Chapter 1497, supervising the battle(1/5)
Near Teng County. Weishan Lake Pier.
A group of senior national army generals were patiently waiting for Zhang Yong's arrival.
The headquarters did not issue an order for Zhang Yong to supervise the battle. But everyone who should know already knew.
Sun Zhen, commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army Group and commander of the 41st Army, did not dare to neglect and came to greet him personally with Wang Mingzhang, Li Jiayu and others.
When besieging the two divisions of the Japanese invaders, the main offensive force on the northern front was the 22nd Army.
The attack was not going well, and everyone was a little worried.
They haven't met this Commissioner yet, but they know he's not to be trifled with.
If it's just that he's not easy to mess with, then forget it. But this guy is very brave in fighting. He beats the Japanese so hard that they can't take care of themselves.
Looking at the clear telegram he sent, you can see how miserable the Japanese invaders were.
The Fourteenth Division was directly defeated and crippled.
There was actually no fighting on the Yanzhou front!
The expected fierce battle, tug-of-war, and war of attrition did not occur at all.
The original battle plan of the fifth theater was forced to be revised overnight.
It's not that the execution was poor. It was that the execution was so powerful that other national armies couldn't keep up.
"Coming!"
"Coming!"
Someone called out in a low voice.
Then everyone was in awe.
"Woooo..."
"Woooo..."
With the sound of the whistle, three small steamers appeared.
The three small steamers given by the system are very useful. Zhang Yong can go directly to Weishan Lake.
If you go by land, you have to ride a horse. It will be exhausting and it will take a long time.
But it will be much faster if you take Weishan Lake and the canal.
And not tired at all.
"Commissioner, it's Commander-in-Chief Sun and the others."
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Someone next to him introduced him.
Sun Zhen, Wang Mingzhang, Li Jiayu...
They are all somewhat famous.
Arrive at the pier.
Stop the boat.
Go ashore.
"Commissioner Zhang."
"Commander Sun."
Zhang Yong, Sun Zhen and others shook hands one by one.
When Wang Mingzhang arrived, he shook it very hard.
Fortunately, the opponent's wrist is very strong. This is good.
Wang Mingzhang:???
Not sure why.
When shaking hands with Li Jiayu, Zhang Yong also held it for a longer time.
"Mr. Commissioner..."
"I'll keep my story short."
"Commissioner, please speak."
"The commission asked me to come to the front line to supervise the battle."
"Please give me some instructions, Mr. Commissioner!"
Everyone hurriedly stood at attention.
Zhang Yong looked indifferent.
"But I won't dictate to you. You have to fight the battle yourself. It has been fought for more than five days, and the progress is still very slow. Now that the enemy situation has changed, we cannot continue to delay it. The battle must be resolved within three days."
"I have arranged for you to replenish the ammunition. All you have to do is let go and fight!"
"If you feel that you are overwhelmed and want to preserve your strength, that's no problem. Behind you, the 12th Army, 51st Army, 55th Army, and 68th Army have no combat missions for the time being and can replace you at any time."
Zhang Yong's words are concise and to the point.
There is no murderous language.
The main force of the 22nd Army is the Sichuan Army. It can be considered a miscellaneous force.
It is completely understandable that the miscellaneous troops do not trust Chiang Kai-shek and want to preserve their strength. They are all worried about being killed with a borrowed knife.
It was Chiang Kai-shek who ruined his reputation. It is all Chiang Kai-shek's own responsibility.
Therefore, if the 22nd Army does not want to fight, Zhang Yong can arrange for the 68th Army and the 51st Army to take over.
From the beginning of the war until now, Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army has not even seen the face of the Japanese. It has been impatient for a long time and just entered the battlefield.
Even the 12th Army and the 55th Army were all pulled up. Anyway, the Japanese invaders had given up on Yanzhou and decided to make a major detour from Fuyang.
silence.
Sun Zhen said nothing.
Indeed, deep down he still refused to risk his life.
They all knew very well about Chiang Kai-shek's urinary nature. When all the troops were wiped out, the designation was also cancelled.
Kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Perfect.
"Commander Sun, this is my written order. You can withdraw."
Zhang Yong took out a piece of letterhead.
This was something he had prepared a long time ago. Substitutions were made on the spot.
If Sun Zhen really wanted to preserve his strength, he would also let the opponent retreat decently.
Then replace it with fresh troops. The battle can end faster.
"See for yourself!"
Zhang Yong handed the written order to Sun Zhen.
The reason mentioned above for withdrawing from the battlefield is that the troops suffered heavy casualties.
Very reasonable reasons. Can't be picky.
There is Zhang Yong's signature and date on the back. All responsibility belongs to Zhang Yong.
"Commissioner..."
"I know people don't tell secret stories. You can withdraw first."
"I……"
Sun Zhen hesitated.
Li Jiayu and others also looked at each other in shock.
Zhang Yong's tone was very calm. There was indeed no malice. There were also written orders.
Unlike some people who only communicate verbally. When the time comes, they will not admit their faults if they are held accountable. Zhang Yong writes clearly in black and white.
With Zhang Yong's written order to withdraw from the battlefield, no one had anything to say.
But why...
Still feeling uncomfortable?
Is it because the Japanese invaders were not eliminated? Is it a shame?
"I'm willing to keep fighting!"
To be continued...
