The cadre was stunned when he heard Yang Zhen's words, but he was still a little unconvinced and said: "Political Commissar, I heard that you are also a cadre with a college background. You are also a top student at Peking University. You can go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese. Why do we No. You can be prepared to sacrifice at any time. Why can't we."
Unconvinced by this cadre, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "My situation was special. I can't compare with you. The situation at that time is also incomparable with now. When we cross the river, I will take into account your situation. You will be allowed to leave the army after proper training. But that is not possible now."
"There are loyal bones everywhere in Qingshan. Why bury the bones in a graveyard? Now we have no way to march with the body. We went to a few people to bury him. I wanted to make a mark so that we can build a martyrs cemetery in the future so that we can find it easily." The burial is complete. Set off immediately. Send someone to take care of his wife."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the military cadres surrounding him and said: "Don't you want to avenge Comrade Ren Guang? That's good. Let's start with executing the order now. Don't forget, although you are military personnel .But we are all soldiers. To be a good soldier, you must first learn to obey orders and take action. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
Several people around heard Yang Zhen's order and did not dare to say anything. A few people dug a hole on the mountain ridge and buried the person in it. The person here had just been buried. Li Mingbo also found out about it. What happened to Yamashita's shot? The first update on Yamashita's recruits from a search company of the 52nd Division. Because he was a little nervous on the battlefield for the first time. His hand kept pulling the trigger and the gun's safety was not turned off.
But I didn't expect that. I just looked at the mountains on both sides and didn't pay attention to my feet. I was thrown by a piece of wood. When I fell, I couldn't help but pull the trigger of the official rifle in my hand that had no safety and was full of bullets. One shot. It hit the mountain ridge to the east.
As a result, there was no target at all. Instead, it hit Ren Guang, who was standing, on the neck. This recruit, who had been captured for less than a month and had not fired five bullets in total, probably didn't know yet that it was his. A confused shot. China lost a musician. Updated as soon as possible
After the gunshots were fired, the officers of the 52nd Division who led the team hurriedly evacuated because their target had been exposed and they were afraid of being surrounded and annihilated here. The recruit fell behind the team and was easily captured by Li Mingbo. If it weren't for Yang Zhen Stop it. This unlucky recruit was probably killed by the excited military personnel at that time.
After confirming that the people at the foot of the mountain had left, Yang Zhen judged from the distance from Xingtan and the surrounding situation that there should not be any other enemies behind this enemy force. He made a quick decision and immediately took the time to lead the military headquarters. The personnel rushed to Xingtan to join the army commander at a rapid march.
When Yang Zhen led the military headquarters to Xingtan, he saw that the tense nerves of the military commander who had already arrived relaxed a little. Looking at the military personnel led by Yang Zhen, the military commander relaxed. He said in a tone of voice: "Political Commissar, you are finally here. If you still can't make it, I will send troops to find you. You have walked for more than four hours on this mountain road of less than ten kilometers."
Yang Zhen smiled indifferently at the commander's greetings. Although there were dangers along the way, it was nothing compared to the planes above and the cavalry pursuit after he led his team to break through from Harbin.
The only difference is that I now have more non-combatants with me.
The situation at that time was even worse than now. This time there were more non-combatants. But at that time the army was still in a state of chaos. There was no food or ammunition. There were still a lot of wounded. Please come to more chapters faster. Even go to
I don’t even know which direction to go in. The surrounding enemy situation is even more dark.
This time, although the military headquarters only has one guard company and many non-combatants, it is only a few miles away from the main force on the mountain road. If you decide to send troops back for reinforcements, the reinforcements can arrive within an hour. And the enemy
The majority of the army was still far away. At most, it was just a small group of troops harassing us. The situation at that time was almost completely different.
However, the situation was urgent. Yang Zhen did not want to talk too much to the commander about what happened during the march. After only a brief greeting, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said to the commander: "Commander, how is the battle situation now?
Our army has not captured Xingtan. The situation is now very unfavorable to us. Seven divisions from the entire Third Theater Zone have already pressed against us from all sides."
"If we fail to capture Xingtan, we will be surrounded by three war zones in a small area on the west bank of the Huihe River and east of Piling. In other words, we will be trapped in a dead end. We will be attacked from both sides. Our troops and firepower will all be at a disadvantage. Once we are surrounded,
.It will be basically impossible for us to break through as an establishment."
After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he saw a rare hint of urgency on Yang Zhen's face. The army commander said: "Political Commissar, we have now captured the entire Xingtan. We have suppressed the enemy defenders in Xingtan on several hills south of Xingtan.
.It can be said that the passage to the east has been opened. However, the enemy troops stationed south of Xingtan can block the passage with artillery fire."
"The hills south of Xingtan are steep. Our army lacks experience in mountainous attacks. We have suffered heavy casualties in several assaults. We are now in a stalemate with them. However, the enemy forces in Sanxi tried to reinforce Xingtan several times, but we were repulsed.
In addition, Yizong is attacking in the direction of Sanxi, but the progress is not ideal."
"The Forty Division is an adaptation of the former Lianghuai Tax Police Corps of the Ministry of Finance. It used to be all American-style equipment. After the Anti-Japanese War in the past few years, although the equipment and training have been severely depleted, it is not as good as the Fifty-second Division.
The Central Army is elite. But it is much better than the 144th Division and the New 7th Division.
"The battalion has heavy machine guns and 60 mortars. The regiment has 82 mortars. The first light machine guns to be updated are mainly Czech-style light machine guns. Basically, there can be one for each squad. The ammunition is relatively sufficient.
In addition, the division also has an eight-gun mountain artillery battalion that is rare in other units. Although the mountain artillery battalion was blown up by us, they also have a flat-firing artillery battery with four Italian-made 47-gun flat-firing guns."
"Even the following are all Belgian-made rifles and German Mauser rifles imported from the factory. There are also some medium and formal rifles. They are even equipped with some imported American portable machine guns. Their equipment is much better than ours. Now
And it occupies a favorable terrain."
"Although there is currently only one and a half battalions on the hilltop south of Xingtan. However, they have deployed two 82 mortars and three heavy machine guns. The first update will include two 60mm mortars and a
The four-seven level artillery. It occupies a favorable terrain from a high position. It can effectively block the passage from Xingtan to the outside world with just its firepower."
After Yang Zhen looked at the map, he raised his head and said to the commander: "At least we can't fight in the mountainous area. Even if we win, the price will be quite high. Moreover, other enemy forces around us are advancing very fast. There is not much time left for us. Every minute is very precious to us now."
"Our current task is not to completely eliminate or defeat the 40th Division. It is to get rid of the current danger of being encircled. We cannot let a battalion and a half of enemy troops get entangled here. As long as the passage is opened, I will be updated as soon as possible. I don’t think we have to take down those hills in the south.”
"Fire blockade. Two mortars plus a combat artillery. How much fire blockade capability can there be? The light machine gun cannot hit. The heavy machine gun has such a long range. Even if it comes, the threat is zero. We forcefully pass. There is still no problem with the enemy's so-called fire blockade."
"Rather than pay heavy casualties and forcefully capture these hills, it is better to let the troops in front not attack and watch him, but to cover the main force and quickly pass through Xingtan. It is night now. Although their long-range artillery fire can hit Xingtan. The accuracy is much worse. Even if we force our way through, we will have to pay a certain price, but the price will be much smaller than the price we pay by force."
"If the commander thinks that these guns on the hilltop in the south pose too great a threat to our army, then it is better to do this. The 90mm mortar I brought here has greater range and lethality than the nationally-made 82 it is equipped with. Mortars. When the military headquarters and follow-up troops pass by, we will concentrate the artillery, provide fire cover, and engage in an artillery battle with them. Even if we cannot knock out these few of their cannons, we will at least make them wary and dare not use all their strength. To go."
"At the same time, order the military headquarters and directly affiliated teams to pass through Xingtan and cross the Huihe River as quickly as possible. And urge Zhou Guisheng, Feng Dafei and others to speed up and quickly move closer to Xingtan. At the same time, telegraph the first column not to continue to the direction of Sanxi. Intersperse. Concentrate all forces. Attack and advance toward Donglintan and Laokengkou lines."
"When we moved closer from Piling to Xingtan, we encountered small groups of troops from the 52nd Division several times. It seems that the strength of the Laoshan Regiment on the front line of Bangshan is still too thin. The number of enemy troops that can be contained is limited. I Since there is little point in leaving the Third Regiment in place to block the attack, it would be better to let it retreat along the road from the corridor bridge to Sanxi and resist the attacks of the 52nd Division step by step."
"The 52nd Division is the Central Army. Although it is well-equipped, it is not good at night fighting. Especially its ability to fight at night in the mountains is much worse than ours. This means that they will not launch a large-scale attack tonight. We can use night fighting to offset the disadvantages of their equipment. Advantage. Letting the third regiment fight hard on the front line of Bangshan will not do us any good except to contain one of our regiments and weaken our army's strength."
At this point, Yang Zhen paused and said: "Commander, now Zhao Lingbo has rebelled. Our army's original plan to penetrate directly into the Jingde Tianmu Mountains through Maolin has been completely exposed. The enemy's 62nd Division was transferred from western Zhejiang. We are rushing to Jingde on a starry night. We will be there by tomorrow evening at the latest. Our army's route south to Jingde has actually been blocked."
"I see it this way. After we crossed the Huihe River, did we turn around and march in the same direction as the original plan? Instead, we turned around and headed directly north, passing through Yejiakeng and heading straight into the territory of Ningguo. In order to eat up our southern Anhui troops, the Third Theater . Almost all the main forces of the 52nd Division stationed in this direction were transferred eastward. Its rear defense is now extremely empty."
"The 52nd Division's rear defense is empty. Now is an extremely rare opportunity for us. If we can seize the opportunity, we can twist all the troops into a powerful fist, concentrate our firepower and troops, and move toward the northeast with all our strength. Direction. It can be highlighted in the shortest time."
