7.139 Xuzhou Breakout

"Accidents, what accidents will there be?"

At first, the highest authorities were still a little angry, but when they heard Huang Haoran say that he would win and that the bandit orchestra would not be able to escape, the brows of the highest authorities were relaxed again!

Who doesn't love a winning bet? What's more, this battle was also put in the face of the highest authorities!

"In fact, it is nothing more than the communication problem between the generals of the Central Army and Xue Boling, the commission, Tang Enbo's performance in Xuzhou has offended many people in the Central Army, and you don't want to let go of Tufeiyuan because of such a difference, right?"

Huang Haoran's words made the highest authorities fall into deep thought, and the highest authorities could not be clearer about the virtues of these generals of the Central Army under their command! What Huang Haoran said was all inspired by feelings, if Tang Enbo remained unmoved in the battle of the northern front of Jinpu Road, then the entire Annihilation of the Isogu Division would be in vain! Maybe Xuzhou had fallen a month ago! However, it is a little uneasy to hand over the power of life and death to Xue Yue's highest authorities! After all, Xue Yue is not the cunning Li Delin, and he won't think about doing things! If Xue Yue was given the sword, what would Xue Yue do if he was in a hurry and beheaded the Huangpu generals under the highest authority?

That's right! It's better to hand over Shang Fang's sword to Huang Haoran! Huang Haoran looked at the generals of the Central Army for Xue Yue! Huang Haoran did a good job in Xuzhou before! It did not let the people of the Central Army suffer, but also won the battle! Why don't you take this experience to the 1st war zone and use it again?

Thinking of this, the gaze of the highest authorities looking at Huang Haoran began to change differently.....

Huang Haoran felt the psychological change of the highest authorities, and it was this result that he wanted!

Coming to the 1st War Zone to fight soil and fertilizer can not only make up for Huang Haoran's regret of missing Isoya Ryosuke, but also justifiably avoid the errand of garrisoning Wuhan! When the battle on the Longhai Line ends, the Battle of Wuhan will begin! At that time, the highest authorities will not attack Huang Haoran's 25th Army! Maybe I have to give Huang Haoran a few more divisions!

So after this conversation, Huang Haoran became the deputy commander of the 1st Theater of Operations, and he also got the Shang Fang Sword that disposed of the officers of the Central Army!

However, before taking office, Huang Haoran had another errand, that is, to lead his 25th Army out of Xuzhou!

*************************************************

After the Battle of Taierzhuang, Huang Haoran found Chief Li and asked for his 25th Army to withdraw to Henan for rest, and with the help of Chief Li, most of the 99th Army and the 100th Army were successively drawn from the 5th Theater at the end of April and early May and went to Xuchang to rest and recuperate.

When the retreat order of the Military Commission arrived in Xuzhou, only the 55th Division of the 29th Army and the General Guard Regiment of the 25th Army remained in Xuzhou.

On 27 May, Commander Li ordered all units in the 5th Theater to deploy and break through the siege one by one in sequence. ordered Townenburg's corps to break through to the west and violently assault the Japanese army; He also ordered Sun Lianzhong, Zhang Zizhong, and Pang Bingxun to fortify the canal and hold on to cover the retreat of the army.

The Chinese army fought and retreated, and the formation was not chaotic, and it retreated to the west and south in an orderly manner. Breaking through several lines of defense of the Japanese army, hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops gathered in southern Henan and northern Hubei, and all roads broke out of the encirclement one after another. In order to avoid a war of attrition with a superior enemy, when the Japanese troops from all walks of life were encircling Xuzhou step by step, Chief Li ordered the defenders of all directions under his command to retreat to the mountainous areas and lakes and marshes after a little resistance, and to carry out guerrilla warfare of "breaking the whole into pieces."

On the evening of May 28, more than 700 officers and men of the Commander's Department passed through Suxian and Mengcheng at night, crossed the encirclement of the Japanese army and moved to Huangchuan.

Liu Ruming's troops, who stayed in Xuzhou City, ambushed the Japanese 9th Division in the area of Xiao County, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese troops of the 9th Division. Seeing that most of the Chinese army had withdrawn, the Japanese army attempted to besiege and annihilate Liu Ruming's troops in Xuzhou. Huang Haoran instructed Liu Ruming to delay as much time as possible, and when the armies from all walks of life were exhausted, he could abandon the city and retreat.

Due to the heavy losses of the Japanese army in North China in the Battle of Taierzhuang, which led to a serious shortage of troops to attack Xuzhou, the 9th Division was unable to break through the Xuzhou city defense under the strategy of the surrounding Chinese troops, and was taken advantage of the 29 nights of heavy rain by Liu Ruming to rush out of Xuzhou. Not only did the 9th Division fail to defeat Liu Ruming's troops, but it also failed to capture even a high-ranking Chinese officer.

According to the deployment of Chief Li, Zhang Zizhong commanded the 59th Army and the 21st and 27th Divisions to be responsible for the rear of the palace in the Xuzhou breakout and cover the retreat of the army. After completing the task, drive to Xuchang to assemble. This is not only Chief Li's trust in Zhang Zizhong, but also a more severe test for Chief Li to Zhang Zizhong.

Since the Huaihe Operation, Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army has been fighting continuously for more than three months, and there are now less than two of the five infantry brigades of the whole army, and it is urgent to withdraw from the battlefield for rectification. Therefore, it is really difficult for Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army, which suffered heavy casualties, to assume the heavy responsibility of the palace.

If such an errand falls on someone like Towneberg, then the lawsuit must not be brought to the highest authorities? But Zhang Zizhong accepted the task without hesitation.

Chief Li couldn't help but sigh: "Zhang Xinchen is really worthy of the word 'loyalty' in his name!" ”

Out of admiration for Zhang Zizhong, Huang Haoran took the initiative to ask to take the 29th Division and the General Guard Regiment to accompany Zhang Zizhong to break off the rear together. As a result, Chief Li and Xu Zuyi immediately expressed their resolute opposition after knowing about it!

"Youchen! You are now the deputy commander of the 1st and 5th theaters! How can you take risks? ”

The person who said this was Xu Zuyi, which made Huang Haoran feel a little surprised, you must know that since Huang Haoran arrived in Xuzhou, Xu Zuyi has been at odds with Huang Haoran. Being able to distinguish between public and private in major matters should be the reason why Chief Li admires Xu Zuyi, right?

Although Chief Li didn't speak, he nodded lightly beside him, obviously agreeing with Xu Zuyi's opinion.

"Degong! Brother Yanmou! I am not doing this out of the spur of the moment, but for the sake of these hundreds of thousands of troops in the 5th theater! Just as I said at the Zhengzhou Operational Conference, the biggest disadvantage of our army lies in coordination and coordination, and some people are afraid to move forward when attacking, and it is not surprising that now we want to jump out of the encirclement of the Japanese army, and jump out of a few generals who are greedy for life and afraid of death! I really don't want Zhang Xinchen to be dragged down by these people! The War of Resistance is inseparable from the ...... of generals like Zhang Xinchen"

Huang Haoran's words made Chief Li and Xu Zuyi fall into silence, although they also knew that the generals of the Chinese army had such bad habits, but if they wanted Chief Li and Xu Zuyi to say it as bluntly as Huang Haoran, they really wouldn't be willing!

In fact, Chief Li and Xu Zuyi did not put the troops of the "Gui Department" behind the rear hall in the retreat sequence of the troops in the 5th Theater, and they were also worried that the bad situation that Huang Haoran said would happen!

This is called the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, and after rolling in the political circles for a long time, people will inevitably become forward-looking and cautious!

Chief Li looked at Huang Haoran, who was standing opposite him, and laughed at himself in his heart:

"Old! Old! It's not as good as these newborn calves......"

The atmosphere of silence lasted for more than half a minute before Xu Zuyi broke the deadlock:

"Degong! Since Youchen has already said something heart-wrenching, if we are blocking it, it will inevitably seem a little unkind! As Youchen said, it's better not to have variables in the retreat! With him, the deputy commander of the theater and the victorious general, the retreating units can also calm down a little ......"

Seeing that Xu Zuyi had given himself a good step, Chief Li did not insist anymore and agreed to Huang Haoran's request:

"Youchen, asking you to come to Xuzhou is really the most right thing that I, Li Delin, have done as the commander of the 5th Theater...... Let me help you again! Since you are going to accompany Zhang Xinchen on this trip to Daoshan, I will ask the Military Commission not to remove you from your post as deputy commander of the 5th Theater of Operations first, so that you can be more justified when you control those generals......

Originally, according to the practice of the Central Military Commission, since Huang Haoran was appointed deputy commander of the enemy's 1st Theater, Huang Haoran should seize the time to hand over military affairs to the next deputy commander of the 5th Theater.

In fact, after the Zhengzhou meeting, the highest authorities asked Huang Haoran to meet Xuzhou to do this.

After all, Huang Haoran alone has the deputy commanders of the two theaters hanging on his body, which is really a little inappropriate.

But in this way, Huang Haoran, who has lost the title of deputy commander of the 5th Theater of Operations, is bound to spend more energy to control the Chinese troops on the way to retreat.

Now Chief Li has indicated that he is willing to request Huang Haoran to the Central Military Commission to postpone the dismissal of Huang Haoran from his post as deputy commander of the 5th Theater, that is, to open the door to Huang Haoran and provide convenience for Huang Haoran to control the generals of the troops behind the palace.

"Thank you! Thank you, Brother Yanmou! See you in Wuhan!"

Huang Haoran hugged his fists at Chief Li and Xu Zuyi, his generosity was overflowing, and Chief Li and Xu Zuyi also hugged their fists and returned the salute.

**************************************************

On 27 May, the main forces of the theater left the battlefield one after another. On the 28th, Huang Haoran and Zhang Zizhong ordered the covering troops to abandon their positions and begin to retreat.

At the beginning, Zhang Zizhong insisted on letting the 21st and 27th Divisions and Huang Haoran's 99th Division go first, intending to lead the 59th Army by himself, but Huang Haoran resolutely refused! In the end, Zhang Zizhong had to agree to go with Huang Haoran.

After retreating some distance to the west, Cao Fulin's vanguard of the 29th Division discovered that the Japanese pursuing force had preemptively occupied a village on the north side of the main road in an attempt to intercept the retreating Chinese troops.

Huang Haoran immediately ordered the guard regiment to send scouts to reconnoiter the Japanese position, and half an hour later, a reconnaissance platoon commander ran back and reported to Huang Haoran:

"Bench! The devil's troops are not many! There is a brigade in the Zhuangzi, and there may be a brigade of devils in the wilderness outside the Zhuangzi! The total will not exceed one wing! ”

Huang Haoran listened to the reconnaissance platoon commander's report and immediately calmed down! Although the troops led by Huang Haoran and Zhang Zizhong are all broken divisions, they are the number of six or seven divisions after all! There are at least thirty or forty thousand people! If the Japanese army wanted to rely on the strength of a mere wing to block the rear of the palace in the 5 theater, it was simply impossible.

The trouble at the moment is not how many Japanese troops are blocking the way, but why the troops in front of them did not attack the Japanese army, but stopped and watched unanimously!

Cao Fulin stood beside Huang Haoran with his eyes flickering, as if he had something to say. Huang Haoran noticed Cao Fulin's abnormality, so he turned around and whispered to Cao Fulin.

"Commander Cao! If you have something to say, just say it! Now there are interceptions in front and chasing soldiers in the back, if we still hide the words in our hearts, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Xuchang......"

Although Cao Fulin followed Huang Haoran for a short time, he admired this young commander very much, and in the Battle of Taierzhuang, Cao Fulin's 55th Army was fortunate to defeat the 33rd Brigade of Major General Seya Kai, and was praised by the Military Commission! This is put on hold, Cao Fulin didn't even dare to think about it!

Since coming to the 25th Army, the prospects of the 55th Army have become a smooth road! This is all thanks to Huang Haoran!

It's just that this young commander doesn't seem to know much about some of the bad habits of the Republic of China army, for example, now, the commander doesn't seem to see any "friendly forces" attempts......

"Commander, you better hurry up and give the order for the 27th and 21st Divisions to attack! These troops on the sidelines are all planning to preserve their strength, and they are all waiting for others to open the way for them! ”

Cao Fulin's words were very straightforward, and Huang Haoran was even more thorough, and he quickly Huang Haoran quickly figured it out!

To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple! These division commanders are nothing more than making old mistakes again! Pushing each other's committees, no one is willing to go first, let alone the queen of the palace, they all plan to pick up other people's cheap and pass the test easily!

Huang Haoran was worried that the situation he encountered still appeared!

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he thought of this, Huang Haoran was still a little angry!

What time is it now? MI100,000 is urgent! These division commanders are still playing tricks! It's just stupid!

"Map." Huang Haoran shouted loudly, and several staff officers of the general assembly hurriedly took out the military map from their backpacks, and then spread it on the ground and unfolded it.

Huang Haoran only glanced at the map a few times before making a decision! He commanded in a loud voice:

"Send a report to the 27th and 21st divisions! Order them to immediately attack the Japanese troops in front! I'll just give them an hour! If I can't kill a bloody way, I'll see their heads and sacrifice flags! ”

At such a critical juncture, Huang Haoran's order also became bloody! Those division and brigade commanders who were watching dared to ignore Zhang Zizhong's orders, but they definitely didn't dare to disobey Huang Haoran's orders!

Holding in his hands the authorization of the highest authority and Chief Lee. Huang Haoran, the deputy commander of the theater, can execute officers who disobey orders at any time! The division commander will cut first and then play!

After mobilizing the Chinese army on the sidelines, Huang Haoran began to give orders to Cao Fulin! The 29th Division was Cao Fulin's basic army, consisting of three brigades and six regiments, and although it fought hard in Taierzhuang for many days, it still had eight or nine thousand men. Asking other people's troops to fight hard with Little Japan while his own troops are not moving, Huang Haoran can't do such a thing!

"It's too close to the railway line, we can't afford to waste time, we have to pass quickly, and it's troublesome to be targeted by the little devil plane as soon as it gets dawn. Zhao Xiangchen! You take your 85th Brigade to attack the front of Zhuangzi! Remember, send two battalions around the flanks of the devils! I don't want you to annihilate the devil infantry wing on the other side! As long as you keep a firm eye on these devils! Chen Dexin! You take your 86th Brigade to drive the devils out of the field for me! Remember! Don't surround me! Leave a way to live for the devil, and you will chase him if he withdraws! Again, don't ask for results, just run away! ”

Huang Haoran's order was like a cannon, and in just a few minutes, the three brigades of Cao Fulin's 29th Division were thrown out by Huang Haoran! A posture of fighting with devils!

Cao Fulin looked at the arrogant Huang Haoran, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

In fact, Cao Fulin said that the real intention of those words just now was to let Huang Haoran use his identity as the deputy commander of the 5th Theater to kick the ass of those division commanders! The 29th Division doesn't have to do it yourself at all, just stand in the back and supervise the battle!

Or wait for Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army to catch up, and Zhang Zizhong will drive the Japanese army on the opposite side, so that the 29th Division can pass through Tongshan without losing a single soldier. In Cao Fulin's view, the upright Zhang Zizhong will definitely take the initiative to pick up the burden of breaking through! is also from the Northwest Army, Cao Fulin knows Zhang Zizhong very well!

But now that Huang Haoran has arranged it like this, the 29th Division has become an arrow to break through! Zhao Xiangchen's 85th Brigade was also sent to the front by Huang Haoran! Cao Fulin bets that once the troops of the 27th and 21st Divisions see Huang Haoran's 29th Division platoon and devils, they will definitely hide next to them and wave their flags and shout, at most they will put a few guns perfunctory!

The military system of the Wuhan government is a big dye vat, and honest people like Huang Haoran and Zhang Zizhong are about to become extinct!

At the request of Chen Dexin, commander of the 86th Brigade who attacked the Japanese infantry brigade in the field, the mortar unit of the 29th Division began to shell the field occupied by the Japanese army

As soon as the shelling stopped, Huang Haoran saw through the telescope that the 86th Brigade launched a group charge towards the Japanese troops in the field! According to Huang Haoran's order, Chen Dexin surrounded the east, west, and north sides of the field, leaving the south for the Japanese army to escape.

"Commander Cao, these officers and soldiers under your command are very capable of fighting! The Northwest Army is really a strong force! Huang Haoran watched the battle situation while praising Cao Fulin's troops.

Cao Fulin smiled and replied, "It's all the old foundation left by Chief Feng, I'm just picking up a ready-made one......"

Huang Haoran knew that what Cao Fulin said was just kind words, the Northwest Army had been out of the control of Chief Feng for many years, and many of the former powerhouses were about to degenerate into bandits, Cao Fulin was able to make the 55th Army maintain a strong combat effectiveness, and he must have his uniqueness!

Giving up Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army and choosing Cao Fulin's 55th Army is the right step!

Cao Fulin's estimation still made some mistakes, and after the 29th Division made a strong attack, the Chinese troops who were watching around also sent attack troops. Cao Fulin held the telescope and swept around, and found that most of them were regimental-level scales!

Huang Haoran's identity as the commander of the 5th Theater of Operations reflects its value at this time! If it weren't for Huang Haoran pressing the battle here, I'm afraid that Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army would not appear, and this siege would not be solved!

As a result, the Chinese army has invested more than 10,000 combat troops. With an army of 10,000 against the Japanese army with only two brigades, and the goal is only to expel the Japanese army, it is impossible to fail at all!

Cao Fulin looked at Huang Haoran's back, and his heart was surging...... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
