505. Struggle
An hour, an hour later, I estimated that I had been martyred here, Commander Zhang looked at the scene of thousands of people fighting for their lives on the battlefield, and there were still crows and crows on the river, shook his head in despair, and hung up the phone gently.
"Lao Zhang? Lao Zhang? ”
Brigade Commander Dou seemed to realize something, but he couldn't do anything about it, and asked the staff officer to continue calling the 673 regiment, but no one answered the phone anymore.
Because at this time, Regiment Commander Zhang had already taken the only two guards around him, as well as a few staff officers, and rushed to the position together, and their backs were forever frozen in the raging fire, and they would not disperse for a long time.
Brigade Commander Dou was very anxious, he almost watched this old Zhang grow up step by step from Xiao Zhang, when he was still a company commander, he recruited a small soldier named Xiao Zhang.
After going through the rain of bullets and bloody rain, they walked with him step by step to the current position, and only they know the hardships and dangers of this, and only they know the bitterness and suffering.
Unable to connect with the 673 regiment, he sent the phone to the division headquarters, Lao Dou faced the old superior, Division Commander Zhou, and almost begged the division commander with a crying voice, no matter what, reinforcements should be sent to keep this hard-won army and this strategic place.
Division Commander Zhou also knows how powerful it is, but he is also short of major generals on hand now, the devil of the dog day, attacking on all fronts, and now he is overstretched everywhere, asking for people with him everywhere, and he also sent out all the reserves.
"Lao Dou, in this way, I will give half of my guard battalion, and the other half will already be given to the old man of the 340 Brigade, and I will be the commander of the light pole, and there is no problem."
A division commander, when it comes to this, what else can he say? What more could you ask for? Old Dou sighed and said:
"Teacher, thank you for your great kindness, Lao Zhang and I will remember you, you have to take care of yourself, and see you again in the future."
After speaking, Lao Dou, who could no longer find soldiers, also pulled up his own guard unit and went to reinforce the Xiaobengbu position of the 673rd Regiment at full speed.
At the same time, Commander Zhou of the 113th Division was also reaching out to the commander of the 51st Army, but General Yu was also in the same situation.
The 114th Division on the side of Linhuai Pass, Commander Mu had just hung up the phone, and he also asked for someone, so he could only divide all the reserves into two and send them to his two divisions, leaving only one battalion in the guard regiment, which was already very dangerous.
General Yu Xuezhong, the commander of the 51st Army, also hung up his phone to the Fifth Theater Headquarters at this moment, and directly went to Chief Li to ask for reinforcements, 100,000 urgent!
Chief Li hung up the phone, pulled the chief of staff, General Xu, on the map, and hurriedly searched for troops to see which unit was the closest and most effective.
In the end, both of them stayed on the 59th Army, yes, the 59th Army.
"Degong, the Huai River line is the last barrier in the south of Xuzhou, relying on an army in Xuezhong alone, it is really weak, now only the 59th Army is the closest, hurry up and call them to go."
"Okay, it's the 59th Army, the telegram ordered Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the 59th Army, to set off immediately, quickly approach the 51st Army, and jointly defend the position on the north bank of the Huai River.
Commander Li gave a death order to the combat staff officers beside him.
……
On the Xiaobengbu position, Regiment Commander Zhang, with the guards, sang the "March of the Volunteers", and in an instant, the whole regiment sang this blood-boiling revolutionary song, fighting against more and more devils.
Get up! People who do not want to be slaves, build our flesh and blood, our new Great Wall, the Chinese nation, when it is the most dangerous, everyone is forced to let out the last roar, get up! Get up! Get up! We are all united, braving the enemy's artillery fire, and marching! Braving enemy fire, advance! Advance! Go ahead!
What are the sons and daughters of China? They are;
What is a bloody Han Chinese? They are;
What is a hero boy? They are.
They, in the face of the swarming devils, had no fear and died bravely; They, in the face of a strong enemy, will not waver and hold their positions even if they fight to the last soldier.
What kind of force is this? After the battle losses reached more than 80 percent, only one tenth of the people remained, and they still insisted on fighting.
Most of the army, as long as the battle loss of more than half of the people, will basically be shaken, more than half of the time, almost start to retreat, more than sixty or seventy, will collapse.
And they didn't, they are still insisting, what are they insisting? Not insisting on reinforcements that are already hopeless, not insisting on the miracle of possible victory, but insisting on their last breath.
As long as you still have this breath, as long as you are still alive in this world, you must persevere, insist on standing up, fight with the enemy, die, and stand and die.
Tan Yizhong and Qin Guogang's two rows of people, except for most of the veterans, the rest are Jianghuai children, they participated in the war as regular soldiers for the first time, and they encountered such a magnificent and terrifying battle.
They are unfortunate, if they don't come, stay in Baohua Mountain or stay in Liuhe, although they have a bleak life at this time, but at least they can save a life.
They are also fortunate to be able to participate in the Great Patriotic War and die in such a magnificent war, as a soldier, as a soldier, it is a supreme honor and luck.
In the brutal hand-to-hand combat, Regiment Commander Zhang's left thigh was seriously injured by a grenade of a wounded soldier who wanted to die together, and he still sat on the ground and shouted:
"Brothers! Sacrifice your life for the country, although you are still glorious in death, you still have a breath, and you will fight to the end! ”
The guards around the regiment commander had all been killed, and it just so happened that Tan Yizhong and Qin Guogang two platoons of people were killed here, and they immediately protected the regiment commander and retreated.
In fact, the two rows of people were basically killed and wounded, and only one row of people was left standing, and the fallen were either dead or wounded, and those who were injured basically pulled the glorious bullets on their bodies and died together with the enemy.
The 673 regiment is like a candle in the wind, and less than one-tenth of the 200 or so people are left, holding on to the group, and facing the siege of more than 2,000 devils, the fire of life may be blown out at any time.
Finally! Finally, I heard the loud, inspiring, and life-saving trumpet, which was the trumpet from the 674th Brotherhood Regiment, which ran wildly for an hour, and finally arrived at the battlefield at the last moment.
Thousands of people, under the leadership of Regiment Commander Xu, ignored the repeated gasps, shouted and rushed to kill, and they didn't have time to deploy their troops, just like a whirlwind, they directly slaughtered into the enemy formation.
Tan Yizhong and Qin Guogang, who were preparing to be martyred, were like their comrades-in-arms at this moment, like a shot in the arm, and suddenly returned to the sun, and they could resist for a while.
The Japanese soldiers were divided into two routes, a small part of the way continued to surround the remaining 200 people of the 673rd Regiment, most of them met the coming 674th Regiment all the way, and it is estimated that nearly two brigades of men and horses went to engage the 674th Regiment.
