Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Who Can Give Me a Sword (4)

Li Hanhun pushed the heavy artillery near the fortifications and bombarded them at close range.Seeing that the firepower net of the Japanese invading army was suppressed, the infantry of the Cantonese army immediately charged with guns and shouts. Half a year ago, Guangdong soldiers also rushed and shouted outside Nanjing. It was a desperate cry on the road to survival, but now it is the clarion call for revenge and victory. The charge, to some extent, was the accumulation of casualties, and the Cantonese army suffered heavy casualties. Li Hanhun felt that this was not enough, so he called the troops back.

Heavy artillery, continue to bombard, not allowing a little barrier for the devils. Seeing that all the fortifications on the periphery had been bombed and smashed, Li Hanhun launched another attack. The Cantonese army had just entered Luowang Station on the back foot, but the Japanese invading army that had withdrawn from the front foot came back. The main force of the Doihara Division, whose fighting ability is naturally not covered, just squeezed the Cantonese Army out of the station again. After two ins and two outs, the officers and soldiers of the Cantonese army were already covered with corpses. Just listening to the casualty figures in the command post was already frightening. What's more, Li Hanhun was watching with a telescope on the front line, and the tragic situation on the battlefield could be seen clearly. Chu.

Li Hanhun said that he was not only crying, but also "running like a spring", which seems a bit exaggerated, but if it is related to his later belief in Buddhism, if you put yourself in his shoes, it really feels like cutting your skin with a knife. "If you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more." The real battlefield is originally a place to torture people's conscience. The time passed from noon to evening, the setting sun was like blood, and the smoke was wafting. King Luo was still difficult to capture. Luo Wang is the main show, so he has to sing well no matter what.After Li Hanhun, Xue Yue also came to the front line in person to do on-site work.This portrait of a Chinese soldier was once famous

The outlying fortifications of the Japanese invading army were all blown up, but the strongholds could not be taken down. Because the Doihara Division was really capable of fighting, even if the Cantonese army followed suit, it was useless. After Xue Yue learned about the situation, he immediately issued an order to other nearby troops, asking them to step up their attacks in order to contain and disperse the forces of the Doihara Division in King Luo. He is weak, we have to be strong.Tiger Boy spoke Cantonese, chatting with the Guangzai in the frontline trenches, and learned that due to unsatisfactory logistics and transportation, some young men had not eaten for more than a day.

People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat for a day, how can you fight a war.Xue Yue immediately picked up the phone and asked for the meal to be delivered quickly. The commander-in-chief of the corps personally urged to ask about the meal, and the logistics troops had to deliver the meal even in the face of the devil's cannon, which greatly boosted the morale of the Cantonese army. In front of Xue Yue, Li Hanhun gave the order to attack King Luo three times. Learning from the lessons of the previous two times, Li Hanhun demanded that the artillery must follow the infantry to advance together, and then fire when they approached the station, and the infantry was not allowed to enter the station until the station was blown to nothing.

When the gunfire stopped, the Japanese invading army would of course charge back, but this time the Cantonese army was determined not to retreat, and their fighting will was tenacious, which surprised the opponents. At the critical moment, Hu Zongnan came to help, and he made a detour from the back of Luowangzhai, which shocked Doihara, who was commanding Luowangzhai. The front door can't stand it, and the back door is about to be locked. If you don't run, you will be surrounded. If you can, run fast. On May 28, Li Hanhun recovered King Luo. In the command post of the Japanese army in Luowangzhai, Li Hanhun found many documents abandoned by the Japanese invading army, and one of the spoils was eye-catching, which was the command sword worn by Doihara himself.

Japanese army knives are usually of high quality, and Doihara's knives are not a joke.He took a stack of twenty large copper coins and put them on the table, and swung the saber across, splitting them all in half. Even the treasured sword around his waist was lost, which shows the swiftness and determination of the Cantonese army when they attacked and the panic before Doihara's escape. The day before King Luo was recovered, Lanfeng was also lost and recovered. Xue Yue's original intention of opening up the Longhai Corridor in eastern Henan was basically realized. Forty-two trains and a large amount of supplies that were originally blocked in Shangqiu were successfully withdrawn westward through Kaifeng and Zhengzhou.

can't be without luck It is no longer Tiger Cub's biggest goal to get out of his body, his wish now is to catch Doihara. King Luo let you get out by chance, but the monk can't run away from the temple if you can run away. I will continue to strangle you until your face turns blue and purple. Next, what Xue Yue wanted to cut off was Doihara's lifeline. After capturing Lanfeng and King Luo, Hu Zongnan went straight to the third village controlled by Doiyuan, Quxingji, north of King Luo. Although the designation of Hu Zongnan's army is still the first army, compared with the past, it has changed day by day, and most of them are recruits.Some of these recruits have not completed their training, and some can't even fire a gun. They are essentially farmers who have never seen anything in the world.

For a recruit to become a veteran, the most important part is to develop the courage of a veteran.However, the first army was attacked by the Japanese invading army on the train as soon as it came up, and it was a powerful unit like the Doihara Division, so it lost all courage at once. Many recruits became terrified. When they heard the gunfire, their first reaction was to run around. Officials didn't have to command the battle, and the containment troops were sweating. Hu Zongnan personally went to supervise the formation of the First Army. Seeing this situation, he decided to go to Kaifeng to move reinforcements.

He was discovered by the Japanese invading army on the road and was bombarded by artillery fire. The roar of artillery shells resounded everywhere for a while, and his car had to swing from side to side like a minefield, like a snake. He was so frightened that he shrank his head and turned pale. Hu Zongnan did have the demeanor of a general. He didn't panic, and told the driver: drive faster, and he will be out of danger immediately. Then he looked at the staff around him: calm down, don't let the little soldiers look down on you. The auspicious people have their own nature, and Hu Zongnan returned to Kaifeng unscathed, and the reinforcements he wanted to move were the tank troops sent to the front by the 200th Division.

Don't be afraid, everyone, I have iron guys in front to give you courage. Quxingji was a large stockade with strong walls and a large number of Japanese invaders stationed there. Hu Zongnan really couldn't get in, so he could only encircle and not attack for the time being. Doihara's oxygen pipe is not here, but at the Yellow River Ferry further north of Quxingji, where his supplies are delivered. Hu Zongnan bypassed Qu Xingji, concentrated all his strength, and punched him. The tanks and chariots opened the way, and the infantry followed. The recruits who were afraid to go forward finally came up with courage, rush! The recovery of the Yellow River Ferry completely cut off the connection between Doihara and the north bank, making the Doihara Division truly reduced to a lone army surrounded by Xue Yue's corps. The so-called rush, the most feared thing is losing the rear, especially for mechanized divisions like Doihara. Without gasoline support, tanks and cars can only be reduced to piles of scrap metal. The tragedy can be compared with the Taierzhuang victory. In addition, there are food and ammunition, without them, they are all things that can kill people. Doihara, who had been proud of himself since the launch of the thousand-mile raid, finally fell into a nightmare situation. Although his face was not blue and purple, his breathing was obviously quite short. Lanfeng and Luowangzhai were conquered, and Quxingji was besieged. He could only retreat into the fourth and last village—Sanyiji. Xue Yue handed over the task of conquering Sanyiji to Gui Yongqing, who is now equivalent to wearing a sinful body. Losing Lan Feng, the first thing to investigate was whether Long Muhan had asked his superiors for instructions before retreating, and the conclusion was that he had not, so he was immediately dismissed and investigated.But even so, Gui Yongqing could not escape his leadership responsibility and was asked to wait and deal with it. Gui Yongqing was really unlucky, he fell in Lanfeng, and was later told by Song Xilian, who was a teacher from the same school, that he was worthless. In ancient and modern China and abroad, there has always been a saying that literati look down on each other. However, if you hold up a magnifying glass and observe carefully, those circles outside the literati circle are also roughly the same. Soldiers will also treat each other lightly, and even more lightly.For example, Song Xilian has always "lightened" Gui Yongqing, including Wang Jingjiu and Sun Yuanliang from the "Two Divisions and One Corps". The reason, to put it bluntly, is nothing serious, it is nothing more than the fact that everyone is not much different from seniority to level to record, one rolled out of the bed, there is no such thing as who falls behind, and there are only so many key positions. How many, what else can I do if I don’t grab them? Song Xilian's ability to become an army commander is quite dramatic.This missing child originally belonged to Wang Jingjiu. Chiang Kai-shek wanted to transfer Wang Jingjiu to Luoyang for training, but Wang Jingjiu was upset and refused to go. He didn't go because he didn't think he was a big official, but because he was afraid of being led by others. He will be led by Zhu Shaozhou, the commander of the Luoyang garrison.Zhu Shaozhou used to be the chief of staff of the 87th Division. At that time, Wang Jingjiu was the deputy division commander and his boss. Ranks are very important in the army, and every level has to be explained, and some even have to count the scars on their bodies one by one.From the battle of Songhu to the defense of Nanjing, he escaped death and almost lost his life in the city of Nanjing. Zhu Shaozhou had never fought in the front line, so why did he rush to the front? Wang Jingjiu thought about it, why? Can't get around this bend. There is only one chance, if you don't go, Ren Lao Song Ke will go. On the Lanfeng battlefield, Song Xilian and Gui Yongqing were both army commanders, but Gui Yongqing was the real army commander, while Song Xilian could only command one division, which was almost the same as the division commander. Of course he was unhappy. Gui Yongqing was defeated and lost Lanfeng, and Lao Song felt a little gloating in his stomach. Later, he even believed that the reason why Gui Yongqing was not sentenced to death was entirely the result of Chiang Kai-shek and He Yingqin's protection. In fact, this is what you stand for and say what you say. If Song Xilian was allowed to guard Lan and seal the city at that time and place, the ending would not necessarily be better than Gui Yongqing's. Big. Gui Yongqing was unlucky, but to a certain extent it was beneficial to Song Xilian. The latter deserved his title as army commander. The 88th Division and other troops originally under Gui Yongqing's command were allocated to under his command. Gui Yongqing lost Lan Feng, and Song Xilian was responsible for recovering Lan Feng.In fact, he didn't have any new tactics in the use of tactics. He used bombardment first, and then used infantry to ascend the city. But the wonderful thing is that Lao Song has luck.Originally, there was a Japanese invading army coalition in Lanfeng City, but when it was his turn to attack the city, half of the troops had been transferred out of the city, so there was only one brigade in the city. Even so, Song Xilian attacked for two days, but Lan Feng still failed to attack. So continue to rely on luck. Due to the fact that the Xue Yue Corps was in full swing, none of the four strongholds controlled by the Doihara Division were under attack. Therefore, the strength of the troops was stretched. Under the desperation, Doihara had to order that brigade to withdraw from Lanfeng in order to strengthen Sanyiji and other Dazhai defensive ability. The Japanese invading army retreated, and Song Xilian not only successfully recovered Lanfeng, but also handed over rifles and more than a dozen army horses.Lao Song took one of the horses by himself, and made a fool of himself, naming the new mount "Doihara" in a serious manner. Sometimes fighting depends not only on skills, but also a little bit of luck is absolutely indispensable. In this way, Song Xilian's luck is really amazing. Compared with this, Gui Yongqing's luck is extremely bad.Xue Yue asked him to attack Sanyiji, to put it bluntly, to give you a chance to redeem your crimes, but this "chance" is too difficult. Sanyiji is the headquarters of the Doihara Division and his last shelter. Most of the peripheral troops have gathered here. It is definitely the most difficult bone among the four strongholds. No matter how difficult it is to chew, he has to chew, because he has no other choice. Gui Yongqing carried the punishment order on his back and summoned all the generals of his subordinates to the big account. We must conquer Sanyiji, if we fail to complete the task, the battalion commander and above will be charged with disobedience! The order was very strict, and the officers and soldiers of the original teaching corps and the German weapon division also went all out, and the slogans of "eliminating the 14th division" and "capturing Doihara alive" were earth-shattering. It is also very enjoyable to pay for such a "Doihara" to ride The three armies risked their lives and broke into the corner of the main position of Sanyi for a while, but since then they have never been able to move forward. In the end, even the former enemy commander was seriously injured and was carried down by the soldiers on wooden boards. In this state, not only could he not be "criminalized for disobedience", but he had to be credited. Gui Yongqing gritted his teeth to recover Sanyiji, but the reality is cruel.Since the main force of the Sino-Soviet joint air force must be used to defend Wuhan, since the launch of the Battle of Lanfeng, the air supremacy of the frontline battlefield has been firmly in the hands of the Japanese Army Air Force, and the seven planes that covered Chiang Kai-shek's battle in Zhengzhou were sent to the frontline Reconnaissance, but all were shot down. From Zhengzhou to Kaifeng, from the Ping-Han line to the Longhai line, Japanese planes were flying around.With these crows wearing plaster flags circling and making noise in the sky, no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to organize an effective attack during the day. Looking at the soldiers in the headquarters, both the teaching corps and the German weapon divisions are already scarred, and the strength of the troops is seriously bruised. Gui Yongqing is not a general who talks about wars on paper, the actual situation is there. The so-called trapped beasts are still fighting, even if you do everything you can, it will be difficult to destroy other people's lairs in the short term. We can only continue to encircle and attack like Qu Xingji, and of course we can only attack at night. broken jar broken Doihara lost the ferry of the Yellow River and was trapped in the two villages of Sanyiji and Quxingji. He no longer had the momentum of running thousands of miles when he first appeared on the stage. This guy ran wildly all the way, and was so busy that he kicked the back of the head. When he didn't pay attention, his head was really kicked. In the end, he was reduced from a model possessed by magical powers to a wretch shrunk into a pile. On the other side of the Yellow River, watching the originally excellent lover fall into a desperate situation, Xiangyue's little heart has long been squeezed into pieces. Originally wanted to play with a beautiful hand, but did not expect the ending to be so disastrous, which made the commander of the first army extremely sad and indignant. The sad thing is that I am close at hand, but I can't save him if I want to save him. Originally, Xiangyue still had the 20th Division of Longshan in her hands, but since the Xuzhou battle began, Yan Xishan's second war zone attacked from the west of Shanxi, compressing and besieging the scattered Longshan divisions stationed at various points. The troops in the second theater are not guerrillas, they are also regular troops, with machine guns and cannons.After the Longshan Division was surrounded, they were helpless.Xiangyue begged her grandpa to tell her grandma that she wanted to send troops to the temple for reinforcements, but the latter not only refused to pay a single soldier, but even drew the bottom line and transferred the Doihara Division to the Xuzhou battlefield. In the eyes of the temple, only Xuzhou and military merits still have face. As for Xiangyue's life and death, it is completely out of his consideration. At first, the Longshan Division could rely on planes to get some supplies, but then it rained heavily in the north, and the planes could not come, and these scattered troops were cut off from cooking. Can't help but eat. After the devils ate all the edible things around them, they had to learn from the refugees and eat bark and grass to satisfy their hunger. When Doihara was trapped, the Longshan Division was about to starve to death. How could they gather their energy to go to the other side to rescue this troubled brother? Xiangyue was more angry. For so many days, Doihara was alone in Lanfeng, until he was locked in a cage by Xue Yue. From the beginning to the end, the "North China Front Army" did not make any effort to cooperate, otherwise Xue Yue would not have focused on launching There were two major sieges. At this time, the celebration party in Xuzhou had already ended, and the temple woke up. Although Xuzhou has been invaded, the big oil and water have not been obtained much. Not only that, the Longhai Line has been reopened for the opponent, and the supplies and personnel have been robbed. Right now, even the Doihara Division has almost become one of the opponent's nets. fish. Who would have thought. Unexpectedly, it was because of stupidity, but Temple would never think that he was stupid. Xiangyue, who told you to attack Kaifeng, I want you to attack Shangqiu, but you violated the order, who is to blame. At this juncture, instead of discussing how to fish out Doihara, but first reprimanding herself, Xiangyue couldn't control her emotions anymore, so she simply broke the pot and moved out all the old accounts. The old bottom in Dajie Temple. Before the Battle of Xuzhou, Xiangyue asked Doihara to contact Han Fuju, Shi Yousan, Wan Fulin, Shang Zhen and others secretly, and discussed with everyone "If you don't hit me, I won't hit you". However, they let the temple make a mess and forced them to be traitors. In the end, except for Han Fuju who was driven to a dead end, the others all went to "Liangshan", took up knives and guns and started fighting with the "imperial army". At this stage of the field, the temple began to regret again, and let Doihara continue to "work".But now both sides are jealous, Han Fuju is dead, and most of the other people have been involved in the battle sequence-even Doihara himself has killed so many people from Shang Zhen, you think Shang Zhen will accept him Is it "secretly recruiting"? The more Xiangyue talked, the more excited she became, and she couldn't stop the car anymore. Xuzhou is just an empty city, what's the point of all of you jumping on it?Celebrating success, it feels like eating marinated eggs in instant noodles, thinking that you have won a big prize, but in fact, they have it in every bag of instant noodles, and it is not even a small surprise in life! It is precisely because of desperate efforts and all the strength used on the front line of Xuzhou that the rear of North China is so empty, and the Longshan Division has suffered so much that they have to live by gnawing bark and eating grass. These are the scars that cannot be uncovered, and the most unpleasant language, but the temple has been listening, and there is not even a rebuttal. If there is anything dissatisfied, continue talking. Xiangyue was completely unaware of the drastic change in the atmosphere, he searched his guts, spit it out quickly, and gradually pointed the finger at Si Nei himself. In winter, some front-line troops have not yet put on cotton-padded clothes, but the commander of the "North China Front Army" and his headquarters staff have put on new cotton-padded clothes early, and some even wear high-grade cold-proof clothes. Also, may I ask your Excellency, Commander, how much time did you spend in the rear of Pingjin when commanding operations?Or is it more on the front line where the war is raging? Most of the time in the temple is in Pingjin. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. It is impossible for a dignified army commander to stay in the same trench as a soldier.However, according to Xiangyue's insinuation, this turned out to be one of the reasons why the Japanese invading army made mistakes before and after the Battle of Xuzhou. Xiangyue thought that she was pouring salt on the wounds in the temple, but she didn't know that her words and deeds that day were like being kicked by a donkey. When will the heart of the temple become more generous?The reason why he can hold back his temper and listen is to let you "reveal your true colors" so that you can settle the ledger. I understand everything, so I just want to find the awkwardness in my temple! It seems that your disobedience to restraint is definitely not an unintentional mistake, it is the inevitable result of long-term blindness, and it is absolutely impossible not to cut it. The temple wants to catch Xiangyue's handle, and now it can be easily caught. First, it is not my temple's fault, but your Xiangyue's fault that Shangqiu was not sealed off as ordered, causing so many troops to run out of the Fifth War Zone. Second, the "thousand-mile raid" was recklessly carried out. The raid failed, but it was almost trapped in the Doihara Division. Who was at fault? These two mistakes are enough to convict. On the second day after the Doihara Division was trapped, Kazuki was in trouble and was removed from the post of commander of the First Army. Two months later, the Battle of Lanfeng was over, and Xiangyue was assigned to the reserve force. From then on, she had no fate to fight on the front line. She could only occasionally recall the "prestige" when she commanded the battle in North China when she was sleeping and dreaming. . Kazuki's replacement is Yoshijiro Umezu, Deputy Minister of the Army.Meijinxiang is known for his gentle temperament. Even Chinese diplomats say he is "kind and gentle". Compared with Xiangyue with horns on his head, this is undoubtedly a listless character.As soon as he took office, no one under him dared to point fingers at the temple and make irresponsible remarks.
