Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

The man in Chongqing was a little disappointed after receiving Chiang Dingwen's telegram.

"Tell him that Jiang Dingwen is one of my Five Tiger Generals and my reliance in Henan. Let him do it. I and the 400 million people will support him. This battle can only succeed, not fail!"

Jiang Dingwen was overwhelmed by what he heard and could only send his 9 elite troops to Gongyi with tears in his eyes, preparing to attack the th Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Gongyi at noon the next day.

"Commander-in-Chief Jiang, although there is only one independent mixed brigade stationed in Gongyi, the 1st Division, the 27th Division and the 3rd Tank Division are just outside Yanshi. If there is any disturbance, they will immediately support Gongyi, and our troops will be in danger!"

Hu Lian originally planned not to make any more suggestions and just perform his supervisory duties, but when he saw such military deployment, he couldn't help but give some advice.

Jiang Dingwen smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

"Junru, I have been in the Whampoa Military Academy for so many years. Even if I haven't learned other skills, I know how to deploy troops. It's just that the order has come down, and we are in urgent need of a victory!"

Hu Lian certainly knew that not everyone could be called one of the “Five Tiger Generals”.

In May 1930, during the Central Plains War, Jiang Dingwen's troops ran between the Longhai and Jinpu lines and the area in between. They were swift and erratic in their movements and were known as the "Flying General". They were highly praised by Guangzhou and became one of "Chiang Kai-shek's Five Tiger Generals".

As a commander at the army and division level, Chiang Ting-wen was better at mobile warfare than others of his time. He was proficient in the movement and organization of troops in front of the enemy and had rich experience in offensive operations, which could be considered quite outstanding.

Therefore, he naturally knew what he couldn't do strategically.

"Commander-in-Chief Jiang, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but even if we can recover Gongyi in a short period of time, if we cannot hold it, what is the meaning of such a victory?"

"We just need to capture Gongyi. As for how long we can hold on, that is not our concern!"

Hu Lian chuckled, as expected of a two-faced person. As long as he completed the task on the telegram, why bother about anything else?

After figuring this out, Hu Lian stopped worrying about it, put down all his burdens, and waited for the battle to begin.

At this time, Li Yunlong and Wang Meng in the Pingshun military fortress were listening to the broadcast of the radio station controlled by the Chongqing government, one frowned and the other touched his chin.

"Old Li, where do you think the guy from Chongqing got the confidence to win a battle?"

"Haha, so self-confident! They even said we have other missions and cannot be transferred. I think they are playing with the lives of their own soldiers! They are taking human lives lightly!"

"Alas, there is nothing we can do. If there is no order, then we will be charged with disobeying orders. Should we continue to let Lao Zhao do the work?"

"Well, now we can only continue to flatter the Central Army until they fail to achieve the promised victory. With all the pressure on them, can they still withstand it?"

Zhao Gang also thought so. Not only did he not stop seeking support from all over the country, but he even worked harder and actively contacted all overseas Chinese in various countries.

Those overseas Chinese were also very respectful and of course gave unconditional support, and they called the Chongqing government one after another.

Today, the Independent Column is no longer a small local armed force, but represents the most promising and smooth military force, so these overseas Chinese worked hard.

The guy from Chongqing was so anxious that he screamed and fumed with anger.

"Damn it, it's fine that ordinary people don't have the same idea of ​​one country, one government, but I didn't expect that these overseas Chinese, the so-called celebrities, are also the same, and seem to be standing on the side of the independent column.

They regarded their independent column as the main force of China, and the so-called Pingshun government as the real government!

They continue to put pressure on China and influence the country's decision, which is really excessive! "

Chen Bulei stood aside. Although he felt as clear as a mirror in his heart that the party disputes should be put aside and the independent column should be allowed to cross the river, he swallowed his words when he saw Chang Guangzhou's gloomy face. A wave of sadness filled his heart.

Since ancient times, military officers have not been afraid of death and civil officials have been willing to die for their remonstrances. Only such a nation has hope.

However, as a civil servant, he was too deeply involved in politics and had lost the courage to make his own protests, let alone take any stance.

"Sir, right now we can only hope that the First War Zone can recapture the lost city, so that we can carry the banner of the nation and the country!"

"Yes, I will personally command this battle."

The God of War at Huayuankou put on his armor and prepared to go down in person. He originally thought it was a dimensionality reduction attack, but he didn't expect something to happen next...

Chang Guangzhou came to the command center and, based on his personal understanding, made a plan to feint an attack on Gongyi and focus on Zheng County.

"I will attack Gongyi with the strength of one division, and Zhengxian with the strength of five armies and one division. This time we will be well-rested and have several times more troops than the enemy. The advantage is on my side! All colleagues must work hard!"

Although everyone present, except Chang Guangzhou himself, thought that this battle was too optimistic, no one dared to raise the issue. After all, if one questioned the supreme commander's confident battle plan, it would cause problems for one's career.

Everyone at the scene said: Great idea!

When the order was issued to the First War Zone, everyone present showed surprised expressions. Could this be the legendary strategizing and fighting with an egg against a rock?

In the First War Zone headquarters, although everyone knew that this battle plan was a joke and was playing with the lives of all the soldiers in the First War Zone, no one dared to raise any objections.

Anyway, it wasn't just those present here who lost their lives on the front line, but if they said too much, it was them who lost their official positions.

Let’s call it a date!

Forced to do something, the five armies and two divisions immediately marched secretly towards Gongyi and Zhengxian.

Although Jiang Dingwen did not dare to question the order from Chongqing, he saw that his strength might be greatly reduced as a result, so he tried every means to reduce the casualties of his troops.

"Junru, you originally said that my plan was too blindly confident and crazy, but what about now? What do you think?"

Hu Lian's face turned pale and he said nothing. He never expected that the man from Chongqing would personally take command and make an even crazier battle plan. He could be said to be a "genius" in command!

Since ancient times, "a general is not always able to obey the orders of the king when he is away from the court."

This means giving front-line commanders full power so that they can make active adjustments based on the situation on the battlefield and ensure that the orders they issue can keep up with the changes.

However, the one in Chongqing did the opposite and was truly a “micro-management expert!”
