Chapter Thirty-Six: Gathering the Stars
Through Fang Xiaoyu's guidance, Zhao Ming and the two found that the Japanese army had laid out a large number of sentinels, so tight, and finally Zhao Ming and the two of them couldn't help but show a look of despair on their faces and said: "little devil, the defense is so tight, we can't do it at all." ”
Fang Xiaoyu also smiled bitterly, if there are too many people, you can also try to impact it, even if it alarms the devils in the city because of this, as long as they can take away General Wang's body, it is worth it, the key is that they add up to three people, as long as they show up, I am afraid that it will be a dead end.
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Ming suddenly raised his head and looked at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Platoon Commander Fang, the two of us are responsible for luring away some of the devils stationed here, and the rest is up to Platoon Leader Fang!" ”
Whether it was Zhao Ming and the others, who were responsible for leading away the Japanese army, or Fang Xiaoyu, who was responsible for rushing into the courtyard and taking away Wang Mingzhang's body, they had to bear great risks.
It can be said that Zhao Ming and the others are completely risking their lives to lure away the Japanese army, and Fang Xiaoyu is also desperate.
After taking a deep look at the two of them, Fang Xiaoyu nodded heavily and said, "Okay, even if I fight for my life, I will definitely bring out the body of the division commander." ”
Hearing Fang Xiaoyu say this, Zhao Ming and the two had smiles on their faces, and in Fang Xiaoyu's eyes, the smiles of the two were so peaceful and sacred.
The two saluted Fang Xiaoyu, turned around and disappeared into the night, Fang Xiaoyu saw the figures of the two disappear, and sighed slightly, this time the two of them were only afraid of death or life.
Without thinking much else, Fang Xiaoyu hid his figure in the dark, and after a while, suddenly a gunshot rang out, and he saw a devil soldier guarding the compound fall to the ground, and suddenly the devils around him were alarmed.
Immediately, there was a squad of devil soldiers with guns, and under the leadership of the small squad leader, they chased cleanly in the direction where the gunshots came.
And Fang Xiaoyu seized this opportunity and took advantage of the chaos of the devil to mobilize people and horses to sneak into the compound.
Fang Xiaoyu, who was shocked into a cold sweat, finally entered the compound without danger, Fang Xiaoyu concentrated on the secret investigation and found out several secret outposts in the courtyard.
Fortunately, the Japanese army was tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and more attention was paid to the outer guard, and there were only three secret posts in the compound.
Quietly touched the three secret whistles, Fang Xiaoyu was a little relieved, and went straight to the main hall.
At the entrance of the main hall, I saw a ghost soldier sitting on the threshold with a gun and constantly planting his head, obviously sleepy.
A knife slashed at the devil's neck, and a click was heard, and the devil soldier went to see the emperor in his sleep.
At a glance, I saw that on a door panel in the main hall, the body of General Wang Mingzhang was lying on the door panel.
A devil squad leader was sleeping on a Taishi chair that he didn't know where to scavenge, snoring like thunder, no wonder Fang Xiaoyu didn't alarm the Japanese squad leader when he killed the soldier at the door.
Walking forward, Fang Xiaoyu held the squad leader's neck and twisted it violently, he heard a click, opened his eyes, and the squad leader who was full of shock and disbelief only remembered Fang Xiaoyu's face and completely lost his breath.
At this time, there was no one else in the room except him, standing next to the body of General Wang Mingzhang, Fang Xiaoyu saluted, pulled off the armed belt of the Japanese squad leader in three strokes, and found a rope, and finally tied the body of General Wang Mingzhang to his back.
Ordinary people are afraid that if they carry a corpse on their backs, they will be tired and out of breath for a long time, but Fang Xiaoyu has no problem, he walked more than ten miles back to the city with hundreds of pounds of ammunition on his back.
Carrying the body of General Wang Mingzhang on his back, Fang Xiaoyu walked out of the compound the original way, and it was a loss that no devil found out about the shocking changes in the courtyard, otherwise Fang Xiaoyu would definitely be able to block it.
Finally leaving the compound, Fang Xiaoyu was relieved, looked at the body of General Wang Mingzhang behind him and said softly: "Division commander, let's go together!" ”
After speaking, Fang Xiaoyu sneaked into the night.
It is not difficult to leave Tengxian County at all, after all, the huge Tengxian County has already been bombed by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army can guard the city gate, but there are absolutely not so many troops to block all the gaps.
Besides, it was impossible for the Japanese army to spend their energy on this, so Fang Xiaoyu went out of the city smoothly.
Looking at the starry sky and identifying the direction, Fang Xiaoyu determined the location of Taierzhuang and went straight to Taierzhuang.
Taierzhuang is located at the junction of Sulu, located in the south of Zaozhuang, located in the north bank of the Grand Canal 30 kilometers northeast of Xuzhou, on the railway branch line from Lincheng (now Xuecheng District of Zaozhuang City) to Zhaodun, connecting Jinpu Road in the north, connecting Longhai Line in the south, adjacent to Nansi Lake in the west, it is the gate of the southeast gate of the mountain, the gateway of Xuzhou, it is the last barrier to Xuzhou in the south, the world-famous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal traverses the whole territory, it is the hub of the north-south transportation since ancient times, the strategic location is very important, it is the place where the soldiers must fight in history, and it is the first place for the Japanese army to attack Xuzhou.
In a hurry overnight, with Fang Xiaoyu's foot strength, even with Wang Mingzhang's body on his back, he still rushed to Taierzhuang.
Yuanwangtai Erzhuang is like a fierce beast entrenched on the land of Sulu, which is called the first village in the world by Emperor Qianlong, even if it is now spread by war, it is still extraordinary.
Although Taierzhuang is an ancient town, most of the buildings in it are made of bluestone, which is not worse than the city, and it can be said that the buildings in it may not be able to be razed to the ground under the bombardment of idle cannons.
It is precisely because of this that Taierzhuang will become the focus of contention between China and Japan, the Japanese army wants to take Taierzhuang, take Xuzhou directly, and win the battle of Xuzhou.
So far, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides have gathered within a hundred miles of Taierzhuang, and the **** side can be said to be star-studded, Li Zongren, Li Pinxian, Zhang Zizhong, Sun Lianzhong, Tang Enbo, Pang Bingxun, Sun Zhen, Chi Fengcheng and other well-known generals in later generations gathered together.
On the Japanese side, the North China Front Army Terauchi Shouyi, the Second Front Army Nishio Shouzo, the two master commanders, the Fifth Division Ita Heng Seisishiro, and the tenth division commander Isoya Ryosuke, are also twinkling stars.
When Fang Xiaoyu arrived at Taierzhuang, it was already March 19th, at this time, the Isogu Division had taken advantage of the momentum of capturing Tengxian County to take Lincheng in one fell swoop, Zaozhuang and Tengxian were lost on the 18th, so far, the Japanese soldiers pointed directly at Taierzhuang.
Before he got close to Taierzhuang, Fang Xiaoyu was discovered by several sentinels.
Several soldiers shouted at Fang Xiaoyu with rifles: "What person? ”
Fang Xiaoyu carried the body of General Wang Mingzhang on his back, running all night, even if he was full of energy, he couldn't support it, and the reason why he was able to hold on for so long was completely by a breath of heart, so when he saw the soldiers on the **** side, Fang Xiaoyu's heart was relieved, and he only had time to report his number, explaining that he was carrying the body of General Wang Mingzhang and then fainted.
Several soldiers looked at Fang Xiaoyu fainting with a stunned expression, especially when they learned that Fang Xiaoyu was carrying the body of the commander of the 122nd Division.
