Taierzhuang is a municipality directly under the jurisdiction of Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, and is an important town in Lunan. Historically, Taierzhuang was founded in the Han Dynasty. Taierzhuang is surrounded by water on all sides, the ancestors built a platform to avoid the water, and named the village after the platform. "History of the Ming Dynasty" called "Taizhuang" and "Taijiazhuang". During the Ming Zhengde period, it was called "Taijiazhuang Collection". In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, it was called "Taierzhuang".

In the 32nd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was rerouted, from Jining to the east along Taierzhuang through Weishan Lake to the south, the north-south transport developed rapidly, Taierzhuang soon became a giant town in Yixian County, with a border of more than 100 miles, a population of hundreds of thousands, and tens of thousands in the village.

"Yixian Chronicles" contains: "Taierzhuang crosses the Cao Canal, when the north and south carry the road, the business and travel are extracted, the residents are spared, the villages and towns are large, and the first is in a yi, commonly known as 'the first village in the world'." ”

During the period of the Republic of China, Taierzhuang was located at the junction of southern Lunan and northern Jiangsu, east of the Jinpu line and north of the Longhai line, with the branch line of the Linzao-Zhao railway, the Weixu Highway and the Grand Canal, with a population of more than 10,000 and more than 3,000 residents. Taierzhuang city wall is built high, the houses are mostly stone, east and west kilometers, north and south kilometers, 12 streets and alleys, east and west, north and south and southeast, northwest gate 6, 9 large blockhouse buildings, more than 70 small blockhouse buildings, the defense is tight, since ancient times, it is the place where soldiers must fight. Taierzhuang is 50 kilometers north of Xuzhou, which is the gateway of Lunan and the barrier of Xuzhou. Militarily, Taierzhuang and Xuzhou have a relationship with each other.

After the army captured Teng County, the next target was Taierzhuang. The main force that captured Taierzhuang was the Seya Detachment of the 10th Division.

And the first shot fired in the defense of Taierzhuang was the 186th Regiment commanded by Wang Guanwu!

The one who rushed to the front of the army was still the 63rd Infantry Wing commanded by Furong Zhenping!

The army covered the Chinese defenders' positions with fierce artillery fire, and the ferocious shells fell overwhelmingly, as if the entire position was going to be drowned in artillery fire and completely extinguish the Chinese defenders' will to resist!

With the extension of artillery fire, more than 2,000 people of the Chinese army, with the cooperation of aircraft, artillery and tanks, began to attack the positions of the Chinese defenders. Sticking here is the 1st Battalion of the 186th Regiment! Battalion commander Jiang Normal!

The 1st Battalion was mostly newly recruited.

At the beginning of the battle, the army launched a fierce offensive in front of Taierzhuang, dispatching a large number of main forces to attack, and the fierce artillery fire of the army collapsed a large number of defensive positions on the garden of Taierzhuang, and hundreds of devils rushed up under the cover of tanks.

The flanks of the park are 1 battalion, 3 companies and 2 platoons, and the platoon commander is Yan Keqiang!

In the face of the crazy attack of the devils, Yan Keqiang, who graduated from the military academy but participated in the battle for the first time, appeared very calm, and kept raising his gun to shoot at the approaching devils, and the enemy gradually approached the position, and the fierce artillery fire and dense bullets hit, causing the casualties on the position to be greater and greater.

Compared with the devil's artillery fire, the defender's firepower is too weak, as far as the Hanyang Zao in Yan Keqiang's hand is concerned, the gun is probably older than his age, the rifling has been polished, and the bullet is not a straight line at all, although Yan Keqiang carefully aimed and shot, he didn't even hit a devil, and the devil gradually rushed up.

Jiang Changchang, who was personally supervising the battle here, saw that the situation was critical, so he tore off his shirt, took it off, and roared angrily: "Brothers who are not afraid of death, rush forward with me!" ”

After speaking, he carried a big knife in his hand and took the lead in rushing towards the devil.

The soldiers, who were covered with gunsmoke, took off their shirts, followed closely, and rushed into the enemy group with the determination to die, and started a desperate struggle with the Kou, and under the brave counterattack of the soldiers, the devils who rushed into the city were all annihilated.

Yan Keqiang, like the soldiers, stripped off his shirt, brandished a big knife, and rushed towards the devil, but after all, this was the first time he had fought face-to-face with the devil, which was very different from lying on the position and shooting at the enemy just now. When he stepped on the corpse of the devil, his legs couldn't help but weaken when he saw the blood on his feet.

When Jiang Changchang waved his big knife, the head of a devil fell to the ground, and it was rolling to his feet, seeing the bloody head of the devil, Yan Keqiang's stomach churned, and he couldn't help but hold on to a broken wall with his hand, and vomited violently.

Seeing the comrades-in-arms around him rushing towards the devil one by one, Yan Keqiang also wanted to follow, but his weak legs couldn't move, and he slapped himself hard in annoyance!

The battle ended quickly, and Jiang Changchang, who had retreated, saw him depressed and comforted: "Most of the first time is like this, you performed well on the battlefield, and you will have more experience in the future, just experience it." ”

At this time, Zhuang Agui, the leader of the 1st platoon who retreated together, interjected: "This is different from the usual tiger and tiger practice!" As soon as I saw the devil, I came to the real one, and my legs became weak. ”

Jiang Changchang glared at him, and Zhuang Agui walked away with interest.

After a day of bloody fighting, the 1st Battalion, which suffered heavy casualties, was replaced by the 2nd Battalion to recuperate. At this time, in Yan Keqiang's eyes, the eyes of his comrades-in-arms were strange, as if they were mocking, and the comrades-in-arms were talking about the daytime battle, which also seemed to be sarcastic to him. At night, when he rested, he tossed and turned, and fell asleep in a daze for a long time.

In the middle of the night, Yan Keqiang somehow woke up and found that the gun he had placed next to him was gone, and he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. According to wartime discipline, those who lose their guns will be shot, and at this time, he is annoyed and ashamed, and feels shameless to wake up his comrades-in-arms around him to ask. After thinking about it for a while, Yan Keqiang decided to take advantage of the night to enter the enemy camp and get a gun. Without alarming anyone, he quietly pulled out a few grenades, put a big knife on his back, and slipped out of the city alone, towards the devil's position.

Devils generally attack during the day and rest at night.

Yan Keqiang took advantage of the night to quietly approach the front of the devil, and found that there was a pile of fire in front of him, he crawled forward to a place only more than 20 meters away from the fire, and saw that it turned out to be more than a dozen devils roasting around the fire, Yan Keqiang even clearly heard the snoring and low muttering of the devil.

At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, and even felt his heartbeat thumping, and cold sweat gushed out from his hand holding the grenade, he calmed down, took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, and threw the grenades in his hand at the devil one after another. The grenade landed accurately in the pile of devils and exploded, and the violent explosion blew up the burning firewood, along with the broken guns, the stumps and severed arms of the devils. The burning firewood flew into the sky, like a meteor full of sky, and before the "meteor" landed, Yan Keqiang pulled out a big knife and rushed up while the smoke of gunpowder.

More than a dozen devils were mostly killed, only two wounded devils were still on the ground moaning, Yan Keqiang raised his knife and stepped forward, one of the slightly injured devils got up from the ground, raised his gun to Yan Keqiang, Yan Keqiang raised his knife to the bayonet and knocked hard, the huge force made the injured devil unable to hold the gun, the gun was knocked to the ground, Yan Keqiang hurried forward, the big knife moved, slashed down, cut the devil in two, burst out of the blood splashed into Yan Keqiang's mouth, salty, a pride from the heart, casually, Yan Keqiang hacked to death another devil who was injured and fell to the ground.

At this time, there was a shout of the devils not far away, and the explosion alarmed the surrounding devils, but due to the unknown enemy situation in the dark, the devils did not shoot this side, but just howled and pounced on this side, Yan Keqiang quickly picked up a brand-new 38 rifle and prepared to retreat, but at a glance, he saw a crooked machine gun turned over diagonally, picked it up, and retreated to the way it came.

The devils who arrived saw that there was only one person who was attacking, and they were very angry, and suddenly, seven or eight devils chased Yan Keqiang and began to shoot at him, and the bullets kept "chirping" through Yan Keqiang's side, but the night covered him, Yan Keqiang crossed a mound, quickly lay down, and just eliminated more than a dozen devils, which made Yan Keqiang energetic, holding a brand-new 38 cover in his hand, which made him more confident.

Yan Keqiang raised his gun to shoot at the approaching devil, "horn" a gunshot sounded, the head of a devil chasing in front bloomed, and fell, Yan Keqiang quickly aimed and fired a second shot, the second devil was hit in the abdomen, covered his stomach and fell down, the rest of the devils immediately lay down, and the well-trained devils shot alternately, covered each other, and crossed towards the mound. The dense bullets hit the mound, and Yan Keqiang couldn't raise his head, Yan Keqiang picked up the gun, bowed over, and retreated. The devil chased after him, vowing to destroy this Chinese who dared to sneak attack in the middle of the night and killed many "imperial troops".

Under the pressure of the devil, Yan Keqiang ran away in a hurry, and suddenly, a large pond blocked his way, and the devil was gradually approaching, and it was impossible to bypass the side. Yan Keqiang gritted his teeth, threw the rifle into the water, hugged the machine gun tightly, and jumped into the pond, although it was the end of March at this time, it was spring, but the pond water at night was still cold, and the cold water made Yan Keqiang fight a cold war.

At this time, the footsteps of the devil were getting closer and closer, Yan Keqiang took a sharp breath and gently submerged into the water. The devil who followed him chased to the edge of the pond, and suddenly lost the trace of the sneak attacker, and was at a loss for a while, standing by the pond muttering and searching

Suddenly, Yan Keqiang jumped out of the water, the machine gun in his hand spewed out angry flames, Yan Keqiang roared angrily, and all the shuttle bullets were exhausted, and the dense bullets swept towards the devils standing by the pond, and the unprepared devils all fell under this sudden blow, two of the devils rolled into the water from the pond, Yan Keqiang saw that all the devils were killed, so he took a few breaths, calmed down, slowly climbed ashore, picked up the guns around the devils, and retreated to the city

On the new day, the battle became more intense, and the embarrassed and angry 10th Division of the Japanese Army, Isoya Ryosuke, continued to increase his troops, and at the same time mobilized a large number of artillery and tanks, relying on the superiority of artillery fire, he did his best to launch a more frantic attack on the Chinese position. The soldiers who defended their positions to the death resisted and fought desperately with the enemy for every inch of land.

However, relying on the superiority of artillery fire, the Yue army quickly rushed in and seized the position in the garden.

At this time, Wang Guanwu, who was supervising the battle in Shaozhuang, heard that the position on the garden was lost, and couldn't help but be furious. In order to regain the position, Wang Guanwu decided to organize a death squad, and after selection, 56 fighters, including Jiang Changchang, the commander of the 1st Battalion, and Li Mengwu, the battalion political training officer, were selected, and it was decided that Jiang Changchang would lead them to attack the position occupied by the devils that night.

Jiang Changchang gave an order, and the soldiers carried rifles in their hands, carried large knives on their shoulders, and hung grenades on their waists, and prepared to set off impassionedly.

Yan Keqiang finally arrived in time before the team left, he was resting in the company, maybe Jiang Changchang deliberately didn't let him know, so he didn't know about the death squad, it was a part of the unselected soldiers muttering in the company, he heard the news and hurried over. He ran to the front of the team and asked to join the death squad, Wang Guanwu looked at Yan Keqiang, who was heroic and carrying a big knife, and asked, "Which unit are you from?" ”

"Report sir! The platoon commander of the 2nd battalion, 3rd company, and 2nd platoon Yan Keqiang. Yan Keqiang replied with a salute.

"You are the soldier who attacked the enemy camp at night and killed more than twenty devils?"

"Yes, please allow me to join the death squad." Yan Keqiang pleaded.

"Okay, I hope you will make new contributions tonight, come back, and I will personally ask for credit for you." See Crown Five promised. Yan Keqiang happily ran into the team.

"I hope you will live up to your mission, complete your mission, and regain your position!" Crown Five shouted encouragement.

"Swear to retake the position and drive the devils out!" The fighters replied in unison.

Under the leadership of Jiang Changchang, the team members took advantage of the darkness to approach the position of the army, Jiang Changchang arranged more than a dozen team members to throw bombs to the devil's position, some of the team members raised their guns to cover behind, and the other team members under his leadership, took advantage of the enemy's surprise, rushed to the enemy formation, opened the breakthrough, all the team members threw away the rifles in their hands, raised their broadswords, rushed to the enemy formation, and launched a surprise melee battle against the devil.

The daredevils fearlessly started a white-knuckle battle with the devil, and the devil also showed his fierce nature and fought to the death. The daredevils were not afraid of sacrifice, bravely fought with the enemy, were wounded, but still insisted on struggling to get up from the pool of blood, slashing the enemy with a big knife, the knife cut the mouth, they used their fists, with their teeth to fight and fight with the devil, some of the team members hugged the enemy, pulled the grenade on their bodies and died with the enemy

Yan Keqiang looked at the fierce battle, his blood was boiling, he unfolded his knife and rushed towards the devil, he slashed down one devil after another with a flexible pace, a fierce and powerful broadsword, and was about to rush towards the dense place of devils, suddenly, Jiang Changchang roared behind him, Yan Keqiang looked back, only to see Jiang Changchang's right leg was held by a dying devil, unable to move, two devils took the opportunity to attack from front to back, two bayonets, one from his back, one from the front chest, deeply pierced his body.

It turned out that Jiang Changchang led the team to rush into the enemy formation, and cut down several devils in a row, the devils saw that he was a master, and he was the leader, four devils surrounded him together, and around him like a marquee, taking turns to stab and attack, Jiang Changchang waved a knife to cut down two devils, and was about to attack the other two devils, unfortunately he was held to his right leg by a dying devil, and he couldn't move for a while, Jiang Changchang swung his knife straight down, and the big knife nailed the devil to the ground, and the two devils also took the opportunity to stab the bayonet into his body from the front and back

When Yan Keqiang saw it, his blood immediately swelled, he roared, forced away the devils around him, and rushed towards Jiang Changchang, on the other side, Li Mengwu cut down a devil, and also rushed over, five or six meters away from the battalion commander, Yan Keqiang threw out the big knife, and the big knife roared out, straight into the back of the devil opposite Jiang Changchang.

And Li Mengwu had also rushed up, swinging a knife to fight with the devil behind Jiang Changchang, and cut the devil down in a few strokes. Yan Keqiang stepped forward, kicked away the devil who was holding Jiang Changchang's right leg, and slowly lay down with both hands on Jiang Changchang, while Li Mengwu was guarding with a knife beside him!

Blood gushed out from Jiang Changchang's chest and back, his face instantly became extremely pale, his weak left hand grabbed Yan Keqiang's arm, handed the knife to Yan Keqiang with his right hand, and said softly: "I, no, I'll give you this knife, kill a few more devils for me." ”

After speaking, he let go of his hand and closed his eyes forever.
