Netizen Upload Chapter 61: Soul Lead Wuchang (8)
.As for matters, the evacuation of refugee operations planned by Cheng Jiaji was indeed a great success. Of course, this feat also won unprecedented praise and praise from the people of all walks of life and other countries in the allied camps. But things in the world are often gained and lost. This rescue operation, which was praised by the New York Times as a classic example of Eastern humanitarianism, is no exception. No matter how sensational or exciting it is, it is a real-life loss transaction.
This is not sensational. People with a little bit of military knowledge can see that the Chinese army paid a military price to separate tens of thousands of people from death as much as possible! The major losses of four or five thousand casualties were already heartbreaking enough, but the most unfavorable thing for the Chinese army was that the two Chinese troops inside and outside Wuchang City, which were all in this battle, had exposed all their virtualities and reality to the Japanese army armed to their teeth! According to military tradition, this exposure was absolutely forbidden before the decisive military action was fully launched. This means that in the subsequent battle, the difficulty of the Chinese army's victory will increase by several times.
What's even more unfortunate is that whether it is Hengshan Yong, who is always peeking at Wuchang in Hanyang, eager to have the opportunity to avenge the defeated army and lose land, or Chiluli, who is commanding his troops to fight fiercely with three Chinese troops at the same time, they are all keen generals who can accurately capture the opponent's weaknesses and flaws and exploit them in time.
So, in winter, the lonely city of Wuchang came in advance.
On April 6th, when the sun was about to fall before it fell, the Japanese army, which had completed the adjustment of its troops, came back to Wuchang City with a storm. The main attack direction chosen by the Japanese army this time was as expected by Cheng Jiaji and others, the north of the city! However, the strong attack momentum in the north of the city made the Chinese generals feel unexpected. Of course, the Japanese assault corps, which were about to reach the critical point in the use of troops, can
The concentration of artillery fire and troops in the north of the city was based on the premise of reducing the strength and firepower density in other directions. The result of this weakening was that the Japanese not only were they forcibly stabilized by them after dawn, but they could only maintain local offensives. What's more, the Japanese army to the east of Wuchang actually adopted a comprehensive defensive. In other words, with the newly formed line of defense, the Japanese army was considered to have double insurance between Wuchang and Hesheng Bridge.
In theory, there is a lack of strong support for one-sided attacks. Even if it comes in a turbulent wave, its harm will always be limited. However, Cheng Jiaji did not dare to take it lightly at all. You must know that there are more than 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops on the other side of the river. I hope they will not only determine the ownership of the three towns in Wuhan and the central Hubei plain, but also affect the overall trend of China's war. It is possible? At least, it is said that they have participated in the Sino-Japanese War.
Cheng Jiaji, who has started more than 80% of the main wars, has never seen this phenomenon in the Japanese army. On the contrary, within the Chinese army with mixed factions, they have stood by and watched the fire from the other side of the river, and even killed people with a knife. (Computer reading ) This is one of the main reasons why our great China faced a mere little Japanese slave, and fought against the war at home, and fought so hard.
What should come always comes! At 9 o'clock that night, just as the battle for Jiao Zhan and Fenghuang Mountain was in full swing, the six and seven thousand Japanese troops who came from Hanyang who came from the river were divided into many groups and climbed onto the east bank of the Yangtze River.
Although Cheng Jiaji, who had been on guard, not only arranged corresponding forces along the lines of the original Hanyang Gate, Pinghu Gate and Wenchang Gate east of the city, but also placed the temporary regiment reduced from the 116th Division on the Guanqian Bureau on the side of the Snake Mountain to facilitate support at any time. However, under the strong cover of the Japanese artillery positions set on Guishan, one of the Japanese troops broke into the city from the right side of the Hanyang Gate in a very short time. After entering the city, the Japanese army neither directly towards the main position of the Snake Mountain, nor horizontally spread out. It had expanded the gap opened by it. Instead, it braved the multi-faceted firepower of the Chinese army and rushed north regardless of everything.
Hug the Ice Hall.
Since the Japanese army in Hanyang crossed the river, it was known that the biggest crisis since guarding the lonely city had arrived. Cheng Jiaji frowned and pecked at the camel brand cigarettes one by one. At this moment, it had even developed to the point where he was burned to his fingers by the cigarettes, and he suddenly realized that he had not realized it.
No wonder Cheng Jiaji, who has experienced many battles, would be so disobedient. The scheming Hengshan Yong punched him just hit the defender seven inches. As long as this Japanese army with amazing strength broke forward through a few Hengjie and alleys, it would rush to the side of the Fenghuang Mountain defender. At that time, the Fenghuang Mountain position, which was attacked by the enemy from both sides, would be surrounded by two Japanese troops, which were in harmony with the inside and outside. Even if the Chinese army was already a defensive system in the northern half of the city, it would have to be washed away and scattered.
Since we cannot pass it, we have to find a way to block it! But the difficulty lies in the fact that the Japanese army and the defenders in the south of Phoenix Mountain were quite scattered. The total number was less than 700. After all, that area was originally the rear of Wuchang City, and the war in the North City was extremely tight. If it were not for strengthening the original street fighting fortifications and to facilitate the next step of combat, Cheng Jiaji's army would not have left most of the soldiers in the Qingshizui battle of the previous class, and the already ruined New 188th Division, the New 668th Regiment, would not have been placed here.
The most hateful thing is that even Cheng Jiaji made a great decision and drew the 365th Regiment from the Snake Mountain Guards to reinforce was held back by another Japanese army who seemed to have been planning and would not reach the ground for a while.
Just when Cheng Jiaji, who thought he was powerless to make a comeback, was about to issue an order to withdraw the main force of the defenders in the north of the city to the south of the Sheshan Mountain, leaving only a small force to conduct restraining street fighting with the Japanese army in the northern half of the city, a call from the front changed all this.
"Junzu, I am Fang Ping." A calm voice mixed with cleverness, mixed with the deafening sound of gunfire. In fact, when Cheng Jiaji was the deputy brigade commander of the 174th Brigade, he knew the then battalion commander of the brigade. However, the son of this big tea merchant who always smiled so gently and friendly was Chang Jing's iron-core direct lineage. At that time, the two of them would stay away from each other. It was no surprise.
"Captain Fang, how is the battle there?" As far as I'm concerned, Cheng Jiaji didn't expect the new 668th Regiment to surprise him when he asked this question. After all, all kinds of situations were clearly placed there, and the probability that something exciting suddenly could happen was almost zero.
But Cheng Jiaji never expected that Fang Ping really brought good news. To be precise, Fang Ping proposed a combat plan that could not only greatly delay the progress of the Japanese army in front of him, but also provide major damage to the opponent. What is even more rare is that the feasibility of this plan is astonishingly high.
But despite this, Cheng Jiaji, who was helpless about this, did not approve it immediately. Instead, he looked solemn and sad, falling into silence.
Fang Ping repeatedly urged and asked on the phone: "Junzu. Can't hesitate anymore, we don't have much time!"
Cheng Jiaji, who was in the midst of a relationship between heaven and man, still said nothing.
Fang Ping must have been extremely anxious. Otherwise, he would not have called the surname and shouted: "Cheng Jiaji, if you are still a man, just give me a correct word!"
"Captain Fang, maybe... it's not time to take the last step... maybe use artillery fire to block it..." Perhaps it was because he was too excited, or perhaps because he was ashamed of himself, Cheng Jiaji, who could talk calmly and calmly when facing the supreme authorities, became hesitant and hesitant in front of a small leader.
"My main throne, the battle just now has proved that artillery fire interception is not very useful. For Wuchang, for the victory of the battle, and for the Chinese to defeat the Japanese, you should make up your mind!" Fang Ping shouted loudly. From this passionate shouting that contained Fang Ping, the incomparable sincerity to the nation was so touching and heart-warming.
The trace of luck in Cheng Jiaji's heart was unbearable, and finally, under the attack of this highly appealing call and cruel reality, he was defeated. "Just do what you said, I will arrange the matter here!" After squeezed out these words from his teeth for all his life, Cheng Jiaji felt that his strength was suddenly sucked away. He felt ache in his heart, his mind was dizzy, and his feet were staggering. If Tu Jingguo had not been quick-witted, this famous anti-Japanese general at home and abroad, and the commander-in-chief of the Wuchang Defense Battle, would have fallen to the ground in public.
"I'm fine!" After pushing Tu Jingguo away vigorously, Cheng Jiaji, who was still a little shaking, called Qin Dongsheng over first and hurriedly explained to him a few words. Then he left Qin Dongsheng who was busy hanging up the phone and walked straight outside.
Tu Jingguo, who had been standing beside Cheng Jiaji, seemed to have guessed the whole story from the words he had just heard. He did not dissuade the commander's willfulness as usual, but instead called on a few Dragon Teeth personnel who served as guards to quickly chase Cheng Jiaji.
After a while, the south slope of Snake Mountain.
It is more appropriate to describe Cheng Jiaji's state of mind at this moment with both hope and fear. Rumor tells Cheng Jiaji that as long as Fang Ping's plan can succeed, it will be of great help to stabilize the current situation! But in terms of emotions, Cheng Jiaji is really willing, and he dare not and does not want to see his brothers performing that tragic and generous life drama under his nose.
Cheng Jiaji's hesitation and contradictions obviously did not affect the progress of the situation. Shortly after he climbed up the south slope with panting, groups of shells pierced the sky with a shrill scream and flew from Snake Mountain to somewhere northwest of the city. Then, the explosion of shells was reflected in red.
He knew that there must be many soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies who were vowing to fight against the Meat Bo, Cheng Jiaji, who could no longer help but feel sad and choked up. Yes, Fang Ping had just asked Cheng Jiaji to order the howitzer regiment to carry out indiscriminate artillery bombardment on the positions that were currently under the control of the regiment according to the distance measured a few days ago and the code prescribed earlier!
After this shelling, Cheng Jiaji stood still on the hillside. He was waiting for a signal flare to rise in symbolizing that the New 365th Regiment had joined with the New 668th Regiment.
Cheng Jiaji didn't know yet that the shelling that had just passed did not scare the Japanese who had never lacked bravery as expected. The Japanese soldiers with great blind obedience had not yet come back from the shock and came to their senses. They waved their swords and howling and screaming at the same time, and instinctively rushed towards the next street intersection.
On the edge of a street intersection in the northwest of the city.
"Captain, you take the Third Battalion to retreat to the cross. Compare the military achievements, according to the serial number and skills, no matter what, it is our brothers from the Second Battalion to set off first." Speaking of the strong man with a tower-shaped body, he was named Liu Dahei. General (another name for bandits in Henan). He is currently the major battalion commander of the Second Battalion of the New 668th Regiment.
He was competing for strength and competitive all his life, and at this moment, he was the battalion commander of the 12th class of the Military Academy to graduate from the 12th class of the military academy. He relied on being able to speak and told the story. He snatched the power of starting the road from him.
The brothers of the second battalion, who were already blood-stained, were also clamoring and shouting, expressing their same wishes as Liu Dahei. Anyway, the dozens of people who were unwilling to die with the Japanese army had already been dismissed by Fang Ping. The brothers who were willing to stay were not clear in their hearts that next year's day will be their own death day. It's a death day, so why should you show your timidity before death?
In comparison, the third battalion, which was killed early, was much less powerful. Not only were they fewer people, but the confidence of the acting battalion commander who had just taken office, who was a documentary in the battalion department a few days ago, was also not at the same level as Liu Dahei, who was wide-eyed.
Seeing that the Second Camp was about to succeed, the proud Liu Sanhei was stunned for the next second.
Fang Ping, who stood at the vanguard of the Third Battalion in three steps, smiled and said to Liu Dahei: "Da Hei Niu, don't forget that I am the old battalion commander of the Third Battalion. How about it, let's compete for military merits and play with fists and feet.
At this time, the brothers from the Second Battalion also shut up.
Let Liu Dahei compete with Fang Ping? It’s a joke! The brothers in the second camp don’t know who knows. If Fang Ping hadn’t been drinking, fighting with bare hands, and shooting skills, they defeated their Liu Da family in three ways. How could the hundreds of brothers in the village wear this number suit? At this moment, they would have been free and easy on Qingniu Mountain in Henan.
Liu Dahei, whose eyes were so angry that his eyes were blood-red, angrily said: "You are the one with the surname Fang, you fucking look down on others!"
"Brother! Have I looked down on you in the past two years? Are I sorry for you and your brothers?" In Fang Ping's calm and unmoving tone, there was a convincing power.
"This..." Fang Ping asked in reverse, which could have stopped Liu Dahei. He let his face flushed, but he couldn't find a reason to refute Fang Ping's words.
"Da Hei! My good brother! I am a leader. I thought of this forced method again. I didn't walk in my head because I was afraid that my brothers would mess up. I was already guilty! If I asked me to go on the road for the last time, wouldn't this be a knife to suck my heart out!" Fang Ping, who had strong self-control, was moved as he spoke. When he spoke, his eyes were full of tears.
"Captain! My brother! I'll go with you!" Liu Dahei replied in tears.
"My good brother! You should catch up with the Second Camp! With you pressing this last time, I'll feel at ease!" Fang Ping, who turned around quickly, said as he walked, and walked towards the street intersection ahead, which was the place of death he chose for him, striding towards the meteor. In the eyes of his brothers, his back, which was indescribable, was full of heroic spirit and unrestrainedness!
The brothers of the third battalion rushed down in a hurry, while the Liu Dahei from the second battalion knelt down for me! I send my brothers who have gone first, I hope we will be together again in the next life!" In the command, with their battalion commander, the boss pushed the golden mountains and fell on the ground like jade pillars, and shouted loudly in unison: "Go away, brothers! May we meet again in the next life!"
This thunderous roar echoed between the world and the world for a long time!
Later, the south slope of Snake Mountain.
"Ah...!" After waiting for a while, Cheng Jiaji, who was covered with the second artillery fire in the northwest of the city, was crying and whistling to the sky, and his unsatisfied halberd pointed at the dark night sky and cried: "Ship is incompetent, exhausted, exhausted.
In fact, while Cheng Jiaji was cursing at the sky, he had been rushing to the 365th Regiment with all his strength, forcing the last intersection not far from the remnants of the New 668th Regiment. Ten minutes later, the three signals of one red and two yellow that Cheng Jiaji had been looking forward to appeared in the sky.
The front line of Wuchang's northern half city has finally stabilized for the time being! The brothers of the Second Battalion who saved themselves from dying tonight have survived with great luck! Although they did not follow the brothers who took the lead, who could say that they are not heroes? As long as this heroic spirit is still there, the soul of the hero is still there! Our China will last forever! Update on time, please support some recommendation tickets to get at the bottom!
