Chapter 355: No Forgiveness (1)
Sun Eryong once jumped in front of General Zhang at a critical moment when the assassins assassinated General Zhang, blocked three bullets with his chest without falling, and frightened the assassin so much that he peed his pants and fell to his knees.
Kill or not kill Sun Eryong, who has the grace to save his life and become a brother, General Zhang muttered for a few minutes, a difficult choice, his heart was bleeding, although Sun Eryong had the grace of saving his life, but he committed a monstrous military precept.
He threw out a sentence of "kill", and when the word "kill" just came out, he turned around and staggered away, tears flowed out.
Suddenly, one night, a man covered in dirt, ragged clothes, and thin yellow muscles walked up to General Zhang, and General Zhang saw that it was Sun Eryong, who had been shot.
General Zhang arranged for Sun Eryong to change into clean clothes and cook a delicious meal, the so-called delicious is a bowl of braised pork that General Zhang usually likes to eat.
Sun Eryong came back suddenly, and he was also fatal, he was shot twice but did not hit the vital point, I don't know whether the soldiers who executed him deliberately let him go, or this tough guy was strong, and the two shots did not put him to death, and then he was carried back to the village by the villagers, and after treatment, he was persuaded to flee quickly, but he said: "I am dead, and I will die under the gun of General Zhang." β
Some generals exonerated Sun Eryong and asked him to be let live, General Zhang was unmoved, or decided to kill Sun Eryong, he overrode public opinion, and said with a gloomy face: "What I want is an iron army." β
At the banquet, the generals persuaded him to drink, but Sun Eryong did not refuse, drank wine in a big bowl, ate meat, ate a mouth full of oil, and drank bloody.
In the early morning of the next day, Sun Eryong begged General Zhang to let him live, if he wanted to die or die on the battlefield of killing the enemy, he untied his clothes to reveal a lot of scars, General Zhang tore off his clothes and ordered the division commander and brigade commander to take off their shirts, and every general present was scarred.
Sun Eryong gave General Zhang a military salute and said, "General, I, Sun Eryong, will return to you as a soldier in my next life." β
'Bang, pop' two shots, Sun Eryong, a tough guy who couldn't clean up his crotch and a sixteen-year-old girl, fell disgracefully.
"Well done." The soldiers on the field shouted indignantly.
Lei Jian looked at the black and oppressed soldiers and said, "General Zhang killed two officers who violated military discipline, which is a good example for him to be strict with the army, and every army should learn from it." β
At this time, Director Liu of the Political Department of the detachment said in a low voice: "Please pay attention to your position. β
"Nonsense, the great military strategists of ancient times are the products of the feudal dynasty, their good things, now and even in the future, will be learned and used for reference, even foreigners are learning the Art of War, don't they have a position?" Lei Jian replied sternly.
The soldiers on the field saw that Lei Jian was unpleasant to Director Liu of the Political Department, and shouted below: "Commander Lei, go on." β
Lei Jian glanced at Political Commissar Gao, who nodded, and then said: The 59th Army continued to march forcibly on the mountain roads with heavy rain and muddy roads, and the soldiers braved the wind and rain day and night, striving to rush to the aid of the Third Army in Linyi City in the shortest possible time.
As soon as the 59th Army was moved to the Fifth War Zone, it was ordered by the commander of the war zone to immediately move out and reinforce the Linyi War.
When General Zhang heard that Pang was reinforcing the Third Army in Linyi, he was very unhappy, and the commander of the theater said: "Brother Zhang, the national crisis is at the head, you should abandon personal grievances, and killing the enemy should be a heavy responsibility, you see ......." β
Hearing what the commander said, General Zhang nodded and replied: "Please rest assured, commander, when I came back from Nanjing, I took the soldiers to find a way to die, and see where they could die for the country in the future." β
General Zhang did not stop, led the 59th Army to march quickly to Linyi in the rain and mud.
At this time, the defense of Linyi had begun, and it was General Pang, the commander of the Third Army Corps, the former general of the Northwest Army, who held Linyi, and it was Seishiro Itagaki who attacked Linyi.
The so-called Third Army Corps is actually a 40th Army, and the 40th Army has only one 39th Division with only 10,000 soldiers.
The combat effectiveness of a division of the Japanese army in its heyday could withstand three armies, and at this time, one division attacked the miscellaneous army guarding one division in Linyi City, and the combat power of weapons was completely unequal.
When General Pang fought with the Northeast Army, his foot was injured and he walked with a limp, and later he was called 'Pang Kidnapper', and he was also considered brave in battle, promoted from a soldier to a general, and the war was imminent, he took the generals in the suburbs of Linyi to carefully check the combat deployment, and he was also conscientious.
The Battle of Linyi began before dawn, the Japanese army first bombarded the city of Linyi with the most fierce artillery fire, under the fierce artillery fire, the city wall collapsed, and the houses were destroyed. After daybreak, dozens of planes bombed in turn, and tanks, under the cover of artillery fire, launched an attack along the crumbling city walls.
The Japanese army continued to attack for several days, but did not enter the city. However, under the strong attack of the Japanese artillery, tanks and aircraft, the Japanese army was finally outnumbered, and the Japanese army rushed into the city like mad dogs.
General Pang sent all the idle logistics personnel who could be sent to the front line, he had no one to send, he was also oppressed by the Japanese troops to the city, and the whole army was about to be annihilated, at this very tense moment, the 59th Army received the order, forced to march 180 miles a day and night, and raided to Linyi City.
At this time, Linyi City has become a war, most of the houses in the city have collapsed after being shelled, and the soldiers who have died on both sides of the street are lying on the ground crookedly, just like the wheat bales cut down in the wheat field, messy, so miserable.
General Zhang ordered the troops to use the maximum firepower to attack the Japanese troops who had occupied the city, and the 5th Division of Itagaki Seishiro, which surrounded General Pang's headquarters, was suddenly hit in the back.
At this moment of life and death, General Pang heard a fierce gunfire from behind the devil, and he almost choked up and shouted: "Reinforcements have finally arrived." β
The fatigued division of the 59th Army did not waver in its will because of the long journey and the fierce counterattack of the Japanese army, but under the leadership of General Zhang, who took the lead in demonstrating and slaughtered into the enemy group with pistols, some armed with machine guns and some with broadswords, launched a close close combat with the Japanese army with blood and fire.
The heavy machine guns of the troops did not have a fixed position, where the enemy appeared, it was carried by four people, and they moved forward, the main gunner followed up and strafed, and the secondary machine gun shooter trotted to deliver the bullets, at that time a heavy machine gun was equipped with thousands of bullets, and more than a dozen people followed the heavy machine gun.
The Third Army, which was almost facing annihilation, saw that the reinforcements were coming, and the morale was high one by one, and the cheers were thunderous, and General Pang brandished his pistol and shouted: "Kill out." β
General Pang did not expect to come in time to reinforce General Zhang's 59th Army, the two fought in the Central Plains, General Zhang was temporarily rebelled on the battlefield Pang someone, led the team into the division headquarters, at that time Zhang (Zizhong) was in the division headquarters meeting, if it was not for the soldiers around him to fight hard, Zhang (Zizhong) escaped, I am afraid that he will die under the gun of Pang who is as close as a brother.
After surviving the catastrophe, General Zhang once vowed: "I will not share the sky with an unkind and unrighteous person like Pang Cripple, and I will not stand against each other." β
This time to help Linyi, I heard that the commander was a lame man, and the former veteran of the Northwest Army said to General Zhang: "Why do you want to save a villain like this who almost killed you and is treacherous?" β
General Zhang said bitterly: "Now that the national disaster is at hand, I have a personal enmity with Pang Cripple, which was formed in the Central Plains War in pursuit of fame and fortune. If we watch the Japanese enter Linyi City and sit idly by, then I, Zhang (Zizhong) and the brothers of the 59th Army, are the sinners of history. β
When the troops approached Linyi City, they saw the smoke of war all over the city, and the whole country was scolding Zhang Da traitor, who was holding back a raging fire in his heart, he wanted to kill the little devil bravely in Linyi City, even if he died in battle, he had to wash away his traitor charges.
Seeing the little devil attacking Pang Bu with fire in the city, he brandished a shell gun and shouted: "I am dead in the country, I am dead in the country, kill the devilββγ β
The generals and soldiers of the 59th Army repeatedly fought with the Japanese army in and around Linyi City, and the streets were full of blood, and their feet were sticky. Batches of little devils pounced on them, and they were repelled again and again by machine guns, rifles, and grenades, but they still couldn't stop the tide of attacks of the little devils.
General Zhang shouted: "Get on the bayonet, fight for the country, although you are still honored." "The soldiers who participated in the battle fought with bayonets and slaughtered the enemy group.
