After walking for several hours, they caught up with a force of more than two thousand people. The troops, each with one horse in hand, struggled forward. The horses were carried on large shelves, covered with tarpaulin, and they did not look light.
They walked all night, and at dawn they entered a dam. The people of the southwest call the flat land between the mountains dam, and there are several stockades in this dam, a small river flows through the middle, and the paddy fields are very neatly maintained.
Zhou Jianchu's team entered a large village, and the injury was immediately sent to the cave behind the village. Zhou Jianchu also followed the wounded into the cave, he couldn't believe it, this hospital is not simple, there are many doctors with glasses, and female nurses.
The wounded were settled, and so did the dozens of them who were not injured.
Just after eating at noon, Brother Qin and a person came. Seeing this person, Zhou Jianchu and several others stood up unconsciously. Although this person was dressed in civilian clothes, he was obviously a high-ranking official, with a smile on his face and was very kind.
The man smiled and said, "Sit down and keep eating." You have worked hard to guard Guilin, and I salute you for coming. β
Brother Qin said: "This is our Commander Wei, come and see everyone." β
Commander Wei took a bowl of rice handed over by a person, ate with everyone, and said, "It's not easy to see everyone today, just when you left the position, the devil put a poison gas bomb. Although we blew up a batch when we shelled, after all, there are still some that have not been blown up. We have penicillin, but there are very few medicines for gas. β
When everyone saw that the chief was eating with everyone, and they were eating the same, they all understood who they were.
Zhou Jianchu: "Thank you for saving your life." Penicillin was exchanged for gold, and I really don't know how to repay it. β
Commander Wei smiled: "You don't have to repay us personally. It's okay to repay if you want to, but it's not easy. β
Several veterans said, "Say it, sir." β
Commander Wei smiled: "If you want to repay it, join my troops and fight the Oriental ghosts with me." β
The crowd was silent.
Commander Wei still smiled: "Do you think I'm not trustworthy? β
Zhou Jianchu said: "It's worth it." I've heard that many of your men died trying to save us. β
Commander Wei still smiled and said, "What are your concerns? β
Zhou Jianchu: "We are a regular army. Besides, how will the governor explain it in the future? β
Brother Qin said: "Brother, you see how we are better than the regular army. β
Zhou Jianchu: "More powerful than the regular army." β
Brother Qin said: "To tell you the truth, our commander has led tens of thousands of people before, all of them are regular troops. β
Commander Wei said: "It's okay, let's think about it again." Wait a minute, we'll have someone come and tell you what kind of team we're on. The Oriental ghosts have hit our doorstep, can we chase the Japanese ghosts like the warlord troops? β
Brother Qin said: "Japanese ghosts rape women and women, burn houses, kill people, do anything. A few days ago, we fought guerrilla warfare in the whole county and saved a village. There is a villager in a village, his wife raped more than 40 Japanese ghosts to death, and there is another one, his wife was raped by Japanese ghosts, and he also asked the Taiwanese porter who accompanied the army to rape women, and finally died. β
Everyone was outraged. Some of the family members have suffered the loss of Japanese ghosts, and they can't help but recall the past, some cry, and some are angry.
Brother Qin said: "Don't think about how the chief will explain there. Wei Yunsong, the commander of Guilin's city defense, had already led people to break through. He Weizhen, the commander of the 31st Army, also led a small number of staff members to escape. In addition, more than 2,000 officers and men under Chen Jiheng, chief of staff of the Guilin Defense Command, Lu Zhanmeng, chief of staff of the 31st Army, and Hu Yuanji, deputy commander of the 170th Division, were killed. The whereabouts of Kan Weiyong, the commander of the 131st Division, are unknown, and some people say that he committed suicide and died a martyr. With the militias, we had almost 4,000 dead. The remaining 10,000 were rescued by us and more than 7,000, and the rest were probably taken prisoner. β
Zhou Jianchu said: "Commander Wei, I want to ask a question. β
Commander Wei: "At first glance, you are a student soldier. Go ahead. β
Zhou Jianchu said: "You have so many troops, why don't you fight the Oriental ghost now?" β
When Commander Wei heard this, he laughed and said, "Do you want to see us fight Oriental ghosts?" Follow me, and you'll know in less than three or four days. When we harass us everywhere, they don't dare to walk around and grab food indiscriminately. Then we organize the people and hide the grain, and the people will hide it. So that they have nothing to eat. Then we waited on the road and killed them. This is mass warfare, this is guerrilla warfare. β
After everyone rested, they continued to move forward, and Zhou Jianchu and their team walked to the next village. Here, they saw hundreds of veterans rescued from the battlefield of Guilin.
That night, everyone was told that Liuzhou had also been lost.
The veteran said that the army had a meeting every night at dinner, sometimes to announce decisions, sometimes to preach the situation, sometimes to learn to sing, and most of the time to learn culture.
There is a big event tonight, the cultural class has been canceled, and the situation is preached. The chief of staff of the regiment announced the incident in Liuzhou to everyone.
The specific time was November 10, and the 3rd Division of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army began to attack Liuzhou.
In the early morning, the 34th Wing of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army and the 3rd Brigade of the 161st Wing of the 104th Division captured Liuzhou Airport. 30 U.S. Army Air Force support fighters and Guilin Airport were destroyed by the Japanese army.
In the afternoon, it burst into Liuzhou City. The 26th Army was ordered to withdraw westward on the grounds that the situation in Guilin was unclear and that unnecessary sacrifices should be avoided. A battalion engaged in a street battle with the Japanese army in the northern urban area of Liujiang, and all of them were killed; Two battalions were encircled during the destruction of warehouses and suffered heavy losses. On the 11th, the 4th Theater of Operations ordered the divisions to move westward on the grounds that Guilin had fallen and there was no longer the need to hold Liuzhou, and the battle ended.
Zhang Fakui's troops retreated in the direction of Nanning Baise.
The next day, the militia moved with the rout. It can be seen that the troops are gradually moving in a northwesterly direction. In the following ten days, he lived in seven places. Every day, in addition to recuperating from the wounded, there are also people who come to teach cultural lessons, talk about the war situation, and reason. In the evening, I also sang and watched plays.
Soon, everyone liked the unit. Some veterans have already asked to join. Zhou Jianchu's group, except for a few who smoked a lot of cigarettes, and the ruffians were sent home, and everyone else joined the militia. Brother Qin is their leader.
After joining the militia group, I realized that this unit was not a militia at all, but a regular army, and it did not have a regular number, and its own number was the Southwest Anti-Japanese Allied Army. Commander Wei turned out to be a division commander of the New Fourth Army, and the troops were in the entire southwest, south China, and even Burma, and the commander-in-chief turned out to be the commander of the Eighth Route Army.
On November 25, Regiment Commander Qin led more than 2,000 people to fight a battle, ambushed more than 100 Japanese soldiers on the road, and wiped them out. This time, they were not going to exterminate the Japanese, but to pick up a convoy. The convoy had more than fifty small boats along a small river. There was a section of the river that happened to be very close to the road, and I ran into this group of devils.
More than fifty small boats brought a large number of new guns, all submachine guns. All squad leaders and some veterans were armed with submachine guns. In addition, there are several ships of medicines, which I heard are transported from the northeast outside the Kansai area.
In the evening, the instructor gave a conference to talk about the world situation: the situation in Europe has changed in recent days, the Allies have completely liberated Paris a few days ago, the French government has been established in Paris, and France has declared its independence from the German fascists.
In the Asian theater, the U.S. military sank three more Japanese aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean and occupied several islands. Because the Japanese devils lost these islands, Nanyang was almost unable to keep it.
There is also good news, on November 10, that is, two weeks ago, the great traitor Wang Jingwei has died, died in Tokyo.
The situation in the country, the north is very good, the New Fourth Army in Jiangsu fought several battles in northern Jiangsu, and the territory of the Japanese in Jiangsu was reduced by half. The south is very poor, and there are two ways for the **** in Guangxi to escape, one is from Liuzhou to the north and flees to Guizhou, and the other is from Guizhou to the south and flees to Nanning.
All the way to the north, the Japanese army chased fast and had already caught up with the refugees.
The road to the south was also not optimistic, because the Japanese army went all the way west from Guiping, Guangxi, and the offensive was fierce.
When the instructor said this, he felt pity and said, "We have a number of guerrilla troops in the Xijiang valley, and we hope that we will transfer some of them to Xijiang to fight the Japanese ghosts."
On 26 November, the troops reached the area around Hechi, and the fighting increased suddenly. Their task was to disperse their operations, attack the Japanese troops occupying the county seat, and attack the supply lines of the Japanese army. These days, the weather is cold, it rains all day long, and it is already snowing in the cold places in the mountains.
Wherever the troops went, they had something to eat, and they could find a stockade to rest.
After a few days of fighting, the army received several thousand in succession, and the scale of the rout army became larger and larger. In the past few days, Zhou Jianchu himself has been promoted to be a squad leader, and most of the soldiers under him are newly collected defeated soldiers. His regiment has tripled in strength, and in these days it has eliminated more than 300 Oriental ghosts, burned more than a dozen military vehicles, and robbed four ships. Although four of the dozen or so brothers who joined together had already lost their lives, they still felt proud and worthwhile.
Looking at the newly joined rout, Zhou Jianchu suddenly felt that he was like them more than ten days ago.
******
1. Zhou Jianchu was one of the few survivors who fought to the final breakthrough in the Battle of Guilin. Yes, more than 800 people died in the Seven Star Rock. There are indeed people, and they are still there today.
2. Accept it or not, at the beginning of the Battle of Guilin, the Japanese army cleared the periphery, and the really fierce battle was only three days. In this battle, all sides had different evaluations, and the casualty figures reported were varied, and most of them could not withstand scrutiny. According to the record of "Operation No. 1: Battle of Guangxi" by the War History Research Office of the Japanese Defense Agency, the Chinese army "left 5,665 corpses on the battlefield and captured 13,151 people". According to the "Battle Report of the Guilin Defensive Army" written by Wei Yunsong, commander of the Guilin City Defense Command, after the war, the Chinese army suffered about 9,000 casualties and the Japanese army suffered more than 6,000 casualties.
3, Bai Chongxi transferred some elite troops out of Guilin, and his calculations are well known to passers-by. There are many reasons why the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was not fought well, and one of the important reasons is that warlords preserve their strength. Mao once commented, to the effect that this battle will be lost, but the defeat is too ugly.
4, Liuzhou almost retreated without a fight, which was a very shameful battle. It turned out that Huang Tao's 62nd Army was to defend Liuzhou. But Huang Tao was reluctant and asked Zhang Fakui to change the task. Zhang Fakui transferred one of Huang's divisions to Shouwuxuan and gradually transferred out. Yang Sen, who was transferred from the Ninth War Zone, took over. Yang Sen's three army commanders, Yang Hancheng is Yang Sen's nephew, there is no need to defend the city, Luo Qi's army commander is the old Jiang Yan, and he doesn't want to guard, and the task of guarding Liuzhou fell to Ding Zhipan of the Qianjun army. Later, Liuzhou was embattled, Zhang Fakui transferred people to guard Liuzhou, but to no avail, and said to Ding Zhipan: "I will never ask you to defend Liuzhou, I only hope that you can do your best to support it, the longer the better!" "Ding moved the army out of the city, and with a slight resistance, that is, retreated.
