After receiving the order, the 300 brigade started spinning rapidly like a top that had been whipped.
Soon, the 398th, 399th, and teaching regiments were the first to complete the assembly. Due to too many people, there was a serious shortage of trucks, so only the soldiers of the 398th regiment and the artillery battalion took the lead in more than a hundred trucks.
Setting off towards Taierzhuang, the remaining two infantry regiments, led by Liang Zhi, ran towards the train station.
The car Suri was riding in followed the 398th Regiment and quickly moved towards Taierzhuang. Surrounding him were more than a dozen large trucks filled with soldiers from the guard battalion, surrounding the car Suri was riding in.
Surrounded tightly.
Suri leaned on the cushion behind him, his eyes slightly closed, and he quietly closed his eyes to rest. He knew that he would soon be greeted by an unprecedented battle, and he had to be fully prepared to face it...
…
Xuzhou Theater Command
Commander Li's voice echoed in the headquarters, "Has Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps arrived? Order him to report the troop's position to the theater headquarters immediately."
A staff officer stood up and replied: "Sir, Tang Junjun reported that they found signs of Japanese military activities in Zaozhuang and the outskirts of Feng County. He is ordering Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army and Wang Zhonglian's 85th Army to conduct exploratory expeditions to these two areas respectively.
attack."
"What time has this happened? What kind of probing attack is he still thinking about?" Chief Li's voice was filled with anger. "Immediately tell Tang Enbo that we must defeat the enemy forces in Zaozhuang, Feng County as quickly as possible, and immediately fight with Feng Yi.
The loyal army moves closer to Taierzhuang together!"
"yes!"
The sky quickly darkened, and the scenery on the distant front slowly melted into the night. Both sides, who had fought fiercely for a day, huddled in their trenches and silently licked their wounds. There were discarded shell casings, shell fragments, and other objects everywhere.
There were broken gun parts and rubble, as well as unidentifiable pieces of clothing mixed with them.
After directing troops to fight day and night for several days, Chi Fengcheng, who was overworked, suddenly became nervous today. On a March day, he was still wearing a thick winter coat and sat quietly beside a bonfire.
.
There was silence in the Guandi Temple, only the crackling sound of the undried firewood was burning. There was a lot of smoke when the firewood was burning. The entire Guandi Temple was filled with green smoke. From time to time, the rush of Chi Fengcheng could be heard in the thick smoke.
coughing sound.
"Ring ring ring..."
Kang Faru, the deputy commander of the 31st Division, grabbed the phone and said: "Hey, hey... is it the 187th Regiment? How is Xizhuang doing now? What... ahem... your first trench has been lost, why?
What the hell, I tell you to immediately organize a death squad to take it back before dawn!"
A pleading voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sir Kang, there are less than 500 people in our regiment who can handle guns now. Please be kind and let us take a breather. Our 187th regiment is on the way."
I will think of you all my life!"
"What, there are less than 500 people alive?"
Kang Faru's hand holding the phone shook, and he glanced at Chi Fengcheng aside. Seeing Chi Fengcheng's expressionless face, he turned his heart to the phone and said loudly: "Captain Huang, I understand clearly now.
Let me tell you, I don’t need casualty figures. I just want the position. If the position is lost, you will die together in Xizhuang!"
"Snapped!"
After putting down the phone, Kang Faru turned around and said to Chi Fengcheng: "Master, Captain Huang and the others really fought hard. Why don't we let them withdraw and take a breather."
"Why wait?" Chi Fengcheng put down the teapot in his hand and said sternly: "If they withdraw, where will we find reinforcements to replace them? Now only one-third of the entire Taierzhuang position is left in our hands. If even Xizhuang is also
If we fall, all of us will die."
"well……"
Kang Faru knew that Chifengcheng was determined to coexist with Taierzhuang.
He put down the phone and sat on the ammunition box nearby, sulking.
"Jingle Bell……"
The phone on the table rang again. Kang Faru glanced at the phone angrily and did not answer it. However, a staff officer came over and picked up the phone.
"Hey...this is the headquarters of the 31st Division! Where are you?"
"Sir, I am the garrison on the south bank of the canal. A team of troops has arrived here? They claim to be reinforcements sent from the war zone. They are led by a commander of the 300 Brigade. His name is Su Rui. He wants to meet Chi
The sir is on the phone, look..."
The voice coming from the phone receiver immediately made Chi Fengcheng and Kang Faru's expressions change.
Chi Fengcheng, who was sitting still, threw away the teapot in his hand, came to the phone like a whirlwind, grabbed the microphone from the staff officer's hand and shouted loudly: "I am Chi Fengcheng, please ask Brigadier Su to answer the phone right away.
!”
"Hey... Brother Zhongxin? I am Chi Fengcheng. How many people are here from your department?"
Su Rui's calm voice came over the phone, "Hello, Chief Chi, I'm Su Rui. What I'm bringing now are more than 2,000 people from the 398th Regiment of the vanguard force, a guard battalion and a group of twelve troops.
The artillery battalion of 120 mortars and sixteen 105 howitzers. The remaining infantry regiment, a teaching regiment and the air defense battalion will arrive by train tomorrow morning."
"good very good!"
Chi Fengcheng's voice on the phone was very excited, even with a hint of choking.
"Brother Zhongxin, I owe you a lot this time. Please lead your regiment to reinforce Xizhuang immediately. Their situation is very dangerous! But you have to be careful. The Japanese army in Xizhuang is the 10th Segu Detachment.
The alliance is a very dangerous opponent, especially the poison gas they release. Oh, just pretend I didn't say this!"
Speaking of this, Chi Fengcheng only thought that Su Rui had sent more than 10,000 gas masks to the 31st Division a few days ago. These gas masks have played a big role in these days. If it weren't for these things, Taierzhuang would have been
It fell. And the 300 Brigade was able to send them so many gas masks. Didn't they themselves prepare it?
Sure enough, Su Rui's firm voice from the other side came through the microphone, "Don't worry, Commander Chi, I'm afraid the little Japs might use poison gas? Okay, I'll lead the troops across the river right away. See you later!"
After putting down the phone, Chi Fengcheng swayed for a while. Fortunately, Kang Faru next to him supported him.
"Teacher, are you okay? Why don't you take a rest first?"
"I'm fine, don't worry!" Chi Fengcheng waved his hand to stop him and said immediately: "You call the 187th Regiment immediately and ask him to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army, and tell him that reinforcements from the 300 Brigade will arrive soon.
We don’t need the first position in Xizhuang anymore, we’ll leave it to the 300 brigade to recover it.”
"Yes, I'll call Huang Ziyu right away." Kang Faru nodded, "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
"Well, since the 300 Brigade has brought the artillery camp, they will definitely set up the artillery camp on the north bank of the canal. Tomorrow you will immediately set up a telephone line to their artillery camp position and keep in touch with them at any time. We need artillery now.
There are really too many places for support...and...and..."
As he spoke, Chi Fengcheng's voice lowered. Kang Faru looked down and saw that Chi Fengcheng, who had not slept for three days and three nights, finally let out a sigh of relief and immediately fell asleep when he heard the news of the arrival of reinforcements.
"Hurry up, everyone, keep up."
Suri carried a heavy ammunition box on his back and followed the people in front of him on the floating soil full of craters and debris. The land here had been sifted by artillery fire from both sides, so that the originally hard land not only became pitted, but also pitted.
There is even a thick layer of floating soil. It feels like stepping on clouds. If you are not careful, you will fall down.
Since the weapons equipped by the 300 brigade are semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons, the firepower is fierce and the ammunition consumption is naturally large. Therefore, when they rushed to Xizhuang, each of them had to carry a box of ammunition. Even the brigade commander Su Rui had to carry a box of ammunition.
No exception.
After putting down the phone, Su Rui placed the artillery battalion on the north bank of the canal and rushed directly to Xizhuang with the 398th Regiment. Originally, Lin Shiqian, the leader of the 398th Regiment, advised Su Rui to stay on the north bank of the canal and command, but Su Rui
But he didn't agree with it at all. Su Rui just said: "I want to see with my own eyes the little devil reaping the consequences of his own misfortune, otherwise I will never be willing to accept it!"
Lin Shiqian sighed after hearing this. He knew that this host was really popular.
Xizhuang is located in the northwest of Taierzhuang. Its location is very important. Chifengcheng placed the 187th Regiment, the most capable of the 31st Division, here. After several days of fighting, the 187th Regiment, which originally had more than 3,000 people, now
There were less than five hundred men left. After a day of bloody fighting, both sides were tired. The 187th Regiment had even lost its first line of defense. Now the entire regiment was filled with anger.
However, this fire was extinguished just after the call from the division headquarters. The division headquarters informed them that they would immediately prepare for the defense change with the 300 brigade coming for reinforcements.
After receiving the order, Huang Ziyu, the leader of the 187th Regiment, finally breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to evacuate alive with the remaining brothers.
"Reinforcements are here!" The sentry standing guard in the dark shouted happily back.
As soon as the sentry finished speaking, the officers and soldiers of the 187th Regiment, who had been lying in the trench one by one, got up and looked back. They saw a large group of dark people appearing behind the position, and they were walking along the slope.
Going up, they were all carrying large and small boxes, and the dozens of people at the head were also carrying disintegrated mortars.
Huang Ziyu, who received the news, strode over and said, "Where is your chief? Which officer came for reinforcements?"
Soon, an officer carrying an ammunition box put down the box on his shoulder and said loudly: "I am the commander of this reinforcement, I am the Major General of the 300 Brigade, Brigadier Su Rui..."
The 187th Regiment went down. Before leaving, Huang Ziyu held Su Rui's hand and said with shame: "Sir, I can't help you. I lost the first position today. It's up to you to take it down next."
Got it back."
Soon, after the handover was completed, Huang Ziyu and the remaining 400 soldiers of the 187th Regiment walked out of the position, supporting each other, leaving a shattered position to Su Rui and the others.
Su Rui looked at Huang Ziyu's back and whispered: "Captain Huang, don't worry, no Japanese here can escape!"
