30. Besieged
Linyi became a pot of porridge, hundreds of thousands of troops were crowded to this side, and Xuzhou was directly ignored.
For the Japanese army, it was because the national army in Linyi repeatedly challenged their bottom line, which made them extremely angry. As far as the national army is concerned, wherever Japan fights, they will naturally defend it.
……
Linyi
Except for the peripheral positions in the south of Linyi County, the other three positions were fiercely attacked by the Japanese army.
Even, there was a situation where the position was lost but was snatched back by the fighters again. The battle was fierce, and every second, there were soldiers who were injured or killed.
The special combat team members are the grassroots commanders who are constantly sniping at the Japanese army.
The 40th Army of the National Army, with a total of about 30,000 people, guarded the east, west and north of Linyi County, and excluding the logistics personnel, the soldiers on the positions in each direction were less than 6,000. Therefore, on the first day, even with the help of the snipers of the special combat team, the situation was still very unoptimistic. The national army troops supporting Linyi had not yet arrived in Linyi at this time.
Linyi has become a flesh mill, stirring blood and life.
March 21, 1938 at 10:30 p.m
On the position of the national army west of Linyi, three people wearing Japanese military uniforms took advantage of the night to touch out.
The position west of Linyi County was the main direction of attack of the Japanese 13th Division. The 13th Division of the Japanese Army is the original standing division of the first division of Japan, and it is the trump card of the first division and the strongest combat effectiveness. It was abolished on May 1, 1925 and rebuilt on September 10, 1937. He participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Jiangyin, the Battle of Wuhan, etc., and was the vanguard of the war of aggression against China and the first of the crimes of the Nanjing Massacre. At this time, the division commander of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army was Ogisu Libing, a Japanese lieutenant general, who graduated from the 17th Army Non-commissioned Officer School in March 1905, and graduated from the 28th Army University in November 1916.
Therefore, in today's battle to defend Linyi, the battle situation in the west of Linyi is the most tragic. The positions outside the city were lost for a time, and they were recaptured by the national army. On the position, there were wounded soldiers everywhere. And the Japanese army, a one-day attack, casualties are also not small.
……
Headquarters of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army
"Yaga!" Ogishu Libing said angrily, "More than 3,000 soldiers were killed and injured in one day!" How can the Chinese army have such great combat effectiveness! ”
"Your Excellency Division Commander, according to our analysis, there are snipers in the Chinese army, who specialize in killing Jun Cao, causing the combat team to lose its leadership and causing huge casualties to our army." An operational staff officer said.
"And then?" Ogizhou Libing said coldly, "I don't want a reason, I want a solution." ”
"Hi. The conclusion given by the General Staff is that the rank collar badge is not worn! The staff officer bent over.
"Then go for it. Tomorrow, I hope to have dinner in Linyi County by this time. "Ogisu Ri Bingdao.
"Hey."
……
At this time, in the tent of a soldier of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army,
"Now, give you a cigarette." Zhou Weiguo said to a Japanese soldier in Japanese at this time, "Can you lend me a fire?" ”
"Majiru ~ Na." The Japanese soldier immediately took out matches and exchanged them with Zhou Weiguo.
"Why don't you go to rest?" Zhou Weiguo then asked, "Do you still have money to lose?" ”
The Japanese soldier shrugged his shoulders and then smiled wryly, "A little more." What's more, when he returned to the camp, it was also the wailing of his comrades-in-arms, how could he sleep. ”
"yes, it's good that I wasn't hurt today. It's also uncomfortable to watch them get hurt. Today, the casualties are so great. Zhou Weiguo said with palpitations.
"yes, I don't know when the army of China became so powerful."
Zhou Weiguo looked cooperative and said, "Yes." Then Zhou Weiguo sighed and said, "I still have some money, and I'll gamble two more." ”
"Together, I'll watch you bet! Cheer you on! ”
……
In the dark place of the position of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, two figures kept whispering and then dispersed.
……
At 11:03 a.m., a huge explosion was heard
"What's the matter?" The gambling Japanese troops were in chaos, and the explosion was so loud that even the ground shook.
Immediately, the highest-ranking soldier in this camp was a young man, who casually pointed to two people and said, "You guys go check it out!" ”
"Hey!"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the tent, and a Japanese soldier fell in disbelief.
"Who?" Zhou Weiguo jumped out of his original position, "Who fired the gun?" ”
All of a sudden, the eyes of the Japanese soldiers changed to each other.
"What's going on?" Japanese soldier Shaozo asked.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Zhou Weiguo saluted, "As soon as a gunshot rang out, Lin Mu Erlang fell!" However, the camp was full of our own soldiers, and I guess it was because someone had lost too much, so they ......"
As soon as Zhou Weiguo's voice fell, the distrust between the Japanese soldiers became more direct.
"All out!" Shao Zuo said anxiously, because at this time, the Japanese soldiers looked at him differently.
Soon, the first soldier looked at the crowd with suspicion and quickly withdrew from the camp. At this time, Zhou Weiguo also looked at everyone with a 'suspicious' gaze, and then withdrew from the camp. Where there is a leader, there are those who follow.
And when people outside the tent also died suddenly, everyone began to take guns and point them at everyone except themselves.
Silent fear, spreading.
More and more soldiers came out of the different tents, watched the situation, and then heard that they all picked up their guns.
Zhou Weiguo knew that he had to act quickly, otherwise, it would be in vain if a more senior Japanese officer came over.
"No, we are comrades in the same trench! We are the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire! How can you hold a gun at your own people! Zhou Weiguo shouted in disbelief as if he couldn't stand the pressure, and then withdrew from the crowd step by step and ran out.
And everyone just watched, touched by Zhou Weiguo's words, some people wanted to put down the gun, but no one refused to be the first.
Soon, a team of patrolmen came over, saw the situation, and said angrily, "All of them, put down the guns!" ”
And at this time, in the rear of the patrol, a gunshot rang out, and another soldier fell.
"Hit them! He killed our soldiers! They must be spies! I don't know who shouted, and then, a shot was fired.
"Yaga!" The patrol captain wanted to say something more, but when he saw all the guns pointed at him, he was also angry, and he took out his pistol and shot at a soldier!
