Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 639 Breakthrough (Sixteen)
Since the Japanese army mobilized and formed its troops, its air force has participated in the battle endlessly.In order to avoid the oolong incident of accidentally bombing one's own people, the Japanese planes participating in the war were basically fighter jets, using machine guns or cannons to attack the ground.

Because of the existence of this type of Japanese aircraft, the danger level near the front line is greatly increased, because if you are not careful, once you are targeted by a certain Japanese aircraft, there is only one possibility, or if you blow up that Japanese aircraft, Or be smashed to pieces by dense machine gun bullets.Although Ouyang Yun used a sniper rifle to shoot down a Japanese plane in Renqiu, it was a long time ago, and his gun had already been handed over to the public.Therefore, although Fang Shuhong had heard of this legend, he would never believe it.

It can be said that Ouyang Yun took a great risk waiting for Fang Shuhong here.At the place where he and Fang Shuhong met, the Japanese planes raging at low altitude could be clearly seen.

Fang Shuhong sternly reprimanded Liu Kui precisely because of this.

Of course, Ouyang Yun had his reasons for taking risks.This reason is naturally not the high-sounding so-called "you have not crossed the river, how can I go first" as he said first.He did this just to get Fang Shuhong's full support.

That's right, Fang Shuhong did not dare to disobey his orders because of the young commander's instructions.However, not disobeying orders does not mean that you will do your best.The Northeast Army and the Xuebing Army are two different systems. In the Northeast Army, if Fang Shuhong wants to maintain or improve his current status, he must not lose the soldiers in his hands.This is a great hindrance to Ouyang Yun's plan.Because of this battle, Ouyang Yun was bound to condense the 26th Division, [-]th Division, and Xuesan Division into one fist, and it was a fist full of temptations for little devils.Such a fist must not only attract the enemy, but also be able to hurt the enemy, so sacrifice must be inevitable, and even if one is bad, the entire army may be wiped out.So, at that time, will Fang Shuhong still obey Ouyang Yun's order like now?

Hard to say.

Ouyang Yun revealed all the difficulties he was facing and his own plans. Whether this kind of candor could impress Fang Shuhong was one thing. At least, it could give the other party a sense of confidence and prevent him from misunderstood his next command.

"Mr. Fang, the Japanese army is powerful now, and it is very difficult to win. But for now, as long as our army can get out of trouble safely, as long as we can bring most of our brothers back, we will be victorious. China's land covers more than 1000 million square kilometers , We still have strategic space and time. Little Japan wants to destroy us in three months. It is wishful thinking. I believe that as long as you and our armed forces cooperate fully, it is not impossible to defeat the morale of the Japanese army in Nanjing." In the end, Ouyang Yun said Said.

As an old man of the Northeast Army, Fang Shuhong has rich experience in actual combat and is not lacking in tactical theory. When Ouyang Yun said the last words, he was thinking silently, and at this time he replied firmly: "Commander, you can let go and command, we The Northeast Army has been a coward for a while, and this time it is just to take this opportunity to wash away its past shame. Please believe that the officers and soldiers of our [-]th Division and [-]th Division must only follow the commander's lead."

Ouyang Yun nodded, shook his hand, and said: "Then let's keep in touch at any time, now, just follow the first step."

"Yes!" Fang Shuhong saluted Ouyang Yun.

At the boat ferry pier at the mouth of the Yangtze River in Wuhu City, Zhang Meixin, the commander of the [-]th Division, was surrounded by officers and guards directly under the division and finally waited for the vanguard troops of the first sequence. In the army, there was no senior officer he knew.The first sequence has the [-]st Division, the [-]th Xue Division, and the [-]th Division of the Sichuan Army. The three division commanders plus the commander-in-chief of the sequence, Li Hanhun, did not show up.In the middle of the army, there was a group of people who seemed to be in the brigade-level headquarters. When this group approached, he realized that there was actually a lieutenant general in it. He was an officer of the same division commander level as him. However, this person Why does it look so familiar?
In this army, a regiment has already been dispatched. Zhang Meixin can't evaluate the quality of the officers and soldiers of this regiment face to face, but he is still thinking about it in his heart: Is it the [-]st, [-]st and [-]st divisions?Otherwise, why does the quality of this soldier seem so uneven?There is also a problem with the equipment, why is there such a thing as the old sleeve?There is also a problem with the Maxim, the barrel is rusted, can it fire?
Not only Zhang Meixin, but also those from the tenth division with a little discernment, all saw the problems of this unit.And all these questions were solved after the lieutenant general and division commander reported himself.

The division commander actually knew Zhang Meixin. He got out of the car all the way, walked over, and when he was four or five meters away from Zhang Meixin, he saluted him: "Guo Yulin, the deputy commander of the Second Army of the Xuebing Army and the commander of the new first division. I have met Master Zhang."

Zhang Meixin quickly returned the gift, and then he was surprised: What kind of organization is this mixed with the new division of the Second Army?Newly established?The reinforcements sent by the base camp?No, if it's reinforcements, they have to pass by us, right?Did they call from Zhenjiang?But there is a division of devils in Zhenjiang.It's a bit abnormal, but there is nothing wrong with the password, and as a deputy army commander, why doesn't he have the slightest impression of the name Guo Yulin?Zhang Meixin was puzzled, when Guo Yulin stepped forward and handed him a letter written by Li Hanhun himself.

After reading this letter, Zhang Meixin finally understood everything, and his complexion suddenly became gloomy.

This force turned out to be composed of supplies and logistics personnel under the Nanjing Garrison Command, and they came to Wuhu to replace them.And Guo Yulin, the deputy commander of the mixed Second Army and the division commander of the new first division, was originally just a major staff officer under Li Hanhun. It's just a regiment assigned to him by the fifth division.

Li Hanhun rewrote in the letter that he was asked to complete the handover as soon as he received the letter, and then lead his troops to He County.

Wuhu, as a stronghold on the south bank of the Yangtze River that can lead directly to Fujian and Guangdong, is self-evident to the importance of the Xuebing Army.Because of the existence of the Huainan Railway, and because of the large ferries used to carry the train carriages across the river, it is very convenient for troops to cross the river. If it was not to implement the order of the Military Commission to guard Pukou and then garrison Nanjing to cover the retreat of the main force, Ouyang Yun could even choose to travel directly westward from Zhenjiang to Wuhu.

It is precisely because he knows the importance of Wuhu to the Xuebing army that after Zhang Meixin led the Xueshi Division to occupy Wuhu, he practiced it personally. On the basis of Wuhu's original industrial defense, it took only one week to add three more minefields. , four forts, seven trenches, and a large-scale air-raid shelter was dug.

Since the First Battle of Jiangyin Fortress, Xueshi Division has not caught any major battles. Although the corresponding battle losses are small, it is not a good thing for soldiers who want to make contributions.Hearing that several other divisions were fighting the little devils in full swing in Nanjing, so everyone from the division commander Zhang Meixin to the ordinary soldiers took a breath in their hearts, wanting to show their might in the next battle.However, the knife was sharpened and the enemy came, but such an order came.No wonder he was in a bad mood.

Seeing Zhang Meixin's change of expression, Guo Yulin smiled wryly in his heart - this scene was something he had expected on the road.

Li Hanhun's letter did not mention anything else, because when he wrote this letter, he had not received a definite reply from Ouyang Yun.The reason for the pre-arrangement is because no matter whether Ouyang Yuntong agrees or not, these people are all going to Wuhu, and it doesn't make much difference if they go a few days earlier or a few days later.

Zhang Meixin shifted his gaze and glanced at the troops that kept passing in front of him one by one. After a long time, he said to Guo Yulin, "Commander Guo, since this is the case, let's complete the handover as soon as possible. Chief of Staff, give Commander Guo the defense map."

Liu Degang, the chief of staff of the 16th Division, stepped forward, opened his briefcase, took out a blueprint and handed it to Guo Yulin, saying, "Commander Guo, Wuhu is of great importance, so please be sure to guard it. However, it is more than [-] kilometers away, and we will arrive tonight at the latest, so hurry up and enter the position."

"Yes. Master Zhang, Chief of Staff Liu, everyone, then I will take my leave first. Please rest assured that Guo Yulin will not let the little devil's plan succeed if he has a breath."

Several people saluted each other, and then marched towards Wuhu City in two directions.

Zhang Meixin and the others wanted to return to the city to gather troops, while Guo Yulin wanted to go to the southern suburbs immediately to familiarize himself with the battlefield.

Most of the officers and soldiers were quite puzzled when the tenth school division withdrew from Wuhu and marched towards Chaohe County.At present, the situation of both the enemy and the enemy has become clear. Although there is a threat of a Japanese army in the direction of Hexian County, it is blocked by the natural danger of the Yangtze River, so it may not be possible to fight.But here in Wuhu, the 16th Division is very close at hand, and a bad battle must be inevitable.The officers and soldiers of the [-]th Xue Division were originally prepared to fight a big battle, but now they are ordered to abandon their hard-working positions and cross the river to He County, so it's no wonder they have ideas.

If you have an idea, you have an idea. The efficiency of learning from the Tenth Division is still very high. The new First Division of the mixed Second Army has just crossed the river, and they have gathered at the Wuhu Ferry, waiting to cross the river.At the ferry, Zhang Meixin's tense face relaxed when he saw a steady stream of troops coming across the river.

Li Hanhun did not mention any specific combat missions in the telegrams and letters, but with Zhang Meixin's ability, he could more or less guess something behind it.To replace the main force with the logistics force, and operate it secretly, it must be planning a bigger battle, or even encirclement and annihilation.However, with a force like the New First Division, which is obviously uneven in combat effectiveness, can it hold Wuhu?And once Wuhu is lost, at least the Xuebing Army will fall into an extremely passive situation.From this point of view, Zhang Meixin was very worried whether this move by the headquarters would be counterproductive.After seeing the size of the entire mixed army, he was relieved.The combat effectiveness of the mixed second army is already predictable and not strong, but if they have an advantage in numbers, it shouldn't be a problem to hold Wuhu, right?At this moment, he can only think so.
