It was already New Year's Eve, and the Chinese army and the Japanese army still had no clue about the battle at Kunchang Pass. Yongxiang could hardly help but ask Hu Zhiyong to fight, but Wen Liang gave him a look to calm down his anger.
Hu Zhiyong had never seen the Chinese army fighting, and he had many emotions during the two days of contact: "No wonder the Chinese army was defeated and retreated to the mainland. Such combat effectiveness and such commanders do not resemble the army of a country."
"Hey, who are you? You are so arrogant!" A general came over and was very dissatisfied with what Hu Zhiyong just said.
Zheng Tingji, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the Honorary 1st Division of the 5th Army, saw that Xia Wei, the commander of the 16th Group Army, did not know Hu Zhiyong, so he hurriedly came over to introduce him. Hu Zhiyong interrupted him and said with appreciation: "Commander Zheng, I heard that you killed a group of Japanese officers.
, it’s amazing!”
"Ha, on my circuitous road, I found Japanese officers gathering for a meeting on the grassland beside Jiutang Highway. I immediately ordered the first battalion to concentrate firepower with light and heavy machine guns and mortars. The shells hit the target and the enemy officers were killed or injured.
Tragic. I heard that Major General Masao Nakamura was also inside, but it’s a pity that I didn’t go to check!”
Mentioning his most proud thing, Zheng Tingji forgot what he came here to do. Wen Liang observed his appearance and appeared in time to say to Captain Zheng: "Captain Zheng, you have meritorious service in killing the Japanese officer. Come here, I will send you off."
A good cigarette!”
What Wen Liang took out was the highest-end cigarette in a hard box. Hu Zhiyong smiled after seeing it: "Captain Zheng, the value of this cigarette is 680 yuan."
"What?" Zheng Tingji was startled. He didn't dare to reach out and take it. The gift was too expensive.
"Come here, you have nothing but clothes and no hat. I'll give you a lighter!" Dechang took out a sparkling gasoline lighter and threw it generously into Zheng Tingji's arms.
"Yellow-gold!" Zheng Tingji was frightened. This is more valuable than that carton of cigarettes!
"What are they doing?" Xia Wei, commander of the 16th Group Army, was angry. These four people in strange clothes did not take him seriously, but gave valuable gifts to a small regiment leader.
"Report to the commander, they are blood wolves!" Zheng Tingji saluted hurriedly and answered loudly.
"Blood Wolf?" Xia Wei was confused. The national army still has such a code name?
He had just returned from a funeral at home and commanded the West Route Army to attack Gaofeng Pass to prevent the Japanese army from reinforcing Nanning. When he heard that only two armies were under his command, he angrily came to Bai Chongxi to give up his position.
He thought these people in front of him were members of Dai Li's military command. He glanced at the humble Hu Zhiyong with contempt, and said shamelessly: "We are fighting hard on the front line, but you will only cause trouble in the rear!"
Hu Zhiyong was too lazy to pay attention to him. He pulled Zheng Tingjiu to sit down on the stone bars in the yard and talked to him about the Fifth Army's attack on Kuncang Pass. There are also people in the national army who can fight and are not afraid of death, and the Fifth Army is one of them.
one.
Jieshou Highland is located in the north of Kunlun Pass and is the enemy's strongest stronghold. The third regiment of the 1st Division of Zheng Tingjirong, assigned by Du Yuming to command the 200th Division, was tasked with attacking the enemy. On the evening of the 28th, the regiment began to attack Jieshou Highland. Although enemy planes
With overhead strafing and bombing, the regiment had high morale and fought tenaciously regardless of sacrifice.
Zheng Tingji organized blasters and stuffed grenades into the enemy stronghold's gun holes. Seven of the nine infantry companies in the regiment were killed or injured! Li Jun, the commander next to him, was also shot and died, but he always fought on the front line and finally died in the battle.
On the morning of the 29th, the Jieshou Highland was captured. On the 30th, the newly formed 22nd Division Deng Junlin Regiment successfully captured the Kunlun Pass.
Heroes cherish heroes, and Hu Zhiyong will certainly not be stingy. He pointed to the dining car outside the yard and said to Yongxiang: "Go, give each member of the third regiment a new military uniform and give them ten silver dollars. The dead brother asked for his hometown address.
Give me 500 yuan as settlement allowance!"
Zheng Tingji looked at Hu Zhiyong gratefully and said excitedly: "We don't have good instructors. Please send me some to train the troops!"
"If you are not afraid of getting tired, I will ask Wen Liang, the commander of the Third Blood Wolf Regiment, to lead you to fight a more beautiful battle!" Hu Zhiyong knew that what is needed now is morale. The remaining troops of the Japanese 21st Brigade and the 3rd Taiwan Mixed Brigade
1. The Second Regiment is still between Jiutang and Batang. Hu Zhiyong wants to annihilate this enemy force in one fell swoop before the Japanese reinforcements arrive.
"I, I, I only have a few hundred men left." Hearing that he was going to attack Highland 441, Zheng Tingji lowered his head angrily.
"Are you afraid? Are you beaten to death?" Hu Zhiyong glared at him sternly: "The Japanese army is not large in number. If you have the guts, I guarantee that you will successfully capture Batang!"
"At worst, the whole group will die. I never know how to write the word "fear"!" Zheng Tingji stood up excitedly and shouted unconvinced.
"Okay, this is a good soldier!" Hu Zhiyong said to Wen Liang: "Assign your commander to Commander Zheng. You will be responsible for the specific tactics. Use the third regiment of Rong 1st Division to defeat the Japanese army."
"Yes! Commander Zheng, please give me the command." After Wen Liang agreed, he walked to Zheng Tingji and asked.
Zheng Dongguo came over and said to Zheng Tingji: "I will add another battalion to you, and you hand over the troops to the commander of the Third Blood Wolf Regiment. Remember, after this battle is over, go and ask the third commander for a regiment of new tanks!"
"Yes!" Zheng Tingji was excited. The troops added that after the war there was also new equipment for a regiment. He hurriedly pulled Wen Liang away.
Hu Zhiyong chuckled and said: "Commander Zheng, one of my new tanks is worth tens of millions, and you want a regiment with just your mouth."
"Ten million? What's the price of an airplane? Who are you trying to fool?" Zheng Dongguo thought Hu Zhiyong was joking and retorted.
"It's really tens of millions!" Hu Zhiyong stood up and said to Dechang: "Go, show our new tank to Commander Zheng."
"yes!"
The new tank produced by Hu Zhiyong borrows the design concept of the previous Soviet T-72. The front of the turret adopts a wedge-shaped design similar to the German "Leopard" main battle tank. The protection capability of the turret is equivalent to 800 and 1000mm thick armor, which greatly improves the
Ability to protect against various armor-piercing projectiles.
The tank driver is located in the front center of the tank body. There is a single hatch above the cab. The mirror room in front of the hatch is equipped with a single day periscope and two periscopes. In addition, the driver is also equipped with a
Passive (low-light) dual-day night vision periscope, night vision distance is 200m.
The weapon system of the new tank is equipped with a 50 times caliber 125mm high-bore pressure smoothbore tank gun. The gun can be fired with electronic ignition device, electric percussion and mechanical manual percussion.
Auxiliary weapons include a Type 86 7.62mm parallel machine gun, which uses a remote control electric generator and is fed by a belt. In order to facilitate shooting, there are three anti-aircraft machine gun mounts on the turret of China's new tank, including those in front of the commander's command tower and
There is one on the right side and one on the left side of the gunner's command tower. In addition, each of the three tank members is equipped with a short assault rifle.
The new tank suddenly appeared, alarming all the officers in the headquarters. The tank has a novel design, powerful gunfire, and more importantly, it can see the target at night and has anti-aircraft weapons.
Zheng Dongguo smiled: "Tens of millions, I'll make it now!"
Hu Zhiyong shook his head: "I really don't have a hundred such tanks. I have to wait a month. If you really want them, give me the troops to train you."
"Deal!" Not to mention a month, even half a year, he was willing to wait to get such a tank.
The battle to attack Batang has begun. I heard that the commander of Xuelang was commanding the battle. Everyone climbed up to a high place to watch with binoculars. The soldiers were still from the Rong 1st Division, but under the commander of Xuelang's platoon company
Under the command, they were divided into three-person groups and dispersed to attack the target.
They saw Xue Lang's rifle, as if they had never seen it before. But the shooting speed, distance, and accuracy surprised them. There was no artillery cover, and there was no machine gun cover. All the enemy had to do was shoot at the enemy's target.
Will use the rifle to clear out targets found.
They were very close to the Japanese position. The soldiers of the Blood Wolf took out grenades and motioned to the Chinese soldiers who were following them to imitate their example.
"still!"
Wen Liang shouted, and rows of grenades were thrown into the Japanese army's position. Before the smoke cleared, the blood wolves crawled close to the Japanese bunker and stuffed the grenades into the enemy's fortifications.
"Boom -" Before the explosion could even end, the blood wolf began to rush towards the next target again.
"Not afraid of death, this is a commendable spirit for soldiers. But we do not advocate death. Only by protecting ourselves can we destroy the enemy! The Japanese army dug a hole and exposed the machine gun holes, but the commander forced his men to go
A collective charge is the most stupid behavior!"
Hu Zhiyong watched and talked, explaining the blood wolf tactics to these national army generals. Hu Zhiyong had many advanced weapons, but he taught the national army a vivid lesson without using them.
The Xue Lang's vigorous figure and his judgment in timing the charge impressed these national army soldiers. Rather than saying that this battle was an attack by a regiment of Rong's 1st Division, it is better to say that the Xue Lang only needed less than a hundred men.
Defeated the more than 700 Japanese tiger and wolf divisions guarding Position 441.
"The national army represents the army of a country. But what I have seen is that they are much more greedy for life and afraid of death, much more timid, much more commanding mistakes, and much more fleeing in the face of battle! Of course, there are also some soldiers who fight bravely.
But the various ministries were unable to form an effective attack, and the 300,000 national troops were beaten like this by less than 50,000 Japanese troops. Don't you feel blushing!"
Hu Zhiyong was explaining the use of tactics at first, but then he became more and more excited, and even made these generals unable to hold their heads up. Xia Wei snorted: "A small victory has made you so good, you have the ability.
You stand up and take command and drive out all the Japanese troops attacking Hainan!"
"Okay, you hand over your 7th Army and 46th Army to me, and I will drive out all the enemies of Nanning!" Hu Zhiyong looked at the national army generals seriously and said: "The two armies cooperate with my more than 10,000 people.
After the war, all officers in these two armies are asked to resign en masse!"
"You——" Xia Wei was trembling with anger, but could not accuse Hu Zhiyong.
"I agree!" Chiang Kai-shek was extremely dissatisfied with the slow progress of the Kunlun Pass Battle and the entire Guinan Campaign. Therefore, he personally led Li Jishen, Chen Cheng, and others to Qianjiang: "Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, there are still disagreements among the commanders of the 16th Group Army.
.Master Hu was able to defeat the Japanese army with only two of your armies, shouldn't you be punished?"
