0401 What is tragic

Wang Liang recalled: "Later, I learned about the whole process of the martyrdom of Commander Wang Lin from the wounded who were withdrawn from the 740 Regiment. ”

After the Japanese army surrounded Tengxian, Dongguan, which was garrisoned by Wang Lin's 740th Regiment, naturally became the focus of the Japanese attack.

Dongguan is a polder village immediately adjacent to the east gate of Tengxian County.

It was originally held by Yan Yiying of the 122nd Division.

Yan Yi's battalion repelled many fierce attacks by the Japanese army, and the whole battalion suffered heavy casualties, and the battalion commander was seriously injured.

Later, General Wang Mingzhang had to transfer Wang Lin's 740 Regiment over and replace Yan Yi's battalion to guard Dongguan.

That night, after Wang Lin took over Dongguan, he left one battalion as a reserve, and the other two battalions were deployed at the forefront of the Dongguan position.

In the early morning, the Japanese army launched an attack on Dongguan with all their might.

The bombardment and shelling lasted for a full hour, and Dongguan was almost flat, all the fortifications were destroyed, and even the walls were uprooted.

The Japanese army opened the way with 10 tanks and covered 500 devil soldiers to attack Dongguan from different directions at the same time, and the entire Dongguan was immediately plunged into a melee of blood and fire.

The battle was fought from early morning until dawn.

A morning of fierce fighting has repelled many waves of repeated attacks by the Japanese army.

The regimental reserve and the heavy machine gun company temporarily attached to the division were all brought to the front line.

When the battle was fierce, all the commanders of the regimental headquarters commanded at the front in sections.

At this time, the regiment commander Wang Lin was already wounded, with a bandage on his head and a submachine gun in his hand to supervise the battle.

The regimental command post is located in the East Gate Gate Cave.

Just after twelve o'clock in the morning, the fierce attack of the Japanese army began again.

The Japanese artillery fire directly pointed at the east gate city wall of Teng County, the east city tower has been blown down by shells, the city wall is full of ravines, bricks and mud continue to fall, and the city gate hole is also collapsing.

Wang Lin saw that the city gate cave had become a dangerous place, and planned to transfer the regiment command post.

And at this time, Lei Xun, the battalion commander who was commanding the operation at the forefront, ran desperately from the constantly rising explosion smoke and reported: "Regiment commander, our ammunition has been used up, the brothers have all been killed, and there are less than ten people left in my battalion, and the position has been occupied by the Japanese army. ”

"What about the military medic who is attached? Command to rescue the wounded immediately! Wang Lin was heartbroken when he heard that the soldiers who had gone out of Sichuan with him had suffered such heavy casualties.

"The regiment commander, the regimental medical chief of the regiment, Medical Officer Wang, was also killed." Battalion commander Lei Xun said it almost with a crying voice.

"Little Japanese devil of dog day, labor and management have fought with you. Immediately order all personnel such as cooking, communications, etc. at the regimental headquarters to take up weapons and follow behind the guard platoon of our regiment! After speaking, Wang Lin picked up his submachine gun and rushed forward.

The original regimental guard company has been reduced into a guard platoon.

It is said that it is a guard platoon, but in fact there is only one squad of guards.

In this way, under the leadership of the regiment commander Wang Lin, nearly 50 soldiers of the Sichuan Army charged at the risk of constantly falling shells.

Swear to retake your position.

Boom –

didn't run far, He Xuanrong, the deputy commander of the lieutenant colonel who was running at the front, suddenly felt the ground under his feet vibrate violently, only to see a flash of fire in front of him, and a stream of hot gas swept over his face, and he seemed to be held up by a pair of invisible big hands and fell out heavily.

As soon as He Xuanrong's eyes darkened, he completely lost all feelings.

When He Xuanrong suddenly woke up from his coma, he realized that he had just been hit by a cannonball.

He Xuanrong turned over and got up hard, and asked the guards on the side, "Where is the regiment commander?" ”

The guard was spitting blood from his mouth, and he couldn't say a word, only to see his finger pointing not far away.

He Xuanrong, who couldn't stand and walk, crawled over with a rolling belt, pushed away a few guards around there, and saw that the regiment commander Wang Lin was already lying upright on the ground.

His entire body was soaked in blood, and a piece of shrapnel passed through his jaw, shattering his entire jaw.

The guards were leaning over Wang Lin's body, blocking Wang Lin's wound with a tattered military uniform covered with Yunnan Baiyao.

Blood bubbles kept pouring out of the blood hole, and Wang Lin was already unconscious, only breathing out but not in.

Look at the major political trainer Hu Qingxi who fell next to him.

Hu Qingxi had been blown up to the point of flesh and blood, and he was martyred on the spot.

He Xuanrong, the deputy head of the regiment, hurriedly called a few guards, lifted Wang Lin, and went straight to the general headquarters to rescue.

But before Wang Lin returned to the general headquarters, he had already lost his breath, and he was thirty or six years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wang Lin, commander of the 740th Regiment of the 124th Division, was killed in Dongguan, and the Japanese army captured Dongguan outside the east gate of the county and the southern city wall of the county.

Wang Liang knew too well what this meant, at this point, our army's ammunition was exhausted, the reinforcements were exhausted, and the Tengxian defenders were at the last moment of life and death.

"Captain Wang, you have also seen the current situation. I am grateful to you for providing weapons and equipment for our Sichuan army and for assisting us in our war. While the devil hasn't been retracted yet, hurry up and break through with your overseer team. Wang Mingzhang continued: "Don't worry, my son of the Sichuan army swears to live and die with Teng County." ”

"Commander, you just look down on me Wang Liang. My 400 brothers and I are willing to work with the Sichuan Army Brotherhood to defend Teng County. Wang Liang said.

"Good! When the battle is over, if you can survive, I will invite you to drink, and we will say goodbye brothers! Wang Mingzhang laughed.

At this point, unlike the situation of other supervision teams, the supervision team commanded by Wang Liang and the soldiers of the Sichuan army became one.

Dada-

Bang bang -

The Japanese troops occupying Dongguan immediately launched a fierce attack on the East City Gate after a short period of rectification.

At the same time, the enemy occupying the southern wall also captured the southeast corner of the city wall with heavy fire and charge, and continued to approach north on the city wall to capture the east tower.

Wang Mingzhang asked the staff officer: "What's the situation over there in Dongcheng Tower?" ”

The staff officer replied: "Most of the defenders in the southern half of my east city wall are dead and wounded, and they cannot support it, and the rest retreat to the position of the east gate tower and use the broken fortifications to hold on. ”

"Defending the East City Gate is the Wu Zhongmin Battalion of the 727th Regiment, right?"

"Yes, the division commander, the commander of the city defense, Regiment Commander Zhang Xuanwu, and the brigade commander Wang Zhiyuan are all supervising the battle in Dongcheng."

"Pick me up Wang Zhiyuan from the East City Gate."

It took a long time to get through the phone, and the other end was intermittent, only to hear Wang Zhiyuan say: "Division commander, the attacking devils used artillery fire to bombard the city tower that had already collapsed, and the remaining wood on the city tower ignited a fire in the explosion of incendiary bombs, and the city gate hole was completely open under the continuous blows of flat artillery fire. Regardless of the casualties, the attacking Japanese army repeatedly charged towards the east city gate in waves with a steady stream of troops, and some devils climbed the city wall and jumped into the city, and a brutal street battle began in the area of the east city gate. But don't worry, as long as I, Wang Zhiyuan, am here, don't even think about passing through the East City Gate! ”

After a long time, Wang Mingzhang said the word "good", and the phone was interrupted.
