Of course, there are some words that Hu Bihua has not said and cannot say. Among the divisions that are now entering to suppress the New Fourth Army troops in southern Anhui, except for those miscellaneous generals who are not trusted, I am afraid that the commander-in-chief will be regarded as the first choice to take the blame.
The 79th Division, which suffered a heavy loss at his hands, is probably still the first choice.
During the Battle of Niulanling, because of the Battle of Nanchang, the two division commanders before and after could be said to have died at the hands of the commander-in-chief of the group army. The 79th Division, which hated the commander-in-chief of the group army, was procrastinating in the action.
Da, although it is true that the people and horses were tired after coming from a long distance. But it is impossible to say that the reason for his slow movements has no other meaning at all.
If the Third Theater District assigns the 79th Division to other troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, there will naturally be no mistakes. As the Central Army with excellent obedience performance, although it was adapted from a miscellaneous unit, it has been thoroughly integrated into the Central Army
The militarized 79th Division will naturally not fail to work hard. However, the 79th Division was assigned to the command of an old enemy.
During the Nanchang Counterattack, the teacher who had been promoted to the commander of the army was killed in action. The then division commander only had some doubts about his commanding ability and was implicated by his subordinates, so he was arrested and executed by the commander-in-chief who took credit for his fault. The new division commander was nothing more than him.
Although he was promoted by the deputy commander of the 79th Division, after all, he only served for one year in total.
But the feelings of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the 79th Division are different for the senior teacher who died in the Battle of Nanchang. The senior teacher has served as a division commander for many years and is a kind man. He neither embezzles military pay nor takes blood from soldiers, and treats his subordinates well.
He was extremely generous and well-respected among the 79th Division. After the death of the commander of the 79th Division, who was the commander of the 26th Army at that time, the whole army of the 79th Division mourned him. Many officers and soldiers burst into tears.
The teacher was killed in the Battle of Nanchang. Many middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers believed that the death of the teacher who was already a military commander with six divisions under his command and who should not have been on the front line was forced by the commander-in-chief.
Dead. Therefore, among the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the 79th Division, there were quite a number of people who had developed a grudge against the commander-in-chief.
As for the death of the new division commander, others do not know the situation. However, the officers and soldiers of the 79th Division, who were participants in that heavy-lost battle, can be said to have a deep understanding. In addition to taking a scapegoat for his subordinates, most of the new division commander's wasted death
The reason was that he was dissatisfied with his tactical arrangements that even seemed a bit stupid at the time and made some comments.
Otherwise, the regiment commander who escaped from the battlefield was innocent and did not even move a hair when he was held responsible for the failure. But the division commander was inexplicably arrested for delaying the opportunity of fighting and fearing death, and was sent to Chongqing to be shot.
.Even several senior advisers in the war zone tried their best to save it.
I heard that after the failed Nanchang counterattack, the commander-in-chief of the group army asked his confidants to bring a large amount of gold bars, opium, and antiques to Chongqing to give gifts. In a defeat with heavy casualties, he, the direct commander, had nothing to do.
The plank held high by the Military Commission has never come down.
However, the 79th Division lost a beloved teacher and commander in battle, and not only killed a division commander unjustly, but also had to bear the crime of being greedy for life and fearing death, and escaping from the battle. The addition of old and new grudges, the entire 79th Division
It can be said that I hate this commander-in-chief to the core. In the battle of Niulanling, it is not surprising that he did not work hard.
Regarding this point, Hu Bihua understood that the commander-in-chief Shangguan, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, was definitely not a white man. Under the circumstances that the attack on the teacher was ineffective, based on the commander-in-chief's personality and character,
It is inevitable to find a scapegoat to explain to Chongqing.
He is not the kind of person who can take on the responsibility of his subordinates. In his heart, official position, glory and wealth are more important than anything else. For a general like him, without military power, there is nothing. This must have been the case for him.
Having been on the bench for many years, he knows better than anything else.
You must know that although the Third War Zone is located at the forefront of the confrontation with the Japanese army, it is quite close to Shanghai and Nanjing. Nanjing is fine, but where is Shanghai? Although it is under the strict control of the Japanese army, it is still China
The economic and financial center of Shanghai. The concession in Shanghai is still the first choice place for dignitaries to enjoy.
The confiscated goods from open and semi-open smuggling in the Third War Zone every year bring a lot of income to various senior generals on the front line. Not to mention that these generals use their authority to smuggle privately or even publicly.
brought extremely huge profits.
Now everyone knows that life on the front line is much easier than in Chongqing and the rear area. And all of this comes from military power and position. For these generals, if they lose their official positions, they have nothing. But in the new and old feuds,
With the grievances added together, the scapegoat must be the 79th Division.
I know this truth, and I am afraid that the division commander who is currently recuperating from an injury in Jingxian County also knows it. Otherwise, how could the timing of his fall from his horse and injury be such a coincidence? It just happened that the 79th Division received all its strength and headed eastward, entering
After the clearing of the Jingde Mountain Area? Because he also knew that because of the deep grudges, his subordinates would never resolutely implement the commander-in-chief's orders. They would probably just muddle along.
Previously, there was a delay in breaking through the front line of Niulanling. In addition, if the attack fails this time, I am afraid that two big hats will be slapped on, and no one will be able to bear it. If the force is too tight, it may cause a mutiny.
Once a mutiny occurs, the consequences will be no better than the first two items.
After weighing the pros and cons, this guy simply injured himself and went to a place to recuperate. He simply came with an out-of-sight and an out-of-mind attitude. As for the deputy division commander, as an old classmate of the division division commander, he had been wallowing in political work for many years.
What's more, he is an old fox. Since the 79th Division was transferred to southern Anhui to participate in the war, it has not come to the front line at all. In the name of urging supplies, it has hid in Jingde County and has not come back. He has abandoned himself as the chief of staff and is sitting here.
Fortunately, these two did not do too much, and issued an order before leaving. As the chief of staff, he was only responsible for coordinating operations according to the general order. During the operation, the three regiments directly belonged to the Fifty Army Corps that had already arrived.
The commander directly commanded. In fact, he put himself in the position of a senior herald, which also avoided the fate of being roasted on the fire.
In fact, there are some things that Hu Bihua, who has participated in the combat conference of the three war zones, cannot say. Because of the Nanchang Battle, two division commanders of the 79th Division were killed in one battle, and the other was unjustly killed, and they had a grudge against the commander-in-chief.
, not only both sides knew it well, but also the theater and the Chongqing Military Commission also knew it well.
Otherwise, after the Battle of Nanchang, they would not have been transferred out of the 29th Army, separated from the 32nd Army, and attached to the 25th Army. However, this time Wannan's campaign to suppress the New Fourth Army was out of dissatisfaction with the miscellaneous troops.
Trust, coupled with the limited number of direct troops of the Central Army in the theater, so the 25th Army was transferred back to the 32nd Army.
It is a pity that several officers in the division understand this truth, but this rookie who is known as the rising general of the civil engineering department obviously does not understand. Fortunately, everyone is from the Central Military System. Some words cannot be said clearly, but it is slightly
It is still necessary to give Hu Bihua some advice.
However, Wang Yongshu didn't take his advice very seriously. Instead, he insisted on mobilizing the defenders on the Caijiaqiao front line to pursue him, and shot a company commander of the patrol team and the two squad leaders who served as guard posts at the breached point as a sign of protest.
Warning. Looking at Wang Yongshu who persisted in his opinion, Hu Bihua could only shake his head. He had said everything he should say and what he shouldn't have said. As for what to do and whether he could listen to it, it was up to him.
He is the commander of the regiment and wants to shoot his subordinates. As the chief of staff of the division who is just the chief of staff of the division commander, it is really hard to stop him. But after this matter is done, he better protect him. After this matter is dealt with, in the future
When you get to the battlefield, don't let anyone shoot you.
Naturally, recruits would not dare to attack their superiors with black guns, nor would they be able to do it. As for those veterans, it is a different matter, and they don't care about that. When these people go to the battlefield, they can make you die inexplicably, and also make people feel uncomfortable.
There are many ways to find out.
However, Hu Bihua underestimated this regiment leader. After years of fighting in the officialdom, he was very shrewd, but he was not stupid either. Although they were tied to the battlefield, they never reserved their strength to avoid fighting.
Determined. But not stupid enough to throw an egg against a stone when there is a certain disparity in the balance of power.
The main two regiments of the 79th Division have entered the mountainous area northeast of Jingde. There is only one battalion and a small number of engineers and baggage troops on the Caijiaqiao front line. Although he already knew that the New Fourth Army that broke out was only a thousand men, he did not have the courage to attack them.
The division headquarters was abandoned at Caijiaqiao, and he led a battalion to pursue it.
Yea zaha hoo hoo ya ya hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo ” “Being serious” are two different things. Some people are allowed to see what they should see. They also see what they shouldn’t see. As for the rest, that is
Sirs, this is my business. There is a major general division commander and a major general division chief of staff. It is not my turn as the colonel commander to make the final decision.
Three gunshots were fired, and the heads of a company commander and two squad leaders fell to the ground. Wang Yongshu shouted for a while, put on a show for Fang Riying, the commander of the 40th Division who arrived later, and then hastily withdrew his troops back to Caijiaqiao. To pursue,
Let the Forty Division go with a cavalry company.
He shot those three people just to show his attitude to others, especially Fang Riying, the commander of the 40th Division. He was not that stupid, leading a battalion to fight with a thousand people. He only had what he had on hand
The troops of a regiment are the capital to climb up in the future. If they spend all their money, the old fox-like division commander will not be able to spare him at all. He will not be able to stay in this division any longer.
For Wang Yongshu, being a regiment leader is not his ultimate goal. He has no intention of stopping at the position of a regiment leader. How can he be willing to do without the general rank that a soldier dreams of? Promotion is a one-time move.
Well, it's one thing to destroy all the troops and be squeezed out.
So Captain Wang put on a show in front of the division chief of staff of another system and another division commander of the friendly army. He found a few insignificant scapegoats and killed them in order to block Shang Feng's mouth, and then he justly withdrew his troops and returned.
Battalion. Not only did he withdraw his troops back to the camp, but he also transferred all his regiments back to the Caijiaqiao front line in the name of protecting the division headquarters, strengthening the troops blocking the road, and preventing the follow-up troops of the New Fourth Army from continuing to break through.
