Section 99 The Bloody Battle of Wanjialing XXXI

The words of the stone are like a big stone pressing on everyone's hearts, heavy, and people feel breathless.

They are all middle-level officers, and they have fought dozens of battles large and small, even if they are illiterate soldiers, these many experiences have also given them extremely rich battlefield experience. The current situation is indeed very bad as the regiment commander said. The battle around Dean is hard! With more than 100,000 horses in their first war zone, they fought hard with the devil's 11th army, and when the number of people was about the same, they fought for a month, and they haven't collapsed until now, and they are even thinking about encircling and annihilating a division of the devil, which is really an incredible thing.

Now, if the devils break through the long ridge, they can't plug the gap, so they naturally have to block and chase around, and they have to peel off a few layers of the devil's skin to say anything. If Changling is still there, it would be the best, but in that case, this battle will be more difficult to fight, the devils are shrunk into a ball, whether it is in the north or east, there are reinforcements, if you want to eat this wave of devils, you can only attack, but how difficult it is to storm the devil's position.

It is said that after the battle in the past few days, the 58th Division has suffered heavy losses, not only is the division headquarters almost gone, but even the military headquarters has sent guards, and only their 51st Division can have the strength to fight.

Thinking of this, the expressions on everyone's faces became complicated, such a big battle of encirclement and annihilation, I don't know if I can meet it in my life, and it is naturally a supreme honor to be able to participate in it in person, but after the bloody battle, how many of them can survive?

The night gradually deepened, as the cold became heavier and heavier, the solemn atmosphere that pressed on the Lion Ridge gradually disappeared, and the senior officers of the 74th Army, who had tense faces one by one, also showed joy on their faces at this moment, and began to talk and laugh. On the mountainside, where the leeward place, a few fires have risen, and in the mountains in October, the dew is getting heavier, and the chill is like a tide, which makes people extremely sleepy.

The busy officers were drinking tea and lighting the fire, and while driving away the chill on their bodies, they were eating the roast meat taken from the fire, enjoying the rare joy.

Yu Jishi personally took a roasted and fragrant rabbit from the fire and walked to the side. Feng Shengfa, who was tired and sitting there, saw the army commander coming, and immediately stood up respectfully, not slacking off at all because he was his old subordinate and had been fighting behind him for more than ten years.

"Brother Senfa, sit down and sit down, come, fill your stomach first, and then take a good rest, fight for a day, I'm afraid I haven't rested until now." Yu Jishi's face at this time did not have the usual seriousness, and he did not have the majesty he had before, and he looked very easy-going.

Feng Shengfa hurried over, the military uniform on his body was stained with blood, and his face that had experienced vicissitudes of life looked a little old because of the erosion of artillery fire, and he couldn't tell that he was a thirty-five-year-old person in his prime, compared with Yu Jishi, who was one year younger than him, it made people look like they were already forty years away.

Seeing the army commander so caring, Feng Shengfa saluted respectfully, and didn't dare to be, although Yu Jishi usually treated him like a teacher and a friend, but he didn't dare to go too far, after all, now that the identities of the two of them are here, Yu Jishi, who is already leading an army alone, can he be compared with a division commander.

"Brother Sen, Junzuo is so loving, others can't think of it, if you push three or four, I will come over and rob it." Wang Yaowu roared in the distance through the fire.

His voice immediately attracted laughter from everyone around him, and the already relaxed atmosphere added to the liveliness.

Yu Jishi smiled and stuffed the wooden stick in his hand into Feng Shengfa's hand, then turned around and said, "What's the matter, Zuo Min can't hold it back for a day?" ”

Wang Yaowu said with a smile: "Brother Senfa has been addicted to fighting in Changling, and we can't see a single ghost shadow here, so we can only be anxious, what is this called." ”

Feng Shengfa seemed to be really hungry, facing the roasted fragrant rabbit, he finally couldn't help but take a bite, and then the smell of meat poured all over his body, making him praise with satisfaction: "It's rare to eat a meal of rabbit meat, I really didn't expect that this meat tastes so delicious, especially this meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it really has a unique taste." ”

Wang Yaowu said with a smile: "Brother Sen, if you stay in Changling for another two days, let alone this rabbit meat, even the bones in it may be able to make you lose your soul." ”

"Zuomin's words are not necessarily true, in my opinion, I am afraid that it will take at least three or five days for Brother Sen to swallow even the bones, otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the food of our 74th Army is too shabby?" Yu Jishi also said jokingly.

Feng Shengfa listened to everyone's jokes, while munching on rabbit meat, and said with some vagueness in his mouth: "To be honest, if this battle in Changling is fought for two or three days, I'm afraid I really don't know if there is a life." In the first two days, the Fourth Army suffered heavy casualties, with nearly 10,000 casualties, and I thought it was the reason why the defenders on the front line had been absent from the battle formation for a long time and there were too many new soldiers. When I went into battle today, I realized that the ferocity of the Japanese invaders was indeed far superior to that of our army, and that they had the advantage of the air force and artillery, and that their offensive was so fierce that they had not seen it with their own eyes, who could believe it? ”

Speaking of business, the smiles on everyone's faces were ashamed, and they became solemn one by one, and Yu Jishi sighed even more: "With my dignified land of China, I can't compare with the small island country in the East in terms of firearms and artillery, it's really a bit unbelievable to say it." ”

Zhan Zhongyan, the deputy commander of the army in the distance, sighed when he heard this: "It is also helpless, the Manchus have ruled the Central Plains for more than 200 years, closed off the country, and brought disaster to the country and the people. Now that it has been weak for a long time, if it wants to rise, it must be peaceful for several generations to recuperate. ”

Speaking of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yu Jishi couldn't help but say with disdain: "A bunch of barbarians, who know what to govern and strengthen the country, a huge country has been torn apart by it, and there is a miasma, and now there are many wars and lives, which is really an unforgivable crime." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be silent, Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty abdicated on February 1, 1912, the Qing Dynasty perished, most of them were just about ten years old dolls, living in a turbulent and turbulent era, warlords divided and warped era, it was really unfortunate, for the decay and incompetence of the previous dynasty, naturally it was deeply hated, however, the past is gone, the reality in front of us, but we have to face it.

Feng Shengfa gulped the roast rabbit in his hand, while filling his empty stomach, he broke the silence and said: "Although the devil is stronger than us, it is not invincible, the strategy of time for space set by the principal is the most suitable at the moment, in Songhu, Nanjing and other places, although the repeated battles have suffered heavy losses and abandoned a large area of land, but now, as the devil occupies a larger and larger area, he has been weak in follow-up, and he is no longer brave, if he can encircle and annihilate the 106th Division, It will be another great victory after the great victory of Taierzhuang, which can completely annihilate a division of the Japanese invaders, annihilate the enemy army in a formation, and will definitely be able to blow the horn of counterattack and extinguish the arrogance of the Japanese invaders. ”

Zhan Zhongyan, Jiang Fusheng, Wang Yaowu and others nodded one after another, and after the shadow of defeat was shrouded for several days, now they finally saw the moon and saw the dawn of victory, all the fatigue disappeared, and the whole body was full of energy.

Yu Jishi retracted his emotion, took off the roasted game on the shelf, sat down and asked: "Senfa, let's talk about the situation over there in Changling, now that reinforcements from all walks of life are coming, maybe there will be a counterattack tomorrow." ”

Feng Shengfa heard the words and said: "Brigade Commander Qiu's 172 Brigade has basically finished fighting after a day of bloody fighting, and the 301 regiment that was reinforced afterwards has also suffered heavy losses, although the 174 Brigade still has the strength to fight, but it has been running back and forth in the past few days, exhausted its physical strength, and urgently needs to rest. ”

"Judging from the situation of cleaning up the battlefield after the war, the number of brothers we lost in battle on this day should be around 6,000!" Feng Shengfa then said helplessly.

And this number also shocked everyone around him, Yu Jishi was even more distressed when he heard this, and his face turned pale, the 58th Division was his old capital, there were many veterans, and his combat power was strong, but he didn't expect to lose more than half of it in a day, and if he wanted to reorganize the team, he didn't know how much energy and financial resources it would take. He asked in disbelief, "How can there be so many?" ”

Feng Shengfa, as the commander of the 58th Division, was naturally very distressed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The devil came suddenly, the number greatly exceeded our army, the 174 Brigade fell into a bitter battle from the beginning, and when the reinforcements arrived, the 174 Brigade had lost most of it, and the number of people was still down, this battle was bitter, Brigade Commander Qiu took the guard company to rescue everywhere from the beginning, and in the afternoon, there were only three people left beside him, three people!" ”

Yu Jishi suddenly, couldn't help but sigh helplessly, this kind of refueling tactic, he naturally knows the drawbacks, but this is also a helpless move, the devil turned around and shot, caught them off guard, there is no chance and room for adaptation, even if they know that such an action will suffer heavy losses, they have to do it, the most important situation before is to hold the long ridge and plug the gap, otherwise once the devil breaks out of the encirclement, it will be too late.

Wang Yaowu then asked, "Brother Sen, how about the loss of the devil?" ”

"No less than three thousand! And the shells should have been lost. Feng Shengfa said affirmatively.

Wang Yaowu couldn't help waving his arms when he heard this: "Okay! The devil is dead this time, three thousand! Nearly 10,000 people were lost in three days, and I want to see what the devil uses to break through this time! Now there are our troops everywhere, even if they don't fight, they can trap the devil alive, the 106th Division! Wait for the whole army to be wiped out! ”
