Age of Rebirth

Chapter 490: Two Foodies

Feng Jiwu also wanted to ask for defensive information such as troop deployment maps, topographic maps, firepower location maps, and steadfast points from them. Judging by the appearance of these two foodies, they probably didn't have anything. I really don't know what Yan Xishan thinks about such an important pass. , even if you don't release two tigers, at least two dogs that can bite the Japanese?But the two pigs are here, aren't they making fun of their own family fortune?

Fortunately, the division commander predicted the enemy's opportunity and ordered himself to reinforce overnight, otherwise, the current lady would close the door, and the Japanese sun flag should be flying. At this time, the chief of staff of the 91st Division rushed over after hearing the news. This is a smart and capable middle-aged man. His name is Zhou Zhenhui. He graduated from Baoding Military Academy in his early years. In the Jin Army, he was also one of the few veterans with a professional background. Normally, he should have led the army long ago, but with Liu Bingzhang, a foodie, who was pressing on his head, he couldn't get up for many years. The 91st Division is also fortunate to have him, and the situation is much better than the 97th Division.

After seeing Feng Jiwu, he quickly introduced all the situation, and it was very detailed. All the defenses were handled by him alone. Liu Bingzhang was just a decoration. In Niangziguan, the 97th Division was in charge. It was the current situation of the Jin army. He gave the two of them a hard look, and announced, as the deputy commander in chief of the Yellow River Basin, that Liu Bingzhang would be relieved of his position as commander of the 91st Division, and the chief of staff, Zhou Zhenhui, would act as the commander.

Wang Weihuai, the commander of the 97th division, was dismissed from his position as a division commander. Feng Jiwu's decision was a big surprise to Zhou Zhenhui. Working with human beings is a kind of torture in itself, let alone under his hands. [

He took a serious look at the young lieutenant general, and in his eyes there was a touch of a soldier dying for his confidant. Feng Jiwu ordered the guard battalion to detain the two foodies and deal with them after the battle was over. With a sound, the commander of the Jin Army, who was sifting chaff all over his body and his calf was twisted, and Zhou Zhenhui rushed to the front with the guard battalion.

Liu Bingzhang and Wang Weihuai, who were taken away, felt a sense of relief. They thought that the murderous Deputy Commander Feng would force him to go to the front line to command the soldiers and the Japanese to fight to the death. My grandma, that would lose her head Are the Japanese easy to mess with?But Tang Qiuli's deputy was even more difficult to mess with. Shooting the commanders was like playing games. Now, just dismissed from their posts and imprisoned, it is better to lose their officials than lose their heads.

The defensive position of Niangziguan is divided into left and right wings. The left wing is the position of the 91st Division, the right wing is the position of the 97th Division, and the 91st Division is very satisfied. Zhou Zhenhui's defensive system is quite in place. According to different terrains, set up corresponding The main positions and firepower points, especially the use of natural caves to store medicine and supplies, and to conceal soldiers.

The tall Niangzi closed the city gate, facing the direction of Hebei, and under his strong opinion, it was tightly blocked with layers of sandbags. If they did not attack from the back of Niangziguan, the fortifications here would be enough for the Japanese army to attack. Thousands of people chewed for a month, passed through the wide closed wall, and arrived at the position of the 10th Division.

Feng Jiwu was dumbfounded. There was no fortification in front of him. There were only a few thatched sheds, which were considered the only artificial buildings. It's crooked, as long as you kick a little harder, you can kick it down. As for bunkers, firepower points, etc., there is no such thing as hair. The soldiers of the 97th Division shrank their necks, holding big guns, and hid behind the cannons. Behind the stone wall of the gun is resignation.

When the Japanese army fired a cannon, several soldiers were always blown up to the sky. The rubble flying across the stone wall became a deadly weapon. More soldiers died under the rubble than were killed by the cannon. Feng Jiwu was so angry His eyes were filled with anger, he was joking with the lives of the soldiers, he turned his head to look at Zhou Zhenhui, the latter only had a bitter smile, he could do nothing, even his own troops had to resist Liu Bingzhang's many obstructions and cynicism until now scale.

The soldiers of the Independent Division also saw this situation. It was not their habit to be bombed. Braving the Japanese artillery fire and building in the field, they quickly formed foxholes, and then connected them into a trench. The blast hole also took shape. The soldiers of the 97th Division looked at it first, and probably felt that it was better than being bombed. This is a life-saving job. They picked up their belongings and followed suit. Under the guidance of the soldiers, the progress immediately accelerated. .

The artillery fire of the Japanese army became more and more fierce. On the top of the mountain, there were continuous bombing points everywhere. The gravel and soil from the explosion flew into the air, filled with gunpowder smoke. But the soldiers of the Jin army couldn't do it. The nearby cannon exploded, and they often trembled in fright, and quickly lay on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Zhou Zhenhui is an expert. He saw that the soldiers of the Independent Division were unique in building field fortifications. It was common sense to use the terrain. The artillery hole and the garrison hole are connected with the front fortifications by traffic trenches.

But he couldn't understand the trenches. The excavated gravel and soil were all piled up to the front, forming a gentle slope. Wouldn't that be good for the Japanese attacking troops to climb?As a rule, the steeper the terrain in front of the trench, the better, making it more difficult for the attacking side. If he couldn't understand it, he didn't have the nerve to ask.

The next scene made him very embarrassed. The artillery hole had just been dug, and the soldiers of the 97th Division threw away their belongings and burrowed into it. The soldiers roared with laughter, Zhou Zhenhui's face was hot, although he was not in his own army, but he was still a soldier of the Sanjin, he was like this, what a fucking shame, he cursed secretly.

Zhou Zhenhui was embarrassed, but Feng Jiwu was furious. Because there were no fortifications to use in the defensive area of ​​the 97th Division, the emergency field construction troops suffered more than 900 casualties under the Japanese shelling. This is a loss that should not have occurred. He shouted angrily: "Bring those two guys here!"

After a while, Liu Bingzhang and Wang Wei climbed up one step at a time, trembling with fear. Every sound of a cannon explosion made the two eaters tremble. I don’t know how they got to the position of teacher commander. Front position, face the Japanese with my soldiers," Feng Jiwu ordered coldly.

The two foodies suddenly turned ashen. They thought they could save their lives by hiding in the back, but they didn't know that this deputy commander Feng was ruthless enough. They looked at the general star on their collar badges, which means, have you seen the major general? Did the commander fight the Japanese desperately with a rifle?Disrespectful!What's more, you are not our direct superior, so you have no right to treat us like this, the old man's words are the truth.

Feng Jiwu understood and became even angrier. Both of them removed their military ranks. "You are ordinary soldiers now, and you have the obligation to fight at the front." He called a squad leader casually, "The two of them will be assigned to your squad. , they tried to escape, or flinched, and immediately enforced the battlefield discipline of the independent division on the spot, understand?"

Feng Jiwu squeezed out these few words from between his teeth, with a murderous look. Along the way, Zhou Zhenhui roughly told Feng Jiwu what these two guys did. Xinxin, especially when they heard that they had been in Niangzi Guan for more than a month, and they had raped more than a dozen innocent girls, causing their families to be destroyed.

It turned out that after the battle was over, the public trial would be executed. Now, save money and let these two things go to the front, it is also a redemption for a little sin. The squad leader who received the order replied loudly: "Understood, deputy commander, battlefield discipline is to be on the spot." Shoot!" Then, he looked at the two foodies with a smile, his expression was definitely like a cat seeing a mouse, "Let's go!" A few soldiers came over and took these two things that didn't know which leg to walk, Half-pull and half-drag to the position.

Zhou Zhenhui witnessed all of this and was deeply shocked. Such a thing would never happen in the Jin army. Even if he was dealing with a small battalion commander, he had to think twice before he acted. On the Internet, especially when it comes to people from Wutai County, which is the hometown of Chief Yan, there is a folk song circulating in Shanxi: "If you can speak Wutai dialect, you can carry a foreign knife."

It means that as long as a fellow from Wutai County of Chief Yan joins the Jin army, even if he can't even stand up and take a break, he can at least get a battalion commander to do it. A little bit, that's even more serious, the direct regiment leader, the teacher is also very likely, these two foodies are from Wutai County, and I heard that they are still in the same village as Chief Yan, and they have some indirect relatives. [

And this Lieutenant General Feng dealt with it mercilessly, with a very special technique, how should I put it?Look at the soldiers of the independent division with awe-inspiring righteousness, that kind of mental state, skillful tactical movements, this kind of troops is the hope of the Chinese army, and it is the only army like this to drive the Japanese invaders out of the land of China , to undertake this task.

Zhou Zhenhui had a great yearning in his heart. He really wanted to be in the environment of the independent division and experience this vitality for himself. Sure enough, after Yan Xishan's reinforcements arrived, he followed Feng Jiwu and retreated to the depths of the Taihang Mountains , officially broke away from the Jin army system, and later became a brigade commander of an independent division, a general who stood alone on one side. Until his later years, he was always grateful for his choice at the beginning.

The Japanese army attacking Niangziguan did not have as many troops as before. The two cavalry brigades Liu Chun and Tong Batu released by Tang Qiuli, more than 1 cavalry, swept the Japanese supply stations along the way like a whirlwind. After the transport team, the soldiers Feng pointed directly at the Baoding area, and Xiangyue Qingsi felt a big headache. It was his strategic rear, and his troops were empty. He seized the front and lost the rear. Is there any way to fight this battle?

Xiangyue Qingsi had to mobilize the troops of two divisions from the troops attacking Niangziguan, and return to defend Baoding. He was responsible for encircling and suppressing the cavalry troops of the independent division and attacking the Japanese army at Niangziguan. The total strength was about 12. , Feng Jiwu's pressure was greatly relieved, and Tang Qiuli's goal of mobilizing the Japanese army was initially completed.
