The fifth fifty-ninth chapter hurts him if you want to beat him (2)
Chapter 559: Hit him if you want to hurt him (2)
Forty-five-year-old Chief of Staff Luan Fangming's voice trembled slightly.
Pang Bingxun took out his pocket watch and took a look: "One o'clock in the morning... I have heard for a long time that An Yi's troops are good at fighting at night. Sure enough, it seems that the small-scale harassment in the previous twenty days was for this day. Order: Jiujiu Division rushes to Xinye
, the cavalry brigade must assemble immediately and be on standby!”
"yes!"
Luan Fangming immediately conveyed the order to his staff.
Pang Bingxun frowned and asked loudly: "What? Can't we just call and notify?"
"Commander, ten minutes ago, all telephone connections between our department and the front units were interrupted. The enemy... small groups of enemy forces have penetrated into our hinterland. The security companies along the way from Nanyang to Xinye and Dengzhou were attacked one after another. The enemy retreated with one blow.
, if my subordinate's estimate is correct, all the telephone lines of our department have been destroyed by a small group of enemy special agents. It is late at night, and we
The army is unable to pursue and it is difficult to determine the specific number of attackers. In addition, the enemy has continuously used despicable means such as assassinations, explosions and sabotage attacks in recent days. Each department has suffered heavy losses and is worried. Who dares to pursue it? At present, except for the Xinye 8th Division, which is equipped with a forward radio station,
The three mixed brigades in Dengzhou and Sangzhuang have no radio stations and cannot be contacted." Luan Fangming answered bravely.
Pang Bingxun took a breath of cold air and sat down slowly for a moment: "Time does not wait for us, we must act decisively, order the cavalry brigade to have enough food, and set off to rescue Dengzhou at six in the morning! In addition, contact the Eighth Division immediately and ask them to hurry up
Report the battle situation!"
"yes!"
Two fifteen in the morning, Sangzhuang.
A team of cavalry galloped past the burning houses and vegetation along the way, breaking through the thick smoke and rushing into Sangzhuang. The cavalry decelerated to a stop south of the small stone bridge in the north of the village. Gu Changfeng, the commander of the 44th Division Major General, dismounted and came to the burning village.
In front of the Tutu Temple, two brigade commanders trotted over and saluted together. Fang Buqing, colonel of the 131st Brigade, took half a step forward and loudly reported:
"Master, the 4th Mixed Brigade abandoned more than 500 corpses and fled northward in panic. Brother Xulun has led the soldiers of the 130th Brigade to advance westward to Dengzhou. His subordinates and Brother Boying stayed behind to wait for the master's decision.
"
Gu Changfeng looked at Fu Guanjie, the commander of the 132nd Brigade who graduated from the third phase of Huangpu's infantry college: "Boying, speed headquarters rushes to Womaling via Yaodian as planned. Remember, immediately occupy the highlands along the route after arriving.
Build a blocking position, and Xulun's 130th Brigade will defeat the enemy defenders at Zhaozhuang. They will rush to Qianmiao in the west at full speed and coordinate with your troops to defend it. We must block Nanyang's reinforcements from the enemy behind Dengzhou.
north!"
"Yes!" Fu Guanjie saluted and left.
"Dengyun——"
Gu Changfeng looked at Fang Buqing, commander of the 131st Brigade, whom Commander-in-Chief Chiang had forced on him.
"Your troops will go straight to the north of Dengzhou City along the Wa Ridge to assist the brothers of the Sixteenth Division and the New Ninth Division in the siege of the city. There is no need to attack. Always wait for orders to support the two brigades to the north of our division." Gu Changfeng issued the order.
"yes……"
Twenty-seven-year-old Fang Buqing, who graduated from the third phase of Huangpu's riding course, reluctantly turned around and left. He was a school officer from Dongyang, Zhejiang Province who was transferred from the attendant's room to the 44th Division. He originally served as a major's attendant and entered the 44th Division.
He was promoted two levels in a row and became a colonel and brigade commander. Although he tried his best to achieve something, his personality was incompatible with Chief Gu's style. All the brothers in the 131st Brigade under his command were recruits from Henan and Shaanxi.
, there are great difficulties in communication with different languages. He, who was born in a major, has no friendship with the two regiment leaders brought by Gu Changfeng from the independent division. This time, he was used by Gu Changfeng as a reserve team, which made him feel very sad.
It's not a taste, but the military orders are overwhelming, especially when meeting Gu Changfeng, a division commander with outstanding military exploits and a distinctive personality that even the emperor and I are not afraid of, Fang Buqing didn't dare to snort even if he had objections.
Gu Changfeng watched his brigade commander leave, and ordered the communications staff to report the battle report to the army commander An Yi. Then he got on his horse, surrounded by five hundred brothers from the secret service camp, and crossed the enemy corpses scattered on the bridge, illuminated by the blazing fire.
They hit the horse to cross the bridge. The iron hoofs hit the stone slabs with a crisp sound, and pools of blood in the low-lying areas splashed everywhere under the horses' hoofs.
Three o'clock in the morning, Xiangyang City frontline headquarters.
Major General Li Fuqiang, chief of the operations department, walked to the map with a stack of telegrams: "Commander, the 44th Division defeated the enemy defenders at Sangzhuang. The entire division turned westward half an hour in advance and rushed to the Dengzhou battlefield; Ji Nan reported that the main attacker
The Sixteenth Division and the New Ninth Division are making good progress and will surely invade Dengzhou within half an hour. Lao Ding's First Division is ready to clear out the fleeing enemies."
An Yi nodded, looked at Sangzhuang where Zhao Rui had placed a small blue flag on the map, smiled slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Old Li, which direction do you think Pang Bingxun will move the main reinforcements?"
"Dengzhou, compared to Xinye, Dengzhou is more important." Li Fuqiang replied.
An Yi nodded again and turned to Intelligence Director Liu Qing: "Immediately call Commander He of the Third Army and request General Xu Yuanquan, commander of the left wing of the Third Army, to coordinate the attack on Xinye!"
"Understood!" Liu Qing turned and left.
Zhao Rui asked: "Commander, is General Xu Yuanquan willing?"
"He was unwilling to attack Nanyang, but he was absolutely active in attacking Xinye. In the past half month, he was attacked several times by Pang Bingxun from the direction of Xinye. Not only did he lose troops, but he also contained his troops heading north. Xinye has long been a thorn in his side."
An Yi answered confidently.
Li Fuqiang thought for a while and said: "Our three divisions are enough to take over Xinye. It will be a tough fight at most, and we don't need the coordination of Xu Yuanquan's troops."
"Old Li, didn't Commander-in-Chief Chiang repeatedly emphasize close coordination? Let's give him the new territory, and at the same time transfer the pressure to him, and concentrate our forces on the Dengzhou line in the west to eat up Pang Bingxun's three brigades. As long as Pang Bingxun's three brigades are annihilated,
The brigade is approaching Nanyang, and the veteran general's little wealth is gone. The Northwest Army has no choice but to urgently mobilize the main force to rush for reinforcements, and our goal is achieved."
After speaking, An Yi turned to the map again and discussed with Zhao Rui in a low voice.
