7.72 Forced out of the 20 Corps

Almost at the same time that the 1st Platoon was ambushed by the Japanese, all the troops of the 121st Division were attacked by the Japanese. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After discovering that many battles were obviously not breaking out on the Japanese position, Mu Lianxi, the commander of the 3rd battalion in command, understood that something was wrong!

Shangshan Duo finally encountered a tiger, but the little devil still adapted to the attack tactics of the 121st Division and made corresponding deployments. At the moment, the priority before the raiding troops of the 121st Division has become a retreat.

Battalion Commander Mu reported the latest situation on the battlefield in Tengxian County to the regiment commander Zheng Tao and the division commander Wu Jianping, and Mu Lianxi needed to go to the peak to give him the latest instructions, even if he had to fight on the front line, he had to ask for reinforcements first.

At the headquarters of the 121st Division, Wu Jianping and Deputy Division Commander Mu Tingfang were eagerly discussing the military map, and they had to figure out what the Japanese army's intentions were as soon as possible in order to formulate targeted countermeasures.

"Commander Zheng, do you think the Japanese army in Teng County will send the main force this time? If that's the case, we can do what we want, command the troops to retreat towards Taierzhuang, and pull the devil to the commander's side! It's also a pleasure to look at Tang Enbo's face here!"

"What the master said is extremely true! I think that Towneburgh is a tortoise! A few days ago, our 121st Division took advantage of so many devils, and the 20th Army Corps didn't move half a step, and now we have suffered a loss, I think Tang Enbo will not let his baby 20th Army attack! ”

Although Wu Jianping and Mu Tingfang's words entered Zheng Tao's ears, they did not enter Zheng Tao's heart, as the number of battle reports sent back from the front became more and more detailed, Zheng Tao felt that he seemed to have gradually seen the plans of the Japanese.

"Division, Deputy Division Commander Mu, we have invested a total of three battalions on the front line, and this attack only used half of the troops as usual, about a thousand people. At present, we are basically besieged by the Japanese army on several battlefields, and if the Japanese army in Tengxian County wants to achieve such a strategic advantage, it must at least invest more than twice as many troops as us! In other words, the devil's investment should be about 3,000 people, which has already exceeded half of the total strength of the Japanese army in Teng County! It seems that the scale of this battle is not small even if you want to! However, according to my observation, the Japanese army still has no intention of marching towards Taierzhuang......"

Wu Jianping still attached importance to Zheng Tao's views as always, although he was a little reluctant to accept the fact that the Japanese army still refused to go south, but he still said that he would let Zheng Tao continue to speak.

"It seems that since the last time our 121st Division attacked the store twice, the vitality of the 10th Division has not eased up, and most of the counterattack and harassment operations launched by the Japanese army against our 121st Division this time were also the reactions that we had to make in a hurry in the past few days. This can be proved by the fact that the Japanese army has not yet taken advantage of the situation to attack the position of the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army, and if the Seya detachment really wanted to go south, the front of the exchange of fire should have been moved to the line of Guanqiao a long time ago. ”

When Zheng Tao was talking about his opinion, Wu Jianping and Mu Tingfang had been staring at the map, and when Zheng Tao didn't say this, Wu Jianping and Mu Tingfang hadn't noticed that the movements of the Japanese army were regular. Now with Zheng Tao's reminder, Wu Jianping and Mu Tingfang found that the area where the Japanese army and the 121st Division were engaged was basically within less than 5 kilometers of Teng County.

"Since the devil doesn't want to move, let's just add a fire! A counter-encirclement of the Japanese troops! I don't believe that Seya Kai has the courage not to attack these 3,000 Japanese troops! I am afraid that the loss of equipment in the two stores is already in a hurry, if there is another defeat, the Japanese commander of Teng County will be replaced! ”

Wu Jianping had a new idea under the inspiration of Zheng Tao, he planned to lead the 121st Division to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army's attacking troops, the 121st Division's operation did not seek to be able to annihilate the Japanese army, the main purpose was to pull the Japanese army to Taierzhuang, so that the Taierzhuang battle plan in the theater could be carried out as usual!

Zheng Tao was obviously driven by Wu Jianping's emotions, he bent down and began to measure back and forth on the map, Wu Jianping and Mu Tingfang understood that Zheng Tao was planning to do it! Thinking that the battle of Taierzhuang would be kicked off by the 121st Division, Wu Jianping and Mu Tingfang felt a burst of excitement in their hearts for no reason!

But gradually, Zheng Tao's brows became tighter and tighter, and his facial expression became serious, Wu Jianping hurriedly asked, "What?" Feel like something is wrong? ”

"Master! I'm afraid we don't have enough troops..... Once the devil increases his troops, I'm afraid we will have to suffer, so it's best to report to the commander first. ”

"Can the Commander agree? The main forces of the group army are concentrated in Taierzhuang and are ready to fight big fish, we have to do it in Tengxian, what if the devil doesn't go to Taierzhuang? Isn't the layout of the war zone all in vain? The commander didn't punish us, and he snickered, and he still wanted reinforcements? ”

This time, before Wu Jianping could speak, the deputy division commander Mou Tingfang expressed his opposition, for the combat effectiveness of the 121st Division, Mu Tingfang has always had little confidence, he is a stubborn conservative.

"Let's report it first, Deputy Division Commander Mu, it's useless for our division to stumble to death! If you want to deal with the Seya detachment, you can only ask the commander to increase the troops! Wu Jianping first said a few words impassionedly, but soon he revealed his true thoughts in his heart. If the commander had made other arrangements, we would have done so, wouldn't we? Teng County has to make an early decision whether to fight or withdraw! ”

In the face of Wu Jianping's golden mean, Zheng Tao couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart, the loyalty of the commander of the 121st Division to the commander of the Guizhou Army is quite good, but the ability to fight this war is really poor.

One of the first local armies to take refuge in the highest authorities, the Qianjun army has become accustomed to being cautious and listening to the command to fight, and when he was in Nanjing, Huang Haoran was in charge of the 121st Division, Wu Jianping and Mou Tingfang only needed to move once, so their performance was quite qualified.

Now that it is time for Wu Jianping and Mu Tingfang to make their own decisions, the 121st Division is timid. Zheng Tao looked at Wu Jianping and Mu Tingfang, and then said in a low voice:

"That's it! However, before the order of the general assembly is issued, we will send two regiments to support our besieged troops, the little devil is very vindictive this time, we can't delay the rescue time! ”

"Hmmm! Let Chang Wenyi rush with the 659 regiment, and Zhou Wenbin's 660 regiment will follow up and suppress the formation, don't fall in love with the battle, just take back the troops. ”

Speaking of which, Wu Jianping and Mu Tingfang still did not put all their capital into the consciousness of the Anti-Japanese War, although they are also Huang Haoran's old generals, but they are not as big as the newcomer, Liu Zhaomu is firm......

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

The news that the 20th Army Corps Headquarters and the 121st Division were surrounded by the Japanese Seya Detachment had reached here, although Tang Enbo had no intention of using force against the Japanese army, it did not mean that he did not care about everything that happened in Teng County.

In fact, Tang Enbo's 20 Corps sent the most scouts to the Chinese army in the Tengxian area.

It is necessary to keep abreast of changes in the battlefield in order to respond, and of course, Town's "response" refers to how to better preserve strength, not to respond to Japanese attacks.

However, not all of Towne's generals shared his ideas. The commander of the 52nd Army, Guan Linzheng, was the leader of the main battle faction in the 20th Army Corps, and when Wang Mingzhang was trapped in Teng County, Guan Linzheng and his two division commanders, Zheng Dongguo and Zhang Leiming, had actively asked Tang Enbo to fight, and later because the Sichuan army was defeated too quickly, Teng County quickly fell to the end.

Tang Enbo knew Guan Linzheng's temper very well, if the troops of the 20th Army stationed at Guanqiao when Wang Mingzhang was besieged were not Wang Zhonglian's 85th Army but Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army, I am afraid that Guan Linzheng would have already participated in the war!

Tang Enbo later used his reason of "miscellaneous army threatens the unification plan of the commission" to temporarily suppress Guan Linzheng's anger, but he knows that this can only be an expedient measure!

When the news of the 121st Division falling into a bitter battle in Tengxian came, Tang Enbo immediately thought that this time Guan Linzheng would definitely ask for war again, because the 121st Division was the Central Army, the old excuse from before could not be used this time!

Sure enough, when he learned that the Chinese army attacked by the Japanese army this time was replaced by the 121st Division of the 100th Army of the 25th Group Army, which was the same as the 20th Army of the Central Army, Guan Linzheng thought that this time Commander Tang had no excuse to avoid the battle, so he took the lead in asking Tang Enbo to fight!

"The 121st Division is nothing more than a medium-combat infantry division of the 25th Army, and it is absolutely impossible to solve the Seya detachment alone! Commander! The martyrdom of General Wang has already caused our 20th Army Corps to bear too many charges, the 121st Division is a unit of the 25th Group Army, and Huang Haoran is the deputy commander of the theater! My subordinates think it's time for us to strike! I, the 52nd Army, would like to be a pioneer! Sweep the way forward for the Legion! ”

Looking at the high-spirited Guan Linzheng, Tang Enbo first sighed faintly, and then began to tell Guan Linzheng his difficulties in a "serious" tone.

"Yudong! Where will you know how hard it is for me to do it? Originally, the committee was unwilling to let our 20th Army Corps come to the 5th Theater to participate in the war, but according to the arrangement of the Military Commission, our 20th Army Corps belonged to the sequence of the Zhengzhou camp and was directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Commission. No one can control us at all, and then it was because Huang Haoran promised to give the commission a big victory in Xuzhou, and the commission reluctantly agreed to pull our 20th legion to Taierzhuang! Songhu, Nanjing, and North China, how many elites did the Central Army lose? The commission is also distressed! Our 20th Army Corps is one of the few remaining complete divisions in the Central Army, and there really can't be any more mistakes! Before leaving, the commission repeatedly instructed me to be optimistic about the capital of the Central Army, and not to make cannon fodder for those miscellaneous cards. What would you do if you were to be my place? And what can be done? ”

Tang Enbo said righteous words, but the core of his heart could not escape a sentence, that is, he was unwilling to send reinforcements to the 121st Division! In Tang Enbo's eyes, Huang Haoran's troops were no more valuable than Sun Zhenbu of the Sichuan Army.

Guan Linzheng is a rectum, he, a cold baby from Shaanxi, has long wanted to be taught by the Japanese army, and Guan Linzheng can't stand it when he is always watching the battle in the rear. And Tang Enbo's attitude towards the 25th Army also made Guan Linzheng a little difficult to accept!

If you don't save the Sichuan Army, it's for the overall situation of the commission, but what is the purpose of not saving the Central Army? Huang Haoran is also an officer from Whampoa! When did the troops of the Whampoa generals also start to be treated with the miscellaneous army?

"Commander! This time, we are going to rescue the Central Army! Could it be that the commission will still blame it? ”

Guan Linzheng's loud voice made Tang Enbo a little unable to get off the stage. Seeing that Guan Linzheng had no consciousness as a general of the 20th Legion at all, and was not thinking about the 20th Legion at all, Tang Enbo's face began to become a little ugly. Zhang Xuezhong, the commander of the 89th Division, who had been standing next to him, was worried that Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng would have a conflict, so he hurriedly stood up to play a round. And Zhang Xuezhong, the commander of the 85th Army, Wang Zhonglian, the commander of the 85th Army, stood aside with a gloomy face, always bowing his head and not saying a word.

Tengxian sat back and watched Wang Mingzhang's martyrdom in the army was Wang Zhonglian's 85th Army, Guan Linzheng just shouted loudly, "This time the 20th Army must be the Central Army", Wang Zhonglian felt that he was insinuating him.

For the sake of Wang Mingzhang's affairs, the 5th Theater Commander's Department and the Wuhan Military Commission successively sent several accountability telegrams to Wang Zhonglian! Since the commander of the regiment can't investigate Tang Enbo's fault, the unlucky one can only be Wang Zhonglian's subordinate! For a while, Wang Zhonglian became the target of the Sichuan army generals, and it turned out that these Sichuan Yankees also knew that persimmons should be pinched softly!

Although he knew that the board of the Military Commission would fall gently in the end, Wang Zhonglian's heart was still a little uncomfortable! Now seeing Guan Linzheng's righteous words, Wang Zhonglian always feels that he is a little ashamed of himself!

In order to relieve the sulkness in his heart, Wang Zhonglian glanced at Zhang Xuezhong, the commander of the 89th Division, and signaled that Zhang Xuezhong could take this opportunity to refute Guan Linzheng!

Don't always look like a famous general, without the permission of Commander Tang, no matter how powerful your 52nd Army is, you can only continue to watch from the wall!

Zhang Xue, the commander of the 89th Division, understood the center, he gave Wang Zhonglian a reassuring look, and then began to engage in a verbal battle with Guan Linzheng.

Zhang Xuezhong knew that the army commander Tang Enbo was unwilling to send troops, but now he got the signal from the army commander Wang Zhonglian, so his words were inevitably a little presumptuous!

"Commander Guan, what do you mean by this? It's not that the commander doesn't want to send troops to save the 121st Division, but it's really because our 20th Army Corps has just arrived and is not familiar with the situation in the 5th theater, so he is afraid that he will fall into the sharpness of sending troops rashly! Moreover, there is the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army in front, and the Sichuan Army is the main force guarding Teng County! Now, even if we want to go beyond the boundaries, shouldn't we also ask the theater command for instructions? ”

"What Master Zhang said is extremely true! I think we have to ask not only the theater command, but also the meaning of the commission! Li Delin naturally hopes that our 20th Army Corps will be put into battle as soon as possible, although Huang Haoran is the general of our Central Army, but after all, he is under Li Delin, and sometimes it is inconvenient to tell the truth! With the instructions of the commission, we can't make mistakes! Then again! How can we, the Whampoa officers, listen to the dispatch of the miscellaneous generals! The Battle of Xuzhou will end after all, how can Li Delin, the temporary governor, be compared to the commission? ”

With Zhang Xuezhong, commander of the 89th Division, as an example, Chen Daqing, commander of the 4th Division, also had the courage to jump out and make trouble. Seeing this familiar scene, Guan Linzheng couldn't help frowning!

Obviously, Guan Linzheng was talking to Commander Tang about whether to send troops to rescue the 121st Division, but now he was stirred up by the two division commanders of the 85th Army, and he returned to the issue of the miscellaneous army of the Central Army.

How many times has something like this happened before? It's a very simple problem, but everyone doesn't want to solve it, but it's hard and muddy! Every time things come to an end there is no conclusion, and often even the fighters are missed! So everything went back to the way it was, and it was over! If the command of the 20th Army continues like this, this strong force will not have a chance to compete with the Japanese!

The 121st Division of Tengxian County was already in full swing with the Japanese army, and the 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army was a newly defeated division, with huge losses in the troops, and it was reasonable that it did not send troops! But what about the 20 Legion? With 70,000 or 80,000 elites, none of the six main divisions of the three armies were damaged, if you just sit back and watch the 121st Division fall into a heavy encirclement or be defeated by the Japanese army, can it be said that it is past in a reasonable way!?

Guan Linzheng just wanted to continue to argue with reason, but suddenly a staff officer walked in from outside the door, looking at the folder in the hand of the visitor, Guan Linzheng chose to temporarily forbear.

In front of the junior officers, Guan Linzheng still pays great attention to maintaining the prestige of Tang Enbo, which is also one of the important reasons why Tang Enbo can accommodate Guan Linzheng, a fierce general.

"Report!"

"Come in! Is there any new development in the Tengxian battlefield? ”

As for the result of the interruption of the operational discussion, Tang Enbo was very satisfied, and he was now eager to tell the news that the 121st Division had been defeated by the Japanese from the staff officer who came to the report, so that his 20th Army Corps could justifiably lie still on its stomach! The latest news from the Wuhan intelligence agency has reached Tang Enbo's hands, the Japanese army's 10th division Seya detachment has suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment in the previous battle, and is currently waiting for reinforcements from Jinan in the Tengxian area, before Jinan's reinforcements and combat materials arrive, even if Huang Haoran's 121st Division is defeated by the Japanese army, the Seya detachment will not immediately move forward! Townenburg did not have to worry at all about the frontal defense of his 20 Corps.

"Report to the Commander! Battle report ahead! The 121st Division of the 25th Group Army has organized troops to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, and the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army has also put about 5,000 people into battle! At present, the battle south of Tengxian County has fallen into anxiety, and the Japanese army has not only surrounded the assault troops of the 121st Division, but also surrounded by the main force of the 121st Division and the Sichuan Army, that is to say, a two-layer encirclement has been formed on a battlefield! It is expected that after dawn, the Japanese troops in Tengxian will increase their troops, and the possibility of further expansion of the battle cannot be ruled out at present......"

It was with disappointment that he listened to the latest battle report! Not only did the expected good news not appear, but the bad news followed! The battle between the 121st Division and the Japanese army was in a scorching position and the Sichuan Army sent troops to reinforce the 121st Division, both of which Tang Enbo did not want to see! The battle is scorched, which means that the south of Tengxian County will not be quiet for a while and a half, and the 20th Army Corps may still be implicated! And the Sichuan army's participation in the war gave Guan Linzheng the motivation to continue to fight, and also blocked Tang Enbo's last reason to avoid war!

Even the miscellaneous army took the initiative to reach out to help the 121st Division, the central army, and it seems that it is indeed inappropriate for the 20th Army Corps to stay behind!

Tang Enbo didn't want Guan Linzheng to stage another "war" drama, since everything was inevitable, he might as well be generous and show his determination to resist the war as a regiment commander!

"Pass my orders! The 52nd Army and the 85th Army each sent a regiment to reinforce the 121st Division! Send a report to Xuzhou! Send a report to Wuhan! Our 20th Legion is in the fight!
