Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 735 Bloody Battle at Taierzhuang ([-])

Li Jintian was silent. After a few seconds, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Dengyu firmly and said: "Junzuo, I was wrong. Junzuo, don't worry, if there is one person in the 3rd brigade, Ximen will not be lost. Junzuo, I'm going!"

Zhao Dengyu stepped forward and patted him on the back: "Go! I will follow!"

Li Jintian paid a solemn military salute to everyone, and then walked out quickly.

After sending Li Jintian away, everyone persuaded Zhao Dengyu again: "Military seat, retreat the headquarters."

Zhao Dengyu shook his head.He raised his left hand to check the time, it was 11:30, half of the night had passed, the raiding force should board the train, right?

Twenty kilometers south of Hanjia Temple is the Longhai Railway Line.Since the light type is too heavy, the target is too big to cross the river nearby, so Guo Muyi wants to use the Longhai Railway to cross the Grand Canal at a farther point and enter the battlefield by detour.In this way, the troops are far away from the battlefield, it is easier to hide their whereabouts, and the speed of transfer is also increased, which can increase the suddenness of entering the battlefield.

"Woo——" the train whistled, and Guo Muyi stood on a tank and waved to the crowd, shouting loudly: "Brothers, go back!" People's faces were serious—everyone knew clearly that the raiding force's eastward advance was a gamble, and no matter whether they won or lost, their results would not be much better. To put it bluntly, this might be the last meeting for everyone.

To the east of the canal on the Xuzhou battlefield, apart from the troops in Taierzhuang, the national army only stationed the 42th Division of the 27nd Army of the Second Army in Pi County. The existence of the 27th Division in Pixian County was originally to delay the time for the Japanese army to attack Taierzhuang with all its strength, and to buy more time for Li Zongren to dispatch troops.Therefore, Li Zongren's first order to Huang Qiaosong, the commander of the division, was that once a large Japanese army approached, the 27th Division would withdraw immediately.Now that the raiding force is advancing eastward, the presence of the 27th Division in Pi County has a different meaning.Li Zongren urgently called Huang Qiaosong, telling the department to stand by and wait for help.But even so, compared to the Japanese army of the three divisions, the Canal East National Army is still at an extreme disadvantage in terms of strength, so the raid force's operation is called a raid. The future is indeed worrying.

"Woo! Woo!" The train screamed and ran, getting faster and faster, and gradually disappeared into the dark night.Guo Da and Huang Haifu looked at each other, and Guo Da said in a deep voice, "None of the officers and soldiers of our cadet army is a coward. No matter whether Chief of Staff Guo succeeds or not, their feats will be recorded in the history of the war."

It really takes a lot of courage to throw nearly ten thousand troops into the dense Japanese army array like moths flying to the flame.

Huang Haifu was much more optimistic than Guo Da: "I believe this battle will be successful. With the help of local guerrillas and anti-Japanese organizations, Lao Guo will be able to find the best entry point. He stayed behind in Xuzhou. Hmph, Anteng Liji was tired of working, and dared to attack three gates at the same time. How many people does he have? As long as the 5th Division is in chaos, our chance will come. Taierzhuang is bound to It will become the grave of the 5th Division."

In the time and space before Ouyang Yun traveled, some experts compared the differences between the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Xuzhou, and put forward such a concept: the southerners were weak while the northerners were strong, and folk forces played an active role in the Battle of Xuzhou, to a certain extent Dispersed the Japanese troops.This is the historical fact. For example, in the battles in the south of Xuzhou and north of Xuzhou, the national army firmly occupied the right place because of the help of local guerrillas and anti-Japanese organizations. important factor.

Guo Da was very clear about the activeness of non-government anti-Japanese organizations in the Xuzhou area. He said, "I hope so!"

An hour and a half later, the raiding force disembarked from the train southwest of Pi County.Then, Guo Muyi immediately commanded the troops to move due south under the leadership of several scouts.When Guo Da and Huang Haifu were still in Pingyi, they released all the scouts from the Xuebing Division and the Mountain Division. Now, within a hundred miles around Taierzhuang to the east of the canal, the scouting squad of the Xuebing Army weaves Cheng's big net closely monitored the every move of the four Japanese troops, the 5th Division, the Isoya Division, the Seya Detachment, and the Mixed Third Brigade.

These scouts belonged to the scout battalion of Xueyi Division, led by a platoon leader named Qiu Zhen.Qiu Zhen was invited by Guo Muyi to board the tank that the latter was riding in, and explained to him the location and situation of various Japanese troops in detail.

"The third mixed brigade has arrived at Sihu, and the devils from two brigades are escorting a squadron of chariot units that are moving towards Pi County. It is estimated that they will arrive at around four o'clock tomorrow morning; the fifth division is now divided into three Road, non-stop attacking the east gate, north gate and northwest gate; the Segu detachment is still fighting fiercely with the 5nd division; the main force of the Jigu division is stationed at a ferry in the west of Taierzhuang. Reported it; the 132th Division has not been found yet, and it should not appear on the Taierzhuang battlefield before tomorrow morning."

"I heard that Lei Ying from the Renqiu Chamber of Commerce brought people to Pi County. Has he contacted you?"

The Renqiu Chamber of Commerce sounds like a commercial organization, but it is not.The president of Renqiu Chamber of Commerce is Shang Lang, Shang Lian'er's father.The Renqiu Chamber of Commerce was originally a pure non-governmental organization established by the merchant wolf when he was bored and wanted to relive his former boss life.Under the Xuebing military government, the establishment of such an organization must be reported to the government department for approval.Renqiu Chamber of Commerce was the first to apply, and Shang Lang was an acquaintance of Ouyang Yun, so this matter was pushed to Ouyang Yun.Ouyang Yun knew Shang Lang's old background, and worried that the old man would form a gangster organization, so he had a detailed talk with him.He heard Shang Lang talk about the original intention of establishing this chamber of commerce, and suddenly thought of the civilian armed self-defense forces stranded in Renqiu.After the Xuebing army withdrew from North China, it left behind a civilian armed force of no less than 3 in the territory of Hebei and Chahar.These armed organizations are unified under the management of Fox Tong's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After refinement, they have been organized into three guerrilla corps and several guerrilla teams.Not long after the Xuebing army moved to Guangdong, Mu Jiandie wrote a report, hoping that Ouyang Yun would solve the problem of funds and weapons for the Jicha guerrillas.Jicha is too far away from Fujian and Guangdong. If a special transportation channel is opened up, the Xuebing Army really does not have the ability at present.Ouyang Yun couldn't figure out what to do, but at this moment, the merchant wolf wanted to set up the Renqiu Chamber of Commerce. Ouyang Yun rolled his eyes and set his mind on the Renqiu Chamber of Commerce.

Shang Lang was very reluctant at first, he was just doing it for fun, so he was not willing to carry such a heavy burden.However, Shang Lian'er was quite interested. Shang Lang was obedient to this daughter, so the matter was settled.

At the beginning, the Renqiu Chamber of Commerce only provided some light weapons and supplies for the guerrillas and anti-Japanese organizations to which Jicha Hutong belonged. With the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Ouyang Yun became bigger and stronger on this basis. Large anti-Japanese organizations have connections with guerrillas.And in order to make better use of these folk forces, he also asked Kang Dafu to serve as the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, and used the power of the Communist Party to extensively contact various forms of anti-Japanese forces, thus achieving today's achievements——

Lei Ying of the Renqiu Chamber of Commerce mentioned by Guo Muyi is the person in charge of the North Jiangsu film. As early as when the Xueyi Division and the Mountain Division entered the Xuzhou battlefield, he was active and had already gathered around [-] people. guerrilla army.

Guo Muyi was quite disapproving of the use of guerrillas, a form of civilian armed forces against the Japanese army. However, after the Japanese army's mixed third brigade was attacked in Nigou, his thinking changed, and he felt that if these "local snakes" were used "If you are armed, it will be beneficial to your own raids.

Asked by the chief of staff, Qiu Zhengong replied respectfully: "We got in touch. The Shandong Red Spear Association and the Huaihe Wanxian Association have set up ambushes on the two main roads between Pi County and Taierzhuang according to your wishes."

"How many mines did Lei Ying bring this time?"

"More than three hundred, plus the earth mines made by Wanxianhui, they used a total of more than seven hundred mines this time."

"Very well, you tell Boss Fu and President Du that the mission of the Red Spear Society and the Ten Thousand Immortals Society is only to slow down the marching speed of the Japanese army, and I don't expect them to stop them. So, don't fight the little devils. Alright , You will inform me when it is almost time to enter the river."

Xiashui River is located 27 kilometers southwest of Pi County, and Guo Muyi decided to divide his troops here.At that time, the Bawang Brigade will go to Pixian County and cooperate with the [-]th Division to block and form the third brigade, while the Xueyi Brigade will go directly to Taierzhuang with the tank troops and directly raid the enemy at the North Gate.

At around three o'clock in the morning, Guo Da arrived at the west gate of Taierzhuang with the second school brigade.

Seya's enlightenment is crazy-since the Seya detachment entered the battlefield, the attack has never stopped. The 132nd Division suffered heavy losses under the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese artillery. The battle that lasted for more than four hours caused Zhao Dengyu to lose about a brigade of troops.After the Seya detachment suffered two losses at the beginning, the infantry charges organized by them were very cautious, and the losses were very low. The officers and soldiers of the two brigades of the 132nd Division went into battle in turn, and everyone was red-eyed, including Zhao Dengyu, and all the officers and soldiers vowed not to retreat.However, Zhang Zizhong considered that once the counterattack started, the 132nd Division, which had been fighting fiercely for most of the night, would definitely be incapable, so he gave the order to change defenses.

The Xueyi Division was the main force of the Xuebing Army. The officers and soldiers fought many fierce and even bad battles, but the tragedy of the 132nd Division's defensive position on the Ximen Battlefield was still beyond their ability to bear.The Japanese army had just finished a round of offensive, and many places on the position were still burning with flames due to shelling.With these faint flames, the officers and soldiers of the 132st Xue Division saw a scene of hell on earth—the bodies of the fallen soldiers of the [-]nd Division can be seen everywhere, and many people have varying degrees of body pain because they were directly hit by shells. damage...

Zhao Dengyu's lips were dry and cracked, and his eye sockets were sunken. He silently returned Guo Da's military salute, and shouted to the surroundings: "Brothers, withdraw!"

"Army seat, we can still fight!" Several officers under him quit.One leg was broken, and a comatose commander who had just been lifted opened his eyes suddenly, and he roared: "Army seat, you can't withdraw! The bodies of the brothers are still on the battlefield."

Zhao Dengyu glanced at him, and said softly: "I was wrong, it was switching defenses and retreating from time to time. Xiao Jiang, then hurry up and carry Captain Huang away first."

Huang Zelao let out a roar, and his whole body became a little sluggish. He looked around with the faint light of the fire, saw Guo Da and the others, recognized their identities as soldiers, and struggled to sit up, he hissed. : "You son of a bitch, where are your guns, why don't you pull up your guns—"

"Boss Huang Ze! Shut up!" Zhao Dengyu roared.Then he said apologetically to Guo Da: "Mr. Guo, we have suffered a lot in the battle, and the brothers are holding back their anger. Don't mind."

Guo Da nodded: "I understand." He walked up to Huang Zelao and knelt down, protecting his shoulders and said, "Brother, you have worked hard. Don't worry and go to recover from your injuries. Ximen has been handed over to us as a teacher. We The cannon has already been taken by Commander Li, and he needs unified dispatch. Next, we also need to use our flesh and blood to resist the artillery fire of the little devil. If you can bear it, we can also bear it. Brother, you use your blood and life Even if we all die in battle, we won’t let it fall into the hands of little devils!” At this point, his voice suddenly became louder: “If the Japanese think that they can defeat us with cannons alone, then they But it was a big mistake - we Chinese cannot be defeated!"

"Well said! We Chinese can't be defeated! Well, brothers, retreat!" After Zhao Dengyu finished speaking, he walked in front of many officers of Xueyi Division. He shook hands with everyone one by one, and finally said: "Everyone take care, Ximen I'll leave it to you!"

"Mr. Zhao, don't worry, as long as there is still one person in the first division, Ximen will still be ours!" Everyone in the first division replied in unison.

Zhao Dengyu nodded.Then, he looked at the Ximen battlefield for a full tens of seconds, as if he wanted to remember the appearance of all the brothers who died in battle in his mind.Finally, he squeezed his eyes hard, turned and left resolutely.

The 132nd Division withdrew from the battlefield under the leadership of Zhao Dengyu. Seven regiments settled in Taierzhuang, and only more than [-] people left alive, and none of the seven regiments was more than half established.They defended the dignity of Chinese soldiers with their own flesh and blood. They let the Japanese know that no amount of fierce artillery fire can destroy the Chinese people's determination to resist aggression. They want to rely on force to make China bow its head - delusion!
The Second Xue Brigade completed the defense change with the frontline troops of the 132nd Division at the fastest speed.Guo Da and Yu Zequan were inspecting the west gate wall section to find possible defensive loopholes. Chang Fugui, the head of the 201st Regiment, led someone to escort a soldier to find them.Chang Fugui said angrily: "Master, this kid belongs to Division 132. We asked him to withdraw and he refused. I went to pull him, but he actually bit people! I think this kid belongs to the dog!" After finishing speaking, They pushed the soldier to Guo Da.

After entering the middle of the night, the attack frequency of the Seya detachment became less and less frequent, and now it usually takes half an hour to launch an attack.As a result, Simon was in the dark most of the time.

Guo Da shone the flashlight on the soldier's chest.The clothes on the soldier were already rotten, and the cotton wadding was coming out of the jacket, probably because it had been burned by fire, and the top was black.Guo Da asked softly, "Young man, what's your name?"

The soldier scratched his head, he felt a little dizzy, his ears were buzzing, but he didn't hear Guo Da's words clearly, he said: "Sir, I belong to the 132nd division, and I haven't received an order to retreat. "

Chang Fugui shouted: "Don't answer the wrong question, our teacher asked you what's your name?"

The soldier faintly heard the voice, he patted his head with his hands, and said in frustration: "My ears are buzzing, what are you talking about?"

Guo Da frowned and sighed softly: "It was shocked by the cannon." Then, he leaned close to the soldier's ear and said loudly, "I ask what your name is."

The soldier was so startled that he almost jumped up, and then quickly replied: "My name is Wu Yushu, sir."

Wu Yushu's fate was fatal. His comrades in that company died, but he survived.Because the platoon leader Zhao Deming is also dead, the number of kills that Zhao Deming bears has now become his task-he thinks so.Now that the Seya detachment has changed its combat method and stopped using large-scale infantry charges, his chances and probability of killing the enemy have been greatly reduced, making him unable to complete the tasks entrusted by his comrades for a long time, so he is determined not to withdraw.

"Wu Yushu. Xiao Wu, your army and ours have switched defenses now. You should retreat to Hexi. Go quickly, or you won't be able to keep up with the larger army."

"I won't retreat, sir, I have to kill at least thirteen enemies," Wu Yushu said, and when Zhao Deming was heard, tears welled up in his eyes.

"You have to withdraw, do you want to disobey the military order?!"

Of course Wu Yushu didn't want to disobey the military order, he was so anxious that tears fell, he choked up and begged: "Sir, I still have thirteen devils to kill, I really can't withdraw. I beg you, let me Stay!"

Guo Da was puzzled: "There are still thirteen devils left unkilled, what does that mean?"

Wu Yushu wiped away tears, and said with a choked voice, "I'm the only one left in our platoon. We agreed at the beginning that everyone in our platoon must kill at least one devil. Anyone who fails to complete this goal dies, and lives The people who want to help them complete—sir, I beg you, I still have to kill thirteen devils to fulfill my brothers' entrustment, I really can't withdraw!"

Including Chang Fugui, everyone was stunned.Guo Da felt sour in his heart, and tears rolled down his face.He patted Wu Yushu on the shoulder vigorously, and said: "Good boy, okay, stay here. Chang Fugui, Xiao Wu has joined your regiment for the time being. You protect him well, remember, this is an order!"

"Yes!" Chang Fugui replied vigorously, then hugged Wu Yushu and walked towards his camp, saying, "Stinky boy, why didn't you tell me earlier, I was bitten by you... "

Guo Da watched them leave, and said excitedly to Yu Zequan: "Old Yu, do you see that we have such soldiers, why worry about the Japanese invaders not being wiped out? There are only so many little devils, as long as each of us has such soldiers Determined, hmph, I think the little devil will be wiped out!"

Yu Zequan was also very emotional: "They are all good soldiers. Unfortunately, our country is too poor and backward. Otherwise, how could Little Japan be so rampant! Master, I suddenly have a premonition that Chief of Staff Guo's raid must be Can succeed!"
