I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 222 Successfully broke through and attacked Chuzhou

Principal Chang frowned when he heard this. From the July [-]th Incident to the present, just over half a year has passed, and nearly one million Central Army elites under his command have almost been lost.

The only troops with relatively complete organizational strength were Tang Enbo's 20th Army and Hu Zongnan's First Army.

You know, when the defense of Nanjing was in a hurry, he didn't transfer Mr. Hu, who was on the north bank, to participate in the war.

Because, the Battle of Songhu ruined the hundreds of thousands of elite Central Army he worked so hard to manage, and directly scared Principal Chang.

He was so afraid that he didn't dare to put his few remaining direct troops into the defense of Nanjing, which was impossible to defend.

As for the 88th and 87th divisions, the teaching corps and other direct-line units have been disabled, it is not worth mentioning.

So, at this time, Li Pinxian wanted him to send Mr. Hu to the south to raid Chuzhou.

Even knowing that there is a possibility of success, and once successful, the results that can be produced are of great significance.

He was also reluctant, so after pondering for a while.

Principal Chang resolutely rejected Li Pinxian's request, and ordered Wang Shihe: "Call Li Pinxian back immediately and ask him to dispatch a troop to go south to attack Chuzhou in a roundabout way!

All in all, no matter what method he thinks of, he must take back the lost position on the north bank of the Huaihe River, keep the Japanese on the Huaihe River line of defense, and never allow a Japanese soldier to go north before the battle of Taierzhuang is decided. ! "

Wang Shihe didn't dare to disobey, so he had to bow his head and accept the order: "Yes!"

……

Guzhen, General Command of the 31st Army Group.

After receiving the call back from Principal Chang, Li Pinxian couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, let me send troops to the south by myself?

Fortunately for Jiang, he figured out that my troops are all on the north bank of the Huaihe River, and the south bank has long been occupied by the Japanese army!
Not to mention that our troops can't cross the Huaihe River now, and the north bank is hundreds of miles away from Chuzhou. By the time we arrive, the day lily will be cold!

He, Jiang, is a military idiot, so he arranged this way! "

The major general Gao Can who was at the side was very frightened, and quickly lowered his voice to persuade: "Chairman, be careful and calm your anger!"

Li Pinxian said angrily: "What I said is the truth, what is there to be afraid of?"

As a Baoding military officer who was not born in Huangpu, he followed Tang Shengzhi from the platoon leader to the army commander.

After Tang Shengzhi was defeated, he turned to join the Guangxi Clan. Relying on his relationship with Xiao Zhuge's classmates, he made great progress all the way and became a powerful figure in the Gui Clan.

Li Pinxian was not in awe of Principal Chang like General Huangpu, that's why he dared to complain and complain crazily here.

Major General Gao had no choice but to shut up after seeing the situation. Li Pinxian could complain about the veteran like this, but subordinates like them could not.

Because Principal Chang can't kill a commander-in-chief of the Army Group Army, a second-level general, but it's not a problem to kill them, middle and lower officers.

After Li Pinxian vented his inner dissatisfaction and anger, Major General Gao Shencai continued to ask: "Chief Commander, are we going to counterattack next?"

Li Pinxian glared at him angrily and said, "If someone Jiang doesn't cooperate, how can I counterattack?"

……

Southeast of Hefei, Zhaoji Town.

The tank battalion and cavalry company led by Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and others finally caught up with the main units of the regiment waiting here.

As soon as the two troops converged, Chief of Staff Liang Shan and Deputy Chief of Staff Lin Baoguo rushed over excitedly to greet them.

"Tuan Zuo, you've made it, what's the matter, the devil didn't continue to chase, did he?"

"No." Xu Qingfeng said: "How is your side, did you find the devils intercepting it?"

Lin Baoguo shook his head and said, "No, let's just say that there are no devils in this Zhaoji Town, only some local security forces and militia routs, all of which we took down."

Zhou Weiguo analyzed from the side: "The devils have just captured Jiangbei, and their troops are limited, and it is too late to digest the entire Jiangbei area.

Therefore, the vast market towns and remote rural areas have not actually fallen. "

Xu Qingfeng nodded and said: "Well, that's right. In fact, the Japanese army's control range is limited to the towns and both sides of the Jinpu railway line, covering no more than fifty kilometers at most."

Chief of Staff Liang Shan also nodded and said: "Yes, in this way, it seems that our transfer to the Japanese theater is not as difficult as imagined."

While several people were talking, Liu Bohui, director of the communications department of the regiment, ran toward them in a hurry with a telegram in hand.

When he got to the front, Liu Bohui immediately stood up and saluted everyone, and then reported solemnly: "Reporting delegation, attendees, just now we received an inquiry telegram from Wuchang Xingyuan.

Principal Chang asked about our current location, military strength, etc. Will you answer? "

In order to keep his whereabouts concealed, Xu Qingfeng told Liu Bohui to also pay attention to radio silence before the troops broke through.

Therefore, the radio was not turned on all the way, and they did not dare to turn on the radio until the troops arrived in Zhaoji Town.

Xu Qingfeng didn't reply in a hurry, but asked Zhou Weiguo, Liang Shan, and Lin Baoguo, "Do you guys think we should answer?"

Lin Baoguo said without hesitation: "The principal asked, of course he will reply."

Liang Shan also nodded and echoed, "Yes, no matter what, that's our principal.

Looking around the world now, among the regiment-level troops, I am afraid that our Huben regiment is the only one that can let the principal send a message to inquire about his safety. "

Finally, Xu Qingfeng's eyes fell on Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Weiguo pondered for a while and said: "I also agree to reply, otherwise it is really unreasonable.

And the most important thing is that we can learn about the changes in the entire battle situation through direct contact with Wuchang Xingyuan, so as to make operational arrangements that are most conducive to our breakout and transfer. "

"Yes!" Liang Shan and Lin Baoguo nodded their heads in agreement.

Xu Qingfeng also felt that it made sense, so he let go of his preconceptions, turned to Liu Bohui and said, "Director Liu, call the principal immediately and report our approximate location and the general situation of the troops.

Remember, it’s just a rough idea, don’t reveal the details!Especially our location! "

The reason for this arrangement was not that Xu Qingfeng did not trust Principal Chang, but that he was worried that the spies lurking inside the national army would learn the news, which would bring disaster to himself and the Huben regiment.

This is also one of the reasons why he decided to reply after consulting Zhou Weiguo and others.

History has proved that there are not a few Japanese spies lurking inside the national army.

"Yes!" Liu Bohui responded with understanding, saluted Xu Qingfeng again, and quickly took the order and left.

……

Wuchang Xingyuan.

Wang Shihe quickly came to Principal Chang again, and reported to him respectfully: "Principal, good news, the Huben Group has contacted."

"Oh?" When Principal Chang heard this, he suddenly asked with interest: "How is it? How is the situation of the Huben Group now? Where are they?"

Wang Shihe said: "In the Battle of Hefei, the Huben Regiment suffered hundreds of casualties, but its strength still exists.

At present, under the leadership of Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo, the troops have successfully broken out from Hefei and moved to the Feidong area.

We are still moving eastward and evacuating, please take a seat. "

Principal Chang frowned and asked, "Are they still evacuating east?"

"Yes." Wang Shihe nodded and said: "It seems that they want to transfer to the Suzhong area east of the Jinpu line, and then return to the team through the Suzhong area, or go north.

After all, their current location is east of Hefei and west of the Jinpu Line, surrounded by Japanese war zones, which is really unsafe. "

Principal Chang waved his hand and said, "Go, quickly bring me a small combat map, hurry up!"

Although Wang Shihe was a little confused, he still bowed his head and said, "Yes!"

Immediately turned around and ran out. After a short meeting, he went back and forth with a small combat map in his hand.

Principal Chang took the map and immediately laid it out on the table. While looking at the map, he asked Wang Shihe who was standing beside him, "Hurry up and help me find out the location of Xu Qingfeng's headquarters on the map, as well as Chuzhou, Jinpu, etc. line position."

As soon as the words fell, Principal Chang had actually found the Feidong area.

Wang Shihe even pointed to Feidong on the map with quick eyes, and brought it to Chuzhou: "The committee members are all here."

Principal Chang stared at the map, looked back and forth, and immediately said with joy: "Shihe, good news!"

Wang Shihe still couldn't keep up with Principal Chang's brain circuit. He looked at the map in a daze, then looked up at Principal Chang and said, "Commissioner, the students are dull, and don't know where the good news comes from?"

Principal Chang patted the area east of Feidong on the map, pointed at Chuzhou and said, "Look at the positions of Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo, and then look at Chuzhou."

Wang Shihe looked back and forth carefully, and immediately realized, he suddenly realized: "Committee, you mean to let Xu Qingfeng lead the Huben regiment to carry out Li Pinxian's mission to raid Chuzhou and cut off the Japanese army's supply line?"

Principal Chang nodded with joy and said: "Yes, Mr. Hu Nannan is responsible for the safety of Central Jiangsu and cannot be touched lightly for the time being, but Xu Qingfeng's Tiger Regiment still has strength, and it will come in handy!"

Wang Shihe's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he couldn't help nodding his head and said: "You are wise, with Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo's ability to use troops, the tiger's regiment is sharp.

It would be great if they were sent to attack Chuzhou quickly, and they would definitely be able to win in one fell swoop! "

Principal Chang also said inexplicably excitedly: "As long as the Huben Regiment wins Chuzhou, it will be able to cut off the logistics supply line of the main force of the Japanese army on the north bank of the Huaihe River.

Li Pinxian and other troops were able to take advantage of the situation to counterattack and recapture the lost positions in one fell swoop, thus re-stabilizing the Huaihe River defense line and blocking the Japanese army south of the Huaihe River.

And then directly and beneficially support the decisive battle in the main battlefield in northern Xuzhou! "

"Yes, appointed seat." Wang Shihe followed suit and nodded.

Principal Chang immediately ordered: "Immediately give a direct order to the Huben Regiment, ordering Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo to lead his troops to march at full speed and raid Chuzhou. Chuzhou must be captured and the enemy's advance base will be destroyed.

Cut off the logistics supply line of the main force of the Japanese army on the southern front, so as to support the 31st Army and even our army on the entire Xuzhou battlefield! "

"In addition, report this news to Li Pinxian's 31st Army and tell him that if the Huben Regiment takes Chuzhou and he cannot regain the lost position, military law will be followed!"

"Yes!" Wang Shihe accepted the order gladly, turned around and left quickly after saluting.

……

Zhaoji Town, the temporary base of the Huben Regiment.

Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo got off the tank and were eating and resting with Liang Shan, Lin Baoguo and others in a private house that was used as a temporary regiment headquarters, discussing the next specific retreat route.

After all, further east, they will be close to the Jinpu line, where to cross the Jinpu line, and after crossing the railway line, they should move to that place again.

These are all things that require long-term planning and preparation in advance.

Just when several people were discussing intensely, Liu Bohui, director of the communications department, appeared again.

Standing at attention to Xu Qingfeng and saluting: "Tuan Zuo, there is an urgent call from Wuchang Xingyuan!"

"What's the content?" Xu Qingfeng was startled when he heard it, because his intuition told him that nothing good should happen.

After all, the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War is like a badly damaged ship, with leaks and emergencies everywhere.

It is impossible for good news to reach the Huben regiment. Wuchang Xingyuan called again, it can only be because of a new combat mission, or other unfavorable bad news.

Zhou Weiguo, Liang Shan, Lin Baoguo and others also all looked at Liu Bohui in unison, waiting for the answer.

Facing the eager eyes of Xu Qingfeng and others, Liu Bohui immediately opened the telegram in his hand and read: "The commissioned telegram ordered the Huben Regiment to rush eastward immediately, raid Chuzhou City, and destroy the enemy's logistics supply base.

Cut off the Japanese army's logistical supplies on the Huaihe River front line to cooperate with the various units of the 31st Group Army to recapture the Huaihe River defense line! "

Xu Qingfeng thought to himself, there really is something wrong.

Zhou Weiguo personally stepped forward to take the telegram, read it quickly, and then handed it to Xu Qingfeng and Liang Shan.

Xu Qingfeng also scanned it all at once, and then asked Zhou Weiguo and Liang Shandao: "What do you think? Do you want to carry out this order?"

Zhou Weiguo was the first to speak and said: "Aside from the fact that this order was issued by the principal himself.

Judging from the geographical location and the situation of the enemy and ourselves, the raid on Chuzhou is really of strategic value!

Because judging from the map, Chuzhou must be the advancing base of the Japanese army. If we can really win this place.

Not only can it cut off the logistics supply line to attack the enemy, but it can also fully mobilize the enemy.

You can cross the Jinpu line, transfer to the central Jiangsu area, and then go north to Xuzhou without any worries. "

Liang Shan also nodded and said in agreement: "I also agree with Deputy Head Zhou's analysis, group seat, now the Huai River defense line has fallen.

If we don't cooperate with the 31st Army to take it back, then the Japanese army will be able to take the momentum of victory and march northward, directly threatening Xuzhou, and the consequences will be disastrous. "

Lin Baoguo also nodded and said: "Yes, besides, this order was issued by the principal himself. If we don't execute it, it will be considered as disobedience on the battlefield. This is not allowed!"

Xu Qingfeng also knew that the battle in northern Xuzhou should have reached the most critical moment.

Even if he doesn't think about Principal Chang, he still has to think about the soldiers of the national army who are fighting bloody battles on the front line, as well as the countless companions of the common people in East China.

Especially Sichuan Army athletes such as Wang Mingzhang from Teng County in the bloody battle, and Northwest Army officers and soldiers such as Chi Chengfeng who will soon be studying in Taierzhuang.

As a conscientious Chinese soldier, we must not let their blood flow in vain!
