"Tanzuo, it's unkind of you to do this, even keeping it a secret from me. Can I still be a spy?"
Xie Jinyuan was forced to tremble because he watched it for a long time and couldn't see what the show was about in Dragon Boat Festival. It would be boring if even he, the regimental deputy, had to keep it a secret.
Duanwu smiled and said, "What do you want to know? Didn't the little devil get tricked by me?"
"Did you lie?"
Xie Jinyuan was surprised, but at this time Duanwu said: "Didn't I let that Suzuki Santarou back? That one is a variable.
The Botian detachment stopped five kilometers away and he did not dare to go forward. He is afraid that there is an army of Chinese people ahead. Because he already knew about the disastrous defeat of the Chongteng detachment at this time.
The Chongteng detachment had run away with so many Japanese, so it was impossible not to report to him. Moreover, these Japanese military officers would exaggerate in order to shirk their responsibilities.
If they encountered one regiment, they would say it was two regiments; if they encountered one division, they would say it was two divisions. Otherwise, wouldn’t it make you look too incompetent?
And Bo Tian, the old devil, is not just for a living. He knew this group of junior officers, and their reports were somewhat watery.
But even so, he will not rush forward. He will always be waiting for any news about our Yushan garrison. The most important thing is the strength of the troops and who is the commander here.
I am the commander, and it is not difficult for Bo Tian to investigate. Shigeto Chiaki will definitely report to Matsui Iwane.
Therefore, what Botian, the old Japanese, is most concerned about is Yushan's military strength and deployment.
And at this moment, I put Suzuki Santaro back. Let him tell Bo Tian that the army in Yushan is empty.
But that Suzuki is no fool. Although he was blindfolded when he went up and down the mountain, he still took a look at our position. In addition, in order to survive, he would also tell Botian about some situations in the position.
At this time, Old Devil Botian probably had a number in mind. Combining various intelligences, he was sure that there would not be too many troops on Yushan Mountain, and at least one bite would not eat him.
So, he came with his Namada detachment and re-established his position on the position where Shigeto Chiaki suffered a disastrous defeat.
He chose the defensive position before Shigeto Chiaki for two reasons.
Firstly, there is no camp near here that is more suitable for large-scale battles than Shigeto Chiaki's camp. Moreover, the Japanese army is good at fighting plain wars. Because they have planes, cannons, and tanks. In plain areas, they are enough to crush any Chinese army.
The second point is that this Namada thinks he is better than Chiaki Shigeto. He will defeat us where Chiaki Shigeto fell. You can also brag at the Japanese army's combat meetings in the future.
He would say: At the same place, Shigeto Chiaki lost his head, but I, Namada Chuichi, won the battle of Yushan. He can brag about this awesomeness for the rest of his life.
Therefore, the life of a little devil is not important. What is important is how much benefit this chess piece can bring.
By the way, Lao Xie, have you ever played Go? "
Duanwu asked back, Xie Jinyuan nodded. At this time, Duanwu continued: "Writing is like playing Go. One chess piece may be able to stir up the entire battle."
"Tuanzuo, you really know everything about fighting. For such a Japanese prisoner of war, you have played such a big role."
Xie Jinyuan was very impressed. He had not understood it before. It made no sense at all for the regiment to send the Japanese soldier back. Even if the Japanese soldier really conveyed it to Bo Tian according to Duanwu's words, could the old Japanese really believe it?
But unexpectedly, Tuanzuo never thought of asking Botian to trust him from the beginning, but asked him to dare to push forward the last five kilometers.
But, what is the purpose of advancing five kilometers?
Therefore, Xie Jinyuan still said in confusion: "Regiment, the Japanese army has advanced five kilometers, so what? We only have more than 4,000 people. If we want to divide the Botian detachment and annihilate it, I'm afraid it's not possible. ?hehe!"
Duanwu smiled proudly: "Just when you and Zhong Jiushan went out to watch them dig trenches, I made a call to Lao Yang. Reinforcements will be arriving soon. What we need is to delay.
Don't look at it, the Hatada Japanese are pretending to occupy Shigeto Chiaki's previous camp. He didn't dare to come up.
But in four hours, our reinforcements will arrive, making dumplings for the Botian detachment.
Look at where Bo Tian is at this time. There are woods on three sides and Yushan Mountain in the front. As soon as reinforcements arrive, he won't be able to run away even if he wants to.
My proud smile, my proud smile..."
The Dragon Boat Festival started singing again, and Xie Jinyuan had nothing to do with this insane group member. He had never heard of the song, but the tune sounded good.
However, at this moment, Zhong Jiushan came back, bringing many straw men with his troops.
When he saw Duanwu smiling, he asked, "Commissioner, is there anything good you can do?"
Duanwu said: "Yes, you see, the little Japs at the foot of the mountain are here to kill people again. Old Zhong, you are so prosperous now. The 174th Division first annihilated the Chongteng detachment, and will soon annihilate the Botian detachment. This time After the war is over, you still haven’t been promoted to general!”
Zhong Jiushan smiled naively: "Commissioner, just make fun of me. You are the one who started this battle. It was my 174th Division that took advantage of it."
"Where, where, without you, old Zhong, I, the special correspondent, would be helpless!"
Dragon Boat Festival played the emotional card again, and Xie Jinyuan saw nothing good at first glance.
Zhong Jiushan didn't understand Dragon Boat Festival well enough, but he actually believed it to be true. The two complimented each other, and then Duanwu asked Zhong Jiushan how the straw man was doing.
Zhong Jiushan said: Not all people have come back yet, there should be thousands!
Duanwu agreed: "The more, the better. Immediately ask your people to place these straw men all over the position, and place a straw man between the two soldiers."
"Okay, okay, I'll give the order right now..."
Zhong Jiushan ordered his men to place scarecrows according to the requirements of the Dragon Boat Festival, adding a scarecrow between every two soldiers. The entire position suddenly seemed to have doubled the number of troops.
There were some soldiers who complained before, why bother to put some straw men on the battlefield? But at this moment, I felt that this was a wonderful move. Not only does it look like there are more people, but putting helmets on the straw men can also attract the firepower of the Japanese.
Some soldiers even equipped the straw men with guns. Damn it, now they no longer have to worry about little devils shooting them. A group of straw men are standing in front, and they can just hide behind and fire cold shots.
The soldiers smiled, grinning, showing rows of small white teeth.
Zhong Jiushan and Duanwu said: "Special Commissioner, you are really smarter than Zhuge. Once you put this thing on the battlefield, how will the little devil know whether it is true or false?"
"···············"
Duanwu was speechless, because from the beginning, his original intention was not to use it this way. But I don’t want to hit the mark by mistake, the soldiers quite like it.
So at this time, even Duanwu had to admit that he was truly a genius.
But at this moment, a noisy voice came:
"What the hell, do you dare to go with me to see the special commissioner?"
"I'll see you when I see you. Are you afraid of you, you weakling?"
"Damn it, if you were my soldier, I would have killed you long ago."
"Grandpa's gun is not vegetarian either!"
················
At this time, some people were insulting each other, and then a group of noisy people rushed over. It was visually estimated that there were two to three hundred people.
Duanwu looked over, stroking his chin with his hand, not knowing what he was thinking about. But Xie Jinyuan and Zhong Jiushan could not sit idly by. Because the dispute turned out to be the second battalion of the independent regiment and the mixed first company of the 174th division.
The 174th Division suffered very heavy casualties. There were more than 10,000 people in one division. When they reached Yushan, only more than 5,000 people were left guarding the Yushan position.
After last night's battle, the entire 14th Division had even fewer troops, with only about 3,000 men left.
Almost none of the original organizational structure is intact. Therefore, the troops of a battalion were mixed into a company. The company commander's name is Zhao Shitou. He is a forty-year-old bearded man from Guangxi.
Zhao Shitou's bad temper rivals Zhu Shengzhong, the commander of the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment.
And it was these two people who were in conflict.
Xie Jinyuan understands Zhu Shengzhong, and Zhong Jiushan understands Zhao Shitou. So the two people hurriedly ran over to stop the fight to prevent a bloody conflict between the two.
Xie Jinyuan first held Zhu Shengzhong down and said, "Zhu Shengzhong, what are you doing? Didn't the leader of the group say that we must unite well?"
Zhong Jiushan also scolded: "Zhao Shitou, you are causing trouble again. Do you want to get slapped with a military stick again?"
At this time, it was Zhu Shengzhong who was the first to accuse: "This person did not obey the orders of the regiment. Others were beating up people, but his company was sleeping. I went to order them, and they would still beat people. If it weren't for the regiment, If you had the order, I would have killed him long ago."
Zhao Shitou said disdainfully: "Who do you think your regiment is? Seeing the little Japanese reinforcements arrive, you let your brothers run away first and let us stay as coolies. One moment, we dig trenches, and the other we plant straw?"
Digging trenches, I agree, is for life-saving purposes. That of digging trenches is a job for women, and I won’t do it! "
"Who are you talking to? Where is I? I will kill you!"
Zhu Shengzhong was so angry that he raised the muzzle of his gun and tried to grab it, but Xie Jinyuan knocked him aside and snatched the gun away.
Zhao Shitou was not a vegetarian either. He also wanted to hold a gun, but was kicked by Zhong Jiushan. Unlock the gun as well.
Both of them were honest. At this time, Duanwu limped up to act as peacemaker and said: "What are you doing? What are you doing? We are not warlords, so we can't beat people randomly!"
"·············"
Everyone was speechless and thought: Isn't it because of you? Can it be done without you?
But Zhong Jiushan still apologized quickly and said: "Special Commissioner, I was the one who led the troops poorly."
"Master, I'm right. He was the one who let his brother go during the war. And he was the one who gave random orders and wasted the energy of our frontline soldiers. I have never seen such a stupid commander like him."
Zhao Shitou was dissatisfied and shouted loudly. Zhu Shengzhong listened on the sidelines and could no longer suppress his anger. Tuan Zuo was a god-like existence in his heart and no one was allowed to blaspheme. He broke away from Xie Jinyuan's hand and rushed over to hit Zhao Shitou.
Zhao Shitou also opened his posture at this time, both of them had red eyes.
But at this moment, a wooden stick suddenly stretched out in front of Zhu Shengzhong.
Zhu Shengzhong was only two steps away from Zhao Shitou, but he did not dare to move. Because the owner of the stick is Dragon Boat Festival.
Every soldier in the Independent Regiment knows about the strength of Dragon Boat Festival. And especially Zhu Shengzhong, he was beaten several times by the Dragon Boat Festival.
And he knew that the order from the leader was an absolute order. Anyone who disobeys his orders will be shot without batting an eye. Because this is a military order, it must be enforced.
So when he thought of this, he actually laughed, thinking: Why do I care about a dead man? No one dared to disobey the leader's orders. The commanders and regiments of the 40th Division were all killed, not to mention a mere Zhao Shitou of the 174th Division.
And sure enough, Duanwu showed his usual smile.
Everyone in the independent group knows that there are two expressions that cannot appear during the Dragon Boat Festival. One is frowning, which means that the battle is developing in a direction that is not favorable to one's own side. The second one is the Dragon Boat Festival kind of smile that is superficial but not smiling, with a hidden knife in the smile. If he ever smiles like this, you should be careful. He is either out to cause harm or to kill.
So when they saw Duanwu smiling, the soldiers of the independent regiment, including Xie Jinyuan, couldn't help but take two steps back because the regiment was about to perform.
And sure enough, Duanwu's amiable smile suddenly faded, and he asked expressionlessly: "Mr. Zhong, who am I?"
When Zhong Jiushan saw Duanwu's smile suddenly disappearing, he secretly thought something was wrong. He quickly smiled and said, "You are the special commissioner!"
Duanwu said again: "Who does the special commissioner represent? Whose order does the special commissioner's order represent? Your 174th Division is also part of the National Revolutionary Army, and you are also soldiers. And soldiers must obey orders as their bounden duty. But yours The soldiers did not carry out my orders. Commander Zhong, please tell me, what crime did the soldiers of this company commit, and how should they be punished?"
"this,......."
What Zhong Jiushan was most worried about happened. Those who disobey orders on the battlefield will be shot. And the entire company disobeyed orders. Do you want to kill the entire company?
"Special Commissioner, I led the troops poorly. It's all my fault. I will punish them."
Zhong Jiushan's cowardly explanation was that according to military law, anyone who disobeys orders on the battlefield will be shot, and there is no need to even go to a military court.
Zhao Shitou saw the division commander begging for mercy for him in a lowly manner, and his anger returned in his heart. He stepped forward and said: "This matter has nothing to do with our division, nor does it have anything to do with the soldiers of the whole company. I am the one who prevents them from killing people. I want them to be shot." , just shoot me! Twenty years later, I will be a good man again!"
Bang!
Dragon Boat Festival went up and kicked Zhao Shitou in the lower abdomen, knocking him out more than three meters.
Is this so damn injured? Only ghosts believe it. A man with an injured leg kicked an able-bodied man, and a veteran at that, more than three meters away. Even good people can't do this.
But Dragon Boat Festival still uses the injured leg.
It hurts so much!
But Duanwu forgot that his right leg was injured, otherwise he would have used his left leg.
But at this time, it was not the time for him to care about this matter. Instead, he curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Do you think you are a hero? Do you bear it? Do you bear it? Disobeying orders on the battlefield will lead to death. If you You can be shot a hundred times by me, I allow you to negotiate terms with me here!"
The Dragon Boat Festival roared, and everyone present fell silent. Some soldiers even began to regret it. If I had known earlier, I would have stabbed a straw man to deal with the problem. Why bother arguing with a madman? (Because of the strange behavior of the people who cut grass during the Dragon Boat Festival, the soldiers of the 174th Division secretly called them crazy)
Zhao Shitou also had some regrets at this time, because if the Dragon Boat Festival was really true, then the lives of all the brothers in the company would have been harmed by him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shitou was no longer arrogant, and knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "Special Commissioner, this matter really has nothing to do with the teacher and the brothers in the company. It's because I can't bear to see that the war is about to happen. You But he let his brothers go and left us here to die."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhong Jiushan scolded him because he desperately wanted to keep the mixed company and Zhao Shitou.
Although this Zhao Shitou has a bad temper and is willing to cause trouble, he is a good fighter. I have been following Zhong Jiushan for four or five years. If Zhao Shitou hadn't been willing to cause trouble, he would at least be a group leader now.
So Zhong Jiushan really didn't want him to die under the gun of his own people.
He was just about to plead for Zhao Shitou again, but at this moment, Duanwu shouted loudly: "Stand up for me. As a soldier, even if you die, you must die standing up for me. In my army, no one can stand up for me." You are allowed to have the soft-headedness to kneel down for others!”
Amidst the roar of the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Shitou felt as if there was a force in his body, urging him to stand up again.
At this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, he nodded approvingly and said: "Very good!"
After that, he turned around and said to everyone present: "I heard some people talking, saying that I, the special commissioner, let my brother go and gave my brother the green light when the enemy soldiers were pressing down. But I want to ask now, who is my brother?”
"I!"
"I!"
"us!......."
Zhu Shengzhong, Xie Jinyuan and other independent regiment officers and soldiers responded loudly. The sound resounded throughout the Yushan position.
Although Sun Shiyu and others in the distance didn't know what happened, they shouted: "Me! Me! Tuanzuo, and me!"
At the same time, Duanwu looked around and shouted again: "Did you hear it? These are my brothers."
"Then, who are you, Sun Bo'an? Isn't he your relative?"
At this time, Zhao Shitou asked somewhat unconfidently.
Duanwu ignored Zhao Shitou, but stood on a high place and said in his loudest voice: "Sun Bo'an! I lied to you. When I arrived at the 40th Division to supervise the battle, the division commander Liu Peixu wanted to escape and join the Japanese. , was killed by me. And Sun Bo'an was Liu Peixu's brother-in-law.
Without Liu Peixu, how would the 40th Division be commanded? So I lied to Sun Boan and said that I was his third brother and that Liu Peixu committed suicide in order not to embarrass my cousin, the special commissioner, and to allow Sun Boan and other brothers on the front line to withdraw. So he committed suicide.
At that time, the 79th Brigade of the 40th Division had only nearly 5,000 men, but they persisted for a day under the fierce enemy attack.
Wait until the 79th Brigade retreats. There were more than 1,600 people left out of 5,000.
Sun Boan hugged me and cried bitterly. He told me: These people following him are all his brothers. He didn't want to see his brothers die like this.
I said yes, but we have to kill Xie Jiaqiao's Japs.
Sun Bo'an and I killed the Yoshida detachment in Xiejiaqiao and wiped out more than 1,600 enemies.
But the 79th Brigade suffered more than 300 casualties. Including the wounded, more than 400 people were lost.
Sun Boan asked me again, he said, Third Brother, can we withdraw after we have made such great achievements?
I said, brother, you have to be rich if you want to go home! Living brothers need money, but dead brothers also need money?
So he followed me and wiped out the enemy's 38th Regiment outside Changshu City, totaling more than 3,400 people.
In that battle, the 79th Brigade lost more than 300 brothers.
Sun Shiyu begged me, saying third brother. There are less than a thousand of my brothers left. The brothers all wanted to go home and rest in the rear. He said that our military exploits were considerable. The brothers were also tired. After fighting for three days and three nights, they basically didn't sleep.
But I said: Brother! The Battle of Wu Fu took place in Changshu. The battle of Changshu took place in Yushan. Hold Yushan, and I will let you brothers go back and rest in the rear.
But in yesterday's battle, the 79th Brigade once again suffered more than half of its casualties. Sun Boan's last brother was also lost in this battle..."
"Commissioner, please stop talking, I was wrong."
After hearing this, Zhao Shitou couldn't listen anymore and burst into tears.
The same goes for the soldiers around him, all of them choked with sobs. Although it sounds like a liar's confession! ...
