On 6 April, the 20th Army Corps defeated the Sakamoto detachment that had come from Linyi to reinforce the Seya detachment, and the main force moved south, quickly clearing the enemy east of Taierzhuang, and then, attacking all the way to the west, the Seya detachment fled in a hurry, and the ammunition, grain, and clothing were too late to be taken away, and they were burned, and artillery, tanks, and chariots were abandoned on the battlefield.

The remaining Japanese troops in the city were blocked by the defenders with heavy fire and grenades, and most of them were annihilated.

On April 7, there was no more gunfire in Taierzhuang, and the blue sky and white sun flag were planted high in the city, waving in the wind.

Victory, victory!

The defenders were cheering, cheers mixed with cries.

In Taierzhuang, the houses collapsed, there were ruins everywhere, and the corpses were stacked in the ruins.

Master Chi silently walked through the ruins, staggering...... The surviving brothers were cleaning up the battlefield, but many of the corpses had already been blown to pieces, and they couldn't even distinguish friend from foe, and the brothers were finding, picking, and piecing together in the rubble, wrapped in tarpaulins, some with tears in their eyes, and some crying.

Looking at this scene, Master Chi's body trembled slightly...... Suddenly, he raised his head and closed his eyes tightly, but two lines of tears had slipped from the corners of his eyes, silent but unable to hide his grief!

Victory, victory, but ...... Many brothers have been lost forever! Those are their own brothers, they have followed their birth and death for so many years, and in the end...... But I can't even find all the corpses! What a tragic victory!

The remnants of the enemy on the periphery of Taierzhuang fled in panic in the direction of Yixian, but the stronghold of Zhangshan had already changed hands.

"It's coming, it's coming...... Get ready! ”

In the Zhangshan stronghold, Li Siwei put down the binoculars and was in good spirits, the remnants of the little devils were coming in a hurry in the direction of Zhangshan, and the formation was scattered!

Near, closer......

"Hit!"

"Bang bang bang...... Shhh......h Rumble ......"

The field artillery on the mountain rang out, and the whistling shells rained down on the little devils, and the smoke of gunpowder billowed and shrapnel flew sideways.

"Da Da Da ......"

The machine guns on the mountain rang out, and the bullets fired like locusts pounced on the little devils, blood splattered, and screams came and went.

The little devil's heavy weapons were lost, and there were strong soldiers chasing behind him, so he had to turn around in a hurry and flee north.

"Commander, chase it!" Fucha Morgen's face was full of excitement.

The other brothers also looked at Li Siwei with anticipation on their faces, their eyes blazing.

Li Siwei shook his head gently, "No need to chase...... Defend your stronghold! ”

The little devils have all fled, and they are still guarding? However, looking at Li Siwei's determined look, everyone was slightly disappointed.

Liu Heishui looked at the little devil who fled in the wilderness, and smiled, "This is the most refreshing battle that Lao Tzu fought...... Turtle's, when I was in Shanghai, the little devils took machine guns and cannons to beat Lao Tzu's big knives and earth guns, and today, Lao Tzu also used machine guns and cannons to beat them so that they didn't dare to fight back, this is called retribution! ”

Li Siwei glanced at him, "Lao Tzu is picking up soft persimmons here, the friendly brothers have already scared them!" ”

The 1st Division of the Twentieth Army blocked the retreat in the northeast direction, and the Sakamoto detachment was unable to break through and had to move northwest to approach the Isoya Division.

The main force of the Twentieth Army and the First Division of the Second Army were in hot pursuit, and the remnants of the Seya Detachment were powerless to resist, so they fled back to Yixian in a panic, and joined the defenders of Yixian to resist desperately, but how could they resist the imposing pursuers?

The little devil resisted a little in Yi County, and fled to Zaozhuang in a panic.

The soldiers fought to the front line of Linzao, and the remnants of the Seya detachment resisted stubbornly, and a fierce battle was fought in the dark, at this time, the reinforcements of the Isoya division came in a hurry, and the battle was at a stalemate.

On April 11, the 11th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, there is a crescent moon hanging in the night sky, and the silver light is sprinkled on the world, bright but cold.

A team quietly drove into Peng Village, which was the third regiment led by Li Siwei.

At this time, the Zhangshan stronghold had been handed over to the Twentieth Corps, and the Third Regiment was ordered to withdraw to the south bank for rest.

In a series of battles, the three regiments suffered heavy casualties, and the number of soldiers in the battle was less than 600, and Li Siwei naturally couldn't ask for it if he could withdraw to the south bank to recuperate.

The brothers were a little disappointed.

Looking at the weapons scattered along the way, looking at the friendly troops with rainbow morale, who is not enthusiastic? However, they did not have their share in such a great war.

The team entered the village and settled in the dilapidated compound.

Wei Yidao and his brothers in the cooking row were preparing dinner, and soon, the night sky was filled with the aroma of food.

The wall collapsed, diamonds, clods of earth and charred wood piled up most of the courtyard, and the remaining two houses were still inhabitable, and Li Siwei arranged the regiment headquarters here.

The brothers cleared a clearing in the yard, picked up some charred black wood that had not been burned, and lit a bonfire.

Li Siwei asked Gan Fei to call a group of battalion and company commanders and held a meeting around the bonfire.

The crowd was not in high spirits, and sat silently by the campfire.

Li Siwei looked around at everyone and sighed leisurely, "Lao Tzu knows, let you go back to the south bank to rest at this time, you all hold your breath in your hearts, right?" ”

Liao Heiniu looked at him, and said angrily: "Of course there is anger, the little devil is in front of him, but he just doesn't let the old men fight ......"

Li Siwei shook his head gently, "Black Bull, Lao Tzu has long said that this battle may take a long time, and it will take a little devil to fight, and there will be opportunities in the future, so you can't rush!" ”

Liao Heiniu didn't argue, but he still looked unwilling.

Li Siwei's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and his voice became low, "Brothers, how many brothers are left in our group to fight with the little devils?" Five hundred? Six hundred...... Are these brothers done? ”

The crowd was silent.

Li Siwei sighed, "The brothers are all done, and the three regiments are gone...... Feng Zhenyi, you followed Lao Tzu to fight the cavalry of the little devils...... At the foot of that mountain, when we were caught up by the cavalry of the little devils, Wang Qingfeng, what did they say, do you remember? What Luo Ping'an said, do you remember? ”

Feng Zhenyi was shocked, and slowly lowered his head.

Li Siwei's voice trembled a little, "Wang Qingfeng, they said, regiment commander, the special service company can't collapse, and the third regiment can't collapse!" After shouting this, they dragged their wounded bodies and rushed towards the cavalry of the little devils...... This is the last thing they said to Lao Tzu! Luo Ping'an said, if the three regiments do not collapse, we will always live! After saying this, he rushed towards the little devil on a single horse......"

The crowd hung their heads silently.

Li Siwei took a deep breath, "The little devil killed my brother, slaughtered my people, trampled on our great rivers and mountains, and had a blood feud with us, and I can't wait to kill the little devil...... However, the three regiments can't collapse! For the sake of the brothers who died in battle, the three regiments can't collapse! ”

"Cannon, don't say it," Liao Heiniu raised his head, tears looming in the light of the firelight, "Lao Tzu understands!" Rest and recuperate, and then find a little devil to do it when the old men are well rested! ”

"Yes, yes...... The little devils want to fight, and the three regiments can't collapse! ”

The crowd chimed in.

"Okay," Li Siwei nodded, "Let's go back and tell the brothers well, although the three regiments have withdrawn, the morale cannot be dispersed!" Let the brothers cheer up, and when they are rested, they will come back again! ”

"Yes!" The spirits of the crowd were lifted.

Everyone dispersed, Li Siwei looked up at the silver moon in the sky, and sighed leisurely, "The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned to ...... in ten years."

"If you don't say anything, you will succeed and your bones will wither."

Ning Rou's voice sounded softly in his ears.

Li Siwei hurriedly turned around, Gan Fei and the others had disappeared, and Ning Rou was standing quietly behind him...... Seeing her, Li Siwei's heart suddenly felt a little warmer.

"When did you come?" Li Siwei gently took her hand and pulled her to his side.

"Just came," Ning Rou smiled softly and sat down beside him gently, "Actually...... Can I go to the South Shore to rest...... I was happy in my heart. ”

"Oh?" Li Siwei was stunned.

Ning Rou gently leaned on Li Siwei's shoulder and sighed leisurely, "Although I don't have to go to the battlefield to fight, I have seen no fewer wounded than you...... Their wounds, their blood, their screams...... I never dreamed of it. ”

Li Siwei gently hugged her delicate body, she was only twenty years old!

In times of peace, she could only be counted as a child...... However, she was born in this war-torn era, but she was a military doctor, with bloody wounds in her eyes, screams of her brothers in her ears, and blood from the wounded on her hands and face......

The silver glow was sprinkled in the small courtyard, bright and cold, fortunately, there was a fire in front of him, and there was a beloved in his arms!

Sleeping until dawn, the brothers were in good spirits again.

After breakfast, the morning sun has jumped out of the sea of clouds, the sun shines on the earth, and there is a little more warmth in the village.

After the team was assembled, they slowly drove towards the south of the village.

As soon as Li Siwei walked to the entrance of the village, he heard a brother in front of him exclaiming, "It's blooming, the pomegranate tree is blooming......"

Li Siwei quickened his pace, the pomegranate flowers were supposed to wait until early summer to bloom!

There were originally many pomegranate trees in Peng Village, but most of them have lost their vitality in the shelling, and there are still more than a dozen vigorous pomegranate trees in the south of the village, and at this time, the flowers have bloomed.

Many brothers looked at the blooming pomegranate flowers with surprise on their faces, and Li Siwei also saw that the pomegranate trees that stood proudly were full of red and bright flowers, red as fire and red as blood.

"Why are pomegranate blossoms blooming so early this year?" A voice was full of surprise and doubt, "We also have pomegranates in our hometown, and I remember that it will take more than half a month to bloom." ”

One of the brothers sighed, "Mao Wazi, the pomegranate trees here are all poured out of the blood of the brothers......"

Everyone was silent, yes, the blood of countless brothers watered these pomegranate trees! Look at the flower, red in the sun, dazzlingly red!

All the way south, the pomegranate trees along the way are blooming, and the blooming flowers are as red as blood!

When they arrived at Lizhuang, a tank and three trucks were added to the team, and the wounded and baggage were put into the cars, and the team marched much faster.

Gan Fei drove the tank as he wished, with a smug face, "Regiment Commander, thanks to Company Commander Liu who left some gasoline at that time, otherwise our tanks and trucks would have to be ...... like little devils."

Li Siwei smiled slightly, the little devil's tanks and trucks ran out of gas, and they couldn't drive away and had no time to destroy them, and a lot of them were captured!

In the giant village, the three regiments drove into the village, and the brothers who stayed behind were naturally rejoicing, and the three regiments brought back a lot of loot, weapons and ammunition, canned food, as well as trucks and iron kings.

The giant village is full of laughter, the wine is fragrant and the meat is pure, and there is no shortage of a feast.

At the division headquarters, Division Commander Guan looked at Li Siwei carefully, his eyes blazing.

Li Siwei was a little cramped, "Division Commander ......"

"Hehe," Master Guan retracted his gaze curtly, "Lao Tzu is just curious." ”

"Curious?" Li Siwei's face was full of doubts.

Master Guan nodded and smiled mysteriously, "You don't know yet, do you?" ”

Li Siwei was even more puzzled.

Master Guan sighed, "Lao Tzu is really a little reluctant...... The order from above has come down, I am leaving, and there will be no independent 66th Division in the future. ”

"Ah," Li Siwei was shocked, "Division Commander, the 66th Division is gone, and the 3rd Regiment is gone!" ”

Division Commander Guan shook his head, "If nothing else, it will be the 66th Independent Brigade in the future, and you may be the Brigade Commander of the Major General...... Major General, what a young Major General! ”

Li Siwei was a little confused, Major General Brigade Commander?

Master Guan looked at him with a smile, "Siwei, is there twenty-five this year?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned and smiled bitterly secretly, the body of a twenty-something, the soul of a thirty-something...... He really couldn't answer that question.

Master Guan smiled slightly, and no longer asked, "Siwei, you are still young and have a lot to do...... You haven't experienced it yet, and you can't figure it out, but you have to remember to be more patient in the future...... To be honest, your current personality is not suitable for being an official. ”

Li Siwei nodded, he didn't think about being a big official, but since he came to this era and is a soldier, he has to take on the duties of a soldier!

Senior Commander Guan sighed, "Originally, according to your combat merits, you could have been promoted a long time ago, but now you are only a lieutenant colonel acting regiment leader...... This time, the above noticed you, this is a good opportunity, don't stab Lou Zi again. ”

"Stab Lou Zi?" Li Siwei smiled bitterly, "Commander, when did I stab Lou Zi?" ”

Master Guan shook his head slightly, "Siwei, this pool of water is deep...... People like you and me who have no background can only be people with their tails between them, otherwise, someone will always find a way to get you down, you know, the people above like to be obedient. ”

Li Siwei nodded, no matter what era it is, the superior is like this!

Master Guan nodded with satisfaction, "It's good if you understand...... It's not the same as in the past, and I heard that if you want to be a general, you have to check it yourself by the chairman. ”

Li Siwei nodded, "I understand the humble position, thank you to the division commander." ”

"Hehe," Master Guan waved his hand, "Don't thank me, you must know that if it weren't for you, maybe I would have been gone with the Guangming Collection a long time ago...... I'm not afraid of your jokes, although I'm not afraid of death, but I still want to survive. ”

Li Siwei was stunned and smiled, "Teacher, in fact, everyone is the same!" ”

Yes, soldiers are also people, who is not happy to be alive!

People always like to describe warriors by sacrificing their lives and forgetting death, but, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't mean that they don't want to survive, but there are some things that they have to defend desperately, such as the survival of the nation and the safety of the country!

The order was soon down, and reinforcements took over the river defense of Jucun.

Master Guan left, took his brothers with him, and heard that he went to Hankow.

Li Siwei's order also came down, not for promotion, but to move to Luohe and rest!

Li Siwei was a little surprised by this order, is it really like what Master Guan said?

Li Siwei didn't think much about it, took the order, and immediately made the brothers move.

The team is leaving, and there are still a lot of injured brothers who haven't returned! Get them all back!

The team is leaving, many brothers are from Pingyi, and their families are still in Xuzhou! They have to be told to say goodbye......
