Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 495 Sudden Change of Situation ([-])

In the early morning of June 6, at Bagua Pass, after another day of bloody battles, Zhang Yantian and Gu Mingchang inspected the troops and condolences to the wounded, and began to sit around and have dinner with several staff officers.

It's dinner, but it's also lunch.The total content of the two meals is just a compressed biscuit plus a little mountain spring.Since entering Bagua Pass, Zhang Yantian and Gu Mingchang have not closed their eyes, and they have not rested for five days.Both of them have sloppy beards, dark and thin.The military rations had been eaten up three days ago, and the only compressed biscuits left were air-dropped from the Dingzhou base.The ammunition was used up two days ago, and some of the ammunition used now are the unused bullets and grenades collected by the soldiers of the reconnaissance company directly under the [-]rd brigade of the [-]st Xueshi division led by Diao Yide. , part of which also comes from airdrops.

In today's battle, the originally small manpower was reduced by half.This made both Gu and Zhang worried, and even though they were hungry and heavy, they still couldn't eat.

For Zhang Yantian, the difficulty of this battle was beyond his imagination. Up until now, he was very clever. He was unwilling to suffer a loss, and he had long since lost his mind to make small calculations. The only thing he cares about now is It is whether he can get a title after his death, whether he can be left in the annals of history as an anti-Japanese hero.As for the surviving officers and soldiers of the Special Police Second Column, from the original longing for the First World War to the later cursing their fathers and mothers, and now only knowing how to execute orders mechanically, they have been consumed by the war and accumulated over the past few decades. vitality, turned into a real war animal.

The length and difficulty of this battle also deviated from Gu Mingchang's original idea.Undoubtedly, Gu Mingchang was an excellent candidate for staff, and he had considered all aspects of the battle before the battle.Therefore, his estimation before the war was that as long as they could persist in Bagua Pass for three days, then when the 29th Army and 57th Army eliminated the Japanese army in Chahar, then the end of the little devils headed by Xiangyue Kiyoshi would come. .By then, the Xuebing Army will undoubtedly have a wider space for development.However, five days had passed, but there was still no sign of reinforcements in the direction of Yanqing. He began to wonder if something went wrong.

Gu Mingchang is from Peiping. He has experienced the melee of warlords in Beiping since he was sensible. Therefore, among the young people in Xuebingjun, they hate the essence of warlords. He can't help worrying whether it is Qin Dechun or Zhang Zizhong. He was so selfish that he actually wanted to reap the benefits at the critical moment. This was waiting for the Xue Bingjun and the little devil to fight to the detriment of both sides.

After taking a few bites of hard-to-eat biscuits and drinking some water, the next mileage is to discuss the combat arrangements for tonight and tomorrow.Under the situation that the troops of both sides were exhausted, after discussion, Gu and Zhang integrated the two troops into a unified command, organized them into three main battalions and one reserve battalion, and took turns to fight every day. sustainability.

Zhang Yantian said in an extremely hoarse voice: "Xiao Gu, I'll come in the first half of the night today. Take the time to rest. If we can't stand it in front, you take your brothers and retreat first! If I guess well, tonight, the Japanese army will surely There will be big moves!"

During the daytime battle, the Japanese army showed a different momentum from the previous two days.As a front-line chief officer, Zhang Yantian keenly felt the changes, and what he said now seemed to be an account of the funeral.

Gu and Zhang have worked together for many days, from the initial inconsistency gradually developed to the present tacit understanding, some words can be understood without expressing them.Gu Mingchang straightened up, looked at Zhang Yantian through a pile of burning gunfire not far away, and said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, from the moment I put on the military uniform, the word retreat has never been in my life dictionary. Don't persuade me, this is not only my personal opinion, but also the aspirations of all the officers and soldiers here in the Third Brigade of the First Division, and I think it is also the aspirations of all the brothers in your department—as long as there is one of us, the little devil will Don’t try to cross the Great Wall from Bagua Pass.”

Everyone, whether it was Diao Yide and others who still maintained a strong fighting spirit, or the officers and soldiers of the special police second column who seemed a little dull, everyone stood up and expressed their attitude with their upright bodies.

Zhang Yantian looked at the faces of these brothers who had lived and died together for more than ten days or even years, and finally gave a solemn military salute and said, "That's good! I'll take a step first. When we get down, we will still fight devils together." !"

"Yes!" Everyone couldn't help standing at attention, returning the military salute and answering loudly at the same time.

Zhang Yantian was about to move forward, when suddenly, a soldier from Diao Yide's reconnaissance company who was in charge of monitoring the situation at the northern end of the pass ran over with a man, and shouted from afar: "Brigade Commander Zhang, Staff Officer Gu, the special police Yizong has brothers coming over." gone."

Gu and Zhang looked at each other with joy in their eyes.Then, the two stepped forward to meet them, and when they got closer, Zhang Yantian opened his arms and laughed loudly and said to the visitor: "It's a plan, it's great, I finally hoped for you to come." He and the visitor were familiar.

The person who came was a major about 30 years old. When he saw Zhang Yantian, he first gave a military salute and said, "Brigade Commander Zhang, it's great to see you at last."

Zhang Yantian held his hand, introduced Gu Mingchang to him, and said: "This is Gu Mingchang, the staff officer of the Xuebing Army, and this is Wang Mooushu, the major and adjutant of Yizong. We are all brothers. Let's get to know each other."

Gu Mingchang gave a military salute first and then shook hands. Holding each other's hand, he carefully looked at the clothes and expressions of the major and adjutant, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although the clothes on Wang Moushu's body were also damaged, his expression did not appear tense. From this inference, Yi Zong should not have experienced any bad battles.Since Yizong was able to get here, does it mean that the enemies of Yanqing have been dealt with or driven away?Then, the 29th Army and the 57th Army will continue to come over, haha!The end of Xiangyue Qingji's gang of devils has really arrived.He was about to ask the other party about the battle situation, but the latter let go of his hand, turned to Zhang Yantian and said: "Brigade Commander Zhang, our brigade commander asked me to bring you a few words, can you please avoid it for a while?"

Zhang Yantian was in a good mood at the moment, so he didn't doubt him, and said with a smile: "We are all good brothers here, so it's okay to speak up if you have anything to say!"

Wang Moushu frowned, and then suddenly asked Gu Mingchang a strange question: "Counselor Gu, are you here to learn from the highest officer of the army?"

Gu Mingchang nodded and said with a smile, "Ashamed!"

Wang Mooushu also laughed, and the next moment, he suddenly took out his pistol, aimed at Gu Mingchang and shot.

"Bang!" At the sound of the gunshot, Zhang Yantian yelled, "What are you doing?" Gu Mingchang only felt a pain in his left rib, and he immediately fell to the ground.

And almost at the same time as the gunshot, Diao Yide, who had been standing on the right side of Gu Mingchang, shook his right hand, and a dagger flew out, piercing Wang Mooushu's heart, which also made the latter's aim slightly deflected, and at the same time lost Chance for a second shot.

Diao Yide roared angrily: "I have long felt that you are not going to deal with it, sure enough!" He rushed forward and swung his fist to smash it down.

Zhang Yantian was so startled by this scene that his eyes were round and his mouth was wide open. At this time, he also roared angrily: "Wang Moushu, have you taken refuge with the Japanese?!" As soon as the words came out, he thought of a more serious problem, so he hurriedly called Diao Yi to stop. He got: "Wait!" Then he asked with a trembling voice: "Wang Moushu, tell me honestly, is it over?"

Wang Moushu covered his heart with his right hand, panting heavily, tried to speak a few times but ended up coughing violently.

Zhang Yantian glanced at Gu Mingchang, and said to his adjutant, "Bund him up."

The adjutant stepped forward, took out the first-aid kit from his body, and was about to use his hands and feet, Wang Mooushu said with difficulty: "Thank you, use it, no need!" Fumbling with his left hand, he took out an envelope from his shirt pocket, handed it to Zhang Yantian, and followed up with his head. He crooked, fell to the ground, and stopped breathing.

Diao Yide was standing beside him, and he grabbed the letter in a flash.

The adjutant frowned and asked, "What are you doing? This letter is for our traveler!"

Before Diao Yide could reply, Gu Mingchang, whose wound had already been bandaged by his subordinates, said, "Yide, give it to Brigadier Zhang."

Diao Yide glared at the adjutant, and quickly scanned the envelope, seeing that there were only five words on it, "Zhang Yantian's personal letter", he handed the letter to Zhang Yantian unwillingly.As soon as the latter received the letter, he only glanced at the envelope, his brows twitched, obviously he knew the handwriting.

The envelope was not sealed, and he took out the letter paper. There were only a few words on it, and Zhang Yantian almost read it at a glance.After reading the letter, his expression became weird. A few seconds later, as if he had made a major decision, he handed the letter to Gu Mingchang and said, "It was written to me by Commander Yu, please read it." .”

From his expression, Gu Mingchang concluded that this letter was unusual, so he didn't reject it right away. He took it and read it. After reading it, he took a heavy breath, and his face suddenly became quite ugly.

Zhang Yantian looked into the dark distance first, then turned his head to look at Gu Mingchang and said, "If this letter came a few days earlier, I might really be tempted, but now... brother, to tell you the truth, I Even life and death are taken lightly, do you still care about those external things?"

In the letter, Yu Xuezhong asked Zhang Yantian to immediately respond to Chiang Kai-shek's call to return to the ranks of the Nanjing government, and let him act cheaply to fight against rebellion.Afterwards, depending on the size of the contribution, the central government will definitely reward.

Gu Mingchang coughed twice, handed the letter back to him, and said softly and slowly: "This letter came in a timely manner, otherwise, I probably wouldn't understand why I didn't see the reinforcements until I died? Damn it, It's so fucking sad to think about it. We are here desperately trying to get rid of the Japanese invaders and restore the rivers and mountains, but some people take the opportunity to play tricks to get rid of dissidents. Rebellion, the anti-Japanese and national salvation army has become a rebellion, and those who see the devils only know People who run away and can't even defend the capital have become teachers of justice, damn it! This world is so fucking absurd!"
