I am a wolf warrior

Tang Zong glanced at the telegram and was immediately overjoyed.

"Principal, great victory in Datong!" Tang Zong almost screamed, "Great victory in Datong!"

"Huh? Great victory in Datong?!" Chang Kaishen, Bai Jiansheng, and the senior generals and staff present looked over one after another, but there was a puzzled expression on their faces. What nonsense are you talking about?

Tang Zong took a deep breath, suppressed his joy and said, "Principal, less than half an hour ago, the 94th Independent Brigade had recovered Datong! The Pingsui Railway has also been cut off, and the logistics supply line of the Mongolian Army's attack group has been destroyed. Cut off, the offensive on Wuyuan will soon be unsustainable due to the cut off of logistics!"

The entire combat hall was silent for more than ten seconds.

Ten seconds later, there was a sudden roar of cheers like a tsunami.

Chang Kaishen was so excited that tears came down, Liang Gang did not fail me, Liang Gang did not fail me!

Bai Jiansheng snatched the telegram from Tang Zong's hand, and after reading it, he was in disbelief. A mere brigade of Liang Gang was able to restore Datong?What kind of battle is this fighting?I don't understand, I really don't understand.

Chapter 529

After the cheers, everyone in the combat hall slowly regained their composure.

Only Chang Kaishen couldn't calm down for a long time, and was still immersed in unspeakable emotions.

"I knew it, I knew it!" Chang Kaishen said with tears in his eyes, "I knew that Liang Gang would definitely live up to me, and the 94th Brigade of the Central Army would definitely live up to me!"

Bai Jiansheng couldn't help pouring cold water: "Chairman, the 94th Brigade of the Central Army's Independence Army can surprise Datong at this time and cut off the Pingsui Railway in one fell swoop. This is indeed somewhat unexpected, but..."

"But the 94th Brigade alone may not be able to maintain Datong." Liu Fei, director of operations, said immediately.

"That's right." Bai Jiansheng nodded and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for the 94th Brigade of the Central Army to defend Datong."

"Why?" Chang Kaishen frowned, "Jiansheng still has a chance, why do you dare to be so sure?"

Liu Feidao: "The reason for this is very simple. After the fall of Datong and the cut off of the Pingsui Railway, the foundation of the Japanese army's rule in Suiyuan will be shaken, so there is no doubt that the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia will definitely counterattack wildly, and the North China Front Army will also We will definitely mobilize heavy troops for reinforcements."

After a pause, Liu Fei said again: "The 94th Brigade of the Central Army is only as strong as a brigade, how can it last for a long time?"

Bai Jiansheng went on to say: "Chairman, don't forget that the Japanese government has just added seven divisions to North China, and these seven divisions have already reached the vicinity of Peiping."

Hearing this, Chang Kaishen's face collapsed again.

The atmosphere in the entire combat hall also changed suddenly, and the senior generals and senior staff members present returned from the excitement to the depressed state in an instant.

Co-author Bai was happy for a long time?

The 94th Brigade of the Central Army regained Datong, and nothing changed?

In the end, Chen Bulei was still upset, and retorted: "The 94th Brigade of the Central Army may not be able to hold Datong for too long, but at least it can buy a few days for the Sui army? With these few days, the Sui army must be The deployment can be completed again, and tank fortifications can be built, so isn’t there hope for defending Wuyuan?”

"Yanji is right." Chang Kaishen said, "At least it can buy time for the Sui army!"

"But what's the use of a day or two?" Bai Jiansheng said, "Anti-tank fortifications need to dig a lot of trenches, and anti-tank cones are also needed, and cement is needed to build anti-tank cones. Fu Yisheng just I sent a telegram and said that the cement in Wuyuan's inventory was only a dozen tons, so the command headquarters urgently transported cement from Guanzhong and Gan Ningqing. However, it would take about three days at the fastest to transport the cement from Guanzhong and Gan Ningqing to Wuyuan. Including the casting time, it will take at least seven days."

Speaking of this pause, Bai Jiansheng sighed again: "So, a mere day or two is not enough, far from enough."

"One or two days is not enough, what about seven days? What about ten days?" Chang Kaishen said, "Is it enough? Is ten days enough?"

"Ten days? How is it possible." Bai Jiansheng shook his head and said, "Chairman, I really didn't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Central Army's 94th Brigade alone. With the five to six thousand soldiers under Liang Gang, if he wants to be stationed in Mongolia It is probably impossible for the attacking corps and the reinforcement corps of the North China Front Army to hold out for ten days under the attack from east and west."

Chang Kaishen didn't say any more, turned his head and told Tang Zong, "Nai Jian, immediately call the 94th Independent Brigade and order them to stick to Datong at all costs for at least ten days!"

"Appointment!" Chen Bulei said suddenly, "No!"

At this time, let the 94th Brigade stick to Datong for ten days, wouldn't they let them die?

"Yanji doesn't need to say too much." Chang Kaishen waved his hand and said, "As the saying goes, when the country is in trouble, think of good generals and honest ministers. This is the autumn of the survival of the party and the country. At that time, Nai Jian, you sent my words to the 94th Independence Brigade exactly, saying that the Party Congress will remember them!"

"Yes!" Tang Zong said solemnly.

……

Anhua, Shanxi Northwest Column Command.

Seeing that Wang Ye hesitated to speak, the brigade commander asked, "Xiao Wang, you can say whatever you want."

Pointing to the sand table, Wang Ye said, "Brigade Commander, there is actually a better option than crossing the Yellow River west to reinforce the Sui Army, and that is to take advantage of the void and go north to surprise Datong!"

"Well, a surprise attack on Datong?" The brigade commander was stunned.

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo who stayed at the headquarters were also stunned when they heard the words.

At this time, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie had already gone to gather their respective troops.

By the way, since the completion of the reorganization, the Shanxi Northwest Column has been concentrated in Anhua County and nearby villages. This is also the difference between the main force or field forces and the local armed forces and militias.

As for the security work of the Northwest Shanxi base area, the three military divisions are responsible.

Now, the three military divisions have each developed three regiments. Although they are all small regiments with more than a thousand people, they all add up to more than 9000 local armed forces, and if the militia is included, the number exceeds 2.

"Yes, a surprise attack on Datong." Wang Ye pointed to the sand table and said, "Look, Brigadier, when the Beiyang government built the Pingsui Railway, it didn't go straight through Zhangjiakou, but turned south to Datong first, and then turned again Back to Suiyuan, so we only need to occupy Datong to cut off the Pingsui Railway, and once the Pingsui Railway is cut off, we will also cut off the logistical supplies of the attacking group of the Mongolian Army. No longer a threat."

Xing Zhiguo frowned and said: "The problem is that the 26th Division of the Japanese Army is in Datong. Even if a considerable part of its troops were deployed to attack the Sui Army, the Mongolian Army soon transferred a lot of support troops from Zhangjiakou, so the devils who stayed in Datong The strength of the army will not necessarily decrease, and the possibility of a surprise attack on Datong is probably not very high."

"No." Wang Ye said decisively, "At this time, Datong's remaining troops will never exceed a brigade!"

"What? There won't be more than one brigade?" Xing Zhiguo said, "Xiao Wang, how did you come to this conclusion?"

"A conclusion based on the facts." Wang Ye said solemnly, "The Sui army's combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Jin army, and General Fu Yisheng is even a famous general. In addition to the 3rd division of tanks adapted by the group, there must be at least one division to cooperate!"

"The garrison in Mongolia only has two divisions and one brigade in total."

"Now the two divisions have been organized into an offensive group to attack the Sui Army,"

"There is only one brigade left to guard Datong, Suiyuan and Zhangjiakou."

"There is another regiment stationed at the junction of Yingxian County and Datong, which is specially used to deter our army from going north, so I dare to assert that the number of troops staying in Datong at this time will not exceed an infantry brigade at most!"

"Xiao Wang, isn't it right?" Xing Zhiguo said, "Didn't the Japanese government just add seven divisions to North China?"

"The seven divisions have just arrived in North China, and they are exhausted. They must take a rest?" Wang Ye smiled and said, "Besides, the Pingsui Railway has a climb near Zhangjiakou, so the transportation capacity is very limited. This is limited. It is still very difficult to transport the combat supplies of the Mongolian army, so how can there be extra transport capacity to transport troops?"

"So there is really a chance?" Xing Zhiguo was obviously convinced.

Wang Yedao: "But there is a problem, because Ying County has been blocked by the Japanese army, so the troops who made a surprise attack on Datong had to go north through Fu'an County. I wonder if Liang Gang would like to take the road?"

Just as he was talking, the phone in the office rang suddenly.

Wang Ye grabbed the phone and said, "Hello, this is the column headquarters."

"Old Wang?" The voice of Sun Bin, the commander of the third division, came from the other side of the phone, "There is an emergency. The 94th Brigade of the Central Army's Independent Brigade suddenly abandoned Fu'an County and headed north!"

"What?" Wang Ye said in amazement, "Have you really given up on Fu'an County?"

"I really gave up." Sun Bin said, "There is not even a single soldier left in the county!"

After thinking for a while, Wang Ye quickly came to his senses and asked again, "How many people were there when the 94th Brigade started?"

Sun Bin said without hesitation: "I went to see it in person. When the 94th Independent Brigade set off from Fu'an County, there were less than 4000 people. It seems that there are 2000 people missing."

"I see, Old Sun, take over Fu'an County immediately."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ye hung up the phone and said to the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, we are one step too late. Liang Gang's 94th Brigade of the Central Army has already succeeded in a surprise attack on Datong."

Xing Zhiguo said, "That's not what Sun Bin said on the phone just now?"

Wang Ye nodded and said: "Sun Bin said on the phone just now that Liang Gang had given up Fu'an County with the main force of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army. There can only be one explanation for this, that is, the 94th Brigade has already taken Datong The command of the war zone chief or the Chongqing Command requires them to stick to Datong until the Sui Army is ready for battle!"

"Defend Datong?" The brigade commander said sternly, "That's really almost like sending to death."

Wang Ye turned his head, looked in the direction of Datong and said, "I hope I guessed wrong."

……

On the road from Fu'an County to Datong, the main force of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army is marching northward.

In the morning, it was Duan Rongqing's regiment and Liang Jun's Jiaolong Squadron who attacked Datong by surprise. This time Duan Rongqing finally washed away the previous shame in Yezhugou.

Liang Gang's original intention was to stick to Datong with a regiment of troops for two to three days, wait for the main force of the Mongolian Army and the reinforcements from the Japanese North China Front Army to arrive, and then lead the main force of the 94th Brigade to go north to meet the main force of the Datong Regiment. When he came out, he still retreated to Fu'an County.

Liang Gang felt that in two to three days, the Sui Army should be able to prepare.

At least they will not be caught off guard by the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia like they are now.

In this way, the chances of the Sui army to defend Wuyuan and Hetao will be greatly increased.

However, the plan did not change quickly, and a telegram from the attendant's room disrupted his entire plan.

Faced with the order of "sticking to Datong for ten days" personally issued by Chang Kaishen, Liang Gang chose to resolutely implement it. As long as it is an order from the principal, it must be implemented unconditionally!

So after receiving the order, Liang Gang gave up Fu'an County without hesitation and led the whole brigade northward.

Because Liang Gang knew better than anyone else that this trip to Datong was a desperate journey. Including Liang Gang, there was a high probability that no one from the 94th Brigade would come back alive.

Zhu Jiahua firmly opposed it.

And is trying to convince Liang Gang.

"Traveler, you are irresponsible!"

Zhu Jiahua said anxiously with a pale face: "It is irresponsible to the more than 7000 brothers in the whole brigade!"

"You know exactly what the result of going north to Datong will be, and you know it's death, why do you insist on taking your brothers to Datong? Traveler, why?"

Liang Gang sighed and said, "When the country is in crisis, someone has to make sacrifices, right? If you don't sacrifice, if I don't sacrifice, the country will perish in the end. You, my brother, and countless sisters will all become subjugated slaves."

"I don't believe it." Zhu Jiahua said, "I don't believe it. If our 94th Brigade does not stick to Datong, the country will perish. , for the nation, I'm afraid it's not that important, traveler, stop deceiving yourself and others."

"Am I deceiving myself? No, I'm not deceiving myself." Liang Gang said solemnly.

"Right now, our Independent 94th Brigade is as important to the country and to the nation as the headmaster said."

"The reason is also very simple, because we are at this critical point. At present, only we can control the direction of the war."

"If we can stick to Datong for ten days, Wuyuan will not be lost! If Wuyuan is not lost, Guanzhong will be there. If Guanzhong is not lost, Sichuan will be there. If Sichuan is here, China will not perish!"

After a pause, Liang Gang said again: "So, who can I lose in this battle?"

Zhu Jiahua said sadly: "But the problem is, we can't hold ten days at all! We can't hold it!"

"If you don't keep it, how do you know that you can't keep it?" Liang Gang snorted and said again, "Man can conquer nature. You can only have a chance to do it if you have firm belief. If you don't have faith, you will definitely not be able to do it!"

"Brigade! That shouldn't be us, it shouldn't be!" Zhu Jiahua couldn't control it anymore, crying loudly, "It's our turn to sacrifice when we fight Songhu, defend Nanjing, it's our turn to sacrifice, Zhan Lanfeng, It’s our turn to sacrifice again. Why is it our turn to sacrifice this time to defend Datong? Why can’t it be the Sui Army? Why can’t it be the First Army? Why! Why is it always us, the brigade, it shouldn’t be, it shouldn’t be Us!"

"Jiahua, remember, there is no right or wrong, only willing or not." Liang Gang said solemnly, "Defending the family and the country, sacrificing one's life for righteousness, is the duty of our generation of soldiers. It's whoever's turn it is, there is no need to escape, Nor can we escape! To go to Datong, we can only pour our blood on the battlefield, and tell the world with our iron bones that this time, we did not desert in times of crisis! This time, we fulfilled our promise The oath, the mission has been fulfilled! We are worthy of the duty of soldiers!"

Zhu Jiahua and other accompanying veterans all shed tears.

So everyone understands that there is no return.

However, as a soldier, there is no return and no regrets.

……

Beiping, No. 11 Iron Lion Alley.

Arisue Seizo reported to Neiji Okamura: "Your Excellency, the 3rd Chariot Division has withdrawn and joined the follow-up 26th Division, and is now heading back to Datong."

"The two Mongolian cavalry divisions working together are also approaching."

"However, intelligence shows that the [-]th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the Jinsui bandit area has already come out in full force."

After a pause, Yusue Seizo said again: "If there is no accident, the main force of the garrison in Mongolia will definitely be blocked by the [-]th Division of the Eighth Route Army on the way back to Datong."

"Well, that's to be expected."

Neiji Okamura nodded and said, "Where is the regiment stationed at the junction of Datong in Ying County?"

"That infantry regiment has already been entangled by troops from the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army." Arime Seizan said in a low voice, "I'm afraid we won't be able to get away in a short time."

"Damn it." Neiji Okamura frowned, "Where's the 1st Division?"

You Mo Jing said: "The 1st Division is rushing towards Datong along the Pingsui Highway, but the Eighth Route Army in the Jinchaji bandit area has already heard the news and launched a crazy blockade relying on the favorable terrain on both sides of the highway, so the 1st Division The advance speed of the [-]st Division is not fast, and I am afraid that it will not be able to reach Datong in a short time."

"Isn't there still the Pingsui Railway?" Okamura Ningji said solemnly, "Take the train."

Arisue Seizo sighed and said, "The railway was also damaged by the Eighth Route Army, and it will take time to repair it."

"Damn it!" Ningji Okamura said furiously, "Order the 71st and 72nd divisions to immediately launch a large-scale offensive in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei bandit area, force the Eighth Route Army to return to the division to save themselves, and clear the way for the 1st division to advance. obstacle."

"Hayi!" You Mojing nodded three times.

……

Anhua, Shanxi Northwest Column Command.

The troops have assembled, and Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong have returned to the war room.

At this time, the comrades of the Datong Underground Party had sent further news back to the headquarters, and the headquarters agency notified the news to the Shanxi Northwest Column.
