Section 8 The helplessness of the stone

"Brother Jianshi is cautious." After Wang Yaowu said something in a deep voice, he immediately fell into silence.

He knows a little about the situation of the 49th Army, the predecessor of the army was the guard unit of the Northeast Army, and the later unit was expanded to the 105th Division, under the jurisdiction of 3 brigades and 9 regiments, which can be regarded as an elite force. In the "Xi'an Incident", the 105th Division participated in the capture of Chiang in Lintong, and it was precisely because of this that the division had a bad fate from then on. In the 26th year of the Republic of China, the 105th Division was expanded into the 49th Army, and in early August, it blocked the enemy in Jinghai and other places in Cangxian County along the Jinpu Railway. Subsequently, he participated in the Battle of Songhu, the 105th Division lost more than half, and the 4 regiment commanders of the 109th Division lost 3, and the battle was particularly tragic.

However, because of the "Xi'an Incident," the division was greatly limited in terms of replenishment after the war, and neither the number nor the quality of its troops could be compared with other units, and its combat strength was naturally declining. This time, the 49th Army is responsible for the attack on the new front line, and such a performance is naturally unacceptable, but think about it from another position, this is also a helpless move, no soldiers and no weapons, what to do to fight with the devil?

Yu Chengwan snorted coldly, Wang Yaowu also stopped talking, only sighed softly, don't look at him is already an officer at the level of deputy army commander, but in these matters, he has no way, this feeling of powerlessness is really quite bad.

"Forget it, let the people above worry about these things, we are humble and light, so we should just do our jobs first." After Wang Yaowu was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke, as if he was comforting the people around him, and as if he was comforting himself, then he turned his head to Zhou Zhidao and said: "Jingfang, the threat in the direction of Fengxin cannot be removed, and the burden here in Dacheng is heavy. ”

Zhou Zhidao responded: "Rest assured, the 301st Regiment has fully taken over the defense area of Dacheng, and Commander Shi will stay in the south with the 302nd Regiment to rest, and the brigade departments will also be used as reserves in Dacheng, which is enough to block the counterattack of the Japanese army." ”

Wang Yaowu shook his head when he heard such an arrangement and said, "Jingfang, don't be careless!" After a pause, Wang Yaowu continued: "The 49th Army is useless on the flank, which makes our situation very passive. First of all, because of the threat of troops on the front line of Fengxin, Gao'an must be garrisoned with heavy troops to defend, otherwise the troops on the front line may be cut off from retreating at any time. Another point is that the enemy forces on the flanks have not been attacked, and they can send troops to reinforce the direction of Ayutthaya at any time, and in this situation of flanking from both sides, the defensive pressure on the front line of Ayutthaya is extremely great. After speaking, Wang Yaowu said earnestly: "Jingfang, this is the bridgehead for attacking Nanchang, and the burden is handed over to your brigade, but there must be no mistakes, they have been fighting here for several days, and relevant matters should be discussed with him." ”

Zhou Zhidao and Shi responded almost at the same time: "Don't worry, teacher! "Don't dare to be!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Yaowu waved his hand at Zhou Zhidao and said, "The defense here is very important, you go and arrange it first!" ”

Watching Zhou Zhidao salute and retire, Wang Yaowu said to Yu Chengwan again: "Brother Jianshi, what will your ministry do next?" ”

Yu Chengwan glanced at the stone, it seems that he has relied on him a lot in the past few days, in this case, he looked at him almost instinctively, and then seemed to come back to his senses, he said calmly to Wang Yaowu: "Deputy military seat, the 339th regiment of our department has suffered heavy losses in the bloody battle in Dacheng for several days this time, and basically has no strength to fight again. ”

Wang Yaowu nodded and said, "It's okay!" This time to defend the city, thanks to the help of Brother Jianshi, the battlefield on the flank of Chazishan also has to be thanks to Brother Pu Ru's command, after Brother Jianshi goes back, please thank you, another day Wang Mou's actions are neat, and he will personally come to the door to thank him. ”

Yu Chengwan shook his head and said: "The deputy military seat is polite, the 302nd regiment is in front of our department, and the battle of Dacheng also relies on the help of the stone brothers. Don't say it, don't say it, the deputy military seat is not in good health, please rest and take care of yourself, the war of resistance is arduous, and you can kill more enemies if you are strong and strong. ”

After a few polite words to each other, everyone said goodbye one after another, Wang Yaowu's face was not very good, which made everyone have no interest in talking, and although the battle of Chazishan was over, the overall situation became more and more confusing, which made them not have the joy of winning the battle, and they were all depressed.

Leaving the stone to inquire about the battle situation after crossing the Jinjiang River, Wang Yaowu looked at the stone that was talking eloquently, and couldn't help but be quite pleased. In fact, you don't need to listen to too many explanations from the stone, just look at Yu Chengwan's previous praise for him, and you can guess one or two. Wang Yaowu was quite happy about the level shown by the stone battle, after all, he still took a little risk when he promoted the stone unusually, if the stone couldn't get any convincing results, at least the big hat of cronyism would definitely be buckled on his head. However, since Shi Shi was promoted to the head of the 302 Regiment, the 302 Regiment, which was originally very good at fighting tough battles, has greatly improved its combat effectiveness.

A smile appeared on Wang Yaowu's pale face, looking at Shishi's face full of resoluteness, looking at his dirty military uniform, for the first time he was not angry because of the untidy appearance of his soldiers. Nodding with satisfaction, Wang Yaowu said with concern: "Stone, you have been married for less than a month, and you will let you lead the team to participate in the bloody battle, you won't blame me, right?" ”

Shi Ying said: "When a soldier fights and kills devils, it is a matter of course, and it is also our duty, how dare my subordinates abolish the public for personal reasons." ”

Wang Yaowu nodded with satisfaction, how to look at the stone at this moment, how to look at the stone, after a long time, he said: "I'm afraid there will be several battles here in Dacheng, Fengxin's devil will not solve it for a day, and the main force of Gao'an will not dare to go north for a day, after dawn tomorrow, the 153 Brigade will come to reinforce, and our 51st Division will gather in Dacheng in order to occupy this bridgehead, although your 302nd Regiment has suffered a lot of losses, but this battle is very important, you will stay here for the time being to rest, in case the situation changes, you can also give friendly troops to help." After this battle is over, your regiment will give priority to reorganization, and in addition, the battle achievements in this battle are huge, and you may also have to be promoted to the next level. It's just that you are now a major general and regimental commander, and then you are at the brigade level, and when you reach this position, you need to think about more than just fighting, and he had better make more preparations. ”

When Shi Shi heard this, there was no joy or sadness on his face, but he saluted and said calmly: "Everything is arranged by the master's seat." ”

Wang Yaowu is very satisfied with the neat and neat appearance of the stone without the slightest doubt, with his identity, there is naturally no shortage of loyal people around him, but the war like the stone is extremely strong, and he never mentions any conditions, nor does he form a gang, and there are almost no people who only think about fighting, and because of this, Wang Yaowu is the most favorite among several regiment commanders to bring up the stone. Not only because of his military exploits, but also because of Shi's temper and personality, Wang Yaowu was greatly satisfied.

When they returned to the station, Wu Zihuai, Lin Xiufeng, Liu Wenfeng and others rushed over, and they were quite curious about the division commander leaving the stone alone to speak. In the case that the brigade commander did not enjoy this kind of treatment, only the stone was like this, which undoubtedly made them very excited, which shows that the regiment commander has a bright future!

Naturally, their identity and status will undoubtedly rise with the tide, just look at Liu Wenfeng, Li Wenguang and others, if it weren't for the stone, how could people like them have the opportunity to become the commander of a battalion?

Shi Shi was indifferent to these, not that he didn't feel about the things he might promote, but after fighting for more than a year, he seemed to be used to jumping up so many times. There is another point, that is, as his status is getting higher and higher, the battles he commands are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more brothers under his command are dying in battle.

Seeing that the head of the regiment was not interested, the others were naturally very surprised, but they were also interested, and they didn't say anything more, just looked at the stones curiously, as if they wanted to see something unusual from his expression.

Stone then informed the whole group of the next action, which was to stay in Ayutthaya. There was no opinion on such an arrangement, and they had been fighting in the big city for several days, and even if they stayed, it was very different from before. The subsequent arrangement of the stone was exactly as they expected, they continued to stay in the south of the city to rest, serving as the reserve of the whole division, the front line of defense was temporarily taken over by the 301st Regiment, and tomorrow, after the 153rd Brigade arrived, they would be stationed in the city, they could be regarded as retreating and resting, but they did not withdraw from Gao'an, but stayed in place.

Thinking that they might have to counterattack Nanchang next, they were relieved, Shangfeng's arrangement was naturally quite meaningful, anyway, they didn't need to fight the battle for the time being, what was the difference between staying in Dacheng and staying in Gao'an?

Only after the stone was arranged, there was a look of helplessness on his face, and his brow was slightly frowned, showing that his heart was not as calm as it seemed to be. Others are not easy to ask, but the tall sledgehammer seems to be thoughtful, but he is not usually a person who likes to talk a lot, and in this case, he naturally won't say anything.

According to the original concept, after taking Gao'an, the next step is to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army on the new line, and completely sweep away the Japanese minions around Nanchang. However, the reality is always helpless, let alone the encirclement and annihilation of the new 106th Division, because of the successive defeats of the 49th Army, they need to worry about the safety of Gao An. If the threat of Fengxin's flank is not lifted for a day, they will not dare to draw Gao'an's troops to the north for a day, and with the strength of the 49th Army, this will completely become a dead knot.

Thinking of this, Shi Shi could only shake his head helplessly, if he only counted on them to fight this battle, I am afraid that no matter how many victories he won, the whole army has such a combat strength, they are only two or three thousand people, and what can they do in vain?
