Chapter 38 Wang Mingzhang died for his country (II)

The east gate of Teng County and the south gate were broken by the Japanese army. The crossroads in the center of the city became the focus of the competition between the two sides. Division Commander Wang Mingzhang personally came to the front line to command. Brothers of Sichuan Army set up fortifications on the street, piled up sandbags, and set up barbed wire in front of the sandbags, and stubbornly stared at the Japanese army's attack. At the same time, seeing that reinforcements were hopeless, Wang Mingzhang sent Sun Zhen the last telegram: "You are determined to fight to the death, and you have reported it to the country!" Then Wang Mingzhang ordered the radio station to be smashed and the codebook was burned to prevent Teng County from falling and the codebook from falling into the hands of the Japanese army.

Under the cover of machine guns, the enemy who occupied the southern city approached from the southwest corner to the west city. The Japanese artillery concentrated firepower to bombard the Ximen Tower, Ximen, and railway station. In the Ximen City, the 3rd Battalion of the 728th Regiment of the 122nd Division was defending the 3rd Battalion of the 728th Regiment of the 122nd Division. Battalion Commander Wang Pingui led the entire battalion to rely on the outside of the city wall to fight against the strong enemy and fight against the Japanese army attacking from the city inside. It was very difficult to fight. Under the cover of machine guns, a part of the Japanese army attempted to attack the city tower, but was stubbornly repelled by Battalion Commander Wang.

However, many places in the Ximen Tower were damaged, and the stairs of the city wall were covered with blood from martyrs. The red blood stained the bricks of the city wall stairs red. The Wang camp suffered heavy casualties. Wang Mingzhang was forced to adjust his troops again and shrink his defense line. The Cross Street became the outermost stronghold. There was one battalion each in the Ximen and North Gate, and the rest of the troops were all reduced to the core position of the inner city, preparing to fight the Japanese army with the death of the street fighting.

Major General Segaya originally thought that he would be able to defeat the Teng County defenders soon after breaking through the two city gates. Unexpectedly, in the small Teng County, he transferred armored vehicles and artillery, but he could not defeat the Teng County defenders. Major General Segaya was very anxious. He received information that the reinforcements of the **36th Brigade had already exchanged fire with the troops of the Isogaya Division commander. Therefore, he issued a death order to Colonel Akashiya Yaezo, the commander of the 10th Regiment of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese 10th Division, which was attacking Dongguan, and it was necessary to make progress from the East Gate.

So, the Japanese army launched a more violent shelling on Dongguan again. The walls of the village were bombed like jagged teeth by shells, collapsed in many places, and all fortifications were destroyed. The defenders of Dongguan lost their support, and more and more casualties were killed and injured. At the same time, the grenades were exhausted, making it difficult to fight again. The Japanese army broke into Dongguan, and the defenders fought desperately. Wang Lin, the leader of the 740th Regiment who was guarding Dongguan, shouted loudly: "Brothers, our Sichuan Army is in Shanghai, and southern Jinan is fighting very well. Now, Teng County depends on us. Those who are not afraid of death, follow me!" After that, he picked up a rifle with a bayonet and rushed out. The regiment commander went to fight in person. The brothers of the 740th Regiment rushed up with rifles and bayonets. Colonel Chichai also pulled out his battle knife and shouted loudly: "Kill Jiji, kill all the Chinese people!"

On the cross street of the East Gate, soldiers rushing together everywhere, fighting each other. Commander Wang Lin stabbed six Japanese soldiers with his own hands, but his rank of colonel also attracted the attention of Japanese soldiers. A group of Japanese soldiers surrounded Commander Wang with bayonets. The soldiers around the commander were entangled by the Japanese soldiers and could not reinforce for the time being. He watched the commander be surrounded by the Japanese. But Commander Wang was like an angry lion, fighting left and right with bayonets. Any Japanese soldiers who were touched were either stabbed or injured. But Japanese soldiers

He was really fierce, pounced up one by one. Commander Wang was exhausted and panting, and the bayonet in his hand was also bent. Seeing the Japanese slowly surrounding him, Commander Wang roared and grabbed the nearest Japanese soldier beside him, and knocked him unconscious with one punch. He competed with both arms and ah, swung the Japanese soldier up and smashed the nearest Japanese soldier. The Japanese soldier in his hand was smashed to pieces. This time the Japanese army was really going to see him. The Japanese army surrounding the regiment commander was frightened. The Chinese man was too strong.

Just as Commander Wang swung the Japanese soldiers in his hand again and smashed the two Japanese soldiers surrounding him. A little Japanese swayed his body and expelled his energy. Several Japanese soldiers inserted this into Commander Wang's chest, abdomen, back, and waist at the same time. Blood flowed out of Commander Wang's body. Commander Wang's eyes widened: "Tortoise son, little Japanese, sneak attack me!?" Blood kept flowing out of his mouth, grabbed the bayonet that pierced the abdomen, leaned back, and leaned against a Japanese soldier.

Before the Japanese soldier could react, Captain Wang roared and stabbed the bayonet in his abdomen hard. The bayonet penetrated his body and penetrated the abdomen of the Japanese soldier behind him. The Japanese soldier stared at the bayonet that pierced the abdomen of the middle-aged man, which had been deeply inserted into his abdomen. He was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, but he was so unfair that he shouted, "God, why don't you bless me?" Captain Wang reluctantly stirred the bayonet hard, and the Japanese soldier behind him shouted, and immediately returned to Japan.

The brothers of the 740th Regiment watched the commander die in battle, and they all gathered up their courage and fought with the Japanese around them with bayonets to fight with the Japanese. One by one, one after another, the Sichuan brothers in gray uniforms fell in a pool of blood. The last clouds in the sky quietly passed away, and the 10th Japanese Regiment finally occupied the important stronghold of Cross Street. Japanese soldiers began to clean the battlefield and stabbed the injured and undying Chinese people one by one with bayonets. A young Japanese soldier came from screams and walked to a Chinese wounded soldier who had not yet died.

, Raise the bayonet and stab it down. This is an equally young man. His thigh was blown off, and blood flowed all over the ground, dying. Seeing the bayonet raised by the Japanese soldier, he smiled, revealing his white teeth, and said intermittently: "Son of Turtle, I have been waiting for you for a long time." At this time, the Japanese soldier discovered that the wounded soldier was smoking. He was stunned and understood, "Baga, grenade." Just as he was about to retreat, a shocking sound was made.

Commander Wang Mingzhang climbed the northwest wall and personally commanded a platoon of the guard company to attack the Ximen Tower. Due to the fierce firepower of the Japanese army, all the platoons were killed. At this time, Wang Mingzhang decided to go to Xiguan Station to organize the remnants of the area to continue to defend. When he arrived near the Xiguan Electric Lighting Factory, he was shot by the Japanese army at the Ximen Tower. Unfortunately, Wang Mingzhang was shot in his abdomen and staggered to the ground. His followers hurriedly helped him up. He shouted: "Hold on, hold on, defend Teng County to death!" At this time, another dense bullet swept over, and Wang Mingzhang was injured again. More than a hundred Japanese troops rushed over. He saw

The situation was over, and the dangerous city was hard to defend. He was injured several times and could not move. So he shouted to his followers: "Go away quickly, I'll cover it!" That was to use a pistol to shoot at the Japanese army frequently. None of the followers retreated and followed the division commander. When the Japanese army surrounded him, there was only the last bullet in Wang Mingzhang's pistol. He calmly tidied up his military uniform, turned the muzzle, aimed at his temple, and pulled the trigger. His chief of staff, Zhao Weibin, deputy chief of staff, Luo Jiaxin, major staff officer Xie Dapu, Zou Mutao, chief of staff of the 124th Division, and more than 10 followers, also sacrificed his life for the country at the same time.

When the Japanese army surrounded the bodies of these soldiers and cleaned up the ranks on their military uniforms, they found that the soldier who was injured in many places and committed suicide was actually a lieutenant general. The two Venus stars were blackened by the smoke of gunpowder. Now after being wiped, the two Venus stars on the general's collar were particularly eye-catching. The group of Japanese soldiers took off their military caps, stood up straight, and bowed deeply to the general's body.

In Teng County, the small village between Fei County, Yue Hanping was full of tears. Others didn't know why, but he knew that another star had fallen. He wanted to use his arrival to change the situation of the Battle of Xuzhou, change the fate of Teng County, and protect Lieutenant General Wang Mingzhang. However, the wheel of history had a huge inertia, and the Iso Valley Division actually changed the process and collided with his reinforcements. Yue Hanping encountered his troops and the Iso Valley Division and was held back and could not reinforce him. He knew the ending, the ending of Teng County. He sighed helplessly.

Commander Wang Mingzhang died in battle. Deputy Commander of the 124th Division, Xing Tiqing, led more than 400 people to break out from the north gate. Teng County County Magistrate Zhou Tong led the police to fight and retreat. At the north gate wall, County Magistrate Zhou Tong ordered the police to lead the police to leave first, and he wanted to stay and hold on. The police chief firmly asked the county magistrate to retreat. County Magistrate Zhou smiled sadly and said resolutely: "I am the county magistrate of Teng County. My county is gone. I, the county magistrate, should live and die together with the county town." After that, he jumped, jumped off the city wall of Teng County, wiped his tears, and led the police to retreat quickly.

A small number of soldiers who had lost contact with the large army in the city continued to fight. It was not until noon on the 18th that Teng County really stopped the gunshots of resistance. Teng County was occupied by the Japanese army, and the wounded soldiers in the county were stationed in their residences. About 300 Chinese wounded soldiers were still here. They heard the familiar rifle sounds of "papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa

The Japanese soldiers rushed into the wounded garrison with guns, pointing at the inactive guns at these inactive people. The faces of these incomprehensible eyes were all full of contemptuous eyes.

With hatred in mind, a sharp-eyed Japanese soldier found that the people in the middle were crowded tightly. After a closer look, many of them had grenades in their hands and smoked. "Ah, the Chinese people have grenades!" Before they finished speaking, there were loud noises, rumbling one after another, and thirty Japanese and 300 Chinese wounded soldiers turned into ashes.

When Chiang Kai-shek learned of Wang Mingzhang's death, the chairman was also infected by the general's spirit and flew from Wuhan to Xuzhou to attend Wang Mingzhang's funeral. Xuzhou was shocked, China was shocked, Teng County had three days of bloody battle, which showed the power of the Sichuan Army and the momentum of the Central Army soldiers. The people rushed to the streets and consciously participated in General Wang Mingzhang's ritual.
