106. Captain Sun stepped up to the eastern wall
Muto Nobuyoshi listened to Okamura Ninji's phone call, and was even more impressed by this subordinate who had tried his best to occupy Manchuria and concealed the world. With his own experience in military circles and some of the current situation in China, he has a special understanding of the Japanese invasion of China. Therefore, I appreciate the painstaking efforts of Okamura Ninji, Kenji Dohihara, and others to create incidents and accumulate Sino-Japanese hatred, and I am even more in favor of the iron-blooded strongmen in the Japanese army, who are bold enough to take China's rationale and law, and take brazen action.
So, he said with a cruel smile: "Okamura-kun, you have a great mind to invade China, and I agree with it." The Chinese 41st Army will not retreat from the fight to the death, and it is not impossible for you to bomb with heavy artillery and aircraft. Chifeng City was blown up, it can be rebuilt, and there are laborers in China. It's just that it will take some time for the economy to recover, but it's fine. It is possible to immigrate from Shenyang, Liaoyang and Andong. It is just an excuse to deal with the anti-war cries in the League of Nations and in Greater Japan. ”
Not only the North Gate and the North Hengjie Entrance were fought fiercely, but the defenders' positions everywhere were like dams about to burst, and there was always a danger of bursting the embankment. And the Japanese army outside, although they organized attacks everywhere, it was also obvious that the attack was weak, and it was a painful battle that had never been fought before.
Following the continuous scuffle between the North Gate and the North Heng Street, the East Heng Street is also in frequent emergencies, the East City Wall is seriously wounded and disabled, and on the Red Miaozi Heights, the devil's sharpshooters continue to shoot the defenders on the city wall with the 38 big cover. The officers and men of the 18th Regiment lost more than two-thirds, causing the defensive surface of the 117th Brigade to be too long. The officers and soldiers on alert along the way saw that Commander Sun led people to rush to the eastern position of the city, and all the commanders spontaneously drew their men and horses from the headquarters and killed the defensive position in the eastern city.
Wang Yilun discovered through the secret line that Okamura Ninji frequently talked on the phone with Mae Motegi and Muto Nobuyoshi and generals from all over Manchuria, intending to prepare an excuse to bombard Chifeng Castle. The news in Chifeng City spread far and wide, and the county magistrate Sun Ting must have found that the Japanese attack was blocked, and he would definitely take extraordinary measures, and it seems that the bombardment of Chifeng City is inevitable. He spent the night tossing and turning, knocking his head with his hand, and kept asking himself: Is Chifeng City, which is so rich, destroyed like this?
He appealed to the central government in Nanjing for help, but Nanjing was implementing a policy of non-resistance, and no one could have a better way for him to be a small county magistrate. There was also someone in the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense who had a bad idea and asked him to ask for help from Yu Yulin...... For, he didn't have time to tease them haha, and went to ask Zhang Xueliang for help. Since the armies in North China belonged to different systems, the young marshal at this time blamed himself for losing the northeast even more because of the ineffective transfer of certain troops, and was proposing to Chiang Kai-shek to resign from his own posts. In the small Chifeng City, the young marshal has no time to take care of it.
I could have prepared early, brought my body soft, absconded with my family, and it was a hundred. But he can't throw this land, and he can't throw away Chifeng's father. As a parent official, this nearly 150-year-old ancient city is the ** Hada in his life, and he would rather die to repay this land. If he could exchange his life for the peace of the people of a city, he would rather die. He racked his brains, thought about it, and finally slammed his fist on the table and said, "That's all there is ......"
He hurriedly ordered someone to call Sheng Ruixi, director of the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, to him, and said: "Rui Xi, you immediately take a few virtuous fathers and elders to the east gate, talk to Commander Sun, let's plan for the people of Chifeng City, ask him to withdraw the army, so as not to bombard the Japanese army with artillery and turn Chifeng City into powder...... and instructed him, and did not hesitate to let a few old men who went with him wash their faces with tears and cry to persuade Commander Sun to withdraw the army......
Sheng Rui looked at County Magistrate Sun heavily, which meant that Commander Sun was also the lord of the Eight Horses, the colonel sent by Nanjing, holding 500,000 oceans in one hand and Shang Fang's sword in the other, it didn't work on it...... Looking at County Magistrate Sun again, he is no longer the county magistrate with blazing eyes and majestic faces, he has been planning for Chifeng City and the people for a few days, he can't eat well and sleep, and he has become quite haggard. At this time, when it comes to worrying, two tears are shed. The sunken eyes pinned all their hopes on Sheng Ruixi.
The county magistrate Sun Tingbi watched with an uneasy look as Sheng Rui and a group of businessmen who came here temporarily walked out of the gate of the county government (**Hada Yamen) located on Hada Street, and they all had to go around the fortifications and barricades and hurried to the east gate. He was counting on their trip to move this bandit-born Commander Sun.
Chifeng, a famous grassland city, began to set up ** Hada Hall in the 41st year of Qianlong (1776), with prosperous commerce and the town beginning to take shape. Folk proverbs: Silver Chaoyang, Jin Chifeng, endless Hada City. It can be seen that its prosperity and the scale of commercial logistics. There are 330 large and small businesses in Chifeng, temples, schools and chambers of commerce and other public places are scattered all over the place, and there are countless houses and courtyards with historical value...... There are about 20,000 inhabitants of the city, and their lives are more important than businesses, houses, etc., and they are defenseless people. As soon as the Japanese artillery fired, Chifeng City turned into rubble, not to mention, tens of thousands of fresh lives would inevitably be killed...... The more County Magistrate Sun thought about it, the more frightened he became.
He could no longer sit still, so he ordered his horses to be prepared, and he hurried out of the house, and flew on his horse, and galloped towards the east gate. When he arrived at the east gate, he saw Commander Sun standing on the gatehouse of the east gate city wall, holding on to the daughter wall, and frequently looking at the east battlement wall full of soldiers. Although he had a slumpy body, he was full of heroic energy, and the bullet belt, the holster, and the short sword at his waist were as bright as his bare head. He waved a short sword in his hand, looked at the devils in the trenches outside the city, and deployed murderously: "The 117th Brigade, the 233rd Regiment, the 234th Regiment, and the 235th Regiment are defending the east city wall to prevent the devils from entering the city, and the people are in the ...... position."
Most of the commanders of the three regiments were covered in blood and wrapped in bandages, and as the army commanders shouted, they shouted "to" and "have" in turn, and received orders. At this time, around his head, the whistling bullets were like shuttled bees, and more than a dozen guards couldn't use their bodies to wrap him. The commander of the third battalion of guards on the side of the city ladder wanted to squeeze up the stairs, but he couldn't squeeze up, so he shouted desperately: "Platoon Commander Wang, I ordered you to carry Commander Sun down for me......"
Commander Sun was more anxious than the battalion commander, and as soon as he flicked his sleeves, he threw out several guards. At this time, a scout came from afar, squeezed into the crowd, saluted Commander Sun and Brigade Commander Ding on the city wall, and said: "Report, report to Sir, on the west side of Lubin Mansion on Dongheng Street, two houses have been knocked down, and the devils have come in......"
As soon as Commander Sun turned his head, he saw a commander with bandages on his head and arms, and he didn't know him, so he asked, "Which regiment are you from?" He stood up and saluted and said: "Report to the commander, I am the ...... of the 18th Regiment in the Northeast" He stepped forward to tie a bandage on his left arm that was a little loose, pointed to the north with his hand and said with a smile: "I order, the remaining men and horses of the 18th Regiment will run forward, fight in the streets to the end, and drive out the devils who broke into me......" Deputy Zhang Tuan shouted "Yes", brandished a short gun, took his remaining men and horses, went down the city wall, and ran towards Dongheng Street.
He turned back to the commander of the guard battalion under the city and said, "The third battalion of guards, you also go to participate in street battles, run and move forward...... At this time, he heard a bullet "curling" towards his head and flew over his temple. His cheeks, blood, rushed down......
