Chapter 135 Bloody Battle of Changjin Lake (36)
Liu Fei's 20th Army was building fortifications. What they didn't know was that the Americans were ready to start fortifications on them. Not only did Liu Fei not expect this, but no one could imagine the entire Ninth Corps.
Harris's boldness was something Rosen could not even imagine. I really don't know if Harris was stupid? Or was he extremely brave? But now this battle is about to break out.
It is good for Liu Fei's 20th Army to build fortifications, but Liu Fei himself has arrived at the headquarters of the Ninth Corps of the South Bank and is having a meeting. After all, they also want to discuss how to eliminate the Americans on the other side.
Song Shilun sat in the chief, and the three commanders below stood up. Liu Fei, commander of the 20th Army, Nie Fengzhi, commander of the 27th Army, and commander of the 33rd Army, Zhang Kexia.
Song Shilun: "We have received news that to the east are the First Marine Division under the 10th Army of the US Eighth Army. The First Marine Division has five Marine Division and five unconventional battalions, with a total force of more than 9,000 people. It is a difficult bone to crack!"
Zhang Kexia said: "Commander, there are less than 10,000 Americans. Our Ninth Corps has a total of more than 60,000 people. What are we afraid of him? I think our three armies are surrounding them. It's almost the Chinese New Year, so we can also have a meal of dumplings!"
Nie Fengzhi said: "Commander, I think we still have an advantage over them, but if we continue to drag on it like this, I am afraid our advantage will disappear!"
Song Shilun smiled and said, "What are the advantages we have against them besides the number of people? Alas, our current troops can't even wear clothes warm. How can you explain it to us like your brothers!"
Zhang Kexia said: "This is not the commander's fault. Our country is in a time of disagreement. It will be fine after we have passed this period. After all, we have been fighting for so many years..."
Liu Fei said: "I think the most important thing for us now is to consolidate our defense. We are the last line of defense. If we lose our side, the entire strategic pattern may change."
Song Shilun said: "However, we are the last barrier and the first barrier before entering our country! If something happens to an accident, it will disrupt the entire group's combat plan."
Liu Fei said: "Now on the north bank, our 20th Army is the one on the north bank. The road between the north and the south is not smooth in winter. If the enemy blows up the bridge, we may be in contact."
Song Shilun said: "I am also worried about this problem now. If we become like this, the Americans will have a great threat to the Twentieth Army."
Nie Fengzhi said in confusion: "Americans really have such great courage? I can't see it all, right? Haha!"
Zhang Kexia said: "We have to think of any possibility, so under such circumstances, I insist that we should always pay attention to the trends of the US military and be ready to fight."
Song Shilun smiled and said, "The preparation for the fight is always required, but monitoring the Americans at any time is probably impossible. The weather outside is too cold now, so our soldiers cannot stay in the snow and ice to monitor the Americans, right? Since that's the case, we can only wait for the fish to take the bait. How are you all prepared?"
Liu Fei laughed and said, "We are building fortifications. As long as the Americans dare to come, we will make them unable to afford it and let them see the power of us Chinese."
Zhang Kexia said: "I know the combat effectiveness of Americans. To be honest, it is much greater than ours. It is normal for a regiment to compete with our division. Although we have added a lot of equipment, the gap is still very obvious when compared with the Americans."
Song Shilun said: "Although that's the case, think about the Liberation War that year, our equipment was still much behind the Kuomintang? But what achievements did we achieve in the end?"
Liu Fei said: "We eventually became the masters of this country. What's wrong with the Americans? All imperialism is a paper tiger. As long as we are not afraid of hardships or difficulties, we can eliminate even the biggest enemy."
Song Shilun said: "Several, the reputation and heavy responsibilities of our Ninth Corps will be handed over to you. I tell you that we are brothers who share honor and disgrace now. I don't want our Ninth Corps to ask for help from the 18th Army in the end."
Zhang Kexia said: "How much does this commander Wang Mingyu know about this person?"
Song Shilun smiled and said, "I have basically never been in contact with you, but this person is not a good person. Think about it, he was so active when fighting the Japanese devils back then, but he was not sure about it during the civil war, so he went directly to the United States. Later, our party won the battle, haha, this guy is back. What's the point of saying this kind of capricious villain? I, Song, would rather sacrifice myself than ask for the alms of such a person."
Zhang Kexia is a very famous general, with the title of General Sword. How did this General Sword come from? General Sword Zhang Kexia is Feng Yuxiang's brother-in-law and was once awarded the "Zhongzheng Sword" by Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek did not expect that when he rewarded him with the "Zhongzheng Sword", he had secretly joined the Communist Party of China five years ago.
In 1948, he led his troops to revolt on the Huaihai battlefield, disrupting the entire deployment of the Kuomintang army.
Zhang Kexia once owned a short sword with a total length of 80 mm and a blade length of 55 mm. The sword is engraved with the six words "If you fail, you will become a good person" and the sword hilt is engraved with the six words "given by Principal Jiang Zhongzheng".
This sword is called "Zhongzheng Sword". It was specially customized in Germany in the summer of 2019 in order to win people's hearts. Because Zhang Kexia was given this sword, it is known as the "Sword General".
Therefore, at that time, Wang Mingyu was also one of the targets that Zhang Kexia focused on and one of the targets that he wanted to actively strive for. However, Zhang Kexia tried to contact Wang Mingyu several times and ended up failing.
It’s not that Zhang Kexia can’t get in touch, but that Wang Mingyu and the others are basically on the verge of despair in wars, so it’s impossible to have any connection. Moreover, it takes time for Zhang Kexia to instigate Wang Mingyu to rebel.
If you cannot get in touch frequently and expose yourself at that time, it will be really not worth the loss. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Kexia also reported to Yan'an once in such a situation. Yan'an only replied to three words, and it has been successful!
Zhang Kexia really didn't know what methods Yan'an used, and finally learned that it was the contribution of Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Secretary Qian Liye, but very few people knew about this.
