Just when the soldiers of the Independent Brigade gathered their troops and rushed towards the area around Tengxian County and Weishan Lake, there was a raging war in Tengxian County at this time.

Countless little devils outside the city are constantly attacking the inner city under the call of the officers, and the little devils have taken down the city wall of Teng County, but there is no Gong Rui in the city for the time being.

However, in the eyes of the little devil, it is easy to exterminate these diehards in the city and completely take down Teng County!

It is precisely because of this idea that the little devil no longer cares about any losses, and only wants to take Teng County as quickly as possible!

Under such circumstances, the soldiers of the Sichuan army naturally fought very hard. However, fortunately, the soldiers of the Sichuan army relied on the good geographical location of the streets and alleys of the inner city and the city gate to fight to the death with the little devil, but it brought great casualties to the Japanese army, making it difficult for the little devil to move an inch in a short time.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these are temporary!

It won't be long before Tengxian County falls, and if the 122nd Division does not break through, it is only a matter of time before the entire army is annihilated!

At this extremely urgent moment, at this time in the headquarters of the 122nd Division in the city, the atmosphere was frozen to the extreme, and the ears listened to the rumbling artillery not far outside, and the chaotic gunfire that seemed to have never stopped, and everyone's faces were ugly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me what you think! What should we do? Looking at the frozen atmosphere, no one was the first to speak, and the division commander Wang Mingzhang couldn't help but be the first to speak.

As soon as Wang Mingzhang's words came out, the frozen atmosphere was immediately broken, and a regiment commander stood up and said: "After statistics, there are only about 3,000 people left in the various troops that can still be commanded in the city, and among these 3,000 people, there are also the Teng County police and the local security regiment, the combat effectiveness is not high, plus the injured, among them, there are less than 2,000 people who can participate in the battle!" ”

Hearing this number, even the officers present knew it in their hearts, but when they said it, their faces were still a little ugly.

Wang Mingzhang said: "This is the case, you all know it in your hearts, this time I called you over, just to discuss it together and study the issue of strategic decision-making!" At this juncture, you don't have to worry about anything, just say whatever you want and express your opinions! ”

Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The entire command headquarters was silent for a moment before an officer stood up and said, "There are less than two thousand soldiers who can participate in the battle, and if you want to resist the well-equipped little devils, even if you rely on Teng County to defend it, it is simply impossible!" ”

"Master, it's not that we're afraid of death, but that we only have this little person left, if we defend the city, we will guard it for a day at most! Instead of sticking here, it's better to break through and fight outside the city! ”

"Yes, Master! According to the city's stubborn defense, this is a dead end! ”

Hearing that someone was the first to stand up and make a statement, the others present also spoke one after another.

"Okay, what's the noise!" At this time, the head of the regiment, Zhang Xuanwu, stood up and said: "Teng County is absolutely defended, and no matter what, we can't let him be thrown away from us!" Since we are stationed in Teng County, we must stick to it, even if we live and die with Teng County, we must persevere! ”

After saying this, Zhang Xuanwu looked at Wang Mingzhang again and said: "Master, I know that you have a plan in your heart, you might as well say it, no matter what the decision is, I will follow you!" Even if they die in Teng County, the brothers have no regrets! ”

"Yes, Master, you can make up your mind! Whatever the determination, the brothers will listen to you! ”

Looking at their statement, Wang Mingzhang's lips moved, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he sighed and said: "Brothers, I took you out of the Sichuan War of Resistance, and now there are so many dead and wounded, I don't know if you hate me or not, but I have to pay responsibility to you and the soldiers of the Sichuan army for any decision I make, it is certainly my idea to defend Teng County, but I also have to think about it for you!" ”

Wang Mingzhang said: "I will call the commander-in-chief of the group army now and ask him for his opinion, if he asks us to defend Teng County, then I will make up my mind and take you to defend Teng County, even if the brothers are dead and the whole army is wiped out, I have no regrets, and I hope that the brothers will not blame me!" But if things take a turn for the better, then I'm going to get you out even if I do my best! Although our Sichuan army is not a bad seed, it can't all die here, at least we must leave a little fire for our 122nd Division! ”

After speaking, Wang Mingzhang directly made a phone call to Sun Zhen of the 22nd Group Army, and the phone was quickly connected, Wang Mingzhang reported the situation to Sun Zhen on the phone, and after listening to Wang Mingzhang's words, the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I know what you think!" I also know that you can't bear to let your brothers die in Teng County, although they are all your subordinates, they are also the children of the Sichuan Army, and they are also the children of the Republic of China! Born in Sichuan and fighting in Teng County, our Sichuan soldiers are good wherever they go! ”

"Chairman Jiang wants us to defend the county seat of Tengxian County, and when the siege of Tang Enbo's corps is lifted, Tang Enbo's vanguard has arrived in Lincheng, and I will urge them to hurry north now, but you must ensure the safety of the county seat of Tengxian and wait for reinforcements!"

"I said, the soldiers of the Sichuan army are not bad breeds no matter where they go, you move the headquarters into the inner city to command and defend the city, if the troops are not enough, I will let the 41st Army directly under me break through to support you!"

Hearing Sun Zhen's words, Wang Mingzhang was moved to tears, and he couldn't do more.

Although Sun Zhen did not give him an exact reply to this phone call, when Sun Zhen said that 'the soldiers of the Sichuan Army are not bad breeds no matter where they go', Wang Mingzhang already knew Sun Zhen's thoughts, and when he heard Sun Zhen say that he would send the 41st Army to Teng County, Wang Mingzhang was even more moved.

The 41st Army is Sun Zhen's family, and in order to support the Anti-Japanese War in Teng County, Sun Zhen can even send the 41st Army in, what does this mean? This shows that Sun Zhen is ready to fight all his family resources for the War of Resistance, so what else can he hesitate about?

Thinking of this, Wang Mingzhang said categorically: "Commander, with your words, I am relieved!" Rest assured! My 122nd Division will definitely defend Teng County and swear to live and die with Teng County! If Teng County is there, my Wang Mingzhang is here, and if Teng County is dead, my Wang Mingzhang is dead! ”

Wang Mingzhang's words carried an indomitable faith, and as soon as these words came out, no one doubted the determination contained in his words.

For a moment, everyone present only felt a sense of determination to die, the desolation and slaughter of the horse leather shroud!
