Chapter 161: Fight

"Report, Langfang Battle Report."
In Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek was just about to exchange views with He Yingqin on how to start the Tianjin-Beijing campaign. An attendant reported from outside with a vocal cord, expressing an urgent report.
The Chairman of the Committee was pleased. Did Chen Cheng make a contribution in Langfang again?
"This Chen Cheng, Major General Bing, is good at being able to defend Langfang. A big victory is still to be fought for."
"The chairman said that if this battle can achieve the basic combat objectives, the three Japanese divisions will be severely defeated, or even wiped out by us. The years of military reforms have begun to bear fruit, and the combat effectiveness of the Central Division is far from General Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army is comparable. "He Ying said with a smile on his face, and occasionally saying a few words of compliment to the chairman can also ease the relationship between each other.
"Where, Han Qing ’s troops blocked the Japanese army ’s southward movement, which is also a great achievement. Unfortunately, the army ’s equipment is low and the quality of its personnel is low. In the final analysis, it is also the local army. If you give me Jiang some time, you ca n’t train There are hundreds of thousands of editors. I do n’t want to wait any longer.

Chiang Kai-shek calmly received the telegram in the hand of the servant, and then read it, but in a flash, the joy on his face disappeared, and he said to the servant who was still immersed in the battle report, "Go on."
He Yingqin stepped back slightly, but found something, and was not curious about the content of the battle report. He couldn't help but look at the back of the attendant, and maybe the attendant's room improved the newcomer soon.
"Huh, how did Chen Cheng fight. The strength of the two divisions was actually worthy of the four words." Chairman Jiang seemed to have forgotten his self-ridicule and said to himself that he handed the telegram to He Yingqin and signaled him. Look, "King of it, look at how Chen Cheng fought."
He Yingqin took the battle report, and found the problem in a simple scan. The content of the battle report was not much. It was roughly divided into two messages. One was the two divisions of the National Army, which respectively guarded the front and right wing defense lines of Langfang. The fierce offensive caused huge casualties. The only result was the annihilation of thousands of Japanese invaders. The air force needed Yunyun's support.
The second news is the battle report of the vanguard of the 19th Route Army against Japan.
According to the battle report, this vanguard has advanced weapons and equipment, and has some unheard of weapons. In the early hours of May 7, the Japanese army attacked the front and right wing. Actually, with a troop-led force, they attacked the left and right positions guarded by the Southwest Army.
The results were very great, just two forward positions guarded by the company, with the cooperation of some advanced weapons, slaughtered a large group of Japanese troops in front of the positions. The whole process was extremely easy. In addition to the Japanese bombardment, there was a certain amount of damage. The Japanese from the Air Force to the Army were subject to corresponding restraints. They shot down 11 Japanese aircraft and destroyed 21 armored vehicles. Although they did not capture many Japanese troops, they seized countless weapons and ammunition. .
The Japanese army, which saw a bad situation, still launched an alliance-scale attack. Unfortunately, this attack also ended hastily. The intensive firepower of the Southwest Army was like harvesting rice. Any Japanese army that could storm the first 50 meters of the trenches. May Day was spared. After losing more than 400 people again, the Japanese retreated and temporarily made a more reckless attack.
"Commissioned, is the combat effectiveness of a regiment of the Southwest Army so strong? From the analysis of the Intelligence Special Branch, the combat effectiveness of the Southwest Army is not so strong." As a senior general of the National Army, He Yingqin naturally knew the goods. " Intensive firepower, besides submachine guns, what new weapons are they equipped with? "
Jiang Jieshi snorted softly. "The people of Teke are afraid that they have done a lot of whitewashing. The results of the analysis are too ugly, and some people are afraid that they will not be good in front of their bosses."
He Yingqin secretly said that whoever said that the commission was unwise, it seemed that he was pretending not to know about many things. "Severe punishment should be severely punished."
"These are small things. The immediate task is to urge the ministries to speed up the drawing." Chiang Kai-shek was a little annoyed. The central division was okay. He could board the car tomorrow, but the second division near Zhengding was extremely slow, at least one day longer. To get there.
He Yingqin combined with the war report and said with confidence, "Chairman rest assured, as long as we urge more, Zheng Ding Song Zheyuan and Shandong Han Fuqu can be of great use. These old people of Feng Yuxiang were crying and shouting to resist Japan. I see that the main forces of these two people should be able to catch up with the battle. In addition to the two reinforcements of the Central Division and the two Class A divisions, and more than 100,000 troops, the Japanese army could hardly fly. "
"I hope so." Chiang Kai-shek also thought about it. The Japanese army was not as powerful as expected. Although Chen Cheng's 18th Route Army was also killed or injured, he at least held Langfang and did not lose Beiping at a stretch. This was at least Nanjing has won considerable public opinion across the country.
Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose, Xu Da is not allowed to retreat.
After He Yingqin left, Jiang Jieshi picked up the confidential phone and asked, "Can the two squadrons of Gao Zhihang participate in the battle tomorrow?"
"The report took a seat. The aircraft has been overhauled and will be able to participate in the battle tomorrow. At present, the airport is all safe and has not encountered a Japanese air strike. The deputy captain of Gao Zhihang is taking off guard in person."
"Very well, it costs a lot for the party-state to train you, and I hope you can come up with a result that pleases the people and me."
Putting down the phone, Jiang Jieshi couldn't calm down for a long time, looking at the giant Chinese map on the wall, deliberately ignoring the large red area marked in the southwest, Wanliheshan, why did Chiang Jieshi want to throw it to the Japanese, and he didn't want to learn The ancients talked about the grandeur of laughter and ash.
In the negotiations, he insisted on not allowing the Southwest Air Force to go northward because of his long-term consideration. First of all, once the Southwest Air Force enters the hinterland of its sphere of influence and cooperates with the so-called 19th Route Army of the Southwest Anti-Japanese War, it will make him sleepless.
The strength of the Southwest Air Force has been heard for a long time. If after the battle, this powerful Air Force would cover the so-called 19th Route Army from defending the enemy to staying away, fearing that Shanxi and other places would be lost. What's more, keeping Southwest in a strong air force in Tianjin and Beijing is not conducive to Nanjing's control of North China. What worries Chiang Kai-shek most is that in the event that Zhang Xueliang in the northeast and the southwest go closer ...
Maybe at the beginning, the Southwest Air Force will sincerely assist Zhang Xueliang to suppress the Japanese army, and even rely on air superiority to obtain partial victory, but over time, the influence of Nanjing? What about party-state influence?
Not to mention, the greater the victory, the greater the profit in the Southwest.
This battle between Tianjin and Beijing needs to be won, but the Southwest Army and Air Force should not sing the main show together, but should only be part of it. After all, the meaning of an army backed by a powerful air force and a southwestern army that joins more than 100,000 Kuomintang troops to jointly resist Japan is completely different.
People will inevitably feel that more people must play a large role. Although the Southwest has also contributed, it is only a minority of the army. Nanjing is the main force, and it has exhausted 100,000 troops in the provinces near Tianjin.
"It's a great victory. Happy, happy."
In Kunming, Zhang Shusheng opened a bottle of wine as soon as he received the report of the war. This is the Wuliangye old cellar wine produced on the edge of the Minjiang River in Yibin after the liberation of Bashu. Currently he can drink it. It is a special wine, but No one knows that Zhang Shusheng bought this wine personally.
Jiang Baili is also in the office and is discussing with Zhang Shusheng about the nineteenth road. After receiving the battle report, I glanced at it simply, "Yes, Dai Anlan's regiment played well. Typical military school tactics, these are the tactics and methods of war taught at the Chinese Military Academy."
"Well, it's not easy."
Zhang Shusheng got up and walked to the Langfang battlefield simulation sand table in the corner of the big office. He looked at the three positions with red and blue flags on them, representing the three sides of Langfang.
The terrain here is not special. It can even be said that it is only capable of constructing fortifications. It is not critical, and the terrain is relatively flat. The specially selected position building sections are only small ridges, which are far from being highlands.
He was very clear that the original combat effectiveness of the Third Regiment in the Southwest should be stronger, but it was only because of several factors that affected the full play. Of course, the Japanese army also had many problems.
First of all, the Southwest Army ’s most advantageous air force, artillery and armored units did not appear at all, and only the newly allocated anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers were used to suppress the attacking Japanese army. Fortunately, it is a defensive war. If it is an offensive war, the third regiment, and even the third division that will arrive later, will face a huge problem: there is no artillery preparation before the attack, no rifle coordination, and Xu Jin. Things that have been listed as key subjects in military training in the Southwest have no step-tank cooperative operations, no armored assaults, and of course no air-ground coordinated offensive training for many years.
It can be said that the northwestern China's anti-Japanese fight to the north was very grievous, and there were a lot of new equipment in the air but it was unusable.
Secondly, when it comes to the Japanese army, the Japanese army in May 1932 is far from the Japanese army in the subsequent generations in 1937. Although there is no difference in the will to fight and the quality of the commander is not high or low, but in terms of weapons and equipment, the Japanese army at this time It is not as good as the Japanese army after five or six years. Although the army's artillery also formed an advantage over the national army, it was far from the gap between the national army and the Japanese army when the anti-Japanese war broke out in 1937. The Japanese air force is also relatively weak, and there are armored units and small tanks during the comprehensive anti-Japanese war. At this time, they are also some armored tanks. It is tantamount to say that they are tanks.
Happily, the national army is much stronger than its original history. In the original history, the national army ’s equipment was rotten. If it was not the reorganization after the outbreak of the comprehensive anti-Japanese war, and later the Americans supported Chiang Kai-shek ’s strong military plan under the Military Aid China Act, the combat effectiveness of the national army may even be equivalent to waiting at this time The Northeast Army in the Jinzhou trenches.
"Chief Commander, although the Japanese army lost the offensive, I think Shirakawa will not give up. In their view, the greater the loss, the more it will be washed away and stigmatized. The Japanese are a crazy nation. Although Shirakawa is I am calm, but it is difficult to determine the overall situation. "Jiang Baili and Shirakawa Yoshi both graduated from the Japanese Army Sergeant School, but he is the ninth phase, and the latter is the first phase, with the prestige of Shirakawa Yoshino, and served in Tianjin It is also reasonable to send commanders in chief. However, this is not a very good commander. At least according to Jiang Baili's knowledge, he is not in the top three in Japan. "The artillery and air strikes may be more violent, and the three regiments will suffer a lot."
Zhang Shusheng: "Yeah, so the follow-up plan should be implemented in advance. Just relying on Chiang Kai-shek's more than 100,000 second-tier and third-tier troops can not be eaten by others. Just go down and choose carefully, which two divisions are suitable for editing Joining the 19th Route Army, since it is the 19th Route Army, we will have to compile him with the size of an army, and the three main divisions will go north. I see to what extent the Japanese can be arrogant. "
He was also angry. Although Xiao Shengli was gratifying, the overall situation in Tianjin was still not optimistic. According to the latest information, the two divisions in the coastal ports of the Japan Sea were not transferred to the northeast at all, but were about to go to Tianjin ... ...
With up to five divisions, Zhang Shusheng was scared to think about it. The Japanese wanted to do their best, and completely eliminated the Kuomintang forces around Tianjin and Beijing. Then they occupied Pingjin in a stable manner and finally surrounded the Ningjin defense line.
I have to say that changing Zhang Shusheng as the commander will also choose such a strategy, which not only forms sufficient intimidation to southern China, but also completely solves the problems of northeast and north China.
What Jiang Baili discussed with him just now is how to "organize" more troops into the 19th Route Army. The reason is that Zhang Shusheng had thought of this late move early on. It wasn't how prescient he was, but that some military forces in the past also adopted a similar approach.
Ain't an army? Then hire more people, too few three companies in a battalion? There are fewer three battalions in one regiment? Then make four.
The road was built in the Ming Dynasty and Chen Cang was secretly hidden. Zhang Shusheng was counting on this 19th Route ‘Army’ to bully the Japanese.
Of course, some supporting actions must be successfully completed to ensure the perfect implementation of the plan.
After Jiang Baili left, Zhao Ziyun came to the office.
"How's the plan going?"
Zhao Ziyun gave a salutation, opened the file, and replied: "Teacher, the Special Situations Department staff has successfully purchased the Yan Xishan garrison from Taiyuan North Airfield, and some residents nearby have also given superiors on the grounds that the Japanese may attack the airport Compensation made them move away.
As for Beiping Airport, since the two squadrons of the National Army will be stationed in the past two days, it is too difficult for us to make small moves. At present, the Ministry of Special Affairs and a plain-dressed platoon soldier recruited a large number of folks with a mining industry company, and built a 'ore sorting yard' in the Daxing area, a suburb far from the city, because the mining company originally stored it. A batch of cement ready for road construction, coupled with the overnight production of self-produced cement ore, has been basically able to meet the needs of runway construction. "
"How long will it take to fix it, the battle will not wait for anyone." Zhang Shusheng was most concerned about this issue.
"It should be very fast. As soon as the third division arrives, a batch of much-needed cement accelerators will be shipped along with the car. We have paid three times as much wages for the husbands and wives as enough to describe madness.
It is estimated that the aircraft can take off and land within one week ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If you work overtime, you can form a high-frequency takeoff and landing capability within 20 days. "
Zhang Shusheng nodded with satisfaction. Whether this front-line airport can be repaired and whether it can be repaired at the speed of emergency construction of a field airport during wartime will affect the development of the entire Tianjin-Beijing war and will have a significant impact on subsequent plans.
You know, such an emergency construction of a strengthened field airport, regardless of cost, if not yet, Zhang Shusheng can only consider himself unlucky. The Air Force cannot always fly to Peiping Airport to grab a spot with the National Army. At least, this front-line airport in the southwest should be absolutely safe before it is exposed. Along with the arrival of the airport security and air defense forces of the Fifth Division northward, the successive entry of fighters from Taiyuan will be part of the plan.
He also ordered Zhao Ziyun to pay special attention to the matter before he left, looked at the calendar on the table, Zhang Shusheng went to the window and looked to the north, "What kind of special forces will He An bring me? What surprise? It must not be failure. "

It was too sleepy to come back at night. I slept for a few hours. I originally wanted to write eight thousand words, but I was sleepy again. I can make up a few words tomorrow. This chapter 4500 changed first. ()
