Chapter Seventy-Six: A New Command

4.76 New Commands

The officers in Nanjing were playing with their careful thoughts, and Huang Haoran, the army commander, was also going to start having a headache. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The idea of a counterattack by the highest authorities is nothing short of fantastical! It was not easy to block the offensive of the two divisions of the Japanese army with the existing strength of the 15th Group Army, and the 99th Army and the 18th Army were in the process of moving to the front line of Baoshan and Luodian, with men and horses on the road and equipment dismantled into parts.

Counterattack!? It's really a powerless thing!

Of course, Vice Chairman Chen will not refute the ideas of the supreme authorities, because he, the "junior chairman," is very aware of the temper of the supreme authorities, and the old man is most afraid that someone will confront him in front of others, so that he will not be able to step down.

The highest authorities hold grudges very much!

Vice Chief Chen knew that as long as he faithfully carried out this counterattack plan, he would earn enough impression points in the hearts of the highest authorities, and as for whether he won the battle or not, he didn't need to care too much.

Since the "77 Incident," the Chinese army has lost many battles, but it is always the officers of the local factions and the members of the forces in the Nanjing government who are not pleasing to the eyes of the highest authorities in Nanjing.

Doesn't all of this say a lot?

Therefore, this time, as usual, Vice Minister Chen gave instructions to the highest authorities to obey orders, and did not mean to discount them in the slightest.

The counterattack order was sent out of Vice Chief Chen's general office and sent to Luo Zhuoying's headquarters.

Commander Luo is a complete slippery head, he knows that the transfer of the 99th Army and the 18th Army is about to be completed, and at this time, let the troops turn around and re-enter the battle, and the commanders will definitely have objections.

So Commander Luo forwarded the message sent by the general assembly to all the ministries as it was, and when they saw the name of the supreme authority and Vice Minister Chen appear at the end of the message, all the commanders wisely chose to keep their mouths shut.

In this attack plan made by the War Department of the Ministry of National Defense in accordance with the instructions of the highest authorities, the 99th Army, a "trump card" unit that does not belong to any faction and has no bigwigs to follow, has once again become the protagonist of the counterattack.

Huang Haoran had already expected the result of the 99th Army when he saw the beginning of the message.

In fact, it is easy to think that the Chinese troops gathered in Shanghai today can basically have something to do with the bigwigs of the Ministry of National Defense, and since the attitude of the highest authorities has been explored by them, of course, none of these people will be willing to send their baby bumps to be the pioneer.

Although there are still some miscellaneous units in the 15th Group Army's combat sequence that have just arrived in Shanghai, if these units are put into battle, it is difficult to guarantee that the local powerful factions will not give them a big hat of "supporting the army and respecting themselves and excluding dissidents," and public opinion will also criticize.

Therefore, the vanguard of this counterattack can only be the Central Army, and it must be a unit with a certain combat effectiveness.

Huang Haoran's 99th Army stood out from the dozen divisions in Songhu and became everyone's unanimous choice.

As compensation, the 99th Army was replenished with three new battalions at one time, and the weapons and equipment in stock would also be given priority to the 99th Army.

A slap and a sweet date, the generals of the Ministry of Defense actually played such a child's game with the 99th Army, which can be regarded as giving Huang Haoran enough face.

The 99th Army's record in Songhu is indeed outstanding, and the outstanding ones are a bit unlike a Chinese army.

It was precisely because of this series of achievements and Nanjing's many awards that Huang Haoran's 99th Army began to be isolated by the Central Army fighting in Songhu, and now it has become the best candidate for "shielding".

Huang Haoran began to appreciate the feeling of Zhang Lingfu's integrated 74th Division when it was completely annihilated by the People's Liberation Army in Menglianggu.

The 99th Army, the "outlier" in the Central Army, once again paid the price for its "outrageousness"!

According to the order of the general assembly, the 99th Army can turn around, occupy the original position, and then attack with the cooperation of the 18th Army!

The whole army turned! Easy to say!

The army of 20,000 people completely withdrew from the firefighting area more than an hour ago, and now the team is very scattered, the front has already withdrawn through Baoshan and Luodian, and the temporary 12th Brigade behind the rear hall is still fighting to the death with the 11th Division, and now these troops are going to turn 180 degrees and return to the position before departure, so what is the reason for the temporary 12th Brigade to lose more than 1,000 casualties in more than an hour?

Is it to test the troops' ability to train in the field?

The 99th Army has been fighting for many days and has reached the stage where it needs to be reorganized, if Shangfeng only allows the 99th Army to rely on the original defense line to block the 11th Division, then Huang Haoran can still do it.

But the current order is for the 99th Army to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, which is simply a gift to the 11th Division!

The Japanese armored units and artillery have already landed ashore, and the cavalry and infantry are also landing one after another, and the devils on land will become stronger and stronger.

Once the 99th Army and the 18th Army could not drive the Japanese army off the beach as planned, then the 11th Division would inevitably launch a counterattack, and when the time came, 20,000 officers and soldiers would be defeated by the Japanese army.

In fact, it is no longer possible for the 99th Army and the 18th Army to drive the 11th Division into the sea, which means that the plan of the General Assembly is doomed to a tragic end from the beginning.

Therefore, Huang Haoran was unwilling to carry out this order in his heart.

Fan Jie saw that Huang Haoran's expression was getting more and more ugly, and knew that these telegrams might not have any good news, but the troops behind the palace were still fighting with the Japanese army, and there were officers and soldiers dying every minute.

"Junzuo, Xie Wen is still fighting with the Japanese army in the east, should we use Brigade Commander Shen's 301 Brigade to take them next? The 535th Regiment and the Engineer Regiment have been stationed in Luodian, the 533rd Regiment has arrived in Baoshan County, and the Artillery Regiment has also arrived at the designated position, so it's time for the 12th Brigade to withdraw."

Shen Laoer, who had already finished reading the contents of the telegram by Huang Haoran's side, was ignited by Fan Jie's words, and he jumped three feet high and scolded:

"What the fuck are you withdrawing!? The gang of masters from the general assembly came with the latest instructions, asking us to cooperate with the 18th Army to launch a counterattack against the 11th Division! His grandma's! Lao Tzu blocked the 11th Division on the beach and didn't give us reinforcements when they beat it, and now we can't move, but we got the order to counterattack! Is the Ministry of Defense helping the Japanese or trying to fight the Japanese? A bunch of bureaucrats! Eater! ......”

"Enough!" Huang Haoran also had nowhere to send the fire in his belly, and it was really unreasonable for Shen Lao Er to scold like this in the military department, so Huang Haoran couldn't help but stop.

"An order is an order! Now that the order has arrived with us, we have to find a way to carry it out! Military law is ruthless! ”

"Boss! No way! You're still going to carry out such a bullshit order!? What kind of bullshit Chen Cichang, when he came to Wucheng to find his eldest brother, I didn't like this dwarf! A treacherous face! He is going to use the hands of the Japanese to destroy our 99th Army! His 18th Army couldn't beat us in the war, and our 99th Army suppressed the limelight, so he was retaliating! I, Shen Laoer, am not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of the Japanese! But for such a royal order to send to death! Lao Tzu is not convinced~! ”

After speaking, Shen Lao Er grabbed the steel helmet on his head, threw it on the ground, and rolled out of the ......

"Second Shen! You're against you! In front of whom do you call Lao Tzu? Mouth full of bullshit! If I don't teach you any more, you're going to heaven! ”

Huang Haoran also threw off the steel helmet, and seeing that the eldest brother was angry, Shen Yuanlong had no choice but to flash to the side and look at Huang Haoran pitifully.

"Actually, I don't blame Brigade Commander Shen, if the general assembly really wants us to attack the 11th Division, we really can't do it, not only is it not easy for the troops to turn, but the order that has not yet been executed will be changed, and the troops below will inevitably be at a loss, and there will be problems in coordination, maybe some will go east and some will go west, and it will be chaotic!"

Wang Huanzhi hurriedly stood up to play a round, but he didn't approve of counterattacking, in his opinion, the eldest brother's capital has lost a lot, it's time to mend it, as for the cooperation of the 18th Army, Wang Huanzhi is even less cold, when the 18th Army retreated before, it was the 99th Army that first pulled out the camp and then notified, and he was not afraid of the dark after seeing ghosts?

Working with such allies, you have to keep one eye open when you fall asleep!
