Revolution 1938

Chapter 69 The Collision at the Luhe Ferry

() It's dawn, and today is really a good day. On the west bank of Qiantang River, you can clearly see the Liuhe Pagoda opposite. Of course, you can also clearly see the black smoke rising from the city of Hangzhou.

"Master seat, come one?"

At this time, the ** Bridge opposite the Liuhe Pagoda, as the turning point of the entire Qiantang River, has the most turbulent water flow in the entire urban area of ​​Hangzhou. Therefore, this river crossing was handed over to the No. 28 Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China. The 16th Division of the [-]th Army came to use.

The 16th Division is an old unit of the 28th Army. Following the 28th Army, it was slowly reorganized from the Hunan Army into the current Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China.The division commander Zhang Liangji was the direct subordinate of the old army commander Liu Jianxu. It stands to reason that Liu Jianxu has now become the commander of the Tenth Army of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China. As his old subordinate, Zhang Liangji should have a better life, but things are not as expected.The 16th Division is still an alternative to the entire Tenth Army.

The reason is that Zhang Liangji is a stubborn old man.

Zhang Liangji, graduated from the third phase of Baoding Military Academy, from Changsha, Hunan.He is a general who has gradually risen to a high position from a platoon leader, but his life is extremely frugal. Apart from writing and drinking tea, he never deals with other high-ranking officials. , Squeezing one's own soldiers, drinking soldiers' blood, which is commonplace in the civil society at this time, is even more extinct.

Of course, it's fine if it's just the strict requirements in his own army, but Zhang Liangji still has a problem of meddling, his hand always sticks into other people's pockets.Suing Liu Jianxu every now and then made Liu Jianxu quite unhappy, why bother with the affairs of other troops at this time.

Therefore, the entire 16th Division is in the Tenth Army, and even in the third war zone, there are stones in the famous latrine. Most people are unwilling to take care of them. Give it to the 16th Division.

However, Zhang Liangji still has abilities, and he is still a solid fan of Jiang Guangtou. As long as he is pointed at by Chairman Jiang's horsewhip, he will definitely sacrifice his life and rush to the front.Therefore, the troops he led were once the main force fighting against the Red Army, and even participated in all "encirclement and suppression" and "counter-encirclement and suppression" operations.Therefore, they are not welcomed by the industrial army serial troops.

And it is this kind of hard work and upright attitude that makes Zhang Liangji's general career not very stable, and he is always squeezed out. However, he is appreciated for his firm support of Chairman Jiang. The deputy commander of the army and the executive director of military law in the ninth theater. Unfortunately, in the original history, he was finally bombed by a Japanese aircraft in Yichun, Jiangxi Province in August 1941 when he was inspecting the anti-Japanese protection project, and unfortunately died in the line of duty.Only 8 years old.Finally, he was buried in the Martyrs Cemetery of Nanyue Martyrs' Shrine.

Of course, the situation today is similar. The sound of gunfire all night and the smoke of gunpowder after dawn are telling the soldiers of the Republican Party on the other side that Hangzhou probably already belongs to the industrial army.But at the chairman's request, you can't go if you don't go. Well, you Zhang Liangji don't claim to be the chairman's sword, so let your 16th division go and touch the other side's tiger's ass.

At this time, Zhang Liangji actually wanted to cross the river. As a man who has fought against the industrial army for decades, he did not believe that the industrial army on the opposite side would be as incredible as the rumors said. I got something good from the Soviet Union in the north, so I am so arrogant.What's the matter!After being a soldier for so many years, Zhang Liangji has never seen anything, and the Soviets are nothing but nothing, perhaps not as good as the Japanese themselves.I'm not even afraid of Japan itself, but I'm afraid of those goods from the Soviet Union?

Thinking of this, Zhang Liangji snuffed out the eye that had been smacked a few times on the pillar, and then put it back in his pocket. He didn't have much allowance, and most of it was used to help his brothers, so it couldn't be wasted. Servant ran over.

"Master's seat, Mr. Tao of the 62nd Division sent a telegram that two large steel ships appeared in the Xiashatou border. The visual tonnage was not less than 5000 tons. Weapons were found on board. In addition, many strange aircraft were found on the other side, and the visual firepower was very fierce."

"It's very fast, adjutant. Hurry up and inform the regiment to make final preparations and cross the river immediately. I'll see if I arrive first or the industrial army arrives first! In addition, let them reserve some space, and I will go there together."

"Yes!" The adjutant who had been waiting behind him hurried down the downhill fleet.And he himself continued to observe the opposite bank with a telescope. At this time, the other entourage had already begun to pack up in a hurry.

It didn't take long, and the whole regiment had already packed up. Zhang Liangji boarded the boat, sat down directly on the bow, and then ordered his men to sail. ** There used to be a bridge, but it was blown up by the Republican Party itself during the Puhai World War I, fearing that Ri himself would drive straight in.But fortunately, the straight-line distance between the two sides here is only more than 900 meters.It takes a while by boat.

When the boat arrived in the middle of the river, Zhang Liangji felt that there should be no problems. The other side was still quiet. Across the hill, some gunpowder smoke could be seen in the distance, but it had almost dissipated. A few river gulls chased the ferry and turned up and down. fly.It's so unsatisfying!

Suddenly, his adjutant suddenly called out.

"Master, look, what is that?"

Following the adjutant's hand, Zhang Liangji saw several dark shadows appearing on the top of the mountain in the distance.

"It's a bird!" Talking to himself, Zhang Liangji raised his binoculars and looked in that direction.I saw several boat-shaped things appearing in the field of vision.On it, there are things that are similar to the bamboo dragonflies that children play with.

"Damn, the engineering army is here, give me more fuel, hurry up, hurry up. Row hard!"

It's a pity that although the boatmen are all working together, wooden ferries are no match for modern machinery. Zhang Liangji can only watch helplessly as these strange planes hover slowly in mid-air. A rope can quickly land, and after a while, a defensive position was established on the simple pier of **. At this time, the ferry of the 16th Division was still more than 100 meters away from the pier.

This scene made Zhang Liangji's teeth itch with hatred. He almost couldn't bear the urge to let his subordinates shoot several times, but he finally held back. Knowing where the industrial army came from clashed.

The ferry slowly approached, but the engineering army on the pier didn't respond much. One of the soldiers with a three-star bar on his shoulder walked out of the defensive position and stopped in front of the pier, waiting for the ferry to dock.At this time, Zhang Liangji couldn't bear it any longer, before the boat under his feet was moored properly, he jumped on it with one step, and aggressively rushed at the captain.

"Which part are you from, why did you occupy the ferry?"

"Mr. Lieutenant General, now ** Ferry is the defense area under the jurisdiction of our 38th Army Group. May I ask which part you are in?"

Seeing the other party make a military salute, Zhang Liangji, who was born in the military, naturally returned the salute!

"We are the 28th Division of the 16th Army of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China, the Tenth Group Army of the Third War Zone, and I am the division commander Zhang Liangji.

The first thing I want to point out is that there is no so-called 38th Army in the sequence of our Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China.You are illegally armed. "

"Hehe, Lieutenant General Zhang, you can't decide whether we are legal or not. It needs to be decided by your Generalissimo Jiang. And we don't really care much. I just want to tell Mr. Lieutenant General that now ** The ferry is already a defense area of ​​our army. If you are going to visit, I can report it to you and let the public relations department arrange it. If you want to get involved, then the responsibility for instigating friction will be on your head. I think your Generalissimo Jiang definitely doesn't want to see this."

Seeing the other party's half-smile, Zhang Liangji became furious instantly, and pulled out his pistol involuntarily, but what it did was the sound of a machine gun reloading from the position behind the captain.And on the ferry behind him, the sound of rifles being loaded also sounded one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense.

But compared to Zhang Liangji, the captain on the opposite side was calm and relaxed, looking at the lieutenant general opposite him with a smile. At this time, Zhang Liangji's adjutant also jumped onto the pier and pressed the pistol that Zhang Liangji was holding high.

"Sir, we are all Chinese. Chinese people don't fight Chinese people, but we are the legal armed forces of the Republic of China. As our country's territory, we are qualified to come here."

"I know this, I didn't say it, if you are visiting, I will report it for you. After all, we snatched this place from Ri himself. If you want us to let it out directly, then you can only get it from me. Snatched over the corpse."

The calm captain on the opposite side downplayed his own death, and that expression chilled Zhang Liangji and his adjutant on the opposite side.

"What was taken back from Ri himself, I just saw it when I was crossing the river, and there is no one here."

"Really, then before we came, why didn't you cross the river! Don't see the Japanese who are scared to death, but the Chinese who see themselves are extremely arrogant. When we fought fiercely all day and night yesterday, when we wiped out the 9th Division, you guys where?"

Hearing what the captain said, the two gasped.The 9th Division, their 16th Division has never been touched before. In the battle of Puhai, the 16th Division encountered the 9th Division in Luodian. After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, they finally lost 60% of the battle and returned to Jiaxing. At that time, the entire 16th Division faced the 9th Division. The viciousness of the 9th Division is deeply remembered, but now, the little captain on the opposite side said lightly about the annihilation of the [-]th Division. In his expression, it was just as simple as eating a meal.This made Zhang Liangji have to think about what to do if there was a fight.

At this time, the adjutant behind him suddenly pulled his sleeve to signal him to look into the distance, and he saw more than a dozen chariots rushing towards the pier. The chariots had no tracks and used forums, so they were very fast. After a while, it stopped behind the pier, and many soldiers jumped out of the car quickly.One of them ran to the pier quickly and saluted the captain.

"Jin Quansheng, commander of the 112st Company of the 334nd Battalion of the 2th Regiment of the [-]th Division, reports to you that I am not ordered to assist in the defense of Liuhe Ferry."

Zhang Liangji, who was watching from the side, shrank his eyes. Until today, there is nothing he can do, he can only speak

"Sir, please help me with the report. Let me say that the 28th Division of the 16th Army of the Republic of China Revolutionary Army, the [-]th Group Army of the Third War Zone, hopes to observe the battle in Hangzhou."

As he spoke, he also gave a military salute to the captain.
