Chapter 23: Cannon Fodder for the Past of the Republic of China
It wasn't a small black room, it wasn't confinement, so a dozen or so people were guarded in a barracks. Eating and drinking Lazar are all watching, awkward is awkward, but safe. There was no arraignment, no investigation, no questioning, as if they had never been here, and the entire headquarters, except for the guards, knew how many people ate and drank in the kitchen.
Cao Jinbiao no longer howled, his voice was hoarse, and he couldn't howl anymore. At this time, he has to take care of his voice first, so that others can hear him when he howls again.
He muttered in a hoarse voice, "I sent a telegram on the city wall!" I sent a telegram!" I still don't give up! Don't say that your division seat is gone, even if it is, the original troops are all disabled, and the broken paper is either burned or lost. You asked the commander to go all over and find you telegrams from two or three months ago?
At first, there were a few words of consolation along his lines, but later I found that it was useless, not only was it useless for the group leader to howl, but even the consolation was useless. Just do each of them to his own thing, and let the howling ones let the howls make a little louder in the empty room.
People are cheap, someone has to cooperate with the convulsions, obedience is not important, the important thing is not to sing a one-man show, someone has to take a team. No, no one cared about it inside and outside, and Cao Datuanzuo also stopped evading it and went to raise his voice. I haven't howled for two days, my voice has recovered, and everyone misses his howl a little, which is more comfortable than a dozen people who don't make a sound, and I really feel eerie quietly.
"All personnel of the former 254 Regiment were responsible for escorting friendly troops and aid supplies. Make no mistake and you're ready to go. Command of the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army. "One order, one car, all equipped. Look at how much material this order must have to be escorted by a group of people? In fact, there are only a dozen or so abandoned soldiers, escorting 5,000 oceans.
5,000 yuan! The commander is such a big hand, this is the face of the regimental squad leader? Who didn't wake up from a dream?
Li Jinshi felt that he could withdraw from the stall with 5,000 yuan. It is estimated that not to mention that Xiao Hancheng is anxious about this idea, and the squad leader of the regiment will also be anxious. As for the rest of the people who have money, I wish they had. But the squad leader of the regiment must have regarded this as a test for him by the commander, and since he couldn't tell whether they had really entered Jining City, for the sake of their tireless request for reconstruction, he gave such an order. In addition to setting off immediately, there are no time requirements, no location requirements, no return requirements, no even life or death requirements, and even betrayal, escape, including mixing with friendly forces, do not care.
Li Jinshi drove the car, there was no way, he could drive except for the group seat here. Xiao Hancheng looked at him enviously, "Big brother, you can still drive!" I can't reply to this, I smiled, I wasn't shy, it was ridiculous to make people feel that Li Jinshi was shy.
In these years, the villages have walled walls, and Xiao Hancheng and they can always call open the door of the village from time to time to get some hot food. Li Jinshi knew that this was the difference, and when they fled, they were always guarded like thieves. Xiao Hancheng did not have a city government, and told Li Jinshi that this is called a mass base, and some places are called traffic stations. didn't shout loudly, Li Jinshi also understood that this was trust generated by good feelings. Didn't ask any more.
"Captain Cao, thank you! If there's nothing to do, you'd better get back as soon as possible. Xuzhou fell. ”
"How is that possible? Didn't you chase after little Japan a few days ago?"
"On the southern front, the Japanese army opened the southern front. In the past few days, the north and the south have gradually converged, and then it may go west, and your defense area will be very difficult!"
Li Jinshi listened to the conversation between the regimental squad leader and the detachment leader, and what he couldn't understand all the time was that it was not Xuzhou that had been defeated again, but that 5,000 yuan of the ocean was handed over in this broken village. How do you put down 5,000 pieces of ocean?
Not to mention the defense areas of the Nationalist army, it is estimated that even the areas occupied by the Japanese have been riddled with holes by them. Since the other party has arrived at the station, the command has no specific requirements. Then disperse!
Li Jinshi turned the car, and then Xiao Hancheng shouted, "Brother Li is not going well, come to me!" Just digging a corner in front of the chief!
The regimental seat has really become the regimental seat, and Li Jinshi is still an adjutant. The headquarters selected all the remnants of their division and temporarily prepared a regiment. The subsequent order announced was to march west with the 20th Division, accept the command of the First Theater Operations Department, and wait for an opportunity to cross the Yellow River and join the main force in Xuchang.
In this way, Li Jinshi's independent regiment was destined to be cannon fodder from the day it became formed. At this time, the main force of the headquarters was also fully equipped, and it was pulled south, and moved to Xuchang according to the orders of the military headquarters. And they had to go with the 20th Division to be cannon fodder to block the Japanese westward advance.
I don't know whose belongings this 20th Division turned out to belong, and it was also abandoned. At least it's not just that their hundreds of grandmothers don't love their uncles and don't love fools. I feel a lot more relaxed.
Seeing Captain Cao one by one is like seeing his father, not to mention the intimacy. The original establishment was disrupted, they were all raised by their stepmothers, and they were all excluded and miserable. This time I found a home! As everyone knows, this is also a broken ship, and it will sink very quickly.
This is already the fifth day, Li Jinshi is sitting on the ammunition box, his back against the howling ditch, eating a mouthful of dry food and drinking a sip of water. It's really hard to swallow! You can still run away, and you can get out of the battlefield no matter what. But at this time, he had no idea of escaping in his heart, and the character of the second pole that had been suppressed for a long time relapsed.
From the third day, the group was already on the front line. Little Japan didn't know how many people came from there, didn't they say that they would attack from the southern front?
The defenses of Jinxiang and Caoxian were removed, and Li Jinshi's 20th Division was ordered to defend the Yellow River Ancient Road, which was 30 miles north of Shangqiu, to block the Japanese army on the northern front to encircle Lanfeng.
It's been five days, and I haven't stopped. Li Jinshi didn't know how many guns he had scrapped, he had hardly wasted bullets, not to mention the dense Japanese attack team, which was scattered, and with his eyesight, there would be no bullets that flew off. This is also the battlefield, no one pays attention to these, no matter how good the marksmanship is, it is not as important as their own life, and they all desperately want to kill a few more little Japan, so that they can have a chance of survival.
"Master, Lan Feng has been lost, Dangshan has also been lost, if we don't withdraw, we will be made dumplings! The brothers have not rested for five days and five nights! I can't bear it!" Cao Jinbiao has long lost the appearance of the head of the regiment, his face is black, his eyes are showing dripping, and he has yellow teeth. is complaining to the teacher with a crying voice.
"Cao Jinbiao! Listen to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is also on the front line, and he hasn't taken a step back. Lao Tzu didn't sleep either! The command headquarters must not withdraw from its position without an order to retreat...... Old Cao, let the brothers take the place to rest, and the old brother doesn't want to be planted here! You should always know about our boss Han, right? Carry it! If you can't stop it, you have to carry it!"
In fact, the intensity of this attack without the support of steel artillery and aircraft is not very large, at least from the current point of view, the battle damage is less than 20%. It's been five days of hard work, and it's hard work, and it's very exhausting. Li Jinshi felt that they were blocking the Japanese army to form a situation of encircling Lanfeng, and it was better to say that the Japanese army was holding them back and not allowing them to intervene in the main battlefield.
The team began to rest in turn, and the Japanese army seemed to have begun to attack in turn. When Li Jinshi picked up the trench again, he was full of energy and had no sense of exhaustion. Looking at the opposing attacking team, it seems that there are not as many as a few days ago, but there are still a lot less, only about thirty percent.
"Lan Feng is back again! Shang Qiu is still in his hand. I can finally rest!" "After resting, Regiment Commander Cao was obviously refreshed, his face was washed, and although he couldn't see his true colors, his military uniform was neatly pulled.
Three more days passed in this grinding attack. Except for eating dry food, which is a bit disgusting and can't be washed, everything else is no different from being in a barracks. The regimental seat can stay in the pit, and Li Jinshi, the adjutant, can also stay in the hole.
"Headquarters withdraws tonight. The division headquarters is estimated to be withdrawn tomorrow, so let us wait for the opportunity to withdraw, but not before the division headquarters! Why should we break off the regiment? Nima! Just let us be cannon fodder!" Cao Jinbiao looked at the telegram in his hand and scolded loudly. Does it work? The stepmother raised the stepmother.
"Shangqiu Empty City, let the Japanese occupy it without difficulty! Lanfeng also let the Japanese occupy it without difficulty! The descendants of Chairman Quan Temo Jiang escaped from the battle. Up and down. He should be sent to death by his stepmother!
"Let's think about where we cross. "Li Jinshi is running away, oh... It should always be able to grasp the main points when retreating. Since the whole line is retreating, at least we have to find a suitable place to escape. Du Nima withdrew, and the trapped Japanese army in Lanfeng soon joined up with the Japanese army advancing west in Shangqiu. It's really a fart at that time!
