The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 25 Brigadier and Platoon Commander 1
The 28th Brigade of the 14th Division of the [-]th Army was deployed on the front line of Dabaishui. Although it suffered heavy casualties in the battle in the border town west of Peiping, the [-]th Division is still the most elite first-class unit in the [-]th Army. Standard direct lineage of the Central Military Commission.

Not long ago, the previous division commander Li Mo'an was promoted to commander of the No. 14 Army. The division commander was taken over by Peng Jieru, who has two infantry brigades under his jurisdiction, the 28th and 30th.

At Dabaishui, the two infantry regiments of the 28th and 28th regiments of the [-]th Brigade of the [-]th Division were fully deployed on the front line, facing the long front on the left wing of Xinkou. The brigade headquarters of the [-]th Brigade and the command post of the [-]th Infantry Regiment of the main regiment were also in full swing. At the same time, it was set up in Dabaishui Village, assuming a decisive battle with the Japanese army.

South of Dabaishui Village, in the command post of the 28th Regiment of the [-]th Brigade, a tall and thin officer, about forty years old, with a gold-bottomed major general's collar badge on his collar, had a gloomy look on his face. With a snap, he photographed a battle briefing on the map. On the Eight Immortals table, there was an uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

This person is the brigade commander of the No. 20 Eighth Brigade, Chen Mu Nong, also known as Jie Wen. He is from Sangzhi, Hunan. He was born in the 26th year of Guangxu. He is 37 years old this year. He was born in the army in his early years. He was admitted to the first class of Huangpu. After graduation, he served as a veteran of Huangpu Military Academy. The teaching team started as a trainee platoon leader, and now the officer is at least a brigade commander. In the dimension that He Wei has not traveled through, the most famous thing about this brigade commander is that he served as the commander of the 93rd Army during the Guiliu Battle in [-]. During his tenure, he was shot for abandoning Quanzhou. There are different opinions on the inside story of this matter, but at this time, Chen Munong was still a majestic brigade commander.

The three officers beside Chen Murong are Liu Mingxia, the colonel commander of the 57th regiment, and two regiment affiliates of the 57th regiment. One wearing glasses is a lieutenant colonel of the regiment, and the other is dark and has a scar on his forehead. The major of the regiment was attached to Chen Zhen.

The leader of the 57th Regiment is Colonel Liu Mingxia, a native of HuBJ Mountain. His father is a member of the Tongmenghui. Like Chen Murong, he is also a first-generation student in Huangpu. He joined the Red Army in his early years and later broke away from the organization. His development has been relatively average so far. He is still only a colonel leader. (It has nothing to do with joining the Red Army. No. 14 Army Commander Li Mo'an also participated)

Similarly, like Chen MuNong, he was also a person with a lot of stories in the dimension that He Wei did not travel to. Unfortunately, compared with Chen MuNong, he was much more disgraceful. He served as the commander of the 90th Division No. [-] of the [-]th Army. After the defeat in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, he was captured by the Japanese army and surrendered to the enemy. He served as the counselor and military attaché of the Wang Puppet Major General, the deputy chief of the Tax Police Corps of the Wang Puppet Ministry of Finance, and the administrative inspector of the First District of Shanghai Special City.

Military rank and official rank come first in the army. Although they are both freshmen from Huangpu, one is a colonel and the other is a major general. Therefore, Liu Mingxia can only stand at attention obediently and suffer the scolding from his classmates. This is the first year of the official freshman year. The level is crushing to death, even if you are scolded, you have to bear it.

Not long after the entire brigade was deployed, Chen MuNong ordered a battalion of the 57th Regiment to cross Yanzhuang and advance toward Yongxing Village in the morning. However, not long after the battalion set off, Chen MuNong heard the sound of intensive gunfire and urgently ordered and The [-]nd Battalion established contact.

But what they got was the news that they were attacked by the Japanese army during the march. Two company commanders were killed in less than an hour, and the whole battalion suffered heavy casualties!

Before a head-on confrontation with the Japanese army, a battalion was inexplicably disabled. Anyone who replaced it would be angry. What's more, the [-]th Division had just experienced a bloody battle in Zhenbian Town not long ago. The entire division suffered heavy battle losses and shortages. Seriously, we didn’t add much before opening the mouth. Now even a combat soldier is extremely valuable. Good guy, this search advance has cost less than half the battalion. It’s a bad start again. Chen Munong’s heart is bleeding. !
Unable to contain his anger, Chen Mu-nong cursed in a thick Hunan accent: "Is this the battle your regiment is fighting? Haha! How is this battle fought? I order you to send a battalion to search forward and occupy Yongxing Village in front. , the result? Huh? Less than two hours after the fucking order was given, they told me that the battalion sent out was defeated. There was no progress, and the battalion sent out was also collapsed. They were a bunch of idiots! I wanted to Our division proactively attacked and got off to a good start, but you ended up like this, Liu Mingxia, you fought a good fight!"

After a loud scolding, Liu Mingxia was also a little angry and said: "Brigadier Commander, it is indeed our command that was not good, but I didn't expect the Japanese army to move so fast. According to the report of Battalion Commander Ding Guangyu of the second battalion, they were preparing for a march. Unprepared, the Japanese army attacked with cavalry, infantry, and tanks. The troops had no time to react, and the entire battalion collapsed in a flash..." Chen MuNong snorted.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect, who would give you a chance to think about it! Who would give you a chance to adapt! What is the more specific situation of the second battalion now? Is the battalion commander mute? After the report, there has been no one until now. He doesn’t even fart, he can’t even understand what he’s talking on the phone, I’m going to remove him from the post of battalion commander!”

Chen Munong asked, his response was quite timely. After the second battalion was raided, he immediately went to the headquarters of the 57th Regiment and personally urged the 57th Regiment's communications company to set up telephones and lay telephone lines at all costs, risking being shelled. It took a lot of effort to establish preliminary contact with the second battalion in Yanzhuang, but what they learned was only the general situation and casualties of the second battalion's raid, and nothing else was known.

There was only one phone call, and it was Chen Munong who took the initiative to call the second battalion. Then there was no movement from the second battalion. As a result, the main position was completely blind to the enemy situation and defense situation in front. This was why Chen Munong cursed the second battalion. The reason for the battalion commander.

Moreover, the direction of Yanzhuang had just been violently bombarded by the Japanese army. After the bombardment, there was another burst of gunfire. The second battalion heard the gunfire but did not report it. The brigade commander of the main position, Monk Zhang Er, was confused and became more and more confused. When I became more and more confused, I called the Second Battalion again, but the call was connected. After calling for a long time, no one spoke on the phone!It looked like it was haunted in broad daylight.

The regiment leader Liu Mingxia sighed: "The brigade commander may still be gathering his troops and has no time to contact us. How about I send a few messengers to ride over and have a look."

Chen MuNong yelled: "What else? Liu Mingxia, hang up the phone with the Second Battalion again. I want to ask you what's going on in person. If there is no movement, send me an orderly on horseback. You must find out what's going on in front of you. Damn it." If you can’t contact me anymore, I’ll kill the battalion commander’s head!”

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Major Scarface took the phone, his eyes lit up, and he said to Chen MuNong.

"Brigadier, this is the second battalion of Yanzhuang!"
