Book friends canvassed votes, more than 20,000 clicks this week, and there will still be a change next Monday.
After dinner, everyone sat together again, and Xiang Qingyun sat in the crowd with a mysterious face.
The Wu brothers sat on the stage and Wu Zhen gave a speech. Wu Zhen didn't get to the point, and asked Xiang Qingyun first: "Uncle Xiang, have you come up with any good tricks?" ”
Xiang Qingyun still looked mysterious: "You report first, Wu Mujun will have a big happy event in a few days!" ”
Wu Zhen had no choice but to speak:
After the Wu brothers crossed the Yangtze River, Xue Yue had sent a liaison officer, Liu Shanhe, to respond in Anhui without doing anything. All the way to the north, the Wu brothers saw a large number of ** troops retreating westward. Liu Shanhe and the friendly troops inquired only then did they know that the Battle of Xuzhou had ended, and the main force moved westward to prepare for the next move. Liu Shanhe borrowed a friendly radio station to contact the commander, and Xue Yue ordered them to rendezvous in Wuhan.
The Wu brothers had no choice but to turn southwest and cross the Dabie Mountains all the way to Wuhan. Liu Shanhe was more serious, and when he saw that troops from all walks of life were flocking to Wuhan, he arranged for the Wu brothers to be stationed in a village in the eastern suburbs of Wuhan and went to Wuhan to inquire about the situation.
Sure enough, Xue Yue was appointed commander-in-chief of the First Corps of the Ninth Theater, responsible for the defense of the west bank of Poyang Lake and the Nanxun Line. The Wu brothers had no choice but to travel thousands of miles from Wuhan to Nanchang. For not being able to take a walk around the famous city of Wuhan, the Wu brothers were very disappointed.
Fortunately, the devil was still fighting hard at Madang Fortress in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Wu brothers successfully crossed the Yangtze River south and arrived in Nanchang for a month. Along the way, the Wu brothers passed through the real mountainous areas such as Dabie Mountain and Lushan Mountain, experienced mountain marching, heard about many examples of mountain operations, increased a lot of knowledge, and fully experienced the deployment, planning, pattern, mobilization, rhythm, and coordination of the large corps operations, and understood that the larger the battle, the more patient and calm they must be.
Xue Yue was a little unhappy when he saw that Wu Mujun only sent 3 hairy children, but when he saw that the materials listed on the gift list were all necessities for the troops, he smiled.
Wu Zhen knew that Xue Yue looked down on his brother, so he offered to send the supplies to the front line in person, first, to let the soldiers on the front line know the support of the people of the whole country for the war of resistance, and second, to experience the cruelty of regular combat.
Xue Yue was moved by the momentum of Wu Zhen's newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm going to send you up at the most critical time!" I'll give you a team, and you can teach them how to use these 'new' weapons first!" ”
Xue Yue really sent a battalion to the Wu brothers, led by Liu Shanhe. Wu Zhen and his men dutifully taught the officers and men the use of various 'new' weapons, combat examples, and tactics. Xue Yue listened to Liu Shanhe's report and felt that the Wu brothers were indeed not ordinary hairy children, they were veterans who had been on the battlefield and gone through battle formations, and they were very good. So, in his spare time, he called Wu Zhen to come over to chat and learn about Wu Zhen's combat experience, and then simply let Wu Lei and Wu Ting go to training, and Wu Zhen accompanied him at the headquarters, which was cultivated by Xue Yue.
On this day, Wu Zhen stared blankly at the map at the headquarters, and Xue Yue came in and said with a smile: "Young man, what do you see?" ”
Wu Zhen looked serious: "Hukou has been lost for several days, why didn't the 64th Army in Jiujiang fight back?" If the devil gunboat enters Poyang Lake, it can attack any point along the shores of Poyang Lake! If a strange army landed from the south of Poyang Lake, it would be too dangerous to be less than 100 miles from Nanchang! ”
"Boy, have a vision! It's a pity that the 64th Army is no longer able to fight back! But do you see it, the area from the south bank of Poyang Lake to Nanchang is mountainous, and the number of surprise soldiers who sneak attack Nanchang must be at least more than one brigade to have an effect, if the backup can't arrive in time, this strange soldier will be given away in vain! Therefore, Jiujiang, Xingzi, De'an, and Xiushui counties should pay attention! ”
Sure enough, the devils who had finished recuperation successfully landed in the northern section of Poyang Lake, and the flank of Jiujiang ** was threatened, so they had to give up. The devil then divided into two ways to force De'an and Ruichang. Fortunately, Xue Yue deployed heavy troops along the Nanxun Road north of De'an to stop the devils north of De'an.
The 106th Division of the Devil and Xue Yue fought fiercely for several days, and Okamura Ningji sent reinforcements from the 101st Division, and indeed successfully landed in Xingzi, but in the face of Xue Yue's heavy army group, there was still no achievement. Wu Zhen admired Xue Yue even more.
Bad news came from Xue Yue's headquarters: all the way the devil killed from Minshan Mountain in the west to the side! The 74th Army of Yu Jishi, sent by Xue Yue, was still unable to resist the fierce battle. Wu Zhen asked for reinforcements to join the war.
At this time, Xue Yue didn't know how many vicious battles to fight in the future, so he didn't dare to easily mobilize the troops, so he had to let Liu Shanhe take a battalion trained with the Wu brothers to reinforce Yu Jishi.
The Wu brothers were finally able to go to the battlefield, and happily led the team to the north to help.
It turned out that the devil on the west road was the 6th Brigade of Maruyama Masanami, the vanguard of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army. The 6th Brigade was supposed to advance to the southwest, but Maruyama Masanan saw that the 106th and 101st divisions were actually blocked, so he made a temporary move, intervened a little, and beat Xue Yue in a hurry.
At this time, Maruyama Masan was attacking all the way along the mountain range. On the narrow mountain road, the devil's artillery fire is concentrated in the limited mountain space, and the power is greatly increased, and there are 6 tanks to open the way, which makes the devil feel like no one. The 74th Army's desperate resistance could not help the devil's powerful firepower.
When Wu Zhen saw Yu Ji, he explained his intention. Yu Jishi asked the operational staff officer to brief Wu Zhen and others on the battle situation. Wu Zhen heard that the devil had a tank, and the soldiers of 74 could only use life, explosives packs, and grenades to deal with the devil's steel fortress, and he couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and hurriedly said that he had brought a sharp weapon to restrain the tank, and put forward his own ideas.
To tell the truth, Yu Jishi didn't trust this stinky hairy boy, but after listening to him, he had no choice but to send him a liaison staff officer with the attitude of using a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and took the radio to help Wu Zhen coordinate his actions, and also allocated him 120 rounds of various scattered artillery shells to go to Wang Yaowu's department of the 51st Division, which was the most fierce on the front line.
At this time, the devil had already attacked Huimaling. Wu Zhen first sent scouts to determine the route of the devil tank, and then laid all 120 anti-tank mines on the path that the tank must pass. Then build a blocking position behind the minefield.
After arranging his own defense line, Wu Zhen personally led his two elder brothers to the ** position on the flank. On the position of the 74th Army, the ** soldiers have not been fed for several days, and they only rely on chewing grass roots to replenish their strength. Wu Zhen took out a batch of anti-Japanese enhancement pills and handed them to the ** troops. Because the anti-Japanese strength pill is mainly an easy-to-absorb brown sugar, the ** soldiers on the battlefield immediately felt a lot more energetic after eating it. Wu Zhen gave Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 51st Division, a batch of anti-Japanese enhancement pills, telling him to let the soldiers eat them at the last moment of launching a counterattack.
Wang Yaowu heard that Wu Zhen was going to fight back, and Wang Yaowu, who had experienced a hundred battles, thought that this hairy boy was whimsical: his elite men and horses in the first division could not withstand the fierce artillery fire of the devils, and this kid actually wanted to counterattack! But they came with the commander's hand, and they could only do their best to cooperate.
After the devil was violently blocked, he immediately sent a killer ---- tank. However, this time, the devil tank was unfortunate to roll on the nemesis anti-tank mine, two tanks lay on their stomachs to block the mountain road, and the other tanks immediately occupied the roadside high ground and covered the positions of the Chinese army with fire to cover the infantry attack.
A batch of cigarette grenades were thrown on the hills on both sides, covering the tank's view, and a group of ** soldiers rushed down under the cover of smoke screens on the mountain, holding blasting canisters to blow up all the devil's tanks.
The sound of the devil's tank could not be heard, and Wu Zhen fired a signal flare for a counterattack.
When Wang Yaowu's soldiers saw the flare, they immediately swallowed the anti-Japanese booster pill and then rushed out of the position. The light weapons of the ** soldiers of the 74th Army are not inferior to the devils, but they suffer from heavy firepower.
The devil was also sleepy and weak to support the attack, and at this time he lost his fire cover and had a small number of people, so he had to retreat.
Helpless, the ** who had been aggrieved for a few days refused to give up, relying on the physical strength of the anti-Japanese enhancement pill after eating it, and the unrelenting pursuit all the way, far beyond the scope of the counterattack stipulated by Wang Yaowu, the retreat of the devil was beaten into a rout, ** turned defeat into victory, and won a lot.
Wang Yaowu was not greedy for merit, reported to the corps headquarters, asked the Wu brothers for merit, and at the same time received an order from the corps headquarters -----to abandon the defense and return to Maling! It turned out that the departments behind the 74th Army did not have confidence in the 74th Army to hold Huimaling, so they took advantage of the 74th Army's resistance to withdraw their troops to the second line of defense, so it would be meaningless to stick to Huimaling.
Wang Yaowu was unwilling, but he did not dare to disobey, so he supplemented Wu Zhen and Liu Shanhe with 6 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, and 2 mortars, and ordered them to serve as rearguard troops to "cover" the retreat of the main force.
Wu Zhen and Wang Yaowu tacitly agreed that they would bring supplies such as military shoes, dried meat, anti-Japanese strength enhancement pills, steel helmets, first-aid kits, blasting canisters, grenadier canisters, and anti-tank mine equipment...... Along with the list, he handed it to Wang Yaowu and asked him to "transfer" Xue Yue.
Xue Yue only received a list, a "battle damage consumption table", 100 catties of jerky, and 100 steel helmets. Xue Yue looked at it and smiled slightly: "Cheap Wang Yaowu, this kid!" ”
After all, Yu Jishi was the top boss, and he got more than Xue Yue: 100 steel helmets, 100 pairs of military shoes, 100 raincoats, 2,000 anti-Japanese strength pills, and 10 first-aid kits.
After the 51st Division of the 74th Army withdrew, Wu Zhen broke up a battalion of Liu Shanhe, mixed it into one squad at a time, and then scattered into the mountains as a platoon. Wu Zhen didn't want to cover anyone at all, he just wanted to give the devil a bad record!
This time, Maruyama Masao's 6th Brigade entered Huimaling smoothly, and basically encountered no resistance. Maruyama Masanan decided to rest for 3 days, let the troops recover their physical strength and combat strength, and then take the Nanxun line with the 106th and 101st divisions in one go. As a result, Maruyama Masanan had a nightmare for three days: all major brigade headquarters, wing headquarters, supply depots, medical centers, and baggage teams were attacked by small units of the Chinese army: cold guns, cold guns, arson...... Seeing that the losses of the various divisions were not very large, they added up to the loss of supplies for most of the wing, a quarter of the officers, and 59 soldiers; 37 horses are missing; Sixty-five officers and men were castrated, and the entire unit was in a state of panic, and the officers and men were in a state of distress. Maruyama Masana's wise decision: withdraw Ruichang!
When Maruyama Masan was leaving, three 75mm mountain guns were blown up by the Shina people.
After Wu Zhen completed the task, he didn't want to go back to Xue Yue's headquarters, so he rested and trained in the area of Huimaling, preparing to attack the headquarters of the devil Ruichang again. Helplessly, Xue Yue urged him to return to the team again and again, so he had to lazily move closer to De'an.
When approaching De'an, the Wuzhen Department repeatedly encountered troops the size of the Devil Brigade. Wu Zhen remembered Xue Yue's words, this kind of brigade-sized unit is very suitable for being a surprise soldier! He hurriedly informed Xue Yue, and he arranged for the troops to set up and change the devil's road signs in front of the devil, attack and harass the devil's soldiers, lay mines, and try his best to delay the devil's action.
This group of devils is indeed the 106th Division of the ---- Strange Soldiers carefully arranged by Okamura Ninji. Due to the interference of the Wuzhen Department, the multi-way devils took the wrong way and delayed the time, and were finally surrounded by Xue Yue's main force in Wanjialing.
The 106th Division of the Devil suffered heavy losses, but the trapped beast was still fighting, and Xue Yue didn't have a problem with the devil for a while, and the battle fell into a stalemate.
The devil used air superiority to airdrop materials and soldiers to the trapped 106th Division many times, which made the 106th Division have the possibility of breaking through the siege, and Xue Yue was greatly annoyed.
Wu Zhen walked into the headquarters and offered another plan: set up the same signal as the devil's airdrop location on the periphery of the devil to disrupt the devil's airdrop.
As a result, the 74th Army, which surrounded the devils, lit bonfires one after another and shone small mirrors at the planes. As a result, a large number of supplies and recruits from the devils were put into the ** control area and given to Xue Yue's troops in vain.
In the end, the broken division of the 106th Division, rescued by the 101st Division, the 27th Division, and the 9th Division, was able to break out of the encirclement, but it had lost its combat effectiveness and withdrew from the battle sequence, and the original mission of attacking Nanchang with the 101st Division was also forced to be canceled.
Since Wu Zhen participated in the battle, he has refused to return to Maling, misled the 106th Division of the Devil's Strange Army, provided information on the encirclement of the 106th Division, tricked the Devil into airdropping supplies, and exterminated the Devil's new soldiers...... After repeated military exploits, a report entitled Wu Zhen's request for merit was submitted to Xue Yue.
Xue Yue was very troubled by this matter, the key is the identity of Wu Zhenjun who is not a soldier or a civilian! In the end, Xue Yue didn't bother to bother, and handed over all the reports to the Military Commission, explained the situation, and asked the tribunal.
It just so happened that this report was seen by the chairman of the Military Commission, and Wu Zhen, who was "sealed" by the committee, was made a ** major, and General Feng Yuxiang, the vice chairman of the committee, quipped: "The major of the chairman of the committee, Qinfeng, is the first colonel in the world!" And improvised a handwritten "The First School in the World" ink scroll, which was awarded to Wu Zhen together with the letter of appointment. Since then, Wu Zhen's reputation as "the first school in the world" has been crowned.
Under the encouragement of the chairman and others, the Wu brothers bravely rushed to the front line again.
By this time, the central government had abandoned Wuhan, and the two sides of the Battle of Wuhan had entered a sporadic final battle. In order to save face, the devil still attacked De'an.
The battle of Mt. Uibong, north of Deok'an Castle, was extremely fierce. The devil's artillery fire blocked the supply line of the 716th Regiment of the 139th Division of the defenders, and the soldiers who ran out of ammunition and food only relied on stones, sticks and devils to fight desperately. After Wu Zhen arrived, he ordered Wu Lei and Wu Ting, who were good at climbing, to climb the cliff at the dead end of the artillery fire and transport supplies with ropes, and Wu Zhen also brought some well-trained Wu Mu soldiers to climb to the top of the mountain for reinforcements.
The troops that Wu Zhen brought up the mountain had only one platoon, but there were 6 light machine guns, 12 grenadiers, and the ammunition was barely enough, and most importantly, they brought nearly 10,000 anti-Japanese booster pills to quench the hunger and thirst of the defenders for several days.
Wu Zhen brought the troops to the forefront of the position and arranged for the continued carrying of stones to block the enemy.
The devils under the mountain saw that the Chinese army was carrying stones again, and knew that the other party was dying and struggling, so they swaggered and attacked.
Wu Zhen ordered the enemy to be blocked with rolling stones. The devil was even more unscrupulous, giving up his uncomfortable and slow tactical movements, swaggering straight up and attacking.
Suddenly, a batch of dense grenades and grenades flew out of the ** position, and the devils who were caught off guard suffered a big loss, with dead and wounded. The devil was furious and began to shell frantically again.
Yifeng Mountain is full of stones, and it is impossible to dig deep fortifications and anti-artillery holes, and the soldiers can only hide in natural bunkers such as boulders, depressions, and craters, as a result, the regiment commander was killed, the deputy regiment commander was seriously injured, and only the chief of staff who was seriously injured but could barely command remained.
Wu Zhen came to the regiment headquarters, and the chief of staff decided to break through the siege and retreat to the city, asking Wu Zhen to take the lead and rush to the opening, because the soldiers of the 716th regiment were already incomplete and exhausted.
Wu Zhen readily agreed. He first organized his personnel to hang the wounded and heavy weapons from the cliff behind him with ropes, and withdrew to the city of De'an, with his own troops acting as a blocker. In the end, he simply arranged for all the soldiers of the 716th Regiment to be evacuated from the back mountain, leaving only one platoon of his own troops to block the enemy.
The devils shelled, charged, shelled, charged, repeated many times, and found that the strength of the Chinese army was getting smaller and smaller, but it just couldn't rush up, mainly because the Chinese army suddenly learned well, light machine guns specialized in grenadiers, grenadiers specialized in fighting officers, rifles were used against light machine guns, and the attacking troops of the imperial army lost officers, grenadiers, and light machine guns, and the scattered infantry would of course be defeated!
Wu Zhen took advantage of the devil's dinner to sneak back to the city with his troops.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhen and the others had just finished eating, and the devils actually attacked the city overnight. couldn't say it, Wu Zhen had no choice but to fight with the devils with the 716th Regiment of the 139th Division and the 723rd Regiment of the 141st Division in the city.
Now, although the 716 regiment has no leader, it would rather die than retreat, and the 723 regiment is complete, and the regiment commander Wang Qiming is naturally the supreme commander of the city.
On the one hand, Wu Zhen assisted in commanding the 716th Regiment, and on the other hand, according to the tactics of the Songhu Meeting, machine guns, submachine guns, and shell guns went to the house, and on the ground sappers and shovels and pickaxes were used to break through the courtyard walls, and grenades were used to hit the devils in the streets and courtyards, and they were cleared and eliminated piece by piece. After arranging the defense of the 716th Regiment, Wu Zhen ordered Liu Shanhe to command, and he rode on the 37 devil war horses that he "stole" to rush through the devil's resistance and guide the street fighting of the 723rd Regiment.
It's a pity that Wu Zhen's tall body attracted the attention of the devil, and a devil's heavy machine gun aimed at Wu Zhen, Wu Zhen was hit by 5 bullets and fell off the horse.
Wu Lei copied a grenadier and knocked out the devil's heavy machine gun, while Wu Ting rescued Wu Zhen and retreated to the headquarters of the 723rd Regiment under the cover of Wu Lei and others.
Wu Lei and Wu Ting checked Wu Zhen's injuries at the regiment headquarters, and saw that Wu Zhen's intestines were flowing out, and they couldn't live. Wu Lei told Wang Qiming, the head of the 723 Regiment, that Wu Zhen was the "No. 1 school in the world" sealed by the chairman of the committee, and he must make every effort to rescue him. Then, he told Wang Qiming about the tactics and tactics of street fighting, and led the veterans of the Wumu Army to spread out around the regiment headquarters, with the regiment headquarters as the center, while demonstrating the tactics and expanding the area of clearance.
Wang Qiming did not dare to slack off, first called a military doctor to rescue Wu Zhen, and then sent all the staff officers, guards, and communication soldiers of the regiment headquarters to convey the essentials of street fighting to his subordinate departments.
Finally, at noon the next day, the devil was driven out of the city. However, the devil's artillery caught up and covered the infantry to attack the city again. The city of De'an fell into an even more tragic battle.
Xue Yue learned that Wu Zhen was seriously injured, and urgently ordered Wang Qiming to withdraw from De'an and protect Wu Zhen back to Nanchang! Xue Yue would rather lose a county town than Wu Zhen make any mistakes!
Wu Zhenfu had a big life, although his intestines were broken, his back was also injured in many places, and he lost too much blood, and he was stunned to snatch his life back from the hands of death by the famous doctor in Xue Yue's rear hospital!
Wu Zhen asked Wu Lei and Wu Zhen not to tell Xishan about their injuries, and not to worry their parents, and at the same time asked Xue Yue to help cover it up. Xue Yue originally didn't want the news that the "No. 1 Colonel in the World" was injured by devils to spread, for fear of affecting the morale of the troops, so he naturally tried his best to cooperate.
After one month, Wu Zhen's injuries were basically healed, but his body was extremely weak. The chairman of the committee also came to pay a special visit, and Ma Bufang, the "king of Qinghai" who accompanied him, proposed that his headquarters Xining had a fresh environment, far away from the war, and was rich in famous medicines such as cordyceps sinensis and snow lotus to heal injuries and replenish the body, and the most important thing was that Qinghai had Wu Zhen's favorite ---- good horse, so he was very welcome to go to Qinghai for recuperation.
Wu Zhen couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and decided that the three brothers would take Wu Mujun's brothers to Qinghai for a visit! also gave Xue Yue a reason to shirk Wu Mujun, only saying that the Wu brothers were sent by the Military Commission to Qinghai on business.
When he arrived in Qinghai, Wu Zhen was in a happy mood, plus Cordyceps, snow lotus, and snow ginseng ate three meals a day like a meal, and his injuries recovered quickly.
Wu Mujun's brothers are now only about 150 people left, and most of the others have died in battle. However, Qinghai's large pieces of beef and mutton, large bowls of milk, goat's milk, mare's milk, barley wine, and tsamba, without the tranquility of the war, quickly soothed the heartache of many soldiers. They raced and confronted Ma Bufang's cavalry, exchanged horsemanship, tactics, horse breeding, horse medicine, and horse training, and both sides benefited a lot, which was also Ma Bufang's original intention of inviting the Wu brothers to the west.
Ma Bufang's cavalry had no tactics, and only relied on the courage of men and the speed of horses, and this time they learned a lot of new methods of troop management and combat tactics such as marching, camping, reconnaissance, vigilance, detours, sneak attacks, and charges.
Wu Mujun learned more skills such as riding, horse breeding, horse training, and veterinarianship.
Wu Zhen and Ma Bufang also deepened their understanding and learned that Qinghai had a large number of strategic materials such as saltpeter and sulfur, so they sent Wu Ting back to Nanchang to find Xue Yue, invited a group of gunpowder manufacturing technicians, and helped Ma Bufang prepare for a gunpowder factory of a large scale, and agreed that Wu Mu would exchange 1 Type 38 rifle for 40 catties of black powder and 200 rounds of ammunition for 40 catties of black powder.
When Tuesday Dog saw Wu Zhen, Wu Zhen had just recovered almost, so he did not go to Chongqing with Tuesday Dog, but continued to stay in Qinghai until the spring blossomed, Wu Zhen had been raised to be strong and strong, and Wu Mujun's brothers had also become cavalry experts. It's a pity that there are only more than 80 people who have returned to Xishan!
After Wu Zhen finished speaking, the dog took the lead on Tuesday to salute and toast the brothers who died on the battlefield!
When the meeting ended, everyone did not feel the joy of strengthening, but held their breath in their hearts: kill all the devils!
