Chapter Ninety-Seven: Elegy for Blood (2)
The fierce exchange of fire in the southeast of Chengde made Zhang Xuewu suddenly wake up and fall asleep, and soon, the secret room received a telegram from the 106th Division requesting to answer, Zhang Xuewu and Chief of Staff Li Xinkai, Director of the Political Department Huang Tao and others in the headquarters seriously analyzed the current situation between the enemy and us?
The 106th Division of Shen Kesuo was intercepted by the Yue army in the Nanshan Valley, about ten kilometers away from Chengde, and there were at least several lines of defense of the Yue army along the way, and the heavy troops robbed and killed? In the direction of Seng Guanfeng is the 28th Brigade of the Infantry of the 14th Division of the Yue Army, and it is obvious that the 14th Division of the Yue Army, which has been heavily damaged in the continuous attack on Chengde, should not have enough troops to carry out such a large-scale deployment? The only explanation is that the reinforcements of the Yue Army have arrived, and if the reinforcements of the Yue Army arrive, the sortie will obviously be very unfavorable to the new 1st Division.
"Friendly forces are in danger, how can we sit idly by? I ordered the reserve of two battalions to be transferred from the headquarters of the newly formed 2nd Regiment Wang Chuang, with all the tanks and armored vehicles of the mechanized company, starting from the position on the left flank of Seng Guanfeng, directly penetrating into the core of the defense of Xiaolizhuang of the Yue Army, and receiving the 106th Division. Zhang Xuewu gave a decisive battle order, Li Xinkai and Huang Tao expressed their support at the same time, the new first division is now alone, even if it can receive an officer and soldier of the 106th Division into Chengde, it will be a great encouragement for the Chengde defenders, and if you sit back and watch the reinforcements of the whole army indifferent? Who is willing to work hard to reinforce your new first division?
After a brigade of the 56th Infantry Wing of the 28th Infantry Brigade of the 14th Division of the 14th Division was defeated, Naori Matsuki also realized the tactical purpose of the defenders of Chengde, and immediately gathered troops to engage in a fierce battle with the headquarters of Wang Chuangsuo of the newly formed 1st Division, and the 10th Division of Hirose Shousuke also took the opportunity to storm the position on the side ridge of Majiagou.
The 106th Division's situation was already in danger, the 14th Division of the Army made every effort to block the headquarters of the new 2nd Regiment of Seng Guanfeng's attack, and the 10th Division of the Army took advantage of the situation to attack the positions along the side ridge of Majiagou, which made Zhang Xuewu unable to draw any troops, and Zhang Xuewu, the reserve of the last battalion of the division, did not dare to use it no matter what.
"You can only do your best!" Zhang Xuewu dropped the pencil in his hand, and the situation of the one hundred and sixth made him feel very sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
At this moment, the 106th Division, which was fighting hard, had fallen into the encirclement of the main forces of the 4th Brigade and the 36th Brigade of the Infantry Army, and the Chinese [***] people were engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the incoming Yue Army all over the mountains, and in the darkness there were screams, curses, gunshots, the flash of the shell explosion and the muffled sound of the grenade explosion rising and falling to each other.
Shen Ke, who was covered in blood, was carried to a ravine by his subordinates with two bullets, Shen Ke struggled to grab the hand of a staff officer next to him and said: "Order Deputy Division Commander Cheng Jiawen to take over my command of the troops!" ”
The staff officer who was grabbed by Shen Ke's shirt said with a crying voice: "Division! The deputy division commander, he and the head of the 318th Regiment, Liang Guodong, have already sacrificed their lives for the country! ”
Shen Ke was slightly stunned and continued: "Then order Chief of Staff Li to take over my command of the troops!" ”
A lieutenant carrying a Mauser pistol with a radio on his back on his back said helplessly: "Chief of Staff Li also sacrificed his life for the country, and now the troops have been dispersed by the Japanese army, and the brothers are trying their best to resist desperately, and I am afraid that there is no hope for reinforcing Chengde, so I can only try my best to kill the enemy and reimburse the country!" ”
Shen Ke glanced at the fierce exchange of fire from the Chengde side, sighed helplessly, and said, "Draft a telegram!" ”
The lieutenant who was carrying the radio station was slightly stunned and said, "Master, I have burned the secret book after the death of the secret telegram officer!" ”
Shen Ke took a deep breath and shook his head, "Mingma!" ”
"Clear?" Everyone present was taken aback, and they looked at each other? Ordering the invention of coded telegraphs on the battlefield generally means that the entire army will be wiped out.
The telecommunications lieutenant took out a pencil with a slightly trembling hand, and under the light of a staff officer on the side, Shen Ke dictated: "100,000 urgent, report to Zhang Xueliang, vice chairman of the Beiping Army Branch, and Chairman Jiang of the Nanjing Military and Political Department, also Chengde defenders, our department was ordered to reinforce Chengde since the night and night, but the enemy situation in front has also undergone major changes, it is said that the reinforcements of no less than one division have arrived at the periphery of Chengde, and the post headquarters cannot break through the siege of the Yue army after a desperate battle, and they have the intention to kill the enemy but have no power to return to the sky. Shen Kedang led all the officers and soldiers of the 106th Division to fight with Yue Kou to the end, and even one soldier and one soldier also attacked and advanced to Chengde, so as to strengthen the morale of our Chinese soldiers and raise the prestige of our army! March 6, 22nd year of the Republic of China, at 2:37 a.m. ”
Zhang Xuewu, who was about to go to Seng Guanfeng to supervise the battle, was blocked by Huang Tao, and Huang Tao, who looked solemn, handed over a telegram to Zhang Xuewu and said: "The clear-code telegram sent by General Shen Ke of the 106th Division!" ”
"What? Plain Telegram? Zhang Xuewu naturally knew what the telegram meant, and was shocked to take the transcript of the telegram.
Zhang Xuewu put Shen Kede's last call on the table and closed his eyes slightly, this Shen Ke! What are you doing in Chengde with one soldier left? Will accompany me Zhang Xuewu to death?
Zhang Xuewu naturally knew that this was caused by Zhang Xueliang's order, and Shen Ke, the commander of the 106th Division, naturally knew that this was a dead end, but he resolutely led his troops to rush out of the pass to reinforce Chengde. What kind of tragic spirit is this? In the face of the enemy's arrogance, dare to hold the determination to become a benevolent man with a division, is it tragic? More of it is helplessness.
Zhang Xuewu knew the equipment of the 106th Division in general, and after fighting for so long, he could hear the sound of his own artillery, which meant that the 106th Division did not even have a single mountain artillery, and it was tragic and tragic to collide head-on with tens of thousands of troops with such equipment.
"Order Wang Chuang to withdraw!" After Zhang Xuewu gave the order, he kept looking at the direction of the fierce battle of the 106th Division, and he couldn't imagine how the officers and soldiers of the 106th Division, which was only equipped with light weapons, resisted the encirclement and annihilation of the heavy troops of the Yue Army. It was a sleepless night for the officers and men of the new 1st Division in Chengde, and almost all of them looked in the direction of Seng Guanfeng, and the excitement of hearing that reinforcements had arrived had long since vanished, because the fierce gunfire showed that the reinforcements were still far from Chengde.
Zhanyang, who looked tired, sat in the trench like a clay man, holding a rifle while struggling to bandage his left hand that was cut by shrapnel, clumsy movements and frozen numb fingers made him unable to hold this buckle, and before he could bandage it, the blood flowing from the shrapnel cut on his hand was frozen? In disguise, the purpose of hemostasis was achieved.
Zhan Yang sighed helplessly, he wanted to miss those battlefield angels in the division field hospital very much! Recalling that he connected to the medical soldier who was dumber than himself, Zhanyang had an urge to run naked in the snow!
As a survivor of the death squad, Zhanyang was appointed as the acting company commander after the death of the company commander, and even Hu Dahai, who was always full of scratches, was promoted to platoon commander.
Zhan Yang looked at the fierce battle in the direction of Seng Guanfeng and the dense shooting sound of the artillery group, and suddenly felt a sigh in his heart!
