Chen Xiaohu is a squad leader of the 1st Battalion of the 66th Regiment. For him, it took him five months to become the squad leader, which is not a happy thing.
Because during the war, squad leaders were also considered cadres, and the price for becoming a cadre was to experience countless deaths and narrow escapes.
So, this is not something to be happy about.
Chen Xiaohu's squad has already suffered more than half casualties. Now he has to lead this squad with incomplete personnel to fight the Japanese invaders to the end.
"Squad leader! Qi Wa is dead, and so is Gao Leng. Now there are only five people left in our squad, how can we carry them?" A relatively strong soldier ran to Chen Xiaohu and said.
"You have to carry it if you can't bear it. The worst case scenario is death." Chen Xiaohu said in a strong southwest mandarin. Judging from the accent, he should be from southwest Hubei, close to Chongqing.
With that said, Chen Xiaohu took up the loaded rifle in his hand and shot a Japanese invader who was charging ahead.
After a shot passed, the Japanese soldier fell down, but soon, one of Chen Xiaohu's comrades was also shot.
"Little Japan, I'll fuck your ancestors!!"
The army officers and soldiers were cursing angrily, and the battle was already heating up.
…
Personal sacrifice will not change the overall situation on the battlefield that has become an established fact.
The national army finally failed due to factors such as its own weakness. After sacrificing nearly a battalion of the 66th Regiment, the 66th Regiment withdrew from Gutang Town.
Gutang town fell.
At this time, more than half of the 66th Regiment was dead or wounded.
The fall of Gutang Town made Jiujiang also in danger.
The location of Gutang Town was too close to Poyang Lake, and the terrain was not particularly conducive to defense, so it was eventually lost.
Then under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the Chinese army finally fell in Jiujiang County after holding on for a day and night.
The troops of the Sixty-fourth Army withdrew from the front line in groups one after another, and most of them were wounded and looked in dire straits.
"Sir, the Japanese army has entered Jiujiang. Our troops have suffered so many casualties that I'm afraid the follow-up operations will be unsustainable!" the Chief of Staff of the 64th Army said to Li Hanhun next to him.
I saw that Li Hanhun didn't seem to be in a very good mood at this time. After all, he had lost the battle.
Standing on the side of the fairly busy road, Li Hanhun said slowly: "It's not the first time we have lost a battle, but what I have been thinking about is when can we win a decisive victory."
"Sir, don't worry! I believe that day won't be long ago." The chief of staff said solemnly.
"It can only be said that there is hope... Now in the Jiujiang area, the only unit that can truly be called an elite unit may be Zhang Tianhai's regiment. What is the strength of Wang Jingjiu's unit? It remains to be tested. Let it take its course. Naturally!" Li Hanhun sighed.
At this time, it was already the evening of July 25, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China.
…
The camera returned to the headquarters of the 1st Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone, Jijia Village.
Zhang Tianhai learned of the fall of Gutang Town and the fall of Jiujiang County immediately.
No, because of the fall of Jiujiang County, the police area in the north of Lushan Mountain became the first choice for the Japanese army to attack. Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but treat it with caution.
The smoke in the headquarters at this time was caused by Zhang Tianhai and others smoking inside, but there was no ventilation equipment.
"Regiment leader, what should we do now?" Chief of Staff Li Yinglun looked at Zhang Tianhai, after all, the latter is the backbone of this regiment.
"What should we do? We have mobilized a lot of troops in the past two days. The three battalions stationed in Lushan have been mobilized. The cavalry battalion can also be formally put into battle. Counting the troops directly under the regiment headquarters, we can basically mobilize six battalions. combat troops. But there are still too few people..." Zhang Tianhai sighed.
Before Li Yinglun, Guo Qiliang and others could speak, Zhang Tianhai pointed to the location of Jiujiang on the map, then pointed to the location of Jijia Village, and said: "Now the Japanese invaders occupy Jiujiang County, if they want to launch an attack on us , it’s a matter of time, now we just want to see if our opponent wants to occupy Lushan.”
Zhang Tianhai knew very well that after the Japanese troops occupied Jiujiang, the next military deployment was to seize control of the Nanxun Railway.
However, the troops heading to the Nanxun Railway were only the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, and the entire Eleventh Army was not committed.
Then the question arises, after the Japanese 106th Division moves south to De'an, how will the position of their 1st Police Regiment be positioned? Should we follow him to De'an, or continue to garrison in Lushan?
This is still an unknown quantity.
If we were stationed alone in Lushan, would we have to face the siege of a brigade or even a division of the Japanese Eleventh Army? But don't forget, the Xingzidui side will also be the focus.
If the Japanese army had not opened a gap in the hands of Wang Jingjiu's 25th Army in Xingzipu, there is no doubt that these Japanese soldiers would target the police regiment stationed north of Lushan Mountain.
Judging from the current strength of the First Police Regiment, not to mention a division, even a brigade would be able to wipe out Zhang Yulin's modest strength.
It's not that Zhang Tianhai is timid, but that the responsibility on his shoulders is too heavy.
From the perspective of a bystander of history, Zhang Tianhai would definitely say the following: The main force of the Japanese 106th Division went to De'an, but was beaten to a bloody head in Wanjialing. The entire unit was almost wiped out. If you don’t join in the excitement, are you still a human being?
But from the perspective of the leader of the first police regiment, Zhang Tianhai cannot afford to lose.
The first police regiment is now strong and strong, with more than 6,000 armored men. If they are not careful at all, this powerful national army elite will be ruined - as the saying goes, with greater ability comes greater responsibility.
"But our team, many times, our plans cannot keep up with changes. Just like the series of military combat plans you made a few days ago, they were not used." Guo Qiliang persuaded Zhang Tianhai. He saw Zhang Tianhai with his own eyes. The plans were made, but due to the fierce offensive of the Japanese army, these plans had no time to be implemented.
Therefore, Guo Qiliang could only watch Zhang Tianhai burn all the military combat plans at hand.
Listening to the truth from Guo Qiliang's mouth, Zhang Tianhai felt powerless from the bottom of his heart - the development of the battle situation was ever-changing. He was originally just a small company commander, but now he holds thousands of There are so many differences among the commanders of soldiers.
The police group is, to put it bluntly, just a pawn in this huge game.
At the same time, this is a chess piece that neither side can ignore. The key lies in combat effectiveness. This is a strengthened regiment that can defeat a Japanese regiment...
If the troops placed in Jiujiang are insufficient, then the Japanese army will lose Jiujiang again after spending a lot of effort to capture it.
To put it bluntly, as long as the police regiment continues to be deployed north of Lushan Mountain, it can seriously threaten the Japanese army's flanks and rear flanks.
The Japanese army understands, and the Chinese army certainly doesn’t understand!
