9.76 A military commander who wants to be a headmaster

According to the river defense plan issued by the Wuhan Military Commission, the defense force in the Madao fortress area was mainly composed of the garrison defenders and the 16th Army stationed in the nearby garrison area. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since the 16th Army is several times larger than the fortress defenders in terms of numbers, even Bao Changyi's Shangma Dang Fortress Commander Wang Xitao has to look at the face of Li Yunheng, the commander of the 16th Army, all the time, hoping to hold the fortress with the help of Li Yunheng's military strength.

How Bao Changyi hopes that Li Yunheng's 16th Army can be an iron army like the 99th Army, or a local anti-Japanese force like the 59th Army! In this way, the fortress can be consumed by the Japanese with its strong permanent fortifications and a large amount of material reserves! Maybe it's three months, maybe it's five months, Bao Changyi believes that he can completely delay the Japanese westward march into Wuhan and win more precious time for the defense of Wuhan!

It's a pity that it backfired! Not only is the 16th Army not a strong army, but Li Yunheng, who is the commander, is a complete bureaucrat!

To say something that shouldn't be said, fortunately, because of the existence of the Yellow Flood Area, the Japanese were not able to advance westward immediately after capturing Xuzhou. The construction of the fortress and the blocking line of the Yangtze River have been basically completed, and now with such a strong defense line on the river in his hands, Bao Changyi naturally will not worry about the attack from the river, and he even wishes that the Japanese ships will go up the Yangtze River so that the artillery of the fortress can exert its power.

But Bao Changyi knew in his heart that the Japanese could fight from North China to the hinterland of Central China, and the commander would definitely not be a straw bag! Recently, Japanese planes have frequently flown over the river near the fortress, sometimes skimming the water like swallows, apparently to reconnoiter the blockage on the water. Sometimes Japanese planes will also strafe the surface of the river with machine guns, and the water column that is stirred up by the explosion of the hit mine is more than 10 meters high, and it is impossible for the Japanese not to know the danger of the river here!

Yesterday evening, Wang Xitao also told Bao Changyi that the Japanese troops to capture Anqing landed about 20 kilometers downstream of Anqing, and Bao Changyi felt that the Japanese were likely to repeat their old tricks at Matao, bypassing the strong Jiangshang defense line of the fortress and landing in the garrison area of the 16th Army, and then bypassing the back of the fortress to the back of the fortress to carry out an attack!

As soon as he thought of this, Bao Changyi's heart became restless, he tightened the somewhat messy military uniform on his body that was blown by the river wind, and then turned around and hurried back to the command post, to get through the phone number of the 313th Regiment headquarters of the Xiangkou position in front of the Changshan position:

"I'm Captain Bao, looking for your regiment leader!"

"The regiment commander is not here, so I went to the military department to study at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University."

"Then let your chief of staff answer the phone!"

"The chief of staff is not here either! Now there is only one staff officer on duty left in the regiment headquarters, who just said that he had a stomachache and went to the thatched house! ”

"And who are you? What rank? What position? ”

"I'm Staff Officer Wang's orderly, corporal!"

After doing it for a long time, the person who talked to Bao Changyi on the phone was actually a non-commissioned officer! This made Bao Changyi a little angry!

As for the "Anti-Japanese Military and Political University" just mentioned, it is even more of a complete joke! I really don't know if Li Yunheng is the tendon is on the wrong line, and he will actually think of running a university at this critical juncture of the enemy!

"When is it, still pretending to be famous." Bao Changyi scolded indignantly, then hung up the phone and spat at the ground! Looking at the white river on the edge of the Changshan position, the incident of half a month ago gradually surfaced in Bao Changyi's heart.

At the end of July, Bao Changyi and Wang Xitao, commander of the fortress, received a notice from the 16th Army that the commander of the army, Li Yunheng, was going to hold an operational meeting in a large compound of blue bricks and blue tiles in the town of Madang, and read out the latest river defense plan of the Central Military Commission to the officers of the 16th Army at and above the regimental level and the principal officers of the Madao Fortress.

But when the meeting began, Li Yunheng completely deviated from the scheduled topic and directly threw out a plan that made everyone stunned - he, Li Yunheng, wanted to run a university!

Li Yunheng planned to summon the principal and deputy officers of various ministries and all platoon commanders for a two-week intensive training, and the township and security chiefs of Madang and Pengze would also participate in it, declaring to the outside world that the purpose of the training was to "unify the tactics of river defense."

"Isn't there a popular slogan right now called 'War of Resistance for All'? That's what I mean by doing this today... I've thought of the name, it's called 'Anti-Japanese Military and Political University'! What do you think?! ”

When Li Yunheng said the words "Anti-Japanese Military and Political University", his eyes flashed with excitement, obviously he had been planning this matter for a long time, and he never thought that anyone would object.

In peacetime, it is very common for the army to hold an intensive training class. But at that time, the Japanese army was already in Anqing and was about to move, but Li Yunheng still asked all units to draw out key officers to carry out the attack training, which was very inappropriate!

Originally, Bao Changyi had great objections to the Jiangfang command organization in the garrison area of Madang Fortress. He believes that since Wuhan has set up a Jiangfang Fortress Command. Then the Marine Corps should be under the control of the Jiangfang Fortress Command. But now there is another Madao Fortress Command and the Mahu District Fortress Command on the head of the Marine Corps, and Wang Xitao and Li Yunheng, who are the commanders, are both from the army, and they don't understand river defense and anti-landing operations at all!

It's not unheard of this kind of tragedy in which a layman commands an insider, so why doesn't it always grow!

So when he heard that Li Yunheng was going to run a "university" at this juncture, Bao Changyi couldn't help it anymore! He directly asked Li Yunheng: "At present, the war situation is becoming more and more urgent, and the officers are not on the front line to supervise the preparation for war, but they come to the training camp. What if something goes wrong? ”

"Brother, don't be so nervous! Where are the Japanese far away from here, what are you panicking about? ”

Before Li Yunheng could answer, Xue Weiying, the commander of the 167th Division under him, shouted, and then stood up and looked at Bao Changyi with disdain, and said in a weird manner: "Besides, aren't your marines still in control of Changshan Fortress!?" If nothing else, just the river, there are lead wire mesh, rocks and cement solidified blocks in the lower layer, and there are boulders with spikes in the upper layer, and there are mines on it. On the section of the river, which is only a few hundred meters, our army sank 39 ships, set up 30 reefs, and laid more than 2,000 mines. I would like to ask Captain Bao, what kind of enemy ships can pass through such a river, ah? Hahaha......"

Xue Weiying's mockery and presumptuous attitude were echoed by the officers of the 16th Army. In the face of the army's unreasonable trouble, Bao Changyi slapped the table on the spot, stood up and shouted: "You have the idea of defense, don't the Japanese have a way to break it!?" Didn't the Yangtze River estuary also sink the ship? So many mines were also chiseled on the Nanjing River, did they finally stop the Japanese!? ”

Bao Changyi's words were supported by Wang Xitao, the commander of the fortress, and as the defenders of the fortress and the army confronted each other, the venue reached a stalemate.

Since the Madao Fortress had the right to directly contact Wuhan, Li Yunheng did not dare to force the defenders of the fortress, so he could only change a more relaxed attitude and continue to persuade the defenders of the fortress:

"Calm down, everybody! I also set up this university to defend the fortress Jiangfang! The reason why it was only held for two weeks was because it was wartime! But I don't think the Japanese will be able to get here for a while. Don't say anything else, let's just say that Anqing is a pass, and the Japanese have not thought of stepping through it for a month or two! If we use this time to conduct intensive training, unify the tactics of river defense, and harmonize the relations between various units, I think it will be beneficial to the war situation......

Bao Changyi did not buy Li Yunheng's battle, and he retorted on the basis of reason: "The Japanese have now appeared on the periphery of Anqing, once the war starts, who can guarantee that the defenders of Anqing will definitely be able to withstand it for a month or two?" I believe that at present, all units should pay close attention to improving the fortifications and increasing the material reserves, which is the best policy. ”

After Bao Changyi said this, he saw that Li Yunheng did not change his mind in the slightest, so he continued: "If Commander Li must run a school, please forgive the officers of the Changshan position who cannot participate, and I will take leave on their behalf here." ”

Being so confronted by Bao Changyi, Li Yunheng was naturally very unhappy, but he thought about it, after all, the number of officers under Bao Changyi was not large, and they belonged to the naval sequence, so if he really didn't come, forget it! Save yourself the hassle! So Li Yunheng approved the request for leave of the officers guarding the Changshan position on the spot.

On August 10, the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University opened as scheduled in Madao Town. Nearly 100 military officers and township and security chiefs from the Madao and Hukou areas gathered together. Looking at the officers in military uniforms, the squires in robes and horse coats, and some security chiefs in the costumes of the croppers in sweat coats, Wang Xitao, the commander of the Ma Yuan Fortress, who couldn't get out of the situation, could only shake his head and smile bitterly!

What tactics can be unified in this kind of messy and mixed training class? Buddha bless, the Japanese must not kill at this time!

"Captain! There's a group of people behind our position! Look at the military uniform on his body, it doesn't look like that of the 16th Army! Do you want to send some brothers over for questioning? ”

The report of the officer on duty interrupted Bao Changyi's thoughts, and a team of men and horses emerged from behind the position? Isn't that the direction of Madao Town? The officer on duty said that the person was wearing a different military uniform, could it be that Li Yunheng also issued new uniforms to his "students"?

This Li Yunheng is really willing to spend his blood!

Captain Bao, who was a little stupid, raised his binoculars and looked in the direction pointed by the officer's finger on duty, but what Bao Changyi didn't expect was that there were actually a few blonde and blue-eyed German advisers among the people who came.

The navy, as a branch of the army with a generally high level of officers and soldiers, can be said to be very familiar with German advisers! If it weren't for Hitler's order to withdraw all German advisers in China, Bao Changyi's Second Marine Corps would also have German advisers.

Although we have heard of an alliance between Germany and Japan, we have not heard of Germans helping the Japanese army, so it seems that these visitors behind the positions are friendly forces......
