Yang Jie said.
"The [-]th Army has the Jinsui Army as its main force. I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable. No wonder even Taiyuan was occupied by devils. It's not that the little devils are strong in combat, but that the Jinsui Army is too timid and cowardly."
Liang Xiao said angrily.
"It's too late to say anything now. Let's focus on the front-line warfare. If the Japanese army raids the outskirts of Zhengzhou, he will not be able to escape the responsibility of the [-]th Army Group. As the commander of the Group Army, Shang Zhen will be dealt with by military law."
Yang Jie comforted him.
"Even if Shang Zhen is shot, it will not change the fact that the flank of our 26th Army is about to be attacked by the enemy."
Liang Xiao said.
"It's still too late to make amends. As long as the 26th Army defeats the invading [-]th Division from the front, it is fully capable of turning its guns around and destroying the devils in Jizhong outside Zhengzhou City."
Yang Jie said.
"It's too late. The bastards of the Jinsui Army let the devils push the front line to less than a hundred kilometers away from Zhengzhou. They are trying to wipe out our 26th Army."
Liang Xiao gritted his teeth. The 26th Army is his ace army. Once this battle is defeated, how can he be worthy... the whole army, how can he be worthy... Jiangdong's elders.
"It's a pity that our troops are all in Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, and there is no way to increase the number of troops. Otherwise, we can send a troop to go deep into the Jizhong Plain, intercept the devils west of the Erdao River, and fight for the 26th Army in Zhengzhou. time."
Yang Jie said.
Liang Xiao looked at the military map and pondered. After a while, he said to Yang Jie: "Chief Yang, please take command of this battle. You are the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of staff of the first theater. The troops in the theater operate on the move, and the troops of our 26th Group Army are fighting on the front line according to the predetermined plan. As the commander, I am also anxious to stay at the headquarters, so I will take the two brigades of the Special Operations Division to the front line in Zhengzhou."
"No......, you are the commander of the group army. If you leave, how will the military situation in Kaifeng be handled?"
Yang Jie hurriedly stopped him.
"There is no serious problem in Kaifeng for the time being. As long as the devils don't break through the Northwest Army's position, Kaifeng will be safe. Once the devil breaks through the Northwest Army's position, the 66th Army in Kaifeng City must have built a large-scale fortification outside the city. Supported by aviation fighter planes from the headquarters, they are also capable of defending Kaifeng."
Liang Xiao knew best that once Zhengzhou was lost, Kaifeng would be lost, and the most urgent thing to do was to keep Zhengzhou.
"The front line is fighting, and the devil's aviation bombers are bombarding Zhengzhou. You take the troops into Zhengzhou at this time. If something goes wrong, how will I explain to the chairman and the people of the world?"
Yang Jie blocked it again.
梁萧挥手示意他不必多说,转身向机要科秘书楚香雪吩咐道:“给委座发电,昨日晚上,二十集团军商震部被日军击溃,日军防线推进百多公里,目前距郑州不足百余公里,今天清晨,日军出动50多架轰炸机,对我郑州26军狂轰乱炸,其地面部队已和26军阵地部队交火,战况未知,26军侧翼即将被突破,学生心忧郑州10,000+百姓,以及26军2万多名将士,特率集团军留守部队增援郑州,若学生以身殉国,恳请校长勿伤感,坚定抗战之心,继续与敌周旋,他日必能扫除外侮,梁萧,六月十日,中午十二点十五分.”
Chapter 462 The devils and soldiers suppressed the situation and went to the front line in person
Liang Xiao had never sent such a telegram before, and it was the first time.
In previous wars, he coordinated the overall situation, sat in the headquarters, and strategized.
But this time, he is not the commander of the entire battle situation, but only the frontline commander, and he can command only the 26th Army and the 66th Army of the Second and Sixth Army.
Now, the 26th Army he formed with his own hands is struggling to fight back under the artillery fire of the devils. As a commander, how can he stand by and watch the 26th Army be smashed by the Japanese from the flank.
"The main seat..."
It was the first time for Chu Xiangxue, the confidential military secretary who recorded the telegram, to see such a dignified expression on Liang Xiao's face, and it was also the first time to record Liang Xiao's farewell telegram.
It can be seen from this that the battle ahead is really not optimistic, otherwise, why would Liang Xiao, who is the commander of the group army, send such a telegram.
"Xiangxue, go send it."
Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, as the saying goes, only when the boat is overwhelmed can one die and survive.
"Yes."
Chu Xiangxue sighed slightly in her heart, and turned to send the report.
"All the staff members of the military department will stay, and the confidential department will carry four radio stations and walkie-talkies, and follow me to Zhengzhou. The field hospitals left behind in Los Angeles will go to Zhengzhou in batches. It is good to leave a small team in Los Angeles. The headquarters is directly under the tank, armor , Mountain Artillery, Special Operations Brigade, all follow me to the front line, and the bombing formation at the airport will start tomorrow to launch into the air to support the front line of Zhengzhou."
After Liang Xiao gave orders one after another, he said to Yang Jie, "Chief of Staff, you are fully responsible for the logistics dispatch of each unit."
"Commander Liang, when I first took office, you put the life and death power of the 26th Army in my hands, and you are not afraid of me stabbing you in the back."
Yang Jie laughed.
"No, even if you really stabbed me, it wouldn't cause any fatal damage to the [-]th Army."
Liang Xiao dared to hand over the command to Yang Jie because he considered that the battle on the front line had already been decided, and the existence of the headquarters was of little significance, except for receiving telegrams and dispatching logistics, there was no other use for it.
"You can rest assured to go to the front line. I will keep an eye on the headquarters. I will communicate with them in the first war zone. Once Zhengzhou can't hold on, and the power comes back in time, I will discuss with Cheng Qian and mobilize the first war zone. The troops went to Zhengzhou for reinforcements."
Yang Jie said.
"Are there any soldiers in the first war zone?"
Liang Xiao sneered.
"Songgong still holds two Hunan troops in his hands, about 3 to [-] people. When Zhengzhou is in an emergency, he will definitely send troops to reinforce him, and he will not wait for death."
Yang Jie whispered.
"There is Chief of Staff Lao Yang."
Liang Xiao said something polite.
......afternoon.
Liang Xiao personally led the Confidential Section and the Headquarters, as well as the two special warfare brigades of the special warfare division staying in Los Angeles, with a total of more than 1 people, marched to Zhengzhou in a mighty manner.
This time I went to Zhengzhou, all the staff from the Confidential Section went with him.
His command center is... the Confidential Section. This section controls the two major command systems of military affairs and military intelligence. All his telegrams are sent through the Confidential Section. Therefore, this section must be taken with him.
"General, are you going to Zhengzhou this time because you are determined to die?"
Chen Hua asked.
Liang Xiao glanced at her and said with a smile, "You're scared."
"Since the beginning of the war, I have been galloping with you on the Songhu battlefield. I have fought dozens of battles, big and small, and I have never been afraid."
Chen Hua smiled lightly.
"It's different this time."
Liang Xiao had a premonition that this battle of Zhengzhou would be the most difficult in his military career.
"I believe that the general can lead the 26th Army to defend Zhengzhou and repel the invading enemy."
Chen Hua has blind admiration and trust for Liang Xiao. It is this trust that makes her firm in her belief that no matter what the circumstances, as long as Liang Xiao is safe, all troubles can be resolved.
"hope so."
Liang Xiao has now planned to fight independently, no longer handing over his back and flanks to pig-like friendly troops.
Before dark, he took the lead in taking the lead in a car, more than a hundred miles away from Zhengzhou.
From here, the sound of guns and cannons in Zhengzhou city can already be faintly heard a hundred miles away.
Around twelve o'clock in the morning:.
Liang Xiao led his troops to arrive outside the city of Zhengzhou. He ordered the headquarters to be directly under the tank, armor, mountain artillery and other heavy-armored troops, and searched for dense forests outside the city to camp on the spot. He left a special warfare brigade to protect the safety of the heavy equipment, and the rest of the troops and the field hospital followed suit. He enters the city.
After entering the city, the staff of the 26th Army arranged for the troops directly under the headquarters and the medical staff of the hospital. He was led by the staff to the 26th Army.
military department.
Zhou Shiji and Liu Quanyou drooped their heads, disheveled.
"Why, you two don't seem to welcome me"
Liang Xiao walked over to the command chair and sat down: , smiled slowly.
"Boss, with all due respect, you shouldn't be coming to Zhengzhou at this time."
Zhou Shiji said in a deep voice.
"Could it be that I will wait until you Zhou Shiji dies in battle, and then come to collect your body, hold a memorial service for you, and send you to the ground for peace."
Liang Xiao said.
"Boss, that's not the meaning of being humble. As you know, the situation our 26th Army is currently facing is very serious. Life and death are on the line. If you come to Zhengzhou at this time, if something goes wrong, even if you die, you can't afford it. big responsibility."
Zhou Shiji smiled wryly.
"Aren't you crazy, why are you so upset now?"
Looking at Zhou Shiji's miserable appearance, Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing.
"I still underestimated the devil's confidence in taking back Zhengzhou. Right in front of us, all the troops of the Devil's [-]th Division have been assembled, and there are reinforcements coming in one after another. In just one day, the first fortification has been torn open." , Fortunately, our artillery blasted the devils down in time, otherwise, I am afraid that at this moment, the devil's troops have already crossed the first position and are attacking my second position."
Zhou Shiji sighed.
"How many ... tanks and armored vehicles were dispatched by the devils"
Liang Xiao knew in his heart that with the powerful combat power of the 26th Army, unless the devils dispatched large-scale tanks and armor, it would be impossible for them to pounce on the first line of the 26th Army.
"There are more than 100 Devils tanks and armored vehicles that attacked today. In addition, the Devils' heavy artillery units frequently bombarded our frontline troops. Almost half of the fortifications in the forward positions were destroyed by heavy artillery. Otherwise, the Devils would not be able to tear it down so quickly Open the mouth of my forward position."
Zhou Shiji was also very helpless. This time going north, the group army headquarters only brought mountain artillery and tank armor, and all the heavy artillery troops were deployed in the coastal defense of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
In the fortress, he was also helpless in the face of the devil's heavy artillery.
Chapter 463 Stop digging the air-raid shelter, Li Feng
"Boss, just today, more than 1000 officers and soldiers of the frontline troops were killed in battle, and more than 300 officers and soldiers of the city defense were bombed by devil planes, more than 700 officers and soldiers were injured, and more than 2000 soldiers were lost in the battle."
Chief of Staff Liu Quan said with a heartache.
"The Battle of Zhengzhou was related to the war in the Central Plains, and also related to the overall situation of the War of Resistance. Our 26th Army was like a knife, pierced in the heart of the Japanese army. Of course, the Japanese army will try their best to remove our knife, but the knife that has already been inserted , how can they be pulled out so easily.”
Liang Xiao said in a deep voice: "This time I personally lead the troops directly under the headquarters to reinforce Zhengzhou. I have the same purpose as the soldiers of the 26th Army. In this battle, if you fail, you will be benevolent, and you will never retreat."
"Boss, why are you doing this? The 26th Army is gone, you can rebuild it. If you are gone, there are still 20 of our troops in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, and more than 66 brothers from the 2th Army in Kaifeng. What will they do?"
Zhou Shiji said bitterly.
"What you are talking about is nonsense. The 26th Army is a unit brought out by me. Many soldiers are brothers who fought with me from the battle in Shanghai. At this critical moment, how can I leave you alone and ignore it?"
Liang Xiao waved his hand, indicating that they don't need to say more, and said: "At the moment, we should think about how to defeat the twenty divisions in front."
"In terms of equipment, we are slightly inferior. In terms of military strength, the opponent has nearly 4 people, and our army has lost 5000 people since the siege of Zhengzhou. Now, including the logistics force, it is only 5000 There are differences in people, equipment and military strength, devils, it is not easy to win this battle."
Zhou Shiji said.
"Aren't you ambitious before, why are you so stupid now?"
Liang Xiao laughed.
"At one time and another, at that time, I estimated that the devils could deploy 2 people, which would be good. Unexpectedly, the devils actually dispatched one and a half divisions, and twenty divisions were dispatched, plus the emergency dispatched from Baoding. A brigade, there are four or five thousand, puppet army, the difference in strength is too great."
Zhou Shiji felt bitter. Since he became the commander of the 26th Army, it was the first time he had faced so many devils. There had been several battles before, but at that time, he was surrounded by troops under the 26th Army. They also have a tacit understanding. This time, there is only one unit of their 66th Army. The 26th Army closest to them is too busy to take care of themselves. It is impossible to support the [-]th Army. The national army, as long as there is no chaos.
"On the 26th flank, in the Erdaohe area, the devils have almost gathered the strength of two regiments, and they are advancing violently. If the No. 20 Army's defense line stationed in this area is broken by the devils, our 26th Army's flank will be hit. At that time It directly affects the situation on the frontal battlefield.”
Liang Xiao was also very worried about the battle on the front line.
"My 26th Army is not strong enough to defend the city. How can I go to Erdaohe to stop the devils? Besides, the 8th Army has [-] to [-] people. They can't even defend a small Erdaohe."
Zhou Shiji said.
"Last night, nearly [-] people in the [-]th Army were beaten by a brigade of devils and fled in a hurry. I hope they can hold Erdaohe for four or five days."
Liang "The road from Zhengzhou to Jizhong is a flat area, which is not suitable for the special operations department. Otherwise, we can send special operations troops to stop the devils in Jizhong."
Zhou Shi: "I have also thought about this. Special operations troops are not suitable for positional warfare, and the Central Plains are mostly plains, fighting in open areas. The losses of special operations troops are borne by us."
Liang Xiao would not use the special warfare troops he had cultivated with great difficulty to fight positional warfare.
"There is another way to deploy a reinforcement from our 26th Army. Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, go out to Jiming Mountain, [-] kilometers outside Zhengzhou City, to build fortifications to keep the Japanese army away. As long as we have enough shells, one The strengthening is enough to block the devils for half a month, buying time for the frontal battlefield."
Zhou Shiji said.
Liang Xiao took a deep look at him. He understood the reason why kindness does not command soldiers. As the main general on the battlefield, Zhou Shiji has perseverance and perseverance in terms of choices.
Once this reinforcement is sent to stop the devils, it means that this reinforcement will completely disappear in the establishment of the 26th Army.
But this is not certain, the devils only have two wings, about 6000 people,,, one is strengthened with nearly 3000 people, facing the devils with 6000, [-] people, the main firepower is enough, even if they cannot be intercepted, It can also kill devils on a large scale, causing heavy casualties to devils.
"One reinforcement is not enough. A special warfare battalion is transferred from the special warfare division. During the day, it is positional warfare. At night, let the special warfare troops play special operations for them. The devils are exhausted and unable to attack. In this way, our flanks will It's safe."
Liang Xiao said.
"Only in this way, the frontal pressure on our army will increase a lot."
Zhou Shiji frowned for a while, and suddenly said: "We can concentrate our superior forces first, wipe out the devils on the flanks in one fell swoop, and then go all out to face the devils in the front."
