Chapter 717: Piecing together a company

Liang Zerui's eight heavy guns began to fire at the artillery positions of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese melee, and after the eight heavy artillery pieces struck, the Japanese artillery positions began to become quiet.

The deputy wing commander of the 1st Independent Mixed Combat Wing, Nanjiro Araki, led the 1st and 2nd Mixed Brigades and began to attack Higashihui Town.

Kunomura Momoyo personally came to the front line to supervise the battle, and the two brigades of devil soldiers began to storm the defenders of Donghui Town.

After the first brigade of the melee took action, the 21st Division of the Japanese Army in Guanshan Town, the 114th Division of the Japanese Army in Zhixi Town, and the independent mixed 3rd Brigade in Miaogou Village began to take action one after another, and the Japanese troops quickly launched an offensive in accordance with the requirements of Umezu Mijiro.

The 3rd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade desperately moved closer to Binh Dinh County, while the two brigades and four infantry wings of the 114th Division began to completely besiege Zhixi Town.

The 62nd Wing, 82nd Wing, and 83rd Wing of the 21st Division were thrown into battle at one time by the commander of the Lieutenant General Division, Washizu Matsupei, who planned to take the town of Guanshan.

After dinner, the Japanese troops launched an attack at half past nine in the evening, and after a short period of silence, fierce gunfire rang out again in Binh Dinh County.

At half past ten o'clock in the evening, the 62nd Wing of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army broke into Guanshan Town, and the independent regiment troops guarding Guanshan Town fell into a bitter battle.

"Brigade commander, pick me up brigade commander, I want to talk to the brigade commander." Back to the town, in the headquarters of the new Second Brigade, Yue Wu, chief of the Operations Section, had just connected the phone call with the defenders of Guanshan Town, and he heard the voice of Tan Tianyu, deputy commander of the Independent Regiment.

"Deputy Head Tan, do you have anything to do?" Yue Wu hurriedly asked.

"Stop talking nonsense, pick up the brigade commander immediately, I want to talk to the brigade commander." Tan Tianyu shouted loudly.

Yue Wu heard Tan Tianyu's angry roar, he didn't dare to be careless, he immediately began to transfer the microphone to Sun Weiguo.

"I'm Sun Weiguo." Sun Weiguo took the microphone, and he said in a calm tone.

"Brigade commander, Guanshan Town can't hold it, more than 2,000 little devils have attacked it, we really can't hold it, if it goes on like this, the fifth and sixth battalions will be fought out, brigade commander, now there are more than 70 people left in a company of the fifth battalion, and five of the eight company commanders of the two battalions have been killed, brigade commander, let's withdraw it."

After Tan Tianyu heard Sun Weiguo's voice, he said with a crying voice.

He was originally the commander of a small regiment in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, but this time his unit was supplemented to the independent regiment, and Tan Tianyu was also appointed as the deputy commander of the independent regiment.

Ji Haotian's fifth battalion and Luo Chenxi's sixth battalion are Tan Tianyu's old subordinates, after the 21st Division strengthened the attack, Guanshan Town began to lose, Tan Tianyu saw that his troops were suffering more and more casualties, and he wanted to evacuate in his heart.

It's just that there is no order from Sun Weiguo, Tan Tianyu has the courage and he doesn't dare to evacuate, so he took the initiative to talk to Sun Weiguo, he hopes that Sun Weiguo can give him an order to evacuate, Tan Tianyu knows that if his troops continue to fight, the troops will definitely fight out.

"The troops can't be evacuated, now you still have a chance to survive in Guanshan Town, but if you leave Guanshan Town, you will definitely be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese troops, Deputy Commander Tan Tianyu, the troops will fight to the last person, hold on to Guanshan Town, I hope you can hold on to the last second!" Sun Wei said in a serious Chinese tone.

"Brigade commander, the troops are going to be exhausted, many platoon commanders and company commanders have died on the front line, there are too many little devils, if we continue to fight like this, our troops will be exhausted. Brigadier Sun, these comrades were brought out by me, count me Tan Tianyu begging you, let's retreat, leave us a little seed, Brigadier Sun, your great kindness and great virtue I Tan Tianyu are unforgettable, I will be martyred in the future, and I will never forget the great kindness of Brigadier Sun. ”

Tan Tianyu spoke in front of him before, but now he was obviously crying bitterly, and he was begging Sun Weiguo bitterly.

Hearing Tan Tianyu's words, the expression on Sun Weiguo's face became complicated, there are wars and battles, and there will inevitably be soldiers who will sacrifice.

In this war concerning the country and the nation, all the anti-Japanese soldiers in China should fight against the Japanese invaders with a mortal heart.

"Tan Tianyu, fight to the last soldier, stick to Guanshan Town, you are all sacrificed, I will take the brigade headquarters personnel to Guanshan Town to fight. My order will not change, hold on to Guanshan Town, you must not retreat, I will send reinforcements to rush over, but you must hold on until twelve o'clock. Sun Wei said in a serious Chinese tone.

"Brigade commander, I'm ......" Tan Tianyu still wanted to argue something, but Sun Weiguo directly put the microphone on the phone.

"Chief of Staff, how many troops do we have on hand that can be drawn." After ending the call with Tan Tianyu, Sun Weiguo immediately looked at Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong and said.

"Brigade commander, we don't have any troops on hand right now, but we can barely piece together a company." Zhao Lerong immediately replied.

"Then piece together a company, Hao Jie, let the guard squad get ready to go, and we will go to Guanshan Town." Sun Weiguo looked at Adjutant Hao Jie and said in a serious tone.

He gave Tan Tianyu an order to hold on to Guanshan Town, which was to prepare the troops of the fifth and sixth battalions to be annihilated.

Sun Weiguo's orders were severe, but he would not watch the troops of the 5th and 6th Battalions annihilated in Guanshan Town, and he would not wait for news in the headquarters.

"Director Qin, immediately send a telegram to the Sixth Cavalry Regiment and ask them to speed up, and be sure to rush to Guanshan Town to participate in the battle before twelve o'clock!" Sun Weiguo gave the order again.

Sun Weiguo's tactical deception of the Japanese army was to make the Japanese army think that the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment would continue to encircle and annihilate the troops of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, but in fact, Sun Weiguo had already transferred the 6th Cavalry Regiment from Zanhuang County back to Pingding County to fight, and the target of the 6th Cavalry Regiment was the 21st Division of the Japanese Army that had been attacked by the 1st Artillery Battalion before.

Whether the troops of the 5th and 6th Battalions of the Independent Regiment can hold Guanshan Town is not only a matter of life and death for their troops, but also has a bearing on whether the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment can encircle and annihilate the 21st Division.

The brigade headquarters personnel didn't say anything, they were used to Sun Weiguo's approach, not to mention that they also knew that Tan Tianyu's troops were from the Jinchaji Military Region, and the troops of the Independent Regiment were related to Sun Weiguo, and Sun Weiguo gave Tan Tianyu such an order, and they would inevitably think that Sun Weiguo was deliberately rejecting them.

"If there is no accident, as long as the 21st Division is defeated, and then the 114th Division is taken action, the Japanese troops will withdraw from Pingding County by tomorrow night at the latest, but the county town will definitely be captured by the Japanese army." Sun Weiguo sorted out his weapons and ammunition, and he said in a calm tone.
