Chapter Eighty-Seven: Retaking Kirin Town
Sun Yumin was talking to the visiting exhibition hall at the headquarters, constantly comforting this little girl, and sent a small unit to attack the Japanese army in Qilin Town, but was almost wiped out by an artillery bombardment.
"Brother Sun, you said that the evil door is not an evil door, your troops went to burn the devil's tail, they didn't dare to put a fart, Lao Tzu's people went to put a few cold guns, and the devil actually used heavy artillery to bombard, it was really unlucky, I lost a battalion, I really felt sorry for me." Zhanshutang said.
"Brother Zhan, I'm afraid you didn't just put a few cold guns, I heard that they have set up a few heavy machine guns, ready to eat people's search teams." Sun Yumin said with a smile.
Zhanshutang smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Sun, I can't hide anything from you, now I have suffered a big loss, one battalion plus three ......."
When Sun Yumin was listening to the words of the exhibition hall, Xiaoshanzi outside the door shouted a report.
Zhanshutang stopped talking, and looked out, Sun Yumin's guards stood at the door under the pouring rain, not moving, even if the first few steps were the eaves, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Why are people's soldiers so good!
"What's the matter? Come in and talk. When Sun Yumin saw him like that, he felt something bad in his heart.
Xiao Shanzi didn't enter the house, but stood at the door and said, "Master, Zhang Quan, they are back, and they are still with dozens of mud legs, and Sister Chen has been crying since she saw them." ”
The thunder will sound from time to time, it has been raining for two or three hours and there is still no tendency to weaken, Zhanshutang has been drenched when he comes, naturally he will not return to the position where there is nothing in the rain, seeing Sun Yumin heard that a certain girl has been crying, this look of soullessness, Zhanshutang wanted to laugh in his heart: This kid also has a weakness, I thought he was a saint before, it turned out that he was also a fellow believer in the hero's sad beauty pass.
"Brother Sun, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, don't worry about me. It's raining so heavily, so I just have to bother my brother for a while. Zhanshutang said.
"How can this work? Brother Zhan is here, how dare Yumin be rude. ”
"You and my brother don't be so polite, you go get busy first, and Chief of Staff Liu will accompany me."
"Master, go and take a look, don't worry." Liu Wenzhi, who has been accompanying him on the side, also persuaded: "I will entertain Master Zhan here." ”
People have already said this, Sun Yumin naturally will not push back any more, he said to Zhan Shutang: "Then I am temporarily out of company, please take care of Brother Zhan." ”
After finishing speaking, he shouted to the small room next to the headquarters: "Girl, come out quickly, follow me to Chen Yun's side." ”
Xiao Yuying, who had been tired for a day, was lying in Sun Yumin's quilt with his clothes and falling asleep, until he called twice before he was awakened, yawning and rubbing his eyes, following Sun Yumin's ass like a fart, and walking towards the house where Chen Yun and the others lived. She was lucky that there was a half-devil who was always paying attention to her to help with the umbrella, but she didn't notice that half of Lin Yuanping's body was wet from the torrential rain.
Sun Yumin took the umbrella and walked into the room, and saw a room full of people with tears in their eyes, and there were even two people he didn't know.
Seeing Sun Yumin walk in, the people in the house stood up one after another and made way for him, but Chen Yun didn't stand up, sitting on her bed, her eyes full of tears, and Deng Xiufen stood next to her.
Sun Yumin walked to her side, leaned over and asked softly, "Yun'er, what's wrong?" What's so sad? ”
Chen Yun's eyes were a little red and swollen, and there was a heavy nasal voice in her voice: "Yumin, Uncle Gen has sacrificed!" ”
Sun Yumin felt inexplicable, he had never heard of this name, and he didn't know this person, he thought to himself: Is this Uncle Gen Yun'er's relative? Or is it her superior?
Deng Xiufen saw that he was completely ignorant, and said, "Brother Sun, let me introduce you to you." ”
She beckoned Captain Yang and the pillar to come over, pointed at them and said, "These two are the pillars of Captain Yang of the Jiaxiang guerrillas and the Juye guerrillas. Then he introduced to the two of them: "This is Sun Yumin, the commander of the 20th Division of the National Army, and the one from Sister Yun's family, you can call him Master Sun or his brother-in-law." ”
Sun Yumin smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to the two, and said, "Thank you for coming to see Yun'er." ”
Captain Yang and Zhu heard about Chen Yun on the way here, and they also knew that she was also sent from Yan'an, and had a close relationship with the commander of the 20th Division of the National Army, but they didn't expect the relationship between the two to be so close. When Sun Yumin's hand reached over, the two of them shook it at the same time, and gave up at the same time in embarrassment. The embarrassment of the two made Chen Yun laugh, and the previous sad atmosphere in the room was broken like this.
Sun Yumin didn't continue to stretch out his hand, changed it to a gesture to beckon people to sit, and said, "Yun'er said just now that Uncle Gen sacrificed, so now can you tell me who Uncle Gen is?" ”
Deng Xiufen originally wanted Captain Yang to say that she would stop her, the little girl could be a guerrilla captain, so she naturally had her mind and opinions, and the pillar was pushed up by her, and said: "He is Uncle Gen's person, and he has been following Uncle Gen for a long time, and he has participated in the whole battle this time, and it is the most suitable for him." ”
Sun Yumin nodded in agreement with her statement, Chen Yun and the others also acquiesced, and then Zhuzi spoke: "Uncle Gen is the captain of our Juye guerrillas, although our team has not been formed for a long time, but in fact, our gang of people has been with Uncle Gen for a long time, and they used to be united together, not bullied by people with foreign surnames and people from other towns, and then the devil came, Uncle Gen took us to start fighting guerrillas everywhere, and it was his efforts that made our team the strongest among the nearby guerrillas." When he said this, he also glanced at Captain Yang, as if he was worried that his words would hurt others.
This subtle action made Sun Yumin look at it in his eyes, and made him have a better impression of GCD people.
"This time, I found out that the devil's artillery position was set up in Renzhang Village, and Uncle Gen had a plan to sacrifice himself at that time. Outsiders don't know, but Uncle Gen, who has lived on this land for most of his life, knows that the underground of Renzhang Village used to be a coal mine, and someone had mined here during the warlord melee, and then the well was permeable, and after one or two hundred miners died, no one was willing to go down the mine, and slowly the mine was abandoned. ”
Zhuzi walked to the place where he had just sit, took a sip of water, and continued: "Although the mine is deserted and the wellhead is closed, a lot of coal is still pumped out of the ground, which means that Renzhang Village and even Renli Village are empty. ”
"The devil's artillery position is so tightly defended, with our three forces of men and horses at that time, it is undoubtedly more difficult to attack than to ascend to the sky. So from the beginning, Uncle Gen planned to die in the mine with the devils. ”
"The tunnel connecting Renzhang Village and Renli Village was actually only rebuilt on the basis of the mine road back then, which Uncle Gen didn't expect, when Zhao Laofu and Da Xizi, two people from the village, told Uncle Gen about these things, he strengthened his determination even more."
As he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Quan and his four warriors standing at the door, and said, "You must have been very strange when you saw us arguing earlier. That's everyone drawing a lot of life and death, and the person who draws the death lot wants to follow Uncle Gen and him to blow up the tunnels and mines. ”
Sun Yumin originally wanted to ask why he didn't place the explosives properly, clicked the lead and ran out again, but when he thought that there was no concept of time bombs in this era, and directional blasting could not be realized, he could only use this stupid method to fill it with human lives.
Needless to say, Sun Yumin already knew the result, Uncle Gen and the people he brought with him must have detonated in sections, and finally blew up the entire mine, accompanied by dozens of heavy artillery pieces and a large number of devils, and buried themselves in this coal mine that had been abandoned for many years.
"Don't worry, I won't let Uncle Gen die in vain." Sun Yumin's eyes flashed, and he said to Xiao Yuying and Lin Yuanping, who came with him: "Inform the regiment-level cadres, and the headquarters will hold a meeting immediately." After speaking, he walked up to Chen Yun, held her hand in front of everyone and said, "Yun'er, I can't spare the energy to take care of you during this time, you must be careful yourself." ”
Chen Yun nodded and said, "You too." ”
"yes, I know." Sun Yumin let go of her hand, turned around and wanted to leave, but stopped again, looked at her affectionately, and said in his mouth: "Also, take good care of the one in your belly, our child." ”
……
In the Command.
On both sides of the conference table sat Liu Wenzhi, Li Tiedan, Zhang Xiaohu, Deng Dongping, Sun Jiehai, Lai Wenli, Liu Jiahua, Li Tianxi, Dong Wenbin and others sitting upright, Sun Yumin sat in the first place, and opposite him sat the director of the political department sent down from above, Tang Chunhong and Xiao Yuying sat behind Sun Yumin, both holding a notebook in their hands to record.
"There is good news, a detachment we sent earlier, with the cooperation of the GCD guerrillas, took out the artillery position of the devils." Sun Yumin said: "Everyone knows that if the devil has no artillery, it is a cat without claws, a snake without fangs, do we still need to be afraid of them?" ”
In addition to Sun Yumin's voice, only the heavy breathing of everyone was left in the headquarters, and the director of the political department sitting opposite Sun Yumin felt unusually depressed, a feeling he had never felt before.
"In order to make the devil's artillery unable to fire a single shell, the Juye guerrillas under the leadership of the GCD party made great sacrifices, and the captain Uncle Gen and more than 20 soldiers sacrificed their lives and died together with the devil's artillery position." He didn't care about the shocked expression and uncomfortable look on the face of the head of the political department on the other side when he said these words.
"People have won this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us with their lives, and if we don't use it, how can we be worthy of the hero's spirit in the sky!" Sun Yumin stood up, his expression was extremely serious, and he began to give combat orders: "Deng Dongping, Deng Dongping, 58115 Regiment, Lai Wenli, 117th Regiment of the 59th Brigade, and Li Tianxi, the newly formed 1st Regiment of the 58th Brigade, set off immediately. Attacking Qilin Town on three sides, Sun Jie's naval artillery regiment immediately shelled Qilin Town. No matter how the four of you fight, I will stand on the devil's position in two hours. ”
After the four people who were named by name finished saluting, they left quickly, and Sun Yumin then said: "Zhang Xiaohu of the 58th Brigade led the 116th Regiment as a reserve to follow me. ”
"Yes!" Zhang Xiaohu stood up and saluted and replied, and looked at Li Tietang proudly.
When the troops of the 20th Division braved the heavy rain to pass through the position of the 81st Division in Zhanshutang, he was stunned, he didn't know which one Sun Yumin was going to sing again, and hurriedly called the phone of the 20th Division, and asked a bunch of questions into the microphone, but he didn't ask who answered the phone at all. ”
As soon as Zhanshutang heard that Sun Yumin had personally gone into battle, his heart was immediately overjoyed, and as soon as he put down the phone, he shouted: "The chief of staff has notified several brigade commanders and regiment commanders to come over for a meeting quickly." ”
The chief of staff was startled by his sudden voice and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" What excites you so much. ”
Zhanshutang was full of smiles and said: "Sun Yumin is going to eat meat, let's go to be an uninvited guest, divide him two pieces of meat to eat, how can you eat just by drinking soup, do you say it." ”
The chief of staff was amused by his words, and said: "Shizuo, don't be dumb, let's talk about it, how do we divide the meat in Sun Yumin's bowl?" ”
"Sun Yumin personally went into battle this time, if he is not sure of victory, do you think his bandit-like subordinates will let him come?" Zhanshutang seemed to know the 20th Division well, and continued: "The 20th Division just passed with a new regiment, did it go straight to the direction of Qilin Town? ”
The chief of staff replied: "Yes, division." ”
"That's right, just a regiment passed, and Sun Yumin personally brought another regiment over, which clearly shows that he wants to eat the devils of Qilin Town, with my understanding of him, I am afraid that it is not only this little force that will attack Qilin Town, but also a lot of troops are estimated to have been prepared in other directions." Zhanshutang said.
"According to what you said, the devil in Qilin Town is already in Sun Yumin's bowl, so how can we get his meat?" The chief of staff asked.
Zhanshutang laughed and said: "This is too simple, isn't Sun Yumin going to pass by our position?" The two of us will take a regiment or a brigade and act with him. ”
Sun Yumin in the team sneezed a few times, he didn't know that he had been relied on.
The rain finally stopped after a whole afternoon, and the soldiers on the devil position in Qilin Town also changed their guards one after another, and the devil soldiers who had just come down from the position were drenched and walked to the town dejectedly.
After the brave soldiers of the Imperial Army, who braved the heavy rain to support in the afternoon, came back, all of them were like frosted eggplants, and unbelievable things came out of their mouths, the entire artillery wing and the infantry brigade that served as the garrison of the position suddenly lost contact, and there was a huge black hole in their position, which was bottomless, all the people, all the guns were gone, and even the villagers in the village suddenly disappeared.
After the news came back, the Japanese troops in the entire Qilin Town fell into a panic, not only afraid that the artillery would happen to them, but also worried about what kind of blow the Chinese army would get without the support of the artillery.
Before the ghost soldiers who had changed their guards entered the town, there was a sharp sound of cannonballs breaking through the sky.
Sun Yumin really spent a lot of money in order to get rid of the devils in Qilin Town, and even used the 105mm caliber howitzer that he had never used, although it was not as fierce as the devil's 150mm caliber howitzer, but it was enough for them to drink a pot.
In just one hour, Sun Yumin's 20th Division, a newly formed regiment reorganized from the Sichuan Army, took the lead in attacking Qilin Town.
That night, the Chinese army did not stop, chasing the devils who fled to Jiaxiang all the way.
Under the pressure of the strong forces of the 20th and 80th Divisions, and because of the lack of artillery assistance, Furong Zhenping led his troops to abandon Jiaxiang County on their own initiative, and all the troops retreated to Jining City.
