Chapter 31: The Offensive and Defensive Battle of Qiyakou (1)
"Whew......"
"Boom, boom......"
Listen to the sound of gunfire and shell explosions coming from all around. Tang Xingshang asked: "Brother Yu, the fight ahead is so lively, when can we go up?!" ”
Hong Yu took out a piece of beef jerky, quietly stuffed it to Tang Xingshang, and asked, "What?!" Can't stand it?! ”
Tang Xingshang took the beef jerky and stuffed it into his mouth, and nodded heavily. Hong Yu stretched out his hand and patted Tang Xingshang on the shoulder, and just when he wanted to tease Tang Xingshang and help him relieve his pressure, Lin Jun walked in front of Hong Yu. Hong Yu just wanted to stand up and salute, Lin Jun reached out and pressed Hong Yu's shoulder, sat down, and asked, "How do you feel when you go to the battlefield for the first time?!" ”
Hong Yu looked at Tang Xingshang and the other companions around him, and said, "Company commander, I don't have anything." But I'm afraid they won't be able to survive. ”
"yes!" Lin Jun sighed and said, "Our teaching corps is a demonstration force. General Zhang will not transfer us until the last resort. Saying that, Lin Jun changed his words and said, "But you can rest assured." The little devils are constantly increasing their troops, and in order to hold Shanghai, we will go into battle sooner or later. Don't be scared to pee your pants! ”
"Double-seated!" As soon as Lin Jun's words fell, the old cat hurriedly ran over. Lin Jun asked, "What's the matter?!" ”
The old cat said: "The order has been given from above, and we will teach the corps to go to Qiyakou to set up defenses to prevent the Japanese army from landing." The captain of the corps personally named us and made our company the vanguard of the whole corps. ”
"Good!" Lin Jun responded, looked at Hong Yu and the enlisted students sitting next to him, and said, "Don't you want to go to the battlefield?!" Here's your chance, make the most of your 10 months of training! Perhaps this battle is the beginning and the end of your life. But you have to remember that you are fighting for your country, for your nation! Then Lin Jun instructed Hong Yu: "You are enlisted students, different from other soldiers. Give each of you five minutes to write a suicide note. If you die in battle, it can be regarded as an explanation to your family. ”
"Yes!" Hong Yu answered and watched Lin Jun leave.
After a night of traveling, the next morning, the teaching team rushed to Qiyakou near Taicang. The soldiers of the teaching corps were not allowed to rest, and the order to build the fortifications was given again. Qiyakou is located on the edge of the Yangtze River and is very rich in groundwater. It didn't take long to dig before the groundwater bubbled up. The warriors dug trenches and scooped water out. After a whole day of busy work, the position finally looked a little better.
The people of Qiya Village and Yajiang Village near Qiyakou heard that the Central Army came here to stop the little devils. They took out their family's food and sent it to the position.
"Sister, why are you here?!" Hong Yu sat in the trench, nibbling on the already yellowed steamed buns that had just been delivered by the cooking class, and immediately stood up when he saw Doctor Lin coming not far away.
Doctor Lin glanced at the soldiers around Hong Yu and said, "Before the little devil comes, I'll come and see how your situation is." By the way, the resident hospital is now a field hospital, and the location is not far behind you, Qiya Village. ”
"Bang, bang......"
As soon as Doctor Lin's words fell, there were several muffled loud sneezes from the Yangtze River, and then the sound of cannonballs flying and rubbing against the air was heard in the sky.
"Lie down!" Hong Yu screamed and threw Doctor Lin down under him.
"Boom ......" It didn't take long for a series of shells to explode around the position. Taking advantage of the explosion of the shell, Lin Jun ran over and yelled at Hong Yu: "Hong Yu, the battalion orders your squad to be responsible for the safety of Doctor Lin from now on." ”
"Yes!" Hong Yu responded, pulled up Doctor Lin, and said, "Brothers! Come with me! ”
The Japanese naval guns repeatedly "tidy up" the positions of the teaching corps along the coast of Qiyakou with shells as if they were ploughing. After shelling for a whole morning, a little after one o'clock in the afternoon, small boats appeared on the Yangtze River.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Japanese army has begun to land!"
Hearing the observer's report, the general captain Tang Guangji put down his binoculars and asked, "Find out which unit of the hi devils who fought with us?!" ”
Chief of Staff Zhang Duo replied: "It's the 11th Division of the Japanese Army. ”
"The 11th Division is the standing division of the Japanese Army. It's hard to deal with! Zhu Zonghai, deputy of the corps, muttered softly and looked at Tang Guangji. Tang Guangji said coldly: "If it's not easy to deal with, you have to deal with it!" Even if you knock your front teeth, you can swallow them! ”
Zhu Zonghai thought about it and couldn't help but persuade: "Captain, we have no problem fighting with devils." However, if the old book is exhausted, it will be difficult to explain it to the chairman. ”
Tang Guangji replied coldly: "I am a soldier, not a politician!" I only need to be worthy of the country and the people. Why do you need to explain to him Jiang someone?! ”
(Note: From January 1931 to early March 1932, the general captain of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps was Tang Guangji; From March 1932 to August of the same year, the general captain was Zhu Zonghai; From September 1932 to the end of May 1933, the general captain was Zhang Luhe; From June 1933 to 1938, the general captain was Gui Yongqing. )
"Captain!" Zhu Zonghai looked at Tang Guangji with a worried expression.
Tang Guangji patted Zhu Zonghai's shoulder and said meaningfully: "Brother, I know that you are worried about me. But now it has come to the critical juncture of the country's ruin. We are soldiers, and we should not think about our personal safety and future. I know what the consequences of this decision today will be. Don't worry, brother, I'll take all the responsibility alone. ”
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Japanese landing ship has entered the range of our artillery."
Tang Guangji raised his binoculars to look at the situation on the river, and said in a cold voice: "Order the mountain artillery company to concentrate firepower on me!" ”
"Half-crossed! This branch is not bad, that commander! Lieutenant General Yamamuro Munetake, commander of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, stood on the deck of the warship and looked at the situation along the coast of Qiyakou with a telescope, with a faint smile on his face.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander!" The chief of staff, Katamura Forty-eight Dazuo, said respectfully: "Even if the branch has been prepared for a long time, but in the face of the sharp artillery fire of our empire, everything is a chicken. ”
"I want the West!" Lieutenant General Yamamuro looked at the landing force slowly approaching the shore with a confident expression, stroked the very neatly trimmed Danhu under his nose, and then said: "As long as we complete the front and rear attacks, we will completely annihilate the branches of Shanghai." We can coerce the government to surrender without a fight. ”
"Camp! The devils are starting to land! ”
Leng Guofeng held the binoculars and looked at the Japanese troops who had begun to land not far away, his heart slowly calmed down, he pulled out the shell gun placed on his waist, turned on the nose of the gun, and silently calculated the speed of the devil's movement in his heart.
"Two hundred meters, one hundred and eighty meters...... Fifty meters, thirty meters" Just when the devil was less than twenty meters away from the position, Leng Guofeng casually gave a shot to the devil officer holding the command knife, and shouted loudly: "Fight!" ”
With Leng Guofeng's order, the dense bullets rained down on the little devils who rushed over. In the blink of an eye, the little devils who rushed in front fell down one after another like dominoes.
Looking at the soldiers who were retreating, Yamamuro Munetake's face no longer had the confident smile on his face just now, and he said to the attendants beside him with a cold face: "Please strengthen the naval suppression of the firepower of the branch." At the same time, the 12th Wing was ordered to intensify the landing. Be sure to complete the establishment of the beachhead before dark. ”
"Hey!" The squire answered, turned and left. ……
Joint command of the 19th Route Army and the 5th Army.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
The confidential staff officer appeared in front of General Zhang with a telegram and said: "The 11th Division of the Japanese Army forcibly landed at Qiyakou at about 1 p.m. Currently at war. ”
When General Zhang heard the words of the confidential staff officer, he quickly found the location of Qiyakou on the map and said, "The appetite of the little devil is really big! ”
Jiang Guang Nai said with a wry smile: "Now most of our troops are pinned down by the Japanese 9th Division and the Kurume Brigade on the front line of Jiangwan and Miaohang, if the Japanese army completes the landing, it will be able to threaten our army's entire defense line from behind." The little devil's trick is vicious! ”
Cai Tingkai looked at the map interface and said, "Yes! We don't have any reserves on our hands now. It's all up to them. Are we going to send a telegram to the teaching corps to make the situation clear?! ”
General Zhang thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "I believe in Tang Guangji and the soldiers of the Teaching Corps. They will definitely be able to hold their ground. ”
At 17 o'clock in the afternoon, Qiyakou, the position of the sergeant camp.
"Whew......"
"Boom ......"
"Why did you get up?!" Lin Jun saw Hong Yu who suddenly appeared next to him, and asked while pulling the trigger.
Hong Yu took out two steamed buns and an egg from the basket on the ground and stuffed them into Lin Jun's hand, and said, "In the artillery fire just now, all the cooking class except Lao Zhangtou was killed. Our class is now replacing the cooking class and helping Lao Zhangtou deliver food to you. ”
"That's it! Your food has been delivered, go down! With that, Lin Jun stuffed the steamed buns and eggs into his pocket, picked up a grenade from the side, pulled out the string and threw it out.
Hong Yu raised his gun and shot the two devil soldiers, and said, "I'll go down first!" My sister told me to tell you to be careful! ”
"I see! Don't be so verbose, go down! With that, Lin Jun thrust the shell gun into his waist, pushed away the corpse of the soldier on the side, picked up the Czech light machine gun pressed under the corpse of the fallen soldier, and fired at the little devil who came up.
"Battalion Commander Leng!"
Hearing the shout, Leng Guofeng turned his head to look over, saw the herald who suddenly appeared behind him, and asked, "Why are you here?!" ”
The herald took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Leng Guofeng, saying, "This is the order of the chief captain. ”
Leng Guofeng took the paper in the herald's hand, opened it and quickly read the contents of the warrant, handed it to Mao Guomi, who was standing on the side, and said to the herald: "Go back and tell the captain that we promise to complete the task." ”
"Yes!" The herald answered, and walked away quickly.
After the herald left, Mao Guomi, who had read the contents of the warrant, frowned and said: "The captain asked us to blow up the devil's warship, this is a mission from which there is no return!" You have to think about it! ”
