Chapter 358: The General's Martyrdom (2)
When Lei Jian said this, he paused with tears in his eyes, he looked at the cadres and soldiers present, staring at the big eyes that were attentive, and that kind of nervous expression, just waiting for Lei Jian to hurry up and continue.
Wang Xiaoliang stood up nervously and asked, "Commander Lei, is General Zhang heroic?" Say it quickly, you, you're going to die in a hurry? ”
The cadres and soldiers on and off the field were all brave and good at fighting by General Zhang, and the command was determined, and in the end, they were shot twice, and they didn't know how to live or die, and they shouted anxiously one by one: "Commander Lei, don't you come to listen to the next decomposition, what happened to General Zhang?" ”
Lei Jian nodded and continued: General Zhang **** was shot, and a guard came over to bandage him, he smiled lightly and said, "I can't do it, you guys go quickly." He saw that the guards were defending him at the end of their lives, and he waved his hand and said: "It is good for me to die like this, and I am very good to the country, the nation, and the governor." ”
General Zhang fell in a pool of blood, his eyes always open, watching the little devil rush up the hillside.
The 231st Wing of the 39th Division of the Japanese Army, which rushed up the hillside, the little devil First Class Fujioka, approached with a bayonet, and General Zhang stood up from a pool of blood and glared angrily at the little devil Fujioka with a bayonet.
The little devil Fujioka was frightened by the tall and bloody General Zhang, and stayed in place with a bayonet and did not dare to move, at this time, the leader of the third squadron of the Japanese army, who was behind General Zhang, fired a vicious bullet and hit General Zhang.
The little devil Fujioka with a bayonet rifle in his hand was awakened by the sound of gunshots, and stabbed General Zhang in the chest with a bayonet, and General Zhang could no longer support it, like a mountain collapsing and falling to the ground with a bang, at the age of forty-nine.
General Zhang, covered in mud and blood, fought with the soldiers around him to the last breath, and finally died heroically because he was outnumbered.
The chief of staff of the 39th Division of the Japanese Army identified the tall and burly commander as General Zhang.
The division commander ordered the military doctor to scrub General Zhang clean with alcohol, and found that there were seven wounds on his body, and the division commander Murakami Keisaku was deeply admired by General Zhang's martial spirit, and ordered to make a good coffin and decorate General Zhang (Zizhong), and a wooden plaque was erected in front of the tomb, which read: 'The tomb of Zhang Zizhong, the general of China'.
The officers and men of the 33rd Army Corps, when they heard that General Zhang was killed by the little devil, cried one by one, wrapped their heads in a white cloth, knelt down in front of the ten-mile long mountain where General Zhang was martyred, and cried loudly: "Our commander-in-chief has been killed, what are we still alive for?" We Dai Xiao took revenge, carried the coffin to kill the enemy, and killed all the little Japan. ”
The ten-mile long mountain of the pumpkin shop is the place where General Zhang was martyred, and more than 600 soldiers who died in the battle followed, and only 13 people left their names in the end, which can be described as tragic and tragic.
The commander of the 38th Division, Commander Gu, heard that General Zhang (Zizhong) was martyred in Almond Mountain, he was barefoot, shirtless, wearing only a big trousers, holding a big knife in his hand, and wrapping a white cloth around his head and shouting: "Kill all the little Japan tonight, avenge the commander-in-chief, and follow me." ”
Commander Gu led more than 100 soldiers, a few machine guns in front of them opened the way, and when they saw the little devils, they strafed, and the soldiers in the back held bayonets, raised their big knives, and killed all the way up the ten-mile long mountain, fighting desperately with the enemy, which was quite tragic and unprecedented.
In the battle with the enemy, strangled together, brought great casualties to the soldiers, this army finally left dozens of people, Gu Division Commander led more than a dozen people, holding a small shovel, looking for the tomb of General Zhang in Almond Mountain, and finally found it, picked up the coffin and put General Zhang on a stretcher, lifted it to break through the Japanese encirclement, and returned to the 38th Division station.
The next day, the Japanese army was ordered by the base camp to transport the coffin of General Zhang (Zizhong) to Wuhan, and if it had not been snatched back by the heroic 38th Division the night before, I don't know where General Zhang would have been in the future.
On the order of Shangfeng, the coffin of General Zhang was transported to Chongqing, and the people along the Yangtze River spontaneously knelt down to worship. When the Japanese learned about it, they ordered the planes to stop bombing for one day to avoid injuring the remains of General Zhang (Zizhong) and to ensure that General Zhang's coffin arrived safely in Chongqing.
Ms. Li, the wife of General Zhang (Zizhong), wept bitterly and fainted after hearing the news, and died of hunger strike for seven days.
The Chongqing government held a grand state funeral for General Zhang, and several top leaders of the Yan'an headquarters of the Eighth Route Army wrote elegiac messages to mourn him, and even the Japanese army's radio station in Hankou reported that General Zhang (Zizhong) was "a peerless brave general who died in a heroic battle" on the day of General Zhang's martyrdom.
It can be seen that a generation of famous anti-Japanese generals, even the Japanese army who advocated militarism was subdued.
When Lei Jian said this, he exhaled deeply, he didn't know if talking about these three battle examples would play a role in the cadres and soldiers of the army and on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.
He turned around and gave a solemn military salute to the senior political commissar of the detachment, and asked in a rigorous tone: "Senior political commissar, I don't know if the three combat examples explained in this way will play a good role, can you please give me the next comment?" ”
Commissar Gao looked at Lei Jian, he seemed to know the half-grown child in front of him for the first time, and took the lead in applauding after half a day, and the applause on and off the field was thunderous, accompanied by cheers.
Lei Jian saw that the cadres and soldiers were very enthusiastic, and the thunderous applause resounded through the cave, and with the flowing air, it spread to the lofty mountains outside the cave, and the echoes of agitation continued. Lei Jian walked out of the stage, stood with his legs side by side, and saluted a very beautiful military salute, which once again attracted a burst of thunderous applause.
Political Commissar Gao did not ask for the opinions of others on the rostrum, and said in a loud voice: "All the cadres and soldiers who participated in the meeting, just now Regiment Commander Lei talked about three examples of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was not talking about it, nor was it hearsay, but after screening a large number of materials, combined with his own deep understanding of these three cases, through the description of time, place, and people, the causes of the war examples, the numbers of the troops participating in the battle, the tragic scenes of the battle, and the success or failure of the end of the battle, with auspicious and credible figures and information, to interpret to everyone. I think what kind of inspiration these three examples should bring us is worth pondering. ”
When the cadres and soldiers listened to the political commissar Gao's affirmation of the three battle examples mentioned by Lei Jian, and asked to find out from the three battle examples the inspiration they should get in the future battles with the enemy.
Political Commissar Gao said to Lei Jian: "Commander Lei, you can tell the three battle examples so clearly with such auspicious information, it seems that you have really put a lot of effort into it, or you can combine the three battle examples, talk about your feelings, inspire everyone's thinking, and have the effect of throwing bricks and leading the jade."
If the cadres and fighters of your independent regiment can find something that they approve of from these three examples, then in the future anti-Japanese campaign, they will adjust their combat plans in a timely manner in light of the battlefield situation and bravely kill the enemy. ”
Lei Jian was very satisfied with the statement of the high political commissar, he did not expect that this university teacher before joining the Eighth Route Army would give such great support to the three combat examples ahead of him in combination with the current anti-Japanese situation.
He, a child who passed through the former Shaolin Martial Arts School and a high-achieving student of the Military Academy, trained in the military camp for more than ten years after joining the army, and grew up to be the training director of a training base, and at this time he had a new understanding of the senior political commissar of the detachment.
Lei Jian said with some emotion: "Political Commissar Gao, it is my honor for Lei Jian to meet a superior like you, thank you." ”
"You stinky boy, the word 'thank you' should be said by me, if I have time, I really want to invite you to the detachment and give a tour of the three combat examples to each regiment, okay, don't be too hypocritical, tell me your experience of these three combat examples." Commissar Gao looked at Lei Jian with a smile and said.
Lei Jian walked back to the rostrum, he did not sit down, but as before the crossing, he gave a lecture to the recruits in the classroom, and said loudly: "The first battle case 'Xifengkou Battle', the 29th Army's broadsword team, no artillery, aircraft, all with a big knife in his hand, at the most dangerous moment, killed the majesty of the soldiers, in front of the strong enemy, fulfilled the sentence, 'the hard is afraid of the leng, the leng is afraid of not dying', as long as there is a strong determination to kill the enemy, weapons and ammunition are not as good as people, but you can't lose the determination to kill the enemy."
The second case of the 'Linyi Victory', tragic and tragic, also became the 'Linyi Bloody War', this battle, through the grievances and grievances of the two generals, in the national crisis, the current enemy, on the battlefield of killing the Japanese invaders, abandon the previous suspicions, and kill the enemy together, under the invasion of the great powers, personal grievances are all fart, only the whole country is united, the same hatred of the enemy and the courage to kill the enemy, in order to make the enemy frightened, dare not underestimate the anti-Japanese strength of the people.
The third example of the 'Battle of Zaoyi', a general with the rank of general, in the course of history, took a detour, went astray, was scolded by the countrymen, and was saddled with the infamy of a traitor, he did not fall down, nor did he justify the society and the media, silently undertook it, he hated his own mistakes, and wanted to prove that he was not a traitor with the tragic ending of dying on the battlefield with the little devil. ”
