"After all, although we were puppet troops before, we are still professional soldiers."
When Ruan Tong said these words, Wei Yunzhe and Guo Yongbiao looked at each other and smiled.
Wei Yunzhe said first: "My brother is a major of the National Revolutionary Army."
He's actually just a captain.
And it was only promoted this year.
However, probably because he has been Master Meng's subordinate for a long time, he has somewhat contracted the problem of bragging.
As you move up a level, your face should look better, right?
Guo Yongbiao said matter-of-factly: "I am a colonel of the National Revolutionary Army!"
Ruan Tong really didn't expect it.
These two spies were actually from the regular army?
"Brother, we used to be in the national army." Wei Yunzhe smiled and said: "I participated in the Battle of Songhu. In the battle, none of us are cowards!"
"That's done, see you on the battlefield!" Ruan Tong saluted with a straight military salute.
"See you on the battlefield!"
Wei Yunzhe and Guo Yongbiao returned a military salute at the same time.
On this battlefield, there is no distinction between regular troops and spies.
They only have one name in common:
Chinese!
…
The war entered a tragic state on the first day.
The Japanese are determined to win.
Although the first two charges were repelled, they had basically figured out the situation on the opposite side.
Average fighting ability.
Among them, many are not regular troops.
The only position with strong defense is the right position outside Danyang City.
Although the left position was under successive attacks and the defense intensity increased after the opponent sent in reinforcements, it was still chosen as a breakthrough by the Japanese.
Kondo Yohei’s judgment was correct.
The battalion commanded by Ruan Tong became the right-hand position in Danyang.
When they were still the appeasement army, Wang Puppet Government equipped them with sufficient weapons and ammunition.
And training can also be fully guaranteed.
So Ruan Ying is still relatively capable.
On the left is the Loyalty and Salvation Army.
They had almost never engaged in such a large-scale frontal battle with the Japanese.
Most of Guo Yongbiao's people were professional soldiers. The problem was that there were only fifty people who came with him.
The number of people is really too small.
Reinforcements must now wait until reinforcements from all parties arrive.
The original plan was that reinforcements of 450 people from Jurong should have arrived.
Was it delayed by the Japanese army on the way to reinforcements?
…
"Quick, quick!"
Guo Zhenxian screamed at the top of his lungs.
He was Guo Yongbiao's nephew, responsible for commanding a force of 450 people, and quickly provided reinforcements after the Danyang uprising.
However, they met a group of Japanese troops who were also reinforcing Danyang on the way and had an encounter.
Guo Zhenxian had to fight and retreat at the same time.
"Captain, ahead is Zhuge Village!"
"Have you sent someone to contact you?"
"We have been contacted. Zhuge Village welcomes us very much. Let us pass by first, and they will be responsible for stopping the Japanese army!"
"What?"
Guo Zhenxian wondered if he heard wrongly?
Let a group of villagers stop the Japanese army?
…
"Folks."
Zhuge Zheng, the head of Zhuge Village, said: "Danyang has revolted. Now, some national army officers and soldiers are passing through our village, and the Japanese are chasing them. We have been angry with the Japanese for long enough, what should we do?" "
"Listen to the village chief, listen to the village chief!"
The villagers shouted.
"Sure, listen to me."
Zhuge said sternly: "We are all descendants of Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. We are a branch and moved all the way from Shu to here. Our surname is Zhuge, we can't embarrass our ancestor Wuhou!"
"Village chief, leave it to me."
The speaker is named Zhuge Xi. He used to be a soldier and is now the captain of the so-called self-defense force in Zhuge Village.
Such self-defense forces planned by the Japanese can be found everywhere in occupied areas.
However, such self-defense forces are often won over by the military commanders or the guerrillas of the Workers' and Peasants' Party.
Zhuge Village is not big, and the number of people is not large. In addition, Zhuge Zheng is good at sociability, so on the surface, it seems that the relationship with the Japanese is not bad.
Major Ryo Ichimaru from a nearby county was also a fan of the Three Kingdoms. He admired Zhuge Liang the most in his life and always liked to call Zhuge Zheng over and ask him to tell Zhuge Liang's stories.
Therefore, Zhuge Village has not been harassed for such a long time.
Moreover, even the weapons of the Self-Defense Forces were provided by Ryo Ichimaru.
There are only seven people in the Zhuge Village Self-Defense Force, and Zhuge Xi is the captain.
When Zhuge Zheng heard this, he said: "Okay, you quickly take the people and guns to the south tower, and I will greet the national army officers and soldiers!"
The so-called South Tower was built in 1913. It is close to water and has a seven-story reinforced concrete structure. It is a fortress made of steel and iron.
The south building has iron doors and iron windows, gun holes on each floor, and an observation deck on the roof.
Even more advanced, there are generators and searchlights in the south building.
This fortress was originally built to guard against bandits and rebels.
Later, it became idle.
Now, the south building can finally be put to use again!
…
There were seven people entering the south building:
Zhuge Xi, Zhuge Yu, Zhuge Chang, Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Yao, Zhuge Bing, Zhuge Nong!
These people were only trained by Zhuge Xi and had never fought in a battle.
But they don't know what kind of miracle will be created here!
…
"move."
"The Japanese will come up soon." Guo Zhenxian was a little uneasy: "You have a self-defense force here, let us go without firing a shot..."
"Don't worry, sir." Zhuge Zheng said anxiously: "We have a solution. Who said we won't shoot? I will show you in a moment!"
"Then, please!"
Guo Zhenxian was anxious to reinforce Danyang and did not dare to stay here for a long time.
"Village chief, the Japanese are coming, the Japanese are coming!"
"Quick, tell the folks, run as far as you can! Come back after the war of resistance is won!"
Zhuge Zheng glanced towards the south tower.
Son, I can't help you anymore.
My uncle is the village chief and he has to take care of the whole village!
…
"Move forward quickly and reinforce Danyang!"
Ryo Ichimaru gave the order with a livid face.
The Japanese and puppet troops advanced by land and water.
Some of them were in boats, preparing to rush through.
But at this moment, gunshots suddenly burst out from the south tower.
The Japanese and puppet troops on the water were caught off guard, and three ships were hit instantly.
The enemies jumped into the water to escape.
The gunfire from the south building never stopped.
Nearly a hundred people were killed or drowned by this enemy!
Ichiwan Ryo was stunned.
How come the Chinese people who were so submissive in his eyes suddenly opened fire on the imperial army?
"Bagaya road!" Ryo Ichimaru shouted angrily: "Occupy Zhuge Village within ten minutes and kill them all!"
…
There was cheering in the south building.
Victory in the first battle.
They never expected that in their first battle, they would kill so many enemies in one go!
"Don't just be happy, don't just be happy."
Zhuge Xi is still very experienced:
"Get ready, the Japanese are about to attack!"
This is October 10, 1940, exactly 1:01 p.m.
The defensive battle for the South Tower of Zhuge Village started at this moment!
