Age of Rebirth

Colonel Long Bairu, commander of the first regiment of the 11st Division of the Ninth Army of the No.51 Group Army of the Central Army, was very upset. The division commander assigned him the task of defending the main position of Xiyun Peak. The reason is very grand. In our division, your regiment is The one with the most combat effectiveness, Xiyunfeng guards the route of the remnants of the Japanese army fleeing westward. Its position is very important.

The teacher smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, but Long Bairu could tell from this false smile that he was not treated well. Only I relied on the relationship of the army commander to sit on the throne of the regiment commander.

Although the teacher did not dare to do anything to him, the county magistrate would rather be in charge now. From time to time, he would make trouble for himself, wear some small shoes, etc., and would not do anything that was too out of line. Well, it's impossible to go to the army commander to complain about such a trivial matter, so he was rather depressed in the first division.

Just like now, the second and third regiments in the division all followed the commander to the battlefield at the foot of the mountain, and took those Japanese remnants to make meritorious deeds and make a fortune. Only their own regiment was put in the pits everywhere, and they couldn't see it. Go to a tree, a piece of grass, on a mountain that is as desolate as a desert, blowing a sultry mountain wind, looking down at the mountain, the situation where the troops from all walks of life are working in full swing, anxious, staring blankly, there is nothing to do.

The officers below were also muttering in low voices. According to what they meant, they blamed themselves for offending the division commander and causing them to watch others get rich. Long Rubai became more and more depressed, and the chief of staff came over to ask for instructions, "Regiment commander, How do the battalions deploy their defenses, how many battalion commanders are still waiting for you to speak?" [

Long Rubai said impatiently: "It's a fart to deploy defenses. The Japanese are not blind. They can run to this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place. Tell them, find a place to sleep, and go back to do business after dawn. Mom Everything is not going well, there is not even a place to sleep peacefully in this ghost place." Long Rubai, who was cursing, found a place at random, wrapped in a military blanket, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, thinking about troublesome things.

The captain spoke.The people below, of course, would not make themselves uncomfortable, sent out a few sentries in chaos, and heard the sporadic gunshots down the mountain. A regiment of more than 1000 soldiers from the Central Army fell asleep like a pig's head.The defeated remnants of the No.15 Japanese army hid in caves and rock crevices, and escaped the joint attack of the independent division's artillery and aviation.

The battlefield of Xiyunfeng is not big.However, the terrain was rather complicated. There were about 5000 Japanese soldiers and officers who were lucky enough to survive. Among them, there were more than [-] wounded. These Japanese soldiers have no fighting spirit.The system is incomplete.

If you want to choose a life, you can only break out to the west.The reinforcements coming from the direction of Guiyang moved closer, at this time.Those senior officers of the Japanese army have long since lost their minds and lost their minds, but those middle and lower-level officers of the Japanese army have much better military literacy than the high-ranking generals. In addition, they are with the soldiers in the headquarters on a daily basis, so they are still very cohesive of.

At the critical moment, he became the backbone, withdrew all the way west, gathered scattered soldiers all the way, and when he reached the foot of Xiyunfeng Mountain, he gathered tens of thousands of people. Xiyunfeng was the lingering nightmare in the hearts of all soldiers of No.15 Army. The gathered Japanese officers and soldiers did not have the courage to turn around to face the overwhelming First Brigade of the Independent Division, nor did they have the confidence to attack Xiyunfeng.

It is the idea of ​​a few diehards. Most of the officers and soldiers are preparing to commit suicide by caesarean section, which can be regarded as their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. When there is nothing to do, the No.11 Army of the Central Army, like a frightened flock, rushed into the west. The Yunfeng battlefield disrupted the first brigade's step-by-step clearing, and saved the lives of these Japanese soldiers who were about to die.

Taking advantage of this chaos, a group of Japanese soldiers, led by a major, tremblingly touched Xiyun Peak until they reached the peak. What made this group of Japanese soldiers overjoyed was that the Chinese soldiers on the mountain, for some reason, The defense was so lax, it can be said that it was almost undefended, and even the few sentry posts were so sleepy that they ran three feet long.

In desperation, if you cross Xiyun Peak, you can jump out of the encirclement of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops. After a short discussion, the Japanese officers divided into three groups and went to Xiyun Peak. There are more than 51 people, it is impossible not to be alarmed. The soldiers of the [-]st Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Central Army opened their eyes hazily, and screamed in shock when they saw several shadowy shadows.

The Japanese soldiers fleeing from the road broke out their survival instincts, and the crooked light machine gun roared wildly. The Japanese soldiers with white bayonets stabbed the soldiers of the Central Army fiercely, like a violent wave. , The defense line of Xiyunfeng was smashed to pieces, and the central army of a regiment lost more than half in a very short period of time. Many soldiers were stabbed with bayonets in their sleep.

The head of the regiment, Long Rubai, was awakened by the intense gunshots. Just as he got out of the hiding place where he was sleeping, dizzy, he was shot in the arm. More than 15 remnants of the No. [-] Japanese Army were defeated and swept away like a strong wind After crossing Xiyun Peak, he disappeared into the dense jungle at the west foot of Xiyun Peak in the blink of an eye, leaving behind the bloody corpses of soldiers of the Central Army, the wounded howling in pain, and the stupid soldiers who didn't even touch a single hair.

Long Rubai knew that something had happened, and the Japanese ran away from their defense zone. The teacher who picked on his own faults might not know how to deal with himself?Ignoring his bleeding arm, he shouted angrily, "Listen to me the fuck, the Japanese broke through our defense zone, it was only a small group just now, immediately enter the position, if you see a figure, you will kill me Hit, whoever disobeys my order, kill him now."

The sudden outbreak of fighting in the direction of Xiyunfeng aroused the vigilance of Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the first brigade directly under the Corps. Could it be that the remnants of the Japanese army panicked and forcibly broke through from that direction?The gunshots were wrong, most of the Japanese-style crooked light machine guns and the [-] big cover were moving, not good, let alone the Central Army troops defending Xiyun Peak, they were touched by the little devils.

He led a battalion of troops and hurried to the direction of Xiyun Peak. Along the way, he dealt with many wounded Japanese soldiers and strengthened his judgment. Intensive gunshots rang out, the rain hit the head, and more than 50 people rushed to the front of the sharp knife line, and they fell to the ground.

Liu Hongzhang's heart sank suddenly, it was broken, Xiyun Peak was occupied by the Japanese army, and a mortar platoon who came to reinforce it also joined the battle, but suppressed the firepower on the peak, but Liu Hongzhang Hongzhang felt that something was wrong, the gunshots were all Chinese, and he could vaguely hear yelling and cursing in Chinese.

After shouting for a while, it became clear that it turned out that they were fighting with the troops of the Central Army for more than an hour. Liu Hongzhang went to the main position of Xiyun Peak with a livid face. When he saw the situation, he was so angry that he exploded. He grabbed Long Rubai by the neck, lowered his voice, and asked viciously: "What's going on? Did the remaining Japanese army break out from here? How much did they run away? Tell me the truth, or I'll kill you right away." about you!"

Long Rubai panicked, because he had neglected his duties and ran away without knowing how many Japanese soldiers there were. This was a crime of losing his head. Seeing that this major general who was obviously not the Central Army was on fire, he dared not tell the truth, and said sophistry: "Sir, my department was ordered to defend here, and there was indeed an exchange of fire with the Japanese army who was trying to break through. You see, most of my brothers were killed or injured, and I couldn't see how many were in the dark. We repelled them."

Of course, Liu Hongzhang would not believe his nonsense. Most of the soldiers of the Central Army who were lying down were wounded by bayonets. Turning red, he drew a gun and pointed it at Long Rubai's forehead, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth.

"My subordinates have found out that there are at least nearly ten thousand Japanese soldiers who broke out from your line of defense. You little devils, you let them go and beat us up, but it's hard work. My sharp knife platoon has more than 50 people, all of them Die at your gunpoint, say, how should this account be settled?"

Long Rubai almost fainted from fright, ran away from the Japanese soldiers, he could deny the past, but killed the soldiers of the Independent Division, this was a big trouble, in fact, Liu Hongzhang didn't know how to deal with this matter, so he shot him dead The head of the Central Army, he has not been so impulsive yet, but let it go, he can't swallow this breath, the most important thing is that the remnants of the Japanese army in the encirclement broke out from this direction, and the strength of a regiment can't hold it In such a dangerous position, it is not too much to shoot the head of the regiment. [

When he was thinking about how to do this, the radio operator ran over, "Report to the brigade commander, the division commander wants to talk to you," Liu Hongzhang ordered, "Look at him," and several soldiers came over to keep an eye on Long Rubai.

After receiving the headset, the teacher Tang Qiuli's voice came to his ears, "Is it Brigadier Liu? What happened in the direction of Xiyunfeng? Where are you now?" Liu Hongzhang replied bullishly: "It's me. , Commander, I am at Xiyunfeng, the 11st Regiment of the 51st Division of the Ninth Army of the No.[-] Army of the Central Army, guarding the Xiyunfeng position, because of negligence, the remnants of the Japanese army broke through from this direction!"

Tang Qiuli asked incredulously: "What? The Japanese army broke through from Xiyun Peak? How many escaped?" Liu Hongzhang replied: "Judging from the traces, there are about 1 to 50 people. I led the troops to pursue them. When I was here, the bastards of the Central Army fired without knowing why, and I sacrificed a whole platoon of more than [-] soldiers."

Tang Qiuli gritted his teeth, and said in a cold tone: "Liu Hongzhang, bring this bastard regiment commander to me immediately, and also, control the soldiers of the Central Army of this regiment, you immediately arrange troops to take over the Xiyunfeng position , no more Japanese troops are allowed to come out," Liu Hongzhang knew from the chilly tone of the division commander that the division commander was really angry, and that the entire No.11 Army, including Liu Zhi, would have nothing to eat.
