War of Resistance

Chapter 655 Lanfeng War ([-])

For Takashi Sakai, it was a good thing to capture Yifeng, Ximaoguzhai, Hongmiao, Neihuangji and other places and cut off Longhai Road.

But for Gui Yongqing, that's not necessarily a good thing - it can be said that he is sitting on pins and needles, very irritable.

"Quickly, ask Song Xilian if the No.70 First Army is leaving now?" This was the third time Gui Yongqing asked his adjutant within this hour.

"Junzuo, 10 minutes ago, you asked me to send a call to inquire about Commander Song's troops. The No. 70 First Army also called back. Their forward troops have already arrived in Quxing, west of Sanyizhai. It won't be long. , we will be able to reach Lanfeng County." Gui Yongqing's adjutant replied.

After hearing this reply, Gui Yongqing's hanging heart was slightly relieved.

In Gui Yongqing's view, the Japanese army outside Lanfeng City was too fierce. Although there was only one brigade, there were only more than 1 combat soldiers, and more than 2 troops were equipped with artillery reinforcements. It was the enhanced artillery that was so frightening.

The eighth division, the strength of a division, disappeared in two days. This is even more brutal than the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing...

Thinking of this, Gui Yongqing's heart became inexplicably irritable: he didn't want to die like this, he still has a bright future, he is an army commander, and for the sake of Lanfeng, a not-so-famous county, It's not worth it to ruin your own life.

As for what a bright future is, compared with his own life, it is far worse-in Gui Yongqing's view, he is a student of the first batch of Whampoa, and he is the most rooted student of the emperor. Trust and reuse, as long as you go back alive, you must have a bright future!

But now, the firepower of the Japanese invaders is so fierce, and more than 150 artillery pieces are coming to bombard the city. It won't be long before Lanfeng will fall, and the time for this fall will not exceed two days.

On the question of how long it can last, Gui Yongqing sees it more clearly than anyone else—Dai Minquan's No.40 Fifth Division, although after he served as the commander of the army, his combat effectiveness and other aspects have made great progress Progress, but in front of the standing divisions of the Japanese army, that is not enough.

What's more, this standing division of the Japanese army has strengthened such a powerful firepower!

Gui Yongqing has only one life, even if he is hit by one of the tens of thousands of shells, his life will be gone...

Which is more important, Gui Yongqing can weigh it very clearly in his heart.

But even though he knew the seriousness of the problem, Gui Yongqing still didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Han Fuqu. He had to find a very reasonable reason to withdraw from the battlefield, instead of abandoning Lanfeng for no reason!
To become the commander of the most elite division in the Whampoa Department (that is, the commander of the teaching team), Gui Yongqing's head is naturally not simple. When his brain is in a hurry, his fat face that is a bit blessed is gently bulging. up.

Obviously, he has already gritted his teeth!

The rest depends on how it works!
……

The forward unit of the No.70 First Army is naturally the first regiment directly under Zhang Tianhai's third theater.

It was the troops of the first regiment directly under Zhang Tianhai's third war zone that reached Quxing, west of Sanyizhai.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Tianhai's troops moved very fast when they set out, but after arriving in Quxing, they stopped. Even Guo Qiliang, who had been partner with Zhang Tianhai for a long time, I can't even figure out what he was thinking.

"Old Zhang, why did you stop in Quxing? I remember that the military seat urgently ordered us to move on, saying that the No. 20 Seventh Army was in a hurry." Guo Qiliang reminded us very tactfully. Zhang Tianhai.

"I do this for my own reasons. Now our troops have distanced themselves from the large troops of the military headquarters, and the No. 20 Seventh Army is definitely not as miserable as you imagined." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice. Said.

"But as far as I know, one of the main divisions of the No.20 Seventh Army was transferred to Dangshan and Guide, and another main division, the Eighth Division, was disabled in the past two days. I guess They only have the strength of one division at most, and they probably won't last long." Guo Qiliang still couldn't help persuading Zhang Tianhai, after all, with the relationship between the two of them, he definitely didn't want Zhang Tianhai to follow in Han Fuqu's footsteps.

"Old Guo, you are good at everything, but you can't sit still and calm down." If Zhang Tianhai wanted to reject Guo Qiliang's proposal, he had to give a reasonable reason, otherwise it would be really unreasonable... …

"What? Why can't you hold your breath?" Guo Qiliang asked inexplicably.

"You are a typical emperor who is not in a hurry to eunuchs. We are only fifteen kilometers away from Lanfeng City. If we march in a hurry, the vanguard troops can reach Lanfeng City in less than an hour. If Lanfeng is really in a hurry , It’s not too late for us to go again. But now? The No.20 Seventh Army still has a main force division guarding Lanfeng, what are you afraid of?” Zhang Tianhai found a very legitimate reason to scold Guo Qiliang.

After all, this reason is quite legitimate. Even if he reprimanded Guo Qiliang for a few words, Guo Qiliang would definitely not be able to come up with other more suitable reasons to persuade him.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Tianhai said these words, Guo Qiliang frowned deeply, obviously shaken.

Seeing Guo Qiliang's appearance like this, Zhang Tianhai didn't stay idle, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue him: "Old Guo, think about it, the enemy's soldiers are so powerful, but there is a brigade and three artillery regiments. Let me tell you, if you go up rashly, our regiment won't even be able to plug their teeth!"

Under Zhang Tianhai's general persuasion, Guo Qiliang had to admit that what Zhang Tianhai said was really reasonable: "Okay, Lao Zhang, your brain is still sober. I don't have your flower With so many intestines, it’s no wonder I can’t win the battle, haha, okay, this time, I’ll follow your command!”

I saw Zhang Tianhai glared at Guo Qiliang, and said, "You are really...I am your regiment leader. You are a f---ing deputy commander. If you don't listen to me, who do you want to listen to?"

Guo Qiliang's eloquence was not as good as Zhang Tianhai's, and he was such an honest and honest person, so he couldn't compare to Zhang Tianhai, who had excellent eloquence.

So, he could only scratch his head, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you won, okay?"

"Hmm..." After Zhang Tianhai gave a long answer, he immediately set his sights on the map on the hood of the military off-road jeep.

Now that the situation is becoming clearer, Zhang Yulin should make a good plan for how to fight this battle.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Tianhai really thinks that the location of Quxing is the best, but the key point is, how to persuade Song Xilian, Commander Song to accept his suggestion?
Well, it's definitely a pretty challenging task.

Quxing is a place, whether it is far or near, if you can take over Lanfeng County as soon as Gui Yongqing's No. 20 Seventh Army headquarters abandoned Lanfeng, that would be the most ideal thing.

No matter how bad it is, isn't there still explosives on the south wall?This is the backup method...

Back then, Zhang Tianhai asked the engineers to dig such a big hole and plant so many explosives. Naturally, he wouldn't be playing with the sand like a child playing house—this was his "Plan B"!
In Zhang Tianhai's view, if the first regiment directly under the third war zone can stay in Quxing, this plan, if it can be said to be perfect, after all, even if the troops cannot defend Lanfeng under the fierce Japanese bombardment, then When the national army arrived the next day, if they bombed the city wall, the chances of winning would be great.

Therefore, Zhang Tianhai is now racking his brains on how to persuade Song Xilian——

So much hard work, so much painstaking effort has been put into it. It would be a pity if you can't make it in after such a close call.

Don't forget, these efforts included burying explosives, and Zhang Tianhai tried every means to preserve his strength during the early stage of the Battle of Lanfeng, so that he could use it at this critical moment.

If it was just such a small difference, Zhang Tianhai felt that he would never forgive himself.

To put it bluntly, it's just a close call!

……

PS: The second update is finally delivered, it was not easy, and I am really sorry for making everyone wait so long.

The evil system of [-] characters must be completed before twelve o'clock...

Well, in fact, it was because I wanted to write more words, but the time did not allow it.
