"Mountain rain is about to come and the building is full of wind." Liang Gang stared at the sand table and said quietly, "Northwest Shanxi is about to fight a big battle, and the movement of this battle may not be much smaller than the Nanjing defense battle."
"Huh?" Hearing the words "Nanjing Defense War", the expressions of Zhu Jiahua and several combat staff officers immediately changed.
Almost instantly, familiar faces appeared in front of their eyes, and the cries and curses of their comrades before they died seemed to sound in their ears.
It was an unbearable memory.
They wished they could never forget that humiliating scene.
Yes, that is a shame that is difficult to wash away in their lives.
Because they became deserters in that battle. Despite the orders from the chief, deserters are deserters. When the people of Nanjing needed them most, they became deserters.
Liang Gang noticed Zhu Jiahua and the others' dejected expressions, and immediately shouted coldly: "Hold your head up, let him pass the past, don't give up on yourself just because you were a deserter once."
As soon as the voice fell, a communications soldier hurried in with a telegram.
"Travel seat." The communications soldier handed over the telegram with both hands, and reported, "The attendant's room is urgent."
"Urgent telegram from the attendant's room?" Liang Gang's expression turned serious, he quickly reached out to take the folder, opened it, and took out the telegram from it.
After reading the telegram, Liang Gang's face suddenly darkened.
Zhu Jiahua said: "Traveler, what's the matter?"
Liang Gang didn't speak, but just handed over the telegram.
After reading the telegram, Zhu Jiahua's face changed drastically: "What?! Let us alone 94 Brigade take the initiative to launch an attack on the Mongolian Army, so as to gain time for the Sui Army to prepare for war? Is this crazy?"
Hearing this, the faces of several staff officers present also changed drastically.
"Zhu Jiahua!" Liang Gang turned pale, "Watch your words!"
After a pause, Liang Gang said again: "This is an order from the attendant's office, it is an order from the principal!"
"Yes! I have made inappropriate words in this humble position. Please forgive me." Zhu Jiahua snapped his feet to attention, and then said again, "But this order cannot be carried out. This is clearly sending us to death!"
Several other combat staff officers also echoed after hearing the words.
"That's right, travel seat, you will not accept the orders of the king outside!"
"Traveler, this is chaos, we absolutely cannot accept it."
"Traveler, let us attack a Japanese army with a brigade. Which lunatic thought of this? The principal must have listened to the greedy words of the villain around him, so he gave such a reckless order."
"Enough!" Liang Gang said angrily, "Shut up!"
After a pause, Liang Gang said again in a deep voice: "Soldiers, it is their bounden duty to obey orders. This is an order signed by the principal himself. As a party-state soldier, he must obey unconditionally!"
"Travel seat!" Zhu Jiahua was anxious when he heard the words.
"Shut up!" Liang Gang pulled out his pistol with his backhand, and shouted sharply, "If you dare to dissuade me, don't blame me for not remembering my past love!"
Zhu Jiahua and several combat staff officers were shocked when they heard the words, because they could see that Liang Gang was really angry. If fuel was added to the fire at this time, Liang Gang would really dare to shoot and kill.
"Staff Zhang!" Liang Gang turned his gaze to a staff officer, and shouted in a deep voice, "Order the troops to assemble urgently!"
"Yes!" The combat staff officer didn't dare to say another word, raised his hand in salute, then turned around and hurried out.
Zhu Jiahua realized that this attack was inevitable, so as the chief of staff of the 94th Brigade, the only thing he can do now is to try to preserve this unit as much as possible.
At that moment, Zhu Jiahua said: "Brigade, according to the information provided by the Jiaolong Squadron, there is about one Japanese infantry regiment stationed at the junction of Ying County and Datong. Why don't we attack the Japanese army's flanks and rear, and at the same time give the Eighth Route Army Say hello to the [-]th Brigade, and the two companies join forces to attack and eat up this infantry regiment?"
What Zhu Jiahua meant was that it's okay to type casually, and you don't need to be too serious.
However, Liang Gang rejected Zhu Jiahua's suggestion without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "Chief of Staff, the original text of the principal's telegram is to stop the Mongolian Army at all costs. I don't need to say more about what it means. ?”
Zhu Jiahua's expression froze, and he frowned and said: "Then, how does the brigade plan to hold back the Mongolian army?"
"Fight Datong!" Liang Gang said decisively, "Only by defeating Datong and cutting off the logistics supply line of the Mongolian Army can the Mongolian Army be forced to turn around and rescue Datong, and can buy enough preparation time for the Sui Army!"
"Ah?" Zhu Jiahua was taken aback when he heard the words, and cried out, "Datong?!"
The other combat staff officers present also changed their faces, which was really unexpected.
"Yes!" Liang Gang nodded heavily, and said, "To fight Datong, and to win Datong!"
Speaking of this meal, Liang Gang said again: "Chief of Staff, didn't I ask you to prepare a thousand sets of devil uniforms before? Originally, this was just an idle move, but I didn't expect that this move would come in handy so soon. gone."
Zhu Jiahua was silent, this is really desperate.
……
The next morning, outside the South Gate of Datong was peaceful.
Small vendors rushing to the morning market are queuing up to enter the city. Two puppet soldiers are searching the small vendors.
The big girl and the little daughter-in-law dared not speak out.
But these two puppet soldiers just had a hand addiction.
Because there are two Japanese sentries standing guard not far from the city gate.
Datong is a consolidated area of the Japanese-occupied area, and the Japanese military police strictly control it, and the law and order are relatively good.
Before all the small vendors gathered outside the south gate entered the city, the sound of uniform footsteps suddenly sounded on the road.
The small vendors waiting outside the city gate, the puppet soldiers in charge of searching the small vendors, and the devils standing guard all turned their heads to look forward, and saw a large group of Japanese troops approaching in a four-way column.
Behind the infantry, there are [-]-type mountain artillery dragged by mules and horses.
I saw this Japanese army wearing brand-new military uniforms and carrying brand-new rifles.
The leather shoes he was wearing under his feet also made a crackling sound when they stepped on the road.
The two devils standing guard immediately cast envious glances at the Japanese army. This should be the Kwantung Army who just entered the pass, right?Only the Kwantung Army wore leather boots, and the North China Front Army wore rubber-soled shoes.
In a blink of an eye, the Japanese army arrived at the gate of the city, and the two devil sentries didn't even think to ask.
As for the two puppet soldiers, they didn't even fart, they just raised their hands and saluted there.
It wasn't until the large army entered the city, and the twelve mountain cannons pulled by mules and horses also entered the city, that an officer wearing a major uniform and a guard came before the two devil sentinels.
"Hello." The major asked in Japanese, "Is there a fire?"
While talking, the major took out a pack of cigarettes and put another one in his mouth.
"Hai." One of the ghost sentries hurriedly took out a match and stepped forward to light the Major's cigarette.
At the moment when the devil sentry approached and the sight of another devil sentry was attracted, the major suddenly slashed the devil sentry in front of him with a palm knife. He fell into a severe coma without making a sound.
"Ba Ga!" Another devil sentry instantly realized that something was wrong, and instinctively wanted to raise his gun and shoot.
But it was too late, because the guard of Shao Zuo had already touched the back of another devil, and with a flash of cold light, that devil's neck had been cut off.
Seeing this, the two puppet soldiers were instantly dumbfounded.
what's the situation?The imperial army killed the imperial army?Infighting?
"Raise your hands, don't kill if you hand in your gun!" The Major suddenly shouted.
"We surrender!" The two puppet soldiers hurriedly threw away their rifles and raised their hands high.
But he thought in his heart, good guy, it turns out that this is a fake imperial army, so courageous.
……
Zhangjiakou, the headquarters of the Mongolian Army.
Toyojiro Inamura, Chief of Staff of the Garrison in Mongolia, is reporting the latest progress of the offensive group to Ichiro Shichita: "Your Excellency, the forward of the 3rd Tank Division has passed Baotou and is approaching Wuliangsuhai."
"Yoxi." Shichida Ichiro nodded happily, and asked again, "Where is the 26th Division? Where has it advanced?"
Inamura Toyojiro said: "The forward of the 26th Division has just passed through Guyang County, and the distance between the 3rd Chariot Division and the Chariot Division has been at least 25 kilometers."
"25 kilometers? This won't work." Shichita Ichiro said anxiously, "Immediately call the 26th Division and ask them to speed up, and they must catch up with the progress of the 3rd Tank Division. There must be no disconnect between the tank unit and the infantry unit. Your Excellency the General has specially instructed you to do this, and you must not take it lightly."
"Hai." Toyojiro Inamura paused, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait." Shichita Ichiro said again, "The depot troops should also step up loading vehicles. We must ensure the fuel supply of the 3rd Tank Division, otherwise the combat effectiveness of the 3rd Tank Division will be greatly reduced."
"Hai." Toyojiro Inamura paused again, turning around to leave.
However, at this moment, the phone in the office rang suddenly.
Shichita Ichiro immediately grabbed the microphone and said, "Moses, this is the headquarters of the Mongolian Army."
The next second, a slightly flustered voice came from the other side of the phone: "Your Excellency, this is the garrison of the 26th Division of Datong. Datong was just attacked by unknown armed forces. The opponent pretended to be the Kwantung Army and broke into the city. And it is launching a fierce attack on our division headquarters, and more than half of the people left behind in our division headquarters have been killed or injured, please ask for emergency reinforcements, please ask for emergency reinforcements!"
"What?" Shichida Ichiro said suddenly, "Datong is under attack, and the enemy has already broken into the city?"
Toyojiro Inamura, who was about to leave just now, turned back immediately after hearing the words, and looked at Ichiro Shichita with a shocked expression.
……
Beiping, Iron Lion Alley NO.11.
When Ningji Okamura walked into the war room, he found that it was already full of people.
Moreover, the atmosphere in the war room seemed very lively, as if they were discussing something.
"Youmo-kun." Neiji Okamura asked with a smile, "What were you discussing just now?"
"Your Majesty, we are discussing the battle situation in Suiyuan." You Mojing Sanwei paused and said with a smile, "The 3rd Chariot Division is advancing extremely fast, and has already advanced to the east bank of Wuliangsuhai Sea, and Fu Yisheng The Sui army was unprepared, and there was no time to build anti-tank fortifications, so the fall of Wuyuan has become a foregone conclusion."
Speaking of this meal, he said: "Once Wuyuan falls, the Sui army will have no defensive support in Hetao, Fu Yisheng has no other choice but to retreat to Hexi, and as long as the Sui army retreats, Hetao will be at your fingertips! "
After another pause, he continued: "Once Hetao is occupied by the Mongolian Army, the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will be unable to fly."
"Yoshi!" Neiji Okamura nodded happily, and when he was about to say a few words, a communications staff officer hurried in.
"Your Excellency, General!" The communications staff handed a telegram to Okamura Neiji, paused and said, "The Mongolian Army is urgent."
"There should be good news again." Neiji Okamura accepted the telegram with a smile, but in the next second, the smile on Neiji Okamura's face froze and became embarrassing.
Sue Seisho and the dozen or so staff officers present felt their hearts sink.
"Your Excellency, General!" Youmo Jingsan said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
"Datong has fallen." Neji Okamura let out a sigh of relief, and handed the telegram to Seizo Arisue.
"What? Datong fell?" Youmo Jingsan cried out in disbelief, while reaching out to take the telegram, the dozen or so staff officers present were also shocked, how could it be possible?
After quickly reading the telegram, Arisue Seizo's face also collapsed.
"Baga!" Youmo Jingsan roared with a dark face, "China's Central Army?!"
"What a mistake!" Okamura Ningji patted his forehead and said bitterly, "We only cared about guarding against the Eighth Route Army, and only sent security troops to the Eighth Route Army's [-]th Brigade and [-]th Division, but we ignored the fact that they were so close at hand. The Chinese Central Army! We forgot that there is still an independent brigade of the Chinese Central Army entrenched in Fu’an County.”
"This is troublesome." Arisue Seizo said with a dark face, "Datong fell, and the Pingsui Railway was cut off at once, and the depot troops could not deliver fuel and ammunition to the front line in time, and could not get supplies. The 26th The soldiers of the division can also persist in fighting by saving ammunition and rations, but the tanks and cars of the 3rd Tank Division have no way to save fuel. Once they break down due to exhaustion of fuel, they will become live targets at night."
Having said this, he paused, and then said: "Your Excellency, you must order the 3rd Chariot Division to withdraw immediately and not move forward, otherwise there will be big trouble."
Deputy Chief Ning Okamura sighed.
……
Chongqing Huangshan official residence, Yunxiu Tower.
Even though the most capable senior generals of the party and state and the most resourceful senior staff in the attendant room gathered in Yunxiu Building, Chang Kaishen still felt inexplicably anxious.
Because the situation in Suiyuan is not optimistic.
Tang Zong took the telegram he had just received and said in a low voice: "The fortifications built by the New 31st Division and the New 32nd Division west of Baotou are aimed at the Japanese infantry, and they can't stop the tanks at all."
"And the number of tanks that the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia invested in the attack this time is extremely large."
"According to reports from the New 31st Division and the New 32nd Division, it is very likely that there will be more than 300 vehicles!"
Hearing this, there was a sound of breathing in the combat hall, more than 300 tanks?And it was still on the grassland of Yimapingchuan, what kind of hopeless scene was that?It's over!
After a pause, Tang Zong continued, "So I really can't stop the devil's attack."
"Up to now, the five lines of defense of the New 31st Division and the New 32nd Division have all been breached, and the Japanese forward has advanced to the east coast of Wuliangsuhai, less than a hundred miles away from Wuyuan."
"According to the current advance speed of the Japanese army, I'm afraid it will be..."
Pausing for a few seconds, he said again: "I'm afraid it will only take half a day, and Wuyuan will definitely fall before noon tomorrow."
"Wuyuan must not be lost!" Chang Kaishen roared, "Wuyuan is Suiyuan's defensive support, once Wuyuan falls, Suiyuan will cease to exist, Suiyuan will cease to exist, Hetao will cease to exist, Guanzhong will no longer exist, so Hanzhong, Bashu, and even the entire Southwest will no longer exist!"
A group of senior generals and aides were shocked when they heard the words.
It can be seen that the chairman is really anxious.
Bai Jiansheng sighed and persuaded: "Chairman, the construction of anti-tank fortifications requires cement and more time. However, what the Sui army lacks most at this time is time, so we should abandon Suiyuan and preserve this vital force..."
Just when Bai Jiansheng was about to persuade Chang Kaishen to give up, another communication staff officer hurried in and handed a recently received telegram to Tang Zong.
