Chapter 70: The Battle of Chaohu Lake (11)
Not long after Zhang Cheng's order was delivered, Zhang Quming sent about a regiment of soldiers to begin carrying the corpses. After the corpses www.biquge.info of the Japanese soldiers were disposed of, Zhang Quming walked up to Zhang Cheng and asked, "Master!" So what about our brothers' corpses? Is it buried in situ? ”
Zhang Cheng thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Cremate all the bodies of all the fallen brothers, and take them all away when we retreat!" ”
"Yes!" When Zhang Quming heard Zhang Cheng's words, he choked up and saluted Zhang Cheng, turned around and left. Looking at the back of Zhang Quming leaving, the special combat team member next to Zhang Cheng asked, "Division!" I have a question for you? ”
Zhang Cheng smiled and replied, "Just ask if you have anything!" Don't be embarrassed! Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the special combat team members boldly asked, "Division!" Why were the bodies of the fallen brothers cremated and taken away?! ”
Zhang Cheng looked at the special combat team members and said, "The soldiers who died in battle, they died for the country!" As their comrades-in-arms, you must remember four words! Zhang Cheng said word by word: "Don't leave and never give up!" Don't abandon! Don't give up! ”
"Don't leave it! Don't abandon! Don't give up!? The special combat team members muttered repeatedly in confusion. Hearing the muttering voices of the special combat members, Zhang Cheng smiled and just wanted to explain, Gao Zhisong found Zhang Cheng with a telegram and said, "Sit, sit!" Now the little devils seem to have their eyes on us! The telegraph office has just deciphered the telegram of the Japanese Shanghai Front! Now our opponents are the 9th and 18th Divisions! As he spoke, Gao Zhisong handed the telegram to Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng took the telegram and looked at it and said, "I really didn't expect that the devil Shanghai Front would send the Yamamoto detachment to the Ninth Division!" Looks like we're going to face a terrible battle! ”
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Cheng, who returned to the headquarters, frowned and thought about it and asked, "Old Gao!" If we suddenly appear behind the devil Yamamoto detachment now, how do you say the little devil will react? Gao Zhisong thought for a while and replied: "It is very likely that the little devil will think that he is just a scout of the Chinese army, and he will not take it to heart!" ”
Hearing Gao Zhisong's analysis, Zhang Cheng shook his head, and just when he wanted to say something, Zhao Ziqing ran to Zhang Cheng with a telegram and said, "Master!" Replenish the brigade emergency electricity! Gao Zhisong, who was on the side, immediately took the telegram, looked at it and said, "Shi sit, this is a telegram for help from the supplementary brigade!" They were suddenly attacked by Yamamoto's detachment and now suffer heavy losses! ”
When Zhang Cheng heard Gao Zhisong's words, he immediately frowned and said, "How does the supplementary brigade defend?" When is it, and careless! ”
"Song Hu, call Song Hu to me" Gao Zhisong walked to Zhang Cheng's side and asked, "Sit, teacher!" Are you going to let Song Hu lead the special combat team to reinforce the supplementary brigade? Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "If we go directly from the underground to the outskirts of Yinping Town and attack directly from behind the Yamamoto detachment, what do you think are the chances of winning?!" ”
Gao Zhisong took a deep breath and said, "I don't think the odds are good!" Maybe we'll put the special forces in there! Hearing Gao Zhisong's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "I also prepared a second dish for the little devil!" Saying that, Zhang Cheng said to Zhao Ziqing: "Immediately send a telegram to the special operations team and ask them to transfer the captured devil cannon to the periphery of Yinping Town!" Hit the little devils with the devil's artillery! ”
Gao Zhisong couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhang Cheng's arrangement, and said: "Shi Sit, I really didn't expect you to let the special operations team members directly enter the battle!" As soon as Gao Zhisong's words fell, the herald shouted: "Report to the master's seat!" Battalion Commander Song Hu has arrived! Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Let him in!" ”
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Song Hu walked into the command headquarters, saluted Zhang Cheng and said, "Report to the division commander Song Hu to report to you!" When Zhang Cheng heard Song Hu's words, he smiled and said, "Okay! You won't use this set for the two of us! Have a seat! Saying that, Zhang Cheng personally poured a glass of water for Song Hu, handed it over, and asked, "Now I'll give you a task?" ”
As soon as Song Hu heard that there was a task, he immediately got serious and said, "Master! If you have any tasks, just say it! I promise to complete the mission! Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay!" I'm relieved to have your words! Saying that, Zhang Cheng pointed to the map and said: "Now that the supplementary brigade of Yinping Town is being attacked by the Japanese Yamamoto detachment, I want you to take the special combat team out at the exit on the outskirts of Yinping Town and attack from behind the Yamamoto detachment!" Don't worry, I will let the members of the special operations team assist you in the attack with the captured Japanese heavy artillery! ”
When Song Hu heard Zhang Cheng's words, he nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Master!" After we have dealt with the Yamamoto detachment, will we continue to hold on to Yinping Town or will we withdraw it?! Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "After solving the Yamamoto detachment, you will definitely attract the attention of the little devils, so I order your department and the special operations team members to move freely!" The only requirement is to preserve your strength and annihilate more devils! ”
As soon as Zhang Cheng's words fell, Song Hu immediately stood up and said excitedly: "Guarantee to complete the task!" After speaking, Song Hu saluted Zhang Cheng, turned around, and ran out of the headquarters quickly.
Just when Zhang Cheng dispatched troops to rearrange the defense of Chaohu, Song Meiling walked to President Jiang's side with a telegram from the United States and Britain and said, "Darling! Now the international community is paying attention to Chaohu! They couldn't believe that the little Chaohu Lake had you arranged a division! In the case of eliminating one division of the Japanese army, it can also contain the strength of two elite divisions of the Japanese army! This is the message I have just translated, see for yourself! ”
When President Jiang heard Song Meiling's words, he took the telegram and looked at it carefully and said: "The Americans and the British are not optimistic about Zhang Cheng, thinking that his troops will be completely annihilated by the Japanese army in Chaohu!" But I believe that Zhang Cheng will not let me down! Without waiting for President Jiang to finish speaking, He Yingqin took the telegram and anxiously walked into President Jiang's office and said, "Take a seat!" The supplementary brigade defending Yinping Town suddenly sent a telegram asking Zhang Chengbu for help! ”
"What?!" President Jiang squinted his eyes and looked at He Yingqin with an angry face and asked, "What's going on?!" Why did the Japanese army run to Yinping Town," said President Jiang, who walked back and forth twice in his office and said: "Immediately send a telegram to ask Zhang Cheng how the situation in Chaohu Lake is now?" ”
"Yes!" Saying that, He Yingqin hurriedly walked out of President Jiang's office. After He Yingqin left, Song Meiling said seriously: "Darling! Is Chaohu Lake very dangerous now? President Jiang nodded undeniably and said, "Yes!" Now Chaohu Lake and Taierzhuang are the last line of defense for the success of the Battle of Xuzhou! ”
Zhang Cheng didn't want to answer directly: "Call back truthfully!" I've already figured out Lao Jiang's temper! As long as you tell him the truth about what he should know, then even if you are defeated in the future, he will not do anything to you, and he will use you even more! ”
Gao Zhisong heard Zhang Cheng's words, nodded and immediately walked to the telecommunications room next door. After Gao Zhisong left, Zhang Cheng, who had just been free, just picked up the teacup and drank two sips of water, and after a while, he saw Gao Zhisong holding a telegram and shouting loudly while walking into the headquarters: "Master sit!" President Jiang called back! Saying that, Gao Zhisong walked into the headquarters, Zhang Cheng took the telegram, looked at it carefully, and said: "With this telegram from President Jiang, it will be much easier for us to act in the future!" ”
At the same time, Song Hu led the troops of the special operations battalion to complete the assembly near the outskirts of Yinping Town, and the communications staff officer ran to Song Hu with a telegram and said, "Captain! Special operations squad members are in a hurry! Song Hu took the telegram, looked at it, and casually handed the telegram to his staff officer Jiang Bin and said: "I really didn't expect the special combat company to move so fast!" ”
Jiang Bin nodded and replied, "Captain! Now that we have so many heavy artillery, we can also give the little devils a taste of cannonballs! Song Hu nodded when he heard Jiang Bin's words, and calmly said to the communications staff officer: "Call back immediately!" Let the special operations team members immediately deploy, and our department will launch an attack on the Japanese Yamamoto detachment in twenty minutes! ”
Three or four minutes later, Sun Feixing received a call back from Song Hu. After reading the telegram, Sun Feixing immediately commanded the special combat team member Lian Mali to manipulate the artillery and aim at the Japanese Yamamoto detachment. Time passed minute by minute, Sun Feixing looked at his watch and said, "Two test shots!" ”
In the blink of an eye, two shells exploded around the Japanese detachment of Yamamoto. After observing the effect of the shelling, Sun Feixing ordered seriously: "The elevation angle is increased by one degree, and the secret position is adjusted by three numbers!" Twelve rapid fires, fire! As Sun Feixing's orders continued to be issued, the artillery controlled by the members of the special operations team immediately became busy.
Not far away, Song Hu, whose troops had already deployed, couldn't help but exclaim, looking at the effect of the shelling: "Great! Keep playing! Jiang Bin, the chief of staff on the side, heard Song Hu's shout, pulled Song Hu and said, "Captain! When will you attack? ”
Song Hu, who came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Order the troops to attack immediately!" "The troops who received the order immediately launched an attack on the Japanese Yamamoto detachment in accordance with the pre-set!
Under the fierce artillery fire, the Yamamoto detachment, which had high morale and other aspects, was suddenly blinded. Just when Major General Tomoto Yamamoto, the head of the Yamamoto detachment, was distracted, the guard with quick reflexes flew up and pressed Yamamoto under him. Then I saw four or five shells fall around Yamamoto.
After a while, Yamamoto pushed away the guards who were pressing on him, and ordered without hesitation: "The 42nd Wing immediately blocks the Shina Army attacking from behind!" Saying that, Tomoshi Yamamoto said to his chief of staff, Hinata Yamamoto: "Send a telegram immediately and ask for tactical guidance from the Air Force!" At the same time, let the 9th Division send reinforcements! ”
"Hey!" Chief of Staff Hinata Yamamoto hurriedly got up from the ground, ran to the radio station quickly, and sent out a rescue telegram. As soon as the telegram was sent, Kendasa, the commander of the 42nd Wing, hurriedly ran to Yamamoto's side and said, "Your Excellency, Detachment Leader! The situation is very bad for us! The combat effectiveness of the China Army that suddenly appeared behind was very strong! ”
Without waiting for Yamamoto Ken to finish speaking, Yamamoto said seriously: "Captain, no matter what, you immediately give me the troops to block the Chinese army!" Do you understand? Yamamoto Ken heard Yamamoto's words, hesitated for a moment, then saluted Yamamoto Tomoto, drew his command knife and returned to the position.
Just as Yamamoto returned to the position, Song Hu personally led his troops to strangle with the 42nd Wing. Seeing this scene, Yamamoto Ken's back was cold, and he immediately killed the Chinese army.
After a fight, Yamamoto Jian's Chinese army's dense firepower was frightened, and looking at the soldiers who continued to fall under the intensive fire attack of the Chinese army, Yamamoto Jianjian gave the order to shrink his forces. Tomoshi Yamamoto, who was not far behind, saw this scene and immediately frowned and asked, "What is the reaction of the Hyuga Ninth Division?!" ”
Chief of Staff Hinata Yamamoto replied seriously: "So far, the Ninth Division has not had any reaction!" But His Excellency the division commander called, let's temporarily abandon Yinping Town, Chaohu and Hou Guoqi detachment converge! ”
"To the West! Order the artillery to shoot all the shells and cover the withdrawal of the troops! With that, Yamamoto straightened his clothes and walked quickly onto the chariot and left.
With the order to retreat from Yamamoto, the replenishment brigade, which was already in trouble, finally eased up. Li Qinwen, the commander of the replenishment brigade who had just recovered his strength, immediately asked: "How are the casualties of our department?" Chief of Staff Zhang Changrui earnestly took the summary results and replied: "There are more than 2,000 casualties, and the vitality is greatly damaged, and the commander of the first regiment is seriously injured, and he has not woken up yet." ”
At the same time, after getting rid of contact with the Japanese army, Song Hu immediately said to Jiang Bin, the chief of staff: "Immediately gather the troops and prepare to cover the evacuation of the special combat company!" Jiang Bin nodded when he heard Song Hu's order and replied, "Don't worry! I'll arrange it right away! Saying that, Jiang Bin began to get busy.
About half an hour later, Sun Feixing and the special operations team converged with Song Hu. After the convergence, Song Hu looked at the cannon dragged on the truck behind Sun Feixing and said with a smile: "With this thing, we don't have to be afraid of the little devil's cannon!" Before Song Hu finished speaking, the sound of an airplane roaring came from the sky.
