Chapter 425: When the Eight Roads Are Poor
With the adjustment of troop movements, the Northeast Field Army was established overnight like a balloon, and Zhang Xueliang couldn't wait to lead the troops that had just arrived to advance to Tangshan.
Dongye was established, and the place of residence has not yet been like anything, so the commander-in-chief will not say anything, first set up the base in Tangshan, and then plot to march into the northeast.
Originally, Zhang Xueliang thought that the liberation of Tangshan would be the first battle in Dongye, but in order to fight this battle well, he held a meeting for several days with the three army commanders Li Yunlong, Dong Shangwu, and Guo Kaiming, as well as Wu Wenhua, Li Changshun, and Zhang Xingsheng, who were fighting in coordination, and formulated a perfect battle plan, specific to the division-level combat units.
Which division is responsible for attacking fortifications, which division is responsible for sending reinforcements, which division is responsible for strategic outflanking, the coordination of the four infantry and air artillery units, and how to protect important industrial facilities and infrastructure.
As a result, as soon as the Dongye troops made some moves, the reconnaissance planes of the 1st Air Combat Division attached to the army sent back the news that the Japanese Kurosawa Brigade stationed in Tangshan had abandoned Tangshan and retreated in the direction of Shanhaiguan.
Zhang Xueliang was stunned for a long time and didn't react.
The Japanese army retreated before it was fought?
When did the Japanese devils become so cowardly, and even learned to run away when they heard the news? Well?
Damn, the little devils have all run away, so why are you polite to them?
After Zhang Xueliang reported to Xie Tian, he immediately led his troops into Tangshan.
Even Xie Tian didn't expect the little devil in Tangshan to run, the Kurosawa Brigade currently stationed in Tangshan is already a battle sequence of the Japanese Kwantung Army, isn't the Kwantung Army quite good? How can you still run?
Umezu Mijiro, you old bastard, do you still want to be embarrassed?
Take out the courage of your Kwantung Army and run away without a fight, what's the matter with your mother?
Umezu Mijiro is the current commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese army, this old bastard is a general of the Japanese invasion of China who is older than the qualifications of Gangmura Ningji, he has served as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese garrison army since 1934, the commander of the Kwantung Army since 1939, and the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army in 1942.
For one day and one night, Li Yunlong led the leading troops to Tangshan, and when he saw the situation in Tangshan, Li Yunlong's eyes almost bleed.
Tangshan in front of me is already in ruins, as if it has experienced a major earthquake, broken walls and corpses.
When the Kurosawa Brigade evacuated Tangshan, it carried out a brutal massacre, conniving at the soldiers to loot Tangshan, burning and looting, burning the entire city, destroying all the infrastructure, blowing up all the mines and mines, burning all the coal, timber, grain and any valuable materials that could not be transported in time, and slaughtering at least 70,000 or 80,000 people.
Li Yunlong screamed and jumped on the front of the jeep: "Fight fires, save people, fuck your mother's little devil." ”
The soldiers rushed to the ruins with tears in their eyes, shaving them by hand and carrying them on their shoulders to rescue the people who were buried under the rubble and were dying.
After hearing the report, Xie Tian's face turned black like the bottom of a pot, and he personally led the mobile troops and medical troops to Tangshan.
When Xie Tian arrived in Tangshan, it was already early in the morning, and he led his troops through the ruins to the city center.
As far as the eye could see, the entire ruins were littered with shaking torches, flashlights, and the shouts of people were so hoarse that it pierced my heart to hear.
Zhang Xueliang transferred the 4th and 5th Divisions of the Second Army, which were originally planned to go to Yutian, and the 8th and 9th Divisions of the Third Army, which were about to go to Zunhua, to Tangshan to participate in the rescue, leaving only the 6th and 7th Divisions to carry out the original plan.
Xie Tian contacted Zhang Xueliang through the radio and met Zhang Xueliang and others at the Tangshan Railway Station Square according to the instructions.
Without a word of nonsense, Xie Tian strode towards the tent of the headquarters temporarily set up by Dongye in the square, and asked without stopping: "How many troops are you in Tangshan now?" ”
"The whole of the First Army, the 4th and 5th Divisions of the Second Army, the 8th and 9th Divisions of the Third Army, the 1st Division of the Tank Army, the 1st Artillery Division, and the Cavalry Division." Zhang Xueliang walked hoarsely and quickly beside Xie Tian, and replied quickly.
Xie Tian walked into the tent and pulled open the things on the table and shouted: "The map, not from Tangshan, but from the entire North and Northeast China." ”
The orderly hurriedly took out the map from the map tube and spread it on the table, and Zhang Xueliang and several others hurriedly held down the map.
Xie Tian looked at the map and gave an order directly: "Order, the tank division, the cavalry division, and the first army will quickly attack Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan, regardless of the cost, and attack strongly, and the Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan must be taken down by Lao Tzu before tomorrow evening." ”
As he spoke, Xie Tian looked at Li Yunlong who was standing next to Zhang Xueliang, glared at him and said, "Li Yunlong, don't you always want to fight a tough battle?" Lao Tzu gave you this opportunity today, and you won't be able to take Qinhuangdao before dark tomorrow......"
Li Yunlong shouted in a snorting voice: "If you can't take Qinhuangdao before dark tomorrow, you screw off my head and use it as a urinal." ”
Zhang Xueliang looked at Xie Tian for a moment and hesitated: "Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan now has two divisions and a brigade of devils, and the cost of a strong attack is too great, right?" ”
Xie Tian's eyes widened and he roared: "This price Lao Tzu is willing to pay, if you don't immediately take down Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan, it will be the second Tangshan." Tell the soldiers to exchange their lives for the lives of the common people, and to drive the little devils out of Shanhaiguan even if they are desperate for Lao Tzu, and kowtow to them one by one to bury Lao Tzu who died in battle. ”
Zhang Xueliang's expression changed, he straightened his waist and shouted loudly: "Yes, take Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan before dark tomorrow." ”
Xie Tian waved his hand and roared: "Go and arrange it, Lao Tzu will be in your headquarters, don't move a step, and contact Lao Tzu at any time if there is any situation." ”
Before Zhang Xueliang gave the order, Li Yunlong had already turned around and ran out of the tent and yelled at the guards: "Pass Lao Tzu's order, the first army will all gather and run towards Qinhuangdao, even if you are holding back your, you must not stop, and pull Lao Tzu in his trouser pocket." ”
The First Army was mainly infantry, equipped with a limited number of tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, and not many infantry that could be carried.
Xie Tian's roar came from the tent: "You fucking Li Yunlong, didn't Lao Tzu transfer two trains from Tianjin, order the soldiers to board the train quickly, tell the train driver to drive slowly and be careful of the devil destroying the railway, the train can go wherever it is, let the soldiers hurry up and eat and rest on the train." ”
Li Yunlong, who was scolded outside the tent, couldn't help but grin loudly, yes, and he took the lead in running to the train station.
Damn, why is this broken head melon seed a total short circuit, I also said that even if the troops from Tangshan to Qinhuangdao are 150 kilometers away, they won't be able to catch up with Qinhuangdao before dark tomorrow, why the hell forgot that we also have a train to use now.
When the eight roads are used to being poor.
