Chapter 123 Brigadier Zhang Zhengyu

North China, Zhenjun Temple, the temporary command of the 6th Independent Brigade of the 33rd Army.

At this moment, the Sixth Brigade happened to be holding a military meeting, and all officers at the battalion level and above all participated in the meeting here.

A colonel officer of the Shanxi Sui Army walked in and saluted a major general wearing a star and said, "The brigade is now coming to the White Tiger Guerrillas of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. Their commander requested negotiations with us and asked to pass through our defense zone."

The general who was immediately called the brigade was the commander of the 6th Independent Brigade. Major General Zhang Zhengyu walked and smiled, looked at the map again, and said, "The Eighth Route Army guerrillas are interesting. Tell them that they want to pass through our defense zone, but there is no door. Let them take a detour!"

"Yes, brigade!" the colonel of the Shanxi Sui Army responded.

~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this moment, Ouyang, who was outside the post, also received a reply from the 6th Independent Brigade of the Shanxi Sui Army.

Reject Ouyang's request!

Disagree with the Eighth Route Army's transit!

Ouyang had no choice but to issue an order: "Order all troops to detour the Fenglin Ferry!"

Originally, Ouyang had a good impression of Zhang Zhengyu, the commander of the 6th Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army.

After all, according to the history he knew, this person was a famous anti-Japanese general and killed countless enemies, especially during the Liberation War, who firmly opposed the civil war. In 1946, he declined the order to go up to the top and voluntarily chose to retire. In 1949, when Peiping was able to be liberated peacefully, this person also made great contributions.

Long Dagu looked angry and said, "Commander, let's just let it go."

"Click!"

Ouyang patted his military cap and said unhappy: "No, what can we do? Can we still do it? Let's not talk about our friendly forces now and are all anti-Japanese teams. Besides, with our hundreds of people, it is not enough for people to get stuck in their teeth."

"Order the troops and marches!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two hours later, Zhenjun Temple, the combat conference room.

Zhang Zhengyu, the commander of the Sixth Brigade, heard the telegrams coming one by one, his face was cold and he was in an extremely bad mood.

He turned around and looked at the officers under his command, and said in a deep voice: "What are the men of the Military Commission thinking?"

"It is agreed that our independent 6th Brigade will arrive here and launch a sneak attack on the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, but where are the 4th Division and 89th Division under Tang Enbo's command?"

"The two of his mothers were lying on the mountain and not moving. Isn't this putting us in the siege of the Japanese army?"

As soon as the words came, the other officers in the conference room also looked indignant.

At this moment, the Chief of Staff said another bad news, "The brigade is not only the 4th Division and the 89th Division cannot get there, but the 66th Division of the Commander Lou Fusheng of our Shanxi Sui Army and the 72nd Division of the 72nd Division of the Commander Ai Ziqian were also intercepted by the 1st mixed brigade of the Japanese army and could not get here."

Upon hearing this, the brigade commander Zhang Zhengyu's face turned red, obviously extremely angry, and almost roared: "Are Lou Fusheng and Ai Ziqian fools? Yangquan is the area where the enemy is heavily deployed, how can he pass by there!"

Everyone was angry when they looked at Zhang Zhengyu and remained silent.

Logically speaking, the brigade commander is not as good as the division commander. Zhang Zhengyu insulted Lou Fusheng and Ai Ziqian so much, so he would be dealt with by military law. However, in addition to being a brigade commander, Zhang Zhengyu also served as deputy commander of the 33rd Army.

The status and military position are more than two division commanders.

The reason why everyone was angry was that the Sixth Brigade received an order to launch a sneak attack on the 14th Japanese Division of the North China Japanese Army to destroy the Japanese transportation line in North China, so as to provide more preparation time for the upcoming Xuzhou Battle and the Fifth War Zone.

The original plan was to launch two divisions under Tang Enbo, the 2nd Group Army, and two divisions under the 61st Army of the Shanxi Sui Army, together with the 6th Independent Brigade, to launch an attack on the Japanese army.

However, judging from the current situation, the Independent Sixth Brigade, which has only more than 6ooo people, has arrived at the scheduled combat location.

The most important thing is the reply from the Military Commission’s order: the plan remains unchanged, and the Independent 6th Brigade must complete this action!

This order is undoubtedly ridiculous. A brigade of more than 6 ooo people is not an enemy of more than 20,000 Japanese elite divisions.

This is not a death sentence!

The officers of the Independent 6th Brigade in the conference room were immediately filled with righteous indignation and said one after another.

"Then we've been running thousands of miles of mountain road in vain!"

"What's this? Tang Enbo's more than 20,000 people were either German or American, and they were blocked by a Japanese corps. It was so embarrassing!"

"Stop talking about this. I just sent a telegram to our Sun Chu Army. The old man was so angry that he shook his head."

"I think we should just keep our troops still. Listen to Chief Yan's next instructions!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhengyu was furious and slapped the table and said, "We came to the front line not to save our lives, but to kill the Japanese. As long as our Sixth Brigade is here, we must not let the Japanese army continue to be rampant!"

After a few words, all of them are powerful!

Deafening!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a rapid sound of cannons came, making a rumbling sound!

The roof of Zhenjun Temple was also overturned by Japanese artillery fire, and gravel rubble fell down.

Many officers' expressions changed drastically!

Brigade Commander Zhang Zhengyu also changed his expression and blurted out: "This is the explosion of field artillery and howitzers, only the main Japanese army's troops will have it. What's going on?"

For a moment, other officers stared at each other, not understanding the situation.

At this time, a Jinsui Army officer hurriedly ran in and replied: "Report, brigade, it's not good. A corps of the 28th Brigade of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army suddenly appeared behind our left and launched a fierce shelling attack on our headquarters!"

"The brigade seat is not good, and a large number of Japanese troops appeared on the right rear of our country!"

"The Japanese troops attacked us from all directions!"

"Bang!"

Zhang Zhengyu looked angry and shouted, "War Zone Information, what's the name? Where did this 28th Brigade come out? Why didn't we know at all before?"

"This is a trap set by the Japanese army. We fell in. At present, the fortifications of several regiments have not been built yet, and the soldiers were seriously injured. What should we do?" At this time, a combat staff officer ran in, covered in mud.

At this moment, all the officers stared at Zhang Zhengyu, all waiting for his decision!

"Okay, then we will fight with the Japanese!"

Zhang Zhengyu pulled out his pistol and shouted: "I vow to fight the Japanese invaders to the end. If you fail, you will be successful!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Japanese positions outside the Zhenjun Temple.

Major General Sakai Takashi, the commander of the 28th Brigade of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, personally directed the battle.

Major General Sakai observed the battle on the front line through a telescope and saw that the soldiers of the Shanxi Sui army were constantly killed under the artillery fire of his own side.

The corners of his mouth kept rising and said to the Japanese officers beside him: "This group of Chinese troops is so stupid. A few thousand people in a brigade actually wanted to challenge our 14th Division and seek death!"

At this time, a Japanese corps captain reported: "Brig Commander, the two frontier positions we had just seized were now recaptured by the enemy. Our soldiers were also seriously injured. Please indicate your next action!"

"The Monojun Temple is the enemy's command center. It ordered the artillery to continue firing and blow their commander to death. At the same time, there are not many people in their command center. You must take it down at all costs!" Major General Sakai Takashi gave the order!

He paused and said, "I'm waiting here. Before dark, you must send me the head of the enemy commander!"

"Hi!"
