War of Resistance

Chapter 469 Alternate
Ever since, the headquarters of the Zhiyi Regiment, which was just about to rest for the night, received an urgent order from Li Zongren, the commander of the Fifth War Zone, to take over the No. The position of the 20th Brigade.

To be honest, after receiving this telegram, Zhang Tianhai's scalp was really numb - let them go straight to take over the defense line of a division and a brigade?what's going on?
Zhang Tianhai really felt that with a group of current equipment, if he fought a surprise battle, the odds of winning would be great, but now he was asked to take over such a large position.

It is true that the Second Army's headquarters suffered heavy losses in the battle, but it would definitely not be the one with only a few dozen people left.

After returning to the regiment headquarters, Zhang Tianhai, who had read the order, let out a long sigh, and then said to Guo Qiliang: "The situation of the enemy around is unknown, Lao Guo, our task is very heavy..."

"It is said that Tang Enbo's [-]th Division fought very badly on the Baishan side. You can tell by the sound of the artillery. From dawn to dusk, the artillery has not stopped." Guo Qiliang said.

"From this point of view, the Baishan side is really fighting. If we are transferred to Baishan, I am afraid that we will also receive this kind of courtesy. After this battle, whether it is anti-gun training or other training, we must pay close attention. Don't wait for me, the Japanese invaders will never die..." Zhang Tianhai let out a long sigh.

"Should we reserve some troops in Zhangshan, otherwise the Japanese invaders will attack our army's rear flanks, and I'm afraid it will be very troublesome..." Guo Qiliang only spoke half of his words, but he didn't finish. After all, he is not a military officer. It's not good to talk too much.

Zhang Tianhai thought for a while, then said: "It's better not to use it! Let the local guerrilla forces take over the Zhangshan position! Just distribute the captured guns to them and the militias directly, grenades and small artillery shells , we'll keep it to ourselves."

As for the rifles and light machine guns of the Japanese army, to be honest, Zhang Tianhai really despises and does not like to use them. If it weren’t for the fact that the close-range fire support squads of each company are not equipped with Czech-made light machine guns, he would not even consider them. Using the captured large official light machine guns, in his opinion, these large official light machine guns are not as easy to use as Czech made!
Most of the light machine guns and rifles are looked down upon, but the grenade is a good thing. It is light and easy to carry. The key is that it is easy to use when it fires all at once.

"Okay, then I'll give you your order. By the way, should the cavalry battalion stay in Xigaohuangmiao?" Guo Qiliang was about to leave, but he remembered something, so he turned around and asked.

"The cavalry battalion, follow the main force of the regiment to go north to Yixian County. At that time, the main task of the cavalry battalion must be to assume the responsibility of scouting. We must not know the enemy's arrival until the enemy has touched us!" Zhang Tianhai said seriously.

"Yes!" Guo Qiliang responded, and then went down to make a retreat plan.

When Zhang Tianhai, Guo Qiliang and others were planning to withdraw their troops from Zhangshan, the battle between Zhang Zhen's [-]th Division and the Japanese army had reached a fever pitch.

Groups of Japanese soldiers with bright bayonets on their muzzles and small flags with the sun flag printed on them were charging. On the small flags were four words "long-term martial arts" impressively written!
"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

The artillery fire of the Japanese army was still covering the position of the national army, just to cover the charge of the Japanese infantry. As these infantry units got closer, Battalion Commander Bao Rurui, who was in charge of guarding the top of Baishan, clenched his fists lightly.

In recent days, although the headquarters of the [-]th Division fought fiercely with the Japanese army several times in the canal, and achieved a lot of victories, it still could not change the fact that the main force of the [-]th Division was composed of recruits.

As for those veterans of the Northeast Cavalry Brigade, their combat effectiveness is actually not very good. After all, this Northeast Cavalry Brigade is not the main force under Zhang Xueliang's command, so it has always been in a marginalized state, and it is impossible to belong to a strong army in terms of combat effectiveness.

Five newly formed militia battalions, plus a cavalry brigade with third-rate combat effectiveness, this is the entire old foundation of the [-]th Division. As for the other soldiers, they are basically expanded from existing recruits.

It would be strange if such a force had a strong combat effectiveness.

In the battle on both sides of the canal, if it weren't for the two independent artillery battalions attached to the theater to support the battle, I am afraid that this unit would have been unable to survive.

It was precisely because of this that Bao Rurui was so worried.

"Listen, brothers, these little Japanese were also born and raised by our parents. As long as we fight desperately and are not afraid of sacrifice, the enemy will surely shrink back and be afraid, or even die in battle. They are all carrying one head on their shoulders. Killing one is enough Ben, kill two and earn one, kill three and we'll earn a pair!" Bao Rurui was encouraging the officers and soldiers.

"Sir, don't worry! Our children from the Central Plains have never been afraid of anyone! These little Japanese will kill one if they come, and kill a pair if they come two!" One of the recruits said loudly, but he raised the eyebrows of many officers and soldiers around him. morale.

Looking at these little devils in front of them, the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division who were in charge of guarding Baishan immediately boosted their morale, and they were about to turn red-eyed and fight hand-to-hand with these little devils.

After the Japanese infantry approached, the Japanese artillery fire finally stopped.

The equipment of the [-]th Division was generally poor. They couldn't resist the Japanese army with grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns at all. Moreover, the fortifications under management had been almost destroyed.

Therefore, Battalion Commander Bao Rurui had no choice but to lead the entire battalion to launch a counter-charge down the mountainside.

As soon as the two armies met, fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out. Zhang Zhen, the division commander who watched this scene from a distance, immediately put the Bai Defu Battalion of the reserve team into the battle. Attacking enemies are knocked back.

In this battle alone, the officers and soldiers of the two battalions suffered more than 900 casualties, and the two battalion commanders also died and were seriously injured. Among them, Battalion Commander Bao Rurui died heroically, and Battalion Commander Bai Defu was seriously injured.

That night, when the 20rd Battalion, the vanguard of the 40st Regiment directly under the 20rd Theater, arrived at the positions of the No.[-] Seventh Division and the Independent No.[-] Fourth Brigade under Sun Lianzhong’s department in the west of Yi County, Huang Qiaosong, the commander of the No.[-] Seventh Division, was already Waiting there.

"Hi sir, we are the troops of the first regiment directly under the third theater. I am Wang Ziqing, the commander of the third battalion!" After seeing Huang Qiaosong, Wang Ziqing immediately gave a military salute with a very serious expression.

Wang Ziqing is not considered tall, he can only be described as medium, with a height of about 1.7 meters 1.8. In front of Huang Qiaosong, who is [-] meters tall, a typical big man in the Central Plains, he still looks a bit short.

"It's good if you come. I'm Huang Qiaosong, commander of the No. 20 Seventh Division of the National Revolutionary Army. Now, under the order of Commander-in-Chief Sun of our group army, I will hand over the position to your department!" Huang Qiaosong said in a deep voice, and the man standing next to him The major general is Wu Pengju, the commander of the independent No.40 Fourth Brigade.

When Huang Qiaosong was talking, he still did not forget to hand over the map of the position in his hand to Wang Ziqing, and said: "This is the map of the position jointly built by our No. 20 Seventh Division and the Independent No. 40 Fourth Brigade. You Remember to put it away, or give it to your leader."

"Thank you, sir!" Wang Ziqing said with a military salute.
