Section 272 Finale

At this time, Shi waved his hand at Li Wenguang on the side and said: "Monkey, you take the brothers to fortify the position first, if you want to go back alive, it depends on how long we can hold out here!" ”

After that, he said to Yu Chengwan: "Brother Jianshi, Yu Gong, we are colleagues, and our independent regiment and the 57th Division have been fighting side by side under the same banner for several years. In private, I respect you as a brother, and I can call myself an irreversible friend, how can I not come at this time of crisis? ”

Yu Chengwan was covered with blood and ashes, which was far from his usual elegant image, and at this moment, he sat on the ground without care, took out the cigarette that was only half left from his arms, lit it himself, took a deep breath, and then handed it to a soldier on the side, and then said slowly: "You kid, your brain is really different from others." At this moment, don't you see the situation in Changde clearly? This is a game of dead chess, and only if our 57th Division dies in Changde, the whole game of chess can be brought back to life. This point, from the time the 10th Group was defeated from the Jiang defense line, was already doomed, and no one could change it. ”

"In the past few years, the devil has been worse than a year, whether it is military strength or financial resources, they have been greatly reduced and regressed, especially the successive defeats in the Pacific battlefield, so that the devil is already at the end of the road, at this time the devil's attack is just a dying struggle before death. Since it is a dying struggle, it is naturally very dangerous, in this case, what is the best way? Of course, it's not to fight with the devil, but to use the least loss to fight the devil's consumption, and consume it until the devil runs out of oil and the lamp runs out. Unfortunately, our 57th Division has become a pawn of this devil-consuming man, and the outcome has long been doomed. Yu Chengwan leaned there, closed his eyes, and said helplessly.

Shi Shi said indifferently: "Brother Jianshi, you have been here for so many days, the task has been completed, what is the point of staying here at this time, withdraw!" While there is still the strength of the first battle, evacuate here, leave a little vitality for the 57th Division, and let the 57th Division still have its formation! ”

Yu Chengwan didn't even open his eyes and said, "Stone, do you think I don't want to withdraw?" You think I don't want to live with my brethren? I really can't withdraw it, and I can't withdraw it! As long as we evacuate Changde, we will leave our posts without permission and violate military orders, and we will be shot in a military court. Brother Shi, in this case, you can still take the brothers to Changde to rescue, this kindness, someone Yu can't pay it back in this life, I hope it will be paid back in the next life. If we can get acquainted with a robe brother like you, even if we all die in battle, we will be blind to death, and while the devil has not figured out the situation yet, it is still too late for you to break through. ”

Shi Shi said unceremoniously: "Brother Jianshi, you are a little too selfish in what you say!" ”

When everyone on the side heard this, they couldn't help but look angry, after all, whoever accused their brother and commander like this would be unbearable.

Shi Shi said indifferently: "What's the point of keeping normal virtue now? You yourself know that Changde is now a dead game, as long as you stick to Changde for a day, the devil has not reached the combat mission, and you must keep attacking. And for the sake of their own safety, no one in the peripheral forces dared to enter Changde. In this case, why don't we evacuate Changde and give this place to the Japanese army, what do the devils want this scorched earth for? Do they have the courage to hold on to Changde in such a situation of siege on all sides? When the time comes, we will take Changde back, and it will not be difficult to use this as a base to restore the pre-war situation. ”

"As for Brother Jianshi's statement that going to the military court, this is even more of a joke, to shoot is just to shoot us officers, what does it have to do with the brothers below? If we die just a few lives, if we die for a few of us instead of stubbornly staying here, resulting in the destruction of the whole division, then it is called cowardice, that is called selfishness! Stone snapped.

Chai Yixinyan on the side immediately said sharply: "Head Shi, we are grateful for the help you and your brothers, but such nonsense and pointing fingers at the master are too much. Eating the king's lu, loyal to the king's thing, we repay the country with death is a great joy in life, and I hope that the head of the stone regiment will not save people with his own. ”

Yu Chengwan opened his eyes, he reached out and patted Chai Yixin's shoulder and said, "Lao Chai, Brother Shi is not such a person, if he has a little selfishness, he will not kill here at all costs." What do you get when you come here? Nothing but death. ”

After that, he turned his head to the stone and said: "Stone, this matter is not a trivial matter, people die in small matters, and honor is great, I don't want so many brothers to sacrifice their lives here for the country, and in the end, because of our actions, we will end up with a bad reputation, thousands of brothers' lives, how can I bear this responsibility?" ”

Shi Shi groaned for a while, and then said: "Whatever, Brother Jianshi, whether you fight or withdraw, I will stay here to accompany you, and we also have a companion on Huangquan Road!" ”

The Japanese seemed to have been taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Nationalist troops, and they did not attack again until dawn. However, with this lesson of the night, the Japanese army is also more and more worried about the current situation, the appearance of this national army reinforcements, indicating that the national army troops are ready to kill behind them at any time, and also make the current situation more and more serious.

After dawn, after reinforcing the outer defensive forces, the Japanese army also launched a fierce attack on Shuangzhong Lane again. However, this time, the Japanese army was hit by the head, several waves of attack, in addition to the loss of the general, not even the edge of the national army position was touched, after a night, the enemy army that was already about to collapse, in vain became strong and incomparable, not only one by one marksmanship accurate, the cooperation between each other is also flawless, there is no loophole at all, for a time they actually have a feeling of nowhere to start.

This situation made the Japanese army, which had already suffered enough in Changde, complain about the bitterness, and until now, the losses of various units have far exceeded the original estimates and ideas, and the peripheral situation has become more and more severe, and the Japanese army already has a feeling that it cannot advance or retreat.

Time passes in this constant tug-of-war and attrition. Since the stone discussed it with Yu Chengwan in the early morning of the 29th, he has not made a sound again. In the following time, he also put all his energy on blocking the Japanese attack, and even last night, taking advantage of the Japanese attack, he also organized men to launch a counteroffensive against the area occupied by the Japanese army. The counteroffensive under such circumstances made it really unimaginable and unpredictable for the Japanese army, and as a result, a combat squad at the front was defeated in a short period of time, and a large amount of combat materials were missed, which also alleviated the shortage of materials of the 57th Division to a certain extent.

However, on December 2, it was the 9th day of the 57th Division's street battle with the Japanese army in Changde City, and the previous 8 days and 8 nights of bloody fighting had exhausted the last strength of the 57th Division. Although their plight has been alleviated to a certain extent because of the reinforcements brought by Shishi, according to the current situation, it is impossible for other parts of the national army to rush to reinforce again. Even though the reinforcements on the periphery had already rushed to the outskirts of Changde a few miles two or three days ago, the next few miles were like a moat, and there was no breakthrough.

Yu Chengwan decided to break through! This is not only to keep the 57th Division a little fire and not have the notoriety of annihilating the whole army, but also to repay the officers and men of the independent regiment. After all, Shi can bring more than 100 brothers from the independent group to live and die with them, and they really have no reason to let all these brothers die here for the sake of their own fame.

Then Yu Chengwan summoned everyone in the division to announce his decision, no one objected, in fact, the battle has been fought like this, no one has any other ideas, whether it is to break through or die in battle, they have long been numb, after all, the 57th Division of more than 8,000 people, there is only a little more than one division left until now, this casualty ratio, so that the living people feel that there is no difference between the dead.

But on the issue of staying behind after the break, there was still a little dispute, and Yu Chengwan meant that he wanted to stay and take the wounded to the queen. But Chai Yixin resolutely disagreed, as a subordinate, it was impossible for him to watch his commander stay here and go back safely. The brothers of the 57th Division also disagreed, they were still waiting for the division to rebuild the 57th Division to avenge them, if the division commander stayed, who else could avenge this revenge?

Yu Chengwan had no choice but to break through with Shi and others.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of December 3, the Japanese army broke through the position of Shuangzhong Lane and took Changde.

But only 6 days later, the commander of the 57th Division, Du Ding, entered Changde with the newly formed 11th Division and the 32nd Regiment and recaptured the position where the officers and men of the 57th Division were buried. On the 11th, Yu Chengwan personally planted a temporary new national flag on the tower of Xiaoximen.

However, after the battle, the special officers of the military commissar put Yu Chengwan, the officers of the 57th Division, and the stones of the independent regiment into prison. This incident immediately aroused the anger of the junior sergeants, and before Wang Yaowu and other commanders came forward, the surviving soldiers of the 57th Division attacked the vehicles of the special officials of the Military Commission, and a lieutenant general sent by the Military Commission, Gao Shen, was killed on the spot.

This incident immediately aroused the great attention of the High Military Commission, and it also attached special importance to the affairs of the 57th Division. At the same time, the news that someone reported that Shi had fornicated with "*" also spread, and for a while, the entire 74th Army was shaken, and Wang Yaowu even rushed to Chongqing to plead with the chairman of the committee in person, trying to protect the two beloved generals under his command.

However, when it comes to fornication*, even if it is a catch-up, it can be fatal. At this time, Yu Chengwan's abandonment of Changde was secondary, and he was sentenced to two years in prison. Instead, the stone was sentenced to a gun, and it was immediately executed.

Wang Yaowu never expected such a result, and was immediately dumbfounded.

However, something even more shocking then appeared, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment entered the prison on a dark and windy night to rescue Shishi, and fought their way out of the siege, from where this army went, where Shi and others ended up there, became a mystery.

Some people say that they went back to the mountains around Liuzhou, Guangxi, and some people say that they went to Sichuan, but Shi and others disappeared in vain and were no longer mentioned.

And Wang Yaowu, who returned to the army, then learned the details of the matter, there is no doubt that the independent regiment was able to fight a bloody battle so easily, and Zhang Lingfu and others played a vital role in it. And who is the person who falsely accused the stone of being a "bandit"? Soon after, Li Tianxia was transferred out of the 74th Army, which can already explain the problem.

On May 16, the 36th year of the Republic of China (1947), Zhang Lingfu stood on the highest peak of Menglianggu and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he saw the war in all directions. In this battle, the integrated 74th Division, which was based on the 74th Army, lured the enemy alone and was under siege. In the battle with the Japanese army, Zhang Lingfu, who was often in danger, wanted to use this opportunity to use himself as bait to attract the enemy here, so as to inflict heavy losses on the enemy army in one fell swoop.

However, after waiting for so many days, reinforcements never arrived. At this time, the reorganized 74th Division had run out of ammunition and food, and Zhang Lingfu felt the defensive line that might be broken through by the enemy at any time, and couldn't help but laugh lonely. He muttered, "If Brother Shi and the Tiger Ben Independent Regiment were still there, why would there be today's defeat!" Pull out a gun and commit suicide!

The reorganized 74th Division was completely annihilated in Menglianggu!
