Chapter 36: The Battle of Xinyang (9)

. "The division seat, the war zone commander's headquarters urgently sent the telegram." Cheng Jiaji's side "beat the drums and gathered the generals" to gather the senior officers of the Independent 100 Division and were discussing. The "death power" of the war zone commander's headquarters "killed" over. It can be seen that the eyes of the war zone commander's commander's eyes were staring at every corner of the Xinyang battlefield every minute, which was really difficult for him.

"Brother Weili, read it!" Cheng Jiaji really didn't have the interest to read this telegram that knew the content without reading it.

"The enemy situation is urgent, and you will attack with all your strength and attack from Xinyang. If you miss the military plane, the military law will be ruthless. Commander-in-Chief Li." This emergency telegram was actually prepared by the commander-in-chief of the war zone. In order to save the time of sending the report, the number of words is so verified. Even the specific time is not marked. The more this happens, the more urgent the commander-in-chief of the war zone is, and the weight of the telegram is increased.

After Qian Shen finished thinking about this telegram, the core officers of the Independent 100th Division gathered in the small living room of the Jiang family compound stopped talking.

The matter is obvious. Are you going to save Shuangdonghe Town? You are doing something that the Independent 100 Division, whose combat power has dropped at the lowest point. I am afraid that the Japanese army will take advantage of this time to seize Liulin, and then the Independent 100 Division will be unable to protect itself. If you don’t go to rescue, from the eight words after the end of the telegram, the commander of the War Zone will definitely not be a joke this time. If an Independent 100 Division comes to a military commander but not a soldier, he will be killed if he turns his face.

"Okay, don't discuss it. Brigade Commander Xing draws two relatively neat battalions from your headquarters, and I personally lead the car to help Dongshuanghe Town. Brigade Commander Xing commands other troops of the temporary 183rd Brigade to walk towards Shuangdonghe Town first, and then takes the return vehicle to come to meet me in batches. After Brother Qi Tian commands the cavalry brigade, after occupying Zhutang, the abandoned Japanese army, except for leaving a northward search with Zhutang as the center, most of them advance to the Japanese army attacking Dongshuanghe Town for harassment and attack. Chief of Staff Qian leads the Independent 100 Brigade and the direct team of the Division headquarters sit in the center of Liulin to support him." Cheng Jiaji saw that everyone present, including Wen Songyuan, was silent, and knew that it was time to make a decision. He waved his hand to stop Qian Shen, who was about to stand up and speak. He made a detailed arrangement of how the Independent 100 Division will fight tonight.

Cheng Jiaji's arrangement was already trying to find a balance point, and no one present had a better solution for the time being. In addition, the coach had made up his mind and everyone had nothing to say. So they went to execute the orders, but only Qian Shen stayed.

"Brother Wei Li, after this night, the situation on the Xinyang battlefield will definitely change greatly. If time is too late, I hope my brother can resolutely lead the independent 100 Brigade and the division directly under the division to retreat to Sui County to make a new start." Cheng Jiaji's words meant to be blunt. If the situation is not good, you should take the troops to run away. Don't worry about that much. No matter how much we say, we can't lose all our last little capital here.

When Qian Shen heard Cheng Jiaji say such words similar to entrusting his or her orphan, he was also moved. He said with a stern voice, "Take care, please take care of yourself. Wei Li will definitely live up to your entrusting."

When Cheng Jiaji led his troops to set off, Qian Shen and others were sent to the entrance of the town, and Wen Songyuan even wanted to go together. In the end, Cheng Jiaji got angry and calmly stopped the scene.

At the moment when Cheng Jiaji was developing the car in the area, Qian Shen felt that his eyes were wet, and there were tears, and he hurriedly brushed himself while the people were unprepared.

Coincidentally, Cheng Jiaji was also very nervous when he was on the car. He kept asking himself, would he have to go through this army little by little on the battlefield after all his hardships?

The two battalions commanded by Cheng Jiaji personally arrived at Dongshuanghe Town at midnight on the 17th. At this time, the attack on Shuangdonghe Town by Pingshanzhu from the east had begun for nearly an hour. Cheng Jiaji led his troops to get off the car and launched a side attack on the Japanese army from south to east, attempting to disrupt the Japanese attack steps to extend the defense time of the Chinese defenders in Shuangdonghe Town and to gain time for the upcoming reinforcements of the 17th Corps. Unexpectedly, the Zhongzuo of Pingshanzhu was prepared for a long time.

He had already set up a blocking position with two squadrons in the southeast corner outside the town. The roundabout operations of the two battalions of the Independent 100th Division happened to hit the Japanese blockade line, which instead caused the Japanese to ambush the brothers of the two battalions led by Cheng Jiaji. "Stop moving forward and lie down and fight back." Cheng Jiaji saw that the soldiers rushing in front fell one by one under the ambush of the Japanese army, and was so anxious that he ignored the projectiles flying on his head and shouted loudly in the team.

Under Cheng Jiaji's strong organization, the soldiers of the two battalions of the 183rd Brigade gradually stabilized the formation and shot against the Japanese army across a stream in the dark. In this case, although the two Japanese squadrons could not kill and injure a large number of Chinese soldiers, if Cheng Jiaji wanted to forcibly rush through the stream, it would be like sending his soldiers to the door to let the Japanese slaughter. Seeing that he could not force a breakthrough, Cheng Jiaji urged his troops to confront the Japanese army to entangle the Japanese army on the opposite side, and at the same time, he asked someone to inform Xing Yusheng's troops who were on the way to advance directly into the town from the west to assist in the war.

"Attack with all your might!" The main force of the 39th Japanese Army's 39th Regiment launched repeated attacks on Shuangdonghe Town like crazy under the urging of Taishan Zuo. The Japanese army relied on the late night and the Chinese army had no flares at all, and the Japanese attacking troops were almost crowded together. Although the Chinese army defending Shuanghe Town had an independent brigade, it was actually disabled in the Battle of Luoshan. It was only a few months ago that the local troops were incorporated by the 17th Army. In addition, the last time it was defeated three times

During the brigade of the 19th Regiment, some casualties were also killed and killed. At this moment, the entire brigade was less than 2,000, and the combat soldiers were less than 1,500. It could withstand the Japanese army, which was much more powerful than their own, and fought hard. It only took an hour and a half to start the war. The Japanese army attacked the town, and although the Chinese army fought back with all their might, they were forced to retreat again. However, any officer with experience in battlefield command could see that the Chinese army in the town could not support it for long after the Japanese army attacked.

"Leave a battalion here to shoot at the Japanese army across the stream. It would rather take more casualties than reduce the intensity of the firepower. You can't feel that there are fewer people here on the opposite side." From the gunshots in the west of the town moved eastward step by step and the firelight appeared in the town, Cheng Jiaji judged that the guards in the town were almost unable to hold on. And Xing Yusheng's troops were not here again, and with the idea that the town could defend more for a while, Cheng Jiaji decided to bring a battalion troops in to help the defenders. The troops in one battalion were not large. It could at least boost the morale of the defenders.

Cheng Jiaji had just gathered the battalion that had been withdrawn from the position and was about to drive towards the town. Suddenly, a string of red signal flares were fired from Dongshuanghe Town. The signal flares were interesting. They all happened to hit the Japanese position outside the town. Although they could not achieve the effect of flares, they also roughly marked the area where the Japanese army gathered.

What's going on? The battle has reached this point, what signal flare is? It's a red signal flare for attack in general. Besides, whether this kind of fighting is lighting or signal! When Cheng Jiaji was too impatient, a familiar voice came from his ear. From a car just arrived at the edge of the position, Qian Shen jumped out of the ground and shouted loudly: "Master!"

"Brother Weili, why are you here? Is there anything urgent?" Cheng Jiaji was very surprised to see Qian Shen who should have been left behind in Liulin Town at this time. He knew that Qian Shen's behavior was not a secret matter in the front line. He would never leave the army to find him.

"Teacher. Xie Gaoshen, the War Zone Command, urgent telegram." Qian Shen waved a message in his hand to the place where Cheng Jiaji was, and then he came quickly.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." At this moment, as the shells cut through the air, the shells hit the ground, the place where the shells fell was the gathering area outside the town. With the sound of the cannon, Cheng Jiaji snatched the telegram from Qian Shen's hand and looked at it hungrily. No matter how stupid Cheng Jiaji was, he guessed that the telegram from Qian Shen's hand had a great relationship with this sudden shelling of the Japanese army.

"Haoran's brother Jun saw that the chief of the war zone had learned from the 17th Legion that the main force of the department had withdrawn from Xinyang from the junction of Luoshan and Xinyang this afternoon, and planned to give up Xinyang. The chief of the official has sent a telegram to reprimand, which may be invalid. My brother is in a dangerous place, so he should be careful. Brother Junchen."

After reading this telegram, Cheng Jiaji stood alone in the sound of cannons for a few minutes. After thinking about the causes and consequences at this time, Cheng Jiaji said to Qian Shen with a strange expression of joy and sorrow, "Brother Weili, things have come to this point, so we have to take the soup. Have you brought the radio station?" After receiving a positive reply, Cheng Jiaji continued, "Order the main force of the cavalry brigade of Liu Tianlong's troops to set off from Zhu Tang and raid the Japanese defeated soldiers with a small group of troops on the way. Immediately send a report to the theater for the next action. Except for the cavalry brigade, notify all the troops that had set off to return to Liulin to assemble immediately."

"It is best to withdraw from Liulin Town immediately after gathering, and go to Tanjiahe in the west to avoid it." Qian Shen added at the end of Cheng Jiaji's words.

Cheng Jiaji looked at Qian Shen with a serious expression and said nothing. He knew what Qian Shen was worried about. Since the commander of the army dared to give up Shuxinyang without authorization and designed such a reasonable excuse to withdraw troops because the Japanese army was about to cut off the retreat. Then who would guarantee that he would force the 100th Independent Division to stay as a victim when he was not passing by.

"Just do what you said!" Cheng Jiaji Sizhi agreed with Qian Shen's opinion again and again. If the 17th Legion really broke down, Cheng Jiaji would not frown even if he fought with him and cut off the rear. But if he was just a scapegoat in an unknown way, it would be too unfair.

While Qian Cheng and the others were talking, the Japanese army in Dongshuanghe Town had retreated towards Zhutang after being bombarded.

"Get away!"

Cheng Jiaji took a last look at the Japanese army that was slowly retreating across the stream, and issued an order to withdraw from the war zone to his troops. As for whether the 39th Regiment could retreat without being able to escape, anyone with discerning eyes could describe it as "hang". Since the commander of the army set up this bureau, his cunning could not be done with just a single shot. He would inevitably intercept and kill the Japanese army on the way to retreat a few times, and leave more room for himself in the future. But Jiaji felt that those who had nothing to do with him were no longer related to him. At this moment, Cheng Jiaji was thinking about how to bring thousands of his brothers out of Xinyang. These lowest-level officers and soldiers who have done their best for the country and nation should always have the power to live until at least before the next battle, rather than die meaninglessly in a man-made defeat.

Cheng Jiaji was in a bad mood, but compared with his opponent Pingshanzhuo, Cheng Jiaji was in a paradise of happiness.

The 39th Japanese Army Regiment hurriedly retreated from outside Dongshuanghe Town and walked less than five miles away, and was forcibly attacked by the main force of the 17th Legion who followed the south. In the Wuliu Wulien wilderness, the Central Army launched three divisions at the same time, nearly 20,000 generals were already trapped, and the morale of the army was floating. The remnants of the 39th Regiment, which was less than 1,600 people, were cut into three sections in one breath. The smaller two sections only flapped in the Chinese army, evaporated like a drop of water on the beach without a trace. Only Pingshan Zuo personally led a group to drop all the wounded soldiers and lost two-thirds of their troops, and rushed out of the sad field and fled towards Zhutang.

The Chinese army did not pursue the fleeing Japanese troops relentlessly, but sent a few cavalry to chase them, while the large army turned south towards Liulin.

But even these few cavalrymen were far more than those of the survivors of the 39th Regiment, including the 39th Regiment, including the 39th Regiment. Although the cavalry was inconvenient to move in the dark, these few cavalry also caused the remaining soldiers of the 39th Regiment to suffer a lot. Not only did their sabers make nearly half of the number of Japanese remnants, they also beat them to pieces.

When these scattered Japanese officers and soldiers fled north stubbornly with their desire to live, they met Liu Tianlong's tribe and rushed to beat the fallen dog.

Finally, in this death race, there were about 2,000 troops from Zhutang when they set out, and only nine of them escaped. Everyone else stayed on the land of other countries and became lonely ghosts, and even the talented Nakazo Hirayama, who was very talented, was not spared. It is said that at the last moment before his death, he was still worried about his defeat in this battle so unknown.
