Chapter 129: The Name of the Army!!
In 1938, on January 15, the 27th year of the Republic of China, Tang Shizun, deputy commander of the Third Theater of the National Political Axe and commander-in-chief of the 23rd Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, issued a general offensive order!
This is the first time that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan army has undertaken a large-scale combat mission, and it is the main attack!
3 a.m.
After the assembly of the divisions of the Sichuan Army, Tang Shizun, deputy commander of the Third Theater and commander-in-chief of the 23rd Group Army, personally appeared in front of all the officers and men of the 26th Division, which was responsible for the assault mission.
It was night, the torches were bright, and more than 10,000 Sichuan soldiers were in high spirits and high spirits.
Since rushing to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, although the officers and men of the Sichuan Army have fought bloodily and never retreated, they have always been on the defensive and suffered heavy casualties!
This time, however, it was different.
This time it's the initiative, it's a big counteroffensive! It was the first active attack of the National Revolutionary Army since the fall of Nanjing!
This honor once again fell to the soldiers of the Sichuan Army!
When Tang Shizun appeared in front of the officers and soldiers of the 26th Division, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers let out an earth-shaking roar:
"Counterattack Wuhu!! Long live the War of Resistance!! Counterattack Wuhu!! Long live the War of Resistance!! ”
The sound is earth-shattering, crying and saying the moon, enduring, and the breath runs through Changhong!!
"Brothers, brothers of the 26th Division!" Tang Shizun's voice sounded in the ears of all the officers and men of the 26th Division:
"Since the Sichuan Army swore out of Sichuan, we have fought bloody battles in Shanghai, fought hard in Jiangyin, and fought viciously in Nanjing, but they were all beaten by Japanese invaders, and we defended, today, on January 15, 27 years of the Republic of China, our 23rd Group Army, but we are going to counterattack!"
"Counterattack Wuhu!! The Sichuan army will win!! ”
Such a cry resounded throughout the audience again!
Tang Shizun waved his hand, and immediately became silent, and then, Tang Shizun's voice sounded again:
"There is only one road ahead of us: kill! Win! We must defend like an iron wall, and attack like a sharp arrow and a spear! In this big counteroffensive, even if there is only one person left in my 23rd Group Army, we must take Wuhu down for me! For the glory of our 23rd Group Army, for the glory of our entire Sichuan Army!
Brothers, I have fought a lot of battles in the past half of my life, fighting with the army of Sichuan, fighting with the Hong army, and fighting with the central army, but there has never been a battle, and it excites me as much as fighting with the Orientals! Brethren, this is a national war, and if we lose, we don't even have a kingdom! People have dogs who lose their homes, but if we lose the national war, we are the slaves of the country!
The ancients had a poem, the yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken! I will change these three words to you:
The yellow sand wears the armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break it, you won't return it! ”
The voice of tens of thousands of soldiers sounded for the third time:
"The yellow sand wears the armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break it, you won't return it!"
This voice has been loud over the battlefield, Tang Shizun looked at the soldiers who were high-spirited and generous to death, and said loudly:
"Who is the one who dares to die!"
"Report to Commander-in-Chief Don!" Liu Yuqing, commander of the 26th Division, stepped forward: "I, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 76th Brigade of the 151st Brigade of the 26th Division, Gao Fei!" ”
"Fly high!"
"The commander of the 26th Battalion of the 76th Regiment of the 151st Brigade of the 3rd Division has flown high!"
"I know that your 26th Division has a dead-word flag, and as soon as the dead-word flag comes out, everyone will die, today, on behalf of the 23rd Group Army, on behalf of the million-dollar Sichuan Army, I will give you another big flag!" Tang Shizun's voice sounded in everyone's ears:
"Up-flag!"
An officer held a folded military flag in his hand and walked up to Gao Fei:
"Goofy, take the flag!"
Gao Fei took it with a solemn expression, and Yu Wenzheng quickly came up with a flagpole, Gao Fei put the flag up, and then raised his arm vigorously, and the flag was hula. There were two words written on it:
"Tiger Ben"!
"The military name is Tiger, invincible!" Tang Shizun said sharply.
"Hooray!! Banzai!! ”
Accompanied by Tang Shizun's voice, more than 10,000 soldiers shouted in unison.
The military name is Tiger, invincible!
At this moment, the fighting spirit, confidence, and courage of all 416 officers and men of the entire 3rd Battalion, which acted as the vanguard of the whole division, were thoroughly aroused.
What a great honor to name a small battalion personally!
"The military name is Tiger, invincible!"
Gao Fei's voice sounded in the ears of the officers and men of the whole division, and he glanced at the big banner of death that was proudly erected in the 3rd Battalion, and then at the Tiger Ben battle flag, and with a wave in his hand, a bayonet was already in his hand.
The 415 brothers of the 3rd battalion, all the same as their own battalion commanders, have bayonets in hand!
Goofy rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, swung his bayonet, stabbed his arm, and blood flowed out.
All the officers and men of the 3rd Battalion rolled up the sleeve of their left arm, waved their bayonets, and stabbed their arms, causing blood to flow out.
Gao Fei smeared his own blood on the battle flag, and then took the military flag, and Yu Wenzheng also smeared the blood on the military flag. Then, Gao Fei walked in front of the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, and every brother smeared his own blood on the battle flag!
This is a battle flag dyed red with 416 brethren; This is a battle flag stained red with the blood of all the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army and the soldiers and civilians of the National War of Resistance!
This is a blood-colored battle flag!
Give a flag and carry it with you at all times. Wipe blood when wounded, and wrap up after death. Go forward bravely, don't forget your duty!
The earnest exhortation of the Sichuan fathers and elders sounded in the ears of all officers and soldiers at this time.
Gao Fei held the military flag stained red by the blood of 416 brothers, and strode in front of Liu Yuqing:
"Report to the sir, the 3rd Battalion is ready to go out!"
"3rd Battalion, let's go!"
Gao Fei personally held the flag and said sharply:
"3rd Battalion, let's go!"
The night wind is howling, and the strong men are on the march; The trumpet is tragic, and the warriors attack!
Behind the 3rd Battalion, the Sichuan Army anthem suddenly sounded:
"A man rides the wind to break thousands of miles, it is best to die on the battlefield, how to become famous before the national humiliation, and the sword is carried out on the expedition. Resist power, remove national thieves, sweep away the atmosphere and conquer the Yu domain, reckless Great Wall, go in and out, and broadcast the sound of heroes on the earth! ”
This is a military song for the 3rd Battalion,
The singing rang out again and again, and the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, who had no hesitation to go forward, responded to their brothers with the same singing:
"The frost wind is fluttering, the iron cavalry has thousands of groups, holding high the autumn rolls and thousands of clouds, and the Yuejia army is tall. Resist power, get rid of national thieves, drown the head of the enemy and talk about the blood, the atmosphere of the sea in the east, the dust in the west, and the war to make meritorious deeds! ”
How magnificent it is to pierce the night sky with the singing!
Tang Shizun's blood was boiling at this moment, and he couldn't wait to turn himself into an ordinary soldier immediately, and devote himself to this impassioned counteroffensive together!
This major counteroffensive itself has political significance, but when the day of the counteroffensive really comes, all political significance and factional struggles are left behind.
In the minds of all officers and soldiers, there is only one belief:
Fight to the death for the country, never retreat!
In 1938, on January 15, the 27th year of the Republic of China, the Wuhu counteroffensive of the 23rd Group Army of the Sichuan Army, which was about to attract the attention of the whole [***] people, began!
