Chapter 108 Tianjia Town is in an emergency

After the fall of Meichuan City, Chiang Kai-shek dismissed Li Pinxian from his post as soon as possible, and at the same time telegraphed all the troops to obey Bai Chongxi's orders, and the troops in the Guangji area began to resist the Japanese army again.

Late on the night of the 6th, Bai Chongxi held the first military meeting and decided to counterattack Meichuan City.

Inaba Shiro began to worry that the Ushijima detachment in Umegawa Castle would be surrounded and annihilated, so he mobilized the Imamura detachment to march from the riverside to Tianjia Town, in an attempt to use the technique of encircling Wei to save Zhao.

The defenders to the north of Tianjia Town were Li Yannian's 11th Army, which had the 2nd Army and the 54th Army under its jurisdiction.

The strength of an army was suddenly transferred, and the strength of Guangji was a little insufficient, so the 26th Army and the 67th Army, which were protecting Tianjiazhai, were transferred to the vicinity of Meichuan to prepare for a counterattack on Meichuan.

Bai Chongxi can cry Li Yannian at this time, but he can't directly question Bai Chongxi, now Bai Chongxi is acting as the chief of staff as the commander of the Fifth Theater, and he can only actively deploy to prevent the Japanese army from raiding.

Inaba saw that this was to give himself a chance, but before he could make a move, Bai Chongxi began a full-scale counterattack on the 8th.

"The division headquarters called and asked us to go to Lishan to block the Japanese army advancing westward."

Zhang Ziwen was not happy with this call, and now he remembered whether it was too late to counterattack Guangji, the city is an important node of defense, and it is much more difficult to attack the city than to defend the city, so he has to wait until the city falls before attacking the city.

"Dispatch the departments, set off in half an hour, and arrive at Lishan before lunch."

Along with Zhang Ziwen, Zhao Xu also received the order, and Bai Chongxi's order division asked the 103rd Division to form a defensive line east of Meichuan to block the Japanese army's western reinforcement and prevent the enemy in Meichuan from fleeing eastward.

Bai Chongxi did not attack Meichuan with great fanfare, but used the housekeeping tactics of Zaixuzhou to lure the enemy deep and gather to encircle and annihilate.

In addition to defending the original positions, Bai Chongxi transferred three divisions in the Guangji area to attack and harass the Japanese army, and at the same time transferred the 31st Army to lure the enemy north.

Zhang Ziwen guarded Maoli Jian for six days, and Meichuan City did not move. He sent three telegrams a day to He Shaozhou asking about the counterattack on Meichuan, but He Shaozhou no longer replied to his telegrams. When he got the news that the 31st Army lured the enemy deep and surrounded and annihilated more than 5,000 Japanese troops in the Taihu Lake area, he sent it to Zhang Ziwen as soon as possible.

"Battalion commander, great success"

Rao Xiangyun was so excited that he was almost speechless, except for the victory in Taierzhuang, there was no such brilliant record, destroying more than 5,000 enemies, and his own casualties were only more than 3,000.

"Hurry up and call the others over, a rare victory, if it weren't for the mission, I would have a big bowl."

At the beginning, Taierzhuang was victorious, because it was not deep in it, so it could not be understood.

"Report to the battalion commander, someone from outside has brought ammunition over, saying that the soldiers of our independent battalion."

Zhang Ziwen was discussing this great victory with everyone, and was interrupted when he was happy.

"Oh, bring it in."

"Stone, you are stone."

Ma Xiaobao was the first to react, there were not a few veterans of the Ninth Company who survived, except for the three of them, there were only Dali, Zhang Qing and the stones in front of him.

Shi has been doing rehabilitation because of his injury, and Zhang Ziwen sent someone to Hankou to see him on the way to Macheng, but it was still a little inconvenient at that time, so he didn't bring it.

"Double happiness is coming today, it's rare."

Zhang Ziwen went up to give Shi a big hug, he was far inferior to Ma Xiaobao and others in terms of feelings, but Shi Shi was always one of the few veterans of the Ninth Company.

"How's the wound?"

"You see, the good couldn't be better."

The stone smacked hard against his original wound, proving that there was no problem.

"How did you get here, it's all devils all the way."

"That's ......"

Shi Shi met Wu Yongqing in Hankou after recovering, and when he went to Yuanmu with Zhang Ziwen, he saw a fat officer and looked at it twice, and he wrote it down.

As soon as he met Wu Yongqing, he asked him about the current location of the 103rd Division, and it happened that Zhang Ziwen went to buy ammunition at that time, and Wu Yongqing sent someone to send ammunition by the way.

"Forget about business, Rao Xiangyun, you can give me some ammunition to count, this dead fat man is a profiteer, and he lost a thousand rounds of ammunition last time."

Ma Xiaobao's appearance as a landlord's wife attracted everyone's laughter, but he paid more attention to the lack of ammunition, and he wanted to go out after Rao Xiangyun went out.

"Battalion deputy, don't go, that's right, I've given it all."

The battalion deputy of the stone made everyone stunned, and they usually call Xiaobao documents.

"Well, I was wrong?"

"That's right, now your brother Bao is the lieutenant of the captain's battalion."

Ma Xiaobao found someone who could make him tremble, and suddenly returned to the appearance of the original Jiulian paperwork.

Zhang Ziwen is thinking about how to arrange the stones, and now everyone knows the system of independent battalions. Stone's current situation is not as good as a recruit, except for his military age.

"Brother Wen, did you say?"

Ma Xiaobao suddenly asked Zhang Ziwen, Zhang Ziwen didn't know what he was asking at all, so he could only answer yes.

"You talk, Rao Xiangyun, come out for a while."

After Ma Xiaobao met the stone, he had endless words, and even the stuffy gourd with great strength was also laughing, and the old pole was also smiling.

"You've heard about the stone for so long and you know it, what vacancies are there in the camp for him now?"

Rao Xiangyun hurriedly opened the notebook, checked it for a long time and shook his head at Zhang Ziwen, Zhang Ziwen frowned.

"The battalion commander is back."

Shi greeted warmly, which made Zhang Ziwen even more embarrassed, at least some of the veterans of the 613 regiment also became sergeants, only Shi wore an old military uniform and hung the rank of a private.

"Stone, how about you come to be the leader of my guard squad."

Zhang Ziwen thought about it and interrupted the conversation of several people, after the sacrifice of the pillar, Zhang Ziwen only used Wen Zhijun as a guard for a period of time, because it was not in tune, Zhang Ziwen transferred him back to the teaching team in the name of training.

"Battalion commander, I heard Xiaobao and them say, now the independent battalion is more particular than the Ninth Company, I am illiterate or I should be a soldier first."

The words of the stone were like a stone pressing down on Zhang Ziwen, the old Jiulian was the last thing Zhang Ziwen wanted to mention, and now that the literacy of the independent battalion has become a basic requirement, the stone took the initiative to refuse, Zhang Ziwen didn't want to say anything, but he felt sorry for the stone.

"Look at this, you are just illiterate in stone, and now there is a shortage of personnel, you first become a guard for Brother Wen, and then become a guard squad leader when you are literate to supplement the soldiers, how about it."

Ma Xiaobao relieved Zhang Ziwen, and this method solved the problem.

"That's it, you won't disobey my orders, will you?"

"Report!"

Before the stone could answer, it was interrupted by a report that it was Rapoo who came in.

"The division headquarters called, the Japanese Hatian detachment and the division united to capture the wharf town, the Imamura detachment advanced along the Matsuyama Pass Tianjia Town, and the Tianjia Town fortress was in an emergency. The headquarters asked our 103rd Division to support Tianjia Town on the flank, and the division headquarters ordered our battalion to immediately move out and go to Dajin Town with the 3rd Battalion of the 618th Regiment as the vanguard. ”

Zhang Ziwen immediately rushed to the map and looked at it for two minutes before asking Rapoo to call back.

"Call back to the division headquarters, our battalion will start in an hour and go to support Dajin Town. Ma Xiaobao, the whole camp immediately pulled out the camp. ”

On the 14th, the Japanese army attacked Wharf Town with the strength of a division of the Marina Detachment, a Taiwanese unit of the Potian Detachment, and a division of the Marine Corps Non-commissioned Division. Under the strategy of the Imamura detachment, they could attack the north and south of the fortress of Tianjiazhen at the same time, and if Tianjiazhen fell, the Japanese navy could support the army on the Yangtze River, and the battle would only be more difficult to fight.
