On the morning of 10 October, the situation in the Yuanping garrison deteriorated further. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The brigade commander Seiichiro Shinohara saw that he could not take the position for a long time, so he also threw the engineer wing as a reserve into battle, and with the addition of the new force, the battlefield became even more tragic, and the sacrifice of the 196th Brigade was even greater.

At this time, almost everyone in the Japanese army was elite, the combat quality was very high, and the strength was seven or eight times that of the 196, and by noon, the defenders of the 196 Brigade had been divided and surrounded by the Japanese army in several courtyards, and they had to pay great sacrifices every time they survived for a period of time.

As soon as the Japanese army stopped attacking to catch its breath, some officers and soldiers said to Jiang Yuzhen: "Brigade seat, why don't we break through!" Commander Yan ordered us to hold out for seven days, but seven days followed by three days, and now it has reached the tenth day. It's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, it's just that we have to leave seeds for the troops! ”

Jiang Yuzhen did not waver at all, he solemnly said: "With our weak armed forces to resist several times stronger enemies, sacrifice is inevitable. However, where is the country broken, the motherland is so weak, I, Jiang Yuzhen, am determined to promise the country with my body, this is the glory and fate that Jiang Yuzhen dreams of, you can go if you want, I am destined to live and die with Yuanping. ”

In Jiang Yuzhen's righteous and awe-inspiring words, the surviving officers and soldiers, under his inspiration, resolutely decided to die with the brigade. China's armed forces have always been like this, as long as the commander dares to die, there will never be a single mischief in the army.

Jiang Yuzhen expressed her determination and sent a farewell message to Yan Laoxi, which shocked Yan Laoxi. Then he thought that the instructor of the Eighth Route Army was about to reinforce the plain, and hurriedly called the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to inquire about the location of the instructor.

When he learned that the instructor was only thirty miles away from Yuanping, Yan Laoxi hurriedly sent a telegram to Jiang Yuzhen and ordered him to hold on until the evening, and reinforcements were about to arrive.

Yan Laoxi's telegram undoubtedly gave the 196th Brigade a shot in the arm in the desperate situation, burst out with a stronger fighting spirit, and repelled the Japanese attack again.

Three hours later, Zhang Cheng led more than 20,000 people from the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade to Loubanzhai Township, which was only a line away from the original Pingcheng.

Looking at the flaming Yuan Pingcheng, Zhang Cheng's mind turned a thousand times, thinking that although Yuan Pingcheng was in danger, the officers and soldiers of Jiang Yuzhen's brigade were also waiting for his troops to come to the rescue. However, under the condition that the Japanese army has aircraft reinforcements at any time, if they go to rescue Jiang Yuzhen's brigade in broad daylight, not only will their own troops face bombing by Japanese planes, but also whether they can rescue Jiang Yuzhen's brigade is also a matter of two things.

Zhang Cheng remembered that in the battle of Yuanping in history, Jiang Yuzhen's brigade insisted on breaking through until the 11th, after completing Yan Laoxi's order to hold on for three days, and now it is only the afternoon of the 10th.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng already had a plan in his heart, so he called all the cadres above the regimental level of the first brigade and the second brigade to his side and said: "Although the situation in Yuanping is critical, I judge that Jiang Yuzhen's brigade can still hold out until the evening. During the day, the Japanese had planes to help, which was not good for our troops, so I decided to attack the Japanese from behind after nightfall.

Ding Wei, you immediately lead the 2nd Brigade to quietly block the periphery of Yuanping, remember to pay attention to concealment, and never be discovered by the Japanese army, we will completely annihilate the 15th Brigade tonight, that is, before the enemy detects it, it will be firmly blocked in Yuanping City. In addition, the reconnaissance unit of the 2nd Brigade is responsible for blocking and guarding the periphery, and if there is any disturbance, it will be reported immediately.

The 1st Brigade was concealed on the spot, and it hurried to recuperate and recuperate, and immediately after nightfall, it rushed to the aid of Jiang Yuzhen's brigade, using machine guns and submachine guns to take the lead, and demanded that the troops give full play to the advantages of automatic firepower, disperse the enemy at the first time, and prevent the enemy from having a chance to organize a counterattack. In addition, let the artillery battalion and the blocking company cover the assault troops, and if they encounter a stubborn resistance from the Japanese army, knock him out for me immediately! ”

"Yes, Commander!" The generals took orders one after another.

"Well, you guys go get ready! In addition, the correspondent sent a report to the political commissar to inform him of the location at any time, and ordered the 4th and 5th brigades to quickly surround Laoxian and cut off the connection between Laoxian and Yuanping of the Japanese army. ”

"Yes!"

As the battle order was issued, the various units that had already been gearing up quickly moved into action, marched to the predetermined combat positions one after another, and only waited for night to fall on the earth, and then launched a fatal blow to the Japanese army.

After the various departments received the task, the most excited was Li Yunlong, who once again grabbed the main attack task. You must know that now it is the main task on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and it is the glorious task of the instructor to fire the first shot of the War of Resistance against Japan, which is not the same as fighting the Kuomintang troops in the past.

In the past, when fighting the Kuomintang troops, Li Yunlong's brigade was the vanguard almost every time, but this time it was the task of raiding the Japanese army, and Li Yunlong once again grabbed the main attack task, which shows that in the eyes of the division commander, it is up to us Lao Li at the critical moment.

"Order the cadres above the battalion level to assemble at the brigade headquarters immediately!" As soon as he returned to the station, Li Yunlong immediately ordered the messengers to notify the commanders of each battalion one by one to come to a meeting to inform the division commander of the combat arrangements.

After the cadres of the various battalions gathered, Li Yunlong went straight to the point and said: "Comrades, just now the division commander assigned us a combat mission, I, Li Yunlong, lived up to expectations and once again won the heavy responsibility of the main attack for the 1st Brigade. ”

"Good!" "The brigade commander is doing well!" "Great!" The cadres jumped up one after another.

"Shhhh Be quiet, everyone should pay attention to concealment, and don't be discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes before dark. I will now tell you about the mission of our 1st Brigade tonight, after nightfall, when the Japanese army launched an attack on the 196th Brigade, we exploded the Japanese chrysanthemum in the back. This mission is not cool, do you dare to rush into Yuanping with me and kill the Japanese army without leaving a piece of armor. Li Yunlong roared in a low voice.

"Dare!" The cadres roared together.

"Okay, now I order, all units immediately go back to recuperate, eat enough dry food before dark, and wait for the night after the Japanese army and the 196th Brigade exchange fire, the whole brigade with the first regiment as the vanguard, the second and third regiments are divided into two wings, the whole brigade forms a sharp knife, in order to be prepared to fight unprepared, gather automatic firepower to disperse the Japanese formation as soon as possible, and then divide and surround the devils, and annihilate them one by one. Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Clear!"

When Zhang Cheng led the guard company to the garrison of the 1st Brigade, Li Yunlong had already organized the attack formation and could charge at any time. Zhang Cheng inspected the officers and soldiers of the 1st Brigade and sorted out the military caps and collars for the soldiers one by one, his eyes full of encouragement. The soldiers approached Zhang Cheng closely, all of them were excited, and their eyes were full of reverence.

At this time, it was already dark, and there was no annoying buzzing of enemy planes in the sky over Yuanping, Li Yunlong came to Zhang Cheng, stood upright, and saluted: "Division commander, the first brigade is ready, give an order." ”

Zhang Cheng didn't say anything more inspiring, he looked at these soldiers who made him feel extremely proud and proud, and only said lightly: "Go, explode the Japanese chrysanthemum!" ”

Suddenly, the officers and men of the whole army burst into action and rushed towards Yuanping City, which was roaring with artillery fire.
