"This, this," Chen Zifeng also started to stutter, "Director Zhao, how can our army hold on until tomorrow! I have been waiting for so long! I finally waited for such an opportunity! You can't let me give up in vain!
Look, Mr. Yoshikawa, he walked all this way in handcuffs! He was even hit with rocks! He didn't say a word! He just believed that I had this chance! Mr. Yoshikawa, don't you think so!" Chen Zifeng turned around and glared.
Yoshikawa.
Yoshikawa looked at him inexplicably, not understanding what he meant at all.
Chen Zifeng then remembered that Mr. Yoshikawa couldn't understand anything when Liao Ruolan was not here!
29-31
In the room opposite, Liao Ruolan sat uncomfortably on a chair.
There was another uncomfortable person next to him, that was Xiao Ancheng.
He had been standing in front of the window, looking out of the window helplessly. He didn't want to see the way Ruolan looked at him! He knew without looking that it was a look of hatred and sorrow! This look made him heartbroken!
Qiao Yanfang sat next to Liao Ruolan, glanced at Xiao Ancheng, and then at Liao Ruolan beside her. She could see that the distance between them was getting farther and farther!
She whispered: "Sister, wait patiently! I guess I have to wait until night anyway!"
Liao Ruolan glanced at her and couldn't say anything. She didn't know what the outcome would be tonight!
Xiao Ancheng finally couldn't stay any longer. He walked out silently and walked out of the military headquarters gate.
29-32
The situation outside the military headquarters gradually made Xiao Ancheng suspicious.
He saw some soldiers bringing firewood and dead branches and stacking them against the walls at both ends of the military headquarters, forming two large piles as high as one person.
He glanced at Director Zhao who had just walked out and asked casually: "What are they doing?"
Zhao Mingjin smiled at him and said, "It's probably firewood for cooking."
Xiao Ancheng could tell that she was not telling the truth! Why should the firewood for cooking be piled on the street? However, after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure out what they were going to do.
However, one thing he could see was that Director Zhao was probably a very evil person! These two piles of firewood must not have been prepared in vain!
He looked at the sun in the sky and knew without looking at his watch that it was about ten o'clock in the morning! It was still very early!
The action planned by Chen Zifeng using Mr. Yoshikawa could not be realized until night!
However, the distant sound of gunfire indicates that the attacking Japanese army is near Zhangcun! They will attack here at any time! If the Japanese army arrives early, the operation planned by Chen Zifeng will fail!
29-33
No one can imagine how fierce and cruel the fighting around Pinglu County was on this day!
The various units of the Fourth Army were struggling desperately under the Japanese artillery fire and attacks! They were resisting!
Their contact with their superiors has basically been cut off! Although the students of Lin Jiatai and Qi Xuanyi are running around desperately, the battle situation is unpredictable, and the troops are advancing and retreating, making it difficult to contact them!
All the troops are actually fighting independently! Their purpose is very simple, just to protect Pinglu County! Only by protecting Pinglu County can they have a place to survive! In other words, this day's battle is a battle of survival!
If we don't fight, they will all die!
29-34
Cypress Cliff, the position of the 47th Independent Brigade.
Two days ago, with the support of Kong Congzhou's 46th Independent Brigade, Brigadier Wang Zhenhua led the remaining troops to withdraw from Cilingou!
Along the way, they were constantly being chased and intercepted by the Japanese army, and they barely had time to breathe! They finally retreated to Zhangyu Village on the bank of the Yellow River! Once there, there was no way to retreat!
Brigadier Wang had no choice but to lead his remaining troops to break out of the encirclement to the north. After a fierce battle, they finally reached Cypress Cliff!
Cypress Bluff was not their defensive position! They were just being attacked here!
Brigadier Wang was seriously injured, and the battle was mainly commanded by Deputy Brigadier Feng Erge (Communist Party)!
The battle lasted until dark. Although the Japanese attack was suspended, they had no ammunition and had only eaten one meal in two days! All the soldiers were tortured by exhaustion and hunger and could not move! They could only look at their commanders silently.
Brigadier Wang took Feng Erge's hand and sighed: "The Japanese army will attack again tomorrow, and none of the hundreds of people left will survive! Tell the brothers to spread out and hide, and try to survive! Wait until the battle is over.
, let’s get together again!”
Before Brigadier Wang finished speaking, tears were already streaming down his face!
Deputy Brigadier Feng nodded silently. He quietly arranged to send Brigadier Wang to a farmhouse to hide, while the other soldiers withdrew from their positions separately, hiding in ravines or in people's homes.
He made an agreement with the soldiers one by one to meet again after the battle!
29-35
Wulongmiaogou, the position of the 46th Independent Brigade.
Kong Congzhou Brigade is the same as Wang Zhenhua's Independent 47th Brigade. Wulongmiaogou is not their defensive position! They only attacked here to cover the 96th Army's breakout!
Commander Li Xingzhong led a large number of military non-combatants and only a small number of guard troops. Their life and death depended on the protection of the 46th Independent Brigade!
It was in this area that they were surrounded by Japanese troops from three sides!
During this day, they once retreated to Pinglu County! But they were unable to protect the county! As a result of the discussion between Commander Li and Brigadier Kong, they could only break out to the north! But they had no idea what was going on to the north!
At night, a man named Tong Dinghao came to the battlefield and found Brigadier Kong, willing to lead the way out of the encirclement!
Brigadier Kong asked and found out that Tong Dinghao was from the Sacrifice League!
"Mr. Tong, how did you find us?" Brigadier Kong asked.
"We have been keeping an eye on the mountain. We said in the meeting that when the national army is in trouble, we must help!"
"Where are you taking us?"
"Go to Dongche Village first."
"There are no Japanese troops there?"
"Yes, but not many! Sir, you have to work hard to win!"
That night, Brigadier Kong concentrated the machine guns of the entire brigade at the front of the team, ready to attack at any time. The personnel of the 96th Army followed behind.
Commander Li gave a strict order: Whoever falls behind will be a prisoner of the Japanese!
Tong Dinghao first guided them to Dongche Village, where they encountered a Japanese artillery squadron and a small group of puppet troops.
Brigadier Kong's anger that he had been holding back for several days suddenly burst out! He fired a gunshot, and all the machine guns in the brigade suddenly fired! More than a dozen machine guns fired fiercely, beating the small Dongche Village into a cloud of coyote smoke!
The troops rushed in! Then, countless grenades were thrown at them. After a fierce attack, they finally eliminated this enemy!
They captured more than a dozen mountain cannons, but unfortunately they couldn't take them away, so they had to remove the gun bolts and push the cannons into the ravine.
Brigadier Kong commanded the troops to pass through the village and attack northward!
However, the 96th Army has a huge goal and a large number of non-combatants. It is not easy for them to break through the encirclement!
Brigadier Kong Congzhou ordered Zheng Peiyuan's 738th Regiment to split up to block the Japanese army and cover the military headquarters' breakout to the north!
29-36
Zhang Zifu's First Battalion fought fiercely in Zaohua Village, north of Pinglu, to block the Japanese advance!
The Japanese army received a strict order from the commander of the Ushidao Division to destroy this national army! Their machine guns and mountain cannons fired fiercely! Then they launched a fierce attack on Battalion Commander Zhang's position!
The current battle situation was tense, and Battalion Commander Zhang did not dare to fight. He commanded the troops to fight and leave! Finally, the Japanese army was led in another direction!
29-37
Zhang Shaofei's Second Battalion blocked the Japanese army at Shakou Beach in the west!
There is a dirt cliff outside Shakoutan Village. The troops are condescending and prevent the Japanese troops from passing on the dirt road under the cliff!
But the Japanese artillery fire was so fierce that it collapsed the cliff, and many soldiers fell off the cliff! They emerged from the soil and fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese troops who rushed up like natives!
Fortunately, the machine gun on the cliff played a key role and barely stopped the Japanese attack!
Although Shakoufan blocked the Japanese army until dark, Zhang Shaofei's second battalion suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to retreat at night!
29-38
Ji Pu's third battalion blocked the Japanese army at the last ditch of the entire army! The battle here was the most brutal!
The Japanese troops chasing after them were the main force of the 20th Division, with powerful firepower and extremely fierce combat effectiveness! The Japanese troops chasing from Zaohua Village also crossed over and completely surrounded the third battalion of Commander Ji!
Ji Pu's Third Battalion had no way to retreat and had to fight to the death! The Japanese troops rushed to the position, and the remaining soldiers of the Third Battalion also raised their bayonets and fought the Japanese troops desperately! There were more and more Japanese troops, with almost three or four Japanese troops surrounding a national soldier.
!Just a few minutes later, everyone in the third battalion from Camp Commander Ji on down was killed, and no one survived!
Zheng Peiyuan's 738th Regiment suffered huge losses! The regiment leader Zheng Peiyuan was injured in the leg, and the deputy regiment leader Li Muyu (communist) carried him on his back. At dawn, they were captured by the Japanese army!
Fortunately, thousands of non-combatants from the 96th Army finally followed Kong Congzhou's 46th Independent Brigade and rushed into Zhongtiao Mountain under the cover of night! After several turns in Zhongtiao Mountain, they finally breathed their last.
One breath!
29-39
Nancun, the position of the 529th Brigade.
The 529th Brigade fought hard for two days in Bandu'ao, then retreated to Dalang Temple, and today they returned to Nancun. They were constantly besieged by the Japanese army along the way, and they didn't even have time to breathe! The troops suffered heavy casualties and were extremely exhausted!
Brigadier Yang Juetian looked at the map and frowned. To the east is Pinglu County! Their mission is to protect Pinglu County. How can they lead the Japanese army to Pinglu! To the south is the Yellow River! Once you reach the Yellow River, there is no way out! To the west
There are powerful enemies chasing them on both sides and the north! They have almost nowhere to go!
Brigadier Yang, deputy brigade commander Ren Gengsan (communist), chief of staff Tong Lusheng (communist), as well as the commander of the 1057th Regiment Chen Yiping (communist), and the commander of the 1058th Regiment Jia Zhenzhong (communist) had an emergency discussion together
.
The result of their discussion was that they had no choice but to make a desperate move, hold on until dark, and then break out to the north!
For the officers and soldiers of the 529th Brigade, this day is the most difficult day!
The Japanese attack was like candy, stuck to the position and unable to be defeated no matter what!
Jia Zhenzhong, commander of the 1058th Regiment, saw clearly that if the Japanese attack could not be repelled, it would be difficult to hold on to the position!?
