Chapter 275: Tenacious Resistance(1/2)
Tomorrow, I must go and talk to my boss about the salary increase, otherwise I will resign!
However, the boss goes on a business trip the next day, so you have to continue your work and prepare to discuss the salary increase when the boss comes back.
But while you are waiting for your boss to come back these days, a major accident occurs at work. Of course, there is no need to talk about a salary increase. It is hard to say whether you can keep your current job.
This is something that many people will encounter in real life.
A perfectly calculated plan is often ruined by a small problem.
Even, this little question will change your life's destiny!
This is the case with Hiroo Watanabe.
He discovered something was wrong with the "Sakuragi Hanamichi".
He must report to Hosoki Shige immediately.
"Major Watanabe, the agency chief is not here. He has gone to the Xuanshima Regiment."
"knew."
When Hiro Watanabe hurried to the base of the Xuandao Regiment and asked for an audience, the reply he received was:
"Your Excellency, the Wing Commander, is convening an emergency military meeting. Please report all matters after the military operation is over tomorrow. This is also what Your Excellency the Chief of Agency meant. At the same time, Your Excellency, the Wing Commander asked Your Excellency, Major, why you don't stay in the security team when the military operation is imminent."
Supervise those Chinese officers and come here? Please return to your combat post immediately!"
In a few hours, the attack on Tongxian 29th Army is about to begin!
All Japanese officers are busy.
There is nothing more important than annihilating the Chinese army in Tong County.
This is also Watanabe Hiro's helplessness.
He is a major.
But his duty is to monitor the security officers.
The rest is not his business.
Factional struggles in the Japanese army are equally serious.
Unfortunately, Watanabe Hiroo and Captain Xuanjima are not from the same faction.
Captain Xuanjima was transferred from the so-called Third Division of the First Division, while Watanabe Hirofo was first responsible for garrison duty in Kyoto, and then was transferred to the Second Division, stationed in Ronan, North Korea.
19th Division, and then was photographed serving as a consultant in Tong County.
Therefore, Captain Xuanjima looked down upon him at all and always made things difficult for Hiro Watanabe.
As for Hosoki Shigeru, he has a very good relationship with Captain Xuanjima, and his position is obvious. What's more, a major military operation is about to begin soon. Whether it is Captain Xuanjima or Shigeru Hosoki,
The focus is now here.
Watanabe Hiro's right is to supervise the security team. Without the security team, he has no right to arrest a "Japanese".
In particular, he only had doubts about "Sakuragi Hanamichi". If he was caught wrongly, he simply could not bear the responsibility...
If Shigeru Hosoki could see him... If Hirofo Watanabe could see Meng Shaoyuan even one day earlier... If Hirofo Watanabe could be braver and control "Sakuragi Hanamichi" first...
if……
There is no if.
Meng Shaoyuan's fatal negligence caused him to fall into death. However, the special situation that happened in Tong County temporarily saved him.
Perhaps, fate has already decreed everything...
…
When he returned to his residence, although he was worried, Meng Shaoyuan still called Song Deng over: "How long has Pan Baolai been gone?"
"It's been 12 hours. I believe he has already sent the information to our battalion commander Xu of the 29th Army in Tong County."
"Okay. I hope Battalion Commander Xu can be ready to fight the Japanese invaders!"
…
3 o'clock in the morning in 1937.
The Japanese Xuandao Regiment in Tongxian County suddenly launched an attack on Camp Xu Xihao of the 143rd Division of the 29th Army of the Chinese Army stationed outside the south gate of Xincheng in Tongxian County.
The battalion had received information in advance that the Japanese army was about to attack. The fortifications were complete and the firepower was properly equipped. The entire battalion officers and soldiers were ready to fight.
When the Japanese attack just started, under the command of Battalion Commander Xu Xihao, the entire battalion officers and soldiers worked together as one, firing all the light and heavy firepower on the position to deal a fierce blow to the invading Japanese army!
The Japanese army did not expect to encounter such tenacious resistance. In their first charge, they left more than ten corpses on the position and retreated in confusion.
The fierce fighting lasted until 5 a.m., but the Xu camp's position remained motionless, while the Japanese casualties continued to increase.
"Report to the battalion commander that the Tongxian security team on our flank is firing loudly."
"Don't worry about the security team, they won't attack." Xu Xihao waved his hand, turned to Pan Baolai beside him, and asked quietly: "All my soldiers are in the front position, are you sure the security team won't attack us? What if?
…That’s going to cause big trouble.”
"Don't worry, Battalion Commander Xu." Pan Baolai said with full confidence, "Director Meng is watching over there himself."
"Tell me, that Meng...Meng Shaoyuan, is he really so bold that he dares to stay with the Japanese and call the shots?"
"Battle Commander Xu, don't worry, there is nothing in this world that our Director Meng dare not do."
"That's it." Xu Xihao picked up the binoculars: "Damn it, the brothers were fighting the Japanese to the death at the Marco Polo Bridge. It's calm here, and now I can finally let go and have a fight. The messenger, go and tell
Brothers, we are from the 29th Army. There are no cowards in the 29th Army! Give me a hard beating! If you die, you must face me and die!"
This battle was the "Battle to Defend Tongxian County".
The Xu Xihao Battalion of the 143rd Division of the 29th Army fought alone with one battalion without reinforcements.
At dawn, Japanese aircraft appeared over the position, and in conjunction with ground artillery, they bombarded the Xu camp position wildly.
As soon as the sound of artillery subsided, the Chinese soldiers emerged from the soil one after another, remounted their weapons, shouted "Aoao", and with red eyes, poured bullets at the swarming enemies.
During this battle, the Xu Xihao Battalion held its position from 3 a.m. to 8 a.m. Facing the Japanese army's all-round artillery superiority, the position remained motionless and killed more than a hundred Japanese invaders.
As soon as 8 o'clock passed, Xu Ying received the order from his superiors and immediately broke out and retreated!
The only thing they were worried about was that after hours of fierce fighting, the casualties among their brothers were also very high. Once the Tongxian security team intercepted, Xu Ying would be attacked from both ends, making a breakout impossible.
However, there is one person who will make sure this doesn't happen:
Meng Shaoyuan!
…
The Peking Opera "Yellow Crane Tower" is playing on the gramophone.
Meng Shaoyuan was holding a glass of wine, lying on the rocking chair, humming Peking Opera while shaking his head.
Actually...Master Meng knows nothing about Peking Opera...
You have to pretend.
Could it be that in this era, you let the gramophone play the song "The King Asked Me to Patrol the Mountain"?
When Master Meng is like this, he is calm and composed, and not afraid of danger.
To be honest, he was so nervous that he didn't know what he was feeling.
How are the brothers in the 29th Army?
Are their casualties high?
What if any of the officers in the security team disobeys the command?
What about Zhang Qingyu and the others?
Why haven't you reported yet?
what are they doing?
"Director Meng."
Zhang Qingyu finally rushed in.
"What's the matter?" Meng Shaoyuan asked calmly.
As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan like this, Zhang Qingyu was filled with admiration.
With the fight outside like this, Director Meng still has the heart to listen to Peking Opera and drink some wine. After all, he has received professional training.
"The Japanese attack is not going well." Zhang Qingyu said with joy on his face: "The brothers of the 29th Army fought very tenaciously. Just now, the Japanese called again and asked us for immediate reinforcements!"
good!
Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed.
The hard-hitting soldiers of the 29th Army, with the strength of a battalion, actually stubbornly blocked the Xuandao Regiment and asked for reinforcements from the security team.
"Ignore them." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Let the brothers fight more lively on the battlefield. Fight with light machine guns, heavy machine guns and cannons as hard as you can! If the Japanese call again, they will say that the security team's position has been violently attacked.
, we really can’t allocate troops for reinforcements.”
