Chapter 41: Adjustment and Defense of Teng County

After a week's rest, Zhang Mingyu received a telegram from General Li Zongren, the commander of the Fifth Theater Command, which meant that Zhang Mingyu should take his reading master to Shouteng County.

Zhang Mingyu, who received the order, immediately summoned Zhang Biao, Lai San, Wang Tiehan and others.

Soon everyone arrived, Zhang Mingyu read all the telegrams to them, and then said: "In order to open up the Tianjin-Pudong Railway and unite the northern and southern battlefields, the base camp has mobilized more than 200,000 people to carry out the north-south advance. On the order of General Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater Commander, I immediately went to the front line in Shandong to fight against the Kou!

After hearing this, everyone said in unison: "Yes!" ”

"Let's all go down and prepare! Assemble your troops! Let's go! Zhang Mingyu waved his hand.

Zhang Biao came up and said, "Master, what about the more than 20 female compatriots?" ”

"Didn't I ask you to give each of them two dollars for the Great Ocean Road to go home?" Zhang Mingyu asked.

"Master, I did everything you said, but they said that their families were killed by devils, and they were already homeless. Give them the ocean, and they don't want it. What do you say? Zhang Biao said embarrassedly.

"Leave them all behind, and send a platoon to escort them to Xuzhou!" Zhang Mingyu said with a frown.

Zhang Biao nodded and said, "This is a solution, I'll do it now." After saying that, he ran out.

Soon 3,800 soldiers were assembled, standing in a neat line outside the village, Zhang Mingyu walked out of the village with Fang Jun and other confidential personnel, put on gloves, Zhang Mingyu stood at the front of the team and said loudly: "Brothers, this time we will rush to Shandong to fight against the Kou, do you have confidence to support the Sichuan army brothers who are fighting bloody battles with devils?" ”

More than 3,000 fighters roared in unison: "Yes! ”

"Well done! All of them, turn left! March. Target Vine County. Zhang Mingyu also shouted loudly.

At this time, the station of the reading teacher was at least more than 300 miles away from Tengxian County, Shandong. On the Shandong battlefield, because Han Fuqu, deputy commander of the Fifth Theater and chairman of Shandong Province, was currently a big enemy, he was still making small calculations to preserve his strength. On December 23, after the first part of the army captured Yan'an Town and Quy Nhon Town, Han left without a fight, and on the 27th, Jinan was lost, and the army attacked Tai'an from Boshan and Laiwu. On January 1, 1938, Tai'an fell into the hands of the northern army of the Japanese army. Han Fuyu lost his ground in the mourning pond repeatedly, causing the front gate of the northern section of Jinpu Road to be opened, so that the army could drive straight along the line.

After a few days of rapid marching Zhang Mingyu finally rushed to Teng County with the Reading Division, at this time stationed in Teng County is the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, the division commander is the famous anti-Japanese general Wang Mingzhang, in the original history, General Wang Mingzhang with 3,000 Sichuan Army soldiers, at the cost of all the deaths, for General Li Zongren to buy four days, paved the way for the Battle of Taierzhuang.

As General Li Zongren later said in his memoirs: "If there is no Teng County's 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. ”

Zhang Mingyu, the hero of the resistance, is sincerely admired, he doesn't know if his arrival can change the history of Teng County, whether he can save the lives of the soldiers of the Sanqianchuan Army and the surname of Commander Wang Mingzhang, but he will definitely make the Yue army who attacked Teng County pay a painful price. Due to the arrival of Zhang Mingyu, Tengxian County has more reading divisions, and the 122nd Division will not be the fate of the whole army.

For Zhang Mingyu to bring the reader to reinforce Teng County, Wang Mingzhang personally went out of the city to greet him, and the two hugged each other when they met. ”

Zhang Mingyu said modestly: "General Wang is a hero, Mingyu has also admired the name for a long time, and the soldiers of the Sichuan army are all good!" Master Wang doesn't have to be polite, just call me Mingyu. ”

Wang Mingzhang stepped forward and hugged Zhang Mingyu's shoulders and said loudly: "Okay! Sure enough! Seeing that you should be younger than me, I will call you Brother Mingyu, and you can just call me Brother. ”

"To tell you the truth, what a beautiful job you did in Nanjing! first killed his son of a bitch, a whole formation unit, and then killed Gu Shoufu's son of a bitch, Ge Laozi is really happy. Wang Mingzhang said loudly: "It's really fucking happy to be able to fight devils with Brother Mingyu today."

Zhang Mingyu said: "Brother Wang has won the award, as a member of the party, it is the duty of my generation to defend the land and resist the enemy." Being able to fight against Yue Kou with Brother Wang, Mingyu also feels that it is a great blessing in life. ”

"Good! You and my brothers work together, and the Oriental Japanese who are raised by the son of a bitch will never come back! Wang Mingzhang said happily.

At this time, the 13th Division of the Central China Dispatch Army (reorganized from the Shanghai Dispatch Army) attacked Fengyang and Bengbu in Anhui Province, and the 31st Army of the 11th Group Army of the defending army resisted one by one according to the Chihe River, and retreated west of Dingyuan and Fengyang. By February 3, the army had captured Linhuai Pass and Bengbu. On the 9th ~ 10th, the main force of the 13th Division of the Yue Army crossed the Huai River at Bengbu and Linhuai Pass respectively and launched an attack on the north bank. The 51st Army fought a fierce battle with the Yue Army, suffered heavy casualties, and on the 12th retreated in the direction of the Lu River and the Hu River. The Fifth Theater led his troops to the aid of Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 59th Army, and advanced to the Guzhen area, where he cooperated with the 51st Army to stubbornly resist the Yue Army in the area on the north bank of the Huai River. At the same time, on the south bank of the Huai River, the 48th Army of the 21st Group Army held the Luqiao area, and the 7th Army coordinated with the 31st Army to attack the flank of the Dingyuan Yue Army in a roundabout way, and forced the main force of the 13th Division of the Yue Army to return from the north bank of the Huai River. The 59th and 51st armies took advantage of the situation to counterattack and restored all positions north of the Huai River by early March. The 21st Army and the 31st Army were concentrated from the south bank of the Huai River to the north bank. The two sides confronted each other across the river.

In late February, the 2nd Army began to divide into the south. The 5th Division of the East Road went south from Weixian County, Shandong Province, and now Weifang City, and fell into Yishui, Juxian, and Yuezhao in succession, and went straight to Linyi. The 3rd Army Corps, the 40th Army and other units resisted step by step. The 59th Army was ordered to rush to the rescue, and on March 12, it arrived at the west bank of the Yi River in the northern suburbs of Linyi, and coordinated with the 40th Army to carry out a counterattack, fighting fiercely for 5 days and nights, severely inflicting heavy losses on the Yue Army, and forcing it to retreat to Ju County. The Nagase detachment (equivalent to a brigade) of the 10th Division of the Western Route Army (division commander Ryosuke Isotani) crossed the canal from the west of the Jining area and attacked Jiaxiang, but was stubbornly resisted by the 3rd Army and the attack was frustrated; The Seya detachment (equivalent to a brigade) marched south along the Jinpu Railway, and on March 14 attacked Tengxian (present-day Tengzhou) from Liangxiadian, south of Zou County (present-day Zoucheng).

At this time, the outer position of Tengxian County has become a solid fortress after Zhang Mingyu's design, Zhang Mingyu's reading division guards the periphery of Tengxian County, Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division guards the city, and the 124th Division responds outside the city. At this time, the 10th Division of the Chinese Army was storming the outlying position of the 45th Army in Liujipo, Zhang Mingyu left Zhang Biao, Lai San took the 1st and 2nd regiments to stay in the outlying positions of Tengxian County, and he rushed to the front line with the cavalry battalion to support.

On the other hand, Ban Heng Zhengshilang led the Fifth Division to attack Linyi, and General Li Zongren ordered Pang Bingxun's corps to block the Fifth Division in Linyi.
