Li Yunlong was shocked by hosting the independent group at the beginning

The short history of the temporary first brigade and temporary second brigade ended here, and all soldiers and officers were added to other front-line troops. Due to the death of brigade commander Mao Yunfeng of the 33th brigade of the 68rd division, deputy brigade commander Zhang Shao was injured.

Therefore, He Huaxia, the brigade commander of the second brigade, and Liu Yunsheng, the deputy brigade commander, were appointed as the acting brigade commander and deputy brigade commander of the 33th Brigade of the 68rd Division.

The first brigade was revoked, and Zhuang Hailong's reconnaissance battalion had all died in the Miaodi Mountain position.

Therefore, Li Feng appointed Zhuang Hailong as the head of the Cui Zhiyuan regiment of the 35th Division, acting as the commander of Cui Zhiyuan who died, commanding the troops to fight, waiting for the reconnaissance battalion to be rebuilt and re-commanding the reconnaissance battalion. Chen Pengju temporarily served as the new eighth brigade.

The situation of the heavy artillery regiment of the division is not optimistic. Although there are still as many as 31 artillery pieces, the shells are basically all fired.

A cannon that has been depleted of shells is not as good as a fire stick. Artillery is a technical arm, the elite of the elite, so Li Feng will never put artillery into ground combat until the last moment.

The stray bullets flying around hit a few Huaxia soldiers who were fighting bravely just now. They died before the medical soldiers arrived, and their old squad leader did not shed tears.

He silently tied the grenades to his body, looked back at his companion who had closed his eyes, and murmured: "Dog, grandpa can't go home to see you. A peaceful China, brothers, here I come."

He stood up suddenly when the enemy tank passed by, pulled the grenade, and shouted at the enemy tank in a cloud of white smoke: "I will still beat the little devil 20 years later."

A loud noise covered the screams of enemy soldiers, and the enemy tanks were blown to pieces.

Both legs of a Huaxia soldier were blown off. The soldier resolutely tore off the skin and flesh, grabbed a rifle and struggled to climb to the window.

With great pains, he aimed his gun at the slow-advancing enemy line under the street, resisting the pain of a broken leg, and fired steadily one shot at a time.

Killed one enemy lieutenant, two sergeants, and two soldiers before the blood ran out, and waited for the enemy soldiers to climb into the floor where he was. This Chinese soldier had already died heroically for his motherland. blood.

Major Battalion Commander Zhou Bingchen was surrounded by enemy troops. He and three guards kept shooting from the house, killing and wounding more than a dozen enemy soldiers, and the enemy troops were unable to enter the house.

They had no choice but to set fire to the house. In the raging fire, Zhou Bingchen shouted: "Long live the Chinese nation."

Keep shooting until the house collapses.

Sergeant Squad Leader Cheng Jizhen's stomach was punctured by the enemy, and a large portion of his intestines flowed out. Cheng Jizhen endured the pain and stuffed his intestines into his stomach.

He smashed the heads of two enemy bandits in a row, and after being surrounded by several devil soldiers, he fired a grenade and died with the enemy.

It was under the tenacious resistance of these brave and meaningless Chinese soldiers that the enemy's street fighting did not improve at all. For four or five days in a row, they competed with the officers and soldiers of the 35th Division for control in the ruins in the east of the city.

The enemy's [-]st Tank Division tried many times to use tanks to support infantry operations, but the terrain was really unfavorable to the armored units. The wreckage of six enemy Type [-] medium tanks told the enemy commander not to waste the strength of the troops here.

After days of fierce fighting, the enemy's offensive in the Shangqiu area has been completely stopped. Except for the enemy's intrusion into the city in the east of the city, the other enemy troops have stopped at the outer front of Shangqiu.

After withstood the enemy's new round of fierce attack, Li Feng considered launching a counter-offensive to improve the combat situation in the Shangqiu theater for future operations.

Thanks to the reinforcement of the troops brought by Li Feng, the mobile force in the city has increased to about 3000 people. If these people want to make a big difference, they can only make a sudden attack on the enemy's weak points, and strive to form an advantage over the enemy locally. .

Feng Yuankai walked into Li Feng's room with a gloomy expression.

Li Feng asked strangely: "What happened?"

Feng Yuankai handed a telegram to Li Feng and said: "Wuhan sent a telegram asking us to arrest Huang Wenshi and disband the New Eighth Brigade."

"What?" Li Feng was so angry that his brain exploded when he heard this, "The order from that bastard?"

"Military Minister General He Yingqin."

"Don't they know that the New Eighth Brigade has gone anyway, and the blood they shed is enough to wash away their shame."

"Obviously, the Wuhan side thinks that there is not enough blood, but from the Wuhan side's point of view, it is already a great deal of face for you to arrest only one Huang Wenshi and not deal with other officers."

"What I want is not face, what I want is a soldier who can face death without fear, what I want is a real warrior, you call back the Military and Political Department, explain our request, cancel the arrest order for Huang Wenshi, and keep the new Eight brigades."

"Why, you are disobedient."

"I am very clear, and I am also very clear that at this time, they need me to help them block the enemy's blade."

"They don't dare to do anything to you now, but once the crisis is lifted, things will be hard to say."

"The chairman and the others dare to kill him. He is nothing in their eyes, but that is after the enemy bandits are eliminated, and it is still under the condition that they cannot be wiped out by the enemy bandits."

"Since the superior has made a decision, I just obey. Politics is like this. Huang Wenshi is useful to us. If the New Eighth Brigade can be preserved.

Huang Wenshi must repay the commander-in-chief with death, and the New Eighth Brigade has become a private soldier under the superior. It can be said that the superior and the New Eighth Brigade are closely related. "

"Xia Guo is now facing life and death. This kind of thing is not something I consider, but I only know that it is enough for the New Eighth Brigade to help me kill the enemy bandits."

Chapter 263 Preliminary Loss

"Absorbing all the generals who are loyal to their superiors will be very beneficial to the future. If your superiors can continue to buy people's hearts, I believe that in the near future, the Houyi Division will become more than just a division-level combat unit.

At that time, the strength of the superior's speech will be different from that of now, and the perspective of seeing the problem will be different. Your future and my future will depend on every choice made by the superior. "

"I can't understand what you're saying. Is everything I'm doing now trying to buy people's hearts? I'm just gathering together those who are upright and dedicated to serving the Xia Kingdom."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, what you did was indeed out of public interest, but more and more of these people gather under the command of the superior, and the power of the superior becomes stronger, correspondingly, Xia Guo's vigilance against the superior is getting deeper and deeper. , you should understand what I mean."

"I understand what you mean, but I have a heart for Xia Guo, Xia Guo will definitely not let me down, and currently the chairman's son Jingguo and Weiguo are acting as chairman, I am very close to them I believe that as long as they have my help, they will definitely gather the anti-Japanese forces from all over the country to defeat Wang Jingwei and the enemy bandits."

"People will always change, let me tell you, maybe the current Jingguo and Weiguo are your good comrades, you are like-minded, but you will change, and they will change, so don't hope that people will never change forever, although I I don't want to see this scene, but I want to say that the possibility of this scene happening is not impossible."

"Forget it, don't say any more, you are drunk, I will forget what you said."

"I didn't drink alcohol. Besides, even if I was drunk, my words were not drunk. You don't have to take my words to heart now, and I don't hope that one day it will come true. The commander-in-chief should forget my words."

"It's just that at any time, no matter what happens, please remember that I will support you and stand by your side."

"I am very grateful for your support. Without the support and help of you brothers, our Master Houyi would not have been able to get to where we are today. In the first Shangqiu War, we stole the limelight. In the autumn counterattack, we retreated unscathed."

Which time did not you charge forward, which time did not you make a decision in the face of danger, today, I still need your full support to repel the enemy's attack.

However, what Li Feng and the others discussed just now were all at the political level. Now that the Battle of Shangqiu has entered a critical moment, tactically they need a surprise victory to overcome the current predicament.

"Politics is a very delicate thing. At present, the hearts of the army and the people in Shangqiu are all greatly boosted by your safe return. Tactically, the more than 8000 soldiers you brought back supplemented the loss of the troops in the early stage and strengthened our strength."

Therefore, they have the power to launch a small-scale counterattack against the enemy. As for how to command troops to fight, this is his strong point.

His specialty is politics rather than military command. In terms of military command, Cao Yunjian, Zhou Zhengyi, Cao Lei, Liu Yongbo and others under his command all have independent combat capabilities.

Teng Chao, Zhuang Hailong, Song Xiaopeng, Chen Mingtian, Zhao Mingyi, Zhu Dalong and others are fierce generals who can be defeated by thousands of people. I believe that the brains of your superiors and the abilities of these excellent generals are enough to reverse the current predicament.

Now their Huaxia army has been oppressed and fought by the enemy for a long time since Wang Jingwei led the army to rebel. There should be a big victory to inspire the soldiers of the whole country to continue to fight bravely and save China from the enslavement of the enemy.

"Okay, send the telegram to Wuhan and those idiots immediately. They still need me to stop the enemy from going south and threaten their status and wealth. They can still listen to my suggestion."

"Okay, follow orders, Commander-in-Chief, take a good rest, today seems to be over like this, it's really a difficult day."

Indeed, today is a very difficult day for both the enemy bandits and the Chinese people. Both sides have lost more than 1000 outstanding soldiers.

No matter who it is, the loss of junior officers and soldiers and middle and lower rank non-commissioned officers with great combat experience is unacceptable to the commander.
