Chapter 156: Encounter (5)
"Sir, Sir Liao telegraph."
Day, in the second half of the night, Gaozhuang Village in the southwest of Gaochun County.
Leng Jie's department, which was on the march, received several telegrams from Liao Yaoxiang's department.
It's not that Leng Jie's department didn't accept it, but it had been silent before, so as not to be discovered by the Japanese army through signals.
"Director Liao, they were entangled by the Japanese army?" Leng Jie was a little surprised.
"Sir, according to the telegram, there may be a wing of the Japanese troops entangled in them." Liu Xin replied.
"A wing? If the Japanese army really had a wing, Director Liao, could they still move in so quickly? Leng Jie questioned.
"What does the commander mean that this was deliberately done by the Japanese army?" Liu Xin hesitated.
Leng Jie nodded, "It's very likely." With the strength of the Japanese army in one wing, with the strength of the Liao headquarters, it was not an opponent, but according to its telegram. The Japanese did not attack in a big way, but only sent a brigade to bite them, which is very unscientific.
This Japanese commander is fishing, and the Liao headquarters is now the bait, in order to attract our other breakthrough troops to reinforcements. ”
"Sir, what now? Shall we go for reinforcements? Xu Dong asked.
Leng Jie was also a little hesitant, but at this time, there were gunshots and firelight in the dark night in the distance.
The light of the fire was very bright in the night.
"Where's the gunshot?" Leng Jie pulled out his gun and asked calmly.
Soon someone ran in, only to see Daniel Zhang, "Sir, it's southwest, several kilometers away from us." ”
"Southwest? Map! Leng Jie immediately commanded.
Liu Xin hurriedly asked a staff officer to take out the map and then open it and lay it on the ground, under the illumination of the flashlight, he pointed to a point on the map, "It should be in this location, Huaqiao Town or Wanlan Town, this is already the last direction for us to break through."
Now the two sides of the firefight, our people should have met with the Japanese army. ”
"Sir, do we want reinforcements? At this time, we can completely bypass here and directly enter the boundary of Jing County, and then the brothers will be safe. Xu Dong hesitated.
Xu Dong is not the only one who has this idea, many people do not agree to the rescue, which will delay their breakthrough speed.
"I know what you think, but the brothers in front of us who broke out of the siege of Nanjing with us are all living and dying together.
I hope that in the face of the general interests of democracy, you will not put personal enmity first. Leng Jie didn't blame these subordinates, he just wanted these subordinates to understand some truths.
"Sir, you just give the order, as long as you don't run into the main force of the Japanese army, so many of our brothers are really not afraid of devils." Liu Xin said confidently.
Due to the fact that there were many routs that broke through along the way, the collection of yesterday and today during the day also turned Leng Jie's department into more than 2,500 people.
The three main infantry battalions, plus the special service company and artillery company, have more than 1,900 people, and they also have mortars and a large number of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns, and even the devil's 92 infantry guns have 4 guns.
As long as they did not encounter the Japanese troops of the size of the wing, these people were enough to crush an infantry brigade of the Japanese army.
In addition, there were about 300 seriously wounded in the wounded battalion and about 300 in the baggage battalion. As for the remaining civilians, they were also assigned to the wounded barracks to take care of the wounded soldiers.
"In that case, I'll talk about how to fight. Since we didn't know the scale of the battle in front of us, nor did we know how many Japanese troops there were, I took the second battalion and the special service company to participate in the battle later.
Chief of Staff Liu, you take the first battalion, the third battalion, the wounded battalion, and the baggage battalion, if my side sends a signal, then send troops to join the battle. Leng Jie commanded.
"Sir, why don't I take the troops with me?" Second Battalion Commander Daniel Zhang said.
"Sir, what Camp Commander Zhang said makes sense, after all, you are the sir, safety first... Liu Xin also persuaded.
"No!" Leng Jie glanced at Daniel Zhang and said lightly, "The devil who can kill me hasn't been born yet." ”
Seeing that Leng Jie insisted on going, the others could only give up.
So Leng Jie took the submachine gun and asked the new observer to take his own sniper rifle and follow him, and then hundreds of people disappeared into the night.
。。。。。。
"Commander, let's break through, there are too many devils."
In Huaqiao Town, a loud major was speaking to a colonel.
If Leng Jie was here, he would recognize this major as Li Sanpao of the Northeast Army.
Since the breakout, he has not seen Li Sanpao. It's just that there is one thing Leng Jie didn't expect, that is, Li Sanpao's commander is actually there.
The regiment commander in Li Sancang's mouth, this is this colonel, that is, the commander of the Northeast Army Regiment, Commander Wan.
It's just that Regiment Commander Wan was not in Nanjing City at that time, but broke through on the night of the city's break, but there were only a few adjutants and soldiers around him. At that time, the Japanese army was heavily guarded, and the commander of the Wan regiment did not succeed in breaking through, but was trapped in a village in Jiangning County and was taken in by a farmer.
And after Li Sancang broke through, he met his commander by chance, and then broke through together.
Along the way, Commander Wan gathered a lot of people, and there were nearly 1,000 people.
Seeing that it would be safe to pass through Huaqiao Town and Wanlan Town, I didn't expect to be told by traitors when I was resting near Huaqiao Town.
As a result, a brigade of the Japanese army surrounded the commander of the 10,000 regiment and the other troops in the village of Zhangjia, where they lived.
Although Commander Wan gathered thousands of defeated soldiers, his morale was low and his equipment was low, and he was no match for the Japanese army.
"Breaking through now, won't I let someone abandon my brothers?" Head Wan hurriedly shook his head.
"Commander, if we don't break through in time, we will all have to die here. It was easy for us to escape from Nanjing, and after this blockade, we were safe.
Commander, let the lowly cover your breakthrough. In the first battle of Nanjing, our 112th Division suffered heavy losses, as long as the regiment commander is here, our 677th Regiment will be in the 。。。。。 ”
At this time, the Japanese attack was even more fierce, and the 92 infantry guns and mortars directly broke through the position at the head of the village, and the Japanese took the opportunity to attack the village.
Moreover, these nearly 1,000 defeated soldiers have also suffered heavy losses, and since the beginning of the war, more than 300 people have been killed in battle, and what is even worse is that their bullets are almost gone.
When these routs broke through from Nanjing, they were in a hurry, they didn't bring many bullets, and even discarded a lot of weapons and ammunition in the middle in order to survive.
If you don't exchange fire with the Japanese army, it's okay, but now after a while, the bullets will bottom out.
"I'm out of bullets!"
A soldier suddenly shouted, like a drop of water splashing in hot oil.
"I'm out of bullets!"
"I've got three left!"
"Commander, break through, if you don't break through, it's too late!" Hearing that the troops outside were starting to run out of bullets, Li Sanpao was also anxious.
"Breakout? How can you break through now? Let me trade the lives of these brothers for my own livelihood? Anyway, I can't do it, bring the rifle, give me a bayonet, and fight with the Japanese army! ”
With Commander Wan's roar, the surrounding soldiers of the Northeast Army were stunned, and then they all pulled out their bayonets from their waists, and then attached them to the card slots of their rifles.
Li Sanpao was helpless, gritted his teeth, and also took off the big knife behind his back.
After a while, in the darkness, many of the defeated soldiers silently set up their bayonets, and then stood in the darkness.
In his eyes, there was fear and unwillingness, but he was soon replaced by the fighting spirit of seeing death as home!
