Liang Xiao said coldly.
As soon as he spoke.
Zhu Youlun and Hao Yonggang broke out in a cold sweat, obviously, the general's military order was for them.
"Yesterday, the [-]nd Division disobeyed orders on the battlefield. I ordered their entire division to attack the devils in the front. As a result, the [-]nd Division sent a regiment of troops to attack from the front. After a few minutes of attacking, they alternately covered and withdrew from the battlefield. As a result, the special forces I sent almost let the devils make dumplings, invaded the defense line, and disobeyed military orders."
After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the officers of the [-]nd Division: "Master Zhu.
Chief of Staff, what do you have to say?"
"General, it's all wronged. It really doesn't concern me. At that time, we miscalculated the enemy's situation and didn't retreat on purpose."
Chief of Staff Hao Yonggang hurriedly defended.
"General, I have something to say in my humble position. Even if our [-]rd, [-]nd and [-]nd divisions are all on top, they are no match for the devils. What's more, you only sent a special combat brigade of a few hundred people to assist us from the flanks. It's much more powerful than you imagined, and I'm sorry to say it bluntly, if I didn't evacuate so quickly yesterday, our [-]nd and [-]nd Division would have been finished."
Teacher Zhu Youlun said.
"Are you done?"
Liang Xiao looked at them with a sneer. As a soldier, facing a national crisis, he didn't want to repay the country's favor, retreated without authorization, and even had the face to speak nonsense here. He hated this kind of person the most.
Zhu Youlun and Hao Yong just stopped talking, and they lowered their heads.
"Come here, take the two of them out and enforce the military law."
Liang Xiao shouted outside.
Immediately, two soldiers came in from the door and dragged Zhu Youlun and Hao Yonggang out.
"General, general, please forgive me."
"We want to see the Chairman, you can't treat us like this, we are also heroes who beat devils..."
"hero"
Liang Xiao sneered disdainfully, he had seen many heroes, but he had never seen a hero who resisted orders and ran away on the battlefield.
After a while.
Two gunshots sounded outside.
bang bang.
These two gunshots pierced through, and the generals sitting in the conference room could barely sit still.
Liang Xiao had a panoramic view of their expressions, and sneered: "I hope you can learn from their fate, and don't follow in their footsteps."
"In the future, if there is an incident of disobedience and retreat on the battlefield, it will be dealt with according to the law of the revolutionary soldiers. This time, it will be a wake-up call for you. Anyone who dares to commit the crime again will be severely punished."
The generals who attended the meeting were worried one by one. A major general, a division commander, and a major general, the chief of staff, killed as soon as they said they would kill, without even moving their eyelids. King Liang's reputation is indeed well-deserved, and he is cruel and merciless, which shows that it is normal.
"What Zhu Hao did in the prison, Liang decided to set up a temporary officer training class. You should discuss it when you go back. Every combat unit of the military division brigade must send a chief officer or chief of staff to attend the class. The time for the class to start is Further notice."
Liang Xiao said.
The generals present at the meeting nodded their heads one after another, and no one dared to say no, after all, the end of Zhu Hao and his wife was vividly remembered, who would dare to have trouble with this... King Yan of Liang.
Liang Xiao glanced at the generals in satisfaction, and said: "You all know that I am strict in governing the army, especially in terms of military discipline, if anyone dares to steal something, he will be severely punished."
"Also, the current situation in the North China battlefield is not optimistic. The Japanese invaders are pressing every step of the way, intending to drive us from the plains to the mountainous areas with scarce resources, and let us fend for ourselves. Kou fights tough battles, if disobedience and disrespect happen next time, you can decide what to do."
That's all he said.
The officers who came to the meeting were not fools either.
One by one hurriedly stood up and patted their chests to assure.
Liang Xiao waved his hand, telling them to disperse and go back to get ready.
After the meeting.
He went to the war room and asked about the battle in Tuqiao Town.
The 97th Army sent two brigades to support Tuqiao Town from the side. With more than 1 troops, they fought against a brigade of Japanese invaders. Relying on their strength and terrain advantages, they wiped out hundreds of little devils. Withdrew, and the battle in Tuqiao Town has come to an end.
The terrain in North China is complex, and it is difficult to deploy large-scale mechanical troops.
Only cavalry can gallop in the mountains and plains of North China.
Coincidentally, Liang Xiao formed a cavalry regiment, which hadn't been on the battlefield yet, so this time he just took the cavalry regiment to the battlefield for a demonstration, and it was considered as training.
Chapter 535 Arrival of the New Tenth Army
two days later.
The new tenth army rushed to the designated combat area in southeast Shanxi, Maling Town.
Maling Town is a barrier to protect the natural danger of the Yellow River. If the Japanese army wants to attack Shaanxi, they must attack Maling first. After capturing Maling, they will cross the Yellow River and march towards Shaanxi.
Maling Town is also the entrance to the mountains in the southeast of Shanxi: it is attached to Taihang Mountain and guards the middle section of the Pingsui Railway. It is a place that the Japanese army most wants to take.
More than 2 soldiers of the newly formed Tenth Army, working day and night, finally arrived at Maling Town at the appointed time.
Liang Xiao ordered his staff to go to Maling Town to help the new tenth army settle down. Afterwards, Cao Xian, commander of the new tenth army, and Yang Youguo, chief of staff, rushed to the headquarters to report.
"Cao Xian, commander of the new Tenth Army, reports to the general."
"The new chief of staff of the Tenth Army, Yang Youguo, reports to the general."
Cao Xian and Yang Youguo, wearing blue camouflage general uniforms and leather boots, stood at attention and saluted.
Since Liang Xiao was promoted to the second-level general, all the commanders under his command uniformly wear the rank of lieutenant general. Of course, the rank of lieutenant general belongs to the rank of a job. Once the position of commander is gone, the rank will also disappear.
The chief of staff of the army uniformly wears the rank of major general, which is equivalent to that of a division commander.
"You are here."
Liang Xiao put down the matter at hand, smiled and asked them to sit down: chat.
"Thank you, General."
Cao Xian and Yang Youguo sat down: , maintain a respectful posture.
Liang Xiao waved his hand to ask the guards to pour tea for the two of them, and said, "This time you have been transferred from the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area to North China, from the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, to the Loess Plain, how do you feel?"
"General, our new Tenth Army has only fought a few battles since it was formed. My brothers heard that you wiped out [-] enemies in the Central Plains Battle, and made our country proud. I wish I could fight side by side with you. This time you call us When I came to fight in North China, I and my brethren were full of enthusiasm, and I couldn't wait to go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese invaders in this loess plain."
Cao Xian said energetically.
"General, our new tenth army has been replaced with German weapons and equipment. It has all kinds of artillery of various calibers. The military headquarters also has tank battalions and anti-aircraft gun battalions, which are enough to compete head-on with the fifth division of the Japanese army. On the Central Plains battlefield, the 26th Army Continuously defeated the enemy's 26th Division, [-]th Division, etc., and became famous all over the world. It broke the myth that the Japanese army could not be defeated one by one. We are not as good as the [-]th Army, but we have the determination and perseverance to die on the battlefield, as long as you give an order, the new Tenth Army will not have a weakling."
Chief of Staff Yang Youguo said.
Seeing his subordinates have such confidence, Liang Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
"I let the new tenth army station Ma.
It led the main force of the Fifth Division to you, if I guess correctly, the Japanese Fifth Division will launch an attack on you in the near future, and defeating them will depend on your commanding skills."
Liang Xiao traversed the north and south of the river, and fought many big and small battles. When he commanded the army to fight, it was like an art. It needed to be repeatedly pondered and carefully crafted to achieve artistic achievements.
Cao Xian said respectfully: "When I came from Maling, I specially observed the topography of Maling Town. Maling is located in a plain and a mountainous area, bordering the Yellow River in the north and Taihang Mountain in the west. Start positional warfare, wait for the Japanese army to retreat slightly, then lead them into the mountains, set up an ambush in advance, wait for the main force of the Japanese army to come in, send one to block the entrance of the mountain: and completely annihilate them.”
"Yes, the combination of defensive warfare and mountain ambush warfare can indeed achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy, but have you ever considered that the division commander of the Fifth Division, Seishiro Itagaki, is an out-and-out North China expert, and he has a good understanding of the North China terrain. Shanmao is quite familiar, will he be fooled by you?"
Liang Xiao asked.
Cao Xian thought about it. He had heard the name of Itagaki Seishiro. When the Japanese invaders first entered North China, Itagaki Seishiro fought with the strength of a division, and the 10,000+ troops of the Central Army and the Jinsui Army retreated in embarrassment. Invasion of China battlefield.
"I believe in the combat effectiveness of our newly formed Tenth Army. Even if the old devil Itagaki is not fooled, our newly formed Tenth Army is confident that we can defeat the Fifth Division from the frontal battlefield."
Cao Xiandao.
"It's good to have confidence."
Liang Xiao smiled, the morale of the troops was strong, which was exactly what he wanted to see.
"General, I heard that the Central Army in the North China battlefield seems to be a bit disobedient"
Cao Xian asked.
"This has nothing to do with your new Tenth Army."
Liang Xiao waved his hand and said: "The battlefield in North China will take at most one month, and we will all have to return to Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Therefore, in the next month, we will wipe out the Fifth Division and be ready to recover the Taiyuan area at all times."
"The humble officer obeys the general's orders."
Cao Xiandao.
Liang Xiao nodded slightly: "You have come all the way, you have worked hard, ordinarily I should keep you two for a meal, but now the situation is tense and the war is imminent, so I will not keep you, you two should return to the army as soon as possible, and keep an eye on the enemy's situation , as soon as there is news, I will send you a telegram."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Cao Xian and Yang Youguo stood up and saluted.
After the ceremony, the two turned and left.
Liang Xiao looked at their backs and sighed deeply. This time he is fighting in Jin, and he hopes that the new tenth army can make a great name.
At this time.
Chen Hua walked in and said, "General, just received a telegram from the Northern Bureau that the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army rushed towards Zizhou, Zhaozhuang, Maling and other places, intending to wipe out the national army troops on the southeast plain of Shanxi and open up the border between Shanxi and Shanxi. The road leading to Shaanxi."
"As soon as the New Tenth Army arrived in Maling, the devils were dispatched. This may be a good thing for them."
Liang Xiao smiled slightly.
"The new tenth army has just changed its German armor. In terms of weapons and equipment, it is much better than the fifth division. In a head-to-head confrontation, the fifth division may not be able to beat the new tenth army."
Chen Huadao.
"Who is strong and who is weak, we will know when we meet, so let's not worry about it."
Liang Xiao smiled slightly.
Say it.
"How about the interim officer training course?" he asked.
"The instructors have been selected, and the list of trainee officers from each division brigade has been sent to the headquarters, waiting for your review."
Chen Huadao.
"You can handle this matter according to your needs. In short, there is only one purpose. Let us uncles understand the responsibilities of a soldier. At the same time, we also want them to understand that when the country is in crisis, soldiers should be proud of dying on the battlefield instead of preserving their strength and being greedy for life. die."
Liang Xiao said.
"Yes, I will arrange everything."
Chen Hua nodded slightly.
Chapter 536 Xiangxue Pays Attention, Enemies in Beijing and Shanghai
Command.
late July.
Shanxi is ushering in the rainy season, and the rain in the north is average, and it basically stops after a day or two.
What is different from the south is that once it rains in the north, the road surface is almost gone, and there is mud everywhere. If you step on it, you may get stuck in the mud.
This bad weather, no matter...
Whether it was the Japanese army or the national army, they all stopped.
Generally speaking, after the battles of Taierzhuang and Xinkou in Jindi, there were no large-scale group battles, and there were frequent wars in various places, but they were all local wars.
As far as the Fifth Division's battle against Maling and Zhaozhuang was concerned, it was just a small-scale battle. For Liang Xiao, who often commanded group armies in battle, he was not even interested in watching battles of this level. .
Of course, although he is not interested in watching the battle, he is interested in watching the results.
If there are a few small victories in the southeast of Shanxi, he is also happy to see it.
The temporary officer training class held by the general headquarters has already started, and the chief officers of each division brigade have come to attend the class.
As the deputy commander of the World War II zone, Liang Xiao was rarely idle.
As soon as he was free, he began to deal with espionage and military affairs in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area.
Although he holds the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the first, second, and third theaters, his focus is still on the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area, after all, the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area is where he made his fortune.
