Chapter 22: Changtang of the 4th Battalion
6.22 Changtang of the 4th Battalion
Lan Yundong felt that the bearing capacity of the pre-10th division had reached the limit, and the enemy they faced was no longer the 150th wing, and as the battle deepened, many units of the 114th division appeared in front of the position of the pre-10th division.

The situation on the Hongjiabian and Jingqiao sides is better, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the position in the direction of Xiabao as about to collapse, Huangjiazhuang has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, Dacaojia and Xingang Village have entered the stage of white-knuckle battle, Changtang on the shore of Shijiu Lake was cut off half an hour ago, and a battalion there does not know what is going on now......
The location of Changtang was originally excellent, in front of the Changtang position is a small river, although the water is not deep but the infantry is absolutely not able to pass, the 2nd Regiment and 1st Battalion stationed there built improvised fortifications by the river, Lan Yundong has always thought that Changtang is the most stable place, but he did not expect that now he is most worried about Changtang.
In order to prevent the worst result in the Changtang position, Lan Yundong transferred 2 companies to reinforce the 1st Battalion at the first time.
Regardless of whether the position is there or not, you can give a word! What a desperate person!
*****************************************************************************************
Changtang, the position of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment.
The corpses on the river beach on the side of the 1st Battalion were covered with a thick layer, and as Lan Yundong thought, the commander of the 1st Battalion also thought that their position was difficult to attack, so he relaxed his vigilance, and as a result, they were attacked by the Japanese army.
The Japanese army attacking the 1st Battalion was the 114th Wing of the 115th Division, and the wing commander was called Yazaki Setsuzo, Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa watched the attacks of the 150th Wing repeatedly frustrated, and he launched an attack privately according to his desire to make meritorious contributions.
The captain of the Yazaki Festival Triple Wing bypassed the area where the 150th Wing and the 10th Division were fighting fiercely, and sneaked to the Shimbashi River.
When I first saw this small river, which was not too wide and not too deep, the captain of the third wing of the Yazaki Festival still felt troubled, if the 115th Wing forced to cross the front, it would be difficult to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, and it would cause large casualties, and it was even more unrealistic to make a detour to find a bridge, the Nanjing City Defense Command had ordered to blow up most of the bridges on the rivers near Nanjing City since the 10th and 114th Divisions started the battle, and the remaining bridges were guarded by strong soldiers of the Central Army.
The cunning Captain of the Yazaki Triple rolled his eyes a few times, and he pressed the success of the surprise attack on the stone mortar lake next to him.
A squadron of Japanese vanguard troops was launched in rubber boats from a distance of 3 kilometers from Changtang, and under the cover of night, these Japanese troops successfully landed from the rear of the defenders of Changtang, and the 1st Battalion was beaten with a dull stick as soon as it came up.
The 115th Wing's landing unit first cut the telephone line of the 1st Battalion, so that the 1st Battalion lost the opportunity to find reinforcements, and at the same time that the Japanese troops behind them entered the Changtang position, the main force of the 115th Wing on the other side of the river also began to force the crossing, and the 1st Battalion Commander knew that he and his men had fallen into the pockets of the little devils tonight.
The officers and men of the 1st Battalion, who knew that they were already in a desperate situation, burst out into a strong fighting force, and they fought with the Japanese army in a heap, from the trenches to the river bank everywhere with officers and soldiers on both sides scuffling together.
The Japanese soldiers did not have an advantage in strength or size in front of the Chinese soldiers, but the good military quality of the Japanese army made up for these shortcomings, and often a Japanese soldier could kill several Chinese soldiers in a row before being knocked down, and as there were more and more devils crossing the Xinqiao River, the resistance of the 1st Battalion began to become more and more weak.
At this critical juncture, the two companies sent by Lan Yundong arrived, and the reinforcements saw that Changtang was about to lose, so they immediately entered the battle, and the officer who led the team did not forget to send someone back to the division headquarters to report.
The signal soldiers who reported the news were running wildly in the night, and they were eager to step on the Hot Wheels under their feet, and as soon as Changtang was lost, the Japanese would be able to detour back to the back of the 10th Pre-10th Division, and then the entire Pre-10 Division would be in trouble!
There is a distance of 17 or 8 kilometers from the Changtang position to the headquarters of the 10th Pre-10th Division in Lishui County, and it will take at least more than one hour to rely on human legs.
So the target of the signal corps was Houcao Village, and when they came, they found that there was a unit there, and more importantly, there was a radio station there!
Houcao Village is only less than 4 kilometers away from Changtang, and the communication troops of the 10th Pre-10th Division almost directly rushed into Houcao Village, and they did not dare to delay for a second!
Unexpectedly, a few figures rushed out of the shadows, throwing all the communication soldiers to the ground, and the cold bayonets were pasted on their faces, giving people goosebumps!
What kind of army are these people from? They all have a strong murderous aura on them!
"Brothers! Don't get me wrong! We are in the 10th Division, Changtang was attacked by the Japanese army, and it seems that we will not be able to hold it! Hurry up and help us notify the division! ”
"Pre-10 divisions? I ask you, how many devils are there? Changtang is going to die so soon? ”
"It's too dark! Didn't see clearly! We were ordered to reinforce the 1st Battalion of Changtang, and from a long distance, we saw the fire on the river beach, and the black and oppressive devils in the river kept rushing to the shore! I think there's got to be at least one... No! No! ... Two brigades! ”
"Only two brigades of devils beat you like this? Sun! ”
What the? Are there still two brigades of devils missing? In the face of a Japanese attack of this scale, it would take at least 2 regiments to resist! How do you listen to these GIs say it as if it were an understatement?
"I'm not talking nonsense with you! I'm going to borrow a radio station! ”
The communications soldier struggled on the ground, and the other party did not let them regain their freedom during the conversation just now.
It's fucking not authentic!
"Take them to the group! It shouldn't look like a traitor or a spy......"
The leader of the group spoke, and a few of the signal soldiers regained their mobility, and they got up to curse a few words, only to see that the other was wearing that strange green uniform.
This kind of military uniform is only available in one army, and that is the 99th Army!
"The brothers are... Be... The men and horses of the 47th Independent Brigade?"
Several communication soldiers were ecstatic, if it was really the troops of the 99th Army that camped in Houcao Village, then the 1st Battalion would have been saved!
"The sun! What kind of thing is the 47th Brigade of Independence! Lao Tzu is from the 139th Division! Do you know the 139th Division? The basic unit of the 99th Army! ”
139 Division! How could they appear so close to the defense line of the Pre-10 Division? Several signal soldiers didn't have time to think about the answer, they remembered the mission of their trip, and they were all eager to meet the commander of the 139th Division in Houcao Village, they needed radio help!
Lan Yundong's staff officer suddenly heard a strange call sign from the radio, and the other party directly shouted for Lan Yundong, the staff officer hesitated, and then an eager voice came from the radio:
"Blue Ginseng! I am a correspondent of the reinforcements in the direction of Changtang! Changtang was attacked by the Japanese! Send reinforcements! ”
The staff officer felt that the matter was very important, and he immediately notified Lan Yundong, who was wandering by the map, and when Lan Yundong heard that something had happened to Changtang, he hurriedly rushed to the side of the radio, grabbed the microphone and asked loudly:
"How many Japanese troops are there in the direction of Changtang? How long will the 1st Battalion last? ”
"Take a seat! There are at least 2 brigades of devils here in Changtang! 1 Battalion... The 1st Battalion is already dying, and our Company Commander Zhang rushed forward with his troops, but it is estimated that it will not last long......"
"Where are you now? Where did the radio come from? Is it in the 1st regimental headquarters? Let the head of 1 regiment speak! ”
Lan Yundong's reaction was very fast, the reinforcements he sent were not equipped with radios, these communication soldiers must be using radio stations in other places to ask for help from themselves, and the closest place to Changtang and a radio station should be the regimental headquarters of the 1st Regiment!
Obviously, Lan Yundong guessed wrong this time, and an unfamiliar voice came out of the radio, which was definitely not the head of the 1st regiment.
"Blue Ginseng! You don't have to ask our number, just know that we are allies! You can arrange reinforcements for Changtang! You don't have to worry about the time! You have at least 8 hours left! ”
8 hours? Isn't the 1 battalion already in a desperate situation? How can it be so long?
It must have been this friendly army that lended a hand!
"Hey! Feed! On behalf of the Pre-10th Division, I would like to express my gratitude to you! Are you the independent 47th Brigade of Brigade Commander Xie? Changtang pleases you! There are quite a few Japanese troops in this group, and I am thankful to the brigade commander! ”
Lan Yundong thought that the other party was Xie Wendong's independent 47th Brigade, but he didn't know why when he heard that there were troops of the 99th Army near Changtang, the heart that originally mentioned his throat suddenly returned to his stomach.
Li Yuhe, the commander of the 539th Regiment of the 139th Division on the radio station, shook his head and smiled bitterly, the 139th Division is really wronged! fought against them, and all the credit went to Xie Wendong!
Because Wang Shankui had ordered all troops not to expose their numbers, Li Yuhe did not refute Lan Yundong's words, but he heard from Lan Yundong's words that the 10th Division seemed to be a little uneasy, what is it called, "There are a lot of Japanese troops in this force, fortunately thank the brigade commander!" ”
Lan Yundong's implication seems to be that the 99th Army must send at least an entire independent 47th Brigade to relieve the siege of Changtang?
Isn't this looking down on our 99th Army?
Li Yu and their old men of the original 99th Division were very arrogant, and in their eyes, Lan Yundong's words were almost insulting them!
The devils of the 2 brigades still need the 99th Army to dispatch a brigade?
Li Yuhe felt that he must get back this face!
"You don't have to be polite, isn't it 8 hours? Small scenes! Let's send a battalion to relieve your troops! Just look at it! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Lan Yundong to speak, Li Yuhe hung up the phone, and he inserted his waist and said a foul word first:
"The Sun!"
This civilized way of speaking rudely does not need to be asked, and it is a new thing brought by Huang Haoran......
"Cai Zude, you take your 4th battalion to Changtang! Open your eyes to those boys in the pre-10 division! I still have to prepare a plan for the military seat here, I don't have time to care about you, you just need to stay in Changtang for 8 hours and hand over the position to the 10th Division! Once you know the task, let's go! ”
The commander of the 4th battalion, Cai Zude, agreed, left the regimental headquarters to assemble the troops, and in only five minutes, more than 600 officers and soldiers in full armor stood in front of Cai Zude.
"Dolls! We're going to work for the 10th Division tonight, don't be reluctant one by one! I tell you! The devils in Changtang are no less than those in Jingqiao! Maybe we can get a better position than the other battalions! No more gossip! Let's go! ”
After fifteen minutes of forced march, the 4th battalion appeared in the rear of the Changtang position......
There are few officers and soldiers left in the pre-10th division on the position, and the pre-10th division is originally a small formation, so the 1st battalion plus the 2 companies that have been reinforced are only less than 600 people, and now the Japanese troops who have crossed the Xinqiao River have exceeded a brigade, and the pre-10th division is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and firepower.
Wing Commander of the 115th Wing, Setsu Yazaki Sanchusa, stood on the bank of the Shinbashi River and watched the battle on the other bank, he was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, and only used a large group of troops to completely defeat the pre-10th division on the opposite bank, but unfortunately these Chinese showed very stubbornness, it seems that they can only kill tonight!
Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa asked the guards to fetch a pair of matzas, and he was going to drink sake and sing waka on the shore and wait for the battle on the other side to end!
Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa admires the most is the demon king Oda Nobunaga of Japan's Sengoku period, so he cherishes this opportunity to learn from his idol.
As soon as he heard that the canned beef was opened and placed in front of Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa, he dug a spoonful and put it in his mouth and chewed it beautifully, and several of his captains and squadron leaders kept praising Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa's demeanor with the most beautiful words.
Everything seems so perfect!
The sound of the river, artillery fire, gunfire, and fighting made up a picture that intoxicated Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa......
Suddenly, several mortar shells landed on the river beach next to Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa, and one of the shells hit a bunch of Japanese officers who were posing for photos on the river beach, and the severed limbs and minced flesh immediately flew into the air, and Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa's body was also splashed with a lot of mud and blood.
What's going on?
Is it the 10th Pre-10th Division that sent reinforcements again?
Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa withdrew from the river beach in embarrassment under the cover of his subordinates, and Cai Zude on the other side rubbed his hands regretfully!
"The sun! I usually say that I am a hundred shots! It's so far away at a critical time! Two catties of cow! Zhang Qian! You guys are on! Open the bow left and right, Lao Tzu from the middle! Drive the little devils into the Shimbashi River! ”
The 4th Battalion of the 539th Regiment launched a strong attack on the Japanese troops on the Changtang position from three directions with Cai Zude's order!
The firepower of the 139th Division was several grades stronger than that of the Pre-10th Division, and the devils of the 115th Wing suddenly could not adapt to such ferocious firepower, and fell down in front of the 4th Battalion, and the officers and soldiers of the Pre-10th Division in the Japanese encirclement heard the dense gunfire like fried beans from behind the Japanese army, and immediately realized that their reinforcements had arrived, and they also began to concentrate their firepower to fight out. They began to squeeze the Japanese troops to the river beach, and the mortar gunners, who had been scolded by Cai Zude so much that they couldn't lift their heads, seized this opportunity to atone for their crimes, and one mortar shell after another flew into the devil's pile like eyes, and every explosion could bring a rich reward.
The devils of the 115th Wing were disrupted by the 4th Battalion, and some of the Japanese troops on the river beach wanted to advance, and some retreated, and they fell into chaos completely!
The creed of the 99th Army is to take advantage of your illness to kill you, Cai Zude ordered all companies to intersperse desperately and mix with the Japanese army, so as to give full play to the advantages of the 139th Division's automatic firearms!
The scene can only be described in one word: "Miserable!" ”
As soon as the devils raised their bayonets and aimed at the officers and men of the 4th Battalion who pounced on them, they were hit by an unreasonable strafing fire, and the officers and men of the 4th Battalion holding Mauser rifles were also shot from afar, and they were not at all soft in killing the little devils.
Seeing that the situation was developing in an extremely unfavorable direction for him, Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa ordered his subordinates to push the "92" infantry guns and mortars onto the river beach and launched an indiscriminate bombardment of the dense crowd on the opposite bank!
Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa's move succeeded in separating the officers and soldiers of China and Japan, and Cai Zude was unwilling to waste his elite soldiers in this kind of war of attrition, so he ordered each company to quickly retreat to clear the remaining Japanese troops on the position, and then rely on the fortifications and the Japanese army to waste time.
The 115th Wing on the river beach did not counterattack, the surviving devil soldiers began to dig individual pits on the river beach, and the Japanese machine gunners kept looking for suitable firing positions with crooked handles and Type 92 heavy machine guns.
Cai Zude's eyes were very sharp, he saw the Japanese ships piled up on the river beach by the light of the explosion in the battle just now, because of the sudden melee, these Japanese ships did not have time to return to the other side, this is a big flaw exposed by the Japanese!
Cai Zude asked all the mortar gunners to concentrate and fire rapidly, and by the time Yazaki Setsuzo remembered these ships, the gunners of the 4th Battalion had already rendered at least half of the Japanese rubber boats ineffective, and Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa was furious, but he didn't have any way.
All of a sudden, the 115th Wing went from smooth sailing to an extremely passive situation!
There were at least 500 Japanese troops on the opposite beach, and Yazaki Setsuzo Nakasa could not watch them be wiped out by the Chinese!
He asked his group leaders and squadron leaders if they had any good ideas.
There was silence in the answer......
When the Japanese officers of the 115th Wing were in a hurry, Cai Zude was not idle, he organized artillery and special shooters to carry out a roll call on the devils on the river beach, although such cold guns and cold guns were not strong enough, but the killing effect was very considerable.
The 4th Battalion also had an important task, which was to search for the remnants of the Japanese army in the defense area.
Because the 4th Battalion immediately began to penetrate strongly after joining the battle group, many small groups of Japanese troops were separated and stayed in the Changtang position, and even some lone devils ran to the rear of the Changtang position in the chaos.
Cai Zude asked Niu Erjin to take the 1st Company as a squad and under the guidance of the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 10th Pre-10th Division to catch these "voles" one by one.
Sometimes the grenades will be thrown out by the devils inside, which means that there are people inside, and these devil soldiers who have exposed their hiding locations have become the objects of play for the officers and soldiers of the 4th Battalion.
Someone first poured a whole bottle of kerosene into it, and then sprinkled straw with chili flour in it, and after a while, the desperate Japanese soldiers would rush out with their teeth and claws to send them to death, and the officers and soldiers of the 4th Battalion blocking the exit stabbed with bayonets, and the world soon became quiet.
In fact, the officers and men of the 4th Battalion all knew that the cooking squad leader found that all the kerosene and pepper noodles had been used up, and he was afraid that it would not be good to explain to the logistics so he jumped out and shouted.
"Lao Tzu buys authentic Hunan spicy noodles! Place your bets, bet your bets! The little devil in the bet can't hold on to one to one for a minute! One loses two for running out in more than a minute! More than two minutes of one pays five! ......”
