Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Who Can Give Me a Sword (3)

unsealed sword On May 24, not only did Lanfeng fall, but the Doihara Division was also approaching Kaifeng, and its "rapid advance team" was only forty miles away from Kaifeng. It can be imagined that Doihara and his immediate boss Xiangyue must be very happy at this time. The "North China Front Army" plus the "Central China Dispatched Army", with such a large scale of troops, took many twists and turns, and only occupied Xuzhou.Doihara is only a division, but it has traveled long distances. After breaking through the siege of Xue Yue's corps, it will also invade and occupy Kaifeng.

What is Kaifeng? It is an important city in the Central Plains, a famous city known as "China" even to many Japanese who usually stay at home. How can such an honor be compared to the one who invaded Xuzhou. Xiangyue is really tired of the high-level "North China Front Army" including the temple, and always thinks that one day she will fly to the sky by her own ability, and make a fool of herself for the temple to see. He had waited too long for this day, and there was an opportunity in front of him. It's a pity that the good situation was suddenly disturbed, and the person who disturbed the other situation was Hu Zongnan who rushed from the northwest.

If Hu Zongnan fails to arrive in time, Kaifeng will be in danger. After blocking this thrilling wave, Chiang Kai-shek wiped off his cold sweat, slapped the table, shouted at Xue Yue, and also at the generals of the corps he belonged to: "Give me some energy, and we must carry out another big attack on the Doihara Division." Surrounded, those who flinch will be punished, and those who make meritorious deeds will be rewarded. It took three whole days to launch the Lanfeng Battle, and the net went down, and nothing was caught, and even the net was punctured. I don't believe it anymore, why can't a large corps of more than a dozen divisions be able to catch a Doiyuan?

After walking back and forth in the headquarters for a few laps, Xue Yue suddenly had an epiphany. Judging from the lessons learned from the first failure, I am afraid that the mouth is still too wide open, and there are too many gaps, so that Doihara can fight wherever he wants, and he can slip wherever he wants. The progress is different, some are fast and some are slow, some are hardworking and some are slack, no wonder it can't be completed. Xue Yue issued an order to re-launch the general attack. This time, we must cut it first, divide and encircle the Doihara Division in various isolated strongholds, and then attack. Everyone implements the "contract responsibility system", and one person attacks one point, so that whoever shrinks will contribute , all can be seen clearly, no one can be lazy.

On the evening of May 25, Xue Yue gave an order, and the second encirclement suddenly started. It didn't take Xue Yue much effort to cut the first cut.Doihara had to advance forward and defend the rear. From Luowang Station to Lanfeng, and then to the south bank of the Yellow River, he had to deploy troops. He had a division, so his troops were scattered.Xue Yue's move hit the nail on the head. The rest is to chop hard. Initiating the first encirclement, Xue Yue put both Lu Jun and Shang Zhen in during the deployment. This time, I understand that the latter guys can fight. Mistake.

This time, no helpers are needed, but masters who can slaughter bears and tigers with bare hands. The first thing Xue Yue wants to conquer is Luo Wang, who is personally seated by Doihara, including Luo Wang Station and Luo Wang Village.This is the bridgehead where Doihara invaded and occupied Kaifeng, and it is also the last checkpoint on the Longhai Corridor in eastern Henan after Lanfeng. Li Hanhun believed that the general who was captured should commit suicide. If this barrier is not broken, the Longhai Line will not be able to open to traffic smoothly, and the trains and supplies that were cut off from Shangqiu will also fall into the hands of the enemy.

Xue Yue handed over this job to Li Hanhun and his East Route Army. Li Hanhun, a native of Wuchuan, Guangdong, graduated from the sixth phase of Baoding Military Academy and served as the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army at that time. Among the generals of the Guangdong Army, Li Hanhun was in the same period as Xue Yue and Ye Ting, also known as generals. During the civil war, he had been Zhang Fakui's deputy.After Zhang Fakui failed to oppose Chiang Kai-shek, he also became unlucky and could only go home and wait for work like Xue Yue. Li Hanhun came out again not because of Chiang Kai-shek's kindness, but because of Chen Jitang's call. However, during the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident, he was not satisfied with Chen Jitang's actions. He believed that there should be no more sudden civil wars in the face of the enemy, which would cause fratricide. .

"Loyal remonstrance" first, "loyal remonstrance" did not listen, Li Hanhun sealed the gold hanging seal, resigned and left.Compared with many friends who find all kinds of "legitimate reasons" to fire at their benefactors, this move is quite valuable. After Li Hanhun's 64th Army was transferred to Wuhan, it was originally under Ye Zhao's command, but everyone from Li Hanhun himself to his subordinates was extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement. Not only are they all commanders of the same army, they belong to the same rank. What’s more, he thinks that Ye Zhao’s performance in the defense of Nanjing was terrible. Captured by devils.

If the general is captured, he should commit suicide! This standard is of course too high.There is no rule in the military book that generals cannot be taken as prisoners. American generals were once in the concentration camps of the Japanese army, and Ye Zhao escaped in the end, but Li Hanhun didn't care about it. This guy has already humiliated the Cantonese army, how can he still have the nerve to lead me? Participating in the Battle of Lanfeng and being included in Xue Yue's Corps was a relief for Li Hanhun, because he didn't have to lose face with Ye Zhao anymore. The Sixty-fourth Army was the first to arrive at Shangqiu. Once here, Li Hanhun couldn't help but get excited.Not only because it is the home of the Northern Expedition, but also because "Zhang Suiyang Chi" was born here in history.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Zhang Xun, known as "Yue Fei of the Tang Dynasty", led less than 10,000 people, and defended Suiyang (now Shangqiu) to the death. He fought more than 400 times and killed countless rebels. An Qingxu was blocked outside the city for October. For a long time, he could not move forward. In that rare turmoil, Guanzhong, which was once prosperous for a while, has since been in decline, and has not been revived until modern times, while the canals and the Jianghuai River survived alone, and Zhang Xun made a great contribution.According to historical records, Zhang Xun "cracks his teeth every time he fights", so Wen Tianxiang included "Zhang Suiyang Teeth" in "Song of Righteous Qi" as his spiritual idol.

Our ancestors encountered great difficulties again and again, but how heroic and calm the sages were. Long before Xue Yue's corps was fully assembled, Li Hanhun resolutely moved the military headquarters into Shangqiu City regardless of the danger of the situation, in order to learn from "Zhang Suiyang Teeth" and vowed to live and die with the ancient city. The main force of the Eastern Route Army is the 64th Army of the Cantonese Army under Li Hanhun. Unlike other troops who were wounded in Shanghai or Nanjing, the 64th Army can be called an unopened sword. Time to try the edge. What made Li Hanhun dissatisfied was precisely his own Cantonese army.The weapons of the Sixty-fourth Army were all replenished after arriving in Hankou, and some weapons had not been opened before participating in the Battle of King Luo.In addition, although the Sixty-Fourth Army has veterans as a foundation, and these veterans have been trained by Li Hanhun for seven years, there are also many new recruits. They are new to the battlefield and lack actual combat experience against the Japanese army. No matter how dissatisfied, no matter how flawed, this battle must be fought well, otherwise the Guangdong children will lose face. King of Three Attacks On May 25, Li Hanhun personally rushed to the front to supervise the battle.A group of Chinese and foreign journalists who either retreated from Xuzhou or came from Zhengzhou accompanied them to watch the battle. King Luo's place is not big, but it is stronger than Lanfeng City.On the outskirts of Luowang Station and Luowangzhai, there are permanent fortifications made of reinforced concrete, such as artillery bunkers, machine gun bunkers, shelters for personnel and equipment, and headquarters.In the past, you used it to block the Japanese invading army, but now the Japanese invading army uses it to block you. The thing is still the same thing, but with the change of attack and defense, the owner has changed. However, as long as there are heavy artillery, there is no fortress that cannot be broken, because the "Oriental Maginot" is not a real Maginot. Artillery troops concentrated to King Luo. You don't have guns, I have guns.
