CHAPTER II. 1
Everyone looked at it, and it was none other than Yi Anhua, the commander of the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division, who was in charge of the right flank position of Zhonghua Gate.
For Yi Anhua to lead his troops to Guanghuamen at this time, Yang Longfei was a little surprised. Looking at his journey of dust, could it be that the Zhonghua Gate has been ......
"Lao Yi, what's the situation with your brother?" Yang Longfei asked straight to the point.
Yi Anhua waved his hand angrily: "Don't mention it, the headquarters has transferred another regiment to Zhonghua Gate and squeezed our brigade here...... Fang Luocheng's kid is really playful, he and his mother are about to start street battles with the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, and the battle for a city gate alone has to be fought seven or eight times, and both sides are in a hurry......"
"How is that kid Fang Luocheng, is he still at Zhonghua Gate?" Yang Longfei then asked.
"It's long gone, I withdrew two hours ago. This kid had a bad fate, and when he was blocked at the battlement of the city tower, he was shot by a devil behind him, and the whole person was directly rolled from the top of the city tower to the moat downstairs. Even if this kid has a big life, if it were on your side, and drained all the water in the moat before the battle began, at the height of the roof of the Zhonghua Gate Tower, that kid would have to be smashed into flesh...... It's okay, their regimental guard platoon fought desperately to save a life, and they were sent to the field hospital on the side of the Confucius Temple two hours ago......"
Yang Longfei sneered: "Don't say it, this kid is really fateful!" Alas, Lao Yi, as soon as Luo Cheng's 67th regiment is withdrawn, and your brigade comes to us again, then there will only be a new regiment left on the Zhonghua Gate? Can it stand up? Didn't you say that? The 6th Division of the Japanese Army outside the city gates! Gu Shoufu's old devil is not a fuel-efficient lamp......"
"You ask me? Who the hell am I going to ask? If it weren't for this, Lao Tzu wouldn't have been so popular! Who knows what kind of wind the command will suddenly smoke? I said that the Zhonghua Gate is empty of troops, and it is better to transfer another regiment of troops to assist in the defense, but Chief Tang just won't let me say it! I made several phone calls in a row, but in the end, it was okay, the telephone line was dismantled by Lao Tzu, and a herald was sent to send me a written order to transfer our 259 Brigade to Guanghuamen to assist in the defense, and finally did not forget to add an official sentence: If you disobey the military order, you will be dealt with by military law. You say, the old man has talked about this, do you think I can't help but come? Brigade Commander Yi Anhua admitted that his words were unfounded, so he simply handed the written order issued by the garrison headquarters to Yang Longfei and his colleagues.
After Yang Longfei took the written order, he tore it to shreds without even looking at it, and scolded: "What kind of battle is this?" Just go home and coax the child to go! It's a fucking stupid pig command, fuck me ......"
"Alas, Brother Long Fei......" Seeing that Yang Longfei was getting happier and happier the more he scolded, Tie Haichuan hurriedly grabbed Yang Longfei's arm with his teeth and claws, and stopped in a low voice.
Compared with Yang Longfei's unscrupulous words, Tie Haichuan seems to have better literacy and control. Even if the commander makes a mistake, it is the commander, and how to deal with it is the leader's business, and the subordinates must still have the least respect for him, and if everyone insults the commander with vulgar words like this, it can only prove that the issue of speech in the army is not well controlled.
Brigadier Yi Anhua, who was also indignant, was a little unaccustomed to the good boy style shown by Tie Haichuan, and shouted: "Alas, Haichuan, what kind of good person are you? Was Lao Yang wrong to scold? It's not just him, but I want to scold a few words? What the hell is this fucking war for, and in the end let the devil see the joke? Don't be a good child, it's time for you to say whatever you want, what are you afraid of? To tell the truth, in the current situation, coupled with such a random command from the headquarters, we are lucky to survive tomorrow! Anyway, I don't care, I told my wife and children before I came to the headquarters to report, don't wait for me, wait for the pension! I don't care what happens to you, anyway, I, Yi Anhua, don't plan to get out alive......"
", just that you are a bloody man? I, Yang Longfei, am not a bad breed! In a word, no matter how the headquarters commands, we will still do ours, no matter what, we can't let the devil underestimate our Chinese soldiers, even if we die, we must show our momentum! ”
As a few people were talking, a neatly dressed herald ran in front of Yang Longfei and the others, and stood up and saluted: "Chief Yang, the latest order of the headquarters: transfer the 259th Brigade Yi Anhua Division to take over the defense work of your department, and the 25th Regiment will be led by Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang Shan to withdraw to the Qixia Mountain position and stand by. Chief Yang followed me directly to the garrison headquarters, and Chief Tang wants to see you. ”
Yi Anhua was happy, he teased: "Yes, something is coming." I'll just say, what are you doing when you transferred our 259 Brigade over without a head, and you're here to take over the shift after a long time? Lao Yang, don't blame me for not reminding you, you have to be cautious, it's not a few hours before dawn, so you won't be able to eat tomorrow's dinner if you leave...... Well, it's better to leave, maybe Chief Tang wants to invite you to dinner......
Yang Longfei ignored Yi Anhua's verbal provocation, but asked the herald impatiently: "Don't say official words, what do you mean?" ”
"Chief Yang, I don't know what Chief Tang is looking for you for, anyway, it must have something to do with your regiment's unauthorized defense. According to Chief Tang's original words, your regiment suddenly withdrew its defense at Qixia Mountain, pulled the battle line to Guanghuamen at one time, and almost disrupted the deployment of the entire battle, and Chief Tang was very annoyed, dropped his hat, and said that he would be severely punished......"
"Severe punishment? What is the punishment? Lao Tzu cooperated with his brothers' troops to fight the little devils, is this also a mistake? No matter how well you strategically deploy, can't you clean up the little devil and take care of the fart? In this way, you go back and tell Commander Tang that our 25th Regiment has been engaged with the Japanese army attacking the city gate at night, and the battle does not know when it will end, and it cannot be withdrawn. As for whether he is annoyed or throws his hat, then I don't care, if he wants to, you can take this hat on my head and throw it for him. If he asks you to come to me again, you will say that I, Yang Longfei, have been killed! That's all, go for it! ”
The herald expressed dissatisfaction with Yang Longfei's reply: "Chief Yang, where is this?" Don't you want me to join you in deceiving your sir? You are a celebrity in front of Chief Tang, and a few words of oral education will be enough at that time, if you let Shangfeng know that I helped you lie, you will have to send me to the military justice department to ...... of Chief Tang's temper."
"You don't button your hat, what are we, only I, Yang Longfei, want you to do this! Are you going or not? You're not going, are you? Okay, then don't go back! Someone, tie him up for me, find a place to lock him up, and send someone to keep an eye on him. When the devils attack the city early tomorrow morning, I will put him into a commando team and go to the front of the devils for me! Damn, you little bunnies are living too comfortably, and running errands back and forth has become anti-Japanese? Which is so easy? What kind of soldier is it if you don't roll in blood and fire a few times? Early tomorrow morning, Lao Tzu will teach you what it means to fight! Escort me down......"
Before Yang Longfei's words fell, the stunned blue color of the first battalion commander Xie Dacheng immediately appeared. Before he could react to the herald in front of him, he preemptively subdued his opponent with a single move that he was best at. Then several warriors followed and brought a strong hemp rope, and no matter how the herald screamed and resisted, the warriors not only did not let go, but tied it more tightly.
Seeing that the herald was escorted away by the soldiers in a senseless struggle, Brigadier Yi Anhua sighed with a wicked smile: "Old Yang, you kid is bold enough to dare to kidnap people?" What people do is the work of passing on the word, and what they eat is the food of running errands, so you have to get people to the front line to fight the devils...... In case someone has three longs and two shorts tomorrow, then you will send the pension to his family? ”
", I don't know who gave me Lao Tzu's pension, and he still wants to advance it in advance? Besides, being able to slaughter a few more little devils on the battlefield can be regarded as his creation, Lao Tzu is teaching him to serve the country, even if he dies in battle, it should be, who makes him a Chinese...... The correspondent sent a report to the headquarters that the messenger sent to deliver the letter had unfortunately been killed in the enemy's artillery fire, and that the order had been received, but at present our 25th Regiment and its fraternal units were already engaged in the Japanese front line, and could not withdraw from the battle before dawn. In addition, please rest assured that Yang Longfei, the commander of the 25th Regiment, is ready to sacrifice and is determined to live and die with the Guanghuamen position! ”
"Yes!" The correspondent made a simple note in a notebook and then sent the contents out by code.
Yi Anhua gave a thumbs up and said, "Good job, Lao Yang, this seven-foot-tall man is not in vain, there is a kind!" Since you have to sacrifice, then count me Yi Anhua again! I'm still the same sentence, since I came in, I didn't plan to get out alive, and I only left a scar the size of a bowl when I lost my head, who is afraid of whom? Lao Yang, give the order, I, Yi Anhua, will be demoted in the firing line, and the 259th Brigade will fully obey the command of your Commander Yang! Let's send a mission! ”
Tie Haichuan also "snapped" upright, and roared with full anger: "Brother Long Fei, my 89th Regiment also has full authority to obey your command, and vow to carry forward the soul of the Whampoa Army, and this battle will not stop!" ”
……
At this time, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander of the 9th Division, was lying on a marching bed on his side, his eyes slightly closed, and the blade of the Goci saber in his hand was standing on the ground with the blade facing down. He gently caressed the delicate patterns engraved on the hilt, especially the blooming "chrysanthemum" motif that symbolized the prestige of the royal family. Ryosuke Yoshizumi squinted and pondered alone, his brain as if he was wandering in the vastness of the universe, and no one knew what he was thinking......
"Your Excellency the commander of the reporting division, Commander Matsui Ishine of the Central China Front has called, looking for your ......," the chief of staff of the division, Nakagawa Kosa, reported after entering the camp tent.
Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke didn't seem to be bothered to get up, he waved to bring the telephone to his bedside along with the telephone line, and then picked up the microphone and said calmly: "I am Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Division......"
On the other side of the microphone came the voice of General Matsui Ishone, commander of the Central China Front: "Yoshizumi-kun, I heard that your attack was not going well, and I deliberately observed the battle between the enemy and our army through the scissor mirror at the command headquarters. I have a question, why can't your 9th Division break through the enemy's defense line after the heavy artillery bombardment of the Chinese defenders at Guanghua Gate? You must know that although your troops have conquered the city gates, their control is still in the hands of the Chinese garrison. For two consecutive days, it can almost be said that it was a non-stop battle day and night, and instead of being eaten, the Chinese defenders responsible for the defense of the gate were increasing. I hope you can explain to me whether the current battle situation is due to the high and deep pools of Nanjing, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, or is it due to your department's evasion of its edge and passive slackness? ”
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Yoshizumi believes that a temporary defeat in a battle should not change the honor of this army. Napoleon once said: 'The principle of conducting a war is the same as that of a siege, that the fire must be concentrated at one point, and that a breach must be opened, and once the stability of the enemy is destroyed, the task is to crush it once and for all.' What I want to tell the commander is that our 9th Division has carried out and achieved a devastating blow to the Guanghua Gate in the two days of passing through the passage and through the cooperation of various technical arms, and its city walls have also been destroyed by our artillery wing as never before, and now the Guanghua Gate is as fragile as a piece of paper, once our army drives straight in, it can break through the defenders' defense line and extend to the heart of the enemy, and then it will be like devastating to eat the 200,000 defenders in the city. I believe that after two days of unremitting efforts, the gap between the enemy and us in terms of strength and military strength has become wider and wider, and tomorrow at dawn, we only need to carry out a relatively large-scale group charge, and Guanghuamen is bound to collapse at the touch of a button! I hereby assure you and all my colleagues in the command that before twelve o'clock tomorrow noon, the sun flag will definitely be raised in the Guanghua Gate Tower! ”
"Very good, your plan is indeed exciting, and I hope that after you put it into action, it will still be as exciting and smooth as it was planned! After all, the Ninth Division was already the main force of our Imperial Japanese Army during the Russo-Japanese War. If the soul and founder of this army, the 'god of war' of the Imperial Army, General Nogi Noshinori ——— knew underground, I believe he would also be glad that the Ninth Division would have a rising star like Yoshizumi-kun! Yoshizumi-kun, rest well, I'll wait for your good news tomorrow! Matsui's voice was full of excitement and joy.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I will never fail to live up to your great trust, let alone the supreme honor established by the predecessors of the Ninth Division. I hereby assure you that Yoshizumi will use the blood of the Chinese garrison to comfort all the soldiers of our Central China Front in the Battle of Nanjing, they are the pride of the empire and true samurai! ”
"Goodbye, Yoshizumi-kun, let's wait quietly together, ready for the dawn of tomorrow's victory......"
