Chapter 247: The Independent Brigade is in Danger!

Chenjiacun fought vigorously and fiercely for a day, and the intensity of the battle was not much weaker than the battle of Tengxian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo from the morning to now, the Fifth Theater Command is still brightly lit, and all the army commanders and group army commanders who participated in the defense of Xuzhou are all waiting for the results of the battle in Zaozhuang.

Of course, the three giants who commanded the Battle of Xuzhou were indispensable, Commander Li Zongren, Deputy Commander Li Pinxian, and Chief of Staff Xu Zushi.

Although several bigwigs of the national army present were very anxious to know the battle situation in Zaozhuang, they also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, so they patiently waited for news at the headquarters.

Time passed minute by minute, and the tea was drunk and refilled, and finally a staff officer in charge of telecommunications brought the result that all the bigwigs wanted.

"Report to the chiefs, the situation in Zaozhuang has been reported."

The result came out, Chief of Staff Xu Zushi was the first to point and say.

"Speak quickly!" At the same time, all the big guys listened attentively, for fear of missing a little. Of course, the staff officers behind them were also holding pens and paper notes, and some staff officers were standing next to a huge Xuzhou sand table and map, ready to deduce the battle situation according to the situation.

"Yes, sir!" After the staff officer finished speaking, he immediately summed up the information sent back by the front-line reconnaissance unit.

"News came back from our front line, today the Japanese army assembled two infantry wings, a cavalry wing, an artillery brigade, a tank squadron, and a bomber brigade was dispatched during the period, a total of more than 8,000 little devils, dozens of artillery, five tanks, ten armored vehicles, and 24 bombers, all under the command of Lai Wuping, commander of the Major General Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army."

Several bigwigs present heard that the Japanese army had dispatched so many troops, tanks and armored vehicles, and bombers, and they all held their breath and waited quietly for the following. At the same time, he was also more curious about Chen Jiye, a young general.

Of course, they also knew that Chen Jiye had done something angry against the Japanese army, and it was not very strange for the little devil to treat Chen Jiye like this.

"Due to the heavy security of the Japanese army on the three villages of Chenjia Village, our scouts and intelligence officers lurking around the three villages only knew that the battle in Xiaolizhuang was fierce, with constant gunfire and artillery fire. However, judging by the time spent by the Japanese army, the troops of the independent brigade resisted stubbornly. In the end, the Japanese army sent twenty-four bombers to bomb Xiaolizhuang and Wangjia Village into ruins, and the siege of Chenjia Village ended! ”

After the staff officer finished speaking, he handed a folder to Xu Zushi, chief of staff of the Fifth Theater.

"Chief of Staff, this is a telegram from the reconnaissance unit and the intelligence department, please take a look."

Xu Zushi took the folder, then waved his hand and said.

"You go down first!"

"Yes, Chief of Staff!" After a salute, the staff officer returned to his post.

After the staff officer left, Xu Zushi quickly browsed it and said after being convinced.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the message is correct."

After hearing Xu Zushi's words, all the bigwigs couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss~"

You must know that Chen Jiye only has one brigade, at most four or five thousand people, while the Japanese army has more than 8,000 well-equipped people, and also dispatched a tank squadron and a bomber brigade, according to their budget, Chen Jiye will definitely not be able to hold out for half a day before the Japanese army is completely wiped out!

But what they didn't expect was that Chen Jiye not only held out for a day in front of so many Japanese troops, but also only lost two villages.

If any brigade or even a division under their command could hold out for half a day in the face of such a Japanese army, it would be considered good to hold out for half a day. At this time, they were very curious about Chen Jiye, how did he do it?

Of course, if they know that today's battle, a chariot squadron and more than 900 Japanese troops who wiped out the little devils, the casualties are even more negligible than the Japanese army, I don't know what kind of expression it will be?

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of today's battle in Zaozhuang?" Li Zongren crossed his fingers, looked at the few bigwigs present with a scheming look and said.

Several commanders are old drivers, but they also have to admire Chen Jiye.

"I have to admit that Chen Jiye, this young man is amazing!" Sun Zhen of the 22nd Group Army was the first to say. After all, among the bigwigs here, he has the most contact with Chen Jiye. Moreover, Chen Jiye has also helped their 45th Army several times, and it is also appropriate to admire Chen Jiye.

However, speaking of Chen Jiye, Sun Zhen remembered the inscription of the king who died in Tengxian County, and he really felt a lot of emotion for a while.

"Yes, he is the young man I admire the most in my life." Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 59th Army, who has an upright personality, also said.

At the beginning, Chen Jiye attacked the artillery position of the Fifth Division from behind in Linyi, and Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun were able to win a great victory in Linyi, and Zhang Zizhong also admired Chen Jiye.

Sun Zhen and Zhang Zizhong's words expressed the hearts of everyone present, and at the same time, the expressions on the faces of Sun Tongxuan, commander of the Third Army, and Tang Enbo, commander of the 20th Army Corps, were very complicated. Because Chen Jiye used to be a part of the Third Army, and he also belonged to the independent brigade under the 20th Army Corps, it was a pity that they could not control Chen Jiye's elite, and at the same time, they also regretted that the independent brigade was about to end.

After some emotion, the bigwigs sitting there returned to discuss the situation of the independent brigade of the Twentieth Army Corps.

The Independent Brigade is now surrounded by the Japanese Legion in Chenjia Village, and in their opinion, Chen Jiye is destined to be doomed. Although they all had the heart to save the independent brigade, they all knew that far water could not quench their thirst, and the battle situation in Xuzhou did not allow them to send some extra troops to the rescue.

In the end, the commander Li Zongren ordered someone to send the situation of the independent brigade to the anti-Japanese commander-in-chief, and then all the bigwigs returned to their own units.

And after receiving the situation of the Independent Brigade in Wuchang, Lao Jiang gritted his teeth and said with a strong hatred.

"Niang Xipi, Lao Tzu originally ordered you to take the troops to Xuzhou, now it's okay, surrounded by Xiao Ri * Ben, waiting to be wiped out by Xiao Ri * Ben!" However, Lao Jiang was also mixed after saying this, happy that Chen Jiye, a person who did not listen to his orders, was about to be killed by Xiao Ri*ben, and worried that such a good army to fight devils could not be controlled by him.

The Nationalist Army has completely given up on Chen Jiye, but the Eighth Route Army has not given up on Chen Jiye.

Because Chen Jiye disobeyed Lao Jiang's orders twice, as well as the record of blinding their titanium alloy eyes, the Eighth Route Army had a heart of cherishing talents and needed a small number of anti-Japanese armed forces such as the Independent Brigade, and wanted to wait for the Battle of Xuzhou to send someone to contact Chen Jiye and let him join them in the battle sequence and jointly resist Japan.

But what I didn't expect was that the little devil's revenge came so quickly and so fiercely.

The Independent Brigade faced thousands of elite Japanese troops, and several top commanders of the Eighth Route Army agreed that the Independent Brigade was in danger and that they had to make a rescue plan.

However, they couldn't quench their thirst far from water, but they didn't want to give up, so they had to contact the people's anti-Japanese volunteer teams closest to Zaozhuang and asked them to think of a way to see if they could unite to save the crisis of the independent brigade.

In short, do your best, obey the destiny of God!

When Zhu Daonan, the captain of the Yixian People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Brigade, received the order from his superiors, Chenjia Village was surrounded by the Japanese army, but Zhu Daonan still urgently convened a meeting.

"Comrades, instructions have come from above, let's think of a way to save Zaozhuang's independent brigade." Zhu Daonan stood up and said very seriously.

As soon as Zhu Daonan's words fell, a party member who deeply hated the ranks of the Kuomintang immediately spoke.

"Captain, the Independent Brigade is a unit of the Kuomintang *Kuomintang, and Chen Jiye is also a landlord class, what are we doing to save them?" You must know that during the civil war, many of their revolutionary comrades-in-arms were captured and mutilated by the Kuomintang Party, and the leader whom the party members admired the most was also killed, so he hated these people who were connected with the Kuomintang reactionaries very much.

"Comrade Xiao Li, pay attention to your attitude. Now that we are fighting a unified war of resistance across the country, the spirit of our party's supreme directive is to unite all forces that can be united to jointly fight against the Japanese aggressors. Zhu Daonan said in a critical tone.

Although the Independent Brigade was a Kuomintang unit, it was only nominal, and General Chen disobeyed Lao Chiang's orders twice. In addition, according to the information within our party, General Chen Jiye has never killed any of our party members, and his superiors also revealed that General Chen has made great contributions to the anti-Japanese battlefield, so the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China unanimously decided to send us to save this anti-Japanese force.

When several party members here heard Zhu Daonan's words, they finally changed their minds about Chen Jiye, and their hatred was not as strong as before.

But the problem came again, Zaozhuang had gathered at least seven or eight thousand little devils, and their Yixian brigade only had two or three hundred people, and there was a shortage of guns and ammunition, even if Pei County and Teng County were added, there were only more than six hundred people in total. Not to mention saving the independent brigade, if you join in, it is estimated that you won't even be able to bubble up.

"Comrades, although this task is very difficult, the solution is always thought of. I believe that you have used your brains to come up with a good way to complete the task assigned to us by your superiors. ”

"Captain Zhu, at present, the Independent Brigade has been compressed in Chenjia Village. It's not that we don't want to do it, it's that in the current situation, we can't do it at all, and it's too late. I reckon that tomorrow the independent brigade will be over. A squadron leader said, spreading his hands.

Today's movement in Zaozhuang was also felt by them in Yixian. At the same time, Zhu Daonan also understood the difficult situation of the independent brigade, and the conference room fell silent.

If they had received a task from their superiors during the day, they might have a chance, but unfortunately some instructions from their superiors came too late.

Although the Yixian People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Brigade was unable to save the Independent Brigade, they felt that they could sabotage behind enemy lines and try to make the Independent Brigade last longer, and maybe there would be a miracle.

Similarly, for the independent brigade, the people's anti-Japanese volunteers in Teng County and Pei County did not come up with any good ideas, but only increased the degree of activity behind enemy lines.
