Seeing that it was almost dawn, the Japanese sentry put his hands into his coat, walked a few shivering steps, then turned to the stove made of oil barrels, took out his hands, and enjoyed the long-lost warmth. He heard in his ears When he heard the sound of dead branches falling to the ground in the nearby woods, he did not look back. The Japanese army had already beaten the Chinese army and was unable to fight back. It must be the sound made by small animals. He was reluctant to leave the warm stove to check, but he could no longer He had no chance to look, and something cold crossed his throat. He wanted to shout in fear, but unfortunately he could only make a sound of air flowing. A pair of strong hands supported his limp body from behind, and quietly I put him on the ground and waved to the woods. More than 30 Chinese soldiers walked out quietly. Each of them held two strange-shaped pistols in their hands. It was my kind of submachine pistol, the one beside the oil drum. The captain made a gentle gesture, and they slowly walked to the side of dozens of tents. Captain Song Xiaopeng pointed his submachine pistol at a tent and suddenly shouted: "Hit." More than 60 submachine pistols opened fire at the same time, with great momentum. Shockingly, the roaring bullets punched dozens of holes in the tents. The sleeping Japanese soldiers were still dreaming of conquering China and were sent to the west. Some awakened Japanese soldiers rushed out of the tents and were quickly shot to death. The firepower of the Chinese army that came to attack was too fierce. This is what a survivor said when the Japanese army came to investigate afterwards, "It seemed like dozens of machine guns were firing. We didn't even have time to fight back, and we were all shot down. The captain of the group was He was killed by bullets fired from three directions. I was also injured and passed out."
Song Xiaopeng did not let the soldiers clean the battlefield. He ordered the soldiers to stuff grenades into the muzzles of dozens of mountain cannons nearby, set them ablaze and then withdrew from the battlefield. After a burst of explosions, all the mountain cannons of the Japanese brigade were blown up.
After the daylight dimmed, the Chinese defenders on the Linyi city wall heard bursts of dull artillery fire. A veteran cursed: "Damn, the Japanese got up very early and started shelling again so early." A soldier next to him said : "That's not right, Lao Li. The sound of the artillery seems to be coming from our side. Look, those shells exploded on the Japanese side." Lao Li looked carefully: "Really, it's not Asia. It's our artillery, hahahaha." Old Li danced on the city wall: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming." The news of "reinforcements" spread throughout Linyi City like lightning, which greatly cheered up the joy that had been suppressed for a long time. Optimism is spreading all around.
The chief of staff hurriedly opened the door of Pang Bingxun's room. Pang Bingxun had just laid down. He had not slept all night and was about to take a nap. He looked at the door displeasedly, wondering who was so bold.
"Commander." The chief of staff was so excited that he couldn't say anything. Pang Bingxun was shocked and thought, why did the Japanese enter the city? He hurriedly put on his military uniform and sat up, "Speak slowly, don't be anxious, what happened?"
The chief of staff ran to the table, drank a bowl of herbal tea, and relaxed his mood: "Commander, reinforcements, reinforcements, the 59th Army is here." "What?" Pang Bingxun jumped up in excitement and walked back and forth in the room several times. Circle: "It's really the 59th Army. Zhang Zizhong came to save me?" Pang Bingxun still couldn't believe it. The chief of staff had completely regained his composure at this time: "Yes, the 59th Army has just launched an attack on Itagaki Seishiro's division. Listen, the sound of the artillery is their artillery shooting at the Japanese positions." Pang Bingxun hurriedly came outside the house. , listening to the rapid fire of artillery, "Okay, Zhang Zizhong is a real man. I'm sorry for him. After the battle, I will definitely apologize to him." The chief of staff nodded repeatedly: "Commander, shall we also come from the city together?" Fight out and cooperate inside and outside." "Yes, let's cooperate inside and outside. Let's go, let's go to the headquarters." Pang Bingxun picked up the chief of staff and left.
"Water." The wounded man in his sleep suddenly screamed, and the drowsy Zhao Dabao woke up. He licked his chapped lips and faintly felt the smell of blood. He shook his body kettle, and crawled over the bodies of several wounded soldiers. No one still had water in the kettle, "Water." Another wounded soldier expressed his desire for water. Zhao Dabao was so anxious that a thin layer of sweat broke out on his head. He walked gently to the entrance of the basement. There was a rumble of gunfire from above, but there was no familiar explosion. Zhao Dabao hurriedly ran When we arrived on the ground, the first thing we saw was a few soldiers on the tower happily waving the national flag with the blue sky and white sun all over the ground.
Zhao Dabao climbed up the tower and asked the soldiers doubtfully: "Brothers, what are you doing?" One of the soldiers turned back and said: "What, little brother, you don't know yet, the 59th Army came and the Japanese escaped. Now, we are holding Linyi." Zhao Dabao still couldn't believe his ears. He picked up the wall bricks and looked into the distance. Sure enough, troops were advancing rapidly, and hundreds of carriages and cars were pulling ammunition and supplies. Dozens of cannons followed the advance, and infantry and cavalry continued to come up from the rear. On both sides of the road they advanced, dozens of Japanese plaster flags were scattered on the ground, allowing the Chinese soldiers to trample on them. Zhao Dabao shed tears of excitement. He received the water from the battalion headquarters and ran back to the basement with joy. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Comrades, the 59th Army is here." The wounded turned their heads to him one after another, with expressions of surprise and joy on their faces. "59th Army." "The real reinforcements are coming." Zhao Dabao was busy distributing water to everyone. The wounded were all in high spirits, as if they would be cured tomorrow. The lifeless basement was filled with life. Not only this basement, but also the entire The city of Linyi has regained its vitality.
Pang Bingxun personally commanded all the troops of 2 divisions and 4 regiments to rush out of Linyi City and hit the flanks of the Japanese Itagaki Division. The Japanese army was suddenly attacked by the 59th Army and felt exhausted, just like a boxer who was hit in the face by an opponent. on, and then was severely hit by Pang Bingxun's right fist. The artillery commanded by the commander of the Yamazaki Brigade was attacked by the Chinese special forces brigade. All the artillery was blown up. It was unable to fight back against the Chinese army's artillery preparations, and the Yamazaki Brigade When they entered the battle, they were in an offensive posture and did not repair the defenses at all. After being raided, they hurriedly switched to defense and suffered heavy damage. The commander of the Yamazaki Brigade had received a snowflake request for help from his subordinate troops. Yamazaki angrily The report fell on the adjutant's face, "Asshole, what kind of troops came out of the Chinese army to attack us, have you found out?" "Report to the brigade commander, your Excellency, the ones attacking us are Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army. They The artillery of our artillery brigade was eliminated in advance, and our army temporarily fell into chaos." "Yamazaki-kun," Itagaki rushed in angrily with a big belly, "Your incompetence has completely embarrassed me, you Are you a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy? I guess which field school you came from?" Yamazaki stood respectfully in front of Itagaki: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have to regretfully tell you that you must immediately join my brigade commander. We must evacuate here. The Chinese army will attack soon. Maybe in 5 minutes, the Chinese artillery shells will fall." Itagaki said angrily: "Yamazaki-kun, I deeply doubt your command ability. I will immediately make a suggestion to the Commander of the Front Army to replace you when I get back." Yamasaki sweatdropped immediately, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, regarding this attack by the Chinese army, I was indeed negligent. Please give me a chance. , let me make up for my mistakes, and I will repay you well, but for now, please evacuate this village with me." "Okay, Yamazaki-kun, let's talk about it when we go back." The headquarters of the Yamazaki Brigade hurriedly They withdrew from Huangzhuang, and even Itagaki did not expect that they actually withdrew 90 miles, and they did not gain a firm foothold until they withdrew into Ju County.
Groups of Chinese infantry surrounded villages one after another under the cover of artillery from the rear. The Japanese army hurriedly occupied the villages for defense. Most of the Japanese troops followed their commanders and retreated to Juxian, Yishui line, and Itagaki. Another brigade was assembled to block the Chinese army's offensive with the cover of tanks and aircraft. However, the Chinese army had to digest the more than 1,000 Japanese troops surrounded in Jiuqu Town and built a defensive position in front of Ju County. The attack stopped.
Pang Bingxun personally went to the front line of Jiuqu Town to command operations. More than 5,000 people from his three regiments surrounded the Japanese army. One regiment of the 59th Army also obeyed his command to fight together. Pang Bingxun was determined to fight a large-scale annihilation war and appeared in front of the people of the country. Showing his prestige and setting an example for the local army, he commanded the troops to attack in an all-out manner, attacking everywhere and causing the Japanese troops to flee. The Japanese troops hurriedly occupied the town and had no time to build defensive positions. They could only rely on houses to fight. The terrain was unfamiliar and they were beaten everywhere. Song Xiaopeng's special forces brigade had already entered Jiuqu Town, taking advantage of the Japanese army's unpreparedness, and eliminated dozens of Japanese soldiers one after another. All of their special forces brigade were sharpshooters, and they shot headshots, leaving the Japanese army at a loss and confused. . With their cooperation, more than one battalion of Army officers and soldiers rushed into the town and started a house-to-house fight. The long-handled grenades of the Chinese army exerted great power. The Japanese troops were bombed, crying like ghosts and howling, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Chinese officers and soldiers tied up many grenades to increase their power. Every time they blew down the house where the Japanese troops were guarding, the Japanese troops hiding inside were smashed into pulp. The Japanese troops who ran outside the houses were quickly eliminated by the dense rain of bullets from our troops.
