Chapter 54: Sichuan Army, 26th Division!

Wuxi, Xizhang.

The troops quietly ambushed in Xizhang, and all the people did not dare to make a sound.

"Shizao, no, the siege of the Orientals is too tight, if you want to rush to Jiangyin, the road ahead is full of Oriental troops!"

Zhu Zaitang, commander of the 26th Brigade of the 76th Division of the Sichuan Army, ran over and said breathlessly.

Liu Yuqing, commander of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army, frowned tightly: "There is no opening at all?" ”

"Nope!" Zhu Zaitang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I personally went up to reconnoitre, the artillery fire in the direction of Jiangyin was continuous, day and night, and it seemed that the fighting there was very fierce." I really couldn't find a way to break through. ”

Liu Yuqing lit a cigarette and puffed out a puff of smoke.

The situation is already very critical.

Since withdrawing from the Songhu battlefield and being ordered to Yixing for rest, the 26th Division has somewhat recovered its vitality after being replenished.

But the army advanced too fast, and Wuxi lost too quickly. His own 26th Division became a lone army in an instant.

After the fall of Wuxi, he was ordered to command the 26th Division to break through and rush to the direction of Jiangyin to participate in the defense of Jiangyin. It was not a long road from Yixing to Jiangyin, and his 26th Division actually engaged more than ten times with the Yue Army.

It was easy to rush all the way to Xizhang, Wuxi, seeing that Jiangyin was in sight, who would have thought that there was no way ahead.

Liu Yuqing handed the remaining half of the cigarette in his hand to Chief of Staff Cai Yushi: "What should I do?" ”

Cai Yushi took the cigarette and took two puffs fiercely: "There is no way forward, there are chasing soldiers behind, and along the way, the brothers are already exhausted." Seeing that it is dawn, the Orientals who are chasing behind will catch up, and then we will be dead. Master, I think we have to rush over tonight, this is our only chance! ”

"Suddenly!" Liu Yuqing gritted his teeth: "Resolutely stand out!" ”

Then he hesitated, looked at the officer next to him, who to choose as the captain of the commando?

"It would be nice if Gao Fei was here," Liu Yuqing suddenly said to himself.

There was bitterness on everyone's faces.

Most of the officers of the 26th Division were killed in battle. Gao Fei, after withdrawing from the big field, what the division never forgot was Gao Fei.

The one who was not afraid of death, and as soon as the order was given, he rushed upwards with the screams of his brothers!

"I'll take someone to rush it myself." Zhu Zaitang said suddenly.

"You?" Liu Yuqing hesitated.

Zhu Zaitang is one of the few remaining officers in the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army, and Liu Yuqing is really reluctant.

"Master's seat." Zhu Zaitang saw what the division was thinking, and smiled lightly: "My company commander, battalion commander, and regiment commander have all been thrown in the big field, and now this batch of officers has just been promoted from the survivors of the 26th Division, and most of them have no command experience, I don't rush, who else can take on this responsibility?" ”

"Zaitang, please!" Liu Yuqing patted Zhu Zaitang's shoulder hard: "I assigned your 76th Brigade as the commando team, and took advantage of the night to sneak attack the position of the Yue Army, and tear a hole for the main force of the 26th Division in the follow-up!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Zaitang saluted a military salute dignifiedly.

Zhu Zaitang knew the mission he was shouldering, he took the flower mechanism handed by his subordinates, and waved his hand vigorously: "The 76th Brigade is all with me!" ”

The Sichuan soldiers of the brigade, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, quietly touched the position of the army.

However, the importance that the army attaches to night battles, as well as the precautions for night battles and their night battle equipment, is not something that these poorly equipped Sichuan army brothers can imagine!

The searchlights on the positions of the army kept searching back and forth, shining as if it were day. If you want to quietly touch the position, it is simply impossible.

And those sentries who are in charge of standing guard will also constantly fire a string of bullets at the front line, which will be used to test and intimidate any troops who try to approach and sneak attack the position!

Zhu Zaitang's eyes were on fire, although he had fought with the army troops countless times in Dachang, the army's excellent equipment and high quality of prevention were far beyond his imagination.

Gritting his teeth, he called the new commander of the 151st regiment: "Zhang Shandan, take your regiment, touch it from the right flank, try not to let the Orientals find out, once exposed, rush up for me!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Shandan replied in a low voice.

The Sichuan army brothers of a regiment began to quietly approach the position of the army.

Just after crawling forward, several searchlights of the army shone towards this, and suddenly, the brothers of the 151st regiment were clearly illuminated under the searchlights.

The machine guns on the positions of the Japanese army opened fire violently, and then all the firing points opened fire together. The Sichuan army brothers, who were exposed to the searchlight, had no way to hide, and suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

The dense network of light and heavy machine guns blocked the assault road of the 151st Regiment, and as soon as the brothers raised their heads, they would be hit by a rain of bullets.

"Withdraw! Remove! Zhang Shandan had to give such an order.

However, the dozens of brothers who climbed at the front were controlled by machine-gun fire, and there was no possibility of withdrawing at all.

"Commander, go, go! Leave the ladies alone! A brother turned around and shouted.

"Commander, next year, remember to help the old men go to the grave!" Another brother cried out, he raised his grenade and stood up suddenly:

"Turtle sons, grandpa is here to fight hard!"

As soon as he pulled the fuse, he rushed forward, but all the machine gun bullets hit him. With a "boom", a wisp of loyal soul fluttered forever over the position!

"Turtle sons, grandpa is here to fight hard!" Another Sichuan army brother stood up with a grenade! Then, all the brothers who were blocked by the army stood up!

Each of them held a grenade in their hands, braved the enemy's bullet rain, held a grenade burning with green smoke, and rushed forward without hesitation!

One brother after another fell, and one explosion after another rang out!

Twenty-eight brothers, twenty-eight loyal souls of the Sichuan army, none of them are afraid to retreat!

They stumbled forward, bullets hitting them, and they didn't feel anything at all. At the moment of falling, they also tried their best to rush forward a few steps!

Die, and let the grenade explode in front of the enemy's position!

Twenty-eight loud bangs are the departure of twenty-eight young lives!

Twenty-eight loyal souls are the most tragic roar of the Sichuan army on the frontal battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War!

There is no official document to record their names, but the brothers of the Sichuan Army, and all the unsung heroes who bravely sacrificed their lives on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, they will never be forgotten!

Forgetting is tantamount to betrayal!
