Chapter 35 Wang Mingzhang defended Teng County (I)
The 22nd Sichuan Army Group Army arrived at the war zone on March 13. Besides, the 22nd Sichuan Army Group Army Group Army was originally led by Deng Xihou in September 1937, led the 41st Army, 45th Army, and 47th Army heading north across the Qinling Mountains and heading straight to the Second War Zone. When the 22nd Sichuan Army Group Army Group Army went through a lot of hardships to reach Shanxi, they had no time to replenish, and then went to the battlefield. Yan Xishan divided the Sichuan Army into use, causing the Sichuan Army to retreat step by step although they fought bravely. During the retreat, they were reluctant to leave the warehouse left by the Jinsui Army and entered the warehouse to replenish food and ammunition. As a result, Yan Xishan reported to the Military Commission, saying that the Sichuan Army was a "bandit" and he refused to fight in the Second War Zone. Fortunately, Yue Hanping, who was also a Sichuan Army, suggested in front of Bai Chongxi that the 22nd Army Group Army would be transferred to the Fifth War Zone. The 22nd Army had a place to use its skills at this time.
Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen met Li Zongren for the first time. As soon as they met, Deng Xihou smiled bitterly: "Sir Li, we don't want us in the first and second zones. The world is so big that there is no place for our Sichuan Army to stand at." Sun Zhen also said in a bitter tone: "It's so kind to ask us to go to the fifth zone. What kind of ethics are there? The commander has to do, our 22nd Army will definitely obey the order!"
Li Zongren held Deng Xihou's hand and sighed, "To be honest, is the experience of our Guangxi clan and your Sichuan army the same? However, Bai Jiansheng of our Guangxi clan is now the deputy chief of staff of the Military Commission. "There are some people in the court who are easy to be officials." With his care, our Guangxi clan is in a better situation than you. Before the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chairman Jiang served as the country alone, deliberately eliminated dissidents and found ways to eliminate us, such as the "miscellaneous army", which led to a series of civil wars. Now, the War of Resistance Against Japan has begun.
, I think Chairman Jiang will inevitably have the intention to use the reputation of "going to the national crisis together" to eliminate all non-directly Central Army. In terms of weapons, food, pay, ammunition, etc., the Central Army has received unlimited supplements, while the Miscellaneous Army has been detained layer by layer. On the one hand, we Miscellaneous Army generals are inspiring national justice and want to compete with the Japanese army. On the other hand, we are worried that after the troops will not receive supplements from the central government after the troops' combat losses, they will revoke the troops' number and become a bare-pole..."
Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen were stunned, and then he said in unison: "Sir Li, you have just reached our hearts." Li Zongren continued: "Oh, I won't mention the past. To be honest, we fought a civil war with Chairman Jiang in the past, which added a lot of suffering to the people. Now, we can only wash away the sins by working together and fighting with the Japanese devils." He then asked with concern: "What do you need? What difficulties do you have to solve?" Deng Xihou said embarrassedly, "Captain Li, the Sichuan Army is still an old problem. The guns are too poor, there are too few bullets, and the soldiers are short of cotton coats to keep the cold."
Li Zongren comforted, "Don't be anxious, two, I will send a telegram to the Military Commission immediately and ask Bai Jiansheng to clear up. The battle in Xuzhou is imminent, and I want them to solve the difficulties of your Sichuan army immediately. I will first allocate 500 new guns to the two, and 250 pieces of Jin Kang (Deng Xihou's name) and De Cao (Sun Zhen's name) each. I will order the warehouse in the fifth war zone to allocate a batch of bullets and mortars from the inventory."
Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen were very grateful, "Sir Li, it is rare that you regard the Sichuan Army as a family. Our 22nd Army guarantees to absolutely obey the commands of the superiors! In order to repay the favor of Chief Li for his recognition!"
Li Zongren, considering that the western front of the northern section of the Jinpu Road, after the 10th Division of the Japanese army captured Jining, continued to move south arrogantly and directly pointed to Taierzhuang, the gateway of Xuzhou. So he ordered the generals to defend the Tengxian line and gather troops to gain time for the war zone. Li Zongren said: "Now the Segu Detachment (brigade) of the 10th Division of the Japanese army was coming from the Jining line. I want to transfer Brother Decao's troops to intercept this Japanese army. I firmly believe that there are no unavailable soldiers in the world, only unavailable generals."
Sun Zhen said firmly: "Our 41st Army vowed to fight the Japanese invaders to the end, and never take a step back!" Then, the 22nd Army Command entered Lincheng, Shandong. The 122nd Division of the 41st Army defended Tengxian, and the 125th Division of the 45th Army advanced towards the Border River north of Tengxian, blocking the enemy in Zhangzhuang, and the two-speed zone...
On March 15, Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 122nd Division, led the vanguard of two battalions to Teng County. At this time, part of the Sega Detachment arrived near Teng County. Wang Mingzhang urgently ordered the 366th Brigade to rush to Teng County from Taipingyi to Teng County for reinforcements. The brigade encountered the main force of the Japanese army near Chengtou Village and was intercepted for several sections, and only one battalion rushed into Teng County.
At dawn on the 16th, more than 8,000 main forces of the Japanese Seya Detachment reached the suburbs of Kondo Prefecture, first attacking the guards of Dongguan of Fuji Prefecture. At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army concentrated artillery to bomb Dongguan of Fuji Prefecture, Xiguan and the inner city. After the Japanese army began shelling, Wang Mingzhang judged that the war was imminent. So he ordered the division headquarters and the direct team to move into the city from Xiguan to block the north and south city gates, and temporarily retain traffic roads in the east and west city gates, and prepared to block them at any time. He warned the officers and soldiers of the city, "I will work with everyone to defend Fuji Prefecture. The city will be dead, and the city will be alive."
The fierce artillery fire continued to bombard the city wall for 2 hours and was silent for 30 minutes. Major General Seya instructed to concentrate firepower and blast a little, opening a gap. Suddenly, all Japanese artillery concentrated on bombarding the protruding parts of the East Gate and South Gate. The fierce artillery fire loosened the wall bricks of the city wall and exploded a large hole more than ten meters wide. The Japanese army concentrated dozens of machine guns aimed at the gap and fired to cover the infantry's attack.
The company commander Wu?, facing the Japanese army's cluster charge, Company Commander Wu was not afraid. He commanded the soldiers calmly to face the battle and quietly hid on both sides of the gap. When a Japanese team of about 60 people had just fallen to the trench and was about to charge at the gap, he threw a grenade at the enemy. At the same time, more than 100 grenades hit the attacking Japanese squad like hail. There was a loud bang, and in one encounter, the Japanese army even saw the Chinese, and about 40 people were killed. The remaining ten people spread their feet and ran back.
The second attack was squadron-scale. A squadron-based Japanese army, led by a captain, rushed to the gap with murderous intent. The captain was very cunning. When he rushed to about 100 meters, he ordered the troops to stop, line up the four grenade launchers that followed the squadron's attack, and aimed at both sides of the gap. The Japanese grenade launchers were experienced and shot very accurately. Several grenades fell into Wu Lian's hidden crowd, and pieces of flesh and blood immediately flew with the explosion of the grenade. The soldiers who took the risk of reaching out to shoot were killed by the Japanese machine gunner's precise firepower point. Wu? Company Commander had no choice but to order that everyone tried to find hidden objects. If there was no one, they simply hid behind the dead bodies.
The Japanese squadron then shouted with a gun and rushed towards the gap. When the Japanese army approached the gap, Company Commander Wu ordered, "Drop grenades!" The brothers threw grenades one after another. At this time, the Japanese soldiers also threw grenades at the positions of the Chinese team. Grenades flew on both sides, shrapnel were like rain. The Japanese army, the Chinese people were killed and injured by the bomb. Fortunately, the Chinese people were condescending, and the grenades were hit more accurately. The machine gunner ignored their lives and raised their guns and fired at the Japanese army. The fierce rain of bullets completely enveloped the Japanese army, and the attacking Japanese troops fell in pools of blood. The machine gunner was killed, and another soldier took the machine gun and continued to fire. The brothers of the Sichuan Army pulled the bolts and shot the bullets in their gun chambers.
The East Gate defenders repelled the Japanese attacks three times in succession, and their casualties reached more than 100, and one company basically lost them. As a last resort, the reserve team took over the position. At 2 pm, the Japanese army continued to attack the northeast corner of the East Gate and were repelled by the defenders. At 5 pm, the Japanese army organized a squadron-scale attack again. The defenders resisted tenaciously, and the Japanese army was about to rush into the gap. At the critical moment, several brothers of the Sichuan Army jumped off the city wall with their umbrellas. With a few deafening roars, the heroic soldiers and fifty Japanese soldiers turned into blood rain. The brothers on the city wall jumped down the gap one after another, plucking up the courage, and rushed towards the Japanese with a sharp bayonet. The attacking Japanese army was completely suppressed by the fearlessness of the Chinese soldiers. Faced with these Chinese people who were not afraid of death, the "heroic imperial army" could no longer care about their faces, and they all spread their feet, only to regret that their parents had fewer legs.
Major General Seya, who was supervising the battle, had a blue face and a gloomy face, ordered the supervisory team to open fire. The supervisory team pulled the trigger ruthlessly, and the nine-second heavy machine gun screamed wildly. The hot bullets swept across the retreating Japanese troops. Twenty Japanese troops were not prepared and were accurately shot by their heavy machine guns. The rest of the Japanese troops had no choice but to charge forward. The Dongguan defenders lay on the collapsed wall bricks and shot rows of bullets at the Japanese troops. But under the threat of the supervising team, the Japanese army had to bite the bullet and rushed forward one by one. One by one, and finally after paying the price of more than twenty people, they rushed up to the gap. A brother of Sichuan Army held the ** bag and rushed forward. With a "boom", another brother of Sichuan Army rushed forward, "boom" with a "boom" sound, and another brother of Sichuan Army rushed forward, "boom" with no one hesitated, and his expression was that
It was calm, as if it was not going to die, but to a party of a friend. The Japanese army was so shocked that they did not know how to retreat. They stared at the eyes in horror, watching the Chinese soldiers coming. When the Chinese soldiers came up with a smokey cucumber, they still smiled at them, and spoke language they didn't understand. Then a shocking sound turned the Japanese army and themselves into powder. More than a dozen loud noises echoed in the gap in the Dongguan. After the sound, there was no Japanese soldier standing at the gap in the Dongguan. A thick smoke rose from the gap, slowly spreading to the battlefield, with broken limbs and flesh on the collapsed wall bricks. Major General Segumi was also shocked. What kind of Chinese team is this, which is not afraid of death than the Imperial Army. This is a real life-threatening character. The company that was guarding was wiped out again.
