"Brother Liu, let's see what good things I have brought for you." Ge Kunshan, who had disappeared from Mengcheng for three full days, came back to Mengcheng and came to the military camp of the militia. This made Liu Yangyang somewhat unexpected. Tang
However, Cheng Cheng noticed the change in Ge Kunshan's name for Liu Yangyang. When he met Ge Kunshan before, Ge Kunshan called Liu Yangyang "Liu Company Commander". Later, when he asked Liu Yangyang for help in training the militia, he called Liu Yangang "Chief Liu". Now, the three
Ge Kunshan, who had disappeared from sight, began to call Liu Yangyang "Brother Liu". The change in the title during this period made Tangcheng secretly wonder about Ge Kunshan's purpose.
Liu Yangyang was stunned for a moment. He must have noticed Ge Kunshan's change in name and the inexplicable familiarity with him. "Brother Liu, you are really my lucky general. When I go to the provincial capital this time, guess what?"
Guess who I met?" Ge Kunshan, who was familiar with him, pulled up a chair and sat down, seemingly eagerly waiting for Liu Yangyang's answer, with inexplicable excitement in his eyes.
Liu Yangyang secretly cursed me, how could I know who your *** met in the provincial capital? Ge Kunshan is a county magistrate after all, so Liu Yangyang naturally couldn't get angry in person, so he could only smile and shake his head to express that he couldn't guess. "Even me.
I didn't expect to meet you, Chief Li, in the provincial capital." Ge Kunshan finally revealed the mystery with a slap on his thigh. His action, which looked like an old farmer's downward movement, almost made Tang Cheng, who was sitting next to him, laugh, but he was so impressed by Ge Kunshan.
The Chief Li that Kunshan mentioned was quite interesting.
"I escorted the three Japanese soldiers to the provincial capital that day. I wanted to send them directly to the provincial capital, but unexpectedly I met Commander Li from the Fifth War Zone at the provincial capital." Ge Kunshan mentioned that he met Li Zongren.
When he was talking, foam was flying from his lips and teeth, and he looked like a country man who had never seen the world. Now it was not only Liu Yangyang who was secretly cursing Ge Kunshan, but even Tang Cheng, who was sitting aside and cleaning his gun, couldn't help but squint at Ge Kunshan.
, the disgust and contempt in his eyes are clearly evident.
"County Magistrate Ge, let's not talk about this for now. I want to ask how the war is going now? Have you heard any news about the 88th Division in the provincial capital?" Seeing Ge Kunshan getting more and more excited, Liu Yangyang had no choice but to interrupt.
Liu Yangyang had lost contact with other troops in the army since he arrived in Mengcheng. Since Ge Kunshan met Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater in the provincial capital, Liu Yangyang guessed that Ge Kunshan must still know
Some other news related to **.
Ge Kunshan, who was interrupted by Liu Yangyang, was not angry. He first picked up the teacup on the table and took a long gulp, and then looked at Liu Yangyang with a heavy expression, "To be honest, I didn't find out about you 88 in the provincial capital.
We know a lot about the division, but we know a lot about the Japanese Army. The current war situation is very worrying. Although the Fifth War Zone of the Japanese Army won a great victory with the support of Chief Li, it is an indisputable fact that the Japanese army is now powerful.
Chief Li went to the provincial capital this time to inspect the defense line. I heard that Chief Li is planning to shrink the defense line in the fifth theater and will shrink the troops to the borders of Henan and Anhui."
"A great victory?" Four months in Mengcheng have made Liu Yangyang a worldly expert who doesn't care about worldly affairs, so Liu Yangyang is eager to know what Ge Kunshan refers to by a great victory. See.
Liu Yangyang asked about this matter so impatiently, Ge Kunshan's face showed a look that he had known you would be like this, and then he took out several expired newspapers from his briefcase and handed them to Liu Yangyang.
, indicating that all the content he just said had been published in newspapers.
Liu Yangyang is almost illiterate, so he can only leave the job of reading newspapers and news to Tang Cheng, but Ge Kunshan doesn't want to waste his time. "Brother Liu, I really brought you something good this time."
, take a look." Ge Kunshan opened his black briefcase again, took out a letter of appointment and handed it to Liu Yangyang. "This is the appointment I want for you from Commander Li of the Fifth War Zone.
"Zhuang, you are now the major commander of our Mengcheng garrison. You can appoint other officers of the garrison on your own. How about it? Is this gift of mine substantial enough?"
Looking at Ge Kunshan's smiling face, Liu Yangyang wished he could immediately punch this unbeatable face like a pig's head. On the surface, this appointment letter seemed to elevate his military rank to
Major, but this major is a major of the local garrison, and his weight is much different from that of his current captain of the 88th Division. Ge Kunshan, a guy who doesn't understand military affairs, actually made him, a captain of the direct line of the army,
He became a third-rate major of a local militia. If those familiar with him in the 88th Division found out, his face would be completely lost.
Tang Cheng, who was a bystander, didn't know this. From the memory he could know, the major was naturally higher than the captain. Besides, Liu Yangyang was only a small company commander at first, but now he became the regiment commander.
He skipped the level of battalion commander. He didn't pay attention to Liu Yangyang's face. Tang Cheng just lowered his head and flipped through the newspapers. Liu Yangyang wanted to know the current war situation, but Tang Cheng wanted to know how Shanghai was doing now.
"I also brought you your major's military uniform, as well as a batch of munitions brought back from the provincial capital. Send someone to the yard to count them. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first." Seeing Liu Yangyang.
Ge Kunshan, who wanted to take Liu Yangyang to a restaurant to celebrate, said goodbye and left immediately. Anyway, Liu Yangyang is now the leader of the Mengcheng garrison, and he will have plenty of time to drink in the future, using the excuse of being anxious.
Ge Kunshan, who returned to the county capital, was not in a hurry for this moment.
"This old bastard, if I hadn't been injured, I would have killed this old bastard here just now." Liu Yangyang turned around as he watched the truck Ge Kunshan was riding in leave the military camp from a distance.
His face immediately changed, and he showed an expression of wanting to kill someone to avenge his hatred, which made Tang Cheng feel confused. "I'm a captain officer of a regular direct line unit, but this old bastard got me into an unknown place."
In the shitty guard regiment, what kind of fucking major commander is not as effective as a second lieutenant platoon leader of the 88th Division?"
Liu Yangyang banged the table and threw the teacup for a long time before Tang Cheng understood the difference between a captain in the regular army and a major in the third-rate local army. It turned out that what he had thought before was wrong, and Ge Kunshan had done it with good intentions.
It's bad. "What a damn good intention, this old bastard Ge Kunshan just wanted us to fight, so he tied us up in Mengcheng to guard his house for him." Liu Yangyang revealed the mystery in one sentence, Tangcheng's
Only then did I realize that I had jumped from one cannon fodder pit to another, and the pit in Mengcheng was obviously more dangerous than Nanjing.
"Then what should we do? We may not be able to leave now even if we want to. Since Ge Kunshan wants to tie us here in Mengcheng, he will never watch us leave." Tang Cheng has no idea now.
I can only place my hope on Liu Yangyang, but unfortunately Liu Yangyang has been so angry that he can't come up with a suitable idea now. He just sits there and thinks about it, but he can't come up with any good ideas. Liu Yangyang, who is anxious and angry, just simply
He asked Tang Cheng to read him war-related news from the newspapers. After reading more than a dozen newspapers, the afternoon passed.
"It seems that the situation is not good." After listening to the news read in Tangcheng, Liu Yangyang's face became even colder. The great victory Ge Kunshan mentioned should refer to the Taierzhuang victory reported in the newspaper. On March 1, the Japanese army
After the Segu Detachment of the 10th Division advanced southward and captured Xuecheng, Zaozhuang, and Hanzhuang in Lincheng, it ignored the obstruction of the 5th Division and the Nagase Detachment of the 10th Division in attacking on both sides. It went deep alone and advanced toward Taierzhuang in an attempt to capture Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
The commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, Li Zongren, and the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Army, Sun Lianzhong, led his troops to stay in Taierzhuang. The commanders of the 2nd Army, Tang Enbo and Feng Yizhong, led their troops to move away from the front of the Jinpu Railway and move into Lanling and the Yungu Mountains in the northwest to lure the enemy deep into the area and wait.
Destroy the enemy.
On March 23, the Japanese army moved south from Zaozhuang and engaged the defenders' security forces in Kangzhuang and Nigou areas on the north side of Taierzhuang. From the 24th, the Japanese army repeatedly attacked Taierzhuang and broke into the village many times. The defenders' 2nd Group Army
Fighting tenaciously, they launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army. The Fifth Theater Group used the main force of the Second Army to maneuver towards Taierzhuang, turning the enemy's back, forming an internal and external pincer attack with the Second Army, and ordered the Third Army to advance to Lincheng, north of Zaozhuang
, to cut off the enemy's rear. In order to relieve the danger in front of Taierzhuang, the Japanese army quickly sent the Sakamoto detachment of the 5th Division from Linyi to rush to the Qiuhu area north of Lanling, and was immediately surrounded by the 52nd Army of the 3rd Army. On April 3,
The Fifth Theater launched a full-line counterattack and fought fiercely for four days, annihilating most of the Japanese Setani detachment and the first section of the Sakamoto detachment, with a total of more than 10,000 people. The remaining Japanese remnants retreated to Yicheng and Zaozhuang on the 7th.
Judging from what was reported in the newspaper, the Battle of Taierzhuang, which wiped out more than 10,000 enemies, was indeed a great victory for the Communist Party. However, before the Battle of Taierzhuang, the defense zone of the Fifth Theater was successively attacked by the Japanese army and broke through. January 26
, the Japanese 13th Division attacked Fengyang and Bengbu, Anhui Province. On February 3, the Japanese army successively captured Linhuaiguan and Bengbu. On the 9th and 10th, the main force of the Japanese 13th Division was at Bengbu and Linhuaiguan respectively, forcibly crossing the Huaihe River and heading to the north bank.
Launch an attack.
In late February, the Japanese 2nd Army began to divide its routes to the south. The 5th Division of the East Route went south from Weifang, Weixian County, Shandong Province, and fell into Yishui, Juxian, and Rizhao, and went straight to Linyi. The Nagase Detachment of the Japanese 10th Division on the West Route started from Jining.
The area crossed the canal to the west and attacked Jiaxiang. After encountering stubborn resistance from the 3rd Army, the Segu detachment, which was frustrated in the attack, immediately moved south along the Jinpu Railway. On March 14, it attacked Teng County from Liangxiadian south of Zoucheng in Zouxian County.
On the 17th, Teng County was captured.
Liu Yangyang listened attentively to every word read by Tang Cheng, wishing he could break these words apart, crush them into pieces, and engrav them in his mind. Although the Japanese army had just experienced the defeat at Taierzhuang, they were still coming with great force. Judging from the current situation,
See, the Japanese did not yet have the ability to mobilize heavy troops to fight against the Japanese army. Tang Cheng, who was driven back to sleep, did not know that Liu Yangyang had been sitting in the chair all night without closing his eyes.
