Gu Mingchang is a typical student soldier. One of the most distinctive characteristics of this type of soldier is that they pay great attention to their image. They never use swear words in their speech. Those who never use swear words start to curse. This shows that Gu Mingchang's heart is The resentment is so strong,
Zhang Yantian also wanted to scold his mother. He had already paid too much for the Second Great Wall War of Resistance. Originally, the sacrifice was worth it. As long as the Japanese were eliminated, he would die, and that would be a glorious death. Great, will definitely leave a heavy mark in the history books in the future, but now, although it is still unclear what kind of tricks the Nanjing man did, one thing is clear: there are no reinforcements, and the student army, especially them This part of the sniper force became a lone force.
He found a cigarette from his body, lit it, and took a deep breath. Like Ouyang Yun, Zhang Yantian is also an experienced smoker, and the cigarette he smokes now was airdropped along with ammunition and supplies during the day. Zhang Yantian did not expect that there is such a luxury as tobacco. From this detail, we can also see how rich the military academy is and how good the welfare of the military academy officers and soldiers is. If we think about it in depth, , no wonder the one in Nanjing chose this time to crusade against the rebellion,
After taking a puff of cigarette, Zhang Yantian felt much clearer. He asked the soldier who brought Wang Moushu over: "Little brother, how many people are here in total."
The soldier said: "Ten people said they came to see you, but because we couldn't confirm their identities, we only asked him to come up alone."
Zhang Yantian nodded and turned to Gu Mingchang and said, "I think we should first try to get more detailed information about what Nanjing wants to do, and what is the current position of the 29th Army and the 57th Army."
Gu Mingchang glanced at Diao Yide with a wry smile and said, "It's not necessary. If what I expected is correct, Wang Moushu should know the details. As for the others, they must be acting as bodyguards. Brother Zhang, for our army, I have an idea for the next step."
Zhang Yantian thought it made sense and said, "You say it."
After coughing twice and calming down, Gu Mingchang said: "The first thing that can be confirmed is that the reinforcements we were expecting are unlikely to appear, which means that the encirclement and annihilation battle at Bagua Pass has failed, and our sniper attack has also failed. It has lost its meaning. If Wang Moushu has not been bribed by the Japanese, then the Nanjing government must have a series of actions against our army. Brother Zhang, I am not worried about our area now. What I am most worried about is the military seat. If I were in Nanjing The decision-maker, then, the first person to deal with must be the Army Seat. It is easy to hide from open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. The Army Seat is not surrounded by direct descendants of the army. I..." Before he could finish his words, he coughed violently,
Hearing the sound and knowing the elegant meaning, Zhang Yantian continued: "Do you want to inform the other party?"
"yes."
"The difficulty is not small. There are tens of thousands of Japs between us. Judging from the behavior of the little Japs in the past few days, they must know something. If I were Xiangyue Qingji, I would definitely take advantage of this. Chance."
"The difficulty is indeed not small. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will do it. Brother Zhang, I would like to ask you for a favor."
Gu Mingchang spoke politely, but Zhang Yantian sounded unhappy. He glared at him and said, "It doesn't matter whether you can help or not. We are all grasshoppers tied to a rope. Tell us what you are going to do. Our second column All your brothers listen to you."
Gu Mingchang smiled and said: "I would like to ask you to launch a feint attack to cover Diao Yi so that they can break through the Japanese defense line. Then, you retreat first, and our brothers from the 9th Regiment will be responsible for covering it."
Zhang Yantian burst out laughing, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and said, "Guy, who do you think I am, Mr. Zhang, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" He looked at the few people around him. He glanced at the brothers in the Column and said: "In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, our Second Column of Special Police is indeed inferior to you. But in the past few days, have we ever had a deserter? Brothers of the Second Column, you said, we will abandon Brother, are you running away alone?"
Several people in the second column shouted in unison: "No." After shouting, their eyes that had already lost their energy began to sparkle with a light,
Gu Mingchang's eyes were a little hot, and he said to Diao Yide: "Help me up." After standing up with the latter's help, he stood up straight with difficulty, and gave a solemn military salute to Zhang Yantian and others, as loud as possible. Said: "Brigadier Zhang, thanks to the respect of the brothers, from now on, we are really a family. Okay, one family will not speak the same language as the other family, then I will start assigning tasks."
Zhang Yantian laughed and said: "This is so refreshing. You said that everyone, including me, will be under your command from now on."
Under the arrangement of Gu Mingchang, the members of the team responsible for the breakthrough were first selected. Diao Yide served as the team leader. There were seventeen members in total, eleven of whom were from the original reconnaissance company where Diao Yide served as the company commander, and the others They all came from the Second Column of the Special Police, including Zhang Yantian's adjutant Liang Zuosheng, and then the team responsible for the feint attack. In order to appear as realistic as possible, all those who were not injured on Bagua Pass were incorporated into this team, and Zhang Yantian personally commanded the rest. The lightly wounded were commanded by Gu Mingchang, who was responsible for supplying ammunition and rescuing the wounded. Gu and Zhang made an agreement with Diao Yide that once Diao Yide successfully formed a breakthrough, they would launch three illumination bombs at the same time. As long as they saw the illumination bombs, Bagua Pass The troops on top began to retreat,
After consultation, Gu and Zhang decided to set the feint attack time at one o'clock in the morning. Shortly after they set the feint attack time, suddenly, the sound of gunfire came from about five kilometers northeast of Bagua Pass. The section of the Great Wall there , because the mountain is not too steep, in order to prevent the Japanese army from forming a breakthrough from there, Gu Mingchang arranged for a company to defend it. After these days of fighting, that company now only has one platoon left. Fortunately, the terrain there is It is not conducive to the movement of large corps, so although the manpower is sharply reduced, it can still hold on.
After Gu Mingchang arranged the assault mission, he immediately sent people to notify the company, asking them to seize the opportunity to retreat with the large army. Seeing the fighting starting there at this time, it must be a night attack by the Japanese army, and he couldn't help but worry that the brothers there could Unable to hold it back, he said to Zhang Yantian: "There is a platoon of men and horses at Yanzikou right now. Do we need to send some people there for reinforcements?"
Zhang Yantian shook his head: "We don't have many manpower here. If the little devils also carry out a night attack here in the first half of the night, a group of brothers will definitely be injured and killed. If they are diverted, I'm afraid that the feint attack in the second half of the night will not be able to be carried out, Yanzi The terrain at the entrance is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as they have enough ammunition, it shouldn't be a problem. In this case, ask a few people to send some ammunition and bring more grenades."
Since ancient times, sniper battles against superior enemies have always been the most difficult to fight. The ones defending Yanzikou are a company of the Second Column of the Special Police. Zhang Yantian should care about them more than Gu Mingchang. However, due to the circumstances, he now does not care about the flesh and blood. It hurts,
From the moment Yu Xuezhong's letter was handed over to Gu Mingchang, he had truly become a member of the Xuebing Army. It was also from this moment on that his fate was linked to Ouyang Yun's. In doing so, he sacrificed his ego for the sake of the overall situation.
Only a few minutes later, the soldiers responsible for transporting ammunition to Yanzikou left Bagua Pass. On the position outside the Great Wall south of Bagua Pass, gunfire rang out. As expected, the Japs also launched a night attack here.
Gu Mingchang was seriously injured. Even if he wanted to take command personally, he could not do anything at this time. Therefore, Zhang Yantian just nodded to him and ran out with a few guards.
Outside the Bagua Pass, in front of the last trench still in the hands of the Xuebing Army, under the light of the bonfire set off after the explosion of the artillery shells, densely packed Japs lined up in skirmish lines to touch, and the bayonets on the front of the 38 cover flashed with cold light from time to time. , Zhang Yantian trotted through the traffic trench and ran into the trench. Outside the trench, the surviving officers and soldiers of the 3rd Brigade and 9th Regiment of the 1st Xue Division and the 2nd Column of the Special Police held their guns silently, staring coldly ahead, with their ears raised, only Waiting for the commander to give the order to fire,
The Japanese army is not good at night fighting, so the most brutal battles in Bagua Pass took place during the day. But tonight was destined to be a special day. The Japanese adopted a desperate posture and sent almost a full brigade in the first attack.
Some people noticed Zhang Yantian's arrival, and as someone shouted: "Brigade." "Sir." "General." Then, the soldiers' eyes turned over one after another, and they saw that it was indeed Chief Zhang, the highest officer of the Second Column of the Special Police. , many soldiers felt more at ease, and their hands holding the guns became more stable.
Zhang Yantian walked all the way to the middle of the trench. He patted the brother on the shoulder and took a deep look at the brother. After standing still, he looked around and shouted: "Brothers, Commander Ouyang just asked us to We held on for two days, but how many days have we held on now? Five days. Although we have sacrificed a lot of brothers, how many Japs have we killed? Look at the corpses on the battlefield. Most of them are Japs. Yes, brothers, you are amazing, well, I see some people are starting to be proud, then I have to criticize you, brothers, it’s not time to be proud yet, don’t you know, our junior officer, that is, Ouyang Jun Commander, back then he and Brother Chu Tiange were able to kill more than two hundred Japs at once..."
Anyone who is familiar with Zhang Yantian knows that this Northeastern man is not a talkative person. However, he behaves like this now because he was influenced by Gu Mingchang and saw with his own eyes the effectiveness of ideological and political work. Due to the changes that had been made, Gu Mingchang was injured and could not go to the front line, so he naturally made up for his homework.
