readx; "Master, I said that I came in in a big way!"

"Division, lost contact with the troops!"

The continuous sound made Wang Mingzhang extremely calm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this point, I don't care about anything anymore. Victory, defeat, or death have done the duty of a soldier.

Wang Mingzhang suddenly smiled faintly: "Brothers, are you ready?" ”

The brothers all nodded, and the chief of the guard, Li Shaokun, suddenly cried bitterly, beating his chest again and again: "Master, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you."

Wang Mingzhang smiled indifferently: "It's the same resistance, what's worth sorry for?" Wang Mingzhang was ordered to defend Teng County, although the reinforcements did not arrive, but all my officers and soldiers have done their best, and now they are saying that they will die for the country, and they will die as they deserve, and they will die quickly! ”

The sound of gunfire has spread throughout the city of Teng County

The army has entered the city in a big way, and there are troops everywhere inside and outside Teng County.

Out of Xiguan and the railway, it is an open wheat field. The stragglers who had broken through the city were fleeing westward through here, and the Japanese army continued to bombard the wheat field with artillery fire, especially an air-blown submunition with the most lethal effect, which exploded 20 meters above the ground, and shot a large number of steel balls to kill ground targets.

The open wheat fields were littered with the corpses of our fallen soldiers, and the army continued to charge at us with tanks and guerrillan cavalry. The stragglers were almost unarmed, and those who did had almost no ammunition, and were slaughtered almost with their bare hands.

Fortunately, the area around the railway station is still under the control of Xiong Shunyi's camp and Lu Gaoxuan's camp. The two battalions placed a large number of cluster grenades in the trench in front of the station to attack the tanks and armored vehicles of the Devils, and built strong fortifications with sandbags, salt packets and houses at the station, and dug many trenches on the perimeter. Xiong Shunyi's battalion guarded the station, and Lu Gaoxuan's battalion guarded the periphery, and the two battalions of defenders desperately resisted here, blocking the repeated attacks of the army's tanks, cavalry, and infantry, and covering the retreat of the officers and soldiers who had taken the road from the city to the west.

After dusk, the city was still fighting for itself. As it got late, the enemy stopped attacking, and they were afraid of the broadsword in the hands of the Sichuan soldiers, which glistened in the moonlight.

The soldiers who were fighting in the streets of the city withdrew from the city, and the enemy on the city wall was completely encircled, and the devils lit a pile of fires on the city wall. He said that he was very shrewd, and they avoided the short-handed encounters of blood-splashed soldiers at night, and only surrounded the county seat, and waited until dawn to calmly wipe out the whole city.

A chill brought Lu Kang to his senses again. Some of the soldiers came back, and they comforted their brigade commander by saying that they would rush out with him in the middle of the night. Lu Kang wanted to speak, but he didn't open his mouth, and only waved to the soldiers, meaning that you don't care about me, you rush out and escape by yourself. But the soldiers shook their heads and said, "Brigade commander, you have a good rest here for a while, and we will go to explore the road and be on guard now, and we will come back later."

The wound hurt like a knife, but his mind was still clear, one eye was blurred, and the other eye saw the cold stars twinkling in the sky through the smoke drifting in the wind. Except for the audible sound of gunfire and explosions, the land began to fall silent, as if this was not a battlefield, and it was back in the countryside of his homeland.

"Master Wang, I don't know what happened to them?" Lu Kang's thoughts returned to reality, and the day's experiences flashed through his mind like some pictures

"I heard some soldiers say, did you see that the people in the headquarters went up to the city wall and rushed out? I don't know what happened to the tax collector after he left the city? He had always been sick and unfit to run, and there were only a dozen or so men with them, and if they encountered the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

The picture returns to himself, the two bullets in his head seem to be badly wounded, and although the brothers are willing to save him, there is no hope of survival in the perilous city. The horse leather shroud on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War was the glorious destination of the revolutionary soldiers, and the wish in this life is enough.

If that's the case, I'm most sorry for my wife. In late February, his wife made a special trip from Chengdu to Teng County to visit her, but that was exactly the day when she took the 740th Regiment to deploy defense and guerrilla warfare in the area of Shiqiang Village. When she returned to the county seat from Shiqiang this time, his wife had already left Teng County to go back. We may never see each other again. If I knew this, I should have come back at that time.

After thinking about his wife, his thoughts flew to his hometown in Xinxing Township, Shuangliu County.

His parents were diligent and thrifty in studying heirlooms, and after sending themselves to private school since childhood, they were admitted to Chengdu Shimuro Middle School. After graduating, he went east to study in this country, and then dropped out of school and returned to China due to the decline of his family's financial situation and his inability to help. Seeing the poor fortune of the country, and taking the rich country and strong army as an example, he decided to take martial arts as the way to save the country, and was determined to put pen to paper, but on the way back to China, he was admitted to the eighth phase of the Baoding Military Academy. Because of the excellent results, the armies in central Sichuan vied for help, so from Tian Songyao, Sun Zhen's department, from the major to at least the general, the "77" incident asked Ying to resist the war and so far. Thinking of this, Lu Kang silently said to his parents thousands of miles away in his heart:

"As a soldier, my son is loyal to the country, and it is his duty to be loyal to the country, and he can't have both loyalty and filial piety."

"Bang bang bang" A burst of gunfire came, Lu Kang listened carefully, the gunfire was far away, and the trajectory was also high. He thought of his brothers again, since leaving Sichuan, the whole brigade has participated in the two great battles of Jindong and Lunan, and the tragedy of the war has never been imagined, and the nearly 6,000 brothers he brought out of Sichuan have been injured nine out of ten. Countless brothers have been reduced to rotting corpses and bones, and countless brothers are lying among the broken walls. Perhaps, in a little while, I will meet these brothers on the road to Quantai, and I will not be lonely and miserable. If you can stay with these brothers of your own, you will have no regrets in this life and this life.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps interrupted Lu Kang's thoughts. In the middle of the night, a group of soldiers came back and said to him: "Brigade commander, we have reconnoitred clearly. There are not many devils at the North Gate, so we rushed out from the North Gate! ”

After that, a soldier carried Lu Kang on his back and came to the north gate to hide. The group of soldiers quietly approached the tower, and the sound of machine guns suddenly rang out in the firelight, and the soldiers charged. Soon, the devils at the North Gate were wiped out, and 22 soldiers of our army were killed.

When the enemy outside the city found that the city gate was lost, they immediately bombarded the city tower and the city gate with flat-fire guns, but they did not know that this fierce artillery fire actually blasted a big hole in the city gate and the sandbags blocked in the hole! The remaining thirty-two soldiers protected Lu Kang and quickly rushed out of the hole.

Lu Kang and the others went out of the city gate, and they didn't go far when they encountered two tanks blocking the front. The soldiers escorted Lu Kang in a panic, turned left and right, and originally planned to go west, but went north to Beishahe. Unexpectedly, this was another crooked attack, and the rear of this devil's front was empty. So the march quickened rapidly, and went west at dawn to reach the Weishan Lake.

On the shore of Weishan Lake, the cavalry of the same group of devils encountered, and the two sides rushed and killed, and six more brothers were killed. The remaining 24 soldiers protected Lu Kang, fighting and retreating. At this moment, a small boat was rocked out of the reeds, and as soon as the owner saw Lu Kang, he immediately shouted, "Brigade commander get on board."

This is just like the heroes in the reeds in Shuibo Liang Mountain. It turned out that the 370 Brigade was stationed here and fought for nearly three months, and Lu Kang often propagandized and walked among the people, and there were many acquaintances, and the army and the people were deeply dependent on each other. The owner of the ship is one of them.

Later, Lu Kang's injuries worsened, his head was swollen like a bucket, he fell unconscious, and he was transferred to Hankou Hospital. However, when he was sent to two hospitals in Hankow, the doctors thought that he would die and refused to be treated. At this time, Mrs. Lu also rushed to Hankou and picked up the phone to find Chen Cheng, head of the Political Department of the Military Commission, because Chen Cheng was Lu Kang's classmate in the eighth phase of the Baoding Military Academy, and he had a very good past. Chen Cheng said that he was admitted to Xiehe Hospital and shared a room with Chen Li.

Unexpectedly, Lu Kang miraculously got better in the hospital. After recovering, Lu Kang was appointed commander of the New Fifth Division and continued to fight on the front lines of the Anti-Japanese War.

Wang Jiangping, secretary of the 122nd Division, supplemented the battle in Yan Yi Battalion. Later, he fought with the remnants of Yan Yi's battalion at the West City Gate. After dusk, the fighting in the city gradually stopped, and more than a few hundred stragglers gathered in the area of Xicheng, and everyone automatically grouped together, first ambushed near the first well lane, ready to fight with the enemy when they searched for him.

Later, everyone discussed taking advantage of the night to break out of the encirclement, so they hid to the north, and then Cai Zheng led dozens of remnants to join. Under the leadership of battalion commander Cai Zheng, deputy battalion commander Hou Ziping, and special service platoon commanders Cai Deyun and Wang Jiangping, these soldiers divided into two teams, and fought at the north gate, and finally broke out of the encirclement and retreated to the south. After walking for more than 20 miles, the enemy's gunfire gradually moved away, and everyone was tired and walked with difficulty, and when they arrived at a place called Shijia Village, they stopped to count the number of people, and there were still 235 of these brothers.

Wang Zhexian, the commander of the machine gun company that held out in the northern section of the western city wall, was originally responsible for maintaining traffic at the intersection in the center of the city, and later the whole company was under the command of Lu Kang at the west gate. After the people of the command headquarters took the city, Wang Zhexian led the remnants to hold on to the city wall. After the army in the north captured the corner of the northwest city wall, the army that converged with the west city tower attacked Wang Zhexian and others at the same time, Wang Zhexian and others ran out of ammunition, seeing that the enemy soldiers were coming, Zhang Xiong, the leader of the same squad, and several other soldiers jumped off the city wall six or seven meters high and broke through to Xiguan!

Finally crossed Weishan Lake and returned to Xia Town at the southern end of Weishan Lake.

About 200 soldiers and wounded broke out of the city, and after running in the middle of the night, they were extremely tired, and when they arrived at Weishan Lake and waited for the boat, they fell asleep on the shore of the lake. At about 10 o'clock the next day, the enemy's cavalry and tanks rushed in, and the officers and men were caught off guard, and they were killed and wounded. Seeing that there was no way out, Wu Jingwen and others, the commander of the 10th Company, turned over and jumped into the icy Weishan Lake, and died in their lives.

Ye Guangwen, the acting platoon commander of Yan Yi's battalion, a native of Chengdu, graduated from the Mianyang Military Academy of the 41st Army and was sent to serve as a clerical sergeant in the second battalion of the Wang Wenzhen Regiment of the 122nd Division Tongcheng Brigade.

On March 15, when the Tong Cheng Brigade returned to the county seat, Yan Yi's first battalion walked at the head of the team. Ye Guangwen's third battalion walked behind. At that time, the paperwork of the troops was much freer than that of the soldiers, and they generally did not carry a gun, but only a wooden board that could be used as a table, and on one side of the board there was a bag made of cloth where paper and pen could be placed. During the march, Ye Guangwen left his third battalion and walked to the ranks of Yan Yi's battalion, talking with the two sergeants who graduated at the same time. When the troops came out of the mountains and encountered the enemy at the Dongsha River, the team was cut into two sections, and Ye Guangwen was blocked in the Yan Yi camp.

Yan Yiying was ordered to garrison Dongguan, and during the battle, Ye Guangwen was appointed acting platoon commander. Ye Guangwen is a very charismatic figure, and the soldiers are willing to rally around him. On the 17th, after the East City Gate was lost, more than 20 brothers gathered around Ye Guangwen, including more than 10 seriously injured. After dark, the battle stopped, Ye Guangwen took these brothers, supported each other, touched a fairly intact house at the south gate to rest, and planned to discuss how to get out of the city at night.

Unbeknownst to everyone, after arriving at this room, a gray-haired old man came out of the air-raid shelter. When the old man saw these Sichuan soldiers, he was extremely enthusiastic, helped arrange rest, and cooked and ate together. Later, after learning about the intentions of Ye Guangwen and others, he said: "The situation outside is unknown, you don't have to go out first, wait for me to go out first to inquire about the situation, explore the truth, and then come back to see how it is." ”

After a while, the old man came back and said that he could not go out at the south gate, and that he was surrounded by enemy horsemen. Also find a place in the southeast direction, the city wall is low from the ground, and there are no devils on it. Now everyone wait for a while, and when all the devils on the city wall are asleep, I will take you out.

When Ye Guangwen and others heard it, they were grateful and happy in their hearts. But when I saw that there were more than a dozen brothers who were seriously injured, I felt embarrassed again. If you want to climb the city wall, you must also beware of the devil discovering that even ordinary people have difficulties, not to mention the seriously injured who are not easy to move. Ye Guangwen discussed with his two classmates for a while, walked up to these wounded, and wanted to tell them about their decision, but he couldn't open his mouth for nothing.

One of the wounded said: "Platoon Commander Ye, don't say it, we will know what to do when the time comes." After speaking, he pointed to the grenade hanging on his body.

After midnight, the old man took Ye Guangwen and his party to a city wall, and sure enough, there were no devils.

In the distance, the devil was lighting piles of bonfires on the city wall, not noticing this side at all. They climbed up the wall with light hands and feet, and then tied the battlements with their leggings and tumbled down from the wall. The old man untied his leggings from the city wall and threw them down, then disappeared into the darkness. Ye Guangwen and the others also left in a hurry, and later returned to Hanzhuang on the south bank of the canal, returned to the battlefield, and participated in the battle of Taierzhuang.

The next day, March 18, the devil entered the city and searched and cleared the whole city room by room.

Gunfire and grenade explosions rang out again in the city. It was the remaining stragglers and wounded soldiers in the city making a last-ditch effort and blowing themselves up with grenades.

Although the army entered the city in a big way, the battle in the city was still not over.

Not far from Tengxian, a force composed entirely of trucks and others was reinforcing in the direction of Tengxian at full speed.

At this time, Goofy did not know that history had changed at this moment!
