After hearing the neat and loud voices, Li Zhipeng and others not only looked in the direction of the person.
"Zhang Yulin, this kid has two skills. He has trained this group of stragglers in a short time. At least it looks like an elite force." Li Zhipeng recorded this scene in the car It is clear to see that they are all insiders and experienced experts, and there is no such thing as flattering each other for other interests, which is boring.
"Indeed, Brigadier, I always feel that Zhang Tianhai is not an ordinary person. Look at the battle he fought at Suzhou River, and the battle he took the lead in attacking the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters in Shanghai. , it’s not like an ordinary person can fight.” Li Zhipeng’s adjutant Li Zhenggang added that he was also from the seventh phase of Huangpu and had the rank of major, which sounds pretty good, but when compared with Zhang Yulin, that’s Not even close.
I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing goods...
Li Zhipeng nodded and said: "Indeed, taking the lead in attacking the enemy Marine Corps headquarters can be said to be the courage of an ordinary man. The credit of leading the troops can also be attributed to the then 1st Battalion Commander of the 216th Regiment Xiong Xinmin, but Suzhou and Hebei The battle on the shore was definitely not something that a mediocre person could have fought. Two regiment captains were killed and a regiment headquarters was taken away. This cannot be explained by luck. If it weren't for the Suzhou River With all his achievements in that battle, it is absolutely impossible for this kid to be promoted to captain so quickly."
Li Zhenggang nodded in agreement, "Yes, this is the fastest among our classmates in the seventh batch of Huangpu to become the group leader."
"Let's go, let's get out of the car and meet the battalion commander to see what kind of ecstasy drug Zhang Yulin used to cause these troops to retreat to this level so quickly." Li Zhipeng held up his hat and left. After getting out of the car, I didn't forget to pat his general-level woolen coat.
That's right, after being promoted to commander of the 106th Brigade, Li Zhipeng's rank of colonel was also promoted to the rank of major general.
As an officer with the rank of major general, Li Zhipeng also pays attention to pomp and circumstance. However, due to the urgent situation, he only had this guard squad behind him.
Of course, bringing some guards is not just for reasons of pomp and circumstance, but also for personal safety. If you are not afraid of 10,000, just in case there are many traitors or people sneaking into Nanjing city in advance. The Japanese undercover was attacked at that time, which caused great losses to the troops.
Don't mistake major generals for generals, especially generals who graduated from Whampoa Military Academy. Such generals are extremely valuable!
"Sir, Li Chunfei, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, has been ordered to lead the troops to report!" After seeing Li Zhipeng in front of the off-road vehicle, Li Chunfei quickly ran over and stood at attention to report.
Li Chunfei was not a fool. Although he had never met Li Zhipeng, with this off-road vehicle, the security squad, the shining triangular general star on the collar, and the handsome general's coat, who else would he not know? Is it Chief Li Zhipeng?
"Okay! As soon as we arrive, we will take over the defense of Hepingmen and Xiaozhuang Normal School. The handover should be quick and the action must be fast! After taking over the defense, you can come to me to report the situation." Li Zhipeng is not that kind of person. , and immediately issued the task.
"Yes, sir!" Li Chunfei responded.
…
Just five hours before the troops of the Zhiyi Regiment took over the Hepingmen defense of the 216th Regiment, the Japanese troops in Chunhua Town took advantage of the 51st Division of the 74th Army to retreat, and the 87th Regiment newly took over the defense. When the two regiments of the division newly entered the position and the position was not stable, they immediately launched an all-out attack to break through the position and followed the 51st Division to rush to Gaoqiao Gate.
When the Eighty-seventh Division retreated, there was no time to destroy the Seven Bridges Urn and Zhonghe Bridge. Two thousand Japanese troops and more than ten Japanese tanks passed by the Seven Bridges Urn and Zhonghe Bridge, and arrived outside Guanghua Gate at dawn. The Japanese army directly occupied the Tongguang barracks in the campus.
At this time, there were only a few officers and soldiers of the teaching corps near Guanghua Gate. Seeing the emergency, these officers and soldiers immediately closed the city gate tightly, and then immediately moved sandbags and piled them behind the city gate to half the height of the city to block the enemy's attack. Dash.
The Japanese troops outside the city gate immediately pushed field artillery and mountain artillery to the vicinity of Gaoqiao Gate, and then fired at the Guanghua Gate gate.
"Tum!!!~"
"Tum!!!~"
"Tum!!!~"
A series of screaming shells hit the steel gate of Guanghua Gate, and then made an unpleasant sound.
Soon, the gate of Guanghua Gate was blown over by Japanese artillery shells. The opened gate was ripped down alive. The mud and sand poured outwards. More than a hundred Japanese soldiers immediately crawled in between the sand and stones. But what awaited them were bullets from machine guns and various rifles.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
“Tu tu tu tu tu…”
The sound of light and heavy machine guns was also mixed with the sound of rifles firing bullets. The more than a hundred little Japanese were instantly beaten into a sieve, and blood splashed along the sand and gravel towards the city gate. The scene was very bloody for a time.
"Ha Youku! Keep charging, hoo hoo hoo!!!" The Japanese commander outside the city raised the samurai sword high and gave the order to attack to the soldiers around him.
In addition to the Japanese infantry who continued to launch attacks, the Japanese engineers were not to be outdone. They hunched over their bodies, which were not tall enough, and followed behind the Japanese infantry to clear obstacles with an engineer shovel in hand.
The two or three subsequent attacks launched by the Japanese army failed, but the Japanese army did not stop the attack. They received a death order - they wanted to make an emergency landing in Nanjing! (surrender means surrender, not surrender means surrender)
"Master, the Japanese troops outside are shoveling sand. If the Japanese troops finish shoveling all the sand, our city gate will be lost!" Ji Hongru, the new acting commander of the 302nd Regiment, reported to the division commander Wang Yaowu, the original 302nd Regiment. The commander of the Second Regiment, Cheng Zhi, commanded the rear when the troops retreated last night. All the troops in charge of the rear died heroically, including Cheng Zhi.
The officers and soldiers of the teaching corps who had just been taught to close the city gate and block the city gate were not in vain. At least they were waiting for reinforcements from the 51st Division of the 74th Army.
Wang Yaowu frowned, shook his head, and then said to Ji Hongru next to him: "No, this won't work. Ji Hongru, you immediately organize a death squad to rush out, launch a counterattack, and be sure to eliminate this Japanese army outside!"
At this time, Ji Hongru, who was already in a state of embarrassment, and the uniform of the Central Army that he was wearing was already extremely slovenly, straightened his back immediately, stood at attention and reported to Wang Yaowu: "Reporter, I will definitely complete the mission despite my humble position." ! If you don’t complete the task, I will never come back to see the master!"
"Go!" Wang Yaowu waved his hand, but he never said the words "remember to come back alive", because this is a mission that requires death. As long as you lead the death squad up, it will be a mission where death is inevitable!
Looking at Ji Hongru's leaving figure, Wang Yaowu's eyes were a little moist: Every one of these officers who followed him along the way died, and Ji Hongru had been an officer with him for five or six years. He said he had no feelings at all. That is impossible.
This order for Ji Hongru, an old subordinate who had been following him for a long time, to die was given by Wang Yaowu himself. How deep is the relationship between comrades? There was nothing he could do. The country was facing a crisis. If the soldiers were not sent in at this time, when would they be sent in? Because the duty of a soldier is to protect the homeland and the country, their highest honor is to die on the battlefield and return with their bodies wrapped in horse leather!
Because they died on the battlefield against aggression, future generations will remember them, the country will remember them, and the world will remember the blood and tears they paid at the juncture of national subjugation and genocide...
