Hanjia Temple, the former enemy command post of Taierzhuang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fan Jie, chief of staff of the 25th Group Army, walked in with the latest telegram from General Sun Lianzhong in his hand, his expression was a little gloomy, and his two brows were tightly twisted together, forming a Sichuan character.

When Fan Jie walked, there seemed to be a low pressure around him, and this emotion was quickly transmitted to the combat staff officers in the former enemy command post, and the former enemy command post, which was originally full of people, suddenly became very quiet.

Huang Haoran, who was lying on the table and immersed himself in studying the combat map, felt the abnormal atmosphere around him. He raised his head and looked back, only to see Fan Jie with a serious expression standing behind him with a telegram, as if there was some urgent military business.

"Chief of Staff Fan, what's wrong with you? We're about to take a big move against the Japanese army, look at your sad face, aren't you afraid of shaking the hearts of the army? ”

Huang Haoran's tone was like joking with Fan Jie, and he swept away the dull atmosphere of bringing Fan Jie into the front enemy command post with only a few words. The expressions on the faces of the operational staff officers gathered around the tactical sand table became relaxed again, and after a while, the entire command post of the former enemy returned to normal operation.

"Commander, this is Sun Lianzhong's telegram, which says... Ay... See for yourself! ”

Fan Jie's words were only half spoken, and his attitude of wanting to speak and stopping made Huang Haoran a little unaccustomed. Hearing Fan Jie say that he was holding Sun Lianzhong's telegram in his hand, Huang Haoran immediately made a judgment that it should be Tang Enbo's 20th Army that had something new going on.

Now Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the 2nd Group, is most concerned about only two issues: first, whether Chifeng City can hold Taierzhuang; The second is when Tang Enbo's 20th Army will be able to attack from behind the Japanese army!

Although the defenders of Taierzhuang have been struggling to support, there are no signs of imminent collapse. Huang Haoran successively transferred several troops into Zhuangnei to give Chifeng City's 31st Division great support. With the increasing number of casualties of the 2nd Group Army, the number of officers and men of the 25th Group Army in Taierzhuangzhuang on the north bank of the canal has now exceeded the number of officers and men of the 2nd Group Army.

In general, the current situation of the defenders of Taierzhuang can be said to be thrilling! The things that could make Sun Lianzhong anxious to send a telegram to the enemy's command post in front of him, and what could make Fan Jie report with a black face were mostly related to Tang Enbo.

Huang Haoran took the message in Fan Jie's hand, opened it and quickly browsed it, and sure enough! This telegram really has something to do with Towne!

The time had come to the morning of April 5, 1938, and according to the request of Commander Li to Tang Enbo's troops in the order, the 20th Army should have gone to the outskirts of Taierzhuang and established contact with Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army.

But Sun Lianzhong said in the telegram that as of 10 o'clock in the morning, the 2nd Army had not even seen the shadow of the Tang Army! The radio station of the 20th Army Corps was always silent, and there was no battle on the front line of Zaozhuang and Guoliji! Sun Lianzhong is now very worried that Tang Enbo will once again disobey Chief Li's military orders!

"Commander! I don't think Towneburgh will send troops this time! According to the report of Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army in the direction of Linyi, the Guan Lin Expedition Department of the 52nd Army of the Tang Army only sent a small force to Taierzhuang! I said before that I would arrive at noon on the 5th! Now it seems that Tang Enbo's promise that Chief Li and the commander would send troops south was just an errand! There is also the commander who has always admired Guan Lin Zhengguan Commander, whose performance is not much better than Tang Enbo! It doesn't seem to be that way......"

As Huang Haoran's chief of staff, Fan Jie participated in the entire Taierzhuang battle plan from the beginning to the implementation of the mid-term. Fan Jie watched Huang Haoran and Chief Li turn the words in the plan into reality step by step, and he naturally hoped that the Battle of Taierzhuang would have a perfect ending.

Now that nearly eighty percent of the strength of the Isogu Division has entered the encirclement set by Huang Haoran and Chief Li in advance, it is seen that the Battle of Taierzhuang is about to enter the final stage! Fan Jie really didn't want to see everything Huang Haoran and Chief Li do come to naught because of Tang Enbo, a war-avoidant!

Fan Jie's words with anger naturally won't sound good, not only Tang Enbo was despised by Fan Jie, but even Guan Linzheng was also strained!

"There are also a lot of patriotic soldiers in the 20th Army Corps, Chief of Staff Fan, you really shouldn't overturn a boatload of people with one rod......"

Huang Haoran said a few words of exculpation for Guan Linzheng, and he always insisted that Guan Linzheng should be treated differently from Tang Enbo, otherwise, it would be a little unfair.

"Commander! Would you like to discuss the transfer of the Tang Army with Chief Li again? Now that the Tang Army is attacking for one minute every night, Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army and our 25th Army will suffer many more casualties! This senseless sacrifice is really unnecessary! ”

Huang Haoran nodded and agreed with Fan Jie's opinion. Although Lin Wei and Jiang Baili had already reminded Huang Haoran not to get too close to Chief Li and other local faction leaders, how could Huang Haoran, as the deputy commander of the 5th Theater and the former enemy commander-in-chief of Taierzhuang, not deal with his immediate bosses, colleagues, and subordinates?

To defend the battles of Xuzhou and Taierzhuang, you need to shed blood and sacrifice of miscellaneous troops, and put on a domineering face to let others die for you, will people be willing?

The supreme authorities' demand that the generals of the Central Army "maintain purity" is too idealistic!

"Okay! Call the Xuzhou Theater Governor's Department now! I'm going to have a good talk with Degong about this Tang Enbo! ”

Fan Jie replied, "Yes!" After that, he waved his hand and motioned to the guard next to him to bring the telephone to the table next to Huang Haoran, and Huang Haoran immediately stopped Fan Jie's move, and it was better not to have too many people around on the phone between him and Chief Li.

After being reminded by Lin Wei and Jiang Baili, Huang Haoran decided to try to keep a low profile in terms of his intersection with local figures.

"Let's go! Let's find a quiet place......"

Huang Haoran glanced at Fan Jie, then turned around and walked out of the war room, Fan Jie immediately understood Huang Haoran's intentions, and after he turned around in the war room, he also walked out.

As soon as Fan Jie went out, he saw Huang Haoran's guards standing at the end of the corridor waving at him, Fan Jie hurriedly walked over, and then walked into a small garden under the guidance of the guards.

In order to defend against the Japanese air raids, the engineers temporarily dug an air-raid shelter under the rockery in the garden, and this temporary air-raid shelter was what Huang Haoran called a quiet place.

Fan Jie bent down into the hole of the bomb shelter, bowed his head and took a few steps before finally entering a hut, where Huang Haoran sat on a marching horse, and a telephone was placed at his feet.

"Sit down! The height of this bomb shelter is very low, and it is easy to knock your head when you stand. ”

Huang Haoran stretched out his hand and pointed to the foot of the wall, Fan Jie turned his head to look, and saw that the foot of the wall was leaning against several unopened Maza. He turned around and took one back, opened it and sat down, while Huang Haoran picked up the phone and began to shake the handle.

"I'm Huang Haoran! Pick up Xuzhou! I want the 5th Theater Command Chief Lee! ”

After several minutes of silence, the voice of Chief Li came from the other end of the phone:

"Youchen! Call me at this time, is there something new in Taierzhuang? ”

Chief Li's voice was very clear, there was no noise around, it should be in his office. Huang Haoran wanted to know if Chief Li had received a telegram from Sun Lianzhong exposing Tang Enbo.

"Degong! This battle has entered the final stage, but the Tang Enbo Department is still slow to act! Sun Si just sent a telegram to me, saying that as of 10 o'clock this morning, the 2nd Army had not seen a single soldier of the Tang Army! Didn't the order given by Duke De to the Tang Army require them to have contact with Sun Lianzhong's troops before dawn on the 5th? He, Tang Enbo, is not disobedience and what is it!? ”

Speaking of excitement, Huang Haoran's voice unconsciously raised an octave. Fan Jie, who was sitting opposite Huang Haoran, had concern written on his face, and he kept pricking up his ears to listen to what Huang Haoran said, hoping that this conversation between Huang Haoran and Chief Li could discuss a way to contain Tang Enbo!

"Youchen! It's not that you don't know that the Tang Army is a typical Taibao army! It's hard to use, it's hard to teach, it's hard to tune! I have sent five telegrams to Towne, and he dares to turn a deaf ear! Some people in Xuzhou are already saying that the reason why Tang Enbo is so arrogant and domineering is because the commission is behind him to support him! But I know that this time, the committee did not interfere in the affairs of the Tang Army......."

After all, Chief Li is an old Jianghu, although he also hates Tang Enbo in his heart, he can still suppress the fluctuations in his heart and calmly analyze the problem. The highest authorities had promised Chief Li that he would not meddle in the affairs of the 5th Theater of Operations, and so far the highest-grade army has done quite well. Unlike most of the local faction leaders, Chief Li would settle the accounts with the highest authorities whenever he encountered something related to the Central Army. Chief Li believes that what Tang Enbo did this time should just be carrying the signboard of the highest authority and pretending to be a tiger! Wuhan is now in great need of respite, and the highest authorities hope more than ever that the 5th War Zone can win a battle in Taierzhuang! In this way, his precious Central Army could rest his troops in the rear and change into military aid sent by the Soviets.

The highest authorities can still distinguish between the whole of China and one Tang Enbo!

Chief Li's words were not hurried or slow, and they were very clear. After thinking about it carefully, Huang Haoran felt that Chief Li's analysis was very accurate, but what they needed now was not to find out where the problem was, but to solve it!

"Degong! Since Tang Enbo advertises him everywhere as a loyal follower of the commission, we might as well use the commission to suppress Tang Enbo's spirit! Now Wuhan has a request for Degong, if Degong asks the commission to come forward to deter Tang Enbo, the commission will definitely agree! ”

Since Tang Enbo's death hole is the highest authority, Huang Haoran decided to target this point, he suggested that Chief Li go to move the Buddha of the highest authority to be a rescuer, Huang Haoran did not believe that Tang Enbo dared to go against the will of the highest authority!

"Brother Youchen, you've finally gone with me again! I have already sent a telegram to the commission, and the situation of the Tang army's avoidance of the war has been reported to the commission, if Tang Enbo is allowed to continue to make such nonsense, I am afraid that the war in Xuzhou will be eroded! As soon as the matter of the Tang Army is settled, our army will launch a full-scale siege of the Isoya Division! I don't know if your 25th Army is ready? ”

Chief Li smiled and told Huang Haoran that he had already taken the lead and stabbed Tang Enbo's matter to the highest authorities. In fact, Chief Li was also forced to do this, as a battle-hardened famous general, of course Chief Li wanted to impress Tang Enbo with his personality charm, but unfortunately Tang Enbo did not appreciate it at all, and repeatedly ignored Chief Li's military orders, in order to ensure that the battle of Taierzhuang could be successfully closed, Chief Li had to turn to the highest authorities in Wuhan for help!

The highest authorities must have been very happy to see Chief Lee's telegram, right? The highest authorities have always disliked his Whampoa generals getting too close to the local powerful factions, and now Tang Enbo and Chief Li have stiffened their relationship to the point where they need to find the highest authorities to fight a lawsuit, which must have made the top authorities feel a sense of accomplishment!

The people you Li Delin can't command obey me, Jiang someone! The highest authorities finally pulled back the city in front of Chief Lee.

"Since Degong already has a complete arrangement, then I won't bother! I promise Degong! As long as the commission can get the 20 legions in place in time, the end of Ryosuke Isoya will come! ”

Huang Haoran knew Chief Li's temper very well, and he also knew what Chief Li wanted to hear the most. No, Huang Haoran's last words made Chief Li on the other end of the phone smile, and hung up the phone very happily.

Huang Haoran hung up the phone and said to Fan Jie: "I think you should already know the result, and if you can force Duke De to sue in front of the commission, he Tang Enbo can be regarded as a good show of loyalty!" At this point, I'm inferior to him! ”

Fan Jie smiled and said, "Commander! If you become a person like Tang Enbo, I will have to disarm and return to the field......"

Listening to Fan Jie's words, Huang Haoran couldn't help laughing, and the laughter of him and Fan Jie's came out of the passage of the air-raid shelter, and the guards standing next to the rockery all showed happy expressions after hearing it.

The commander and the chief of staff laughed, and the little devil should have cried......

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

At the military headquarters of the 85th Army, Wang Zhonglian, the commander of the 85th Army, paced back and forth in the room with a pair of hands behind his back. Two of his subordinates, Chen Daqing, commander of the 4th Division, and Zhang Xuezhong, commander of the 89th Division, stood next to him and kept complaining.

"Throne! Do we really want to listen to the transfer of Li Delin, the 'Gui warlord' this time? At present, the fierce battle in Taierzhuang is in full swing, and Ryosuke Isoya has made it clear that he wants to fight hard with Huang Haoran! If we rush forward at this time, won't we become the substitutes of the 25th Army? ”

Zhang Xuezhong, commander of the 89th Division, was full of hostility towards Chief Li, the commander of the 5th Theater, and he even directly called Chief Li a "warlord of the Gui family." You must know that even the highest authorities have always called Chief Li "Duke De" when there are people.

As soon as Zhang Xuezhong's words fell, Chen Daqing immediately spoke:

"Yes! Throne! Think about it, Chief Li, why didn't he order Huang Haoran's 25th Army to attack, but he always called to urge our 20th Army to join the war as soon as possible? Who doesn't know that Huang Haoran is a celebrity in front of the commission! Chief Li is clearly when our 20th Army is a soft persimmon! It's cannon fodder! But you must not fall for Li Delin! ”

Since Tang Enbo issued a new combat order, Chen Daqing and Zhang Xuezhong ran to Wang Zhonglian's military headquarters to live or die, and the 4th and 89th divisions under their command naturally did not go according to the predetermined plan.

Wang Zhonglian knew very well in his heart that in fact, Commander Tang did not make up his mind to lead the 20th Army Corps to the south. As the main force of the 20th Army Corps, the 85th Army has been standing still, but Commander Tang has ignored it, which is already very telling!

Commander Tang was still ignoring Chief Li's orders, still looking for an excuse to delay time. Leaving the 85th Army in the mountains with one eye turned a blind eye and then ordering the 52nd Army to send a small part of the 2nd Army to the south, which was a tactic that could be fought and walked, was in essence nothing more than a show, fooling the theater commander's headquarters.

Take Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army as an example, in addition to the troops directly under the army, the 52nd Army also has 8 regiments. However, according to Commander Tang's plan, the 52nd Army could only send 3 regiments of troops as the first echelon. Such a way of dispersing the use of troops, Guan Linzheng did not approve of it from the beginning.

Guan Linzheng has always advocated that if we want to fight, we should concentrate our forces on a big fight, and absolutely not fight piecemeal. Therefore, Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army did not send three infantry regiments to aid Taierzhuang in accordance with Tang Enbo's order, but only sent a small reconnaissance force to the area of Zhanglou, more than 10 kilometers north of Taierzhuang, to investigate the enemy's situation, and the main force of the 52nd Army remained in the area 30 kilometers north of Taierzhuang.

How did Guan Linzheng know that the reason why Commander Tang made the order to split the 52nd Army was that he didn't want Guan Linzheng to send troops to reinforce Taierzhuang, and now, Commander Tang's goal has been achieved!

Everything is still spinning in place, and the 20th Army Corps is attacking, but it is just an empty phrase on paper!

"Master Zhang! Master Chen! You have to trust Commander Tong's judgment! We can all figure out the problem, how can the commander not think of it? Look at Guan Linzheng, he looked righteous and awe-inspiring before, and he wanted to make immortal achievements! Didn't he turn out to be firmly tied to the side of the commander? With the support of the commission in the back, what is there to be afraid of in our 20 Corps? ”

Wang Zhonglian's words made Chen Daqing and Zhang Xuezhong excited, and they continued to speak ill of Chief Li, just like the passive avoidance of the 20th Army Corps was a matter of course!

"The commander is really wise! It's not that our 20th Army Corps doesn't resist Japan, it's that he Li Delin deceives people too much! At the beginning of the Battle of Taierzhuang, the 31st Division of Chifeng City was under the control of our commander, but later it was suddenly assigned to Huang Haoran by Li Delin! If it weren't for the fact that the 25th Group Army is also the Central Army, the commander would have turned against Li Delin a long time ago! What a division, the duck to the beak is gone! ”

Chen Daqing couldn't control his mouth when he was excited, Tang Enbo's desire to annex the 31st Division of Chifeng City was just an immature idea, but now it was said by Chen Daqing that he had a nose and eyes, as if he had been planning for a long time!

"Isn't it! And Zhang Zhen's 110th Division! Originally, it was also assigned to our 20th legion! With a wave of his hand, Li Delin gave the 110th Division to Sun Lianzhong! These local warlords! Sure enough, it is against our Central Army everywhere! As everyone knows, they are making enemies of Wuhan by doing so! Enemies of the Commission! Don't think of us when it's good, think of us when you're at war? How can there be such a cheap thing! ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Xuezhong's words Wang Zhonglian and Chen Daqing nodded like pounding garlic! The three of them are really a raccoon dog! (To be continued.) )
