War of Resistance

Chapter 799
Except for the convoys that cleared the way, groups of Japanese troops were jogging behind them, moving in an orderly manner, not even scattered.

This is the elite unit of the Japanese army!
On one of the armored vehicles at the beginning of the team, Bo Tianzhongyi sat at the front of the vehicle, just looking at the driving in front of him, but he didn't say a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, can we win the Madang Fortress this time?" the staff officer sitting next to him asked Shigeichi Hata anxiously.

"I don't know, let's try!" Hata Shigeichi said casually, wars are always bad things to say, and when the time comes, we will naturally win the battle.

After all, this thing is not good. War is a big gamble. It's just a question of who wins and who loses.

……

At this time, Li Yunheng's graduation ceremony had reached its most enthusiastic stage.

While pushing the cups and changing the cups, the atmosphere was at its most enthusiastic, Li Yunheng's face turned reddish, because his face was finally greatly satisfied today.

"Drink, drink, if you don't drink, you won't give Li some face!" Li Yunheng said loudly to the people in front of him with a slightly drunk face, and the atmosphere reached its climax all of a sudden.

Soon, under such a warm atmosphere, Li Yunheng became drunk, and he was completely drunk.

While Li Yunheng was drunk, the main force of the Japanese Army's Hada detachment had reached the periphery of the Madang Fortress, and launched a desperate attack on the Madang Fortress. The intensity of the attack was not ordinary.

One by one, the artillery shelled the solid fortifications of the Madang Fortress fiercely, and the shells hit the concrete of the solid fortifications outside the Madang Fortress like a heavy rain.

The officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Marine Corps who are in charge of stationing here can be said to be defending very hard and hard.

The Japanese army bombarded you with such intensive artillery fire that the people squatting inside seemed to have entered a shaking pot, and there was a shock and vibration everywhere.

"Damn it! How do you defend this battle? How do you fight?! The firepower of the little devil is so fierce, hurry up and ask the nearby garrison for help!" Captain Bao Changyi cursed angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with such a disadvantageous situation, the main point It is because Li Yunheng, commander of the No.16 Army, held this graduation ceremony.

As the officer and leader who attaches great importance to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, how could it not be like Bao Changyi, the second brigade of the Marine Corps, who submitted this resignation for the invitation to enroll?
Because of this, Bao Changyi knew that the officers of the main force of the friendly army were all holding this grand graduation ceremony in Madang Town.

At other times, Bao Changyi definitely wouldn't be so anxious, and cursed angrily. The key is that the Japanese army came at this moment, and it was a big deal!
Therefore, in Bao Changyi's view, they must persist until the reinforcements arrive, otherwise, the Madang Fortress is in danger!

The outer positions such as Xiangshan and Xiangkou have fallen, and now the main position is still in their hands, and it is in the hands of Bao Changyi's Second Marine Corps.

The war is in full swing, and the artillery of the Japanese army is still rumbling. Under the cover of the artillery of the Japanese army, the infantry of the Japanese army is advancing rapidly towards the Madang Fortress. They will pay very heavy casualties, and they may not be able to win here.

This is a fantastic opportunity!

"It's so oily!!" Bo Tianzhong held up the command saber, and the soldiers under his hands charged forward as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The Madang Fortress is built on the mountainside, and the fort is located on the top of the fortress.

It was also the artillery on the fort on the top of the fortress that prevented the Japanese warships from passing through the mouth of the Yangtze River smoothly and then headed for Wuhan.

And more importantly, the position of the fortress is also the throat position from the south bank of the Yangtze River to the opposite bank in the direction of Wuhan.

The construction of the Madang Fortress can be said to contain the Japanese army, whether it is the route to Wuhan by land or by water.

It is precisely because of this that it is already a top priority for the Japanese army to win the Madang Fortress!
Looking at the huge fortress that was completely bombed by the Qiwushan Cannon under his command, a trace of solemnity flashed across Hata Shigeichi's face.

He knew it would be difficult to win here, so he was ready to throw half of the brigade here.

The premise is that the reinforcements of the Chinese army should not come so quickly.

If the reinforcements from the Chinese army came quickly, then for Shigeichi Hata, the result is very likely to be in vain.

"Ono, show me the topographic map near the fortress again!" Bo Tianzhong ordered the combat staff officer beside him, Ono, in a deep voice.

"Hay!!" Ono responded, and hurriedly handed over a military map of the Madang Fortress.

At this time, time is life, and he can't delay it any longer!
On the front cover of the armored vehicle, Shigeichi Hada slowly spread out the military map in front of him, and then thought quietly, with a pencil still in his hand.

Glancing at the huge fortress in front of him, and then at the drawing on the map, Hata took a pencil and began to scribble and draw on the map.

……

The camera turns back to the inside of the fort.

At this time, the artillery fire of the enemy warship also aimed the main target at the Madang Fortress. For a while, the explosion became more violent, and the artillery on the turret also began to counterattack.

The artillery battle between the enemy and our army and navy was very fierce.

Under this, the Japanese soldiers began to march towards the fortress, so that the officers and soldiers of the national army had to take the risk of raising their heads to shoot at them, and the officers and soldiers of the second brigade also began to suffer casualties.

The bullets and artillery shells are as dense and fierce as rain, and they are harvesting the lives of the personnel on both sides by all means.

"How is it, Team Du, have you contacted Commander Wang in the main competition area?" Bao Changyi walked up to Du Longji, the team attached to the second team.

Du Longji said with a wry smile: "Report to the captain, we haven't contacted Commander Wang. According to the answer from the switchboard of the fortress headquarters, Commander Wang also went to Li Yunheng's graduation ceremony, and the No. 16 Army No. [-] The main officers above the company level of the regiment headquarters have all gone to this graduation ceremony."

After hearing the news, Bao Changyi realized that his allies were completely hopeless, and he couldn't help cursing angrily: "Li Yunheng, who is so stupid, what kind of graduation ceremony is he doing at this time? Now that the Japanese army has landed, we don't know. The First Brigade has been wiped out! What kind of shit graduation ceremony is he still doing!"

"Sir Bao, what should we do now?" Du Longji asked with a wry smile.

"What else can I do? I can only ask Chief Xie for instructions! Report the relevant situation to Chief Xie immediately, and let Chief Xie report directly to Chairman Jiang!" Bao Changyi said very angrily. At this critical moment, all the friendly forces have lost their chains. , how can this work?If the friendly army fails to reinforce in time, this place will all fall!
If it was because of the fall here that the Japanese army drove straight into Wuhan, who should bear this responsibility, and this responsibility is so great, who can bear it?
Even Chairman Jiang may not be able to recite it, because it will be infamy through the ages!

Soon, a telegram was sent directly from Madang Fortress to Xie Gangzhe in Wuhan.

At this time, Xie Gangzhe had already served as the commander of the Jiangfang Fortress Command near Wuhan, and he also served as the deputy commander of the Marine Corps.

After receiving the news, the 53-year-old Xie Gangzhe couldn't help but be surprised: It's this time, and the No.16 Army is still doing this thing?This is a mind blowing thing...

Xie Gangzhe knew clearly that if this matter was not handled well, he might be in big trouble.

Hence, without any hesitation, Xie Gangzhe forwarded the telegram to Chiang Kai-shek's adjutant.

After seeing the news, the chiefs of the adjutant's office were immediately shocked: This is the fortress that the chairman placed high hopes on, but he still expects this fortress to be here for a month!
Ever since, the adjutants at the adjutant's office did not dare to hesitate, and directly submitted this report to Chiang Kai-shek.

"Snapped!!"

Chiang Kai-shek slapped the table hard, and there was a crisp sound.

"What the hell is this Li Yunheng doing! Damn Xipi! Come on! Call Chief Bai Chongxi immediately! Isn't he inspecting Tianjia Town? Let him command the frontline troops to fight immediately! Be sure to defend the Madang Fortress!" Chiang Kai-shek snapped Said, it can be seen that this news is not a small matter for him, but it made him feel very bad.

"Yes! Appointed seat!" After the adjutant responded, he hurried out to carry out the chairman's order.

After the adjutant went out, Chiang Kai-shek looked at his somewhat red slap, and couldn't help but let out a cold "hum".

……

It didn't take long for the news to reach Bai Chongxi who was inspecting the fortress of Tianjia Town.

"President Bai, President Bai, the chairman's special urgent telegram, please deal with it immediately!" Bai Chongxi's aide-de-camp handed Bai Chongxi this urgent telegram from the chairman.

As soon as he saw the telegram submitted by the adjutant, Bai Chongxi knew that something was wrong, because it was not a particularly urgent situation, and it was impossible for the chairman to send this urgent telegram on purpose.

After reading the telegram, Bai Chongxi immediately turned his attention to the map.

Soon, Bai Chongxi TV discovered the headquarters of the 16th Division of Xue Weiying, the headquarters of the No. [-] Army stationed in Pengze Town near Madang Town.

Therefore, Bai Chongxi didn't even think about it, and said directly to the adjutant beside him: "Call the [-]th division headquarters immediately, I want to talk to their division commander in person, issue this urgent combat order, and execute it immediately." !"

"Yes! Sir!!" Bai Chongxi's entourage and adjutant responded, and then hurried to carry out President Bai's order.

The call was connected quickly, and the adjutant immediately asked Bai Chongxi to answer the call.

Bai Chongxi took the phone and said directly, "Hello, is this the [-]th Division Xue Weiying, Mr. Xue? I am the Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi."

A not-so-respectful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hi, hello Chief Bai, the humble officer is Xue Weiying, the commander of the [-]th Division. Do you have any instructions, sir?"

"That's right, Master Xue, the Madang Fortress is in an emergency. The situation is very urgent! I am ordering your troops to rush to the Madang Fortress along the road to help immediately! The order must be executed immediately, otherwise you must act in accordance with military law!" Bai Chongxi said. It is very important. What he wants is to do everything possible to protect the safety of Madang Fortress. After all, this is the first threshold leading to Wuhan. Even Chiang Kai-shek attaches so much importance to it. How could he not know the importance of this place? ?

After Xue Weiying heard such a serious order, she immediately responded: "Yes! Sir! The lowly position will be executed immediately!"

However, to everyone's surprise, after Xue Weiying hung up on Bai Chongxi, she received a call from Li Yunheng, the immediate superior.

It turned out that Li Yunheng was already sober at this time, and had already realized what happened.

Five minutes ago, Li Yunheng, who had been drunk for two or three hours, immediately received a report from his subordinates, saying that Bao Changyi of the Marine Corps reported that Xiangshan and Xiangkou, which were stationed by the 5th Regiment, had fallen , the enemy has set up artillery from these two places to aim at them.

After hearing the news, Li Yunheng couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately picked up the phone in the headquarters and called the Madang Fortress.

"Hello, is Bao Changyi here? I'm Li Yunheng, commander of the No.16 Army! Ask Bao Changyi to answer the phone for me immediately!" Li Yunheng said directly in a commanding tone.

"Hey, Chief Li, I'm Bao Changyi!" Bao Changyi said directly on the other end of the phone.

"What's going on with you? How can you say that Xiangshan and Xiangkou have fallen? This is the place where the 16th Regiment of my No. [-] Army is stationed. Just say so. Is there something they realized? You disrespect me too much, or do you think I'm easy to deceive?" Li Yunheng bluntly expressed his true thoughts with a touch of alcohol.

"Mr. Li, may I ask you to recognize the reality now? Now that the Japanese artillery has set up the Xiangshan and Xiangkou positions and launched a heavy shelling on my fortress, at this moment you are still questioning my words? Half of the people are already dead, and the brothers of the First Brigade of the Third Corps of the Marine Corps have been wiped out!" Bao Changyi's tone was very blunt, he almost pointed at Li Yunheng's nose and scolded .

After hearing this sentence, Li Yunheng fully realized: the troops of Xiangshan and Xiangkou have been wiped out, and this position has also fallen into the hands of the enemy!
Thinking that such a serious consequence was caused by himself, Li Yunheng couldn't help but panicked: he had to do everything possible to save the situation!

So, after Xue Weiying hung up on Bai Chongxi, he called directly to the headquarters of the [-]th Division.

I don't know whether it was because he wanted to make up for the mess he poked, or because he wanted to do something, Li Yunheng directly said to Xue Weiying on the phone: "Mr. Be sure to be fast, otherwise, the summit will punish us! Let’s do this first!”

After finishing speaking, Li Yunheng hung up the phone directly, leaving only Xue Weiying with a troubled face wondering whose orders to listen to.

You know, Chief Bai Chongxi asked him to rush to help from the highway, but Li Yunheng, the army commander, did ask him to send reinforcements from the small road. There are big bosses on both sides, how should this matter be decided?
So, Xue Weiying thought for a long time, and soon made a decision: Bai Chongxi is just an old officer from a motley army, why should he order me, why can he order me?But Chief Li is different, he is my immediate superior, but a member of our Central Army.

The answer is obvious: choose to take the back road for support!
