Chapter 14: Advanced (31)

Wu Zhongjian, a clear-eyed person, saw the beginning, but he couldn't see the whole process. Transferred the news from the staff headquarters, Li Pinxian is not in Lihuang, after the Double 10th National Day, Xi'an held an on-site report meeting to resist Japan and save the country, as the governor of Anhui Province, Li Pinxian must be in place. When leaving Lihuang, Li Pinxian confessed to his subordinates: political affairs are indecisive, led by Zhang Yichun, and military indecision, led by Zhang Gan. The Japanese army attacked Taihu Lake on two routes, and the response given by the Lihuang Military and Political Center was very simple: This is a matter under the jurisdiction of the 48th Army, and the 48th Army will solve it by itself. Of course, the tone was not so rude, but very measured, very polite, the telegram was sent in the name of Zhang Gan, and the telegram was received by Su Zuxin, commander of the 48th Army: "Fu Fu (Su Zuxin) brother Taijian, the enemy's second route division army attacked Taihu Lake, menacing, aimed at revenge. According to reconnaissance, the Japanese army's attack on Taihu Lake was actually a feint, and the main direction of attack was Hefei, and the fleet led by Harada, chief of staff of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army, entered Hefei yesterday, bringing with it an engineer wing, a field artillery brigade, a field hospital, and a communications team. The first task of the Seventh Army was to meet the enemy in Hefei, and it was difficult to take care of Taihu Lake. Gan thought that the strength of the 48th Army and the far-sighted planning of Brother Fu Fu would definitely be able to annihilate the enemy at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain......"

Next, Zhang Gan used the knowledge of the five elements to analyze the distribution of the Japanese army's attack from the east, and divided the hexagram in detail, the meaning is very simple, although there are two wings in the direction of Taihu Lake, but it is insignificant compared to a detachment in the direction of Hefei, the implication is that if Su Zuxin can't even deal with these two wings, then there is no need to mix in Dabie Mountain.

Su Zuxin received the telegram, smiled slightly, and threw the telegram into a ball and threw it into the paper basket. Yang Zanmo smiled and picked up the paper ball from the paper basket, unfolded it, and handed it to the adjutant to keep it, this kind of telegram cannot be lost.

Su Zuxin knew that she was a little out of shape, shook her head, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. The water in the teacup has been left for a long time, and it has become very cold, and when she pours it down, her whole body is cold, and Su Zuxin can't help but tremble. "Youyu (Yang Zanmo) virtuous brother, it seems that I have to bother you to make a trip."

"The military seat has an order, dare not obey the order." Yang Zanmo replied with a smile: "Junzuo, do you think that the main direction of the Japanese army's attack this time is indeed Hefei?" ”

"Impossible." Su Zuxin shook his head, replied affirmatively, and continued: "The commander of the Ozaki Brigade of the Hefei 130 Brigade is an old fox, and he never takes the initiative to attack in Hefei, even if he wants to perfunctory military orders, he will at most burn the flames of war to Dashu Mountain, and will not go to the Wei River, let him fight in the depths of Dabie Mountain, he will not do it." ”

"So this time, the chief of staff of the 116th Division, Harada, will be transferred above Ozaki, and maybe something will change." Yang Zanmo said: "In the past, Major General Harada led the Harada detachment to aid Nanchang in the west and Hangzhou in the east, and he dared to take the initiative to fight. ”

Hearing Yang Zanmo's words, Su Zuxin did not squeak again, if the Japanese army really marched west from Hefei, then Zhang Gan would face much more difficulties than himself, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You Yu, before you go to Yuexidian, you are responsible for the southern front operation, and I will send a telegram to Su Shumin (Su Tingxun), asking him to inform the Tongcheng Lujiang garrison and prepare for the war, once the Japanese army attacks Lu'an, Zhou Mengxiong and Qin Zhenyuan must obey the dispatch of Zhang Gan. ”

Yang Zanmo nodded, this is the Su Zuxin he knows, or his combat ability is not the strongest in the Gui army, but the overall situation is the strongest in the Gui army. As a graduate of the 4th phase of Guangxi Army Primary School, Huang Shaohong and Bai Chongxi's old classmates, and a high-achieving student of the third phase of the special class of the Army University, if it weren't for Huang Shaohong's departure from Gui and being implicated, and not going to Baoding for gold plating, he would not have been transferred to the deep ditch, a place where birds don't, to cultivate his self-cultivation.

Su Zuxin guarded the south of Dabie Mountain, and Zhang Gan went to Lu'an in person to preside over the military east of Dabie Mountain. In addition, Mo Shujie's 84th Army guarded the mall, the northwest gate of Dabie Mountain. The Luotian Yingshan in the southwest was garrisoned by Liu Heding's 39th Army. Due north is the Yellow Flood Area, a natural barrier. Dabie Mountain, centered on Lihuang Jinjiazhai, can be described as an iron wall, solid as gold.

After sending a few telegrams, Yang Zanmo began to cross the mountains and mountains and set off into Yuexi, which was very simple and very specific. First, the Wangjiang Shizhong Department attacked the logistics base of the Japanese Aoki Wing in Huayang Town, aiming to allow the Aoki Wing to lay down no less than one brigade of troops in Huayang Town. Second, Huangmei's 11th Regiment attacked the logistics base of the Japanese Sekine Wing in Huangmei, which also achieved the goal of stranding an infantry brigade. Third, Liu Qinglong's 413th Regiment, in the area of the Jinxi Changhe, relied on the terrain to set up an ambush, and strived to put only one infantry brigade into the mountainous area to the north. Fourth, He Shusheng 412 Regiment retreated to Taihu Mituo Temple, using the terrain to destroy the enemy one by one. Fifth, Luo Weiye supplemented the regiment and set up the battlefield at Tianjiatan at the end, making Tianjiatan a cemetery for the Japanese army.

The first to receive the order was Shi Chong, and when he got the telegram, Shi Chong smiled, his plan was more specific than Yang Zanmo's. According to Shi Chong's plan, after the Japanese army left the Huayang Town base, Zhang Shenghu's troops immediately launched an attack on the logistics base, and the Japanese army base was left with only one squadron to defend, and its strength was average. The Japanese army fought with its own baggage, and could carry out continuous operations for about five days without supplies, because it did not attach too much importance to the base. However, when they learned that the base had been attacked, the Japanese army still returned to help, after all, it was impossible to cut off their own back road. The second step of the plan is to fight this part of the reinforcements, and the person who handles it is Liu Wukui. Liu Wukui's task is relatively heavy, he can't fake an attack and feint like Zhang Shenghu without fighting, but to eat the reinforcements cleanly and thoroughly, forcing the Japanese army to send a second reinforcement. If you can eat the second reinforcement army, it is naturally good, if you can't eat it, you can transfer back a part of the Japanese army, and it will also reduce Liu Qinglong's burden to some extent.

Liu Qinglong's burden was not small, so Shi Chong and Zhao Sheng'an focused on the northern cottage in the southwest of Jinxi, and when Liu Qinglong fought against the Japanese army, they were killed as a surprise soldier and received miraculous results.

After receiving the telegram, Luo Wei discussed with Ouyang Jin, the deputy head of the regiment, and Hou Quan, the chief of staff, how to fight this battle. Ouyang Jin was arrogant, thinking that the enemy army had come from afar and killed all the way, so it was a matter of whether he could reach Tianjiatan. Even if you arrive at Tianjiatan, it is the end of a strong crossbow, not enough to penetrate Lu Min, as long as you set up an ambush, you will definitely be able to annihilate it in one fell swoop.

Hou Quan, the chief of staff, nicknamed Thin Monkey, is still as thin as ever, he has a great addiction to smoking, basically he doesn't leave his mouth, compared with two years ago, he is much calmer, hearing Ouyang Jin's suggestion, he neither approves nor opposes, and reminds him that the other party has two armies, and we must also be prepared with both hands. Luo Wei asked him which two hands. The thin monkey said that he took Zhong Liang's third battalion as a road, Ouyang deputy seat took the first and second battalions as a road, Ouyang deputy seat was responsible for setting up an ambush and ending the battle, and he was responsible for harassing along the way, using the complex mountain ravines of Dabie Mountain to destroy the enemy's living force in the movement.

Luo Wei thought about it and agreed with the opinion of the chief of staff of the thin monkey, but only determined one point, let the thin monkey focus on Aoki 1st Road, and at the same time told Ouyang Jin that if the two Japanese troops did not suffer any losses along the way, they should not hit the stone with an egg, and leave with one blow, which can be regarded as completing the task. Ouyang Jin glanced at his own regiment leader, if he wins, he will fight, and if he can't win, he will leave, which is not a star and a half compared with the previous invincible, and the invincible approach is to fight only if he wins, and if he can't win, he will create conditions to fight again.

The same is harassment, Pan Demin is not a grade at all compared with Shi Chong, Aoki Kazuo is not Shi Chong's opponent at all, knowing that the stronghold of Huayang Town was attacked, the reinforcements sent actually had only one squadron, this squadron was ambushed in Nanshan Pass, and in less than ten minutes, it was wiped out by Liu Wukui's heavy firepower. After Liu Wukui eliminated the reinforcements, he told Zhang Shenghu that he could launch a strong attack. Zhang Shenghu, who had already surrounded the stronghold tightly, gave an order, lit wolf smoke, and the thick smoke was mixed with cow dung and dried chili peppers, and under the blowing of the north wind, the stronghold was wrapped in pieces. In less than 20 minutes, the Japanese troops were so dazed that they rushed out of their strongholds, and they were greeted by Arisaka bullets from Japan.

After taking the stronghold of Huayang Town, Zhang Shenghu led his troops to join Liu Wukui and wait for the second reinforcement army.

Pan Demin of Huangmei, it can be said that he fulfilled the orders delivered by his superiors to the letter, a regiment was like a hungry tiger pounced, and in one fell swoop took the stronghold where only one squadron was stationed, seeing the food and ammunition inside, Pan Regiment Commander was so happy that his eyes were confused, and he gave an order, move!

Before the Pan regiment emptied the supplies, the reinforcements of the Guan Gen Wing returned to Huangmei, and the Pan regiment launched an attack with the Japanese reinforcements in order not to let the materials that reached the mouth be lost again, and the Japanese reinforcements were more than 600 people in three squadrons, which was inferior compared with the Pan regiment of 2,000 people.

By the long river, a vicious battle is also being prepared, and the two sides of the battle are Liu Qinglong and Kazuo Aoki. Liu Qinglong was very well prepared, but he didn't expect that Kazuo Aoki was not interested in Taihu County, so he struck Liu Qinglong sideways, opened a passage, and then planned to head to the mountains. Liu Qinglong was furious and let the deputy head of the regiment, Zhao Xueliang, follow him and entangle himself with the Aoki United. Shi Zhong of Beishanzhai couldn't help but smile bitterly, the other party did not fight with Liu Qinglong, and his own strange army could not be revealed, not long after, received Liu Wukui's telegram, the two squadrons of the Japanese army's second reinforcement were also harvested, and the county magistrate Wang Hanzhao took people to move all the materials in the Japanese stronghold, and the harvest was very rich. Shi Chong called back and asked Liu Wukui and Zhang Shenghu to meet in Jinxi, in Shi Chong's view, there was no point in tailgating, the Japanese army only brought six days of food, and the ammunition carried by the support brigade was not enough to support a big battle, at most eight days, the Japanese army would return the same way, and it could be considered to fight them again on the way back.

He Shusheng's ambush at Mida Temple was very hard, although one brigade was transferred back, and the Sekine Wing also had two infantry brigades and a support brigade, numbering 2,000 people. Fortunately, the deputy head of the regiment, Li Picheng, was alert and started a sneak attack from Zhangjiabang. Li Picheng was lucky, and the first shot hit the head of the support group of the Sekine Wing, the Japanese support group did not carry weapons, and their job was to carry three days' worth of food and two units of ammunition for the main force. Li Picheng chose the location of the attack at a bend in the valley, first opened fire, then pushed down a large number of bundles of wood and firewood from the mountain, and finally set fire. The so-called moon dark killing night, the wind is high and the day of fire, in late December, the air is dry, the fire is ignited, and when the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the valley is already raging fire, igniting the Japanese army's baggage, food has become the best combustible, and the sound of ammunition explosion comes and goes, quite lively.

What was not lively was the small conference room of the Guilin Military Academy, where after receiving a telegram from the General Staff of the Military Commission, the Japanese army had a new move, the 104th Wing of the 13th Division advanced to Jingfu County, and the 34th Wing of the 3rd Division Shizuoka set off from Xinyang and went straight to Huangchuan. The purpose of the two armies, not surprisingly, is Lihuang. Add Hefei in the east and Taihu Lake in the south, this is the third road! The three-way army, converging to attack Lihuang, it seems that this is not just a revenge for killing a Tsukada attack!

Mo Di has been buried on the map for a long time, and he can't see any flaws, he really wants to send a telegram to Zhang Guangwei in the mall, asking him what kind of situation the Pinghan line is now.
