    Of course, there are some words that Hu Bihua has not said and cannot say.  Among the various divisions of the New Fourth Army that are currently marching to suppress 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 has suffered a painful 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 them all died at the hands of the commander-in-chief of the group army.  The 79th Division, which hated the commander of the group army, was procrastinating in its operations, although it was true that it was because of the lack of men and horses coming from afar.  But it is impossible to say that the reason for his slow movements has no other meaning at all.

    If the Third Theater Command 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 army, the 79th Division, which has been completely transformed into the Central Military Army, 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 army commander 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 actions.  The new division commander was nothing more than a new division commander. Although he was promoted from the deputy division commander of the 79th Division, after all, he had been in office for only one year in total.

    But for the teachers and elders who died in the Battle of Nanchang, the feelings of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the 79th Division were different.  The teacher has been a teacher for many years and is a kind-hearted person.  Not only did he not embezzle military pay, but he also did not eat soldiers' blood. He treated his subordinates extremely generously and was highly regarded among the 79th Division.  After the commander of the 79th Division, who was the commander of the 26th Army at that time, died in the battle, the entire army of the 79th Division paid tribute.  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 teacher, others don¡¯t know the situation.  But the officers and soldiers of the 79th Division, who were participants in that heavy-loss battle, knew it very well.  The new division commander's death was in vain. In addition to being a scapegoat for his subordinates, most of the reasons were because he was dissatisfied with his tactical arrangements that even seemed a bit stupid at the time and made some suggestions.

    ????????????????????? Otherwise, there will be that captain who escaped from the battlefield and did nothing, and did not even move a hair when he was held accountable for the failure.  However, the division commander was inexplicably arrested on the charges of delaying the war opportunity and fearing death, and was sent to Chongqing to be shot.  Even several senior advisers in the war zone tried every means to save it.

    I heard that after the failed Nanchang counterattack, the commander-in-chief of the group army once asked his confidants to bring a large amount of gold bars, cigarettes, and antiques to Chongqing to give gifts.  In a defeat with heavy casualties, he, the direct commander, had nothing to do, and the plan held high by the Military Commission never came down.

    But the Seventy-ninth Division lost a beloved teacher and commander in battle, and unjustly killed a division commander who was accused of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and for escaping from battle.  With all the old and new grudges added together, everyone in the 79th Division hated the commander-in-chief to the core.  In the battle at Niulanling, it is not surprising that the work was done but not effective.

    Regarding this, Hu Bihua understood that the Commander-in-Chief Shangguan, who had been in officialdom for a long time and was definitely not an idler, should be aware of this.  Under the circumstances that the campaign against Shi Lao was ineffective, it was inevitable to find a scapegoat to explain to Chongqing based on the commander-in-chief's personality and character.

    He is not the kind of person who can take care of his subordinates. In his heart, official position, glory and wealth are more important than anything else.  For a general like him, there is nothing left without military power.  He must have known this better than anything else after having been on the bench for many years.

    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 was under the strict control of the Japanese army, it is still the economic and financial center of China.  The concessions in Shanghai are still the first choice for dignitaries to enjoy themselves.

    The confiscated goods from open and semi-open smuggling in the Third War Zone each year bring a considerable amount of income to various senior generals on the front line.  Not to mention the extremely lucrative profits these generals made by using their authority to smuggle privately or even openly.

    Now everyone knows that life on the front line is much easier than in Chongqing and the rear.  And all of this comes from military power and position.  For these generals, if they lose their official positions, they have nothing.  And with all the old and new grudges coming together, the scapegoat must be the Seventy-ninth Division.

    "I know this truth well, I'm afraid that the one who is?The division commander who was recuperating in Jingxian County also knew it.  Otherwise, how could the timing of his fall from the horse and injury be such a coincidence?  Just after the 79th Division received all its strength to move eastward and enter the Jingde Mountains for a clearing campaign?  Because he also knew that because of the deep grudges, his subordinates would never resolutely implement the commander-in-chief's orders.  I guess I'll still be able to muddle along.

    ????????????????????????????????????????¡­  If you push too hard, it may cause a mutiny.  And 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 found a place to recuperate.  Simply came out of sight but out of mind.  As for the deputy division commander, as an old classmate of the division commander, he has been working in politics for many years and is even more of 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 never returned.  Leave yourself as the chief of staff and sit here.

    Fortunately, these two didn't do too much and gave an order before leaving.  As the chief of staff, he is only responsible for coordinating operations in accordance with centralized orders. During operations, the three regiments are directly under the direct command of the commander of the 50th Army who has arrived.  In fact, he puts himself in the position of a senior herald, which also avoids the fate of being roasted on the fire.

    In fact, there are some things that Hu Bihua, who has participated in the combat meeting of the three theaters, cannot say.  Because of the Nanchang Battle, two division commanders of the 79th Division were killed and unjustly killed and had a grudge against the Commander-in-Chief. Not only were both parties well aware of this, but even the theater and the Chongqing Military Commission were also well aware of it.  .

    "Otherwise, after the Battle of Nanchang, it would not have been transferred out of the 29th Army, separated from the 32nd Army, and affiliated with the 25th Army.  However, Wannan's invasion of southern Anhui to suppress the New Fourth Army was due to distrust of miscellaneous troops and the limited number of direct troops of the Central Army in the theater.  That's why the 25th Army was transferred back to the 32nd Army.

    "It's a pity that several officers in the division understand this truth, but this rookie who is known as a rising star in the civil engineering department obviously doesn't understand.  Fortunately, everyone is in the Central Military System, so some things cannot be explained clearly, but it is still necessary to give Hu Bihua a little guidance.

    It¡¯s just that Wang Yongshu didn¡¯t take his advice very seriously.  However, they insisted on mobilizing the defenders on the Caijiaqiao front line to pursue them, 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 warning.  Looking at Wang Yongshu who persisted in his opinion, Hu Bihua could only shake his head.  I have said everything I should have said, and I have also said what I should not have said.  As for what to do and whether he can listen to it, it's up to him.

    He is the commander of the regiment and wants to shoot his subordinates.  As the division chief of staff who is just the division commander's chief of staff, it's really hard to stop him.  But after this matter is done, he'd better take care of himself. After this matter is dealt with, don't let others take advantage of him on the battlefield in the future.

    Naturally, recruits would not dare and would not be able to attack their superiors.  As for those veterans, it's a different matter, and they don't care about that.  When these people arrive on the battlefield, they can cause you to die inexplicably, and there are many ways for you to not find out.

    But Hu Bihua underestimated the leader.  After years of fighting in officialdom, he is very shrewd, but he is not stupid either.  Although they are tied to the battlefield, they never reserve their strength to avoid fighting, and they fight resolutely.  But it¡¯s not stupid 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 in the northeast of Jingde. There is only one battalion and a small number of engineers and baggage troops on the Caijiaqiao line.  Although he already knew that the number of New Fourth Army soldiers who broke out was only a thousand men, he did not have the courage to abandon the division headquarters at Caijiaqiao, so he led a battalion to pursue it.

    It's two different things that are groaning.  What should be shown to some people was also shown to them.  What they shouldn't have seen was also seen by them.  As for the remaining matters, that is the matter of your officers.  There is a major general division commander and a major general division chief of staff, but it is not his turn as the colonel commander to make the final decision.

    Three gunshots were fired, and after 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.  If we want to pursue, let the Forty Division lead 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 is not that stupid, leading a battalion to fight a thousand people.  Having a regiment of troops on hand is the capital to climb up in the future.  If he loses everything, that old fox-like teacher will not be able to spare him at all.  I can¡¯t stay in this division anymore.?.

    For Wang Yongshu, being a regiment leader is not his ultimate goal, and he has no intention of stopping at the position of a regiment leader.  How can one be willing to accept the title of general that is a soldier's dream?  It's one thing to be promoted and leave, but it's another thing to be squeezed out of the army after it's been wiped out.

    Therefore, 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 trivial scapegoats to kill in order to block Feng's mouth, and then he openly withdrew his troops and returned.  camp.  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.
