold the position of the city wall, isn't it just to send them to death? Snow Fox and these people have already accepted Xue Ru's thoughts, and they will not fight like this.
Liu Yuanshan also knew what these people meant by looking at him, so he said: "Execute the order first, I'll go and see, Commander Luo, I hope you can listen to my advice before the young lady arrives." ”
Since Liu Yuanshan said this, it was Miss's order to enter Nanchang, Dai Zong and Chen Ruihe didn't say anything, and ordered the troops to go to Beicheng to rest and stand by for the time being. Liu Yuanshan rushed to the headquarters to see Luo Zhuoying, hoping that he could follow the tactics that Snow Fox had researched, not block the city walls, let the Japanese army in, and use the city street battle to kill and injure the Japanese army.
In fact, urban street fighting is a last resort mode of combat, but the Chinese army's weapons are inferior to the Japanese army, so this can only be used to make heavy artillery and aircraft useless.
Liu Yuanshan didn't know if Luo Zhuoying would agree, and letting the Japanese army in to fight was equivalent to giving up Nanchang. Inside the headquarters, Luo Zhuoying's face was ugly, and Snow Fox's careful thinking He also understood that if it weren't for Xue Ru's call, I'm afraid Snow Fox would not have entered Nanchang at all, and he must have been hiding nearby, otherwise how could he arrive so quickly in Zhangshu.
No matter how Xue Yue said that Xue Ru would go to Nanchang, Luo Zhuoying thought that Xue Ru was not the commander after all, and Liu Yuanshan was. Snow Fox must have a way to hold Nanchang when he enters Nanchang at this time, at least Snow Fox Xue Ru will not be stupid enough to get the troops to die.
Seeing Liu Yuanshan saluting, he waved his hand and said, "You really arrived in Zhangshu?" ”
Liu Yuanshan was also angry, originally the troops were very angry if they didn't listen to him, and as soon as they entered the city, they let the snow fox stick to the north city like they were sent to death. Now that he was running wildly for a day and a night, he suspected that Snow Fox was lying, so he said: "Snow Fox marched more than 200 miles in a day and a night, which can be checked, Commander Luo can verify it if he doesn't believe it, and he lied about the military situation, and Liu is willing to accept the punishment." ”
This tone had a little meaning for the subordinates to speak, which made Luo Zhuoying angry. But it was amazing to be able to travel such a long distance in one day and one night. Liu Yuanshan was right, this could be found out, so he didn't want to say anything more, and said directly: "The independent division of the Snow Fox Corps will hold the north city, the 36th division will hold the east city, and the 32nd army will hold the west city. Blocking the Japanese army. ”
Liu Yuanshan is a steady person, and he is not a person who is too easy to get angry, but when he is angry, he is also a little angry: "Commander Luo, how long will you hold on?" ”
"This ......" Luo Zhuoying really couldn't answer, this is the consistent tactic of the national army, and this kind of perseverance has no time at all.
Liu Yuanshan doesn't want to be the commander of this corps anymore, anyway, Miss will be here soon, if he can keep Snow Fox, he can be regarded as worthy of Miss's trust, and he doesn't think about it at all. He said very politely: "Commander Luo thinks that the Japanese army will retreat in a few days after attacking, or will we hold on until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War?" ”
"Bold, despise Shangguan, Liu Yuanshan, I don't think you want to be this commander anymore" Luo Zhuoying finally got angry.
Liu Yuanshan also let it go: "Commander Luo, the Japanese army has a heavy artillery wing, a chariot wing, and an airplane in the sky, which is to let the troops go to the city wall to die." I don't know how long Snow Fox can hold out with only 20,000 people. Ten days, twenty days, a month, what is the final result? This is the case in Nanjing, Shanghai, Xuzhou, and Wuhan. Why? ”
Luo Zhuoying was speechless, why didn't he understand this, but what could he do? Said angrily: "It's not a matter for you to think about it, carry out the order." ”
"No, please forgive me for not being able to carry out such an order, I have to be responsible for the 20,000 brothers of the Snow Fox" If people don't care about status, there is really nothing to be afraid of. Liu Yuanshan's stubborn temper also came up, he didn't care what Luo Zhuoying thought, he just couldn't let the snow fox die in vain. Since Miss let the troops enter the city, there must be a way, so let's wait for Miss to arrive.
"You dare to disobey, believe it or not, I'll shoot you now," Luo Zhuoying said with some ferocity;
Liu Yuanshan was still so calm: "Commander Luo, let me tell you, even if you shoot me, you won't be able to command the snow fox, I think it's better to wait until our young lady arrives." ”
Luo Zhuoying was almost out of luck, thinking that the snow fox was strong in combat and could keep Nanchang by entering Nanchang, but it turned out to be like this. Snow Fox is not one or two thousand, but twenty thousand, if he really disobeys, he really has no choice. Said angrily: "Chief of Staff Jiang, send a telegram to Commander Xue and report the situation." Ask Xue Ru what time it will arrive. ”
Jiang Heng kept watching coldly, he knew that this was the truth, the army had reached a certain size, it was really difficult to do, so he had to send a telegram to Xue Yue for instructions. Luo Zhuoying said to Liu Yuanshan: "You can go back, get ready." Xue Ru is not a commander. But you also remember that if you are like today, she will never be Commander Snow Fox. ”
Liu Yuanshan was shocked, he thought that if he got it, the young lady would come back, and he would no longer be the commander. They should know that others can't command Snow Fox, and they will designate Miss as the commander in the future. But he thought about things too simply, Snow Fox had already exposed his disobedience, would the government still let Xue Ru be the commander?
Who can rest assured of a force with more than 20,000 people, strong combat effectiveness, and uncontrollable? I felt like I had made a mess of things, and I left the headquarters a little depressed. Luo Zhuoying said to Jiang Heng beside him: "Report the situation to Chairman Jiang of the Military Commission." ”
This time it was not reported to the commander of the theater, but directly to the military commission. Jiang Heng knew that this time not only Xue Ru was finished, but even Xue Yue was finished.
Xue Ru didn't know what was happening, her plane finally landed at Nanchang Airport, Xue Ru got into the car and went straight to the headquarters in the city, knowing that the Japanese army had not yet attacked Nanchang, and a few hours ago, the snow fox had entered Nanjing, which made Xue Ru breathe a sigh of relief and finally caught up.
"Report, General Xue Ru to" report from the sentry at the door. Luo Zhuoying put down the telegram in his hand, this was Xue Yue's telegram, telling him that Snow Fox had special tactics, it was not that he didn't obey orders, but that he would wait for Xue Ru to arrive and make a decision according to the situation. Xue Yue also metaphorically told Luo Zhuoying that this is a common phenomenon in the national army, not only the Snow Fox Corps.
When she put down the telegram, Xue Ru came in outside, she didn't know Jiang Heng, but she knew Luo Zhuoying, and stood up and saluted: "Subordinate Xue Ru see Commander Luo." ”
Seeing that Xue Ru was not wearing a military uniform, he was originally dissatisfied, so he said coldly: "Miss Xue, you are not my subordinate, and Luo Mou does not dare to be it." You may be seated. ”
Xue Ru was stunned for a moment, since the beginning of Nanjing, the relationship has always been good, and he didn't offend him, what's going on? Xue Ru, who is no longer the same as before, has also learned not to lose her temper, and arrogance is sometimes useless. He also smiled: "When did Commander Luo become so stingy, I don't seem to have offended you, right?" It's really ungraceful to be like a girl. ”
is typical of the little girl's tone, which made Luo Zhuoying embarrassed and helpless. It is said that Xue Ru is a fox spirit, and Luo Zhuoying really hasn't been in contact with it a few times. Nanjing City is also in a hurry, at that time, because of Tang Shengzhi, Xue Ru was very arrogant, and would rather be shot than relent. What's going on today? Converted, or is there some purpose?
Similarly, he is not very old, and he is not good, and he looks ungraceful. A smile barely appeared on his face: "This is the army, and Luo Mou in the war room is not a gentleman." ”
Xue Ru knew that something must be wrong, so he said: "Then Commander Luo will talk about the battle, in fact, I don't have any position, and it's useless to talk to me if you don't talk about it." Since I'm here, I want to hear it, anyway, I'm still a soldier. ”
Jiang Heng saw that Luo Zhuoying was embarrassed to say that Xue Ru might not know what was going on, after all, it was true that Xue Ru only came back from Hezhou by plane, so he said: "General Xue, although you have no position for the time being, Snow Fox doesn't listen to anyone, and without you to speak, Commander Luo's words are not good." ”
Xue Ru already knew that the Snow Fox Corps had entered Nanchang on the way here, so he understood that it must be Luo Zhuoying's order that was refused to be executed. No, Liu Yuanshan is not a person who doesn't know the severity, the telegram has already told them that he will arrive later, just deal with it first, why do you have to come hard? He also said: "Commander Luo, you know, Snow Fox is not strong in combat, but special in tactics, I think Commander Liu and they didn't understand your combat intentions, right?" ”
Luo Zhuoying didn't say it, in fact, it was Liu Yuanshan who asked him and made him speechless to answer, didn't that seem to be very incompetent? But at this time, the Japanese army can attack at any time, there are only so few troops in the city, how can Snow Fox hold it if it does not participate in the war? After all, he is the commander of the group army, and he will not be like a child who has a temper and knows the severity. I also had to say: "Since they didn't understand, Chief of Staff Jiang, let's talk to Miss Xue, I hope Snow Fox can understand." ”
How could Jiang Heng not understand the current situation, if Xue Ru was the same as Liu Yuanshan, Luo Zhuoying might have to use tough measures. The army does not allow such a situation to occur in wartime, and if necessary, the snow fox can be temporarily transferred out of Nanchang. He walked to the map and said, "Miss Xue, the current situation is like this......
