Chapter 18: The Talents in the Prison

9.18 Talents in Jail

In 1938, Huang Jie was 37 years old, this young general with long eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, looked like a very suave young general. The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion was originally appointed by the highest authorities as the captain of the Wuchang Central Training Corps, and was taking a staff officer and secretary to Wuchang by train through Hankou to take up his post, and traveled to Zhengzhou, when he was invited by He Jingwu, director of the Pinghan Railway Bureau, to get off the train and convey the order of the highest authority: Huang Jie should stop going to Han and immediately lead the 8th Army to Guide and enter the Battle of Lanfeng.

He Jingwu was afraid that Huang Jie would be unhappy, so he had a feast at the Railway Bureau to entertain Huang Jie. During the banquet, Huang Jie drank and laughed happily, he was not the kind of person who was moody, and Huang Jie's heart was very happy to be able to lead the 8th Army to participate in the Battle of Lanfeng!

Huang Jie is a graduate of the first phase of Whampoa, and among the cadets who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, they are the most talented in the first phase! Aside from the several war zones elsewhere, the 2nd War Zone alone has a large number of elites who are born in the first phase of Whampoa!

Hu Zongnan, Guan Linzheng, Yu Jishi, Li Xianzhou, Gui Yongqing, Song Xilian, Li Wen, Li Yannian, Yan Xunfu are all Huang Jie's old classmates, and they are all in high positions now!

As the highest authority and Chen Cixiu's fellow countryman, Hu Zongnan has a clumsy and likable personality, so no one in the first phase of Whampoa dares to compare himself with Hu Zongnan. Compared with Hu Zongnan, who relied on his connections to climb up, Huang Jie's position is much more important, and he is favored by the highest authorities because he won the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. So according to the usual practice, the first student in the first phase of Huangpu to be promoted has always been Hu Zongnan, and Huang Jie is ranked second!

Now that Hu Zongnan has been the commander of the corps for almost a year, Huang Jie secretly thought in his heart that it was his turn to be promoted to corps commander. So after getting the order to participate in the Battle of Lanfeng, Huang Jie was smiling!

Especially after learning that the general who commanded the Battle of Lanfeng was Huang Haoran, Huang Jie was even more ecstatic! Huang Jie knew that Huang Haoran was the most victorious general among these graduates of Whampoa, and until now, Huang Haoran has won all the battles in the face of the Japanese!! Yu Jishi and Song Xilian, who followed Huang Haoran in Nanjing, were all promoted, and they were able to participate in the Battle of Lanfeng under the command of Huang Haoran, which made Huang Jie feel that he was the commander of the legion!

But Huang Jie miscalculated this time!

The 16th Division's onslaught on Guide was not just to rescue the 14th Division from Tufeiyuan, but in the eyes of the commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Imasago Nakajima, Guide was an important springboard, as long as it could occupy here, his 16th Division could directly smash the Pinghan Railway, join forces with the Japanese army in Central China in Xinyang, and the three towns of Wuhan would be in full view.

Therefore, when his vanguard launched an attack on Xiayi and Jiazhai on the outskirts of Guide, the commander of Nakajima's Isago Division gave death orders to several of his wing commanders!

Facing the Japanese wing commanders who rushed to the front of the attack queue brandishing their war knives, Huang Jie's 8th Army couldn't resist.

Although the 8th Army had three divisions, the 40th, 102nd, and 190th Divisions, only the 40th and 102nd Divisions were actually more combat-effective. The newly attached 190th Division was all Guangdong recruits, and had no combat experience, and even the light and heavy machine guns were only taken out of the warehouse of the Military Commission when the division was transferred from Guangdong to the north through Hankou, and it was not until the front line in Germany that the boxes were opened and distributed, and the soldiers would not use them at all!

The positions of Guide Castle and the 8th Army were buried in the smoke and flames of the 16th Division, which was the commander of Nakajima's Imasa Division. The Japanese army used more than 40 planes to indiscriminately bomb the 8th Army's deep positions and Guide City, and used observation balloons to direct direct fire at the 8th Army's forward positions.

When the smoke from the artillery fire condensed into a dark cloud and the horizon showed a glimmer of light, the sun flags swayed, summoning a killing sound that shook the heavens and the earth.

Dangshan City does not have an upright wall; Zhuji Station was captured by Yamada three times, and the 40th Division was restored three times. In less than 8 hours, the 40th Division, the main force in Huang Jie's hands, suffered more than 700 officers and soldiers below the deputy commander, and the corpses on the railway were as dense as sleepers.

In the headquarters of the 8th Army at Liuhe Station, Huang Jie stood anxiously next to the radio station and waited for the translator to decipher the telegram. The connection with Zhengzhou was broken, and the connection with Kaifeng was also broken. The confidential section chief of the 8th Army finally got in touch with Tang Enbo's regiment in Bozhou, and Huang Jie used the password to grind with Tang Enbo for two hours, and finally received Tang Enbo's reply.

Although the telegram sent by Tang Enbo was several pages long, there was only one sentence at the core, that is, "The Tang Army has no troops to support the 8th Army"!

After reading Tang Enbo's telegram, Huang Jie felt like a kite with a broken string, and he was about to fall. The east, north, and south sides of the 8th Army had been blockaded by the Japanese army, and if they did not lead their troops to retreat westward, it was very likely that the entire army would be annihilated. So Huang Jie made a decision and ordered all units of the 8th Army to "turn in" to Kaifeng.

"Bench! I'm really helpless! Tang Enbo will not be saved when he sees death! I... My 8th Army suffered heavy casualties and could not hold out! ”

In the cell of the Military Commission, Huang Jie knelt at Huang Haoran's feet with a puff, and told his grievances with a handful of snot and tears! Huang Haoran looked coldly at this military commander who had ruined his good deeds, and really wanted to kick Huang Jie to the ground!

Of course, Huang Haoran knows that everything Huang Jie is doing now is acting! Among the students in the first phase of Whampoa, only he, Huang Jie, can be promoted after Hu Zongnan, of course, not just because of the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal that Huang Jie exchanged for the Great Wall of Blood. There are many generals with military exploits in the Battle of the Great Wall, why did the highest authorities take a fancy to Huang Jie? That's certainly why!

Huang Jie is not only handsome and chic, but also has exquisite eyes. In addition to being able to drill camps, he also has a brilliant pen! Although Huang Jie's record in the Great Wall War of Resistance was not outstanding, he published an article in the newspaper called "The Battle of the Great Wall of the Second Division of the Army", which was wonderful! The impact is widespread! Huang Jie also became famous because of this!

In the "813" Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Huang Jie's 8th Army had a mediocre record. However, the article he wrote, "Documentary of the Eighth Army's Songhu War of Resistance", greatly boosted the prestige of the 8th Army, and he fought a bloody battle in Songhu with the 8th Army, and his record was several times better than that of the 8th Army.

How could Huang Haoran believe the "reason" for retreat said by a person like Huang Jie who is "clever as a spring"?

"Oh? In this way, Commander Huang, have you been wronged? ”

Hearing that Huang Haoran's tone showed signs of loosening, Huang Jie performed even harder, he first hugged Huang Haoran's thigh and cried, and then lay on the ground and scolded Tang Enbo with his chest, as if Huang Jie had no responsibility for losing his virtue!

This guy is really talented! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
