Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

The 77th Army, formerly also a unit of Song Zheyuan of the Northwest Army.After Feng Yuxiang's defeat in the Central Plains War, Song Zheyuan led the remnants to retreat into Shaanxi and was reorganized by Zhang Xueliang into the 29th Army, which later participated in the Great Wall War of Resistance.

After the fall of Peiping, although the 29th Army held firm resistance for a period of time, it eventually withdrew from the stationed Beiping area in the form of a defeat.And its army commander, Song Zheyuan, has now been sent back to his hometown to recuperate.

抗日战争全面爆发后，国民政计对其进行整编，将29军第37师、第132师和师部特务旅合编组九军。不久，又以第59军第37师、第132师扩编为第77军。

It can be said that the 77th Army at the moment is with the Central Army, and it is also a role that grandma does not love and uncle does not love.Even though this army has fought against the Japanese army several times, they still find it difficult to stop the Japanese army when facing the Japanese army.

The previous 71st Army and 42nd Army retreated, and as the 77th Army at the forefront, they knew that it was their turn to go next.As for how long they can last, it depends on how fierce the little devil's attack is.

Although Li Zongren's death order to the 77th Army required them to resist the Japanese attack on the front line of Shihe for seven days.But in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the 77th Army, it is really not easy to block the menacing little devil for seven days.

Under such circumstances, Feng Zhi'an, as the army commander, could only give death orders to the two main divisions.The order received by the 132nd Division was under such circumstances to block the Japanese army on the front line of Shihe for three days.

After receiving the information from the 132nd Division, Feng Zhi'an also said with some heartache: "Damn, what kind of battle is this fighting? I lost thousands of troops without fighting a single devil in one day. little devil!"

After scolding, Feng Zhi'an also knew very well that tomorrow is the time for the real hard fight.Feng Zhi'an, who had already fought against the Japanese army several times, knew in his heart that the Japanese army's offensive would probably be even fiercer tomorrow than today.

If today's violent bombing by the little devil is more to destroy the morale of the defenders, then tomorrow the little devil's plane may still appear above their heads.The little devil's heavy artillery unit will naturally cooperate with the Japanese army to launch an attack.

For this situation, Feng Zhi'an also couldn't think of a good solution.All he can hope for now is to hope that the troops on the front line can live up to their spirits and complete the tasks assigned by Li Zongren while avoiding a large number of casualties as much as possible.

Just when Feng Zhi'an felt that this time the 77th Army might face another heavy casualty.In his command room, a person came who surprised him, but also looked forward to it.

"Staff Qiu, why are you here?"Do you have any instructions above? '

As the Central Army knows, there are also a large number of cadres sent by the Eighth Route Army in the units of the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army.The middle-aged man in front of him who was the staff officer of the military training regiment was a representative sent by the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, each unit of the 77th Army today has a group of officers and soldiers who are interested in the Eighth Route Army.But in the same way, there are also people placed by the Central Army in the 77th Army.It's just that people on both sides seem to be very cautious and tacit understanding, and they won't tear their faces easily.

Right now, Staff Officer Qiu suddenly visited his headquarters late at night. From Feng Zhi'an's guess, there must be something on the Eighth Route Army's side, and he needed the representative stationed in the 77th Army to discuss something with him.

'Commander, I thought you had a rest!Today's 132 division, the casualties should not be small, right? '

'yes!In one day, there are thousands of casualties!This is just the beginning, tomorrow is the tough battle!You didn't come to see me so late to ask about the casualties on the front line, did you?Is it true that you have any instructions from above? '

In Feng Zhi'an's view, both the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army have become history.The one who can really compete with the Central Army may be the Eighth Route Army, which is growing in power in Northwest China and North China at this moment.

In this battle in Wuhan, the Eighth Route Army also dispatched an army to cooperate in the battle, and even joined the fifth theater.For Feng Zhi'an, in fact, he also really wanted to see how the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness was through this joint operation.

At least in Feng Zhi'an's view, the general who represented the Eighth Route Army in the Battle of Wuhan this time was He Zhengdao, who repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army after the all-out war of resistance.He is also very curious about this red warrior who was very influential among the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War.

If this force, as he knows, can repeatedly inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army.Perhaps their arrival will be good news for other troops in the fifth theater.

After all, with a powerful friendly army by their side, the Japanese army of these people will undoubtedly feel better.But as far as he knew, the participating troops of the Eighth Route Army should not have arrived in Xinyang yet!

Then, this Staff Officer Qiu visited his combat headquarters late at night, what exactly did he want to say to him? (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

This chapter is scheduled to be released!At this time, it is estimated that the mosquitoes should still be whistling!I hope that those of you who got up early in the morning can give more encouragement when you see that you have updated four chapters at once!At three o'clock in the morning, the mosquitoes couldn't bear it anymore, so they went away!I wish you all a happy weekend!

After the Xi'an Incident, Lao Jiang still detained Zhang Xueliang. Even if the generals of the Northeast Army asked for instructions and the Eighth Route Army gave advice, they still failed to change Lao Jiang's attitude and still insisted on placing Zhang Xueliang under house arrest.

Of course, the reply given to the outside world is that Zhang Xueliang is unwell and needs rest and treatment.And Yang Hucheng, who was forced into exile overseas, wanted to return to China to participate in the war of resistance.But seeing this situation, it is also clear that Lao Jiang's anger is still unabated.

Lao Jiang was dissatisfied with the inhumanity of the two generals of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, which somewhat dissatisfied the generals who were loyal to them.Under such circumstances, many reorganized troops received representatives from the Eighth Route Army.

Although most of these sent representatives do not hold important command positions.But after these representatives were stationed in the army, they also recruited many party members, publicized the political views of the Eighth Route Army, and won the recognition and support of many officers and soldiers.

Currently, there are such representatives in Feng Zhian's 77th Army, Sun Lianzhong's 71st Army, and Xu Youchang's 51st Army.It can be said that the existence of these representatives also provided the Eighth Route Army with a lot of information about the Central Army.

For the representatives sent to these units, the Eighth Route Army's instructions are actually very simple, that is, try to win them over to the Eighth Route Army.It's just that during the period of bipartisan cooperation, this kind of propaganda work should be as low-key as possible.

Now the dispatch representative of the 77th Army is Qiu Jingshan, who served as the staff officer of the Lieutenant Colonel of the Military Training Corps in the 77th Army.As a staff officer of the military training regiment, Qiu Jingshan usually keeps a low profile in the 77th Army, and is more responsible for the military training of the troops.

According to Feng Zhian's understanding of Qiu Jingshan, if there is nothing important, Qiu Jingshan rarely comes to him to report on work.What's more, the military training regiment doesn't have much to do at the moment.

After all, the current situation does not allow Feng Zhian to spare too many officers and soldiers to receive training from the military training regiment.Most of the troops that can be used are filled into the main force and reserve troops.

Seeing Qiu Jingshan's late-night visit suddenly, Feng Zhi'an was a little curious about his reason for coming.After listening to Qiu Jingshan's report, Feng Zhi'an said a little excitedly: "What you said is true? Do you really have a solution?"

In fact, Qiu Jingshan also seemed very surprised when he received the notice from his superiors.Regarding his identity, the Eighth Route Army is relatively secret.And this time He Zhengdao led the army to go out, he knew the list of these representatives.

He lamented that the intelligence department was so powerful about the infiltration of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, and He Zhengdao also understood it somewhat.Participating in the Battle of Wuhan this time, it seems that what he really needs to beware of may be the direct line troops of the Central Army.

As for the troops reorganized from the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, I believe that if there is any disturbance in these troops, the representatives sent to these troops will pass on the information as soon as possible.In this way, these troops will have no secrets about He Zhengdao.

In fact, when the Japanese army officially launched its attack on the 77th Army, the first division led by He Zhengdao had successfully arrived in Xinyang.However, not many people know about this news.

In order to ensure the concealment of the troops marching, He Zhengdao quickly ordered the troops to march in the direction of Xinyang by day and night marches after receiving a urging telegram from Li Zongren.Most of the time during the day, I rest in a hidden spot.

Even in the past few days, the Japanese reconnaissance planes began to expand the reconnaissance range, but they still failed to find the traces of the first and second divisions in the air.As for the three divisions that finally entered the territory of Henan, He Zhengdao used them as a son.

The third division and the supply troops escorting the supplies were divided into three groups and marched during the day from time to time.This way of marching will also cause certain deception to the Japanese army.Let them feel that it will take some time for the Eighth Route Army to reach Xinyang to participate in the war.

The advantage of doing this is naturally that it can catch the little devil by surprise.And the reason why the first division was able to march so quickly and covertly this time.It also has an inseparable relationship with the reconnaissance brigade sent here before.

Every time the troops marched at night, on the route of the main force, some dangerous areas were guarded by small units of the reconnaissance brigade.If there is any enemy situation, these squads can also deal with it in time and warn.

And if you don't march during the day, even the Central Army garrison stationed there will not know that a division passes through their territory.Under such circumstances, the first division arrived in Xinyang quietly, and it is normal that not many people know about it.

When the Japanese army launched an attack on the blocking position of the 77th Army, Li Xiangdong personally led the reconnaissance troops of the two regiments, which had penetrated into the rear of the little devil.However, the reconnaissance brigade has always been very careful in reconnaissance, and did not even alarm the attacking Japanese army at all.

Until the reconnaissance brigade discovered that the No. 77 division of the Japanese army, which attacked the blocking position of the 13th army, followed the follow-up troops for nearly a day.Li Xiangdong felt that this might be a good fighter.

Most importantly, after today's attack by the No.13 Division of the Japanese Army, the reconnaissance brigade has successfully found the heavy artillery unit of the division.Li Xiangdong, who knew the importance of this heavy artillery unit to the Japanese army, decided to attack the Japanese artillery positions at night.

After receiving the telegram from Li Xiangdong, He Zhengdao thought about it and decided that it would be better to attack during the day.In the case of a night attack, although it is sudden.But on the other hand, the little devil's defense against the artillery positions at night must be very strict.

In contrast, during the day, the frontline troops attack, and the artillery positions in the rear are defended only by the attached infantry.With the ability of the reconnaissance brigade, as long as they find the right opportunity, they can penetrate in and take it out more smoothly.

If it is even possible, the infantry of the divisions that are attacking on the front line will not be able to draw any troops in a short time if they want to rescue the heavy artillery unit.Once they mobilize their troops, it means that the front attack will be completely ruined.

Sneak attack during the day is certainly risky, but He Zhengdao believes in the strength of Li Xiangdong and the reconnaissance brigade.After all, for the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade, impersonating the Japanese army is nothing new.

Once the main force of the Japanese army is mixed with the 77th Army on the front line, the defense of the artillery positions behind will inevitably be lax.When they know that something happened to the artillery position and they want to send troops to rescue, it may not be easy to withdraw.

If they retreat, the blocking troops will take the opportunity to make a defensive counterattack, which may cause even greater losses to the Japanese army.After some consideration, He Zhengdao forwarded his decision to Li Xiangdong who was staying behind the Japanese army.

Looking at the instructions sent by He Zhengdao, Li Xiangdong discussed with the two scouting team leaders and said: "Okay, then our attack will be changed to tomorrow. Tonight, everyone should take the time to have a good rest.

As for the matter of infiltrating and touching the camp tomorrow, it is still in charge of Lin Tie's camp.We also have two days here, and I believe you have already detected some of the situation of the little devil.Try to get in, and take down this artillery regiment with internal and external cooperation.

If we can take down this heavy artillery wing, then one regiment will be responsible for blocking it.The Second Regiment tried to pull these heavy artillery away as quickly as possible.You know, we didn't carry heavy artillery when we came out this time.

Even if we can't take it away, we have to destroy these heavy artillery.Without this heavy artillery unit, the little devils, it might not be easy for them to break through the blocking positions of the 77th Army.Tomorrow's battle must cheer me up. "

Yes, Brigadier!
