The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

The newly transferred head of the political training section had learned from the past, and knew that it was not a good thing for the veterans to be rebellious, so he learned to be good, and stopped making trouble for his brothers, and discussed everything with Yang Ling, the deputy head.

Yang Ling naturally knew that although they had a slight advantage in the open and covert battle with the previous political training section chief, it was because of the great pressure of the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao.

After all, the battle on the front line is raging like a raging fire, and all ministries are paying close attention to military training, so the political training has been appropriately released.

But there is a limit to everything. If you don't know what you're interested in and continue to confront the people in the political training department, I'm afraid even the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao won't be able to make a deal for the superiors.

So when the new political training section chief approached him politely to discuss, Yang Ling didn't dismiss the fat white political training section chief's face, and finally negotiated and decided to have five days of military training and two days of political training per week.

Although this result dissatisfied the head of the new political training section and felt that the time for political training was a bit short, Yang Ling also had his own reasons.

"Section Chief Zhou, it's not that I don't pay attention to political training. Most of our regiment are recruits who have been repaired. They can't even hold their guns steadily. The Military Commission will review us immediately. Who will be responsible for the ugly?"

"Let's take a step back, the front line in Xuzhou is fighting fiercely, we may be dragged up to fight desperately at any time, if you don't hurry up to train and improve your combat effectiveness, do you have the heart to watch these brothers who don't know anything go to death in vain? ?”

Yang Ling told the truth, so the new section chief, who was focused on political training, had to make temporary concessions.

"Since Vice-Chairman Yang said this, I understand deeply, but all the brothers must come to the two-day political training every week, and there must be no absence. After all, this political training is a matter assigned by the chairman. Long you also make it easier for me to deal with business."

"Okay, I promise that no one will be absent when the time comes." Yang Ling saw that the chief of the political training section respected him, and he didn't want to spoil the other party's face, so the two parties reached a private agreement, five days of military training every week, and two days of political ideology education learning.

The agreement made both parties happy. The new political training section chief was able to complete his tasks, and Yang Ling could also allow the brothers to combine work and rest and take advantage of the political training to rest.

The training of the troops is proceeding in an orderly manner. While Yang Ling is paying close attention to the training, he will read the frontline battle reports and newspapers from various newspapers every day to understand the situation of the war.

In this era of backward communication, there were limited channels to learn about the outside world, so Yang Ling could only spy on the situation through newspapers and battle reports issued by the army.

During the period of their political training, the Battle of Xuzhou was in full swing. Under the command of the commander-in-chief, General Li Zongren, the troops in the fifth theater fought on both the north and south fronts. Although the two sides fought for more than a month, more than 11 Japanese troops were wiped out, which greatly boosted the anti-Japanese morale of the soldiers and civilians across the country.

In addition to the victory in the Chihe blockade, there are also many other good news. General Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army cooperated with the 51st Army in Linhuaiguan, and there were many gains in Bengbu. Although the Japanese 13th Division was aggressive, it was difficult to survive. Enter.

The south was fighting well, but bad news continued to come from the north. Although General Li Zongren deployed the main force in the north to fight against the Japanese army going south, the 10th and 5th divisions of the Japanese army were sharp and had occupied large areas of urban areas. Not optimistic.

Among them, the Seya detachment of the Japanese army stormed Teng County in southern Shandong with all its strength, and advanced towards the Taierzhuang area with all its strength.

Taierzhuang is the gateway to Xuzhou, where the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Command is located, and Dateng County in southern Shandong is also the gateway to Taierzhuang. General Li Zongren, who is full of miscellaneous troops, entrusted the task of defending here to the Sichuan Army transferred from the Second Theater 22nd Army Group.

After tens of thousands of soldiers from the Seya Detachment of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army captured Zou County, they went straight to Fuji County without stopping. The 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army, which was deployed on the periphery, could not stop the Japanese army. Many troops died in the positions. Above, the fighting was dire.

The 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army Wang Mingzhang, who was guarding Fuji County, was not frightened by the powerful Japanese offensive. Instead, it relied on the broken city wall to resist to the death. Only then did they attack Teng County.

Facing the Japanese army that invaded Teng County, the surviving soldiers of the Sichuan Army fought bravely, and the division commander Wang Mingzhang even stepped forward to command.

In January, Liu Xiang, the head coach of the Sichuan Army, left behind the call of "If the enemy bandits don't leave the country for a day, the Sichuan Army will never return to their hometown." .

This unit of the Sichuan Army that was not needed in the second war zone came to repay General Li Zongren's kindness in taking him in, and secondly, to obey the last words of the commander of the Sichuan Army who died of illness. These hundreds of wounded Sichuan Army soldiers who were seriously injured and unable to move faced the fierce Japanese army, and at the same time they rang A hand grenade was fired, and the defense battle of Teng County ended in a tragic way.

"All the officers and soldiers of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army from the division commander Wang Mingzhang died heroically, and none of them surrendered."

When Yang Ling saw the news in the newspaper with his own eyes, he still couldn't help the tears in his eyes. These stubborn Sichuan men did not embarrass the elders in their hometown in the end. They are real heroes.

Since the Sichuan army slowed down the Japanese offensive in Teng County, General Li Zongren was able to calmly mobilize troops in Taierzhuang to deploy defenses in Taierzhuang.

The Japanese army then invaded Taierzhuang. Chi Fengcheng, the commander of the 31st Division who was in charge of guarding Taierzhuang, led more than [-] officers and soldiers to defend Taierzhuang.

The 31st Division successfully dragged the Japanese army to Taierzhuang, and Tang Enbo's army took the opportunity to outflank it from the outside, putting the Japanese army attacking Taierzhuang into a dangerous dilemma and had to break out to survive.

On the other hand, General Li Zongren commanded various armies to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army in Taierzhuang. Although the Japanese army finally managed to tear open the hole and escape, more than [-] people were killed or injured.

The news of Taierzhuang's great victory was like a spring breeze, and soon spread across the country. Since the battle of Songhu and the defense of Nanjing, this is the first major victory for the Chinese army to wipe out more than [-] enemies on the battlefield. It was swept away, and the whole country was invigorated.

Although Yang Ling and his 74th Army were training in Wuhan, when the news of the Taierzhuang victory came, the brothers were all excited and excited like never before. A grand celebration ceremony was held that night, and many brothers got drunk. This victory was too hard-won.

The great victory in Taierzhuang inspired the brothers, they trained even harder, and they were gearing up to go to the battlefield to fight hard.

After the victory in Taierzhuang, General Li Zongren quickly mobilized troops to counterattack and expand the results of the battle. He successively gathered 70 divisions, a total of [-] million troops in the Xuzhou area, and the Japanese army ran away in panic.

They were not reconciled to the defeat of the Japanese army in Taierzhuang. Instead, they used part of their forces to contain the Chinese army and secretly mobilized the 3rd, 9th, 13th, 16th, 114th, 14th, 10th, and 5th divisions. More troops marched to the Xuzhou area in an attempt to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Chinese army in Xuzhou. At this moment, the Chinese soldiers and civilians were still brimming with the joy of victory, and they didn't know it.

Text Chapter 353 Banquet

It was a chilly spring, and although the air was still filled with chill, there were more sunny days, and the troops regained their combat effectiveness after a winter training.

General Li Zongren of the fifth war zone has gathered more than 60 troops after several months of fierce fighting, and the Japanese army is also constantly dispatching troops from North China and Central China to the battlefield.

The scale of the battle between the two sides with Xuzhou as the center continued to expand. On this burning battlefield, countless lives were strangled in this deadly vortex every day.

The Chairman of the Supreme Military Council in Wuhan hoped that General Li Zongren's Fifth Theater Army would take the Taierzhuang victory as an opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack against the Japanese army, so as to recover the lost land and inspire the confidence of the whole country in the war of resistance.

However, with the passage of time, a steady stream of new Japanese troops have been thrown into the battlefield. The Chinese armies have been fighting fiercely for several months since they started fighting in January. optimism.

The Japanese base camp lost more than 1 elite soldiers in the Battle of Taierzhuang. At this moment, they were holding a breath in their hearts and wanted to launch a violent revenge.

The Japanese army was as arrogant and arrogant as ever. They dispatched countless elite divisions from North and Central China to attack the Xuzhou area, trying to encircle and wipe out the main force of the 60 Chinese army commanded by General Li Zongren in Xuzhou.

At this moment, the Japanese army has undergone a new round of army expansion, and [-]% of the troops have gathered in the North China battlefield. In order to achieve the goal of encircling and annihilating the main force of the Chinese army, three more mixed brigades were specially transferred from the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast to the battlefield.

The army led by General Li Zongren fought bloody battles with the Japanese army on the vast battlefield centered on Xuzhou, and the direct line troops of the Central Army reorganized in Wuhan also regained their combat effectiveness.

During this winter's training, the recruits of Yang Ling's 301st regiment were trained by him to be as fierce as wolves. Although they didn't have the battlefield experience like the veterans, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

During the training period, the troops got rid of the unorganized and undisciplined situation on the battlefield. Under the strict discipline requirements, every soldier in the army became orderly whether eating or washing, and various bad habits were also corrected.

The military uniforms originally worn on the battlefield sometimes had no time to change and wash for several weeks due to the tense battle, and became dirty and sour. During the training period, every soldier developed good hygiene habits, and the military uniforms Get tidy.

The anti-Japanese atmosphere in Wuhan is strong, and countless factories, enterprises and people have gathered here. The benefits of military training here are also obvious, and the condolences of patriotic people and patriotic groups have never stopped.

Every now and then, they carried bamboo baskets, shoulder poles, and all kinds of chicken, duck, and fish to reward the troops. The food for the troops was enough with steamed buns and rice, and the brothers who were originally disheveled became fatter.

More than a dozen brothers in the regiment were strong men captured from the Henan area. At the beginning, they were unwilling to serve as soldiers. After fleeing several times, they were arrested and beaten with military sticks. They were almost beaten to death by the military law department.

However, with the improvement of food and treatment, these brothers who were originally unwilling to serve as soldiers no longer ran away, but instead devoted themselves to intense military training like the rest.

During these months of training, in addition to the Xuzhou General Assembly commanded by General Li Zongren, which was in full swing, with the support of the Japanese army, Beiping and Nanjing successively established the Republic of China Restoration Government and the Provisional Government of the Republic of China.

The two puppet military governments issued a letter of advice to fight against the Japanese army and civilians, and sent spies to spread leaflets in the city of Wuhan and in the barracks at night, asking them to leave the anti-Japanese government led by Chairman Chiang and not to resist stubbornly.

In the face of these traitors who betrayed their masters and begged for glory, the military police in Wuhan showed no mercy, and shot anyone who caught them.

And those leaflet brothers who fell into the barracks didn't take it seriously, and all laughed and used it as toilet paper.

Many of the brothers came back from breaking out from Shanghai and Nanjing. Naturally, they hated the Japanese army deeply. After training, their weapons and equipment looked brand new, and their morale was also high. Be a traitor.

At the beginning of April, Yang Ling's 74th Army left the outlying station in Wuhan and went to Huangpi to accept the review by the chiefs of the Supreme Military Council.

The 74th Army is a direct line of the Central Army. After this winter's training, it has become mighty and majestic. During the review and competition process, all brigades and regiments tried their best to show themselves.

Yang Ling's 301st Regiment performed exceptionally well. Whether it was shooting, bombing, or battalion-company coordination, they were superb and proficient, and received unanimous praise from the Supreme Military Council.
