Section 75 Marching into Wuqiao Town

Wu Zihuai's words quieted down in the headquarters, but soon they shouted angrily, stopping the reinforcements of the 34th Division sounded important, but they couldn't hear the meaning. To put it bluntly, the battle of the 33rd Division to encircle and annihilate them has no part at all, except for the front line of garrisoning Huaqiao and Wuqiao, they don't need to do anything else.

Lin Xiufeng, who has always respected Shangfeng, couldn't help but say loudly at this moment: "Brother Wu, what do you mean by the 70th Army?" This kind of war doesn't let us participate in the war, so what are we staying here for? If we had known that this would be the case, we should have returned to the operational sequence of the military headquarters, at least we wouldn't have watched it like we are now! ”

Liu Wenfeng sneered on the side: "What do you mean? Lin Tuan attached, people are clearly not wanting us to rob the credit, in the Shangfu area, their three armies surrounded a division of the devil, no matter in terms of geography or strength and strength, they are far beyond the little devils, at this time, if we participate in the war, what do you think of the summit? Maybe the report will say that the 74th Army of the 'Anti-Japanese Iron Army' has made another great contribution and encircled and annihilated a division of the Japanese army together with the 70th Army and other friendly troops! How many big battles has our 74th Army won in recent years? In this case, isn't it normal for these chiefs to leave us alone? ”

Li Wenguang, the commander of the regimental headquarters and battalion, also nodded and said: "I will do the same thing if I replace me, obviously I can do it alone, why should I find someone more famous than me to share the credit?" This battle has been fought well, the three armies have become famous, and when the time comes, the equipment treatment will be on an equal footing with our 74th Army, how can this kind of good thing be shared by others? ”

Seeing that the more they talked, the more unreasonable they became, he couldn't help waving his hand and said, "Whether you fight or not, it's all the matter of the chiefs, what are you talking about?" If you really have that ability, you can sit in someone else's position and arrange how others fight, and if you don't have this ability, you will honestly listen to the commands of the officials. Ordered us to guard Huaqiao and Yifeng, then do our job well, guard these two places, if something goes wrong and let the 34th Division kill us from our position, and the plan to encircle and annihilate the 33rd Division fails, which of you can afford this responsibility? After that, Shishi's cold gaze swept over everyone, and a group of fierce generals who were fierce in front of the devil couldn't help but bow their heads one by one, most of them were older than Shishi, and their military qualifications were much richer than Shishi's. However, in the face of Stone's unparalleled record, everything was overshadowed.

With a cold snort, the stone left everyone and walked out, leaving only everyone looking at each other.

The stone's reaction was obviously much more than they expected, and they didn't seem to have seen the stone fire before, except on the battlefield. Today's appearance of him made everyone a little confused. After a long time, Gao Da Hammer sneered and said: "You guys, you just don't know how to use your brains, if you are angry, don't you be angry with the stone?" The gang of the 70th Army won and lost, either they were rewarded for their meritorious service, or they patted their butts and left, as long as the troops are there, only if they have strength, they will be the same everywhere! But are we the same? This battle was lost, Yifeng and Shanggao were lost, our hard work in the past two years was in vain, and Shi wanted to win this battle more than anyone else! But did we do the Lord? Has the stone done the Lord? An order from the top came down, let us fight, we will fight, let us withdraw, we still have to withdraw! There's a for talking so much nonsense! ”

After saying that, the tall sledgehammer also patted his ass and walked out, obviously dissatisfied with their performance just now. The people who stayed in the headquarters couldn't help but feel ashamed, compared to the stone, obviously their performance was more narrow and selfish, as the battalion company commander, they should have to share the worries of the stone, not on the contrary, everything still needs the stone to worry about, just from this way of thinking about the problem, they have a big deviation.

Not to mention the dissatisfaction of the officers and men of the Independent Regiment after receiving the order, starting from the evening of March 20, under the leadership of the 70th Army, the three armies of the National Army launched a fierce attack on the 33rd Division.

The commander of the 33rd Division, Sakurai Province, has commanded the troops all the way since the start of the war, constantly breaking the defense line of the national army, and now in vain he found that the national army that had been retreating actually stopped and did not retreat, and immediately reacted, the enemy wanted to encircle and annihilate their 33rd division here! To be honest, Sakurai has just been transferred to the post of commander of the 33rd Division, and he actually hopes to fight a good battle to consolidate his position. This is also the reason why he agreed to participate in this battle even though he knew that his division was about to be transferred to North China.

But also because of this reason, he has some gains and losses, and he doesn't want to consume too many troops, so as not to be difficult to keep up with Shangguan after being transferred to North China. Therefore, as soon as it was discovered that the troops were very likely to be surrounded, Sakurai immediately ordered the troops to retreat, which was completely different from the style of other Japanese troops, and there was not the slightest hint of the bushido spirit advocated by the Japanese army.

However, such a situation was not expected at all for the commanders of the 70th Army, although the 72nd Army and the 78th Army had initially reached the position of encirclement, but the time was too hasty, and they did not even have time to build a position, so they collided with the retreating troops of the Japanese army. In hand-to-hand combat, although they had the advantage of momentum and troops, they did not have the courage to die and survive, and in the hand-to-hand fighting, the front several lines of defense almost did not cause any difficulties to the Japanese army and then collapsed.

General Li Jue, commander of the 70th Army, couldn't help but be very anxious when he saw this situation, once the Japanese army broke through, this encirclement and annihilation battle would become a joke, and in order to create such a situation, there was only one unit of the 74th Army fighting on the frontal battlefield, if the goal of encirclement and annihilation was not achieved, how should they explain to the officers and men of the 74th Army who fought bloodily?

Thinking of the 74th Army, General Li Jue couldn't help but think of the independent regiment that was still in Yifeng, the reason why the 74th Army was transferred out was mainly to deal with the right-wing battlefield, for fear that they would not be able to resist it alone. The troops that can get Wang Yaowu's trust are obviously not ordinary infantry regiments, he was bent on luring devils into the ambush circle, and he felt that the strength of the three armies was enough, but now it seems that it is not that there are too many people, but that the number of troops is too small. The strength of the Japanese army is really unpredictable by common sense, who would have thought that this kind of garrison division would be so fierce? Thinking of this, he did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered the independent regiment of the 74th Army to immediately rush to the front line of Wuqiao to set up defenses, establish a second line of defense, and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army.

When Shi received the order from the 70th Army, it was already late at night on the 20th. During the day, the news brought by Wu Zihuai really made them extremely unhappy, and they had no chance to participate in such a large-scale siege and annihilation battle, which was really an unbearable thing for them. But as he himself said, the orders were given by the commanders, what role could they, the little commanders, play? You can only do what you are told. It's the same now, when an order is given, they can only follow it, and there is no room for negotiation. However, although he finally had the opportunity to participate in the war, the stone was no longer as expected as before, although he had not received news from the front line yet, how many battles had he fought? Shangguan's order came down, and he smelled a trace of unusual breath, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly for a while, this battle seems to be hanging, and most of the plans to encircle him will not be completed, otherwise, it is impossible for this order to come over.

Stone convened everyone overnight, it was obvious that after the incident during the day, everyone's mentality was much calmer, although after hearing the order, their faces couldn't help but smile, but at least no one shouted anymore, after the stone simply conveyed the order, immediately ordered to set off. These days that the Independent Regiment is here, it is actually ready to participate in the war at any time, and although it is the middle of the night at this moment, there is no delay in the slightest.

At this time, Wu Zihuai interjected and asked, "Tuanzao, are you going to the Minfu camp too?" ”

Shi nodded and said: "Of course we have to go, the order is to let us rush to Wuqiao to garrison, obviously to us to establish a solid defense line to prevent the Japanese army from retreating, the Minfu battalion not only has to go, but also the responsibility of this is very heavy, whether the brothers can hold the Wuqiao or not, it depends on whether the brothers of the Minfu battalion can build a good position in the shortest possible time." ”

Lao Zhou on the side immediately said: "Stone, you can rest assured, now there are 500 more people in the Minfu camp than before, and most of them are young and strong, digging fortifications is definitely much faster than before, when you get to the ground, you just need to divide the place." ”

Shi also nodded with satisfaction and said: "With Uncle Zhou's words, I am relieved, without further ado, the whole regiment will set off immediately, and strive to arrive at Wuqiao before dawn, if the fortifications can be roughly established tomorrow." The certainty of this battle must be much larger, otherwise, without a solid position to fight the devils, we will not be able to stop it for long with one regiment. If we can arrive one minute earlier, we will have one more chance of winning, and if we can block the devil for one more minute, the devil's loss will be several times more! ”

"Rest assured, the brothers have never let you down, and this time they are absolutely guaranteed to complete the task." Liu Wenfeng yelled excitedly, and the excitement of having the opportunity to participate in the battle was unreservedly revealed.
