Chapter 5 The war begins, and the military division becomes an army (twenty-six)
On the Haijiazhuang front line, the battle has been very fierce.
When the platoon used by Gao Chao to interfere with the operations of the Japanese engineers successfully suppressed the Japanese engineers, Da Tian immediately notified Gao Shujiaichi behind him. The latter immediately went to the front line in person and decided to solve this branch as quickly as possible. small army of men,
The platoon leader of the platoon left behind by the Gaochao Company was Zhang Youyun. Zhang Youyun had already joined the Northwest Army before the Central Plains War. He was considered an old soldier. He followed Zhang Zizhong all the way and made many military exploits. He was just because he couldn't read Chinese characters. One of them couldn't even write his own name, so he could only hold the position of platoon leader. Gao Miao specifically asked his platoon to stay because Zhang Youyun just got married last month, and the position they stopped to guard was far away from the headquarters. The first line of defense is already quite close. With the help of the brothers behind, this platoon is undoubtedly the most likely to survive.
Gao Ming had good intentions, but he underestimated Zhang Youyun's determination to fight to the death.
The mission Gao Ming assigned to Zhang Youyun was just to attract the attention of the Japs, cause a certain amount of confusion to the enemy, and pave the way for his next battle plan. In this way, while leaving the only two grenade launchers to them, Under such circumstances, Zhang Youyun's platoon only needs to fire cold guns, fire small cannons (note: grenades are also called small cannons in North China folk), and throw grenades.
Zhang Youyun didn't do this. When Gao Chao and others had just entered the tunnel, the nearly forty-year-old man took out his cigarettes, quickly threw one to everyone, lit his own and held it deeply in his mouth. Taking a deep breath, he said: "Brothers, do you see that the company commander is taking care of us? However, as an old brother of a company, he has been eating from the same pot for several years. Brothers, they are all fighting. If we die, will we be embarrassed to live alone?"
The soldiers remained silent. They smoked heavily and looked at their platoon leader quietly. There was something like a fire burning in their eyes. That was their answer and determination.
"Brothers, we lost a scar no bigger than a bowl. When we arrived in the underworld, King Yama asked us how we died. How should we answer? I died fighting the Japanese!"
"Platoon leader, I won't say any more. Just look at the performance of the brothers. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Lin Gua stood up and said that he was the deputy platoon leader, although he had only been partnered with Zhang Wenyun for more than two months. , but we have become irreversible,
Speaking of which, it was because Zhang Wenyun didn't know a single word that his deputy platoon leader had climbed on top of him now. But fortunately, no matter who they were, they were very considerate to their old platoon leader. Respectfully,
"Then let's do it." Zhang Wenyun threw the cigarette that almost burned his fingers to the ground, then raised his Hanyang-made pole and took the lead and ran towards the ruins he had chosen long ago.
Lin Gua paused, and when the soldiers were passing by, he took the opportunity to grab Guo Xiangguo, the squad leader of the first squad, and whispered in his ear: "Guoxiang, keep an eye on the platoon leader, anyone in our platoon can do it." He alone can't die. We are all bachelors. If we die, we will die, but he has a wife."
Guo Guoxiang nodded and left in a muffled voice.
"When it's critical, just order it." Lin Gua shouted behind him,
Guo Guoxiang nodded again. Guo Guoxiang was born in a martial arts family and knew acupuncture skills. Lin Gua’s intention was to let him tap Zhang Wenyun at the critical moment to save him. Although he and Zhang Wenyun had partnered for a short time, they were not interested in his immediate superior. His temper and personality have been figured out. In this case, even if Mr. Zhang asks him to retreat, he will not do so. In this case, he can only use force.
Since the 29th Army stationed in Pingjin, after Song Zheyuan and Xiong Bin, the representative of Lao Chiang Kai-shek, reached a tacit agreement, the 29th Army exchanged shotguns for cannons. Now no one uses Hanyang-made cannons. Before that, Hanyang-made cannons were relatively ineffective for the soldiers of the 38th Division. "High-end" weapons, too, are much more high-end than the old sleeves made in Hanyang.
When Zhang Wenyun first got this Hanyang-made weapon, he envied many of his older brothers. Now, when the 38th Division has only this Hanyang-made weapon left, even though everyone from the brigade commander Huang Weigang to the battalion commander Guangyuan Wendu persuaded Zhang Wenyun to replace this old and broken gun, but Zhang Wenyun was reluctant to part with it. Under his careful protection, this ten-year-old Hanyang gun not only showed no signs of decrepitude, but also made it possible to survive. It has appeared for its owner in various levels of shooting competitions. This shows how powerful Zhang Wenyun's marksmanship is.
When the entire platoon arrived at the designated position, Lin Gua pinched his watch and said: "It's time." As usual, Zhang Wenyun fired the first shot of the entire platoon.
There was a "bang" gunshot, and a little Jaap holding a detector fell down. Then, the entire platoon fired light and heavy firepower at the same time. The two grenade launchers made a dull "bang bang" sound. Two grenades were fired first. The grenade flew into the ranks of the little devils,
The violent explosion caused panic in the Japanese engineering troops. Then, the Japanese tanks began to fire in this direction, while the Japanese infantry lay on the ground. Amidst the screams of "kill me" from the lower-level officers, they fired light and heavy firepower. began to fight back violently,
Another shot killed a Japanese engineer who didn't have time to bury his head. Zhang Wenyun smacked his lips and said, "Move." Ignoring the stray bullets and shells flying above his head, he lowered his head and looked towards a hiding place that he had already targeted. run,
One shot and another place. Just like that, before Gao Shujiayi came to the front line, Zhang Wenyun and his thirty-three men were hiding and cat-like shuttles among the ruins of Haijiazhuang, looking for opportunities to harvest the lives of the little devils. At the same time, the entire front-line Jaap troops were harassed into a mess, which seriously affected the Jaap officers' judgment.
As soon as Gao Shujia rushed to the front line, he saw through the telescope that the Chinese troops who had messed up his own troops had only a few dozen people. He immediately became furious. He first severely reprimanded the two captains, and then personally deployed and adjusted the troops, deciding Get rid of these dozens of cunning Chinese people as quickly as possible, and then break through the first defensive position of the 38th Division before Doihara and the large forces arrive.
The reason why Gao Shujiayi was so eager to perform was actually because he acted too cowardly in the battle with the military apprentice Wen An, and after self-reflection afterward, he came to the conclusion that the failure of the headquarters was ultimately due to the failure to do so in one go. Investing heavy troops to deal a fatal blow to the student division, in this way, gave the opponent a chance to breathe, thus creating a protracted war. For the defender, a protracted war is undoubtedly what they want.
