Chapter 34 Chapter Seven "Operation Tarzan" (2)

He Yingqin was carrying a black briefcase, and the urgent telegram he brought indicated that a train station east of Kaifeng had been attacked by the enemy, causing the Longhai Railway to be temporarily suspended.The chairman's eyebrows twitched a few times, and he saw on the map that the small station that had fallen to the enemy was like a bone spur, just stuck in the throat of the east of Henan.He asked He Yingqin: Have you found out the size of the enemy? He A: There is no information for the time being, but it is estimated that the scale of this long-distance sneak attack enemy will not be too large.I have ordered the first war zone to recover the train station immediately and reopen to traffic within 24 hours.

Chiang Kai-shek was relieved, and he immediately instructed: All along the Longhai Railway must strengthen vigilance to prevent the enemy from attacking again.At the same time, all main forces are strictly ordered to arrive at the theater quickly, and form a momentum to encircle the enemy as soon as possible, so as to prevent Doihara from jumping over the wall in a hurry. The chief of staff obeyed. When the calm chairman reappeared in front of the foreign guests, people stopped arguing and cast inquiring glances at the host.Chiang Kai-shek said to the guests with a smile on his face: Dear gentlemen, I want to tell you some good news. Our army has surrounded a main force of the enemy on the northern battlefield and is annihilating it... I also want to tell you that you all He is an air hero admired by me and the people of our country. I believe that the difference you just argued is that the position of the enemy plane is different.Tonight I want to officially announce a decision. The government of the Republic of China has decided to award all of you present a Blue Sky and White Sun Baoding Medal in recognition of your outstanding contributions to the Chinese War of Resistance!

The next day, newspapers across the country published the news that Generalissimo Chiang had awarded honors to the Soviet Volunteer Team for Aid to China and American pilots in a prominent position. 3 The military column carrying the "No. 1 Division in the World" stopped just as it drove out of Kaifeng, and news of the attack on Luowangzhai Railway Station came from ahead. Division Commander Long Muhan was very surprised by the sudden incident, because the military column passed through Zhengzhou just a few hours ago. He also went to visit Commander-in-Chief Cheng Qian of the First War Zone with Commander Song Xilian, and learned that the enemy in the Minquan direction had been repulsed. The war is developing in a direction that is beneficial to our army. How could there be an enemy situation outside Kaifeng City?After a short thought, he sent a small troop to test it out. After exchanging fire, he heard that the opponent's firepower was not very dense, and there was no heavy weapon to fight back. It can be concluded that the enemy is just a small long-distance assault troop.He immediately asked the army commander for instructions by phone, suggesting that while the enemy's foothold was not stable, he immediately launched an attack to recover Luowangzhai Railway Station.

Master Long's suggestion was approved. Accompanying the division headquarters was the 262nd Brigade, the main force. The brigade had just undergone rest and replenishment, and each company added a new machine gun platoon, equipped with German light and heavy machine guns and mortars.The fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers is high and the ammunition is sufficient, not to mention that it is more than enough to deal with a sneak attack force of the enemy with thousands of horses.At the command of Master Long, the tide-like army immediately dismounted and assembled, advancing along the railway in a murderous spirit, and soon surrounded the railway station.

From the beginning of the battle, there was a huge disparity between the enemy and the enemy. Although the enemy fought desperately, it was difficult to resist the powerful attack of the "No. 1 Division in the World".Our army quickly broke through the enemy's outer positions, and the officers and soldiers were as powerful as a rainbow, and they were about to rush into the station to wipe out the stubborn enemy. At this time, a call was made to the headquarters. At this time, the gunfire on the battlefield was intense, and the voice of the other party came through a temporary military telephone line, buzzing like a mosquito.The other party said vaguely: "Long Muhan, don't fight anymore, there is a situation with Lan Feng, you should go to reinforce immediately."

Master Long didn't understand for a while, and he anxiously argued: The battle is expected to end in victory in one or two hours, how can you say that if you don't fight, you won't fight? The Zhejiang accent in the earphones immediately became thinner, and the other party said angrily: Do you still listen to me... Long Muhan, you are the person I trust the most, don't let me down. Hang up the phone with a "click". Long Muhan's back immediately burst into cold sweat.Only then did he realize that the other party turned out to be his principal, Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander of the army.Chiang Kai-shek often made phone calls to the front to directly command the troops. This is one example.Long Muhan felt very regretful, why didn't he hear the principal's voice at first?

The only way to correct a mistake is to execute an order. The officers and soldiers who were attacking suddenly heard the sound of the trumpet for emergency retreat, and they all stopped and looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.But the continuous sound of the trumpet still firmly conveyed to them the undeniable will from the superior.The military order fell like a mountain, and the 262nd Brigade had to give up its victory, and then bypassed the Luowangzhai Railway Station and drove into Lanfeng County overnight.
