Chapter 142: The Great Enemy Is Now
"Correspondent! Call me the logistics company commander! Gu Yanjun shouted to Tian Xiaoniu and ordered loudly.
After a while, the commander of the logistics company Song Company, who was covered with gunpowder smoke and sweating profusely, ran over, stood upright, and reported loudly: "Report to the captain, Song Lijun, the commander of the logistics company, report to duty!" Please instruct! ”
Usually, several company commanders are giggling and not in front of Jiang Shan, but when Lao Song saw that there were outsiders present, he pretended to be formal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info in front of outsiders, can't fall the captain's shelf.
"Okay, this is Commander Qiao of the 115th Regiment of the Shandong Column of the 181st Division of the Eighth Route Army, there are no outsiders, and you don't have to hold a shelf for me. Go! Pick 300 good ones from the 38 big covers we replaced, and send them to the brothers of the 181st regiment! ”
"This ......" Song Lijun dragged Jiang Shan aside and whispered: "My captain, can you not be so generous?" Let's just have that little bit of money, you give more than half of it out at once, we can't do it? ”
"Captain Jiang, don't be so polite, they are all Chinese, how can they be paid for fighting devils?" Qiao Zhinan next to him also hurriedly said. Although he was very jealous of these 300 38 big covers, he didn't have the intention of having to. However, for this Falcon Special Operations Brigade that can fight and rush, he has another good impression in his heart. At least this Gu Captain seems to be quite righteous. It was not quite the same as the average Kuomintang officer.
If Jiang Shan knew what he was thinking now, he would definitely hold his hand and shout: "Comrade brother, I am my own person, a person in the organization, not the Kuomintang!" ”
But now is not the time to say this, Jiang Shan's face turned pale, and he glared at Song Lijun and said, "Am I the captain or are you the captain?" Do I have the final say, or do you have the final say? Go! Do as I say! ”
Song Lijun stopped talking and obediently ran down to make arrangements. Qiao Zhinan was obviously shocked by this unexpected gain. Okay, 300 38 big covers, what kind of momentum is this! Three hundred, in Commander Xu's place, let alone three hundred, even thirty, he has to pick his teeth for a long time!
Qiao Zhinan rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Captain Jiang, this, how can this be embarrassing?" ”
Jiang Shan waved his hand with a big grin: "Okay, we are friendly troops, don't fix those empty heads, you have also seen, my troops don't need these slow-firing rifles at all now, and it is also lang fee to keep them." That's it, I'll ask Lao Song to bring someone to send it to you in a while. Now, you first take the soldiers to familiarize themselves with the position. Our falcons are familiar with the situation, or on the front, you just came, let the warriors take a breath first, and press us in the back! ”
Qiao Zhinan was speechless for a while, and he was holding his own thing as a baby, but people didn't look at it at all. However, looking at the submachine guns of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, as well as the light machine guns that are basically configured to one for each squad, and then looking at the heavy machine guns on the main position, he still wisely chose to be silent. is a main force group, and he is stunned to make people compare it to Hanako.
It is no wonder that the soldiers of the 181st Regiment and the soldiers of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade quickly became one, and it is no wonder that the 181st Regiment is the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and it is adapted from the old Red Army, and the soldiers are all relatively high in ideological consciousness; The soldiers of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade are almost all from bitter backgrounds, and they have a deep blood feud with the Japanese ** part, coupled with the subtle changes of Jiang Shan and Liang Jianbin on weekdays, they have a good impression of the army in front of them that has many god-like appearances with themselves. They are all bloody men who fight devils, and just now the 181st Regiment saved the life of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade at any cost, so there will naturally be no barrier between the two sides. The fighters of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade were familiar with the position with the soldiers of the 181st Regiment, and the soldiers of the 181st Regiment looked at the heavily armed Falcon fighters curiously, especially the MP18 submachine gun, which aroused the curiosity and envy of many people.
It didn't take much effort, Lao Song led people to send 300 brand-new 38 big covers. Not long after the Falcon fighters seized this batch of guns, they were all reequipped with mp18, and they were basically still eighty percent new. The fighters of the 181 regiment were naturally elated and excited when they got the new guns. Lao Song watched the soldiers constantly fiddling with the newly acquired weapons, and said to Qiao Zhinan with a smile: "Our captain said, the guns are all given to you, let's be a good person to the end, there are more than 40 boxes of bullets, we have left ten boxes for the machine gun, and the rest will be packed for you." After all, if there are guns and no bullets, it is also for nothing. ”
Qiao Zhinan hurriedly said: "Oh, you Captain Jiang are too polite, we should do it to fight devils, why are you so polite?" ”
When the two of them were polite, a soldier of the 181st regiment ran over, saluted and hurriedly said: "Report to the regiment commander, the devil is about to attack!" ”
Lao Song hurriedly said: "Captain Qiao, you are busy with you, I have delivered the things, and my task is completed!" I won't bother you in the fight yet! Fight well! Kill a few more devils for our logistics! Knowing that Qiao Zhinan agreed, he turned around and left the position of the 181st regiment.
Qiao Zhinan watched Lao Song leave the position, and then turned around and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Everyone! Enter the combat position! Get ready for battle! ”
The 181st regiment's oblique stab came out, which made Sakamoto Shun's complacent ambition suddenly turn into frustration. He never imagined that when the battle came to this point, it should have been taken smoothly, the Chinese army was eliminated, and then the victory was successful. Who knew that another Chinese army descended from heaven and let the boiled duck fly out of the pot alive.
When his subordinates reported the situation of the unit that suddenly appeared, Sakamoto's frustration instantly turned into soaring anger! Units of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army! In September 37, it was this scum-dropping army that let his brigade plant a big heel in Pingxingguan, Shanxi. More than 100 cars, more than 200 carts, more than 1,000 rifles, more than 20 light and heavy machine guns, and a large number of strategic materials have all become the results of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers have also become the guns of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
In that battle, the 21st Infantry Brigade, which was originally high-spirited, was directly beaten into a mourning dog, and the entire brigade became the laughing stock and shame of the Japanese troops, and Sakamoto Shun became synonymous with incompetence and cowardice. It's just that he and the head of Itagaki Seishiro's division are classmates in the infantry section of the Tokyo Non-commissioned Officer School, and the two have a very good personal relationship.
When the enemies see each other, they are very red! Shun Sakamoto now believes that this is the god Anews who is favoring him, and just when he is in the prime of his army, the heavens have sent the most important enemy of his life to him. Now, he has 10,000 reasons to eliminate the two Chinese troops on the opposite side at any cost, and give the 21st Brigade a shame.
"Send a report to Your Excellency the division commander that the Chinese army has added a new reinforcement unit, which is confirmed to be a part of the 115th Division of the 18th Group Army of China, and this unit is the immortal blood feud of our 21st brigade! His post is determined to pay back a hundredfold of the suffering suffered by the Imperial Army, so as to demonstrate the martial might of the Imperial Army and the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor! For this purpose, it is not a pity to be broken. I also ask Your Excellency, the division commander, to send the 62nd Wing and the 11th Wing to cooperate on both flanks of our country to gather and annihilate the Chinese army! ”
Qiao Zhinan and Jiang Shan never thought that a new new force would attract more enemy sieges.
The 181st Regiment was completely to help the Falcon Special Operations Group break the siege just now, so the damage to the Japanese army was not very large. After a short rest, the Japanese army gathered more than 2,000 people and began to attack.
As is the old rule, the sharpshooters of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade began to name Japanese officers, non-commissioned officers, machine gunners and grenadiers. With the crisp sound of gunshots, the commanders and fighters of the 181st Regiment were stunned, could the battle still be fought like this? At a distance of more than 150 meters, the Japanese army had already lost its troops before they arrived. If this continues, it is estimated that there will be only a few people left in front of the position.
Qiao Zhinan's heart itched when he saw it, so he took a 38 big cover, set the ruler at 200, aimed slightly, and shot decisively, and a Japanese soldier in the distance fell to the ground. Jiang Shan gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Good marksmanship!" ”
Qiao Zhinan smiled and didn't speak, but there was still a hint of triumph on his face.
Jiang Shan was aroused by his competitive spirit, reached out and picked up his Mauser K98K sniper rifle, after thinking about it, he changed to an ordinary 38-style rifle, took the gun, and did not aim much, it was a shot, 200 meters away, a Japanese second lieutenant burst out of blood on his head, fell to the ground and convulsed twice before stopping.
At this moment, Qiao Zhinan has no intention of comparing. Let's not say that I adjusted the ruler more than others, and aimed for a while, just with the demeanor of a general who is calm and breezy after the end of the day, it is not something that I can compare.
Although the soldiers were accurate in marksmanship, the Japanese army had too much advantage in numbers. At a distance of 60 meters, although the fire net woven by the MP18 submachine gun brought down many Japanese soldiers, many Japanese soldiers still rushed to the position. Jiang Shan just wanted to order the troops to prepare for a white-knuckle battle, but Qiao Zhinan held him down and said, "Captain Jiang, let's do it this time!" After speaking, he turned to the trumpeter and shouted, "Blow the trumpet!" White-knuckle combat! ”
It was the first time that Jiang Shan had heard the horn of the charge at such a close distance. The passionate trumpet made his blood boil, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the 181st Regiment rushed towards the devil like tigers in the mountains, waving the big knives in their hands. The unreasonable fighting style of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade just now had already tickled their hearts, and they would hear the familiar sound of the military horn, and the blood in their chests suddenly had a channel to vent, and they rushed over one by one.
The Japanese assassination technique was indeed good, however, it was based on bayonet to bayonet. When the weak and slender bayonet of the Type 38 rifle met the fierce and domineering Chinese broadsword, the Japanese soldiers helplessly found that they had no way to resist. Jiang Shan watched as a Japanese soldier raised his rifle and tried to block the opponent's broadsword from top to bottom, but even the gun was split in half alive.
Qiao Zhinan next to him jumped to his feet and scolded: "You little rabbit cub!" Let you cut people! Who told you to chop off a piece of your gun? It wasn't until he saw Jiang Shan next to him looking at him with a strange face that his face turned red, and he said with a wry smile: "I'm used to living a hard life, and I feel a pity when I see the gun being broken." ”
Jiang Shan turned around and stared at the situation on the battlefield, waved his big hand, and said: "The capture of this battle belongs to you, anyway, it's useless if I want it." Qiao Zhinan rubbed his hands and laughed: "Oh, this feeling is good, then I'm welcome!" "He has long observed that the Japanese soldiers who were reimbursed just now have left at least a dozen crooked handles!
With the vigor of the tiger who fought and rushed and the fierceness that was not afraid of death, the soldiers of the 181st Regiment drove the Japanese army down from their positions and temporarily stabilized their position.
In the interval between the battles, Jiang Shan, Liang Jianbin , Qiao Zhinan and others were discussing how to fight the next battle, when they saw a soldier from the communication platoon rushing over as if he was burning his buttocks. When he arrived in front of Jiang Shan, he didn't wait for his breath to even, so he hurriedly took out a piece of letter paper from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Big ...... Captain, the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations has an urgent telegram! ”
Jiang Shan took the telegram from his hand and looked at it suspiciously. After only a few glances, his complexion changed greatly, and he handed the message in his hand to Qiao Zhinan, and said, "Commander Qiao, take your soldiers, withdraw!" ”
Qiao Zhinan took the telegram and looked at it carefully, there were only a few lines on it, but it made his heart turn over a monstrous giant lang.
"The 62nd and 11th Wings of the Japanese Army have moved closer to the 21st Brigade and analyzed their targets in the direction of your department. ** The various tribes are rapidly assembling a movement in an attempt to encircle the Japanese in the middle of the army. Wanggui troops stuck in place to attract the attention of the Japanese army and create time and space for our army to completely annihilate the Japanese invaders. The sacrifices made by your ministry for the great plan of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and for the survival of the Chinese nation will surely go down in history and be remembered by future generations. ”
The telegram made it very clear that it was hoped that the Falcon Special Operations Brigade would continue to play its role as bait and attract more Japanese troops to its side. It seems that the situation has reached a very dangerous situation, and the future of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade has been depicted in the telegram -- a name that will go down in history and will be remembered by posterity. It seems that they no longer expect them to escape from the encirclement of more than 20,000 Japanese troops.
Qiao Zhinan frowned and thought about it for a long time, and said to Jiang Shan: "Captain Jiang, can you borrow your radio station?" I'm going to ask my superiors for advice. ”
Jiang Shan glanced at him and said, "No problem." After speaking, he personally took Qiao Zhinan to the temporary position of the communication platoon.
Qiao Zhinan took a deep breath, patted the shoulder of Liang Lichao, the commander of the communications platoon, and said: "Brother, according to what I said, send a report to the Shandong Column Headquarters of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army: 'Our department was ordered to support the Falcon Special Operations Brigade in combat, and now it is under heavy encirclement by the enemy, and the fear of breaking through is not enough. All the commanders and fighters of our regiment are determined to die and resolutely hold their positions! Long live China! Long live the Chinese nation! Shandong Column of the 115th Division of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, head and political commissar of the 181st Regiment, Qiao Zhinan. April 21, 1938, 14 p.m. 'Alright, let's send the report!' ”
Jiang Shan held down Liang Lichao and shouted: "Don't send a report!" Captain Joe, do you know what that means? ”
Qiao Zhinan looked at him and said word by word: "Brother, I am a 32-year-old Red Army, I don't know how many times I have fought big and small battles, of course I know what it means." However, we can't afford to lose both forces here. Our regiment stays, you leave me a few machine guns, create the illusion that we are all still trapped in our positions, and then you quietly retreat from the back hills. In this way, at least we can still preserve an anti-Japanese force. ”
"Then it should be you who retreat, we stay, don't forget, this is our battle!" Jiang Shan said coldly.
"! Now this is the battle of the Chinese! We need to keep a strong fighting force and fight even more brutally with the enemy in the future! The Falcon Special Operations Brigade is now the most combat-effective Chinese army I have ever seen, and it can't be buried in vain in this ghost place where birds don't! Qiao Zhinan shouted loudly.
Jiang Shan stopped talking, he had nothing to say, Qiao Zhinan and the 181st Regiment were determined to die and wanted to cover their retreat.
When he was silent, Liang Lichao suddenly put the headphones on his ears, listened carefully, and after a few minutes, he looked at the two people with strange expressions and said: "Captain, Commander Qiao, I received a telegram, and the sending organ is the headquarters of the Eighteenth Group Army. ”
The two who were fighting for a blushing neck glanced at each other, and both looked at Liang Lichao suspiciously, Jiang Shan was the first to react, and said urgently: "Read!" ”
"The telegram ordered the 181st Regiment of the 115th Division of the Shandong Column, shocked to hear that your unit was ordered to rush to the aid of friendly forces, and is now under heavy siege by the Japanese invaders, and the group army headquarters has ordered the 183rd Regiment and 184th Regiment of the 115th Division and the three columns of decisive death to march forward to your department. Your troops should cooperate with friendly forces, hold on to the spot for 3 hours, wait for reinforcements, and cooperate with the outside to deal a major blow to the Japanese invaders. I have telegraphed to the headquarters of the commanders of the Fifth and Ninth Theaters that all units under the two theaters have accelerated their movements and are striving to form a situation of encirclement at an early date. Headquarters of the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Commander: Zhu De, Chief of Staff: Ye Jianying. April 21, 1938, 14 p.m. ”
After the telegram was read, Jiang Shan and Qiao Zhinan were stunned, okay, even the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was alarmed, crossed the 115th Division and the Shandong Column, and directly deployed a regiment-level unit for combat mission. This is unique in the history of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, it is even more generous to invest three main regiments at one time and one directly subordinate unit to participate in the war.
Liang Zhichao looked at the two people playfully, and asked with a smile: "Captain, Captain Qiao, is the message just now still sent?" Jiang Shan kicked him on the ass and scolded with a smile: "Fat! Fart! Order, Falcon Special Operations Brigade, all sorts out ammunition, refurbishes fortifications! The logistics company seized the time to bury the pot and cook! Lao Tzu is going to cook a big meal for the little devil this time! ”
Qiao Zhinan had already rushed out of the telegraph room and shouted: "Communicator! Inform the troops, hurry up and recuperate! This time we have a big battle to fight! ”
Far away in Yangjialing, northern Shaanxi, the confidential room of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Commander-in-Chief Zhu De smiled and said to Ye Jianying on the side: "Commander-in-chief, you said that we are making such a big move this time, just for a team of 500 people, isn't it a bit of a fuss?" ”
Ye Jianying, chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, also smiled, "Commander-in-chief, since you have made such a big formation, you must have your own ideas, say it, let's sum it up, don't hide it, brainstorm." ”
Zhu De lit a cigarette and stared at the enemy situation map on the wall for a long time before he said slowly: "I always feel that this Falcon Special Operations Brigade is very unusual. No matter from the point of view of tactics, operational ideas, or development situation, it is not like an ordinary Kuomintang army, but it is very similar to our Eighth Route Army, and in terms of tactics, it is also very appropriate to the chairman's theory of guerrilla warfare. Moreover, the combat effectiveness is also very strong, and several units of the Japanese army have already suffered their losses. Now the Japanese army is very rampant, and with such a force to contain the Japanese army, there will be a lot less resistance to our development. Therefore, this force must be preserved! ”
Ye Jianying also thought about it for a long time and said: "In this case, after this battle is over, I suggest that the comrades of the Northern Bureau can paste it and must master this unit." ”
"It's still thoughtful! I, Zhu De, am a martial artist, and I am good at fighting and killing, so it is more appropriate for you to be responsible for this matter. Commander-in-Chief Zhu's words set the tone.
Jiang Shan doesn't know now that he has registered with the supreme commander of the Eighth Route Army. This will be busy with the deployment of combat missions. Looking at the soldiers who were full of confidence and high morale, and looking at the direction of the Japanese army in the distance, Jiang Shan had only one thought in his heart: "Come on, little devil!" Today is your time of death! ”
