"Haha, I didn't expect to catch a big fish. Let's see who dares to say that our old Zhao is a tiger who can't swim this time!" Zhao Erlingzi looked at Tan Yangong, who was wearing the military commander's uniform, with wide eyes. Light, laughed loudly and said.
Tan Yanzong looked at him like this, and his heart skipped a beat. Could this man be a lunatic?
"Tie them up and find something to gag them. Let's take a rest and go back at night. You can search to see if there are any good things that can be used. Bring as much as you can." Zhao Erlengzi waved his hand and asked his men to take the prisoners aside.
"Quickly, send a telegram to the brigade commander and tell him the good news." Liu Tao quickly ordered the telegraph operator.
"Yes, company commander." The dispatcher sorted out the radio and started to contact the brigade headquarters.
Soon Zhang Lingfu received this telegram: "I really didn't expect that this Erlangzi actually captured all the officers of the opponent's military department. This Tan Yangong didn't evacuate. It's really God's will."
"Yes, this is the highest-ranking general we have captured. Should we send a telegram to the division commander to announce the good news?" Deputy Brigadier Li Shengjun reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes, if you don't tell me, I will have forgotten about this. Hurry, send a report to the teacher. This is a good thing to make you look good. If the teacher finds out, he will die of joy." Zhang Lingfu slapped his forehead. , urged quickly.
Zhang Qifeng was naturally not happy to die, but he was also extremely happy. Unexpectedly, Zhao Erlengzi was really a lucky general. ,
"Haha, look, look, the second brigade caught a big fish first, you have to hurry up." Zhang Qifeng took a telegram and said to Sun Haibin, commander of the first brigade.
"What's so great about this? They just got lucky. Plus, they're so close to the enemy's headquarters. That's why the blind cat bumped into a dead rat." Sun Haibin said sourly.
"Just be tough. Go and send this telegram to the Commander-in-Chief, and then send another to Wei Hongjun to let that guy know that our direct brigade is the best division in the world." Zhang Qifeng said happily.
No wonder he is so happy, Tan Yanzong has been in the relationship since the two sides started. The highest ranking general captured alive. This was another huge blow to the morale of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
When Zhang Anle saw the telegram sent by Zhang Qifeng, he couldn't help but applaud.
He still has an impression of Zhao Erlengzi. It seems that he made the right decision to combine that brigade and the direct-affiliated brigade into a direct-affiliated division.
How can we make good use of this? To disintegrate the morale of the Northern Expeditionary Army more quickly, Zhang Anle began to plan this matter carefully.
"The directly affiliated division's 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 2nd Brigade have been renamed the Tiger Company and are allowed to make their own company flags. We hope that the Tiger Company will continue to work hard to set an example for the entire army." Liu Tao simply told Zhao Erlengzi the telegram sent by Zhang Anle.
"Tiger Company?" Zhao Erlengzi was a little confused. "Aren't we the Second Company? The Second Company is pretty good, why should we call it the Tiger Company?"
Last night, they brought several big fish they captured back to the station during the night. Early in the morning, a telegram was sent from the brigade headquarters, saying that it was a telegram from Commander Zhang himself.
"Oh, company commander. You really don't understand, or you are just pretending to be confused. In the past, our Commander Zhang was the Emperor. The Tiger Company was named by Commander Zhang himself, and that was the name given by the Emperor! Who knows? They are all jealous to death. Besides, now Commander Zhang has set our company as a role model for the entire army. We are superior to others, no one dares to look down on us," Liu Tao couldn't help but jump when he heard what Zhao Erlingzi said. He quickly explained.
"You are superior to others. Hehe, this is not bad." Well, after saying so much, Zhao Erlengzi listened to this.
Liu Tao is right, other troops are extremely envious and jealous. The first unit in the army to be named by Commander Zhang, such a great honor. Just give it to them. But others can't envy him. After all, there are only a few military-level officers. Even if you catch military-level cadres. So what, our Tiger Company is the first. Unless you can catch an officer bigger than the army commander. For example, Chiang Kai-shek himself.
Wei Hongjun is the most envious of the Tiger Company. He believes that his first division is a direct line unit that started with Zhang Anle, and since it is the first division, it should be the number one in Tianzi. But now this first honor was not for his own troops, which made him a little annoyed. But what can you do if you are angry? Who can let his subordinates fail?
Thinking about the telegram Zhang Qifeng sent him yesterday, Wei Hongjun seemed to see his triumphant and arrogant look, which made him sick just thinking about it. If he can't make a greater contribution than the Tiger Company, he will be a head shorter than him in the future. At the very least, he has to get a similar amount of credit. He can't be compared.
Zhang Qifeng made up his mind and decided to take the lead to break the deadlock.?
As mentioned before, some units of the First Army, the Second Army, and the Fourth Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army have been transferred back and forth to assist Guangdong. Of course, the current situation cannot call for return reinforcements. Most of Guangdong has been taken by the National Defense Forces. . They met the direct division and the First Division heading north. Because the Northern Expeditionary Army had a large number of troops and their base camp was in Guangzhou, they fought very bravely. Even though the direct division and the first division are not ordinary people, it is impossible to capture the opponent's two armies in a short period of time.
Now that the Tiger Company has taken over the headquarters of the Second Army, the First Division has only one option if it wants to show its face more and break through the enemy's defense line.
After making up his mind, Wei Hongjun ordered all his automatic rifles to be gathered into one group and let them take on this assault mission.
The group that received the mission all went back to rest and prepare for the assault mission in the evening.
On the position of the Second Army, several soldiers were sleeping against the trenches with guns in their arms. No one knows when the other side is going to fight. With the war going so far, even having a good night's sleep becomes a luxury.
"Buzzing" A buzzing sound came from the sky, waking up the nervous soldiers.
"What's the sound?" Lao Li asked, wearing his hat at an angle.
"It's a plane. I've seen it in Guangzhou before." The person next to him returned.
"Where did the plane come from?" Lao Li had heard of the plane but never seen it. The plane didn't fly high, so he could still see it and hear it clearly.
"Look, something is being thrown down from the plane!" The man next to him pointed at the plane and shouted.
He didn¡¯t need to say anything, everyone was staring at the plane.
The things thrown down from the plane scattered in mid-air, scattered everywhere.
It was only then that everyone saw clearly that what they were throwing down were leaflets.
"A message to all the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army,
??The former president established the country, and later the Yuan family ascended the throne and Zhang Xun was restored. Until the president's death last year, the country began to stop war. Unexpectedly, the Kuomintang established a new government for its own selfish interests. It was called to inherit the president's legacy, but it was actually seeking the selfish interests of one party. Today we are brazenly raising troops to march north, and all the wise people in the world should reject it. Tan Yantong, commander of the Second Army, has been captured by our army. We hope that the soldiers of the Northern Expedition will rein in their horses and turn back as soon as possible. Those who take the initiative to surrender must ignore past grudges. Hope to tell each other that it is true.
The General Headquarters of the National Defense Forces. "Someone with quick hands nearby had already picked up the flyer and read it out.
¡°You¡¯ve been reading it for a long time, what does it mean?!¡± Lao Li also picked up a flyer and saw words on it and a photo of a person next to it. That man was the commander of their second army. As for those words, hey, Lao Li didn't recognize any of them.
"It said that our commander was captured. How could the enemy be on the opposite side of us, and how could they run behind us and capture the commander. This is a stratagem of the National Defense Forces, and there is nothing good to see." The person who spoke, said: scoffed at what the leaflet said.
"It seems that the military headquarters has really been taken advantage of." Tan Daoyuan, commander of the 5th Division, sighed after reading the leaflets sent by the soldiers.
"How did this direct division pass through our defense line, and how did they know the location of our military headquarters? You said" Deputy Division Commander Cheng Guangyao raised his own question.
"I think now is not the time to discuss this. Now that the military seat has been captured, what should we do?" Chief of Staff Li Jiabai and Cheng Guangyao, who have never dealt with each other very well, interrupted before he finished speaking,
"The chief of staff is right. We haven't received any news from the military since noon yesterday. It seems that the content on the leaflet does not seem to be forged. Looking at the photo again, although it is not clear, it is definitely our military commander. We What should be done now is the most important thing." Tan Daoyuan supported Li Jiabai's view.
Such leaflets are not only available here, but even in Changsha, Wuchang, and Fuzhou, there are planes dropping leaflets.
After learning the news, Chiang Kai-shek was shocked and quickly sent a telegram to Dai Yue, the commander of the Sixth Division, ordering him to be the acting commander of the Second Army. I hope he will kill the enemy construction workers soon.
"Haha, the name Tiger Company is very domineering. What do you think of the defense map that Zhao Erlengzi brought last night?" Zhang Qifeng was convening a meeting of cadres above the first brigade and battalion level.
"The authenticity of this map cannot be doubted. I suggest that we organize our troops immediately to attack the enemy's weak points." Sun Haibin, commander of the first brigade, expressed his opinion.
"I also think what Brigadier Sun said makes sense. Tan Yanzong and others were arrested yesterday. According to Zhao Erlengzi, they acted very quickly and did not find any supporting troops. So I infer that they may We still don¡¯t know the news that the Second Army Headquarters has been trapped. We can just take this opportunity to break the enemy¡¯s defense line with one sentence.¡± Deputy Brigadier Zhou Mingqi was advised."You are right. In a war, you must take the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared. This time, the task of breaking through the enemy's army will be left to your first brigade. I will give you the opportunity. You must keep up the good work." Zhang Qifeng's team leader Sun Haibin ordered.
"Don't worry, sir, just wait and see." Sun Haibin said confidently.
"Haha, okay, I like your confident look. Okay, the meeting is over, I'm waiting for your good news here!" Seeing Sun Haibin say this, Zhang Qifeng patted the table and stood up. To be continued. .
