Section 157 Dispatch troops to Changsha
Section 157 Dispatch troops to Changsha
Obviously, the powerful attack power of the Japanese army far exceeded the expectations of the commanders of the national army, and the Xinqiang River, which they relied on as a dangerous defensive line, was lost in a few hours, which also caused them a great blow. In order to hold Changsha, in desperation, they could only draw reinforcements from other places, and the 72nd Army, which was resting around Shanggao, was in the first batch of queues to be transferred.
Seeing that the fighting in Changsha is becoming more and more intense, the officers and men of all armies have also entered a state of imminent battle. All units, including the 74th Army, are also ready to rush to Changsha's aid at any time. Some time ago, they had been reorganizing their training in Fenyi and Xinyu, but now in the past few months, the officers and men of the three divisions have completed the replacement of Soviet-style equipment, and the whole army has achieved excellent results in the evaluation, and after these months of training, the fighting ability of the officers and men of the divisions has also been improved to a certain extent. Judging from the fact that they usually outline their main combat tasks in every battle, it is only a matter of time before they rush to Changsha in this battle.
However, the independent regiment, which had always been prepared before the divisions, was still in a chaotic mess, including the entire Yifeng, which was in a state of chaos.
The Scouts of the Independent Regiment are exemplary among all armies, and even when there is no fighting in the vicinity, they are constantly dispatched to inquire about the news of all sides. When the Japanese 33rd Division moved westward, they got the news as soon as possible, and if it was the stone in the regiment headquarters in the past, they would definitely consider the significance of it, and guess the enemy's movements, so as to deal with and deal with it in a timely manner. However, although the stone at this moment does not have anything to do in name, in fact it basically does not care about the affairs of the independent regiment. And Shen Qingyun, the head of the Changsha Station of the Military Commander, led a group of personnel of the Military Commander, who had almost turned Yifeng upside down in the past few months, and the more they could not find evidence of fornication*, the more they refused to give up. Although they did not interfere in military affairs and did not interfere with civil affairs, during this period of time, they were ridiculed everywhere by the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the common people.
Lin Xiufeng, the temporary head of the regiment, has taken a rare opportunity this time, during this time, the things up and down the independent regiment have been handled by him personally, and the daily busyness not only did not make him feel tired, but the whole person was full of energy, the kind of confident smile floating on his face, people could see his good mood at a glance.
However, thinking of what happened to the regiment at this time, the attitude of the officers and soldiers in the regiment towards the "acting regiment commander" can be imagined, and now there are many rumors in private that the reason why the military commander suddenly came out like this was actually a knife stabbed by Lin Xiufeng in secret, in order to replace him. Now the matter of the head of the regiment has been investigated for three months, and no evidence can be found at all, but it is still being investigated, and it is clear that he wants to take this opportunity to remove the regiment. When they think of these things, they are cold, who is the stone? It was a warrior who had led them to fight for several years, and the mere fact that he had never lost a battle was a mythical existence, and over time, the stone seemed to be synonymous with invincibility and a symbol of hope in the hearts of everyone. If it weren't for the fact that the small courtyard where the stone lived couldn't help but go in and out, and the military seat was also fully defended at the beginning, I'm afraid that these fierce generals of the independent regiment would have known what was going on.
In such a situation, it can be imagined how difficult it is for Lin Xiufeng to command the whole regiment, not to mention anything else, that is, the seven battalion commanders in the regiment, none of them are vague about him, not to mention Liu Wenfeng, Gao Da Hammer, who don't know how much stronger than the average regiment commander, is Hu Zi, Liu Cannon, Li Shi saw the three of them, and none of them were good at stubble, although Lin Xiufeng was also an old qualification in the 302nd Regiment, but he had never commanded troops above the battalion level to win a battle. With only the identity of the chief of staff of the 302 regiment, who can be suppressed?
So when Lin Xiufeng got the news that the reconnaissance company had come back and wanted to call the troops to respond, his actions and arrangements were ridiculed by everyone! Isn't it normal for the 33rd Division of the Devil to move west? In the Battle of Shanggao, the 33rd Division and the 34th Division suffered heavy losses, and the 33rd Division was transferred out of northern Jiangxi to make up for it, which was a very normal thing, but if these two divisions stayed in northern Jiangxi, it would be an abnormal move. It's totally nothing to do! Now that the devil is going west to make up for it, will we also leave Yifeng? Tuanzuo and his brothers laid such a large foundation in Yifeng, and they lost Yifeng with such a small thing?
Lin Xiufeng couldn't help frowning when he listened to the various words you said and I said around him. With his own original thoughts, the best way to do this was to be ready for war, suspend vacations and outings, recruit people, and be ready to attack at any time. But what they said seems to be reasonable, such a transfer may indeed be a normal action of the devil, is it too reckless if he hastily gives an order? The most important thing is that he himself has only just assumed the command of the independent regiment for a short time, and if he makes a mistake in the first major order, who else can he command in the future?
Lin Xiufeng hesitated and hesitated, seeing the different opinions of several battalion commanders, and hearing that his subordinates had their own opinions, he couldn't help frowning, thinking that it would be a matter of waiting, it was not a big problem to be late, and it should be too late to wait until the order was conveyed to make preparations.
The battlefield situation on the front line in northern Hunan is changing three times a day! The original idea of the ministers of the Ninth Theater was that the 4th Army, the 58th Army, and the 20th Army could entangle with the enemy on the front line of the Xinqiang River for a period of time, so as to buy enough time for the mobilization of other troops.
However, the actual situation is that everyone feels a little caught off guard, the plan can't catch up with the changes, the new wall river defense line was broken through in a very short time, and it also disrupted all the plans, so that all departments of the national army fell into extreme passivity, originally according to the plan, like the 74th Army, which needs to stay in northern Jiangxi to control the situation in northern Jiangxi, is to participate in the war under the worst situation, but at about noon on the 18th, the order of the theater command has been transmitted to the front of Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 74th Army, Faced with the situation in Xiangbei that suddenly became grim, Chief Xue could only use the last trump card of the 74th Army!
Although Wang Yaowu did not expect to rush to Xiangbei to participate in the war so early, his troops are easy to say, the key is the sharpest card in his hand - the independent regiment, at this moment is still in a very embarrassing situation, although the strength of the independent regiment has not weakened, but the regiment commander Shi is still in the investigation of the military commander, he has long known that the stone himself locked himself in the small courtyard, for his henchmen to love this way, Wang Yaowu is also very agreeable. Think about it from another angle, if he is inexplicably investigated after making countless achievements, I am afraid that he will be even more angry. In such a situation, how much combat power can the independent regiment retain? Wang Yaowu couldn't help but feel a headache, for this reason, after thinking about it, he also personally went to the headquarters of the telegraph military command to inquire when the case of Shi Yi would be completed!
Subsequently, another order came from the theater command, ordering the 74th Army to rush to the area of Chunhua Mountain before dark on the 23rd to garrison the commanding heights outside Changsha. Wang Yaowu couldn't help but sigh after receiving the order, obviously the battle situation on the front line was far worse than imagined, otherwise Shangfeng's order would not be so urgent. Shanggao is at least 400 miles away from Changsha, and they still have 5 days to fight, which is really a very difficult thing for a 30,000-strong army. However, the military order was like a mountain, and the official position was as big as Wang Yaowu's level, so he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and he did not have time to assemble troops and immediately ordered the 57th Division to set off immediately, and ordered Yu Chengwan to move lightly and strive to rush to Changsha in the shortest possible time.
Through the battle of Shanggao, Wang Yaowu obviously knew in his heart that the combat effectiveness of the 51st Division without the 302nd Regiment was far inferior to that of the 57th Division, and when Liao Lingqi's relationship with him was not very friendly, it was obviously impossible to let the 57th Division take the lead and take the lead as the main force. However, for the 58th Division, Wang Yaowu could not let it go, and he immediately ordered the 58th Division to set off in two hours, following closely behind the 57th Division. At the end, the 51st Division and the units directly under the military headquarters slowly advanced with a large amount of grain and grass, which naturally included the independent regiment.
When the news reached Yifeng, the entire Yifeng was mixed together, and the independent regiment was about to rush to the front line to participate in the battle, but the regiment commander still did not convene a meeting to make arrangements. Acting regiment commander Lin Xiufeng reacted after a long time, it seemed that he was going to hold a meeting to convey Shangfeng's combat intentions, the direction and goal of the march, but when he called the 7 battalion commanders for a meeting, no one came for a long time, and only after asking did he know that everyone rushed to the small courtyard behind, and even the chief of staff Wu Zihuai also went to the stone, this kind of scene immediately made him lose face and turn blue.
"Tuanzao, do you command this battle, give me a word!" The tall sledgehammer stood there, soaked with sweat all over his body, and his military uniform was attached to his body, revealing a burly body like steel and iron bones.
Shi lay calmly on the recliner without saying a word, but Shen Qingyun, the head of the military commander Changsha Station on the side, said with a sneer: "Commander Shi is still investigating, I'm afraid this battle is inconvenient to command." ”
The tall sledgehammer suddenly strode over, grabbed Shen Qingyun's chest, and lifted Shen Qingyun up with a light mention, this colonel stationmaster who seemed to be very calm at all times, but at this time, his face changed, looking at the murderous face of the tall sledgehammer, looking at his tower-like body, I couldn't help but feel a trace of cowardice from the bottom of my heart for the first time.
"Do you want Lao Tzu's brother to die in vain?" The tall sledgehammer said word by word, and his voice was cold to the bone.
