Chapter 214: Bloody Battle at Shuikou
Wang Wanling, the commander of the 12th Brigade of the Fourth Division, saw that Leng Xin had shot a regiment commander under him, and announced the implementation of the method of joining revolutionary soldiers.
Wang Wanling, the word Songya, is also a graduate of the first phase of Huangpu! After graduation, he successively served as the platoon commander of the Whampoa Military Academy, the platoon and company commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the 1st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 9th Regiment of the 3rd Division. In 1930, he was the colonel of the 20th Regiment of the 10th Brigade of the 4th Division, and was just promoted to the commander of the 12th Brigade.
Wang Wanling wore a steel helmet and held a flower mechanism in one hand. Walking along the crooked trench towards the forward position, there were constant explosions around him, and the figure of fighter planes whizzing by in the sky from time to time. Wang Wanling's face was gloomy and he didn't care.
Soon Wang Wanling came to the forward position, looking at the shivering soldiers hiding in the trenches, Wang Wanling couldn't help but look up at the sky, a silver-white fighter roared by, looking in the direction where the fighter flew from, a huge pillar of smoke rose into the sky, Wang Wanling knew that it was his masterpiece. "! What are those bastards in the Air Force for! Just let the plane of the rebel army on Lao Tzu's head, don't they care? "Although Wang Wanling knows that the Central Army Air Force in Fujian has been completely wiped out, there are still fighters elsewhere! For such a long time, the air forces in other places did not have a single aircraft to support the Fujian battlefield, which was what made Wang Wanling really angry. What Wang Wanling didn't know was that the Central Army Air Force, which had been annihilated in Fujian, was already the main force of the Central Army Air Force, and although there were reluctantly able to draw out a batch of fighters from other places, Lao Jiang had also sent planes to reinforce Fuzhou, but these planes had just arrived in Fujian, and they happened to be discovered by reconnaissance planes of the Wuyishan Air Force. After seeing the power of the 19th Route Army Air Force, Lao Jiang no longer dared to risk his precious air force.
Finally, the fighter planes in the sky poured out the ammunition they carried, flapped their wings, and swaggered away. At this time, the anger in Wang Wanling's heart was irrepressible, and as soon as the enemy's plane left, he decisively ordered the troops to organize and prepare to attack, "Brothers! We have been surrounded by the rebel army, and now the only way to survive is to break through the enemy's encirclement and rush to Fuzhou to join Commander Zhang's troops. The division once again reaffirmed the method of sitting in a row for revolutionary soldiers, and there is no doubt that they will die if they retreat, and there is still a glimmer of life in the attack! Now I will personally lead you to charge and break through the defense line of the rebel army, this is our only way to live! If you want to live, rush with Lao Tzu! Defeat the rebel army and receive a reward for meritorious service! Rush! Wang Wanling let out an angry roar and then rushed out of the trench.
The officers and men of the 12th Brigade, inspired by the brigade commander Wang Wanling, suddenly let out a roar and rushed to the enemy's position without hesitation. At this time, the officers and men of the 12th Brigade just wanted to find a way to live, and in order to survive, they broke out with the greatest combat effectiveness, and the officers and men of the Fifth Division of Zhang Junsong's division received Zhang Junsong's order to defend to the death, and desperately resisted the offensive of the Central Army wave after wave.
Whatism? What revolution? has long been left behind by the officers and soldiers on both sides, and now all they are thinking about is how to survive this damn war, the huge threat of death has stimulated the maximum potential in people's bodies, and everyone is fighting desperately, desperately killing the enemy in front of them, desperately living! Life on the battlefield is so fragile, and every minute and every second there are countless young lives, withering and withering like flowers! One person fell, and more people from behind desperately came up.
"Kill!" After knocking out one of the enemy's firepower points, Wang Wanling once again stood up desperately and rushed forward with a roar. But just after a dozen paces, the enemy's machine gun stopped for more than a dozen seconds before roaring again. A fiery tongue of fire swept mercilessly.
"Puff puff!" A few muffled sounds sounded in Wang Wanling's ears, and several strands of blood spurted out of Wang Wanling's chest instantly, and his body was stagnant! The bubbling blood instantly drained the last trace of strength on Wang Wanling's body. Wang Wanling was unwilling to glance at the enemy position in front. His eyes suddenly softened, he closed his eyes peacefully, and slowly fell down. "Relief! Finally liberated! This was Wang Wanling's last trace of consciousness. Huangpu was born in the first phase, and Wang Wanling, the commander of the 12th Brigade of the Fourth Division of the Central Army, died in battle!
It's close! It's getting closer! It's getting closer and closer to the enemy's position! Leng Xin looked at the battlefield in front of him and shouted excitedly. Just when Leng Xin thought that he would be able to rush to the enemy's position immediately, a row of shells suddenly shot out from the enemy's position, and in the violent explosion, the officers and men of the Fourth Division fell one by one, and the attacking troops were instantly split into two halves. The sound of machine guns on the enemy's position became more violent, and the dense rain of bullets wantonly harvested the young lives of the officers and men of the Fourth Division. In the end, the attacking troops could not resist and were completely defeated.
"! What a failure! Leng Xin still couldn't stop scolding.
"Report! Wang Wanling, the commander of the 12th Brigade, personally led the charge and died bravely! At this time, a division staff officer came over and reported loudly.
Leng Xin's body shook violently, and his right hand was pressed on the table, barely steady. Leng Xin closed her eyes in pain, and suddenly remembered that two days ago, Wang Wanling had told herself that if she unfortunately died in battle, she hoped that Leng Xin would take care of her family for the sake of her old classmates. Leng Xin sighed and slowly spit out a sentence, "Songya, go with confidence!" I'll take care of your family! ”
Entrusting Leng Xin to take care of his family, I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing for Wang Wanling, who has died in battle. Historically, in January 1943, Leng Xin was dismissed from the post of member of the Jiangsu Provincial Political Axe Committee and the director of the Jiangnan Administration. The reason is that his classmate Li Shouwei led the troops to northern Jiangsu, and asked Leng Xin to take care of his family before leaving, but Li Shouwei was killed in the Battle of Huangqiao, and his wife Ma Bangzhen was also accepted by Leng Xin. This incident obviously took advantage of the danger of others, so it aroused the public indignation of the students, and they wrote letters to the president, Chairman Jiang, to complain, and Mr. Jiang approved six words: "Shameless! Never hired. But in the end, Leng Xin found He Yingqin, He Yingqin valued Leng Xin very much, so Leng Xin was used again, and after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in the surrender ceremony of Zhijiang as the deputy chief of staff of the Army Headquarters, but at such a ceremony that will forever be recorded in history, Leng Xin was ridiculed by reporters as "living like a monkey!" ”。
Leng Xin opened his eyes, his eyes continued to shoot angry fires, and said coldly, "Keep attacking!" Be sure to break through the defense line of the rebel army! ”
The Fourth Division is not feeling well now, and Zhang Junsong in Shuikou is also uncomfortable. Now Zhang Junsong has only five or six thousand men in Shuikou, but he has to face the desperate onslaught of tens of thousands of central troops, and in just half a day's battle, he has lost thousands of people, and of course the losses of the Fourth Division are even greater. Even so, Zhang Junsong could not guarantee that he would be able to hold the Shuikou defense line under the enemy's desperate attack.
"Why don't you let the 10th Division attack!" Qiu Guozhen persuaded in a low voice.
"Where is Sun Yuanliang?" Zhang Junsong asked with a frown.
"According to the intelligence from the Wuyi Mountain Reading Master, they have just arrived near Youxikou!" Qiu Guozhen replied.
"So slow?" Zhang Junsong asked suspiciously.
"Humph! It is estimated that Sun Yuanliang did it on purpose, so that Leng Xin could fight with us first, and then he came over to pick up the cheap! The corners of Qiu Guozhen's mouth showed a sneer of disdain.
Zhang Junsong nodded and said, "Our losses are great, Leng Xin's losses are even greater, the current Fourth Division is already at the end of the crossbow, as long as we work harder, we can still stop them!" According to the original plan, Sun Yuanliang's 88th Division was defeated first. This is my headmaster's Imperial Guards, and only when it is defeated, the headmaster will feel distressed, and he will honestly sit down and talk to us. ”
"Alright then!" Seeing that Zhang Junsong was so confident, Qiu Guozhen couldn't say anything.
Zhang Junsong looked at the map in front of him and decisively ordered, "Order the 10th Division to march in the direction of Xikou Village immediately, and you must stop the 88th Division here and destroy them!" In addition, immediately send a telegram to Meng Bo, and ask him to order the Wuyi Mountain Reading Master to cooperate with us to annihilate Sun Yuanliang's department! ”
"Yes!" Qiu Guozhen responded solemnly, and then turned to leave.
Jin Zhao soon received a telegram from Zhang Junsong, and immediately issued an order to the Wuyishan Reading Division to fully cooperate with the Fifth Army's actions, and in order to facilitate command, he ordered the troops of the Wuyishan Reading Division pursuing the 88th Division to temporarily be under the command of Zhang Junsong.
In his previous life, Jin Zhao had heard of Wei Lihuang's name and knew that Wei Lihuang was a generation of famous generals and was known as a tiger general. Jin Zhao could fully imagine how tragic the battle in northern Fujian was at this time.
As soon as the battle started, Jin Zhao was pondering the possible surname of defeating Wei Lihuang. Chen Cheng's reinforcements were too far away to quench their thirst, and there were Wuyi Mountain Reading Divisions blocking them along the way, and by the time they arrived at the battlefield, the battle would have already ended. The reinforcements sent by Zhang Zhizhong came in time, but Zhang Zhizhong was afraid that Jin Zhao would attack Fuzhou, so he only sent a brigade to meet Wei Lihuang, and Zhang Junsong also sent a brigade to block it, although the strength was weaker than the central army, but it should not be a problem to block for two or three days. Jin Zhao always felt as if he was missing something, and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the forces that could affect this battle.
Jin Zhao's gaze kept moving from the map, from the northwest of Fujian, along the Min River to Fuzhou. moved from the northern Fujian region to the central Fujian region, and finally Jin Zhao's eyes fell on one place, that is, Youxi. Youxi is just a small county town, there is nothing unusual, but this is indeed the territory of the local warlord Lu Xingbang and the Lu Xingrong brothers, Jin Zhao finally knew what he was missing, and he only focused on the central army before, but forgot that there was still a hungry wolf lying here!
