Chapter 231: The Battle of Nankou (9)

Nearly one-third of the first battalion was injured or killed; only a few dozen people were left in the second battalion, all of which were injured, and basically all were wiped out; the engineer company and the heavy machine gun platoon assigned to the firepower company of Rong's first regiment were also wiped out, and more than half of the entire Rong's first regiment was killed or killed. This was just the first day of the battle. With the list of casualties just sent by the staff, Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"How is Cheng Dean's situation?" Chen Xiuwen looked up and asked Chen Yi, who came in with the staff.

"Director Sheng is checking, but the specific situation is not known yet." Chen Yi quickly replied.

"I don't know what you are doing when you come back?" Chen Xiuwen stood up and stared at him anxiously. In the entire Rongyi Division, Chen Xiuwen trusted and caring the most and caring about Cheng Dean and Shen Yi.

Chen Yi hurriedly explained: "Master, don't worry. When I carved Captain Cheng down just now, I looked carefully. There were no obvious scars on Captain Cheng's body, maybe..."

"Okay, okay. Don't say anything. Let's go and take a look." Chen Xiuwen said, hurriedly walking out the door.

The small Nankou Town has now become a large hospital. Most of the houses that did not collapse in the Japanese air raid in the morning have been placed in wounded soldiers. Screams and moans have echoed one after another, and Chen Xiuwen's brows frowned even tighter.

Under the leadership of Shen Yi, Chen Xiuwen walked into a house where Cheng Dean was placed. Before entering the door, Chen Xiuwen shouted anxiously: "Shenghua, how is Cheng Dean's situation?"

"Shh." Walking into the door, he saw Sheng Hua, the director of the Department Hospital, sitting by the bed, holding his pulse for Cheng Dean lying on the bed. Seeing Chen Xiuwen and Shen Yi coming in, Sheng Hua quickly put his index finger on his mouth and made a move to silence.

Chen Xiuwen nodded and walked to Cheng Dean's bed with his hands and feet. His body was covered with a quilt, and he could not see the specific injuries. However, he was pressing his eyes and his face was pale and he was sweating constantly on his head. Chen Xiuwen was very anxious and wanted to ask, but it was not easy to disturb him when he saw Sheng Hua focusing on his pulse.

After a while, Sheng Hua put down Cheng Dean's hand and gently put it in the quilt. Chen Xiuwen quickly asked softly: "How about Dean? Is there any life in danger?"

Sheng Hua stood up and smiled slightly: "Master, don't worry. Captain Cheng is not a big deal, he is just over fatigue and qi and blood stagnation, so he is shocked. You'll have a good rest."

Chen Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." He relaxed and then looked at Shenghua with surprise and said: "Shenghua, didn't expect you to be a Chinese medicine practitioner?"

"I was originally from a traditional Chinese medicine family, and later I followed Dr. Chen to study Western medicine." Sheng Hua replied with a smile. "Master, let's go out first and let Captain Cheng have a good sleep. There will probably be no problem tomorrow."

Walking out the door with Shenghua, looking at the busy scene everywhere, Chen Xiuwen frowned and said, "This is not OK! Once the Japanese attack comes, only two bombs will be done. The wounded must retreat to Huailai County overnight."

When Sheng Hua heard this, he said with a bitter face: "Our division department hospital has limited staff and the logistics department cannot free up vehicles, so it will not be able to withdraw at all at this time."

Chen Xiuwen thought for a while, turned to Chen Yi and ordered: "Carry the train used by the division headquarters office and change it to the wounded special train, and transfer the wounded overnight."

"Yes." Chen Yi responded quickly and hurriedly went to convey the order.

After chatting with Shenghua for a few more words, Chen Xiuwen, who was about to return to the command center, suddenly flashed a familiar figure in front of him. He quickly called Shenghua and asked, "Why is Lin Jingyun here too?"

"There is no way, the army suffered heavy casualties, and Vice President Lin is the first knife in the surgery department of our hospital." Sheng Hua also knew the relationship between Lin Jingyun and Shen Xiuwen, and quickly replied.

"Have Wang Xiaofei arrived?" Chen Xiuwen asked again.

"No." Sheng Hua was a student of Dr. Chen, a private doctor in the Shen family. He had also heard of the romantic affairs of Mr. Chen joining the army. Wang Xiaofei is now known as the number one beauty of Rongyi Division. He looked at Chen Xiuwen with a strange look and said, "What? Master, are you in trouble with Dr. Xiao Wang?"

"It's okay." Chen Xiuwen frowned slightly, and he didn't care about Sheng Hua's strange eyes. This Wang Xiaofei was indeed a Japanese spy. It is difficult to guarantee that there were no Japanese secret agencies in Huailai County. How could Wang Xiaofei escape from Lin Jingyun's sight at this time?

"In this way, you can ask Lin Jingyun to come to me later." Chen Xiuwen gave an order and walked towards the command center.

Looking at the back of the master, Sheng Hua murmured to himself: "Vice President Lin? Doctor Xiao Wang? I really don't understand." As he said that, he shook his head in confusion and hurried to the temporary operating room.

"Report." Not long after Chen Xiuwen returned to the command center, Lin Jingyun's report came from outside the door.

"Come in." As Chen Xiuwen shouted, Lin Jingyun, wearing a white coat stained with blood, walked in.

Seeing Lin Jingyun come in, Chen Yi in the room hurriedly walked out the door tactfully.

"Didn't you let you stare at Wang Xiaofei? How could you keep her in Huailai County?" After Chen Yi went out, Chen Xiuwen hurriedly walked to Lin Jingyun and asked in a low voice.

When the two were alone, Lin Jingyun was not so restrained and said unconvincedly: "There are so many wounded people here, how could I not come? I came to save the lives of the anti-Japanese soldiers. Don't forget that I joined your army with this original intention."

Chen Xiuwen was speechless for a while and said embarrassedly: "I don't mean that. I mean Wang Xiaofei is a dangerous person. If you leave her in Huailai County, you cannot guarantee that she will not contact the Japanese secret service in Huailai. The military headquarters is stationed in Huailai. What if there is a mistake?"

Seeing that Chen Xiuwen was indeed anxious, Lin Jingyun smiled and said, "Don't worry. When I was about to set off, Deputy Chief of Staff Chen happened to be in my arms. Deputy Chief of Staff Shen and I were angry and stared at him with his people. Do you think I would forget what you told me. Besides, the seriously injured people sent from Rong's Second Regiment yesterday did need a doctor. Although Wang Xiaofei is a Japanese spy, her medical skills are pretty good. I don't know that she dares to attack our wounded people now. It's just right to use it."

When Chen Xiuwen heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay. I blame you wrongly and apologize to you. I really can't see that you really have the potential to be a spy."

Chen Xiuwen's seemingly unintentional joke made Lin Jingyun shocked. Seeing Chen Xiuwen's smile, he quickly covered up his coquettishness and said, "I'm helping you with your work now, why are you making fun of me? If you do this again, I won't do it."

"I'm not making fun of you, I'm praising you. You did a good job today." Chen Xiuwen waved his hand quickly. Then he looked at Lin Jingyun and said in surprise: "This is the front line. According to the rules, you medical staff must carry guns. Why didn't you bring guns?"

Hearing that Chen Xiuwen took the initiative to change the topic and did not look suspicious, Lin Jingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then pouted and said, "We are doctors and not soldiers. Besides, we are wearing a white coat like Shenghua, and carrying such a big box behind her back, and she is so ugly that she is so ugly."

Chen Xiuwen then remembered that girls love beauty, even on the battlefield where wars are raging. But Lin Jingyun is different. She is still responsible for surveillance of Wang Xiaofei. Maybe one day there will be danger. She smiled slightly, took out the Colt 1911a1 pistol given to him by his elder brother back then, and handed it to Lin Jingyun: "I was negligent. Please take this gun first to defend yourself. I will give you a smaller one in a while."

At that time, Colt 1911a1 could be regarded as the latest type of pistol. Although it was not small, it still looked very beautiful. Lin Jingyun took the pistol with Chen Xiuwen's body temperature and recognized it at a glance that this was the gun that Chen Xiuwen shot and killed three Japanese when he saved her. Thinking of the scene back then, a hint of warmth came to his heart. He looked at Chen Xiuwen with embarrassment and said, "This gun has been with you for many years, right?"

"It was my elder brother who gave me back then. Although this gun is a bit big, it is powerful and very useful. In two days, I will ask Chen Yi to send you the holster and bullets." As he said that, Chen Xiuwen smiled and said, "Wearing this gun on his body is better than a box cannon."

Lin Jingyun's face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but put the gun on her chest and whispered: "It's pretty good. You don't have to look for it anymore. I want this one." As she said that, she didn't dare to look at Chen Xiuwen again and said: "You...If you're fine, then I'll go and do it."

"Go." Chen Xiuwen nodded. Looking at Lin Jingyun's back as he lowered his head and walked out of the room, Chen Xiuwen's heart couldn't help but tremble. Although he had Yu Wenwan now, Lin Jingyun was the first girl he liked in this world after all. Whenever the two were alone, Chen Xiuwen always had a trace of inexplicable emotions. Although the troops' temptation before departure ruled out the suspicion of Lin Jingyun, he still felt that he could not see through her and always felt that there was a mysterious color on her body. It was this mystery that attracted him especially.

"Report." The sound of Chen Yi's report outside interrupted Chen Xiuwen's thoughts. He took a deep breath and shouted: "Come in."

It turned out that after Ma Congping was asked to leave by Zheng Huaishan, Chen Xiuwen transferred Yu Feng to be his adjutant, but Yu Feng was restless. At the same time, considering his artillery talent, after the troops arrived in Huailai, Chen Xiuwen sent him again to be the artillery company commander, and now Chen Yi has become his guard commander and adjutant.

"The chief of staff and deputy chief of staff are here." Chen Yi came in and reported.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, let them in." Chen Xiuwen said quickly. The first day's battle was already beyond his imagination. Qiao Zhen and Shen Zui came at this time.

"Teacher Commander, I heard that Commander Cheng was injured. What's the situation?" Qiao Zhen asked hurriedly as he entered the door.

"It's okay. Sheng Hua just saw it, and he can't die. This kid is still the same temper and has become the leader of the group. He can't stand the pressure. He actually rushed to the front line to fight for bayonets for the Japanese devils, just looking for death." Chen Xiuwen cursed with a very ironic look on his face.

Everyone in Rongyi Division knew about the friendship between Chen Xiuwen and Cheng Dean. Seeing Chen Xiuwen's expression, it means that Cheng Dean had nothing to do. Qiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said worriedly: "Rongyi Group has suffered a lot of casualties, right?"

"The casualties are very serious." Chen Xiuwen sighed, picked up the casualties list from the table and handed it to Qiao Zhen, and asked Qiao Zhen and Shen Zuichuan to read it.

After reading it, Qiao Zhen passed it to Chen Zui, frowned and said, "The battle on the first day was so fierce. It seems that the Neon Army is bound to win Nankouzhi. The battle will be difficult to fight in the future."

"The Japanese didn't ask for it either. They shot down four of their planes and wiped out a chariot squadron. The Sixty-first Regiment was probably more than half of the casualties." Chen Xiuwen said with some regret. However, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have suffered such a big loss, so I can't just forget it. No matter what, I have to bite another piece of meat from the 11th Brigade."

Qiao Zhen pushed his glasses and said, "Now the Japanese occupy absolute air supremacy and there are heavy artillery troops. We are not a passive defense. Division commander, what do you mean?"

Chen Xiuwen did not answer Qiao Zhen immediately, and turned to Chen Zui and asked, "Shuyi, how is your people surveillance about Changping?"

Chen Zui quickly replied: "Changping currently has two brigades of the 62nd Regiment of the 11th Brigade of the Neon Army, the baggage brigade directly under the brigade, the engineering brigade, a military police force of more than 100 people, and a security team of more than 400 people composed of traitors. According to my reconnaissance, the Neon Army now regards Changping as the advance base for this attack on the Pingsui Line, and has been transporting ammunition and various materials from Peking these days. However, the Japanese have been very strict in their defense, and they cannot know the types and quantity of materials at present."

"Okay!" Chen Xiuwen slapped the table and said excitedly: "Then we will find a way to copy the old den of the old Japanese man, Shigekam Suzuki."

"But the division seat, there are currently a large number of Japanese troops in Changping County, and there are also strong city wall defenses. Now the Japanese have very strict defenses against the county, and the city gates are tight, so the people are not allowed to enter and exit. If we want to attack Changping, it is very difficult." Chen Zui couldn't help but talk and said quickly when he heard Chen Xiuwen's bold plan.

"The Neon Army has a lot of casualties now. Since they are sure to win Nankou Zhi, the two brigades of the Sixty-second Regiment will move sooner or later." Qiao Zhen thought about it, and then continued with some concern: "However, even if the two brigades of the Sixty-second Regiment are transferred out of the city, their baggage brigade, engineer brigade, and military police have a total of thousands of people, plus the traitor's security team. If you attack strongly, Nankou is only ten kilometers away from Changping, and the Japanese can reinforce at any time. The Ninth Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Neon Army that reinforced the battlefield in North China is stationed in Huilongguan area less than 30 kilometers south of Changping, and the reinforcements are also very fast."

"Strong attack? Humph, I won't do this kind of loss-making transaction." Chen Xiuwen snorted and continued to ask Chen Zui, "How many people have you planted in Changping County?"

"Add thirty or so, all with long and short guns, but there are no heavy weapons."

"Teacher, tell me your plan. Don't make a puzzle for us." Qiao Zhen said anxiously. As a top student in the German Army Academy, the formal combat arrangement, Qiao Zhen thought he was better than Chen Xiuwen, but he wanted to go against the sword and go astray, beside the side and fish in troubled waters. Qiao Zhen knew that he was far inferior to the division commander.

"You come and see." Chen Xiuwen smiled slightly, walked to the map beside the wall and said, "Now the Japanese attacked our army from the front of the Southkou and Deshengkou. Only the southern front was supplemented with a regiment of defense, and there was no movement in the area of ​​Zhenbiancheng. First, this is a mountainous area, and the terrain is dangerous, which is not conducive to the Japanese mechanized troops' mobility. Second, the most important thing is that a single mixed 11th brigade does not have enough troops to divide into three groups to launch an attack at the same time."

As he said that, Chen Xiuwen smiled at Qiao Zhen and said, "Brother Songlin, what you said just now is right. The Japanese must win the Nankou sign. The two brigades left by the Sixty-second Regiment in Changping City will sooner or later. I plan to send the Rong3rd Regiment of the Special Services Camp and the Rong2nd Brigade to the 1390th Highland in Hengling, as long as the two brigades are transferred out of Changping County. The Special Services Camp and Rong3rd Regiment will immediately pass through Arieskou and cross the Beisha River to the Machikou area south of Changping City. Changping County The remaining 1,000 Japanese and 400 traitors in the city, one special agent battalion is enough. Rong San Regiment is responsible for blocking the Fifth Division heading north along the Beisha River. In addition, Wang Shaoping transferred the two battalions that supplemented the Second Regiment. At that time, the Japanese at the front of the Nankou entrance wanted to return to defend the reinforcements, and I don’t think it was that easy. We burned all kinds of supplies that the Japanese gathered in Changping, and then fetched a vote. At that time, the old Japanese Suzuki Shigekatsu would not have time to cry."

Qiao Zhen looked down at the map, pondered for a moment, and slapped the table with a little excitement and said: "I think this plan is feasible. The secret service battalion is good at sneak attacks, and there are people from Deputy Chief of Staff Shen to be the insider. Solve the problem in two hours, and then retreat immediately. As long as you retreat into the mountainous area, the Japanese want to chase after it, it is not that easy. However, it is best to let the supplementary regiment come out to respond to the Aries mouth before ensuring that everything is foolproof."

"Shuyi, will there be any problem with your people being on the city wall then?" Chen Xiuwen asked again.

"My people can't seize a city gate, but there is no problem in controlling a remote city wall to meet the special agent camp." Chen Zui said excitedly.

"Okay, just do it. Brother Songlin, you are responsible for the specific implementation. Tomorrow morning, the Japanese should attack again."
