8.118 Dilemma

Perhaps because they tasted the sweetness of their cooperation with Huang Haoran, the commanders of the Soviet Air Force for China's aid did not leave Tianjiazhen as planned after the end of the joint operation, but on the contrary, they successively transferred a group of Soviet officers and advisers from the rear airfield. These old hairy people www.biquge.info asked Huang Haoran to divide a small piece on the side of the combat hall of the garrison headquarters to be the front line command of the Air Force, and Huang Haoran naturally accepted all the air support sent to his mouth.

The joint operation defeated the Japanese army aviation, and the defenders of the Madao fortress successfully blocked the Botian detachment, and compared with the continuous defeat of the 5th theater, Huang Haoran's two victories obviously attracted the attention of Wuhan more. The supreme authorities, who were willing to give "Xiao Zhuge a little stimulation", were particularly generous this time, not only sending a commendation telegram to Huang Haoran, but also asking He Jingzhi, minister of military affairs, to send a bonus of 30,000 yuan in legal currency.

After Huang Haoran got this reward, he took out another 20,000 legal currency to make the total 50,000, and then divided the money into three, one to the Air Force and the Soviet Air Force to aid China, one to Shi Jincai's artillery column, and the last one to the officers in the headquarters.

The first two rewards are reasonably divided, but the last one is actually buying people's hearts nakedly! After Huang Haoran took office, the officers of the 25th Group Army naturally provoked the newly formed Wuhan Garrison Command, so that the officers of the original Jiang Defense Army system inevitably felt left out. In addition, Huang Haoran has to carry out a campaign to crack down on corruption every time he goes to a position, and then hand over all the logistics departments to Wang Huanzhi's hands, which will definitely cut off some people's financial routes, so it is also necessary to give these old people in the river defense system some benefits!

Although this reward of only 180 yuan in the hands of everyone is nothing in the eyes of those "big rats" who are used to drinking the blood of soldiers, it is an extra income for those officers who have no way to make extra money!

Most of these young officers received insufficient salaries from the state, and sometimes they were in arrears, so they could not save any savings at all. However, many of them have become occupied areas, and their parents and brothers have fled to the southwest, and now is the time when they need money! Although a few dozen yuan is not much, it can make the family live for a few more months! This bounty that fell from the sky was a veritable timely rain!

After this money was distributed, Huang Haoran obviously felt that the young officers of the headquarters had become more respectful towards him, for these people, it was common for them to deduct military salaries and rewards, and it was the first time to see a general like Huang Haoran who always sounded in full and even rewarded his subordinates out of his own pocket!

The effect of 20,000 yuan of legal tender is real, and it has brought the cohesion within the Wuhan Garrison Command to a new level.

Fan Jie was the first person to feel this change in addition to Huang Haoran, and within half an hour of studying with Huang Haoran which direction Okamura Ningji might attack next, Fan Jie noticed that at least three officers came over with teapots to add water to Huang Haoran's tea bowl, and after someone opened the tea bowl again, he found that the tea in the bowl did not move, and he actually found an excuse of "the tea leaves have been brewed for a long time and the taste is not good" to pour the old tea and then refill it, and the service attitude is about to catch up with the old teahouse in Beiping.

When the visitor put down the tea bowl and walked away, Fan Jie couldn't help laughing, and he said to Huang Haoran: "You are the God of Wealth, you are comfortable enough!" It's just that our Deputy Commander Wang has to hold his money bag and shout that his stomach hurts! ”

Huang Haoran reached out and touched the back of his head, and then pretended to be very annoyed and said, "Where will you understand my suffering?" Let's just talk about this tea, the recent dosage is rising! I'm also distressed! ”

"I'm afraid that the general seat's words are not sincere, right......?" Fan Jie answered with a smile, completely disbelieving Huang Haoran's "explanation", and pointed at the tea bowl on the table with his finger.

Coincidentally, at this time, Xu Zilong walked in from outside the door with a bunch of messages and saw Fan Jie's actions. Xu Zilong thought that Fan Jie's gesture was signaling the guards next to him to pour tea for Huang Haoran, so Xu Zilong hurriedly walked to Huang Haoran and put the documents on the table, and then turned around to find the teapot.

Fan Jie saw Xu Zilong's actions and snickered, Huang Haoran wanted to remind Xu Zilong that he didn't need tea, but Fan Jie, who was in love, pulled his sleeves and stopped him.

"You wood! I don't know what to look at! I'm just going to be away for a while? No one came to add tea to the main seat! ”

Xu Zilong ran back with the teapot, and while fiddling with the lid on the teapot with his hand, he was angry at the guards on the side. The little guards who had been trained knew that Fan Jie, the chief of staff, wanted to tease Xu Zilong, so he had to endure and keep silent.

As a result, Xu Zilong was stunned on the spot after uncovering the lid of Huang Haoran's tea bowl, the water was about to fill the mouth of the tea bowl, and the tea leaves were obviously new, and even the leaves did not spread out!

"This ......!"

Seeing that Xu Zilong's jaw was about to fall to the ground, Fan Jie couldn't hold back any longer, and he began to laugh unscrupulously. When he had laughed enough, Fan Jie didn't forget to tease Xu Zilong a few more words:

"I said Captain Xu! You'll have to keep a closer eye on the main seat in the future! Those with teapots over there are holding back your place! ”

Although Xu Zilong hadn't figured out what Fan Jie meant by these words, the three officers who ran over to refill Huang Haoran just now understood it. Especially the major who replaced the whole cup of tea at the end, blushed from his face to his neck.

"That's it! Chief of Staff Fan! Let's get down to business! Okamura Ningji will soon attack Jiujiang, Zhang Fakui's burden is not light! ”

"Didn't the general seat give Zhang Fakui a clever plan? As long as the 2nd Corps fights according to your plan from the headquarters, Okamura Ninji will have no good fruit to eat! ”

After Huang Haoran became serious, Fan Jie also immediately returned to normal, Fan Jie and Huang Haoran did not have any different opinions on the matter of Okamura Ningji attacking Jiujiang, but Fan Jie thought that Okamura Ningji would order the 6th Division attacking Taihu Lake to occupy Guangji and then turn to attack Jiujiang, while Huang Haoran thought that Okamura Ningji would send a new army division to attack Jiujiang. But no matter which possibility it is, Zhang Fakui of Jiujiang will have a hard fight.

"I'm out of the strategy, but I'm not sure if Zhang Fakui can use it! Chief of Staff Fan, you might as well think about it carefully, when the Botian detachment attacked Ma Yuan, it was obviously the Tang Enbo group that was closest to Hukou, but Zhang Fakui transferred the Guan Linzheng group, which was farther away, to reinforce Hukou! This detail speaks volumes! I see that Zhang Fakui can't move the troops under him at all, so it's no wonder that Tang Enbo Group and Li Yannian Group, which one is not the heart of the commission? ”

Huang Haoran has always been not very optimistic about the battle situation in Jiujiang, and Huang Haoran is sympathetic to the predicament faced by Zhang Fakui, a few months ago in Lanfeng, Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie, the two army commanders, dared to ignore the overall situation, and disobeyed Huang Haoran and Xue Yue's orders, and now it is Tang Enbo to Zhang Fakui, I am afraid that the situation will be worse than Lanfeng!

"No matter what, we still have to remind Zhang Fakui, I feel that Okamura Ningji will attack Jiujiang in the next two days! After you send the telegram, go to those old Maozi next door and ask them to send two reconnaissance planes to the east of Jiujiang, especially if there are any Japanese transport ships on the river. Also, let Shen Lao Er take the 99th Army to Jiujiang to lean on, in case Jiujiang is really lost, we still have to defend the retreat of the defenders of Madao, and we can't let Zhang Guangfu be a lonely ghost! ”

is the so-called doing one's best to ensure the destiny of peace, that's all Huang Haoran can do for Zhang Fakui, and the rest depends on him Zhang Xianghua!

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

On the evening of September 1, the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake were drizzling and the sky was gloomy. In the corps headquarters, Zhang Fakui's heart suddenly felt a chill! Thinking of the warning sent by Huang Haoran during the day, Zhang Fakui suddenly had a premonition that the Japanese were likely to attack Jiujiang tonight! So he quickly jumped up from his seat and found the chief of the operational staff, and then commanded loudly: "The weather is bad tonight, the Japanese are likely to take the opportunity to land, you immediately inform the Jiujiang shore passes, as well as the defenders of Gutang to strengthen their vigilance, and there must be no negligence in the slightest." ”

But the more you worry about it, the more likely it is to happen, and at night, the wind on the lake becomes stronger. The wind swept by, and the surface of Poyang Lake set off waves. The howling of the wind and the lapping of the lake drowned out the sound of the motors of dozens of Japanese ships rushing towards Gutang. In the blink of an eye, the three Japanese transport ships and dozens of landing craft had entered a distance of more than 1,000 meters from the Gutang landing site.

At the moment when the Chinese defenders discovered this unexpected enemy situation, the Japanese artillery fire on the small island of Shoe Mountain in the lake flew overwhelmingly towards the Gutang defenders' position. Fireballs reflected the dark night sky of Gutang.

Immediately after the Japanese artillery opened fire, the landing craft in the lake began to accelerate towards the shore. The officers and men of a battalion of the 11th Pre-11th Division garrisoning Gutang hurriedly plunged into the battle, and there was no decent heavy firepower, and as a result, the battle lasted until midnight, and all the Chinese defenders of the first battalion were martyred, and the blood stained the scorched earth.

After the vanguard troops occupied the beachhead, the main force of the Japanese Songpu Division began to go ashore in a steady stream, and the landing ground expanded more and more! In order to prevent the follow-up troops of the Japanese army from continuing to go ashore, Zhang Fakui urgently ordered the reserve of the 11th Division to counterattack the Japanese troops who landed, and at the same time transferred follow-up reinforcements to reinforce the Gutang side of the battle.

Zhang Fakui's pre-war worries finally became a reality in front of him at this moment. The onslaught of the 11th Division in the second half of the night failed to regain the lost ground. After dawn, the Japanese army dispatched more than 100 sorties of fighters to hover in the sky and repeatedly bomb and strafe the second line of defense of the 11th Division. On the ground, the superior artillery fire of the Japanese army dropped a large number of shells on the reinforcements sent by the 2nd Corps! The reinforcements that Zhang Fakui finally mobilized were pressed on both sides of the road by the Japanese artillery fire, and he couldn't even raise his head, where was the strength to counterattack!

Give up the beachhead! Give up Jiujiang! Retreating to the second line is the right choice! Zhang Fakui's heart kept echoing with such a voice, but when he thought of the cold order issued by the highest authorities and Chen Cixiu, Zhang Fakui still couldn't make up his mind!
