Chapter 42: The Last Battle
In the former enemy headquarters in the Third War Zone, everyone's faces were very solemn.
Because this is the third meeting today, the content of the meeting is how to rescue Yao Ziqing's troops from Baoshan.
Not long ago, they received the news that the Japanese army had gathered heavy troops to storm Baoshan, and at the same time, they also received an urgent telegram from the high command from the chairman of the committee.
"Guys, do you have a plan?"
In the face of the inquiry of the commander-in-chief Chen Cixiu, a group of countries in the Third War Zone. The senior officers all drooped their heads.
It's not that they don't speak, it's really that Baoshan is already a dead end.
In the case of your own decline, forcibly send troops to reinforce, that is, moths to the fire.
The previous 67th Division is the best proof.
Chen Cixiu continued: "Yao Ziqing's troops have repeatedly made meritorious contributions in Baoshan under the condition that our army has been defeated and retreated, which has greatly boosted the morale of the people of the whole country and the soldiers on the front line.
Today, under the propaganda and momentum of the media from all sides, Yao Ziqing's department has become a benchmark for our army and a heroic unit admired by tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, whether it is in view of the order of the commission, or for the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War, this Yao Ziqing and Yang Jing must be rescued. ”
When he said this, he was looking at Luo Youqing.
Because Yao Ziqing's department is subordinate to his 15th Group Army.
It is worth mentioning that although Luo Youqing is only the deputy commander of the 15th Group Army, because the commander-in-chief Chen Cixiu is also the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the theater, the 15th Group Army is actually under his full command and operation.
Seeing the commander-in-chief looking at him, Luo Youqing thought about it and said with embarrassment: "Chief Chen, all units of our army have been fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders for more than a month, and all units have suffered heavy losses.
It's not that I haven't sent reinforcements before, and you know it, sir, that the 67th Division was attacked by the Japanese army as soon as it was halfway there.
The road to Baoshan was cut off by the Japanese army, and the losses of the 67th Division were extremely heavy.
Therefore, now if you want to send troops to reinforce Baoshan, you really have more than enough heart but not enough strength!"
Chen Cixiu said: "Brother You Qing, I know all this, but the chairman has an order, how can we not obey it?" ”
Luo Youqing said: "The Japanese army has suffered a big loss in Baoshan, and it will definitely destroy Yao Ziqing's department at all costs, and now gathering heavy troops to besiege Baoshan is the best proof."
Now if you want to rescue Yao Ziqingbu, it is too difficult. ”
How could Chen Cixiu not understand what he said, if it weren't for the Japanese army's sudden onslaught on Baoshan, the chairman of the committee would not have sent the emergency telegram just now.
Chen Cixiu continued to ask: "Then in Brother You Qing's opinion, what should we do?" ”
Luo Youqing thought for a while and said, "Chief Chen, today's Baoshan is already a bottomless quagmire, and no matter how many troops are sent over, it will not be able to fill it.
If we forcibly increase our troops, it will disrupt the deployment of our army and make the defenders on the entire battlefield fall into passivity.
Therefore, I suggest that we can attack the Japanese army from the front, so that the Japanese army can feel the pressure, so as to divide the defense and weaken the offensive against Baoshan.
In this way, the chance of Yao Ziqing's breakthrough success will be relatively much greater. ”
Chen Cixiu said: "However, Yao Ziqing and Yang Jing have just made great achievements in Baoshan, and they have become national heroes and role models for the three armies.
If they fail to break through, how can we explain to the chairman? ”
How could Luo Youqing not see that Chief Chen wanted him to be this villain.
So he immediately changed his previous attitude and said to him with a serious face: "Sir, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and what we need to take into account is the war in the entire war zone and even the whole of China!"
It is true that Yao Ziqing's ministry has made great achievements, but compared with the entire Shanghai, Nanjing, and tens of millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River, you should know which is more important.
On the battlefield of Songhu, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are fighting bloody battles with the enemy without fear of life and death, why can't Yao Ziqing's troops be loyal to the country? ”
After Chen Cixiu pondered for a moment, his deep gaze swept over the rest of the people one by one: "What do you mean?" ”
Everyone responded in unison: "The lowly rank thinks that there is no better way than Deputy Commander Luo's proposal." ”
"Alright! I know! After a pause, Chen Cixiu ordered with a serious face: "Pass my order, and all front-line troops will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army!" In order to cooperate with Yao Ziqing's breakthrough from Baoshan! ”
In the end, Chen Cixiu added: "Pay attention to ensuring the safety of each department!" ”
"Yes!"
The crowd roared into orders.
…………
Golconda.
Fierce fighting continues.
Because Yang Jing arrived in time, he used the conscienceless cannon to destroy three Japanese tanks one after another, killing dozens of enemies; This greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, and at the same time greatly boosted the morale of the defenders.
Yao Ziqing was able to successfully defend the east gate.
However, after the attacks on the east and west gates were frustrated one after another, the Japanese army immediately changed the focus of the attack and gathered heavy troops to launch a fierce attack on the north gate.
Guarding the north gate, there were only seventy or eighty soldiers from the third company, plus important firepower was deployed at the east and west gates. Therefore, under the powerful offensive of the Japanese army, the defense line of the north gate was quickly breached.
Takashi Saito was a captain of the 6th Infantry Wing under the 3rd Division and 5th Brigade of the Japanese Army.
Because the headquarters of the 68th Infantry Wing was raided by Yang Jing and there was no commander for the time being, the 6th Infantry Wing took over its attack on Baoshan County.
At this time, the north gate had been breached, and Saito Taka, the old devil, was full of spirit, and he was rushing into the city with a confident command.
He wants to show the defenders a little bit of strength, and he also wants to show the imperial army of the 68th Wing how his 6th Wing fights.
"Kill the chicken and give it (charge)! Warriors of the Empire, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor, attack, strike! Saito Taka waved his saber in his hand and gave a sharp order.
Suddenly, hundreds of devil soldiers immediately stopped and their rifles rushed into the city along the gap in the city wall and the hole in the city gate.
On the devil's Type 38 rifle, the bayonet with a sharp handle reflected a terrible cold glow under the light of the fire in the city.
"Brothers, fire! Fight, fight with these little devils raised by bitches! ”
The commander of the third company who retreated from the city wall hid behind a ruin, and fired a few shots at the devils rushing along the street.
One of the devil commanders who took the lead in the charge suddenly fell to the ground.
The sound of gunfire was an order, and the next moment, the remaining forty or fifty defenders all opened fire.
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da! ——”
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang! ——”
Suddenly, it was like rain, whistling and pouring out.
"Puff puff ......"
The devils who were charging, and people kept screaming and falling to the ground.
"Yaga! Fight back, fight back! Machine gun group, grenadier group, fire suppression! ”
Saito Taka held the saber in his left hand, and he was holding the Wangba box again, and while pulling the trigger, he kept scolding his subordinates hoarsely and firing back.
