Chapter 38: Song Xilian

"Battalion commander, how is the regiment commander?"

"Battalion commander..."

On the south bank of Suzhou Creek, Liu's house position.

After several days of fierce fighting, Liu's house changed hands several times, but in the end, the Chinese army still held the position near Liu's house and wiped out thousands of Japanese troops in Nandu.

However, the Tax Police Corps, which is the main defense force of the Chinese army, suffered heavy losses.

Sun Liren, commander of the second detachment and commander of the fourth regiment, was wounded in 13 places all over his body, was dying, and was in a coma;

Qiu Zhiji, the commander of the Fifth Regiment, was killed in battle, and Zhong Baosheng, the commander of the Sixth Regiment, was also injured.

The four regiments were full of more than 5,000 people, and in addition to the wounded who were sent to the rear for treatment, there were now less than 2,000 people left who could still continue to fight; The fifth regiment was even worse, with less than a thousand people left.

Of course, the Japanese army was not having a good time, and the Japanese army that attacked Liu's house also suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and Rao was the ninth division as a standing division, but it could not withstand such a big loss.

After the troops near Liu's house were wiped out by the Chinese, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander of the Japanese Ninth Division, also had to order a postponement of the offensive.

Since the beginning of the war, the Ninth Division has suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, which can be regarded as a broken nerve.

Back to Liu's house.

As the veteran commander of the Fourth Regiment, Sun Liren was seriously injured and fell into a coma, which can be said to have touched the nerves of nearly 2,000 officers and men of the entire Fourth Regiment.

Li Hong looked at these worried subordinates in front of him and shook his head, "Chief Sun is still in a coma, but the above has already sent a car to send Chief Sun to the hospital in downtown Shanghai for treatment, and it is difficult to say whether he can get out of danger." ”

"We want to avenge Chief Sun and fight with Little Japan!"

"That's right, stay and fight Little Japan, avenge Chief Sun and the dead brothers!"

For a time, the officers and men of the first battalion were a little emotional.

"What's the noise?" Li Hong glared at these subordinates fiercely, and said sharply, "We are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey orders. Now our tax police corps has completed the task of holding the position on the south bank of Zhoujiaqiao and retreated to the rear to rest.

Look, with the way we are now, can we deal with the well-armed devils on the other side?

Give me the order to obey the order, do the handover work, and then withdraw to the rear. ”

Although the Tax Police Corps is not Lao Jiang's descendant, as such an elite force, the generals above will not see that the Tax Police Corps is really wiped out.

Therefore, the above ordered the 78th Army to take over the second detachment of the Tax Police Corps to defend the position on the south bank of Zhoujiaqiao.

Of course, the 78th Army only has one division, but don't underestimate the 78th Army because of this.

The 78th Army is under the jurisdiction of the 36th Division, one of the three major German equipment model divisions of the Central Army, and the army commander and division commander is Song Xilian, who graduated from the first phase of Huangpu.

"Battalion Commander Li, our Chief Song wants to see you!"

Just when the officers and soldiers of the four regiments and one battalion were still gathered, a captain came to the side and gave a military salute to Li Hong and said seriously.

Chief Song naturally refers to Song Xilian.

Hearing that it was Song Xilian who wanted to see him, Li Hong hurriedly tidied up his military uniform and prepared to go with the captain, but the captain did not move, but looked at the officers and soldiers of the surrounding battalion.

"Captain...

"May I ask who is Leng Yama?"

"Leng Yama?"

The officers and soldiers of the first battalion looked at Leng Jie in unison.

Leng Jie was a little puzzled, but seeing that he was looking for himself, he didn't hide, and stood up, "Report, I'm Leng Jie!" ”

The captain looked Leng Jie up and down, and found that the other party was younger than him, and they were all from the Central Military Academy, why did the other party become famous?

"You also come along, Chief Song also wants to meet you!"

When he came to this time and space, Leng Jie saw only two celebrities, Sun Liren and Li Hong.

Don't look at Sun Liren's famous back, but at this time, he is really not as good as Song Xilian, who graduated from the first phase of Huangpu.

At this time, Song Xilian can be described as a general at the first level among the students of Whampoa, a lieutenant general.

Although there is only one 36th Division below, the infantry division, which is one of the three major German divisions of the national army, is not the commander of the division.

For the generals of the first phase of Huangpu, Leng Jie still admires it.

For the Whampoa Military Academy, some people say that the first four periods are counted, some people say that the first five periods are counted, and some people count the first six periods.

In any case, the Whampoa Military Academy and the Central Military Academy after that, the most famous generals were in the first phase, followed by the fourth phase.

After all, the situation of the Whampoa Military Academy at that time, those who dared to apply for the examination were all very courageous people.

As the third celebrity he saw, Song Xilian from the first phase of Huangpu, Leng Jie was still very curious.

Soon Li Hong and Leng Jie were led by that captain to the military headquarters of the 72nd Army, located in a village behind Liu's house.

A lieutenant general in a yellow-green Central Army uniform is surrounded by a group of general-level officers, pointing at the map.

The arrival of the two also attracted the attention of these generals in the lineage of the Central Army, and they stopped their movements one after another.

When they came closer, Li Hong and Leng Jie immediately stood up and performed a standard military salute.

"Li Hong, the commander of the first battalion of the fourth regiment of the second detachment of the tax police corps, has seen the commander!"

"Leng Jie, the acting company commander of the third company of the first battalion of the fourth regiment of the second detachment of the tax police corps, has seen the commander!"

"What issue are you in?" Song Xilian asked with a smile.

"Report to the sir, the lowly position is for five periods."

"Report to the sir, the humble position is ten periods."

"Are you from Hunan?" Listening to Li Hong's familiar hometown accent, Song Xilian couldn't help but be a little interested.

"Yes, sir, the lowly position is from Xiangyin County."

"Xiangyin? It's quite close to my hometown, I'm from Xiangxiang, not far from your Xiangyin. Song Xilian said with a smile.

Saying that, Song Xilian shifted his gaze to Leng Jie next to him, he naturally heard that the other party was not from Hunan, and although the accents were similar, there were obvious differences.

Similarly, Song Xilian looked at Leng Jie curiously, and hesitated, "You are the Leng Yama who is famous for Suzhou Creek and Yunzaobang?" ”

At the mention of the word 'Leng Yama', the other officers present all turned their eyes away.

They are not very interested in Li Hong, an alumnus who graduated from the fifth phase and only mixed with a major battalion commander, but they are not interested in Guo Rugui, who is also from the fifth phase, and has become the chief of staff of the 54th Division of the Central Army.

And Li Hong in front of him was promoted to major not long ago.

On the contrary, they are more interested in Leng Jie.

Of course, before this, they didn't know about Leng Jie, but they had heard of Leng Yama.

This name is famous on the south bank of Yunzaobang and the south bank of Suzhou Creek, and the Chinese army is very proud when they hear it, and the Japanese army grits their teeth with hatred when they hear it.

It is said that more than 300 devils died under the spear of Leng Yama, and there was also a Japanese major general.

Since the beginning of the war, there have been generals in the Japanese army who have been wounded, but no generals have been killed, and Leng Yama is the first to shoot them.

This shooting record is enough to make Leng Jie's title famous on the battlefield!
