On May 20, Xue Yue took office in the 1st War Zone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Taierzhuang fiasco has become a fact, and the Japanese army has lost face for it, and the exaggerated propaganda of the highest authorities has caused the Japanese military department to fall into an impulse for revenge. They believe that if they cannot deal a fatal blow to the Wuhan government militarily, no amount of explanation will be futile, and it may even become more embarrassing the more they explain.

More than 10 divisions and 300,000 soldiers of the Japanese army, divided into five routes, like an open giant palm, rushed towards Xuzhou. Among them, four roads have approached the periphery of Xuzhou and are about to form a trend of encirclement. On the other hand, the 14th Division of Tufeiyuan broke away from the main force and rushed south, intending to cut off the Longhai Road and prevent the Chinese troops from advancing eastward to reinforce the Zhengzhou and Kaifeng lines. The small Xuzhou area was once home to millions of Chinese and Japanese troops, and the thick war clouds were overwhelming.

The highest authorities never expected that the situation would evolve to such a point. Originally, he hoped that Chief Li could annihilate the Japanese army and create another miracle. To this end, he gritted his teeth and transferred his more than 20 central armies from various places to the Xuzhou battlefield. At the moment, it is good that these more than 200,000 people will also become dumpling stuffing for the Japanese army. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek had learned from the tragedy in Nanjing, and he would not let this tragedy repeat itself. On May 25, when the encirclement of the Japanese army was about to be formed, he sent a retreat order to Li Zongren, ordering the 5th Theater to immediately abandon Xuzhou and break through to the southwest.

The sound of firecrackers celebrating the victory of Taierzhuang has not yet dispersed, and after just over a month, the Chinese army has begun another big retreat!

The 100,000 fire and emergency telegram order dictated by the highest authority to Chief Li is:

Commander of the 5th Theater of Operations, Lee:

The Military Commission ordered your troops to avoid the decisive battle, evacuate Xuzhou, and break through the siege quickly.

1. Gu Zhutong and the 24th Group Army were in northern Jiangsu, and the 69th Army and the Marine Corps persisted in the war of resistance in central and southern Shandong.

2. Liu Ruming's 68th Army was the rear guard of the whole army, covering the transfer of the main force.

3. The rest of the 5th Theater immediately broke through to the Henan-Anhui Border Region......

According to the telegram order of the highest authority, Commander Li immediately divided the troops into five routes and broke through the encirclement separately

The first road: the headquarters of the commander of the 5th theater, the Huang Haoran Group Army, and the Liao Lei Group Army went south along the Jinpu Road from Xuzhou, and then turned around in the Suxian area

In the southwest, it crossed the Vortex River blockade near the boundary ditch.

The second route: Tang Enbo's corps and mechanized troops retreated westward from the Longhai Road Canal Station, crossed the Jinpu Road north of Fuliji, broke through the enemy blockade line between Suxian and Yongcheng, and then broke through the enemy's Vortex River blockade line from Wuyang.

Third Road: Sun Lianzhong's troops and Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army retreated southwest from Taierzhuang, crossed the blockade line west of Xiao County from the south of Xuzhou, and broke out of the blockade line again near Yongcheng.

The fourth road: Guan Lin's expeditionary department and the first part of the Sichuan army, crossed the Longhai Railway from Xuzhou, broke through to the northwest, and broke through the blockade line of Huangkou and Lizhuang.

Fifth Road: Sun Zhenbu, from Liuquan north of Xuzhou to the southeast rush, across the Longhai Railway, through Sixian to the southwest, between Guzhen and Bengbu through Jinpu Road, from the west of Huaiyuan to break through the Japanese army's vortex river blockade.

On the same day, a comforting news came to Huang Haoran. Ryosuke Isoya, who fled back to Jinan, was too seriously injured to receive timely medical treatment, and finally died in the Jinan Military Hospital after lingering on his hospital bed for more than a month. Huang Haoran can also be regarded as having an explanation for the thousands of soldiers killed in the 31st Division......

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

The Japanese did not wake up from the Taierzhuang fiasco. The senior staff members of the Japanese military headquarters in Tokyo fixed their eyes on the more than a dozen key points on the map from Tangshan to the west and the deployment area of more than 100,000 Chinese troops, but they did not feel that there was anything wrong with inserting more than 20,000 troops from Tuhihara into the more than 100,000 Chinese troops. It seems that they still did not take the Chinese army into account.

May 25th. At the same moment that Li Zongren received the order to retreat, the Tufeiyuan Division also crossed the Yellow River south, captured Heze, and waved his division south to the Longhai line. The Tohihara division is like a lone child cast by the Tokyo Go masters, breaking into the enemy's thick momentum.

When Xue Yue heard the news, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he was so excited that he was like a deer in his heart.

When the highest authorities heard the news, they hurried to the largest wall chart of the Military Commission, calculating and pondering, and finally a smile appeared on their thin face covered with dark clouds. Opportunity beckoned to him again, and the Japanese sent the fat piece of Tu Feiyuan up, just to see if he had the courage to bite down hard. After thinking about it, the highest authorities finally made up their minds: even if it is a bait, I will bite into it first. I'm sorry Li Delin, it's up to you to break through in the future. I'll clean up the soil first.

Huang Haoran, who was arranging for the retreat of the 25th Group Army, received a "royal telegram" from the highest authorities, asking Huang Haoran to rush to Zhengzhou to attend a military meeting. Huang Haoran didn't think of anything at first, on the way to Zhengzhou, he Cao Mengde remembered Tufeiyuan!

In the Battle of Taierzhuang, Huang Haoran has always had regrets in his heart, and now he has the opportunity to help Xue Yue take Tufeiyuan, which is also a pleasure!

Huang Haoran's division and the highest authorities arrived in Zhengzhou on the same day, and the black sedan took Huang Haoran to the Zhengzhou No. 1 Theater Governor's Department.

Standing at the forefront is Cheng Qian, the commander of the 1st Theater of Operations, because Cheng Qian is a veteran of the government, and the highest authorities call Cheng Qian "Song Gong" in front of people, so Huang Haoran has no grievances when he calls Cheng Qian "Song Gong".

Cheng Qian obviously didn't know that Huang Haoran would also come to Zhengzhou, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Xue Yue, who was standing behind Cheng Qian, looked at Huang Haoran carefully, wanting to see something from this "Changsheng General" who was younger than him.

Huang Haoran was a little uncomfortable stared at by Xue Yue, but because of Cheng Qian's side, Huang Haoran didn't ask Xue Yue why he was staring at him like this.

Half an hour later, the highest authorities visited the headquarters of the 1st Theater Governor in Zhengzhou. Cheng Qian did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly convened his subordinates to convene a military meeting of the 1st Theater. More than 20 officers at and above the division level in the theater sat around the table in the spacious war room of the commander's headquarters. Huang Haoran was placed second on the left, next to Chen Cixiu, who rushed to Zhengzhou with the highest authorities.

Xue Yue leaned in when the highest authority and Cheng Qian were separated, and asked in a low voice, "Does Song Gong have something to say to me?" ”

Cheng Qian looked around and found that no one noticed him and Xue Yue, so he answered Xue Yue's question in a low voice: "Boling... Originally, I intended to sponsor you to be the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, but when I met Huang Youchen today, I'm afraid this matter will become difficult! ”

"Why did Song Gong say this? Huang Youchen is now the deputy commander of the 5th theater, this is something that everyone knows, can the commission still allow Huang Youchen to work part-time in the 1st and 5th theaters? ”

Xue Yue had a higher level of thought than Huang Haoran from the beginning, and now he heard Cheng Qian vaguely say that in the minds of the highest authorities, Huang Haoran's status is higher than that of him Xue Yue, where can he still bear this breath, and his words have become sharper!

"Boling! You don't have to react like that, I'll do my best to help you! It is rumored in the government that Chen Cixiu is quite jealous of Huang Youchen, and it may be a good thing to have him today......"

Cheng Qian's words can be said to be out-and-out good words, but the arrogant Xue Yue still couldn't listen to it, just at this time the executive officer ordered him to enter, Xue Yue went straight into the conference room, and sat down in the third place on the right hand, but when he looked up, he just saw Huang Haoran sitting second on the left hand, and he was angry in his heart!

The meeting began, as usual, with the latest situation report from the Chief of Staff of the Theater. When the chief of staff of the 1st Theater made a report, the eyes of the highest authorities did not leave for a moment the big red arrow pointing directly at Longhai Road on the large wall chart. The thick red arrows were so dazzling and arrogant against the backdrop of the blue defense lines of the Chinese army, as if the flesh-faced Tu Feiyuan was proudly holding his huge head high and beckoning to the supreme authorities.

At this time, a new news pulled the highest authorities back from their contemplation.

According to Shen Fazao's report, after being blocked by the 87th Division, the right column of Fengming Fangtaro, who attacked Kaocheng, had given up the plan to cross Kaocheng and attack Lanfeng directly, but moved towards Yifeng, trying to join forces with the main force of the Tufeiyuan Division. It seemed that the hostile attack was aware of it, so it shrank its front and moved closer to the main force. ”

When the supreme authorities heard this, they frowned slightly, and asked, "Is the exact situation of the enemy forces on this road clear?" ”

"It has been ascertained that the road is the 27th Infantry Brigade led by Major General Toyomei Fangtaro, and the 28th Cavalry Wing and an artillery unit of the 14th Division, about 8,000 people."

The supreme authority said "uh-huh" twice, stood up, and paced two steps around the room, and the eyes of all the generals were focused on the supreme authority at this time. The air in the room was dreary for a moment.

After a while, the supreme authority stood still, his chair stood, and his eyes scanned the generals sitting around the table. finally fell on Cheng Qian, and asked in a slow tone:

"What do you think? Let's talk, let's talk. ”

Cheng Qian was not in a hurry to express his position. Since Cheng Qian knew that the highest authorities were coming to Zhengzhou, he knew that the highest authorities were going to take charge in person this time. He's all too familiar with this habit of the supreme authorities, and at the slightest moment, he'll get in the way of the supreme minister's department, and may for some reason get one of your troops out of sight. Well, there is no doubt about the use of troops, when will the highest authorities understand this. At this time, Cheng Qian was very envious of Chief Li.

The current situation is not as bad as when the Japanese army first attacked Xuzhou, and the highest authorities will naturally not let go of this opportunity to intervene, not to mention that the highest authorities brought Gui Yongqing's 27th Army with two tank battalions. Before the battle was fought, Cheng Qian had a sense of foreboding.

At this time, seeing the highest authority staring at him and asking, Cheng Qian thought for a while, turned to the highest authority and said:

"Tu Fei was originally a two-way attack, but now it has the intention of joining forces in one place. However, it seems premature to assert that the Japanese army discovered our attack attempt. Perhaps Feiyuan is more interested in detouring from the south of the Longhai line than from the north. But in any case, in general, the situation has not changed much, and the 20,000 people in Tufeiyuan have shrunk between Lanfeng, Neihuang, Minquan, and Kaocheng, and they are still in a situation of encirclement by us, so we can consider launching an attack and encircling and annihilating them. ”

The supreme authorities nodded frequently, and the generals present let go a lot at this time, and began to talk about it. At this time, the highest authorities remembered the two tiger generals present, Huang Haoran and Xue Yue.

"Boling, you are in front of you, what do you think?"

Xue Yue stood up, and Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly spoke: "Sit down and say, sit down and say." ”

"Bench, I agree with Chief Cheng. Since Tufeiyuan dared to cross the Yellow River by force, and the laborers sent it to the door, I also dared to open the net and accept it all. This time, since the Japanese dared to put on such a rare formation in the history of warfare, they obviously did not take our army seriously. If you don't return the color, how can you suppress its arrogance. Our 1st Corps has been fully prepared for several days, and we will wait for the chairman to take a seat. Xue Yue said passionately in an official dialect with a bit of Cantonese flavor.

"Okay, okay." The highest authorities turned their attention to Huang Haoran again and asked the question of almost Dongyang:

"Youchen fought very well in Xuzhou, and completely annihilated the Isogu Division, which was the first big victory since the Anti-Japanese War! What do you think of this soil and fertile plain? ”

Huang Haoran's brush flashed, he knew that the highest authorities liked these forms of things the most, so naturally he would not slack off:

"Commission, just now Song Gong and Boling have already talked about strategy, tactics and playing style, I will talk about some things that must be paid attention to! In the previous battles, our army has shown the same shortcoming, that is, it lacks a sense of cooperation and a spirit of cooperation! To command more than a dozen divisions to fight a war of annihilation, tactical strategy is of course very important, but if there is a lack of cooperation between various divisions, it will be equally difficult to accomplish! My words can be regarded as a reminder to Song Gong and Boling, as long as they can do it, they will definitely be able to defeat Tu Feiyuan! ”

After listening to Huang Haoran's speech, the highest authorities seemed very happy, and said loudly, "Now, the main force of our army in Xuzhou is breaking through separately and has basically got rid of the Japanese invaders. The battle situation in the Central Plains is gradually becoming clearer. The Military Commission has decided to launch the Battle of Lanfeng to wipe out the 14th Division, the arrogant enemy that is outstanding and adventurous, in the Lanfeng area in one fell swoop. Chief Li can make a great victory in Taierzhuang, and I believe that the 1st War Zone can also have today's brilliant move, and completely annihilate the Tufeiyuan, a division regiment. ”

The supreme authorities were red and emotional, and Venus flashed on their straight uniforms. Whenever he attended military meetings, he attached great importance to speech and demeanor and military appearance, and he knew that this was a good opportunity to set an example for his subordinates.

Seeing that the mood of the generals at the meeting was high and that the supreme authorities were also quite infected, the supreme authorities wanted to light a fire and burn the vigor of the generals present to destroy Tufeiyuan even more vigorously.

Thinking of this, the highest authority changed his words and asked:

"Do all of you know about this soil and fertilizer plain?"

The generals were stunned for a moment. In fact, Tu Feiyuan is notorious in China, and everyone here knows a little about it. It's just that the highest authority suddenly asked a question at this time, and everyone was puzzled, and no one was willing to speak rashly.

Only Huang Haoran stood up and said loudly: "Report the commission!" I understand this bastard! ”

Hearing Huang Haoran's foul language in front of the highest authorities, Cheng Qian, Xue Yue and Chen Cixiu were all a little stunned, and what surprised them even more was that the highest authorities were not angry, and beckoned Huang Haoran to continue!

Huang Haoran said loudly: "Tu Feiyuan is the Japanese soldier with the worst deeds on the battlefield in China, and he is even more hateful than Matsui Ishone. The reason why Northeast China and North China have today is all related to him. He was the mastermind of the '918' incident, he was the one who took Pu Yi hostage to the northeast, and it was also his idea to disturb the autonomy of North China. To say that he is a soldier is better to say that he is a conspirator, a political clown. If he doesn't get rid of such a guy today, he will still have to come up with some tricks in the future. I've heard that some Westerners call him 'Lawrence of the East'!

The highest authorities were obviously aroused by Huang Haoran's words, only to see the highest authorities gritted their teeth, slapped the table loudly, and said loudly:

"That's right! Tu Fei Yuan is a complete clown! I don't care if he is Eastern or Western, and today I want you to destroy him, Lawrence. ”

After the fire, the highest authority asked Huang Haoran, "Youchen, you seem to know this soil and fertilizer very well, have you paid special attention to this person?" “

Huang Haoran stood up again and replied: "Report the commission!" I like to collect information about Japanese generals, and if you want to defeat an opponent, you have to know him first! Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated! ”

"Excellent! Very good! Everyone applauded Youchen's words! ”

Now that the supreme authorities have opened their mouths, the generals present have to start slapping, whether they are willing or unwilling, in short, they have to make a sound.

Xue Yue's impression of Huang Haoran is even worse now, in his opinion, Huang Haoran is simply a sycophant!

After talking about Tufeiyuan, the highest authorities said some topics within the morale of military discipline, but these are not the main points, and the highest authorities are actually gambling on Zhengzhou this time. Chief Li can rely on Huang Haoran to prestige in Xuzhou, why can't his highest authority shake his prestige in Lanfeng. One Huang Haoran plus one Xue Yue, I don't believe that I can't take the soil and fertilizer!

For this reason, the highest authorities even brought his chariot troops, which were equipped with fine dollars. The supreme authorities were to personally direct the troops and destroy the Japanese by an entire division.

If this can be achieved, the highest authorities will be able to surpass his old rival, Chief Lee, both politically and militarily.

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

After the meeting was dismissed, the highest authorities summoned Huang Haoran alone, probably because they were too eager to win over Chief Li, and the highest authorities went straight to the point as soon as they came up, hoping that Huang Haoran could tell him that he could have a few chances of winning this siege of Tufeiyuan!

Huang Haoran pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to the highest authority:

"Do you want to listen to the truth, or do you want to tell a lie?"

The gaze of the highest authority suddenly turned cold, and then asked word by word: "How do you say this?" ”

Huang Haoran knew that the highest authorities would definitely be unhappy when they heard what he had just said, but he still said it. This is because the key to winning the battle of Lanfeng is actually neither Xue Yue nor Huang Haoran, but the supreme authority!

If the supreme authorities can't be made aware of the danger, Huang Haoran won't be able to get the Shang Fang Sword, and then Xue Yue won't be able to restrain those arrogant central troops, and the tragedy in history will be repeated! Ugly words, sometimes you need to say them in advance!

"Commission, I don't worry about the morale of the strategic and tactical army, Xue Boling is a tiger general, besieging Tufeiyuan with 100,000 heavy troops on the inner line, as long as there is no accident, it will win! That is to say, as long as the possibility of accidents is blocked, the soil fertilizer will not be able to run! ”

Playing the trick of slapping a sweet date in front of the highest authorities, Huang Haoran felt that the pressure was too great!
