Xue Yue was not satisfied with the performance of the 151st Brigade after it arrived at Minshan, it was now a critical juncture, the Japanese army would be in trouble at any time, and it would be difficult for the defenders of Jinguanqiao to withdraw at that time. So, the next day, he directly sent a telegram order to Wang Yaowu, commander of the 51st Division of the 74th Army:

On the evening of the same day, Commander Wang of the 51st Division personally led his headquarters to arrive at the Japanese troops attacking the foot of Minshan Mountain, Yangping Mountain, and Minshan Dawu, completely wiped out, and indeed occupied the key points of Egongbao, Gaoling, Hongjiashan, Guojialing, and Minshan Dawu on the Minshan line.

After receiving the order, Wang Yaowu, commander of the 51st Division, immediately gathered his troops and headed for Minshan. However, due to the construction of the outer fortifications of De'an, the dispersion of the garrison and the complete destruction of the road delayed the reinforcement of the 151st Brigade.

Xue Yue saw that the 51st Division was moving slowly, and thought that it was Yu Jishi who did not listen to his orders.

The Battle of Minshan was fought for several days, and Minshan was still in the hands of the enemy. If Minshan can't take it back, it's like a fish bone stuck in Xue Yue's throat, and the entire defense system he carefully arranged will loosen the whole line.

Thinking of this, Xue Yue vented his anger on Yu Jishi's head, Yu Jishi's dignified national army was an ace, well-equipped and well-trained. For three days in a row, I couldn't capture a single Minshan Mountain!

So, Xue Yue commanded: "Are you relying on yourself to be Chairman Jiang's descendant, thinking that I, Xue Yue, can't help you, and will fight against me!" Out of my foreign appearance! If you don't take Lao Tzu in your eyes and deliberately tease Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has a good show for you! ”

After hearing this, the staff officer on the side felt that Xue Yue had really moved to kill, so he said for Yu Jishi: "Maybe Commander Yu has a hard time, the roads in that area are rugged, and the troops of the 51st Division are scattered......"

"Shut up~ He just relies on the support of the chairman of the committee, and doesn't take my Xue someone's words seriously!"

Xue Yue couldn't listen to it at all, Minshan was related to the success or failure of the entire Nanxun battlefield, and he couldn't let Yu Jishi spoil his own big things. Thinking of this, Xue Yue had a whim, and he decided to knock on this guy who didn't know the height of the sky, so that he could have a long memory.

So, Xue Yue called the confidential secretary, dictated the message, and then signed, and asked the confidential secretary to send the message to Yu Jishi.

The content of the message is just one sentence: If you play with orders, you will play with your life!

This is a bizarre and rare message! Unbelievably it came from the mouth of a senior general of the national army.

After Yu Jishi received the telegram, he was like five thunderbolts, full of grievances and resentment, so angry that his facial features were deformed. He slapped the telegram on the table and scolded: "Xue Boling, you are deceiving people too much! ”

、

Yu Jishi is indeed aggrieved and suffering. Maybe he dared to resist other generals with higher ranks and seniority than him, but in front of Xue Yue, he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

Yu Jishi knew how powerful Xue Yue was, and he was always in awe of Xue Yue. He knew that Xue Yue was a celebrity beside the chairman, and the chairman had entrusted him with important responsibilities many times. Once this "tiger cub" who is not afraid of heaven and earth is powerful, even the chairman of the committee will let him score three points.

The battle of Lanfeng was also the descendant of the chairman, and Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie suffered from him. At the moment of the great enemy, Yu Jishi didn't dare to provoke the fire! Therefore, since he came to the Nanxun battlefield and belonged to the battle sequence of Xue Yue's First Corps, Yu Jishi always warned himself that Xue Yue was not easy to mess with, and in front of him, he had to be a man with his tail between his legs, and he had to be a hundred times more cautious, so as not to anger him......

But who would have thought that Xue Yue seemed to be unable to get along with himself, and he didn't have a good face for himself again and again, not only harshly worded, but also hurtful words. If it was someone else, Lao Tzu would have had a seizure a long time ago, but he still didn't dare in front of Xue Yue. But he is not a vegetarian, and in the face of the grievances and Xue Yue's thunderous anger, he still carefully replied to Xue Yue with a message that was neither soft nor hard:

The content of the message: I respect the military order, and I spare my life! However, the 51st Division's troops were scattered, and the roads were rugged and difficult to navigate, so it was impossible to move quickly.

Yu Jishi's telegram was hidden in the needle, and Xue Yue was half angry when he received it. He really understood the arrogance of his lineage, and it seemed that in order for Yu Jishi to obey the order, he had to move Elder Jiang.

After hearing this, Chairman Jiang immediately sent a telegram ordering Yu Ji to rush to Minshan and sent him a harshly worded telegram: If you resist the order, you should take Han Xiangfang as a reference.

At the critical moment, Xue Yue played the card of the chairman, and Chairman Jiang played the card of Han Fuyu's execution, and the arrogant Yu Jishi was firmly suppressed.

With Chairman Jiang's strict orders and Xue Yue's strict orders, Yu Jishi was like a rat burrowing into the bellows—angry at both ends. Where did he dare to disobey the military order, while replying to Xue Yue's telegram, he ordered Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 51st Division, to rush to Minshan at all costs!

Wang Yaowu received two orders from the corps commander and the army commander one after another, and knew that the situation was urgent and urgent, so he led his troops to gallop in the direction of Minshan in the starry night. Before dawn the next day, Wang Yaowu's 51st Division arrived near Dongling and Daya Mountain, and the morale of Zhou Zhidao's 151st Brigade was greatly boosted.

Wang Yaowu arrived at Minshan in time, and Xue Yue's heart relaxed slightly, but ......

"Report! Falcon calls! ”

"Read!"

The signal corps reported: "Our unit successfully destroyed the Ruichang highway line and cut off the logistics supply of the Japanese army in Minshan. According to the reconnaissance report from the front, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army in Ruichang moved south in a big way to reinforce Minshan, and General Wu made preparations in time. ”

This telegram was like a bolt from the blue for Xue Yue, and the Ruichang Japanese army was still dispatched.

Immediately, Xue Yue ordered: "Order the Falcon to block the enemy's reinforcements, and order the Jinguan defenders to withdraw as soon as possible and go to the second line of defense." ”

The staff officer on the side was a little worried, and said: "There are less than 500 of them, and most of them still have no combat effectiveness, can they stop thousands of Japanese troops?" ”

"The combat effectiveness of a unit is not only based on the quality and equipment of the soldiers, but also on the commander."

Although Xue Yue said this, he still didn't know the bottom in his heart, after all, the other party had at least one wing, plus other special forces, and the number was about five thousand, ten times that of Shao Fei. So, Xue Yue whispered: "It's a while to be able to delay for a while." ”

Shao Fei was a little surprised after receiving the telegram, he thought that he was reminding Xue Yue to take precautions in time, but he didn't expect that he would let himself block reinforcements ten times his own. It seems that the battle of Minshan is related to the success or failure of the entire Nanxun campaign.

So, Shao Fei gathered his troops and mobilized for the final decisive battle.

Shao Fei said loudly in front of the team: "Now the Japanese army is moving south to reinforce Minshan. The battle in Minshan is related to the entire Nanxun war situation, and even Wuhan. Minshan could not be captured, and nearly 100,000 troops of the three armies in the vicinity of Jinguanqiao would be surrounded by the Ninth Division and the 106th Division. We will also end up in failure. ”

Shao Fei first explained the great relationship of the Battle of Minshan, and then held Xue Yue's telegram and said loudly: "Now! General Xue Yue asked us to block Ruichang's reinforcements, and I think this is also General Xue's helpless move. I don't force everyone, you should have evacuated, and if you're lucky, you can go home. If anyone wants to go, I don't force it. ”

Shao Fei's words surprised Yi Ren beside him, he originally thought that Shao Fei would say some impassioned words to boost morale, but he didn't expect to call these people home. And Shao Fei just thought that he should be willing to fight. This battle should not have belonged to them, it was completely self-initiated. In life, they should have their own choice.

Shao Fei's words caused the Sichuan soldiers below to hesitate, and then a Sichuan army officer stepped forward and said loudly: "Minshan was lost by our 72nd Army, and we bear the shame of the Sichuan Army." Since we lost it here, we have to fight it back here! Yes, Sichuan Army brothers! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The Sichuan soldiers in the rear shouted together, and their morale was stimulated by this officer.

After the shouting stopped, the officer said to Shao Fei: "We are willing to give our lives to you, sir, but I hope you can promise us two things." ”

"Say it!"

"First, I hope that this blocking battle will let General Xue know that it was our Sichuan army that fought and give us the honor that the Sichuan army deserves; Second, I hope that the commander can lead us to kill more devils and avenge the Sichuan army that died in Minshan! ”

Shao Fei's eyes were solemn, he looked straight at these Sichuan soldiers, and then said loudly: "I promise." This is the honor you deserve! Also, I haven't fought a battle with a 1-to-1 death ratio! In this blockade battle, you have to let the devils know the ambition, bloodiness, and strength of the Sichuan army! ”

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" “……”

The Sichuan soldiers in the rear shouted together again, this time it seemed to be louder than the last time, and the morale of the troops reached a boiling point.

For a time, the two sides gathered heavy troops in the Minshan position, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
