Chapter 529: The remnant sun is like blood

The sudden fierce gunfire on the left and right flanks of the 130th Division repelled the Japanese attack again, and Cao Guangtu, who was determined in his heart, was suddenly stunned, this time the Japanese devils were a little strange, and the shelling of their positions had never stopped.

Cao Guangtu was secretly anxious in his heart, what was the virtue of the defensive positions of the 61st Division on the left flank and the 67th Division on the right flank, and what kind of birds were the two division commanders, he knew very well in his heart, the Japanese army was not afraid to attack his position, but the positions of those two could withstand the Japanese shells? Although he usually doesn't conspire with each other, and he can't get used to what they do, now after all, in the same trench, Cao Guangtu can let go of any unpleasantness and sincerely assist them, as long as he can hold his position.

Before leaving, he specially told them to meet their division commanders, convey the tactics of the commander-in-chief, and tell them that if necessary, the 130th Division could send reinforcements.

The liaison officer turned around and threw himself into the rain of bullets, Cao Guangtu anxiously waited for the news, his attention was all attracted by the sound of guns on the left and right flanks, the sound of guns became more and more intense, Cao Guangtu was in the command headquarters, anxiously pacing back and forth, the phone had been called several times, but no one answered.

Cao Guangtu impatiently ordered: "Keep calling" Thank God, finally someone answered, he rushed to the telephone with an arrow, grabbed the phone, and before he could ask, there was an intermittent sound over there, because the gunfire was too intense, the voice was a little blurred, but he could feel the anxiety and anger, he still heard it at once, it was the liaison officer he sent to the 61st Division on the left flank, an adjutant who had followed him for many years.

"Report to the division, the position of the 61st Division on the left flank is already empty, and the humble inquired about a discarded wounded soldier, the 61st Division has already received the order of the commander of the Tang Corps and ran, the division, his ** 61st Division betrayed us, let's ......" Before the words were finished, there was a fierce gunfire from the microphone, and the adjutant's voice stopped abruptly, but Cao Guangtu was in the earpiece, but he heard it clearly, a shout in Japanese.

Before he came back to his senses, another phone rang urgently, it was the liaison officer sent to the 67th Division on the right flank to report that the position of the 67th Division was empty, and there were discarded guns and ammunition everywhere.

Cao Guangtu's brain was dizzy, like being struck by lightning, he stumbled a few steps, and almost fell, the adjutant hurriedly supported him, he sat on the chair weakly, and understood that the 61st Division and the 67th Division were Tang Enbo's henchmen and cronies, and they had long planned to escape, I am afraid that when the Japanese army attacked for the first time, they had already fled.

He and more than 10,000 soldiers of the 130th Division were betrayed despicably, this qiē was the order of the commander of the regiment, Tang Enbo, he had such a plan for a long time, but he ordered himself to stay in Xinxiang, I am afraid that the 53rd Division of his best friend Liu Zhaoyu also suffered the same fate, otherwise, with the combat effectiveness of the 53rd Division, it is impossible to wipe out the entire army in just two hours.

"Tang Enbo" Cao Guangtu squeezed out these three words from between his teeth, like a wounded lone wolf, his eyes turned blood-red in an instant, these three words, as if exhausting the strength of his whole body, a helpless sadness in his heart, you Tang Enbo to preserve his strength, cut off dissidents, should not be when the Japanese army attacked, order his cronies to abandon the position, put the 130th Division to a desperate situation, even if you put the 130th Division in the Xinxiang defense line, I Cao Guangtu did not have any complaints, and promised that before he died, he would pull tens of thousands of little devils on his back, but now, Damned for what you have done, Townmbo will be damned

There was a deathly silence in the headquarters, and all the officers knew what it meant to them that the 61st Division and the 67th Division had given up their positions on the left and right flanks, Cao Guangtu suddenly jumped up and ordered the operator loudly: "Quick, send a telegram to the commander-in-chief, I want to truthfully state what happened on the battlefield in Henan."

Because of the indignation, his voice was hoarse and trembling, "Commander-in-Chief Xun Jian, after the headquarters repelled the two attacks of the Japanese army in succession, it could have been able to hold the Xinxiang defense line for more than five days, but unexpectedly, the 61st Division on the left flank and the 67th Division on the right flank of our department, on the orders of the corps commander Tang Enbo, suddenly fled from the position, and the Japanese army easily occupied the position without firing a single shot, causing the left and right flanks of our department to be fiercely attacked by the Japanese army, and to fall into a heavy encirclement. ”

A large-caliber artillery shell exploded at close range at the command headquarters, and the air wave set off swept over the things on the table, and the dirt on the roof also fell down "in a hurry", Cao Guangtu was not moved at all and continued to dictate the message.

"Judging from this, the 53rd Division of Liu Zhaoyu of the Hebi Defense Line may also suffer the same fate as the headquarters, and the 49th Division of the Left Wing Wang Guangpu Division, also at the same time as the Japanese army launched an attack, was ordered by the commander of the corps Tang Enbo to flee from the position, resulting in more than 12,000 officers and soldiers of the 53rd Division from division commander Liu Zhaoyu to all be killed, and none of them survived."

Cao Guangtu gasped sharply, his face turned red because of excitement, and then he dictated, "Now the Japanese army has approached near our headquarters, and the whole division is in the mix......

When the cold wind of the Central Plains blew away the gunsmoke, the headquarters of the 130th Division was gone, only a few deep craters, and there was curling smoke, a corner of a military uniform, which was washed into the air by the air waves, and then fell down, and a gold star on the collar badge shone like gold in the sun.

The telegram came to an abrupt end, and next to the radio, Tang Qiuli, who translated and read one sentence at a time, knew what it meant, and he also knew what the two words that Cao Guangtu had not finished speaking, he took off his military hat, and all the people in the division stood up solemnly, with a solemn pathos.

Tang Qiuli's eyes, there were tears flashing, another iron-clad soldier, a hot-blooded Chinese man, fell in the Central Plains, they did not die on the battlefield against the enemy, for the soldiers, it was a well-deserved death, but died in the despicable escape of Tang Enbo and others, the defeat of Anyang, the defeat of Hebi, are all clear, they are all from Tang Enbo's hands, but it is a pity that I have tens of thousands of good men in China, why? Tang Qiuli's heart was in sharp pain.

He turned his head, his face was pale, and he ordered to Director of Intelligence Yu Deshui in a hoarse voice: "Director Yu, I don't care what method you use, no matter what price you pay, find out Tang Enbo for me, even if he gets into the mouse hole, dig him out for me, I want to see him." ”

All of them fought a cold war almost at the same time, and the murderous aura on the division commander made the temperature in the headquarters seem to drop several degrees in an instant, and they all saw the cold light flashing in the eyes of the division commander, like a substance, piercing straight into everyone's nerves, which was a kind of hatred that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, even more than the hatred of the Japanese devils.

Yu Deshui didn't say a word, just saluted the division commander, turned around and went out, he knew that at this time, any language was pale and powerless, and only by completing the task assigned by the division commander could he be worthy of him.

The Intelligence Department, Yu Deshui issued one order after another with a stern face, he activated all the intelligence systems, including the system of the special operations detachment, and there was only one order, to search for the whereabouts of Tang Enbo, the commander of the Eighth Army Corps, and this matter was listed as the highest task, once discovered, it would be immediately sent back to the Intelligence Department as soon as possible.

Cao Guangtu and all the officers of the division headquarters were killed, the command system of the 130th Division was immediately paralyzed, and the officers and men of the 130th Division, who had never received any orders again, fought separately with their blood, and fought a bloody battle in every inch of land, in every trench, and against the Japanese troops who were swarming up and surrounding them from all directions.

The Japanese army, which was nearly ten times stronger than the 130th Division, instinctively had a sense of fear in the face of the almost crazy Chinese soldiers, and none of the Chinese soldiers who were surrounded by death chose to surrender, even if they were seriously injured and fell into a coma, the captured prisoners, once they woke up, struggled to crawl to the nearest weapon, even a broken bayonet, or even half a brick, and then, picked up the weapon in their hands, and stabbed or smashed at the Japanese soldiers.

Several Japanese soldiers saw with their own eyes that a short Chinese soldier with a very delicate face was stabbed into the abdomen by three bayonets at the same time, red blood was already flowing from the corners of his mouth, but a strange smile appeared on his face, his left hand tightly grasped a 38 gun, and his right hand took out a grenade and pulled the fuse violently.

The Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they scattered and fled, some of them fell down in a hurry, only the Japanese soldiers who were caught with the guns were stunned by this scene, he had to discard the guns, and the Japanese soldiers who were lying down saw in horror that the Chinese soldier's intestines had fallen out, but they rushed into the pile of Japanese soldiers, with a loud bang, his body disappeared, and four or five Japanese soldiers fell around.

The fierce and brutal bloody battle lasted for more than six hours, and after the last burst of gunfire subsided, the Japanese troops who had come from all directions converged in the center of the outer position of Xinxiang.

On the position, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were scattered everywhere, and the 130th Division retreated and no one was captured when the division commander Cao Guangtu and all the officers of the command headquarters were killed, and more than 12,000 officers and men of the division were all killed.

The cold wind in the twilight of the Central Plains could not blow away the smoke of the battlefield, and could not blow away the thick smell of blood, and the corpses of Chinese soldiers solidified into statues in the afterglow of the setting sun.
