Feng Shengfa finished speaking and left.

While ordering the troops to assemble, Xu Jiu asked Cao Jiao: "Cao Jiao, is there something wrong?" ”

Cao Jiao remembered her intentions at this time, and hurriedly reported: "Captain, the wounded man rescued by Li Mu has woken up, and he said that he is also from our 58th Division, and he is the adjutant of Han Keqiang, the commander of the 348th Regiment. ”

"348 regiment?" Xu Shijiu's face changed slightly, he knew that Feng Shengfa was looking for the 348 regiment that had lost contact, but he had never found it, and then asked again, "Did he say anything?" ”

Cao Jiao's expression darkened, and she said in a low voice: "He said that the 348th Regiment has been martyred in Longtouling. ”

Lu Jianbang, Mu Enguang, Hu Jie and others standing next to him all changed color, only Gao Shenxing said: "Another group of cannon fodder." ”

At this time, the troops had already completed the assembly, and Xu Shijiu didn't care about talking nonsense with Gao Shenxing, and while sending the little madman to report the news of the 348 regiment to Feng Shengfa, he led the troops to pull out, in addition to Cao Jiao's health team, this time even Li Zihan's engineer platoon and the old camel's cooking class were on board.

Ye Ruxue, Gu Yaqin, Yu Huan and Cao Jiao stood at the entrance of the village and watched the figures of the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade go away, all of them were silent and unwilling to speak, especially Ye Ruxue, she heard all the harsh words that Gao Shenxing said just now, as a war correspondent, she also felt extremely angry about the injustice suffered by the 19th Brigade.

Regarding the previous deeds, Ye Ruxue did not comment because she did not personally participate, but she experienced the battle of Niu Shidun, and also witnessed the bloody sacrifice of the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade up close.

If it weren't for the 19th Brigade defending the cow dung dun, even if it was the advantage of the terrain of the east and west lonely ridges, whether the 58th Division could hold it was also two words, if the 58th Division could not hold the east and west lonely ridges, then the situation on the entire De'an battlefield would be reversed immediately

What's more, the 19th Brigade not only held the cow pier, screened the 58th Division's east and west Guling defense lines, but also severely damaged the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan, and also killed a large Zuo Wing Captain of Little Japan.

Just rushing to this, it is not too much to give Xu 19 a medal of blue sky and white sun

But the result? As a result, Feng Shengfa's telegram asking for the reward of the 19th Brigade was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade stretched their necks to look through the autumn water, and they never saw a commendation, Xu 19 himself was very indifferent, and he didn't care about this encounter, thinking of this Ye Ruxue's beautiful eyes were full of tears, because she knew that behind the indifference, there was actually too much bitterness hidden, and Xu 19 He just never mentioned it to anyone.

Before dark, the Japanese troops on both the east and west launched the most frantic offensive at the same time.

Feng Shengfa was most worried that Chen Shizheng's 344 Regiment would not be able to withstand it, and originally planned to transfer the 19th Brigade to the tip of the hourglass, but the first to be unable to withstand it was Qi Yongnian's 343 Regiment.

It was still the battalion commander Li Shijian who secretly ran to the headquarters of the 58th Division and complained to Feng Shengfa.

Feng Shengfa hurriedly withdrew the 19th Brigade from the hourglass tip on the western front and transferred it to the high mountain tip on the eastern front, which re-stabilized the defensive line, and when Qi Yongnian withdrew from the high mountain tip position with the 343 regiment "all the officers and soldiers of the regiment", including Qi Yongnian, there were only more than 20 people left in the whole regiment, and they couldn't even get together a platoon.

The high mountain tip on the eastern front was temporarily stabilized because of the addition of the 19th Brigade, but the hourglass tip on the western front was not good again.

Under the onslaught of the small Japanese division, Chen Shizheng's 344th Regiment also suffered heavy casualties, and by nightfall, most of the 344th Regiment had also been killed or wounded, and the whole regiment plus one piece was less than a company.

After giving the order and transferring Wei Changlu's 347th Regiment to the tip of the hourglass, Feng Shengfa walked out of the division headquarters, sat on the stone mill at the gate and smoked one after another, looking at Feng Shengfa's silent appearance, Deputy Division Commander He Lingxiao, Chief of Staff Yang Shaoren and several staff officers were all very uncomfortable, they would rather Feng Shengfa scold them a few words.

An operational staff officer walked over and said to Feng Shengfa, Master, you still have to continue to command.

Feng Shengfa said, no need, you can fight as much as you want, and that's how it will be.

Yang Shaoren said, why don't you send a telegram to the corps headquarters and ask for support from friendly and neighboring troops?

He Lingxiao also said angrily, we can't really shoot it out, we have to leave some seeds for our 58th Division, right?

Feng Shengfa fell silent again, and it was a long silence, and after that, until the end of the Wanjialing War, Feng Shengfa never said a word again.

Xue Yue finally had the heart to sit down and have a meal.

From yesterday morning's discovery of the whereabouts of Little Japan near Longtouling to now, Xue Yue has not eaten a grain of rice for more than 30 hours, and when the situation has stabilized a little, Xue Yue suddenly felt hungry, and Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi hurriedly asked the men of the Corps Headquarters to bring Xue Yue dinner.

At this time, the situation on the Wanjialing battlefield was clear, the 4th Army, the 8th Army, the 1st Army and the 5th Pei had all entered the attack position, and the 1st Army had also moved to Baishui Street west of Wanjialing, only a stone's throw away from the 58th Division.

As long as there are no accidents, the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan will be doomed.

Seeing that Xue Yue was in a good mood, Wu Yizhi whispered: "General seat, the 58th Division has been guarding Wanjialing for a day and night, and it is still facing the east-west attack of the two small Japanese divisions, although Feng Shengfa did not complain to the general seat, but the casualties are probably not small, or use the 18th to replace the 58th Division, so as to leave some seeds for the 58th Division." ”

The chopsticks in Xue Yue's hand paused for a moment, and he shook his head after thinking about it: "Now is not the time." ”

From a military point of view, Xue Yue's decision is undoubtedly right, because it is just dark at this time, whether it is the small Japanese 10U Division that is eager to break through or the small Japanese 1st Division who is eager to break through the siege, they have not given up, and they are still fighting the trapped beasts.

Therefore, at this time, the most appropriate way is to let the 58th Division continue to defend Wanjialing, continue to consume the sharp energy of the little Japan, and wait for the sharp energy of the little Japanese to be almost consumed and the momentum is exhausted, and then let the 18th Pei reinforce Wanjialing with great fanfare, so as to frustrate the confidence of the little Japan, hit the morale of the little Japan, and make the little Japan more desperate.

But from an emotional point of view, Wu Yizhi didn't want the 58th Division to be wiped out in Wanjialing, the 58th Division gave Wu Yizhi a very good impression, both able to fight tough battles and never complain, Shangfeng was happy to accept any task, and no matter how mortal the task was, he would never frown, for the Corps Commander's Department, such a unit was simply a treasure.

Wu Yizhi even wanted to suggest that Xue Yue simply detain the 58th Division in the L Corps, although the 58th Division was Yu Jishi's starting unit, and Feng Shengfa and Yu Jishi had an extraordinary friendship, but in essence, Feng Shengfa and Yu Jishi were completely two types of people, and under the influence of Feng Shengfa, the 58th Division basically did not have the shadow of Yu Jishi.

If the 1st Corps can have such a direct subordinate unit, it can come in handy at a critical moment.

However, seeing that Xue Yue was eating well, Wu Yizhi did not mention this stubble again, so as not to disturb Xue Yue's good appetite, no matter what, now is not the time to mention this stubble, or it is not too late to wait for this battle to be over, but Wu Yizhi didn't know, just because of this, the 58th Division was almost all wiped out.
