"Commander, the Japanese army attacked Linyi and other defense lines, our army can no longer support it, Zhang Zizhong's army, Pang Bingxun's troops have suffered heavy casualties, the battle situation in Lunan is critical, and the Japanese army has already attacked Tengxian County."

Li Zongren listened to the staff officer's report, and his heart became more and more worried about the direction of Tengxian County.

"What time is it?"

"March 14th."

Li Zongren stood up, got up and walked to the telegraph room: "Send electricity, send a telegram to the chairman, request that the 4th Division of the 85th Army of the Tang Enbo Regiment stationed in Bozhou be transferred to our theater of operations, and at the same time hope to send 200 combat defense artillery units to strengthen the strength of our theater." ”

The administrative efficiency of the Nationalist Government was not high, but in wartime, this kind of telegram was quickly replied by the Supreme Commander, and Li Zongren's request could be fully satisfied, as for Tang Enbo's side, reinforcements must be available, but Lao Jiang was needed to ventilate again, in short, Li Zongren breathed a sigh of relief.

Bozhou, the 20th Army Corps Headquarters, the corps commander Tang Enbo sat in the corps headquarters, and the chief of staff Gou Jitang next to him sat next to him, and the two of them figured out the order they had just received.

"Commander, how about transferring Chen Daqing's 4th Division from above?"

"Of course, the order from above must be carried out, but it is just a division that goes out to fight alone on Jinpu Road, and I am really a little uneasy." Of course, Tang Enbo was not at ease, a lone division was pulled out, it was quite dangerous, not to mention, this 4th division was his number one descendant starting unit.

Tang Enbo kept thinking about the battle situation and orders, and he must not let only one division out. Tang Enbo is a person, you can blame him for his performance and command and management at the end of the Anti-Japanese War and Yuxianggui. But for now, Tang Enbo's department is quite capable of fighting, Nankou withstood the onslaught of the Japanese army, the battle of Zihongkou is called the battle to save the second war zone, and the subsequent battles such as the Zhanghe River are also quite eye-catching.

It can be said that the current Tang Enbo Department is a strong enemy in the eyes of the Japanese army, and it is an elite in the eyes of his own people, otherwise Li Zongren would not have asked him by name to come to help.

After the battles of Nankou Zhanghe, the losses of Tang Enbo's corps were not small, Tang Enbo pondered in the corps headquarters for a long time, analyzed the battle situation with the chief of staff for a long time, and finally simply called the commanders of the various armies under the corps.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, the commander of the theater, Chief Li, applied for the transfer of Chen Daqing's 4th Division to join the Jinpu Road and reinforce the battle in Teng County, what do you think?" Tang Enbo said.

Chen Daqing was stunned for a moment, and then looked very relaxed: "Let us fight, let's fight, there's nothing to say." ”

"Corps Commander, now the Japanese offensive is quite fierce, if the 4th Division is pulled out alone. Wouldn't it be inappropriate? "The one who spoke was Wang Zhonglian, the commander of the 85th Army, who was Tang Enbo's descendant, and the 4th and 89th Divisions under the 85th Army were Tang Enbo's descendants.

Guan Linzheng, the commander of the 52nd Army next to him, did not speak, he was also a person who acted on orders.

Zheng Dongguo, the commander of the 2nd Division, thought for a while and said to Tang Enbo: "Commander, it is advantageous to fight with fists clenched together, and a little squeeze out will not have strength." ”

In the end, Li Zhishan, the cavalry commander directly under the 13th Army, said: "It's better for the whole army to attack together and fight with them." ”

Listening to the opinions of his subordinates, Tang Enbo turned his back and made the final trade-off, and for a while there was no sound in the legion headquarters, Tang Enbo made the final decision.

"Immediately report to the superiors that a single division will be in danger of being trapped, and I am determined to attack with all the main forces of the corps, and devote all of them to the battle around Jinpu Road, and fight the Japanese to the end."

"Chen Daqing, as the vanguard of your 4th Division, must set off to Tengxian County on the 14th to rush to the aid of the Sichuan army. The rest of the departments followed up one after another. ”

"Let's play a big game with them in Xuzhou."

Tang Enbo's request for all the legions to attack was quickly approved by the supreme commander, and Li Zongren, who was far away in Xuzhou, was extremely happy when he received this news, not only that. The request of the 200th Division has also been satisfied, and the 200th Division will send anti-aircraft artillery units to assist the troops in the five theaters in combat, so that it will be more confident.

At this time, Zhang Wei was sitting on the training ground, pretending to look around at the scenery. In the past few days, he doesn't know what to do except train and eat.

The troops under his command have already achieved initial results in the coordination of simple infantry guns trained with grenadiers, and it will not be too chaotic to replace them with 82 mortars when the time comes.

There are too many bullets sent by the Fifth War Zone to finish, and even Xu Yi's soldiers who were born in regiments have practiced their marksmanship to the point of perfection. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the appointment from above.

Sure enough, Zhang Wei received a call from Qiu Qingquan on the same day, at this time, he should be called Deputy Division Commander Qiu, Qiu Qingquan has been appointed as the deputy commander of the 200th Division, and the madman Qiu also brought Zhang Wei good news, that is, Zhang Wei and his subordinates have been included in the sequence of the 200th Division.

Qiu Qingquan told him that he had reported the breakthrough of Nanjing to Du Yuming, and Lao Du said that he valued Zhang Wei very much, so he generously accepted Zhang Wei and the troops. Now the temporary number given to Zhang Wei is: 200 Division Independent Company, a very simple and crude number, as for the official number, it will not be given until Zhang Wei returns with his troops after the battle.

Qiu Qingquan also conveyed Du Yuming's order, Zhang Wei's troops should stay here to participate in the war, Du Yuming has already communicated with Li Zongren on the phone, and will be pulled out tomorrow at the latest, Zhang Wei's task is very simple, he will be assigned to Tang Enbo's department and gallop to the aid of Tengxian County, of course, Zhang Wei estimates that he can't see those Sichuan troops, and now the battle situation in Tengxian is complicated, dogs and teeth are staggered, and there are Japanese outposts everywhere.

Qiu Qingquan also issued a special order to Zhang Wei, that is, to take over the 200th division's combat defense artillery units when necessary, and to assist them in getting out of danger in case of danger.

After Qiu Qingquan finished talking about business, the next thing was some less important private matters, Qiu Qingquan officially informed Zhang Wei on the phone that he had been promoted to the rank of captain, not verbally, but a serious official position certified by the Quanxu Department. Although Zhang Wei was also a company commander before, he was acting as an agent when he broke through, and he was only a second lieutenant platoon commander.

In addition to Zhang Wei, He Kun, Qiu Wei, Hao Zhong, and Xu Yi, they also got a formal letter of appointment, Qiu Wei mentioned the lieutenant, promoted to lieutenant, deputy company commander, and concurrently served as the first platoon commander, He Kun, Hao Zhong, Xu Yi became an officer completely, especially Xu Yi, that is quite happy, the officers of the security regiment who have been mixed for two or three years are not as good as staying in Xuzhou for a few days, promoted to officers, and learned a lot of knowledge in the military academy.

Qiu Qingquan gave an order, which means that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be pulled out again, there will be ammunition trucks and military salaries in the afternoon, since the Nanjing breakout, the troops have not been paid, Qiu Qingquan is very understanding to arrange the distribution of military salaries, together with a small batch of ammunition enough to carry with him, he will come over in the afternoon.

Zhang Wei's unit is small in scale and has a considerable face, and it can also be said to be an anecdote that requires the deputy division commander of the major general to coordinate with the theater command, of course, few people know about these things.
