Chu Xiangxue said.

"Calling back to Commander-in-Chief Cheng, there are more than 20 soldiers in the first war zone, can they still not withstand the two divisions of Neiji Okamura?"

Liang Xiao sneered and said: "If the first war zone thinks it can't defend Luocheng, please withdraw all troops immediately, Luocheng will be guarded by our second and sixth army."

"General, is that how the telegram is sent?"

Chen Hua was slightly taken aback.

"That's it. The performance of the first war zone in this Central Plains battle was terrible. There were more than 20 troops, but the little devils were defeated. It was a shame for the party and country soldiers, especially Shang Zhen's Jinsui army. Army, called the Steamed Bun Army, one division was almost wiped out by devils and a brigade, and Tang Enbo was even more ashamed. The three 3rd Army could not stop the two divisions of Neiji Okamura, and they were chased all the way back to Los Angeles. Cheng, such a general is not worthy of being fed to pigs."

Liang Xiao was quite angry. If it wasn't for the incompetence of these two men, why would his Second and Sixth Army be so passive.

: From the opening of the book last year to the present, many old friends have been chasing after me. I am really touched by the ecstasy. Reading in this place, basically a book has more than one million words, and the potential of the book has come to an end. This is the unfinished eunuch However, my book has been doing very well since it was put on the shelves. It was also on the top list for a period of time before the million-word mark. A small article, with this achievement, is already very satisfied, thank you all here, thank you for the old brothers who have rewarded these days, thousands of words... Thank you.

The soldiers of the [-]th Army chased the devils all over the mountains and plains.

Devil No. 17 Division was pinched by the 26th Army and the 66th Army, and it was completely defeated, leaving behind corpses all over the mountains and plains, and the remnants fled towards Baoding.

Baoding's Special Operations Brigade received an order from the General Command of the Group Army and sent special operations troops out of the city to ambush. corpse, and fled backwards.

The troops pursued by the 26th Army took the opportunity to catch up, and joined forces with the special forces from Baoding to attack, and wiped out all the deserters of the Devils.

The head of the [-]th Division was hit by a grenade on the way to defeat and died on the spot.

The national army captured more than 1 prisoners, and the rest of the devil soldiers were wiped out, and countless food and supplies were seized.

After the battle is over.

Liang Xiao personally dictated the telegram and sent it to the whole country. The content is as follows.

"In the Battle of the Central Plains, the [-]th Group Army wiped out the enemy's [-]th Division, [-]th Division, and Takagi Brigade, and wiped out more than [-] enemy people. They captured Lieutenant General Heiyan Tetsuro of the [-]th Division and killed the Lieutenant General of the [-]th Division. Nishidao, killed Takagi Goro, the head of the Takagi Brigade, and recovered the three cities of Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Baoding. Now the whole country is electrified to boost the confidence of the soldiers and civilians in the War of Resistance. The evening of June [-]."

In the First Battle of the Central Plains, eight major generals and one lieutenant general were killed, one lieutenant general was captured, three major generals were captured, 26 major officers, 73 lieutenants, more than 140 majors, and more than 1000 lieutenant officers were killed.

Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army's established troops have been wiped out. It was the victory in Shanghai in April this year and the defense of Jinling last year. However, these........ battles were all commanded by Liang Xiao of.

After this battle, he took another step forward from being a famous general, and he is already a world-class top famous general.

Looking at the battles he commanded, they are absolutely unique in the history of the War of Resistance.

Among so many anti-Japanese troops and generals in the country, there is no one who can have such a record as him, even Xue Boling, the acting commander of the Ninth War Zone, cannot be compared with him.

26 Army, Military Department.

Liang Xiao walked into the conference room, almost all the major generals from the 26th Army and the 66th Army were present.

"The main seat."

Everyone stood up in unison and listened respectfully.

"sit."

Liang Xiao looked cold and handsome, and said: "This battle is enough to determine the Central Plains. After this battle, the North China Front Army can be said to have been greatly injured in the Central Plains. However, the casualties of our army are not small, more than 7 people, and more than 2 people died in the battle. , more than 8000 people were slightly injured, and more than 2000 people were seriously injured. This great victory was not easy, and it was exchanged by brothers."

"Our army paid such a high price to win the three cities of Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Baoding. We must not let the blood of the brothers be shed in vain. Taking advantage of the serious damage to the Japanese army, Liang ordered in the name of the commander-in-chief of the [-]nd and [-]th Army."

"The order is as follows: Xia Liangjun's Department of the 66th Army, immediately send troops to Jizhong, recover the Jizhong Plain, look for opportunities to wipe out the active Japanese forces in Jizhong, and recover the occupied areas."

"The Yang Dingguo Department of the 66th Army returned to Kaifeng immediately, and then stationed troops in Kaifeng. During the training period, pay attention to the military appearance and military style, and pay close attention to the dynamics of the Northwest Army. Within the scope of our army's capabilities, we can provide support to the Northwest Army."

"The Wang Sanmin Department of the 66th Army, taking over from the First Special Operations Brigade, stationed in Baoding, paying close attention to the movements of the devils in the Pingjin area."

"The Independent Division of the 66th Army is stationed in Zhengzhou City. During the training period, it helps the people rebuild houses that were destroyed by the war, and pays attention to the security in the city. It is now the heavy rain season in the Central Plains. When the Department is stationed in training, it must closely prepare for flood control. Once a flood breaks out, the flood will be diverted into the Yellow River area in time, and the independent division will dispatch security forces to rescue the flooded people on both sides of the Yellow River, evacuate the people from the flooded area of ​​the Yellow River, and send them to nearby counties for resettlement."

"Yes."

The division commanders of the 66th Army who were named stood up one after another.

"The 66th Army, the military headquarters is located in Baoding. In order to facilitate the battle, the front enemy headquarters of the 66th Army was established. Sun Bing served as the front enemy commander, and unified commanded the four 44th divisions of the [-]th Army headquarters, as well as the local troops of the nearby national army."

"Yes."

Sun Bing got up and said.

Liang Xiao went on to say: "Now Los Angeles is in an emergency, Okamura Ningji's two divisions are approaching Los Angeles, Tang Enbo's troops have been defeated in a row, and the army has been defeated. The 26th Army has given up its heavy equipment and returned to Los Angeles with me."

"Yes."

Zhou Shiji said.

"Now it's raining heavily, our army's heavy equipment will be placed in Zhengzhou for the time being, and will be distributed to various troops after the rain is over."

Liang Xiao refers to heavy equipment, such as mountain artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles. As for mortars and [-] infantry artillery, all garrison troops can still carry them.

"Special warfare division, send a regiment of troops to enter the Jizhong Plain with Xia Liangjun's troops, and cooperate with the large forces to attack Jizhong. Here I want to emphasize one point. Within the jurisdiction of our department, the local militias have two places to go. 2. Eliminate the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and merge the young and middle-aged into the reserve force of our group army. [-]. The local militias leave our jurisdiction and go to other occupied areas to develop. If the above orders are not obeyed, they will disarm on the spot. Those who disobey the military order will be wiped out on the spot."

Liang Xiao is well aware of the reason why compassion does not command soldiers. His troops opened up the war in the Central Plains and cost tens of thousands of soldiers their lives in exchange for it. He will never allow the local militias to arm these rats. .

"Special warfare division, send another special warfare to the front enemy headquarters, and Sun Bing will dispatch it. The rest of the troops will immediately withdraw to Los Angeles when the rain slows down a bit."

"In addition, according to the telegram from the Military and Political Council, the Hebei Security Command was established. Zhou Shiji, the commander of the 26th Army, served as the commander-in-chief of Hebei Security. The headquarters was located in Baoding. Sun Bing, commander and former commander-in-chief of the enemy concurrently."

"The Hebei Security Command has the responsibility and obligation to urge the local armed forces to accept reorganization or reorganization. The bandit armed forces in the area under its jurisdiction must be eliminated as soon as possible. For the aspiring young people who actively sign up to join the army, they must gather their dignity and accumulate strength for the war of resistance."

In a word, in a word.

The Hebei Security Headquarters must incorporate the local armed forces as soon as possible and recruit young people with aspirations to join the army.

In this battle of the Central Plains, the 26th Army and the 66th Army suffered heavy casualties, and they urgently needed to replenish their troops. Since he took over the territory, the troops here belonged to the [-]th Army.

4 Chapter Eighty

late June.

A telegram from Liang Xiao, commander of the [-]th Group Army, shocked the whole country.

Zhongyang set up a radio station to broadcast that night: "My heroic 26th Army soldiers, led by my heroic General Liang Xiao, beat the Japanese invaders hard, wiped out more than 8 enemies, captured more than [-] people, recovered the vast Central Plains, and severely damaged the Japanese army in North China. , which greatly injured their vitality, the supreme leader said that the Central Plains battlefield ended with the victory of the national army, and once again warned the invaders that unjust wars cannot be won, and the great nation will not be defeated by you... ..."

As for the news that Zhongyang set up a radio station, Liang Xiao got it in one ear and out the other. He has electrified the whole country and wiped out more than [-] enemies, but Zhongyang set up a radio station saying that he wiped out [-] enemies. Do you know how to brag about military exploits? Of course, the news of Zhongyang Set up can fool the common people, but it is still far from fooling the top leaders of the party and state.

accompany capital.

Commissioned official residence.

The commissioner, who just came back from a certain front line in the southwest to condolences to the officers and soldiers, held Liang Xiao's nationwide telegram, and he was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Liang Feiyu deserves to be my student. In the First World War in the Central Plains, we raised our army's prestige and wiped out two divisions and one brigade of the enemy. He also captured the commander of the [-]th division, Heiyan Tetsuro, and killed the commander of the [-]th division." Niu Dao is real, he has made outstanding contributions, and he is worthy of being the leader of the rejuvenation of the party and the country."

The commissioner said happily.

"Committee, the Battle of Zhengzhou was won, but Luo City was besieged by two divisions of Neiji Okamura. At present, Neiji Okamura's vanguard has reached more than [-] miles from the city of Los Angeles, and Tang Enbo's army has retreated. At the southwest gate of Luo City, the Shang Zhen Group Army retreated to the northeast, and the rest of the troops were placed in the outer positions. Commander Cheng Qian of the First War Zone called several times to urge us to send reinforcements to support the First War Zone to ensure that Los Angeles is not lost. "

Chief of Staff Chen Chengdao.

"There are more than 20 troops in the first war zone. Could it be that Okamura Neiji's mere 5 troops can't be stopped?"

The committee member looked displeased.

Chen Cheng smiled wryly and said: "Committee, you seem to have forgotten that not every army can be as good at fighting as Liang Xiao's army. Judging from the proportion of troops in the battle of Seoul in the ninth theater, it is difficult for our army to deal with the main force of the Japanese army of more than 5. It takes at least 20 yuan to defend the city."

"That's right, not every army is as good at fighting as Liang Feiyu."

The committee member sighed and asked, "Can Liang Feiyu's troops reinforce Luo City?"

"It stands to reason that the two armies under the jurisdiction of the Second and Sixth Army have just defeated the two and a half divisions of the devils, and urgently need to rest and reorganize, but time waits for no one. Once Los Angeles is besieged, the Japanese army will be able to capture Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, which we just captured. , Baoding and other places cut off at the middle, if it comes, Liang Xiao's garrison in these places will be in danger."

Chen Cheng said.

"Send a report to the [-]th Army in the name of the Military and Political Council, and lead the army back to Los Angeles to participate in the defensive battle of Los Angeles."

After the commissioner finished speaking, he seemed a little embarrassed, and asked, "Cixiu, he has just been through the battle, and he hasn't caught his breath yet, so it's not appropriate to transfer him back to Shiluo City?"

"My subordinates believe that Liang Xiao is the only one who guards Los Angeles. Neiji Okamura, the commander of the [-]th Army of the Japanese Army, is a well-known expert in North China. He is cunning and insidious. My subordinates are worried that the first fighter will be able to confront him."

Chen Cheng said.

"Ningji Okamura is indeed cunning. Looking at the generals of the national army, only Liang Xiao and Xue Boling can fight against him."

The committee member pondered and said: "Xue Boling is leading the troops of the Ninth War Zone to deploy in the southwest, far away from the Central Plains. Although Liang Xiao is very close to Luocheng, he has just finished a battle in the Central Plains, and at this time he is transferring his troops back to the division. Los Angeles, it's embarrassing for me to be the principal."

Smart as Chen Cheng.

How can you not understand the subtext of the commissioner?

He hurriedly said: "Commissioner, according to my position, Liang Feiyu is the deputy commander of the third theater and the commander-in-chief of the [-]th Army, but the Central Plains area is the territory of the [-]st Theater after all, and his [-]th Army is not affiliated to the [-]st Army." The theater, if things go on like this, it will inevitably be somewhat inconsistent, how about appointing him as the deputy commander-in-chief of the first theater and the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, in charge of the battle in Los Angeles?"

"In this way, he is also the deputy commander-in-chief of the first theater and the third theater. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate?"

Appointment Road.

"Now is the time of war. Liang Feiyu is able to fight well. He is just the leader that the party and the state need to rely on. Being the deputy commander-in-chief of two theaters does not conflict. Moreover, with the prestige of a great victory, he is also the deputy commander-in-chief of the first theater. It’s also what everyone expects.”

How could Chen Cheng, couldn't tell, Liang Xiao had already been appointed as an official, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse. seat's bosom.

"Cixiu, if Liang Feiyu is promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of the first war zone, he will have the right to command Shang Zhen, Tang Enbo, and Song Zheyuan's 3rd Army. Do you think they will be convinced?"

The commissioner asked with a smile.

"Tang Enbo will definitely not be convinced. When he was in the Whampoa Military Academy, he was half an instructor of Liang Xiao. At that time, he was... the captain of the colonel's school district team. Liang Xiao was still a student soldier. It has only been a few years since the student soldier became a soldier. Lieutenant general and deputy commander-in-chief of the theater with the rank of general, and he is also the commander of the regiment with the rank of lieutenant general, he will definitely not be convinced."

Chen Cheng laughed.

"Huh, Tang Enbo is not even as good as a fool. Okamura Neiji sent troops from the southwest. He Tang Enbo had three 3rd reorganized armies. He used the terrain to resist, but he was defeated repeatedly. He was beaten by Okamura Neiji and retreated all the way in embarrassment. Los Angeles, he still has the face to be unconvinced."

The commissioner got angry when he mentioned this matter.

"Commission to calm down, this matter is not to be blamed on Tang Enbo. During the battle of Taierzhuang, his troops had already been scattered. The newly recruited soldiers had only been trained for more than two months before they were dragged into the battlefield and lost to the Japanese. Kou is also reasonable."

Chen Cheng said something fair for Tang Enbo.

"That's not an excuse for him to keep fighting and losing."

Appointment Road.

"My subordinates believe that right now is the time to employ people. Although Tang Enbo has some faults, he is loyal to the committee and the party and the country. In this battle of Los Angeles, let's see his performance. If he is still like this, then you will see him again." To deal with him, he must be convinced."

Chen Cheng also didn't want to speak for Tang Enbo, but Tang Enbo called him in advance, asking him to save face, and after much deliberation, he agreed to Tang Enbo, anyway, it was just a few good words.

"This time the Battle of Los Angeles was planned by Liang Feiyu, so Tang Enbo was assigned to serve under Liang Feiyu. I hope he won't...disappoint me again, and don't lose face to the Whampoa soldiers."

Appointment Road.

"When I have time, I will give him a call and give him some advice. I hope he can show the courage of the past and continue to deal with the Japanese aggressors."

Chen Cheng laughed.

"That's the matter, you send someone to send a report to Liang Feiyu, let him go back to Shiluo City."

The committee member was worried that something might happen to Los Angeles, so he hurriedly said.

Chapter 481 Conferring Military Ranks to His Subordinates

26 Army, Military Department.

Liang Xiao was preparing to lead the 26th Army back to Los Angeles to resist the two divisions of the [-]th Army led by Neiji Okamura.

Suddenly received a telegram from the Military and Political Council.

In the first telegram, the Military and Political Council issued a commendation order to the [-]th Group Army.

In the second telegram, the Military and Political Council, in recognition of his outstanding contributions in the Central Plains Battle, specially promoted him to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the third theater and the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the third theater. division.

In addition to the telegram from the Military and Political Council, there was also a telegram from the commissioner. In the telegram, the commissioner first praised him and asked him to continue to expand the territory of the party and country, and promised that he would wait for the war in Los Angeles After the curtain fell, Sun Bing, commander of the 66th Army, took up the post of commander-in-chief of security in Henan.

Naturally, Liang Xiao would not refuse the offer of a seat. He wants to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. The positions of the commander-in-chief of security in Henan and Hebei provinces must be in his own hands. After all, the commander-in-chief of security in these two provinces, With the right to rectify local militias and recruit soldiers, it can provide a steady stream of soldiers for the 2th Army.

Before the departure of the 26th Army.

In front of the entire army, Liang Xiao read the award telegram from the Military and Political Council.

Later, he summoned the senior generals and awarded them military ranks according to the merits of this time. The so-called military ranks are informal military ranks. Hang a military rank to facilitate their actions.

Liang Xiao now has three gold stars in the military rank, but he doesn't even have a lieutenant general under his command, which is a bit too ugly. So, with a big wave of his hand, he summoned the senior generals and conferred them with the military rank.

The promotion of the military rank is generally granted by the senior general. For example, the official rank of the commander of the division is colonel, and the commander can report to the headquarters of the group army to award him the rank of major general.
