It was precisely because of the order of Gao Yinhuai, commander of the 183rd Division, to seize the time that the 183rd Division gained the upper hand in this encounter.
Because when the Japanese troops came over, the 183rd Division had already captured most of the villages north of Lienfang Mountain.
Xiaoguanzhuang is an unknown village north of Lianfang Mountain.
This place was originally an unknown place, but because the headquarters of the 183rd Division was established here, it suddenly became extremely lively.
The headquarters of the 60th Army has followed the 182nd Division to the front line, and is still retreating, so this naturally became the frontline headquarters of the 183rd Division of the 60th Army.
Gao Yinhuai, the commander of the 183rd Division, was standing inside the division headquarters. He was very restless. You could tell by his appearance. He had his hands behind his back and kept walking back and forth inside the division headquarters.
The telegrams were beeping, and none of the telegrams sent back were about the encounter on the front line, which made Gao Yinhuai even more anxious.
This is the first battle after the Yunnan Army leaves Yunnan. This is not only related to the reputation of the Yunnan Army in the future, it is also related to the situation on the front line.
The 60th Army Headquarters of the Yunnan Army is a new force and one of the few Type A armies in the country, and its combat effectiveness is guaranteed.
More than 45,000 people from the 60th Army left Yunnan and came to fight in Taierzhuang, thousands of miles away. These troops were peasant soldiers recruited by Long Yun in Yunnan. After four or five years of long-term training and armed There are a large number of foreign weapons, and the quality of the officers is relatively high. It can be said that among the military-level units, the combat effectiveness of the 60th Army is among the best, and can even be compared with the three German National Guards before the Anti-Japanese War. Mechanics compare.
However, that's just everyone's guess. If it's a mule or a horse, wouldn't you know if you pull it out for a walk?
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. This first actual battle since the Anti-Japanese War is undoubtedly a test of the Yunnan Army's combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Gao Yinhuai and others could not help but not pay attention to it. If this battle was fought well, not only would the reputation be improved, but there would also be achievements to be made, and maybe he would be promoted.
Gao Yinhuai is relatively tall, with a tall figure of more than 1.8 meters. He does not look like the standard southern figure of this era at all. His whole person looks murderous, especially his thick eyebrows. Look. He looks like a very capable fierce man.
The dark blue military uniform worn on his body made his figure appear more upright.
"I don't know what the situation is like on the front line. Which regiment fought with the Japs' troops. Is it the 1081st Regiment or the 1082nd Regiment?" Gao Yinhuai murmured to himself, obviously It looks like I have no idea.
Not long after, an officer ran in, panting heavily, and reported in a panic: "Division Commander, it's not good. Pan Shuo's end of the 1081st Regiment on the front line is with, with the enemy." Encountered in Chen Wafang, the fighting has now become fierce to the point of hand-to-hand combat, and we have suffered heavy casualties!"
"We have suffered a lot of casualties. What is the situation of the enemy? How many troops have they come?" Gao Yinhuai asked the most critical question at once.
"Division Commander, we don't have a clear picture of the enemy's troops at the moment, but they have heavy weapons such as cannons and tanks. Based on our current rough guess, there are probably more than 2,000 enemy troops." The officer who came to report He said somewhat breathlessly.
"With only more than 2,000 men, the enemy already has artillery troops, plus tank troops. This is obviously impossible! The enemy's strength is at least one regiment!" Gao Yinhuai immediately denied the frontline's judgment.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Yinhuai said to the combat staff beside him: "Pass my order and telegraph immediately. Pan Shuoduan, commander of the 1081st Regiment, must defend Chen Wafang, fight for every inch of land, and fight the enemy to the end! No!" After receiving an order, you will never be allowed to retreat without authorization! Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished according to military law!" Gao Yinhuai said very seriously.
"Yes! Division Commander!" said the combat staff officer next to him.
…
Chen Wafang front line.
This was originally a quiet village with many brick and tile houses. It looked like it should be the kind of village with a little wealth.
However, the peace and tranquility of the past has long since disappeared, leaving only the loud shouts of killing, the smell of blood floating in the air, and the residual smell of gunpowder smoke.
The officers and soldiers of the 1081st Regiment of the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army here.
"I am your ancestor! Little Japan!!"
A Yunnan soldier held a rifle with a bayonet in his hand and stabbed forward violently. He didn't even care about the bayonets stabbing him nearby. This was a life-threatening move. Anyway, it was We must kill a damn little devil no matter what!
Sure enough, after the soldier inserted the bayonet into the enemy's body, three bayonets pierced into his body.
The severe pain made him cry out in pain, and then his whole body became numb.
After all, he is an ordinary person, not a god.
The ferocious Japanese soldiers did not stop their fighting. After pulling out the bayonet inserted into the soldier's body, they started to kill other national soldiers.
Blood continued to gush out from the wounds of the Yunnan Army soldier. His eyes were gradually darkening, and finally his slightly thin body fell heavily to the ground as if he had lost his strength.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Yunnan to bring our baby. Let's give birth to a good child in our next life and be husband and wife again, because in this life, we may never be able to do it again..." The Yunnan soldier The soldier was mumbling to himself. Finally, not long after, he slowly closed his eyes and passed away...
"Battal Commander! Battalion Commander! The enemy's offensive has become more and more fierce. If we continue killing like this, I'm afraid all the people in our battalion will die!" A company commander ran to the side of the battalion commander Yin Guohua and reported.
Yin Guohua gritted his steel teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Even if we are all dead, we can't withdraw! If we become deserters, even if we return to Yunnan alive, how can we have the face to face the elders in Central Yunnan?! Give me my order and continue to charge! Fight to the death and never retreat!!"
"Yes! Battalion Commander!!" The company commander responded. The Yunnan Army is famous throughout the country for its strict military discipline. If you retreat this time, you will probably be shot by the division commander even if you return alive!
Besides, if everyone retreats, I’m afraid this country will perish!
As a result, the Yunnan Army troops, which were already at a disadvantage, were led by battalion commander Yin Guohua, who was born in the Yunnan Jiangwu Hall, and repeatedly charged and killed the enemy, dealing a very heavy blow to the enemy.
However, only one person from Yin Guohua's battalion came back alive in the end. Almost all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the 1081st Regiment, from battalion commander Yin Guohua down, died, and the entire battalion was wiped out.
However, after almost all the officers and soldiers of the battalion including Yin Guohua died heroically, the Japanese army occupied the entire village of Chen Wafang, and the war continued.
