"This Li Zhongren!"
When I received Li Zhongren's telegram at Dragon Boat Festival, I finally understood everything. The final fate of the Third Army has been clearly written in history.
But most importantly, what should he do next?
His original plan was to make a time lag and first eliminate the Sakata Regiment and the puppet troops from that brigade, and then deal with the Japanese reinforcements from the Western Front.
In this way, he would have more room for maneuver. He could even tentatively attack the ferry and jump to the west bank of the Yellow River. But now, if Li Zhongren's plan is followed, he will go south to the Japanese Fifth Division of Hard Steel when he is running out of ammunition, and then cross the line of fire to Dongping County to join the 55th Army and the 56th Army. .
And by then, no one knows how many people will die.
He even felt that Li Zhongren was a bastard for forcing such an order.
Duanwu wanted to report Li Zhongren to the chairman of the committee, but after thinking about it carefully, it was useless. Because maybe this is what the chairman meant.
Things are getting more and more difficult. Because if the Dragon Boat Festival does not go to Dongping County to join the 55th Army and the 56th Army, the sacrifices of the 55th Army and the 56th Army will not only be wasted, but the Dragon Boat Festival will also carry the 55th Army and the 56th Army on their backs. The Sixteenth Army suffered heavy losses, but Dragon Boat Festival was infamous for not breaking out as planned.
And when that time comes, the people of the 56th Army and the 55th Army still won’t curse him to death for the Dragon Boat Festival?
And he couldn't directly give orders to the 55th Army and the 56th Army. Because the commander of the fifth theater is Li Zhongren, he cannot overstep his authority, otherwise it would be strange for Li Zhongren not to give up his job. And this crime will still fall on his head.
Of course, it's not that Dragon Boat Festival is afraid of being infamy, but that even after he gets infamy, he still can't change anything.
So Duanwu felt more and more that Chief Li was simply cheating on his father.
"Order the 2nd and 4th Battalions to quickly move closer to me, and then, together with the 3rd and Cavalry Battalions, make a detour from the left and right wings towards Dongping County, and then wait for my orders at any time."
Duanwu gave the order, although he was a little unhappy, but in order to prevent the 55th Army and the 56th Army from suffering too many casualties, he could only choose to go south to the Japanese Hard Steel Fifth Division.
Dragon Boat Festival is going to be angry to death, but there is no way.
The communications troops quickly conveyed the Dragon Boat Festival order, and the second and fourth battalions quickly packed up their weapons and equipment and maneuvered in the direction of Lizhuang.
The wounded and the supply camp also began to move forward with Tang Jiujiu, Lao Abacus and others.
They will not go to the front line, but they must follow the main force and provide ammunition support for the main force at any time.
Lao Abacus went to Tang Jiujiu and said: "Madam, I have gone to the front line, and the regiment cannot do without me. And the baggage depends entirely on you. This baggage unit is very important, and it affects whether we can win this battle. And Those injured brothers. The rule of our supervision team is not to leave any injured brother behind."
Tang Jiujiu said without hesitation: "Old Abacus, go ahead. I am here and I will never let anything happen to the brothers."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Lao Abacus took the order, then found Chen Shusheng and lowered his voice: "My wife's safety, as well as the safety of the supply camp and the wounded all depend on you."
Chen Shusheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, our supply camp of the Supervision Corps is not a vegetarian."
"Farewell!"
Lao Abacus clasped his fists and rode away on his fast horse. Because once there is a war, Tuan Zao will be indispensable by his side.
At the same time, all other ministries also took action. They carried light weapons and maneuvered quickly. The artillery battalion in the second battalion only rushed to the front line with some highly maneuverable mortars, grenade launchers, etc.
The remaining heavy artillery was consigned by the baggage battalion.
So in just a moment, except for the first battalion and the special first battalion, the entire supervision team was moved.
The troops set off in a mighty manner and circled left and right for at least two kilometers to get behind the Japanese army.
Zhou Tianyi, who was conducting reconnaissance with a telescope, discovered this situation while standing on the top of the mountain. He immediately climbed out of the trench and stood above the trench to look through the telescope.
Seeing this, the old cat quickly followed him. He also looked through the binoculars and asked: "What are you doing, leaving the road alone but going into the forest?"
Zhou Tianyi said: "It is very likely that this is a roundabout operation, bringing in the Japanese and puppet troops, and then forming an encirclement, and then surrounding the Japanese and puppet troops to fight."
The old cat asked, "Then what are we doing here?"
Zhou Tianyi said: "We are the most important part of this roundabout operation. We are here pretending to be a blocking force and attracting the little devils to attack us. At this time, the regiment took action and separated the Sakata Alliance and the two The brigade made dumplings.
This is a big move by Tuanzuo, but we have a little less strength. The opponent has an infantry regiment and the strength of two pseudo-legions! "
When Lao Mao heard this, he suddenly realized and shouted quickly: "Brothers, make the fortifications stronger. This time, we are really going to fight a big battle. Listen to me, the trenches must be dug deep, and the bomb shelters must be dug. It has to be strong.”
Zhou Tianyi turned around and smiled, thinking: With these veterans here, there are indeed many things that he does not need to worry about. And he finally understood why Tuanzuo asked him to dig trenches here in advance. Because if trenches are dug now, they will definitely not be able to block the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japs.
·············
At the same time, a mixed brigade of Japanese and puppet troops headed by Sakata Laozi had already set off from Pingyin County and continued its pursuit to the southwest.
Old Japanese Bantian has received the news and is preparing to cross the river at Dragon Boat Festival and jump to the west bank of the Yellow River.
Sitting in the car, which was swaying due to the bumpy mountain road, Sakata smiled contemptuously, because the supervisory team that wiped out one of his infantry brigade had now become a turtle in the jar.
He believed that the Dragon Boat Festival trip itself was a stupid decision. Unsatisfied after attacking Dongping County, he also attacked Feicheng and Pingyin.
If at that time, Duanwu attacked Feicheng and quickly retreated, they would not have time to encircle and suppress the supervision team. But it happened that the Dragon Boat Festival hit Pingyin, giving them enough time.
Of course, the old devil Sakata would never have imagined that Dragon Boat Festival made a wrong judgment because the statistics of the old abacus were delayed by one day.
And Duanwu didn't expect that the bullets of the submachine gun would be consumed so quickly.
When we left Wudaogou, we still had at least 300,000 rounds of submachine gun bullets left. As a result, we hit Feicheng and then Pingyin, and we only had 40,000 rounds left. It was all about those bullets that were used to pile up the enemy. If you think about it carefully, it takes more than a dozen rounds of submachine gun bullets to destroy an enemy.
However, this is indeed very supervisory, and this is what the Dragon Boat Festival once taught. Use bullets to destroy the enemy, no matter whether it is ten bullets or twenty bullets to destroy an enemy, then we will make a profit.
However, this seems to be consumed too quickly. In the case of lack of supplies, it is easy for the enemies to be killed before they are all killed, and instead one's own bullets are gone!
