Chapter 9 The Japanese Army Attacked Zengcheng
The Battle of Guangzhou began to break out under the premise that it could not be prevented.
In Daya Bay, in addition to those Cantonese soldiers who were killed and injured by the Japanese army and were still asleep; The 151st Division of the 65th Army, which was responsible for the defense of Daya Bay, also had many officers because they were busy with smuggling business and having fun with all kinds of people the night before, but they did not appear on the battlefield at the first time to command the operation when the Japanese army invaded Daya.
but also because of the ineffective command of the division commander Mohid, as well as the commander of the 451st Brigade below him, He Lianfang, and the troops of the 453rd Brigade; They were all afraid of a battle with the Japanese army, and easily abandoned their defensive positions, so as to let Tamsui with good defensive facilities; Huiyang and Huizhou were completely lost in two days, and fell under the iron heel of the Japanese army.
In this regard, the entire Guangdong army was shocked, because they could not have dreamed that they would be the starting troops of Commander Yu; In just two days, they were defeated by the Japanese army and lost several towns in a row.
When Yu Xmou, the commander-in-chief of the Cantonese Army in Guangzhou, found out about this, he was also shocked and dumbfounded, and his face was full of disbelief.
"What the hell is that stupid Mohid doing? Why was it so easily attacked by the Japanese army into Daya Bay, and occupied Huiyang and Huizhou! And that brigade commander He Lianfang removed his official position for me! When did my starting army appear such a wretched, so greedy for life and afraid of death! ”
"Shame! It's a loss of face! ”
Then, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, Yu Xmou, suddenly became furious, and roared hoarsely in his mansion.
"Now that the area around Daya Bay is about to be fully occupied by the Japanese army, we should deploy our troops in Guangzhou and Zengcheng as soon as possible to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Guangzhou!"
At this time, Chief of Staff Wang Jun proposed worriedly.
"That's right! I think so too, and we should immediately transfer the 20th Independent Brigade that was dispatched to support Daya Bay, and the 2nd Independent Regiment back, and garrison Guangzhou or Zengcheng together! ”
Chief of the General Staff Miao Peinan also added with a solemn face.
"Good! Just do what you want! In addition, I also hope that you will be the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, command our troops to kill the Japanese devils, and defeat the ambition and attack momentum of the Japanese army to invade our Guangzhou! ”
Commander Yu Xmou was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and also proposed with a smile to Miao Peinan.
"I'm sorry! Commander! The subordinates are incompetent, and there is no way to be qualified for such an important position, so I hope that the commander will choose another talent! ”
But Miao Peinan seemed to see that Guangzhou was about to fall under the iron hooves of the Japanese army, and politely refused.
In response to his refusal, Commander Yu Xmou glanced at the other party deeply with meaningful eyes.
Although Miao Peinan is a very talented person, but because he is not a confidant of Commander Yu Xmou, he still does not attach much importance to Miao Peinan, and he does not plan to rely on the other party to give advice and take on important positions.
"Alright! In that case, I can only choose someone else! ”
After a long time, Commander Yu X Moucai responded slowly.
An hour later, Li Zhenqiu, commander of the 186th Division, received an order from Commander Yu Xmou to serve as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy; and desperately stationed in the area of Zengcheng.
In order to make the strength of the 186th Division stronger, Commander Yu Xmou transferred half of the artillery unit commanded by Chen Chongfan to assist in the operation.
At the same time, the 20th Independent Brigade, the 2nd Independent Regiment, and the newly dispatched 1st Independent Regiment were also assigned to Yonghan Market to defend the back of Zengcheng from being attacked by the Japanese army.
At this time, in the various barracks of the 186th Division, it was also boiling.
"Hey! Have you heard of that? The Japanese devils have been killed to Jiuzaitan and Luofu Mountain! ”
"I've heard it a long time ago, it's all a waste of the 151st Division! Damn it! Unexpectedly, the Japanese devils occupied Huiyang and Huizhou within two days! ”
"Hey! There's no way! Whoever called Mohid and their officers were a bunch of pleasure-loving guys, how could a troop like them defeat those well-armed Robbheads! Didn't you see that he had two brigades of troops under his command and fled without a fight? ”
"Yes! It really lost the face of our Cantonese army, if only they were as powerful as our Commander Xue Yue, those Japanese devils would definitely be killed by them, and there would be no armor left! ”
"Let's not laugh at the 151st Division, now those little devils are about to kill us in Zengcheng, you still have to think about how we can resist Japan and kill the enemy! Whoever fails next time will be us! ”
"Tsk! Don't you need to think about it, you are from Fujian! Even if those rob heads occupy our Guangzhou, you won't feel much, but I am a native of Guangzhou; So even if I try my best, I will never let those rob heads invade our Guangzhou City! Otherwise, my family will be in danger! ”
"So do we! Resolutely resist Japan! Swear to kill the Japanese devils! Defend the city of Guangzhou! ”
Because many officers and soldiers of the Cantonese army were shouting loudly.
Wang Changgui, who was on the side, watched coldly, because he knew how enthusiastic these Cantonese soldiers were; No matter how excited you are, the city of Guangzhou will fall soon.
So he prefers to kill more enemies and talk less.
Therefore, when all the officers and soldiers of the 186th Division were talking, he made his soldiers train harder, and he also let these soldiers; Everyone must learn to fire mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and a variety of weapons.
Especially in training shooting, street fighting and bayonet fighting, he is even more strict to the extreme.
His purpose in doing this was to allow his soldiers to kill more Japanese devils and to survive on the battlefield.
On October 15, 1938, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 30 Type 97 light bombers suddenly flew into the sky above Zengcheng like ghosts.
"It's the little devil's plane, they're coming!"
"Everyone, get up! Fast! Grab your rifles and get ready to kill Robbhead! ”
With the appearance of the Japanese bomber group, the entire 186th Division was noisily boiling, and then all the officers and men hurriedly took their weapons and equipment from the various barracks, went to find shelter to avoid the Japanese bombing, and waited for the bombing to launch a counterattack after the bombing.
And Wang Changgui, who had been prepared for a long time, had already let all his subordinates hide in the cat's ear hole in the defensive position as soon as he saw the appearance of the Japanese bomber group; Or other bomb shelter fortifications, or inside bomb shelters.
And he personally launched an air raid alarm throughout the barracks.
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"
And when he did these things, the Japanese bomber group began to hover over Zengcheng continuously; Swooping and dropping bombs, strafing with machine guns, and bombarding indiscriminately.
Soon, the entire fortifications and buildings of Zengcheng were blown up, and many places were plunged into a sea of blazing fire.
"The Japanese devil of the dog day! You're finally here! ”
At this moment, Wang Changgui had also hidden in a hidden air-raid shelter in the line of defense he was in charge of, and held a Type 92 heavy machine gun inside, staring viciously at the Japanese planes in the sky that were constantly dropping aerial bombs and carrying out carpet-type bombing, and cursed.
"There are a lot of planes for these little devils!"
And Wu Zhiwei, the guard behind him, was a little nervous.
"When we fight with these robbheads, you won't be scared! Did you bring all my weapons and equipment here? ”
After Wang Changgui regained his composure, he said calmly.
"I've brought it all, Young Master Changgui! We'll be able to kill later! Guard Wu Zhiwei pointed to the six big wooden boxes behind him and said with a smile.
"Good! I bought all the money I stole from the Elite and my father to the British and Germans! ”
"So no matter what we say today, we have to kill a hundred or dozens of rob heads before we can turn the book! Otherwise, my money will be spent in vain! ”
Wang Changgui said solemnly.
"Hmm!"
Escort Wu Zhiwei replied briefly.
Because in the half-month hell-style special training under the personal guidance of Wang Changgui, he also developed the character of saying less and doing more, and killing the enemy bravely.
