Chapter 3 Storm (Ten Thousands)

"Hiss,." The generals here all sucked in the air, feeling chaotic about the Japanese's madness.

Corresponding to the brigade-level system of the National Revolutionary Army, the Japanese invaders have brigades under the brigade. Usually, there are three infantry brigades under the brigade. Each infantry brigade is divided into four infantry squadrons and a heavy machine gun squadron and an artillery squadron. Within the infantry squadron, there are also separate light machine gun groups and grenade launchers groups. In terms of scale and firepower, they exceed more than one level of the 93rd Regiment. (Note 1)

Only Fu Zuoyi heard that his subordinates were in danger, and he immediately cheered up. His previous decadent state was wiped out. He stood up and slapped the table hard, shouting loudly: "What are you panic? The Japanese took a corps to attack our regiment. That is the glory of our Northern Army. If you can't beat them, let the brothers break into pieces and break through. If the grassland is so big, I don't believe that the Japanese can block all the roads."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room suddenly became silent. All the senior generals of the Northern Army, including Sun Lanfeng who was furious before, sat upright, with generous and heroic spirit on their faces. Yes, just fight, fight, war, there will always be a fight. It is impossible that the Northern Army will only fight against the Japanese. The Japanese will not even dare to fight back.

Fu Zuoyi's eyes swept across the faces of everyone, and then nodded with satisfaction, "During the Great Wall War, the Japanese devils fought two of us. Three years ago, the Japanese devils fought one of us, and one of us. Last year, there was an unwritten rule in the National Revolutionary Army. To deal with the Japanese devils, more than three times the troops were needed to defend and more than five times the troops were needed to attack. Today, in order to deal with our newly upgraded A-type regiment, the Japanese devils had to mobilize a mixed regiment. This is the glory of the Ninety-Third Regiment and the glory of our entire Northern Army. Therefore, we just let go and fight. No matter what the final result of this battle, the Japanese devils have lost completely in terms of momentum."

"Yes, we've seen a more dangerous situation than this," he said.

"If you fight, you can fight. At worst, let's let the Ninety-Three Group dig into the desert. I don't believe that the Japanese have the courage to chase them inside."

"The Japanese devils are dealing with our 93rd Regiment in the east, so we will dig out his Baotou and Suiyuan in the west, and see who can't hold on first."

"I just thought I was not satisfied with the fight last time, and this time I just happened to let my brothers go to the meat again."

""

At the time of the arrival of the generals, the morale of the generals was mobilized, and they were about to fight with the Japanese. General Fu Zuoyi said it well. The Japanese used a mixed gang to hunt down a regiment of the Northern Route Army, which was just a sign of their situation. The Central Army did not discover this secret, and the Eighth Route Army did not discover this secret. The Northern Route Army took this opportunity to let the villagers across the country see who is the real mighty army.

Seeing that the morale of his subordinates was available, Fu Zuoyi nodded again with satisfaction, and then shouted, "Chief of Staff, order people to prepare military maps for relevant areas. Sun Wanjiu, you can assist Chief of Staff Lu and mark all the troops and positions of both the enemy and us on the map."

"Yes." Chief of Staff Lu Yinglin and Sun Lanfeng, commander of the new 31st Division, both stood up and saluted, and quickly ran to the other side of the conference room to study the combat strategy to prepare the map.

Lu Yinglin is a top student who graduated from the fifth grade of the Infantry Department of Baoding Military Academy. He has been in the army for more than 20 years and has rich experience. Although Sun Lanfeng had a strong Zhang Fei personality, he was also a lie in the fourth grade of Huangpu. His basic skills were very solid. The two led a group of staff members who graduated from Central Army University. Soon, they clearly marked the current location of the 93rd Regiment and the surrounding enemy troops.

Fu Zuoyi led the other generals to slowly surround him, just glanced on the map, and then quickly frowned: "Why are there so many enemies, Sun Wanjiu, ten days ago, didn't I ask you to withdraw the Ninety-Three Regiment from King De's nest?"

"Yes, that's it!" Sun Lanfeng, the commander of the newly compiled 31st Division, blushed slightly, and quickly explained carefully, "At that time, there was no attack on King De's nest at that time, but after the 93rd Regiment retreated, he encountered the Japanese East Montessel, the Kawata Brigade, which was once defeated by them, as well as the Fourth Brigade, the Fifth Brigade and the Ninth Brigade of the Xing'an Security Army, as well as the three permanent squadrons transferred from the Zhelim League. Neither side conquered the other side, and delayed it until today."

"No one obeys anyone, what do you mean, make it clear." Fu Zuoyi was stunned for a moment, with the wrinkles on his forehead deeper. The 93rd Regiment was a surprise soldier he took advantage of the opportunity that the main force of the Kwantung Army was attracted by the Soviets in the Nuomenhan area and arranged a series of surprises. In the just-concluded Wuyuan Battle, he played a brilliant role in "dispersing the enemy's forces and intensifying the Japanese-public conflict". However, as the commander-in-chief of the entire Northern Army, he could not have focused his attention on a regiment-level combat unit every day. Therefore, after the strategic goal was initially achieved, he immediately handed over the command of this force to his directly under the command of the superior Sun Lanfeng, and he no longer had the energy to inquire in detail.

Now it seems that Sun Lanfeng was obviously not decisive enough when executing the order to retreat in the 93rd Regiment, which led to the current 93rd Regiment being stared by the enemy several times its own, and was about to face a dangerous situation of being trapped in a heavy siege. This atmosphere cannot be tolerated by any means. Sun Lanfeng must give an explanation immediately. Otherwise, everyone from the Northern Army will follow suit and fall apart sooner or later.

"Yes, that's right, commander-in-chief, please listen to my explanation." Sun Lanfeng knew that he had caused a big disaster and quickly wiped his sweat. "I only knew that the Japanese had transferred three Mongolian divisions over, and I didn't know that there was a mixed brigade of the Kwantung Army. Everyone knew the combat power of the three Mongolian divisions. If the 93rd regiment was waiting for their work, they might not have no chance to eat them separately."

"Nonsense." Before Fu Zuoyi could speak, Chief of Staff Lu Yinglin shouted loudly, and quietly gave Sun Lanfeng a wink, "Where are the previous Japanese and puppet troops? They might be watching the 93rd Regiment let go."

"Report to the Chief of Staff." Sun Lanfeng understood that Lu Yinglin was creating opportunities for him, so he quickly stood attentively saluted and continued to add loudly, "This possibility is very high. Among the enemy troops following the 93rd Regiment, the strongest combat power was the Kawata Brigade, which was following all the way from Heishizhai. The 93rd Regiment once taught them a lesson, so they were very afraid of the 93rd Regiment and never dared to get too close. The other Japanese troops were all stationed in Dongmeng, and the third-rate troops responsible for suppressing the local area were not as good as the Kawata Brigade. As for the three Xing'an military police brigades, they had no intention of fighting. Long before approaching Beizi Temple, they sent people to greet the 93rd Regiment in private. They would never rush forward to serve as cannon fodder for the Japanese."

"Damn it, it turns out that there are such slippery people among the Japanese." Someone was amused by Sun Lanfeng's description, curled his lips and whispered, "I thought there was such a person in our Chinese army, so it was."

"Okay." Fu Zuoyi turned around and gave him a blank look, interrupting unhappily, "Don't talk to others, keep our own affairs." Then, he turned his eyes to Sun Lanfeng, "Whose team is this? Why are they so close to the Ninety-third Regiment?"

"Yes, it's a local unit of the Eighth Route Army." Sun Lanfeng's expression immediately became nervous again. He looked at Fu Zuoyi's face and responded in a hesitant manner, "The number is the Black Stone Guerrilla Brigade of the Chabei Military Sub-district, with only about one company in size. He had cooperated with the 93rd Regiment to eliminate the Eryu Squadron. When Commander Qi saw that their cavalry was well trained, he asked them to attack Beizi Temple together and asked them to help train the cavalry battalion he had just formed."

"They were mentioned in the last battle report of the 93rd Regiment, and the Eighth Route Army's Shanxi-Cha-Hebei Military Region also confirmed the cooperation relationship between the two sides to us." Chief of Staff Lu Yinglin thought for a while and added in a low voice.

Fu Zuoyi frowned and thought for a while. Sure enough, he found the relevant content from his memory. He originally thought that a company-level combat unit belonged to a local army. Even if he could give some help to the 93rd Regiment, it was symbolic and might not have any practical effect. Now it seems that he once again underestimated the sincerity of cooperation among the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time ignored the good intentions of his subordinates.

After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the All-Road Army. Even if he doesn't like Sun Lanfeng's little moves to please him privately, he can't let the other party's heart be cold. Thinking of this section, Fu Zuoyi smiled and whispered, "I have reported to the Military Committee for the formation of the New 31st Division. I will be able to approve it soon. Wanjiu, you can start making corresponding preparations now. If you want to build, let's ask instructors from the Soviet Union to build the most professional cavalry regiment in the country. As for the Eighth Route Army's North Military Sub-district, after this cooperation is over, you can thank them as much as you should. The entire Black Stone Guerrilla Brigade must be completely returned to them."

"Yes." Sun Lanfeng's face immediately turned into a big red cloth, saluted Fu Zuoyi, and made a promise loudly.

"The full cooperation of the Jin army may not be expected recently." He sighed softly again, and Fu Zuoyi seemed to be talking to himself, and explained to everyone present, "At present, our Northern Army has only one ally left in the north, so the relationship that should be maintained must continue to be maintained. Ruifeng, you can send a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Zhu later, saying that considering the difficulties faced by the 18th Army, I have a batch of unsealed arms here, and I can support them nearby and ask them to send people to contact us as soon as possible."

"Okay." Lu Yinglin thought for a while and agreed with a wry smile. In order to maintain and support with the Jin army, and to respond to the call of the Kuomintang Central Committee, the Northern Route Army took the initiative to alienate its relationship with the Eighth Route Army and sent all the representatives and staff of the Eighth Route Army out of the country. Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, the Jin army, who had once had a common temper, became a fence-bearer. In order to ensure that he would not fight alone in the future, Fu Zuoyi had to take the initiative to show kindness to the Eighth Route Army and repair the relationship between the two sides.

"Wanjiu, send a telegram to the 93rd Regiment and tell them the current situation, let them and the Black Stone Guerrillas immediately leave Xilingol and move south quickly to avoid the Japanese Morikawa United. If you really can't avoid it, turn to Jining, enter the pass from there, and seek asylum from the nearby General He Long." (Note 2)

Note 1: In the early days of the Japanese invasion of China, the main force was completely imitated by the German system and divided into divisions, brigades, gangs, brigades, brigades, etc. The force of one division was equivalent to an army of the National Revolutionary Army, the brigades were equivalent to a division, and the brigades were equivalent to a brigade. Later, the organization of both sides changed greatly, and this correspondence was no longer established.
