Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Only a death squad of more than a thousand people can take down an artillery position defended by a Japanese infantry brigade.As long as he analyzed it carefully, Li Zongren knew that the battle report sent by the 77th Army could not stand up to scrutiny at all.

With this kind of conclusion, Li Zongren also knew that Feng Zhian would not dare to falsify in the matter of reporting victory.This means that someone must have helped Feng Zhi'an, and even handed over the credit for this earth-shattering contribution.

Who could be such a good person?

There seems to be only one conclusion, and that is the Eighth Route Army that is also fighting for these Northwest Army and Northeast Army troops.At least Li Zongren knew that if the credit goes to the Eighth Route Army, Lao Jiang might not be really happy.

It's human nature, the Central Army fought against the little devils to death, and they have never achieved such a record.Now that the Eighth Route Army participated in the war for the first time, it has made such a contribution. How can this make the Central Army feel embarrassed?

At that time, how will ordinary people view the performance of the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance?

Thinking of this, Li Zongren saw the telegram sent by He Zhengdao, and thought that He Zhengdao came to Xinyang this time, and he was really not discovered by the garrison of the Central Army on the way.This ability to covertly march really makes him admire.

At least Li Zongren, who made this inference, quickly dispelled his previous doubts about He Zhengdao's military exploits.This also means that this time his fifth war zone finally has an elite unit that is not afraid of the Japanese army.

Just thinking that this army belonged to the Eighth Route Army, Li Zongren also began to feel in his heart that when dealing with the Eighth Route Army in the future, he might have to show more face.Even if he is a general of the Central Army, he is also not a confidant of Chiang Kai-shek.

From the troops commanded by He Zhengdao, Li Zongren can more or less judge how strong the troops of the Eighth Route Army are at the moment.Thinking of the strength of the Eighth Route Army now, it is really unknown who will have the final say in China in the future.

Even if he guessed that the victory of the 77th Army this time was probably the work of the Eighth Route Army, Li Zongren still pretended to be confused and said: "Forward the victory telegram from Commander Feng to the chairman, and also ask for credit for the soldiers of the 77th Army!"

'Yes, sir!However, do you want to send someone to the front line to verify this matter? '

'I'm afraid it's too late!However, I trust Feng Ru'an and dare not joke about military achievements.Send out this good news first, and please ask the intelligence department of the national government to verify whether the commander of the No.13 division of the Japanese army has been killed! '

Ordering the telecommunications officer to send out the good news, Li Zongren looked at He Zhengdao's current position and said in a timely manner: "Notify the guard group that I need to go to the front line. In addition, call back to Commander He and let his troops stay where they are." Rest and stand by!"

'Yes, sir! '

On the Long March, Li Zongren and He Zhengdao also met once.At least in Li Zongren's view, there is still a difference between He Zhengdao's treatment of the Gui Army and the Central Army.

Now that the two parties are united in the war of resistance, it was the Eighth Route Army who proposed to let the 67th Army join the Fifth Theater and accept his command from Li Zongren.Out of emotion and reason, Li Zongren felt that he should meet this young national general.

Although in terms of rank, the general Li Zongren is higher than the general He Zhengdao.But as a representative of the Eighth Route Army, and also the general commander just appointed by the government, Li Zongren also needs to give him some special treatment.

What made Li Zongren most curious was how He Zhengdao managed to send troops to help the 77th Army win such a big victory.Going to meet He Zhengdao in person, in Li Zongren's view, showed his sincerity even more.

If the 67th Army brought by He Zhengdao really has such a strong combat effectiveness, then Li Zongren feels that in this battle to defend Wuhan, perhaps he can make more bold arrangements in the formation of troops.

In today's battle, I am afraid that for the No.13 Division of the Japanese Army, its combat effectiveness may not recover in a short time.Then the remaining Japanese troops attacking the fifth theater will greatly reduce the pressure on the fifth theater.

Blind defense is also very unwilling for Li Zongren.If the Second Army of the Japanese Army that attacked the fifth theater could be severely damaged, or even one of its main divisions could be wiped out, then the fifth theater would surely become famous all over the country.

As the commander of the Fifth Theater, Li Zongren's prestige in the Central Army and the country will also be greatly improved.The increase in fame will naturally help Li Zongren to gain more political support in the National Government.

He Zhengdao also felt a little surprised when he received the telegram from Li Zongren.At least in his opinion, Li Zongren should inform him of some things that his 67th Army should pay attention to and prepare for next.

But the telegram sent now is very simple, it is to let the 67th Army rest and stand by.How long the specific rest period was also not mentioned.Such a reply was somewhat surprising to He Zhengdao.

Looking at Zhang Cheng who was also a little confused, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Is it possible that we are here to watch a show? Forget it! Since Chief Li asked us to rest, let's take a good rest.

By the way, for the batch of supplies we are carrying this time, you should contact the comrades of the advance team and send the supplies over there.In addition, tell our comrades that the current construction of base areas should be kept low-key.

If they are interrogated by people from the Central Army, let them operate in the Dabie Mountains in the name of purchasing food.If anyone deliberately makes things difficult, remember to report the news in time, and I will talk to them then! "

'Yes, Commander! '

Hearing Zhang Cheng's answer, He Zhengdao couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Others can't change their title, can't you also change your title? Remember, I am now the commander of the Nationalist New 67th Army. If you want to call me the military seat, Do you understand?"

'Yes, military seat! '

After saluting Zhang Cheng, who was full of smiles, he couldn't help laughing when he called out the title of "Army".As for He Zhengdao, he also felt that the title of "Army Seat" was a bit weird.

When the first division began to rest in place, the first division's reconnaissance team also quickly discovered that there were spies from the Central Army wandering nearby.Regarding this situation, He Zhengdao said directly: "In the name of meticulous work, arrest them all!"

As a result, it didn't take long for these spies of the Central Army to be arrested by the reconnaissance squad sent out to guard and patrol.For these spies, after telling his true identity, He Zhengdao still ignored them.

He said very calmly: "Since you are the scouts of the Central Army, why do you secretly conduct reconnaissance outside our camp? I doubt your real identity now, so I can't let you go for the time being.

You can, however, state the number of your unit.At that time, I will report this situation directly to Commander Li in the theater.After verifying your identities, let the people in your army come and lead them in person! "

Such a reason made these spies feel very frustrated.But for those scouts who resisted, He Zhengdao also ordered the reconnaissance team to treat the scouts who refused to be arrested after reporting their identities as little devils.

Fortunately, there are not many such sentries, but He Zhengdao's ruthless behavior also made the Central Army who wanted to inquire about the truth of the 67th Army feel very embarrassed.After all, He Zhengdao looked very difficult to get along with!

Li Zongren, who came from the rear headquarters to inspect and meet He Zhengdao, received a somewhat resentful telegram from He Zhengdao. He also frowned and said: "What are these military commanders trying to do? A bunch of idiots!"

According to the list provided by He Zhengdao, Li Zongren soon discovered that many of them were the eyeliners of the military commanders in the fifth theater.These people must have also been instructed by the military command to inquire about the troops brought by He Zhengdao.

As a result, the information was not found out, but he was involved in it instead.This made Li Zongren, who also didn't like the Juntong gang, frown a little.But he knew that he had to bring these people back.

Even if he didn't want to fight against the Eighth Route Army, as a senior general of the Kuomintang, Li Zongren still needed to stand on the side of the Central Army to deal with some issues.But this does not prevent Li Zongren from taking the opportunity to beat the people in the military command! (To be continued.)

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

(PS: The tenth update last night, I don’t know why there was an update delay! I just dealt with it, and I can already watch it! It was updated at eleven o’clock last night, and it didn’t come out until almost eleven o’clock today! Dizzy! )

As Li Zongren forwarded the 77th Army's victory to Chongqing, Lao Jiang who received the telegram also found it unbelievable.If this great victory was achieved by the 71st Army commanded by Song Xilian, perhaps Lao Jiang would think it more reliable.

The 77th Army, currently belonging to the Fifth Theater, bears the title of the Central Army, but it is actually the root of a motley army.Such a force with only two main divisions beat the elite No.13 division of the Japanese army into such a state.

How is this possible?

As a result, Lao Jiang, who received the telegram, reacted similarly to Li Zongren.Send Li Zongren a direct message to ask how authentic this good news is.In addition, the military command has also begun to investigate.

As the feedback from the two parties confirmed, the No.77 Division of the Japanese Army, which attacked the blocking position of the 13th Army, was really hit hard.Even at this moment on the south bank of Shihe River, the corpses of Japanese soldiers abandoned on the river beach can still be seen.

Moreover, many people living in the downstream also found the corpses of little devils floating down from time to time.Seeing the little devil's floating corpse in the river, many people were terrified.But very curious, who beat these little devils to death in the river.

After the news was confirmed, Lao Jiang still couldn't believe it: "The 77th Army really defeated the No.13 Division of the Japanese Army this time?"

'Yes, delegate!According to our investigation, the 77th Army did defeat the little devil's river-crossing troops on the south bank of Shihe River.Our reconnaissance troops on the other side of the river also heard a fierce exchange of fire in the rear positions of the Japanese army.

Because the little devil is very tightly defended, our sentries dare not approach for reconnaissance.However, according to the information we currently have, the No.16 division of the Japanese army is already undergoing reinforcements.This time, the little devil really suffered a serious setback.

As for what Chief Li said, the 77th Army defeated Dizhou Libing, the head of the No.13 Division, this news has not yet been verified.However, I think this possibility is great, but it will take time to confirm the news. '

After listening to the intelligence officer's report, Lao Jiang was silent for a while and said: "Damn Xipi, Feng Zhi'an's troops still have such combat effectiveness. It is also true that they killed and wounded tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and killed the head of the Japanese lieutenant general and division. Can they do it?"

For these troops reorganized by the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army, Lao Jiang took more methods of slowly infiltrating and annexing them to disintegrate them.The predecessor of the 77th Army was Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, which can be regarded as a heroic force.

Only a few battles were fought, and there were not many elites of the 77th Army left.Now the 77th Army, I am afraid that there are more recruits than veterans.It's really hard to believe that such a combat power can achieve such a feat.

Facing what Lao Jiang said, the intelligence officer thought for a while and said: "Committee, according to the report we have placed in the 77th Army's eyeliner. The members of the death squad reported by Feng Zhi'an seem to have been killed by the little devils the day before the war started. .

Moreover, many members of the Death Squad who wanted us to honor and pay pensions also died in hand-to-hand combat with the little devil today. The 77th Army's so-called death squads crossing the river, I'm afraid there is a mystery in it! "

'You mean, someone gave such credit to the 77th Army? '
