Chapter 881 - Only an inch of land

On September 22, 1938, while the Honorary Second Division was engaged in fierce battles with various units of the Japanese army, the chairman of the Military Commission sent a telegram to the Commander's Department of the Second Theater and the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, clearly demanding that the troops of the Honorary Second Division immediately abandon Wutai County and move to the Jinnan area.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second Theater Command, directly conveyed the order of the chairman to the headquarters of the Honorary Second Division, and Yan Xishan asked Sun Weiguo to immediately lead the troops of the Honorary Second Division to transfer.

The Honorary Second Division is a force related to the hearts and minds of the Anti-Japanese Army, and they have brought devastating blows to the Japanese army several times.

The existence of the Honorary Second Division has greatly encouraged the morale of the military and the people of the National War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and if such a unit is surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese troops, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After the chairman learned that the Honorary Second Division was deployed in Wutai County, he sent several telegrams to the Honorary Second Division one after another, and all of these telegrams demanded that Sun Weiguo immediately abandon Wutai County and lead the troops of the Honorary Second Division to transfer.

Sun Weiguo did not carry out several orders of the chairman, and the chairman had to start putting pressure on the headquarters of the commander of the Second Theater and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the chairman hoped that Yan Xishan, Mr. Zhu, and Vice President Peng would come forward to make Sun Weiguo immediately abandon Wutai County and lead the transfer of the troops of the Honorary Second Division.

At half past eleven o'clock in the morning, Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater and a first-class general of the army, sent another telegram to Sun Weiguo, and Yan Xishan demanded that Sun Weiguo immediately abandon Wutai County.

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters has never sent a telegram to Sun Weiguo, this battle plan was drawn up by Sun Weiguo, whether this operation can succeed, mainly depends on whether Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division can hold Wutai County, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters is also worried that the Honorary Second Division will be completely annihilated by the Japanese army, but they know that in such a situation, they can not shake the military heart of the Honorary Second Division, otherwise once the military spirit is broken, this will directly lead to the demise of the Honorary Second Division.

Hutou Mountain, the headquarters of the second regiment of honor.

This is not only the regimental headquarters of Zhong Jian of the Second Honorary Regiment, but also the front-line headquarters of Sun Weiguo.

Sun Weiguo is here to unify the command of all units to fight, and at present, the Honorary Fifth Regiment, the Honorary Fourth Regiment, and the troops of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division are rapidly advancing towards Dai County.

The special service battalion, supplementary battalion, anti-aircraft artillery battalion, and reconnaissance battalion were arranged into reserves by Sun Weiguo, and the troops of the Honorary Second Regiment and the Honorary Sixth Regiment were stationed in Hutou Mountain and Siling Mountain for defense.

The 109th Brigade of the 118th Division of the Japanese Army had already launched several fierce attacks on the Hutou Mountain position, but these attacks were repulsed by the Honorable Second Regiment.

However, the Japanese troops did not give up the attack, the artillery wing of the 109th Division and the first brigade of the eighth wing of the independent field heavy artillery had a total of 60 artillery pieces to continuously shell the Hutou Mountain position, and the 118th Brigade and the Tahara Wing and the 136th Wing of the 136th Brigade Regiment took turns to attack Hutou Mountain, and by 11:40 minutes, the two infantry wings of the Japanese army had launched more than a dozen attacks, but each of their attacks was repulsed, but both China and Japan paid a lot of casualties.

"Regiment commander, the casualties of the fifth battalion are too great, and now they have less than sixty combat personnel in the whole battalion, and I have arranged for them to withdraw."

Chen Yang, chief of staff of the honorary second regiment, came to the regiment headquarters, he saluted the regiment commander Zhong Jian, and then reported the situation.

Zhong Jian's brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at the submachine gun not far away, Zhong Jian was planning to personally go to the front line to command the battle.

"Transfer the troops of Liang Weifeng's special service battalion and let the special service battalion troops cooperate with the troops of the sixth battalion to garrison Hutou Mountain."

Sun Weiguo, who was on the side, began to give orders, and he was ready to send reserves to participate in the battle.

The 5th Battalion of the 2nd Honorary Regiment fought very fiercely in Doucun Town, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, Sun Weiguo didn't want the entire 5th Battalion to be wiped out, he wanted to leave seeds for the 5th Battalion.

"The division commander, the Military Commission, and the headquarters of the commander of the Second Theater sent a telegram again, and the chairman and Chief Yan demanded that we immediately evacuate Wutai County."

Huang Guohua, chief of the Operations Section, came to Sun Weiguo's side, Huang Guohua took two telegrams, and he handed them directly to Sun Weiguo.

Sun Weiguo took the message and looked at it, there was a helpless expression on his face, he shook his head lightly, and he didn't answer for a long time.

Now that the troops of the Honorary Second Division have completely exchanged fire with the Japanese troops, if the troops of the Honorary Second Division are evacuated at this time, the Japanese troops will definitely bite the troops of the Honorary Second Division.

What's more, once the troops of Sun Weiguo's Honor Second Division withdraw from Wutai County, once the Japanese army captures Wutai County, it will bring a devastating blow to the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the base area of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will also be completely lost, and Sun Weiguo will definitely not allow this to happen.

"The Honorary Second Division is a unit with a very glorious record, and I have a lot of pressure to command such a unit to fight, for many people, the Honorary Second Division should have won the battle, but if it loses, it will be infamous on its back. The commanders all wanted the troops of the Honorary 2nd Division to win the battle, but they did not want the troops of the Honorary 2nd Division to be in danger. I understand the kindness of the chairman and Chief Yan, the honorary second division is the unit that I brought up single-handedly, if our honorary second division is destined to perish in Wutai County, then the little devils will also have to pay a heavier price, and we must not give up Wutai County. ”

Sun Weiguo put the two telegrams on the table, and he said in a serious tone.

"Division Commander, how do we call back to the Chairman and Chief Yan?" Huang Guohua asked softly.

"The professional army has the responsibility to defend the territory, and vows to live and die together with Wutai, and the whole army of the Second Division of Honor died in Wutai, and the will of all the anti-Japanese officers and soldiers of the Second Division of my honor will never perish, we are born as anti-Japanese soldiers, and we die as the soul of the anti-Japanese army, only every inch of land, and never give up!"

Sun Weiguo looked at the map, he looked towards North China, East China, Northeast China, most of the cities and towns in these areas are marked with the Japanese military flag, especially the entire Northeast region, all are Japanese military flags, Sun Weiguo's right hand is tightly clenched into a fist, this is his shame, but also the shame of all soldiers.

"Fight, fight here, fight to the last soldier, if Wutai County falls into the hands of the little devil, my Sun Weiguo will commit suicide to thank the countrymen."

Sun Weiguo's right fist slammed into the map, and he said with a determined expression on his face.

"Yes, Commander." Huang Guohua saluted Sun Weiguo, and he immediately began to arrange for the communication corps to generate electricity.

Sun Weiguo's eyes shifted to the location of Daixian on the map, he was ready to start attacking the Japanese troops in Daixian, and he wanted to complete the battle plan in the shortest possible time.
