Chapter 381: Ordered to Adjust Defense

With regard to Huang Wei's question about guiding "infantry and tank coordinated operations," Wang Haitao did not want to hide his personal interests, but he had even sent out combat vehicles and tanks, so what else could not be taught about these tactics? Besides, Huang Wei and the others had learned it, wouldn't they be able to better deal with small Japan? However, guiding this "infantry and tank coordinated operations" was not a matter of one or two sentences, nor could it be accomplished in one or two days, and he still had a lot of things to do in Longzhou, so how could he have time to stay here longer.

Wang Haitao thought for a moment and replied: "Commander Huang, this 'Butan Coordinated Operation' is not something that can be said clearly in one or two days. In this way, the soldiers of these guard regiments under my command have been trained in this area and have also applied it in actual combat, I will choose an elite company to stay with you, just so that I can guide your subordinates in the use of these German weapons and this 'infantry and tan cooperative combat', what do you think, Commander Huang?"

Huang Wei couldn't ask for this, he was worried that these soldiers under his command would not be able to fiddle with these tanks and tanks, and if they gave themselves advanced weapons, but they could not fiddle well, it would be a shame. So Huang Wei said happily: "That's great! Don't hide it from Commander Wang, I'm worried that these people under me won't be able to fiddle with these chariots and tanks." In this way, I thanked Commander Wang. ”

After two days of settlement, Huang Wei also signed the handover document. Wang Haitao also selected a guard company, which was basically a company of people who had participated in the defense of Nanjing, and had not only studied the "infantry and tan coordinated operations" but also used them in actual combat. And whether they are armored vehicles or tank vehicles, they can operate skillfully, and all of them are all-rounders.

After the handover, Wang Haitao handed over the guard company to Huang Wei, and then prepared to leave Hengyang. At this time, Mao Renfeng suddenly found Wang Haitao and talked about transferring the Military and Political Office of the 90th Army that was still in Yueyang to Longxian. For the military administration office of the 90th Army, to be honest, Wang Haitao didn't pay much attention to it, although he knew that this was the person who was already planted by the military commander, but first, he didn't do anything to carry Lao Jiang, and secondly, he also knew that he was such an armed force, if Lao Jiang didn't arrange some people to come in, he would definitely not be at ease, even if he refused, the military commander would still send someone in secret. Rather than letting the military commander secretly arrange manpower, it is better to put them in the open.

Thinking of this, Wang Haitao said to Mao Renfeng: "Stationmaster Mao, I understand what you mean, I am a party-state soldier, and soldiers naturally regard obedience to orders as their duty. Shangfeng arranged it like this, and I, Wang Haitao, had nothing to say, but I also asked Stationmaster Mao to tell Boss Dai that when these people came to me, I would not interfere with any of their actions, but I also asked them not to make trouble for nothing, let alone interfere with my military operations, otherwise I would not be polite. ”

The reason why Wang Haitao dared to say such a thing to Dai Li was that he was confident, first, his troops did not rely on Lao Jiang to send a single shot or bullet, nor did they ask Lao Jiang for a penny of military expenses, and they were completely self-sufficient. Second, he has a way to get foreign aid and arms, and Lao Jiang Chong also has to be a little polite to himself, and third, his subordinates are all old people who have followed him for many years, and they can be completely trusted.

Mao Renfeng saw that Wang Haitao was very happy and agreed, and he was also very happy, swallowed back all the words that he was going to persuade, and repeatedly promised that the Military Administration Department was only responsible for party affairs and would never interfere with Wang Haitao's military operations, and then promised to bring Wang Haitao's words to Boss Dai, so he left. Wang Haitao waited in Hengyang for two more days, and after these people from the Military and Political Office of the 90th Army came to Hengyang to meet him, he said goodbye to Huang Wei and others, and left Hengyang with his subordinates to return to Longzhou County.

A few days after Wang Haitao returned to Longzhou, a telegram from the Chongqing General Headquarters was sent from the confidential room, saying that the 91st and 92nd Divisions had set up the 90th Army and set up a separate 45th Army, with Guo Rudong as its commander. The 45th Army Su belonged to General Chen Cheng's Wuhan Weirong Command. The 90th Army has four divisions, the 90th Division, the 93rd Division, the 210th Division, and the 211th Division, as well as an artillery brigade and an armored brigade. After the 90th Army finished resting, it was stationed in the Hezhou and Wuzhou areas between Guangxi and Guangzhou.

Wang Haitao looked at the map according to the telegram, and somewhat understood Lao Chiang's thoughts, Lao Chiang was a little dissatisfied with the Japanese army's capture of Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta region, and thought that he could defeat the three divisions of the Japanese army in the Guangzhou area, so as to recapture Guangzhou, so as to open up the road for foreign aid, so that he could get reinforcement. Wang Haitao was sure of defeating the three divisions of the Japanese army in the Guangzhou area, but it was not so easy to recapture Guangzhou City, which was defended with the help of Japanese warships, and even if the port of Guangzhou could be recaptured, how could China, without a navy, ensure the smooth flow of shipping routes?

However, since the General Headquarters has issued this order, it has no choice but to do so, and even if it does not attack Guangzhou City, it would be good to strike at Little Japan in the Guangzhou area, so as to save Little Japan from running around and threatening not only Hunan, but also Guangxi. Thinking of this, Wang Haitao asked the confidential room to call Chongqing back, telling the 90th Army of the General Headquarters to obey the order, and after the rest and recuperation, the whole army set off for the front line of Hezhou and Wuzhou.

Through the battle report and other channels, Wang Haitao knew that although the battle situation in Wuhan was not good at this time, it had not yet reached a critical moment, and the 106th Division of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army had basically been exhausted, and now only the 5th Division, the 18th Division, the 101st Division, and the 27th Division, were making contributions to Wuhan.

The 5th Division and the 101st Division both lost more than half of their lives, and after capturing Guangji, they rested on the spot and refused to attack westward, while the 27th and 18th Divisions were on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and it was also very difficult to attack the Shogunate Mountain defense line of the Nationalist Army. Although the Nationalist Army withdrew the main force of the Central Army to rest, there were still hundreds of thousands of other local troops, including the Gui Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Northwest Army, which were capable of fighting tough battles.

And the four divisions of the Second Army in Dabie Mountain want to break through the Chinese army of more than 100,000 people, and it is not easy to pass through Dabie Mountain, not to mention that there is Luo Zhuoying in Dabie Mountain in unified dispatch and command. In Wang Haitao's view, as long as Dabie Mountain was not broken through and the Tianjiazhen fortress on the Yangtze River was still there, the Japanese army would not want to approach Wuhan City. However, the key is to see how long the fortress of Tianjiazhen can be defended.

Since the Chongqing General Headquarters had already issued an order, Wang Haitao naturally had to do it. After greeting General Xia Wei, chief of the general staff on the Guangxi side, Wang Haitao ordered the 90th Division to be stationed in Wuzhou City, the 93rd Division and the 210th Division to be stationed in Hezhou City, and the military headquarters of the 90th Army and the troops directly under it to be stationed in Baozhou with the 90th Division.

As soon as Wang Haitao gave the order, his subordinates began to take action, and more than 60,000 people from three divisions and four brigades directly under him, plus artillery, combat vehicles, and logistics and baggage departments, all left Longzhou County in three days. It is still Tang Renli who remains in Longzhou County and is in charge of everything. Tang Longzai's 211th Division was not yet trained in place, and staying in Longzhou was not only to continue training, but also to guard the county seat of Longzhou at the same time.

The troops passed by the side of Nanning City, did not stop, and continued eastward, heading straight for Wuzhou. When passing through Nanning City, Wang Haitao, Su Zuxin, Zhao Zhongwu, and Tang Renxin went to visit Xia Wei and other military and political dignitaries in Guangxi, and made it clear that there was an order from Chongqing, and he was just acting on orders, and Wang Haitao clicked on Xia Wei, and Xia Wei immediately understood the intention of Chongqing to mobilize Wang Haitao's 90th Army.

Although Wang Haitao's ministry was still on the border of Guangxi, the target was not the Guangxi government, so Xia Wei and others also put down their worries and negotiated peace with Wang Haitao, and at the same time ordered Wuzhou and Hezhou to cooperate with the local forces to enter the 90th Army. Wang Haitao thanked Xia Wei for his support before leaving.

When the troops arrived in Wuzhou, the local authorities did not embarrass Wang Haitao and them, but cooperated with many parties. Wang Haitao is also wealthy, and he made it clear at that time that all military expenses are purchased with cash, and there is no embarrassment. The daily consumption of tens of thousands of people is not a small number, and these government officials in Baozhou City are worried that they can't afford it, and they are relieved when they hear Wang Haitao say this.

The military headquarters of the 90th Army, the 90th Division, the heavy artillery brigade, and the armored brigade were all stationed in Wuzhou City, the guard brigade left two regiments, the reconnaissance brigade left one regiment, and the other units continued to advance towards Hezhou City. Tang Shanbao, the commander of the guard brigade, stayed in Wuzhou, and Tang Xiaoshan, the commander of the reconnaissance brigade, went to Hezhou.

Before Tang Xiaoshan left, Wang Haitao gave Tang Xiaoshan an order: First, the reconnaissance brigade should quickly find out the troop disposition of the Japanese army in Guangdong and the possible military action; second, it should grasp the situation of the road from Hezhou and Wuzhou to Guangzhou. Third, it is necessary to find out the situation of the remaining troops of the Cantonese Army and where they are stationed. Tang Xiaoshan first gave a task to the reconnaissance group that remained in Wuzhou, and then took the other two reconnaissance groups to Hezhou.

After Wang Haitao had stationed his troops in Hezhou, he asked the confidential room to send a telegram to the Chongqing General Headquarters, informing them that the three divisions and two brigades directly under the 90 th Army of the Chongqing General Headquarters had arrived at the line from Hezhou to Wuzhou and were waiting for the next order from the General Headquarters. Soon Chongqing called back, first praising the 90th Army for its quick action, and then asking the 90th Army to stand by.

Wang Haitao received a telegram to keep his troops on alert, and then waited in Wuzhou for Chongqing's next order. Wang Haitao waited in Wuzhou for more than half a month, not waiting for Chongqing's next order, but waiting for the news of the loss of the Tianjiazhen fortress. It turned out that after the Japanese Fifth Division and the 101st Division were replenished in Guangji, under the strict orders of Okamura Ningji, they had to muster up their spirits and launch an attack on Yuping Mountain north of Tianjia Town.

In the face of the onslaught of the two divisions of the Japanese army that had just been rested, the two armies guarding the Yuping Mountain only held out for two days and fought almost hard, and had no choice but to withdraw from the Yuping Mountain position. As soon as Yuping Mountain was lost, the fortress of Youjiazhen lost its barrier, and it was also lost three days later under the joint attack of two divisions of the Japanese army and warships on the river.
