After the wounded soldiers were cut off, they could not stop the Japanese army for long.
The Japanese army, which had already suffered a heavy blow, immediately gained a wisdom: as long as they saw the wounded soldiers of the national army, they would replenish their guns first, even if they faced the threat of enemy troops who had withdrawn behind the bunker to engage in a decisive battle with them. They couldn't care less.
The threat in front of you is obviously greater than the threat in the bunker!
After all, there are comrades behind them who are shooting and confronting these national soldiers. The key is that they also have grenade launchers, which are enough to face the threats behind the bunker!
…
"Pfft~Pfft!!"
There was a sound of a bullet passing by, and a bullet with a size of thirty-eight hit the earth wall, and a lot of lime fell immediately.
Yang Honglou was leaning against the wall, gasping for air. Just a moment ago, the bullet hit his head! This feeling of being so close between life and death is not something that ordinary people can experience.
Fortunately, Yang Honglou was not frightened by the scene in front of him. He immediately pulled over a soldier next to him and said: "Go and report to the battalion commander. Tell the battalion commander that our troops have withdrawn to fight in the streets. Let him be ready at any time." Prepare!"
"Yes! Company commander!" the soldier responded.
Yang Honglou knew clearly that the order to withdraw into the city to resist was given by himself, and the battalion commander had no idea about it. It was impossible for him not to inform the battalion commander of the situation, otherwise, the entire battalion would be destroyed!
"Boom!!!"
A small grenade shell exploded near Yang Honglou. The aftermath of the explosion made Yang Honglou's ears buzz with a ringing sound.
"Fight!! Keep fighting!!"
There were shouts of killing and gunshots all around, which gave Yang Honglou a very illusory yet very real feeling.
…
Outside the city, the police headquarters was very concerned about the war in Gutang Town.
As soon as the Japanese army invaded the position of the Third Battalion and the First Company, the news reached Zhang Tianhai's ears.
Wearing only a white shirt and military trousers and boots, Zhang Tianhai stood in front of the military map with his hands behind his hands and said: "Order the first and second battalions to enter combat readiness. The cavalry battalion and the special agent company will rush to the aid of Gutang Town after completing their combat missions. The Fourth Battalion is ready to reinforce Gutang Town at any time!"
"Yes! Tuanzuo!!" Everyone responded, because they knew that with Tuanzuo's order, the battle was about to end.
The time at this time is 3:15 pm on July 29, 1938!
…
While the 1st Police Regiment was preparing to carry out the final operation, the fighting throughout northern Jiangxi did not stop. The main force of the Japanese 106th Division was directed at De'an.
The General Headquarters of the Second Corps also started a quarrel over this.
The location of the quarrel was at the General Staff Headquarters of the Second Corps. The object of the quarrel was these school-level officers and staff officers, and the incident of the quarrel also revolved around the trends on the battlefield.
Chief of Staff Chen Baocang sat firmly in the middle, listening carefully to the focus of the argument between the two sides.
"Commander Gao, I believe that the Japanese Army's Matsuura Division is now fighting south, and nearly a division of the 1st Theater Guard Regiment and the 48th Brigade are cutting off the Japanese Army's retreat in the direction of Jiujiang. This is the time to completely annihilate the Japanese Army. How could the Matsuura Division miss this good opportunity?" A lieutenant colonel officer with two stripes and two stars on his collar argued with Staff Officer Gao opposite him, who also had the rank of lieutenant colonel, with a red face.
"Commander Li, this is inappropriate. The Eleventh Division is now in the direction of De'an, but the time for us to completely annihilate the Songpu Division has not yet arrived. Because the main force of the Japanese Eleventh Army is still in Hukou Town To the east, the mission of our Second Corps is to hold the main force of the Japanese army east of Hukou Town. If their troops come over and form a line with the Matsuura Division, then our situation will be very dangerous! !" Staff Officer Gao retorted to Staff Officer Li on the opposite side.
Chen Baocang just sat quietly at the main table in the conference room, watching the two groups divided by senior staff officer Li and senior staff officers arguing. He rested his chin on his hands and listened to the opinions of these two groups.
It's not that Chen Baocang has no skills, or that he simply can't suppress this argument with his courage, but he wants to hear something - with the main force of the Japanese Matsuura Division moving south, it is impossible for the national government to have no ideas, Besides, this is a fighter plane!
The times are constantly changing and developing, and the battlefield is the same. It changes rapidly. It just depends on who can seize the winning point.
Because of this, while listening to the debate between the two groups of staff under him, Chen Baocang was also thinking about how to weigh this point.
The General Staff Department seems to have the status of a military auxiliary officer, and many decisions still come from their hands.
Just like the departments that do the 14th Five-Year Plan, they may not be very visible at ordinary times, and they are also responsible to the leaders, but there are many things that are the leaders' wishes, and they make general plans based on the leaders' wishes or instructions.
From a certain level, the difference between the two is not too big.
At this moment, the scene suddenly became quiet, and all the staff officers stopped arguing in unison, and instead stood at attention and saluted towards the door: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief!"
Hearing this, could Chen Baocang not know what was going on?
In the Second Corps, besides Zhang Fakui, who else has a commander-in-chief?
"How's it going? What's the specific situation? A very lively discussion was just heard outside the door. It was all about the progress of our Second Corps." This was Zhang Fakui's first sentence after entering the door. , with a friendly smile on his face, not his usual seriousness.
The staff department is also the place that Zhang Fakui and Commander Zhang attach most importance to.
Having reached the level of the corps, they can no longer control the battles of many grassroots units. What they can do is to command the troops to engage in decisive battles with large Japanese troops, how to reasonably arrange these troops to fight, and which What should be done if the troops disobey orders?
Obviously, the Staff Headquarters is responsible for most of the responsibilities. It is precisely because of this that Commander-in-Chief Zhang is also a frequent visitor to the Staff Headquarters, and even his headquarters is set up in the Staff Headquarters.
"The boss is joking. Now is the time when the brothers are discussing how to correctly face the current emergency situation. You came at the right time. We also want to hear your opinions." It was the chief of staff of the Corps who spoke. Chen Baocang.
"Brother Zi Zhen (Chen Baocang's cousin), it seems that you already have an idea in mind." Zhang Fakui pointed at Chen Baocang gently, with a smile still on his face. It was obvious that there was something that put him in a good mood.
"Then let me just say this briefly! Boss, please take a seat." With that, Chen Baocang pulled out a chair next to him and motioned to Commander-in-Chief Zhang to sit down.
Zhang Fakui was not polite and sat down directly. He was waiting for Chen Baocang's report.
"Commander-in-Chief, you know the current situation better than anyone. As for the two opinions in the staff, one is that the time has come to annihilate the Matsuura Division, and the other is that the time has not come to annihilate the Matsuura Division. I personally If so, I would rather wait and see." Chen Baocang unexpectedly put forward a third opinion and idea.
