Chapter 34: Bloody Mountains of Gold (2)
On September 16, the temporary command of the Third Corps of the Fifth War Zone was in Shangcheng County, southern Henan.
"Imitation of public servants, Peimin led the 18th Army to arrive on orders. I will come and listen to the imitation of public servants' instructions." Lt. General Huang stood straight in front of Commander-in-Chief Sun.
"Captain Huang, your troops will immediately advance to Fujin Mountain and complete the position handover with the 71st Army within 24 hours." The commander of the corps issued a combat order to Lieutenant General Huang with a serious expression.
"Yes." Huang Zhong answered briefly and powerfully.
"Captain Huang, after your troops succeed the 71st Army to defend Fujinshan, the 71st Army will join forces with the 30th Army to defend Shawo for two days. After the two troops join forces, they are still sure to defend Shawo. The key to the battle situation now is whether your troops can withstand the Japanese attack in Fujinshan. Fujinshan has always been the main attack of the Japanese army. The burden on you is not light. I hope General Huang can lead his troops to fight the enemy bravely, carry forward the general's bravery in Luodian, and then make great contributions!" Seeing his commander sending Lieutenant General Huang to the battlefield with just one sentence, he was afraid that the beloved general of the direct general, General Chen, was unhappy, and the Chief of Staff of the Corps hurriedly took the opportunity to introduce the situation and encouraged him a few more words.
"After vocational education, you should live and die with Fujinshan!" After Lieutenant General Huang said this, he saluted another military salute to each of the two commanders, and then walked out with great strode. After a while, the sound of the car starting from outside the door seemed to be that he had gone hurriedly.
"Changfu, you don't have to say those words just now. How can Huang Peimin not know what Fujinshan is now? If he doesn't want to come, he can find a reason to delay it for a few days. By then, when Fujinshan loses, he will lead his troops to guard the mall and maneuver more than to top Fujinshan. If he does this, can I, the miscellaneous commander, really do what he does? Huang Peimin led his army to nearly 300 miles in three days, just to fill the unfilled hole of Fujinshan. We are so lucky that another general of the Yin Kingdom came!" After Huang Peimin walked for a while, Commander-in-Chief Sun said to his chief of staff.
The Chief of Staff of the Corps was shocked to find that he shouted to the front line commander during the Taierzhuang Battle: "The troops are not allowed to retreat, until the end. After the soldiers are finished, you go forward and fill in. If you fill in, I will fill in. Whoever dares to retreat across the canal will be killed without mercy!" The commander, who said such decisive words, was a little moved in his tone.
Commander-in-Chief Sun was quite accurate. Lieutenant General Huang was indeed rushing to Fujin Mountain. As soon as he returned to the army, Lieutenant General Huang immediately urged his divisions and brigades to advance to Fujin Mountain in a hurry. The next morning, Lieutenant General Huang led the vanguard of the temporary 18th Army to the first echelon of the Central Plains to reach the foot of Fujin Mountain. If the commander of the 71st Army had not personally led people to block the troops of the temporary 18th Army, Lieutenant General Huang would have been able to take the defense immediately.
"Brother Peimin, you came so fast!" Although the commander of the 71st Army is also a graduate of the first phase of Huangpu and Lieutenant General Huang is not in the same system. (The commander of the 71st Army is Minister He's confidant general.) But there was no holiday between the two, and of course there was no chance for them to live. The friendship between these two military captains can only be considered an ordinary classmate relationship! He is still very grateful for Lieutenant General Huang who can quickly rush his troops to come north to pick up his defense. This is not only because his 71st Army can go down for two days to rest. The most important thing is that as long as Fujinshan is still in the hands of the Chinese army, the blood of the 20,000 to 30,000 brothers of the 71st Army will not be in vain!
"Yinguo, are you?" Lieutenant General Huang could hardly recognize this Huangpu classmate who was three years younger than himself. Looking at the other party's soldier uniform covered with mud and dust, his mouth and face full of beard, and his head was wrapped in bandages. Is this the young and energetic Song Yinguo who was twenty-four years old and became a brigade commander? Lieutenant General Huang knew that his young classmate and the 71st Army he commanded had fought very miserably on Fujin Mountain and had great military achievements. The Military Commission also awarded him and the commander of the 36th Division, the Huazhou Medal. But Lieutenant General Huang never expected that the war would end up in this respect, and the commander of the army would be awarded the prize.
"Brother Peimin, I won't say anything else. I'll take you to the position to see first! It's safer to get on now. The Japanese plane will come again in a while." General Song touched his half-month-old beard and said to Lieutenant General Huang with a smile.
After Lieutenant General Huang changed his soldiers' uniforms, the two military thrones took a few staff members in the same dress and the guards walked to the top of a side peak of Fujin Mountain.
From this peak, the Japanese follow-up troops on the opposite side were transferred from south to north. The artillery positions spitting out flames behind the small bushes in the distance, the transport vehicles traveling on the road, and even the Japanese wounded soldiers rescue station with tents were all visible in front of the two generals.
"Brother Peimin, you have seen all this. Brother has too few artillery soldiers. If there is a complete artillery regiment, I will definitely make the Japanese suffer a big loss. Brother Peimin has a lot of cannons in his hands. As long as you and I put together your hands, you can give the Japanese a good look. My opinion is that your troops will take action one day later, and our two armies will gather all the cannons for the Japanese to be ruthless. What do you think?" General Song said to Lieutenant General Huang, pointing to the unrestrained targets in broad daylight, exposed to the bombardment targets in broad daylight.
"Yinguo, in this way, your troops will suffer a lot of casualties!" While seeing the Japanese targets directed by General Song, Lieutenant General Huang also saw the situation on the main peak of Fujin Mountain. The situation made him deeply shocked.
Lieutenant General Huang first noticed that the officers and soldiers of the 71st Army on the main peak of Fujinshan were all stuck in the soil when walking. As a professional soldier, Lieutenant General Huang certainly knew that it was because the Fujinshan position had been bombed by Japanese artillery fire and planes, so the walking posture of the officers and soldiers was as similar to when walking in the snow. In other words, the Japanese artillery fire and bombs dropped by Japanese aircraft had plowed the main peak of Fujinshan. If you hold on to such a position for one more day, the price would be absolutely small.
"Brother Peimin, I'm not afraid of you making jokes. Anyway, my troops are also disabled, so I don't care about more casualties. But when I see the opportunity to fuck the Japanese, there are too few artillery in my hands, so I can only miss this opportunity. I feel really uncomfortable. If Brother Peimin has no other opinion, it will be like this. The troops that your army arrive first will settle down at the far corner of the mountain, and try not to find that our reinforcements have arrived. Tonight, we two armies will organize artillery into the position. To fire the artillery tomorrow morning and catch him off guard." General Song said casually.
"Your brother is still the same temper, and he is strong on the outside and inside. OK! Let's do as you say! But since my army has arrived here, I have not been watching the brothers of the 71st Army kill the Japanese. Although I am not very strong, I can't afford to lose this person! Let's do this, I will send a regiment to the main peak first, and at least help you, so as to take this opportunity to familiarize myself with the terrain of the main peak."
General Huang looked at General Song's pretending to be relaxed, and felt his heart twitching and feeling very sad, so he wanted to help the 71st Army.
"It's not necessary for a regiment, and there are not many people from the 36th Division guarding the main peak. Going up a regiment at once is not as easy as your brother's temporary 18th Army now, so it's better to go up to two reinforcements first. There are more people going up to reinforce. If the Japanese are alert, the effect of the shelling will be difficult to say tomorrow morning."
General Huang was surprised that his young classmate actually sent only two strengthening companies to the main peak on the grounds that a regiment had too many troops.
"Yinguo, tell me the truth, how many people are there in the 36th Division?" Huang Zhongzong knew very well about the flesh-and-blood connection and relationship between the 36th Division and his young classmate.
"Even if there are about 800 people in the minor wounded." When General Song answered this question, Lieutenant General Huang clearly saw the tears flashing in General Song's eyes!
Lieutenant General Huang looked at General Song speechless! Lieutenant General Huang no longer knew what language to use to express his admiration for this young classmate.
At 3:00 p.m. on the same day, the Zhang family ancestral temple in a small mountain village near Fujin Mountain.
"Everyone, the comparison of troops between the enemy and us and the basic situation on the battlefield has been introduced to you. Please give us a military steward to the training!" After Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu said this, the commanders of various divisions and brigades of the 18th Army under the stage were busy applauding their immediate superiors and superiors. The army still pays great attention to the division between superiors and inferiors.
"Everyone, this commander here asks you to designate three agents in order among your subordinates on the spot. You also ask everyone to write down the names of the agents and hand them over to the military headquarters to seal them together so that when the captains of the troops cannot perform their duties normally for some reason, each unit will not be without a leader. In case of precautions, please write down what the Chinese people want to say to their family members in their hearts!"
When General Huang said this, everyone was shocked. The following division and brigade commanders originally thought that Commander Huang was just a pre-war lecture. No one expected that Commander Huang would ask everyone to find a good agent and write his last words as soon as he came up.
Commander Huang said this and everyone would not understand that the tragic battle would be much greater than everyone's original imagination. Even if these people were mostly long-standing generals, they couldn't help feeling a little sad at this time.
"This morning, I went to Fujin Mountain with Commander Song of the 71st Army. I saw everything on the mountain and made me realize that the arduous and tragic battle will be something I have never experienced since I joined the army. When the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, our soldiers' lives and deaths were nothing more than nothing, and only the righteousness of the Chinese nation will last forever. I personally have chosen me as an agent, and I have sent my last words to my family. I hope everyone will fight this battle just like me, "I live and die, and I die and die and live." Lieutenant General Huang didn't speak loudly when he said these words, but everyone here felt these sentences as if they were like Hong Zhong Da Lu that made his heart tremble.
After saying these words, Lieutenant General Huang took a small box from his shirt pocket and handed it to a staff officer of the military headquarters. All the brigade commanders guessed that the small box must have a note containing the names of the three agents designated by Commander Huang. Since the commander of the first army set an example, these brigade commanders had nothing to say, and they took out pens and wrote down the names of the agents who took over the command of the troops on the paper that the military headquarters had prepared long ago without looking at them. For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue became solemn, and only the sound of the pen nib slashing on the paper echoed in the venue.
This meeting was very short. However, Lieutenant General Huang used his own way to make every division commander of the 18th Army's temporary 18th Army clearly realize what kind of battle they were going to fight.
"Haoran, please stay for a while." During the meeting, Lieutenant General Huang called Cheng Jiaji again.
"Haoran, your Independent 100 Division has the most artillery artillery with a long range. After you go back, you can transfer a few more artillery with a large caliber to the military headquarters and temporarily return it to the command of the military headquarters. You will return the system at noon tomorrow. Remember to make the artillery less dynamic and quiet when adjusting the artillery." In order for the artillery to achieve a hidden effect tomorrow morning, Lieutenant General Huang did not want to make this known. Besides, the artillery of other divisions and brigades are mostly small caliber and small caliber with a small caliber range. It is not very useful to transfer it, so Lieutenant General Huang only planned to transfer some artillery of the Independent 100 Division and the army's direct artillery troops to participate in the raid of the Japanese artillery fire tomorrow morning.
"Yes. The job must make the artillery movement more hidden." Cheng Jiaji guessed that General Huang had temporarily adjusted the purpose of these artillery. This must have caused a storm-like artillery fire to the Japanese.
"Haoran, you have three beautiful wives and concubines in your family, and you can't be more rude to them. This last words are hard to write!" Seeing that Cheng Jiaji understood his intentions a little faster, Lieutenant General Huang's mood also improved a lot.
Lt. General Huang always felt that the oldest teacher under his command was fine, but he didn't have a good time in his personal life and the housework at home was in a mess. However, this was Cheng Jiaji's family affairs after all, he was not easy to deal with as a chief. At this time, General Huang was in a good mood and actually joked with Cheng Jiaji.
"The military captain is making fun of it. It's time for him to die for his country. There is still another thought." Cheng Jiaji smiled a little awkwardly.
"Haoran, after I led the New Seventy-second Division up, you will be in charge of the military affairs for the time being." The impact of this understatement by Lt. Huang, the general Huang, on Cheng Jiaji, was a huge impact. Cheng Jiaji could certainly hear that Lt. Huang was making clear to himself that he was ranked first among the agents he had appointed!
When he walked out of the military headquarters, Cheng Jiaji took a deep breath. Perhaps it was an illusion that he actually felt a strong smell of blood in the breath of air he was inhaling.
