Pang Bingxun, commander of the 24th Group Army and 40th Army, echoed: "Sir, Fang Lu is right. Now most of the troops in Zhongtiao Mountain have been dispersed. It is impossible to regroup within a week.
But the Japanese will not give us this time."
He Yingqin glared at this incompetent guy with displeasure and wanted to scold him, but seeing his gray hair and wrinkles on his face, he couldn't say any curse words.
Pang Bingxun, who is 62 years old this year, is already in his sixties, and his physical condition is not as good as before. He has submitted his resignation three times since last year, but has not been approved.
Facing this old guy who had no desires and desires, He Yingqin really didn't dare to curse, otherwise he would hang up his hat and leave in anger, and the 40th Army without his restraint would be in chaos.
Although he took this breath, he still said to everyone: "Everyone of you said that there is nothing you can do. Can't we just give up Zhongtiao Mountain to the Japanese? Once Zhongtiao Mountain is lost, you yourself know what the consequences will be.
"
Li Tiejun of the 76th Army was originally dissatisfied with the Chongqing authorities for innocently detaining his old officer Wei Lihuang. Hearing this, he said angrily: "Sir, there is nothing we can do. Unless the central government can send a plane over to help the guards at Zhongtiao Mountain."
It is best to have air weapons, ammunition and supplies for the army, and it is best to drive the Japanese planes out of Zhongtiao Mountain and let the brothers in Zhongtiao Mountain breathe. Only then can we have a chance of survival. There is no other way."
He Yingqin's face changed immediately when he heard this. If I could get a plane, I would have sent him out a long time ago. There is no need for you to chatter here. For a moment, his face turned purple with anger.
Everyone also looked strange. Since the July 7th Incident, the national army's fighter planes have been exhausted. Where do you want He Yingqin to get planes?
Seeing that He Yingqin was about to get angry, Sun Lianzhong was about to stand up and smooth things over, but suddenly his mind lit up and he shouted out loud: "Everyone, where did I think there was a plane?"
"Um?"
Everyone looked at him, and Pang Bingxun frowned, "Fang Lu, you can't talk nonsense. Where can there be planes in the central government now?"
Sun Lianzhong said: "I really am not talking nonsense. Have you forgotten the Liantai militia in the World War II zone?"
"Liantai Vigilante Group?"
After being reminded by Sun Lianzhong, everyone suddenly realized.
Pang Bingxun slapped his thigh and laughed: "This man's memory deteriorates as he gets older. How could I forget this matter?"
What Gao Hongming and the Liantai Militia have done over the past year or so have long been in the limelight. However, due to the intentional or unintentional suppression by the top leaders of the National Government, not many people remember them anymore. If Sun Lianzhong hadn't mentioned them, I'm afraid even
The higher-ups also forgot about it.
But after he was happy, Pang Bingxun asked again: "Although I have heard of this Liantai militia group, I have rarely heard from them in recent times. But in my opinion, even if they have planes, they only have three or two at best.
It’s so high up in the sky, what’s the use of a plane like this?”
After being reminded by Sun Lianzhong, He Yingqin immediately thought of the intelligence sent by the Central Commander some time ago, and said quietly: "Brother Gengchen, don't underestimate that Gao Hongming.
Do you still remember when Yan Baichuan sent the Thirteenth Army to counterattack Xinkou some time ago?"
Everyone nodded, and Li Tiejun said: "Of course I remember. I didn't expect the Jinsui Army to be tougher this time. Although the Thirteenth Army fell short in the end, they were able to clear out the Japanese troops outside Xinkou and annihilate both Japanese troops within a few days."
A regiment, and its own losses were less than one battalion, this combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated."
He Yingqin snorted lightly, "It's not that I look down on him, Yan Baichuan. If the Jinsui Army could really eat two Japanese regiments at the cost of losing one battalion in three days, the Jinsui Army would have recovered Taiyuan long ago, and they would still use their nests."
In the nook of the mountain in Kenanpo?"
Li Tiejun was surprised and said: "Could it be that Chief Yan lied about the military situation? With his qualifications and reputation, it shouldn't be possible, right?"
"Of course he did not lie about the military situation." He Yingqin said angrily: "The record of the Thirteenth Army is also true, but he missed one thing, that is, during the battle of the Thirteenth Army's counterattack at Xinkou, they got Gao Hongming's
Full support.
Gao Hongming sent dozens of fighter jets and bombers for air support, and only after the planes blew up all the Japanese bunkers and positions did the Thirteenth Group Army capture the Japanese positions."
After hearing He Yingqin's words, everyone suddenly realized.
Li Tiejun even louder said: "Let me tell you, when did those cowards of the Jinsui Army become so brave? It turned out that they relied on airplanes to capture the outer positions of Xinkou?"
Sun Lianzhong's eyes also shone: "Sir, in that case, please give an order directly in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs to transfer the flying brigade over and ask them to immediately support Zhongtiao Mountain. There are already dozens of aircraft."
, it shouldn’t be a problem to hold the Japanese back for a few days.”
He Yingqin said nothing, and then Sun Lianzhong remembered that the other party was a militia group and did not even have military membership.
Not having military status means that you don’t have a serial number, and you haven’t received a penny of military pay or a bullet from the Ministry of Military Affairs. Why should people listen to you?
Not just him, other people naturally thought of this too.
No one expected that such a powerful force was not in the combat organization and order of the national army. A group of senior generals looked at each other, and a feeling called embarrassment filled the room.
Sun Lianzhong took out a box of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and put the cigarette box on the table in front of him. After lighting it, he took a few puffs and said harshly: "Damn it, a living person can choke to death with urine, don't try it.
How do you know if it works? Chief He, I think you should contact Chief Yan immediately, ask him for the communication password of the Liantai Militia, and then contact him to see if you can persuade him to send out his flying brigade."
"I think it would be better if we could convince him to send troops directly." Li Tiejun added on the side.
After seeing everyone's surprised looks, Li Tiejun said: "Sir, please don't forget that last year, the Liantai Militia Group faced two Japanese divisions alone at Qingyuan River in Hebei Province, and the 16th Division was even attacked by him with poison gas bombs.
He was disabled and has not regained his strength until now. If the Liantai Vigilante Group is also brought over, there will be no need to worry about him not paying attention."
"Commander Li, don't think about letting him lead the troops here in person. It would be nice if he could send the plane over." Pang Bingxun seemed more pessimistic.
"How will you know if someone is willing to come over if you don't try?" He Yingqin reached for the cigarette case in front of Sun Lianzhong and lit one. His face became particularly gloomy amid the smoke, "Now Zhongtiao Mountain is in danger, no matter whether it works or not
