February 7, 11 o'clock.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"

"Well done, Tanno-kun!" Kunizaki Noboru said with full appreciation: "In Maocun, you completely defeated the elite 26th Division of China, completely overwhelmed their fighting spirit, and at present, the 26th Division of China is being routed to the front line of Kouziling. I have already received a telegram from General Sakagaki that I must completely annihilate the 26th Division! ”

"Hello!" Takano Koichi bowed his head, and then said: "But in the battle with the 26th Division, we also suffered considerable casualties!" ”

Kunizaki Deng's eyes were cold, and he nodded after a long time: "The more this is the case, the greater the responsibility placed on us." I heard that millions of Sichuan troops are fighting against the empire, and the 26th Division is one of their representatives, and only by completely annihilating this army can we deal a severe blow to the Chinese army in terms of morale and confidence."

said there, pausing slightly: "Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of an army that has been crippled, we"

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander"

Suddenly, a young man hurried over, with some panic on his face.

"What's the panic?" Kunizaki Noboru frowned with some dissatisfaction: "As a soldier, no matter what happens, you can't panic!" ”

"Hello! However, according to aerial reconnaissance, a large number of Chinese troops are moving on our flank! ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, urgent telegram!" Another officer ran over: "Behind me, tens of thousands of that army appeared!" ”

Noboru Kunisaki's face gradually became ugly, and he began to feel faintly bad in his heart.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, urgent telegram!" The young man who had been reprimanded by Kunizaki Deng before came again, and the panic could not be concealed, but at this time he was no longer afraid of the brigade commander scolding: "Aircraft reconnaissance, a large number of Shina troops appeared in front of us, on both flanks, and in the rear!" ”

Siege, this is a siege!

Noboru Kunisaki finally understands his situation and falls into a huge trap!

But before he could react, an earth-shattering cannon suddenly rang out.

The cannonballs landed accurately in the ranks of the army, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew sideways, stumps and broken arms continued to fly in the air, and wails and screams could be heard everywhere.

It's messy, in the midst of such a sudden shelling, the army is completely in chaos!

Just before the officer of the army could react, a phone call came from the front: "Our unit is being attacked, it is being attacked!" ”

"A large number of Chinese troops are everywhere, and we are fighting hard!"

"The people of China are all people of China! The offensive is fierce, the offensive is fierce! ”

Noboru Kunisaki's face was pale, and he stood there, motionless. The hand holding the command knife seems to have used a lot of strength to stabilize his hand.

Encircle, surround!

However, it is too late to react now

In the 27th year of the Republic of China, on February 7, 1938, after continuous luring of the enemy, the 23rd Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army recaptured Yijiang Town, cut off the retreat of the Yue Army, and completed the encirclement of the "Steel Army" of the Yue Army, the elite Fifth Division's Brigade Commander Kunizaki Deng, and the Tian Ye Wing in the line from Yijiang Town to Kouziling!

At the same time, with the help of artillery fire, the big offensive began!

The goal is to annihilate the elite of the army dominated by the Kunisaki Brigade!

This is the first time that the National Revolutionary Army, which has been passively defending since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, has carried out a large-scale encirclement battle, and the first to launch an annihilation attack on an elite unit of the army!

Regardless of the outcome, history, already started by the 23 Army!

And all this is because of the appearance of a person, a little person who should not belong to this era:

Major Battalion Commander of the 23rd Battalion of the 151st Regiment of the 26th Division of the 26th Division of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China:

Goofy!

This was a bold battle plan proposed by Gao Fei, and before that, no one dared to think of annihilating an entire army brigade!

Moreover, it is to take the initiative!

Similarly, the first to fire the first shot of this great annihilation battle was also Gao Fei and his 3rd battalion!

All because of the appearance of Goofy!

Gao Fei came, Gao Fei fought, and when Gao Fei appeared on the battlefield in Shanghai from the first minute, he had already regarded himself as a person of this era from beginning to end.

Kill yourself and become a benevolent, no regrets!

He is just a minor major battalion commander, but it is this major battalion commander who has reversed history little by little through his unremitting efforts.

Maybe he can't change everything, but every small success can always bring surprises to people, but after the accumulation of small successes, the big glory will inevitably come!

It's Goofy's first big win in his career, but it won't be the last

At this time, Noboru Kunisaki, who had completely fallen into the encirclement, quickly forced himself to calm down after surviving the initial panic.

Things have already happened, panicking will only cause more uneasiness and panic among his subordinates, as the commander of more than 20,000 emperors, what he has to think about is how to get rid of the current passive situation as soon as possible.

The Yue army, which was dominated by the Kunizaki Noboru Brigade, was the elite of the Yue army after all, and just like their brigade commander, after surviving the panic, they quickly threw themselves into resistance.

While building fortifications on the spot, desperately blocking the attacks of the [***] team, they constantly launched small counterattacks in an attempt to find a breakthrough.

"Send a telegram to the division commander, we are surrounded by the Chinese army, but we are currently resisting stubbornly!" Watching the soldiers busy running around and listening to the explosions that kept ringing in their ears, Kunisaki Noboru said coldly:

"The enemy has seized Yijiang Town and cut off our army's retreat, but our department can still hold on at present, please send reinforcements from the division commander to open up the lifeline from Xihe Town to Yijiang Town and protect our army's retreat! At the same time, ask for more aircraft bombing! ”

The sound of gunfire and explosions rang out deafeningly, and Noboru Kunisaki, who had been blown up several times, could not stand. But Noboru Kunisaki was not afraid, he firmly believed that he would be able to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements!

As a soldier of the empire, you must have a firm belief!

"Extra! Extra! I, [***], the 23rd Group Army, surrounded more than 20,000 people of the elite Fifth Division of the Yue Army! ”

"Extra! Extra! It is said that the annihilation of the military Kunizaki Brigade is imminent! ”

A few hours after the offensive of the 23rd Army, such cries rang out simultaneously on the streets of major cities.

This was carefully planned by Tang Zun and Zhou Conghua after many discussions. After the offensive broke out, a telegram with a detailed battle report flew to the desks of the editors-in-chief of the major newspapers!

Let the people of the whole country know that I am not terrible, and the Sichuan army is fighting on the front line!

There are too many grievances and unfair treatment suffered by the Sichuan army, and this time is the best opportunity to raise your eyebrows!

The hurried citizens in the street stopped abruptly, as if they didn't believe what they had heard. In a few moments, almost all the newspapers were snatched up!

"At 11 o'clock on February 7, 27 years of the Republic of China, after careful planning, the 23rd Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army of our country was completely surrounded and launched a fierce attack on the Yue Army in the same day."

A man with a newspaper in his hand read it aloud, and countless listeners gathered around him, except for his voice, the whole scene was silent, and everyone listened carefully and patiently to him as he continued:

"Yes, there are more than 20,000 people in the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army, and they are surrounded by 120,000 troops of our 23rd Group Army. Although the army has the advantage of aircraft and artillery and is desperately trying to break through the encirclement, all the officers and men of our 23rd Group Army also have the belief that they will fight to the end, annihilate the Japanese and defend the country!

In this battle, our 23rd Group Army will be of one heart and one mind, not afraid of sacrifice, and swear to annihilate the Japanese invaders, so as to strengthen the determination of our whole [***] people to resist the war to the end."

"Hooray! Banzai! Long live the 23 Army! ”

Before he finished reading, there was already a cheer all around!

"Wait, wait!" The man who read the newspaper shouted: "There is a commendation order behind this"

"Commendation, all officers and soldiers of the 26th Division of the 23rd Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army are commended, Liu Yuqing, commander of the 26th Division, and Cai Yushi, chief of staff, are commended"

He read them one by one, and finally said:

"Special commendation, Gao Fei, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 151st Regiment of the 76th Brigade of the 26th Division of the Army, was the first to propose this battle, and fought bloody battles with the Japanese in Guanzi Village and other places"

The deeds of Gao Fei and the 3rd Battalion were listed one by one. Those things that are not known to the people of the country are completely presented in front of everyone at this time.

The vivid images, the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, at this moment, seem to be standing in front of them

"Goofy, which Goofy? How come you've never heard of it before? ”

"It seems to be the Gao Fei in the Nanjing Rescue, right?"

"Yes, it's him, it's him! It's the same Goofy who rescued tens of thousands of people! ”

An exclamation rang out, in the past I had only heard of this man in stories, but now a special commendation from the 23rd Army appeared in the newspapers, and the name Goofy was firmly imprinted in everyone's mind.

At this time, there was a burst of cries from the other side of the road:

"Support the political axe to fight to the end! Support the 23rd Army to fight to the end! Annihilate the Fifth Division and bring down the imperialists! ”

Everyone looked at the streets, and a large number of teachers and students appeared on the streets, holding banners that had been made out and shouting passionate slogans.

Subsequently, more and more citizens joined this procession

On February 7, 1938, the 23rd Army launched a fierce attack on the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army with 120,000 troops; On this day, the whole country shook!

This day, no matter how many years have passed, is bound to be engraved in the history of the Chinese nation's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!
