Chapter 19 The Bloody Battle of the Siege (2)

Song Yuhang hammered his fists heavily on the map. Faced with the Japanese army's crazy attacks over the days of Japanese superior forces, the 200th Division could only passively defend. Many companies' positions were broken through by the Japanese army after the entire company was killed.

With the advantages of heavy artillery and air support, the Japanese army continued to compress the defensive positions of the 200th Division, while also consuming the vitality of the Chinese army in the city, especially the 600th Regiment and the 598th Regiment, which were fighting hard outside the city, were even more casualties.

That night, a Japanese brigade forced a breakthrough and inserted behind the 131 Highland, completely separating the 131 Highland from the urban area. After the 598th Regiment failed to organize a second counterattack, it retracted back into the city according to Diane's order. A discerning person could see at a glance that the Japanese were taking advantage of the importance of the 131 Highland, luring Chinese troops to attack, consuming the vitality of Chinese defensive forces, and laying the foundation for attacking the urban area.

In Song Yuhang's view, the loss of the 131 Highland was only a matter of time! At this moment, Diane's hand was only a mechanized cavalry regiment guarding the old city. This cavalry regiment was the only mobile unit that the 200th Division could use.

At this moment, Tong Gucheng is like a pot of boiling water. I believe that until the last moment, Diane will not easily pour the last scoop of cold water into it.

In the early morning, in the face of an emergency, Dai Anze held a meeting of officers at the division headquarters at all levels and above. After Song Yuhang arrived at the venue, he found that there were much fewer people attending the meeting than before the war. Famous faces were rare in the past, and most battalion-level commanders were ranked as captains or even lieutenants. Almost all of them had a face mixed with smoke from gunpowders and sweat and even blood. The reason was naturally self-evident.

Everyone sat there with a serious expression, and a few familiar ones were passing cigarettes to each other. When one saw Song Yuhang coming, he hurriedly got up and moved into the bench.

Many officers turned around and nodded to Song Yuhang!

Although the captain officer in front of him looked familiar, Song Yuhang didn't know what he was called! He just nodded awkwardly and expressed his gratitude.

In fact, Song Yuhang, deputy captain battalion of the Third Battalion of the 599th Regiment, did not recognize him. Because of his previous arms and the batch of medicines yesterday, his prestige quickly rose among the grassroots officers and soldiers of the 200th Division. In many people's eyes, Song Yuhang represented the military headquarters, which was second only to the division commander Dai Anzi.

Chinese soldiers and most basic officers are very simple. They know who is good to them and who is sincerely helping them take care of themselves!

In the stuffy bunker, Diane looked at the officers present with sharp eyes. When his eyes passed by Song Yuhang, she stayed for a few seconds. Song Yuhang found that Diane looked at him with very complex elements mixed with the eyes. Diane waved his hand and signaled Zhou Zhi, the Chief of Staff sitting beside him, to talk first.

Zhou Zhi cleared his hoarse voice again and said, "Today is the tenth day of the Battle of Tonggu. One of our divisions has now restrained two enemy divisions and another regiment. Although the enemy is still blocked outside Tonggucheng, the Japanese army has brought serious casualties to our division with its superior artillery fire and absolute air supremacy. Now, most of the positions east of the railway, including the 131 highlands, have been lost. Almost all the buildings in the old city were razed to the ground by Japanese artillery fire. This is our division's first battle abroad. The terrain is not familiar and the contact is not smooth. In addition, the weather is hot and there is a lack of drinking water. The battle is very difficult. All units have suffered great losses. According to the adjustment, our unit's next stage of combat has been transferred to the Xincheng District to the Xitanghe Line."

Diane waited for Zhou Zhi to finish speaking again, and wiped a sweat. Today he wore a yellow shirt with a few buttons off and a pair of shorts on his lower body. But he seemed extremely excited, with a manly spirit that was fearless and fearless, with a pair of tiger eyes wide open, and waved his big hand and said with a sonorous force: "Today's will have no other meaning, just four words, 'Prepare to die in battle'!"

Song Yuhang's heart suddenly felt a little sad when he heard Dai An-seok's words. In history, Dai An-seok made this statement on March 24 and left a suicide note. More than 400 Japanese troops raided the 200th Division on the night of the 28th, and the remaining 200th Division were ordered to break through in the early morning of the 30th.

However, there have been major changes in history at this moment. Due to the annihilation of the Japanese 143rd Regiment, the troops of its 56th Division were put into battle prematurely. At this moment, the Japanese army had established fortifications on the west bank of the Xitang River, and breaking along the river had become a terrible thing. The only way for the 200th Division had been completely blocked by the Japanese army. At this time, Tonggucheng became a real lonely city death.

After quickly assigning the combat mission, Dai Anzi slapped the cigarette butts hard, stood up slowly, put on a military cap, straightened his clothes, and his eyes were like fire. The subordinates present knew that the division commander had an important decision to announce, and they all stood down with their hands.

Amid the rumbling cannons, Diane made his last words with his unique heavy and hoarse voice: "Yu was ordered to stick to Tonggu and vow to live and die with the city. Yu died in battle with the deputy division commander, the deputy division commander was appointed as the infantry commander, and the infantry commander was appointed as the chief of staff." The clanging voice was loud and loud.

Before the end, Dai Anze added: "The Japanese country is too bullying me. Today's situation in Tonggu is self-evident. The Japanese invaders have besieged the city from all sides, and there is no news about our reinforcements. This battle is of great significance. I hope you will repay your determination to be successful and serve the country and nation! You must not allow the Japanese army to easily occupy Tonggu, fight hard until the last soldier, and die with the Japanese invaders."

The officers in the venue were infected by the passion of the division commander and followed the example of the presence of the agents. Everyone had a cold and decisive look on their faces, as if this was a pre-held memorial service.

After the meeting, Dai Anqi left Song Yuhang alone in the division headquarters. There was only Dai Anqi in the division headquarters. Zhou Zhi and Zheng Tingji, the infantry commander and commander of the 598th Regiment. For a moment, the atmosphere in the command center became very strange?

Song Yuhang naturally knew the current situation of the battle. However, in history, the 200th Division used the thick fog in the early morning of the 30th to break out from Tonggu. After the failure of the Tonggu Battle, on May 18, Diane led his troops to retreat to the country and was seriously injured and died. However, due to his severe damage to the Japanese 143rd Regiment, the situation in Tonggu's battle took place tremendous changes. The two divisions of the Japanese army surrounded the 200th Division in Tonggu. In the eyes of the Japanese base camp, the temptation of annihilation of Chongqing's ace army was far greater than occupying several cities!

The sharp turn of history made Song Yuhang depressed, and what made him even more unacceptable was that the reinforcement of the new 22nd Division, which came from Tonggu, day and night, was the same as in history. First, the British transferred the front of the car, and then delayed for several days due to the car's wand for no reason. Later, he was blocked by the Japanese army at Nanyang Railway Station, more than 50 kilometers north of Tonggu City.

Yu Shao's 96th Division was still struggling to move forward on the British railway, and all this was attributed to the selfishness and incompetence of the British. First, the British First Division, who was responsible for the cover mission, retreated without fighting, exposing the left wing of the 200th Division, which was equivalent to giving way to the 56th Division of the Japanese Army. The British army transported personal products and the collapsed army blocked the railway, blocking the 96th Division in Bamo!

Japanese devils, British devils! Song Yuhang made up his mind that one day he would make these devils pay ten or even a hundred times the price.

After sending out a circle of cigarettes, Dai Anyi said with a cigarette: "Brother Anyi, the battle has reached this point, and our brothers can say everything. The 200th Division has received your affection and can only come to the daily for repayment! Although I am not sure of success today, the entire Division has the determination to be successful! At the same time, I have to work hard for you. I have an important secret letter here and ask you to hand it over to the military seat. Brothers, please!"

After Diao Anxi's words, Song Yuhang suddenly realized that he wanted to go back by himself, and he also found such a good excuse for himself to escape in the last battle.

Song Yuhang smiled slightly and actually tore open the secret letter in front of Dai Anxi. He shook the letter paper inside, two pieces of white paper?

Dai Anxi and others did not expect that Song Yuhang would do such a thing. They were stunned for a moment. Zheng Tingji had a shocked expression and even forgot the matches in his hand. They did not shook them a few times until they burned their hands.

Song Yuhang smiled helplessly: "Brother asked myself that I hadn't caused any trouble to everyone, but I had provided help, but it was so bad that it was offensive?"

Zhou Zhi hurriedly wanted to explain when he heard this again. Song Yuhang waved his hand and said, "I appreciate the good intentions of you. Brother, I have been in a mess for more than 20 years. Now the country is in decline and the Japanese invaders are rampant! I am immediately serving the army and serving the country, and I am ready for the country to be prosperous. My determination is as iron as iron! I will live and die with you and the same ancient times!"

"Okay!" Dai Anqi, Zhou Zhizai, Zheng Tingji and others spoke in unison!

From Song Yuhang's firm gaze, they could see that Song Yuhang was not pretending to be generous. Song Yuhang's image in the hearts of everyone at this moment suddenly became taller! If even such a playboy had this enlightenment, China would not have perished.

They all clearly remembered that this was Song Yuhang's third time shirked, and everyone knew that although the risk of smuggling into Xitang River this time was extremely high, it was still possible for the squad to intersperse. The result of staying in Tonggu would be to fight to the end.

Song Yuhang knew that he had been recognized, so he changed the subject and said, "I, Mr. Song, have always been a good person who can't sleep without taking advantage. You all have sharpened your heads and want to be famous anti-Japanese generals for the ages, but kicked me out? I'm not that easy."

Sometimes the feeling of life and death is changed so quickly, and a trace of the previous haze dissipates without a trace.

Song Yuhang's words caused a burst of hearty laughter, and the commanders in the center of the pressure vortex received a rare moment of relaxation.
