In less than a day, there are already few fireworks in the city.
The middle-aged man stood on the tower and looked at the empty alleys one after another, feeling uncomfortable.
Datong is in danger.
I remember how high-spirited I was when I took over Datong. One hundred thousand troops entered the city, and hundreds of miles were covered by their subordinates.
now...
The more he thought about it, the middle-aged man sighed.
At this moment, a messenger suddenly ran up to the city gate in a hurry.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
"According to reports from the forward reconnaissance troops, the 350,000 Kwantung Army has occupied Datong for less than 30 miles!"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a bomb exploded in his heart.
"What!"
"So fast."
"Quickly, pass on my military order. Immediately order all participating troops to prepare for all battles. Also, open the south gate." The middle-aged man shouted anxiously.
"yes!"
When the communications soldier was about to leave, he suddenly stopped him again.
"Wait, you just said... thirty-five troops?"
"Are there still fifty thousand behind?"
"Could it be that we sent an army of 50,000 to capture our Datong force?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were bloodshot, and he hated these little devils just thinking about it!
The communications soldier was stunned, "Don't you know, Commander Lin and his men... wiped out 50,000 of them at once."
"The news has just reached us. Maybe you haven't had time to read the battle report yet."
The middle-aged man frowned and trembled, "What did you say!"
"Lin Zhong..."
Without saying any more, the excited middle-aged man trotted directly to the command room, picked up the pile of battle reports on the table, and began to read through them.
Finally, I found the battle report that the communications soldier had just mentioned.
According to the telegram, Lin Zhong led his troops to plant ten tons of explosives in the Xiong'er Mountain area, which was defeated by the enemy... It is roughly estimated that the enemy was killed by no less than 50,000 people. Our army had the first great victory in the battle against the Kwantung Army!
As he watched, the middle-aged man's hands were shaking with excitement. One hundred thousand tons of explosives were blowing up the mountain...
"Lin Zhong, this is truly a shocking act!"
With a bang, the middle-aged man slapped the table. After sitting on the chair for a long time, his whole body suddenly became depressed again.
There are only a few divisions in the city now, and even with this small number of troops, it is estimated that they may not be able to kill the 50,000 Kwantung Army.
Think about Lin Zhong again, he killed 50,000 enemies without spending a single soldier...
"Is it really a good thing to let Lin go that day..."
Without thinking too much, he walked towards the tower again to personally deploy the troops of various ministries.
In a battle to defend the city, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the troops. Even if we lose, the enemy will vomit blood for miles before we can show the spirit of our Chinese army!
...
Early the next morning, a ray of sun appeared...
Tens of thousands of troops gathered at the foot of Heiyun Mountain. Tens of thousands of people blocked the gate of Heiyun Mountain for a while. There were soldiers inside and outside the valley!
Among them are the New 1st Division, the 177th Division, the 358th Brigade, and the 166th Division. Four divisions are gathered together.
In front of the troops, all the chief officers stood at the front, with Lin Zhongzhan at the center!
Lin Zhong looked around and saw soldiers all over the mountain, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Report to Commander, the new 1st Division has assembled!"
"Report to Commander, the 177th Division has assembled!"
"The 358th Brigade has been assembled and handed over to Commander Lin to take command!"
"The 166th Division has been assembled and handed over to Commander Lin to take command!"
Zhang Dabiao, Master Hou, Chu Yunfei, and Lei Wanjun stepped forward and shouted. The four of them saluted uprightly. Even Lei Wanjun, who had always been at odds with Lin Zhong, was willing to obey the command at this time.
Zhou Weiguo stepped forward and counted the four armies.
"Commander, this is the statistics sheet, a total of 65,000 people!"
Lin Zhong was shocked. Although he had roughly calculated these people, he was still a little surprised after the actual statistics.
"Okay! With 65,000 soldiers and horses, Taiyuan may not be impossible to fight!" Lin Zhong raised his head and faced the army.
"Sixty-five thousand people! This is comparable to two columns, Brother Lin!" Chu Yunfei said in surprise, gritting his teeth.
"Sixty-five thousand people..." Lei Wanjun murmured to the side. He seemed to have only brought seven or eight thousand people... How could he gather so many people!
Lei Wanjun did a rough calculation and found out that Chu Yunfei had 10,000 men aside from his own, which meant that Lin Zhong and the 177th Division combined had nearly 50,000 men!
Outrageous!
"If I have an army of 60,000, march across the northwest of Shanxi!" Lei Wanjun secretly thought, of course, this is impossible. He spent countless gold to save his small life, and he can give it to a no-name division commander. Already very good.
Lin Zhong and several division commanders sat on a military truck to inspect the three armies. Soldiers saluted wherever they passed.
Many soldiers of the Jinsui Army wondered why they were with the Eighth Route Army, and why their commander was with Lin Zhong, and why he stood in the rear as if he was his commander.
"Brothers, I, Lin Zhong, will temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan during the war, and will temporarily lead the army to march out of Taiyuan!"
"Our two armies join forces to kill the enemy and annihilate Taiyuan!"
As soon as the words fell, the three armies were shocked!
Get going!
............
With 60,000 soldiers, Lin Zhong mobilized all the military trucks owned by the four division commanders and borrowed some from the headquarters. This will be able to be used in rotation by 60,000 soldiers.
Standing on the top of the hill, the invisible military trucks pulled up a long convoy and rushed to Taiyuan. This was the first time since Lin Zhong's death that he had commanded such a large-scale battle.
Lin Zhong stood on the top of the mountain. If he said he was not excited, he would be lying. He was even more excited than the first sneak attack on Taiyuan. This time it was a real frontal confrontation!
If we win this battle, if we defend Taiyuan, we will have a chance of fighting the Kwantung Army.
"This battle can be won but not defeated!" Lin Zhong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
...
At the Daya Bay headquarters, Lin Zhong frowned as he looked at the long list of supplies that Lin Zhong borrowed from the headquarters.
Borrowed supplies: 100 military trucks, 30,000 kilograms of grain, 3,000 war horses, and 100 boxes of grenades.
All of a sudden, all the people from the logistics department came up to block the door.
"It's impossible to survive!"
"There's no way we can get through it. You can't just ignore it. That guy Lin Zhong will just grab it!"
"There is no more royal law..."
............
The two heads of the Logistics Department and the two heads of the Food Department clamored to see the superiors.
Just half a day ago, the monk brought people to collect the food, and he also produced the receipts from the headquarters. The receipts were true, but the monk did not follow what was on the list at all.
The Ministry of Food was supposed to be able to take only 5,000 kilograms of grain. The monk directly led the troops and took 30,000 kilograms. He could only take 20 boxes of grenades, but the monk said he would bring him a Japanese girl back later and robbed him of 100 kilograms. box!
He was a little irritated by the chattering outside...
"Damn, that boy Lin Zhong!" He looked a little ugly for a moment.
After several ministers came in, they scolded Lin Zhong again, and one by one they wanted to kill Lin Zhong.
"Robbing supplies, what does Lin Zhong want to do? Isn't he just a bandit!"
"If we don't stop this trend from now on, our department will really be unable to do anything!" the head of the logistics department yelled.
A staff officer faced the boss and said in a deep voice: "Lin Zhong would never do such a thing. It's probably because he took so many supplies without even having time to report it. It's probably because of an emergency."
The two looked at each other...
The so-called urgent matter goes without saying...
He nodded, "Well, it seems that guy is on his way!"
