Chapter 185: Reunion

After lying in bed for more than a month, I finally recovered halfway.

During this period, the celebrities and nobles came to visit one after another, which made Zheng Yong very upset. In his opinion, these people did not really want to visit themselves, but to show how much they value patriotic generals...

Zhang Xueliang also sent someone to bring some supplements such as old ginseng and told Zheng Yong that he was still from the Northeast Army and that he must go back after his injury healed.

But Zheng Yong himself knew that he had completely broken up with Zhang Xueliang, and the 11th Division was about to become the direct unit of the Central Army and the Chairman.

It’s time for the 11th Division to arrive in Nanjing. I don’t know how many of its team are left and how many brothers have died for their country.

I got up from the bed, moved my body, and walked out of the ward slowly.

When I came to the hospital garden, I was filled with doctors and nurses who greeted me enthusiastically along the way.

"Master, have you read the newspaper?" I saw Lin Weidong coming towards me from afar.

This kid was injured by a blowout when breaking through, but now he looks like he has recovered almost.

"how?"

It turned out that since the Battle of Songhu, the situation on the front line of Liuhe has been in critical condition and no more troops have been reinforced. Faced with this irreparable gap behind the entire front line, Jiang Guangnai had to order a full retreat.

As the troops retreated, the German division also made a name for itself.

According to Jiang Guangnai's order, the 5th Army used part of the hostile position in Hujiazhuang and Yang Jiaxing, and the main force retreated to the Jiading and Taicang lines. Using Jiading and Taicang City as strongholds, they sent a part of the Luodian and Liuhe to guard Luodian and Liuhe.

Zhang Zhizhong issued an order to change positions of the left wing army, ordering the 88th Division to retreat from Maqiaozhai to Jiading City, the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division to retreat from Tangqiao to Loutang Town, the 261st Brigade and the Teaching Corps to retreat from Liuhe to Taicang, the 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade to Penglang Town, the 2nd Regiment assembled in Qianmentang, and the 156th Brigade of the 78th Division also assembled in Jiading.

After receiving the order, each unit retreated on time and arrived at designated locations one after another. The 5th Army headquarters and its direct troops also arrived at Qianmentang Town.

Just as the troops were ordered to move to the new position Jiading and Taicang, the 517th Regiment of the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division carried out the most tragic battle between the 128th Songhu War with the Island Army in Loutang and Zhujiaqiao areas near Gelong Town.

The regiment was camping near Loutang from temple walks. This place was only fifteen miles away from Liuhe. The officers and soldiers of the regiment fought hard for many days, but they were still wet. Suddenly, more than a thousand island troops rushed from Liuhe. The regiment was arranged in Loutang Town, Zhujiaqiao and Sizhuqiao three outposts to resist.

After the battle started, the island army had more and more troops, and its artillery began to bombard the positions.

The cordons of these three outpost companies are three thousand meters wide, and the casualties have exceeded one-third, so their strength is quite weak. All three outpost positions are surrounded, but all the troops will not retreat when they fight to the death. The troops of the island nation will remain near Loutang in the future.

The fierce battle lasted until the next day. About 4,000 main forces of the island army arrived and began to launch a full-line attack on the 517th Regiment's position and detoured to the right wing of the regiment.

At this time, the Chinese army was stepping up fortifications and responding to the battle in a hurry. The troops were still far apart. The island army broke through the front line and rushed to the front of the 517th Regiment department on the north bank of Zhujiaqiao. The entire regiment front was in danger.

At this extremely urgent moment, the third company of the First Battalion rushed bravely and repelled the island army that broke into the position.

At this time, the number of island troops on the front line of Loutang had increased to 7,000 or 8,000, and the offensives were wave after wave. The 517th Regiment fought alone and the ammunition was exhausted. After noon, various positions were successively broken by island troops. The island troops crossed Loutang Town and occupied various nearby villages, and the troops were directly trapped in Hejia Village.

Brigade Commander Sun Yuanliang, who was commanding the battle in Gelong Town, wrote a letter in person and ordered someone to send him to the army commander Zhang Zhizhong.

The 517th Regiment is now surrounded by the island army and the regiment commander is missing. His rank is planning to die in Gelong Town. In danger, Qianmentang will be in danger. Please transfer the army commander quickly.

After receiving the report, Zhang Zhizhong called Sun Yuanliang immediately and told him that the 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade could arrive. The 517th Regiment insisted on retreating to Gelong Town after sunset and occupied the position on the river coastline.

At 16 o'clock, the 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade of Reinforced Brigade finally arrived at Gelong, and immediately controlled the last resistance line and reinforced the front line.

At this time, the 517th Regiment had reached its last moment, and the left wing of Zhujiaqiao was also broken by the island army. Regiment Commander Zhang Shixi led his officers and soldiers to fight to the death to Jiangjia Village. Under the machine gun fire of the island army, the soldiers continued to advance but not retreat. The sound of killing shocked the field and was unstoppable.

The island army could not resist the desperate attack of this unit and retreated. The danger of Loutang Town was relieved. The remnants of the 517th Regiment rushed to Waigang to meet with the 88th Division, and then passed through Kunshan to go to the new position.

In the battle of Loutang, the island army concentrated its main force to break through the middle areas of Jiading and Taicang, directly descended the railway, and cut off the retreat route of the Chinese army.

If the 517th Regiment had not fought bravely to the death, once the island army rushed to Gelong, trapped in Qianmen, and went straight off the railway, the retreat of the Fifth Army and the 19th Route Army would have been completely cut off, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

In this battle, Zhu Yaozhang, the battalion commander of the 517th Regiment, was shot seven times and died heroically. He also had fallen officers including two company commanders, six platoon commanders, and nearly a thousand soldiers were injured or killed.

Later, General Shirakawa Yoshinobu Shirakawa, the new commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, issued a ceasefire statement.

As long as the Chinese army does not take hostile actions, the island army can temporarily remain in place and stop fighting.

Jiang Guangnai also issued a ceasefire announcement later.

At present, the League of International requires the Chinese and Japanese armies to implement a ceasefire, and our army decided to accept this request. If the Japanese side does not attack our army, our army will not attack the island army...

After Lin Weidong finished talking about the situation before and after, Zheng Yong sighed softly.

Fengtian was lost, the 128th Summit Shanghai War was over, and so many outstanding soldiers were sacrificed. Where will the road to China go next?

However, it seems that this matter is not something I should care about. I am just a small division commander. The only thing I have to do is to fulfill my duties as a soldier.

"Teacher's seat."

Lin Weidong looked to the side: "I heard that our 11th Division is going to be reorganized? Is there any such thing as a German to train us?"

Seeing Zheng Yong nodding, Lin Weidong was a little unsatisfied.

"What are we doing when we train the Germans? Our 11th Division fought so badly in Fengtian. How many months have we been fighting without relying on the Germans?"

"Bad!" Zheng Yong cursed: "That was only possible to withstand Fengtian's supplies. Now we have nothing left and the team has been disabled. I heard that there are more than a thousand people who have emerged. If we don't rely on reorganization, we will be a security force at most."

During this time in the hospital, the brothers who stood out around them seemed to have signs of arrogance.

Heroes of the enemy and national heroes can be cheered everywhere.

But this is in Nanjing, not in Fengtian.

To put it bluntly, when fighting in Fengtian, entering the hall to grab the cousin, etc., my "commander" will be over as soon as he opens his eyes and closes his eyes. However, if such a thing happens in Nanjing, he will really throw away the 11th Division.

However, these people are used to being wild. Even Lin Weidong, a scholar who was so gentle when he first joined the army, became completely unrecognizable. It would take some thought to teach them how to teach them.

"Master, you have to enjoy a little light." Lin Weidong suddenly said with a smile.

"My father asked me to send me a message yesterday and asked me to go back for dinner. He also said that if it is convenient, I would like to invite the teacher to go with me. Think about it, once Major General Miracle arrives at our house, isn't there any light on his face?"

"What kind of miracle Major General?" Zheng Yong was confused by the name.

Lin Weidong widened his eyes: "You don't know this yet, but now they call you that."

Zheng Yong was ridiculous by this name.

After being stubbornly tangled by Lin Weidong for a while, Zheng Yong finally agreed to go to the Lin family with him tomorrow. If Mr. Lin and the Lin family were also very helpful to him, and with generous donations, he had to thank him in person.

Seeing that the Master agreed, Lin Weidongda was excited. Before he could speak, he suddenly saw Zheng Wengen hurried over. After seeing the Master, he looked mysterious and said with a smile.

"Master, you have to treat me to a meal. See who I brought you!"

He moved away, and Chunni slowly walked towards Zheng Yong with Nan Sheng.

"elder brother."

When I saw Zheng Yong again, I said one word, and tears could no longer control myself and flowed down the corners of Chunni's eyes.

Brother Zheng Yong was not dead, Brother Zheng Yong was not dead, he knew he would not die.

"Godfather!"

Nansheng shouted happily, and then jumped to Zheng Yong's embrace.

The wound that was healing was hit and hurt, but Zheng Yong seemed to feel it at all.

Reunited, finally reunited again.

Brothers, family...

"Don't cry." Zheng Yong smiled and wiped Chunni away her tears. Seeing so many people looking at her, Chunni smiled shyly.

Finally reunited again, what is more important than this?
