Chapter 658: The Battle of Hengyang III
readx; The commander of the 190th Division, Rong was sent by Chief Xue of the Ninth Theater, he was the chief of staff of the 10th Army, and he had just been transferred to the division, of course, he was also familiar with the temper of the commander of the Fang Army, he never liked to do things that he was not sure of, and he did not dare to directly request a retreat, so Deputy Division Commander Pan asked the commander of the 10th Division Ge to intercede with the military seat, hoping that with the relationship between the division commander and the military seat, the 1,200 backbone officers and soldiers of the 190th Division could have a chance to survive temporarily.

"Military seat, the 54th Division guarding the airport suddenly went to an unknown location, which made the airport fall, and there are only 1,200 soldiers on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, who can hold out for a few days outside!" Master Ge and Fang Xianjue have always been straightforward and don't like to go around the bend.
"We don't care about the 54th Division, and we can't control it, but the 190th Division is my soldiers, and my soldiers are not allowed to have people who are afraid of death, I said it a long time ago, it doesn't matter if you die, each person will kill two devils for me and then die, where is the current situation is not death, death is not a reason to withdraw to the city!"
"Commander, on behalf of the officers and men of the 190th Division, I have assured you that they can each kill at least two devils, but I still ask you to withdraw them to the city in order to exert their maximum combat energy -- you also said just now, they will die everywhere, why should they be isolated and abandoned on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River to be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy, in such a situation where the enemy is outnumbered, I ask to shrink the front and gather strength in order to kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent!"
"You promise, how can you promise, to put it bluntly, I'm afraid of death, why do he want you to pass on the word if he doesn't look for me in person, I still have to let him defend it! Abandoning the East Coast, were those fortifications not done in vain? Is there no less strategic place in Hengyang? You have to understand that we are holding on to it, and it is an order issued by the chairman himself, who is attending an international conference in Cairo, and he has sent telegrams to my 10th Army several times ordering me to defend it! ”
"Junzao, Division Commander Rong didn't look for me, and no one in the 190th Division asked me to find you, I considered it from the perspective of the defense of the entire campaign, the devil used so many troops this time, two divisions attacked me, and other divisions blocked my reinforcements, and the strength was several times that of me, I think that we are now trying to maintain the rational use of troops and ammunition, and try to ensure that the combatants are not killed or wounded, didn't the chairman say that it only takes three days, but only needs to hold on for a week, and now it's almost two weeks, where are the reinforcements, where are the reinforcements! You say, "If the people are gone, who will defend the city?" Commander Ge said that his voice was choked, in fact, after these tug-of-wars, the 10th Army of about 17,600 people, excluding casualties, could only fight 10,000 at best, Fang Xianjue was gloomy for a long time, and unconsciously threw the phone to the ground.
"Hey, hey" Master Ge's non-stop voice came from the phone, Fang Xianjue hung up the phone, threw things in the room, and the house quickly became chaotic.
"Junza" Hirako timidly packed up the things on the ground.
"No need to clean up!" Fang Xianjue slowly calmed down, set up the table, laid out the rice paper, picked up the brush on the ground, and wrote four big characters with a wave.
Although Pingzi has never read a book, but because his brain is not stupid, he can also recognize a few words, especially the words written by Fang Xianjue, Pingzi is most familiar with them, and it is these four words that are often written when the mouth of the person who talks about the book is flying, and he often sneaks outside the tea bar to take a look, as if he heard the tone of the person who commented on the book: "Back then, my mother-in-law engraved these four words on the back of Lord Yue, please guess, what is it?" The rice paper prepared for the unfolding of the commentary book is the same as the four words written by Fang Xianjue in the current mouth: "That is to serve the country with loyalty!" ”
"Serve the country with loyalty!" Pingzi read it out unconsciously.
"Kid, are you literate?" Fang Xianjue seemed a little surprised, but it was only a momentary matter, and he immediately said with a straight face: "You go immediately and send these four words to Commander Rong of the 190th Division, and tell him that I have approved their request, but please remember that no matter inside or outside the city, every officer and soldier of the 190th Division must kill at least two devils for me, otherwise I can't die!" ”
"Yes!" Perhaps it was because of that moment of being moved, Ping Ziyan felt that this task was of great significance, and immediately set off to carry out the mission.
Leishui, one of the longest tributaries of the Xiangjiang River.
Since June 23, the 190th Division stationed here fired the first shot of the Hengyang Defense Battle, and then, the 190th Division and the 54th Division (only the division headquarters and a regiment of troops) cooperated with each other in the south and the north, and fought with the Songshan Detachment and the 1** Team of the 68th Division of the Army for control of the airport several times before and after. After several days of stalemate in Quanxi, Wumaguichu, Wantang, and other places, both sides used artillery, tanks, anti-tank anti-tank artillery, and even aircraft, and the airfield was lost for a time.
The division commander Rong Youwei changed his usual peaceful temper at this moment and became a little irritable: "Fight, forget it after fighting, and fight with the little devil!" Rong Youluo has only been the commander of the 190th Division from the chief of staff of the army for so long, and he has long lost the surname Bing, who was called "good old man", and in the face of the extremely vicious devils, the person with the best temper will also be violent.
"As early as when I was guarding Wantang, I warned the 3rd Battalion and 9th Company at the front that there were spies, and there were spies in the 9th Company, why didn't they listen to it!" The head of the 569th Regiment Liang couldn't help but scratch: "Once the bay pond is broken, can the airport still be guarded!" ”
"Don't say anything, the soldiers guarding there are basically all killed, except for a few recruits, most of them are good seedlings of my 190th Division!" Rong You's face was slightly sad: "Everyone, my 190th division's team of more than 1,000 people, it is not easy to hold on to only a few hundred people left, and now it is blocked by Leishui on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, it can be said that there is no way out after the chasing soldiers, what do you think?" ”
"Division, I won't tell you, I have already communicated with Division Commander Ge, please be sure to discuss with the military seat, and our 190th Division will also enter the city to garrison!" Deputy Division Commander Pan of the 190th Division finally said what he had been holding back for a few days.
"You" Rong Youwei glared at Deputy Division Commander Pan: "How can you not go through my consent?"
"Division, it's too late, you've been directing the counterattack, you haven't been able to be distracted, I can't shake your determination to stick to the airport, but I have to leave a way back for our brothers in the 190th Division!"
"The back road, what else is the back road, besides, what do you want to do with this part!" Rong Youxiao sighed: "I, like Commander Rao of the 54th Division, no longer think about the way back!" ”
The task of the 54th Division was to guard the airport, and later the airport was lost, and it stands to reason that the task could be completed and it could retreat on its own, but at the request of Fang Xianjue, the commander of the 54th Division had to order the troops to continue to stay in Hengyang, at that time, the division except for the troops and division headquarters of the commander Chen Chaozhang, until the beginning of the war, other troops had not been built, but when the joint defensive position of the 54th Division and the 190th Division was torn apart by the devil and showed its defeat, Chen Chaozhang actually found a ship and evacuated the troops from the battlefield without permission, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then, and the entire 54th Division, there was only one bare-pole division left, and the 190th division had to send limited manpower to protect it.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Master Rong is serious, defending the land and resisting the war, isn't it my job, at present, my troops are withdrawing privately, and I still feel shameless to face you!" A trace of red cloud flashed on the face of the commander of the 54th Division.
"I am determined to live and die with Hengyang together with you to make up for the responsibility of teaching my subordinates!" Master Rao's tone was firm.
"Co-existence and death with Hengyang? I'm afraid we won't be able to enter Hengyang City! Rong Youwei sighed, and this sigh silenced everyone, and there was not a sound in the bunker for a moment.
"Report!" The silence was disrupted by the voice of a soldier outside.
"The devil is here again?"
"No, we just caught a spy!" The soldier replied.
"Bring him in, Lao Tzu can't spare him!" The head of the 569th Regiment Liang seems to have found an outlet to vent his anger: "The little devil of the dog, the spy of the dog, Lao Tzu will not kill you!" ”
"Wronged, wronged, I am wronged!" At this moment, there was a slightly trembling crying sound outside, and as the sound approached, a wet Pingzi appeared in front of everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good work, I'm not annihilated, I'm Chinese" Pingzi's hands tightly protected a package wrapped in oilcloth, and his body trembled violently, but the package was wrapped tightly and refused to let go.
"How did you catch it?" Rong You asked the leading guard a little calmly.
"Report to the military seat, we just saw a raft coming and shouted, but as soon as he heard the sound, he jumped into the water, and a few brothers swam over before dragging him over!"
"Maybe you don't know yet, for myself, we have always not wanted to take prisoners, but this time with the exception, if you tell the truth, maybe there is a way to live!" Rong Youluo looked at Pingzi calmly: "Our people are almost dead, and we don't expect to live a few more, but when you come to us today, it is even more difficult to live!" ”
"Boss, brother, you can do it, I'm really not myself!" Pingzi was desperate with grievances: "The dog said that I want to kill a few more, why are you like this, you have to treat me as a devil, where am I like a devil!" ”
"Sneakily crossing the river in the middle of the night, even if he is really not a devil, he also escaped from Hengyang, and he is not a good person!" Commander Liang hated the devil deeply: "You are not a devil, what can prove that you are not a devil!" ”
"I, of course I have it, but I can't give it to you, you, you are also [***], how can this be!" Pingzi was aggrieved, according to his previous temper, he would not say anything except the "belching" sound of his accustomed surname, and he didn't even dare to say anything to justify, why has changed so much now, I'm afraid even he can't tell the difference.
"What's wrong with [***], [***] can't the fuck have a temper?" This time, Master Rong also became angry: "Honestly, don't talk so much nonsense, there is no evidence to prove that you are not a devil, Lao Tzu will kill you at any time, if you want to die or something else, you weigh it yourself!" ”
"I have it" Pingzi muttered for a while, and suddenly his heart was crossed: "My things, I must find the commander of the 190th Division and give it to him in person, otherwise no one will want to know!" His hand tightly guarded the tarpaulin-wrapped thing in his hand.
Rong You was slightly stunned, his face slowly stretched, he made a look, a soldier immediately went over and forcibly pulled the oilcloth bag in Pingzi's hand, but he didn't expect this pull to be untouched, the soldier sighed, turned around and snatched again, Pingzi was also angry, like an angry lion: "Whoever dares to come, whoever comes over again Lao Tzu is welcome!" ”
The first time he used the word "Lao Tzu", he seemed to be a lot more courageous, and his eyes had already released a cold light.
"Yo ho, what's wrong with you're welcome!" Master Rong smiled slightly, and made his face again, and several guards pounced.
The handle of the handle, the foot of the foot, and the other two people violently pulled the oilcloth bag in Pingzi's hand.
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, it's going to be ruined and I'll die with you!" Pingzi guarded the oilcloth bag like a life, biting with his mouth, hitting the approaching person with his head, several soldiers under Pingzi's stubborn resistance, but could not succeed for a while, with a snort, the oilcloth bag was torn into several pieces, some rice paper fragments were scattered on the ground, looking at the flying fragments, Pingzi was suddenly stunned.
"Throne, I can't complete your first task!" He was depressed, muttering in his mouth, his hands had stopped resisting, and the remaining pieces of oilcloth had also fallen to the ground, and the rice paper was scattered on the ground.
"Master, inside is a piece of rice paper, which has been torn!" The guards angrily pushed Hirako away and picked up the scraps of paper.
"Put it together and see what!" Rong Youyou smiled slightly.
The soldiers scrambled to gather pieces of rice paper and quickly put them together on the ground.
The words "Jing Zhong and Serving the Country" gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone's breathing seemed to stop, Rong You's face changed slightly, and his tone changed: "This brother, where do you come from!" ”
"Do you think I'll tell you!" Pingzi's tone was suddenly extremely hard, he had already made up his mind, not to say anything, to consume these people to the end.
"If my guess is correct, this is the handwriting of the military seat, and when the military seat is practicing the pen, I can always get a few ink treasures from him!" Rong You smiled slightly: "Your identity has been ruled out, don't you tell me the truth?" ”
"Why should I tell you?" Pingzi was dismissive and uncooperative.
"It seems that I heard you just say, what are you looking for, what are you looking for, what is the commander of the 190th Division Rong and handing over the things to me in person, is there such a thing?" Rong You's eyes were slightly sly: "I'm sorry, the contemptible person is the commander of the 190th Division!" ”
"What's that, you're Master Rong!" Pingzi was taken aback at first, and then shook his head: "Hey, I braved the fire of the devil and desperately sent you a letter, but I didn't expect it" Speaking of the back, he was speechless.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my brother's poor hospitality, aren't you also thinking about safety!" Rong Youluo actually called Pingzi a brother and a brother, in the past, he didn't believe that he dared to call a brother and a brother with such a big official, but at this moment, he had just experienced such a big twist and turn, and he didn't feel any glory at all, but he couldn't help muttering: "A good picture of words, ruined by you!" ”
"Yes, that's the Mobao of the military seat, I know the meaning of his message, brother, don't worry, the meaning of the military seat has been reached, I have ordered the brothers of the 190th Division to defend the east bank, although they can't recapture the airport at present, but they must be nailed to the east bank like a nail, until the entire 190th Division is finished."
"This brother, did the military seat say anything, do you have any orders to convey!"
"Yes!" Pingzi just wanted to say it, but swallowed it back from mouth to mouth: "You are really the 190th Division, are you really Master Rong!" ”
"Yes, I am, as if it were a fake!" Rong You hesitated for a long time, and took out a group photo with him: "Do you know these two people?" ”
"This is the military seat, this, this is you!" As soon as the words came out, Pingzi finally believed the person in front of him as if he had suddenly realized: "You are Master Rong?" ”
"Yes, it's me, you're a very good soldier!" Rong You patted Pingzi on the shoulder slightly: "Say, what did Junzao explain!" ”
"The military seat said that he agreed to your request!"
"Request, what a request!" Rong You looked at Pingzi with a little confusion.
"I don't know, I heard that the military seat was losing his temper and said that the troops were not allowed to withdraw to the city, but then I wrote these four words and asked me to send you here!"
"Division, it should be Commander Ge's request for us, let us retreat to the city to defend, and now the military seat has agreed!" Deputy Division Commander Pan reminded Rong Youluo.
"Shameful, shameless" Rong Youluo seemed to be quite angry: "You guys, you are so afraid of death, you have lost your position, who is right when you go back!" ”
"Division, don't be angry, from the first day of the defense of Hengyang, the 190th Division can hold on to today, it is already a very big miracle, to fight to the current situation, the 190th Division has done its best, in the face of several times my strong enemy, now Hengyang is in danger, what is the gain or loss of a peripheral position, besides, this time and that time, keeping the manpower to hold Hengyang is our ultimate goal, in order to avoid the 190th Division, these remaining brothers are eating by the enemy in a lonely battle,, Don't we need to retreat to Hengyang City as soon as possible to avoid the enemy, you should know that we are not doing this for personal life and death, and we don't care how many people the 190th Division can keep, the gains and losses of Hengyang are our biggest scruples! Deputy Division Commander Pan almost poured out his thoughts, although Rong Youluo was slightly angry, after all, what people said was also reasonable, he sighed:
"The military seat is all answered, what else is there to say!"
"Brother, you are from the first phase of Huangpu, your subordinates are all elite soldiers, I am ashamed of Rao, to be fair, your brothers want to be like Rao's subordinates without saying goodbye, and they don't even care about the division, that can't make people angry, but the soldiers you brought didn't do this, it's already amazing!" Commander Rao of the 54th Division played a round: "Strategically speaking, the enemy is several times larger than me at present, and it is our wisest choice to keep manpower and ammunition around the enemy. ”
"But" Rong Youluo seemed to have some scruples: "Does the military seat have any other orders!" ”
