Section 40 Battle of Dongguan (6)
This battle frustrated the momentum of the Chen army, and the Chen army did not attack for the next half hour. After Zhuang Jihua inspected the position, he came to Du Yuming to see how well the workers were training.
Huang Mingcheng's opinion of Zhuang Jihua changed greatly at this time, and in the first confrontation, Zhuang Jihua did not join the battle, making him think that this company commander was a coward, and then saw Zhuang Jihua full of foul language, and he was surprised in his heart, he was simply a soldier ruffian, that point was like an officer with revolutionary education in Huangpu, and during the interval of the battle, he quietly asked Cao Yuanzhuang if the company commander was born in the army; Cao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then told him with a smile that Company Commander Zhuang not only graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, but also studied in the United States, and was inspired by the premier to return to China to participate in the revolution. This made Huang Mingcheng strange and a little admired.
Seeing Zhuang Jihua coming, he was about to catch up, but was stopped by Du Yuming, he was stunned or obeyed the order to return to the queue, Zhuang Jihua came to the queue, he faced eighty-two workers, eighty-two simple faces, eighty-two pairs of eyes revealed different eyes.
"We are facing more than a thousand enemies, who have retreated from Changping, our troops are chasing them behind, and they must defeat us before they can escape. Our task is to hold them back here until the pursuing troops come up. They also know this, so they will attack without their lives next, the battle will be very hard, and many people will die. ”
Zhuang Jihua said that he stopped here, looked at the eighty-two people in front of him, and sure enough, there was a buzz in the crowd.
"When will our men arrive?"
"How long are we going to keep watch?"
"Are we going to die?" Someone asked nervously, and the crowd fell silent.
Zhuang Jihua was silent and said: "When the follow-up troops will arrive, I don't know." The only thing I can tell you is that all those who take part in the battle have the potential to die, and the odds of death are likely to be high. "The workers didn't understand what chance meant, but they guessed it wasn't a good word.
"I....I don't force everyone to participate, and I also hope that you who have wives and children will not participate, put down your guns and go home." Zhuang Jihua finally couldn't ruthlessly throw these untrained people into the battlefield. Huang Mingcheng was a little stunned when he heard Zhuang Jihua say this, and then he was about to speak.
"Chairman Huang, please wait a moment." Zhuang Jihua stopped him, he said a little heavily: "The road of revolution is very long, I don't care about this moment, if you die at this time, what will happen to your wife and children?" ”
It will take more than 20 years for the revolution to succeed; The respect for life advocated in his previous life left a deep trace in his mind, and the great revolution in history ended in failure.
"Company Commander Zhuang," Huang Mingcheng shouted very dissatisfied, "Then why are you still guarding here." ”
"We're soldiers, you're not." Zhuang Jihua stared at Huang Mingcheng sternly.
"We are revolutionaries, we have a duty to eliminate the counter-revolution, and we are not afraid of death." Huang Mingcheng retorted without showing weakness: "Workers, are you afraid of death? ”
"Don't be afraid." The voice hesitated.
"Workers, over the years, we have been oppressed by foreigners on the railway, by the capitalists in the forest farm, and by the road guards. If we want to live a good life, we can only drive away warlords like Chen Jiongming and foreigners, and we will be the masters of our own affairs. Some of us will die, but the union will still exist, and the union will take care of your family. The more Huang Mingcheng spoke, the more excited he became, he raised his gun and shouted: "The workers in the world are one family, if you want to turn over and be the master, workers, fight!" ”
"Fight! Fight! Huang Mingcheng's words were very encouraging, and the workers all raised their weapons in excitement and shouted loudly.
"Company Commander Zhuang, you give the order." Huang Mingcheng turned to Zhuang Jihua again and said, Zhuang Jihua was helpless.
After waiting for the workers to calm down, he pointed to a middle-aged man with a swarthy face who looked to be in his forties and asked, "Who else do you have in your family?" ”
"Wife, three sons, and a daughter." The middle-aged man replied.
"You go back, Platoon Commander Du got his gun."
Then he said to Huang Mingcheng: "First, keep some seeds for your union; Second, he lives not only to take care of his own family, but also to take care of other people's families. I don't have time to discuss it with you; Platoon Commander Du did as I said. ”
Huang Mingcheng opened his mouth and closed it again. Later, Zhuang Jihua picked out a few more teenagers who he thought were old, and two teenagers who were obviously under the age of 18, and handed them over to Du Yuming for further training. Before leaving, he told Du Yuming and Huang Mingcheng that their training must be accelerated, and they may be asked to go to school soon.
Before Zhuang Jihua returned to the company, the shells whistled down, and the Chen army attacked again, this time the shelling lasted significantly longer, it took seven or eight minutes, and then the black pressure pressed the enemy again, and it quickly rushed into a hundred meters.
The seventh company fired rows of guns, and the Chen soldiers on the opposite side fell down in rows, but the live ones still rushed forward, "grenades", Zhuang Jihua shouted, the soldiers threw grenades one after another, and a series of explosions suppressed the momentum of the Chen army's attack, and then the two sides turned into the opposite shooting, the Chen army set up two machine guns on a mound on the opposite side, and fired wildly at the seventh company, under the cover of the machine guns, the Chen soldiers gradually climbed forward, Zhuang Jihua quickly asked Zhang Sanwa to knock out the enemy's machine gun, Zhang Sanwa found a corner after receiving the order, and snapped two shots, Let Chen Jun's machine gun be dumb.
The Chen soldiers who had some courage just now were silent again, but the Chen army machine gun soon rang out again, and Zhang Sanwa was also discovered, a machine gun specifically suppressed him, under the suppression of the machine gun, Zhang Sanwa could not raise his head, the bullet hit the stone, and the splashed stone nitrate hit the face painfully. Then Chen Jun brought up a few more machine guns, and the firepower of the Seventh Company was completely suppressed.
The firepower of the Seventh Company weakened, and the soldiers of the Chen Army took the opportunity to rush over with a shout, "Grenade!" Zhuang Jihua frantically threw the grenade out, and the grenade thrown by the Seventh Company burst out in front of the position, "Continue." Don't stand up", the grenades of the Seventh Company kept outward, the explosions in front of the position came and went, and the soldiers of the Chen Army who risked the attack suffered heavy casualties, and the rest retreated, but they were killed by the Inspector without taking two steps back, and the rest rushed up hard.
"Dut" Chen Jun sounded the trumpet, under the cover of seven machine guns, Chen Jun soldiers quickly rushed through the remaining forty or fifty meters distance into the town, the soldiers of the seventh company did not retreat, stubbornly responded, Zhuang Jihua held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, cut and shot at a distance, and took a few soldiers to rush back and forth in front of the formation, Tang Qijun took three soldiers to block the breakthrough, a group of enemies surrounded them, Cao Yuan was anxious to take people to answer, but was entangled by another group of enemies. The two sides fought to the death at the breach.
Tang Qijun has been wounded in three places, but he has no time to bandage the wounds, only let the blood flow down, followed by three soldiers who have sacrificed two, but the enemy has fallen seven or eight, he and another soldier back to back against the six or seven enemies surrounding them, the command knife has cut out two gaps, blood dripped down the blade, and there was a burst of pain from the wound, he grinned in pain, the enemy in front saw his discomfort, and a shot stabbed him in the lower abdomen, knocked lightly, it was really a false move, Then he stepped sideways to avoid the bayonet from the right and slashed at the head of the enemy soldier on the right, while stepping back to maintain formation with the soldiers behind him. The remaining enemies saw that this officer, although wounded, was still difficult to deal with, so they wrapped two bayonets around Tang Qijun, and the others were bent on dealing with the soldier, killing the soldier in a hurry.
Tang Qijun saw the enemy's intentions and shouted behind him, "Follow me." Then he took the initiative to attack, and he slashed at the enemy soldier in front of him with a single sword, and the enemy soldier raised his gun to block, but he did not wait for the knife to be implemented, and gently turned the knife light and swept the throat of the enemy soldier on the left, and the soldier threw down the gun, covered his throat, made a gurgling sound, and knelt down as soon as his feet were weak.
The soldier behind him let out a miserable scream, Tang Qijun looked back, and the soldier was bleeding from his mouth, and two bloody arrows spurted out of his body, falling at his feet. Tang Qijun didn't have time to grieve, two bayonets had been stabbed in front of him, left and right bows to block two shots, turned around to let go of the front stab, and then cut off the head of the enemy soldier, at this time he felt a pain in his waist, a little knife tip rushed out of his abdomen, blood was dripping, he turned his head and saw that the enemy soldier's face was hideous and he was using all his strength to push the bayonet forward, under the severe pain, Tang Qijun reversed the blade, held the knife in his backhand, and stabbed into the body of the enemy soldier, and then two bayonets were inserted into his chest.
Tang Qijun, deputy platoon commander of the third platoon of the Seventh Company, and a graduate of the first phase of Huangpu, was killed in the Zhangmutou blockade.
The breakthrough expanded, and Chen's army poured into the position of the Seventh Company, and the position of the Seventh Company was crumbling.
