chaotic world

The war continues, and the battle intensifies. Wherever the artillery fire goes, either you die or I live.

Both sides are real knives and guns, hot-blooded men, when they go to the battlefield, they are not afraid of anything.

The fighting in Shandong was fierce, and the resistance of the Korean Ministry was tenacious. It took the Japanese army a lot of time to conquer the Dezhou defense line. What greeted them was a mountainous area with more complicated and steep terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was a place where planes and tanks could not go up. The infantry pushed in, and every step was difficult.

At the same time, the military finally adopted Jinxin's advice and increased the strength of troops in Hebei.

Master Zhou and other troops pushed to the front line, and the sky was full of artillery fire. He hadn't closed his eyes for a day and a night. The old horse's injury just healed, and he was sent to the front line again. The shouting sound was conveyed.

Master Zhou's equipment is good, especially some Japanese-style equipment. He sold a large amount of ammunition in his old nest in Baoding, and now he has shaken it all out.

The supply in Nanjing was very limited, and the beggar team of the 29th Army was self-sufficient and overwhelmed. The soldiers in the formation were charged upwards with big knives, let alone robbing them.

It's just that this battle was really hard to fight. The Japanese army came in large numbers. Huabeiping originally had no steep terrain, and the tanks were pushing it like a bamboo. In addition, the Second Devils Army and the Puppet Army Army brought by the Kwantung Army made things worse.

He has been a "two devils" outside the customs, and he knows the abominableness of working together, and he also knows how terrible it is for the Chinese to deal with the Chinese, the terrible feeling of knowing yourself and your enemy.

Baoding was full of smoke, and the battle was extremely arduous. There was no rest for several days and nights. The soldiers of the Zhou division rushed up one after another.

It was all family property saved by hard work, and the young men came down in smoke and smoke, those with missing arms and legs, those who were blind, and all of them lost their human appearance.

Master Zhou had six regiments under his jurisdiction, and only three remained after reorganization. Half of his country was wiped out by the Japanese.

He ordered the soldiers to eat the best food, and the supply of guns and ammunition was sufficient. If the supply at the back line could not keep up, he took people to Wuhan to buy them himself, and then shipped them back by himself.

He is really fighting with his real money. Every bullet and every soldier is consuming his savings. On this battlefield, every minute is consuming his personal wealth.

A person who loves money so much, he is burning money now, burning money helplessly.

Don't retreat, don't retreat a step, where the Japanese came from, then go back from where.

This is my home, my land, my soldiers, it's all mine.

The teacher's seat was crazy, and the regiment commander, battalion commander, company commander and soldiers below were also infected. Master Zhou's reputation was not good, but he showed his true demeanor on the battlefield.

When the regimental commander died in battle, the deputy regimental commander went up, and when the regimental deputy died, the battalion commander stepped up, and the number of people fighting became fewer and fewer, but Zhou Shi fought more and more vigorously.

The Japanese side also went crazy, clamoring for the fall of China in March, and it has been a month in the blink of an eye, but it can only go out of Pingjin, Shandong, Shandong, and Hebei. It is simply unreasonable.

So when Xin Yaqing put forward the "scorched earth policy" today, there was a rare unanimity in the noisy military headquarters, let's burn it, kill it, rob it, let the Chinese people tremble.

Only by frightening the courage of the Chinese people can they be subdued.Villages, fields, smoke and fire, men and women, dead bodies everywhere, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, where the Japanese army passed by, people were devastated.

The war in the North China battlefield is anxious, and the hearts of the whole of China are hanging there.

Master Zhou has become a high-profile presence in the 29th Army. After the old horse was injured in his arm, he was injured in the head by the artillery shells. Standing up, no one gave in.

Today, Zhou Lan goes into battle. Like ordinary soldiers, he puts on his combat uniform, wears a helmet, and runs in the trenches. When the shells are blown up, he raises his head from the mound and directs the people to charge up as usual.

He Si did not persuade him, a son whose mother died in the hands of the Japanese, who can make him put down the gun in his hand?

He can only go to the battlefield with him, jump on him when the shells explode, and cover him when the bullets fly.

Wherever he goes, he will go there. If you want to live together, you will live together, and if you want to die together, you will die together.

The war reporters sent by Nanjing captured the most tragic scene, the most tenacious scene, and the most determined scene of the Chinese soldiers.

The photos were sent back to Nanjing, and the scenes were displayed in front of the Chinese people. They were tenacious Chinese soldiers, Chinese soldiers who would rather die than surrender.

There was even a special Zhou division report titled "Fighting the enemy bandits bravely for three days and nights, showing the tenacity of our army", which reported the actual situation of Baoding's defense battle. The most eye-catching one in the photo is Zhou Lan holding the rank of major general Standing □□, the silhouette of the commander raising his arms.

In the photo, he only has half of his side face, smoky, bloody and muddy, but his collar badge and military rank are very clear. His agitated state is fully exposed from the posture of his body and the faint veins at his temples, while his soldiers have already Running out of the trench, the arrow on the bow charged towards where he was pointing.

Regardless of whether they are officers or soldiers, they do their best and die on the battlefield.

The tide of the national war of resistance was high, and the people of the country reached an unprecedented unity of opinion in the fight against Japan. Students were running in the streets, waving the flag and shouting for the fight against Japan, and businessmen were raising donations for the fight against Japan.

The crowd was outraged, and the [-] trillion Chinese people were all part of the Anti-Japanese War.

Also excited is Yaqing Jinxin, his son is indeed here, in Baoding.

Go all out to attack Baoding!

At the same time, the war broke out in Shanghai. The Japanese army bombed Shanghai, the most important international metropolis in the East. Under the bombs of the Japanese army, it blossomed everywhere, shocking the whole world.

Lu Baiyu, who lives in the Huamao Hotel, just had breakfast in the tea restaurant on the first floor, and just got up and lay on the ground. A shell exploded on the bustling Huayuan Road. The whole thing was lifted off, and the glass windows on the street were shattered.

The crowd scattered and fled in all directions, Lu Baiyu got up from under the overturned table, and ran away after being stunned for a moment.

The Battle of Songhu has begun!

The Japanese fleet at sea opened fire, bombarding Shanghai, and planes roared overhead, throwing guns all the way.

It's a pity that there is no decent navy. The commander-in-chief of the navy, army and air force urgently ordered Commander Chen of the navy to mobilize all naval forces to intercept the Japanese navy's attack along the river.

Poor Commander Chen, his navy is still the same as that of the Qing Beiyang Navy 30 years ago. The Japanese came before the new navy had grown up.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, another ten years, and another ten years for the country to prepare for war, it would not be so embarrassing.

All the naval power that can be mobilized has entered the Yangtze River, and even large merchant ships and fishing boats have been forcibly requisitioned. When the country is in crisis, all the power and means that can be used are nothing to worry about.

Shandong is urgent!Hebei is in a hurry!Shanghai is in a hurry!

China's military strength is simply not enough to support this kind of attack from all directions. After careful discussion, the high-level military committee finally reached a consensus-in view of the factual national strength, in order to achieve the final peace and final victory, we still need to adopt strategies and tactics that are beneficial to our side. ——Exchanging space for time.

Only when the anti-Japanese front is stretched, and stretched again, can the enemy's forces be dispersed, and then dispersed, can the country's weak forces be rectified, a long struggle, and final victory be achieved.

With the adjustment of the strategy, the battlefield must be readjusted. North China and Shandong are no longer a must-have. The enemy there adopts a scorched-earth policy.

Since you can't stop the enemy from coming, don't leave anything behind.

At the same time, the 29th Army received the order to withdraw troops, and evacuated the North China battlefield in batches and step by step, and deployed defenses along the Yangtze River via Xubang, Shanghai along the river, Jiangyin, Nanjing, and all the way to Wuhan and Chongqing.

Earlier, the national government had moved to Chongqing. The ancients said that the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky.In Bashanshushui, only the air force can barely reach it, and it is difficult to attack by water and land.

As long as the heart of a body does not die, there is a chance of resurrection.

In view of Shandong's terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the national government sent Li Delin, the commander of the fifth theater, to do Han Xiangfang's work and ordered him to fight to the end. , Attack is impossible to attack, and now the battle of Songhu has just started, and all the superior forces will be concentrated in Shanghai and Hangzhou Bay, so the Han Department must fight alone, involving Japanese troops for the battle of Songhu.

Li Delin was moved with emotion and reason, but Han Xiangfang didn't listen to this. When he heard that the superior forces of the Central Army would be withdrawn from Shandong, he quit at that time. He threw his military cap on the table and yelled at Commissar Jiang. Isn't the length too much? Isn't the direct line team just so pitiful?Who is not anti-Japanese, why should I fight alone, and you hold together to keep warm.

Li Delin said everything he should say, and made all the promises he should make. Unfortunately, the surname Han didn't accept this at all. He threatened that the Central Army would either stay and fight with him, or else they wouldn't even think about going out of Shandong.

"Han, do you want to disobey orders? Do you want to detain Du Lu? Can you detain him?" Li Delin yelled, disregarding his personal safety.

"You withdraw Du Brigade," Han Xiangfang said, "don't blame me for being rude, let's wait and see!"

Deputy Commander Li went to Shandong in person, had a bad nose, and was completely unable to communicate.So he directly passed the chairman's letter to Du Lu, ordering him to take the Xubang line and enter Nanjing Pukou to prepare for the war.

Du Yunfeng took the order immediately, not because Shandong had a hard time resisting the war, but because he was a soldier, the chairman of the committee, and also his principal. And obey unconditionally.

But he was secretly happy, and immediately sent a secret telegram to Zhou Lan—generally stating his route, and expected to meet Master Zhou near Jiaozuo.

When Zhou Lan received the telegram, he was about to withdraw from the border of Hebei. The secret telegram came at the right time. Pressure, I'm afraid I will suffer a big loss.

It's all right now, Du Yunfeng led his men to follow up, although the battle ahead must be a vicious battle, but the two teams march forward together and can always take care of each other.

When the country is in crisis, family hatred is difficult to repay. At this time, the love between children must be put aside.

He folded the code and put it in his coat pocket as a safe letter from home.

Du Lu packed up and retreated. Before leaving, Du Yunfeng went to Hanbu to ask for his resignation. Han Xiangfang was completely different from when he met before. Not only was there no enthusiasm, but there was more resentment in his eyes.

Du Yunfeng understood his feelings, but the military order was like a mountain, and he had to obey it.The party and the state gave him a career, and he will definitely repay him at critical moments. He has always been a grateful person, and life and death are at stake, and he is no exception.

Going to Songhu, what awaits the Du brigade is an even bigger battle. The main force of the Japanese army will go up the river, and it is bound to attack Shanghai and Hangzhou with all its strength. Shandong still has terrain to defend, and the Jiangnan is a plain, which is a nightmare for the Chinese army, which is at a disadvantage. .

If the Yangtze River is lost, the Japanese army can go straight up the river and push it horizontally to Wuhan. At that time, the north and the south will attack, and China will be hopeless.

How can there be eggs in a full nest? China does not have them, and Shandong cannot survive alone.

He still remembered that when he first entered Whampoa, Principal Jiang personally attended the freshman ceremony. He said that although the Northern Expedition was completed, the great cause of China's reunification was not yet completed.

The implication of this sentence is that everyone understands that the Northern Expedition was only a formal unity. In fact, the divisions of the various military leaders have not changed at all. There are Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in the south, Yan Xishan and Ma Bufang in the west, and the surname Han in the east.

For these military leaders, the country can do it for them, but they can't do it for the country.

In the face of national crisis, he is still only willing to protect his own one-third of an acre of land, and wants to be the king of his own small country, no matter what happens to the big China.

"China will definitely win!" Du Yunfeng recalled that when he was in Beijing, he went to watch Lu Baiyu play a play in his spare time. At the end of the play, the students shouted loudly, and everyone on and off the stage drank together.

Infected by this youthful emotion, he applauded and applauded, but his heart was actually very turbulent. How could these stupid students understand the thoughts of the local emperors like military leaders everywhere?He has the supreme patriotic blood, but he doesn't understand the most selfish and self-loving thoughts in people.

However, it is these people who shouted that the nation should not perish, gathered sand into a tower, and made this land full of wars, but refused to surrender.

Du Yunfeng didn't ask about the associations that his younger brother Yunhai joined. He didn't have the heart to ask before, but now he doesn't dare to ask.

With gunfire raging all over the sky and wars raging everywhere, he put aside all his personal grievances, the country is the largest, and the nation is the largest.

He is no longer the little bandit leader who only looked at the top of the mountain. With experience in the world, he does not only have the little love in front of him. Straighten your spine and lead your soldiers to the greatest victory.

And he can also feel that Zhou Lan is also changing, he is no longer the young master who loves him the most in his heart, Zhou Lan loves him, although Zhou Lan does not admit it, but he firmly believes it.

Zhou Lan loves not only him, but also Yunhai, his son, and all his family members.

Because he loves them so much, Zhou Lan loves Qian and Bing. He uses his wealth and power to protect everyone he cherishes.

Back then, they had been in the puppet army together, thinking that as long as they were powerful and powerful, they could live a safe and comfortable life even if they lived under the fence of others, without any worries for the rest of their lives.

too childish.

Either be independent or at the mercy of others, there is no middle state.

The dumb uncle was injured, the godmother died, and the house in Tianjin was bombed to the ground—when the land was lost, how could there be an inch of land to call home?When the enemy puts away his smiling face and raises his butcher knife, the lives of relatives are as fragile as flowers.

Therefore, national hatred is greater than family hatred, and if you want to avenge family hatred, you must first avenge national hatred.

He knew this in his heart, and so did Zhou Lan.

The farewell to Han Xiangfang broke up unhappy. He understands Han's pressure, and Shandong's family fortune may be drained.

Han also understood that Du Yunfeng did not go here to hide from the quiet. The Battle of Songhu was already in a state of "meat grinder". Let the military factories and heavy industries in the mainland have time to relocate to the hinterland of China, so that China has the capital to fight back. In order to achieve this goal, all the lives sent to the battlefield are heroic fighters, and those who rush to the forefront are destined to become Tragic cannon fodder.

"If you go, you will die. Why don't you join hands with me here to fight for a way out? The Japanese are in a hurry to go south, and they can't get in from Yimeng Mountain. We can negotiate peace with them and negotiate a good deal." Han Xiangfang persuaded Du Yunfeng, what he said It's actually very doable.

It's just that he didn't expect Du Yunfeng to reject him without any hesitation.

"I would rather die than give my life to the Japanese."

The way is different, not conspiring with each other, the two broke up unhappy.

Du Brigade left Shandong and headed towards Xu Bang.

The main force of his brigade is the artillery regiment, plus two infantry regiments, and some logistics supply companies. The scale is not large, but the movement is not easy, and the transportation of the artillery and luggage is inconvenient. Ping Yuan was on the right track, but a piece of news caught Du Yunfeng off guard.

Han Xiangfang surrendered!

Du Yunfeng couldn't believe it, it was so fast.

As soon as Du Brigade left, Han Bu surrendered to the Japanese without firing a single shot.

This is how discouraged and how much I hate Nanjing's decision.

So fast, it's revenge!

However, he had no time to be surprised, and ordered the troops to retreat at full speed. There was a huge gap between the enemy and ourselves, and they would die if they were overtaken.

Day and night, he dared not close his eyes, and quickly retreated.

Seeing that he was about to leave Shandong, he was still stepped on by the Japanese in his haste.

The artillery unit is in the rear. Firstly, the artillery unit is slow, and it is not suitable to slow down the speed of the large unit. Secondly, there will be chasing troops, so it can also deal with the worst situation.

The worst case really happened. The Japanese army chased them all night and finally captured Du Brigade near Heze at the junction of Shandong and Henan.

But this time, the Japanese army came fiercely, even more ferocious than when they attacked Tengzhou. The small Chinese brigades made the Japanese army mobilize a whole division.

Du Yunfeng went crazy.

The temporarily dug trenches are not deep, which will block stray bullets, and one has to be fully waisted to avoid being hit by raindrops of bullets.

The heavy artillery shells are exhausted and are no longer useful.

He led the soldiers to pull out the anti-tank guns and attack the Japanese tanks from the flanks. The Japanese tanks had thick armor, flexible turrets, and large torsion angles, so they could only fire flexibly.

"Go back, all fucking go back!" With the sound of a cannon, he and a group of soldiers jumped back to the trench.

Sure enough, the ensuing twin-linked machine gun bullets shot over like a fan, and the earth and rocks on the trench were blown up, making people unable to lift their heads at all.

The tactical training of the Japanese devils is really in place. This kind of infantry and tank joint operations cooperate seamlessly, and it is almost fatal.

And the shells they fired at the risk of their lives, he could only watch helplessly as they were bounced off by the tank's curved armor, leaving only a deep crater.

"Damn it!" He spat, waited for a round of bullets to pass, and led the artillery to change positions and sneak attack the enemy, "Damn it, I feel like the Japanese devils are attacking me like crazy this time. "

Round after round, not to mention the recuperation of the battle, Du Brigade didn't even have time to catch his breath. The Japanese stormed and asked the translator to call out, asking Du Brigade to surrender, and even planned the soldiers' rebellion, saying that as long as Du Yunfeng was captured alive and surrendered, not only would there be no way out. , and a large bounty.

The surname Han sold Du Lu's situation.

The two armies confronted each other, knowing themselves and the enemy, and winning every battle, so the troops all used numbers, fearing that they would be found out.

The Japanese pursued and fought so recklessly, it seemed that Han Xiangfang not only surrendered, but also gave Du Lu's situation a favor.The Japanese devils came all over the sky like locusts, trying to gnaw Du Lu to nothing.

Du Yunfeng's estimate was correct, the Japanese army had indeed figured out their situation, such a fierce attack was to take down Du's brigade, and the even more important and more veiled purpose was to capture Du Yunfeng alive.

Must live.

Who let this army be fully commanded by Masaharu Imanobu? His intelligence has long shown that this Du Yunfeng in the Chinese army is the little bandit leader outside the customs back then, and he followed his son to instigate him to betray the Japanese. .

Catching him is equivalent to catching half of Zhou Lan. With bait, the fish will not swim too far.

He heavily surrounded and trapped Du Lu alive in a small county below Heze.

That county town is an ancient city, quite like Confucius' hometown of a state of etiquette, quaint and simple, but that quaintness is only as far as today, and rounds of tank shelling have almost flattened the thousand-year-old ancient city wall.

Telegrams for help from the Du brigade continued to be sent, and the National Military Commission, which had moved to Chongqing, immediately mobilized the surrounding army to increase its personnel, trying to snatch its direct line team from the enemy's mouth.

The one who received the rescue signal was the Mo Division of the 29th Army that withdrew to the vicinity of Heze. After receiving the order, an additional regiment was sent there. However, this regiment never returned, and was surrounded by the Japanese army without even throwing up a bone. come out.

The situation was grim, and Master Mo was unwilling to send people in. After all, it was an irrelevant team, and he was not a member of the 29th Army.

The Japanese army surrounded the ancient city, but they were not in a hurry to attack. Du Yunfeng was a little strange—it stands to reason that the Japanese air force had an advantage, so he would be a soft-shelled turtle. Casualties, the opponent will not be unaware of this.

The air force of the Chinese army was gathered at Jianqiao, Hangzhou, and had no scruples about the north, and the Du brigade could only be beaten.

But the Japanese army did not use the air force at all, which was very different from their previous style of play.

After a day and a night of siege, the Du Brigade couldn't take it anymore. They had no supplies and were seriously short of ammunition.

Without cannonballs, no matter how powerful the cannon is, it is useless. It is useless except for getting in the way.

Du Brigade asked for help again, and some of the 50th Army with a radius of 29 miles tried to respond, but the Japanese army fought back forcefully.

The author has something to say:

Forget about the last chapter, the plot can be picked up from here.
