Chapter 364: Belated Promotion Order
"More than half of the casualties of a battalion of the supplementary brigade are still in our hands, okay, I know, I will immediately convey it to the division and the staff."
"Hey, the secret service group has reached Wujiang Town......"
"A Japanese brigade forcibly landed from Xiliang Mountain, Baidu Bridge, the battle was very fierce, three hundred casualties in two hours, the Japanese army, the Japanese army was repulsed three times, and the heavy fire support of gunboats ......"
"Got it, the Senate is in a meeting, and you'll call back later!"
"The 37th Brigade and the first regiment exchanged fire with the Japanese army, where, Lijiazhuang, how many Japanese soldiers are there, what is the number, report it immediately......"
“……”
The communications office of the headquarters of the 1st Honor Division was busy, all kinds of news were constantly being gathered, the commanders were all in a meeting, there was no particularly urgent matter, the communications office was temporarily suppressed, and it was reported after the meeting.
This battle report came like snowflakes, and after a while, there was a backlog of more than a dozen letters, but fortunately, the battle situation was still under control.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Since its formation, the 1st Honor Division has encountered the greatest crisis, and has been besieged by 50,000 troops from two divisions of the Japanese army, and it has not felt such a huge pressure as it does today.
Leng Feng was angry at the meeting, mainly because some military commanders did not have a strong sense of initiative in fighting, and they still had the old concept of fighting in the past, and one wanted to maintain the current situation.
To put it bluntly, they are afraid of war, they are afraid of losing, and once they lose, they will have nothing.
This kind of mentality of suffering from gains and losses is not only in the first division of honor, in fact, the **** troops are generally there, and the first division of honor is relatively light.
The officer's sense of war is not high, and such an army can win the war?
Leng Feng also found that the officers with such awareness were mainly concentrated in the officers who were not from the teaching corps, and the Central Army was fine. Officers from other local armies are out of the ordinary.
If you want to defeat the Japanese, you can't just rely on one or two people or one person to do it, you have to twist everyone into a rope.
"I'm going to say ugly things ahead, this battle is related to the future and destiny of our honorary first division and your future, and it has been fought well. Everyone also has a good future and future, if we don't fight well, not only will the people poke our backbone, but even if you survive, you will be looked down upon. Leng Feng said heavily.
"You have all fought battles, the faster those who are afraid of death on this battlefield will die, I don't need to talk about the reason, weigh it yourself." Qiu Qingquan is completely consistent with Leng Feng in this regard.
"Judging from the current situation, the Japanese troops on the northern line of Jinpu Road are obviously targeting us, even if we don't want to fight this battle. I have to fight too. Liao Sen said, "You all crawled out of the sea of dead people's fire, how the Japanese army treated our compatriots, you have seen it with your own eyes more than once, don't expect the Japanese to treat prisoners well, haven't you had enough days in prisoner of war camps or safe zones?" ”
"**** mother, my head has fallen off, and the bowl has a big scar. Follow Chief Leng to fight happily! ”
"That's right, what did Chief Leng say. How are we going to fight? ”
"Turtle son, Lao Tzu came out of Sichuan to resist Japan, don't fight Little Japan, what are you doing......"
……
Officers at all levels expressed their stance one after another, and at this time, no one dared to defy the world's condemnation and say something out of place. Resisting Japan is a great righteousness, and violating the general righteousness is to be isolated.
"Okay, I have made a plan with Shizuo, and the goal is to eat this enemy between the Pukou of Chuxian County. To put it simply, we occupied Chuxian County and completely annihilated the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army. "Leng Feng threw out the topic of today's military meeting.
It is not a trivial matter to eat a reorganized wing of the Japanese army, I am afraid that since the Anti-Japanese War, there has not been that unit, and that battle can be done.
Chief Leng has such a big appetite!
The officers attending the meeting were all surprised, and at the same time, they couldn't help but get excited, if this plan was done, then the honorary first division would be famous.
And it's also very famous.
"Our plan is like this, with the new 38th Brigade northbound detachment, the new 39th Brigade and the new 37th Brigade as the main force, to carry out a war of encirclement and annihilation against the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army, and it is planned to use 12,000 to 15,000 troops to eat the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army between the east and west of Wuyi Town, and the specific combat deployment is as follows......"
"The northward detachment of the new 38th Brigade has a rapid eastward attack in the Quanjiao area, occupying Wuyi Town as quickly as possible, cutting off the road for the Japanese army's northward retreat, and at the same time rapidly advancing westward with the new 37th Brigade, quietly appearing on the east bank of the Xianhe River, occupying Xuejiadu, Hezhuang and Guoying, blocking the road for the Japanese army to break through to the east, and the new 39th Brigade is the main force, compressing the Japanese position from south to north, and the cavalry battalion moves to the west side of Jinpu Road, attacking and harassing the Japanese army, so that it cannot move to the western mountains......"
"Within three days, the troops will move far to the predetermined position, and three days later a general attack will be launched."
"The Japanese can't sit still, they will definitely send reinforcements to rescue the 65th Wing?" Wu Xinhua, commander of the new 39th Brigade, asked.
"This is for sure, once we form an encirclement of the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army, the Japanese army will have the opportunity to send reinforcements from three directions, to the east, that is, the Japanese army in the Yangzhou area will rush over at all costs, and the blocking task I have handed over to the new 37th Brigade, the Japanese army in the north, Chuxian area, there is a brigade, but the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Huai River will withdraw south at any time, therefore, we need someone to help in this battle, I have sent a telegram to Chief Li of the Fifth Theater and asked him to help drag the Japanese troops south of the Huai River of the Japanese army, It was enough to fight a few counterattacks so that the Japanese did not dare to move south easily. ”
"To the north, according to intelligence, there is a wing of Japanese troops in Dingyuan who withdrew from Bengbu to rest, but the number is less than 2,000, and it turned out to be part of the Ninth Division, and this disabled wing may become our biggest enemy. Originally, I used the special service group to block this Japanese army, but now the special service group has another mission, so there is a supplementary brigade to serve as the blocking mission, Hou Juntang, do you have confidence? ”
"Report to the sitting, there is!"
"Very well, in view of the fact that your supplementary brigade has few heavy weapons and weak firepower, how about I add twenty light machine guns, six heavy machine guns and four mortars to you?"
"Thank you, Sen, so we'll be more sure!" Hou Juntang's face flushed with excitement.
"If you have anything to add to this plan, if not, the order will be issued in accordance with this plan, and it can be implemented." Leng Feng stood up. Looking around, he said heavily.
"Yes!"
"Adjournment!"
"Leng Feng, did Guo Weiquan report to you just now, the Japanese army landed on the Wujiang River?" After the meeting ended, Qiu Qingquan grabbed Leng Feng worriedly and asked.
"I see, we didn't discuss it before. Ushijima is a guy who is very meritorious, and he is not surprised to take this risky move. Leng Feng nodded.
"The Wujiang River is only forty or fifty kilometers away from Pukou, and the Japanese army's mechanized troops can kill ...... in only three or four hours."
"What are you worried about, will Ushijima be able to break through the secret service's defenses?"
"The Secret Service is over?"
"Well, I have ordered the special task force to quickly maneuver to Wujiang Town and establish a blocking position." Leng Feng nodded, "With the equipment we made before, the Japanese army wants to come from the direction of Wujiang Town." Not an easy thing to do? ”
"Well, old Xie Shou Wujiang, we are much more relieved."
"If Ushijima Man acts without permission this time, then we don't need to be afraid of him, but if it is the intention of the Japanese military leadership, then we have to be careful."
"How do you know if it's the meaning of the Japanese military leadership?"
"It's very simple, you can know the movements of the Japanese army in Nanjing." Leng Feng smiled.
Qiu Qingquan didn't react for a while to realize what kind of medicine was being sold in this cold front gourd.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Timberwolves reported that the 9th Division of the Japanese Army came out of Taipingmen early this morning. Drive east. ”
"Is the information reliable?"
"Very reliable, our people are always following and watching. We will keep track of it and keep you informed. Xue Ping said.
"Master, I heard it, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive."
"The 9th Division of the Japanese Army went east, clearly trying to land from Yangzhou. If the landing port on the Western Front has been opened, why bother to go far? Qiu Qingquan immediately understood what Leng Feng meant.
"Since this is Ushijima Man's own unauthorized action, then the available forces at his hands are very limited, so, in Yuxikou. The Japanese army had only half the available strength, which gave us a chance. ”
"What chance?"
"It's a bit difficult to eat four or five thousand Japanese soldiers in one bite, but what if it's half?"
"The Japanese army landed in Xiliang Mountain and Baidu Bridge at the same time, in that case, why not put them ashore and annihilate them?" Leng Feng said, "The new 38th Brigade has nearly 8,000 troops, at least three times that of the Japanese army, and its weapons and equipment are no worse than those of the other side, so it is completely capable of doing it." ”
"At this time, the Japanese army in Wuhu City is insufficient, and even if they want to save people, they can't draw much troops, so this is a good opportunity."
"Of course, how to fight depends on Lao Luo's actual situation, so we can only suggest now, and they have to decide what to do."
"Okay, I agree with your idea, immediately send a telegram to Luo Yufeng and them, and inform them of the situation here." Qiu Qingquan nodded.
"Report, Wuhan Military Commission calls!"
"Read!"
"Leng Feng, chief of staff of the honorary first division of the National Revolutionary Army, has been ...... since the Anti-Japanese War He was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, and was promoted to major general of the army, appointed as the commander of the honorary first division, and rewarded with 100,000 yuan in legal currency. ”
Leng Feng was a little stunned, what is this old Jiang playing, he suddenly promoted himself, and he was promoted to be the commander of the honorary first division, what about Qiu Qingquan?
"Leng Feng, congratulations!" Qiu Qingquan's face did not change, in his opinion, the position of the commander of the Honorary First Division is Leng Feng's, no one is more qualified for this position than him, he is just taking care of him temporarily.
"Master, I really didn't expect ......"
"The honorary first division was brought out by you, if it weren't for your lack of qualifications, the position of this division commander would have been yours a long time ago, and you should be the one who will do it." Qiu Qingquan said solemnly.
"But I'll take over as the division commander, what about you?"
"Commander Qiu has another appointment, the rank is promoted by one level, lieutenant general, taking over as the deputy commander of the 46th Division, acting division commander." Guo Weiquan opened another telegram and said.
Qiu Qingquan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he himself would be promoted to lieutenant general, it stands to reason that his qualifications will take at least two or three years to have a chance, of course, at least a few military exploits to have a chance.
And now, after taking the hitchhike of the honorary first division, he was actually promoted to lieutenant general all of a sudden, which is probably rare among his classmates in the same period.
It is very difficult to promote generals at every level, and some people are stuck in a certain position all their lives, and this is how they are old.
"What about the commander of the 46th Division?"
"The 46th Division is an integrated division, which is reorganized from the original 46th Division and the Teaching Corps, and Captain Gui Yongqing serves as the division commander. Guo Weiquan said.
