Friends, I don't know if there was a problem with the prince's computer yesterday, or if there was a problem with the website, first I couldn't upload the chapter, and then I uploaded the same chapter twice, causing the loss of all friends. Here, the prince expresses his deep humility to all of you. In order to make up for the loss, the prince added a non-VIP chapter today. Once again, the prince bows to his friends!

After the loss of Jiujiang, Li Pinxian Jiujiang's troops retreated, and Liao Lei's 48th Army, which held Susong and Huangmei, also withdrew from its position, turned its head to Dabie Mountain, and joined Wei Yunsong's 31st Army, hiding on the side of Dabie Mountain, ready to teach the Japanese army a lesson. When the Japanese army was advancing from Susong to Huangmei County, Liao Lei and Wei Yunsong, who had been waiting for a long time, were killed from the Dabie Mountains.

The 101st Division of the Japanese Army is still resting in Susong County, and is also waiting for a new division commander to take office, and only the 5th Division lived in Huangmei County. As soon as Liao Lei's troops came out, they angered the division commander of the Japanese Fifth Division, Lieutenant General Angelito, and Angeliton immediately ordered the troops to counterattack. Liao Lei and Wei Yunsong's subordinates did not fight hard with the Japanese army, they fought for a while, and all of them withdrew to the Dabie Mountains after taking advantage of it.

The Fifth Division of the Japanese Army relentlessly pursued Liao Lei and Wei Yun into Dabie Mountain. In the national army, when it comes to mountain warfare, I am afraid that no unit can compete with the Gui army, let alone small Japan. The little Japanese infantry walked on two small short legs, where did they run past the Gui soldiers who were walking on flat ground in the mountains? The Gui army ran for a while and used the ground to make a blockade, but before the little Japanese could catch their breath, they encountered a blockade, and as soon as they opened the frame and wanted to fight, the Gui army withdrew again, and the angry Japanese commander shouted, "Baga!"

However, the two divisions of Liao Lei and Wei Yunsong are really not opponents of the Japanese army if they want to fight the Japanese army. The Japanese army attacked seriously for a while, and Liao Lei and Wei Yunsong's troops could only retreat into the depths of Dabie Mountain. After the Fifth Division continued to capture Huangmei County, it advanced to Guangji, but their logistical supply lines were frequently attacked by Liao Lei and Wei Yunsong's troops. It was not until Okamura Ninji had no choice but to re-establish a supply port in Koike Town, opposite Jiujiang City, that the situation of the Fifth Division improved.

After the 5th Division captured Guangji, it said that it would not continue the offensive at all, and the serious attrition of the soldiers and the difficulties of the wounded and sick gave the 5th Division every reason to stop. After the Japanese army on the south bank of the Yangtze River captured Jiujiang City with two and a half divisions, its troops were divided into three routes, and the 27th Division, under the cover of the Yangtze River Fleet, continued to attack westward along the south bank of the Yangtze River.

The 18th Division launched an attack on the Jinguanqiao position. Only the 106th Division launched an attack south along the narrow section between Lushan and Poyang Lake. Wang Haitao knew about the actions of the Japanese army, but he didn't pay much attention to it. The so-called not in his position, not in his politics. He has already left the Jiujiang battlefield, so naturally he will not point fingers again.

Wang Haitao was in Yueyang City to grasp the training of his troops, and suddenly a rumor reached Wang Haitao's ears, and it is said that some high-ranking generals of the Nationalist army secretly reported in the ear of Lao Jiang that Wang Haitao was suspected of collaborating with the Communist Party, and secretly provided firearms and supplies to the Communist Party on many occasions. You must know that the Communist Party is Lao Jiang's reverse scale, and whoever touches this reverse scale, Lao Jiang will not let him go.

After Wang Haitao heard about this, he thought about it for a long time and decided to meet Lao Jiang in person. So Wang Haitao came to Wuhan again and asked to see Lao Jiang, who was still supervising the war in Wuhan. After seeing Lao Jiang's face, Wang Haitao directly explained his intentions, resigned from the post of commander of the 90th Group Army, and returned to his hometown in Longzhou to visit relatives. Wang Haitao decisively gave up the post of commander of the 90th Group Army, which surprised Lao Jiang and fell silent at that time.

Seeing this scene, Wang Haitao understood that Lao Jiang was already suspicious of his collusion, but there was no solid evidence, so it was not good to take any action, after all, his own credit was there. So Wang Haitao asked for his resignation again. Seeing that Wang Haitao was sincere in resigning from the post of commander of the 90 th Group Army, Lao Jiang went down the slope and, after encouraging Wang Haitao, agreed to Wang Haitao's resignation as commander of the 90 th Group Army, but still retained the post of commander of the 90 th Army. For the time being, Chen Cheng personally served as the commander of the 90 th Group Army. and agreed to Wang Haitao's request to return to Guangxi to visit relatives.

After saying goodbye to Lao Jiang, Wang Haitao went to see Chen Cheng again. Chen Cheng was relatively upright among the Kuomintang officers, and could be said to be a relatively pure soldier, who did not intervene much in political struggles in peacetime. After learning that Wang Haitao had resigned from the post of commander of the 90th Group Army, Chen Cheng felt very sorry for Wang Haitao, and strongly retained Wang Haitao, and even wanted to intercede for Wang Haitao to go to Lao Jiang.

In Chen Cheng's view, the Sino-Japanese war was in full swing, and it was the time to employ people, so how could a general like Wang Haitao, who had terrified the Japanese army, not go to the front line? As for the theory of collusion with the Communist Party, it was completely chasing after the wind and shadows, and it was just that some people were jealous of the virtuous and capable and spread rumors to make trouble. Wang Haitao was grateful for Chen Cheng's care and maintenance, but Wang Haitao still stopped General Chen Cheng.

Wang Haitao said to General Chen Cheng: "Sir, there is no need to argue for me in front of the chairman. After more than two years of fighting, I am also physically and mentally exhausted, and it is also a good thing to be able to go back to my hometown to rest for a while. Besides, Little Japan has not been able to fight until now, and after the capture of Wuhan, it is difficult to have much more offensive. So there's nothing wrong with me getting out of here at this point. Moreover, I still have two divisions in Guangxi, and I am also the commander of the 90th Army, so I will deal with the little Japan in Guangdong when I have the opportunity. ”

When Chen Cheng heard Wang Haitao say this, he was also a little relieved. Wang Haitao asked: "So, in the opinion of Brother Haitao, will the Japanese army attack until Wuhan?" Wang Haitao replied: "Chief Chen, the Japanese army's desire to destroy China will not die, even if it captures Wuhan, it will not be satisfied, but Japan's national strength is limited, and if it wants to attack again, it may not have the ability to attack with much strength." As for the form of anti-Japanese resistance, Lao Mao wrote a book "On Protracted War", and he was fortunate to read it and was deeply touched. The chief may wish to read it too, and in his heart, at the strategic level, the chairman of the committee is inferior to the old Mao of the CCP. ”

As soon as Wang Haitao said this, Chen Cheng shouted with a face: "Shut up, what is your identity, and the leader is also something you can discuss?" Wang Haitao really didn't take Chen Cheng's reprimand. It wasn't until Chen Cheng said: "They said that you were in the Communist Party, I always thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that this matter is still true!"

Wang Haitao said frankly in the face of Chen Cheng: "Sir, now that the chairman of the committee is calling on the whole people to resist the war, isn't the CPC also Chinese? Isn't the reason why I have gone bankrupt to form an army is that the country will not be bullied and the nation can become strong? Everything I do is aimed at this, and everything I do is with a clear conscience!"

Faced with Wang Haitao's answer, Chen Cheng was speechless. Yes, this Wang Haitao in front of him is different from other generals, he has raised an army by himself, and he is still one of the best in combat effectiveness. This army did not ask for a penny of military expenses, and it also repeatedly provided weapons and equipment to other troops. In the face of such a person, what right do you have to accuse him? Thinking of this, Chen Cheng's face softened.

Wang Haitao also wisely stopped here and turned the topic to the handover of the 90th Group Army. In fact, among Yueyang's troops, the most capable of fighting are the 91st Division and the 92nd Division under the name of the 90th Army, these two divisions must have been built by Wang Haitao since the defense of Nanjing, and more than half of the new German-style equipment of the whole division was equipped. If Wang Haitao pulls these two divisions away, then the 90th Group Army will be completely empty.

After the consultations, Wang Haitao still held the post of deputy commander of the 90 th Group Army, and the 91 st and 92 nd Divisions in Wuhan, as the two divisions of the 90 th Army, were still retained in the 90 th Group Army, and all the logistical materials, ammunition, and other items placed in Yueyang were transferred to these two divisions. After Wang Haitao promised that he would continue to provide ammunition and materials for these two divisions, Chen Cheng let Wang Haitao go.

After the handover between Yueyang Wang Haitao and Chen Cheng was officially completed, Chen Cheng and the commanders of the 90th Group Army came to see Wang Haitao off. In fact, the 91st Division and the 92nd Division both wanted to go back to Guangxi with Wang Haitao, but Wang Haitao was good at talking, which allowed the two divisions to stay in Yueyang.

On this day, Wang Haitao left Yueyang with the guard regiment and reconnaissance regiment, and returned to Longzhou, Guangxi, Chen Cheng, Cheng Guangyao, Guo Rudong, He Zhizhong, Yang Jie and others sent Wang Haitao out of the city, and then said goodbye to Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao also has a reluctant feeling for these comrades-in-arms and subordinates who have been born and died together. Wang Haitao knows very well that he doesn't know when he will see each other again today.

From Yueyang through Changsha, Hengyang, Yongzhou can enter Guilin in Guangxi, and then from Guilin to Longzhou through Nanning. On the way, it is not close, and it is not far away. Fortunately, they are all big roads, and Wang Haitao and they are using trucks to rush the road, so the speed is not slow. In total, it only took five days to enter Guangxi Province from Hunan Province.

Along the way, Wang Haitao saw that the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the whole people was high, whether it was a big city or a small township were full of anti-Japanese slogans, Wang Haitao They had the smell of gunpowder smoke on their bodies, and the army with bullet marks on the car looked like they had just withdrawn from the front line, and they received the highest courtesy, whether it was food or accommodation, the bosses refused to accept money, but made Wang Haitao uneasy.

The checkpoints and garrisons along the way interrogated Wang Haitao's troops, but as soon as they heard that it was the team of the 90th Army, their eyes became hot when they looked at them. From the Battle of Shanghai all the way to the present, the achievements of the 90 th Army have not been publicized by the National Government, and now even the common people among the Chinese know that there is an ace army that has won a hundred battles and killed countless small Japans, the 90 th Army, not to mention the army? Fortunately, these soldiers do not know that Wang Haitao, the commander of the 90 th Army, is in the ranks, otherwise Wang Haitao and their road will not be easy.
