6.97 When the war is ongoing

Not long after the telegram from the 23rd Army Corps to Huang Haoran was sent, the Japanese bombers came to Wuhu City and dropped a large number of bombs, Pan Wenhua did not expect the Japanese to come back so quickly, he hurriedly let the 23rd Army enter combat readiness, Tang Shizun's 21st Army was the first to engage the Japanese army, although the 103rd Wing of Tanigawa Kozo Osa's attack was very resolute, but after all, there were only more than 2,000 troops, and the 21st Army with three infantry divisions stabilized its position after a short panic, The 103rd Wing's offensive momentum was quickly suppressed.

The appearance of the Japanese in Pan Wenhua Jue was an opportunity for the 23rd Army Corps, so he sent the emergency telegram directly to Wuhan, and Wuhan quickly replied with an enthusiastic telegram, in this telegram, the Sichuan Army became the pillar of the country again, and the matter of Guangde was not mentioned a word, and at the same time as the telegram from Wuhan arrived, the forces that had been tossing within the 23rd Army for several days instantly died down, and Wuhan made concessions for the retreat of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanjing.

All this strengthened Pan Wenhua's determination to take the Sichuan army to Huang Haoran, from the performance of Wuhan, it can be seen that Huang Haoran has a special status in the eyes of the highest authorities, and found this backer, the 23rd Army can be regarded as having a master, but because the old commander Liu Xiang is still there, so Pan Wenhua's telegram to Huang Haoran said very vaguely, more of a mention that the 23rd Army is willing to help Huang Haoran defend Wuhu, only the matter of requesting annexation Pan Wenhua is only a little bit.

In Nanjing, Huang Haoran, who moved the city defense headquarters into a private house, finished reading Pan Wenhua's telegram and shouted in his heart that he was happy! Originally, he was worried that the troops in the Wuhu direction would be insufficient, and Fan Jie would not be able to hold the retreat of the Nanjing garrison, but now the tens of thousands of Sichuan troops of the 23rd Army Corps fell from the sky all at once, which is almost no different from dropping pie.

Although the equipment of the Sichuan army is inferior, but this can be completely improved, Huang Haoran, who is familiar with the history of the Anti-Japanese War, of course understands the important role played by the Sichuan army in the Anti-Japanese War, the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, the number of people in Sichuan who joined the army exceeded three million, and it can be said that at least one-third of the Chinese army in the entire Anti-Japanese War came from Sichuan! The defection of the 23rd Army Corps is a very good beginning, Pan Wenhua is the bridge between Huang Haoran and Sichuan, with this big rear, there will be no problem with the future source of troops.

As for Liu Xiang, Huang Haoran is even less worried, it will not be long before this anti-Japanese commander of the Sichuan army will die of illness in Hankou, Pan Wenhua's telegram shows that the generals within the Sichuan army now also think that Liu Xiang is impossible to return to Sichuan alive, maybe Wuhan has now begun to attack the Sichuan army.

Pan Wenhua must be given confidence! It is necessary to make the 23rd Army believe that it can shelter them, so that Pan Wenhua can defend Wuhu! With the Sichuan army in addition to the troops in Fan Jie's hands, the back road of the Nanjing garrison can basically be guaranteed!

Huang Haoran personally drafted a telegram and sent it to Pan Wenhua, in which Huang Haoran highly praised the performance of the Sichuan army on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and thanked the 23rd Army Corps for reaching out in time at this time, Huang Haoran wrote at the end of the telegram:

"Regarding the withdrawal of the Sichuan army, I will also make a proposal to the commission, so as to postpone, Commander Pan is worried in his heart, I already know that after the war in Nanjing, as called by Chairman Liu, the 23rd Army Corps will come and go freely, and will not be blocked!"

The lethality of Huang Haoran's last few sentences is very amazing, there is also a list of weapons in the annex of the telegram, 5000 imitation M1898 Hanyang rifles, 300 light and heavy machine guns, the Sichuan army has never received such a large number of materials since the Anti-Japanese War in Sichuan, Pan Wenhua will Huang Haoran's call back and the list of weapons provided to the 23rd Army Corps for Liu Zhaomu, Zhou Shaoxuan and Tian Zhongyi to circulate and burn, the four of them said in unison that Huang Haoran is of high character!

Huang Haoran's fierce medicine is the symptoms of the Sichuan Army, quickly harvested Pan Wenhua and his henchmen, the 23rd Army got the weapons provided by Huang Haoran and immediately increased its combat effectiveness by a large piece, so that the 101st Division attacking Wuhu is even more difficult to handle, and Pan Wenhua's troop combat effectiveness exceeds Tang Shizun's 21st Army is also a constraint on Tang Shizun, Huang Haoran wants to take over the entire 23rd Army at one time, and the 21st Army is also one of his delicacies.

It will take some time for weapons to be transported from Nanjing to Wuhu, and before that, the 23rd Army can only rely on itself, Huang Haoran opened a military map and spread it on the table, which was originally the dining table for Dai Mengru, Fang Xiaoqian and the old couple.

The basement of the small building has been emptied, and the large box that the owner of the house can't take away was carried out by the guards of the headquarters and thrown into the distance, and the basement, which originally seemed a little crowded, suddenly became bright, Huang Haoran's staff officers were busy arranging the new operational command room inside, the sappers were running and pulling the telephone lines in the courtyard, Huang Haoran was sitting at the table looking at the map in such a noisy environment, Dai Mengru walked from the guest room to the living room several times, but was blocked by Xu Zilong.

"Reporter Dai, you'd better stay in the room, it's already polite for the commander to let you stay in this house, this place has now become a military stronghold, and there are some things that you can't listen to and watch!"

Xu Zilong's voice was very cold, Dai Mengru knew that the officer in front of her was telling the truth, and she didn't expect Huang Haoran to let them stay in the small building after greeting her for a few words, Dai Mengru even felt a slight wave in her heart, she was a little anxious to know the reason why Huang Haoran was so polite to her.

However, with Xu Zilong, the door god, Dai Mengru's wish can only stay in the bottom of his heart, after saying this, Xu Zilong waved his hand, and two guards with loaded guns came over and invited Dai Mengru back to the guest room.

Seeing that Dai Mengru was "driven back", Fang Xiaoqian laughed and teased Dai Mengru, she asked Dai Mengru what was so good about Huang Haoran? actually made Dai Mengru seem to have lost her soul, Dai Mengru was provoked by Fang Xiaoqian, and her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she whispered: "People keep us here, shouldn't they say a word of thanks?" ”

Dai Mengru's eyes were very fluttering when she spoke, and Fang Xiaoqian immediately grabbed Dai Mengru's braids:

"The mouth is wrong! When you meet, you say you'll see you! Obviously, we were kicked out by others, but we want to say that the adult family left us here, it turns out that this is what the lover means in the eyes of Xi Shi......"

Seeing Dai Mengru bury her head like an ostrich, Fang Xiaoqian's mouth pursed higher, and she continued to speak with resentment: "Isn't he just an ordinary lieutenant general?" I don't see anything good! ”

The old couple worked in the house of the owner of the status all the year round, and before the owner of the house left Nanjing, they often heard the name Huang Haoran from the mouth of the owner of the house, the old couple knew that Huang Haoran was an "anti-Japanese hero", and saw that Fang Xiaoqian was angry with Huang Haoran, the old couple felt that Fang Xiaoqian was doing something inappropriate, and after they glanced at each other, the old gentleman opened his mouth:

"Girl, you can't say such a thing! If it weren't for General Huang, I'm afraid that the Japanese would have entered Nanjing City a long time ago, and a big official like him can be so polite to us ordinary people, it is already our creation, if the military master outside hears your words, I am afraid that he will get into trouble! ”

Although Fang Xiaoqian was arrogant, she still understood her respect for the old man, and although she was very reluctant in her heart, she still closed her mouth.

Without Fang Xiaoqian's noise, Dai Mengru began to miss her General Huang again, and Huang Haoran, who was sitting at the dining table in the living room, suddenly sneezed a few times one after another!

Huang Haoran rubbed his nose and said to himself: "I don't know which beauty is thinking about me!" What about the great beauty or Meng Gege? ”

After finishing speaking, he shook his head vigorously, and threw these dreams out of his mind, the battle of Guanghuamen entered a white-hot stage, and the Japanese troops in other directions also began to attack in a big way, Shen Fazao on Zhongshan took three telegrams in a row to report that he was in a hurry, and the 87th Division was really making a big fuss, condescending, and fortifications and bunkers were built on the mountain, and the Japanese army currently invested in the attack force was only one wing, Shen Fazao complained so early, is to hope that Huang Haoran will transfer the Guangdong army near Zhongshan Gate to Zhongshan, Wang Jingjiu is also a relatively capable general in the Central Army, how can he bring out a soft bone like Shen Fazao?

Huang Haoran called back to Shen Fazao, but there were no reinforcements! If you lose Zhong Shan, come and see you!

Shen Fazao on Zhongshan suddenly panicked!

"Master! Huang Haoran wants to use the hands of the Japanese to destroy our 87th Division! The lessons of Commander Sun and Captain Gui cannot be forgotten! At the beginning, only the division seat and Wang Junzuo were left to squeeze Huang Haoran with Commander Luo, and now, Huang Haoran is going to take revenge! ”

Chen Yiding, the commander of the 261st Brigade, said very loudly on the phone! His 261 Brigade was in the way of the Japanese army's attack, and in just two hours, Chen Yiding lost more than 1,000 people, so he was very anxious, Shen Fazao was afraid that the officer next to him would hear Chen Yiding's mouth, so he quickly covered the telephone receiver.

"Who told you this?" Shen Fazao gritted his teeth and said, "Brigade Commander Chen! Slandering the commander is to go to the court martial! You have to think twice! ”

Chen Yiding on the other end of the phone was really anxious, he actually collided directly with Shen Fazao, Chen Yiding was almost talking with a shout now, and the sound from the phone receiver stimulated Shen Fazao's eardrum tingling.

"Master! I'm your old subordinate! I'm not afraid that you will be angry, after Gui Yongqing's accident, someone in the teaching team spread this word to me, and I am not the only one who knows about this matter, but no one wants to say it! Division! Our 87th Division has reached the critical point of survival! At the beginning, Huang Haoran transferred us to Zhongshan, but he didn't have a good heart! There is the mausoleum of the former prime minister here, and our 87th division is also dead, and retreating is also death! He's dug a pit and is going to bury us! Division! ”

Chen Yiding's words were like knives in Shen Fazao's heart several times, in fact, Shen Fazao also had the same idea, he was unwilling to take the 87th Division to Zhongshan at the beginning, but at that time, Gui Yongqing and Sun Yuanliang had just thrown away the black yarn hat, Shen Fazao really didn't dare to disobey Huang Haoran's military order, he thought about finding Luo Zhuoying, but after the 87th Division went up the mountain, Shen Fazao was never able to contact Luo Zhuoying, and in the face of the increasingly powerful Huang Haoran Luo Zhuoying chose to cease the war, but the 87th Division and him Shen Fazao suffered.

The army commander Wang Jingjiu found an excuse to get mixed up with Tang Shengzhi, and became an adviser to the city defense command, and people with a discerning eye knew that Wang Jingjiu was a wise man to protect himself, what kind of city defense command was Tang Shengzhi's city defense headquarters? That's seven or eight school-level staff officers accompanying Tang Shengzhi to play at home! Since Wang Jingjiu has fled to such a place, this also reflects that Huang Haoran is a figure that Shen Fazao absolutely can't provoke!

Shen Fazao on Zhongshan has been looking forward to Huang Haoran ushering in a fiasco on the outskirts of Nanjing, so that his 87th Division can justifiably escape from Nanjing, he never expected that Huang Haoran almost knocked out an entire division of the Japanese army in Lishui as soon as he came up! After the Battle of Lishui, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the General Staff both proposed that Huang Haoran be promoted to general! If this proposal passes, Huang Haoran will become China's youngest general!

The gold content in this is self-evident! Look at the generals in the government who hold military power! Who is not the head of a small faction, after learning about this thunderbolt on a sunny day, Shen Fazao was very depressed for several days, fortunately, the proposal of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the General Staff was vetoed by the highest authorities, but after the Nanjing War, Huang Haoran will become a corps commander It is already a sure thing, maybe, the 87th Division will also become Huang Haoran's subordinate combat unit.

"Yi Ding, do you have any ideas?" Shen Fazao, who had no idea at all, actually began to "ask shamelessly", Chen Yiding, the commander of the 261st Brigade, shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Shen Fazao to be such a headless fly!

The 87th Division has such a division commander, I'm afraid there is no hope!

"Master! Ask Huang Haoran for help! Then send a report to Wuhan, you are from the second phase of Huangpu, and the commission will not ignore his students! ”

"Now, I can only ask for the blessing of the commission! Brigade Commander Chen, I'll send you two battalions of reinforcements, Zhong Shan can't lose it too quickly, otherwise he won't be able to explain! Don't let the mausoleum of the former prime minister become our grave....."

After putting down the phone, Shen Fazao wrote a telegram to Wuhan that was extremely sensational, and he bet all his hopes of leaving Zhongshan on this telegram.

The 87th Division fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Xinguoyuan and Dongxiwazi, because the middle and lower officers and soldiers of the 87th Division were well aware of the significance of Zhongshan to China, so the scene of the heroic martyrdom of the whole company and the entire platoon continued to appear, and due to the stubborn resistance of the Chinese army, the Japanese 3rd Division advanced extremely slowly along the mountain road in the Zhongshan area, and it was almost every cost of dozens of men to advance a short section.

The Japanese army in Guanghuamen finally blocked the moat with bricks and stones, and the Japanese army killed the west bank of the moat from the passage erected by the sappers, Song Xilian ordered the machine gunners to open full fire, and a large number of devil infantry were hit by bullets and fell into the river full of mud, but because the number of Japanese troops crossing the river was extremely large, so the west bank was gradually filled with Japanese troops, because the Japanese army had rushed into the dead corner under the city wall, the mortars were completely ineffective, and in a hurry, the Chinese officers and soldiers on the city wall directly threw the mortar shells into the Japanese soldiers under the city wall. In this way, the tactics of using shells as bombs brought great casualties to the Japanese army, and Jing Shuxuan had to give an order to let the Japanese retreat, and the Japanese troops on the east bank of the moat not only continued to throw stuff into the moat under the cover of the chariot, but also in order to form a channel that allowed the chariots to cross the river as soon as possible, Jing Shuxuan even ordered the military trucks full of stones to drive directly into the moat.

The mortars and heavy machine guns on the city wall could only block the river but could not help the Japanese tanks, and if this development continued, the Japanese tanks would soon be able to come to the west bank to participate in the siege, Xie Wendong and He Daru felt that it was time for the mountain artillery company to speak, so their calls were successively called to Song Xilian's military headquarters.

"Commander Song! It's time! If the devils fill in this moat, their chariots will be able to come, and even if they can overturn a few of them, it will be useless! It's better to hit the fire and bombard him now! The Japanese army's sappers are not wide, and the 4 mountain guns can definitely block it, and blowing up the devil sappers can reduce their progress by at least half! Time is of the essence now! The pockets of the 99th Division have not been tied yet, we can't lose the Guanghua Gate! ”

Xie Wendong's opinion is very good, using expensive shells to blow up the devil's sappers, this would definitely be a cost-effective deal in peacetime, but now the devils are in a hurry to cross the river, and the sappers are on the blade, and now the sappers of the Japanese army are definitely a profitable deal, and Song Xilian is also moved!

"Thank you, Brigadier Commander! Captain Ho! Do as you say! him! I'll inform the artillerymen! ”

After receiving Song Xilian's order, the commander of the artillery company Zhang immediately dragged out the 75 mountain guns hidden in several arrow towers, although the Japanese artillery fire was fierce, but it did not hit the city wall much, and the artillery of the company commander Sun stayed in this section of the city wall was far away from Guanghua Gate. It is an area that the Japanese army cannot take care of.

Braving the defenders' mortar machine guns, the Japanese tanks went back and forth to the shore and the rear to act as a shield, unless it was a direct mortar shell hit, other methods could not hurt these Japanese tanks, the Japanese commanders also stopped from time to time to fire a cannon, the whistling shells were all towards the gate of Guanghua Gate, if it weren't for Song Xilian would have let people fill the city gate hole with sacks full of mud and sand, the two gates full of bullet holes would have fallen down long ago, in order to prevent the Japanese army from setting fire, Song Xilian also arranged for officers and soldiers to pour a large amount of water on the sacks, the temperature in Nanjing has been getting lower and lower in the past few days, and the sandbags that have been drenched in water at night will quickly freeze, and the sack pile inside the city gate is now like a big iron plate, and Song Xilian believes that the Japanese army will never be able to pass through the city gate hole of Guanghua Gate.

"Huh..... Rumble! ”

A shell landed in the pile of Japanese tanks, and the explosion of this shell was obviously much more powerful, and under the impact of the air wave, the nearest bean tank was affected somewhat, and the Japanese tank commanders immediately realized that it was a medium-caliber mountain artillery shell.

"Yaga! Artillery these rice buckets! I missed so much! ”

The commanders of the chariots unanimously made an extremely wrong judgment, they did not expect that this shell was a legal calibration shell of the Chinese artillery on the city wall.

"Ruler plus one, 4 volleys! Run out of shells! Fire......!!! ”

Balls of fire flew down from the Ming city wall!
