The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 267

Just when Wang Jindong was about to send a telegram to Gao Jiu, his father-in-law sent another telegram.

This telegram is a telegram from Master Song of the 69th Division.

Master Song said in the telegram: "Brother Jingxian (Wang Jindong's word), I am leading the main force of the 69th Division to Han Ferry. I hope that your troops will try their best to break through to the ferry. You can leave people with bad reputations to stick to the county and lead the direct troops. Move to the ferry. If necessary, you can leave the army according to the situation. Don't have other worries. You are a hero of the country. As long as you can come back safely, your father-in-law and I can help you rebuild the 187th Division.

I can't stay on the ferry for a long time. The 38th Division of the Japanese Army in the direction of Zhumadian is about to attack Nanyang. I can only wait for you here for a day.Brother, please make a quick decision. "

This telegram made it very clear. Wang Jindong's father-in-law and Mr. Song had doubts about Wang Jindong's recruitment of Wang Zhankui and his reuse. They always felt that it would be a hidden danger in Wang Jindong's career in the future.They hoped that Wang Zhankui would stick to the county seat, so that in the future the responsibility for the defeat of the new 187th Division would be shifted to him.

They asked Wang Jindong to leave the army according to the situation, that is to say, let him lead the troops to the ferry, and if he could capture the ferry, they would take him across the river.If it is impossible to seize the ferry, let him lead a few direct descendants to take advantage of the chaos to leave the army and escape in disguise.The national army has lost many battles, and no one will be held accountable.What's more, Wang Jindong is a famous anti-Japanese general, he is outnumbered, and it is not shameful to lose a battle.As long as he is Wang Jindong, with the help of Wang Jindong's father-in-law, he can help him rebuild the new 187th division.

Wang Jindong's father-in-law is very optimistic about his son-in-law, and he has tried his best for his daughter.

The telegram from Wang Jindong's father-in-law is a private telegram, and Chief of Staff Liu cannot read it.However, at this time, he could guess the meaning of the call to eight or nine points. He pretended to be staring at the map to study something, waiting for Wang Jindong to speak.

Chief of Staff Liu is Wang Jindong's confidant, and he has been with him for many years. He knew that the matter could not be hidden from Chief of Staff Liu, so he handed the telegram to Chief of Staff Liu.

Chief of Staff Liu was not surprised after reading the telegram.He asked: "Master, what are your plans?"

Wang Jindong looked at him and asked back: "We are brothers, I want to hear your thoughts."

Chief of Staff Liu said: "Mr. Commander, you and I know the situation of our division. As long as we leave the county seat, we will not be able to withstand a Japanese charge at all. It is 52 miles from here to Han Ferry. Even if the whole division is together If we were dispatched, I am afraid we would not be able to reach the ferry, and we would be defeated by the Japanese army on the way, and our newly formed 187th Division would be finished.

As for what your father-in-law said, it can help you rebuild the 187th Division, but can the newly built 187th Division be the same as the current 187th Division? "

What Chief of Staff Liu meant was that the current 187th Division is a victorious division known throughout the country. They abandoned Zhiyuan County and lost Southwest Shandong. His status in the army plummeted.Moreover, the foundation in Southwest Shandong that has been painstakingly managed for many years has also been lost.

Wang Jindong nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go on."

Chief of Staff Liu said: "Teacher, with all due respect, our division is able to achieve its current status, thanks to brother Zhankui, this..."

The credit for the new No. 187 is basically due to Wang Zhankui leading his men to fight with Gao Jiu.Chief of Staff Liu felt that such an arrangement was unfair to Wang Zhankui, but it was inconvenient for him to speak out.

When Chief of Staff Liu said this, he looked at Wang Jindong's face and saw that he was thoughtful.Then he said: "Now we are trapped in Zhiyuan County, Jiuye and the others disregarded safety and mobilized all their strength to help. If we abandon them at this time, it seems a bit dishonest."

Chief of Staff Liu is now quite familiar with Gao Jiu and others. Under their influence, the blood surging in his heart has eliminated many of the philistine thoughts he had cultivated in his treacherous official career over the years.

After careful analysis and judgment, Wang Jindong also felt that breaking through blindly was not the way to go. He said: "You are right, you must be righteous. Send a telegram to Master Jiu."

Chief of Staff Liu asked, "How?"

What he meant was, should he tell Gao Jiu the content of Mr. Song's telegram?
Wang Jindong said: "There's no need to hide it, just tell Master Jiu."

Gao Jiu felt a little relieved when he received the telegram from Wang Jindong.From this telegram, he could feel the trust that Wang Jindong and the others had in him, and he could also feel the friendship between brothers conveyed by them.He immediately drafted a telegram and replied to Wang Jindong.

Zhiyuan County.

Wang Jindong read Gao Jiu's telegram, and said in the telegram: "The only advantage of the 187th Division is that it has solid fortifications. If it breaks away from the fortifications, it will inevitably lead to the destruction of the entire army.

A total of more than 128 people from the 8000th Brigade of the Japanese Army came. We have already eaten nearly a thousand people from the Yamaguchi Battalion of the 115th Regiment of the Japanese Army. It is conservatively estimated that we also killed thousands of devils last night. In addition to the devils you consumed, The devils have already lost nearly 3000 people, and if they continue to lose, it will be unbearable for them.

As long as you rely on fortifications to stick to the county seat and continue to consume the Japanese army, the battle will soon be reversed.

The Japanese army ran long distances and carried a limited amount of ammunition and supplies, which could not withstand consumption.I have already sent people to cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army. It will not be long before they will run out of ammunition and food.

By that time, the 187th Division will have enough troops and ammunition to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army, which will definitely inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army. "

Wang Jindong handed the telegram to Chief of Staff Liu. After reading it, Chief of Staff Liu said excitedly: "Master, Master Jiu is right. If this battle continues like this, we will surely win. If our 187th Division, With the strength of one division, it was a great achievement to defeat a full-staffed infantry brigade of the Japanese army."

Since the start of the war, the national army has mobilized more than one million troops. After many major battles, even the annihilation of the entire infantry brigade of the Japanese army is very rare.

The famous Taierzhuang victory in the Battle of Xuzhou only defeated the Jigu Division of the Japanese Army, and there was no case of more than annihilation of the Japanese Army Wing.If Wang Jindong's newly formed 187th Division can independently defeat a fully formed infantry brigade of the Japanese army, it will surely become famous.Wang Jindong's title of an anti-Japanese national hero is secure.

Wang Jindong was also very excited. He said: "Master Jiu and the others are really capable of fighting. With just a few people, they killed thousands of devils in one night. If this continues, the Japanese army will soon be overwhelmed.

I decided to follow Master Jiu's plan, and we will stick to the county seat and fight the devils for consumption.

Chief of Staff Liu, if you immediately pass on the news from Master Jiu to every soldier in the division, it will definitely boost morale. "

Chief of Staff Liu said excitedly: "Master is wise, I will pass on the good news right away." Saying that, he left excitedly.

Wang Jindong's mood was also very high, and he drove directly to the Drum Tower.

The reporters of the press corps were so worried that they couldn't even sleep well at night.Seeing Wang Jindong coming, they all surrounded him and asked him about the battle situation on the front line.

Wang Jinzhong said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen! I now tell you some good news. Last night, the cavalry battalion of the 24th Regiment of our department cooperated with Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas and Lunan and the Lunan Independent Battalion to fight side by side. The second attack on the Japanese army. After an arduous battle, the enemy army was severely damaged, and more than a thousand enemies were wiped out."

"Wow, good, good!" The reporters applauded and responded with warm applause.

Wang Jindong told the reporters what Gao Jiu had analyzed for him.He said: "The devils came to besiege the 187th Division. A total of less than 9000 people came. In just one day, they have already lost almost 3000 people. If this continues, the situation will be reversed in a short time.

The newly formed 187th Division will definitely defend the county seat and be continuously consumed by the Japanese army until their strength is exhausted enough to continue besieging the county seat, and the siege of Zhiyuan County will naturally be lifted.

Another piece of good news is that Brother Gao has already sent people to cut off the supply line of the Japanese army. It won’t be long before the Japanese army runs out of ammunition and food, and our army will launch a counterattack. We should cooperate with Brother Gao’s troops to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. .

ladies and gentlemen!I am sure you will witness a great victory.

At the same time, you are not only witnesses, but also participants in this great victory.I believe that you will be proud of having this glorious experience for yourself. "

The profession of journalists is based on passion, and their task is to find passion as a selling point, so they are more likely to be excited.

Instigated by Wang Jindong, the reporters blushed with excitement, and asked to go down to the front line to interview the officers and soldiers of the national army and fight with them.

Wang Jindong didn't dare to let these people go to the front line. In case a few people were killed or injured, he couldn't explain to his superiors.He said: "Now that you are in the county, you are already at the forefront of the Anti-Japanese War. You stay here to write articles, and I will send people to send all the materials you need.

The reporters are very grateful for Wang Jindong's thoughtfulness, and their impression of Wang Jindong is getting better and better.They all made up their minds that as long as they can defeat the Japanese army this time and get out of danger safely, they will use their wonderful pens to shape Wang Jindong into an anti-Japanese national hero.

Commander Song of the 69th Division on the other side of the Daqing River received a telegram from Wang Jindong, saying that his unit was newly formed and could not engage in field battles with the Japanese army, so he could not leave the county.

However, he asked Master Song to stay on the other side of the river for another day, so that he could help the 187th Division contain part of the Japanese army.

Mr. Song returned a telegram to Wang Jindong and agreed to his request.He said that he would look at the situation, and if possible, try to stay for another two days and try his best to contain the Japanese army.

Wang Jindong is very grateful for Mr. Song's concern. He knows that it is not easy for Mr. Song to do this.He immediately sent a telegram back to Mr. Song to express his thanks.

The officers and soldiers of the national army who were standing on the outskirts of Zhiyuan County and inside the defensive positions learned that Taohua Gaojiu and others had dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army outside, and their morale was greatly boosted.The officers and soldiers were determined to stick to their positions, and persisted until the Japanese army could no longer hold on.

9:00 am sharp.

The Japanese army once again launched a fierce attack on the forward position of the newly organized 187th Division.The soldiers of the national army resisted desperately, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Almost at the same time, the other two battles were also going on fiercely.
