"It is said that General ** served in this unit and was the commander of the first division of this army during the Northern Expedition. \\.qВ五、c0m\" Ota added, and sure enough, he saw a satisfied smile on Honma's face.

"Yo Sai," Honma Masaharu perked up, spread his legs apart, and held his command knife in both hands, "Order the sappers to speed up and let the tank pass first." ”

Assault boats shuttled back and forth, a large number of Japanese troops landed on the south bank, and the sappers on the river were busy building bridges, and the gunfire on the south bank became more intense.

Compared with Honma Masaharu's ease, Hu Zongnan was very angry and angry, he didn't know how the situation became like this. As a result, he took the 78th Division to the bank of the Yellow River and rushed to the bank of the Yellow River overnight, but the Japanese army had already crossed the river, but fortunately there were not many Japanese troops crossing the river, so he was surrounded on the beach.

In the telescope, the battle on the front line was very fierce, the shallow trenches could not provide sufficient cover for the soldiers, the cold weather froze the ground hard, and the soldiers who arrived in a hurry did not have the right tools to dig the trenches, barely digging such a shallow trench, and now they were in such trenches to resist Japanese artillery fire.

In the depths, officers are directing soldiers to dig trenches and build fortifications. The gunfire at the front gradually became quieter, and the Japanese army retreated again, but Hu Zongnan did not have a smile on his face, his brows were still deeply wrinkled, and his anxious look was overflowing. He and Li Wen, commander of the 78th Division, and Lin Yuesheng, deputy commander of the 78th Division, each led a brigade to block the attack in three directions, but there was no news from those two roads at all. A brigade blocking a division is already thin, but now he has no other way.

The communications officer in the headquarters was hysterically calling the other two brigades, and Hu Zongnan put down the binoculars and was very displeased: "Why haven't you called through yet?" How to do it! ”

Hu Zongnan asked again: "Where is Song Xilian going?" ”

Wu Yunzhou, chief of staff of the 78th Division, hurriedly replied: "They have arrived in Huang'an. ”

"How did you get to Huang'an," Hu Zongnan's tone was a little annoyed.

"It's not slow, army commander," Wu Yunzhou hurriedly persuaded: "They set off overnight, marching hundreds of miles in one night, and it's really difficult for them." ”

"Embarrassed for them?" Hu Zongnan asked unhappily: "The military situation waits for no one, if we can't catch up, let the Japanese cross the river with the whole army, and affect the development of the entire campaign, none of us can afford this responsibility." ”

Wu Yunzhou sighed and was silent, he knew that Hu Zongnan was in a hurry, but he also couldn't complain about Song Xilian, according to the original battle plan, the focus of the war was on the northern and southern fronts, the southern front was to annihilate Gu Shoufu, and the goal of the northern front was to attack the 109th Division and the 32nd Division in Fei County, according to this plan, Song Xilian's arrangement in Jining was very appropriate. But in the first war zone, the vulnerability of the weak troops in the direction of Heze was immediately exposed, and Song Xilian had to march forcefully to arrive.

"What a battle this is fighting!" Wu Yunzhou couldn't help but complain: "Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are just transferring the pressure to us, and Commander Zhuang is really right, why don't you fight according to reason." ”

"What are you talking this nonsense for! How do you know he's not fighting? Hu Zongnan said angrily that since receiving the order, the mood of the officers of the First Army has fluctuated a little, and it is difficult to block the 100,000 Japanese troops with 35,000 people of the First Army and the First Army, and according to the order, Heze will leave a division, and the actual number of people who can be put into battle is only 20,000, and the Japanese army is five times its own, and only by the Yellow River can the Japanese army be blocked, once they are allowed to cross the river, these 20,000 people will definitely not be able to stop the Japanese attack on this endless plain.

"I got in touch, Division Commander Li called," the communications officer looked up and shouted: "The 24th Division of the Japanese Army crossed the river at Dongkou and Jiucheng, Division Commander Li led the 467th Regiment and 572nd Regiment to block in Dongkou, and Brigade Commander Li led the 468th Regiment to block in Yangzhuang, with heavy casualties, Division Commander Li asked for reinforcements. ”

"Reinforcements? I don't have any soldiers here, so tell him to resist! Hold on for at least two days! Hu Zongnan said angrily.

"Army commander," Wu Yunzhou hurriedly persuaded: "Division Commander Li's troops are a little weak, so it is better to transfer a battalion from the regiment directly under the army." ”

"There is only one regiment in the reserve in total, and if Song Xilian can't arrive on time, what will happen in the future?" Hu Zongnan said anxiously that the division and three brigades were divided into three ways to resist the enemy, which was originally a helpless choice, and it was weak everywhere to resist everywhere and passive everywhere.

"Deputy Division Commander Lin is calling," the communications officer ran over again: "The Tanaka Brigade of the 17th Division of the Japanese Army is crossing the river in Beidong Village, and Deputy Division Commander Lin is fighting fiercely with the enemy. ”

Hu Zongnan nodded slightly, fortunately, he didn't ask for help, now the situation is basically clear, looking at the situation on the other side, he calmed down a little and said: "Send two battalions from the regiment directly under him to reinforce Li Wen, tell him that this is the last reinforcement, there are no more troops, let him use his troops carefully." ”

Wu Yunzhou was a little stunned, but he didn't expect Hu Zongnan to give two battalions at once, and he didn't consider the reserves? Without waiting for him to ask, Hu Zongnan said again: "Send a telegram to Song Xilian, order him to arrive before eight o'clock tonight, and tell him that the situation here is extremely tense and the troops are not enough." In addition, Li Tiejun was ordered to send a brigade to the front line. ”

Wu Yunzhou was really stunned at this time, and couldn't help asking: "Commander Zhuang has a clear order, Heze must have a division to defend." ”

"The general will be disapproved by the order of the king outside, you look at this situation, Honma Masaharu on the other side has not reacted yet, if he crosses the river in two or three places like Li Wen, I will immediately have to be blind here, besides, even if one brigade is transferred, doesn't he have two brigades there, and one division is not two brigades before the reorganization. Let Deputy Division Commander Yu bring the troops over. Hu Zongnan's tone was calm, he wanted to explain, but also complained, and finally ordered Yu Chengwan's general.

Zhuang Jihua once explained to him in private, ready to transfer Yu Chengwan to the 49th Group Army, Hu Zongnan knew what Zhuang Jihua meant, he thought that Yu Chengwan's official was low, and Hu Zongnan was also ready to release him, but then Zhuang Jihua was gone, he estimated that either there was no suitable position, or the war was tense and forgot. However, Yu Chengwan can indeed fight, although he is also a classmate, Li Tiejun is closer to him.

Song Xilian received a telegram on the road, he was different from others, others marched on horseback, he was in a car, Zhuang Jihua gave him a new production jeep of the Southwest Automobile Factory, although it was cold in winter, it was very comfortable in summer, this time knowing that the military situation was urgent, he simply moved the radio station to the car and let the operator drive with him at the same time.

After receiving the telegram, he parked the car on the side of the road and took a deep breath: "Call back, my department, we must arrive on time." ”

Then he called the chief of staff: "Order the troops to be lightly armed, and throw away all except weapons and ammunition." ”

"Commander, the troops have been marching all night and are already very tired, and now they should order the troops to stop and rest." The chief of staff reminded anxiously.

"No, Hu Zongnan is already complaining there." Song Xilian looked at the troops walking hurriedly on the road, although there were snowflakes floating in the sky, the foreheads of the soldiers were beads of sweat, exhaling and immediately condensing into white mist, floating into the air, forming a long strip of white mist above the team.

Song Xilian gritted his teeth: "Order the troops, speed up, and be sure to rush to the ferry today." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the operator shouted again: "Commander, Chief Hu is in a hurry." ”

The adjutant took it and handed it to Song Xilian, who saw that it read: "Division Commander Li led his troops to block the Japanese 24th Division at Dongkou and Yangzhuang west of Zhencheng, and ordered you to divide your troops to reinforce Division Commander Li." ”

"Call back, obey the order, deputy commander Zhong Bin led the 176th Division to reinforce Li Wen."

After all that was said,. Song Xilian couldn't help but sigh, his unit was placed in Jining, and it was originally prepared to be a knife inserted into the back of the Japanese army when the 10th Division came to the rescue when the siege and annihilation battle of Feixian County began, but he didn't expect it to become a firefighting team at this moment.

"You go horseback riding, and the chief of staff will follow me to the car." Song Xilian pointed and pointed at the adjutant and pulled the chief of staff to the car.

Xuzhou Lanyundong moved northward, and this information was quickly transmitted to the North China Front Army Headquarters through the Shanghai Mei organ and the Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters.

"Gentlemen, at present, the progress of the First Army is going very well, but the intelligence from the Nanjing Headquarters indicates that the 49th Group Army, the first strong army, has set off for the north, and the gentlemen said what the ** general is going to do?"

"Your Excellency, the purpose of the four divisions under General Honma's command is to attack the flank of the ** army, and of course the ** general will not allow them to smoothly insert themselves behind his flank." Eto said.

Sugiyama Yuan nodded slightly, and Jiang Teng was a little excited and continued: "The 49th Group Army is the last reserve of General **, and it may also be the counterattack force he prepared. ”

"Yo Xi, it's good," Sugiyama Mototo was about to order, but suddenly saw a trace of worry in Ligao's supportive eyes, so he asked, "Ligao-kun, what do you think?" ”

At this moment, Ligao's support was both happy and worried, happy that Zhuang Jihua had become a nightmare for the Japanese, and worried that if Honma Masaharu succeeded in meeting with Gu Shoufu, the main force of the five theaters would be encircled, and the favorable situation formed before would come to naught.

"Humble position, a little strange," Li Gao's brain turned rapidly, remembering that at the school, Professor Zhuang Jihua's inducement decision-making, this technology has never had the opportunity to use it, this time the risk to use it, see if there is any effect: "Humble position is a little strange, according to the intelligence from the Mei organ last time, ** in the first war zone concentrated a large number of elite troops, these troops are modeled after the 49th Group Army, equipped with German and Chongqing-made weapons, the total strength of about 300,000, this force peacekeeping did not appear on the battlefield?" If the purpose of the 49th Group Army going north is to encircle General Honma's four divisions with Xue Yue in the First War Zone, so that the ** Army will have nearly 500,000 men and horses, General Honma's situation will be very difficult, it is better to order General Honma to stop crossing the river now, and wait for General Tani Toshio to fight to Yongcheng, or General Yoshio Shinoha to occupy Yanzhou before crossing the river. ”

"Nonsense!" Jiang Teng was furious and couldn't help but stand up and point to Ligao support: "** people have no ability to eat 100,000 imperial troops at all, if you want to eat General Honma, you need at least 800,000 ** troops!" ”

If Zhuang Jihua was present, he would definitely jump up and hug him and gnaw wildly, and at the same time turned around and scolded Li Gao for support, you are a dog, what are you helping over there.
