The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 345 There are too many impossible things
Just as the Japanese army took up their stance, the artillerymen measured the distance, calculated the shooting parameters, adjusted the artillery, and were about to test fire, a group of people suddenly ran out of the trenches from the position of the 62nd Division on the opposite side. , and then ran into the Dachen Village behind and disappeared.

At this time, the devil's infantry was far away from them, and their guns could not hit them.The cannons are used to hit fixed targets and cluster targets, and if they can't adjust for a while, they can't shoot Zhu Yuan. They have nothing to do with those who run away, so they have to watch them escape.

There is an unwritten rule in the artillery unit, which is called no fighting for bicycles, no fighting for individual soldiers, and no fighting for female soldiers.On the one hand, it is difficult to hit such a target, and on the other hand, considering the cost, it is really not worthwhile to kill an enemy soldier with ten shells.As for the female soldiers not fighting, there is no need to explain.

The captain of the Japanese army had seen this kind of situation more than once before, but he didn't expect that the enemy would abandon their positions without firing a single shot after they built so many trenches.

He smiled contemptuously. In order to be sure that nothing would go wrong and prevent the enemy from being ambushed in the trenches, he still ordered the artillery to fire and made tentative shots. As a result, there was no movement in the enemy's position.

The devil's captain was sure that there was no one in the enemy's position, and sent a squad of soldiers to investigate.Soon he saw that the soldiers entered the enemy's position.

The captain of the Japanese army commanded the troops to occupy the enemy's trenches, and then rushed into Dachenzhuang.

The 62nd Division finally didn't do everything right, they moved the people of Dachenzhuang out ahead of time.

On Xiaochenzhuang's position, after the regiment commander of the 62nd Division heard the sound of shelling in front, he left a staff officer and led a guard squad to observe the situation, and then he led the main force to evacuate.

The large forces of the 62nd Division have withdrawn, what else can be observed?The staff officer was worried that he would be discovered by the devils, so he led the people to leave the position in a hurry. They hid on a hillside about 500 meters away from the position. After seeing the Japanese army occupying the position they had just abandoned, they led the people away.

After the Japanese army crossed the fortifications built by the 62nd Division in Xiaochenzhuang, they left an infantry squad and stayed in the position to prevent the enemy from returning.The rest regrouped and continued to move forward.

All of this was clearly seen by Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Li Xiaoshan on another hillside.Ning Wen asked Li Xiaoshan to report to Gao Jiu on a fast horse.

All of this was expected by Gao Jiu.Before blowing up the Xinfenghe Bridge, when he learned that the 62nd Division used the supplementary regiment as cannon fodder, Gao Jiu had distrust of the 62nd Division.

He knew that after he blew up the Xinfenghe Bridge, the Fifth War Zone would begin the campaign to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army under the city of Nanchang, and a very important part of this campaign was to stop the Japanese reinforcements.

After analysis, he judged that the most likely route for the Japanese reinforcements was to take the highway bridge upstream of the Xinfeng River Bridge. After the Japanese crossed the river from there, the Guo army defense area passed by the Japanese army to Nanchang happened to be the defense area of ​​the 62nd Division.

Gao Jiu guessed that the 62nd Division might not be able to stop the Japanese reinforcements, so he asked Qin Feng to go to Gaozhuang Town upstream of the Xinfeng River Bridge after waiting for someone to destroy the railway, and wait until he came back. , ready to lead the supplementary regiment and other troops to fight the reinforcements of the Japanese army.

Before the troops set off from Gaozhuang Town, Gao Jiu sent Ning Wen, Ning Wu, and Li Xiaoshan to the area of ​​Xiaochenzhuang to monitor the movement of the Japanese army and the 62nd Division. Sure enough, he saw the 62nd Division abandoning its position.

Fifth Theater Command, War Room.

The Chief of Operations said: "Sit, the 28th Division of the 57th Army has arrived at Sanhezhuang on time, and has launched an attack on the Japanese army. The troops of the 85th Division of the 112th Army are expected to arrive at Sanhezhuang at 7 o'clock this evening.

The Japanese army built a large number of field fortifications in the Sanhezhuang area, and the resistance was very tenacious. Our army has not made any progress so far. "

The Japanese army has always been tenacious in combat, and the Guo army has not made any progress for the time being. This is also expected by the chief of staff. He asked, "Where did the Japanese reinforcements arrive? Is there any news from the 62nd Division?"

The director of operations said: "Not long ago, the 62nd Division sent a telegram saying that the Japanese army had arrived at Dachenzhuang. The 62nd Division was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army. It had repelled two Japanese attacks and wiped out hundreds of Japanese troops. , The 62nd Division also suffered heavy casualties, and the current loss is nearly one regiment."

Of course, this is a fake telegram sent by Wu Tianming and others. They are laying the groundwork for their retreat.

10:20am.

When the Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, and Director of Operations were studying how to quickly break through the Japanese defensive positions, Guo Xuejia, director of the confidential office of the war zone, sent an urgent telegram, and she handed the telegram directly to the Chief of Staff.

After the chief of staff read the telegram, his face paled immediately, and he handed the telegram to the deputy chief of staff.

The deputy chief of staff read: "Officer Jun Jian, chief of the fifth war zone: The three main regiments of our division built fortifications in Chenzhuang and Chenzhuang, and set up two lines of defense. After four hours of bloody fighting, they inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army. .

However, the Japanese army was strong and the artillery fire was fierce, and our army suffered heavy casualties. According to incomplete statistics, the casualties had exceeded 3000. It was really impossible to resist the Japanese attack and had to be forced to abandon the position.At present, the Japanese army has crossed the big and small Chenzhuang, and is heading towards Nanchang.Wu Tianming, commander of the 62nd Division. "

Hearing this news, the officers looked at each other in blank dismay, the whole war room was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

The deputy chief of staff's eyes went dark, his chest felt hot, the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, and his body shook.

Director Feng, who was standing aside, hurriedly supported him with his hands, and asked with concern: "Are you all right?"

The deputy chief of staff took a breath, shook his head, and gently pushed Director Feng away, he took a few deep breaths, felt that his condition was better, and cursed: "This damn Wu Tianming! After all, he gave up the position.”

The deputy chief of staff is well aware of the methods often used by generals who fear the enemy and avoid war in order to preserve their strength. He doesn't believe a word of why Wu Tianming gave up his position.

The Director of Operations said anxiously: "The big and small Chenzhuang are only 90 kilometers away from Sanhezhuang. There are only troops from the 62nd Division in this area. Now that the 62nd Division has abandoned its position, the Japanese army will drive straight in. I am afraid that we will be able to reach Sanhezhuang tonight." Hezhuang, our army will be attacked by the enemy.

Now, the regiment of the 62th Division, which was going to reinforce the 113nd Division, had just passed Sanhezhuang, and could no longer reach Chenzhuang and Xiaochenzhuang. They could only be ordered to build a position halfway to block the enemy.However, the time was too short, and it was difficult for them to build a solid defensive position, and their strength was too small, and they might not be able to resist the Japanese attack.In case of emergency, please attend to make a decision early. "

The sudden change made the Chief of Staff unable to make up his mind for a while, he said: "I need to be quiet and think about it carefully, and all of you should also think about the corresponding countermeasures." After speaking, the Chief of Staff walked into the side of the war room lounge.

After the chief of staff left, the officers in the war room discussed and discussed countermeasures.

Gao Jiu, Qin Feng, Guan Lie and others led the troops towards Nanfeng Mountain.

When the troops advanced to about 25 kilometers from the main peak of Nanfeng Mountain, they saw Li Xiaoshan galloping over on a fast horse.

After seeing Gao Jiu, Li Xiaoshan got off his horse and said, "Report to Lord Jiu, the 62nd Division has abandoned the positions of Chenzhuang and Xiaochenzhuang, and the Japanese army has passed Xiaochenzhuang and is heading towards Nanchang."

After Li Xiaoshan reported the situation, Guan Lie said angrily: "This damn Wu Tianming! In order to preserve his own strength, he did not hesitate to use our supplementary regiment as cannon fodder. Now, he gave up the blocking position without authorization and let the Japanese army drive straight in. It is really not a thing .”

Qin Feng said angrily: "Wu Tianming fears the enemy and avoids fighting, how can he look like a senior general of the national army? I will report his despicable behavior to the theater headquarters."

Gao Jiu stopped him and said, "Sooner or later, he will settle the score with him, but not at this time."

Qin Feng asked puzzledly: "Why? His behavior should be court-martialed."

Guan Lie also said: "Wu Tianming should be shot for such behavior, why let him get away with it?"

Gao Jiu said patiently: "Since Wu Tianming dares to do this, he has nothing to fear. He will defend himself, and there are people behind him to back him up. If he wants to be held accountable, it will not be possible in a short while.

Now is not the time to hold him accountable.In any case, he still has the strength of a division in his hands. If he can stick to Yudong County, he will be able to contain the strength of the Japanese Third Division and reduce the pressure on the Japanese army in southern Nanchang.

If this situation is reported to the theater command, the command will study how to hold him accountable.There is no impenetrable wall, and once he learns that the theater command wants to hold him accountable, he will be more resistant, and may abandon Yudong County, or even be forced to surrender to the enemy. "

Han Changgeng nodded and said, "Master Jiu is still considerate. Now is not the time to consider holding Wu Tianming accountable, as long as he doesn't trip us up."

Although Guan Lie is the head of the regiment, and his rank is not low, but he has little contact with the upper echelon, and he still can't see through many things above, so he is still a little bit aggrieved, he said: "Could it be that he is so cheap? "

Qin Feng was just a little excited just now, so he was a little confused. He has worked in the agency all year round and knows how to deal with similar things.He said: "Master Jiu, you are right. The most urgent thing is to stabilize him, at least let him cover Nanchang's flank. Then how should we report the situation here to the theater headquarters?"

Gao Jiu said: "We don't need to report this matter. The theater command naturally has their news channels. Let's not get entangled in such matters. We must speed up the march and occupy the Nanfeng Mountains before the Japanese reinforcements pass through the Nanfeng mountain area." The main peak of Fengshan Mountain, using the favorable terrain there to delay and block the Japanese army."

Qin Feng said: "Master Jiu, I think we should report our movements to the theater headquarters."

Gao Jiu said: "Don't worry about this matter, I will send a telegram to Staff Officer Lin, and she knows how to deal with it."

Speaking of this, Gao Jiu asked Qin Feng and others to lead the troops to speed up the march. He asked Jia Liu to set up a radio and send a telegram to Lin Yanni.

Military Intelligence Department of the Fifth Theater Command, Telecommunications Room.

Even though Lin Yanni is the deputy chief of the confidential department, she usually spends some time on duty, especially during this time, when Gao Jiu may call at any time.Therefore, she pays special attention to the frequency band she agreed with Gao Jiu.

It seemed that Lin Yanni had a tacit understanding, just as Lin Yanni adjusted the frequency to the frequency band she had agreed with Gao Jiu, the indicator light of the radio station lit up.

She copied the telegram and quickly translated it. She stood up and said to a female operator: "I'm going to report to the chief of staff. You are responsible for monitoring this frequency band. Before I come back, if there is a telegram from Mr. Gao , Find me in the war room of the headquarters immediately."

After finishing speaking, she hurried to the war room.

war room.

The Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, Director of Operations, Director Feng and others are negotiating urgently.

The director of operations said: "The enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon, and the situation is urgent. I suggest that in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, the original plan for the Nanchang campaign should be abandoned, and the troops that have already arrived at Sanhezhuang should monitor the Japanese troops in Sanhezhuang on the spot. Prevent the Japanese army from directly attacking Nanchang after the arrival of reinforcements from the Japanese army.

Let the 58th Division and the Nanchang Traffic Police Corps seize the time to evacuate Nanchang agencies, schools, hospitals and other units at all levels, and escort them to the area west of Didongling. "

Director Feng said worriedly: "It is too difficult to evacuate Nanchang in a hurry, and it will cause great losses."

The deputy chief of staff said: "It was a pity that we finally surrounded a lone Japanese army and gave up this opportunity to annihilate them."

The Chief of Staff was also very worried. The battle plan for the Nanchang Campaign had been reported to the Military Commission. The Military Commission was very interested in this campaign plan. They hoped that the Fifth War Zone could fight a beautiful battle of annihilation under the city of Nanchang to boost the low morale of the national army. If this battle plan is abandoned in this way, it is still uncertain whether the Military Commission will agree.

After repeated weighing, the chief of staff believed that once the reinforcements of the Japanese army arrived, the total force would reach three reinforced regiments, which would almost have the strength of a division of the Japanese army.With such a powerful Japanese army, it is almost impossible for the national army troops around Nanchang to encircle and wipe them out.

He made up his mind and decided to adopt the advice of the director of operations, abandoning the plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in the Nanchang area, abandoning Nanchang City, withdrawing the troops to the Dongling area, and establishing a new line of defense.

参谋长说道：“鉴于日军的援军即将到达，我决定放弃先前制定的南昌战役计划。以128军第57师、第85军112师监视三合庄的日军，第58师、南昌交警总队负责南昌城撤退工作。

Do you have any comments?If not, I will report to the Military Commission. "

The Director of Operations and Director Feng agreed with the opinion of the Chief of Staff.

The deputy chief of staff nodded and said: "I agree with this opinion. Alas, what a pity. I finally seized a fighter and surrounded a lone Japanese army. It is a pity that Wu Tianming, a mouse shit, ruined a pot of soup. I'm really not reconciled."

The chief of staff was also very unhappy. He shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the phone, and said, "Get me to the Military Commission."

At this moment, Lin Yanni walked in, and she went directly to the chief of staff, gave him a military salute, and said, "Report to attendees, I have important information to report to you alone."

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Come with me." Then, he put down the phone in his hand and took the lead towards the lounge next to the war room.

Ten minutes later, the chief of staff came out, and everyone was surprised to see that the chief of staff had a happy smile on his face.

He walked directly to the combat map hanging on the wall.The deputy chief of staff and the director of operations followed suspiciously.

Lin Yanni has always understood the rules and etiquette. Director Feng saw that Lin Yanni did not hand over the telegram to himself in the order of superiors and subordinates, but handed it directly to the chief of staff. content.Lin Yanni had a close relationship with Gao Jiu. Director Feng guessed that this telegram must have something to do with Gao Jiu. He was also full of curiosity as to what was so mysterious about it, and he followed to the battle map while thinking.

When he came to the wall chart on the wall, the chief of staff did not pick up the baton, but directly took his finger and gestured at a position about ten centimeters above his head.

Soon, his palm turned into a fist, and he slammed on the military map, and said excitedly: "It's great, Mr. Gao appeared too timely."

In the past few days, everyone has been paying close attention to the area pointed by the chief of staff's finger. They all know that it is the Nanchang area.Everyone's eyes fell on it, and they could see clearly that it was an area of ​​mountains, with three small characters "Nanfeng Mountain" written on it.

"Gao Jiu appeared in Nanfeng Mountain?" The deputy chief of staff and the chief of operations did not react for a while.

Director Feng understood, and he couldn't help but said: "I understand, Mr. Gao and the others went to Gaozhuang Town after demolishing the railway in the Xiaoguanzhuang area west of Xinfeng River. The original purpose was to stop the Japanese army at Nanfeng Mountain. reinforcements."

The Chief of Staff said excitedly: "That's right, Mr. Gao has taken the supplementary regiment, a reinforced company of the 58th Division's Guard Battalion, and a machine gun platoon and an engineer platoon from the 62nd Division to Nanfeng Mountain to fortify and block the Japanese reinforcements. "

"Great!" The deputy chief of staff also said happily.

The Director of Operations was also very happy, but he still felt a little worried instinctively. He said: "The vanguard of the Japanese army's reinforcements is a reinforced wing of the Japanese Third Division. Mr. Gao only has a supplementary regiment and a small number of troops. Can it stop the reinforcements of the Japanese army?"

Director Feng did not have so many scruples this time, and directly expressed his attitude. He said: "I believe Mr. Gao, who would have thought that he would be able to blow up the Xinfeng River Bridge alone? In the southwestern area of ​​Shandong, Mr. Gao only With a small unit of more than a hundred people, in cooperation with the newly formed 187th Division, they actually wiped out the 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army, who would have imagined that?"

The chief of staff said: "That's right, I also believe that Mr. Gao and the others will be able to stop the Japanese reinforcements."

The deputy chief of staff and the chief of operations had heard before that Gao Jiu had many legendary deeds, and the incident that just happened on the banks of the Xinfeng River made them feel admirable. Moreover, Gao Jiu was able to predict the 62nd Division in advance. Will give up the position, and take the initiative to fight to block, just this kind of vision, it has to be admired.

Although the two didn't know what tactics Gao Jiu would use to stop the Japanese reinforcements, they also believed that Gao Jiu was likely to be able to complete this task.

The deputy chief of staff said happily: "If Mr. Gao can really block the reinforcements of the Japanese army, then we can smoothly implement the previous plan of encircling and annihilating the Japanese army under the city of Nanchang."

The chief of staff clenched his fist, waved it vigorously, and said: "You are right. I am determined to continue to implement the original combat plan, resolutely eliminate this lone Japanese army in the Sanhezhuang area, and severely attack the arrogance of the Japanese army. .”

The staff officers in the war room had heard the conversations of the officers, and they were all in high spirits. Before the chief of staff gave an order, everyone got busy spontaneously.

Director Feng returned to his office in the Military Intelligence Department, and just as he sat down, he heard a knock on the door.
