Chapter Twenty-Seven: Shock
In the rear of Hemei Town, which is 11 kilometers away from Changshu, Chen Fei received an order to rush to Hemei Town without stopping for a moment and settle down in a school. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The independent battalion had less than 100 people, and two company commanders died, and Chen Fei locked himself in an office, smoking a cigarette.
Fang Min came in and looked at this scene very sadly, walked in front of Chen Fei, and couldn't help but gently hug Chen Fei who was sitting on the chair.
Chen Fei also felt Fang Min's kindness, and also hugged Fang Min and cried bitterly, 5 minutes later, Chen Fei felt a lot better, turned around and pushed Fang Min away and said, "Thank you, are you in trouble?" ”
Fang Min said generously: "Don't be too sad, everyone is doing their best for this country." ”
"I know, but I'm still very sad." Chen Fei said.
"The division headquarters sent a congratulatory telegram, the Military Commission approved our battalion as an iron-blooded hero battalion, and I also truthfully reported the losses in the battalion, and the division headquarters called back according to your wishes, and the commander-in-chief of the materials and equipment Luo has ordered the logistics department to distribute them, and they will arrive in a few days." Fang Min said.
"Okay, I got it!" Chen Fei said.
Fang Min walked out of the office with a flushed face.
Chen Fei picked up the pen and began to arrange a company.
Deputy Battalion Commander: Tang Bing
Battalion Staff: Chen Bin
Ichi: Old dog
Second Company: Liu Meng
Three-in-a-row: Zhao Liu
Fourth Company: Tong Daniu (former platoon commander and gunner of the first company)
Scout Platoon Commander: Lao Crooked (Liu Guofu)
Quartermaster Logistics Platoon Commander: Old Mantou (Lou Kai)
Cooking Platoon Leader: Old Zhangtou
Everything else remains unchanged in accordance with the original position.
Chen Fei found a mouse and asked him to appoint the hair division.
In the afternoon of the next day, all kinds of supplies arrived, including 500 rifles, 6 machine guns, 29 boxes of grenades, and winter military uniforms and blankets.
At the same time, Lao Mantou also raised the military flag of the title of the 88th Division's iron-blooded hero battalion on the top floor of the school.
Chen Fei gathered all the soldiers and stood under the military flag and said excitedly: "Brothers, our independent battalion was established in the Songhu battlefield, after several battles, traveled to various places, and successfully completed the orders of the superiors, the soldiers from the original Central Army, became from all over the world, Xie Jiaqiao The first battle of my battalion suffered countless casualties, the alive and dead brothers have done their best for this nation-state, but the War of Resistance has just begun, and the living soldiers have to experience a greater war with me, the war is cruel, in order to defend the country, we can only defend it with blood and life, As long as there is fighting, there is hope for the country. Remember this military flag, this military flag will accompany you for a lifetime, because this is what you have exchanged for your life, what the military flag refers to, invincible. ”
"What the military flag points to, invincible!"
"What the military flag points to, invincible!"
The fighters shouted loudly.
In the evening, the replenishment of troops arrived, and Commander-in-Chief Luo replenished the independent battalion this time with veterans who had recovered from injuries and retired from the battlefield, a total of 500 people.
Early the next morning, Chen flew out of the office, and saw the fully staffed independent battalion on the playground.
"Mouse, call Deputy Battalion Commander Tang and the four company commanders over." Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" The rat turned around and went to call.
After a while, four company commanders ran over, and Tang Bing also walked over.
Five people sat around Chen Fei on the ground, and Chen Fei took out a cigarette and gave one each.
"How's the company doing?" Chen Fei asked.
"They are all veterans, and they are fully armed, but they are missing heavy machine guns, there are four mortars, but there are no shells, there are only eight grenadiers, and there are no grenades." Tang Bing said.
"It's good to be all veterans, after a battle, the tacit understanding will come up, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. Chen Fei said.
"There are too few light machine guns, and I also distributed the light machine guns of the bison steak to the companies, and I can only keep two per company." Tang Bing said.
Chen Fei was smoking a cigarette while thinking about something.
"Let's do it first! We should improve the combat effectiveness of each company, and think of ways to deal with weapons and ammunition. Chen Fei said.
"Everyone, if you have any questions during the training, you can always come to me or Deputy Battalion Commander Tang." Chen Fei said again.
"Yes!" The four company commanders got up and saluted Chen Fei and left.
"Tang Bing, hurry up the military training, we don't have much time." Chen Fei said to Tang Bing.
"Don't worry, battalion commander, I've been staring." Tang Bing said.
At this time, the old steamed bun came over and said: "The local mayor brought people over, saying that they were condolences to the troops, and they were all at the school gate, so you can receive them." ”
"Tang Bing went to take a look, don't let people into the school, just receive them at the door." Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" Tang Bing left with the old steamed buns.
Chen Fei sat on the lawn and watched the training of each company.
"Battalion commander, do you want to add a few more to the guard platoon, these 5 people are too few." Mouse Road.
"I'm not the division commander, I want so many people to protect me, that's enough." Chen Fei said.
"Yes!"
Military doctor Sun Qianliang walked in: "Battalion commander, I'll help you change the dressing." ”
Doctor Sun said to Chen Fei while changing the dressing: "Battalion commander, our health team's medicine gauze is seriously insufficient, I want to go to the street to buy some." ”
"Okay, call Ding San to go with you, bring a few more people, I don't worry about you going out alone." Chen Fei said.
"Okay, battalion commander." Sun Qian Liang said.
At noon, Chen Fei came to the Fourth Company and inspected the internal affairs and combat effectiveness of the Fourth Company with Company Commander Tong, and had lunch at the Fourth Company by the way.
The independent battalion was renovated in Hemei Town for two days, and after the training and supervision of Chen Fei, Tang Bing and other company commanders, the independent battalion returned to its original life.
Chen Fei's mood has also improved greatly.
The battle ahead was still tense, but the continuous resistance of reinforcements from all walks of life caused a great setback to the Japanese attack.
At noon, Chen Fei was very interested, called all the platoon commanders and above, set up three hot pots in a classroom, and invited everyone to eat mutton.
The guys from the Jiupinju Restaurant in the town came to help, so that Lao Zhangtou also tasted the wine and food without having to work.
The soldiers of the whole battalion also ate the big fish and meat of the restaurant, and it felt as lively as the New Year.
Zhao Liu and Tong Daniu were so drunk that their faces were red and their throats were thick, and they also punched loudly one by one. Tang Bing and Liu Meng faced each other, drinking the local specialty rice wine of Hemei Town in a big bowl.
Lao Gou and several platoon commanders and Liu Xiaomei, deputy platoon commander of the communications platoon, also confronted each other, and the two sides almost got into a fight after drinking.
Chen Fei drank rice wine, soaked mutton, drank and pecked himself, and enjoyed this atmosphere very much.
Fang Min took the wine glass and said to Chen Fei next to him: "Battalion commander, let's drink one." ”
"Good! Come! Chen Fei happily touched a glass with Fang Min.
"It's hard for you to follow me for days and days." Chen Fei looked at Fang Min and said.
"It's okay, battalion commander, I've thought about it a long time ago to be a soldier and kill devils." Fang Min said with a red face.
I don't know if it's because of drinking, or if it's because of the clinking glasses with Chen Fei, it's delicate, it's very tempting, Chen Fei stared at Fang Min dumbfounded, and really wanted to kiss it. Instead, Fang Min generously sandwiched the good mutton, and said while sending it to Chen Fei's bowl: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, or it will be cold, I'll give you more shabu." ”
Suddenly, Chen Fei felt happiness that he had never felt before, and he looked at Fang Min and smirked while eating, and the rich boy's expression was exposed.
The banquet didn't disperse until three o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Fei staggered back to the office to dream.
In the evening, Lao Zhangtou called for dinner a few times, and Chen Fei slept soundly and didn't wake up until one o'clock in the morning.
After waking up, after some washing, I saw the food on the table, and I soaked it in hot water and ate it. At noon, I just ate food and drank wine, I didn't eat, and now a big bowl of rice is in my stomach, which makes Chen Fei feel very satisfied, he took out a cigarette and made a cup of tea, at this time it was raining outside, looking at everything outside through the glass, Chen Fei remembered a lot, his parents, sister, Lu Nanfei's family in SH, and the brothers who sacrificed.
Only the bitterness of strong tea can calm Chen Fei's mind.
Suddenly, Fang Min hurriedly rushed in and saw Chen Fei and said, "Battalion commander, the Japanese army maneuvered from Kuncheng Lake and suddenly attacked Modi Town. ”
Chen Fei was taken aback, "Modi Town", isn't this the fucking town 5 kilometers ahead!
Why didn't there be any gunfire at all.
"Mouse, order the troops to assemble urgently, and the Japanese army is coming." Chen Fei shouted.
"Any instructions from the command?" Chen Fei said to Fang Min.
"The command ordered us to withdraw, without saying where to withdraw!" Fang Min said.
Chen Fei thought to himself, it's broken, the Wufu line has been broken, and the headquarters must be in a mess.
After a while, the playground heard the footsteps of the troops gathering.
"You also go and prepare, be careful of the equipment in rainy days." Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" Fang Min turned around and left.
Chen Fei put on a poncho and a steel helmet and said to Niu Tian: "You hurry up and tidy up, and the troops will be transferred immediately." ”
Chen Fei came to the playground, saw the neat troops of the independent battalion, walked to the front of the troops, and said loudly: "Just now the Japanese army attacked Modi Town, Modi Town is 5 kilometers away from here, the Japanese army will come over immediately, order the reconnaissance platoon to set off, target Changzhou, the first and second companies follow, communications, quartermasters, logistics, medical care, heavy machine gun platoon in the center, the third and fourth companies followed, and the third platoon of Ding covered, move quickly, start acting!" ”
Fifteen minutes later, the troops were already marching on the avenue, and Chen Fei's guard platoon brothers and Ding Sanplatoon covered the companies.
After leaving the town, Chen Fei relaxed a little, if this was surrounded by the Japanese army, the independent battalion would have to explain here, thanks to Commander-in-Chief Luo, who was still thinking about the independent battalion, and sent a telegram to inform him.
The separate battalion was constantly marching in torrential rains.
Towards noon, the troops arrived at the town of Qiaoqi in JY City.
"Mouse, order the troops to take a break, and inform the old crooked to enter Qiaoqi Town to find a place for the troops to rest." Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei couldn't help but look around with a telescope.
Fifteen minutes later, the old crooked man ran over and said, "Battalion commander, I found a large ancestral hall in front, where the troops can rest. ”
"Okay, let's go to the ancestral hall." Chen Fei said.
The march in the rain all the way, although there were raincoats, many soldiers were still drenched like chickens in soup.
When Chen Fei arrived at the ancestral hall, the cooking platoon was already pouring ginger tea for each company.
Chen Fei took off his raincoat and immediately entered the communication platoon next to him.
"Platoon Commander Fang turned on the radio and told the headquarters where we were." Chen Fei said.
"Battalion commander, I can't find the frequency of the headquarters radio." Fang Min said.
"Damn, it's all messed up again." Chen Fei said.
"Then send a report to the division headquarters and report the situation here." Chen Fei said.
Ten minutes later, the division headquarters called back: "Order the independent battalion of the 88th Division to set up a checkpoint in Qiaoqi Town, guide the retreating troops to pass, collect the stragglers, and strictly prevent the infiltration of the Japanese army." ”
"The order was given by the Military Commission!" Fang Min said.
"Huh? An order from the Military Commissar? Chen Fei said strangely.
"Yes!" Fang Min said.
"Mouse, tell the first company to guard the avenue of Changshu and set up a sentry post, the second company to guard the avenue of Jiangyin, and the third and fourth companies to defend the avenue to Changzhou." Chen Fei said to the mouse, "There is also an old gun to put all the mortars on the side of the road." ”
"There are no shells." The mouse was puzzled.
"Scare the routers who pass by, and pass according to our prescribed route, then there will be no chaos." Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" The rat turned around and went to report.
After a night of arrangement, a battle flag was displayed on the top floor of the Qiaoqi Town Office in the early morning of the next day, and the badge of the blue sky and white sun was written next to the "88th Division Iron-blooded Independent Battalion", so that all the troops knew that the 88th Division Independent Battalion was here, and all the defeated soldiers knew that the independent battalion was here, indicating that it was safe here.
At noon, a large number of troops retreated, and the troops with radio stations were notified to follow. There was no radio, and when they heard the march of other troops, they followed. When the chaotic formation arrived at Qiaoqi Town, and when they saw the independent battalion of the Central Army with neat appearance, complete equipment, and bloody battlefields, they immediately organized their ranks and passed through the town neatly.
The independent battalion also set up a collection point next to the ancestral hall to recruit scattered soldiers.
Just after a day of setting up a sentry, the communications platoon came with another message: The Japanese army directly crossed the Taihu Lake by motorboat.
When Chen Fei heard this, it was over, only Jiangyin was left in such a long Xicheng defense line, and I don't know how many troops were surrounded by the Japanese army in the Wuxi area.
The next day, the order of the division headquarters came down: "Retreat to Nanjing!" ”
The 88th Division of the Battle of Songhu fired the first shot and was the last to withdraw from SH. The so-called "fierce battle in March, there is no day without fighting"!
