Li Mutang was about to call the 73rd Army when he saw a staff officer from the Communications Department hurried over.
The communications staff officer walked into the office and stood at attention again, reporting to Wan Xiangyun and Li Motang: "The chief, the staff, just received a telegram from the 79th Army, saying that the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment is coming to help in large numbers, as well as a large number of cavalry and tanks.
, as a last resort, Commander Xia has ordered the two main attack groups of the 79th Army to retreat."
When besieging Feixi Town, Wang Xiyuan's 73rd Army was on the west side, and Xia Hanzhong's 79th Army was on the east side.
Therefore, Wang Xiyuan did not know the specific situation. He only knew that the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment had arrived, and the 79th Army had also begun to retreat, so he followed suit and reported to the commander of Sihe Township.
The department made a call, and this is the call Li Motang received just now.
After Xia Hanzhong ordered the retreat, he also thought about calling the headquarters, but found that the phone line had been cut off, so he could only order the Communications Office to send a telegram. As a result, the time difference caused the call from the 73rd Army to arrive first.
, and then the telegram from the 79th Army arrived immediately.
"What? The 79th Army has already retreated?!" Wan Xiangyun was furious when he heard this, "Who told them to retreat? How dare they retreat without permission from the headquarters? Is Xia Hanzhong tired of living?
!”
However, Li Mutang was more concerned about another issue and asked urgently: "Commander Li, you just said a lot of tanks?!"
"Yes." Staff officer surnamed Li nodded and said, "The telegram from the 79th Army said that there are at least 70 tanks, at least the size of a tank regiment! There are also at least one cavalry regiment plus an infantry brigade to coordinate. Seven of them
The 19th Army fought fiercely for nearly half an hour, but due to the inferior equipment and firepower, they had no choice but to retreat to preserve their remaining strength."
Xia Hanzhong was also shameless enough. In order to exonerate himself, he at least doubled the opponent's military strength.
Li Mutang knew Xia Hanzhong's virtue, but even if the number reported by the 79th Army was reduced by half, it was still a very scary number. The Dameishan Independent Regiment came to rescue Feixi this time, and it was not about how many troops were dispatched.
The key point is that armored troops were also dispatched. Even if the number reported by Xia Hanzhong is halved, there is still at least one tank battalion!
Oh my god, when did the Dameishan Independent Regiment have a battalion-level armored force? You know, even the Central Army now only has one tank regiment under Du Yuming!
This is simply scary to death!
However, Wan Xiangyun didn't understand the point clearly and kept yelling: "Xia Hanzhong is a coward and a bastard. When he comes back, I will have to remove him from his post. No, I will have to shoot him. He dared to escape from the battle.
In his eyes, does he still have me as a commander, and does the party-state still have Chairman Chiang Kai-shek?"
Li Mutang stepped forward with a gangster face and interrupted Wan Xiangyun: "Chief, the situation is very critical. Hurry up and evacuate!"
"Retreat? Why retreat?" Wan Xiangyun said angrily, "Even if the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment really arrives, our 32nd Army will not be afraid. Their Dameishan Independent Regiment can fight. Is it possible that our 32nd Army is just a vegetarian?
You need to know that we also fought all the way from the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Wuhan. Who is afraid of whom?"
Li Mutang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just when he was about to say a few more words of advice, Wan Xiangyun had already turned around and left.
"Adjutant Wang? Adjutant Wang!" Wan Xiangyun quickly returned to his office and shouted sternly, "Hurry up and pack up and go back to Dabie Mountain. By the way, don't pull down my gramophone!"
Seeing Wan Xiangyun's appearance, Li Mutang burst into laughter.
At that moment, Li Motang also hurriedly returned to the staff headquarters, commanding the operational staff of the staff department to put away the map, destroy the sand table, and then pack up various materials and prepare to evacuate.
It's just a pity that it's too late.
Because Xu Rui has personally led the Langya team to come to the door.
Originally, if it was just to rescue the Feixi Independent Regiment, Xu Rui would not have to come in person. Let alone He Shuya, the other regiment commanders and even the battalion commanders could almost stand alone, and any one of them could lead the troops.
It’s enough for the 32nd Army to drink a cup, so Xu Rui doesn’t even have to make the trip himself.
However, Xu Rui still came in person, and even brought Langya with him.
To put it bluntly, Xu Rui and the Langya troops came here for Wan Xiangyun.
Xu Rui was determined to catch Wan Xiangyun this time. Even if he didn't kill him, he would still give him some pain, at least beat him so that he would never dare to take the initiative to provoke again. In this way, the Wannan Incident two years later
This can be avoided. At the same time, Xu Rui also wanted to take this opportunity to warn Chairman Jiang: You'd better calm down.
In order to achieve this goal, Xu Rui even did not hesitate to bear another punishment.
Just when Wan Xiangyun, Li Motang and the others were packing their bags, the Wolf Fang Team had already arrived.
Lei Xiang and Tang Kaishan had been to Sihe Township before, so Xu Rui knew that the former enemy headquarters of the 32nd Army was in Sihe Township. After the troops arrived at Feixi Town, Xu Rui ordered Mei Jiuling to take full command of the attack on the people of Feixi.
In response to the army's attack, he personally led the Langya Troop across Feixi Town and headed straight for Sihe Township.
Besides, Li Motang packed up his personal belongings and turned around to call his adjutant to come in. However, he called several times and still did not see the adjutant come in. Li Motang became a little angry and wondered where the adjutant had gone? At the moment, he could only
He picked up the two heavy bags and walked out the door with difficulty.
As soon as he walked to the door, Li Motang suddenly realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Li Motang also graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and is a veteran with a keen sense of smell on the battlefield.
As soon as he walked to the door, Li Motang noticed that the situation in the staff headquarters was a little abnormal, because the staff headquarters was really too quiet at this time. Just for a short while after he returned to the dormitory to pack his luggage, the staff staff who just seemed to be extremely noisy just now
The whole place became deathly silent, which was so abnormal.
Li Motang quietly put down his luggage and took out his gun with his backhand.
However, before Li Motang could take out his pistol, a cold pipe-like object was pressed against the back of his head from behind, and then a cold voice sounded: "Don't move, I'll beat you to death if you move again!"
The cold sweat on Li Mutang's forehead fell down, and he really didn't dare to move.
In an instant, two terrifying words popped into Li Mutang's mind - wolf fangs!
The only one who could unknowingly invade the headquarters of their Thirty-Second Army and eliminate hundreds of guards and dozens of staff members in their headquarters in an instant was the legendary Wolf Fang Troop.
I had only heard that this unit was very powerful before, but today I finally learned how to do it.
Awesome, really awesome, even more powerful than the legend!
"Friends, are you the Langya troops?" Li Mutang slowly raised his hands to avoid misjudgment by Langya behind him. If Langya misjudged him by raising his hands too quickly and shot him, that would be terrible.
It was so unfair. He, Li Mutang, was not afraid of death, but he would never want to die here in such a muddle-headed manner.
"Shut up!" There was a muffled sound from behind, and then Li Mutang felt a buzzing sound on the back of his head, as if he had received a heavy blow, and then he immediately passed out and knew nothing.
When Li Motang woke up again, he found himself squatting in the yard with his hands tied.
Like Li Motang, squatting in the yard with his hands tied, there were more than a hundred officers and soldiers from the security company of the group army headquarters, as well as dozens of staff officers and miscellaneous people from the staff department. Wan Xiangyun, the commander-in-chief of the group army, was also there.
But what is strange is that Wan Xiangyun is wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier at this moment.
Realizing that Li Mutang was looking at him, Wan Xiangyun immediately shook his head slightly.
Li Mutang immediately understood that Wan Xiangyun was pretending to be a soldier in an attempt to get through. Although he was a little disdainful, he had no intention of exposing Wan Xiangyun and immediately looked away from him.
Li Motang looked around again and saw a dozen murderous Dameishan soldiers.
The military uniforms of these dozen Dameishan soldiers are very strange. Li Motang has never seen them before, and several soldiers are actually wearing rags to disguise themselves. Only ghosts can find them if they lie down in the grass, but this
Li Motang was able to recognize the sighted sniper rifles held by several soldiers. They were clearly Mauser 98K.
Soon, more than a dozen murderous Chinese soldiers walked in, herding several prisoners of war in like sheep. Li Mutang discovered that his adjutant Ma Teng Huoran was also among them. He dared not believe that this boy had left him as the chief officer and ran away.
However, he was unable to escape after all, and was still captured by the Wolf Fang troops.
After seeing Li Motang in the crowd, Ma Teng lowered his head in shame.
However, Li Mutang didn't bother to pay attention to his adjutant at all, because he saw two vigorous young men coming in, and judging from their aura and long strides, he knew that these two young men must be Dameishan
The senior officials of the Independent Regiment might be Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng.
Li Mutang's guess was correct. The two young men who strode in were Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng.
Leng Tiefeng glanced at the more than a hundred prisoners squatting in the yard and said to Xu Rui: "Old Xu, all the guards, staff and service personnel of the 32nd Army Headquarters are here."
Xu Rui hummed slightly and asked, "Veteran, are you sure you didn't miss anyone?"
"Confirm!" Leng Tiefeng said with great certainty, "There is absolutely no leakage."
"Very good." Xu Rui nodded, walked to the more than a hundred prisoners in the yard, and asked coldly, "Which one of you is Wan Xiangyun? Come forward!"
In the crowd, Wan Xiangyun immediately tightened his neck, trying to make himself less conspicuous.
Seeing that no one responded, and no one stood up, Xu Rui smiled and said: "What? You are the commander-in-chief of a group army, but you still want to imitate the coward?"
