When we arrived at the military headquarters, the command room was already full of people.
In addition to the staff officers, division commanders and brigade commanders, the commanders of each regiment also rushed over.
Everyone¡¯s expressions were not good-looking. Xia Yang could feel the oppressive atmosphere just by standing at the door and looking inside.
"Report! Xia Yang, leader of the fourth regiment, is here to report." Xia Yang saluted at the door.
Hearing that Xia Yang was coming, Commander Feng, who had been looking at the military map on the wall, turned to him and said, "Come in! The meeting will begin now."
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Cunpu next to him.
Chen Cunpu said: "Let me first tell you the reason for calling everyone here for the meeting." As he said that, he opened a folder and said loudly: "According to the latest intelligence, the Japanese troops that have been entrenched near Peking and Tianjin Wei have been Frequent mobilizations began in the evening. And at noon today, they began to attack southward."
As he spoke, he put down the folder, pointed to a city south of Beiping City and said: "Here, Rongcheng, the Japanese vanguard troops launched an artillery bombardment here this afternoon. They also occupied the Rongcheng Railway Station. .¡±
Hearing the name "Rongcheng", Xia Yang was naturally familiar with it. He had tricked several Canadian doctors there some time ago.
It can be regarded as a dividing line in the Japanese-occupied area, and the national army also stationed a small force in Rongcheng.
Under the large-scale Japanese attack, the small group of troops only resisted symbolically and then chose to retreat.
"Zhuojun!" Chen Cunpu pointed to a city below Beiping. "The Japanese army has built an airport here. When fighter planes take off, they can easily bomb Baoding City. Even Shijiazhuang behind us will be covered by their firepower. Within the range.¡±
Xia Yang looked at the military map. He had studied this map many times. So he was very familiar with it. Since the Japanese army captured Rongcheng first, Xia Yang could roughly guess their marching route.
Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the Japanese army will choose to cross the Nanjuma River, and then go south along the Ping-Han Railway to attack Xushui.
The reason why the attack along the Pinghan-Han Railway is actually very simple. It is impossible for the Japanese army to capture all the cities along the way, but can only choose the transportation hub cities along the railway to attack.
There are several advantages to this.
First, they can ensure their logistical supplies through railway lines. In this way, the efficiency and speed of their attack can be greatly improved, and the speed of the offensive march will not be slowed down because the logistics cannot follow up.
Secondly, although they have hundreds of thousands of troops going south this time, if they divide too many troops to occupy some insignificant cities, they will fall into a situation of fighting independently. Xia Yang believed that the little devil's general staff would never make such a low-level mistake.
The people in the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters have all received formal military command training. It cannot be said that they use their troops like gods, but they will never reveal a big flaw for you to attack.
Finally, the Japanese army attacked along the traffic lines, which to a large extent allowed them to concentrate their forces and make concentrated breakthroughs in some cities above the traffic lines.
Xia Yang thought that if his prediction was good, it would be very easy for the Japanese army to cross the Nanjuma River.
Stationed along the Nanjuma River is the 235th Division of the National Army. The combat effectiveness of this division is basically negligible. Xia Yang was almost sure that when the Japanese army attacked, this division might not be able to hold on for even a day.
The Chinese defenders in Xushui may be able to withstand the Japanese army for a few days. But it definitely won¡¯t last too long.
There is no danger to defend Xushui, and the city wall is very low. It is impossible to hold on to it.
Xia Yang made a rough estimate. In another week at most, Japan's artillery unit will be able to launch artillery shells into Baoding City.
"In a week at most, the vanguard of the Japanese army will arrive at Baoding City. We still have at most a week to prepare for war." Chen Cunpu said with a serious face.
The time he mentioned is very consistent with what Xia Yang guessed.
At this time, a division commander of the 59th Army asked: "What does going up the peak mean?"
Chen Cunpu said: "The idea of ??going up to the peak is that we hold on for a while longer and wait for Commander Tang to complete the deployment of defenses in northern Henan."
"Taking time? Do we have support?" the teacher named Cao Bohan asked.
Commander Feng said at this time: "Support Baoding Railway Station the day after tomorrow, the summit will send us a package"??Winter clothes, does this count as support? "
Cao Boyan took a deep breath, seemed to be suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked unwillingly: "Thenthe 82nd Army in Shijiazhuang, the Jinsui Army stationed in Shanxi, and the Central Committee not far from us Army, the Northeast Army, and Commander Tang. He has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. What about them? Won¡¯t they come to support us? "
Commander Feng said: "In half a month, we need to work with the 29th Army to delay the Japanese attack for half a month. They will not support us. The defense line in northern Henan is more important. At least, we cannot let the little devils cross the Yellow River. Entering the Henan region.¡±
When Cao Bohan heard this, his voice suddenly rose and he said: "29th Army, 59th Army, our two armies add up to more than 50,000 people. Opposite the Japs are several Class A divisions with more than 100,000 people. Our equipment is more We are a million miles away from the little devils. They have planes and cannons, but we are going to fight them with fucking fire sticks!"
Xia Yang could feel the teacher's anger, a kind of aggrieved feeling of being abandoned by someone above him.
But they had no choice. This was an order from above.
Soldiers, it is their bounden duty to obey orders!
"Instead of counting on those reinforcements, we might as well imagine how to hold off the Japs for half a month!" Chen Cunpu said.
Bai Tianle, who had always looked grave, suddenly said: "Block them for half a month? How to block them? They have cannons, planes, and tanks. What do we have?"
He was obviously very pessimistic about holding on to Baoding City for half a month, and believed that under the attack of more than 100,000 Japanese troops, they would be unable to fight back.
??
"Can determination be used as food? Can it be used as a cannon?" Bai Tianle retorted loudly.
Xia Yang choked back: "If you don't even have this determination, you might as well surrender to the Japanese! It's still a fucking war to fight the birds, what a day to fight the birds!"
Commander Feng cleared his throat and said: "Okay, don't argue anymore. I will now assign defense tasks to you. Every regiment, every brigade, and every division must defend its defense zone with all its life. Who did the little devil come from? If anyone comes in the defense zone, I will kill him!"
