Of course, what surprised Wei Lihuang, who was then one of the commanders-in-chief of the former enemy, was not the combat effectiveness of this defeated army.
No matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it is only a mere 3,000 soldiers. In order to annihilate the ace division of the 19th Route Army, which was basically crippled, he dispatched a full force of 40,000 troops to surround it on three sides. On the other side was the Guangdong warlord Chen
The boss's division had tens of thousands of people. In order to ensure that Cai Tingkai's hardcore troops were completely wiped out, he negotiated with Mr. Chen and received a rare initiative from Mr. Chen to ask for a fight.
A division from the defense area where the fighting was taking place came to contain it, and it was absolutely flawless.
However, even under such a dragnet, this lone army was indeed a strong force that could compete with the Japanese invaders in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War two years ago. First, they sent a small group of well-equipped and well-trained troops to directly defeat them.
The encirclement is the headquarters of a brigade responsible for flank defense.
Then the brigade headquarters phone was used to directly order the two main battalions to move to friendly positions fifteen miles away. According to the memories of the two main battalion commanders, the voice on the phone that issued the military order was the voice of their major general and brigade commander.
There will be mistakes.
The two main battalions quickly assembled and rushed to the garrison. For this reason, they almost did not join the friendly troops who had already entered the position. It was not until the division headquarters heard the news and contacted the brigade commander who issued the ridiculous order that something was wrong.
.
By the time the two main battalions rushed back in panic, the three thousand lone troops had already charged with all their strength. It only took less than half an hour to completely defeat the position where the three battalions were still stationed, and rushed out of the encirclement.
.
This was not a big deal, it was because of their strong fighting ability. But what made Wei Lihuang almost lose his breath and vomit blood was the brigade commander who was the major general under his command.
The brigade headquarters that issued the strange military order was discovered by the reinforcements half an hour later. Although it can be said that the entire army was wiped out, no one in the entire brigade headquarters was killed or injured. From the major general to the brigade commander, there were a group of colonels and lieutenants.
Including ordinary soldiers, they were all tied tightly to the big tree where the brigade headquarters was located. What was written under the feet of the major general whose face was almost the color of pig liver was: The Chinese do not kill Chinese, we just want to fight.
Japanese little devil.
As soon as the news spread, the morale of the entire 40,000-strong army involved in the siege suddenly dropped sharply.
Yes! Those so-called enemies are not only Chinese, they were our own people, and they were our own people who fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders.
General Wei, who almost vomited three liters of blood, wanted to shoot the idiot who had brought the morale of the entire army to the bottom, if he didn't admit his mistake honestly.
But not only did the major general and brigade commander deny that he had issued that ridiculous military order, but the dozen or so officers who were tied to him wanted to swear to God that they, the unlucky commander, had been tied to them from the beginning.
, there was absolutely no time to make a phone call. The guys in tattered military uniforms seemed not to be interested in the major general at all, and they tied and gagged him and never bothered him again.
In his rage, Mr. Wei forgot that there is something called ventriloquism in this world.
Of course, this was done by the special brigade led by Yu Xiancheng. In order to facilitate communication, the special brigade learned to sing like birds and insects as a compulsory course. There are also several talents who can imitate people's speech perfectly.
This attack was a strategy that was formulated after several days of discussion between Yu Xiancheng and the commander of the 19th Route Army in the encirclement, General Zhang Yan, who was then the commander of the Fourth Army of the People's Revolutionary Army.
Looking at Zhang Yan's name in Yu Xiancheng's battle report, Liu Lang's frown relaxed a little. There were many patriotic generals in the 19th Route Army, but Zhang Yan was patriotic, capable of fighting, and had a firm will.
There is only one general who is not willing to fight a civil war.
In the past time and space, this was the commander of the main brigade of the 19th Route Army who fought the most tenaciously against the Japanese in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. In the Battle of Miaoxing, he personally led a group of his men to fight the Japanese Seventh Regiment in a bloody battle. After the war
, a regiment of 1,500 people can finally stand on its own, but it only has 350 people, which shows how heroic and brave its people are. Mao Weishou's Blue Sky and White Sun Medal is at least more than half of his.
Originally, after the failure of the Fujian Incident, Zhang Yan did not move to Hong Kong like the other senior generals who were forced to surrender. Instead, he was appointed by the bald boss as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Seventh Route Army, but he refused. He then went abroad for inspection.
European, American, Soviet and other countries finally returned to China on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War and cooperated deeply with the Red Party members to carry out the guerrilla war behind enemy lines in Guangdong Province. If it were not for his close contact with the Red Party, he was suspected by the bald boss and dismissed from all his positions and ultimately died in vain.
By helping the villain, Liu Lang has reason to believe that not only will he become a famous general in the Anti-Japanese War, but he will also have a place on the list of generals of the future Republic.
Due to the emergence of the special brigade, the stubborn rut of history has finally undergone some small changes. If Liu Lang's guess is correct, the reason why Wei Lihuang was able to mobilize an army of 30,000 to besiege the last resistance force of the 19th Route Army, then
This is because the other two armies have been forced to stop resisting and accept adaptation in the face of the crisis.
But they didn't know what this adaptation would mean. Although the bald man was concerned about public opinion and did not kill as much as he did the Red Party members, he dismissed all officers above the platoon level. That means that the number of this team is tens of thousands.
The combat effectiveness of a powerful army that could compete with a Japanese division as long as it was adequately equipped was reduced by 80%.
No matter how brave the soldiers are, but they have lost their command, their combat effectiveness can only be imagined.
In the past time and space, the 19th Route Army was not completely wiped out. Chen, who was good at management, while trying to please the bald boss, quietly gathered more than 4,000 defeated troops of the 19th Route Army.
His subordinates, however, lacked the firm belief in defending the country and the nation from top to bottom, and the incorporated army no longer had the strength of the past.
But now, Zhang Yan led a 3,000-man troop with the help of the special brigade to break through the encirclement and rush towards the last place of hope.
Wei Lihuang, who was the best at calculating in the government, was most surprised by this. He didn't understand how the military vacuum zone forty miles away could be surrounded and surrounded by the outside world after only issuing military orders for a few hours.
The information was learned by troops who knew nothing about it.
He was sure that they must have obtained the intelligence, otherwise they would not have rushed there without hesitation and in the right direction, as if they had placed an eye in the sky. As his army was chasing after them, they had successfully entered Guangdong.
High mountains.
Although Wei Lihuang had doubted Boss Chen, not only did he not dare to say it, but even the bald boss couldn't say it without real evidence in his hands. He had already forced the 19th Route Army to rebel. Could it be that
Want to force Guangdong back again? That means returning to the rhythm of the Central Plains war.
Both Mr. Chen and Fan Xudong pretended that this had never happened. As for Huashang Group, it was not written in the business contract that the agreement to donate 1 million cash in foreign currency to Guangdong Province for the purchase of military equipment would be effective for one year.
The Guangdong Huashang Group branch only needs to send 100,000 silver dollars to Mr. Chen's house every year.
At this time of year, it is normal for merchants to give some gifts to the head of a province, even if the gifts are a little frequent, but the Chinese business group is rich, why don't you let them give them!
There is nothing wrong with all of this.
More than 3,000 people led by Zhang Yan escaped into Guangdong. Wei Lihuang's 30,000 troops naturally could no longer pursue them. That was Big Brother Chen's defense zone. Without Big Boss Chen's warrant, the bald boss's military orders would not work.
Liu Lang could even imagine that when the news reached Nanjing, the bald man would throw the cup and curse Niang Xipi again.
Of course, entering Guangdong does not mean that everything will be worry-free. One million silver dollars can allow Mr. Chen to quietly open a back door, but it is not that simple to keep Zhang Yan's three thousand troops. Once upon a time, time and space
When Boss Zhongchen gathered the thousands of defeated troops, he also worked quietly, not under the eyes of tens of thousands of bald bosses.
Face is a matter of giving to each other!
Fortunately, Liu Lang also has a beautiful journalist friend. Before the bald boss could strictly order Boss Chen to send troops to destroy these disobedient guys, several major domestic newspapers reprinted the article that became popular all over the country because of the Great Wall Battlefield Diary.
Beautiful reporter Liu Xueyuan came from the front line of Fujian to report.
Of course, the focus of the article is just to elaborate on the glorious achievements of General Zhang Yan and his army in the several-month battle against the Japanese invaders in Songhu in 1932.
At this time, the whole country was in an uproar. A heroic army that had sacrificed its life and blood to defend the country was fine because it wanted to resist Japan and refused to accept the leadership of the central government and was defeated by the dominant national government. But killing them all like this is too much.
.
At this time, there was no Internet for people to vent their dissatisfaction. The way for people to express their dissatisfaction was to go to the streets to march and petition. This is what will often appear in future TV series, where ordinary people shout slogans under the student organization that can be called angry youth.
Scenes of walking around the streets.
Needless to say, this kind of thing is actually quite effective. At least Mr. Chen was forced by the pressure and telexed several letters of love to the bald man for the 3,000 troops who had been surrounded in his territory. The bald man thought about it again and again, and could only
Ordering these 3,000 people to be demobilized on the spot in Guangdong Province also wiped out some of the small ideas of Mr. Chen who was still harboring small thoughts.
Anyway, he made a fortune, so Mr. Chen no longer demanded too much. But he would not pay the severance pay. In the end, it was donated by patriotic businessmen from Guangdong Province. Ordinary soldiers were given 10 yuan in travel expenses each, and officers were given 20 yuan in travel expenses.
, everyone, etc., will all be repatriated to their places of origin. Zhang Yan and other officers above the rank of major general will be assigned military positions by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Of course, Zhang Yan refused just like before.
The last 3,000 essence of the 19th Route Army disappeared in Guangdong Province.
