"Damn! We're still too late... Let Xu Liang's 535 regiment come out on top! ”

Zhang Hao, who was squatting on the Huanglong Slope west of Dongguantou, held a telescope and observed the situation on the battlefield for a long time, and finally had to reluctantly admit that his 531st Regiment had lost the upper hand in this "long-distance race". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Liang, this kid will brag everywhere with this battle in the future! As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Hao's face began to grow longer and longer......

Zhang Hao, the head of the regiment, complained to the ears of the officers of the 531st Regiment standing behind him, and Shi Changhai, the commander of the 3rd Battalion and the 3rd Company, who was ordered to explore the path and pioneer the main force of the regiment, naturally became the person who felt the most uncomfortable.

As the saying goes: "success or failure is a hero", and this is especially true in the military. Since in the end, the 531st Regiment where Tiger Leaping Abyss was located failed to reach the predetermined attack line before the 535th Regiment of the brother force, then even if Shi Changhai built a second Zhaozhou Bridge in Tiger Leaping Abyss, what was the point?

The officers and soldiers under Huang Haoran have always been competitive, and this is the unique temperament that Huang Haoran has cultivated with victory since the Songhu battlefield! Even brother troops like the 531st Regiment and the 535th Regiment, who have been fighting side by side since the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, will not be willing to admit that they are "losing"!

"It's all my fault! If our company can build the bridge quickly, our regiment will definitely be able to get ahead of Commander Zhang and them......"

Shi Changhai's voice was full of unwillingness, looking at the officers and soldiers of the 535th Regiment who were destroying all the way to the Japanese beachhead on the hillside in the distance, where could the company commander Shi still find the high-spirited energy when he broke through the tiger leaping abyss with his subordinates at this moment.

"Nothing to do! I don't know how to earn our face back? Alas, sigh, tube a ball!"

Zhang Hao's tactical literacy as a regiment commander was evident at this time, compared to Shi Changhai, who served as the company commander, Zhang Hao's vision was obviously higher, in Shi Changhai's view, the competition with the 535 regiment was basically over, and in Zhang Hao's eyes, he and his 531 regiment still had a chance to turn the tables.

On the battlefield at this moment, the situation is quietly changing, and the Japanese army has gradually woken up from the initial surprise, compared with the miscellaneous troops stationed in several secondary defense directions, the two brigades guarding the beachhead landing ground are really elite field troops, and the firepower is quite strong.

As a lieutenant general and division commander of the army, Honma Masaan naturally understood that he had to send heavy troops to guard the landing ground, and to hand over the lifeline of the 27th Division to a group of heavy soldiers who had never fought in a war would be tantamount to asking for his own death.

Therefore, Honma Masana handed over his back to his most trusted subordinate Okazaki Kiyozaburo Osa, and most of the 2nd Wing of the Chinese Garrison Infantry under Okazaki Kiyozaburo Osaku was veterans, and the combat effectiveness was the strongest in the 27th Division.

In order to be as foolproof as possible, Okazaki Kiyozaburo Osa also received a special reinforcement from the division headquarters: a largely complete tank squadron.

Now, it is this trump card that Kiyozaburo Okazaki wants to sacrifice.

"Hurry! Let the chariot troops go to the front and block the offensive of the Chinese army with steel! ”

As long as the current ferocious offensive of the Chinese army can be slowed down, Okazaki Kiyozaburo Osa believes that with the two main infantry brigades in his hands, he will be able to block the Chinese army on the hill where they appear.

Because Okazaki Kiyozaburo Osa has already discovered the weakness of the Chinese surprise army on the other side with his rich combat experience, that is, there are basically no heavy weapons! On the battlefield, if the attacking team's firepower is not able to overwhelm the defender, then the attack will basically fail!

Chariot! As long as an iron wall is formed with tank troops, these Chinese with light weapons will not think of rushing over!

Kiyozaburo Okazaki is very convinced!

The Japanese charioteers who received the order quickly rushed to the side of their Type 89 medium chariot and desperately climbed inside. Soon, the engines of these Type 89 medium chariots began to roar one after another, and the gathering place was filled with black smoke.

The leader of the tank squadron, Iguchi Shaozuo, vigorously pushed open the turret cover of the Type 89 medium tank, and then leaned out and issued an order at the top of his voice: "Two convoys, open a safe distance, and move forward at full speed!" ”

The sound of gunfire on the battlefield and the roar of the engine all interfered greatly with Iguchi Shaozo and upset him. Compared with these, what bothers Iguchi Shaoza even more is his current direct boss Kiyozaburo Okazaki.

In the establishment of the Japanese Army, the tank units do not have an independent high-level establishment, and they are often scattered among the various army divisions and regiments, which inevitably leads the situation of laymen leading insiders.

For the order he had just received, Iguchi Shaozuo was actually very resistant in his heart.

The use of Type 89 medium tanks in defensive warfare is simply not a cost-effective thing, and it does not reflect the value of the mobility of the tank. But since he was ordered to enter the Chinese battlefield, Iguchi Shaozo has received such a task more than once.

The chariot, which was supposed to be an arrow in the attack, acted as the vanguard of the siege! But these senior commanders of the infantry units in the divisions of the Imperial Army did not use the chariot units in this way!

In order to monopolize the credit during the offensive, the infantry commander often pressed the rear chariot attack position, not giving the chariot unit a chance to make meritorious contributions! And when it's time to fight a defensive battle, they have to put the chariot at the front and use it as a mobile firepower point! These short-sighted bastards!

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, are we going to wipe the infantry's butts again?"

The half-sycophantic ridicule of the driver Nakamura made the dissatisfaction in Iguchi Shaosa's heart find a reason to vent:

"Aren't these guys like this, they usually show off their might, but when they encounter a tough opponent, they will push the blame on other troops! If they can't attack it, they complain that the artillery and army aviation didn't open a good road for them, and if they can't defend it, they complain that the firepower support is not enough! Now even our tank units are on the line! In the eyes of these bastards, only they are fine! ”

"Nakamura-kun, what worries me most right now is that Kiyozaburo Okazaki ordered our chariots to act as fixed bunkers. In that case, if the Chinese army on the hill is equipped with anti-aircraft artillery, what awaits us will be a disaster! ”

"I hope Apayasu will bless us!"

The driver, Nakamura, complained in a low voice as he pressed the accelerator pedal, and got the 120 hp power of the Type 89 medium tank powered by the Japanese-designed J3 inline 6-cylinder air-cooled 4-stroke diesel engine.

The addition of the tank squadron really changed the course of this raid operation, although these Type 89 medium tanks were born "thin", and there was a huge gap between them and the tanks equipped by European countries at the same time. But in front of today's 99th Division's strange soldiers who have no heavy weapons, the devil's chariot unit still looks very powerful. At least the light machine guns and rifles of the 535th Regiment could not penetrate the armor of these Type 89 medium tanks, and the soldiers with Soviet-made grenades could hardly get into an effective throwing distance on the slopes of today's unsheltered and open horizons.

After the impact momentum of the 535th Regiment was slightly weakened, some Japanese soldiers who reacted relatively quickly rushed up and used the steel plates and tracks of the tank to mount machine guns, which further made up for the loopholes in the firepower of the tank and constituted a more complete firepower network.

The most direct result was that the attack of the 535th Regiment became more difficult, and the casualties of the troops increased greatly, and Xu Liang, the commander of the 535th Regiment on the hillside, was anxious to stomp his feet!

However, in the eyes of Zhang Hao, the head of the 531st Regiment, all this is completely different......

"Grandma's! It's a waiting opportunity! A battalion commander! You take two companies to outflank you from the right flank, take the anti-aircraft and infantry guns on those beachheads for me, and then beat them hard at the ass of the devil's chariots! Remember! Move fast! Otherwise, the losses of the 535th regiment would have been too great......"

Zhang Hao is still very concerned about the safety of the brothers' troops, they are the basic troops of the 99th Division, and most of the officers and soldiers of several regiments have fought side by side, Zhang Hao cannot accept that Xu Liang's 535th Regiment has suffered huge losses on the hillside.

After the commander of the first battalion who had been ordered answered, he immediately returned to the unit and inserted his men and horses into the flank of the Japanese army! This is a move that can turn the tide of battle!

Seeing that the attacking troops were far away, but the Japanese troops on the beachhead did not notice it in the slightest, Zhang Hao and Grand Master Zhang were in a very good mood. He said with a wicked smile to the 535th Regiment that was in a stalemate with the Japanese army in the distance: "Xu Liang, Xu Liang, don't say that our brothers are not righteous... Whoever makes you unable to gnaw hard bones yourself, you have to send half of your military exploits to Lao Tzu! I can't do it if I want to......"

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

"How long will it take to get to Bluestone from here?"

Wang Zhaoming can basically be said to have jumped off the plane, and almost fell when he landed, which made the generals who greeted Wang Zhaoming at the airport really startled!

There is no way, who let Chairman Wang always show himself in front of people as a "white-faced scholar"? Today's impatient performance is really a bit too abnormal~~

Could it be that President Wang's trip was accompanied by an urgent directive from the highest authorities?

Although there has been no major change in the battle situation on the front line, Wuhan needs to make a decision. However, this supreme authority has had many "criminal records" of pointing fingers at front-line generals. Previously, it was also because the situation of the Anti-Japanese War was too critical that the highest authorities were willing to give full authority to generals such as Li Delin, Huang Haoran, and Xue Yue to command the front-line troops to fight. Now that the Wuhan battlefield has won great victories one after another, even the Western newspapers have begun to be optimistic about the war of resistance led by the supreme authorities.

Thinking of this, several generals of the 25th Group Army present couldn't help but show some gloom on their faces. And several oppositionists who have always been envious, jealous and hateful to Huang Haoran showed a knowing smile, as for the rest of those with uncertain expressions, they are the ****** and neutral generals in the river defense system, and it is actually their group of people who are most entangled in their hearts at this moment!

In the seriousness of these opportunists, the highest authorities, Chairman Wang and Huang Haoran, are not easy to mess with! In the past, there were the highest authorities who strongly supported Huang Haoran, and these ****** and the neutrals were relatively easy to stand in line, so naturally they would not be stupid enough to stand on the side of Chairman Wang and find themselves unhappy. But now, if the highest authorities really think about the command of Jiang Fangjun, it means that Huang Haoran is likely to lose power, and in that case, it is difficult to say how the situation will develop.....

Chairman Wang's "status as a messenger" at this moment and the legendary "secret order of the chairman" will become a hammer to break the internal balance of the Jiangfang military system?

What kind of drama did the highest authorities let Wang Zhaoming play? is still acting so impermeable, which side should you stand on?

The hearts of the generals present were surging, and the complexity of the psychological level also directly affected their performance when greeting Vice Chairman Wang.

In order to avoid being seen by others as being in a hurry to express their stance and "stand in line" and being excluded, a group of people were reluctant to speak first, hoping to see the direction of the wind first, which made the scene a little silent, without the slightest atmosphere of the welcome ceremony.

In the end, it was a major general director of the Material Resources Committee of the River Defense System who stood up first and broke the embarrassment:

"Report to Vice Chairman Wang, it only takes five or six hours to travel from the front-line airport here to Qingshi Town, but due to the frequent air raids by the Japanese army recently, the road leading to the front line has been heavily damaged, so the time spent on the road may be more than a day now......

According to the arrangement of the Wuhan Military Commission, the front-line airfield is usually arranged in a safe area far away from the battle line, but compared with the airfield behind the Tianjiazhen Fortress Headquarters, the position that Wang Zhaoming's plane finally chose to fall on was still much closer to the front line. There is no doubt that there are a lot of risks in doing so, and of course, this move has also won Wang Zhaoming some "respect" for himself.

For a soldier, a Shangfeng who is not afraid of death is much more reliable than those cowards who immediately fled three hundred miles when they heard the sound of cannons.

What's more, Wang Zhaoming still has a "secret order" at the moment that is likely to affect the next battle.

The "Tiger Courage Chincha" with the "Shang Fang Sword"! Who dares to offend? If you don't make a good fuss, you're going to lose your head!

As for the real purpose of Wang Zhaoming's trip, the generals may have to wait until Chairman Wang establishes a puppet government in Nanjing......

The real reason why Wang Zhaoming chose to land at such a front-line airfield was to complete the task given to him by Ying Zuozhen Zhaosai as soon as possible, so that he could give an explanation to the Japanese and win a backup for himself.

"Then let's go!" After nodding his head of approval at the major general who replied, Vice Chairman Wang immediately said that he would go straight to Qingshi Town to see Huang Haoran. You must know that Wang Zhaoming is the "protagonist" of today's welcome ceremony, as soon as he wants to leave at this moment, a bunch of generals standing on the airport are suddenly a little at a loss, but fortunately, a few of them are usually quite capable and have done this kind of errand to welcome the car, so after more than half an hour, the convoy and guards who were originally going to send Vice Chairman Wang to temporarily stay and rest were mixed together with a battalion drawn from the airport. If you encounter an air raid or a landmine on the road, you will be hit. The loss must have been terrible.

Liu Chuncheng, director of the Material Resources Committee of the Jiang Defense System, who was the first to react and respond to Vice Chairman Wang's questioning, was directly arrested and became the commander of this mixed unit.

Maybe in Vice Chairman Wang's view, this is a reward, but for Director Liu Chuncheng, who has basically not been in the line of fire since he put on the military uniform, it is really a torment!

The second-in-command of the ruling party! The veteran of the Wuhan government! The drafter of the Prime Minister's legacy! Wearing one of these three big hats on your head means that you will be a great person in this year! And the one who needs to be escorted today wears all three hats on his head!

The air supremacy, the hastily formed guard force, more than 400 people crammed into ten trucks, and the long hours of driving on roads frequently bombed by the Japanese army, all this makes me feel a headache!

But if the surnamed Wang has three longs and two shorts on the way to Qingshi Town, no one will use these reasons to excuse him Liu Chuncheng, these people around him will only desperately clear up the relationship between this matter and themselves, and then shrink aside, pointing and looking at him, Director Liu's life, how did it come to an end......

Damn place! Damn the mission! Damn Vice Chairman Wang! It's like a trick! Such a risk must not be taken! Of course, Director Liu only dared to shout in his heart, and he had to put on a flattered appearance on the surface.

"Vice Chairman Wang, you still take the car that was originally prepared, a total of three, the middle one carries you and your adjutant, the front and rear two carry the entourage, the front and rear of the five trucks, and then arrange some cavalry, spread far away, and give you a ride... You see, is this arrangement still satisfactory? ”

In Director Liu's view, this arrangement is almost the best choice at this moment, and no one should think of the key to this, but what he didn't expect was that Vice Chairman Wang put forward a new proposal:

"If you take a truck, can the speed be faster, I'm here to deal with military affairs, the car is really unnecessary, since the road is not good, it's more convenient to have a big car..."

Liu Chuncheng cried out again in his heart, the reason why he wanted Vice Chairman Wang to take a car was actually for a special purpose, although the road to Qingshi Town has been repaired by sappers and laborers found nearby, but it is still difficult to travel, and the wheels of the truck are easily stuck in the crater and cannot climb out, if Vice Chairman Wang really drove on this road in a car, he would definitely have to give up and return if he couldn't go a long way.

It is the relationship between superiors and subordinates, so let Huang Haoran come and run hundreds of miles, as long as Vice Chairman Wang doesn't have an accident, as for the safety of his Commander Huang, it is not something that Liu Chuncheng needs to worry about. (To be continued.) )
