The soldiers rushed into the enemy group with bayonets, and the little devils rushed up with a shout, and both sides shouted in the fight to deter each other, give themselves courage, occupy a psychological advantage, and defeat the enemy.

The commander of the Itagaki Seishiro Division, commanded the Japanese army to capture most of the urban area of Linyi City, and had already accumulated the Pang Department of the Third Army in a corner of the city, and was about to occupy the entire Linyi City.

Suddenly, fierce gunfire rang out outside the city, and Seishiro Itagaki frowned and shouted: "The closest troops of the Shina army to Linyi City are also one hundred and eighty li, according to the marching speed of the Shina troops, it will take at least three days for reinforcements to come, how could such a brave army suddenly appear?" Find out which unit of China is right away. ”

After a short time, the operational staff officer ran back and reported: "Report to the division commander, the troops who came to reinforce the Third Army Corps in Linyi are the 59th Army of Zhang (Zizhong) of the Northwest Army. ”

"Bastard, Zhang (Zizhong)'s 59th Army is still one hundred and eighty miles away, how could it suddenly appear under Linyi City?"

The 59th Army did not believe that it used to take three days to travel such a long distance, but under the supervision of General Zhang, he braved the pouring rain, walked on the muddy road, ran and marched for a day and a night, and appeared under the city of Linyi in advance.

General Zhang saw that the city of Linyi was almost breached, and he ordered the troops to attack directly without repairing and changing defenses, and immediately entered the battle.

He took the lead, defying the rain of bullets and bullets, moved the headquarters to the front of the position, calmly supervised the battle, and led the troops to storm the back of the Fifth Division, plus Pang Bu launched a counterattack from the front, and the Japanese Fifth Division was in a hurry to respond to the battle without defense, and the enemy was attacked on the back of the enemy, and the enemy and us were intertwined and scuffled, causing the Japanese planes, artillery, and tanks to lose the advantage of taking the initiative to attack on the battlefield.

The officers and men of the 59th Army and the 3rd Army Corps, wielding broadswords and rifles with bayonets, went into battle shirtless and engaged the enemy in close combat, and the battle was unprecedented.

Overnight, the Itagaki Division resisted desperately, and was annihilated by more than 1,000 in the initial battle, and was forced to abandon the frontal siege of the city, and instead counterattacked the attack of the 59th Army with maximum firepower.

Itagaki Seishiro ordered the Japanese troops around Linyi to reinforce quickly, and under the cover of powerful artillery fire and low-altitude bombardment by more than a dozen aircraft, launched the most fierce attack on the positions of the 59th Army.

On both sides of the Yishui River, the enemy and us engaged in mixed battles village by village, street by street, and house by house, and after several changes of hands and repeated battles, a tug-of-war was formed, in which almost all the company and platoon commanders of the two divisions of the 59 th Army were killed, and nearly half of the battalion commanders were also killed.

The commander of the Fifth Theater learned that the 59th Army had fought a bloody battle in Linyi, with nearly 6,000 casualties, and suggested that the army should retreat and repair in order to facilitate another battle.

General Zhang replied: "The casualties on both sides of the enemy and us are very large, we are already tired troops, the success or failure of the war, often depends on who can hold out until the last five minutes, I Zhang Zizhong is infamous as a traitor, to go through this battle, life is to wash my body, death is to sacrifice for the country, since with the enemy army, do not defeat the enemy vow not to stop." ”

At 10 o'clock in the evening of the first day, the 59th Army took the initiative to launch the most fierce attack on the Japanese army, and by 4 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the 59th Army successfully conquered the main positions occupied by the Japanese army.

At five o'clock, the Japanese commander made every effort to counterattack the 59th Army, and General Zhang personally led his troops to make a strong counterattack.

Pang Bu seized the powerful fighter plane, attacked the flank of the Japanese army, and fully cooperated with the attack of General Zhang's headquarters of the 59th Army, and the two armies of Zhang and Pang worked together to flank the main force of the Japanese army, and after three days and nights of bloody fighting, almost all the two brigades of the Itagaki Division were annihilated, and the corpses were all over the field, and they hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield in Linyi, stuck to Tangtou and Juxian to wait for reinforcements, and waited for the opportunity to fight again.

In the bloody battle of Linyi, General Zhang abandoned his personal enmity, abandoned his previous suspicions with Pang Cripple, killed the enemy side by side, fought fiercely for seven days and nights, and annihilated more than 4,000 Japanese troops.

The 38th Division and the 180th Division of the 59th Army, more than 3,400 officers and soldiers were killed, and the bloody battle of Linyi became the famous 'Linyi Victory' in the history of the Anti-Japanese War.

General Zhang 'became famous all over the world', and from various parties and news media, he had a new high evaluation of General Zhang, and washed away the infamy of being a traitor on his back.

Lei Jian said this, looking at the cadres and soldiers on and off the field, one by one, his eyes were still staring at him, he laughed and said: "This is the Linyi bloody battle, also known as the 'Linyi Great Victory', I don't know what you think about the two battle examples, whether you really understand the profound meaning of learning war in war." ”

Hearing Lei Jian's rhetorical question, all the cadres and soldiers at the meeting clenched their fists and shouted: "Kill devils, kill devils——。 ”

Lei Jian sat down, looked at the high political commissar and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Gao political commissar, I just gave two examples, although they are not examples of one camp, but they are all bloody battles on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and classic battles of bravely killing the enemy. ”

Political Commissar Gao nodded and stood up, and said to the cadres and soldiers present: "Just now Regiment Commander Lei said two battle examples, we don't make any judgment now, everyone sits for too long, I will make the decision for your Regiment Commander Lei, temporarily adjourn the meeting for fifteen minutes, and come back immediately after fifteen minutes. ”

Wang Xiaoliang and several cadres and soldiers stood up and pleaded: "Political Commissar Gao, what Regiment Commander Lei said is too good, we are not tired, and then finish the next battle example, okay?" ”

Political Commissar Gao waved his hand and said again: "Adjourn the meeting immediately, and talk about it when you come back." ”

The cadres and soldiers present walked out of the cave one after another, and discussed the two battle examples mentioned by Lei Jian, and each of them had their faces and necks thick when they discussed, each with their own ideas and understandings, and there was a quarrel for a while.

Lei Jian is a very clever person, he saw that the high political commissar decisively suspended the meeting, he must have some doubts about the two war examples he talked about, and then in order to unify the thinking of high-level cadres, for Lei Jian's explanation, he was afraid that he would cause trouble in the future, so he had to have face-to-face exchanges.

At the suggestion of the political commissar Gao, Dong Dayong, the newly appointed director of the Political Department of the Independent Regiment, put the political commissar Gao, Luo Jinchuan, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, Director Liu of the Political Department of the detachment, and the head of the Independent Regiment, Lei Jian, Niu Dali. Wang Xiaoliang, the deputy head of the group, brought him into a smaller cave conference room.

After everyone sat down, Political Commissar Gao first asked in front of everyone: "Commander Lei Jian, the two battle examples you talked about are of great help to improve the military quality of cadres and soldiers and to bravely kill the enemy in battle, I just want to ask you, where did you get such detailed information?" Are some places mixed with your personal fabrications? ”

Lei Jian has been mentally prepared, the two war examples he talked about are after decades of research on the history of the anti-Japanese army, careful verification of the parties and things, and the efforts of historians, so that they have become historical facts recognized by future generations and can withstand scrutiny.

He smiled with confidence: "Political Commissar Gao, I was arranged by you to study at the Jiaodong Military and Political Cadre School, from which I learned some examples of how to collect war examples and people and things that happened during each period of the War of Resistance against Japan, especially at present, the War of Resistance against Japan is in a stage of stalemate, and we should call our cadres and soldiers to understand all parties and anti-Japanese forces, in this War of Resistance against Japan, how to face complex military and political trends at present, and how to face complex military and political trends, so as not to become unhappy in the future when fighting with friendly and neighboring forces." ”

Lei Jian felt that what he said was not clear, and then said: "Just this time, when the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army ordered a large force to invade my base area, I was ordered to lead the independent battalion to go deep behind the enemy and attack the communication lines, artillery towers and military facilities in the enemy-occupied areas. The authenticity of these two examples should not be lost. ”

Director Liu of the detachment said unhappily: "Commander Lei, the enemy's propaganda is false, some have lost their truth, and some have fabricated it out of thin air, how can you talk about the untrue information collected from the enemy in front of so many soldiers?" ”

He looked at Political Commissar Gao and asked: "Political Commissar Gao, I propose that the detachment should criticize and warn Commander Lei's practice of propagating for the enemy, and order a review to set an example. ”
