……………………………………………………
At a time when the Soviet-Chinese battlefield turned from a fierce battle to a confrontation, there were new changes in the form of other battlefields across the country.
In the northwest of Henan, Wu Peifu, who abandoned Luoyang City, became extremely flexible, and he led more than 80,000 troops to take the surrounding areas of Luoyang as the foundation, and constantly entangled with the First Group Army of the National Defense Army. Several large-scale encounters broke out between the two sides. The First Army had a slight advantage in strength, but as a result, it suffered several small losses, and this series of performances made Hu Jingyi and others extremely cautious.
Command of the 1st Army.
"Commander, you should still sit in Luoyang City! Let me lead the battle. Our national defense force is the ancestor of sports warfare, and although Wu Peifu is cunning, he may not be our opponent. Qian Yansheng said confidently.
"No, Wu Peifu has a lot of troops in his hands, small-scale troops are useless to him, large-scale sports warfare has high requirements for soldiers, and we don't have many troops in our hands to meet the requirements, in this case, we can only give up the reserve army, concentrate elite troops, get rid of the restrictions of the city, and fight a sports war with Wu Peifu." Hu Jingyi said in a deep voice. The fact that the Wehrmacht is good at sports warfare does not mean that Hu Jingyi is also good at it. However, Hu Jingyi has a good sense of the overall situation and decisiveness, coupled with the assistance of Qian Yansheng and Zhou Bo, who have experienced many battles, so that he has an intuitive understanding of sports warfare. In the end, he decided that it might be a good choice to break the sports war with sports.
"What about the reserves?" Qian Yansheng said.
"I have telegraphed to the front headquarters that we will leave 50,000 people to guard Luoyang City, and the remaining 120,000 people will all be sent to the Second Army. Now the Second Army is flying frantically, and it needs a large number of troops to defend the place. Hu Jingyi said.
"That's fine, but I heard that Commander Zhenzhen is about to hit Hubei, and this time Beiyang has been turned upside down by him." Speaking of this, Qian Yansheng's eyes were full of envy. As a fierce general, what he wants to do most is to lead his elite soldiers, go deep behind enemy lines, and take the head of the general in the army of ten thousand. This heroic complex is what motivates him to become a fierce general.
"This time, I am going to divide my troops into two routes, and the most elite of them is the first division, which is under your command. The joint action of our two armies will be able to compress Wu Peifu's living space to the greatest extent possible. The most important thing is to prevent him from running to other battlefields. Hu Jingyi said.
"Commander, will this distract the troops! Without a reserve army, our troops do not have an advantage, and if we divide our troops again, it is easy for Wu Peifu to seize the opportunity to break them all! Qian Yansheng couldn't help frowning.
Hu Jingyi had a smile on his face, Qian Yansheng had a strong personality, a bold temper, and looked rude if he was informal, but the more rough the men in the army, the more popular they were. In the final analysis, the army is still a man's world, and the battlefield is a man's stage. If Qian Yansheng was just a reckless man who couldn't understand anything, he would definitely not have today's status. In the current war, just with the courage to fight, being a battalion commander will be heavenly. Among the generals in the Wehrmacht who can sit firmly above the regimental level of military commander, which one does not have two brushes.
"Of course I know that, so we're not evenly splitting the forces. You only have the 1st Wehrmacht Division under your command. Do you know why I didn't replenish it with new recruits after the last time the 1st Division suffered heavy losses? In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the 1st Division. Now I will replenish a group of recovered lightly wounded to the first division to ensure the combat effectiveness of the first division, so that even if the first division faces the Beiyang army alone, you will have the strength to resist. What's more, although we are divided into two roads, the distance between them should not exceed ten miles, and the march of the first division is as much as possible to hide the eyes and ears of the Beiyang Army, so that it can also play the role of a surprise soldier. This is also possible only for the 1st Division. Hu Jingyi said solemnly. ..., Qian Yansheng frowned and said, "Commander, although your plan is feasible, it is quite difficult. We are now in Beiyang's territory, and it is definitely not easy for the two armies to completely cover one. ”
Hu Jingyi nodded. He knew there was difficulty, and it was very difficult. But because of the difficulty, once you succeed, the greater the results.
"But I have faith in the First Division, we can give it a try!" Qian Yansheng said with some excitement. During this time, although the First Army had many battles with the Beiyang Army, Wu Peifu did not fight with them, and every time he touched and left, he couldn't use their strength.
As soon as the First Group Army made a move, Wu Peifu received the news, after all, after Luoyang fell into the hands of the National Defense Forces, many of the common people returned. For these indigenous people, the Wehrmacht could not drive them out. As an important town in the northwest, how many people are there in Luoyang City? It was easy for Wu Peifu to mix some spies in it. Of course, these spies can only detect some unclassified information, and confidential information can be accessed by ordinary people.
But when Wu Peifu got that there were more than 100,000 troops in Luoyang City to go out of the east of the city, even Wu Peifu's mind was confused.
During this time, the main force of the Wehrmacht wandered around Luoyang City, and the two sides fought several times because the Beiyang Army coveted Luoyang City and wanted to destroy the reserve army of nearly 200,000 people of the Wehrmacht. But Hu Jingyi was very cautious, so that Wu Peifu's several plans were in vain. Now that the national defense army has suddenly transferred more than 100,000 people, the defenders in the entire Luoyang City are less than 50,000 people, and the sharpness of Luoyang City's urban defense has greatly reduced the attractiveness of Luoyang City to Wu Peifu.
"Report to Yushuai, the Wehrmacht has moved. Heading to the East! Wu Peifu's horse exploration report.
"It seems that they are going to escort that recruit army, and order the troops to leave immediately, and we will also go east!" Wu Peifu said. His recruits were wiped out by the Wehrmacht during the decisive battle of Luoyang. And in the end, the sacrifice of the recruits did not achieve the expected results, which made Wu Peifu very unwilling. This is also the reason why he wanted to cross the main force of the Wehrmacht several times and attack Luoyang City. As long as the recruits behind the First Army are eliminated, they will not only be able to avenge the revenge of the First Army, but will also be able to blow the morale of the Wehrmacht and affect the judgment of the Wehrmacht generals, which will be of great benefit to the Beiyang Army in fighting in adversity.
While Wu Peifu was looking for fighters, the main force of the Second Group Army finally got rid of all kinds of difficulties, approached the banks of the Yangtze River, and pointed directly at Wuhan, the capital of Hubei.
The general of the Wuhan garrison is Feng Guozhang's confidant, and his direct cadre Wang Zhanyuan. The main force of the Beiyang Army went north to resist the southward movement of the National Defense Army, and most of the elite troops in the provinces were transferred, and the two lakes were naturally the focus of it. Later, the Second Group Army frantically moved south, aiming directly at Wuhan, and the Beiyang Army once again concentrated all the troops of the two lakes in order to protect the Hanyang Arsenal in Wuhan, and sent Wang Zhanyuan to lead the Yangtze River to prevent the National Defense Army from crossing the Yangtze River relying on the Yangtze River.
It is now late May, more than half a month before the rainy season of the Yangtze River, the water volume of the Yangtze River is not large, but the Yangtze River, as the first river in China, is still extremely wide even in the dry season. The Wehrmacht has nothing to do when they enter here.
Now that the Beiyang has blocked the surface of the Yangtze River, there is not even a single fishing boat in sight on the originally busy river. Without ships, the Wehrmacht, no matter how powerful it is, will not be able to get by.
Riverside Command.
"Report to the commander, the scouts have reported that they have traveled 20 miles along the river, and all the fishing boats have been requisitioned and transferred by the Beiyang, and the people can hardly find big fishing boats." Said the operational staff officer.
"Let the reconnaissance battalion expand the search area, as long as the fishing boats that can cross the river are found, and in addition, find more boatmen." Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice......
"Commander, the boatman is easy to find, but we can't get through without a suitable boat!"
"Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, there will always be a way." Zhen Zhen said ambiguously. ..., at the same time, will be opposite the city of Hanyang.
Wang Zhanyuan's brows were furrowed, the 200,000 troops of the National Defense Army came over, and the pressure on him was not small, although there was a natural danger on the Yangtze River, but Wang Zhanyuan was still a little unsure.
"Report to the general, there is an urgent telegram from the scouts across the river, the Wehrmacht is collecting fishing boats and boatmen along the river, and they have searched for ten miles, and so far they have found only a few dozen small boats. The Wehrmacht is expanding the search area. ”
"Humph! I had already cleared all the fishing boats within a 100-mile radius on the other side of Wuhan, and it was a fool's dream for the Wehrmacht to find a large boat that could carry many people. Order all parties to scout more than one another, and if special circumstances are discovered. Report immediately. Wang Zhanyuan said in a deep voice.
For a whole day, the Wehrmacht soldiers were given only 100 small boats, and even if they were all on board, they could carry at most two or three hundred people at a time. On the other side of Beiyang, there are more than 100,000 people, and although they are all local troops, it is no problem to deal with a small force of a few hundred people.
Knowing this information, Wang Zhanyuan was relieved, at least tonight, the national defense forces were not capable of crossing the river. So Wang Zhanyuan ordered the soldiers guarding the river to be more vigilant, and went back to his official residence to rest. The police chief of Hanyang City just gave himself a little lady who is like a flower, and I heard that she is still a famous Peking Opera actor. Wang Zhanyuan is not very addicted to women, but he has a special preference for opera. If it weren't for the fact that the Wehrmacht would not be able to cross the river tonight, Wang Zhanyuan would not have been so relaxed.
As the night wore on, the Wehrmacht camp was heavily guarded and brightly lit, with pairs of soldiers patrolling. The young people can't get close to it at all.
Thirty miles from the Wehrmacht camp, in a valley on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, lurked densely packed with soldiers. They looked at the river one by one, and at ten o'clock in the evening, a large fleet appeared on the river, and a bonfire was immediately raised in the valley by the river, and then the fleet slowly approached. Then the dense soldiers began to board the ship and silently crossed the Yangtze River, which is known as a moat. It took an hour for this huge force to be completely sent to the other side of the river, and then the fleet did not hesitate to turn around and head for the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Soon disappeared into the night.
