The old commander of the 79th Army was out of the way this time, he sent his three divisions plus a guard company, the troops directly under the military department, etc., all sent to the battlefield, and only three guards were left around to guard him, except for a few staff officers who received telegrams, all went to the front line, and the old army commander also wanted to personally go to the front line to supervise the battle, and was persuaded by Xiao Wu: "Military seat, just have us in front of you, you can stay in the military headquarters and command, this time our 79th Army is all pressed up, and the devil wants to flee for his life, It must be frantically counterattacking towards our side of the defensive line, and the front is very dangerous, so don't go up" The old army commander was still unconvinced: "Xiao Wu, don't look at my age, but I haven't seen any scenes, there is danger everywhere, is it not dangerous to stay here, but what you said is still very reasonable, I still have to coordinate with Zhou Wu, and it is not interesting to run to the forward position." ” Caught up with the commander of the 29th Division of the 79th Army who caught up with the devil to tear the gap, they were tired enough this time, and ran back and forth along the Three Fairy Temple to Lijiawan, and the distance between the front and back marched reached hundreds of kilometers, and this time they were urgently ordered by the old army commander as a firefighting team to block the gap in the defensive position north of Lijiawan.
The sound of shell explosions, the whistling of bullets and the painful shouts of the wounded brothers on the position were intertwined, resounding throughout the Lijiawan position, and Division Commander Huang strictly ordered all the artillery of the 29th Division that had just arrived under his command to open fire and suppress the devil soldiers who rushed up with artillery fire.
The artillery fired, more than a dozen 75 mountain guns bombarded fiercely, and one by one the shells smashed in the middle of the devil formation in front of the position, throwing those little devils high in the air, and then falling fiercely, Miyamoto saw that the attacking team in front of him was met with stubborn resistance from the Kuomintang army, so he called the devil air force in Nanjing hoarsely, asking that bombers must be sent to Lijiawan to cover the Miyamoto brigade to break out of the encirclement.
In Nanjing, Hata Junliu negotiated with the Kuomintang Sixth War Zone to no avail, and was so angry that he scolded Chief Gu for having a very bad conscience and going back on his word, in fact, it was not Chief Gu who suddenly discovered his conscience, it was really not a good problem to put on the table, the 79th Army used the excuse that their special service group was completely annihilated by the Miyamoto Brigade, and sent troops to intercept the Miyamoto Brigade, which was logical and justified, and now the Kuomintang Army and the Japanese devils were still in a state of war with the Japanese devils, and the black-box operation behind the scenes was just an expedient measure for Chief Gu to take the opportunity to eliminate the New Fourth Army in order to pick up cheap.
How could they get it to the table in a grand manner, so when Chief Gu and the others saw that the 79th Army was launching a fierce attack on the Miyamoto Brigade on the whole front, they hurriedly avoided any telegram sent by the six sides of Nanjing Hata, pretending to be deaf and dumb, saying that the actions of the 79th Army were their self-defense actions, and the theater, as their superiors, should support it.
After receiving a distress message from Miyamoto, he immediately ordered all the army aviation units of the devils in Nanjing to be dispatched to frantically bomb the Lijiawan position and blow up all the Lijiawan positions In order to rescue the Miyamoto Brigade that was under siege, Shunroku Habata immediately ordered the entire Yamada Brigade on the shore of Gaoyou Lake to attack and advance along the west bank of Hongze Lake to the north of Tianchang, and strictly ordered him to rush to Lijiawan within two days, otherwise he would bear the consequences At the same time, Hahata Shunroku ordered the Wang puppet army troops on the southern front to cover the Yamada Brigade and march towards Lijiawan in the north, abandon the anti-Japanese base areas in Jiangbei that had been captured, and all set off to Lijiawan to fish out the Miyamoto Brigade from the toilet and the hands of the Kuomintang 79th Army.
After Yamada received the order from Shunroku Hatata, he hurriedly found the puppet army division commander Liu Haozi stationed next to him, and ordered him to quickly take the puppet army division and attack along the west bank of Gaoyou Lake Liu Haozi hurriedly returned to his station, and found his brother-in-law to scold the little devil Yamada: "Damn, it's a distance of one hundred and sixty or seventy kilometers, and I want our division to arrive within two days, isn't this going for my old Liu's life, is the Yamada devil crazy, why didn't he take the lead to catch up, and didn't let our division be the scapegoat cannon fodder?"
Liu Haozi's brother-in-law, Xiao Tianming, hurriedly suggested to his brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, this is clearly for us to send to death, Lijiawan is now a pot of porridge, and the Jiangbei New Fourth Army is almost all dispatched, not only the regular army is all dispatched, but even those county brigades and other local armed forces are also on the front line, there is also a 79th Army in the north, and the Miyamoto Brigade has killed seven or eight thousand men and horses, where can I beat the seventy or eighty thousand horses that surrounded them, if this thing was put six or seven years ago, the little devil can still resist for a while, Now I don't think it will work, don't say that they can support it for two days, if they can't survive tonight, the Miyamoto Brigade will be finished immediately, we used to send food to Zhou Wu and Seventy-Nine and them, we can't do it anymore, the devil is not as good as a day, brother-in-law, you have to think of a way out and get ready. ” Liu Haozi has always been obedient to this brother-in-law, and after listening to this analysis, he felt that it was very reasonable, and hurriedly said to him: "Then according to your meaning, what should we do, it is difficult for me to let Lao Liu take the team to join Zhou Wu's New Fourth Army, the New Fourth Army is too poor and too bitter, my old Liu is used to enjoying happiness, the past is not good, and the New Fourth Army heard that there are many rules, this is not allowed, that is not allowed, my old Liu really does not want to go over, I think we still catch up, don't be so anxious, meet any team, Just surrender to them, fortunately, I still have a handwritten letter from Director Dai of the Chongqing Military Command, with this thing, we are not surrendering, but returning to the army. ” It turns out that this Liu Haozi has long been ready to retreat, he has a flexible mind, good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, not only in front of the traitors under the Japanese devils, but also secretly fighting with the Chongqing Military Commander, of course, the relationship with the stationmaster Ye of the Nanjing Military Command Station is also very familiar, through the introduction of the stationmaster Ye, Director Dai wrote a personal letter to him, asking him to continue to endure humiliation under the hands of the devil, once the time is ripe, you can immediately revolt and defect, now the little devil Yamada has forced Liu Haozi to the edge of the cliff, there is no way, Liu Haozi planned to turn back before the battle and took refuge.
The idea was made, Liu Haozi immediately ordered the commander of the puppet army to quickly dispatch and set off in the direction of Lijiawan in the north, Yamada saw that Liu Haozi's puppet army had set off, and immediately followed the team of the early puppet army division towards the direction of Lijiawan, and Liu Haozi, who was marching in front, saw that Yamada's little devil was chasing his ass and caught up, and said to Xiao Tianming: "Yamada will follow behind, we are not easy to do, you take a few cronies to catch up quickly, and find the 79th Army in the north, just say that we are ordered to come and run, let them send a team to respond" Xiao Tianming thought about it, anyway, if you want to go to the road, it is better to contact it in advance, so that it is reliable, and when the brothers of the 79th Army do not admit it, it will be troublesome, so Xiao Tianming immediately brought five trusted cronies, led ten fast horses from the cavalry camp, and rode over in turn, a distance of 160 kilometers Xiao Tianming just wanted to rest for a while, and suddenly rushed out of front of a group of armed men, a large number of about 200 people in Hulala, surrounded them, Xiao Tianming looked, surrounded by some straw hats, all kinds of clothes, holding some old-fashioned old sleeves in their hands, and a few even holding cold weapons such as red tassel guns, he thought at first that he had encountered bandits who robbed their homes, and hurriedly hugged their fists and saluted them and said: "Brothers on the road, rush to the north of the 79th Army, Please make it convenient and thank you again in the future."
Unexpectedly, a figure wearing a gray cloth ragged military uniform came out of the middle of the team, Xiao Tianming looked at it and was dumbfounded: Oops, this is good, I met the New Fourth Army, it turns out that these teams are the local armed forces of the New Fourth Army, Tianming is ambushed here, this is good, it fell into the hands of the New Fourth Army, it must not be able to go back, and the 79th Army also thought about it.
This man in a gray cloth military uniform stepped forward, pulled Xiao Tianming off the horse one by one, confiscated their weapons, and searched out the handwritten letter written by the director of the military commander Dai to Liu Haozi, this man probably didn't know how to read, looked at it for a while, and shouted to a person behind him: "Third child, come and see, what the hell is this?"
The young man named Lao San immediately rushed over, picked up the handwritten letter and looked at it, and said to the man with a smile: "Captain, these are sent by the Kuomintang military commander, you see that this is a handwritten letter written by Dai Li, the head of the military command, and there is his seal on it. ” As soon as the captain heard that he was sent by the military commander, he immediately didn't say a word, so he ordered his subordinates to tie up Xiao Tianming Mingming, and waited for the fate, Xiao Tianming saw that something bad was going to happen, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "This commander of the New Fourth Army, don't misunderstand, we are friendly with you, don't make mistakes, report to your superiors in the south immediately, we are here this time, it is important to think about the victory or defeat of this battlefield, you have to think about it clearly, don't regret it when the time comes."
After all, Xiao Tianming had gone to the Whampoa Military Academy and was well-informed, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately wanted to fall to the ground, so he improvised and hurriedly shouted at the guerrilla captain, asking to meet the commander of the New Fourth Army. t1706231537:
