Three battalions of the bloody city tower were killed

On March 27, the Japanese army increased its troops in Lunan on a large scale, and the commander of the 31st Division, Chi Fengcheng, led the officers and soldiers of the division to guard Taierzhuang and wait for the battle. At the moment when the war tended to be the most intense, the Battle of Taierzhuang also reached its climax.

Chairman Chiang personally went to the front-line Chehuishan Station to prepare to go to Taierzhuang South Station to watch the battle.

Li Zongren tried his best to dissuade him: "The safety of the chairman of the committee is the success or failure of the country's long-term war of resistance against Japanese aggression, and we must not take any risks."

The chairman of the committee said: "Before the heroic martyrdom of Master Wang Mingzhang and the whole division in Teng County, I regret that I have never met him. ”

Chairman Chiang finally went to Taierzhuang South Railway Station to meet Chi Feng Cheng, accompanied by Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and others, which made Chi Feng Cheng very pleasantly surprised.

Chairman Jiang took Chi Fengcheng's hand and said, "Your commander said that you are a loyal, brave and capable person, and it seems that this is true today. ”

After hearing this, Chi Fengcheng was grateful, and said excitedly: "Our division will definitely fight to the end, live and die with the position, and repay the country and the kindness of the committee." ”

The chairman of the committee praised and encouraged Chi Fengcheng, and then said some encouraging words to his subordinates, and then waved goodbye to everyone.

There were enemy planes flying in the sky, and artillery bombarded on the ground. At this critical juncture, the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee was able to go to the front line in person regardless of his safety, which touched all the officers and men of the 31 st Division and completely boosted the morale of the officers and men of the whole division.

"Head, the chairman has already gone back. Would you like to take this opportunity to meet your brother? The Black Tiger stepped forward and asked.

"See what you see! He's at war right now, and besides, he's already a good big brother, more qualified than me. There was intelligence that the Japanese army sent agents to infiltrate Xuzhou, and we went back immediately. ”

After speaking, the black tiger returned to Xuzhou with the peripheral team members.

"Boom Boom"

The artillery in the Beicheng position rumbled, and the Japanese army launched a third attack on Taierzhuang after receiving reinforcements.

In charge of the position at the small north gate was the 3rd Battalion of the 181st Regiment, and they were besieged by thousands of devils, as well as the indiscriminate bombardment of more than a dozen planes and dozens of artillery.

The entire position was filled with gunsmoke, and the black smoke that ignited wanted to obscure the sky.

"Brothers, fight to the death!"

The commander of the third battalion of "Da Da Da" took a machine gun and opened fire on the top of the North City Tower, while commanding his subordinates to launch a counterattack against the devils below.

Under the cover of tanks, the devils attacked the northern wall, and several openings were quickly made above the north wall.

The commander of the third battalion ordered loudly: "Third company commander! Take your people to the devils who block the gap! ”

"Yes!"

The commander of the third company immediately ordered the platoon to go to various gaps to block the devils, although it was a platoon unit, but some platoons did not even have the number of people in a squad.

The third battalion commander continued to order: "The rest of the people smashed these **** with grenades!"

"Throw it!" "Throw!" “……”

The fighters of the third battalion kept pulling grenades and throwing them downward. They don't know where the grenade is thrown, and they don't care if they kill the enemy or not, they just repeat an action by inertia.

"Boom, boom."

Grenades rained down from above the walls, but they did little against the tanks and could only be suppressed slightly.

The devils came to the city with troops, and the tanks could not advance due to the mountains of ruins. The infantry in the rear crawled in the direction of the breach, bypassing the tanks.

"Hit!"

The commander of the third company had already set up machine guns on the side of the city wall above the gap.

"Da Da Da"

The two machine guns fired angrily, and a dozen devils in front of them climbed halfway to the head and were shot in the back and died on the slope.

"Shoot!"

A devil second lieutenant directs a machine-gun crew to shoot above the city walls.

"Spit Spit Spit

Dense earth splashes flew on the city walls, and several soldiers were also shot one after another, and some fell directly from above.

"Rush!" "Rush!" “……”

Another team of devils rushed over desperately.

"His grandmother's, where did he come from such a bitch!"

The commander of the third company cursed and set up the machine gun again. But there were many enemies below, and they climbed up like ants, and covered with heavy weapons, and soon climbed to the top of the gap.

"Kill!" "Fight!" “……”

The five fighters were strapped to their bodies with grenades, and one by one they went off from above.

"Boom Boom"

Below it was deafening, flying sand and rocks, and flesh and blood were flying. Some of the devils were blown to pieces and mutilated limbs. Severed limbs and legs can be seen everywhere.

The soldiers of the national army were completely desperate to fight, and the devil soldiers began to be afraid and retreated, and even the devil would be disgusted when he saw this bloody scene.

The soldiers of the third battalion had already realized that they would fight to the death, and they received an order: without reinforcements, fight to the last man.

"Early death and late death are all deaths, it is better to die vigorously with the battalion commander! Everyone has a companion in the underworld, and Lao Tzu will take everyone to continue to kill devils! ”

This is what the commander of the third battalion said to the soldiers of the third battalion before the battle, and the soldiers of the whole battalion have long regarded death as home!

"Boom, boom!"

The devils then attacked the gap in the wall with heavy artillery, and it was clear that the gap was too small. Not long after, the wall on the west side of the north wall could not withstand the shelling and collapsed directly, and some soldiers did not have time to evacuate and fell along with the city wall.

Two squads of devils began to pour in from the collapse.

The third battalion commander roared angrily: "Kill!"

The remaining more than 100 people in the third battalion carried big knives, rushed to the landslide under the leadership of the battalion commander, and started a bloody hand-to-hand fight with the devils.

On the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, the ubiquitous screams vividly showed the tragedy of this battle.

After a round of desperate fighting, the only three battalion commanders left in the three battalions were alone. I saw him sitting alone on the mountain of corpses, sticking his big knife aside, looking at the corpses all over the ruins. It feels like he has given up resistance.

The third battalion belongs to the Northwest Army, most of the soldiers are from Shaanxi, and the commander of the third battalion is also from Shaanxi.

"The first to fifteen-fifteen months are high

The spring breeze swings the willows

Peach blossoms bloom ............ in March"

The commander of the third battalion suddenly sang, he sang it for these dead comrades. At this moment, a large group of devils rushed up and surrounded the three camps.

A devil lieutenant stepped forward and said with respect: "I salute your courage, and if you are willing to surrender, I guarantee your safety."

The third battalion commander put his hands on his knees, lowered his head and smiled, and asked, "Little devil, is Lao Tzu's singing good?"

"Are you willing to surrender?"

"Lao Tzu asked you if it sounded good?"

Lieutenant Devil replied helplessly, "That's good."

The third battalion commander smiled and said fiercely: "Then go down and listen!"

"Hiss" the commander of the third battalion sounded the grenades that had long been collected and hidden under the adobe bricks. only heard a "boom", and the third battalion and this group of devils died together, fulfilling his promise before the war. The battle ended with the death of all three battalions.

The tenacity of the national army, the heroism of the national army, and the uselessness of the national army made the Japanese wing commander who watched the battle in the rear ashamed, and also had more respect for this unit. In his detailed report on the battle, he wrote:

…… The fighting spirit of the Guanchina Army since the morning and the courage to fight to the death are astounding. The enemy defenders put up a stubborn resistance until the last man. Although I am an enemy, I also sigh for it! It seems that the corpse mountain and blood river are not unique to our Japanese army. ……

March 27, Showa 13
