Chapter 373: Li Juan's Choice
On the position, the 58th Division was attacked by Lu Hai's initiative, a full-scale offensive was launched, the two armies handed over the position of the fighting constantly, both sides of the gunfire were loud, on the short 100-meter position, a corpse piled up here, the same way, the two wings commanded by Chen Liang were also besieging the protruding part, the battle was extremely difficult, although the 58th Division's two feints of the battalion resisted desperately, but in the face of the double advantage of the force suddenly, the coordinated attack was also in a hurry, and had to choose to retreat, in this case, Chen Liang also followed the order, and the troops pursued and fought all the way, and it was best to find out Li Juan's headquarters, and taking their headquarters in one fell swoop would naturally make the 58th Division chaotic.

In the command headquarters, a communications soldier ran up and said: "Division commander, two battalions on both flanks of our army have been routed by the enemy, and the strength of the enemy's four battalions is rushing towards this side!" ”
"Rice bucket! Immediately transfer the headquarters, what this kid Lu Hai is best at is drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, and if this continues, we will soon have his capture team here! Li Jian said.
"Yes!"
"What about the frontal troops?" Wei Peicang said.
"Tell them that the enemy army is at the end of the road, this is the last offensive they can launch, and the departments must not only block them, but also find an opportunity to take the initiative to attack, and those who dare to take a step back will be killed!"
"Yes"!
After the order was issued, Li Juan's command headquarters immediately began to move rapidly, and the 58th Division, which had been hit by Lu Hai's sudden offensive in the same front, resisted stubbornly one after another, and in some places it had begun to stab because it was too close, and in some places it was also strafing with submachine guns, and people kept falling in the fierce battle, but the offensive in front was not too smooth.
"Order to go down, send a battalion of troops to lay mines in our rear in case of emergency, and tell Chen Liang to participate in the encirclement immediately after defeating them, and completely cut off their retreat!"
"Yes!"
"Deputy division commander, Li Juan's command has been transferred, and I can't find a specific location at the moment!"
"You continue to search, what I want to tell you is that we are going to participate in the siege, and we can't meet you, so you should pay more attention to the situation that comes!" Chen Liang said.
"Yes!"
Chen Liang picked up the phone and said: "Order, all units immediately stop the pursuit, make a detour to the center, cut off the enemy's retreat, and cooperate with the division commander to encircle and annihilate!" ”
"Yes!"
The troops of the four battalions immediately abandoned the encirclement and began to encircle in a roundabout way towards the front, and soon a huge circle was formed here, and the three regiments of the 58th Division were surrounded inside.
Half an hour later, in the headquarters of the 58th Division, which had just been set up in the headquarters, a signal soldier ran in and said: "Division commander, according to the call from the front, the troops of the three regiments we attacked have been surrounded!" ”
"If you don't tell them to retreat, we are likely to be surrounded and annihilated by them in this fight!" Wei Peicang said worriedly.
"Surround them? They can't digest it, you look at the map, now all the departments are besieging, Kunming has no extra troops attacking us, and Luhai's encirclement is not many, they want to encircle us and will inevitably suffer heavy losses from our impact, on the contrary, now we should gather forces to start breaking through to the middle, once we break deep enough to shake the entire Kunming defense line, and if the strength of our three regiments is concentrated to break through a little, Luhai is bound to be unstoppable, and the final result is that we go up Wuhua Mountain, His troops will only be scattered! Li Jian said.
Wei Peicang worried: "But it's too risky to do this, even if we break in, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and...
"We have no choice now, the communist army is about to enter the territory of Yunnan, we have not much time and must take risks, and I have confidence in my soldiers!" Li Jian said.
"We are all from Yunnan, so...
"So what? They are already rebels, and the surrender of the 60th Army in the northeast is simply a shame for the Dian army, and now it is Lu Han who has also betrayed, are they still our brothers? They are our enemies! It is the greatest shame since the establishment of the Dian Army! Li Jian said.
"You also know the current situation, even if we take Yunnan, how long can we hold on? Those who know the times are junjie, do we still have to work for them? Wei Peicang said.
"What do you say? If you say this, I can shoot you right now, but for the sake of my old comrades-in-arms for many years, I won't pursue it this time, but if you have this kind of surrender next time, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! Li Jian slammed the table and said.
"This is not a surrender statement, nor is it a fear of death, how many troops did we have at the beginning, almost all the large and medium-sized cities are in our hands, and we are superior to them in terms of the fighting quality of our soldiers and our weapons and equipment, but why did we still lose? We have been fighting the War of Resistance for eight years, and the southwest is still in our hands, but why have we lost like this in only three years, China is so big that we no longer have a foothold, Xichuan has already revolted, Yunnan has also revolted, where can we retreat in this way? Myanmar or Vietnam? Even if he dies, he is a lonely ghost wandering in a foreign land"! Wei Peicang said.
Li Jian suddenly pulled out his pistol and said, "If you say more, I will kill you immediately!" ”
Wei Peicang directly reached out and grabbed Li Juan's gun and pressed it on his heart and said: "Come on, fight here, even if I die here, I will die in my hometown, and if I rot in a broken ditch, I will be buried in my hometown, you want to know who you are fighting now?" Where are you attacking? Do you want to spend three days in Kunming? Then we will become sinners forever, and you and I will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and then people will say that our two executioners created the Kunming Massacre! ”
Li Jian was silent and the trigger in his hand was not pulled down after all, Wei Peicang said: "It's too late to turn back now, if we wait for the communist army to come, we will definitely be defeated, either we will be killed and there is no value at all, or we will surrender, or we will live in a foreign land, think about it yourself, how many roads can we choose?" Yes, the combat effectiveness of the 58th Division is strong, but we still haven't broken through the defense line of Lu Hai for a day, even if we break through and cut Lu Hai, what can we do, we can fight a division, and even we dare to attack an army, but in more, a corps, a group army, the whole country! What else can we do? We have already lost, in the obsession not only you and I lost, these soldiers will also be implicated by us, they have fought for eight years The Japanese have no regrets, but now you ask them, do they regret it? Think about the brethren, do you want to take them with you to the burial? ”
Li Jian was even more silent, he hadn't thought about these things, he also knew what the next outcome would be, but he couldn't let go, and he was not reconciled, the most important thing is that he had been blindly hard to the point of never surrendering, and never allowing his soldiers to surrender or even revolt, since this situation could no longer tolerate him, then there was only the death in battle, but what about the 10,000 soldiers under his command? Do you want to take them with you for burial?
At the beginning, he used machine guns to force them to charge, forcing them to wash away their shame, and finally they were no longer afraid, no longer retreating, but where else did he want to force them, a dead end?
The war continues, the fighting continues, on the stalemate battlefield, both sides are suffering heavy casualties, one person falls, the place that once haunted the soul and wants to come back is coming back like this, when they come back, all this has changed, the former brothers and sisters have become their opponents, many people have fallen, whether it is glory or shame, they have fallen in this place, it can be regarded as the soul returning home, but what about the one who went out? What about the living, no one knows where to go, and all this is just a doctrine that has been instilled with numbness, a commander who is unwilling to surrender!
The strength of the whole division surrounded and annihilated Li Juan's three regiments, but Li Juan's three regiments were frantically rushing towards the front with the intention of tearing the hole from the front, but Lu Hai's interception followed one another, and the blows on both sides and the pursuit behind also caused them heavy losses, and gradually appeared to be divided!
Lu Hai picked up the phone and immediately said: "Draw two battalions of troops to block layer by layer in the front, and the rest of the troops hurry up and encircle and annihilate!" ”
"Yes!"
The strength of the two battalions was transferred to Zhao Weiguo, and Zhao Weiguo only had a thousand people in his hands, but he still built a line of defense one after another on the entire defense line, resisting little by little, and blocking little by little. The same rear flanks were also frantically divided and encircled, and finally under the superiority of troops, a company that was surrounded put down the gun in its hand and announced its surrender, and some were fighting to the death until they were annihilated.
However, Zhao Weiguo's pressure is also huge, wave after wave of fierce attacks made too many people fall on the ground, there are ruins everywhere, there are burning houses everywhere, the explosives and mines under the feet are detonated one by one, screams and wails are mixed with the sound of cannons, but no one has stopped all this, and no one has laid down their weapons, even if they used to be brothers, even if they used to be the Dian army, and now they are mortal enemies, and one has severely damaged the other party's mortal enemy!
In the command headquarters, Li Jian looked at Wei Peicang with red eyes, and looked at Li Jian with red eyes for Wei Peicang, he knew that an order from the person in front of him could change the pattern, and they would not kill each other, they could revolt, even if it was surrender, but it was more cost-effective than such a worthless death, the war was no longer hopeless, and all the sacrifices were no longer worth it!
"What you said, I understand, I know that we have no hope, but I still want to fight, I am a soldier, I want to die on the battlefield, I feel that it is impossible to raise my hands and surrender, I would rather die than impossible!" As soon as the words fell, Li Juan's hand pulled the trigger suddenly! (To be continued.) )
