Section 161 The situation is very serious

This pause lasted for five days, and it was not until September 23 that the military headquarters of the 74th Army, which should have rushed to the outskirts of Changsha according to the order, received an order that the threat on the south bank of the Jinjiang River had been lifted, and the independent regiment immediately moved west to Changsha to join the main force. After receiving the order, Shi did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately led the independent regiment all the way to the west and quickly rushed to the battlefield in northern Xiangbei.

On the night of 26 September, the Independent Regiment rushed to Yong'an Town, more than 40 miles east of Changsha, at an astonishing speed of 150 miles a day. The order was given on the 23rd, and arrived on the night of the 23rd, and the speed of the march of the independent regiment was superb. You must know that they are not light soldiers, but with grain, grass, and baggage, and the coolies of the people to hurry together, not to mention that they have to face the harassment and bombing of devil planes along the way, it is not easy to arrive at this time, in fact, in Wang Yaowu's imagination, the independent regiment should arrive as soon as the evening of the 27th, but I did not expect that the stone troops were more than 20 hours earlier than originally estimated.

After receiving the news, Wang Yaowu ordered the independent regiment to rest and stand by in Yong'an Town to recover his strength as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he ordered Shi Shi to come to Huanghua Town in person to discuss the military situation. After receiving the news, Shi naturally didn't dare to have any delay, and after riding the war horse, he was about to leave with a few guards, and Shen Qingyun on the side immediately shouted: "Commander Shi, I said it at the beginning, I will follow you step by step." ”

Shi looked at him with some surprise and said, "Changsha is your territory, are you still afraid when you get here?" ”

Shen Qingyun said calmly: "If it were someone else, Shen would not be worried, but Captain Shi is not an ordinary person, so he naturally has to be careful." ”

Wu Zihuai on the side couldn't help sighing: "Stationmaster Shen is inevitably staring too closely, right?" You haven't found anything in these three months, do you still expect to gain anything in the next few days? Besides, if our group is really *, where would you have survived to this day? It's probably not a difficult thing to find an excuse to kill you. ”

Shi seemed to know Shen Qingyun quite well, so he didn't say anything more, but simply said: "Let's go, as long as you are not afraid of being slaughtered by our army, you can follow wherever you go." As he spoke, the stone was not polite, and immediately beat the horse and galloped away. Shen Qingyun on the side was not ambiguous, and immediately turned over and followed closely behind the stone.

When Shi took Shen Qingyun into the military headquarters of Huanghua Town, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Shi didn't expect that the scale of this military discussion was so large, and the commanders of all divisions and departments were there, and Wang Yaowu and others didn't expect that this little station commander of the military commander would follow Shi Shi every step of the way, when the hell was it, and the people of the military command were still entangled in the stone? Thinking of this, Wang Yaowu couldn't help but be angry, and immediately reprimanded: "Get out, you can come here too?" ”

After that, without waiting for Shen Qingyun to make any moves, four guards rushed out from the side, and without saying a word, they forked the colonel stationmaster out. Seeing their actions like this, Wang Yaowu snorted coldly, and the anger in his heart was also a lot smoother, but he didn't know if his anger was born because of the people who saw the military commander, or because of this battle.

"Stone, you're late." Zhang Lingfu on the side chuckled at this time and smiled at the stone.

Yu Chengwan, who was stained with blood on his military uniform, also smiled at this time: "It's better to come early than to come at the right time, and the stone arrived at the right time tonight." I heard that you have been being investigated by the military commanders for the past few months? Brother Zhong Lin and I were still discussing this battle, can you catch up! If you don't come, this battle will not be easy to fight, the devils in front of you are not those stunned last time, they are all the elites of the A Division, you have encountered no less than us, how powerful it is, you know better than us. ”

As they spoke, the atmosphere in the headquarters suddenly relaxed, and the stone first saluted Wang Yaowu and Chief of Staff Chen, and then saluted Yu and Zhang and said: "The two brothers smiled, this time I was not careful about my own affairs, and I delayed for some time. However, if you want to say that the devil is powerful, it is not necessarily, Brother Jianshi's 57th Division, one division can withstand the onslaught of the devil's division for more than ten days, even if it is a class A division, there is no chance to get cheap from you! ”

Zhang Lingfu smiled: "You can still see the stone clearly, you may not know it yet, right?" As soon as the 57th Division arrived here, it gave the devil a dismount, and now the Chunhua Mountain on the north bank of the Laodao River has been taken down by Brother Jianshi, this stronghold is a thorn stuck in the throat of the devil, and if they don't take it out, they won't dare to attack Changsha. In addition, you don't have to blame yourself too much, the people in the military command are looking for trouble with you, and it is not you who provoke them, so you can't blame you for this matter, just fight with peace of mind, and after the battle, the military seat will definitely get justice for you. ”

Seeing that they were almost done greeting, Wang Yaowu also coughed lightly, and then said to Chen Yu on the side: "Let's start!" ”

Chen Yu nodded, personally walked to the large map hanging in the headquarters, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The time when each department arrived at the battlefield is different, and the information learned is also very little, in order to allow each department to accurately capture fighters in the next battle and complete their respective combat missions, I will first tell you about the situation on the front line in northern Xiangbei." ”

"From the dawn of September 18 when the Japanese launched a full-scale offensive, the New Wall River defensive line changed hands in a matter of hours. The 58th Army and other troops retreated all the way, and could not stop the Japanese army at all, until the 24th, the defense line of the Miluo River was lost, and the defenders of each department were divided into two, one part withdrew to the area of Pingjiang, waiting for an opportunity to attack the flank of the Japanese army, and the other retreated to the periphery of Changsha, relying on the line of the Laodao River to defend the last defensive line of the perimeter of Changsha. Chen Yu said, stretched out his finger and pointed to the map and said: "The Japanese army's attack strength this time, after this period of fighting, has been basically proven, the Japanese army's 3rd, 4th, 6th, 40th, four divisions as the main force of the attack, plus the 13th division, the 33rd division and the independent mixed 14th brigade of each brigade mixed detachment, a total of about 40 brigades, about 25 artillery brigades, the total strength of about 120,000 people. Chen Yu said with a frown.

At this time, even the officers who were accustomed to seeing the big scene frowned one after another, the enemy's strength was too much, and the 120,000 troops marched south in a group, rushing forward on the battlefield that was no more than a hundred miles wide, and the price to pay if they wanted to block the enemy's offensive of this scale can be imagined. It is no wonder that in just a few days, the Japanese army fought all the way to the periphery of Changsha, not only because the battle happened too suddenly, and the reinforcements from all walks of life did not have time to arrive at the battlefield, but the main reason was that the difference in strength between the two armies was too great.

"At present, the friendly forces in Changsha have the 79th Army, the 10th Army, the 37th Army and other troops, and the 4th Army, the 58th Army, the 72nd Army, the 99th Army, the 26th Army and other troops in Pingjiang. Chen Yu clicked on the map a few times and continued: "In this battle, the Japanese army invested almost all the mobile forces of the 11th Army, and our army's 9th Theater troops also had 200,000 troops. Not long ago, our army received a telegram from Chief Xue ordering him to be responsible for guarding the defense line on the north and south banks of the Laodao River in the east of Changsha, especially the area of Chunhua Mountain, which was just captured yesterday, which is the highest point on the periphery of Changsha, and has a bearing on the safety of the Laodao River defense line. ”

After listening to Chen Yu's words, Wang Yaowu also continued: "The chief of staff has just explained the surrounding situation, how to fight the battle in the entire Changsha, naturally there is a peak to plan, and the most critical issue for us at the moment is to hold Chunhua Mountain, hold the defense line along the river for 30 miles in this area, and all the soldiers will listen to the order." ”

There was a "whoosh", and everyone immediately straightened up and listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.

"The 58th Division immediately rushed to the area of Chishi River to garrison, the 57th Division continued to garrison the Chunhua Mountain defensive line, the 51st Division was stationed at Fenglin Port, ready to reinforce the direction of Changsha at any time, and the Independent Regiment had just arrived in Yong'an, temporarily serving as the army's general reserve, waiting for orders to attack at any time." Wang Yaowu gave an order, and everyone immediately shouted in response.

The military discussion ended quickly, and at the moment of the war, Wang Yaowu didn't have the heart to let them stay longer, so after explaining the battlefield discipline again, he asked them to go back immediately to arrange for the command of the troops.

Shi just wanted to turn around, but he heard Wang Yaowu ask, "Shi, how is the situation in northern Jiangxi?" ”

Shi had no choice but to stop, turned around and replied: "Report to the military seat, the defense line on the south bank of the Jinjiang River is very stable, and the 49th Army, which rushed to Xiakou from the Zhangshu area, has a good combat strength, and since the beginning of the battle, it has been holding the throat of the enemy, and the Japanese 34th Division has never been able to move forward. ”

Wang Yaowu nodded and said: "Although I know that the devil is a feint, but the upper and higher places are fought hard by the brothers with their lives, and I really don't want to be occupied by the devil like this." Now that we hear you say that you are safe, then we can concentrate our minds on fighting the battle ahead. ”

Chen Yu on the side asked with concern: "Stone, the military commander's gang didn't make any more trouble for you, did they?" If it really doesn't work, first arrest them and put them in the military headquarters, this battle is too important, and you must not be distracted during the war. ”

Shi thought for a while and said: "Thank you for your concern, I can settle the people of the military commandery, since I dare to take them with me, I am sure to make them obedient." ”

Wang Yaowu couldn't help but nod when he heard the stone's calm words, obviously the stone that killed decisively had returned.
