Chapter 455: Departure for Changsha
After Wang Haitao set off from Chongqing with the guard company, he traveled through thick and thin along the way, in order to rush back to Longzhou one day earlier. Fortunately, they are always in a hurry by vehicle, and rarely walk. In order not to be disturbed by the mountain bandits, not long after leaving Chongqing, Wang Haitao took out two light armored vehicles from the storage ring, one after the other, and pressed the formation. With this big killer, the mountain bandits really didn't dare to come forward. In this way, Wang Haitao and the others also took six days to rush back to Longzhou County.
As soon as he entered the boundary of Longzhou County, Wang Haitao obviously felt that something was different, and now the defense of Longzhou County was much stronger than when he left, and from a place 30 kilometers away from Longzhou County, there was a sentry post set up by the 93rd Division, and after walking a few kilometers, Wang Haitao also saw the fortifications being built. Longzhou County was able to take the initiative to defend in such a short period of time, which made Wang Haitao very satisfied.
After entering Longcheng, Wang Haitao went directly to the military headquarters, and Su Zuxin, Tang Renli, Zhao Zhongwu, Li Yuanhong, Wei Hai and others were already in the conference room of the military headquarters. Entering the conference room, everyone greeted Wang Haitao one after another, and Wang Haitao asked everyone to sit down after greeting them one by one. First of all, Wang Haitao praised the 93rd Division for taking the initiative to strengthen the defense of Longzhou City in a short period of time.
Wang Haitao's praise made Li Yuanhong blush, their ninety-third division was able to do this, and it was a lot of criticism that Tang Renxin didn't leave a little affection. After praising the 93 rd Division, Wang Haitao asked Su Zuxin and Tang Renli how well the preparations for the departure from Longzhou City had been completed.
The Guard Brigade and the 210th Division have all completed preparations for departure, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Reconnaissance Brigade have set off with Tang Renxin, and the 3rd Regiment is also ready to go. This time, the logistics department even took out 80 percent of the vehicles, which was not only a field hospital ready to leave at any time, but also a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and military supplies were all loaded. This time, considering that the communication line between Longzhou and Changsha was very likely to be cut off by the Japanese army, Tang Renli also brought as many things as possible.
Seeing that all aspects of Longzhou City were ready, Wang Haitao decided to set off early the day after tomorrow. During the day he stayed, Wang Haitao also wanted to go to the supplementary division, arsenal, and hospital to have a look, and also set aside a day to accompany Tang Lao and Feng Gu, as well as his son Maotou, who had no time to take care of. Thinking that he was so busy that he hadn't even taken care of his son's name, Wang Haitao felt very guilty in his heart.
Thinking of his family and son, Wang Haitao didn't have the heart to do anything else, so he hurriedly ended the meeting and rushed home. The family had already believed that Wang Haitao was back, and as soon as Wang Haitao entered the door, Tang Lao, Aunt Feng and the hairy head held by Aunt Feng were waiting for him in the living room. This time I went to Chongqing for a short time, and everyone was not as excited as last time, but because Wang Haitao came back, there was a lot of laughter at home.
Wang Haitao took out the gifts he brought back, Tang Lao was a few bottles of good wine, Feng Gu was a set of jewelry, and the hairy one was a delicate sterling silver longevity lock. Even a little nephew or niece who is about to be born has a longevity lock. There are also housekeepers in the house, Maotou's nurses have gifts, and the people who receive the gifts are very happy, even Maotou showed a smile to Wang Haitao, and Wang Haitao happily took over his son is a fierce kiss.
After a sumptuous dinner, the maid brought tea, and the family sat in the living room to talk, Tang Lao and Feng Gu knew that Wang Haitao was going to take the troops to Changsha the day after tomorrow, and the war with Little Japan was inevitable, and the danger was inevitable, Tang Lao and Feng Gu They could only let Wang Haitao pay more attention to safety and take care of himself. Tang Lao proposed to give Maotou a big name, and Wang Haitao also felt that it was time to do it.
Wang Haitao said to Tang Lao: "Father-in-law, Feng Gu, on our Wang family tree, the next generation of the Tao character generation should be the Shengzi generation, and Maotou was born in this war era, I think it will be called "Zhan Sheng"!" Tang Lao repeated the name "Zhan Sheng" in his mouth and said: "Okay, Mao Tou is called 'Wang Zhan Sheng'!"
Feng Gu also muttered to the hair in her arms with a loving face: "Daddy has given you a big name, from now on, you will be called Wang Zhansheng, Xiao Zhansheng, do you like this name?"
Listening to Aunt Feng's words, I remembered that after I married Aunt Feng, I had been fighting abroad all the year round, and I was separated from Aunt Feng and gathered less, but Aunt Feng never had a word of complaint, always waiting for herself silently behind her back, giving her silent support. I couldn't help but feel that I owed Aunt Feng a lot. Thinking of this, Wang Haitao said: "Aunt Feng, I have been fighting abroad all these years, and I have suffered you, I promise you, as long as I drive little Japan out of China, I will disarm and return to the field, guard my home and you, and we will stay together until we are old!"
Wang Haitao's words filled Aunt Feng's heart with sweetness, and Aunt Feng replied softly: "Brother Haitao, I will wait for you." Now you can love me so much!" Wang Haitao looked at Aunt Feng's blushing cheeks, couldn't hold it anymore, bent down to pick up Aunt Feng, and walked towards the big bed inside......
The next day, Wang Haitao went to the supplementary division first, and after watching their training, he said to Zhao Zhongwu: "The training of the supplementary division should be strengthened, and it should be required according to the standards of the main division." In this battle of Changsha, the task of the 90th Army is huge, and the losses may not be small, and it is hoped that the replenishment of the supplementary division will enable the main division to recover its combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Zhao Zhongwu agreed repeatedly.
Wang Haitao also told Wei Hai that during his departure from Longzhou, the supplementary division should cooperate with the 93rd Division to defend Longzhou City, and in case of any situation, the supplementary division must go up, otherwise the 93rd Division alone will be a little alone. Wei Haiying said: "Don't worry, our supplementary division has been trained for so long, and it is not without combat effectiveness, in case there is a situation, we will definitely cooperate with the 93rd Division to defend Longzhou, as long as there is still one person in the supplementary division, Longzhou City will be intact." Wei Hai's assurance made Wang Haitao nod with satisfaction.
After going to the supplementary division, Wang Haitao went to the 93rd Division for a turn, and then went to the arsenal. At the arsenal, Wang Haitao inquired about the current situation with the director of the Rolf factory, and learned that after the arrival of the batch of chemical raw materials, the explosives factory could start working at full capacity, and now the production of shells and bullets has returned to normal, but due to material limitations, the production of firearms is not optimistic.
Wang Haitao could only comfort the director of the Rolf factory, and told the director of the Rolf factory that he was about to lead the troops to live in Changsha to fight a large-scale campaign against the Japanese army, and that the arsenal should produce as many shells and bullets as possible, especially light and heavy machine gun bullets. After it is produced, it will be handed over to Tang Renli, who will arrange for use. During the period when he was not in Longzhou City, he was still the same as before, and he could find Tang Renli to deal with anything.
After going to the arsenal, Wang Haitao went straight to Longzhou Hospital non-stop, first visited the soldiers who were still seriously injured and could not be discharged, comforted them to recuperate from their injuries, and returned to the battlefield as soon as possible. After that, he talked to the two directors of the hospital, the big and small Frank, about the situation of Longzhou Hospital, and also told the two that when they were not in Longzhou, they could go to Tang Renli to solve big and small things.
After coming out of Longzhou Medicine, Wang Haitao arranged everything here in Longzhou. After returning to the military headquarters, Wang Haitao and Tang Renli came to the warehouse again, took out some of the gold and ocean in the storage ring and handed it to Tang Renli, and then filled the storage ring with military supplies and various ammunition that could be used in the warehouse. This has reduced the inventory in the warehouse a lot, and Tang Renli wants to replenish them, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.
Early the next morning, the third regiment and the first battalion of the reconnaissance brigade set off first, doing reconnaissance work in front of the team, Tang Hongming led the 210th Division to set off from the station, and finally Wang Haitao and the guard brigade set off from Longzhou City. Outside the north gate of Longzhou City, Wang Haitao said goodbye to Tang Renli, Zhao Zhongwu, Li Yuanhong, Wei Hai and others who came to see him off, as well as Tang Lao and Fenggu, before getting into a jeep and running towards Changsha City.
The route from Longzhou City to Changsha is the same as the last time I went to Hengyang, except that last time I only went to Hengyang, and this time I had to pass through Hengyang, and then go south through Zhuzhou City to Changsha City. The route was familiar, and they were all mechanized marches, and Wang Haitao and they advanced quickly. This time, Tang Renxin had only repaired the road when they passed by, so Wang Haitao and the others only took three days to reach Hengyang.
Originally, the 18th Army stationed in Hengyang and Zhuzhou City had been ordered to go to Changsha City, and now it is the 190th Division of the 10th Army stationed in Hengyang. Knowing that General Wang Haitao, commander of the 90th Army, led his troops through Hengyang, Zhu Yue, commander of the 190th Division, personally greeted him at the gate of the city and prepared to give Wang Haitao a banquet. The 10th Army was subordinate to the 27th Group Army, and the commander of the 10th Army, Fang Xianjue, was famous for defending Hengyang for 47 days in the Battle of Changheng, the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, and withstanding the onslaught of three divisions of the Japanese army with the strength of one army.
Wang Haitao still admires such a national hero as Fang Xianjue, although Fang Xianjue's Tenth Army has no such feats, but Wang Haitao still has a great impression of these anti-Japanese generals. On the grounds of the urgency of the military situation, Wang Haitao declined Zhu Yue's invitation, but still gave Zhu Yue dozens of mortars and 50 shells per cannon of the 190th Division.
Wang Haitao's behavior aroused Zhu Yue's considerable favor, and he must have been able to send dozens of mortars at once like Wang Haitao, which is unique among the generals of the national army. The key is that Wang Haitao is not asking for anything, but simply helping himself. As soon as he entered the periphery of Changsha, Wang Haitao saw that the officers and men of the 90 th Army were rushing to repair their defensive positions, and all kinds of fortifications were being built on the positions, and these positions maintained the consistent tradition of the 90 th Army, with solid fortifications, reasonable layout, and extremely high standards.
