Chapter 531
"Damn it!" Chang Kaishen said in a hatred, "Why is it so slow? What is the Northwest Transportation Bureau doing?"
In order to cope with the Suiyuan crisis, Chang Kaishen temporarily established the Northwest Transportation Bureau, which is specifically responsible for transporting the ash.
At the same time, Chang Kaishen also recruited a convoy from the Southwest Transportation Administration to transport materials from Chongqing and other places to Wuyuan.
However, due to the long distance, the combat materials sent from Chongqing and other places will take at least half a month to reach Wuyuan.
Chen Bulei sighed lightly and said, "Because the Japanese dispatched long-range bombers to bomb the Hexi Highway, most of the trucks of the Transportation Bureau lost."
Chang Kaishen fell silent when he heard this.
After all, the national strength is still too weak.
If the Party and the country have a strong air force, why does this happen?
It seems that Wuyuan's defense ultimately depends on the Sui Army.
After a moment of silence, Chang Kaishen turned his attention to Bai Jiansheng and Liu Fei: "Jiansheng, for Zhang, with the existing grey, can the Sui Army build a solid enough defense line?"
"No." Bai Jiansheng and Liu Fei shook their heads at the same time.
Liu Fei continued: "The transported grey is only enough to build a line of defense. To defend the Wuyuan, at least three or more anti-tank defense lines need to be built."
Chang Kaishen's face became more and more embarrassing, and he asked again: "Then how many days do you think the 94th Brigade of the Imperial Palace can last in Datong?"
"Chairman, I'm afraid I won't last for a few days." Bai Jiansheng sighed and said, "To be honest, it has already surprised me that the 94th Brigade of the Independent Ninety-Fourth Brigade has been able to persist in Datong until today. However, the Independent Ninety-Fourth Brigade is just a brigade after all, and it is already the limit to hold on to today. If nothing unexpected happens, I will probably abandon the city and break through the siege in the morning."
As soon as Bai Jiansheng finished speaking, another communications consultant from the three groups of servants hurried in.
"Chairman!" said the communications consultant, "The 94th Brigade sent an urgent telegram to request a breakthrough."
"Look, I just said they couldn't hold on." Bai Jiansheng spread his hands and said, "Sure enough, I can't hold on."
"No, no breakout!" Chang Kaishen was immediately angry and shouted sternly, "It is said that he would hold on for ten days, not even ten days, not a day, and order them to continue to guard!"
"Yes." The communications consultant was stern.
...
Datong, a small western-style building in the south city.
The small building has collapsed halfway, obviously it was blown up by heavy artillery from the Japanese army.
However, the remaining half is still very strong, and the command headquarters of the 94th Independent Brigade of the Central Army is located here.
Seeing Zhu Jiahua coming out of the inner room, Duan Rongqing, Shi Zhaowu, Xie Zhiyuan and other regiment commanders, as well as deputy chief of staff and artillery battalion commander Guo Guanying immediately looked over.
Everyone has hope.
Only Liang Gang still bent down and came close behind the observation hole to observe the movements of the Japanese army opposite.
The telegram requesting a breakthrough was unanimously requested by senior officers such as Duan Rongqing. Although Liang Gang opposed it, he did not act too dictatorial. Instead, he allowed Zhu Jiahua to send a telegram to the attendant's room, requesting a breakthrough.
Originally, Duan Rongqing and the others thought that the attendant's office would agree to break through, because they had been in Datong for six days and nights, facing nearly 100,000 Japanese troops with less than 7,000 troops of a brigade, and held on for six days and nights. Has there ever been such a precedent since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War?
So they felt that the attendant room would definitely agree to their breakthrough to preserve this elite army!
However, when they saw clearly the expression on Zhu Jiahua's face, their heart immediately sank into the bottom of the valley.
The hopeful look on the faces of his colleagues made Zhu Jiahua feel heartbroken. He wanted to bring them good news and good news to the brothers in the whole brigade, but the cruel reality shattered all fantasies.
"No." Zhu Jiahua endured his heartache and gritted his teeth and said, "The principal must keep Datong for ten days with strict orders!"
"Fuck!" Duan Rongqing punched the door frame with a heavy punch, making a bang, and the rough skin ruptured instantly and blood flowed down instantly, but Duan Rongqing was unaware of this.
Shi pulled away the submachine gun in his hand and said, "Stop talking about anything, fight."
Xie Zhiyuan sighed, silently put away the photos of his wife and children, carefully put them in his top pocket and flattened them. Goodbye, my beloved wife, goodbye, my child.
"Flute!" A sharp whistle sounded.
Then came a shrill long howl: "The Japanese are attacking!"
Liang Gang finally stood up straight from the observation hole and said expressionlessly: "Everyone returns to their respective command positions. The artillery battalion will launch the last wave of shells in five minutes. This time, all the shells can be shot."
"The artillery bombardment is over, and the entire brigade will fight the assault and restore the original position,"
"Turn the Japanese back to the north gate, the west gate and the positions near the east gate."
"Yes!" The three team leaders and Guo Guanying agreed.
...
Ten kilometers west of Datong City, there is a ditch called Laofengou.
To the east of Laofengou, there is a mountain called Mawu Mountain, which is almost the highest mountain within a radius of dozens of miles of Datong. From the top of Mawu Mountain, you can clearly see the entire Datong City.
The Wolf Warrior Brigade and Fan Guangou's cavalry company were hidden in the old grave ditch.
Wang Ye actually wanted to be closer to Datong, but he really couldn't do it.
Because further forward is the uncovered Datong Basin, and at this time the entire Datong Basin was filled with Japanese and puppet troops. More than 50,000 Japanese troops and more than 20,000 puppet Mongolian troops completed the encirclement of Datong from the north, west and east directions. There were also a large number of puppet Mongolian military cavalry outside the south gate. If you go further, you will definitely be discovered by the puppet Mongolian military cavalry.
At this moment, Wang Ye took Wei Dayong and Fan Guangou to lie on the top of Mawu Mountain, watching the battle situation of Datong through a telescope.
Looking at the rows of heavy artillery, groups of tanks and cavalry that were unfolding outside Datong City, Wei Dayong had no feelings, but Fan Guangou was inevitably a little shaken in confidence.
"Chief of Staff." Fan Guangou asked in a low voice, "Do you think our Eighth Route Army can really win the War of Resistance?"
"Dog, what are you talking nonsense?" Wei Dayong glared at him and wanted to teach Fan Guanjia a lesson.
"Get out of here." Wang Ye pushed Wei Dayong away because he could fully understand Fan Guanzuo's mood.
Although Fan Guangou is already a veteran of many battles, he is only eighteen years old after all and just becomes an adult.
Suddenly I saw so many tanks, trucks, heavy artillery, and thousands of puppet Mongolian cavalry. It was abnormal to have no mood swings like Wei Dayong.
I don’t know how many veterans betrayed the motherland and the nation on the eve of victory.
Therefore, it should not be normal for Fan Guanzuo to experience confidence shaking.
The only thing Wang Ye has to do now is to strengthen Fan Guan’s confidence and make him believe that China will definitely win the victory of this war and win national liberation.
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Of course, we can win this war of resistance."
After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "We will not only win the War of Resistance Against Japan, but will also defeat the Kuomintang, win the revolution in China, and then build a new China."
"New China?" Fan Guangou's eyes were indeed shining again.
"Chief of Staff, what kind of new China will this new China be?"
"This is the new China." Wang Ye Youran said, "There will never be any landlords, and you will never have to pay imperial grains. Everyone can eat a full meal, everyone has clothes to wear, every household can afford meat, the children can carry their schoolbags to school, there are wide roads everywhere, there are many cars on the road, almost every household has a car, and there is still an hour to run a train of two or three hundred kilometers. Get on the train from Peking in the morning and get off at Shanghai at noon."
"We will also have a powerful navy, and the sea is covered with our warships."
"We will also have a strong air force, the sky is full of our planes, and the vast planes."
"Our army will become extremely powerful. No need to marching like now. Each squad is equipped with a tank and arrives at the battlefield with a tank. We will also have artillery strong enough to make the enemy desperate. Just a wave of firepower can cause destructive damage to the enemy's deep positions..."
Not only Fan Guangou, but Wei Dayong was also fascinated by his longing.
Who wouldn’t yearn for such a new China? Yes?
However, the sound of gunfire from Datong City quickly brought Fan Guangou and Wei Dayong back to the cruel reality.
The three of them raised their telescopes almost at the same time. Through the telescope's vision, they could clearly see a dazzling red light suddenly blooming in the streets and alleys in the center of Datong City and the edge of the southern part of the city.
"This is the artillery of the 94th Brigade." Wei Dayong said.
"The 94th Brigade of Independence is about to fight back again, and there is still a counterattack!"
Wang Ye was also secretly surprised, and he couldn't help but admire him.
This Lianggang is really a hard bone. At this time, you still have to fight back?
Fan Guangou's tears had already flowed down and he asked, "Chief of Staff, they have been holding on for six days and nights. Why haven't they broken through yet? Why haven't they broken through yet?"
"Why haven't you broken through?"
Wei Dayong sneered and said, "Old Chang doesn't allow it."
"Yes." Wang Ye sighed, "The order is to hold on for ten days, only six days."
"But this is too difficult." Fan Guanyou said sadly, "It's only a few thousand people in a brigade, but it has to hold on for ten days under the siege of nearly 100,000 Japanese and puppet troops. Moreover, the Japanese army has so many tanks and cannons, which is too difficult."
"War is not easy," Wang Ye said, "If you should sacrifice, you have to sacrifice."
While speaking, the shelling was over, and the 94th Brigade launched another counterattack.
I saw countless figures immediately appeared on the street that was empty just now.
The Japanese in yellow military uniforms and the Central Army in green military uniforms all carried bright bayonets and launched the most cruel hand-to-hand battle in the smoke and dust.
Ten kilometers away, it seemed that you could hear the shouts of killing.
...
And at this time, it is in Datong City.
The 94th Independent Brigade of the Central Army launched the bloodiest counterattack in the past six days.
All the officers and soldiers who were still able to move from the three main regiments and the brigade's direct team were involved in this wave of counterattacks, and even the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion participated in the counterattack after the artillery attack was over.
"Damn, my god, grandma!"
A veteran rushed into the middle of the Japanese desperately with an explosive pack pulling the fuse.
Accompanied by a loud bang, the dazzling red light and rolling flames instantly swallowed the veteran of the Central Army and the Japanese around him.
"Shisheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshe
Three sharp bayonets stabbed into the abdomen of a Central Army veteran almost at the same time.
Between life and death, the veteran of the Central Army actually opened his mouth and laughed. With the loud laughter, the red blood overflowed like a spring water.
The three Japanese soldiers were all in danger and were eager to turn around and retreat.
However, it was too late. With a bang, the explosive pack of the Central Army veteran was exploding under his butt, and the huge shock wave overturned the houses.
The three Japanese were buried alive in an instant.
"Mom, please forgive my son for being unfilial!"
A captain of the National Army roared, dragged his broken leg, held a five-pound pack of explosives and rushed under the tracks of a Japanese tank. Another bombardment sounded, and the Japanese tank was blown up and turned over.
The captain of the national army was instantly smashed to pieces.
The battle was so fierce that the officers and soldiers of the 94th Brigade simply took their lives to fill in!
Under the desperate counterattack of the officers and soldiers of the 94th Brigade, the Japanese finally stopped supporting and retreated like a tide.
In a blink of an eye, the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia and the 1st Division were driven back to the west gate, north gate and east gate areas, and the 94th Brigade miraculously restored its position before the war.
After receiving the report, Liang Gang said to the telegraph soldiers in tears: "The Command, the Office of the Assistant Office and the Principal: This morning, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 94th Brigade led the remnants of the Japanese invaders with fearless courage. After half an hour of fierce fighting, they have recovered from the north of Datong City, the west of the city and the east of the city. There are hundreds of Japanese invaders left behind, and our brigade has also suffered many casualties..."
...
A quarter of an hour later, the telegram was sent to the Huangshan official residence in Chongqing.
As soon as Tang Zong finished reading the first few words in the telegram, the entire combat hall was drowned out by cheers, and his posture seemed to have won a big victory.
Everyone likes to show off.
Chang Kaishen's face was even more excited and his face flushed!
Only Tang Zong looked sad because he was the only one who finished reading the telegram and said a few words.
"... Our brigade also suffered many casualties, and there were less than a thousand soldiers who could fight. There were not many ammunition left now, and there was even a shortage of explosives. I think the Japanese invaders' offensive will become more fierce and crazy."
"The officers and soldiers of my entire brigade are determined to kill themselves."
"What you are worried about is difficult to complete the ten-day persistence."
"I hope that the Sui Army can reorganize the defense line as soon as possible and defend the Wuyuan."
"Zhi Liang Gang, on June 18, 11th of the 31st year of the Republic of China, was in Datong."
...
In Peiping, No. 11, Tieshizi Hutong.
"What did you say?" After hearing the report from Yuxi San, Okamura Yanji could not believe his ears. "The 94th Brigade of the Central Central Army of China launched a counter-assault this morning and drove the attack troops stationed in Mongolia and the 1st Division back to the origin? The troops involved in the attack returned to the original starting point?"
"Hayi." You Shun San said, "Although it's incredible, it's the truth."
"Baga." Okamura Yanji said with a resentment, "When the Japanese-Chinese War entered its sixth year, I was really surprised that there was such a Chinese Central Army that could fight."
"Yes." There are three deep thoughts who agree with the last essence.
"After the Battle of Songhu and Nanjing, the Central Army of China was already in a slump. In the following years, the Central Army of China rarely achieved qualified results on the battlefield."
Okamura Yasuji said in a deep voice: "What is the origin of this 94th Brigade?"
Youmo Jingsan replied: "The predecessor of the 94th Independent Brigade was the 94th Division of the Central Army of China. Because it was defeated in the civil war with the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party, it was reduced to the 94th Independent Brigade. However, according to information, this 94th Independent Brigade added a large number of veterans of the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps, especially the brigade commander Liang Gang, who was once the battalion commander of the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps, so in terms of bloodline, it is actually a remnant unit of the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps."
"Central Military Academy Teaching Corps?" Okamura Yasuji said, "Kiyongqing?"
"That's just a fool and a coward." said Atsushi Yu. "In fact, this army is still very combat-effective. It's a pity that it has a captain who is even stupider than a pig. Therefore, his performance in the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing was so bad, and his number was even revoked because he escaped at the last battle."
"Then let them escape again." Okamura Yasuji said, "Anyway, they are used to it!"
"Hayi!" You Mo Jing San bowed his head and said to the communication staff behind him, "Order that the Mongolian army and the 1st Division must clear the China army in the city before noon today and regain Datong!"
"Hayi!" The communications consultant bowed heavily.
...
Time passed by minute by minute, and it soon came noon.
There has been no good news on the Datong front line, and Okamura Yanji's face gradually became embarrassing.
A brigade had only 6,000 people killed. After six days and nights, how many people could be left? How many ammunition can be left with the army?
The 94th Brigade of the Central Army is the only one. It is no exaggeration to describe it as the end of its life, right?
However, the Japanese army assembled a heavy-armed division, a chariot division and an old infantry division, but in this case, they still couldn't defeat Datong?
How did this battle be fought?
I really don’t know what Nakazawa Miho, Shibayama Kenshiro and others are doing.
Finally, the sound of rapid footsteps rang out, and a communications consultant hurried in.
"Hissergeant!" said the correspondent, "After a fierce battle in the morning, the 3rd Battalion of the 49th Infantry Regiment has advanced to the center of DT, and the remnants of the Chinese state will be cleared."
"Okay!" You Mo Jingsan clenched his fists with force.
After waiting for a whole morning, I finally waited for good news.
Okamura Yasuji also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, less than half an hour has passed.
Suddenly, another staff member came in to report: "Genius General, the remnants of the Chinese army launched a fierce counterattack again. The 3rd Battalion, which belongs to the 49th Infantry Regiment, has been forced to withdraw from its original position."
"What?" You Miao Jing San changed his mind in anger, "You still have the ability to fight back?"
Okamura Yanji also said sternly: "These Chinese soldiers are really tough."
After a pause, Okamura Yasuji said again: "But no matter how tough it is, it is useless. The flesh and blood body cannot withstand the torrent of steel. He ordered the Mongolian army and the 1st Division to continue to strengthen the offensive. He must eliminate the remaining enemies before dark today!"
Chapter completed!
