Li Guoyao looked up at everyone present, and then fixed his gaze on Lu Zhonglin who was sitting in the main seat, and then said: "Sir Lu, our department is new here, so I shouldn't say much, but the war is about to begin. There are some things I should say in my humble position." It¡¯s hard to vomit. There is nothing wrong with re-dividing the defense zone, but the current environment is not suitable. After all, once the defense zone is re-divided, not only our temporary ninth army, but also other units will have to be mobilized, which is not conducive to the subsequent battle situation. "
"Secondly, our unit has just been transferred from southern Shandong to southern Hebei. We were stranded along the way, and we are not familiar with the new environment. Entering the defense area at this time is definitely a big test for our army. Therefore, I suggest that we temporarily suspend our troops." The army has been transformed into a force directly under the war zone, and we will determine our defense area after the war situation stabilizes. I don¡¯t know what Commander Lu wants!¡±
Lu Zhonglin looked at Li Guoyao. Although he was a little unhappy, what Li Guoyao said was reasonable and reasonable. He didn't know how to reply for a while!
At this time, Chief of Staff Hou Yongxiang said immediately: "Commander Li, you also know the situation of this war. The Japanese army is coming fiercely. If you don't join the battle, it will be difficult for us to stop the Japanese attack with our current strength!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Huaibing also said: "Yes, our troops have been exhausted from dozens of bloody battles with the Japs over the years. Brother solemnly, you can't watch your brothers fighting with the Japs. !¡±
Li Guoyao felt a sneer in his heart. He believed that other people fought against the Japanese army, including Shiyou's Third Division, but forget it about Zhu Huaibing's 97th Army. The greatest pleasure of this army was to cause trouble for the Eighth Route Army, and they really had no fight with the Japs. After a few battles.
But at this time, Li Guoyao did not fight back, but said: "We are also fighting in the Hebei-Cha War Zone. How can we sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight? And I, Li Guoyao, am not the kind of person who hides behind others. Let me tell you the truth. Well, this time the little devils not only mobilized troops in southern Hebei, but also mobilized the 110th Division to the Shandong battlefield. Together with the 10th Division in Western Shandong, the Japanese army gathered more troops in Western Shandong and the southwestern border of Shandong. The strength of 4 divisions.¡±
"The target of the Japanese army has not yet been determined. I don't know whether they are coming for western Shandong or southwestern Shandong. If it is southwestern Shandong, that's fine. At least they have the Sulu theater to support them. But if the Japanese army is coming for southwestern Shandong If Lu Xi comes, then we all have to pay attention."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Guoyao strode to the main wall of the conference room, picked up a teaching stick on the table, pointed at the map of North China on the wall and said: "Look, everyone, here are the counties in southern Hebei, here is Shandong, and I The army is currently stationed on the Guantao line, and some troops are in Yanggu, Shenxian, and Fanxian areas. Once the main force of the Japanese army is directed towards Luxi, the 10th Division and the 110th Division will be concentrated westward from Liaocheng. Attack, how do you think it will end?¡±
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Li Guoyao continued: "There is a high probability that the Japanese army will defeat our unit and then push the front to southern Hebei. If the 36th Division launches an attack from Handan and Xingtai at this time, it will attack the Japanese army on the eastern front. I am monitoring the war zone, do you think we can stop it?"
Li Guoyao's words caused everyone in the conference room to fall into deep thought. If there was only one 36th Division, the Hebei-Cha Theater Headquarters would not be too nervous. After all, one division only has 15,000 to 6,000 troops. They killed 20,000 people, and now they have more than 100,000 people. And with Li Guoyao's elite troops, there really is nothing to be afraid of.
But if there are three divisions, then there is really no way to fight, especially the Tenth Division, a Class A division!
"Brother Solemn, your thinking is very reasonable. I even think that the 36th Division of the Japs went south just to attack us!" Pang Bingxun, commander-in-chief of the 24th Group Army, said.
Li Guoyao actually didn¡¯t dislike Pang Bingxun very much. Even though he eventually defected to the Japanese and became a traitor, at least he and his 40th Army had merit in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.
The Anti-Japanese War has been going on for more than three years now. As far as the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in North China is concerned, it is inseparable from the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army. Among all the miscellaneous armies, Pang Bingxun¡¯s 40th The military is the most special.
First, let¡¯s briefly introduce the 40th Army. This unit was originally the First Department of the Northwest Army, and was later organized based on the First Department of the Shanxi Second Group Army, also known as the Third Army.
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, it was said to be a legion, but in fact it only governed the 40th Army. The 40th Army only had one division, the 39th Division, plus a supplementary regiment. In other words, it was a legion in name, but its actual strength was only 1 A division and a regiment.
In September 1937, General Pang Bingxun served as the commander of the Second Army and the commander of the 40th Army, Ma Fawu was appointed as the commander of the 39th Division, and Li Zhenqing?Supplementary group leader.
After the bloody battle in Linyi, the 40th Army adjusted its rear areas for training. Taking into account the excellent combat performance of the 40th Army and Pang Bingxun's meritorious service in the War of Resistance, the Military Commission assigned the 106th Division, which originally belonged to the Northeast Army and had defected to the Central Committee during the Xi'an Incident, to the 40th Army. At this time, the 40th Army finally no longer had only one Solitary Miao 39th Division, but finally had two divisions.
Pang Bingxun and the 40th Army are well known to future generations for the Linyi Defense Battle, but most people don't know that the 40th Army's first battle with the Japanese army was not in Linyi, but near Cangzhou, Hebei, in the northern section of the Jinpu Line. The end of September 1937. In this blocking battle, the 40th Army faced the Japanese 10th Division.
In the detailed combat report of the 1st Division of the Japanese 10th Division, the 40th Army was evaluated as follows: "The quality and tactics of this unit (40th Army) are inferior to those of the 37th Division (Feng Zhi'an Division of the 29th Army) that fought before, but the same They appear extremely tenacious when holding on to their positionsWhen the (Japanese army's) offensive pauses or is slightly reorganized, (the 40th Army) will use death squads to carry out repeated counterattacks and engage in hand-to-hand combat in an attempt to regain the position."
After the Cangzhou Blockade, the 40th Army garrisoned Linyi after additional rest and reorganization. This time fighting against the Japanese 5th Division, the 40th Army also performed very tenaciously. The Japanese 21st Regiment said that the 40th Army had a "particularly strong sense of resistance." In the description of the Japanese 11th Regiment's attack on Linyi, it was written like this: "support /The defenders put up a desperate resistance in the face of the attack. When the imperial army approached, they violently threw grenades to fight"
The 40 officers and soldiers relied on their "particularly strong sense of resistance" and desperate grenade melee combat to finally win the Linyi defense battle. Pang Bingxun also won the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun for this battle.
After the Battle of Xuzhou, Pang Bingxun's troops were sent to establish a base in the Lingchuan area of ??Jinnan, Shanxi, and took root behind enemy lines. The 224th Regiment of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army was deeply impressed by the first encounter with the 40th Army: "The enemy's 39th Division of the 40th Army was a This is the first time our army (the 36th Division of the Japanese Army) engages in battle. We cannot judge the actual combat effectiveness of the enemy. However, in actual combat, the enemy's resistance is extremely tenacious. Without our army's final assault, the enemy will not retreat. In the village In the battles at the South 200 Highlands and the highlands southwest of Nan Da Zhang, the enemy sometimes shouted loudly and launched counterattacks. From the actual combat situation, the quality and training of the enemy troops are very good, and they are a force that cannot be underestimated."
Pang Bingxun's surrender to the enemy was a last resort. In the spring sweep of 1943, the 40th Army suffered serious losses. The 24th Army Headquarters was dispersed and the troops fell into chaos. Pang Bingxun was captured alone because the Army Headquarters was dispersed.
According to Wang Jingfang, Pang Bingxun¡¯s staff officer, they were cornered by the Japanese army at that time. Later, they received a message from Dai Li¡¯s special agent, asking Pang Bingxun to surrender to the enemy first to preserve his strength, hoping that one day he could make a comeback, so Pang Bingxun surrendered to the enemy.
Apart from anything else, although Pang Bingxun is good at fighting in camps and is a veritable veteran, he does have some abilities. He is very brave in fighting and dares to sacrifice. Therefore, he himself is not a fool general, and neither are the troops under his command. A flamboyant person who is about to collapse at the drop of a hat, at least for now, this person can still be cooperated with.
Thinking of this, Li Guoyao immediately said: "Commander Pang is right. The Japanese army will not transfer a division to southern Hebei for no reason. It is very likely that it is coming to the Hebei-Cha war zone. Therefore, at this time we not only need to Seeing the threat of the 36th Division, we also need to see the little Japs on the Eastern Front. Our army staying on the Eastern Front can prevent the Japanese army from attacking our army, and on the other hand, it can also leave a way out for you!"
Lu Zhonglin has been in the military for so many years, and he still has some strategic vision. After looking at the map, he asked his subordinate generals: "What do you think?"
Shi Yousan thought about it carefully. If the Japanese army really marched westward with two divisions and attacked the Hebei-Cha theater with the 36th Division, the consequences would be really disastrous.
And his 39th Group Army was stationed in Feixiang and Jize, and it was the first to bear the brunt. Although he had an agreement with the Japanese army before, it was signed when the Japanese army had no chance to annihilate them. Once there was a chance, The Japanese army will never let them go.
After thinking for a while, Shi Yousan said: "Brother Su Yan is right. I think it is also a good choice to let the Jiujiu Army stationed on the eastern front!"
"Then how to deal with the 36th Division's attack?" Lu Zhonglin said again.
"If it's just the 36th Division, we don't actually need to panic. They are new here and are not familiar with the environment, and the terrain in southern Hebei is complex. We can take the initiative to attack!" Li Guoyao said in a surprising way. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
