Chapter 4: Turning to War (4)

Looking at the twelve carts of supplies in Xu Ping's hand, Ou Shounian's heart was dripping blood, how much money does it cost to redeem these materials back! Qin Jishi, the logistics director of the 1056th Regiment and a profiteer, has already handed over the names and home addresses of the four supernumerary companies of the 1056th Regiment, and as long as the Guangxi Provincial Government distributes the money to the families of the four companies according to the roster and the amount of money, these 12 truckloads of supplies can be handed over to the 48th Army. In the future, the same will be true, and the income of the four companies will be treated accordingly.

Ou Shounian reported to Li Pinxian that since there are no directly subordinate units at the regimental level, should all these companies be placed in the 526 Brigade, which will be directly under the 526 Brigade, enter the establishment, and pay salaries on a regular basis, so that in the future, their earnings will no longer have to be redeemed, but will be handed over in accordance with the regulations. Li Pinxian replied, when you enter the establishment, you can pay your salary regularly, but you can't buy the materials if you don't redeem them, if you don't redeem them, you won't have the enthusiasm to rob, and then they will become soldiers again.

Who knows, Xu Ping and Xu Le have no interest in whether they can be included in the formation, not only them, but Li Baicheng is not interested in either, his guns are all obtained from the Japanese, and the national military cannot replenish them, if Xu Ping does not help him get ammunition, he will soon become an infantry man with gun holes.

The engineer company is also reluctant to go to the brigade headquarters, the reason is even more far-fetched, they are only willing to work under the commander of the enemy, and if they go to other departments, they will definitely become a baggage brigade transporter, and there is no chance to play the engineer again.

In the end, it was Ling Zhuxi who set the tone in one sentence, and the organization was directly under the brigade headquarters, and the people were placed in the 1056 regiment for use, and anyone who wanted to transfer these four companies must agree to it.

In this way, four companies were formed, and the only thing that pleased the four company commanders was that the ranks of all four of them were majors, more than one level higher than the regular company commanders, and the same level as the three battalion commanders of the 1056 regiment.

The next day, the battle of the Japanese attack on the ancestral hill began again, and the time was still in the afternoon, this time, not only tanks, artillery, but also airplanes appeared in the sky. The 146th Division strengthened and sorted out the damaged fortifications of the 145th Division on the first day, but it still could not resist the aerial bombs in the sky, and the biggest difference from the attack on the first day was that this time it was no longer the Northeast Army in the Tibetan Mountains, but normal Japanese soldiers, and the biggest difference was that it was equipped with a large number of 70 mortars, which were very effective in bombardment at close range. After being pressed and fighting for two hours, the 146th Division suffered heavy losses and had to abandon its position and retreat to Guangde.

In the evening, Guangde City appeared in front of the Japanese army.

When the Japanese advance arrived in Guangde, it was already completely dark, and the Japanese army was preparing to set up camp, but they did not expect to be caught off guard by Tian Zhongyi and Zhou Shaoxuan, two independent brigades, and the Japanese army was caught off guard, and even the artillery position was not settled, so it was attacked by the Sichuan army on its own initiative.

The Sichuan army won a great victory.

The next day, the Japanese army gradually advanced, stormed Guangde, the 144th Division could not resist the enemy, Tian Zhongyi, Zhou Shaoxuan two independent brigades filled in, on the third day, the 145th Division reinforced Guangde from Guangde Airport, Rao Guohua's soldiers were divided into two routes, Tong Yi's division entered Guangde to take over the defense line, Meng Haoran's brigade went around behind the enemy, flanked the Japanese defense line, and the Japanese army was defeated and retreated.

Although the Japanese army was repulsed again, the losses of the Sichuan army were also considerable, and Meng Haoran's brigade was less than 500 people.

Early in the morning of December 1, the Japanese army attacked Guangde again, Rao Guohua went into battle with wounds, and the Tong Yi brigade defended the city, and he personally led the pistol battalion and guard team to flank the Japanese army. Rao Guohua fell to the ground in anger on the spot, and when he woke up, the guards had already carried him to the old camp area of Guangde Airport.

Liu Ruzhai is Tang Shizun's nephew, and a wicked person came to sue first in front of Shangfeng, and even said that Rao Guohua gave up the position first, and he was forced to give up the position. The group army immediately ordered Rao Guohua to hand over the 145th Division to Tong Yi for management, and immediately went to Xuancheng to report on his work and explain the loss of Guangde. After receiving the message, Rao Guohua was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he almost died again.

Guangde was lost, and the airport must no longer be surrendered to the Japanese army. Guangde Airport is a large airport carefully built by the National Government and one of the main air stations of the Air Force. "Lock three Wu, two Zhejiang", the strategic position is very important. As early as the winter of 1932, the Nationalist Government requisitioned 400 acres of land in the north of Shiligou in Dongxiang, Guangde, to build a flight field due to the needs of war preparedness. After the completion of the airport, the government sent personnel to inspect and found that the airport was too small to be used, and decided to build another one. Zhou Junnan, inspector of the Ninth Administrative Region of Anhui Province, was instructed to select a site and determine the northeast of Dengjia Village in the northern suburbs of the county. Zhou Chongyi, the county magistrate, immediately ordered the dispatch of workers, and the construction began in June 1934, and the airport was completed on December 26. There are 150,000 workers with a total area of 1,200 acres. After 8.13, Guangde Airport became the main strategic airport of the National Air Force, and made great contributions to the Songhu War of Resistance. It was not until the beginning of October that the Second Air Force Group left Guangde and moved to Nanjing Daxiaochang Airport, and Guangde Airport was idle.

Rao Guohua asked the guards and the troops left behind in the old camp to destroy the airport, not only to blow up the tower and equipment, but also to completely destroy the runway. The guards immediately went to the airfield and fired at the oil drums of the various warehouses. Suddenly gunfire erupted, flames soared, equipment burned down, and the airport was in ruins. So far, Guangde Airport has completed its historical mission.

When the guard team returned from the mission, they found that Rao Guohua had committed suicide, and there was a suicide note written to Liu Xiang, commander of the 23rd Group Army, in front of him, which read: Liu Ruzhai did not listen to the command, so that the army was defeated, and the only way to do so was to die to repay the public acquaintance and the love of the father and elder in Sichuan.

Rao Guohua died, the Sichuan army had no strength to fight again, Wu Qiwei of the Xuancheng Central Army saw that the Japanese army was strong, and immediately retreated to Huizhou, Xuancheng Langxi no longer had a general to guard, and the Japanese army smoothly went out of Nanjing along Langxi, opening up the third passage to Nanjing.

"Rao Guohua died not for the war, but for the unjust death! After we leave, you can only be left in the Anji Palace, you can only have one regiment, you are alone, and you are careful. Dude, it's not very likely that you will die in battle, the possibility of unjust death is not small, and being a man is sometimes too dull and not good, and it's not good to be too cunning. Like Rao Guohua, we all belong to the category without a backstage, and if we play well, we will be given a medal that we can't wear if we are hungry and frozen, and we are the first to sacrifice if we don't play well. Qin Zhenyuan said that he came to bid farewell to Modi, the military headquarters of the 45th Army moved to Lin'an, the 176th Division was stationed in Xiaofeng, and only the 1056th Regiment was left in Anji.

"Rao Guohua has proved his loyalty and bravery with his life, it is estimated that he will be ashamed, and he will have a beautiful funeral next! It's a pity that a good man can not only fight, but also fight. The Guangde Japanese army was repulsed twice because of the flank attack, so it is said that if the Japanese are the enemy head-on, nine times out of ten they will lose, but the flank attack can be effective, not because our soldiers are not brave enough, but because the equipment is too different, and we must take caution. Mo Di said: "Although I am the queen of the palace, but I will not defend Anji, as long as I retreat to Tianhuangping, it is estimated that less than a wing of Japanese troops will not dare to follow, retreat to Tianmu Mountain, even a wing will not dare to follow." Fighting in the mountains, the tanks and artillery of the Japanese became a burden, and even the leather shoes under their feet were not as good as the straw shoes in our Guangxi. ”

"No wonder you asked the soldiers of the 1056th regiment to weave straw shoes, it turned out that this was the idea." Qin Zhenyuan said with a smile: "It's just that I found that those straw sandals are a little big and don't fit well." ”

"It's worn over leather shoes, how can it be worn if it's not big!" Mo Di said: "In this cold winter, I don't dare to wear straw sandals barefoot. The wind in this ghost place is different from the wind in Guangxi, and the flesh is biting, and I am afraid of the cold. ”

Mo Di is afraid of the cold, and there is really someone who is not afraid of the cold, that is Li Benyi, this buddy, actually swam back to the Qiantang River in winter, and when the news came, Mo Di couldn't help but gasp. Knowing this news was because Zhou Zuhuang, the commander of the Seventh Army, made a special trip to send a telegram to Mo Di, asking him to send all the leather shoes and cotton clothes and quilts stored in the 1056th Regiment to Yu Qian, Lin'an, because the 1038th Regiment of the 171st Division Li Benyi, which had withdrawn from Hangzhou, had been reduced to relying on roasting fires to survive.

Others can ignore it, Li Benyi can't ignore it, that is the friendship that killed people together back then, and the partner who licked blood on the knife. What's more, the Guangxi government has already paid for this batch of materials, and there is news that the famous people on the Qin Cornerstone Newspaper have been allocated two acres of fertile land to each family, and a plaque has been given with four big characters on it: "Heroic heirloom".

Twelve newly acquired cars and six pre-existing trucks were all loaded with various daily necessities, and the inventory was emptied, and they set off from Anji, along Xiaofeng through Xuling to Yuqian. More than 100 people sat in two trucks, and 36 crooked handles were fixed on the front of the 18 vehicles, which were completely used to scare people, but had little practical effect. Because they were in a car, the soldiers of the spy company all brought two guns, one person with one southern fourteen, and one person with a three-eight big cover, and the firepower was so strong that I hoped that some unsightly bandits along the way would come to appetize and adjust the boredom on the road. Mo Di also followed, he hadn't seen Li Benyi for a while, and he was very worried, he really wanted to see what this guy who was winter swimming in the Qiantang River had become.

Although this highway has been running through the mountains, but it is still easy to walk, the distance is less than 100 kilometers, the car can basically reach an average speed of 20 kilometers, the mountains here are not big, not high, but very steep, the field of vision is not wide, the depth is not large, the steep small peaks stand unevenly, can not form a front line, can not form a combat surface, in such a special terrain deployment operations, left and right can neither be expanded, there is no room for depth in front and back, not suitable for large corps operations, not even a division, But it's a great place for small troops to hide and seek.

Xu Ping personally drove the car, sat in the cab with Mo Di, looking at the scenery on the side of the road, Xu Ping said with a smile: "The mountains in this place are different from Guilin, and there is no shape. ”

Mo Di said categorically: "This is a good place to kill people!" ”

Xu Ping's heart sank, and he paid attention to it, and sure enough, the boss has a unique vision, and it is super poisonous, this kind of place, if the Japanese dare to come, there is only one way to send their lives, and a special service company of their own, with the help of the terrain and geographical location, can definitely drag and kill a squadron of the Japanese army. He smiled and said, "Commander Zhang of the 172nd Division, they are fighting with the Japanese devils in Wuxing, so it is better to bring the devils here to clean up slowly." ”

"You're stupid to be a devil!" Mo Di smiled: "This kind of place, they don't dare to come." ”

The car walked slowly, and walked around the foot of the mountain, and in some places it was faster to walk shortcuts than cars, and several soldiers jumped down from the car, took shortcuts to the front, and hit more than a dozen fat mountain rats, hares, mountain boars, and pheasants along the way, threw a small half of the car, and prepared to arrive at Yu Qian at noon, and fight tooth sacrifices with the brothers of the 1038 regiment.

The place where the devil didn't go is still a good place, and compared to Wuxing Si'an, it has the feeling of a paradise. In late autumn, the red leaves and yellow leaves of the mountains decorate the mountains with extraordinarily enchanting, and some trees that have lost their leaves stretch out their skinny branches to the sky, like skinny hands, praying to God for something.

Is it true that the Japanese army will not come to this place? Mo Di shook his head and denied what he said before, the Japanese will not let go of any corner of China, they have been plotting for a long time on the continent of the East, they will not give up decades of efforts, just like the Japanese instructor said, weak China is the best fat in the eyes of the Japanese, and it is the same here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the forests are secluded, and the real gods live.

Looking at the scenery outside the window again, Mo Di opened his coat, and the engine of the car came with bursts of heat, which warmed up the small cab a lot, and the heat also aroused Mo Dou's pride, and said to Xu Ping: "No matter whether the Japanese come or not, how many come, as long as they dare to come, whether it is a brigade or a division, not one is left to eat all." It's just such a good place to bury the bones of the Japanese, a waste! ”
