Chapter 18 Longevity Bridge Melee

In winter in northern Hunan, it is the most pleasant thing to find a landlord's mansion by the Liuye Lake, light a fire, smell the fragrance of bacon and smoked fish, and sleep in it for a few days. Due to the raging war, not to mention idlers and parasites, even the landlord himself fled with his family and his family, and disappeared without a trace. Therefore, these large mansions can only become veritable abandoned gardens. The Japanese are not only born to be strong and aggressive, but also born to enjoy themselves. Iwa Yongwang is a typical example.When he led the division headquarters to Liuye Lake in the northern suburbs of Germany, he knew that the few landlord manors by the lake were good places to go with the feeling of nerve tentacles.So he ordered to camp here.

Reclining on the large carved camphor bed, the scenery of lakes and mountains, bamboo branches and chrysanthemums in front of the window came into view, and he was so intoxicated as if he was under Mount Fuji in Japan. Hearing from his subordinates that Peng called the donkey to send him Aunt Jiu to enjoy, made this Japanese general who loves Chinese women very happy.He also thought that war is really a strange journey, one can be born and die today, and tomorrow can be drunk and dreamed of death. At noon, Peng called the donkey and sent someone to bring Mrs. Jiu over.This ninth aunt was eighteen years old, and she was a village girl captured by the bandit leader from the beauty's den in the Taohua River.When Yan Yongwang saw it, he was full of admiration, and he immediately put Aunt Jiu among the most beautiful women he had seen in China.He also had a strong desire, not to commit adultery with her immediately, but to paint her as a model. Although he was not a painter, his impulse was not due to the desire of a painter .

"Your, beautiful, beautiful! Yours, take off all your clothes!" Yan Yongwang took a pen and paper, and said to Mrs. Jiu with a smile. It's okay to get naked, Aunt Jiu obediently obeyed Yan Yongwang's wishes. Looking at the clean body of the beauty in front of him, Iwan Yongwang's fingers trembled as if electrified. "Your, sit on the chair and turn your legs up!" Sit on a chair and turn your legs up?Aunt Jiu didn't understand.In her eyes, men are all the same, good men, bad men, Chinese men, Japanese men, all have one thought for women, just want to sleep.But today the Japanese is very strange.Because she didn't understand, she didn't do it, she just asked: "Why don't you sleep on the bed, what are you doing sitting on the chair?"

"Draw the beautiful you and work hard, understand?" Yan Yongwang said with gestures with his hands. Being a sex slave of a strong man, a weak woman can't do anything about it, but she instinctively feels that this involves an ancient moral issue about women in China, and she hesitates. Donkeys didn't even want to paint her, so why would the Japanese want to paint her?In her opinion, raping her is not more serious than painting her, it is more unbearable and intolerable to her.It's like some women who can agree to have sex face to face, but if they want her to have sex with her back facing her, she won't agree to it, because she thinks it's like a beast. "Speech!" Aunt Jiu spat fiercely on the ground, expressing that she could not obey.

Yan Yongwang was not happy, and he yelled at him sharply. Peng asked the donkey to bring her here, and it was his use. He could do whatever he wanted. "Draw, must draw!" He ordered loudly. But no matter how Yan Yongwang yelled, Aunt Jiu seemed to be too determined to let him paint.Not allowing the painting was not considered, she picked up her clothes and was going to cover her body so that she would not be allowed to see it. "Bage Yalu!" Yan Yongwang cursed furiously. He took out his pistol and threatened Jiu Yitai with a shake, telling her to sit on the chair immediately, "Draw, or not draw? If you don't draw, you die. Yes, yes!" Iwa Yongwang issued an ultimatum.

"Okay, I'll draw..." Aunt Jiu suddenly became soft and docile, with a charming and charming smile on her face, "I'll draw, I'll draw for you..." She twisted her slender waist and slowly moved towards the chair. Move over there.Suddenly, when Yan Yongwang relaxed her vigilance and relaxed, she ran to the bed quickly. She had already aimed at the saber, and she quickly drew it out with her hand, and wiped it on her snow-white neck. The blood was like a fountain. shoot out. "Ah!" Lian Yan Yongwang cried out in surprise. When he ran over, grabbed the saber, and inspected the woman's wound, Aunt Jiu had already passed away.

"Hi, Bage!" With this sentence, Yan Yongwang seemed to be scolding himself. Yan Yongwang, who was full of anger, was no longer willing to stay in this unlucky lakeside manor. He called his subordinates and ordered them to leave.The subordinates were puzzled and asked, the food and hot water were all ready, and the facilities for the command and office had just been installed, so how could they start? "Kaiba is Kaiba, why ask?" Yan Yongwang's face was gloomy, and he was about to get angry again if he continued. Where to go?The subordinates wait for instructions. Move closer to the 109th Wing!Yan Yongwang thought, according to the original plan, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Bu Shangzhao should have already launched an attack on the Changsheng Bridge position of the Chinese defenders. If this line of defense is breached, the 116th Division can directly drive Changde. The North Gate, so this battle should be very critical.The division's forward command post is set up to the Bushang Wing!Yan Yongwang passed down the order.

The flames from the artillery fire on the Changde North Front battlefield flickered continuously on the plain, and the low-pressure clouds in the sky made the artillery fire dyed purple.The cannonballs flew towards the city with a long tail like a broom star with a head.After the grenade exploded in the air, countless sparks separated, like a fire net.Mortar shells move slowly, throwing a red ball in the air, and finally explode on the ground.The artillery force of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army concentrated on this line, bombarding the triangular area of ​​Changsheng Bridge and Shagang.

The national army stationed at Changsheng Bridge is the 1st Battalion of the 170th Regiment. After repelling several attacks by the 109th Regiment of the Japanese Army, Battalion Commander Zhang Tinglin and Deputy Battalion Commander Li Shaoxuan were sitting in the battalion command post in the bunker and chewing cold rice balls sent from the rear.After several shells exploded back and forth, a person who looked like a mud ball rolled into the hole along with the smoke.When they saw it, it was the messenger of the battalion headquarters. The messenger said: "The 2nd company is in front of the Xiong's house. There are only a dozen people left. I'm afraid it won't be stable."

Deputy Battalion Commander Li Shaoxuan swallowed the last bite of the rice ball, jumped up and said to Battalion Commander Zhang Tinglin, "I'll go up and stabilize them!" Zhang Tinglin said: "Okay! You take a group of people there, and I will stick to it here and never move a step!" Li Shaoxuan bent down, tightened the leg wraps on both feet, picked up the rifle beside him, and jumped out of the shelter of the battalion command post.In the long and narrow trench outside the command post, there were two rows of people from the reserve team, all of whom were sitting on the bottom of the trench with their guns in their arms, resting with their heads resting on the barrel of the gun.Li Shaoxuan shouted:

"The 1st Company, 2nd Platoon, 1st Squad assemble!" Following the shout, a group of brothers jumped out immediately, holding guns, and quickly lined up outside the trench.Li Shaoxuan stood in front and looked around, raised his hand, and ran in front of him first.The squad leader led the brethren in this class, followed closely by "Sha Cha Sha Cha".Along the main road in front of us, we ran for about a li. Amid the sound of "crackling" bullets, we rushed to a river embankment.It just so happens that the embankment on the south bank of the small river is more than a foot higher than the river on the north bank. From the embankment on this side, the rice fields and plains below the embankment on the other side are quite clear.Li Shaoxuan ran to the embankment first and found the rice field over there. The Japanese army was gathering dense troops again to attack in a wave. He immediately fell to the ground, raised his hand and waved it twice. I fell down.The enemy's assault team, the first wave has been pushed to only two or three hundred yards, but this group of people did not carry machine guns. They are going to grab the front and use the machine guns in our position in front. There should be 4 of them Light machine guns, but now they encounter the enemy suddenly and cannot get the support of the machine gun fire they hoped for. They can only hold their breath and wait for the enemy to approach.Not only Li Shaoxuan made up his mind secretly, but the whole squad of soldiers also made up their minds. If they don't have machine guns, they will launch a surprise attack on the enemy. Although this is a suicidal action, they already regard death as home. Li Shaoxuan leaned behind the embankment and made a gesture, then turned his head and said to the squad leader lying beside him, "Get the bayonet and prepare to charge!" The squad leader gave the order to go down, and the brothers quickly fell on the embankment and drew bayonets. At this time, 6 enemy planes flew from the northeast corner and began to circle the embankment, but after all, because these people were too close to the Japanese army, they hid under the embankment under the overgrown reeds and were not discovered by the enemy planes.Li Shaoxuan opened his eyes and watched the enemy gradually approaching. A group of people climbed over the dike on the opposite side, walked down again, and stepped into a river bank under the dike.There used to be a wooden bridge on this river, but it was destroyed. If the Japanese army wanted to cross here, they had to wade through this shallow river with sand and water.Li Shaoxuan could see clearly, but still held back.Until the enemy's footsteps had stepped into the water, and the distance was only thirty or forty meters away, he suddenly jumped up. First, he aimed a grenade at the place where the enemy was most densely populated, and threw it over.The brothers all stood up and threw grenades into the shallow river.Countless clusters of sparks erupted, smoke and splashes splashed, some of the enemies fell into the water, and some turned around and ran away.There was no time for hesitation, everyone shouted to kill, raised their guns and rushed down the embankment.The Japanese army didn't know the real situation here, so they could only run.Li Shaoxuan chased forward with all his might, until he reached the corner of the embankment on the opposite side, he had already approached a Japanese soldier who was behind, he stabbed him with a single shot, and the enemy fell with the shot.This group of brothers saw that the deputy battalion commander had succeeded, each of them chased and stabbed the enemy, and chased them up the embankment.Li Shaoxuan shouted, "Stop!" He looked down, and at about 200 meters away, two wave-like troops of the enemy followed.On this side of the shallow river, there was no high embankment on the other side to keep it safe, so he waved his hand, led his brothers, and turned back to the south bank of the river. As soon as they stopped, the enemy's second intensive team arrived at the North Causeway.This time they were much more well-behaved. Instead of going down the embankment, they also hid behind the embankment. They fired intensively at the southern embankment with their rifles. They added a machine gun at each end of the embankment, and fired crosswise.After shooting like this for a while, the mortars behind the Japanese army arrived and placed them under the dike to bombard the south dike at close range. Li Shaoxuan took his brothers and hid in a corner, but still ignored them.After half an hour of confrontation like this, the enemy couldn't bear it any longer, and just like the previous time, they waded towards the water again.The same is true for Li Shaoxuan, when the enemy is halfway across, he first throws a grenade, and then jumps off the embankment to fight hand-to-hand.However, he knew that the enemy rushed into the river with a wave team, and there was another wave team on the other side of the embankment. He could not pursue this wave team in the river, so he killed several enemies. The enemy retreated to the north embankment. Also retreat to the South Causeway.The enemy suffered a second loss, so he changed his method and used grenadiers to throw bombs instead of mortar bombardment.After throwing hundreds of grenades, he charged again.Li Shaoxuan jumped off the embankment for the third time to pursue him, but after repeated hand-to-hand combat, the brothers were already very strenuous, and more than half of them were killed or injured.The wounded brothers, knowing that they could not go back, all turned their guns back and committed suicide with bayonets.A man in battle has become numb to death. When Li Shaoxuan returned to the South Embankment for the third time, he saw that there were only 6 brothers left in his squad. He picked out a younger soldier and said to him, "Go back quickly and report to the battalion commander. I have become a benevolent here! Another day." In twenty minutes, the enemy will attack for the fourth time, I will rush down and die together with the enemy, you can still run, hurry up!" Li Shaoxuan was standing leaning against the embankment, he was so weak that he could hardly hold on, like this It was a cold day, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead like rain, and he kept panting while speaking. The soldier who accepted the order was Zhao Zhongyong, a senior soldier. He burst into tears, stood at attention and gave a military salute, saying: "Deputy battalion commander, I am willing to die with the deputy battalion commander!" Li Shaoxuan advised him: "The battalion commander should also know the situation on the front line. , you go back and report, that’s much better than being together with me, let’s go, let’s go!” But Zhao Zhongyong just kept crying and didn’t move.Li Shaoxuan scolded: "Soldiers are not allowed to cry!" Zhao Zhongyong knelt down again and said: "The deputy battalion commander has been with me for many years, just like my elder brother, I can't bear the deputy battalion commander." Li Shaoxuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. It's also moist, but he thinks this is the time to be emotional?He resisted and still said in a blunt tone: "What are you reluctant to do? If I become benevolent, it would be an honor! I will try my best to suppress the enemy, and we will meet again later, let's go!" Zhao Zhongyong cried with tears and tears all over his face. The mud and dust were mixed together, as if crawling out of hell.Yes, the scorching of this tragic war on his immature heart is bound to leave a deep impression on him as if he has been tempered by hell, and he will become strong, even ruthless.He stood up, took one last look at Li Shaoxuan, the deputy battalion commander he respected, and then turned around and ran down the embankment. Sure enough, Li Shaoxuan's guess was correct. Within 20 minutes, the Japanese army launched a fourth attack.This time Li Shaoxuan felt that rushing down the river would not have much effect, because including him, there were only 6 people, and he would never be able to defeat the Japanese wave team of forty or fifty people.Therefore, he ordered all the brothers to lie down on the embankment, and waited until the enemy entered the effective killing range before throwing out the few remaining grenades.When the bullet was thrown out, several enemies were blown down, but the wave team of the Japanese army had already rushed over like a gust of wind, and most of them had rushed to the foot of the embankment.Li Shaoxuan no longer commanded, jumped out by himself, stared at a sergeant who was the leader of the enemy group, picked up his rifle, and rushed towards that person without thinking about himself.During this assault, several Japanese soldiers blocked him with bayonets one after another, and he was stabbed 5 times on his body and legs, but he did not fall down with amazing perseverance, and still rushed towards the sergeant. The Japanese sergeant had already seen that Li Shaoxuan's body was covered with scars, and several pieces of his clothes were wet with blood, so he didn't expect to have much strength, so he just turned his body violently, and slid his gun at Li Shaoxuan's chest. prick.But Li Shaoxuan didn't care about the assassination method at all, the man and the gun rushed forward, rushed forward, pressed forward, the bayonet was pressed against Cao's shoulder, and the man pressed on it.The two fell to the ground together, Li Shaoxuan was afraid that the other party would not die, so he dropped the gun and squeezed Sergeant Cao's neck tightly, clenching his teeth and pinching hard. The Japanese soldiers around were stunned, and when they came to their senses, they raised their guns and shot at Li Shaoxuan.The bullets drilled countless blood holes in Li Shaoxuan's body, he let out his last breath and let go of his hand.The Sergeant also died under his body at the same time. Of the five national army brothers hiding on the embankment, three of them still found an enemy and died together.The other two were exhausted and unable to move, so they could only hold bayonets in their hands in the reeds, preparing to make a final fight if the enemy found out.But the Japanese army rushed forward and ignored the search.Later, the last two brothers made a detour and returned to the city, and told the division commander the tragic story of Li Shaoxuan's deputy battalion commander. Although it has been 50 years, when the author checked the information of Deputy Battalion Commander Li Shaoxuan, I still couldn't help being moved by this hero of the Chinese nation!I was thinking, at that time, he could have chosen a route of retreat. With the loss of troops to such an extent, and he was in the forward position instead of the main position, he had a reason to retreat, that is to say, he could survive, at least he could get an extra life. hope.But he chose to die.I think that what Li Shaoxuan considered more at the time was not the meaning of death, but what he wanted to prove by death.Prove what?Is it to prove the national spirit with a wide range of meanings, or to prove the pure and independent personal value?But whatever it proves, it's enough to put us moderns to shame.I can't say we don't have heroes now, but I can say we don't worship heroes now.It would be really hard to live in an era without heroes.From this point of view, I miss the deputy battalion commander Li Shaoxuan who only left his name but does not know his hometown. After the loss of several frontier strongholds such as Xiongjia, the forward of the 109th Regiment of the Japanese army was forced to Changsheng Bridge.After several frequent confrontations with the 57th Division of the National Army, Bu Shangzhaoyi's self-confidence that had just been raised was shattered a lot.He didn't expect that the national army in front of him was defending against him with a squad as a unit, and each squad was brave and desperate like a death squad. Every time he captured a squad's position or stronghold, he had to pay It was a huge price. In the end, even an officer at the level of the squad leader felt a little bit sloppy when he heard the order to charge.In such a situation, he had to think about it, and suddenly he became afraid of seeing blood, and he was afraid of seeing groups of corpses lying in the field dripping with blood. He knew that this was caused by the love for home in his heart. But he, a soldier who is almost 50 years old and has lived as a widower for nearly 20 years, cannot resist the impact of this human instinct.It's like a person going on a long trek beyond his physical ability, as long as he doesn't tell him that he has reached the destination, he can go on like this mechanically, but once he knows that the end is near, he will "bang" and fall to the ground .According to the photo on the cloth, it is like such a person, he already knows that the end is hopeful, so he can no longer support it. Iwa Yongwang's cavalry arrived at the command post of the 109th Wing with a whirlwind of dry, cold smoke and dust.Bu Shangzhao, the first officer, the deputy captain and other military officers hurried forward, stood at attention and saluted, and reported to the division commander. Yan Yongwang jumped off his horse and immediately asked about the progress of the battle. "The peripheral strongholds of the Changsheng Bridge have been cleared, and artillery preparations are underway for the main position of the Changsheng Bridge." Bu Shang replied. "How long have you been preparing?" "It's been 50 minutes." Bu Shang reported truthfully, but he knew that this time had greatly exceeded the tactical standard.Because he was afraid that too many soldiers would die in battle, after approaching the Changsheng Bridge, he was not in a hurry to use wave-shaped troops to attack, but first adjusted the planes to bomb it, and then used close-range bombardment on the ground. He wanted to use artillery fire to destroy the Chinese defenders first. After being defeated, use infantry to attack to minimize casualties.But in this way, it is a bit of a taboo for military strategists to shrink back. Sure enough, Yan Yongwang pursed his lips and reprimanded: "50 minutes? 50 minutes is too long! Bu Shang-jun, you will miss the opportunity of the battle!" "Yes!" Bu Shang bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "Bushang-kun, I think the tip of your sharp blade is probably a curling blade? Is it ground? Is it broken?" Yan Yongwang said more and more sharply, "Bushang-kun, I think the final reason is It's because you didn't work hard! The glory of the imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire has been dimmed on you!" Bu Shangzhao was completely ashamed by Yan Yongwang's rebuke, but he just nodded and said yes, willing to admit his guilt. "Let's attack!" Yan Yongwang said angrily after the training. "Attack!" Bu Shang shouted at the combat troops and gave an order.Suddenly, a flood of Japanese troops rushed to the Changshengqiao National Army position. Battalion Commander Zhang Tinglin bent down and lifted the large earthen pot on the ground in the bunker of the battalion command post, poured a bowl full of cold water into the rough rice bowl next to him, and drank it with a "gulp" in one gulp.At this time, the battalion attached to the observation shouted: "Battalion Commander, the machine gun on the right corner is silent, I am afraid it has been hit by a shell!" After hearing this, Zhang Tinglin looked out through the lookout hole, and put the teacup in his hand, " With a sound of "Dang", he dropped it on the ground, picked up the rifle leaning against the wall and ran out. In the rice fields more than 200 yards away, there were already one or two hundred enemies crawling on the ground. The two machine guns of the national army were silent, and only a group of brothers who had been lying in the trenches were firing their rifles condescendingly.The enemy's rifles also fired back at the same time.Every bullet landed on the cold, hard ground, and a wisp of white smoke splashed with mud. Battalion Commander Zhang led a group of brothers and had climbed into the front trench.In fact, this trench is no longer a trench. It was originally built with local stone slabs instead of reinforced concrete. Due to the continuous bombardment of the enemy, the stone slabs were all cracked or collapsed, and they became a pile of rubble. It all fell flat.Battalion Commander Zhang and his brothers were lying on the mud and rocks in the trench, and they were immediately discovered by the Japanese attacking team. They were already very close to each other. Shouting to charge this way. The Chinese soldiers no longer hid and waited, and yelled to kill!Battalion Commander Zhang and his brothers all jumped out of the trench to meet the enemy.In the rice fields, the national army in gray and the Japanese army in yellow were in pairs, or in groups of three, entangled and stabbed each other. The Japanese soldiers were willing to rely on their superior firepower to suppress the national army, rather than fighting with each other, so after a while of hand-to-hand combat, they got rid of the entangled combination and ran back to avoid a dry ditch. The brothers of the national army did not chase after them, and still retreated to the trench. But after a few minutes, maybe the sergeant and captain of the Japanese army were intimidating, and the shouting and killing sounded again.So Zhang Battalion Commander rushed up again with his men.With such successive attacks, the number of brothers who retreated gradually decreased.The last time, when Battalion Commander Zhang retreated, his body tilted and he rolled to the ground. The battalion guard who was on the phone in the command post exclaimed: "No! Battalion Commander Zhang is dead!" After speaking, he called the messengers to go up to the rescue.They quickly drilled forward from the traffic trench amidst the Japanese army's rifle bullets.Running to Zhang Tinglin's side, he saw that half of his upper body clothes were stained with blood.Yingfu asked him to withdraw.Zhang Tinglin stared and said, "Why am I going down like this?!" He turned his head and saw the messenger, and said, "Quick, go and bring me all the grenades in the command post! Go, I won't go down the line of fire." It's gone!" Seeing the battalion commander's staring eyes, the messenger saw that there were two radiances threatening him, he didn't dare to disobey, and immediately ran back to the bunker of the command post, and looked at the grenade box on the ground, there were more than 20 grenades left. , he picked up the box and ran to the trench where Zhang Tinglin lay. When Zhang Tinglin saw the grenades, he laughed like a farmer seeing grain, and said, "Excellent! With these grenades, I can deal with one or two hundred people in Japan!" He grabbed the trench wall with his other bloody hand, climbed up, stretched his head to look around, then he pulled out the insurance, raised his hand, and threw one out with a bang.He laughed and said, "I hit it! Kill these bastards! Another one." The orderly quickly handed over another one.Zhang Tinglin pulled out the insurance, raised his hand, laughed nervously and shouted, "Happy! Another one!"... By 4:00 p.m., the 109th Regiment of the Japanese Army had failed to break through the defense line of Changsheng Bridge. Yan Yongwang, the commander of the division who sat in the command post and raised his wrist from time to time to look at his watch, could only hear the endless sound of guns and gunpowder, and could only smell the smell of gunpowder smoke that never faded away, but no one reported to him the news of the battle victory. up.He ordered Bu Shangzhao, the captain of the regiment, to come to his camp immediately. As soon as they met, he couldn't stop cursing: "Bage! Bu Shangjun, what's the matter with you? Your performance today has disappointed me, is your head still clear? How did you command the battle?!" As he said that, Yan Yongwang was so angry that he waved his hand and slapped the cloth twice.After being slapped on the cloth, he still stood upright. "Go and charge! You have until 5 o'clock to take down the Longevity Bridge!" Yan Yongwang roared. The Japanese are different from the Chinese.Chinese people can’t slap the face unless they have to. Face is the most important thing. Sometimes it will make people commit suicide. But Bai himself is often slapped in the face. Slapping in the face is regarded as the biggest spur. It is not only the boss, the parents, Even women like to fight, and even Japan's progress can be found in certain origins from face-slapping, which of course has not been further researched. As soon as Bu Shangzhao was slapped in the face by Yan Yongwang, he returned to the wing and discussed with his lieutenants how to break through the Longevity Bridge.At this time, his combat staff Hiroo Tahara pointed to the map and suggested that the right wing of Changsheng Bridge was Shagang, which was higher than Changsheng Bridge.Bu Shangzhaoyi and several captains were very interested in this suggestion, but Bu Shang thought that there would be no mistakes this time, so he had better go to Shagang to see the terrain and then make up his mind. Suzuki, the deputy captain, was left at the command post to organize the troops, and Hiroo Tahara and a few entourages were led by Hiroshi Funomi to Shagang to survey the terrain on horseback.Bu Shang didn't expect that his trip not only met his enemies, but also brought his doomsday. The Deng Hongjun Battalion of the 2nd Battalion of the 170th Regiment of the National Army was defeated by the 109th Regiment in the Huangtu Mountain position. The remaining dozens of remnants defended in Shagang, trying to protect the right wing of the 1st Battalion of Zhang Tinglin.Deng Hongjun had always wanted to pull out his dozens of people, fight desperately with the Japanese attacking troops, and take the shame of annihilating the entire battalion with Xue, but he didn't expect that a photo on the cloth would hit the door by himself.This cannot but be said to be the fate of life and death between the two. "Battalion Commander, look, there are a few devils on horseback looking through binoculars ahead!" A soldier reported to Deng Hongjun. Deng Hongjun led his troops to lie down in the bunker of the trench, and he also looked forward with binoculars. He found that these devils were all wearing fine woolen military uniforms. The intention of the Japanese army, but he decided without hesitation to kill them first. "Is the mortar still usable?" he asked. "It works." "How many shells are there?" "Just one shot." "Okay, get ready." Battalion Commander Deng ordered. The mortar was shaken at an angle in the position, and the shells were loaded into the chamber with a "boom". This time, Deng Hongjun did not use binoculars, and looked at the group of Japanese cavalry gathered together to look at the map with his naked eyes. Suddenly, a puff of white smoke rose from the middle. The cavalry was in chaos during the explosion, and one or two horses ran away with their passengers , the remaining few horses fell to the ground, and several Japanese soldiers in yellow tweed military uniforms stretched their limbs and lay beside them. In the last second of the photo on the cloth, his eyes widened.Staring blankly at the gray sky, he took a breath and thought with relief, he's home, he's home, this time he should go home forever, he embarked on the journey back home... The post-war "Chinese Expeditionary Forces in Showa 17 and 18" compiled by the Institute of Defense Research and Development of the Japanese Defense Agency described the death of Teruichi Funoue in only one sentence: "The enemy mortar shell directly hit the mount of the regiment captain, and the cloth Lieutenant Hiroo Tahara, the regiment leader and combatant in charge of the regiment, died." Before his lifetime, Bu Shangzhao had won a third-class and a fourth-class medal of the Golden Owl. After his death, he was promoted to major general of the army. He was the first Japanese general to be killed in the Battle of Changde. The 109th Wing had no leader, and Yan Yongwang personally directed the attack.There are indeed problems with the morale of the commander and on-the-spot performance. In fact, the two battalions of the national army have been depleted to a minimum, and what they rely on for support is an unyielding spiritual force.Bu Shang Teruichi's command just lacked this point, so the long-term attack was fruitless. It's not that Yan Yongwang is so energetic. At this time, Zhang Tinglin's camp and Deng Hongjun's battalion have been fighting so far, and they have more than enough energy. When the first-line troops rushed forward desperately, the defense lines of the Changsheng Bridge and Shagang collapsed in an instant. Battalion Commander Deng Hongjun died in battle. Battalion Commander Zhang Tinglin was seriously injured and died on the shoulders of company commander Shangguan Zhen...
