In the suburbs of Xuzhou, Baoshan Brigade Headquarters.
When Yue Weihan was discussing tactics with a dozen of his battalion and regiment-level officers, guard Chu Zhongtian suddenly walked in in a hurry, stood at attention and saluted: "Report!"
Yue Weihan said without looking back: "Is there someone from the chief's department?"
"No." Chu Zhongtian shook his head and said, "No one from the commander's department came, but the 27th Group Army stationed in Liuzhuang is gathering and seems to be going to the front line."
"Huh?" Yue Weihan suddenly turned around and said, "27th Army?"
"27th Group Army?" Liu Yi said, "Didn't they just withdraw a few days ago? Why do they want to attack again?"
"His grandma's." Chi Chengfeng said angrily, "The hotel seat, why is it still not our Baoshan Travel?"
"What are you shouting about?" Yue Weihan glared at Chi Chengfeng fiercely, then turned back to Chu Zhongtian and said, "Let's go to Liuzhuang to have a look."
…
Liu Zhuang, Headquarters of the 27th Sichuan Army.
Although Yang Sen's 27th Group Army is called a group army, it actually has only one army, the 20th Army. Yang Sen personally serves as the commander. The 20th Army has two divisions, 133 and 134.
At this time, Yang Sen was issuing combat orders to his two division commanders and the guard commander.
"The Japs have planes to assist us during the day, which is disadvantageous to us, so we changed this attack to night!"
"The 133rd Division attacks from the north, and the 134th Division attacks from the south. There is no feint attack. The main attack is from the north and the south. You go back and tell the brigade commander and regiment commander under you that I, Yang Sen, have already issued a military order to Commander-in-Chief Li. If we return this time,
If I can’t take Hanzhuang, I would rather kill myself to thank the world!”
"While the 133rd and 134th Divisions were fighting fiercely with the Japs, the guard regiment secretly moved to the east of Hanzhuang and waited until almost all of the Japs' garrison forces were attracted to the north and south wings of Hanzhuang. If you suddenly launch a sudden attack, I will
I don’t believe it, I can’t fucking kill these little devils this time!”
"Report!" The guard suddenly came in to report, "Baoshan Brigade Commander Yue Weihan has come to pay his respects."
"Yue Weihan?" Yang Sen frowned and said, "What is this pretty boy doing here? No, I'm not free now..."
"Commander Yang!" Before Yang Sen finished speaking, Yue Weihan had already barged in and said, "I have often heard people say that Sichuan people are hospitable, but what Commander Yang did is probably not the way to treat guests, right?"
Yang Sen quickly put on a smile, clasped his fists and bowed: "The war is about to begin, and military affairs are busy. I hope that I will forgive you."
Although Yang Sen is an army general and a dignified group army commander, he never dares to show any slightness to Yue Weihan, a small major general and brigade commander, because everyone knows that Yue Weihan was born in Huangpu and is also the hometown of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
Within two years at most, this guy will definitely be promoted to Army General.
Yang Sen can become one of the four major warlords in Sichuan and gather such a large force. What kind of talent and vision does he have? How can he neglect a promising young officer like Yue Weihan? Of course, Yang Sen respects him more.
The illustrious military exploits of Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Brigade!
"Commander Yang." Yue Weihan stood at attention and said in a sincere tone, "I heard your combat orders just now. Is there something you want to say that you don't know whether to say or not?"
"You should speak, you should speak." Yang Sen said with a smile, "Brother, please speak."
Yue Weihan said solemnly: "We have been fighting against the Japs for more than a day or two. We have learned a lot about the abilities of the divisions and brigade-level commanders of the Japs. Although we feel uncomfortable in our hearts, we have to admit that the Japs
The tactical literacy of those Japanese commanders is indeed outstanding, Commander Yang, what do you think?"
Yang Sen took it seriously and said: "What I said is true. The Japs are not only powerful in the air force and artillery, but their commander is indeed not a vegetarian."
Yue Weihan said: "Commander Yang, is it possible for your plan of seizing the east and attacking the west to deceive the little devil's commander?"
"This..." Yang Sen suddenly became speechless. With the tactical proficiency displayed by the Japanese commanders, it was obviously impossible to deceive them by simply making false claims to the east and attacking in the west.
Yue Weihan said again: "Commander Yang, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
"I'm willing to listen, I'm willing to listen." Yang Sen said repeatedly, "I'm all ears, haha."
Yue Weihan nodded and said: "I hope that the 27th Army can give up the frontal large-scale group charge, and instead choose soil work, dig tunnels to get close to the front of the Japanese position, and wait until it is within 50 meters before launching a large-scale charge! In this way
, which can greatly offset the Japanese army’s firepower advantage.”
In fact, Yue Weihan had already made a similar suggestion to the Chief Executive Department, but it was rejected.
"Hey, what I said is wrong." Yang Sen immediately frowned and said with some displeasure, "Our Sichuan Army's equipment is very poor, but it is still a regular army, so how can it be like a groundhog digging holes in the ground? This kind of
Only the Tubal Road and the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party are willing to do this, and we cannot let ourselves lose our worth."
Yue Weihan could only sigh. As expected, Yang Sen's reaction after hearing this suggestion was the same as that of other senior generals of the national army. They all believed that civil engineering work was not something that the regular army should do. In fact, Yang Sen was being polite. At the time, Yue Weihan
When he made similar suggestions to Tang Enbo, he was even directly reprimanded by Tang Enbo!
"Brother, Mr. Yang appreciates your kindness." Yang Sen tugged on the gray cloth military uniform on his body and said, "But after all, Mr. Yang has been fighting for his whole life. There is no need for others to teach you how to fight this battle.
Yang is busy with military affairs, so he will send you off not far away. Brigadier Yue, please help yourself."
At the end of the sentence, Yang Sen's tone was already quite indifferent, and the two Sichuan Army division commanders next to him had even worse expressions. Yue Weihan smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to turn around and leave unhappy.
…
Midnight, outside Hanzhuang.
As two red signal flares were launched into the air, an overwhelming roar suddenly rang out in the wilderness on the north and south sides of Hanzhuang. The Japanese troops stationed in Hanzhuang quickly fired two flares. Suddenly, the area around Hanzhuang was lit up for more than ten miles.
It was like daytime, and under the flares as dazzling as the sun, thousands of Sichuan Army soldiers were charging forward fiercely with their backs bent!
Just as they crossed the two-thousand-meter line, the heavy machine guns on the Japanese army's position burst into flames!
Dozens of Type 92 heavy machine guns intertwined into a fire network with no blind spots, like the scythe of death, harvesting the lives of the Sichuan soldiers one by one. However, the Sichuan soldiers never hesitated for a moment, let alone flinched in the slightest.
Still charging against the dense Japanese firepower, charge, charge again!
On the Hanzhuang position, dozens of Japanese heavy machine gunners have been completely smoked by the gunpowder smoke!
The 30-round magazine was fired one after another, the barrel of the gun was red, soaked in urine and fired again. All the machine gunners had been shot until their arms were sore and dizzy, but the gray crowd in front of them was still continuous.
Ups and downs, still rolling towards Hanzhuang one after another like ocean waves.
In the Japanese command post, Major General Lai Wuping, commander of the 8th Brigade, put down his telescope and said in a serious tone: "The Chinese people are crazy. They know that it is impossible to rush through our firepower net, but they still rush forward one after another.
This is really a group of desperate outlaws! They are simply a group of trapped beasts that were enraged!"
Major General Kei Setani, commander of the 33rd Brigade, said solemnly: "Laiwu-kun, don't you think the Chinese people are a little abnormal?"
"Well..." Major General Lai Wuping said with deep understanding, "The behavior of the Chinese people tonight is indeed a bit abnormal."
"If something goes wrong, it must be a monster!" Major General Kei Setani said, "Obviously, the Chinese are trying to cover up some of their intentions with a desperate charge at any cost."
"Intention?" Major General Lai Wuping said, "Setani-kun, what do you mean..."
Major General Kei Setani said: "Yiwu-kun, don't you think the east side is a little unusually quiet?"
"Could it be that the east is the main direction of the Chinese attack?" Lai Wuping suddenly turned his head, and Setani Kai smiled and nodded.
…
Five miles east of Hanzhuang, there is a wilderness.
More than two thousand officers and soldiers of the 27th Group Army's direct guard regiment were lying quietly on the cold ground. With the bright light of the flares rising from time to time, the tragic battlefield scenes on the north and south sides of Hanzhuang could be seen clearly. Looking at the people who usually get along day and night.
Brothers fell one by one under the gunfire of the Japanese army, and the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment were heartbroken!
Yang Xiong, the leader of the guard regiment, almost broke his steel teeth!
At a certain moment, when Yang Xiong was almost suffocating in pain, three red flares finally rose southwest of Hanzhuang.
Yang Xiong immediately turned over and jumped up. The ghost-headed sword slung over his shoulder was in his hand in an instant. The sharp blade was raised forward and he roared at the top of his lungs: "Guard regiment, attack..."
Before the roar ended, Yang Xiong suddenly turned around and charged forward with the ghost-headed sword raised high!
"Kill, kill, kill..." More than 2,000 Sichuan soldiers stood up and roared at the top of their lungs. Immediately holding old sleeves with good bayonets in their hands, Hanyang Zao swarmed towards Hanzhuang.
"Whoops!" Amidst the shrill scream, another flare slowly rose into the sky.
Through the bright light emitted by the flares, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side saw the most shocking scene of a desperate charge in their lives. On the flat and open ground, thousands of Chinese soldiers straightened their backs, holding bayonets and marching wildly.
Howling like wolves and running like bison, they swarmed toward their position.
"This is a respectable army!" In the headquarters, Major General Kei Setani put down his telescope and said solemnly, "No matter who wins or loses in this battle, they are worthy of the title of soldiers!"
"Well." At this moment, Major General Lai Wuping's expression was also extremely serious, and he said, "If all Chinese armies were like this army, it would be almost impossible for the Japanese Empire to conquer the entire China! Lord Setake, maybe
We were really wrong. After gaining the whole of Manchuria, we should not continue to expand the situation."
"Yoritake-kun, you and I are soldiers, and political considerations have nothing to do with us." Major General Kei Setani shook his head, and immediately turned back to Colonel Akashiba Yaezo, the captain of the 10th Regiment behind him, and said, "Akashiba-kun, command the front line.
Position, make way for the Chinese troops on the opposite side to come in!"
"Hai!" Colonel Chichai lowered his head suddenly and immediately took the order and left.
