Chapter 339 The bloody battle in Tengxian ends

"Tick Tick Tick...... Tick Tick Tick Tick ......"

"Rush!" "Kill!"

At the same time as the cannon of the artillery battalion sounded, the soldiers of the second brigade and the fifth regiment jumped out and rushed towards Tengxian County. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Dada......"

Under the leadership of Li Jingrui, the new commander of the Fifth Regiment, the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment took the lead and rushed into the city of Tengxian County, and the bullets of various firearms such as Czech-style machine guns and three-seven bars swept past the tail of the Japanese army like a storm.

"Yaga! Reinforcements from the Shina people have arrived, hurry up and fight back! The Japanese soon noticed the abnormality behind them, and officers at all levels shouted in horror, hoping to quickly organize their troops and launch a counterattack against the Chinese army.

"Boom!"

The Japanese army's reaction speed was not fast, but after all, the instructor was prepared to fight unprepared, and the battle firmly gained the upper hand at the beginning, the Japanese army had just assembled a small force, but before it had time to launch a counterattack on the Eighth Route Army, it was blown away by the rocket launchers and grenadiers carried by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and the more concentrated the Japanese troops, the greater the damage of the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing the attack behind him, Lieutenant General Isogu Liansuke, the commander of the 10th Division, was also stunned, and he was shocked and said: "Baga, weren't the reinforcements of the Shina people blocked by the imperial army?" Where did this army come from? ”

"It should be the main force of the government army in China, and such a powerful firepower is at least tens of thousands of people. Your Excellency Division Commander, although our 10th Division still has more than 20,000 troops, after all, the continuous combat division is tired and lacks the patience to fight, what should we do? The chief of staff of the division, Di Bujiagui, was also panicked at this time, and asked helplessly.

"Damn the Shina, why did they kill them so quickly, didn't Noboru Kunizaki of the Fifth Division promise us that not a single soldier of the Zhina will be able to get through, what is going on with these tens of thousands of troops now, can they still fall from the sky!?" Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoko said angrily.

"Boom!"

After the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army wiped out most of the artillery units of the 10th Division, it immediately shifted its target and extended its artillery bombardment towards the Japanese troops in Tengxian County, causing the Japanese to cry wolf and kill and wound wolves.

Seeing that the artillery fire was getting closer and closer to the division headquarters, Di Bujiagui shouted in horror: "Your Excellency, division commander, there is no time to complain, the main force of the Zhina people is getting closer and closer to us, our troops are concentrated in the city, and in the face of the flanking attack of the Zhina, there is no way to deploy troops, if this continues, our 10th Division will be in danger, Your Excellency must hurry up and get an idea!" ”

Lieutenant General Isogu Ryosuke is also an old devil who has experienced a hundred battles, but he was caught off guard by the sudden reinforcement of the main force of the Chinese army for a while, which made him lose his usual calm, and now he finally regained his composure in the roar of the embankment, he pondered for a long time, and then decisively ordered: "Although the combat strength of the Chinese army is not good, but now the war situation of our army is extremely unfavorable, and the troops cannot be launched, so they can temporarily retreat first, but after withdrawing from Teng County, we will gather our forces again and give the Chinese army a horse gun, It will definitely turn defeat into victory. ”

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, is very wise, we will temporarily avoid the edge and let the people of China be proud for a while, and soon they will taste the bitter fruits of themselves. I'm going down to deliver the order to retreat. Seeing that Lieutenant General Isogu finally came up with an idea, Di Bujiagui was greatly relieved in his heart, and then said earnestly.

"Yo Xi, you go, I won't let the people of China be proud for too long." Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoko said hatefully.

At the same time, the Sichuan army, which was compressed by the Japanese army at the Xiguan Railway Station, gradually relieved itself with the support of the Second Brigade, and they heard the roar of guns and artillery in Tengxian County, and soon realized that the reinforcements were coming, and suddenly burst out with a strong will to survive, and repelled the attacks of the devils several times in a row.

However, what makes people sigh is that in the process of leading his troops to move to the Xiguan Railway Station, Division Commander Wang Mingzhang, who is deeply loved by the officers and soldiers, was intensively strafed by the Japanese troops occupying the Xiguan City Tower when he was near the electric light factory.

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang was shot several times and blood flowed all over the ground. He struggled and said to his entourage, "Go ahead, continue to fight the enemy, and leave me alone, I will die here with great pleasure!" …… Long live the Chinese nation! ”

After shouting the slogan, Wang Mingzhang, the division commander, was martyred, and after the division commander died, the Sichuan army soldiers carried the body of the division commander on their backs and transferred it to the train battle, and continued to fight against the Japanese invaders until the reinforcements of the second brigade arrived.

The officers and men of the 10th Division, who had never seen such a powerful Chinese unit in firepower, made a wrong judgment in shock and panic, thinking that the main force of the Chinese army had arrived to reinforce them, and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat urgently.

The Japanese army is worthy of being the elite of the battle-hardened formation, and even when retreating, it still maintained a very strict military formation, so that Ding Wei, who originally wanted to chase the past from behind, returned in vain.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from seeing through the reality that the Second Brigade only had 10,000 people, Ding Wei did not mess around, and quickly released water to open the city gate, so that the Japanese army could evacuate smoothly.

When Ding Wei learned that there were 3,500 soldiers in the Sichuan Army before the war, and now in addition to the surviving more than 300 people, all the others have sacrificed their lives for the country, and led all the officers and men of the Second Brigade to pay the highest military salute to the Sichuan Army.

Immediately Ding Wei sent a battalion of troops to escort the remains of the survivors of the Sichuan Army and division commander Wang Mingzhang to the garrison of the 22nd Group Army, and Sun Zhen, commander-in-chief of the 22nd Group Army, saw that General Ai was killed, and could not help but cry in front of the body of General Ai, causing the officers and men of the whole army to cry together, and the scene was deeply moving.

Then Sun Zhen reported to Chang Kaishen, Li Zongren, and the Sichuan warlord Deng Xihou the news that Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 122nd Division, was martyred in Teng County.

Chang Kaishen, Li Zongren, and Deng Xihou were all extremely sad after hearing the news, and after the great victory in Taierzhuang, Mr. Li Zongren, the commander of the Fifth War Zone, even said with emotion: "If there is no Tengxian to defend to the death, how can there be a great victory in Taierzhuang?" The results of the battle of Taierzhuang were also caused by the martyrs of Shiteng County. ”

Subsequently, Wang Mingzhang was posthumously awarded the rank of army general by Chang Kaishen. His coffin arrived at Wuhan Dazhimen Railway Station on May 9, 1938, and thousands of people in Wuhan went to Yingling.

At that time, Wu Yuzhang and Dong Biwu, representatives of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and Luo Binghui, representative of the Eighth Route Army, participated in the public memorial service. The commander-in-chief entrusted Wu Yuzhang and Dong Biwu to send a couplet, in which it was written: "Fighting to defend the lonely city and seeing death as if it were home is the true character of revolutionary soldiers; We are determined to annihilate the enemy, die for the country, and win glory for the Chinese nation."

Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, and Deputy Commander Zhou jointly wrote a couplet: "The first brigade guarding the lonely city and sacrificing for the cause of national liberation is really the descendants of Yan and Huang, and it will be remembered in history; The indignation of the 10,000 people against the aggression of Japanese imperialism will bring about the destruction of the land and the rejuvenation of China. ”

On June 15, 1938, more than 80,000 people in Shudu went to Niushikou to greet the deceased, and on August 30, the loyal bones were transported to Xindu for burial. The next day, tens of thousands of people held a public memorial service in Xindu, and several planes distributed leaflets in the air promoting his deeds. Afterwards, a bronze statue of the general riding a horse was cast in Shaocheng Park in Shudu, expressing the reverence of the people of Sichuan Province for the heroes of the anti-Japanese war.
