Chapter 38 The Road to the Army
Someone actually publicly supported Hu Fei without Sun Tongxuan's statement? Not to mention others, even Hu Fei himself did not expect it! In amazement, he looked in the direction of the voice and saw He Cuizhi, the commander of the 81st Division, blinking at him. It turned out to be him!
The first battle Hu Fei fought after coming to Zhengzhou was the battle in Huanggang Temple. He led the 88th Column there and lifted the 81st Division. He Cuizhi was repaying his favor and repaying Hu Fei's original relief, and he also lifted the siege for him!
He Cuizhi is the old-fashioned general of Sun Tongxuan, and his connections are not just a joke. As soon as He Cuizhi finished speaking, three or four generals stood up one after another to express his support.
There are supporters, and Zhou Zunshi, the commander of the 20th Division, expressed his opposition. Commander Zhou is also an old man of the Sun Group and also has a large group of supporters. After Zhou Zunshi finished speaking, someone stood up and planned to participate in the defense. Sun Tongxuan quickly waved her hand to stop him.
"Stop, stop, stop! Please sit down. We are a military conference, not a military negotiation. If you want to continue the debate, two people will argue casually. Don't show off here! If others don't have any other new ideas, we will end the free discussion. Let me tell you a few words."
"The words that Commander Hu just said are thought-provoking and have a profound truth. I have read very few books and don't know much about military tactics. However, I understand what Commander Mantian said about surrounding the Japanese. He besieged the Japanese on three sides, leaving him a way out. We chased him from behind, letting him run away all the way, with many casualties. Hehe, it sounds exciting! Good idea, Mantian, I support you!"
Although non-Central Army generals like Sun Tongxuan are good at factional struggles, they also have a pair of golden eyes that can see right and wrong. Just as Sun Tongxuan himself said, perhaps he has little study and does not know much about military tactics, but it does not mean that he has no vision!
Hu Fei's three circumferences and one slightest idea is a good idea, and it is an extremely clever combat strategy. If Hu Fei's method is to fight, he can kill fewer people and win battles. Sun Tongxuan understands this very clearly. With such support, what else can others say?
Zhou Zunshi, the commander of the 20th Division, immediately changed his attitude and supported the three quarts and one combat method! He did not support Hu Fei but supported this combat method, or Sun Tongxuan! When Commander-in-Chief Sun asked who supported and who opposed it, all the generals present raised their hands to pass.
The three sieges and ones have been determined. Next is to discuss specific tactics, how to sieges and ones? How to sieges and ones? How did the troops change from siege to pursuit? Tasks are arranged one by one to every leader present, and every unit on this battlefield.
"Mantian, I want to thank you. Without you, I wouldn't know how many people would be left in the Third Army after this war." Sun Tongxuan held Hu Fei's hand and was sincerely grateful.
"Brother Yinting, you are too modest. With you, the ever-winning general, here, the Third Army will never disappear." Hu Fei had already made the best of his flattery. After a light sentence, Sun Tongxuan immediately smiled.
The two of them said goodbye and met He Cuizhi again after leaving the gate. Hu Fei naturally wanted to express his gratitude to Commander He for his righteous help. He Cuizhi said a few humble words, and the relationship between the two seemed to be one step closer.
In order not to make the Japanese suspect, Zhou Zunshi led the 20th Division to fight for another night, and until dawn, he slowly retreated with his troops.
The commander of the Japanese Brigade, Ryuichi Ishikawa, was almost wiped his neck now. His original intention was to rescue the Yamada United, but he didn't expect that the Yamada United team would be rescued and he also trapped himself! The Chinese army of the Third Army was surrounded by the Chinese army, and he only had more than one thousand people in his hands. A semi-disabled corps with insufficient medical treatment and medicine. How could you break through?
Ryuichi Ishikawa's only hope is to come to reinforcements. But he has been waiting for a day, why haven't the reinforcements come yet? He has sent the telegram for help five times, and the answer he got was always that reinforcements were on the way. Where did they transfer reinforcements from? Could they be from Japan? If that were the case, reinforcements would not come next month!
The sound of gunfires upset him all night, and he picked up his cup and took a sip of sweet sake, which made him feel a little better. "Kojiro!" The commander of the Ishikawa Brigade howled at the top of his throat, and a Japanese man with the rank of sergeant commander trotted in, "What's the matter?"
"Uh. What time is it now?" He burped and stopped for a while before he remembered to ask about the time.
"It's now, 6:23 in the morning." The orderly man looked at his watch and reported an accurate time.
"Six twenty? It's morning again. Uh. I don't know if my hen will lay another egg today? And that goat." The guy mumbled and didn't know what to mutter. The orderly man just thought it was this guy talking in his sleep with hysteria, and he didn't hear it.
"Dingling--" The phone on the table suddenly rang, and the orderly snatched forward and grabbed the microphone, and handed it to his master after hearing it for a moment.
"Oh. What did you say? The 20th Division was defeated? Yosi, Sato, you have made great contributions! Order the troops to advance immediately and build a road for the main force of the corps!" After hanging up the phone, Ryuichi Ishikawa had already wiped out the depressed mood just now, and patted the orderly shoulder with full energy and told him: After this battle, he will be promoted to Chief Cao!
The orderly officer's thankful voice obviously made the general feel better. The radiant leader of the Ishikawa Brigade issued an order to advance quickly to the army. The Japanese soldiers of the Yamada United took their rifles, carried their luggage, and hurriedly lined up to start the army, but they didn't know whether this road ahead would lead to a paradise of happiness or a hell of death.
The 88th Column is also one of the many pursuit troops. Before the pursuit operation began, Hu Fei gave the troops an order, chase me hard! Don’t be afraid of making things worse, Sun Tongxuan is also with us. The war zone commander Wei Lihuang is behind Sun Tongxuan. What are we afraid of?
With Hu Fei's order, the troops of the 88th Column immediately started to move. Except for the disbanded Third Regiment, the remaining First Regiment, Second Regiment, New Regiment, Cavalry Regiment, Independent Regiment, Five main regiments divided into five groups and chased forward desperately! If they caught up with the Japanese, they would fight, but if they could not beat them, they would fight together!
