Chapter 82: The Crisis in Jiujiang
9.82 The crisis in Jiujiang
On the night of Li Yunheng's dispose, Huang Haoran stayed in the town of Madang, which was actually to show the officers of the 16th Army his support for Wang Xitao, the acting commander. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Knowing that Huang Haoran decided to stay, Wang Xitao's heart suddenly felt a lot easier, with Huang Haoran in the back, his process of receiving the 16th Army will undoubtedly be much smoother. In fact, Wang Xitao had long had the idea of asking Huang Haoran to stay in the fortress for a few days, but he also knew that Huang Haoran was now a new official and was entangled in affairs, so he couldn't open this mouth.
Wang Xitao, who felt that he had received Huang Haoran's favor, secretly made up his mind that he must fight a good battle in Madao, that is, for his own future, and for Huang Haoran's kindness to him.
At noon the next day, Huang Haoran took advantage of the time after lunch to have a small meeting with the new command team of the 16th Army, and once again reiterated the importance of the fortress and the dangerous situation after the loss of Anqing, which sounded the alarm bell for the defenders of the fortress.
After the meeting, Huang Haoran also had to leave. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Wang Xitao that he must seize the time to consolidate and control the troops, and according to the crazy strength shown by the Botian detachment in Anqing, this Japanese army will definitely attack the fortress in the near future.
Wang Xitao made a military order in front of Huang Haoran that he would not retreat without receiving the retreat order issued by Huang Haoran, although the credibility of similar rhetoric from the mouths of the generals of the Wuhan government has never been high, Huang Haoran still smiled at Wang Xitao cordially.
Because a series of accidents encountered in Wuhan delayed Huang Haoran a lot of time, he had no time to rectify Wuhan's river defense system.
Taking down Li Yunheng is a demonstration, and promoting Wang Xitao is a grace! As for the effect, it will have to be tested on the battlefield.
Since Huang Haoran insisted on setting his headquarters in Tianjia Town, the Jiang Defense Command, which was originally set up in Jiujiang, had to be relocated.
However, the relocation of important military command organs is not an easy task, and the relaying of telephone lines alone is a huge project, so when Huang Haoran rushed from Madao to Tianjia Town, he saw a busy scene. There is also Jiang Baili's car parked at the entrance of the semi-finished product headquarters.
Huang Haoran suddenly wanted to joke with Jiang Baili, he didn't let Xu Zilong step forward to tell Jiang Baili that he had arrived, but quietly went around from behind Jiang Baili's car to under the back window, and then suddenly stood up and patted the glass and shouted:
"Big brother! How did you get to Tianjia Town? ”
Although he had just been separated from Jiang Baili for a few days, Huang Haoran was still very happy about this reunion! Facing the unfamiliar and complicated system of the Jiang Defense Army, Huang Haoran felt a little messy, Jiang Baili's guiding light came at the right time!
"Youchen! When will your mischievous temper change? ”
How could a general like Jiang Baili be easily frightened? Looking at Huang Haoran's face full of disappointment because the joke did not succeed, Jiang Baili couldn't help but want to laugh.
Huang Haoran just wanted to continue to gossip with Jiang Baili through the car window, but was interrupted by Jiang Baili taking the initiative to speak, Jiang Baili opened the car door on the other side and came out and said to Huang Haoran: "I was supposed to return to Wuhan directly from Jiujiang, but Zhang Xianghua said that he wanted to meet you, the newly promoted army general, so I brought him over!" As a result, when I arrived, I found that not only did your headquarters not be done well, but also that the people were not in Tianjia Town! If you come back a little later, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me......"
Zhang Xianghua? Isn't it Zhang Fakui? Now at this time, Zhang Fakui is not staying in Jiujiang, hurrying up to prepare for the war, what is he going to do in Tianjia Town? The 2nd Army Corps is a unit under the control of the 9th Theater of Operations, and Chen Cixiu is his boss Zhang Fakui?
"Oh!? In that case, why don't you see Commander Zhang? ”
"Brother Youchen, don't worry! I'm visiting your headquarters! With you, a victorious general, by your side, wouldn't it be a pity not to steal some divisions? ”
As soon as Huang Haoran's words fell, he heard Zhang Fakui's hearty voice, Huang Haoran looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Zhang Fakui striding out of the courtyard, which looked like a standard soldier's action.
During the Battle of Songhu, Huang Haoran once sat with Zhang Fakui for a meeting, and the two of them had met several times in the preparation stage of the Battle of Wuhan, so Huang Haoran's appearance of Zhang Fakui, his impression of Zhang Fakui was also quite good.
Among the generals of the Wuhan government, Zhang Fakui is a main battle faction, and Zhang Fakui has publicly stated after the outbreak of the "77" incident; "If I can't fight against Japan again this time, I have decided to become a monk in the mountains and never ask about the world in the future."
In addition, Zhang Fakui is also a very realistic person, and the generals of the Republic of China usually like to exaggerate their achievements, but Zhang Fakui is diametrically opposed. During the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Fakui commanded the artillery unit and wounded the Japanese flagship "Izumo", and was called "the artillery general" by the citizens of Shanghai. If such a good thing had fallen on other generals, he would have accepted it gladly, but Zhang Fakui said: "The common people praise my artillery as a magic cannon, but in fact, it is a bit too much... Although we hit the Izumo, we could only slightly damage it, but we could not sink it, because our artillery fire was insufficient. As soon as we opened fire, the Japanese sailors took refuge under the deck. In fact, the Izumo suffered no casualties".
Just because he hates the Japanese and is not greedy for fame and fortune, Huang Haoran is willing to make friends with Zhang Fakui!
"Brother Xiang Hua! Welcome! Welcome! What is my little thing, a general like you who has led troops for many years is a real treasure! ”
"Time is precious! Let's get down to business! Youchen! Is there a place to talk? ”
Jiang Baili's anxious attitude of interrupting the conversation between Huang Haoran and Zhang Fakui made Huang Haoran a little surprised, it seems that Jiang Baili brought Zhang Fakui to Tianjia Town because there was an emergency.
"The headquarters hasn't been done yet, there are a lot of people, why don't you just talk in Brother Baili's car?"
Huang Haoran's proposal was responded to by Jiang Baili and Zhang Fakui, and after the three of them got into Jiang Baili's car one after another, Huang Haoran beckoned Xu Zilong to lead the guards around the side of the car.
After closing the curtain of the car window, Huang Haoran noticed that Zhang Fakui's face immediately darkened. Zhang Fakui was so anxious to run from Jiujiang to Tianjia Town, and even asked the headquarters of the 2nd Corps to sing about the empty city plan, just to ask Huang Haoran to help him get an idea.
According to the deployment of the Military Commission and the 9th Theater, the defense area in charge of Zhang Fakui was mainly in the Jiujiang area, which was located in the rear of the Madao Fortress.
To block the Japanese from the east, Jiujiang is the gateway to Wuhan, and once Jiujiang is lost, it will have a great impact on the overall situation of the Battle of Wuhan! Carrying such a heavy burden, Zhang Fakui can feel huge pressure all the time!!
