Chapter 59: Tangshan Melee

Suddenly, the loud charge continued to echo back and forth in the sky over the Xiaotangshan area, and the shouts of the charge rose higher and higher, and the allied troops jumped up from all sections and launched a combined attack on the enemy with lightning speed. The two regiments of men and horses on the left and right cut off the enemy's rear road like a vice.

The 2nd Main Attack Regiment, with the assistance of the "Dark Horse Regiment" of Zhang Tao and Mr. Gu, quickly outflanked the two flanks of the recalcitrant army.

Zhang Yaoming's main force almost fell into the "pocket" of the Allied army and was dizzy. The army was defeated, the establishment was in chaos, and there was no intention of responding to the war......"

At this time, the brigade deputy chief, deputy chief of staff, second regiment commander and others around Zhang Yaoming were all panicked and caught blind, so they had to stare at Zhang Yaoming with dead fish eyes.

"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Yaoming, a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Chiang Kai-shek who was born as a Whampoa student, was still forced to calm down at this time, and still said arrogantly, "The Allied forces have not been able to defeat us for a while, and now we are organizing resistance on the spot, and I will compete with the Allied forces in this Xiaotangshan area!" ”

"Brigade, brigade, 10,000, never!" The chief of staff, who came out of nowhere, gasped for breath, "Although the Allied forces are inferior in weapons, they are good at close combat, and in this fog, we will suffer a big loss." There is no good terrain to use here, and we can't be with Ji Hongchang Jiao. Otherwise, Nishiyiichi's bombers will not be effective, and even we will become ghosts of Japanese bombs, so we must leave here as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Yaoming glanced at the chief of staff, habitually scratched his head with his hand, thought for a while, raised his hand and pointed to the right and said: "Climb to the top of the mountain not far ahead, where the mountain is high and foggy, and there is a nameless big cave, not only to point out the bombing target to Xiang Xi Yiyi, but we can also hide in the cave to command the battle, but it is a natural garrison base." I order: concentrate your fire and rush there! ”

Zhang Yaoming's troops rushed to the top of the hill while resisting the Allied officers and soldiers who followed......

Fighting elsewhere was raging, the "pockets" of the allied forces were tightening more and more, and Zhang Yaoming's front troops were like fish in a net, unable to escape by just making a splash, and most of them had become a dish in the pot. They also saw that the main general had fled to the mountains, and that they had already been defeated, and some had laid down their weapons, and some had gone into the dense forest, ready to anoint the soles of their shoes......

Ji Hongchang and Xuanxia's father came to the forward position, they studied it concisely, and decided to leave the three regiments to cooperate with other brother troops to pursue the enemy, clean up the battlefield and prevent other Kuomintang troops from attacking with the little devils. Then, he ordered Zhang Tao and Mr. Gu's "dark horse regiment" to follow and chase towards the mountain.

The remnants of Zhang Yaoming's remnants withdrew to the top of the mountain, and all kinds of fruits on the trees here, whether raw or ripe, were almost swept away, and the sweat of the mountain people for a year immediately turned into water.

Zhang Yaoming ordered the commander of the first regiment, Wang Wu, to lead a team of men and horses to meet the enemy in danger and guard this outpost position, which was still 500 meters away from the cave. He led several cronies and the main forces such as the reconnaissance company and the special service platoon into the nameless cave.

Wang Wu and another regimental commander commanded the soldiers to cut down trees and carry rocks to dig the earth, and built simple fortifications halfway up the mountainside. They also dug up the grave for earth, and dug up almost all the graves, except for the bones of the dead, and dragged out the coffin boards and the whole coffin, and even the dead man's clothes were stuffed into the cracks in the stone to keep out the bullets.

There is a hot spring palace on this small soup mountain, which was originally the place where the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi and Qianlong had nothing to do, and later expanded it many times, and used the imperial pen inscription "Jiuhua Xixiu". The south side is the front palace, which is used to be called the original palace, and then expands into a quiet garden, which is the harem. The front palace is the place where the emperor deals with government affairs, and the harem has a bathhouse, a Shuqiong room, a flying phoenix pavilion, a Huize pavilion, and an open placket...... Most of these were damaged under the iron heel of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Zhang Yaoming and the others and their subordinates all gathered in the open space on the side of the hot spring, and a group of guards were scattered around and guarded. They have seen this vantage point, and the taut strings are always a little relaxed.

Zhang Yaoming looked around, squeezed out a smile that was rarely seen in front of his subordinates between his usually arrogant eyebrows, and said, "God really has eyes!" The Jade Emperor helped me with the 75th Brigade and brought this Baoshan Palace where many generations of emperors have lived, so that I can rely on the existing strength and this unique terrain to let us play with Fang Zhenwu, Ji Hongchang, Xuanxia Father and others for a while, and I will see that the allies can still bite my little cock off! ”

"What a good thing the brigade said!" Sun Xiaoping said flatteringly from the side, "This was once the place where the emperor lived, how could it not be safe?" After the fog clears, several supporting national troops will arrive, and we will be able to win a great victory from inside and outside. When the Allied forces are gone, let's take a good soak in the hot spring bath here, and go to this cold sweat and bad luck! ”

"The Japanese really want to make our 75th Brigade a friend, and I believe that he will be angry." The brigade deputy glanced at Zhang Yaoming with a smile, patted an operator next to him and said, "Send a telegram to General Xi Yiyi, tell them the situation here, and ask them to throw bombs into the four fires." ”

"Yes!" The operator retreated.

"Hey!" Sun Xiaoping sneered, "Now that the Kuomintang and Little Japan are under their control, how big a wave can he make with an ally of tens of thousands of people and a handful of reactionary elements?" Even Feng Yuxiang has 'gone into the wilderness', his little Fang Zhenwu, Ji Hongchang and Xuanxia's father and others should not be happy too early! ”

"Humph!" The chief of staff stomped his foot violently and sneered loudly, "In my opinion, you are happy too early!" This fog is so big, God knows when it will disperse, the allies said that they would fight it, but they were afraid of our lives-" He looked at Zhang Yaoming staring at him, and didn't dare to say any more.

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out, and a company commander ran panting and reported: "The front unit of the Allied army has begun to go up the hill and has engaged in fire with our troops. ”

"Hurry up and inform the first regiment commander Wang Wu, and hold the forward position on the mountainside at all costs. If you find someone retreating or fleeing, shoot them on the spot! ”

The little company commander left in response.

Zhang Yaoming called all the officers under his command over and made a speech of agitation before the war: "Ladies and gentlemen, as the saying goes: kiss the hometown people or not. We are all the Northwest Army brought out by Guan Linzheng, our Northwest Army is not easy to mess with, whoever wants to get along with us will completely wipe them out. ”

"Hit the bitch!" A regiment of long patted the horse.

Zhang Yaoming said: "Right now, we are at a life-and-death juncture, you and I are brothers of the Northwest Army who share weal and bene, raise troops for a thousand days, and use troops for a while, please work together to defend this treasure mountain, and completely defeat the allied army at the foot of this Tang Mountain." Division Commander Guan and several other armies are on the way to reinforcements, and the Japanese bombers have taken off and are about to come here to help us, so the current war situation is still very favorable to us. ”

"It's a big deal to fight with him!" The second regiment commander said.

Zhang Yaoming continued: "Everyone must strengthen their confidence, stick to me until the final victory, and then we will definitely be rewarded by merit." Now let's put it in front of you, if you want to disobey the yang and the yin, play conspiracy, sabotage, and be a deserter, then don't blame Zhang Mou for being scheming, I'm sorry for my fellow villagers! ”

"Never disgrace the Northwest Army, people are in Tangshan, and they will live and die with the palace!" The minions shouted in unison.

"Good, very good, thank you brothers of the Northwest Army for your loyalty to the party-state! Please, everyone take their seats and get ready to fight. Zhang Yaoming waved his hand, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs retreated one after another.
