Chapter Sixty-Seven: Teng County! Teng County! (a)

Since the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Chichai Wing has marched all the way south and is invincible, and is known as the strongest wing of the Japanese Army...... For the small city of Teng County, they are determined to win!

The Chichai team made a detour back to the foot of Longshan and arrived at the area of Fenghe and Longyangdian on the afternoon of 15 July, which was only ten miles northeast of Tengxian County.

At this time, the main force of the defenders was arranged in the outer positions in the north of the city, and there were only three divisions in the city, the 122nd Division, the 124th Division, and the 127th Division, as well as the 364th Brigade and Brigade Headquarters, and the strength was only four special service companies, four communication companies, and four health teams, totaling more than 1,000 people, and there was no combat unit...... The situation is critical.

Tengxian former enemy headquarters, General Wang Mingzhang looked at the map and frowned, the enemy army came suddenly, the strength was far superior to the defenders in the city, and it was also well-armed...... The battle to defend the city is bound to be tragic, but it is the right time for the soldiers to serve the country!

He suddenly looked up at the herald, "Appointment...... Zhang Xuanwu, the commander of the 727th Regiment, was the commander of Tengxian County's defense, and immediately led a battalion to come to the rescue, and the defense of Beishahe was handed over to the regiment. ”

"Yes," the herald saluted, turned and went away.

General Wang turned his head to look at the chief of staff, "Wei Xian, telegraph the 266th Brigade to return to help." ”

"Yes," Chief of Staff Zhao Weixian agreed, and passed the order.

Master Wang looked at the map again and groaned...... Since the Japanese invaders raided Tengxian County, how could they smoothly mobilize reinforcements?

He walked to the table and dialed the phone number of the Lincheng Headquarters, "Commander, the Japanese invaders raided Teng County with the 10th Wing, the situation is critical, and I request support ......"

General Sun Zhen, deputy commander-in-chief, was shocked, "Is the intelligence accurate?" ”

"Yes," General Wang's voice was heavy, "I have urgently ordered the 726th Regiment and the 226th Brigade to return to help quickly...... In order to prevent accidents, we requested support from the headquarters as soon as possible. ”

General Sun sighed, "Zhizhong, all the combat units have been sent to the front line, and there is only one special battalion left in the headquarters now...... I will immediately report the situation to the theater command and strive for support ......"

General Wang put down the phone, and his heart slowly sank...... Far water can't quench your thirst! With the combat strength of the Chichai United, how long can Teng County hold out? One day? Quite a while?

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone rang quickly, and General Wang hurriedly grabbed the phone and put it to his ear, but he heard a sigh, "The bell...... I'll ask Zhirong to bring three companies of infantry to support you...... You must resist it, and the Twentieth Legion will go to reinforce you. ”

General Wang was stunned, "Commander...... Twentieth Corps...... Wang Zhonglian's 85th Army is in Lincheng......"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then I heard Commander Sun sigh, "The bell...... Remember, stay there and be helped! ”

"Yes!" General Wang's body was trembling slightly, and suddenly, he forcibly suppressed the trembling, "snapped" and stood upright, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, the commander should defend Teng County with all the soldiers, the city survives and survives, and the city dies and dies!" The Bell and the ...... of the Forty-First Army Never discredit the Sichuan army! The Sichuan army has fought for thousands of miles, and has endured cold eyes...... "When I meet someone who despises me, I must have nothing to be weighted with", then use actions to prove to the world that the Sichuan army is also a strong force in the country!

Putting down the phone, General Wang said loudly: "Weixian, gather all the ministers in the city and discuss the strategy of defending the city immediately." ”

Soon, the ministers came in a hurry.

General Wang counted the strength of the various units in the city, and his face was solemn, "Everyone, including the reinforcement troops, and the three infantry companies reinforced by the headquarters...... There are no more than 2,000 soldiers in the city! This city...... How to keep it? ”

Everyone was silent, they moved from Shanxi to Lunan and fought countless battles with the Japanese invaders, so they naturally knew the combat power of the Japanese invaders...... With such a comparison of forces, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold even a day!

"Division commander," a major staff officer broke the silence, "the enemy is outnumbered...... Sticking to Tengxian County, I'm afraid that it can only last for one day at most...... Humble advice, out of the city...... Mobile combat. ”

The crowd groaned.

General Wang looked around at everyone and muttered: "With my inferior equipment, I will fight against the strong enemy of modernization...... That's all it can be! What do you think? ”

Everyone nodded......

General Wang immediately got up and dialed the headquarters, "Commander, our department has decided to go out of the city...... Take mobile combat ......"

On the other end of the phone, General Sun groaned, "The bell...... The chairman of the committee wants us to defend Tengxian County, but we are waiting for help! Although there is a few more chances of winning in mobile combat out of the city, how to ensure that Teng County is not lost? ”

General Wang was shocked, "The bell understands!" ”

"O bell, ...... Resist it! General Sun sighed, "I should try my best to urge the 85th Army to go to Tengxian as soon as possible......"

General Wang hung up the phone, walked back to the conference table quickly, and looked at Regiment Commander Zhang Xuanwu, "Regiment Commander Zhang, immediately send a message to all the officers and soldiers in the city that our department has decided to defend Tengcheng to the death." I am with you, the city survives and the city dies! The south and north city gates were immediately closed and blocked, and the east and west city gates were temporarily left on traffic roads and were also ready to be closed at any time. No one is allowed to leave the city without my warrant, and those who violate it will be punished on the spot! ”

"Yes!" Head Zhang took the order and left.

Division Commander Wang looked around at everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is just right for a soldier to serve the country with his body!" ”

"Slap ......", everyone stood up one after another, looked at General Wang with blazing eyes, and shouted in unison, "Serve the country with your body!" ”

On March 16, the morning sun was rising, and the golden sunlight shrouded Tengxian County, putting on a holy coat for it.

Outside Tengxian County, Chichai Dazuo looked at this ancient city with burning eyes, and gently waved his big hand, "Attack!" Chichai United is invincible! ”

"Conquer everything!"

The soldiers of the wing shouted in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow!

"Bang bang bang...... Shhhhh......h

The field artillery brigade launched an attack, and the black-pressed shells rushed out of the barrel, pierced the void, and pounced on Tengxian County like flying locusts......

At the same time, more than a dozen planes swooped down from the sky, and bombs rained down......

"Boom...... Bang...... Rumble ......"

The ancient city of Tengxian was full of artillery fire, the flames soared into the sky, the smoke was billowing, and the broken bricks and tiles were splashed everywhere......

Until midday, the city of Tengxian County has turned into ruins...... The field artillery brigade turned the muzzle of the cannon and slammed into the southeast corner of the Dongguan wall, and in a moment it exploded a gap more than two meters wide. Then, dozens of light and heavy machine guns were used to fiercely strafe the gap to cover the infantry attack......

The bloody battle in Teng County has officially kicked off!

In the southwest of Pingyi, Li Siwei and the second battalion were marching in a hurry.

The military situation is urgent! Li Siwei was anxious...... The tragedy of the defense of Tengxian County, he also knew something in his previous life, and he had special feelings for the 41st Army that fought alone! It's all a war of resistance...... Why would they be isolated? It shouldn't be like this!

"Big ...... Cannon," Liao Heiniu's injury has not healed, and he dared to come all the way, and he was already panting like a cow, "No...... No, again...... Go down...... Even if it's ...... Caught up in Teng County...... The brothers can't move......"

Li Siwei was stunned and looked back at the brothers behind him...... The veterans could barely hold on, but the recruits were already sweating and stumbling.

"Let's ...... Let the brothers ...... Let's take a break," Liao Heiniu smiled wryly, "Mostly...... It's all ...... Recruits, how can they still be like ...... The second battalion is so neat......"

Li Siwei sighed secretly, "Black Bull, you're right, Lao Tzu can't pull a tired army up to send him to death...... Let the brothers take a break! ”

"Okay," Liao Heiniu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he always felt that Li Cannon was a little abnormal today, and he was anxious as soon as he came out of Pingyi City......

All the way to the march, the recruits were already panting like cattle, and their limbs were sore...... At this time, they really realized the pain of being a soldier.

Wu Ruolan sat on a rock, her breathing gradually calmed down, but her ankles were sore and swollen...... Although she has learned some boxing and kicking since she was a child, where can she catch up with such a road? Encounter mountains and mountains, meet water and wade through water, and encounter forests through forests...... It was a hard way out of the mountains.

"Sister Ruolan," Ning Rou leaned down and handed her a pot of water, "You're not used to it, are you?" It was the same with my first rapid march, but the more times it went, the better it would be......"

Wu Ruolan looked at this weak young lady with some surprise, "Platoon leader...... How long have you been in the military? ”

Ning Rou smiled slightly, "It should be...... It's almost a year, and I joined the army after the Lugou Bridge Incident......"

"That'...... What did you do before? Wu Ruolan was a little curious.

Ning Rou was stunned, "I used to be a student at Peking Medical College...... Why do you ask? ”

Wu Ruolan smiled wryly, "I'm just curious...... You look so soft and weak, why did you get used to it in such a short time......"

"Oh," Ning Rou nodded and sighed leisurely, "You'll understand after a few battles...... If you want to live...... You've got to run faster than the little devils...... During the retreat from Shanghai, the planes of the little devils dropped bombs in the sky, and tanks and trucks chased desperately behind them...... The brothers who have fallen behind will not survive at all......"

Wu Ruolan was shocked, and there was a hint of respect in her eyes...... She had heard that Platoon Commander Ning had been to Shanghai and Nanjing before, and at that time, she still didn't believe it, but now, she believes it! This woman is far stronger than her appearance!

Ning Rou suddenly paused and smiled at her reluctantly, "Do you regret it?" ”

Wu Ruolan was stunned, "Do you mean that you regret joining the army?" ”

"Well," Ning Rou nodded, looking at her gently, "You've never suffered like this, have you?" ”

"It's not bitter," Wu Ruolan smiled and shook her head gently, "You can follow a big hero like Captain Li...... No matter how hard it is, it's worth it! ”

Ning Rou was stunned, she was a woman, so she could naturally understand the fleeting obsession in Wu Ruolan's eyes.

"Okay," Li Siwei's voice suddenly sounded, "All open, slow down, and conserve your strength...... Tengxian is not far away, and they all cheered up......"

"Bang ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out in front of him, followed by a loud shot......

"Liao Heiniu," Li Siwei shouted, "The second battalion is handed over to you...... Dao Kui, go to the front with Lao Tzu to have a look. ”

With that, he galloped away with his sword.
