Chapter 39 Chapter 35 Iron Man

In the serious attitude of the teacher, Cheng Jianren expected that he was planning a strategy, so he didn't dare to say anything, and stood at the door.For about four or five minutes, Master Yu's face was reflected by the light, and he showed an unstoppable smile. At the same time, he suddenly said to the people present: "We have won. The strategic planning is completely accurate." Everyone heard this. After seeing his face showing excitement, they all looked at him. When he looked up and saw Cheng Jianren, he stopped what he was going to say, and waited for Cheng Jianren's report.

After the report was over, Yu Chengwan said with a smile, "You can leave after listening to what I said." Then he took a look at everyone, because he said: "Perhaps you have all realized this point. This time the enemy launched the Xiangxi War. The biggest attempt was to invade Yuanling. Therefore, the Third Division, the main force of his first line, The regiment landed from Mituo City, headed westward, headed straight to the border of Wufeng, turned south, and invaded Shimen. If he went well, he would of course have Cili Dayong push Yuanling's back. Let's talk about his second main force The majority of the 16th Division, when the police invaded Dayanyang, also targeted Shimen. Only the enemy army that landed on the west bank of Dongting Lake went straight to Changde. The enemy gathered 100,000 people. For our resolute defense in Changde, the army they landed on the west bank of Dongting Lake will not be able to cope with the main force of the North Road. Therefore, the plan was changed, and they planned to use all their troops to deal with Changde first. So he gathered nearly 100,000 troops from west to south around this stronghold. This is our clever plan to attract them all to this core area. According to the information I have obtained so far, the enemy has no follow-up troops. Even if there are, they are far away from the fire. Think about it, the 100,000 troops are all in Changde City, and the supply line behind is so long. Ammunition and food, why? Can it be said that there is no shortage? Besides, our air force and the Allied air force are bombing this endless supply line every day. Anti-encirclement, his rear is threatened anytime and anywhere. So the more he gathers the army to Changde, his rear is empty, and our friendly troops on the periphery can take advantage of him. And our Changde defenders are more Support for a long time will make the enemy more exhausted. His front is exhausted desperately, and the rear cannot be supported. There is no danger of being surrounded, and it is not a perfect strategy. Now our friendly forces have slowly achieved the encirclement trend. Changde’s offensive, no matter what stage it reaches, must be a disastrous failure. May I ask, can the relief of a 100,000-strong army be dropped by planes? However, the situation has evolved to this situation. The peripheral troops are in danger of attacking, and it is not easy to break through and retreat. Second, the enemy does not want to lose face. I judge that in the last two days, the enemy must be desperate to capture Changde first, and then turn around to deal with our peripheral troops, so that Escape from the encirclement. In this desperate situation, we will definitely release a large amount of poison gas, but if we want to achieve victory in this battle, we must not give up the means of attracting the enemy. That is to prevent him from standing firm or retreating on the Hunan-Hubei border , so that our friendly forces will have a big battle of annihilation. In this way, the overall situation is optimistic, and our 57th Division is shouldering a glorious and great task that we must do my part. I am proud to take on this glorious task. Give this glorious task to the five The 17th Division is 100% respectful of the 57th Division. We cannot live up to this expectation. I have studied carefully. We can defend the city until the 1st of next month. Regardless of whether reinforcements arrive or not, the friendly troops on the periphery will definitely keep the city of Changde. The big trap is properly set up. At that time, our success is success, and Chengren is also Chengren. My junior brother and IBrother, you have to grit your teeth and overcome this difficulty, so that the history of the Anti-Japanese War will write a great victory in western Hunan. It is very cost-effective to win this victory with the sacrifice of 8,000 people, including me. "

His theoretical and emotional speech convinced everyone.When it comes to nervousness, he also has twinkling eyes and clenched his fists.When he finished speaking, he put on a peaceful smile as usual, and continued: "This is not some yin and yang gossip. People with military common sense will suddenly understand when they say something." Standing in the room, Cheng Jianren thought there was a good reason, but when he saw the teacher's attitude was very natural, he found joy on his face with full self-confidence.Yu Chengwan took out the pocket watch on his body to look at it, and said to him: "It's two o'clock, you can go and take a short rest. I have a task for you tomorrow morning."

Cheng Jianren is also a battle-tested person. He knows that on the battlefield, he will fight when he gets the chance, eat when he gets the chance, and sleep when he gets the chance.Listening to the teacher's instructions, it was clear that there was still a vicious fight ahead, and he had to cultivate his spirit if he had the opportunity. He left the teacher's office and returned to the room where he made his bed. Under the vegetable oil lamp on the window sill, he saw his quilt cover , spread out on the bed, and then there is a three-point intoxication.Seven or eight days and nights of fighting, and blind kisses with pillows and quilts are too few.From dawn on the 24th, for nearly forty-eight hours, I did not close my eyes.He took off the hat on his head, and without taking off his shoes, he lay down half-slanted and half-upright.The usual beds in the camp, the usual pillows and quilts, when the blind date starts, they are so sweet that they pass out.

In the drowsiness, the violent rumbling and crackling sound forced the brain, which was accustomed to training, to resume work.He jerked over and sat up.First of all, when I saw the window paper, it had turned into a cloudy white.Secondly, look at the beds in the room, they are all empty.The compatriots who have worked hard for many days are all going to accept new tasks.Secondly, he looked inside and outside the house, everything was fine, and he felt at ease. He also knew that this kind of observation was unnecessary, because he had imagined that maybe when he fell asleep, the people and the house might disappear into nothing at the same time.So sometimes when I wake up from sleep, I subconsciously look around.But listening to the sound waves with their ears, they already understood that this was another common occurrence of dawn attacks.After two minutes of silence, he quickly took out the washbasin under the bed, scooped up a basin of cold water from the kitchen, squatted on the ground, and rinsed his face and mouth with the basin.At this time, the guns and guns are already four cities connected into one.Mountain artillery shells whizzed strangely in the air, and the division headquarters had become the core of the line of fire.During this wash, several shells fell near the division headquarters, and the sound of the building falling down made the sound of the house being built quite solidly with brick walls.

Cheng Jianren thought about it, this has reached the final stage of the war, right? Regardless of it, he must fill his stomach first, so that he is ready to fight the last drop of blood today.Just thinking like this, Wang Biao, the orderly, is really an assistant who can share adversity.He put a thick bowl into a bowl of cold rice.Two chopsticks were stuck on top of the rice pile, and there were actually two salted radishes beside the chopsticks.He took the rice bowl, sat on the ground and swallowed it, regardless of whether it was hot or cold.Then he took out the tile kettle under the bed, poured half a bowl of cold boiled water into the bowl, and drank it in one gulp.

At this moment, there were continuous explosions in the urban area.Since there were constant explosions nearby, the guns outside the city were covered up.It is impossible to judge from which angle the battle is fierce now.The teacher said last night that there is a new task this morning, so let's wait in the room.After sitting for about an hour, the explosion of shells in the city did not decrease, and the enemy planes came again.When the buzzing sound resounded in the sky, he thought to himself, what's the use of sitting in the house? Immediately the bomb fell, and there were several fires in the city. He should go out to fight the fire and watch the enemy planes How much is coming.

He stood up and was about to go out of the house when there was a bang, a few loud bangs.I don't know where a gust of hot wind came in, and I fell to the center of the room a few feet away.At the same time, the window flung open, and the things in the room rolled around.The noise had already confused his mind, he was thrown to the ground, and he gathered himself together, only to feel a strong smell of sulfur in his nostrils, but seeing the smoke pouring into the central bank from all directions, it is no need to guess I know, it must have been shot nearby.This feeling just happened, and then there were several violent explosions, sending hot wind into the room.And in the shaking of the house, I saw bursts of red light flashing outside the wall.The enemy still finds this bombing method too monotonous, and the artillery positions outside the city fired a series of fierce shots at the center of the city.At this time, only the ear-shattering explosion sound could be heard in the ears, and the inside and outside of the house were confused by the flames as if entering the night.The doors and windows shook together, followed by clattering, clattering, clattering, all kinds of indescribable loud noises, and crackling sounds to fuel the fierce flames. This lasted for about ten minutes.

Cheng Jianren made up his mind for the second time, thinking, no matter how dangerous it was, he had to go out and have a look, maybe the division headquarters was directly shot, to see if the division commander was safe.In the smoke, he groped and ran to the door of the air defense room, and saw a ray of light emitting from inside.When I went to the door to look, I saw Chen Xiyun, the deputy division commander, sitting by the telephone, and Yu Chengwanan, the division commander, sitting safely at the small table. With a fountain pen in his hand, he lowered his head to write a document on a piece of paper, probably drafting a letter.The kerosene lamp with glass shade was placed brightly under the left hand.Can think of the situation of the violent bombing and land just now, he can still sit here and write an article.

Master Yu finished writing this manuscript, and when he looked up and saw Cheng Jianren, he smiled and said: "I'm fine. Now the enemy plane is far away, go out and see the fire scene, so that I can supervise and lead the brothers to fight the fire. I have already assigned people to split up the fire." It's out." Cheng Jianren knew that during the bombing just now, the division commander did not stop working for a while.Under his heartfelt admiration, he concentrated his attention, paid attention to the salute, and then walked out.Because Commander Zhou, who was in command day and night, was not at the command phone, he was a cheerful person respected and loved by everyone, so he couldn't help but detour to his dormitory to have a look.I thought, he might have a short period of rest, and went to bed.Behind this air-raid room, under a building, is his bedroom.Walking to the door of his bedroom, he saw an orderly sitting on the ground covered in dust.When I saw Commander Zhou, he was lying sideways on the bed with his clothes on, his eyes closed, and there was a whistling sound in his nose, and he was sleeping soundly.

Cheng Jianren said, "What? You let him sleep on the bed with such a big bombardment just now, didn't you wake him up?" The orderly said: "The commander was sleeping on the bed, so I was awake. I was upstairs, and a big bomb fell, and I don't know where it landed. With a whoosh, the air and dust blasted me down the stairs. The commander even laughed at me and said I was worthless. He slept on the bed as usual, but just now the plane was far away, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep." Cheng Jianren shook his head and exclaimed, "This is another iron man." The orderly said: "Who has such courage? He really can't bear it." Cheng Jianren said: "The teacher sat there and gave the order, and he didn't move at all. Iron man, iron man!" He walked out of the division headquarters with admiration, and saw that the sky above the whole city was filled with smoke again.The fire heads in three or four places spewed out several tens of feet of smoke and flames, even though they stretched into the sky.The northwest wind kept blowing, and the thick smoke under the flame head was rolled into hundreds of waves, and the cigarette end rolled towards the southeast corner and rushed towards it. At this time, there were three firefighting organizations in the city. One was the troops directly under the division, the other was the policemen who stayed in the city, and the third was the acting police chief. The few people who stayed in the city were organized into a township service team.The ordinary people who stayed in the city were originally no more than a few dozen people, and they always came out of their own accord to fight the fire and deliver bullets, tea and food to carry the wounded soldiers.As for the police station, they felt that this was too lax. When they saw the people, they informed them that they planned to form an organization. After only half a day, the people all went to the police station to register and wait for the organization to call.In order to cause fires everywhere in the police station for each bombing, the common people and nearby neighbors were asked to form a team.When a fire broke out, they would automatically go to fight the fire without waiting for the command. Each team designated a person as the captain.As for the task of transporting the stretcher, the army and the captain will contact it.With such a simple agreement, the common people organized the service team within an hour of the previous day. At this time, Cheng Jianren walked out of Xingjiekou, and saw all the troops directly under the division pouring into the two alleys past the division headquarters, subordinates ascended, subordinates climbed the walls, and demolished the houses in front of the downwind fire.The fire was blown by the wind, and the thick thick net completely covered people, and the sparks brought a frenzied air and rushed towards people.The people fighting the fire were covered in dust.Where there is a fire, the wind blows the flames and immediately sweeps them into a room.The water injected by the water gun and the water poured out of the bucket cannot suppress a fire at all.So the firefighters shook their heads, gave up trying to put out the fire, and just went to cut off the fire.Because it was too close to the division headquarters, the firefighting soldiers used the posture of charging and fighting. Those on the house used axes to chop rafters and smashed tiles with sticks.The people on the ground tied the wooden posts with ropes and pulled them, and used hoes to smash the walls.Sometimes a burst of sparks flew over, burning the clothes of several people.Everyone just put out the burnt places on the clothes, and demolished the house as usual.When it fell down with a crash, the talent came out of the smoke along with the dust.At this time, one or two enemy planes continued to fly overhead.It seems to know that there are people fighting the fire below, and it fires machine guns in bursts, and the green smoke from the bullets hitting the ground can also be seen.The enemy's shells outside the city hissed and screamed strangely, stimulating the air above their heads.But these firefighters rushed into the smoke, into the fire, into the wind and waves, just demolishing the house and ignoring anyone. Cheng Jianren couldn't help but secretly called Iron Man, Iron Man!
