Chapter 125: The Soul of the Sichuan Army, the Soul of China
A fire burned down the 13th and 45th Wings, and Jiang Shan knew that he had definitely stabbed the hornet's nest at this moment. After the limelight www.biquge.info of himself and the Blood Blade Squad came out, he was definitely a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese army.
If you want to leisurely wander around the rear of the Japanese army, it is estimated that it is unlikely. Shunroku Hahata and Ninji Okamura must be pondering how to catch their bones and scatter ashes by now. Jiang Shan pondered for a while, and decisively decided, with the Blood Blade Squad, smearing oil on the soles of his feet - slip away!
If you don't slip away, you can't do it! Now hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops have been disturbed by the various squads of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade. Seeing the special operations team is a situation that never stops. Several squads have already suffered casualties. As a result, both sides were red-eyed, and when they met, they were in a situation of endless death.
Jiang Shan felt that under such circumstances, the space for the activities of various special operations teams behind enemy lines had been greatly compressed. The flexibility to switch to battle is greatly reduced. Rather than fighting a war of attrition with the Japanese army in the rear, it is better to find another way and open up a new battlefield.
But you have to go, and you can't just leave. Through radio and special means of communication, Jiangshan issued an order to the special operations groups operating behind enemy lines: do not care about the existing achievements, shift the battle line, and open up a new battlefield. The goal is still to kill and injure the enemy's living forces in large numbers, destroy the enemy's command organs, break up the lines of communication, and destroy the supply depots behind enemy lines. There is no need to be greedy for results and momentary gains and losses, and quickly disengage after success. Save yourself and kill your enemies.
With an order, the Japanese defense line in the rear of the Wuhan Theater was turned upside down. Various special operations groups have struck in all directions and are in full bloom. Knock out a stronghold today, blow up an ammunition depot tomorrow, the fire in the barracks here has not been extinguished, and the commander over there has his head taken off again. The Japanese army was overwhelmed and exhausted. The ordinary small team is not the opponent of the well-trained special operations team at all, and when a large force is mobilized to encircle and suppress it, the opponent rushes into the deep mountains and old forests like monkeys. As a result, due to the continuous transfer of troops on the front front, loopholes appeared everywhere, which made the Chinese army a lot of cheap.
The furious Hata Junroku made a desperate bet and resolutely ordered: All units in the Battle of Wuhan temporarily stopped fighting head-on with the Chinese army, and first made every effort to encircle and suppress the Falcon Special Operations Brigade behind the enemy!
Seeing that the pressure is increasing, and the goal of delaying the enemy's offensive posture has basically been achieved. Jiang Shan felt that it was no longer meaningful to play this game of cat and mouse with the Japanese army. In the end, if one of you is not careful, your mouse is caught by the big old cat of the Japanese army, it will be more than worth the loss. After thinking about it for a few days, the second order was issued: all combat groups temporarily stopped disturbing the enemy, rested on the spot, gathered strength, waited for the opportunity, and dealt a greater blow to the enemy!
The Japanese troops, who were trying to encircle and suppress the various special operations groups with great fanfare, suddenly found that their fists were swinging out as if they had hit cotton. It turned out that all those big troubles were everywhere, but I don't know why, and suddenly they all died down. But that's fine, at least you don't have to worry about getting your head off when you sleep every day. On the one hand, the Japanese troops who freed up their hands strengthened the prevention of various key parts; On the other hand, actively organize forces to prepare for a full-scale decisive battle in the Battle of Wuhan.
Seeing that there was really no cheapness to be gained, Jiangshan was no longer nostalgic, and turned around with the Blood Blade team and plunged into the mountains. Let's change places and continue to make trouble for you!
When the Bloody Blade team moves, according to the convention, the throwing knives are used as scouts, the others follow, and the cold ice is at the back of the team or on the flanks to cover. This time was no exception.
After walking for about half a day, the flying knife signaled that there was a situation ahead. Everyone stopped on the spot and stood by, and Jiangshan also touched it.
"There's someone in the reeds ahead." The flying knife reported in a low voice, "I just don't know who it is, I don't know who it is." ”
"Go over and take a look, and if you have the chance, you will grab your tongue and come back." Jiang Shan said.
The two of them quietly touched it. The reeds shook for a while, and Jiang Shan and the flying knife became nervous, and there were indeed people inside.
The flying knife was about to shoot, Jiang Shan's heart moved, and he quietly stretched out his hand and held him down. If it was the Japanese army inside, with the arrogance of the Japanese army, they would never hide their heads and tails like this, and they would have already shouted and screamed. It is very likely that it is the soldiers of the national army who have been scattered.
In order to prove his judgment, Jiang Shan ventured into the reeds. After a few minutes, he turned out again, followed by two soldiers of the national army.
The two soldiers of the national army looked haggard, their faces were black from gunsmoke, but their eyes were still flashing with unyielding fighting intent. The thin military uniform on his body was tattered, and he could no longer see the original color, the leggings on his legs were already loose, and he was wearing a pair of rotten straw sandals barefoot on his feet. There was only an old Hanyang-made rifle in his hand, and even the patent leather on the handguard had faded a lot, revealing the texture of the log.
The flying knife looked at the two of them, and looked at Jiang Shan suspiciously: "Boss, what are these two ways?" ”
Because the situation was unclear, he did not call the captain of Jiangshan, so as not to expose Jiangshan's identity and cause unnecessary trouble.
"National Army, 41st Army, 122nd Division." Jiang Shan said lightly.
"41st Army? Sichuan Army? During the Battle of Xuzhou, weren't you all killed in Teng County? How did you get here? What about you, sir? The flying knife gasped and asked suspiciously.
As soon as they heard that the colorful strange man in front of them was Chinese, the will of the two national soldiers suddenly collapsed, covering their faces and crying.
After crying for a while, one of them calmed down and said intermittently, "Sir, we've been hiding for more than half a year!" My name is Wang Guozhang, and that is Han Deli, my brother of one company. Half a year ago, we stayed in Tengxian for two days, the team was broken up, the division was also killed, and our brothers crawled out of the pile of dead people, and those who hid in Tibet arrived here. ”
Jiang Shan sighed, and the flying knife stopped talking. Both of them didn't feel very comfortable in their hearts.
After meeting up with the other members of the Blood Blade, Jiang Shan introduced the two of them to everyone. After a few simple greetings, Han Deli, who had not spoken much, said in a rich Sichuan accent: "Ge Laozidi, the Japanese artillery is absolutely wanted." The brothers were killed and wounded. These melon babies, Lao Tzu has nothing to say to them! It's a shame to die! ”
The iron fist behind said disdainfully: "Just you? Still talking to the Japanese? What is the use of a division just gone? You ragtag army, let's watch us fight devils! ”
The Sichuan soldier's face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say. Iron Fist wanted to say something more, but he was kicked out of the air. When he got up, he saw Jiang Shan's forehead with blue tendons bulging, and his eyes were red looking at him.
"You bastard! If you tell me anything about the Central Army's miscellaneous army, just fuck me out! As long as you are fighting devils, you are brothers! ”
calmed down a little, Jiang Shan said again: "Look at these two brothers, look at what they are wearing and what they are holding in their hands!" The 122nd Division was martyred, and not a single one surrendered! There is not a single bastard! What the do you have to look down on them? As he spoke, his emotions became agitated again, and when the others saw this, they hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him.
No wonder Jiangshan is so excited, the eight-year War of Resistance, the Sichuan army has made great contributions, not to mention that the number of troops accounts for the first place in the country, just say that the loyalty and courage of the Sichuan army soldiers make him awe-inspired.
In the past eight years, 3 million soldiers of the Sichuan Army went out of Sichuan to resist the war, and 640,000 people were killed or wounded. Some of these stories are even more moving.
On October 15, 1937, Liu Xiang was appointed commander of the Seventh Theater of Operations, saying: "In the past, after many years of civil war, his face was not very glorious, and today he serves the country, how can he be in the rear!" On January 20, 1938, Liu Xiang died at the age of 48. Before he died, he left a will, and he couldn't speak privately: "The war of resistance to the end will always be unswerving, that is, the enemy army will not withdraw from the border for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return to his hometown for a day!" ”
Wang Zhecheng, who is known as a "model father", sent his son Wang Jiantang, who automatically invited Yingying to go on the expedition, the scene was even more tear-jerking: what he presented to his son was a "death" flag! He wrote a big word "death" in the middle of the white cloth flag, and on the left side of the flag wrote: "When the national disaster is at the head, the Japanese are hideous." The rise and fall of the country has a share. I wanted to serve, but I was too old. Fortunately, I have a son, and I consciously ask for help. Give a flag and carry it with you at all times. Wipe blood when wounded, and wrap up after death. Go forward bravely, don't forget your duty! ”
Tang Shizun, the commander of the 23rd Group Army, also left an impassioned poem when he swore in the Sichuan Army when he swore to go to the expedition - the boy is determined to go out of the pass, and he will not return the Japanese slaves if he does not destroy them, why should he bury his bones, and there are green mountains everywhere in his life!
Jiang Shan slowly finished talking about these deeds of the Sichuan soldiers, and everyone stopped talking. Tears rolled down the eyes of the two Sichuan soldiers. Wang Guozhang choked up and said: "The 122nd division is over, and more than 5,000 brothers have all fought with the Japanese." Shizuo was also martyred. The more than 300 wounded soldiers who remained in Teng County were all killed with grenades and devils in the end...... The 122nd Division is over, it's over! In the end, he was already crying and crying.
Jiang Shan quietly touched the tears from the corners of his eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Brother, the Sichuan army can't be defeated, the 122nd Division is good, and the brothers of the Sichuan army are all good!" ”
Iron Fist came over with red eyes, raised his hand and slapped himself twice, and said: "Two brothers, I am a cheap person, these two slaps can be regarded as my reparation for the brothers of the Sichuan Army." After speaking, he turned around to face the direction of Teng County, knelt down, kowtowed twice, and said loudly: "Brothers of the Sichuan Army, don't go far in the spirit of heaven!" Look at me, Liu Yongcheng fights devils for you! You are all good, I, Liu Yongcheng, kowtow to you! With that, he picked up his gun, walked to the side and stood silently, no longer speaking.
Han Deli red-eyed and said, "Sir, let me fight devils with you!" Kill a few more devils, and I can still avenge the brothers of the 122nd Division! ”
Jiang Shan looked at him and said calmly: "Follow us, you are wandering in the heart of the devil, and you may not move your head at any time." Aren't you afraid of death? ”
Without waiting for Han Deli to speak, Wang Guozhang next to him said lightly: "Since the day we hit the river, we have no intention of going back alive." ”
Everyone was blown away. Jiang Shan turned back to a few people and said, "Take out the spare clothes and shoes in your backpack and put them on for the two brothers." He picked up the guns of the two men again, examined them, and said with a frown: "You are fighting with this gun?" Even the rifling is gone. ”
Wang Guozhang said: "We have more than 80 brothers in the company, and there are only 40 guns in total, and there are two machine guns. My guns are pretty good, and some of my brothers' guns are still tied with hemp rope when the bolts are about to fall off. When I went out of Sichuan, there was no equipment allocated from above. In the winter, the brothers were still single-clothed and straw sandals, and many of them were not fighting with devils, but were frozen to death. ”
Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say. The brothers of the Sichuan army are using the most rudimentary equipment and the most sincere blood, leaving their hometowns and fighting desperately with devils. During the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan was China's great rear, and because of the high mountains and dangerous roads, the Japanese army tried their best to occupy it. The people of Sichuan are all leisurely and quiet. With their situation, they can live in the mountains and not ask about the world. However, as soon as the conscription order was issued, the soldiers and civilians of Sichuan still responded to the call without hesitation and participated in this war that was related to the life and death of the country with great enthusiasm. For such an army, such a people, in the hearts of the country, in addition to admiration, it is still admiration!
Iron Fist didn't say a word, stepped forward, stuffed the 38 big cover in his hand into Wang Guozhang's hand, and said, "You have this gun!" I'm all done! ”
Wang Guozhang and Han Deli hurriedly waved their hands, and said eagerly: "How can this work?" Give it to me, what are you doing to fight devils? ”
Jiang Shan and Iron Fist looked at each other and smiled, Jiang Shan said indifferently: "Two brothers, let you take it, you just take it." Otherwise, he is not sure. As for his guns, naturally someone would have sent them. ”
