When the surging shouts stopped, Zhang Tianhai said: "Brothers, as soldiers, our bounden duty is to protect our homes and our country. Have you seen the thousands of lonely and helpless people next to us? We usually eat The common people have not owed us any military pay. Maybe they will say that I, Zhang Yulin, am indecisive, but I always believe that they are our brothers and sisters. They also have family members who have joined the national army. Their family members who have joined the army may be Sacrificed, or separated.”
"But I want to ask everyone, when Little Japan attacks our hometown and homeland, do we also hope that our brothers from the National Army will help and save our relatives?" Zhang Tianhaiton After a pause, he continued: "So we can't leave them behind. If we want to leave, we must take them with us! Do you understand?"
There was silence and silence at the scene. Seeing this, Zhang Tianhai could only wave his hand and said: "Now I announce the battle order. The chariot company and the third temporary battalion will open the way, followed by the fourth temporary battalion, and the first temporary battalion will escort the people. , and will be responsible for rear affairs together with the Second Battalion!"
"Yes!!!" The officers and soldiers on the field responded, including the commander of the tank company and the commanders of the four temporary battalions.
If you follow a real man like Commander Zhang, it doesn't matter if you lose all your troops, it doesn't matter if you die. Death is inevitable for everyone, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. If you are not afraid of death, you are afraid of not dying worth it.
Then, the tank started, a diesel engine sounded, and the nine Kefenberg tanks were divided into three columns and slowly drove forward. This is Germany's most advanced tank, and its forward speed is naturally faster than that of the Japanese army. .
Following closely behind the chariot company were also the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion. Zhang Tianhai thought that he had not misjudged the person with his tricks yet. Chen Yuxiong was by no means one of those people who were greedy for life and afraid of death. He was in front, and then In addition, the soldiers who are eager to break out of the siege will definitely fight to the death, and there is no need to worry about whether they can break out of the siege.
But what Zhang Tianhai is most worried about is the Second Battalion. After all, the Second Battalion is responsible for the rearguard mission. Once the rearguard team collapses, the losses to the entire team will be huge.
Let's not mention Zhou Fangjie's commanding ability. Once the army is defeated, no one can save him.
At this moment, officers and soldiers from two companies ran up not far away. They ran straight towards Zhang Tianhai, and the leader was none other than Wu Guangzong, the commander of the 215th Regiment.
"Captain Zhang." Just when Zhang Tianhai was about to set off with the large army, Wu Guangzong called him.
"What's the matter, Commander Wu?" Zhang Tianhai turned around and asked.
"There are two companies of officers and soldiers behind me, including an infantry company and a machine gun company. The infantry company is a company of the first battalion of our regiment, and the machine gun company is also a machine gun company of the second battalion of our regiment. Our brigade asked me Put these two companies under command. I hope it can be helpful." With that, Wu Guangzong patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder and said.
"Okay. Zhang Yulin would like to thank you all here first." With that, Zhang Tianhai saluted with a bang. After all, this is the highest etiquette of a soldier.
Wu Guangzong immediately returned the military salute and said: "Captain Zhang, I, Lao Wu, will not disturb our march here. Come, this is Zhao Zhixin, the commander of our first company, and this is Li Yuanhe, the commander of our machine gun company."
The two company commanders whose names were called immediately took a step forward, stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, sir!"
Zhang Tianhai was in a hurry at this time, so he glanced at the two of them briefly, and then said: "Two company commanders, please follow me for the time being!"
"Yes, sir." Zhao Zhixin and Li Yuanhe responded.
Having these two organized companies under the command is definitely a good thing for Zhang Tianhai. The combat effectiveness of the organized troops is definitely better than that of the unorganized troops. At least in terms of teamwork, they are much stronger. .
Then Zhang Tianhai said to Wu Guangzong: "The ancients have a saying, never say thank you for a great favor. When I get to Xuzhou, I will have a drink with Brigadier Liu."
Wu Guangzong nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for the good news. Let's go quickly, time is running out now."
Zhang Tianhai nodded, turned around and set off with his troops.
Under the cover of night, groups of soldiers of the Nationalist Army, who were barely neatly lined up, moved forward quickly under the leadership of these Kefenberg tanks. The speed was very fast. The only drawback was that the ranks of civilians were relatively slow.
Perhaps it was because some Japanese troops had already entered the city to fight, so the defense outside the city was relatively empty, so Zhang Tianhai and his party successfully drove to the Qiqiao Urn outside Tongji Gate without encountering resistance.
It is not ruled out that the Japanese army mistakenly believed that this was their troops, so they did not fire and attack.
It was not until the common people and the troops behind the palace passed the Seven Bridges Urn that the Japanese army realized something was wrong, so they hurriedly sent a pursuit team to pursue them first to see what was going on.
"Ha Youku, fast, fast, fast!" Ono Yunyong, the captain of the Japanese pursuit team, ordered his soldiers, and his own pace also accelerated a bit.
Soon, the soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Penetration Regiment discovered the unit behind them, and quickly reported to the company commander: "Company Commander, Company Commander, there are little Japs chasing us behind us."
The company commander frowned and asked, "Approximately how many people are like this?"
"About a small team." The soldier replied. They had been fighting the Japanese army for a long time, and they were probably familiar with the enemy's organization.
After hearing the news, the company commander did not hesitate and immediately reported the situation to Zhou Fangjie, the temporary commander of the second battalion.
"What? They only have a small team and dare to chase thousands of us?" Zhou Fangjie was not someone to be trifled with. After hearing the news, he immediately made a decision: "Let's go, you bastards, kill these people." Little Japan was destroyed by me.”
With that said, Zhou Fangjie immediately took his Second Battalion and went back. This small team, about seventy people, dared to chase after their Second Battalion of more than 700 people? Apart from anything else, even if his battalion did not have heavy weapons, it could still afford to kill a mere seventy people.
For Ono Yunyong, tonight is an opportunity to establish meritorious service. After all, there are not many opportunities to pursue the enemy alone. Besides, where do these Chinese troops have the will to fight? Shanghai was defeated and Nanjing was about to fall into their hands. How could they have a strong will to resist?
Besides, the Chinese army does not have many tanks. If it can bring out so many tanks at once, it is probably because its friendly forces have returned to defend. Ono Yunyong thought.
It's just that ideals are often beautiful, but reality is cruel. When Ono Yunyong led his troops to pursue the Seven Bridges Urn, he found that the troops in front had stopped, so he quickly followed them.
At this moment, a dark cloud blocked the moonlight, making Ono Yunyong unable to see clearly who the other party was. In order to avoid attacking friendly forces by mistake, he could only shout in Japanese: "The troops in front, who are we?" From the army?”
However, Ono Yunyong did not wait for the other party's answer. What he waited for was the bullets of the rifle and the roar of the light machine gun.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Pah, pah, pah..."
The flames of the machine guns spurted out suddenly, mixed with the gunshots of rifles, and immediately knocked down a group of Japanese troops, including squad leader Yunyong Ono. Just when the Japanese troops came to their senses and needed to find bunkers, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army An attack has been launched.
The gap in overall strength was already huge. In addition, half of them were caught off guard at the beginning, and the remaining Japanese troops were wiped out without much resistance.
However, this burst of fighting gunfire was not completely useless. For example, it gave the Japanese soldiers at Tongjimen a wake-up call.
After cleaning up this group of Japanese soldiers, Zhou Fangjie immediately asked the officers and soldiers to bring the guns and bullets of the Japanese soldiers and give them to the brothers who had no bullets. After all, this is a weapon...
