Chi Chengfeng, commander of the 31st Division, listened to the sound of gunfire less than two miles away, and felt that his heart really hurt like a knife. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

joined the army at the age of sixteen, and he also broke through the sea of corpses, but it was the first time that he fought so fiercely.

His own division has been guarding Taierzhuang for seven days, but in the past seven days, there are less than 2,000 people who can fight in a division of more than 10,000 people.

He couldn't remember how many death squads he had organized, and at first he gave the order, but after those death squads of hundreds of people rushed up, very few returned.

Then he changed it to a heavy recruitment to let the soldiers sign up automatically, but the death squads of hundreds of people rushed up and came back.

The soldiers were covered with grenades, and with broadswords and desperate expressions, they went into battle without hesitation.

The Japanese army and their own side actually adopted the method of attacking against attacking, but neither side dared to rush into the streets and alleys, because they were all houses, and there were too many ambushes in the hideouts of both sides, and there was only one consequence of daring to appear in the relatively open streets and alleys, that is, being killed by the other side with machine guns.

Battles were all about grenades and grenades after holes were carved in the walls of the houses, or simply hand-to-hand fights were carried out, sometimes without even having time to fire a gun.

Their own soldiers fought with the Japanese army house by house, and sometimes dozens of soldiers' lives were paid in order to seize a courtyard.

The firepower of the Japanese was still too strong, and the close-range fire of the grenadiers caused huge losses to their divisions.

Three of the four regiment commanders were killed or wounded, all battalion commanders were killed, and all company and platoon commanders were replaced.

The sacrifice was so great, but the Japanese army still captured three-quarters of the houses in Taierzhuang, and even got news from the group army that the Japanese army had announced in their newspapers that the troops of the Japanese Empire had occupied Taierzhuang.

I finally couldn't stand it anymore, so I called the group army headquarters and asked to withdraw to the south bank of the canal to defend, I was the main division of the group army, and asked the old commander of the headquarters to leave some seeds for the 31st division.

But the harsh words of the old commander of the headquarters on the phone were still in his ears: "The soldiers have run out, you go forward and fill it in yourself, you have filled it in, I will fill it in you, whoever dares to retreat through the canal will be killed!" “

Military orders cannot be violated!

Since he has embarked on the road of a soldier, he must realize that there will always be a day of no return, at this time, does he have any other choice? No!

So, he had already given the order to blow up the canal pontoon.

The explosion of the pontoon bridge is the same for every living person in the whole division, and there is no third choice for fighting against the water, either killing and taking righteousness, or leaving it to death and resurrecting.

At this time, with a "report", his deputy chief of staff walked in.

"Division commander, that company of the wartime quartermaster department of the Central Army has been waiting outside the door for more than an hour." At this time, his deputy chief of staff reported to him in a low voice.

Chi Chengfeng glanced at his deputy chief of staff in surprise, rubbed his swollen temples, and said: "It's a coincidence that they came here before the pontoon bridge was blown up, it seems that their determination to think about it is quite resolute." “

"What's the name of that company commander of theirs?" Chi Chengfeng asked.

"Huo Xiaoshan." The deputy chief of staff replied.

"Oh, tell him in." Chi Chengfeng decided to meet this company commander who did not belong to his Northwest Army, although it was a little strange for him to see a company commander wearing a soldier's uniform that time, but he didn't know and couldn't know that Huo Xiaoshan was not the company commander, and the internal name of the quartermaster department was "Chief"

He still had an impression of that Huo Xiaoshan, after all, when the Chinese army was losing and retreating, such a junior officer with a lot of ability to fight devils suddenly appeared, and everyone would pay attention to it.

He also remembered saying to his deputy chief of staff that good steel should be used on the blade, and that was what he really cherished.

But he himself knew that he did not plan to use a company outside his own formation, and as a division commander who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, he did not think that this company would be of much help to him.

What's more, I still have the honor of a soldier and the pride of my own Northwest Army, what is the matter with me using you as a logistics company of the Central Army that was not dispatched from the top, no matter how well you fight, I can't afford to lose that person.

But now that they arrived before the canal pontoon bridge was bombed, whether he sent them to fight or not, they were destined to fight the Japanese army, so it was reasonable to see each other again, this was his true idea at this time.

With a "report", the deputy chief of staff walked in with the ordinary-looking soldier he remembered.

Chi Chengfeng looked at the company commander in front of him wearing a soldier's uniform, examined it, and said directly: "Do you really want to fight devils?" Give me a reason. “

Huo Xiaoshan They have indeed been waiting outside for more than an hour, and they have asked the guards of the 31st Division to report it, and they must wait in place, there is nothing to say about this, because it can be seen that the division headquarters of the 31st Army is really busy, although the people in their quartermaster department want to fight devils, but they must not hinder military affairs.

I saw that there were constantly hurried officers entering and exiting the gate of the division headquarters, and the sound of gunfire was clearly heard in my ears.

With the experience of his veterans, Huo Xiaoshan could judge from the sound of gunfire that the headquarters of the 31st Division was only about two miles away from the forward position, which showed the tension of the war. Fortunately, this time their division commander really saw him, and it seems that there is a play.

After entering the house, he saw that the division commander of the Northwest Army had bloodshot eyes, and the stubble he obviously hadn't shaved off gave him a sense of déjà vu.

This division commander even asked himself for a reason to fight devils, do you still need a reason to fight devils? In Huo Xiaoshan's eyes, there has never been such a thing as a high authority, so Chi Chengfeng's gaze and questioning will not put any pressure on him, and of course he will not have any impolite behavior.

So, he calmly met Chi Chengfeng's gaze, and then said what he thought in his heart: "Sir, do you still need a reason to fight devils?" ”

Chi Chengfeng was stunned, he didn't expect Huo Xiaoshan to answer like this, this was the first conversation between him and the company commander of the quartermaster department, last time he just saluted them and said a word before letting them go.

"You don't need a reason to fight devils, but our Northwest Army needs a reason, we are not the Gui Army or the Sichuan Army, why should we accept your help from the Central Army?" Chi Chengfeng didn't have time to go around in circles, and when he got to his position, he didn't need to beat around the bush with a junior officer.

Huo Xiaoshan looked at Chi Chengfeng's sharp gaze, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he knew that the war was very tense, and a division commander didn't have time to talk nonsense here, so he said: "I am also half of the Northwest Army, can this be regarded as a reason?" ”

"Half of the Northwest Army? What do you mean? Chi Chengfeng was very surprised, what is this called, but then Huo Xiaoshan's next sentence shocked him, because what Huo Xiaoshan said was: "My father Huo Yuan." ”

Chi Chengfeng stood up suddenly, he didn't even realize that he had stood up, he leaned down, pressed his hands on the table, and just stared at this thin soldier with his eyes.

When the officers and staff officers in his division headquarters heard Huo Xiaoshan's words, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing and looked at Huo Xiaoshan.

"Say it again!" Chi Chengfeng, who stood up, didn't believe his ears a little, did he hear it wrong?!

And the young soldier in front of him still said calmly: "Father Huo Yuan, avenging my father, is this reason acceptable to the Northwest Army?" (To be continued.) )
