Chapter Seventy-Five: News from the 6th Company
After the outbreak of the Battle of Jiangyin, a small [***] force began to be widely known.
This unit can't even be called a miscellaneous unit, they don't even have uniform clothing, they all wear the uniforms of the Central Teaching Corps of the elite troops, and some wear the uniforms of various units of the Sichuan Army, and the numbers are messy, from the 26th Division, to the 123rd Division, and the 126th Division. It is even said that there was a person who wore a tattered military officer's uniform all day long.
This unit has a variety of weapons, such as light machine guns, flower machines, Remington, and shell guns.
Some of the troops in this army are veterans who are hanging around all day long, some are new recruits who wipe their tears as soon as they go to the battlefield, and some are women, or they are graduates of some higher women's college. However, it is said that there are still serious military schools.
The foundation of this unit is composed of a group of wounded soldiers, and some of them have never healed from their wounds from Shanghai to Jiangyin.
But such a chaotic army, resisting a military flag with the word "death", turned to fight in various battlefields in Jiangyin, killing countless enemies, and even the invincible Goto Detachment Leader Goto Tsukasa fell under the guns of this unit.
According to an occasional captured account of the army, the army's achievements have been confirmed. In this account, Yue Jun wrote:
"The tenacity and tenacity shown by the Chinese army in Jiangyin make people marvel at the tenacity and determination of the 6th company of the 26th division of the Sichuan Army, which has never been encountered. In particular, the death of the commander of the Goto detachment at the hands of the ministry is particularly suffocating, and the biggest mark of the ministry is a military flag with the word 'death', and its military commander, the sharpshooter, is called the 'Shina Grim Reaper' by the officers and soldiers, and the commander of the 13th Division must be ordered to annihilate the Shina Division."
26 companies of the 6th division of the Sichuan Army! Company commander fly high!
This record of the army, as well as the news that kept coming back from the mouths of the surviving officers and soldiers on the Jiangyin front, made the 6th Company famous.
But after Jiangyin covered the retreat, the 6th Company temporarily lost news
"Master! Division! Zhu Zaitang stumbled over a little, Liu Yuqing had never seen his subordinates so flustered. As soon as he came to Liu Yuqing, Zhu Zaitang gasped and said, "Master, there is news of Gao Fei and the 6th Company!" ”
"What!" Liu Yuqing's eyes widened suddenly, and she almost couldn't believe what she heard: "Who are you talking about?" ”
"6 in a row! Goofy! Zhu Zaitang's voice suddenly raised: "Just now, just now I passed by the teaching corps, they are reading the "Central Daily", you see, right here, there are the words of Commander Chen Cheng!" ”
Liu Yuqing almost snatched the newspaper in Zhu Zaitang's hand, and on the second page, there was indeed a piece of news:
"The Japanese will not die, and the war of resistance will not end! [***] Athletes' Fight! ”
This article mainly records the deeds of the [***] heroes who fought bloodily in Jiangyin, and in it, special mention is made of the 6th Company of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army, as well as Gao Fei, who was called "Death" by the army.
At the end of the article, there was indeed a remark from Chief Chen Cheng, detailing how the 6th Company was reorganized.
"God, God, Goofy, this puppy is really not dead!" Liu Yuqing shook her head again and again, as if she still couldn't believe it.
My own 6 companies are still there! The high flyer who is never afraid of life and death in the big field is still there!
So many brothers in the 26th Division died, and Liu Yuqing was also sad and sad, but I don't know why, when he heard that Gao Fei and the 6th Company were still there, Liu Yuqing's excitement at this moment was difficult to express in words.
"Where are they now?" Liu Yuqing suddenly asked.
"I don't know." Zhu Zaitang sighed: "The 103rd Division was attacked in Qianjia Village, and according to the survivors' descriptions, the 6th Company counterattacked the Yue Army in Xiagang, and then there was no news. ”
For a moment, disappointment quickly replaced excitement.
Finally, there was news of the 6th company, but now there is no more.
After the Wuxi breakthrough, the 26th Division went all the way to Wuxi and Jiangyin, and killed Zhenjiang, suffering heavy casualties, and the troops that had just been replenished were now less than one-third left.
In particular, the death of a large number of middle and low-ranking officers was an irreparable loss for the 26th Division. At this time, Liu Yuqing needs a helper like Gao Fei!
"Master's seat." Zhu Zaitang hesitated: "Our department was ordered to retreat to the Wuhan area, our division is disabled, and it is useless to stay here, I think, it is better to leave here quickly, and wait for the future to slowly find the 6th Company to return to the team." Gao Fei's turtle son has a big life, and I don't think he can die. ”
Liu Yuqing hesitated, then nodded slowly
On the outskirts of Nanjing, Chunhua Town, the defensive position of the 51st Division.
Chunhua Town is in the southeast suburbs of Nanjing, 18 kilometers away from Zhonghua Gate, if the army attacks Nanjing from Jurong all the way, Chunhua Town is the place that must pass, and it will definitely attack with the main force. The task of the 51st Division was to defend the southern gate to Nanjing.
Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment was responsible for guarding the line from Gaoqiaomen to Heding Bridge and building a reserve position; Qiu Weida's 306th Regiment was in reserve, and the first regiment was placed in Hushu Town to prevent the enemy from attacking from the right flank. Wang Yaowu's defense was basically a defensive position in depth along the Beijing-Shanghai National Highway.
Originally, when they heard that there were preset national defense fortifications in the Chunhua area, the officers and men thought that the positions should have a solid backing on the ground, but when they arrived at the site to inspect them, the situation was very disappointing.
The so-called fortifications were extremely unreasonably designed, the machine-gun bunkers were far from each other, the firing holes were large and indiscriminate, and the fortifications cut corners, and some were simply perfunctory mounds of earth. Because the decision to defend the city was made on an ad hoc basis, there was no system for the specific preparatory work, no one left behind the original fortifications, and there was no guide, and the troops could not even find a map of the location of the fortifications, so they could only scratch around and bump into the fortifications by themselves, and finally found the fortifications, but the gate was locked and no one answered, and the officers and men stomped their feet angrily and scolded, and the surnames were anxious to simply slam the door and enter.
When the 51st Division arrived at the front line, it rushed to repair its position overnight, but it was not urgent.
It takes a lot of work to form a strong and deep position. However, the troops in charge of the operation were weak in transportation strength, and there was a great lack of explosives and obstacle materials, and although they were rushed to build under the stars, the front was too wide, and the materials were lacking, and the position could not complete the expected degree of solidity.
The position near Gaoqiaomen was also unsatisfactory, and Zhang Lingfu had to urge his subordinates to strengthen the fortifications as soon as possible!
