The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 343
Gao Jiu pointed to the area of ​​Nanfeng Mountain, and said: "We don't know the specific strength of the Japanese army's reinforcements at present, but we can be sure that there will be at least one regiment. With our current strength, it is difficult to resist the Japanese army." attack.

We can only rely on the complex terrain of the Nanfeng mountain area to deal with them and slow down the speed of the enemy's attack.Therefore, we must be one step ahead of the enemy and rush to Nanfeng Mountain. "

Everyone was very confident in Gao Jiu's commanding ability, and they didn't have to worry about how to fight in the future with Gao Jiu present.So everyone agreed.

Gao Jiu said: "Do you have any questions? If not, go back immediately and inform the troops to get ready and leave in an hour."

Guan Lie said: "Master Jiu, our supplementary regiment does not carry many weapons and ammunition, and there are no heavy weapons. We have just fought a battle, and the ammunition is basically exhausted. Although some Japanese weapons were captured, the soldiers It is not easy to use, and there is not much ammunition. There are also food and other supplies, how to solve these problems?"

The replenishment of troops has always been carried out according to the system of the troops they belong to. Han Changgeng's guard battalion belongs to the 58th Division in Nanchang. It is too far away from here, and they have no time to replenish.

Wang Guimin has gone through the previous battles, and he already knows clearly that it is impossible for them to replenish from the 62nd Division. If they send people back to ask the 62nd Division to replenish, not only will they not be replenished, but they will be asked to return their original supplies. It is impossible to participate in the next battle.

Wang Guimin and the officers and soldiers of the machine gun platoon and engineer platoon now understand that the 62nd Division asked them to follow the supplementary regiment, but they were actually betrayed and used as cannon fodder.They have discussed it and are not going to return to the 62nd Division.

Han Changgeng and Wang Guimin also expressed concern about this, and they also hope that Gao Jiu will try to solve these problems.

Gao Jiu took out a money order worth [-] oceans from his pocket and handed it to Guan Lie, saying, "Your replenishment team will be responsible for the procurement of food and other supplies."

Guan Lie took the money order and said happily: "If you have money, it will be easy, and the problem of supplies can be solved."

He thought that the money was brought by Gao Jiu from the training headquarters to replenish them, and said, "Master Jiu has a way. The training headquarters has never been so generous."

However, Qin Feng knew that the money was not paid by the training headquarters at all. He said, "Tuan Zhang Guan, you should thank Lord Jiu. The money was paid by Master Jiu himself."

Guan Lie said in surprise: "Jiu Ye, how can you personally pay for the army's war? This is not acceptable."

With that said, he handed the money order back.

Gao Jiu didn't reach out to pick it up, and said, "When is it? It's still so clear. Hurry up and use it."

No one knew that at this time, apart from the money that Gao Jiu gave, the supplementary regiment and the troops of Han Changgeng, Wang Guimin and others had no way to solve the problem of supplies.

He said sincerely: "Jiuye is doing things righteously, so I won't be polite." After saying that, he handed the money order to the adjutant beside him, and asked him to go to Gaozhuang Town to purchase supplies.

Gao Jiu turned his gaze to Qin Feng and said, "As for the matter of weapons and ammunition, you, the liaison officer in the theater, will be in charge."

Qin Feng said with some embarrassment: "Jiuye, I'm afraid this matter is difficult to handle, I can report to the theater command, and ask the theater command to provide us with supplies.

However, the theater command did not set up a logistics depot in this area, so it could not directly supply us, and could only draw from the supplies of these surrounding troops.Now that the supplies of all the troops are very tight, they will definitely be very reluctant.Therefore, even if I report to the theater command, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to get supplies. "

Having said that, he hesitated for a moment.Said: "Jiuye, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say it or not?"

Gao Jiu said: "Here are all my brothers, but it doesn't matter."

Qin Feng said: "Nobody cares about our small army at all, and the theater command did not include us in the battle plan. When I asked the theater command for supplies, I had to explain the reason.

Ninth Master, your reputation is too great, and it is very likely that it will affect the combat plan formulated by the theater command. "Having said this, he stopped again.

Gao Jiu nodded, did not speak, looked at Qin Feng, encouraging him to continue.

Qin Feng said: "As for blocking the reinforcements of the Japanese army, the theater command will definitely consider it. If the existence of our army is not considered, the theater command will definitely mobilize troops to carry out this task. If our army is exposed now Because of the existence of the army, because you are here, Master Jiu, the theater command may pin their hopes on our army, which will affect their mobilization of other troops to block the Japanese reinforcements. With all due respect, our army The current main force is the supplementary regiment. With the training level and combat experience of the supplementary regiment, it cannot be the main force to block the Japanese reinforcements.

If this affects the entire campaign deployment, we must be blamed, and Ninth Master's reputation may also be affected. "

What Qin Feng said made sense. After all, Gao Jiu didn't know as much as Qin Feng about the internal affairs of the Fifth War Zone. He wanted to stop the reinforcements from the Japanese invaders out of good intentions, but he didn't think much about other aspects.

Guan Lie and the others also felt that what Qin Feng said was reasonable. Some things are like this. If you help others do something with good intentions and enthusiasm, you may not be able to get approval from others, and you may even be complained.

Gao Jiu is a man with an overall view, he will not look forward and backward out of personal interests.At the same time, he also has absolute self-confidence and can do a thing very beautifully.However, this time, he thought what Qin Feng said was reasonable. Their current army, which was still very weak in combat effectiveness, was really not sure about going head-to-head with the Japanese army.If the fifth theater can mobilize the main force of the national army to fight against it, they will be beating and drumming at the same time, and they will be able to exert the power of high-nine guerrilla tactics.

He thought about it carefully, and said: "I agree with your opinion. I will take care of the matter of weapons and ammunition. Don't worry! I can guarantee that there are plenty of weapons and ammunition, and there is no need to save ammunition in war."

Everyone believed in Gao Jiu's ability.Now, everyone had no doubts, and went back to organize their troops to prepare for departure.

Before the troops set off, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Lin Yanni.After sending this telegram, he then sent a telegram to Director Li of the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Headquarters.

Wuhan, Military Intelligence Department of the Fifth Theater.

The officers in the telecommunications room are on duty, usually in rotation.Lin Yanni was afraid that she would miss Gao Jiu's telegram, so she insisted on being on duty every day, and she didn't even leave the duty room even when she was eating or sleeping.

Lin Yanni received a telegram. After she finished translating, she couldn't help becoming nervous, and immediately went to hand the telegram to Director Feng.

After Director Feng received the telegram, his face was also very ugly, and he hurriedly took the telegram to report to the chief of staff.

Not long after Director Feng left, Lin Yanni received another telegram from Qin Feng. After she finished translating, she showed a look of joy on her face. She said to the person on duty in the telecommunications room: "I have an urgent matter. I'm going to do it, and when the chief comes back, please take a leave of absence for me." After she finished speaking, she hurriedly left the Fifth Theater Command.

In the war room of the headquarters, the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff stood in front of the combat map of the fifth theater hanging on the wall, and were listening to the report of the chief of operations.

The Chief of Operations pointed to a hilly area in the southeast of Nanchang with his baton and said: "The 113th Japanese Infantry Regiment under the city of Nanchang, as well as the 106th Field Artillery Regiment and the 106th Engineer Regiment that were strengthened for this regiment, At present, it has shrunk to the area of ​​Lianghezhuang, 33 kilometers southeast of Nanchang, and fortifications are being built around Lianghezhuang.

Obviously, they learned that the Xinfenghe Bridge was bombed, and the Japanese army realized that they were isolated and helpless, so they turned into a defensive posture and prepared to stand firm and wait for help.

根据我军先前制定的战役计划，如今，已经调动了第28军58师、第57师、第29军第62师、第85军直属炮兵团、第112师等部，预计到明天晚上20时，完成对南昌地区日军的包围。

The direction that the Japanese army may send reinforcements is to cross the Xinfeng River from the highway bridge 240 kilometers downstream of the Xinfeng River Bridge.This route, if the Japanese army wants to reach the city of Nanchang, they have to pass through the defense areas of the 52nd Army and the 85th Army, so basically they don't have to think about it.

The second is to pass the highway bridge at 132 kilometers upstream of the Xinfeng River Bridge and pass through the Xinfeng River.The reinforcements of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army departed from Jiujiang. It is expected that the Japanese army will pass through the Xinfeng River in two days, and it will take no more than five days to reach Nanchang.It is necessary to send powerful troops to stop the attack and buy time for the completion of the entire campaign plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. "

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "But, the main force of our army in Nanchang has already gone to participate in the campaign to encircle and wipe out the Japanese army. Where can we get reinforcements to stop the enemy?"

The deputy chief of staff said: "Isn't the direction of the Japanese army's reinforcements marching in the direction of the 28th Army of the National Army? Isn't it enough to entrust them with the task of blocking the Japanese army's reinforcements?"

The Chief of Operations smiled wryly and shook his head, and said: "There are indeed troops of our army there, but it happens to be the defense area of ​​the 28nd Division of the 62th Army. I am really relieved to entrust them with the task of stopping the Japanese reinforcements No more."

The deputy chief of staff carefully looked at the situation map of the enemy and us in the Nanchang area, and said: "The route of the Japanese reinforcements is really the defense area of ​​the 62nd Division. This is really troublesome. I can't trust them. But, now Apart from them, there are no soldiers to send in the Nanchang area?"

The chief of staff frowned, stared at the map for a long time, turned around and said, "There is really no other way now. The task of stopping the Japanese reinforcements can only be handed over to the 62nd Division."

Speaking of this, he asked: "If the 62nd Division's participation in the task of encircling and annihilating the Japanese army under the city of Nanchang is cancelled, and they are allowed to fight with all their strength, how much impact will it have on the plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army?"

The Chief of Operations said: "It has little impact. After the order was issued to the 62nd Division, they have made it clear that they will not participate in this combat plan. They want to use the main force of the troops to prevent the attack of the Japanese Third Division, so they can only send that The supplementary regiment that has not yet arrived, and their reinforced company participated in the Nanchang campaign."

The chief of staff said angrily: "This damned Wu Tianming only knows how to preserve his strength. He is simply a profiteer. How can he look like an anti-Japanese soldier?"

The deputy chief of staff said: "That's fine. Anyway, their main force has not been mobilized, so I will entrust them with the task of blocking the attack. This time, we must explain the situation to the Military Commission in detail. If the Japanese army passes through the defense area of ​​the 62nd Division, they will join forces." If the Japanese army is surrounded, then the failure of the entire battle will be entirely their responsibility."

The chief of staff said with a wry smile: "Even with such a result, what can we do with them at the end?"

He knew very well that even if it was the 62nd Division that caused the failure of the Nanchang Battle, in the end, someone would speak for the 62nd Division.

Having said that, the chief of staff said helplessly: "There is no other way now, but according to your opinion, ask the Military Commission to put pressure on them."

At this moment, Director Feng hurried in, and he handed over the telegram he was holding directly to the chief of staff.

After the chief of staff received the telegram, he frowned even tighter, and he said: "The situation is too bad, the reinforcements of the Japanese army are not only troops from the 106th Division, but also a Japanese regiment from the [-]rd Division.

The strength of the Japanese reinforcements was increased by a reinforced unit, and the time for them to cross the Xinfeng River was a full day earlier. "

This unexpected news made everyone feel pressured, and everyone in the war room became tense.

The Chief of Operations said: "The enemy's reinforcements have so many troops and come so quickly, I dare to conclude that the 62nd Division will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Japanese reinforcements.

Attendant, do you think you have given up the battle plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Nanchang? "

The deputy chief of staff said: "All the troops have already started to implement this plan, and almost all of them are on the way. It's just nonsense to change the order so quickly."

The director of operations said somewhat dissatisfied: "This is also a helpless move. Who would have thought that the Japanese army would deploy troops from the third division to come for reinforcements. To maintain the original combat plan, the enemy's reinforcements must be blocked for at least a week." Time, how can this be done?"

What the Director of Operations said was the truth. The Japanese army's combat effectiveness was very strong, especially the Japanese Army's third division, whose combat effectiveness was so powerful that it was daunting.

The Third Division of the Japanese Army is one of the main standing divisions of the Japanese Army. It was established in Nagoya, Japan in 1884.There are two infantry brigades, a total of 4 infantry regiments and cavalry, artillery, engineering, and logistics regiments. The whole division has a total of more than 2.8 people, equipped with 12 36-type mountain guns and 37 12-type field guns. doors, 12 [-]mm rapid-fire anti-tank guns, and [-] light armored vehicles.

The 106rd Division of the Japanese Army participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, and achieved a lot of victories, and its combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army.

Facing such a powerful enemy, it is completely hopeless to expect the 62nd Division, which only cares about preserving its strength, to stop the enemy and ask them to persist for a week.

The chief of staff thought for a while and said: "If the enemy's reinforcements are allowed to arrive, Nanchang will have to be abandoned. The main force on the Eastern Front will retreat to the Eastern Ridge Defense Line, and the defensive posture of the fifth theater will be even more passive.

My opinion is to maintain the original battle plan, resolutely eliminate this lone Japanese army under the city of Nanchang, and severely attack the arrogance of the Japanese invaders.

For the reinforcements to stop the Japanese invaders, I will request the Military Commission to order the 62nd Division to take on the task of blocking, and to deploy a reinforced regiment from the 85th Division of the 113th Army to cooperate with the 62nd Division. "

"Agreed." The deputy chief of staff said.

Director of Operations, Director Feng and others also agreed.

The chief of staff said: "Urge all the troops participating in the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army to speed up their march, form an encirclement of the Japanese army as soon as possible, and resolutely eliminate this lone Japanese army under the city of Nanchang."

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison.Immediately, the war room became busy.

Military Intelligence Headquarters.

Director Li received the telegram from Gao Jiu, and said with a smile: "Brother Gao rarely asks, I must help with this favor."

Lin Yanni did not go home, she went directly to the military headquarters and walked into the office of her father Lin Wenhan.

"Yanni, why are you here?" Lin Wenhan was reviewing documents and asked curiously when he saw Lin Yanni.

Lin Yanni said affectionately, "Dad, I came here to see you."

Lin Wenhan smiled and said, "How can you be so kind? Usually you don't even go home. Tell me, why did you come to me? Is it because of Gao Jiu?"
