Chapter 115: The Wind and Rain
After the 38 big cover in his hand was thrown out, Sun Yumin didn't even have the style of a guy who was desperate with people, he smiled bitterly, and said to the little girl who was sitting on the ground: "Sister, don't be afraid, there is a brother to accompany you on the road." ”
Xiao Yuying was still staring at Zhou Shanjun stupidly, but when she heard Sun Yumin's words, she hurriedly replied: "Brother, I'm not afraid, it's just that I haven't killed enough of a thousand devils, and I haven't avenged the fathers and villagers in Liujia Village, Linjiang, and I am unwilling." ”
Watanabe Nakasa has been following Tu Feiyuan for a long time and can understand Chinese, and he saw that the ** people who were divided into many small pieces were already invincible, but they were still desperately resisting. The corpses of the Imperial Army soldiers in one place seemed to be complaining to him, but Watanabe did not suppress his emotions anymore, and shouted, "Kill these Shina soldiers!" ”
"Lie down!" A Chinese word came at the same time as Watanabe's Japanese, and the voice of shouting this sentence was also familiar.
Sun Yumin didn't think much about it, and directly knocked down the little girl sitting on the ground and protected her to death. Zhou Shanjun and Li Tianxi also reacted quickly, especially Zhou Shanjun, who looked thin, and he threw his blood-stained bayonet at the nearest devil soldier, and threw a grenade before lying down.
The devil soldiers who besieged the four of them were all frightened by this grenade that did not even open the cover and ran back frantically, for fear of being hit by two pieces of shrapnel.
It was precisely because of this uncovered grenade that the four of them were spared the tragic fate of other Sichuan soldiers who fell to the ground and suffered several bayonets.
Watanabe heard someone shouting to lie down, and his physiological reaction followed him to the ground, leaving only these ghost soldiers who could not understand Chinese at all and continued to stab the Chinese soldiers who fell to the ground with their knives.
Dada......
The Czech-like sound rang out from all directions, as well as the crisp crackle of the mid-formal rifle and the heavy, muffled "thump" sound of the Makqin knocking on a tin bucket with the lid of a barrel.
After seeing the devil soldiers standing around him being knocked down by the bullets fired by these gunshots, Sun Yumin realized that the reinforcements were coming, and he and the little girl would not die in this small place called Zhuzhuang.
When all the voices fell silent, someone shouted in the distance: "Is there any living here?" The living screamed, and the hand that could not be raised silently. ”
The little girl drilled around under Sun Yumin's body, wanting to stand up, but after the bloody battle, she still had the strength to toss, and after moving twice, she stopped moving, she was unwilling, and asked: "Brother, our people are shouting, why can't you get up?" ”
"You can't be reckless, the more this time, the more careful you have to be. If you let someone kill you by mistake, it's the biggest worthlessness. Sun Yumin educated Xiao Yuying, these are all experiences and lessons exchanged for blood.
"There is a living," Zhou Shanjun first stretched out a hand and raised it, the outstretched hand palm was blurred with flesh and blood, it was the hand that grabbed the bayonet. Seeing that no one was shooting, he raised his other hand again, and then slowly got up from the ground, he didn't stand up straight, he squatted on the ground with his hands raised, and he didn't stand up until more than a dozen ** soldiers ran over to ask questions.
After clearing the number of people, there were less than 20 people left who rushed down from Maozhu Slope with Sun Yumin, and nearly 300 fearless Sichuan soldiers died here, plus half a regiment of the 115th Regiment, and the small Zhuzhuang lost one and a half regiments of the 20th Division.
Zhang Xiaohu's face was pale, and he didn't speak, even if the military doctor found out that he needed to be bandaged in many places, and Sun Yumin came to visit, he was still silent.
The little girl was careful, and she whispered to Sun Yumin: "Big brother, Zhang Xiaomei seems to have a lot of resentment towards you, and you must guard against him in the future." ”
"Silly girl, don't look at a man with your woman's mentality." Although Sun Yumin vaguely felt unusual in his heart, he still chose to trust his brother.
It was the 138th Brigade of the 46th Division that relieved them. When Ma Weilong heard that Sun Yumin was at this time, he almost ran over, hugged him breathlessly, and said, "Alas, Brother Yumin, I miss my brother." ”
Old friends are naturally cordial when they see each other, especially at this critical moment, they have saved their lives, so they have to thank each other.
When everyone's attention was focused on the two of them, Watanabe, who had been lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, also heard the conversation between the two, and when he found that Sun Yumin, who was called the biggest enemy of the Imperial Army by His Excellency the division commander, was standing in front of him, his brain, which was seriously poisoned by militarism, suddenly burst into blood, aimed at Sun Yumin and fired the Taisho 14th Year pistol in his hand.
The gun went off, and the man fell. Sun Yumin felt a hard object burrow into his chest, and then stayed somewhere, pressing himself so hard that he couldn't breathe, and when he breathed hard, blood spurted from his mouth and nose. All the strength in his body seemed to be sucked away by something, and he was unsteady on his feet, and fell backwards.
This sudden situation stunned everyone, and everyone watched as he fell straight down without anyone to hold him up.
Watanabe Nakasa saw that Sun Yumin, who made Dohihara hate, was hit by himself, he jumped up excitedly, singing and laughing with his hands dancing, and the whole person went crazy with joy.
Ma Weilong was stupid, he looked at his little brother who was in the limelight on the battlefield, and was hit by a cold gun like this, and fell straight to the ground. The little girl was also scared silly, she pounced on Sun Yumin, crying uncontrollably, what didn't kill enough devils, and the oath that she couldn't cry without helping the people of the village avenge was thrown away. Li Tianxi was stunned, and suddenly sat on the ground, his mind was really completely blank, and he didn't know what to do if he lost his division commander. Zhang Xiaohu sat on the stretcher, still speechless, but he had already burst into tears, although he had a lot of resentment towards this division commander, but in fact, he had long regarded this division commander who was not much older than himself as a relative. Only Zhou Shanjun remained awake, and immediately picked up a bayonet, and a few strides rushed to the devil officer who was already frightened with joy, and the bayonet that had been blunt cut off the head of the devil officer who was carrying the rank of Zhongzuo on his shoulder, and the cruel scene made some of the younger 18th Brigade soldiers vomit.
After Liu Wenzhi received Sun Yumin's seriously injured fighting breath, his soul was frightened, and he rushed to Zhuzhuang with Dean Su and a few doctors, and then escorted Dean Su with a company of soldiers and they followed the special car to Zhengzhou.
The news of Sun Yumin's serious injuries soon spread.
Although Sun Tongxuan was very much looking forward to the return of the 20th Division to his hands, Kelanfeng fought a battle, and he really went too far, letting one division do the work of his entire group army. This matter has been poked out by Gui Yongqing and someone who is not long-sighted within himself. If something happens to Sun Yumin in this brigade, he and Shang Zhen will definitely be uncomfortable in the future. Not to mention whether Gui Yongqing will turn over or not, Chen Bui alone will definitely not give up.
Shang Zhen is the same, he regrets it incomparably now, how could he have listened to Sun Tongxuan's rhetoric at that time, if he had a long mind and sent a regiment or a brigade to quietly support the 20th Division, this great battle achievement could also be shared, in order to offset the guilt of the defeat in the Battle of Lanfeng.
After Gui Yongqing got the news, he didn't eat a drop of water and rice all day. If it weren't for this Scarface, I wouldn't know what to blame this time. The attack of Lan Feng, who was abandoned by Long Muhan, did not go well, and the people traveled a long way to capture the city, and this siege of the 14th Division was also a soldier sent by the people to ask for talents with a watch representing a life, and most of the credit was recorded in their own names, but they were seriously injured.
When Chen Bui got the news, he almost didn't believe his eyes, and asked the secretary to send the message to the chairman's office, and he drove home, he didn't know what kind of reaction Li'er would have if she knew about it, he had to accompany her, and he couldn't let her hear the middle wind.
Lao Jiang pinched the telegram for a long time and didn't speak, and finally said in front of Lin Wei: "Lan Feng's first battle, if it weren't for this person to save the face of the Central Army, how would I face the people of the world, how would I face Li, Yan and others." What a jealous talent! If I have ten Sun Yumin in my hands, the land of small Japan, how dare I go to the land of China to do wrong. Let Zhengzhou send the best doctors to escort them to Wuhan for treatment. Give me the best medicine, use the best medical conditions. ”
In this battle, the 20th Division suffered heavy losses, and not only the division commander was seriously wounded, but also lived and died. There were more than 20,000 officers and soldiers in the division, and less than 8,000 after the war; The 46th Division was no better, with one brigade commander killed and one seriously wounded, and the troops were reduced by 50 percent. After all, Gui Yongqing thought that his veins were too deeply damaged in this battle, and he basically lost the capital to wrestle with others.
When the Military Commission summed up the battle after the battle, Gui Yongqing really felt the desolation. Fortunately, half of the credit for the battle of Sanyi Village was given to him, otherwise no one really knows what would have happened.
The day after Sun Yumin was rushed to the hospital for treatment, the Japanese 16th Division captured Qixian, Tongxu, and Chenliu, and Wang Jinzai, the commander of the newly formed 5th Division, gave up Lanfeng. On June 4, the Japanese 14th Division, which had been heavily damaged by Sun Yumin, re-crossed the Yellow River, occupied Lanfeng on the same day, and then continued its attack on Kaifeng. On the night of June 5, the Japanese attacked the city from the northwest corner. At about 1 o'clock in the morning of the 6th, Song Kentang led the 141st Division defending Kaifeng to retreat, and Kaifeng was lost. At this time, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army had occupied Weishi and Fugou, and the 10th Division had occupied Zhecheng. Xue Yue called Shang Zhen: "Song Shi withdrew from Kaifeng without authorization, and ordered to stick to the line from Zhongmu County to Zhongmu Station...... Those who dare to retreat without authorization without being ordered to do so will be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law. But in fact, because some high-ranking officers were afraid of death or incompetent, there were many people who retreated and fled without permission during the battle in eastern Henan. If it belongs to the 9th Division of the 187th Army Corps of the main army, "the regiment commander Zhang Dingguang retreated without authorization when he was defending Zhupigang in Qi County in June; Zhang Shumin, chief of staff of the division, repeatedly instigated retreat, and dared to abandon his post and abscond; Brigade Commander Xie Xizhen first withdrew from Zhupigang, and without reporting to the division commander, even under the pretext of containment, he took a car south; Ye Geng, the brigade commander, suddenly disappeared during the battle of Sui County, and later heard that he had changed his service and went to Hankou. ”
The westward advance of the 14th and 16th Divisions of the Japanese Army seriously threatened the security of Zhengzhou and Pinghan Road, where the headquarters of the commander of the First Theater was located. At that time, although the First Theater had hundreds of thousands of troops with nearly 0 divisions, and most of them were the so-called main forces of the central lineage, it could not resist the westward advance of the Japanese army's many divisions. After synthesizing the opinions of all parties, Lao Chiang decided to break the embankment of the Yellow River and create a water barrier to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward. His assertion was not improvised. As early as July 197, his chief German adviser, Falkenhausen, had advised him to "break the Yellow River" in order to stop the Japanese army. On April 1, 198, when the pursuit force of the squadron on the Taierzhuang battlefield attacked the defeated Japanese army near Yi County, Chen Guofu sent a letter to Lao Jiang, preparing to break the north embankment of the Yellow River near the mouth of the Qin River in Wuzhi County, Henan. But he suggested countermeasures for the sake of "fearing the enemy and breaking the embankment to restrain me." He said: "The north bank of the Yellow River near the Qin River is low, so if the embankment breaks on any place on the downstream bank, it is only necessary to break the north embankment near the Qin River, and all the yellow water can go north to Zhangwei. Lao Jiang instructed: "Telegraph to Chief Cheng to verify the office." After the loss of Xuzhou, Yao Cong and others advocated breaking the embankment in Henan Tongwabox, restoring the old road before the Qing Xianfeng 5 years (1855), so that the Yellow River water entered the sea through Xuzhou and Huaiyin to the north. Chen Cheng and his subordinates suggested that executions should be carried out at Heigangkou, the south embankment of the Yellow River. When the Japanese army occupied Sui County on June 1 and approached Lanfeng and Qi counties, Cheng Qian, commander of the First Theater of Operations, immediately decided to break the embankment, and asked the old Jiang for instructions through Chen Bui, the director of the chamberlain, and obtained Chiang's verbal consent. However, Cheng Qian and others were well aware of the serious consequences of this move, and they asked for instructions by formal telegram, and only began to implement it after Jiang Yi's telegram was approved. The First Theater convened a meeting of the Yellow River Water Conservancy Committee and military and political personnel related to river defense to study the location of the embankment, and finally chose Zhaokou in Zhongmu County. He then ordered the 0th Group Army to be responsible for digging an embankment and releasing water at 1 o'clock on the night of June 4, and at the same time moved the headquarters of the commander of the First Theater to Luoyang. Shang Zhen ordered the construction of 1 regiment of Wan Fulin's 5th Army. By the morning of June 5, it had not been completed due to the terrain. Lao Jiang ordered Shang Zhen to "strictly supervise the implementation" on the phone. Shang Zhen took Wei Rulin, chief of the staff office, to supervise the work, and sent one regiment of Liu Heding's 9th Army to assist, and ordered the engineers to use explosives to blow up the inclined stone foundation in the embankment. At 8 p.m., the water was released due to the collapse of the gap, and the waterway was blocked, but it was unsuccessful. On June 6, the gap was dug again, but it still failed. The General Headquarters and the First Theater of Operations were "extremely anxious about this, and they would inquire about the situation of the breach three or four times a day." Shang Zhen also ordered the new 8th Division, which had just blasted the Yellow River Iron Bridge, to send one additional regiment. After observation, the commander of the division, Jiang Zaizhen, suggested that the embankment should be broken at the mouth of the garden instead. Chiang Kai-shek and Cheng Qian gave their approval.
On June 6, Sun Yumin, who had been in a coma for four days and four nights, suddenly began to say nonsense: "You can't blow up the Yellow River embankment, you can't!" The memory hidden in the depths of his mind made him repeat this sentence over and over again.
The little girl who had been guarding her heard his first words in her sleep for so many days, and instantly burst into tears, and she ran out of the ward screaming: "The doctor is coming, my brother is talking." ”
The news of Lanfeng's defeat soon spread throughout the country, and the people of the country were accustomed to the repeated defeats of the country, but a short paragraph attached to this news caused countless concerns: General Sun Yumin, commander of the 20th Division of the 12th Army of the Third Army, fought bravely on the Lanfeng front line and was seriously wounded! He has been rushed to Wuhan Military Hospital for treatment, and is currently in a poor condition.
