Tong Linge stood on the watchtower and looked at the Japanese positions down the slope, frowning involuntarily.
"Army seat, Army seat, we caught a tongue. These puppet soldiers were pretending to be woodcutters in the back mountains. Damn it, there are usually no woodcutters in this ghost place. Now that there is a war, dozens of woodcutters come out all at once.
Husband, isn't this a lie?" A National Army soldier pushed a man who looked like a woodcutter who was tied up and laughed.
Tong Linge looked at the woodcutter, waved his hand and said, "Relax, tell me which army you are in, how many Japs there are, and what their configuration is. If it's a good idea, I'll let you live. If it's not a good idea," Tong Linge said.
He pulled out the sword of the soldier beside him and threw it on the ground, saying, "If you chop off your limbs and then go back, you are considered a man."
The woodcutter was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and said tremblingly, "Boss, even if I want to chop, I can't chop off the limbs. I said, I said, at the foot of the mountain is a mixed brigade of Taijun Tsuneoka Kanji."
, there are more than 7,000 troops. We have three regiments with 10,000 people. We don’t have many heavy weapons, but there are many mortars and grenade launchers, especially the imperial army. That... no! It’s the Japs. The Japs’ machine guns are
They are densely packed, with a few of them numbering three to four hundred."
Tong Linge kicked him over and cursed, "Damn, you're talking nonsense, but you still have three or four hundred guns. Are these devils all machine gunners?"
The staff officer next to him said worriedly, "Commander, there are only more than 3,000 of us, and only 2,000 of us have guns. We also lack ammunition and even fewer artillery. It is difficult to support this."
Tong Linge smiled and said, "Back then, we were just big swordsmen who dared to fight bloody battles at Xifengkou, and we dared to fight the Japanese for hundreds of rounds. What? Now we are afraid?"
"Who are you afraid of? You're a son of a bitch." The staff officer immediately said anxiously.
Tong Linge laughed and said, "Don't worry, brothers, I have sent Commander Zhao to ask for reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army. I believe reinforcements will arrive soon. Let's hold on for a few days and wait for our brothers from the Eighth Route Army to arrive. We will cooperate inside and outside to put these things together."
The little devil is here to be used as fertilizer, what do you think?"
"Okay!" "Okay!" "Okay!"
Listening to the cheers of the three armies, Tong Linge nodded, left the watchtower, and whispered, "Let the regiments come for a meeting."
Soon, all six regiment commanders gathered around, and another division commander, Zheng Dazhang, also came over.
"Brothers, everyone has seen the situation. We are outnumbered and outnumbered..." Tong Linge sighed and said.
Zheng Dazhang suggested, "Military seat, otherwise let my cavalry be the vanguard and break out of the bloody path. Let's break out."
Tong Linge shook his head and said, "No, the Japs are outnumbered. Even if we rush out, there won't be even one out of ten."
A regiment leader said, "How about we attack at night? At night, there is no difference if there are more people than fewer people."
Tong Linge touched his chin and nodded and said, "This is a way, but the Eighth Route Army..."
Zheng Dazhang said impatiently, "Although the Eighth Route Army fought well in Yixian County, now that the Japanese soldiers are approaching the border, they themselves have been driven to pieces. How can they still have the strength to control us?"
Tong Linge shook his head and said, "Just one day, just one day, the Japanese army will definitely guard against our night attack when they arrive. Moreover, since we sent Commander Zhao to ask for help, it is really inappropriate to withdraw without even waiting."
"Boom!" "Bang" and "Da da da"
Suddenly, as if something opened from east to west, fierce gunfire burst into the conference room.
"What's going on?" Tong Linge stood up and asked.
"Military seat, Japs, Japs have attacked. There is at least one brigade, and our people are so suppressed by the Japs' artillery that they can't even lift their heads." A soldier hurriedly ran in and reported.
Tong Linge and others looked at each other, and Tong Linge shouted, "Go back to your troops quickly and go to the front line to command. We must block the Japanese attack!"
Tong Linge came to the fortifications, picked up his telescope and looked around, and saw that the Japanese artillery was extremely fierce. Although they were all mortars, they were extremely accurate and rarely hit outside the fortifications. They only fired for a while.
Then I saw the Japanese army starting a surprise attack. The Japanese infantry formed a triangular formation with a grenade behind. As long as there was fire counterattack, the grenade would hit in just a few seconds. In less than half an hour, Tong Linge's machine gun point was over.
Half of it was knocked off.
"Damn it, the firepower of this enemy is too strong, and it seems to have been specially strengthened for fighting our mountain warfare." Zhao Dazhang came over angrily and shouted, "Military seat, let my cavalry charge, otherwise we will support you."
It won’t be long.”
Tong Linge sighed and asked, "I want to know why it is so difficult for us to fight the Japanese army, but the Eighth Route Army can win every battle? You all say that the Eighth Route Army has good equipment, but I think it is not just that.
..."
"Military seat, telegram, telegram from Commander Zhao." A communications soldier came over and said happily. Everyone already knew that Zhao Dengyu went to the Eighth Route Army to find reinforcements. Now that there is a telegram, isn't this sure to have a good result?
Zhao Dazhang widened his eyes and asked, "What did Mr. Zhao say?"
Tong Linge glanced at it for a few times, then immediately walked back and said, "Everyone, hold on, we must not let the Japs go uphill. The commanders of each regiment will assemble, and the deputy commander will be responsible for commanding. Anyone who loses their position during this period will be killed!"
The commanders of each regiment ran back to the headquarters. Looking at Tong Linge with a happy face, they all understood that there was good news. One of the regiment commanders asked, "Military commander, is there good news?"
Tong Linge nodded and said, "Commander Zhao has already contacted the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army is willing to come to rescue us and has also proposed an idea. Come and take a look. The Japanese and puppet troops in front of us now number 20,000. Now there are 38,000."
The Route Army is about a day's journey away from us. They will send one or two elite regiments to help us break out. Then we will lead the Japanese to Yugudong, where there is the Juma River that can be used. The mountains on both sides are high, so we can
What do you think of being condescending and giving the Japanese a hard time?"
"Thirty thousand...but the Japs won't listen to us. What if they don't come?" asked a group leader.
Tong Linge shook the telegram and said, "It's also said in it that if the Japanese don't come, we can be rescued anyway. That's enough. To fight against the Japanese, it doesn't take a day and a half."
Hearing what Tong Linge said, everyone else put their hearts in their stomachs.
Tong Linge stood up and said, "Order the troops to fight in two shifts, hold on until night, and wait for the friendly forces to attack before breaking out. If you don't come today, you will come tomorrow. You must persist! Who wants to drag me down at this time? I am the first
Don’t let him go!”
——Kowloon Town
Chen Geng looked at Li Long and Wang Jinshan who were about to start a fight. He couldn't help but feel a little headache and said, "Are you two finished? I'm asking who will come to the rescue. I'm not asking you two to act like a monkey here."
Zhang Guangbei stood up, saluted and said, "I'm willing to leave my humble post. Tong Linge's department was originally a local army, and we have a lot in common with our department, which was originally a Shanxi-Sui army. If we go, we can better gain the trust of the other party. At the same time,
, my department failed to achieve great success because of someone's slow performance, and I hope General Chen can give him a chance."
Chen Geng glared at Li Long and said with a chuckle, "What Brigadier Zhang said makes sense. Let's do this. I'll ask Li Long to help you, and you can take care of him for me. If he doesn't obey, you come back and tell me, I
Let him go to the quilt factory to make quilts for two months first."
"Brigadier, my legs are a little uncomfortable." Li Long stood up immediately and shouted.
"I saw that you and Wang Jinshan were quite capable just now. Didn't you feel comfortable? You'll feel comfortable just walking! That's it. Let me tell you, if Tong Linge doesn't rescue him, just wait and see."
Chen Geng ignored the depressed Li Long and began to deploy an ambush.
On the way, Li Long looked at Zhang Guangbei who was smiling next to him with a suppressed expression. Seeing Li Long like this, Zhao Gang couldn't help but said, "What are you doing? You are staring at Brigadier Zhang. I don't know what he thinks you have something to do with him."
I have a deep hatred."
Li Long grabbed Zhao Gang and said, "Don't joke with me. I'm holding back my energy. Let me tell you, don't look at that bastard-looking face of Guangbei. He looks at me from time to time. As long as I smile at him."
, he will definitely say that I am flattering, and then come over with a bad face, hum, I will not be fooled."
Zhao Gang touched his head and said, "This...it's not that big of a deal."
"Isn't that enough? Look, he's looking at me again, hum! I just want to tell him that although I obey his command, it's impossible for him to see my smiling face!" Li Long looked complacent.
He said with a smile, but he was afraid of being seen by Zhang Guangbei, so he walked with a straight face.
"Old Li, come over here. Let's discuss who will be the main attacker. How about you come over?" Zhang Guangbei suddenly shouted to Li Long.
Li Long's eyes lit up, his mouth was filled with teeth, and he ran over jumping up and down. He smiled at Zhang Guangbei and said, "My Brigadier Zhang Da, what did you just say? My main attack? Let me tell you, haha,
You have to say what you say."
Zhang Guangbei looked at the adjutant with such a look and said, "Yes, I thought about it and wanted to rescue people. Artillery first. I remember that there is an artillery talent in your regiment. I think I will combine my artillery with yours."
How about forming a team and putting that person under unified command? Then your army will attack first and our army will take the rear."
Li Long patted Zhang Guangbei on the back and said matter-of-factly, "I also think this is how it should be. Don't worry, I promise to rescue Commander Tong completely."
Li Long returned to the army happily. After talking about this matter, he said to Tian Jie, "I didn't expect that I have taken advantage of you. Okay, give me a good fight and don't embarrass me."
Tian Jie said cheerfully, "Commander, just watch it. I promise to use artillery to create a path for you."
Li Long became anxious when he heard this: "Grandma, how many shells will be fired according to your method of attack? You are a bastard, don't you feel bad? I tell you, the mission must be completed! Save these shells for me too."
Use it! Do you understand?"
Tian Jie immediately saluted and said, "I understand."
--late at night
After a day of fierce fighting on Yesanpo, Tong Linge looked longingly into the distance, hoping to hear some sound.
"Military, tell me, are the Eighth Route Army really coming? They're not lying to us, are they?" Zhao Dazhang said with some suspicion.
Tong Linge's eyes were firm and huge, "It will definitely come. Don't forget, Brother Zhao found this for us. I can rest assured that he is here."
"Military seat, telegram, incoming telegram." The signal soldier suddenly stood up and said.
Tong Linge took the telegram, read it, and said with a smile, "That's great. The Eighth Route Army has arrived at the designated position and told us to be ready to break out as soon as the cannon fires."
Zhao Dazhang picked up his saber and immediately asked for help: "Let my people be the vanguard. I promise to fight a way out."
Tong Linge nodded and said, "Okay, your troops will take the lead. This is being watched by the Eighth Route Army. If we don't fight well, we will go out and never be able to raise our heads again. Therefore, this battle must be
Fight well!"
In the village, everyone was nervously preparing. It was midsummer, and they didn't need to bring much. Most of them were just packages. In order not to be discovered by the Japanese army, everyone was specifically asked not to speak, and anyone who made loud noises would be killed.
Li Long looked at the time, nodded, and said to Tian Jie next to him, "Start!"
Li Long and Zhang Guangbei's combined sixty or seventy mortars were arranged by Tian Jie into three teams, and they fired one after another. The shells continued to fall into the Japanese camp like meteors, and fireballs exploded one after another, many of them
The Japanese soldiers who were still sleeping lost their lives in a confused way.
With the extension of the artillery, Shen Lang led his troops and rushed into the Japanese position. The position of the Japanese rear army was a pseudo-legion. It could not resist the wolf-like Eighth Route Army. In less than ten minutes, it was defeated and defeated.
.
In the stronghold, Tong Linge, who saw the artillery fire, said with great joy, "Here we come! Zhao Dazhang, the cavalry is clearing the way. Everyone, charge with me!!" As he said that, Tong Linge rode a horse and rushed beside Zhao Dazhang.
The few artillery pieces in Tong Lin Pavilion let out their final roars, and Zhao Dazhang's two to three hundred cavalry roared and rushed to the Japanese fortifications. The nooses accurately caught the antlers set by the Japanese army.
Zhao Dazhang's youth was exposed and he shouted "Get up!" He pinched the horse's belly hard, and the antlers flew high in an instant, and the black cavalry quickly rushed into the Japanese position.
Kanji Tsuneoka, who was sleeping in the tent at this time, was completely awakened. He hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out. Seeing the artillery fire everywhere behind his position, he shouted in fright, "What's going on?
Is the Eighth Route Army behind us?"
A staff officer hurriedly ran over and said, "A large number of Eighth Route Army troops appeared behind us. They have broken through the 113th Regiment of the Imperial Association Army and are attacking Qianqi Brigade. In addition, Tong Linge's troops have also rushed out and are joining the opponent. See
It’s been a long time coming.”
Tsuneoka Kanji hurriedly looked both ways, and said fiercely, "You must block it for me. You must not let Tong Linge escape again."
"The military seat can't be charged. The enemy's firepower is too strong. Half of our cavalry has been destroyed." Zhao Dazhang rushed to Tong Linge's side covered in blood and said.
"Damn, there are more and more Japs. We can't go on like this. Everyone, charge with me! Even if the whole army dies in battle, they will fall on the way to charge! Kill!!" After Tong Linge finished speaking, he held a hand in one hand.
With a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, he was the first to rush forward.
Zhao Dazhang saw Tong Linge rushing in front and hurriedly followed behind. The others followed closely and continued to rush towards the Japanese position.
