Chapter 501: Changsha is unharmed
readx; The 30th Division is different from the 11th Division, the 11th Division is a lightly armed division, and the artillery regiment equipped is a 17x mountain artillery battalion and two 14x mountain artillery battalions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The 30th Division, on the other hand, was a standard division, armed with two battalions of 75-mm field artillery and one battalion of 75-mm 14-fold mountain artillery. In addition to the 30th Division's own divisional firepower, there was also a 120-mm heavy mortar battalion originally deployed in Yueyang.
Therefore, when the various types of artillery of the 30th Division carried out fire strikes against Hu [***], the Nationalist Army let Hu [***] taste what modern warfare is for the first time!
The artillery of the 16th Division also began to shoot back, and then ushered in the field artillery suppression of the 30th Division, which had been prepared for a long time, and the artillery on both sides put the main target on the enemy's artillery, only half an hour later, the fire density of the protection [***] was loosened, and although some of the artillery positions of the national army were also destroyed, the overall damage was not great.
After the 120-mm mortars and 80-mm mortars of the front, as well as mountain artillery, strengthened the suppression of the Escort [***] infantry positions of the front, a battalion of infantry of the 333rd Regiment of the 30th Division had already launched a charge on one of the fronts.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that the troops of the 30th Division are charging in strict accordance with the guidance document issued by the State Military Commission for the coordination of infantry and artillery, and the shells fired by the artillery regiment in the rear form a barrage in front of the charging infantry and are gradually extending to the front, while the charging Nationalist infantry is forming a skirmish line and launching a charge.
During the infantry charge, the light machine gunners armed with light machine guns accompanied the infantry to charge, using the light machine guns in their hands to provide the most powerful fire cover for the charging infantry, and behind the infantry was a 60 mm mortar group, they quickly set up the mortars, and then aimed at the enemy's fire points to carry out close artillery shelling.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, the national army is getting closer and closer, although the national army dug trenches and deployed heavy machine guns, but they did not have barbed wire, and when they got closer and closer, the front-line charging national army soldiers collectively threw a group of grenades into the front [***] trenches, and then rushed into the trenches with rifles!
Cao Kun, who was observing the battlefield with a telescope in the rear, didn't quite believe what he saw, just a charge, he broke through the defense line of the protection [***], when the firepower was tested just now, the enemy obviously showed very strong firepower, although the performance of the protection [***] in the follow-up artillery battle was a little worse, but it was not a little bit of resistance, but why did this only one charge break through the enemy's defense line?
Cao Kun's first instinct was that the enemy army was cheating, and when he was thinking about whether to order the organization of artillery cover to let the battalion retreat first, the chief of staff next to him said with joy: "They withdrew!" ”
Raising his binoculars again to look at the battle line in the distance, Cao Kun once again felt that he couldn't believe his eyes, because he saw the guards [***] soldiers running backwards all over the mountains.
"What the hell is going on?" Cao Kun was really a little confused, he only threw in a battalion charge just now, and the impact was only on the enemy's right flank, and the direction of the breakthrough was only a few hundred meters, but what he saw now was that the opponent's entire line had retreated.
The chief of staff was obviously in a good mood, and then said something that made Cao Kun a little speechless: "Because they are not the national army!" ”
Hearing this, Cao Kun suddenly woke up, yes, now they are fighting to protect [***], not the national army. Cao Kun had been fighting the Nationalist Army for the past two years, and although he didn't realize it, he subconsciously regarded the enemy as the same unit as the Nationalist Army. And the reality is that now he himself is the national army, not the other side.
The 16th Division, known as the two main divisions of the Yunnan Army, only blocked Cao Kun's 30th Division in less than four hours, and it was already routed on the whole line, but it is not appropriate to say that it was defeated, because in fact, the infantry contact between the two sides would not exceed one battalion, to be precise, the 16th Division retreated by itself, of course, it can also be said to be transferred! However, to be honest, although they lost a large number of artillery and machine guns, the 16th Division only suffered about 100 casualties in this battle, and the rest followed most of them to retreat sideways, but the 16th Division, which lost heavy weapons, was it still the two main divisions of the Yunnan Army?
Although Cao Kun still hasn't been able to figure out why the 16th Division retreated so quickly, it is always a good thing to win, so the 30th Division continued to advance south! After advancing five kilometers again, they again encountered the 12th Mixed Brigade and, of course, the 16th Division, which had retreated here, and this time the Dian Army did not retreat, but fought to the death in the face of the attack of the 30th Division. Because they have no way to retreat, behind them is Changsha!
It's just that many times the outcome of things can't be changed by manpower, Xie Ruyi originally planned to let the 16th Division and the 12th Mixed Brigade block the 30th Division together, but he didn't expect the 16th Division to lose so quickly, and it will completely collapse a few hours later, although the 16th Division and the 12th Mixed Brigade were strictly ordered to block Cao Kun's 30th Division, they still couldn't stop the defeat of the 16th Division.
On the night of the 16th, the 30th Division launched a large-scale attack after being ready, and after a night of fierce fighting, the 30th Division also needed to take a breather and recuperate after launching several large-scale attacks in a row.
On the afternoon of the 17th, after half an hour of artillery preparation, the 30th Division once again launched a strong attack on the 16th Division and the 12th Mixed Brigade, and three hours later, the 332nd Regiment broke the frontal defense line of the 12th Mixed Brigade and quickly detoured to the left flank of the 16th Division!
After holding out for more than 30 hours, the 16th Division finally retreated again, but this time, although they retreated, there were not enough people who successfully retreated.
After two days of fighting, Cao Kun finally led the 30th Division to break through the barrier of the protection [***] and arrived at the outskirts of Changsha, the 30th Division just arrived in the suburbs of Changsha without any stop, and immediately contacted the 10th Division in the city, and launched an internal and external attack on the protection [***] in the northeast of Changsha, and the protection [***] was defeated and retreated.
On the morning of the 18th, four days after the Changsha Campaign was launched, the first reinforcement unit of the National Army, the 30th Division of Cao Kun, finally arrived in Changsha, Chen Jingyun received a telegram from Lin Chengkun of the Fourth Army, and gave the telegram to Yan Jing Kuang beside him with a smile.
Yanjing Kuang said: "That's good, if Changsha holds it, Hunan can hold it, and the overall situation in the southwest can be determined!" ”
Chen Jingyun smiled and said: "Yes, there are no variables in the overall situation of the southwest!" ”
Chen Jingyun was in a good mood today, and after sitting on the sofa, he said to Yan Jing Kuang, who was standing on the side: "Don't stand still, sit down!" ”
Yanjing Kuang follows Chen Jingyun's ass every day, he is no longer an ordinary official, and it is common to talk and laugh with Chen Jingyun, but he will not sit with Chen Jingyun in the office, and it is not a big problem to talk and laugh with Chen Jingyun, but he still has to always remember his identity as a secretary, he is not Chen Jingyun's friend.
It's just that now Chen Jingyun asked him to sit, and Yan Jing Kuang sat down after hesitating.
Chen Jingyun said: "This tea is good, pour yourself a cup!" ”
Hearing Chen Jingyun say this, Yan Jing Kuang felt that this should not be as simple as letting himself sit and sit, sure enough, he had just poured himself a cup of tea, and before he could drink it, Chen Jingyun had already spoken again: "You have been serving as a first-class secretary for more than a year!" ”
Yan Jing Kuang said: "What the president said is true! ”
Chen Jingyun took a sip of tea and said, "I have also seen your work for more than a year, and you have done a good job!" ”
Yan Jing Kuang listened to it in his ears, and his heart was happy: "These jobs are all my business!" ”
Chen Jingyun said: "I read your resume some time ago, you are still young now, and you have a great future in the future!" ”
Hearing this, Yan Jing Kuang couldn't hide the joy in his heart, because Chen Jingyun said that he had a future, that is, he must have a future, and today's conversation seems to be about to promote himself, and looking at the current atmosphere of the conversation, it is estimated that the destination should be good.
Chen Jingyun continued: "Your secretary has done an excellent job, so I have some expectations for you to continue to work in the secretariat, but I also know your administrative ability. If you want to go to the hospital to work, I can arrange for you to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to serve as the director! If you want to stay here, you can be a deputy to Yu Shifeng, and now there is more and more work in the secretariat, and Yu Shifeng is so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground. ”
When Yan Jing Kuang heard this, he knew that he was really lucky! Although most of the secrets have a good future, there is no problem with a director in the provincial government, and it is safe to be the number one in the city government, and in the central department, it is still possible for the first secretary to be assigned a director position. However, there are good and bad things in the outgoing, although staying in the secretariat is only a small secretary, but being a secretary to Chen Jingyun has already decided that the power is not small, but the promotion channels in the secretariat are really effective, there are only a few first-class secretaries, and most of them are dozens of third-class secretaries. He Yanjing Kuang is now a first-class secretary and has not been promoted, because the current secretariat does not have the position of deputy director, and Yu Shifeng is in the last step. However, the role of the secretariat is not only a secretariat, Chen Jingyun regards the secretariat more as a training ground for young officials, basically a part of the secretaries are released every once in a while, and those with outstanding ability are promoted, and those with average ability are randomly selected and released. It can be said that except for Yu Shifeng, the other people in the secretariat have not been in the secretariat for a long time, and they will all be released to work after one or two years, or three or four years.
Yan Jing Kuang knew that he would be transferred abroad one day, but he didn't expect Chen Jingyun to value his ability so much, and he actually planned to let him go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to serve as the director of the First Division, which had already made Yan Jing Kuang step into the threshold of military and political dignitaries with half a foot. If this position of director had been in the past, Yan Jingkuang would definitely accept it without hesitation, but Chen Jingyun now gave him another choice, the deputy director of the secretariat.
In the past, there was no position of deputy director in the secretariat, in other words, Chen Jingyun specially added the position of deputy director to Yanjing Kuang, and Yanjing Kuang understood that after becoming this deputy director, he stayed in the secretariat for a long time like Yu Shifeng, and it remained unchanged for several years or even decades.
Faced with the choice given by Chen Jingyun, Yan Jing Kuang didn't think too much about it, and then said: "I want to stay in the secretariat and work!" ”
Chen Jingyun was not surprised by his choice, because although he gave these two choices, he actually did not give Yan Jing Kwong a choice. gave Yan Jing Kuang a hundred dares, and he didn't dare to refuse the position of deputy director specially set up for him by Chen Jingyun.
After Yu Shifeng learned the news, he locked himself in the study at home for a whole night, and the next day he set up a congratulatory banquet for his deputy and his biggest political opponent, Yan Jing Kuang, the two of them and several other first-class secretaries of the secretariat, laughed and talked about the banquet, but Yan Jing Kuang understood that there was no longer the mood of simply drinking in the past.
Although the simple colleague feelings of the past have disappeared, I am still very happy when I hear others shout "Deputy Director Yan", and when I hear others call him "Director Yan" in private, I laugh and smile like a flower on my face.
