Chapter 591: Temporary Command
"Report, General, the positions of the various Chinese armies have been captured by us."
On the phone, the wing commanders of the front-line troops called one after another to report the victory to the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura.
The division commander Junrokuro Matsuura was very happy and viciously ordered: "Don't take prisoners, don't leave a mouth alive!"
The attack of the Chinese army last night caused them a lot of losses, so Matsuura Junrokuro couldn't wait to take revenge, hoping to use the blood of the Chinese soldiers to pay tribute to their fallen officers and soldiers.
"General, we didn't capture the prisoners of the Shina Army...... but the answer on the other side of the phone made Junrokuro Matsuura pour cold water on it.
Didn't catch any captives? How can it be? Isn't there a single wounded soldier? Junrokuro Matsuura clearly did not believe such an answer.
Although the Chinese officers and soldiers fought bravely and tenaciously in many cases, there were often survivors who were stunned in the mud by shells, or the wounded soldiers who did not have time to retreat were captured by them.
"Are you sure you didn't catch any captives?" Junrokuro Matsuura spoke again to confirm.
"General, yes, none of our troops have captured a single prisoner, our attack has not met any resistance, and it seems that the Chinese army has already withdrawn......"
The situation reported by the phone was somewhat unusual, so that Junrokuro Matsuura decided to go to the front line to take a look in person.
Soon the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura arrived at the battlefield surrounded by a large number of officials, but as far as the eye could see, except for the bombed fortifications and trenches, there were not even a few corpses.
Seeing this scene, Junrokuro Matsuura's face suddenly turned pale, he knew that he had been tricked by the Chinese army, and he was afraid that after the fierce offensive last night, the Chinese army would take the opportunity to withdraw.
And he was still in the dark, proud that he did not have the plan of the Chinese commander, and everything in front of him was like a loud slap in his face, making his face gloomy and terrible.
The surrounding officials also knew that they had been tricked, but now that the Chinese troops had withdrawn, they could only eat Coptis dumbly and swallow this bitter fruit in their stomachs.
"General, the reconnaissance aircraft found the retreating Chinese troops in the direction of Wushimen......"
A devil in charge of intelligence, Shaozo, rushed from a distance and reported a new situation.
"The whole army is in pursuit!" Junrokuro Matsuura gritted his teeth and bit out these words, his fists creaking.
Their 106th Division first lost more than 8,000 officers and men in a head-butted collision on the Nanxun Line, but now they have been ruthlessly played again after a long attack on Ma Huiling, and the anger of Junrokuro Matsuura and the soldiers of the entire 106th Division has been provoked.
Soon, the 147th, 113th, 52nd, 123rd, 106th and other wings under the 106th Division marched along the highway and only attacked the Wushimen line.
In the sky above the mighty army of devils, reconnaissance planes, fighters, and bombers with roaring motors also roared past from time to time, rushing towards the Wushimen defense line.
After a night of withdrawal, most of the Chinese troops had withdrawn to the designated positions and assembled.
In Wushimen, the second-line position on the first line of Yongfeng Bridge had already been urgently repaired by the troops and the people of the organization several weeks ago.
Compared with the simple temporary trenches in the Mahuiling area, the fortified trenches on the first line of Wushimen are more solid.
Hidden trenches, machine-gun trenches, bunkers, and communication trenches are all available, and they are interlocking, and the depth is enough, at this moment it is like a trap laid by an old hunter, waiting for the devil to crash up.
In the brigade headquarters at the assembly site, the staff officers were busy, busy hanging maps and connecting the telephones to the regiments, chaotic and noisy.
Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao was full of exhaustion, and instead of being happy that the troops had successfully evacuated from under the noses of the devils, his face was a little bad.
"Yang Ling, don't they have any news yet?" Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao looked at the map of the complicated enemy situation and asked in a deep voice.
The combat staff officer replied in a somewhat low voice: "Brigade seat, all the troops behind the palace have been withdrawn, I am afraid that they have not seen the retreat signal flare, and they are already very lucky."
All the troops were evacuated according to the predetermined plan, but when the number of people was counted, it was found that Yang Ling, the commander of the 301st Regiment, and most of the regiment had not returned, which made Zhou Zhidao very worried about their safety.
If the 301st Regiment is now a powerful main force in his hands, and Yang Ling has become his indispensable right-hand man.
Now Yang Ling and they did not evacuate unexpectedly, once the devil reacted, they would definitely be more auspicious, but Zhou Zhidao would not believe it, Yang Ling had survived many bloody battles, and this time the boat capsized in the perineum gutter.
"Send someone back to look for them, in case they get separated during the night." Zhou Zhidao insisted on the order.
On the battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting, not to mention a regiment commander, even the sacrifice of an entire platoon and company often happens, but seeing Zhou Zhidao's haggard face.
The combat staff officer sighed, and was ready to send someone back to look for it, in case he was still alive, but according to the news of the troops behind the palace, the devils had already chased after him, and I was afraid that Yang Ling had little hope of being alive.
Seeing that the combat staff officer turned to leave, the deputy brigade commander spoke: "Brigade seat, now the 301st Regiment has no leader, and the battle is tight at the moment, who do you think is better to take the command temporarily?"
Hearing the words of the deputy brigade commander, Zhou Zhidao also sighed, at this critical moment, the former regiment commander Zhang Handuo was still lying in the hospital, and now Yang Ling's life and death are unknown, and a dignified main regiment has been made leaderless.
"Who do you think is the right person to be transferred to the temporary command?" Zhou Zhidao raised his head and asked.
After thinking for a while, the deputy brigade commander replied: "At present, there is no suitable candidate for the brigade headquarters, so it is better to choose one from their regiment, first, to familiarize himself with the situation, and second, to make it easier for the brothers to accept."
Zhou Zhidao also nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, just do it, and temporarily appoint a person from their regiment to act as the commander first."
"Lvza, what do you think of Zhang Qingyun? As the chief of staff of the regiment, he temporarily commanded the brothers and did not gossip. ”
Zhou Zhidao frowned: "He has no experience in leading troops to fight before, and his qualifications are still shallow, so I don't think it's appropriate."
"I don't know what the brigade seat is, although Zhang Qingyun has no combat experience, but he is a serious military academy, this time I heard from the people below, he also came to the battlefield to lead the charge, as long as he honed a little, he must be a tiger general."
Seeing that Zhou Zhidao was still hesitating, the deputy brigade commander continued to add: "The first battalion commander Lu Xing has rich experience in leading troops, so he can help him more, we are now fighting a defensive war, Zhang Qingyun should be able to command competently, if the command performance is not good, just withdraw him at that time, anyway, it is also temporary."
Hearing the words of the deputy brigade commander, although the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao felt that it was inappropriate, he thought that it was only a temporary replacement, so he went: "Then you can notify me, remember, it is only a temporary replacement, if it doesn't work, it will be removed."
The deputy brigade commander said happily: "Don't worry, I will seriously convey your meaning."
