Rogue Special Medic

Chapter 270 Lost in the first battle

On September 1937, 9, as soon as Zhang Minghui's plane arrived at Taiyuan Airport, Huang Xiansheng came to greet him in person. Zhang Minghui didn't bother to ask Yan Xishan, a commander, to pick him up in person. He was already used to these unspoken rules in the officialdom!

"Director, long time no see! The chief is still as handsome as ever, nothing has changed!"

Huang Xiansheng smiled: "I haven't changed much, but you, Xiaohui, have changed a lot. Now everyone in China knows you! If I were with you at the beginning... well, I would not accept military orders abroad. If you If we started fighting against Japan in Jinzhou, we wouldn’t end up fighting in Shanxi today!”

| "Hahaha, the director should not hurt the spring and the autumn, can't we fight against Japan together again now?"

"Well, I'll take you to meet Yan Xishan!"

"Director..." Jiu'er called Huang Xiansheng!

Only then did Huang Xiansheng realize that Jiu'er was there, and he was so focused on Zhang Minghui that he didn't have time to pay attention to the people around him: "Oh? Jiu'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"

Jiu'er nodded: "Brother Hui is taking care of me, I'm fine!"

"That's good..." Jiu'er had been following Huang Xiansheng's side at the beginning. Huang's family and Jiu'er's family were somewhat related, but they hadn't seen each other for several years!

Arriving at Yan Xishan's official residence, Yan Xishan had already greeted him at the gate, and he gave Zhang Minghui enough face: "Oh, Commander Zhang, I finally hoped for you to come, and my Shanxi is finally saved! Come in, the food and drinks are ready Okay, let's discuss the next plan while eating?"

Zhang Minghui nodded: "Well, the battle is urgent, and Commander Lao Yan is here!"

At the banquet, Yan Xishan boasted about Zhang Minghui's achievements in Northeast China, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. Zhang Minghui quickly got to the point. He didn't know much about the situation in Taiyuan, so I have to trouble Yan Xishan to introduce more!

After the Battle of Zhangjiakou in Nankou, the Japanese Kwantung Army’s Chahar Dispatch Corps formed an independent and mixed 1st Brigade with a total of more than 1500 people and occupied Datong, Shanxi Province on September 1937, 9, and immediately attacked Fengzhen (now part of Inner Mongolia) with a part. Attack the Yanbei area.The 13th Division of the Japanese Army marched westward from Xuanhua and Xinbaoan in Hebei, and even fell into towns in northeast Shanxi such as Guangling, Lingqiu, and Hunyuan. In late September, the Japanese command ordered Seishiro Itagaki to lead the 5th Division and the Chahar Corps to attack the defense line of the Great Wall in Shanxi with a total of more than 9 people, in an attempt to attack Taiyuan City.

After understanding the situation of the war, Zhang Minghui immediately opened the map of Shanxi and the surrounding areas. He had to study it carefully. After all, he didn't know the terrain and military situation when he just arrived here!

"Commander Yan, the little devil is coming in a menacing manner. Since the commander invited me here, I, Zhang Minghui, will take the lead, but I hope that you will give me enough rights, commander. I am a newborn kid, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone! Hahaha! "

Yan Xishan followed suit with a big laugh: "Mr. Zhang is laughing, as long as it is the troops in my second war zone, I will give you full power to command!"

"Well, then I have to thank you, Commander!" Zhang Minghui didn't know what Yan Xishan was planning. If Zhang Minghui won the battle, he was the boss, and the people of the whole country and the chairman of the committee could see it. Zhang Minghui was in charge of everything, and Zhang Minghui was also responsible for the failure of the command. At most, he had some joint and several responsibilities!

Zhang Minghui didn't bother, after eating, he brought Quan Boming, Li Erniu and others to the command center of the headquarters, and issued the first order to come to Taiyuan!

“阎锡山所部退守内长城的平型关,雁门关、神池一线。以第6集团军总司令杨爱源为右地区总司令,指挥3个军防守平型关东西一线;以第7集团军总司令傅作义为左地区总司令,指挥4个军防守雁门关东西一线;以第71、第72师为预备军,位于繁峙;令第18集团军(八路军)朱德总司令以第115、第120、第129师分别驰援平型关、雁门关、五台山配合作战!”

This was the first order issued by Zhang Minghui. The troops retreated. Many officers in Yan Xishan refused to obey, but Yan Xishan had already said that Zhang Minghui had full authority to command, so he had to obey!

In the evening, Jiu'er helped Zhang Minghui to sleep. After a day's flight, he was tired enough, and he had to worry about preventing the little devil's fighter jet from killing him. He was indeed a little tired.

But on that night, more than 1500 Japanese soldiers began to attack the outlying forward positions in Tianzhen County where the 425 regiment was stationed.

Zhang Minghui got the news immediately: "You little devil is moving so fast, it seems that I can't sleep!"

天镇县一共有四个团的国民党守军,分别是,“425、426、401、400、399团!”

Zhang Minghui ordered the troops to evacuate the positions of Lijiazhai and Luojiashan, and let the little devils in. After all, the number of little devils is still determined!

On September 9, the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops and launched a full-scale siege on the outer main positions such as Lijiazhai and Luojiashan.

The heads of the several regiments were a little dissatisfied at first. It was a pity to lose such a good position, but they all admired the attack of the little devil's plane and cannon!

Zhang Minghui ordered the 426th and 401st regiments to ambush at Daqiao and Hongshishan. These two places are not suitable for position defense warfare, but they can avoid the detection of the little devil's plane. It was originally thought that the Lijiazhai and Luojiashan positions would be stubbornly resisted. Unexpectedly, the Kuomintang army withdrew directly. It seemed that they were frightened by the majesty of the Imperial Japanese Army. The little devil came to two places with his toes high and high, and more than 1200 little devils entered the ambush where Zhang Minghui was. lock up!

With Zhang Minghui's order, the teams of more than 4000 people from the two regiments quickly surrounded the little devil's team. Annihilating more than 1200 little devils, but I also lost more than 800 people. This is the legendary killing of one thousand enemies and self-injury of eight hundred!

Zhang Minghui was very angry when he heard the news: "This is a war. If you don't manage it, you will die. You are not serious!"

The little devil soon knew that his team of more than 1200 people was wiped out by the Kuomintang troops, and he was very angry. You must know that there was no such a big loss against the Kuomintang troops!And it was defeated!

Zhang Minghui called the army commander Li Ying: "Order the troops to quickly withdraw from the main position in Tianzhen County, and wait for the opportunity to find fighters!"

But just now when his troops won the battle, Li Fuying was still in high spirits, and did not issue the retreat order in time!

On September 9th and 5th, the Japanese army used more than 6 aircraft, tanks, artillery, armored vehicles, and cavalry to attack the main position of Tianzhen.

During the attack, in addition to the bombing by planes, the cruel Japanese army even used poison gas bombs.The 400th regiment stationed at Panshan rose up to resist, but was outnumbered and ran out of ammunition and food. The regiment suffered more than 800 casualties, and was later broken by the Japanese army.

Hearing this news, Zhang Minghui was so angry that he vomited blood: "Li Ying, don't think that you can disobey the command because you are the commander of the army. All the troops should evacuate!"

On the night of the 7th, Army Commander Li Ying ordered the entire line to retreat, leaving only the 399th regiment in Tianzhen City. On September 9, the Japanese army began to attack Tianzhen City.In order to find out the truth, the Japanese army first sent a small team of 8 people to harass outside the east city gate, and was wiped out by the reconnaissance team sent by the 10 regiment outside the city.

As a result, the enemy changed its tactics, first sending planes to bomb, and then sending tanks and armored vehicles to attack under the cover of heavy artillery and gas bombs.After several attacks, they were all repelled by the defenders.The Japanese army continued to attack for three days and three nights, from morning to night every day, constantly attacking, leaving countless corpses in front of the battle.In the ten-mile border town, fireworks covered the sky and the sun, and the sound of shouts, guns, and aircraft roared day and night.Seeing that the attack could not work, the Japanese army began to bypass Tianzhen and attack Yanggao.

On September 9, Yanggao fell.The Japanese army turned back and besieged Tianzhen.The rear was blocked, and Li Ying, the army commander, ordered to withdraw from Tianzhen.As soon as the order came, all the soldiers of the 9 regiment who had already killed their red eyes stomped their feet and beat their chests, unwilling to abandon the city and retreat.Reluctantly, the military order was like a mountain. On the night of the 399th, the defenders withdrew from Ximen Hanhen and blew up all the bridges on Pingsui Road. On the 11th, Tianzhen fell, and the barrier in northern Shanxi was lost.

This battle was considered a failure. A total of more than 1900 enemies were wiped out, and nearly 2 people were lost in two regiments. Most of them died under the cannons of the little devil's plane and poison gas bombs. Zhang Minghui was very angry and angry that Li Ying did not obey the military order. Even more angry that the little devil actually used gas bombs!

Although it was a defeat, Yan Xishan had a smile on his face. Even in the Battle of Songhu, 10 troops may not be able to wipe out 1200 little devils in one fell swoop, but his own troops only used 4000 people. On the one hand, the fall was due to Li Ying's blind disobedience to orders, and more importantly, the Kuomintang troops were insufficiently prepared, while the little devils' troops were well-trained and planned for a long time, and their combat effectiveness was not at the same level!
