When Lei Jian heard that Director Liu of the detachment said that the problem was so serious, he just wanted to refute it vigorously, but when he thought about it, this was the anti-Japanese era, and the transmission speed of various news was quite slow, and when some people knew about it, some things might have passed for more than half a year.

Besides, these two battles have not happened for a long time, especially the bloody battle of Linyi (Great Victory), which happened even shorter, in this period of the National War of Resistance, there are many things that the grassroots will not know, and it is no wonder that Director Liu of the detachment has this idea.

Thinking of this, he had to aggrieve himself and said: "Political Commissar Gao, Director Liu, let's not investigate the authenticity of the two combat examples I talked about today, as long as through explanation, we can improve the ideological consciousness of cadres and fighters, and on the battlefield of resisting Japan and killing the enemy, bravely take the lead and kill the enemy bravely, and this effect should be conducive to the improvement of the quality of the troops, I don't know ......." ”

This was the first time Luo Jinchuan had heard Lei Jian say such a thing, and when he talked about these two battles, his blood was vivid, as if he had personally participated in these two battles.

But as soon as I remembered that this half-grown child was a strange boy who was not afraid of heaven and earth, I was worried about him, and I was afraid that this little bastard would make an accident and destroy himself.

Luo Jinchuan kept the thunder sword by his side at that time, this stinky boy, ran out of the village, broke into the enemy's puppet army stronghold, killed the enemy and grabbed machine gun weapons and ammunition, and also attacked the devil airfield at night, blew up the devil's plane, and took the devil's nest, and then it was even more amazing, in many battles, witty and brave, bold attack, the little devil who killed him scolded him as 'the devil who killed the imperial army', and was called 'thunder general' by the base.

Now this bastard is already the regiment commander, I, as his old battalion commander, is now his political commissar and his partner, but I don't want this bastard to make mistakes in his mouth, I have to give him a hard reminder.

Luo Jinchuan thought of this, and said with a serious face: "Commander Lei, I don't rely on the old and sell the old, you kid is good at everything, or you are willing to often make a unique and jaw-dropping topic, I know, you want to improve the military quality and political consciousness of the cadres and soldiers of the army, but sometimes you say too much, I am afraid that it will disturb the mood of the cadres and soldiers, contrary to your wishes, this is not good." ”

Wang Xiaoliang looked at the two battle examples that several people told Lei Jian, and seemed to have a feeling that he had something to say in his heart and it was not easy to say it, he stood up and said with a big grin: "You are all my top bosses, I don't know what you want to say, anyway, I and the soldiers are willing to listen to the battle stories of fighting devils, the two battle examples that Commander Lei said, the cadres and soldiers have heard of them for the first time, and they want to listen to Commander Lei say the third battle example, let's not delay our work here, hurry up and ......." ”

"If you don't speak, you won't be treated like a dumb person, listen to everyone's opinions, it's good for everyone, sit down." Lei Jian didn't want to make a big deal and affect the unity of the troops, so he arbitrarily interrupted Wang Xiaoliang's words.

Niu Dali said dissatisfiedly: "What is there to say about this, didn't you just talk about two battle examples?" I think that no matter whether it is a positive or negative example, as long as it is conducive to improving the military quality of the cadres and fighters of the troops, we should talk about it. ”

Political Commissar Gao looked at a few people with a smile, he listened carefully and carefully to everyone's speeches, and finally said: "Regiment Commander Lei talked about two combat examples at the meeting of cadres and soldiers of the whole regiment, and his starting point is not wrong, that is, he wants to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops through the explanation of the battle columns, which is good. ”

The high-level cadres who held a meeting on a small scale unanimously agreed with the opinion of the senior political commissar, and when the cadres and soldiers of the newly formed independent regiment sat in their original positions, Luo Jinchuan was entrusted to stand up and asked: "The cadres and soldiers of the independent regiment, just now Commander Lei talked about two battle examples, and now I am asking for everyone's opinions, I wonder if you still want to hear the third battle example?" ”

"Think, I want to hear it so much, Captain Lei is going to talk about it?"

Political Commissar Gao said to Lei Jian with a smile: "Commander Lei, then please finish the third battle case to meet everyone's requirements." ”

Lei Jian stood up, cleared his throat and said: "What I am talking about below is the third battle example, the previous one is the battle of Suizao, I may be mistaken, General Zhang's heroic martyrdom should be in the battle of Zaoyi." ”

He went on to say: The great victory in Linyi contained the Fifth Division of Seishiro Itagaki and greatly relieved the military pressure of the Taierzhuang Campaign, gaining time to step up the deployment of defenses, and finally won the victory of the Taierzhuang Campaign.

After the victory in Linyi, General Zhang collected his troops and immediately drove to Huangchuan, where he fought fiercely with the Japanese 10th Division for 12 days, suffering heavy casualties on both sides of the enemy and us, and the 59th Army received an order to withdraw from Huangchuan City.

The remainder of the 59th Army moved to western Hubei to block the Japanese army's advance along the Yangtze River to Chongqing, and after several major battles against Japan, General Zhang's guard battalion suffered casualties.

General Zhang took the lead and led his troops to deal a severe blow to the rampant arrogance of the Japanese army, and was later promoted to commander-in-chief of the 33rd Group Army, under the jurisdiction of the 59th, 77th, and 55th armies.

Lei Jian continued: The Battle of Suizao and the Battle of Zaoyi that I mentioned earlier are not a battle, but a battle with different intersections, and General Zhang will fight to the death in the Battle of Zaoyi.

General Zhang had a premonition that a fierce battle was about to begin, so he stood at his desk and wrote a letter of encouragement to all the officers and men of the 33rd Group Army.

The letter said: "My brother and I have suffered a lot of hardships since we participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and now we have reached the last period, for the sake of the mountain, how can we bear to lose a loss, so I can only hope that my brother and others will cheer up, grit their teeth, and inspire their subordinates to fight this battle. ”

Yan'an's "New China Daily" gave the letter a high evaluation: "Righteousness is heroic, every word is tears, and every word is blood." ”

Every time General Zhang participated in the anti-Japanese campaign, he regarded it as the last battle, and he was determined to die.

In the Battle of Suizao, General Zhang's 33rd Army Corps, in the battle with the enemy, killed the enemy bravely, wounded countless enemies, and the troops also suffered heavy losses.

The battle of Zaoyi was fought in northern and western Hubei provinces.

General Zhang made arrangements for the combat missions of various units at the military headquarters, fully analyzed the deployment of the main forces of the Japanese army, and the deployment of weapons and equipment, and each unit found the position of the opponent in view of its own attack targets, and waited for the order to attack at any time.

After the meeting, General Zhang didn't care about eating, so he took the 33rd Army Special Service Regiment and the 74th Division to cross the Xiang River and launch an attack on the Japanese army.

At the time of the battle of Zaoyi, it was just in time for the rainy season, and it was rainy every day, sometimes accompanied by majestic heavy rain, and the soldiers walked on the muddy dirt road, fell and got up, and marched all the way to pursue the fleeing Japanese army and reach the pumpkin shop.

The pumpkin shop is a dilapidated small village, there are several broken grass houses, General Zhang came out of a broken house, saw that the soldiers were using the villager's straw to shelter from the rain, he said solemnly: "I used other people's straw, I want to give money." ”

After crossing the Xiang River, everyone felt that the battlefield situation was very dangerous, and General Zhang had only two spy companies and a dissatisfied, inferiorly armed 74th Division, and this 1,500-strong contingent lost contact with the 38th Division and the 180th Division under the continuous reinforcements of the Japanese army.

General Zhang gathered the soldiers around him and said: "We have been surrounded by layers of enemies, the situation is quite tight, as long as I Zhang Zizhong is here, under any circumstances, I will not leave you." ”

At dawn that day, the battle began, and the Japanese planes and artillery concentrated their firepower and bombarded the hillsides and villages occupied by 1,500 people around General Zhang.

General Zhang held a pistol and ordered: "Those who have guns stay, and those who don't have guns gather in the northwest direction behind the mountain." ”

The Japanese planes and artillery carried out fierce bombardment, and after the artillery fire stopped, the little devils who were pressed by the black pressure rushed up, and the soldiers tried their best to block the attack in order to protect General Zhang, but the enemy was outnumbered, and they could not stop the attack of the devils at all.

General Zhang led his soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, and the chief of staff of the corps and Soviet advisers repeatedly urged General Zhang to quickly withdraw while the Japanese encirclement had not yet formed, and was covered by the pistol company and the 74th Division.

While holding back the attacking enemy, he shouted: "If the commander-in-chief runs away in danger, what will happen to the soldiers in front?" Don't say any more, focus all your energy on blocking the Japanese attack, and kill the little devils for me. ”

A bullet hit General Zhang's left arm, and while he used his pistol to stop the devils who rushed up, he said with a smile: "I am a general, I died today, and it will be very lively today next year." ”

At this time, there were only eight people left on the position, the Japanese army rushed up, General Zhang Zizhong's head was grazed by a bullet, the guards bandaged him, and a vicious bullet hit General Zhang's ****.
