Chapter 208: Return to the Battlefield (2)

Just when Liu Yuanshan and the others were hesitating, Liu Quan came in: "Report to the commander, telegram from the war zone." ”

Liu Yuanshan took it and looked at it, handed it to Chen Ruihe and said, "Execute the order." ”

Chen Ruihe took it and took a look at it, and understood why Liu Yuanshan said that it would be carried out, because this telegram was no longer a combat order, but a warning telegram with severe wrong words, ordering the Snow Fox Corps to arrive in Nanchang within five days, otherwise it would be dealt with as a delay in military aircraft.

In fact, both of them understood what Xue Yue meant, and Li Wenxiu was a little unconvinced: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanchang, can it be that Snow Fox can block the Japanese attack by going by himself?" Why is this, is it not bullying Miss is not there. ”

Liu Yuanshan said: "Don't say it, we are soldiers in the army, we should obey orders, and we can't stop fighting devils just because Miss is not there, right?" ”

Dai Zong said with some dissatisfaction: "Commander Liu, don't you want to lose this position?" Liu Yuanshan knew that he was the commander, Dai Zong and Lai Changwen were not convinced, Lan Xun Zhou suddenly asked for leave to go home to visit relatives for some reason, and he never came back, and the position of division commander was represented by Dai Zong. This time, Dai Zong and them were even more arrogant, but the snow fox was already full of Xue Ru's people. Hearing Dai Zong's words, he was also a little angry: "Dai Zong, what do you mean?" Do we disobey orders and wait for all the snow foxes to be disarmed? ”

When he said this, Lai Changwen was also dissatisfied: "Disarming, it depends on whether he has the ability." Miss is against Snow Fox accepting their command, a group of incompetent fools, more than a dozen corps of troops, but unable to block the attack of three divisions, why should we listen to orders. ”

"You ......" Liu Yuanshan was also angry: "Lai Changwen, I know you are not convinced, but we are first of all the army, and Miss Devil will resolutely rush to the front, when is Snow Fox afraid of fighting devils?" Are you afraid of fighting or snow foxes? ”

"Fart" Dai Zong stood up suddenly: "Liu Yuanshan, you make it clear, who is afraid of war?" Lao Tzu will be afraid of devils, and I am against obeying orders, which will bury the snow fox. Look at how the Japanese army attacked, and how did the national army defend it? It's not a death to bump into it like this. ”

Chen Ruihe always felt that there was something wrong with Xue Ru's arrangement, because he could see that Liu Yuanshan could not obey. Xue Ru is easy to say in everything, but now that Xue Ru is not here, the problem will come out immediately, and he really doesn't listen to Liu Yuanshan. Although the 36th Division is equivalent to entering the Snow Fox, he is only the deputy commander, and it is inconvenient to say anything, after all, the Snow Fox Independent Division is the real main force.

Li Zhipeng is the commander of the 36th Division, but he has some power to speak: "Everyone, I don't think I need to say more, what Commander Liu said is right, can we watch?" ”

He was the division commander designated by Miss, and he had half of the strength of Snow Fox, and Dai Zong and Lai Changwen didn't say anything directly. Xiao Yong was the brigade commander and didn't want to say anything, but he knew that Xue Ru had agreed to his relationship with her, so he should take control of this unit for Xue Ru. In fact, Xiao Yong is not brainless, but he is a little impulsive and makes a mistake with Xue Ru.

cares too much about Xue Ru's thoughts, sometimes he can't let go of his hands and feet, this time he said goodbye, made love with a kiss, and let him settle down. said: "Everyone, I think what he said makes sense, Commander Liu said that it is not okay not to listen to orders, but we can't listen to them all, after all, Snow Fox tactics are different from other armies, I think it is not necessary to rush to Nanchang first, where is Miss, we don't know, find a way to notify Xue Ru to rush back within five days, we will have to rush to Nanchang for a few days, you think this is good?" ”

This can impress everyone, Xiao Yong rarely speaks, only carries out orders, because he has always been a deputy. But this is the first time to put forward an opinion, it is so reasonable, I didn't expect him to have such a mind, no wonder Miss would take a fancy to him. Dai Zong was unkind to Xiao Yong, so he said: "Okay, I don't see that I still have this ability, much better than some people." ”

Xiao Yong also wanted to be offended, on the one hand, he didn't want Snow Fox to have losses, and on the other hand, he didn't know what to do. He wanted to try to find Xue Ru in the next few days, that is, Xue Ru's words. Others don't know, but Xiao Yong knows that Xue Ru wants to go to Myanmar, and there is a Xi Muchong next to him, who is a military commander. The Military Command Bureau should know where Xue Ru is at any time, but these are only known to him, and he can't say them. Another point is that Li Wenxiu knows, but although Li Wenxiu is the chief of staff, she is too timid and doesn't say anything, so Snow Fox's people don't take her seriously. Xiao Yong smiled bitterly: "I said Dai Zong, I am only the brigade commander, and such a thing has to be decided by the commander and chief of staff." ”

He said and looked at Li Wenxiu with his eyes, and only Li Wenxiu understood this. Xue Ru is here, and Li Wenxiu, the chief of staff, is more like the director of logistics, which also covers up her mind and ability. Seeing Xiao Yong's eyes, he immediately understood that Xiao Yong asked her to speak. Only then did he remember that he was the chief of staff of the Snow Fox Corps, and in fact, his power to speak was stronger than that of Chen Ruihe.

Besides, she has always been Xue Ru's spokesperson, so she said: "Everyone, don't fight, I think so, send a telegram to Commander Xue, Snow Fox takes time to concentrate troops because of scattered training, please give me a few days, and we will resolutely carry out the order." The troops assembled and drove to Nanchang to see how to fight. If it's not right, it's never too late to say no. Besides, we can also come up with our own battle plans. Commander Xue is a person trusted by Miss, and it is impossible to harm Snow Fox, I think he can listen to it. Use this time to see if you can notify Miss, see what instructions she has, Wei Ming and they should know where Miss is. ”

These words were reasonable, and no one would argue anymore, Liu Yuanshan nodded in agreement. He was a little dissatisfied with Xue Ru and let himself be the commander, but no one obeyed him. In fact, Li Zhipeng just didn't say it, and it was up to Chen Ruihe to do anything. He made up his mind in his heart, Xue Ru came back, he resolutely did not serve as this commander, who likes to be whom, what is the result of the open resistance to the order of the theater command?

In fact, Liu Yuanshan did not understand that the authority was established by himself, not by others. At the critical moment, it must be picked up, and at this time it should not be discussed, but should be given directly to the order, and others will have to listen.

Xue Ru only saw that Liu Yuanshan was stable enough to have a mind, and ignored the somewhat weak side of his character. The supreme commander of the army should be a simple person, and even if it is wrong, it must be carried out below. What is iron discipline and what is an iron-blooded soldier is also one aspect of the embodiment. In fact, Liu Yuanshan's personality is suitable for being a chief of staff, but not for a commander, which is also caused by Xue Ru's lack of comprehensive understanding and improper employment.

Just like Li Wenxiu's character, she can't be the chief of staff at all, she should be the director of logistics, or a secretary, but Xue Ru has put them all in an unsuitable position.

Xue Ru is here, these can't be seen yet, but now that she is not there, these shortcomings will be immediately apparent. At this time, he could find a way to inform Xue Ru that if she was really gone, Snow Fox would probably fall apart immediately.

Now that he had a direction, he followed this method, on the one hand, he informed Wei Ming to find out where Xue Ru was, and on the other hand, he reported to Xue Yue that it would take more than ten days for the snow fox to reach Changnan.

Xue Yue couldn't do anything about this, the snow fox did not disobey, but dragged on for a few days. However, the situation in Nanchang could not delay time, the Japanese army finally crossed the Xiushui River, opened the way with mechanized combat vehicles, followed by infantry, and the heavy artillery brigade closely followed behind, such a powerful attack, the national army could not stop it at all.

It took only two days for An Yi and Xinbong to be lost, and Wang Tiehan's army put up desperate resistance on the road of the Japanese attack, but Gangcun Ningji once again ordered the large-scale use of poison gas bombs.

The national army basically did not have gas masks, how could they hold the defensive line, the three divisions of the Japanese army marched in unison and surrounded Nanchang, if nothing else, the defeat of Nanchang was decided.

Xue Yue urgently mobilized troops to continue to block, although the Japanese attack was fierce, they were once again desperately blocked by the Chinese army, originally thought that the battle would end quickly, but after more than ten days of attack, the Japanese army only attacked the Ganjiang Bridge on the periphery of Nanchang.

At this time, the three divisions of the Japanese army, with a tank wing, broke through quickly, and the mobility of the Chinese army was limited, but it fell behind. Xia Zhongchu, Song Kentang, Wang Dongyuan, and Li Yu's armies and divisions pursued the Japanese army at the end, and the two sides formed a staggered situation, but they could not stop the Japanese attack.

If the Japanese army captured the Ganjiang Bridge, then Nanchang was doomed to be lost, and Xue Yue had no choice but to prepare to defend the direction of Changsha, Hunan, fearing that the Japanese army would pursue and attack Changsha.

Wu Yizhi in the headquarters said: "Commander, I think you should go to Changsha, Nanchang ......"

Xue Yue shook his head: "The Japanese army is also the end of the crossbow, their mechanized chariots, because of fuel problems, the attack cannot last, as long as their chariot troops are blocked, we can still hold Nanchang, why are the anti-aircraft guns not yet?" ”

Wu Yizhi said with a bitter face: "Commander, it's useless, Chongqing said that there are no shells, and it's useless to have artillery." ”

"No shells? Didn't I hear that a shipment of shells arrived? ”

Wu Yizhi said: "The Quartermaster Department said that the batch of weapons and ammunition that entered through the port of Haiphong in Vietnam was ordered by the French governor in Vietnam to not pass through because of the pressure exerted by Japan on the French government. The transportation by land through the Myanmar railway was too slow, and large quantities of weapons, ammunition and war materials were transferred to Myanmar. The government is negotiating with France, and the results of the negotiations have not yet been reached, and the ammunition has not been brought in at all. ”

Xue Yue slammed his fist on the table, the Japanese army is a light and medium tank, if there are enough shells, this kind of tank will not be able to resist the 37 battle defense guns at all, as long as the tank can be destroyed, the Chinese army will not be defeated by the Japanese. It's a pity that his battle defense artillery unit has become an ornament because there are no shells. Under the bombardment of artillery, the Japanese army quickly attacked the combat vehicles, which was not at all something that the flesh and blood of the infantry could stop.

Gangcun Ningci's hand was indeed clever, disrupting Xue Yue's subordinates, and the narrow places on the front were powerless to block, and the Japanese attack on both sides was smooth and successful.

Originally, there were assists on both sides and a frontal breakthrough, but now it has become a three-way attack. In this way, the defensive strength of the national army is also insufficient, and if the reserves are transferred up, once they fail, I am afraid that it will not be a problem of losing Nanchang, and even Hunan will not be insured.

Wu Yizhi said: "I just received a report from the Snow Fox Corps that they have arrived in Zhangshu and can enter Nanchang in two or three days. ”

Xue Yue sighed: "It's useless, what can they do when they come, the Japanese army has advanced to Nanchang in three ways, can the snow fox block the entry of the three divisions of the Japanese army?" ”

"Report" The chief of staff came over: "Report to the commander, General Xue Ru telegraphed." ”

Xue Yue was shocked, how did Xue Ru's telegram get to him? While receiving the telegram, he asked, "Where is she?" ”

After speaking, he remembered to read the telegram, and after reading the telegram, he was confused for a while, what did Xue Ru do in Hezhou? This is a telegram sent by Xue Ru in Hezhou. But the telegram didn't make it clear, it just said that Xue Yue insisted on holding Nanchang, dragged the Japanese army under the city of Nanchang, she rushed to Guizhou, and asked Xue Yue to pick her up by plane, transfer to Changsha, and return to the front line two days later.

Xue Ru originally wanted to go by water when she went to Vietnam, but she led a small detachment and couldn't hide her identity, and the Japanese army had blocked the coastal areas, so she could only go by land, from Ganxian County, and went directly to Shaoguan.

In fact, Xue Ru knew in his heart that he had nothing to do with Shaoguan, and he didn't stop in Shaoguan, so he immediately rushed forward to Hezhou on horseback, intending to go to Nanning. Since you want to go to Vietnam, of course, you don't need to go to Kunming, from Guangxi through Zhennan Pass to Langshan, and enter Vietnam is the same, it is still a lot.

When the group entered Hezhou, the curtain suddenly said, "Miss Xue, we should stop here for a while, and I will contact our people." I saw the contact code at the city gate, and I didn't know what it meant. ”

Xue Ru nodded, this way forward quickly, it is indeed tired, riding a horse is not as easy as riding a car, but it is faster than walking, people are not easy at all, and they are very tired. The horse's physical strength is also limited, so he must stop and rest, so he nodded and said, "You also have personnel here?" ”

Xi Muchong said with some pride: "The military commanders are all over the country, but there are not many people here, and there is only one intelligence group here. ”

As for the method used by the military commander to communicate, Xue Ru didn't ask, and he wouldn't say anything if he asked Xi Muchong. The group found a large hotel to stay in, and it must have been fifty or sixty people, so they found the largest hotel. Xue Ru wants to take a bath and take a rest, and it will not be a short time or two.

At night, Xi Muchong came back, Xue Ru was sleeping, and Qiao Lijuan knocked on the door: "Miss, Mr. Xi has something urgent to see you." ”

Xue Ru got up suddenly, it was so late, Xi Muchong wanted to see that there must be something wrong with him, so he got up and put on his clothes and said, "Let him come in." ”

Xi Mu rushed in: "Disturb the young lady's rest, the matter is urgent." ”

Xue Ru said: "It's okay, what's the matter?" ”

Xi Muchong said: "That signal was left for me, that is, to let me go to the intelligence station. I went to find out that it was Wei Ming who contacted the military commander and asked me to find you. Because I didn't know where we were, I left contact signals along the way, in fact, there were also the first few locations, and there were in Shaoguan, but I didn't see it. ”

This time Xue Ru was surprised, why did Wei Ming look for himself and use the power of the military commander, it must be a big deal, it should be very serious. "Why?" he asked. ”

Xi Muchong said: "Stationmaster Shen didn't say it, and I have no right to know, because this is the director's order, and I must report to you in person." ”

Xue Ru was completely surprised this time, she left like this to know that she had no duty or responsibility, and it didn't matter where she went. hurriedly said: "Where is Stationmaster Shen, I'll go see him." ”

"No, I know that Miss Xue is in a hurry, so I asked Stationmaster Shen to come," Xi Muchong said.

Xue Ru hurriedly said, "Please let him in."

A middle-aged man came in from outside and saluted Xue Ru: "See Miss Xue, Shen Bing is below." ”

Xue Ru thought that the military commander Shen was drunk, but it turned out to be Shen Bing. He also said: "Stationmaster Shen has worked hard, what's the situation?" ”

Shen Bing said: "Actually, I don't know, it didn't say above, it just said that the Japanese army attacked Nanchang, the national army was defeated and retreated, and Nanchang was not protected." Commander Xue Yue transferred the Snow Fox Corps to participate in the battle, and it seemed that something was wrong. Foreign Minister Wei of the Snow Fox Intelligence Department contacted the military commander to find you and ask you to go back. ”

Xue Ru was shocked, Xue Yue's transfer of the snow fox to participate in the war was nothing, and the snow fox was not a small army. Why did the devils attack Nanchang? Being able to mobilize the snow fox to participate in the war, it seems that the battle situation is not good. Hurriedly asked, "Do you have a radio here?" ”

Shen Bing nodded: "Yes." ”

Xue Ru said: "Okay, let's go to you, I want to contact the Snow Fox Corps." ”

The squads that slept and rested all got up, so that the innkeeper didn't know who these people were, and got up and left in the middle of the night. But these people have weapons, and they don't wear military uniforms, so how can they have nothing to do.

Xue Ru and the others came to a small grocery store that was not very conspicuous, which was the military commander Hezhou intelligence station. With the radio waves, Xue Ru finally knew what was going on.

Because the military commander didn't know what was going on, it was Wei Ming who asked to find him, and the telegram also contacted the Snow Fox Intelligence Department, and there was really no way to explain this kind of thing, besides, it was a long distance, there were no communication satellites, the telegram was done through underground cables, and the secrecy was also very poor, only passwords could be used, and the speed was also very slow.

But I basically figured out what was going on. Because of the problem of whether to listen to the command or not, there were disagreements within the snow fox, and finally decided to delay the time and wait for Xue Ru's instructions. Although the snow fox has sailed to Nanchang, it will not participate in the battle.

Thinking about this, Xue Ru understood that it was his own thoughts that made Snow Fox not accept the command of other generals. Xue Ru was worried that the command error would cause the snow fox to suffer too much loss. But Xue Yue was obviously angry and did not listen to the order, and the snow fox was also in danger, so he immediately sent a telegram to Liu Yuanshan, ordering them to stop at the outskirts of Nanchang, and Xue Ru found a way to rush back.

Shen Bing said: "Miss Xue, it is very close to Guilin from here, there is a military airport there, if there is a plane, you can transfer to Changsha and fly directly to Nanchang, you can arrive in two days." ”

Xue Ru also knew that they were all fighters at this time, and the range was very close, but she didn't know if she could do it, did she have such a big face?

But she still reported to Xue Yue by telegram, hoping to send a plane, and she would arrive in Nanchang in two days.
