Appointment Road.
"The principal's words will be conveyed by the students to the whole army."
Liang Xiao said.
The committee member nodded slowly, and said earnestly, "This battle in the Central Plains depends on you."
"Principal, rest assured that the students will never disappoint your expectations."
Liang Xiao said.
Then, they chatted for a while... the current situation and the war, Liang Xiao said goodbye and left.
Get out of the camp.
He returned directly to the headquarters of the 26th Army Group.
Headquarters, Operation Hall, Yang Jie is standing in front of the map and pondering carefully, as if thinking about something.
"Chief of Staff Yang."
Liang Xiao shouted at his back.
Yang Jie turned around and saw that it was Liang Xiao, but the rank on his collar badge changed from two gold stars to three gold stars.
Three gold stars, although he is also a general, he is a quasi-general, and he is still short of the military rank appointment of the Civil Service Department from the real second-level general.
"The commissioner called you over and gave you the rank of general. Congratulations."
Yang Jie said with a smile.
"My chief of staff, don't be sarcastic"
Liang Xiao laughed.
"Admiral is not admiral, I don't care, what I care about is how you fight next"
Yang Jie asked: "The frontal enemy of your 26th Army is Baoding's 26th Division. With equal strength and equipment, can your [-]th Army beat the [-]th Division?"
"As long as the first theater can guarantee the safety of our 26th Army's flanks and rear, it is no problem for our 26th Army to defeat the enemy's [-]th Division."
Liang Xiao said confidently.
"It seems that you are very confident in your troops. This is a good thing. As a general, you should have full confidence in your subordinates. If you don't even trust your subordinates' combat effectiveness, how can you win the battle?"
Yang Jie said.
Liang Xiao smiled: "I heard that Chief of Staff Yang is proficient in the art of war. Under the current situation, do you have any suggestions?"
“要说建议,还真有几个,第一,26军应趁拿下郑州的气概,与敌二十师团在城外决战,以强大的战斗力击溃日军主力部队,然后一鼓作气,向保定进军,只要拿下保定,我们就在中原就有了立足的空间,如此一来,方能长期和鬼子作战,第二,你的26军虽是王牌军,擅长进攻和防御,但毕竟只有2万多人,兵力欠缺太多,应尽快从冀中一带招募新兵,加强训练,随时补充进26军,只要有源源不断的兵员,26军才能驰骋在中原战场,否则,战斗力再强的部队,没有兵员补充,迟早也会衰败,第三,物资问题,你的部队是从江南开拔过来的,在物资方面,虽然有国府的特殊照顾,但国府财政困难,根本不可能喂饱这么一支战斗力强悍的部队,所以,部队要打胜仗,就得以战养战,用鬼子的物资,养活我们的军队,从而达到以战养战的目的.”
Three points raised by Yang Jie: very important, one is morale, second is soldiers, and third is supplies, as long as these three points are met, the 26th Army can gain a foothold in the Central Plains battlefield.
"What the chief of staff said coincides with Liang's morale problem. Liang has ordered the military intelligence department to escort military literature and art to the north. He will soon arrive at the front line to perform for the soldiers, so as to inspire the soldiers. In addition, various universities in the south of the Yangtze River And groups from all walks of life heard that the first battle of our Jiangdong soldiers had started in the Central Plains battlefield, and spontaneously formed several condolences, and they are coming across the river under the escort of the local garrison. The condolences from military literature and people from all walks of life will greatly encourage us Army morale."
"As for the issue of the number of soldiers, Liang has already applied to the committee to appoint Zhou Shiji, the commander of the 26th Army, as the commander-in-chief of Hebei security, to rectify the local troops and protect the environment and the people."
Liang Xiao laughed.
"In terms of supplies, our Second and Sixth Army brought a large amount of supplies at the beginning of their departure, enough to deal with several major battles. Secondly, the First War Zone added a batch of ammunition and supplies to us according to the list of the Military and Political Council. In addition, The devil's materials seized by our army from Zhengzhou and Kaifeng are still sufficient at present, and it is no problem to support several wars."
Liang Xiao said.
After Yang Jie heard this, he nodded again and again: "As expected of a famous general, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first, fighting in different places, replenishing soldiers, and boosting the morale of the army. It can be described as a chain. No wonder your [-]th Army can sweep Songhu The devils in the region are appointed as the hope of the party-state army."
"Chief of Staff Yang, don't praise me, Liang can't help it."
Liang Xiao laughed.
"From now on, Yang will be... your chief of staff, Commander Liang. If you have any orders, it's okay to say."
Yang Jie said.
"You, Chief of Staff Yang, came to me just to make a transition. You may be promoted to the commander of the theater someday. I dare not tell you."
Liang Xiao repeatedly waved his hands.
"This time I took the initiative to apply to be transferred to your 26th Army Group, and I will serve as the Chief of Staff for you. The Military and Political Council was afraid of losing face, and gave me the title of Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander of the theater. My real position is only one, the [-]th Army Group chief of staff."
Yang Jie laughed.
"Welcome Chief of Staff Yang to assume the post of chief of staff of our 26th Army Group. To express our welcome, let's drink a bottle of wine for him first."
Liang Xiao laughed loudly.
4 Chapter Sixty
headquarters.
Liang Xiao and Yang Jie were sitting opposite each other. On the table were a bottle of white wine, a plate of peanuts, a plate of freshly cut beef jerky, and a cold cucumber.
A few simple dishes can be regarded as a welcome feast for Yang Jie.
I am used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, and occasionally eating such a simple dish, Yang Jie is really happy in his heart. If Liang Xiao really presents him with a table of grand dishes, he is really not used to it. In his opinion, soldiers should be simpler .
After a short while, the two drank a bottle of white wine.
Yang Jie exhaled alcohol, and said: "Looking at so many senior generals in the national army, there are only two or three people I admire. The first is Jiang Baili, the principal of our mainland university, the second is you, General Liang Feiyu, and the second is you. Three..."
Speaking of the third one, Yang Jie suddenly... fell down: I can't name it.
He thought for a while, and said: "Little Zhuge Bai Jiansheng is half of him. His military theory is great, but his mind is too narrow, and he doesn't have the generosity of a military strategist. And get into trouble."
Liang Xiao couldn't help thinking, Yang Jie said that Bai Jiansheng had a bad temper, didn't he know that his temper had offended many people, even the committee members were angered by him, otherwise, he wouldn't be the chief of the national army He was kicked out of his position and became a deputy chief of the military command.
"Liang has read Deputy Chief Bai's military treatise, and it is a rare work."
Liang Xiao commented quite pertinently.
"Once a person's mind is narrow, his capacity will be gone. If he loses his capacity, it will only harm his life."
Yang Jie said with emotion.
Liang Xiao didn't want to discuss this issue with him, so he said: "Chief of Staff Yang, at this time of year, our [-]th Group Army is facing the domestic and foreign focus, which is a little bit off. What we lose is not...our own face, but It is the face of the entire national army, and now the whole country is watching whether our [-]th Army can compete with the devils in the Central Plains, since you have been the chief of staff of our [-]th Army, you should give more advice to our [-]th Army."
"Don't worry about that. I came to serve as the chief of staff of the [-]th Group Army. I just fought against you, Liang Feiyu. To be honest, I used to fight against local warlords. I was too lazy to fight. Now I am fighting against little devils. I have enough energy. , must let the little devil taste our power."
As Yang Jie said, he slammed two fists on the table to show his determination to fight against the war.
......The news that Zhengzhou and Kaifeng were successively taken back by our army was broadcast on Zhongyang's radio station. In just two days, it caused an upsurge of fishing boats at home and abroad, and foreign media were all evaluating the situation in the Central Plains.
Some foreign media bluntly stated that the national army could not defend Zhengzhou and Kaifeng. Although the 26th Army under the [-]th Army was brave and good at fighting, not all national army troops could have as strong combat effectiveness as the [-]th Army.
Looking at the situation in the Central Plains battlefield, foreign media believe that this is just a short-lived performance of the Second and Sixth Army.
Once the Japanese army gathers the main force to attack Kaifeng and Zheng, the group army will undoubtedly be defeated.
Of course, in addition to such remarks, there are also foreign media reports that support Liang Xiao.
They praised Liang Xiao as a once-in-a-thousand-year general. This time he leads troops into the Central Plains, which will definitely change the war pattern in the Central Plains. At that time, the Japanese army will form a confrontation with the national army, and the one-sided war in the past will no longer exist.
The domestic media was overjoyed. They regarded this victory as a good sign for conquering the Central Plains and recovering North China.
With the rise of fishing boats everywhere, young people with lofty ideals and people with lofty ideals from the Central Plains went to Los Angeles one after another to sign up to join the army.
In the past, the headquarters of the 26th Group Army was located in Jinling, from the Central Plains to Jinling, separated by the Yangtze River. In addition, wars were frequently triggered in various places, and the devils occupied the traffic arteries. The road to the south of the Yangtze River was not smooth, so they had to give up this idea.
This time the Second and Sixth Army became famous in the Central Plains, and those... people with lofty ideals saw hope and went to Los Angeles to ask to join the army.
Because there are so many young people joining the army, Liang Xiao had no choice but to ask the combat staff of the general headquarters to set up a few temporary recruiting signs. Anyone who meets the requirements in height and weight can be temporarily incorporated into the reserve army for training. Anyone with bad habits will be rejected. .
This is the confidence of the [-]th Army.
All of a sudden, there was a wave of people signing up to join the army in Los Angeles.
In just two days, the recruiting offices of the 4000th Army Group were overcrowded, with as many as [-] people signing up to join the army.
The first war zone saw the popularity of the recruiting office of the Second and Sixth Army, and they also set up a recruiting office, and there were very few recruits.
Some recruitment offices in the First War Zone even secretly replaced the sign with the words of the Second and Sixth Group Army to trick the recruits into joining.
Some young people who enlist in the army don't know why, and after joining the army, they regret it too late.
Of course, in order to prevent the first theater from poaching soldiers, the staff officers of the [-]th Army put up notices in the city, announcing the recruitment points for the [-]th Army to join the army, and to recognize the camouflage uniforms and armbands of the [-]th Army. Don’t be fooled by those ......The fake recruiting office was tricked.
As the commander of the group army, Liang Xiao only hurriedly listened to the report on the hot recruitment, without any opinion.
In the past two days, I have been camping in Los Angeles, and there are awards, celebrations, and a symposium for senior generals.
While he had to pay attention to the frontline battles, he also had to deal with the committee, so he really didn't care about other things.
No, Wei Zuo stayed in Los Angeles for two days, then flew back to the mountain city in a hurry, saying that the Japanese army showed signs of attacking the southwest.
As soon as he left, Liang Xiao immediately had time to study the frontline warfare.
In the past two days, the 26th Army sent back a military reconnaissance telegram every two or three hours.
According to the latest reconnaissance information, the 26th Division of the Japanese Army dispatched two brigades, a heavy artillery brigade, and an armored brigade. With the cooperation of the aviation unit, they marched aggressively towards Zhengzhou. Its vanguard has already exchanged fire with the vanguard of the [-]th Army , the two sides just played tentatively, and there was no attack from the big girlfriend.
The devils are waiting for follow-up troops to arrive one after another, and then besiege Zhengzhou with heavy troops.
According to intelligence, the devils on the Jizhong Plain are also hurrying to advance to Zhengzhou. A certain unit of the No. 20 Group Army in the First Theater has exchanged fire with the devils in Jizhong.
In the direction of Hankou, the devils divided their troops and marched northward, and the two divisions of Tang Enbo's army had already moved forward to meet the enemy.
At the same time, the troops of the Northwest Army are also speeding up their movement to Jin, looking for a favorable position to prevent the devils from attacking Kaifeng.
A great battle has begun.
On the devil's side, the North China Front Army mobilized heavy troops and started a mighty sweep.
The so-called big sweep is to suppress all the anti-Japanese military forces in the jurisdiction. Only when the jurisdiction they captured is stable, can they devote their energy to the outside battle.
Chapter 461 The Jin army was defeated, and the front line was in a hurry
June eleventh.
In the early morning, the 50th Division of the Devils dispatched more than [-] bombers to carry out uninterrupted bombing of the city defense of Zhengzhou.
The soldiers of the 26th Army struggled under the artillery shells and tenaciously held on to the city in the volcano.
military department.
"Hey, hey, this is the 26th Army."
"Hey, hello, is this the general headquarters of the group army? This is the 26th Army."
"Report to the headquarters. This morning, Japanese bombers bombarded our city defenses in Zhengzhou. Their ground troops have already exchanged fire with our troops outside the city. Our department requests fighter support. Our department requests fighter support. Our department requests... …”
Beep, beep, the signal is interrupted.
Chief of Staff Liu Quanyou ordered the radio station to continue calling the headquarters.
Los Angeles.
[-]th Army Headquarters.
Liang Xiao’s brows were furrowed tightly. The reconnaissance plane of the national army had sent back information. The 26th division of the Japanese army on the ground had exchanged fire with troops outside the city of the 26th Army in the early morning. The army is in a hurry.
The little devil is serious this time. Heavy artillery, mountain artillery, infantry artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and planes are almost all dispatched. The scale of their troops is as large as one and a half divisions. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of this one and a half divisions is greater than that of two The combat power of the division is even stronger.
"Commander Liang, I request to go to the front line to command operations."
Yang Jie said.
"Chief of Staff Yang, the battle has just begun, and the outcome is still unknown. We can just sit in the command post and wait for the outcome of the battle on the front line to be decided. It will not be too late for us to make a decision."
Liang Xiao had long been worried about the fate and future of the 26th Army in his heart, but on the surface he was unruffled, calm and composed, talking and laughing.
"Commander Liang, it's too late. The army of devils is overwhelming, and Zhengzhou is in danger. If we don't... give reinforcements, and don't give aircraft support, the 2th Army won't be able to last for a few days."
Yang Jie said anxiously.
"The chief of staff doesn't need to worry too much. As long as there are no devils on Zhengzhou's side, the 26th Army is fully capable of defending Zhengzhou."
Liang Xiao waved his hands and smiled.
Yang Jie sighed: "The news from the first war zone, last night, a brigade of the Japanese army in central Hebei attacked the 288th Division of the 28th Group Army. The division was defenseless in the face of the devil's sneak attack. The shell was seriously injured, and the chief of staff was killed on the spot. The division was leaderless, and was chased and beaten by a brigade of devils overnight. More than 3000 people, about three to four thousand, soldiers died in battle, and some officers and soldiers were dispersed by the devils. At present, the devils in Jizhong have advanced the front line by more than 100 kilometers, and Zhengzhou is only less than [-] kilometers away.”
"A brigade of devils wiped out a division"
Liang Xiao got angry, and said coldly: "The commander of the 2nd division should be shot to thank the people of the country. A majestic division has been beaten by a brigade of devils with an incomplete system. He still has the face to lead troops to fight."
"Shang Zhen has mobilized the main force of the [-]th Army and is stepping up the construction of fortifications to ensure that Zhengzhou's flanks will not be harassed by devils."
