Chapter 38 High-level confrontation

The Lion Forest Fort fell, and Wusongkou became a desperate place. No matter how many... reinforcements are sent at this time, it will be in vain.

"Because of the fall of the Shizilin Fortress, Wusongkou is the top priority. Once Wusongkou falls into the hands of the Japanese army, they can take the opportunity to cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway. At that time, our military supplies cannot be transported to the Pudong front line. The left-wing group and the right-wing The group's 40-strong army will be in a situation where it will run out of ammunition and food. Is it true that General Zhang Wenbai wants to sit back and watch the 40-strong army regardless of life or death?"

He Yingqin said in a strange way.

"Minister He's words are justified. Compared with the frontline soldiers in Pudong, even if all the more than 3 people in Wusongkou were killed in battle, they were well deserved. At least... it proves that they are fighting bravely against the Japanese invaders. Those who died, the people will remember their meritorious deeds."

Feng Yuxiang said.

Zhang Wenbai was annoyed by the attitude of the high-ranking figures of the National Army.

He Yingqin and Feng Yuxiang clearly had a feud with Liang Xiao, so they wanted to take this opportunity to put him to death, which made people feel chilling.

Liang Xiao fought bloody battles at Wusongkou, but they stabbed knives in the back, acting like villains.

"The commissioner, I think that another elite army should be sent to replace Liang Xiao to guard Wusongkou, and Liang Xiao's troops should be transferred back to Hangzhou to rest for a few days. During this time, they fought too hard at Wusongkou, so they should also be allowed to rest for a few days. It's day."

General Zhang Wenbai said.

"The so-called hard work is for those who are capable. Since Liang Xiao can fight, let him fight to the death with the Japanese army at Wusongkou. The Military Commission of the Nationalist Government fully supports him in the decisive battle with the Japanese army. If he wants a gun, we will give it to him. In a word, as long as he keeps Wusongkou, I, Feng Yuxiang, will support him to the end even if...

Feng Yuxiang said.

"Vice Chairman Feng, may I ask how much money you can raise by selling pots and iron, and how many... bullets you can donate to the more than 3 National Army in Wusongkou?"

Zhang Wenbai asked.

"Wen Bai, what you said is a little angry. Feng is just a metaphor. As long as Liang Xiao guards Wusongkou, I will give him whatever he wants."

Feng Yuxiang said.

"Then what do you have"

Zhang Wenbai's words are not polite. Feng Yuxiang has been like a bereaved dog since his defeat in the Central Plains War. His subordinates of the Northwest Army also have their own branches. He can get the position of vice chairman of the Military and Political Council, and the National Government is looking at him On the exploits of sending troops to support the Northern Expedition.

"Your words are a little too much. Mr. Feng's strength is still weak, but the combined strength of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians across the country is enough to support Liang Feiyu to fight an epic battle at Wusongkou."

Feng Yuxiang said.

"Although Wusongkou is an important military town, there is no danger to defend it. If you let him fight the Japanese at Wusongkou, what is the difference from murdering him?"

Zhang Wenbai roared angrily.

"Wen Bai, I've said it before. We all know that Liang Feiyu is your student and a trusted Whampoa general. His performance in the War of Resistance is obvious to all. The importance of Songkou is self-evident. It is related to For the safety of Shanghai and even Nanjing, we are willing to hand over such an important place to him. The government's trust in him is what Vice Chairman Feng said just now. As long as Liang Feiyu guards Wusongkou, our army will do our best satisfy him."

He Yingqin said.

"you......."

Zhang Wenbai can be regarded as the shameless of He Yingqin and Feng Yuxiang.

"Stop arguing."

The committee member said in a deep voice: "Liang Feiyu sent a telegram requesting to lead his troops back to Hangzhou to rest. His troops were bombarded by the Japanese for two full days, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. It can withstand the joint attack of the Japanese army, land, sea and air.”

"I allow him to go back to Hangzhou to rest. Let's discuss it. After Liang Feiyu's troops withdraw from Wusongkou, he will send people to guard Wusongkou so that Wusongkou will not be lost."

Once the commissioner speaks, the matter basically sets the tone.

"Hu Zongnan."

He Yingqin said: "He lost Baoshan, and he cannot be blamed. Considering the achievements of the First Army, he was not punished. The situation in Wusongkou is tense this time. As the No. 1 Huangpu general, he should make a contribution for all Huangpu generals." example."

"The words of respect are justified. The so-called shame and courage, Hu Zongnan lost Baoshan, this time he will never lose Wusongkou again."

Feng Yuxiang seconded.

The committee member frowned. To be honest, he didn't want Liang Xiao to guard Wusongkou, nor Hu Zongnan to guard Wusongkou. These two were his capable disciples of Huangpu. Right now, Wusongkou was in danger. Besides, the First Army is his direct army, if it is damaged at the Wusongkou position, it will be a big blow to him.

"The Seventh Army has been doing these days: rest, why not let the Seventh Army guard Wusongkou, with the assistance of the 49th Division of the Central Army and the 75th Division of the Northeast Army, what do you think?"

The commissioner said in a low voice.

"no."

Bai Chongxi objected: "The Seventh Army has been fighting against Devil No. 4 for a whole week, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties. It's not fair to let them go to Wusongkou after less than three days' rest."

"The Seventh Army is known as steel. The morale of the troops is high. A decisive battle with the Japanese invaders will surely win the battle."

The commissioner laughed.

Bai Chongxi couldn't see it, this was the chairman's way to eliminate dissidents through the War of Resistance. There were the Sichuan Army, the Guangdong Army, the Northeast Army, and the Hunan Army before. Now it's their turn for the Gui faction.

The Seventh Army is the trump card army of the Guangxi faction. They have fought hard enough on the Songhu battlefield. Now there are only more than 6000 people left in a reorganized army. When they went to Wusongkou, they were going to die. As the representative of the Guangxi faction in the military and political council, he would never allow the ace army of the Guangxi faction to be used as cannon fodder.

"Chairman, the achievements of the Seventh Army on the Songhu battlefield are obvious to all. On the other hand, the First Army, the No. 18 Army and other direct-line troops of the Central Army lost Baoshan, and the other couldn't even defend Luodian. To send the Seventh Army to guard Wusongkou, the First Army and the No.18 Army should be divided into two wings. In this way, three 3rd armies with [-] troops will be gathered to fight the Japanese invaders at Wusongkou. Qiankun, how?"

Bai Chongxi said angrily.

The committee member smiled sarcastically, how could he not hear Bai Chongxi's angry words.

The performance of the Seventh Army on the battlefield is indeed remarkable, but it is precisely because of this that he is even more afraid of the strength of the Gui family.

Now is the critical moment of the national war of resistance. He will never allow the Sichuan Army, Guangxi Army, Yunnan Army and other local warlords to preserve their strength. Under the general trend of the War of Resistance, weakening the strength of the local warlords is the most important thing to do.

Chapter 39 ready to evacuate

The Military and Political Council finally decided that the First Army and the Seventh Army will jointly guard Wusongkou, and the Special Warfare Division and the Loyalty and National Salvation Army will withdraw from Wusongkou and return to Hangzhou to rest.

This result was the result of many confrontations between the Commissioner and the Guangxi faction. Although the result was somewhat unsatisfactory, for the sake of the overall situation of the War of Resistance, this was the only way to go.

The telegram from the Military and Political Council was sent to Wusongkou.

Liang Xiao was holding a walkie-talkie at the division headquarters to give an order: "The artillery fire is extended, and the center of the 14th joint is violently bombarded. The 14th to be hit cannot be seen at the end..."

"Master seat, the latest telegram from the Military and Political Council."

Chu Xiangxue ran over with the telegram she had just received, her delicate face was full of joy.

Liang Xiao put down the walkie-talkie, took the telegram from her hand, and wondered what orders came from the gang from the Military and Political Council.

After reading the telegram, his nervous expression finally showed a smile.

not easy.

It's not easy.

We finally waited for the withdrawal message from the military and political council.

Today is the first day of November, and again... the first Japanese army should land from Hangzhou Jinshanwei and other places, and he can't wait to return to Hangzhou to deploy defense.

"Master, the devil's attack speed is too fast, one company of the first brigade failed to catch it, allowing the devil to break through a gap."

The combat staff officer ran in.

"Go, pass on my order to order the heavy artillery unit and the mountain artillery unit to extend their artillery fire, and give me a hard fight against the 14 bastards. Don't save ammunition. I will withdraw after this battle. It's useless to save ammunition."

Liang Xiao slapped the telegram on the table fiercely. He has been saving ammunition for the past two days, fearing that the shells will not be enough. Now that the military and political council has ordered the troops to withdraw and rest, what is he doing with the shells.

"Division seat, the heavy artillery unit cannot fire. Once the artillery is fired, the 14th Division may touch our artillery position."

Combat staff officer said.

"That was before, but now it's different. Tell the heavy artillery to fire two-thirds of the shells, then disassemble the heavy artillery, and prepare to withdraw to Hangzhou."

Liang Xiao waved his hand.

"Yes."

The combat staff officer went down to deliver the order.

"Xiangxue, immediately.

Send a telegram to the headquarters of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army to tell them to withdraw to Hangzhou tonight, and the medical team and logistics organization will also withdraw together.”

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Chu Xiangxue said happily.

"General, the Military and Political Council has finally agreed to your withdrawal and rest."

Chen Hua was also really happy for him.

"Even if they don't agree, I will withdraw my troops and return to Hangzhou."

Liang Xiao said.

"General, Nanjing has sent a secret message."

Tang Menghan walked over with the important information message he just received.

Liang Xiao took a look at the secret telegram and was furious.

He Yingqin and Feng Yuxiang, two old men, put him to death, it is very hateful, he fought the Japanese to the death on the battlefield, but these guys plotted against him behind his back.

"Damn."

He gave a loud drink and slammed the telegram on the table.

"General calm down."

Chen Hua didn't know what happened in the telegram, but seeing how angry he was, he knew that the matter was serious.

"Immediately send a report to Hua Kezhi, let the China Daily disclose the family affairs of our Minister He, and let the soldiers and civilians across the country take a look. The soldiers who fought for the country did not have enough food, could not wear shoes, and were still wearing single clothes in the snow and ice, while we But Minister He has a lot of money, and cars equipped with banknotes and US dollars are transported to the rear of the Southwest."

Liang Xiao said coldly.

"Yes, I will generate electricity for Section Chief Hua."

Tang Menghan turned around and left.

"General, is someone in the upper echelon embarrassing you again?"

Chen Hua asked softly.

"He Yingqin and Feng Yuxiang, these two bastards, they want me to lead the army to guard Wusongkou, and fight to the death with the Japanese army at Wusongkou. Fortunately, they said it, it is really shameless."

Liang Xiao cursed loudly.

"It's not a good thing for the general to calm down and show your sharpness. From the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War to the present, you have made great achievements in battle. It is reasonable for some people to be jealous."

Chen Hua comforted him.

"They are not jealous, they want to put my [-] troops to death for their own little calculations, the brothers followed me on the battlefield, but they counted my [-] brothers behind, such high-ranking generals, Worse than moths."

Liang Xiao said angrily.

"Don't be upset, the general. The military and political council is willing to allow you to withdraw your troops back to Hangzhou, which shows that there are still people at the top who know your difficulties."

Chen Hua comforted softly.

"If it wasn't for the committee member and the teacher to protect me, this time it might really be beyond redemption."

Liang Xiao's anger could not be dispelled.

"Since the committee has given permission for you to withdraw your troops back to Hangzhou, it is the right way for you to withdraw your troops as soon as possible, lest the Japanese army encircle you, and you will not be able to withdraw at that time."

Chen Huadao.

"Do not."

Liang Xiao was very calm in his anger, and said: "The 1st Division is coming aggressively. If you don't hurt it, the troops behind will not be able to hold it back. Before the Japanese army encircles them, let's take the 14th Division first." Even if you can't wipe out all of them with a knife, you have to seriously injure 14."

"Operation order."

"Order the first special warfare brigade to attack across the board, tanks and armored vehicles to open the way, and heavy artillery and mountain artillery to cover the charge of infantry and tanks."

"Order the Special Operations Brigade to go around the back of 14, looking for opportunities to destroy the 14 artillery position."

"Six o'clock in the evening: 6:14 p.m., launch a general offensive. I want to see the Japanese army [-] fleeing back to Baoshan before dawn tomorrow."

Combat orders are passed on.

The division headquarters immediately began to operate, and communicated the latest combat deployment to the front line.

"Chen Hua, please make arrangements. The division headquarters will follow me to evacuate early tomorrow morning."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."
