"Yes, military seat. According to the urgent battle report from the front, about one division of the Japanese army is marching westward from Lu'an." The combat staff reported truthfully.
"A division... marching from the direction of Lu'an..." As he said that, Song Xilian stood up from his chair and strode to the map.
After carefully examining it, Song Xilian asked, "Have you reported this news to Commander-in-Chief Sun?"
"Reporting to the military position, we have not yet reported to Commander-in-Chief Sun of the Group Army!" said the combat staff officer.
Yes, the 71st Army is now under the command of Sun Lianzhong of the Second Group Army. Anyway, the area in the east of Henan is basically dominated by the troops commanded by Sun Lianzhong Group Army.
"Report the situation to the group army headquarters immediately! In addition, order the troops to be ready to depart at any time, and tell these division commanders that they must move quickly!" This was Song Xilian's immediate decision.
Indeed, this is the most correct decision.
Soon, Sun Lianzhong received this latest report from the front line.
Sun Lianzhong was by no means an idiot. After receiving the news, he immediately made a decision: "Order the 71st Army to immediately go to Yejiaji and Shihe areas to deploy defenses! Let Tian Zhennan's No. 1 The Thirty Army takes over the defense of the mall!"
"Yes! Sir!" the staff officer who came to report responded.
…
So, just like that, the 71st Army was ordered to go to the Shihe area and Yejiaji area to deploy defenses.
Everything is so natural, everything is so peaceful and smooth.
…
Ever since the 71st Army stationed itself in Yejiaji, this place has become a military camp.
After arriving here, Army Commander Song Xilian immediately led his four division commanders to the front line to inspect the defensive positions.
But just as Song Xilian led the division commanders to continue to observe, they discovered something-Fujin Mountain is like a fan shape, very close to Yejiaji, and on the south side of the highway. It is condescending and an excellent defense. Important land.
After seeing this place, Song Xilian was very moved and wanted to place the main force of the army here to resist the Japanese advance.
But Song Xilian was not one of those reckless and impulsive people. He looked at Chen Ruihe, who had taken his place as the commander of the 36th Division, and then said: "Commander Chen, do you think this is suitable as a main position to resist the Japanese advance?"
Chen Ruihe nodded and said: "The military commander already has the answer in his heart, there is no need to test Rongguang (Chen Ruihe's pseudonym) anymore."
"In my opinion, this is indeed a good place, but we have to arrange our troops to block the attack. Otherwise, no matter how good the terrain is, it will be useless." Song Xilian said seriously.
"Military, I have a merciless request for my humble duty. The troops of my Thirty-sixth Division are the only remaining ace troops in the German Arms Division, and they are also the old troops led by Jun. Why don't we let our Thirty-sixth Division The Sixth Division will defend the main position! We guarantee that we can defend the position!" Chen Ruihe assured that the military commander was absolutely clear about the combat effectiveness of the 36th Division.
"Okay, that's it! I want to see what will happen after I hand the 36th Division into your hands. But no matter what, you must hold this main position, otherwise, I Mr. Song's military law is also very strict." Song Xilian took his time and knocked on Chen Ruihe while confirming the defense request.
In fact, Song Xilian's move can be said to be very clever, because he said it in front of all the division commanders. It was obviously to beat Chen Ruihe, but in fact he was warning all division commanders that they must complete the task, otherwise they will be dealt with according to military law.
Sure enough, the four division commanders present said in unison: "Absolutely obey the military command and ensure the completion of the mission!"
After hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Song Xilian's face, and he said: "In this way, I will issue a combat mission now. You must remember what your mission is and what you want to do! You must complete the mission!"
"Yes! Military seat!"
After answering, the adjutants beside each division commander took out the notebooks they carried with them and prepared to record them in detail.
"First of all, let's talk about the combat mission of Fujin Mountain! It is garrisoned by two divisions. The 36th Division is responsible for the left defense line, and the 88th Division is responsible for the right defense line. Then, the 114th Division is the military headquarters General reserve team." Song Xilian was a veteran in the military and was a leader in the first phase of Huangpu, so the decision he made was naturally very reasonable and quick.
"What about our division? Military seat?" Zhong Song, commander of the 61st Division, asked.
"Commander Zhong, the mission of the 61st Division is different from that of other troops. Your division is responsible for driving to Gushi, occupying the position, and then trying its best to block the enemy's westward advance and buy time for other troops to deploy. Your division's mission is the most important It is also the first unit of our 71st Army to engage in firefights with the Japanese army. Your task is very heavy." Song Xilian said solemnly. Perhaps because he felt that he had not finished speaking, he added: "If you encounter a powerful force, The pressure can be gradually transferred and moved closer to the mall area."
"Yes, Military Seat. I can definitely complete my mission!" Zhong Song assured, "By the way, Military Seat, there is one more thing I don't know about my humble position. What do you mean by strong pressure?"
"You know this thing better than I do. You have to decide what to do. If you give up your position without encountering strong pressure, Long Muhan will suffer the same fate." Song Xilian said in a serious tone and warned. Full of meaning.
Who is Long Muhan? The people present knew this best. Most of them had participated in the Battle of Lanfeng.
Even the dignified disciples of the Emperor, Long Muhan of Huangpu Phase I, couldn't even save Xiang Shang's head, let alone them.
Of course, don't question the determination of the people above to fight the war. After all, there is Xue Weiying who is also a living example.
"My military command post will be set up on the top of the mountain! If there is any situation, report it at any time. Our army must fulfill its duties and do its best to defend Wuhan. Our country cannot be destroyed!" When Song Xilian said this , it can be said to be loud and firm.
"Yes! Military seat!" Everyone responded, and they were full of momentum.
At the foot of Fujin Mountain, preparations for war have been made!
…
The camera turned and returned to Lushan Mountain.
After a long period of mobile warfare, both the officers and soldiers of the Special Agent Company and the Xu Feilong Department of the Independent Brigade were basically accustomed to the existence of mobile warfare.
But in the same mobile warfare, the difference between the troops was infinitely magnified - for example, the number of officers and soldiers in the secret service company with minor and serious injuries was less than ten, while the independent brigade had a reduction of about 200 people.
This result made Xu Feilong feel heartbroken, but good things always come with bad things. For example, the equipment of Xu Feilong's two hundred or so men has become quite good. Basically, they are fully loaded with light and heavy machine guns, melon grenades, 38 caps, and bullets.
The guy in his hand has gotten better, the combat effectiveness of the army has also increased, and Xu Feilong's mood has obviously improved a lot. Of course, it is related to the fact that the special agent company trained them in guerrilla warfare before.
As for the results of the battle, it goes without saying that the secret agent company basically crushed the independent brigade with a complete victory.
Why it is called crushing is because there is a special thing about the special agent companies in battle. They always take out the prominent part of the Japanese army in a surprise attack. Basically, they use the force of a lion to fight a rabbit to kill a small group of the Japanese army. They do not even touch the squadron or above.
And what about Xu Feilong’s independent brigade? Due to the weak combat effectiveness of the troops and insufficient combat execution, some accidents always occurred when digging holes for the Japanese army, which led to increased casualties.
Fortunately, Xu Feilong's independent brigade continued to grow in the battle with the Japanese troops, so the casualties were also decreasing. Otherwise, most of Xu Feilong's people would probably have to be left here.
"How's it going, Captain Xu? It looks like the harvest has been good. The troops are strong and the horses are strong. It looks like we can continue to expand our troops soon." Liu Houming had a smile on his face. Now he is a veritable spokesperson for the regiment.
As for Adjutant Xu Xun, cough cough cough... it can only be said that he still needs to continue to work hard and improve. He still has too many things that he has not experienced - he is young after all.
"Sir Liu, you are joking. The Independence Brigade cannot be what it is today without your contribution. If you say this, you will bring shame on me, Xu Feilong. I am not worthy of it..." Xu Feilong had a look on his face. smile.
