"Not interested." No matter what the guerrilla leader, who claimed to be surnamed Li, said, Tang Cheng, who was sullen and smoking, could only reply with three words: "not interested." Speaking of which, the whole thing was a bit weird. This group of guerrillas
First, he inquired about things about himself in Longgang Town, then he ambushed halfway and tied up Hou San and Wu Laosan. Then he used bullets to test himself, and finally it was to seek help from himself. This kind of thing has never been claimed by himself.
It was said by the guerrillas, but Tangcheng didn't believe it at all.
"Company Commander Tang, what can I say to make you believe it? More than 100 villagers are being driven towards Xiushui by a Japanese army. If we don't rescue them, those villagers will probably be harmed by the Japanese army. Company Commander Tang, I know
You are a conscientious Chinese, you are an officer, you are a Japs fighter, how can you bear to watch more than 100 villagers die at the hands of Japs?" Li Changshun looked at Tangcheng helplessly, but the latter
He still had an expression of unwillingness to talk to him, and Li Changshun's heart went cold when he saw it.
Li Changshun's intelligence agents stayed in Longgang Town for more than a day or two. His intelligence agents also found out about Tangcheng from the Sichuan troops in Longgang Town. They learned that Tangcheng was young at a young age.
Already the company commander of the national army, Li Changshun's first impression was that Tang Cheng was like other national troops, a guy who could only retreat but not fight. But I heard that Tang Cheng led 100 Sichuan troops to cross the Fushui River.
Looking for Japanese troops to fight, Li Changshun immediately changed his view of Tangcheng, which was also his main intention to seek help from Tangcheng.
When he turned to Tang Cheng for help, Li Changshun was initially confident. He felt that Tang Cheng, a national army officer who took the initiative to look for Japanese troops to fight, was definitely not a cold-blooded person. However, it turned out that he was wrong, and Tang Cheng ignored him at all.
"Since Captain Tang refuses to save us, we have no choice but to say goodbye. I hope you won't regret it, Captain Tang." Although Li Changshun had made up his mind to leave, he was still a little unwilling before leaving, and was still thinking about Tang.
The city can change its mind.
"Let's go slowly, without seeing you off." Li Changshun's expectations were obviously disappointed again. When he heard that he wanted to leave, Tang Cheng just said a faint polite word, and then there was no response. He sighed secretly, and Li Changshun had to take his men with him.
The guerrillas said goodbye and left. Tangcheng did not want to seize the weapons of the guerrillas, so he motioned to Li Shitou to return all the weapons and ammunition to the guerrillas. Li Changshun and his men disappeared into the wilderness, and Tangcheng
They continued on the road. Hou San and Wu Laosan, who had retrieved their weapons, were somewhat discouraged. After some words from Lao Dongbei, they continued to go forward as scouts to explore the road.
Back on the road, Tangcheng and Laodongbei seemed to have completely forgotten about the guerrillas that had just appeared, and why the guerrillas stopped Hou San and Wu Laosan. "We really don't care about those captured by the little devils."
Ordinary people?" Tang Cheng never thought of forgetting the guerrillas who had just left, but he didn't expect that the person who asked the question would be Fatty Ma. Fatty Ma, who was born in the Imperial Association Army, was a good cook, but he was a bit timid. Fatty Ma
The sudden worry about the common people mentioned by the guerrillas was indeed beyond Tang Cheng's expectation. He originally thought that Tan Fei would ask about it first.
Tan Fei, who has always been nicknamed glasses by Tangcheng, is an outlier. Not only can he read and write, but Tan Fei is also a college student. Among the big bosses around Tangcheng, Tan Fei seems to be an outlier. "You know.
What, the man surnamed Li just said that there are more than 100 little devils, and we are only a few people. Even if we count the few heads of guerrillas, we are less than half of their number. With just these few people, we can go find the little devils.
If the Japanese are fighting hard, they will die in vain." Seeing that Old Dongbei had frowned, Liu Shitou quickly spoke first, so that Old Dongbei would not lecture Fatty Ma about this matter again.
"Save up some energy. Who of you can guarantee that we won't encounter the Japanese army on the way? Save up your energy to fight the Japanese." Old Northeast glanced sideways at Liu Shitou, who was smiling at him, and then glanced at him.
He glanced at Tang Cheng, who was still lying on his back. Tang Cheng was in a state of wandering mind at the moment, and had no idea about the flirting between Liu Shitou and Lao Dongbei. Even if Tang Cheng saw it, he probably wouldn't say anything.
The night before leaving Longgang Town, Tang Cheng went to Zhang Leshan's headquarters alone. Although the Sichuan Army's troops were not favored by the government, the 30th Army was still able to obtain a lot of information about the current situation. Zhang Leshan's Infantry Regiment
It is a unit affiliated with the 30th Army. Naturally, his headquarters will have a lot of information that Tangcheng is interested in. Tangcheng is interested in information related to the current situation, especially the information related to the south.
After Tang Cheng left Wuhan, he went directly to Xiaojieling. After Xiaojieling, he fled all the way south. During this period, Tang Cheng had a dark eye on the current situation. He promised Zhang Leshan to help him get weapons.
Ammunition, Tang Cheng's original intention was to befriend Zhang Leshan and then obtain information about the current situation from Zhang Leshan.
After the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese mainland divided the tasks of the Japanese troops stationed in China, and they prepared to implement regional governance in the occupied areas. The 11th Japanese Army Group Stationed in Wuhan actually became the only Japanese army to conduct field attacks on China.
, formed a confrontation with the main force of the National Army guarding the southwest rear area in Hunan, China and its surrounding Jiangxi and Guangxi areas, and constantly looked for opportunities to attack, in an attempt to use military strikes to cooperate with the Japanese government's political surrender strategy to force the Chongqing National Government to surrender. Provided by Zhang Leshan
Intelligence showed that the Japanese army conducted several large-scale battles in the above-mentioned areas. During this period, the Japanese army adopted the policy of using offense as defense, pre-emptive strikes, and defeating each enemy, forcing the national army to continue to retreat southward.
Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province, located south of Jiujiang, between the Ganjiang River and Poyang Lake, and adjacent to the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway to the south. It is one of the important strategic bases of the Ninth Theater. After the Wuhan Battle, the National Government established the 9th and 5th Army in the north and south of the Yangtze River respectively.
The war zone heavily deployed troops to encircle Wuhan. The strategic position of the Nanchang area became even more prominent. It not only protected the strategic transportation line connecting the 3rd and 9th war zones, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, but also served as a strategic base for China to gather heavy troops, posing a major threat to the Japanese army.
There is also an airport in Nanchang. Nationalist aircraft often go to the Yangtze River to bomb Japanese warships, so the Japanese army must bear the brunt of attacking Nanchang.
In late October 1938, the National Army was already withdrawing from Wuhan in a planned manner, but nearly 90 divisions of troops were still deployed around Wuhan. To the west and north of Wuhan were the 6 group armies and 13 armies of Li Zongren's fifth theater.
34 infantry divisions, 1 cavalry division and 1 cavalry brigade are deployed in the vast areas of western Anhui, southern Henan, southern Hubei and northwest Hubei; south and east of Wuhan are 21 of the 8 group armies of the 9th Theater Command under Xue Yue
The army's 52 infantry divisions are deployed in the key areas of northwest Jiangxi, southern Hubei and Hunan. In addition, there are a number of special forces and local guerrilla forces in the two war zones. The above forces form an encirclement situation around Wuhan. To the east of the ninth war zone, Gu
I wish Tong's 4 group armies, 22 infantry divisions and 2 infantry brigades in the Third Theater Command can support each other with the Ninth Theater Command.
On the contrary, in order to consolidate the occupation of Wuhan and ensure the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Japanese 11th Army was stationed in Wuhan. There were 7 divisions and 2 independent mixed brigades in its sequence. Each army had more capabilities than other districts and
Mobile forces are the main force that continues to carry out attacks on China's frontal battlefields. The Japanese military's combat area is generally maintained in the areas between Anqing, Xinyang, Yueyang, Nanchang and nearby key points centered on Wuhan.
Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province. It is the intersection of the Nanxun Railway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway. It is the hub of the rear contact lines and supply lines of China's Ninth Theater and the Third Theater. It has an important strategic position. The Chinese Air Force uses Nanchang Airport as its base and often attacks
The Japanese naval ships sailing in the Yangtze River near Jiujiang posed a great threat to the Japanese army's rear supply lines of communication in Jiujiang and Wuhan. Therefore, if the Japanese army wanted to improve its posture in central China, it must attack Nanchang and occupy it.
Tang Cheng went to Zhang Leshan just to learn about the current movements and arrangements of the Japanese army. It was Zhang Leshan who told Tang Cheng the news that the Japanese army was about to capture Nanchang. Zhang Leshan did not know that Tang Cheng had already understood the situation of Nanchang from the fall of Jiujiang.
, otherwise Tang Cheng would not have had to go south to Changsha. The information provided by Zhang Leshan was not related to the 88th Division, and Tangcheng could not find the whereabouts of the 88th Division from the information provided by Zhang Leshan. He only knows now
Wuhan has been lost, and the Japanese army is about to attack Nanchang.
The Japanese map captured from the Japanese army had already been read over by Tangcheng, so Tangcheng knew very well where Nanchang was. A large number of national army troops were now gathering in the Nanchang area. According to the information provided by Zhang Leshan, the area north of Xiushui
Troops of the 73rd Army of the Chinese Army are already stationed on Henglu. Along the south bank of Xiushui are several units of the 49th Army, 70th Army, and 78th Army of the Chinese Army. The 8th Army of the Chinese Army has even stationed in Wuning City for garrison.
The army mobilized so many troops to defend Nanchang, Tangcheng saw the guarantee of going south to Changsha via Xiushui. At least Xiushui was safe now.
Old Northeast and others did not know that Tangcheng was worried about the current situation, nor did they know that Tangcheng's rejection of the guerrillas' request for help was in order to move south across Xiushui as quickly as possible. Tangcheng was not very confident about the national army's defense line. In Wuhan,
The National Army has assembled more troops than now, but the Japanese army still occupied Wuhan. Tangcheng is now thinking of getting to Changsha as soon as possible. As for what happens after Changsha, how can it be decided now?
The cart stopped while thinking about Tangcheng. Lao Dongbei Lai, who jumped out of the cart, didn’t look very good. Several corpses appeared in the field on the roadside. Judging from the appearance of the corpses, they should all be ordinary people. Lao Dongbei Lai
I'm just surprised that all the people who died were young and strong.
