Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

But this kind of thing can't be kept secret for long after all.It was only when Feng Zhi'an sent a telegram to He Zhengdao asking what to do next.He Zhengdao gave Feng Zhian a choice that made him a little tangled.

'Retreating at this time, we have no way to evacuate safely, and the third division that will attack at that time will definitely hunt us down.If you want to preserve your strength, you have to find a way to severely damage the Third Division and start withdrawing troops from the city.

Before receiving the telegram instructions from the Nationalist Government, retreating privately caused serious consequences. I am afraid that Lao Jiang will not spare us lightly.If it leads to heavy casualties among the people, then we will also be unable to atone for our sins with a hundred deaths.

In this case, the only way to keep this secret is to order the frontline troops to resolutely counterattack the invading Japanese army.Begin to evacuate the people, inform the news that the Japanese army is about to attack the city, let the people start to evacuate, and find a way to stay away from the flames of war.

If they retreat now, the people will have no time to evacuate.At that time, something like Nanjing will really happen.For our two militaries, the situation will be even more unfavorable.At worst, we can still fight guerrillas here. '

Faced with such a reply, even if Feng Zhian was afraid of cursing Li Zongren in his heart, he did not notify him to evacuate from the front line in time.But he knew in his heart that perhaps when he awarded this task, the ending should have already been doomed.

And the situation is just as expected. After the third division launched an attack, it was found that the blocking position of the new 67th army was really difficult to break through.The troops in charge of the attack suffered very heavy casualties.

In contrast, the positions of the 77th Army, although the troops also suffered casualties.But judging from the effect of their attack, the 77th Army seems to be fighting better.This discovery made Fujita Jin receive a telegram from the Second Army and finally made a choice.

'Pass my order to launch a general attack on Xuji's defenders tonight.Send the Fifth Infantry Brigade, the Second Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the Third Cavalry Regiment together.I hope that in the morning, our main force can successfully capture Xuji.

Once the troops made progress, the 25th and 26th Cavalry Wings launched an attack on the 77th Army and the New 67th Army from the left and right sides.Try to take Gushi City for me in the shortest possible time and serve as the forward position of my third division. '

The chief of staff of the division standing beside him also said in a timely manner: "General, according to the information we have obtained, the 77th Army should have concealed the fact that Macheng was captured by our army. Their troops should not know the news.

Before the attack at night, spread the news properly, I believe it can break down their fighting spirit.If possible, it can also cause chaos in their rear.In this case, our attack will become smoother when the time comes. "

Listening to the suggestion of the chief of staff of the division, Fujita thought for a while and said: "Don't spread this news in Xinyang for the time being, just spread the news among those resisting troops to disintegrate their fighting spirit.

If this news spreads, I worry that those Chinese people staying in the city will be scared and hide around.In this case, we will not gain much from occupying these counties in the future.

According to the current telegram sent by the military department, the Chinese army intends to publicize what we are doing in Nanjing.The people here are very afraid of our arrival.If the city of Wuhan is as big as it is, there are not many people in it now! "

In Fujita Shin's view, the people in the occupied area are also a kind of spoils of war.If there are people, it can bring more benefits to the Japanese army.If everything has to be done by troops, they don't have that many troops at all.

As long as there are people in the occupied area, they can find some people to work for them and generate income for them.In this way, they can also use this kind of occupation and exploitation to make up for the losses they caused when they launched the campaign.

If the people in these places are allowed to flee, they will not be able to get the property that the people have.At that time, even if you want to recruit some laborers, it will become very difficult.For this reason, it is also Fujita Susumu's plan to prevent the people from fleeing.

After listening to what Fujita Susumu said, the chief of staff of the division also felt that it made sense.Soon the plan was revised, and those spies who had been bought began to spread the news of the fall of Macheng in the 77th Army, and they had news of being surrounded and wiped out.

Knowing this situation, Feng Zhi'an scolded his mother directly: "Who leaked this information?"

The adjutant who reported the information also said with bitterness on his face: "The news did not come from our military headquarters, but from the frontline troops. Several officers must have been bribed by the little devils.

We caught a few, and a few others escaped after the word was leaked.The morale of the troops currently blocking the front line is already a little unstable.If we continue to fight, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist the little devil for too long! "

'If you can't resist it, you must!Now the little devils just captured Macheng, they haven't entered the city yet!It will take some time for them to attack here.What's more, the New 67th Army also deployed a lot of troops behind.

It's not easy for the little devil to steal our way.Tell the troops on the front line to cheer me up.When it's time to retreat, I will naturally give the order to retreat, whoever dares to retreat without authorization I will kill him.

Pull those guys bought by the little devils to the front line to set the record straight.Tell our officers and soldiers on the front line that this is a conspiracy by the little devils to shake our determination.A few more days and we'll be able to evacuate safely. '

Even if he was very anxious, Feng Zhi'an also knew that if the morale of the army was not stable, the 77th Army might be defeated.Once this happens, the 77th Army will also suffer disaster!

Even after issuing these combat orders, Feng Zhi'an called Qiu Jingshan and said, "Jingshan, now I need you to lead the military training regiment, stationed in the frontline troops in the name of the supervisory regiment, and supervise the defensive operations of the troops.

If anyone dares to retreat without authorization, I will give you the right to kill first and act later.If the front line really can't stand it, I also hope that you will lead the withdrawn troops to find a place on the front line to temporarily avoid guerrilla warfare, and try to preserve the bones and blood of our 77th Army. "

Saying this was undoubtedly planning for the worst.Or in Feng Zhian's view, most of today's military training regiments are officers and soldiers who are interested in the Eighth Route Army.When these officers and soldiers go to the front to supervise the battle, they can be regarded as taking over the troops.

Once the battle takes a turn for the worse, these withdrawn troops will be commanded and guided by members of the military training regiment, and I believe that the hope of survival will increase a little bit.At least Feng Zhian knew that there were many guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army active in Xinyang.

With the protection of these local snakes, I believe that those troops who have withdrawn will have a little more hope of survival.Without the protection of the guerrillas, even if they retreated to the rear, they probably wouldn't be able to run very far, and they might be surrounded by the Japanese army!

Qiu Jingshan, who heard this order, also understood the hidden meaning of Feng Zhian's words, and immediately said: "Commander, there is no need to be so pessimistic? Now we are doing well in blocking and fighting, and the little devil should not get too much money."

'It's not called pessimism, it's called planning for the worst.No matter how the situation changes next, I hope that the 77th Army can retain more combat effectiveness.As for me, the army commander, I actually didn't have much fun doing it.

Since this time, Li Zongren and the others are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous.This time, not only our 77th Army, but your new 67th Army will also be guerrilla here.You guys are better at this kind of thing than we are.

Now we are in the same boat, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect the safety of my old subordinates.In contrast, you have guerrillas and base areas, and my troops follow you, at least you can still have a bite to eat.

Even if there is a chance to retreat to the rear, our 77th Army is probably less than one in ten.Without troops, what is my commander in the eyes of Lao Jiang?It's just that I hope that you can treat my subordinates well. '

It was undoubtedly difficult for Feng Zhian to make such a decision.But he knew that at this time he had to make a choice.Leading the 77th Army to retreat to the rear, he asked himself that this matter might not be possible.

The reason was that he had not received the order to withdraw from the fifth theater, and the consequence of his private retreat was that he would be punished by military law.If he waited until the Japanese army broke through their blocking position before withdrawing, how many troops could he bring to retreat safely to the rear?

Under such circumstances, handing over all the defeated troops to the Eighth Route Army to take care of and command them might be a way to survive.At least Feng Zhi'an knew that it would not be easy for the little devil to deal with He Zhengdao.

With the care of these guerrillas and the Eighth Route Army, I believe that his disbanded troops will be properly arranged.Even if those troops might be annexed by the Eighth Route Army in the end, it would be better than leading them to be chased and killed by little devils! (To be continued.)

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

Relying on the fortifications built in advance, the New 67th Army was on the front line of Huaibin, and the Japanese army also fought hard.Although the troops paid some price, compared with the attacking Japanese army, the battle damage of the New 67th Army was still relatively small.

The saber special forces lurking around Funan, as well as the reconnaissance teams operating in the war zone, adopted the method of small teams staring at the brigade, keeping an eye on the entire third division's troops, and every move could not escape the sight of the reconnaissance team.

The Fifth Brigade, originally serving as the reserve force of the Third Division, suddenly rushed towards Xuji in the evening.Even a cavalry and heavy artillery unit gathered there, and He Zhengdao knew that the little devil was going to get serious.

During the period when the third division launched its attack, He Zhengdao could clearly feel that the little devil didn't use his full strength.Most of their attacks are tentative attacks, the purpose of which is to hold back the new 67th Army and the 77th Army.

After receiving the telegram from the reconnaissance unit, He Zhengdao immediately instructed: "Send a telegram to Commander Feng of the 77th Army, informing the little devils that they will launch a general attack on Xu Ji tonight, I hope they will be prepared.

If you really can't hold it, let the troops retreat in an orderly manner, and at the same time make preparations to withdraw from Gushi.Once the little devil breaks through the defense line of Xuji, we may be separated from the 77th Army. I hope they can be psychologically prepared. "

'Yes, Commander! '

As the telegram reached Feng Zhian, Feng Zhian, who had already made arrangements in advance, also said in a timely manner: "It seems that there is not much time until the end of the battle distance. Send a telegram to Qiu Jingshan and ask him to be in charge of Xu Ji's defense and retreat. .

The main force of the rest of the army will all withdraw from Gushi tonight and withdraw in the direction of Huangchuan.As for the troops in charge of blocking the front line, they were also handed over to Commander Qiu of the military training regiment.Whether we can rebuild in the future depends on whether they can survive! "

I saw that the Japanese army assembled an infantry brigade, a heavy artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment in order to attack Xuji.Feng Zhi'an knew very well that even if he mobilized the troops up now, it would be useless.

In the past few days, the frontline blocking troops have suffered a lot of casualties.Although it caused some casualties to the little devil, for Ruo Da's division, it still failed to hurt the little devil.

After Feng Zhi'an handed over the command of the front line to Qiu Jingshan, a confidant known to many division commanders and regiment leaders.After receiving the telegram, Qiu Jingshan resolutely rushed to Xuji to take command and reported the situation to He Zhengdao.

In order to integrate the combat command of the troops in Central China, officers like Qiu Jingshan will be under the command of He Zhengdao.Now Feng Zhi'an has decided to hand over the troops deployed on the front line to Qiu Jingshan.

Such an approach was undoubtedly Feng Zhian's decision to entrust all those troops to the Eighth Route Army.Whether these troops can return to the 77th Army in the future depends on whether the Eighth Route Army can retain these troops.

He Zhengdao, who received this telegram, also had a headache and said: "Feng Zhi'an, he really gave me a problem. Such a big gift, it's a pity to miss it, but it's not easy to eat it!"

Luo Ruiqing, the chief of staff, also smiled and said: "Commander, we have so many guerrillas, I don't think it should be difficult to digest the troops they deployed on the front line? Why do you say it is not easy?"

'If you want to digest these troops, how can you do so casually?In the 77th Army, there are also a large number of military commanders.Do we dare to integrate such troops into our guerrillas without finding them out? '

As soon as these words came out, Luo Ruiqing also realized that this kind of investigation work would become very difficult.If the guerrillas really want to expand quickly, it is actually easier.But in order to keep it secret, the expansion needs to be more carefully kept secret.

Right now, Feng Zhi'an directly threw the troops on the front line to He Zhengdao to take care of them.Naturally, these troops are also prepared for possible annexation by the Eighth Route Army.But for He Zhengdao, this gift is really hard to accept!
