Chapter 15 The Bloody Battle of Linyi

In addition, Wan Yi took over the artillery regiment and the air force target guidance group, and returned to the small detachment at the foot of Maling Mountain, and devoted himself to intense military training in order to go deep behind enemy lines again. A jeep came at a gallop and came to a stop at the foot of the hill. Wan Yi smiled at Liu Mansheng: "Look, Commander Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army has sent a car, and we should go to them again." ”

Unexpectedly, after coming to the military headquarters of Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army, the chief of staff conveyed such a decision to Wan Yi: "You, as the assistant to the army commander, participate in the command of the Linyi battle. ”

"Commander Song!" Wan Yi was very surprised and said, "What kind of joke are you making here!" Commanding an army, never doing it......"

"Hahaha......" With the laughter of Commander Song, the chief of staff continued: "Then commanding a regiment, is it born to do it?" ”

Wan Yi said: "To command an army, combine infantry and artillery, and coordinate land and air artillery, we must be familiar with the situation. ”

Commander Song stood in front of the sand table in Linyi and said, "You have been active here for so long, and you still need someone else to give you the situation?" Don't be afraid, learn war from war! ”

"No! Did you tell our 57th Army? Do they agree with my transfer? Wan Yi said anxiously.

"Call your commander now." Song Zheyuan picked up the phone as he spoke: "Pick me up the Miao Chengliu Headquarters of the 57th Army!" It's Lao Miao, I'm Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army, I want to leave your Wan Yi behind, what? ”

Commander Miao Chengliu of the 57th Army said into the phone: "It's not that I don't give you Lao Song's face, it's that we really can't do without this little guy!" Now I'm about to mention him as a brigade commander! Otherwise, I'll lend you a few days first? Anyway, no one can dig into the corners of our army! ”

Song Zheyuan said helplessly: "This, this, okay!" ”

Xu Zuyi, chief of staff of the Fifth Theater Commander's Headquarters and commander-in-chief of the field, who had just come over, looked at Song Zheyuan and said, "That guy won't let go?" ”

"It's incredible that such a good officer can't use it himself, and he doesn't let others use it!"

"Then you have to borrow it first, and when you have the opportunity, I'll help Xiao Wan transfer it for you!" Xu Zuyi said comfortingly.

Wan Yi left the military headquarters of Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army with the three strategies of operations, communications, reconnaissance, surveying and mapping, engineers, and artillery, and went deep into his subordinate departments to understand the situation. Finally, he came to Lianyungang, where his regiment was stationed. Wan Yi specially visited the chief of staff and the deputy head of the regiment. They try to restrain their feelings and pick out topics that block the enemy. However, their eyes and hearts ......

On January 30, Commander Song led a capable team to establish a front-line command in front of Tengxian County. Wan Yi was in the woods outside the command post and made a comprehensive report to Commander Song.

A pre-war inspection meeting is going on in a black tunnel. The telephone operator nervously contacted the various combat units.

On the evening of February 2, Yan'an broadcast Chairman Mao's important speech: "...... We must destroy the Japanese invaders! ...... "The more Wan Yi listened, the more excited he became. The broadcast ended, and there was silence. Commander Song said: "Tomorrow night, we will start fighting!" ”

Song Zheyuan nodded in agreement. "Hit!" "Hit hard!" Shouts filled the tunnel.

Chairman Mao's speech not only inspired the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, but also inspired the officers and men of the Kuomintang and the people of the whole country. In Tokyo, the Japanese prime minister is angry with his aides; In Shandong, Seishiro Sakagaki was hurriedly giving orders; And in Juxian, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army immediately formed a brigade commander with Seya as if he was sitting on a needle carpet, stood up abruptly, and suddenly overturned the chair!

Seya's horror wakes up his mistress, Captain Onio. When she saw Seya standing at the table, holding the radio in both hands, sweating profusely, she timidly asked, "General, are you in a bad mood?" ”

Seya propped up her chair and shook her head as she smoked a cigar on the match that the woman struck.

"What, can't we win?" Captain Yoyoko asked.

"No, Miss Comfort! From the radio, I think they know what our army is going to do. ”

"Hello, it's terrible!" The woman screamed and fell back to Seya's chest......

After the female captain was scared away, Seya closed the door, extinguished the candlelight, and wrapped himself in darkness. In the midst of his sleep, the phone rang......

Before this General Seya could figure out the contents of the call, his chief of staff came to his side and handed over a document. Seya signed the "Battle Plan for Retaking the Soup" handed over by the Chief of Staff, and his adjutant hurried in, leaned close to his ear and said, "General! The Chinese army has attacked Tengxian and Tangtou again! ”

"What?" Seya collapsed in the chair like a chicken, and for a long time, slowly grasping the plan he had just signed, and "snorted" and pulled it to pieces.

On the positions of our Chinese troops in Tengxian and Tangtou and other places, the fire dragon reflecting the red night sky ruthlessly poured revenge shells into the enemy's positions.

Zhang Zizhong strode into the military command post, picked up the phone and said, "Report!" Sir Lee! Our artillery fire has been extended, and the attacking troops have entered the positions of Tengxian and Tangtou and other places! ”

Li Zongren said quietly: "Good fight!" Your main focus is on the enemy's attack and not letting the enemy artillery get hurt. Dawn pays attention to coordination with the Air Force. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Zizhong put down the phone.

At dawn, under the cover of the air force and artillery, groups of Japanese puppet troops counterattacked. Our troops fired heavily at the enemy. Our young air force, intercepting enemy planes, attacking enemy artillery, bombarding enemy soldiers, forcefully cooperating with the infantry, victoriously repelled the enemy's counterattacks again and again.

Good news! Soup is a big success! In one fell swoop, Chinese troops conquered Japanese positions on another section of the front. The recovery of Tangtou and other places greatly encouraged the Chinese army and civilians who attacked the enemy.

Even the defeated Seya was in the dimly lit headquarters, and he shouted to the chief of staff: "Stand up, stand up!" ”

In the headquarters of our 59th Army, Zhang Zizhong and the officers and men were pondering: Why didn't the Japanese army return the artillery? Why did you turn off the searchlight? It turned out that the enemy was massing a large number of forces, and the convoy was moving from the craters to the positions, preparing for a surprise attack.

After talking on the phone with the Theater Headquarters, Zhang Zizhong excitedly said to everyone: "There is a small Japanese general opposite us who has prepared a large piece of fat for us. Do we dare to eat it? , the comrades-in-arms said in unison: "You must eat!" ”

Our officers and soldiers were unanimous, everyone was gearing up, Zhang Zizhong was engrossed in marking on the map, and at the same time said to the telephone operator: "I want the head of Teng County Li!" Captain Li, give me a hard beating......"

After the operational deployment of the attacking enemy was completed, Zhang Zizhong walked out of the command post, stepped on the dawn before dawn, and stared into the distance. The sound of chopping wood nearby attracted his footsteps. In the mist, a tall warrior with broad shoulders, stripped off his padded jacket and drenched in sweat, was chopping down a large pine tree that hindered the shooting.

The sun has just come out and the curtain of battle has begun! Zhang Zizhong saw a Japanese reconnaissance plane from the lookout hole and slowly flew towards it.

"Let's get started!" Zhang Zizhong looked at his watch and ordered: "Cut off the way back and knock it out!" As soon as the words fell, the cannonballs bloomed. There was a thunderclap in the sky, and the enemy plane turned into a cloud of fireworks and floated towards the back ravine.

Air Force Target Guidance Group Report: Enemy aircraft detected. Zhang Zizhong said to himself: "Hehe, turn over the tricks!" ”

Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, and our army's fighter plane group flew southward like a lightning speed.

Zhang Zizhong ordered the artillery to bombard the enemy's command post and enemy artillery positions. The enemy positions in front of Tengxian and Tangtou were filled with smoke and fire.

Zhang Zizhong saw through the binoculars that behind Juxian, the enemy's cars and armored vehicles were running in panic with fireworks in tow, while the infantry were like lambs under a leather whip, wriggling in waves along the position.

"No! Drive the enemy out and put it in your pocket! Zhang Zizhong said with a wave of his hand.

Li Zongren reminded Zhang Zizhong by phone: "There are planes in the sky and tanks on the ground, have you noticed?" ”

"Noticed! Regardless of heaven and earth, resolutely fight a war of annihilation. ”

The sound of gunfire and artillery was like a raging storm, and the smoke and clouds of fire filled the sky.

"Resolutely crush the attack of the little devils!" We, the Chinese officers and soldiers, chanting slogans, rushed towards the enemy; Passing through the raging fire barriers, flying over ravines and hills, fighting with white knives, and the corpses of the enemy are everywhere......

The signal of victory has risen!

Zhang Zizhong ran to report to Xu Zuyi, the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Fifth Theater, and Xu Zuyi asked: "Comrade Zizhong, who are you teaching today?" - Seya Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army! ”

"Ahh Good! ……”
