Soon, the telegram was sent back to Xue Yue.
Xue Yue smiled bitterly while holding the telegram, and said: "It seems that the commander-in-chief really doesn't want to let him go...that's all...let's talk about it later!"
…
As soon as the camera turned, it moved to an unknown mountain col.
I saw gunshots ringing out all around, and a group of national soldiers wearing goose-yellow military uniforms escaped in embarrassment.
The leading officer also had a face covered in black and gray. It was obvious that these were troops who had withdrawn from the frontline battlefield... Oh no, to be more precise, they were troops who had escaped!
"Run... brothers... don't stop, or the kid will catch up soon!" The leading officer said while breathing heavily, but his steps did not stop.
I saw tears in the eyes of these officers and soldiers, but their steps still followed the pace of the platoon leader.
If anything was strange, it was only the bags they carried on their backs, which seemed to be larger than those of other troops.
There were only about ten people left in their battalion. When the battalion commander finally died for his country, he said to them: "Save some seeds for the second battalion..."
If not for this, they would have died on the battlefield long ago!
Yes, this is the battlefield north of Shahe Town where Xie Yongning's 108th Regiment is stationed!
Under the bombardment of Japanese aircraft and artillery, the Second Battalion persisted for two days and two nights, and finally suffered all casualties.
This unit of only a dozen people was the last member of the Second Battalion that defended from that mountain col!
Just when they were heading to Shahe Town, they had just cleared away the grass, and several rifles were pressed against their bodies. At the same time, they said: "Stop! What are you doing?! Which army are you from?!"
The platoon leader looked at these neatly dressed but high-spirited comrades in front of him, tears could not stop flowing out, and his voice was choked: "Brother, we are from the 2nd Battalion of the 108th Regiment..."
"Are you from the Second Battalion? Aren't all your troops guarding the Beishan Col? Why did you come back?" A leading soldier asked. Unconsciously, the alertness was much lowered. Apparently, he is a monitor.
"Second Battalion... Second Battalion is all gone...including Commander Yan, who also died for his country... Please let us see the regiment quickly! What these brothers are carrying on their backs are the family letters of those brothers who have sacrificed their lives... ..." After saying this, the platoon leader finally couldn't help but squat down and burst into tears.
The brothers behind him couldn't help but shed tears. They were a group of people who felt the same.
"Sir, please show me your ID. This is what our commander stipulates." When the squad leader said this, he did not forget to squat down and help the platoon leader in front of him.
…
It didn't take long for the defeated unit to arrive in front of the regiment leader Xie Yongning.
"What are you talking about? The second battalion has been wiped out, and only a few of you are left? Yan Yong also died on the front line?!" Xie Yongning seemed to be unable to believe his ears.
"Yes, regimental commander. Before he left, Commander Yan asked me to give you a message. He said that he did not regret being your soldier. He also said that the second battalion was worthy of the country and the nation, and the subordinates were worthy of the people... " said the platoon leader.
Xie Yongning took a deep breath, and then said: "I understand, you take the troops and have a good rest. If we can survive this battle, I will make you the company commander, and you will give me the backbone of the second battalion." get back!"
"Yes! Regimental seat!" The platoon leader stood at attention and saluted Xie Yongning, and the soldiers behind him also saluted.
After the dozen or so people from the Second Battalion retreated, Xie Yongning said to the Chief of Staff: "Old man, it seems that our situation is not optimistic... The Japanese army has already captured Beishan Col. If they capture Songshan, they will be able to defeat them." Arrive at Shahe Town."
"Leader, to be honest, you don't need to be too pessimistic. Our division is already guarding this place, and reinforcements from four divisions are rushing towards us. I'm afraid they won't be able to hit Shahe Town. , it will be a decisive battle with the main force of our army." The chief of staff said with confidence.
"Hopefully!" Xie Yongning was obviously not that optimistic. Although the four divisions had many troops, the premise was that Shahe Town could be defended. The sacrifices of all the brothers in the 108th Regiment could not be in vain.
The most appropriate description is the famous saying of Zhou Weiguo in "Snow Leopard": "My soldiers can die in battle, but they cannot pay the price because of the commander's stupidity."
How is it actually done? The Japanese advancing troops not only reached Shahe Town, but also reached Ma'anshan and Jinjiashan areas. Bloody battles were being fought around these places.
Compared with other places, the Chinese army obviously has an advantage in such a battle in the mountains - at least the Japanese cavalry regiment cannot play its due advantage. When the artillery regiment chooses its position, , and you can't do whatever you want like in the plains.
Although the Japanese Matsuura Division is a reserve division, it benefited from the "reputable reputation" of the Sixth Division, so the top brass of the Japanese army also had high hopes for this unit, including the division commander Matsuura Junrokuro, who was dispatched from Central China An old subordinate of Army Commander Shunroku Hata.
In fact, after the Japanese 106th Division entered the Central China battlefield, it has always been a main force of Okamura Ningji's 11th Army. It has always taken the lead in attacking Anqing and Hukou, and its record is also excellent. Very brilliant.
It is precisely because of this that Okamura Neiji was so confident that he allowed this unit to go deep into Nanxun Road alone. Even if the 1st Police Regiment wanted to cut off the retreat of the 106th Division, Okamura Neiji did not let Okamura Neiji I was worried about the safety of this unit, so I just sent a forward unit of the 101st Division to save Jiujiang instead of asking the 106th Division to return reinforcements.
The Japanese troops that appeared in Shahe Town, Ma'anshan, and Jinjiashan this time were all troops of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army. They opened up multiple fronts, which shows that their confidence has expanded.
At this time, the area north of Shahe Town, Ma'anshan, and Jinjiashan were all involved in fierce fighting. The fighting was extremely enjoyable and the sound of killing was loud.
…
Time passed by one day, and the battle still continued.
But at this moment, the camera must turn to Nanchang.
The headquarters of the First Corps is still located in the luxurious compound but the city walls have been completely removed.
"Yao Jie, your troops are almost in position now, right?" Xue Yue looked at Li Yutang, commander of the Eighth Army.
"Commander-in-Chief, our army has only dispatched one division. This division is almost in place. I assure you that our Eighth Army troops will never embarrass you!" Li Yutang stood at attention and saluted. He promised emphatically.
"This time, the Japanese Matsuura Division is moving south. Our army must seize this opportunity to hit them hard. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to encounter this fighter again." Xue Yue sighed, and everyone saw him Xue Laohu He has a brave and courageous side, but I have never seen him be cautious when walking on thin ice.
The enemy is currently strong. As a commander, every mistake may cause fatal losses. The higher the position, the more serious the consequences will be if a mistake is made!
Especially in this kind of war against foreign enemies, we need to pay more attention to it in many cases!
