Chapter 969 (Song of the Clothesless)
The 19th Infantry Regiment of the Wehrmacht did not return to the city, and Peng Weiguo stationed his troops on the positions of the former 30th Division of the Soviet Army, taking the opportunity to harass the Soviet army. Peng Weiguo sent someone to Du Baosan to build a letter that was: "Judging from the current battle situation, the encirclement plan of the General Headquarters can no longer be carried out as scheduled, and our unit (19th Regiment) is stationed here to prevent the fortress from being completely besieged by the Soviet army to death." Our department will be the last man in the battle, reserve a way for the army to survive, and make plans for the army to break off. ”
Du Baosan sighed, why didn't he want to have a way out, but today was supposed to be the day of the encirclement, but where did the two encirclement troops go? The Soviets attacked the 19th Regiment several times, and with the support of Wehrmacht artillery, the 19th Regiment stubbornly resisted the Soviet attack.
Something was wrong with the weather this morning, and after repelling the Soviet attack, the wind blew again. Both the Chinese and Soviet armies thought that a sandstorm would be hung at one time, and they prepared a qiē to prevent the sandstorm from affecting their own troops. But I never thought that it would suddenly rain heavily at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone was stunned, clear sky and heavy rain? It's raining heavily on a clear sky? The squadron was extremely excited, and Du Baosan immediately ordered the soldiers to use a basin to catch water, boil it and keep it as a water source, while the Soviet army was disappointed, and Blyukhel was so angry that he pointed to the sky and scolded.
A heavy rain not only relieved the urgent need for the squadron to be cut off from water, but also slowed down the offensive of the Soviet Russian army. The rain continued for several hours until midnight, and no one could tell how the rain came about, let alone how it stopped.
Locals in Central Asia say that the Kizil fortress receives a total of several rains a year. It has never rained in the daytime, and it usually rains at night when I go to bed, so today is a surprise. Du Baosan insisted that God was blessing him. And with the whole army kowtow to the sky. The soldiers didn't believe it at first, but this strange heavy rain was really strange, and they couldn't help but believe it.
The wonder of nature lies in its unpredictability, and today God is on the side of the Chinese. However, the heavy rain brought some difficulties to the 19th Regiment of the Wehrmacht, and they had to take advantage of the heavy rain to build a defensive line to prevent the Soviets from retaking their positions. This pouring rain fell overnight, which is indeed rare in the Central Asia-Pacific region. Even the local people knelt on the ground and prayed to heaven. The defense of the 19th Regiment was even more difficult, and they had to stand knee-deep in the trenches to constantly guard against Soviet sneak attacks.
The weather cleared up early in the morning of May 23, what Peng Weiguo didn't expect was. It only took two hours for the knee-deep water in the trenches to completely penetrate into the ground, and Peng Weiguo laughed and said that he didn't expect Central Asia to have this benefit.
Annoyed by the Chinese tearing a hole in the encirclement, Blyukhel immediately ordered three divisions to be sent to eliminate the 19th Regiment of the Chinese Defense Forces. Plug the opening of the enclosure. He roared and shouted to his officers that he must trap all the Chinese in the city. The Chinese must not be spared. The war has reached this point, neither side can afford to lose, and it will be a crushing victory. For the Wehrmacht, a crushing victory was a great victory, and for the Soviet army, a crushing victory was a defeat, and the Soviet army had suffered nearly 100,000 casualties in seven days from the 15th. For Blyukher, if the casualties exceed 100,000, the Kizil fortress will not be able to be taken. He will not be able to give an account to the Kremlin.
The fierce attack of the Soviet army caused a surge in casualties among the 19th Regiment of the Wehrmacht, which had just built a position, and Peng Weiguo, who had not been begging for help, had to ask for support from the fortress. Du Baosan immediately sent the 334th Regiment to support the 19th Regiment. However, due to the more ferocious attack of the Soviet army, the 19th Regiment of Peng Weiguo's headquarters had to lead the army to withdraw to the city under the cover of the 334th Regiment.
The Soviets threw nearly 3,000 corpses on this position in the morning, and they angrily tied up the 156 Chinese prisoners of war of the 19th Regiment who had not had time to withdraw from the position and prepared to be buried alive en masse.
The captured and wounded soldiers of the 19th Regiment of the National Defense Army knew that they would die, but they did not resist, they squatted in the pit and sang loudly the song "Song of No Clothes" made by Qin Liang, a Shanghai musician, for the soldiers of the Western Regions Military Region when they were in the Western Regions.
The lyrics of this "Song of No Clothes" are taken from the "Book of Songs. Qin Feng", in fact, this song is the battle song of the Great Qin Empire against Xirong. Qin Liang's father was suspected of fraud, and when he was building a project for the country, he used false materials to carry out shoddy works, and was caught by the Wehrmacht and killed. Qin Liang's family's property was confiscated overnight, and the Qin family's entire family was sent to the Western Regions, changing from a young master in Shanghai to a member of the Han people in the Western Regions. In order to survive, Qin Liang joined the reserve garrison, and he, a top student of St. John's College in Shanghai, became the most ordinary soldier. On the one hand, he had to carry out military training, and on the other hand, he also had to do the work of herding cattle and horses. QIN Feng. "No Clothes" rearranged the lyrics and created "No Clothes Song".
If Qin Liang was no longer in the vast land of the Western Regions, if he hadn't exercised in the army, he wouldn't have created the magnificent and passionate "Song of No Clothes".
And when "Song Without Clothes" was sung, it even moved the surrounding Soviet soldiers, who even stopped burying soil in the pit and listening to the sad songs of the Chinese.
"Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are with the Son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and share the same enmity with the son. How can it be said that there is no clothes, and he is the same as the son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with the son. Do you say that you have no clothes, and are clothed with your son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with his son. ”
The simple lyrics and tragic melody floated in the sky of the Western Regions, and the Soviet commander saw that the soldiers were unable to bear to be buried alive, so he immediately fired a shot and ordered it to be executed immediately. In the sound of "Song of No Clothes", 156 wounded soldiers of the 19th Regiment of the Wehrmacht were buried alive and executed.
Du Baosan's eyes were red with anger, and he ordered the 39th Division to attack the position again at any cost, and he must save his wounded soldiers. The purpose of the Soviet army was to stimulate the squadron, they had already prepared a qiē, and put four divisions of troops to block the attack, and from one o'clock in the afternoon until half past four, the squadron had to be repulsed again.
The desperate Du Bao Santong ordered a poison gas attack on the Soviet army at night with red eyes, and the chief of staff, Tong Lin, immediately prepared and ordered the whole army to prepare.
From 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock on the night of May 23, the Yellow Dragon Regiment of the Squadron ** adopted a counterattack posture against the Soviet army in order to cooperate with the poison gas attack at night, forcing the Soviet army to concentrate its forces on defense. At about three o'clock in the morning of the 24th, the artillery on the Wehrmacht position began to suddenly fire poison gas bombs at the Soviet troops, which did not explode.
Many Soviet soldiers died in a deep sleep, and because the night also led the panicked Soviet soldiers to run to the Chinese positions, Du Baosan ordered all captured Soviet soldiers to be tied up.
On the morning of May 24, the effect of the poison gas bomb disappeared, and the wave of biological and chemical attacks by the Soviet army counted the casualties of the Chinese, resulting in nearly 10,000 casualties. What made the Soviet soldiers even more angry was that the Chinese captured 122 Soviet soldiers, and together with the wounded Soviet soldiers captured a few days ago, a total of 327 prisoners were escorted to the main position (the western position of the Kyzyl fortress).
Fu Gang, the commander of the 253rd Regiment of the 84th Brigade of the 29th Division, made a big iron sheet and shouted to the Soviet troops opposite: "** Lao Maozi, you caught more than 100 of our wounded brothers yesterday afternoon and buried them alive, I cāo your grandmother, I cāo your grandmother!" Today, grandpa sues you, you killed one of our Chinese prisoners of war, and I will fucking kill ten of you! Yesterday you buried 200 brothers alive, and if you wait, we will surely capture 2,000 of you and take revenge! Come on, set them all on fire for me! ”
The 327 Soviet prisoners of war were still tightly tied up in a large pit, poured gasoline, and Fu Gang shouted: "Brothers, sing me the 'Song of No Clothes' to see off the brothers who were killed yesterday afternoon!" Then a fire was thrown into the pit, and the Soviet prisoners of war immediately screamed at the fire.
"Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are with the Son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and share the same enmity with the son. How can it be said that there is no clothes, and he is the same as the son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with the son. Do you say that you have no clothes, and are clothed with your son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with his son. ”
More than 600 remnants of the 19th Regiment stood on the Kyzylorda city wall and sang loudly, and all the Chinese soldiers began to sing in an instant.
Amid the screams of Soviet prisoners of war being burned to death, the Chinese's fighting spirit has become stronger, and the most primitive militant genes in the blood are recovering.
Blyukhel also ordered his soldiers to attack the Chinese positions with red eyes, and he vowed to slaughter all Chinese prisoners of war, and the Chinese and Soviet sides had gone on to kill each other after this act of massacring prisoners of war. The fierce battle began, the Soviet soldiers were not afraid of death, and even the Soviet artillery was pushed to a kilometer away from the position, and both sides almost loaded the artillery with bayonets. Du Baosan also wore a steel helmet on his head and carried a submachine gun, ready to rush to the front line with the guard battalion at any time.
The sound of the bombardment continued to resound, and the Chinese defense forces did not lack shells, but the Soviet troops began to show the shortcomings of insufficient ammunition reserves in the continuous shelling.
At present, almost every surviving Chinese infantry has fired more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition, and there are no soldiers in the whole regiment who have not yet participated in the battle, and even telegraph operators have to go to the battlefield in special times.
The frontal battlefield was the focus of the Soviet offensive, and it was precisely because the Soviet prisoners of war were slaughtered on the frontal battlefield that the Soviet army was particularly vindictive about this, and they almost rushed up with the blood of their comrades. Defense Commander Sun Liechen replenished his guard battalion to the headquarters of the 84th Brigade for frontal defense, and the remaining 600 soldiers of the 19th Regiment immediately came to support.
The Chinese infantry artillery, mortars, howitzers, field artillery, mountain artillery, and howitzers blocked the Soviet attack like cultivated land. During the battle, Zhuo Yingquan, deputy commander of the 84th Brigade, was killed by a Soviet bullet in the chest, and Yan Yongqing, the military chief of the 29th Division, was killed by shelling in order to cover the wounded soldiers when he was helping the wounded soldiers.
