Chapter 246 Commanders like subordinates who are not afraid of death
"That's right, it's Luo Wenyu. If the Japanese army is frustrated at Xifengkou, they will definitely turn to attack Luo Wenyu. If our regiment sticks to Luo Wenyu, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the main position of Xifengkou, and at the same time, it can also protect the Pingdong defenders.
The rear wing." Liu Lang looked at Marshal Zhang with bright eyes.
He believed in the vision of this young commander. Although his military reputation was not obvious during the entire Anti-Japanese War, if he was born in a military family and had a father who was famous as the "Kwantung King", if he could not see through this,
It is really a waste of the admiration of countless people in future generations for his legendary life.
"If the Japanese army wants to attack, it will have to send out heavy troops. You are just a regiment, are you sure you can hold it? You have to know that if your analysis is correct, the safety of tens of thousands of our troops in the Pingdong area is entirely in your hands." Zhang Xueliang.
After thinking for a long time, his eyes flashed, and he stared at Liu Lang and asked.
Until this moment, Zhang Xueliang's aura as the commander-in-chief of the party was fully revealed. Not to mention Liu Lang, a small regiment leader, even a division commander with a weaker aura would probably not dare to look at him.
The safety of tens of thousands of troops is entirely in your hands. It's easy to say it, but the chill in it is profound. If the position is lost, it will be a matter of military discipline. To put it in the most straightforward terms, if you can't hold it, you...
The leader of the group wants to come and see you.
"So, please Marshal, please give me enough time. As long as I have enough time to complete the fortifications, our independent regiment will surely coexist with the position." Liu Lang faced the powerful northern military leader and said,
But he was not timid at all. He stood straight and raised his head as he answered.
If it were any other place, Liu Lang might not be completely sure yet.
But the Battle of the Great Wall was the subject of Liu Lang's graduation thesis at the Nanjing Army Command College in his previous life.
Especially for Luo Wenyu, if one of the defenders built complete fortifications in advance to lure most of the enemy troops to come, combined with the dangerous mountain terrain, they would surely inflict heavy losses on the Japanese aggressors.
Liu Lang even put forward a point in his paper that as long as the commander of the entire battle had enough courage, he could even have a battle with the Japanese army around this place.
Because of Liu Lang's firm judgment, the Japanese army, which suffered heavy losses, would definitely mobilize more troops to attack Luo Wenyu, just like the Battle of the Five Sacred Mountains on the northern battlefield.
The prerequisite for attracting the Japanese army to attack the important place where they shed blood like moths to a flame is to kill and injure a lot. The reason is very simple. The arrogance of the Japanese army does not allow them to accept such a tragic defeat. The only way to wash away their shame is to
It can capture the target and tear the defenders into pieces.
This is what they will do in Nanjing in the future.
Liu Lang's final thesis on Army Command was ranked first among the graduates of that year, with a perfect score.
Now, Liu Lang has finally moved his thesis into reality. The only difference is that the defensive force he needed to use in the thesis was a brigade, but now, the force he has in hand is a regiment.
However, the firepower configuration of the independent regiment, which has been accumulated for half a year, is much stronger than that of a brigade of the national army.
"Okay, you are worthy of being awarded the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun. Since you have such vision and courage, what if I, Zhang Xueliang, trust you once?" Zhang Xueliang glanced at Liu Lang appreciatively and slapped the large meeting.
growled softly on the table.
"You can garrison Luo Wenyu with your independent regiment, but I no longer have engineers in my hands, so I can't give you support. You can only rely on yourselves. But I promise you to ask for help from the Xifengkou garrison when the war is urgent, and they will definitely give it to you.
Enough support, if you have any other requirements, you can tell me."
"Thank you Commander for your kindness. Liu Lang has no other request. He only hopes that the committee can support some medicines. The officers and soldiers of our independent regiment would rather die on the battlefield than die in a hospital bed due to lack of medical treatment and medicine."
"allow."
.......
It wasn't until Liu Lang's figure disappeared outside the thick wooden door that Zhang Xueliang withdrew his gaze.
I have to say that the little colonel, who was rather fat and didn't have much military temperament, gave him a moderate surprise, and even a hint of unspeakable admiration.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had returned such a standard military salute, but the little colonel did it.
In terms of strategic vision, Liu Lang didn't show much brilliance just now. It can be said that everyone knew the dilapidated situation in Rehe as early as March before, and it was almost inevitable to rely on the dangerous terrain of the Great Wall to defend.
But not every soldier rushes to the battlefield with the determination to die like Liu Lang, especially a unit like him who is affiliated with the Central Army and only comes to support.
While the old man was encircling and suppressing the "Red Bandits" with heavy troops, he was able to agree to mobilize three divisions affiliated with the Central Army to participate in the war in the north. In Zhang Xueliang's view, it was not so much to defend the country's territory as to express his attitude to the whole country and to show that he was Chiang Kai-shek.
It's just someone's determination to fight the Japanese army.
As for the result, Zhang Xueliang's eyes were filled with flames. I was afraid that once he was defeated, he would be the target of public criticism.
Zhang Xueliang, who has been in China's top political circles for many years, is by no means as shallow as many people think. Even if he lives in seclusion, he has lived into the 21st century, and all his peers who have fought against him have died in front of him.
.
After receiving Zhang Xueliang's warrant, Liu Lang was in a good mood. Although he did not get any substantial benefits from meeting the Northern Commander-in-Chief, he finally got the battlefield he hoped for most.
Regarding the Battle of the Great Wall in which the independent regiment participated, Liu Lang increased his confidence in winning to 50% for the first time.
As long as Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army defending Xifengkou can kill the Japanese with heavy casualties like in history, he can beat the Japanese again in Luo Wenyu until their mothers don't recognize them.
With the order from the Supreme Commander of the North, everything was easy to handle. Liu Lang thought for a while and saw that there was still plenty of time, so he gave the logistics department half a day to carry out a large purchase of materials.
Liang Wenzhong, the general manager of the Logistics Department, stayed at the base. His deputy, a lieutenant named Wu Zhongming, who replaced Liang Wenzhong on the front line, was usually taciturn and cherished his words like gold. Liang Wenzhong valued his calmness and reliability and specialized in bringing generals from the frontline troops.
He is coming to serve as the deputy of the garrison battalion.
I don’t know what Liu Lang said to Wu Zhongming. He was unusually cautious, carrying bags after bags of cash, and swept away the 300 sheep that had been slaughtered in a large slaughterhouse on the outskirts of Peking.
, fully filled a truck, which resulted in more than half of the restaurants in Peiping having no mutton supply that day. At the same time, they also purchased 100,000 jins of rice noodles and 100,000 jins of cabbage, which made the grain merchants in Peiping just say that the Central Army is really rich.
If it were other units of the Northeast Army, one hundred thousand catties of cabbage would probably be the main theme.
When Zhang Xueliang heard about the huge reputation of the Independent Group's crazy purchasing in Peiping, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. No wonder Liu Lang didn't want his food and salary. Sure enough, the food and salary were sufficient, but he was being petty.
Liu Lang frantically showed off in Peiping, and then took the men, horses and supplies towards the Xifengkou Great Wall, which was 500 miles away.
