0402 Urgent! Hurry!

After the call ended, the General Headquarters received another message that the southern city wall was in an emergency.

The commander-in-chief, General Wang Mingzhang, could no longer sit still, and everyone knew that the last moment was coming.

Wang Mingzhang personally went to the southern city wall to supervise the battle.

Because the general headquarters at that time had no troops to adjust, Wang Liang's supervision team followed.

Wang Liang recalled some of the circumstances at that time: "Before General Wang Mingzhang went to the southern city wall, he sent the last telegram to Sun Zhen, commander-in-chief of the 22nd Group Army and commander of the 41st Army, at the headquarters of the city. ”

Of course, at the time, no one knew that it would be the last message.

Now, looking back, Wang Liang's heart is inexplicably uncomfortable.

To this day, Wang Liang can still accurately recount the content of that telegram: "Lito, Lincheng, army commander Sun, ○ secret." There was no friendly gunfire on the Independence Hill side today, and it was hoped that it would be stopped by the enemy. At present, the enemy is bombarding the city from morning to noon with field artillery planes, and the enemy infantry has repeatedly landed in the city and has been repulsed in several places. Recall the training of the commission, open the cover of the words of consolation, and fight to the death, in order to report the country, in order to report the encounter. Sincerely. Wang Mingzhang. Knock. ”

Fight to the death to repay the country.

Obviously, Wang Mingzhang is ready to die.

After the telegram was sent, Wang Mingzhang ordered the communications staff officers to be ready to destroy the radio station and password at any time, and personally went to the front line to supervise the battle.

In the south of the city, Wang Mingzhang met Lu Kang, commander of the 370th Brigade of the 124th Division, who was commanding the operation.

Lu Kang reported to Wang Mingzhang: "Division commander, there are still 200 people on my side who can continue to fight. ”

The brigade of 7,000 people was beaten to only 200 people, and every general's heart would not feel good at this moment.

Wang Mingzhang encouraged: "Linan, you have worked hard, you are all good, and you have not embarrassed our Sichuan army." ”

After a brief understanding of the situation, Wang Liang suggested to Wang Mingzhang: "Division commander, let's think of transferring some troops from outside the West Gate. As far as I know, we have a regiment outside the West Gate, and since the Japanese army's key attack directions are at the East Gate and the South Gate, the pressure on this regiment is relatively light, and it is still a formed unit. ”

Wang Mingzhang asked: "Okay, Captain Wang, please go to the West City Gate to see what the situation is over there." If there is no pressure on the west gate, then order them to return to the south gate. ”

"Don't worry, division commander, you will definitely complete the task."

Wang Liang left most of the people of the Inspectorate team, and he took a dozen people to the west gate.

When he arrived at the West City Gate, Wang Liang found that the battle here was also very fierce.

At this time, the guards on the west tower were fighting with the devils who pressed over from the south city wall, and they were holding the city tower to the death.

Dada-

Bang bang -

Fierce firefights.

Bullets glide past the ears and can take the lives of soldiers at any moment.

Wang Liang braved the rain of bullets to climb the city tower again, and just took a look.

A shuttle of bullets hit, and a bullet swept past Wang Liang's arm, and immediately blood covered his clothes.

Wang Liang couldn't care about bandaging, and as soon as he turned around, he only heard the guard next to him shouting: "Captain!"

Wang Liang looked up and saw that two devils had rushed to the city gate with bayonets.

Wang Liang is not a vegetarian either, and pulling out a pistol and raising his hand is two shots.

The two devils rushed to the city gate, and the devils fell to the ground.

At the same time, Wang Mingzhang had already rushed to the crossroads in the center of the city to supervise the battle in the east city.

It turned out that after breaking up with Wang Liang, the situation at the south city gate had stabilized, and Wang Mingzhang, who was not worried about the east city, took the guards to the east city wall again.

At this time, the street fighting in Dongcheng was in full swing.

The Japanese devils are like floods that have burst their levees, pouring in one wave after another.

Fierce exchanges of fire ensued between soldiers on both sides, and from time to time there were hand-to-hand fights.

In the smoke, the sword and blood shadows, and the shouts of killing drowned out the sound of gunfire.

A lieutenant company commander on the side of the Sichuan army was red-eyed, and led the remnants to rush into the Japanese camp, and died heroically after slashing and killing several devils.

Wang Lin's 740th Regiment, which had already been killed, was also in Dongcheng.

He Xuanrong, the deputy commander of the regiment, was ordered to take over the position of head of Wang Lin, and led more than 20 people of the 740th Regiment to rely on sandbags on the street to engage in street battles with the Japanese devils.

Seeing that the division commander was coming, He Xuanrong hurriedly stepped forward to make a report.

"How many people are left in the 740th regiment?" Wang Mingzhang asked.

He Xuanrong: "Report to the division commander, in addition to these more than 20 people, our regiment still has troops at the West City Gate. The number of people is around 100. ”

Wang Mingzhang nodded, and then ordered: "You go to the West City Gate immediately, control the troops over there, and maintain the West City Gate passage." ”

"Yes, Commander." He Xuanrong received the order.

Wang Mingzhang suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, that's right. The deputy tax division commander is seriously ill, and you immediately arrange for someone to escort him out of the city. Also, find a way to get Captain Wang of the Overseer team away with him. ”

Wang Mingzhang felt that Wang Liang should not have fallen here.

He had more important things to do.

And the soldiers of the Sichuan army can't go, their order is to defend Teng County.

"Yes!" He Xuanrong naturally understood what the teacher meant, and left in a hurry after receiving the order.

After arranging, Wang Mingzhang looked back, and there was another person, military doctor Qiu Zixin.

Qiu Zixin is Wang Mingzhang's cousin, and he has followed his cousin Wang Mingzhang since he joined the army when he was young, from being a hygienist to a military medical officer, and he has a very affectionate feeling.

Wang Mingzhang waved his hand at his cousin Qiu Zixin and ordered: "The situation is urgent, it is important to rescue the wounded, you go quickly!" What is the problem between the deputy division commander and the wounded, play you are asking. ”

When life and death parted, Qiu Zixin was naturally reluctant to leave, but this was a battlefield order, so he wiped a handful of tears and left.

Since then, the brothers have not seen each other.

This is the last side.

Wang Mingzhang met Zhou Tong, the county magistrate who was supervising the battle here, he stepped forward and held Zhou Tong's hand tightly and said: "County magistrate Zhou, if the reinforcements do not arrive, the city will be broken." You hurry up and lead the county government dignitaries out of the city, so that the nest will not break, and more people will be reserved for the county government. I cherish myself, maybe there will be a period in the future, and I won't send troops to escort it. ”

After three months of getting along, Wang Mingzhang, the commander-in-chief of the army, and Zhou established a deep friendship with the local official.

Wang Liang interrupted and said, "We'll talk about this county magistrate named Zhou Tong later." ”

On the other side, He Xuanrong had already taken several personal guards to escort the deputy division commander to the West City Gate.

At this time, the devils who had occupied the corner of the southwest city wall and the devils on the south city wall continued to fire machine guns at the west city gate, and the bullets continued to hit the front of the city gate.

Wang Chaolian, deputy brigade commander of the 370th Brigade of the 124th Division, who commanded operations at Xichengmen, was shot in the chest and seriously wounded.

The guards of the Overseer led by Wang Liang have also been killed, and Wang Liang has also been shot in the thigh and has lost his ability to move.
