232. in the first place

As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Jia Congliang, a special agent in Nanjing, heard what Director Wang Bingnan and Deputy Fang Tuan were talking about, he already understood the Japanese tricks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe purpose of the letters they wrote must have been to mobilize the defenders to flee out, to give full play to the characteristics of their own well-armed weapons in the movement, and to promote their own strengths and go to our strengths. Jia Congliang secretly thanked Han Linfu for the fact that he could start to see the devil clearly. To say that although he followed him before and after the saddle in those years, he did not learn things now. This commanding troops to fight devils is really an art and ability, and it is really an eye-opener. Thinking of this, he no longer led people to sneak to the door to stare at the headquarters. The war is about to start in front of him, and the devil is too cunning, and without the addition of the surname Han, the chances of winning will be a few percent less, or no. He picked up another spear and went to fight.

Without Jia Congliang's involvement, the harmonious atmosphere in the headquarters secretly grew. At this time, Miao Ziping, the head of the 233rd Regiment, Yang Ganmiao, the head of the 234th Regiment, Lin Qingshan, the head of the 235th Regiment, Liu Guoqing, the head of the 236th Regiment, and other commanders all hurried over and walked into the headquarters with their respective guards and staff officers. Outside the house, the bullets fired from outside the North City were like a shower, and it was clear that a shower was coming. Although the headquarters was in the main hall of the Lao Ye Temple, the gunshots of the defenders shooting against the big wall were like a surging flood, drowning out the voices in the headquarters from time to time. The soldiers of each regiment shot the devils through the guns and the top of the wall, and the ruthlessness of shooting the devils can be imagined. Others threw grenades from the top of the wall, and occasionally a horse manure bag or two, provoking cheers on both sides of the wall.

The faces of the chiefs were pale, and their hearts were as heavy as the sky that was about to darken. Some nodded to Brigade Commander Ding, and some didn't even bother to nod, and sat down around the table. Brigade Commander Ding saw that the people were basically there, cleared his throat and said: "Commanders, before the devils are about to launch a big attack, I will gather you here to discuss with everyone how to eliminate the devils as much as possible. Now, the command has two opinions. One, it was to kill it and fight with Motegi. Second, it is to make good use of the excellent cover of the city wall to kill and injure devils to the greatest extent. As the supreme officer, I am optimistic about the second option. Next, I would like to ask Ji Zhanwen to share the first opinion with everyone......"

At this time, the gunfire outside seemed to have subsided a lot. Chief of Staff Zhang said loudly: "Guard, go out and ask, what is the situation with the devil?" After a while, the deputy of the Fang regiment hurriedly walked in, saluted and said: "Report, sir, the devils outside the wall seem to be about to collect troops...... Brigade Commander Ding said: "Okay, go to investigate again, there is an exact situation, come and ......report quickly" After speaking, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it, the time was more than five o'clock, and it was already dark outside. The proprietor of the National Congress sent a few oil lamps, and the headquarters house was illuminated by the oil lamps. He said with a heavy face: "Zhanwen, you can talk about it first......"

Deputy Brigade Commander Ji stood up in response, and said in a low tone: "Now the gunfire outside has decreased sharply, indicating that the devils have the possibility of stopping the war...... Commander Miao answered the stubble and said: "The little devils have this habit, and they will stop attacking when it gets dark...... Deputy Brigade Commander Ji nodded, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, my opinion is that after a day of fierce fighting, we have the cover of the city wall, which has caused great damage to the devils. I conservatively estimate that by this time, the number of little devils will have to be more than half, and if there is more, it will have to go to 20%. And our number of people is basically still the same as when we first entered the city, less than 5,000 people, and more than 4,000. In this way, although we are inferior to them in weapons and bullets, we are in an absolute superiority in numbers......"

"That's where we're on the battlefield here and now, but there's another big one that's at stake with us. Ladies and gentlemen, the battle we are waging against the 4th Brigade of the Devil Motegi Cavalry is not isolated, but is part of the national war of resistance that has been formed with the Great Wall as the backing. Other battlefields basically start from the Great Wall line, and fight to the death with devils. The severity of its tragedy is more than that of us. In Renan, Xifengkou of the Great Wall, the 29th Brigade of the 107th Army of the Northwest Army, and other units, brigade commander Zhao Dengyu led his troops to attack the 14th Mixed Brigade of the Devil at night. The devils suffered heavy losses, and often the devils in a barracks were blocked in the bed. In order to prevent being cut, the devil has to put an iron hoop around his neck when he sleeps at night......"

Everyone applauded, and even Brigade Commander Ding was amazed. All of them felt relieved of their hatred and were full of happiness. Deputy Brigade Commander Ji continued: "There is another important phenomenon, the devils of Chifeng have sent reinforcements to Motegi's troops, and they are coming in the starry night. Before the devil reinforcements arrive, we'd better get out of the city and get rid of the Motegi devils...... Let's get out of ......."

When Deputy Brigade Commander Ji talked about this, he turned his head to look at Brigade Commander Ding, and said calmly to everyone: "I'll talk about this first, and now I'll talk about the second opinion by Brigade Commander Ding......

Brigade Commander Ding said: "Commanders, according to my habit of Ding, fighting is not my strong point, because I am a horseman, and I like horses the most in my life. It was not my intention to go to Chifeng to resist the Japanese, the first thing I followed was the military order, and the second was to clear the old army commander's name. After fighting with the old devil Motegi and fighting until now, I am content with this army. But we have to thank some people, like Xuanxia's father, Han Linfu and others, who joined to build the current army. However, I think that at this moment, the small city of Kim Shengtai can only rely on the city wall. Because, our personnel attrition is too great, from the grassland, to Chifeng City, and we have come here again, and our personnel have no supplies, and guns and ammunition have not been replenished. I admit that it was the foundation of the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops that was laid by Director Han, Section Chief Li, and the Cadet Corps that enabled us to fight a bloody battle with Motegi. As a result, we have also become famous, otherwise the owners of the National University and the people of Rehe would not have supported us so much. ”

Suddenly, some guards continued to lead people into the headquarters in a hurry, and it turned out that the devils gradually stopped attacking, and the defenders in the wall could not grasp the movement of the Japanese army for a while. First, Zhang Qiaoya, deputy commander of the 234th Regiment, sent someone to report and ask for instructions, and then Zeng Kuailin, deputy chief of staff of the 233rd Regiment, sent by Xu Xiazhi, and others hurriedly came to ask for instructions. Chief of Staff Wang said to them: "The devil has stopped, just to give us a chance to rest." No matter what tricks they use, we are in the walls of the city to respond to all changes. However, when I went back, I informed all the departments that the devils were not good at field warfare, and they stopped fighting, and we also took shifts to rest. They're going to go to war early tomorrow......"

Another member of the reconnaissance group ran into the Lao Ye Temple, and it turned out that another letter came in the southeast corner of the town. Brigade Commander Ding hurriedly opened it and saw that it was still sent by Director Han. To the effect that the devils of Chifeng City have been mobilizing reinforcements, they are part of the Gaoqiao Artillery Brigade originally stationed in Fushun, and more than 3,000 devils have already set off via Longshan and Xiqiao, and are preparing to rush to Karaqin (Jinshan) and Wangye to aid Motegi. However, as soon as one of the division's wings set off from Longshan and Xiqiao, it was harassed by the 13th Regiment of the Eastern Hebei Guerrillas.

After reading this letter, all the commanders were very grateful to Director Han and other members of the Cadet Corps, and they also felt a lot of pressure from the devil reinforcements, and at the same time, it was still a little relieved that someone was dragging the devil reinforcements. Brigade Commander Ding's face improved, and he looked at Deputy Brigade Commander Ji and Chief of Staff Zhang, and his previous complexion was swept away. In view of the grim situation, Brigade Commander Ding did not continue to speak, but said: "At this time, Director Han often gives full play to everyone's opinions, which is called brainstorming. Today, let's not just listen to the two of us, you front-line commanders, let's talk about it first......"

Commander Miao took the lead and said first: "In my opinion, while the little devil is asleep, let's go out of the city immediately, with 2,000 men and horses, and kill the old devil Motegi." However, you have to take a way to play, I think you can kill the 17th Wing of the devils first, and then deal with the other devils......" In fact, this strategy is very right, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji and Brigade Commander Ding both smiled one after another. They were about to speak, and Zhang Fangyuan, the head of the independent regiment, said: "I think it is absolutely impossible to go out and kill devils." This little devil is very good at marksmanship, our key is that there are not enough bullets, and the steel mouth of the big knife is not good. Besides, Motegi can't sleep there with peace of mind, maybe he's still waiting for us to fall into the net......"

As soon as everyone heard it, they said the opposite, after a period of exchange of ears and discussions, Yang Ganmiao Regiment Commander also advocated killing, he said: "My 234th Regiment was the first to kill from the West Gate, and suddenly appeared in front of the devil's position, grandma, don't catch him off guard, I don't have the surname Yang ......" Lin Qingshan, the head of the regiment, did not express his position for a long time, he felt that it was possible to win the battle in a battle, but maybe he would be bitten by the devil. At that time, it is better to wait and relax in the city walls. Liu Guoqing, the head of the 236th regiment, couldn't hold his breath, slapped his thigh and said, "My grandma, why didn't I keep up?" If they want, there must be a way to know if Motegi is waiting for us to ......" At this time, Deputy Fang Tuan said: "Isn't it just to know if the little devil is asleep?" Go to the top of the city wall and let him go for a while, and see what the devil is doing, won't you know? ”

Lu Pinsan, the commander of the reconnaissance regiment, looked at the regimental deputy under his hand, and said to Brigade Commander Ding: "Brigade seat, Deputy Fang is a fast-talking person, what he said may be reasonable, but if it is inappropriate, please understand...... Brigade Commander Ding waved his hand and said: "What I want now is to speak freely, what's wrong?" ...... "Before the deputy of the Fang Regiment sent someone to do it, Wang Chuanhu, the commander of the special service company of the 233rd Regiment, sent a squad to silently touch the city wall and start a fire according to the devil's position......

The position of the 17th Wing of the Devils was suddenly hit by bullets fired from the defenders' walls, hitting several tents. The Kumamoto soldiers under Yamaoka Jie's command were not willing to be angry, and they hated the defenders for this kind of night attack. They scolded "Zhina" one after another, and grabbed their guns naked and fired back. They fired at each other, and other wings, such as the 13th wing to the east, also thought that the defenders were coming to rob the camp, and hurriedly got up to meet them.

The two sides fought this time, and all the positions of the Japanese army moved. Chief of Staff Shintaro Umei, who was sleeping in the tent at the brigade headquarters, was also awakened. At this time, he was scared into a cold sweat by a strange dream......
