However, Zhang Tianhai's worries were unnecessary, because Shen Fazao's 87th Division, under the strict orders of Song Xilian, commander of the 71st Army, was already moving towards Yang Guji at full speed.
The reason is that before launching the attack, Zhang Tianhai had already ordered the communications staff to send an emergency telegram to the 71st Army Headquarters, saying that they were already at war with the Japanese troops and were already attacking the Japanese troops. The artillery position!
Time goes back twenty minutes.
Location: Neihuangji, 71st Army Headquarters.
As before, the headquarters of the 71st Army is still at that location. Because relocating the headquarters is troublesome and time-consuming, relocation is generally not carried out unless there is no danger.
At this time, Song Xilian had just finished handling the matters at hand. He thought he could rest easily for a while, but unexpectedly, the telegram came.
"Report to the military! Urgent call from the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone!" A combat staff officer ran to Song Xilian's side and reported.
"What? The first regiment directly under the Third War Zone again? Read it quickly! I want to see what kind of trouble this Zhang Yulin caused again." Song Xilian said with disgust on his face. In fact, he was not disgusted at all. Zhang Tianhai is such a person, but he despises Zhang Tianhai for doing this to him when he finally has some leisure time.
"Reporting to the military, according to a call from the Third War Zone, the main force of their regiment has touched the Japanese artillery position and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese artillery position. Now they have been surrounded by the superior Japanese army and are already in a bitter battle. , the location is two kilometers east of the Twin Towers! Zhang Tianhai, commander of the first regiment directly under the third theater, called for help!" the combat staff read directly.
"The third theater has touched the enemy's artillery position? And is it in a bitter battle? This is definitely a good time! This Zhang Yulin did a great job!" Song Xilian clapped his hands and said, "Immediately order Shen Fazao's eighth The 17th Division immediately marched towards the Twin Towers, and must rescue the headquarters of the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone! Also, call Gui Yongqing and ask their troops to go to the Twin Towers immediately in order to annihilate the Japanese troops in one fell swoop. !”
"Yes! Military seat!" The combat staff officer responded.
"By the way, we also called Yu Jishi's 74th Army and asked them to march towards the Twin Towers just like us! As long as our three armies work together to attack it, the Japanese troops will lose several layers of skin even if they are not dead! "Song Xilian said with excitement.
Because theoretically speaking, as long as everyone cooperates well and attacks the Japanese army with four times the enemy's strength, the chance of winning is quite high - it is not certain that a victory will be achieved!
However, can things really go as people wish? Not quite.
The camera then turned to Gui Yongqing.
At this time, the 27th Army was on the way to retreat. After all, it was a complete organic division. The journey was so majestic and spectacular, with many military vehicles carrying people away.
The smoke and dust rolled up by the military truck were particularly obvious even under the weak firelight in the dark night.
"Report to the military! Lieutenant General Song Xilian, commander of the 71st Army, urgent call!" A messenger stopped Gui Yongqing's car.
"What's going on? Don't you know this is a vehicle for military seats and deputy military seats?" The driver rolled down the window and cursed.
The messenger ignored the driver and walked straight to where Gui Yongqing was - the back seat of the passenger seat.
After being taken to this position, the Ming Dynasty messenger stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the military seat, Song Xilian, commander of the 71st Army, is sending an urgent message!"
The sound insulation of the car at this time was not as good as that of later generations. Gui Yongqing, who was in the car, suddenly heard the report of the messenger.
Gui Yongqing rolled down the window, took the message, and then used a flashlight to read it in the car.
After reading the message, Gui Yongqing smiled deeply at the deputy commander Li Shushen next to him and said: "This is Song Xilian's request for our 27th Army to cooperate with them in fighting..."
Li Shushen also smiled at this and asked, "What if it's your wish, Brother Frank?"
"Brother Chaohuang, you are good at everything, but the city is too deep. Can't you still trust me?" Gui Yongqing said with a meaningful smile.
Li Shusen laughed and said: "Haha, brother Frank, you are really good at joking. I, Li Chaohuan, dare not say anything, but I only care about you, and I never have any other ideas. You Now that things have been decided, if you point east, I will definitely not point west."
After hearing these words from Li Shushen, a satisfied smile appeared on Gui Yongqing's face: "Brother Chaohuang is the one who understands me the most..."
After saying this, Gui Yongqing changed the subject and said with a sneer: "This Song Yinguo is still a little bit off. How many days have you been the commander of the 71st Army? He started asking me for this. The commander of the Route Army obeyed his order. Hum, when I took office as the commander of the 27th Army, Song Xilian was still the commander of the Honorary First Division in Hunan. Although they were at the same time, he didn't think he was a What kind of stuff."
After hearing Gui Yongqing's words, Li Shushen didn't say anything on the surface, but his heart trembled slightly: Fortunately, I didn't say the wrong thing just now, otherwise it would be very sad to be resented by this person.
By now, since Li Shushen had figured out Gui Yongqing's temper, he naturally followed Gui Yongqing's words: "What do you mean, do we need to find another way?"
"Why find another way? This is simply a trap. With the Japanese army's ability to capture a heavily guarded village of mine in less than half an hour, how can it be so easily surrounded? Besides, our 27th Army only has the 27th Army on hand now. The Forty-fifth Division is an army. If even this army is wiped out, we will still be nothing more than army commanders. By then, any army commander or deputy army commander will be fake!" Gui said. Yongqing clenched his fists. As for the Eighth Division, he had already given up.
For him, as long as the 45th Division of the 27th Army is still there, the 27th Army will still be there - when the time comes, he will recruit more people, and the expansion will be a matter of minutes, right? These two units, the 24th Division and the 45th Division, are the old foundation of the teaching corps that originally broke out from Nanjing!
Since it is the old foundation of the teaching corps, it is also the old foundation of Gui Yongqing. As long as either of these two divisions is still there, Gui Yongqing can still turn over!
If these two divisions are gone, then Gui Yongqing will have to start building up his foundation again. This is not an easy task. The 24th Division accepted the command of Huang Jie on the front line of Dangshan to resist the advance of the Japanese invaders. , according to the intensity of the fighting there, the 24th Division is probably in a dilemma of being crippled but unable to make up for it.
Therefore, the only one Gui Yongqing can rely on now is the 45th Division. This is his last guarantee!
"Brother Frank, are we going to retreat now?" Li Shushen asked tentatively.
"Withdraw, why don't you withdraw? If you don't withdraw, none of us will be able to escape!" Gui Yongqing said in a deep voice.
