Chapter 174
Seeing the Isogu Division fleeing in a hurry, Zhang Dongbei did not order the pursuit. is the so-called poor Kou Mo chase, and the most important thing at this time is to send those injured Sichuan soldiers back to the city for treatment. As for the Isoya Division, Zhang Dongbei knew that although they fled in a hurry this time, they would definitely make a comeback again, and it would not be too late to take the head of Isoya Lianjie at that time.
After an order, the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade began to treat the wounded, this counter-charge, the Sichuan army suffered heavy casualties, although it caused a certain deterrent effect on the little devil psychologically, but this is the result of the life of the young soldiers of the Sichuan Army.
After rescuing everyone back to the city, seeing that the wounded soldiers all over the city were physically and mentally exhausted at the moment, a sense of respect rose in Zhang Dongbei's heart, and when Zhang Dongbei and a group of soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade were busy treating their injuries, a voice suddenly behind him said weakly: "Excuse me, are you Brigade Commander Zhang of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade?" ”
Zhang Dongbei turned his head and saw that it was two Sichuan soldiers whose bodies were stained red with blood, but Zhang Dongbei could see that the blood stains on their clothes were splashed up, which meant that it was all the blood of the enemy, and as soon as Zhang Dongbei saw these two people, he felt that the two people faintly exuded a temperament that other Sichuan soldiers did not have.
Zhang Dongbei nodded and said, "That's right, I am Zhang Dongbei." Brigade commander of the Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade. ”
One of them immediately shook his hand and said excitedly: "Brigade Commander Zhang, thank you for coming to rescue the soldiers of our Sichuan Army this time, my Wang Mingzhang is very grateful." Oh, by the way, I am the supreme commander of the Tengxian defense battle, Wang Mingzhang. ”
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with a baby face, but with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, Zhang Dongbei was shocked: it turned out that he was Wang Mingzhang, a patriotic general of the Sichuan Army who was defending Teng County and finally died on the battlefield in a battle situation that was extremely unfavorable to him.
A sense of respect rose in his heart, and Zhang Dongbei expressed his highest respect for him to Wang Mingzhang and saluted him. In history, Wang Mingzhang stubbornly defended Teng County and finally died in Teng County due to running out of ammunition and food, but now that he has appeared in Teng County, he will definitely not let such a national hero die here.
After a cold noise, Wang Mingzhang said: "Brigade Commander Zhang, please come with me to the command post, this time the Isogu Division is the most defeated, but their ultimate goal is Xuzhou, so they will definitely attack again, so I want to discuss with you the strategy of fighting the enemy." ”
Zhang Dongbei nodded and said, "Okay, but General Wang, you have been fighting fiercely with the little devil for so long, don't you need to take a break?" I've heard you haven't closed your eyes for five days. ”
Wang Mingzhang smiled miserably and said: "Now that the war is tense, where do you care about sleeping, or even dare not sleep, sometimes I am afraid that I may wake up, and Xiao Yueben has already invaded Teng County." Teng County is the north gate of Xuzhou, the geographical location is very important, there is no room for the slightest mistake, I really dare not have the slightest slack. ”
Zhang Dongbei persuaded him a few more words, and seeing that Wang Mingzhang insisted on refusing to rest, he followed him to the former enemy headquarters in Teng County with a sense of respect in his heart. After coming to the headquarters, Zhang Dongbei found that the surroundings had already been bombarded by artillery fire. After several hours of discussion and formulating a detailed plan to defend against the enemy, Wang Mingzhang felt a wave of fatigue hit his heart.
Wang Mingzhang held Zhang Dongbei's hand and said: "Brigade Commander Zhang, to be honest, I had planned to die with Xiao Yueben before, but now that you have come to Teng County, I have seen hope again, this time the Sichuan army in Teng County suffered heavy casualties in the first battle, but up to now, there are still thousands of troops, I handed over thousands of Sichuan army children to Brigade Commander Zhang in the next battle, and I hope that Brigade Commander Zhang can bring them out of Teng County safely." ”
Zhang Dongbei was a little confused, listening to Wang Mingzhang's words, he felt that Wang Mingzhang seemed to be saying goodbye to himself, and couldn't help asking: "General Wang, why did you say this, do you have something unspeakable, you can't say it, maybe I can also help you." ”
Ma Yaoming said: "Brigade Commander Zhang, you don't know that this time Lao Jiang gave us the order to stick to Tengxian County for seven days, but today only the fifth army commander led the soldiers to fight to the death with Xiao Yueben, although the army commander did not become a deserter, but the battlefield disobedience is also a big crime, not to mention that the battle of Tengxian County is directly related to the success or failure of the Battle of Xuzhou, so the army commander knew that he could not escape this catastrophe, so he said this to Brigade Commander Zhang." Although Wang and Ma still think that Zhang Dongbei's arrival was on Chiang Kai-shek's orders, they also knew in their hearts that no one in the Eighth Route Army had really served Chiang Kai-shek, and now the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were only cooperating again, so they did not hide their dissatisfaction with Chiang Kai-shek between their words.
Regarding the defense of Tengxian County, Zhang Dongbei knew from previous history that Chiang Kai-shek did not send troops to reinforce until all the Chengpochuan troops were killed. Therefore, the disrespect for Chiang Kai-shek in his words is also understood in my heart.
Zhang Dongbei said: "So that's the case, so in this case, even if General Wang can successfully relieve the siege of Tengxian this time, he won't be able to pass the pass of Lao Jiang?" ”
When the two heard that he also called Chiang Kai-shek Lao Chiang, not Chairman Chiang, they suddenly felt much closer in their hearts. Wang Mingzhang nodded and said, "It seems that it is difficult to have a chance of survival this time." That's why I entrusted the Sichuan army to Brigade Commander Zhang, and I only hope that Brigade Commander Zhang will take them out of Teng County. ”
Zhang Dongbei said: "General Wang, you are the loyal soul of this army, if something happens to you, the soldiers will not survive, if Lao Jiang really wants to cure your crimes, it will definitely provoke the rebellion of the Sichuan army, now is the critical juncture of the war, I think Lao Jiang should not be so disregarding the overall situation." As long as the Sichuan army is united, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed. Don't worry, as long as you stick to Teng County this time and eliminate the enemy of Teng County, Commander Wang, you will not only have no fault, but will have merit. If Chiang Kai-shek still has to be held accountable for the meritorious man, then he is not worthy of being the leader of this country at all. ”
Wang Ma and the others were shocked at the same time, they didn't expect Zhang Dongbei to speak so amazingly, they couldn't help but glance at each other and stopped talking. If this last sentence is listened to by Lao Jiang's people, the consequences will really be unimaginable, and they will probably be punished for treason.
At this time, all the city defense tasks of Teng County were handed over to the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade, because they knew the power of the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Brigade, Wang Ma and the entire Sichuan army finally had a good night's sleep this night. The soldiers of the Sichuan army, who had been well rested, woke up refreshed the next day, swept away the previous fatigue and decadence, and prepared to meet the enemy's onslaught with a new fighting spirit on the new day. But what everyone didn't expect was that they didn't wait for another attack by the Isoya Division, but waited for the crime team sent by the Kuomintang. The anti-crime team was composed of three division-level Kuomintang officers, and the purpose of their visit was precisely to bring Wang Mingzhang to the Nanjing Military Court for trial.
At such a critical moment, Chiang Kai-shek made such a decision, which was simply shocking, but everyone saw that the three division commanders who came to Teng County were not joking, and everyone's faces were full of resentment. Since he held on to Teng County, Chiang Kai-shek has not fired a single bullet or sent a single reinforcement, and it seems that the life and death of the Sichuan army have nothing to do with him, but just yesterday because the Sichuan army took the initiative to attack, now the old Chiang wants to be held responsible, which is simply ridiculous.
All the officers and men of the Sichuan army were furious, and they all took out their guns to protect their division commanders. The three division commanders who came this time were all Chiang Kai-shek's descendants, and they were not used to seeing anyone in normal times, but they were not panicked at all when they saw this kind of formation, but were furious.
One of the division commanders pointed at the Sichuan army on the opposite side and said angrily: "It seems that your Sichuan army is not only disobeying orders on the battlefield, but also wants to rebel." Fortunately, we had the foresight this time, this time we came and brought our respective troops, only I, Shi Yuzhu, had twice as many troops as your Sichuan army, are you still afraid that your thousands of Sichuan troops will not succeed? ”
Listening to the division commander report his name, Zhang Dongbei felt familiar for a while, as if he had heard this name somewhere, thought about it for a while, and finally remembered that this Shi Yuzhu was the uncle of the evil bandit Shi Daofeng who he had killed in Peng County before.
Zhang Dongbei sneered and said: "General Wang has asked Lao Jiang for reinforcements many times, but Lao Jiang has been saying that there are no surplus troops in the country, but today the strength of three divisions suddenly came at the same time, which really opened my eyes to Zhang." ”
When these three division commanders received Chiang Kai-shek's order yesterday, they had already learned that the [***] Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade had been stationed in Teng County, but they didn't know which one was Zhang Dongbei, plus Zhang Dongbei was already young, and he didn't wear the uniform of the Eighth Route Army today, so when he said this, the three Kuomintang division commanders roared in unison: "Boy, you dare to be disrespectful to the chairman, are you looking for death?" Grab me. ”
The three division commanders roared in unison, and the guards standing behind them did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they all rushed out from behind them, and just as they were rushing towards Zhang Dongbei, they suddenly let out an angry roar in the ranks of the Sichuan army: "Mom Dibazi, Lao Tzu will see who dares to move our brigade commander, and whoever dares to move Lao Tzu will destroy whoever again." As he spoke, a team of Eighth Route Army wearing sky-blue military uniforms rushed out from behind the Sichuan Army, and the leader was Cao Shangfei, the captain of the White Tiger detachment.
"This kid turned out to be a brigade commander?" Seeing the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushing out, the three Kuomintang division commanders were all shocked, because they suddenly thought of the identity of this young boy, at this time, Tengxian County only had the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in addition to the Sichuan Army, and they had long heard that Zhang Dongbei, the brigade commander of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade, was a young man under thirty, but they never expected that it would be the kid in front of them.
Looking at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who suddenly rushed out, those guards did not dare to act rashly. All of a sudden, the two teams were so deadlocked. And when Shi Yuzhu learned that the young man in front of him was Zhang Dongbei of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade, the fat on his face trembled unconsciously, and a flash of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
