Chapter 196: Defeat the Thirty-Sixth Division

On the evening of the 19th, when Weng Zhaoyuan launched a mutiny in Quanzhou. Jin Zhao led the troops to the Putian front overnight. In the past two days, there has been a lot of war outside Putian.

In order to cover the southward retreat of the main force of the Nineteenth Route Army, Zhang Yan's main force of the Fourth Army was left behind. Ten kilometers north of Putian, Song Xilian's division of the 36th Division of the Central Army, which was in hot pursuit, caught up with the Fourth Army, and then fierce fighting broke out between the two sides. On the first day of fighting, the 36th Division's offensive suffered a serious setback, and Wang Zuolin, commander of the 216th Regiment of the 36th Division, was killed by a bullet. Then Song Xilian led the main force to arrive, and the two sides fought a bloody battle in Putian for three days, and the soldiers of the Fourth Army resisted step by step, causing great casualties to the 36th Division. However, after all, the 36th Division is the elite of the Central Army, and it is a reorganization of the supplementary brigades of the 87th and 88th Divisions. In just three days of fighting, the Fourth Army lost more than half of its more than 10,000 people, and Putian City was even more precarious.

"Our senior Song played well!" Jin Zhao said with a cigarette in his mouth and looking at the map on the wall. Staff officers were coming in and out, busy arranging the headquarters. Jin Zhao had just arrived, and the headquarters had not yet been arranged.

Xie Jinyuan said with a smile, "If we don't come, it won't take more than a day for the Fourth Army to collapse on all fronts!" Senior Song really deserves his reputation! ”

Zhang Junsong always frowned and looked at the map on the wall, then suddenly interjected, "Wei Lihuang's main force is gathering south, if we can't defeat the 36th Division in two days, then we will be in big trouble." ”

Jin Zhao said with a smile, "Not for two days? It only takes one day for us to defeat the 36th Division. ”

Zhang Junsong glanced at Jin Zhao in surprise, and secretly said in his heart that this kid is too arrogant! After just two victories, I thought I was invincible in the world! Of course, you can't say this, "Meng Bo! Our troops have just gone through a big battle, and before they have time to rest, after another night of rapid marching! Now the troops are very tired! Zhang Junsong said very tactfully, just to remind Jin Zhao not to underestimate the enemy.

Jin Zhao nodded and said, "Of course I know this, but the 36th Division has also been fighting for three days and three nights, and they are even more tired if they are tired!" Moreover, when the officers and men of the 36th Division saw that our reinforcements had arrived, their morale would definitely be affected, and now was a good opportunity to defeat the 36th Division in one fell swoop. ”

"Senior Song is very cautious, and when he sees us coming, he immediately shrinks the defense line! Make a defensive stance! I'm afraid he won't give us this chance! Xie Jinyuan also said with a worried face.

Jin Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Yue! Brother Zhongmin! Don't worry, I still have a secret weapon in my hand that I haven't used? You'll see! At Jin Zhao's repeated insistence, Xie Jinyuan and Zhang Junsong launched an attack on the position of the 36th Division at 2 p.m. on the same day, that is, at 2 p.m. on January 20.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, at the front of the position. Xie Jinyuan and Zhang Junsong finally saw the secret weapon that Jin Zhao said, Zhang Junsong opened his mouth in surprise and pointed to the dozens of tanks at the front of the position and said, "Meng Bo, where did you get so many tanks?" ”

Jin Zhao said with a smile, "This is also bought by overseas Chinese donations, but unfortunately there are only thirty-two!" ”

"Only thirty-two? With these thirty-two Iron King Eight, let alone the thirty-sixth division, even the eighty-seventh division can't stop it! Zhang Junsong shouted. Although he had some doubts about Jin Zhao's explanation, Zhang Junsong had to believe the real thing in front of him. What's more, the most important thing now is to defeat Song Xilian's 36th Division, and other things can be talked about slowly in the future.

"So what are we waiting for? Attack now! Xie Jinyuan said excitedly. Xie Jinyuan had participated in the Battle of Songhu and knew the power of the little devil tank, and these tanks in front of him looked much more majestic than the little devil Douding tank, and the power was definitely greater, and now Xie Jinyuan was a little eager to see the power of these tanks.

Jin Zhao patted the barrel of a tank and said with a smile, "Don't worry! Wait! The artillery positions are not ready yet! And we still have a strong reinforcement that hasn't arrived? Let me first introduce you to this tank, this is the latest T26 tank light tank developed by the Russians, equipped with a 45mm tank gun and two 7.62mm machine guns! ”

"Tanks of the Russians?" Zhang Junsong couldn't help frowning, and began to wonder if this Jin Zhao had anything to do with the Red Party! How else would you be able to get the tanks of the Russians!

Jin Zhao saw the doubts in Zhang Junsong's heart, and said with a smile, "Hehe! Brother Yue! These Russians are also human beings, and they also love money! As long as we have enough money and find the right people, not to mention tanks, we can buy even warships! ”

Hearing Jin Zhao say this, Xie Jinyuan and Zhang Junsong smiled knowingly. Zhang Junsong also figured it out, this Jin Zhao can't have anything to do with the Red Party, because it's very simple, even the Red Party can't get the tanks of the Soviet Russians, if Jin Zhao is a Red Party, how can he get the tanks and not give them to the Red Army, thinking of this, Zhang Junsong is also relieved, Zhang Junsong is very disgusted with the Red Party, the People's Liberation Army has fought the Yangtze River in history, and Lao Jiang has gone to Taiwan. Zhang Junsong's men instigated an uprising, but Zhang Junsong repeatedly stopped him, and was finally killed by the rebel troops! It can be seen that Zhang Junsong is resolutely anti-red.

The three of them chatted for a while, and when it was half past one in the afternoon, Jin Zhao looked at his watch and said, "Okay!" Let's go! Artillery fire ready! ”

With Jin Zhao's order, hundreds of cannons rang out outside Putian City. Hundreds of artillery pieces of various types began to bombard the positions of the 36th Division. The 36th Division had always been on the offensive before, and had not built any decent defensive positions at all, although Jin Zhao gave them half a day, but how could the hastily built fortifications be able to block such a high-intensity artillery attack!

At one o'clock and four o'clock, a buzzing motor roar suddenly came from the northeast, and more than 30 planes suddenly flew over Putian. The soldiers of the People's Army, thinking that the planes of the Central Army had arrived, sounded the air defense siren one after another. However, these planes flew directly to the position of the 36th Division, and then one after another swarthy bombs accurately landed on the position of the 36th Division.

Looking at the position of the 36th Division that was caught in a sea of fire, Zhang Junsong shook his head and said, "This time Song Xilian is going to be unlucky, these planes are also donated by overseas Chinese, these overseas Chinese you know are really rich!" ”

Jin Zhao nodded and admitted, "No way, who let Xu Wenqiang's kid have money in his family?" I heard that their family alone donated 30 planes! Jin Zhao said nonsense.

Xie Jinyuan shook his head and said, "The Air Force is not like anything else, it needs an airfield!" Where was your airfield built? Xie Jinyuan really couldn't imagine that Jin Zhao still had an air force in his hands, but in the territory of the five counties of Xianyou, Jin Zhao had not built any airfield at all, so Xie Jinyuan asked like this.

Jin Zhao said with a smile, "I can't help it!" You want to! If I let the headmaster know that I have such an air force in my hands, what do you think he will do! Needless to say, it must be transferred to suppress bandits! So I built this airfield in a relatively safe place, and this place is Wuyi Mountain! ”

"Wuyi Mountain?" Xie Jinyuan thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the gang of bandits in Wuyi Mountain were also raised by you?" ”

Jin Zhao shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not!" I don't want to be a bandit! When I first heard about the bandits in Wuyi Mountain, I felt a little strange! Why do you say they are under the banner of Liangshanbo! And what's funny is that the bandit leader also claims to be Liangshan Song Jiang? Don't you see something from that? ”

The two shook their heads blankly, now there are bandits all over the country, and these bandits like to have some nicknames, which is not unusual!

Jin Zhao said with a smile, "You should all have seen the Water Margin!" What is the ending in the Water Margin, Song Jiang finally accepted Zhao'an and took refuge in the imperial court! I just thought! Since this guy calls himself Song Jiang, he must have thought about accepting the political axe's co-optation a long time ago! So I secretly gave them to Zhao'an in the name of Junzuo (Cai Tingkai)! In order to control these guys, I kept mixing sand into Wuyi Mountain, and finally firmly mastered this bandit. But I didn't let them make the news of the incorporation public, but let them continue to stay in Wuyi Mountain as bandits! ”

"So you expected today's events? So this bandit was hidden in Wuyi Mountain as a strange soldier! Xie Jinyuan said in surprise.

"Brother Zhongmin! I don't have the skills of a prophet! Jin Zhao said with a smile, "Whose territory is Wuyi Mountain!" It is Liu Heding's territory, and it is next to Zhou Zhiqun's territory in the south! I asked them to stay in Wuyi Mountain, originally to deal with these two guys in the future! ”

After hearing this, the two nodded, the Nineteenth Route Army had long wanted to clean up Liu Heding and Zhou Zhiqun, but they never had a chance, so Jin Zhao's explanation was reasonable.

Jin Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, my mother! I admire myself a little! I knew that I should have written a novel in my last life!

Xie Jinyuan asked dissatisfiedly, "Meng Bo! How many ulterior secrets do you kid have, don't you get it from the truth! ”

Jin Zhao raised his hand and said with a serious face, "I swear!" Absolutely nothing else, my secrets have been hollowed out by you! In fact, as early as yesterday morning, our plane attacked Jian'ou and Fuzhou airports, and the principal's air force in Fujian has already been served by us! There is also the gang of bandits in Wuyi Mountain who have cut off the logistics supply line of the Central Army! Now unless it is transported by sea, the Central Army will not want to transport a single shot or bullet into Fujian on land! In addition, the gang of bandits has captured Jianyang, Jian'ou, Pucheng, Shaowu and other places! (To be continued.) )
