0400 Overseers from the Central Army
0400 Overseers from the Central Army
In fact, Wang Liang is very reluctant to mention this history to others.
Wang Liang thinks that this is a piece of his own black history.
Wang Liang will never forget the situation when these guys from the overseer team appeared in front of the soldiers of the Sichuan Army dressed in blue-green in the yellow-green uniforms of the Central Army.
Descendants and non-descendants.
Biological and step-mother-raised.
That disdainful look, Wang Liang will never forget.
Coincidentally, the supervision team led by Wang Liang was assigned to the 122nd Division of the 41st Army of the 22nd Group Army with Wang Mingzhang as the division commander.
Of course, as soon as he arrived at the 122nd Division, Wang Liang, who had the rank of lieutenant colonel, was dismounted.
It was at that time that Wang Liang and Wang Mingzhang, two family members, met.
At the beginning, General Wang Mingzhang looked down on Wang Liang from the bottom of his bones, until after the battle began, Wang Liang's performance completely changed the general's view of this young man.
Of course, that's all for later.
"Everyone knows that the Battle of Taierzhuang was a victory, a beautiful fight, and a defeat in the Japanese army's campaign offensive. But do you know the situation of the troops involved in this battle? ”
Wang Liang continued: "The 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, where I belong, had poor soldiers' weapons, and each regiment was only equipped with four mortars and four heavy machine guns, and the whole division and even the whole army could not find a single cannon. The most lacking was light machine guns, no more than ten in a brigade, and the soldiers mainly relied on Sichuan-made rifles, broadswords, and grenades for combat. ”
Why does Wang Liang feel ashamed.
The officers and men below the rank of lieutenant of the Sichuan army wore worn straw sandals, and the officers could barely mix a pair of cloth rubber shoes.
On the other hand, these guys from the Central Army's supervision team, the lieutenant officer each has a pair of brand-new leather shoes, and Wang Liang, as a school officer, is even issued with a pair of leather boots.
Each person has a German steel helmet.
Let's talk about weapons again, Wang Liang's supervising team has a total of 400 people and a battalion.
The C96 box gun, which is all for officers, is available in both semi-automatic and fully automatic.
The soldier was armed with a Mauser 98k and a mid-formal.
Each company had two heavy machine guns, the heavy machine gun was a Type 24, imitation Maxim, a water-cooled, 250-round canvas chain-fed machine gun.
One Czech ZB26 light machine gun per platoon.
Compared with the Sichuan army, it can be said that it is very rich.
A 400-strong overseer team was equipped with more firepower than a division of the Sichuan army.
What is even more ironic is that the equipment with these firepower is, to a certain extent, aimed at the Sichuan army.
Because the task of the overseer team is to supervise the Sichuan army on the front line to fight, if there is a deserter, they can be killed on the spot.
It is no wonder that Wang Liang and his thieves were not treated well by the Sichuan army at that time.
"Wang Mingzhang's department received an order to defend Teng County. Tengxian County is located on the northern line of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, and is a necessary place for the Japanese army to attack Taierzhuang and Xuzhou in the south after occupying Jinan. ”
Wang Liang further introduced: "The county seat is located on the east side of Weishan Lake in Shandong Province, on the lakeside plain west of the Lunan Mountains. ”
On March 14, 1938, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army Ryosuke Isoya gathered a part of the 106th Division, with a total of more than 30,000 people heading south.
On the same day, the Japanese army broke through the mountain defensive positions in the north of Tengxian County and surrounded the county seat to the south.
The next day, more than 10,000 Japanese troops began a large-scale attack on the county under the direct command of the brigade commander Seya.
Wang Liang said: "At that time, the Fifth Theater Commander's Department sent an order to General Wang Mingzhang, ordering his troops to hold Tengxian County for three days, thinking that it would take out the time to complete the deployment in the Taierzhuang War. At the same time, as the captain of the supervision team, I also received a secret order from the commander of the supervision division of the fifth theater to closely monitor the movement of the Sichuan army, and if there is a tendency to retreat, it can be necessary to deter it. ”
It can be said that Wang Liang has a lot of disposal power.
It can also be seen that Chang Kaishen does not trust the Sichuan army very much.
This is also the reason why Wang Liang, a team of only 400 people, was equipped with so much heavy firepower.
Of course, Wang Liang did not act according to the orders of the chief of the war department.
Otherwise, Wang Liang would not be Wang Liang.
The members of the Supervisory Brigade, many young officers and soldiers who have received systematic training, generally have a patriotic heart and a desire to serve the country, and are eager to fight the Japanese devils.
So, under Wang Liang's simple mobilization, they were quickly incorporated into the combat sequence of the Sichuan army and participated in the battle.
Wang Liang also generously took out a considerable part of the light and heavy machine guns and other weapons and equipment equipped by the supervision team and handed them over to the Sichuan army for use.
It was from this time that the attitude of the Sichuan army towards these members of the supervision team from the Central Army underwent a subtle change.
From hostility at the beginning, it gradually became friendly.
It didn't take long for the Japanese army to cover the infantry with planes, tanks, and North China artillery to cover the continuous onslaught of the infantry on the county seat of Tengxian.
After two days of brutal fighting, the whole city was completely rubble, and the city walls were destroyed in many places.
After many iron-and-blood battles, although the Sichuan army suffered heavy casualties, it still fought to the death.
General Command of the Front.
"Report to the division commander, the Japanese army captured Dongguan outside the east gate of the county and the southern city wall of the county seat."
When he heard the news, Wang Mingzhang's heart couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "What about Wang Lin, the head of the 740th Regiment guarding Dongguan?" ”
"Commander Wang Lin, martyred."
Hearing this bad news, General Wang Mingzhang almost fainted.
In 1918, Wang Lin was admitted to the Sichuan Military Military Academy of the National Revolutionary Army.
Since then, he has been following Wang Mingzhang and successively served as platoon commander, company commander, and battalion commander.
In 1928, he was promoted to commander of the 29th Army Corps and chief of the officer training corps.
In the spring of 1931, Wang Lin served as the magistrate of Beichuan County.
Beichuan is located in the mountainous area of northern Sichuan. The land is barren and the people are poor, the production is backward, and the villagers are living in extreme poverty.
Wang Lin, who served as the county magistrate, advocated that government officials be honest and honest, and that they should care about the people's welfare.
He was committed to alleviating taxes and helping the people to live in poverty, and he encouraged farmers to cultivate land and collect more grain to feed themselves.
He practiced it himself, took the lead in cultivating vegetables in the county government, and strived to be simple in life, often coarse tea and light rice, just to satisfy hunger.
He also allocated more than 10,000 yuan to build schools and social relief homes.
It can be said that Wang Lin is a very famous person among the children of Sichuan Province.
In March 1932, Wang Lin went to the Lushan Officer Training Corps and the Nanjing Central Army Military Academy for higher education training.
After completing his training, Wang Lin once again served as the commander of the 29th Corps.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Wang Lin was appointed as the colonel of the 740th Regiment of the 124th Division of the 41st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and was ordered to lead the army north.
After Wang Lin left Sichuan, he moved to Shaanxi Province, Jin Province, and Lunan Province to fight against the Japanese invaders.
When fighting, he always charges at the front.
When he was fighting on the front line in Jin Province, because he was seriously ill and had difficulty moving, Wang Lin asked the guards to carry him to the front line with a basket to direct the battle.
Now, shocked to hear the bad news of Wang Lin's martyrdom, every officer and soldier of the Sichuan Army in the front-line general headquarters is not saddened.
One more good brother is missing.
