War of Resistance

Chapter 264 Guangdong Army Troops
After Zhou Fangjie's order was issued, the few hundred remaining soldiers of the penetration regiment began to gather.

There were more than 500 people when they set off from the Yangtze River, and now there are only a few hundred people left. It has to be said that the breakout along the way was very tragic.

"Report to the deputy head, everyone in the penetration regiment except the temporary fourth battalion and third company has assembled!" A lieutenant reported loudly.

Zhou Fangjie nodded, looked at the tired faces in front of him, and said, "Brothers, I know that everyone is suffering and tired, but we want to live on! Think about it, we have broken through all this way. How many enemy blockades, how many enemy troops have been wiped out! Soon, we will be able to go out! Everyone, start reporting and counting the number of people!"

"Yes! Each platoon counts!" The lieutenant ordered loudly.

"one two three four……"

"one two three four……"

Soon, the sound of counting was heard.

However, none of these affected Zhang Tianhai's rest. He was too tired and couldn't bear it any longer.

The snoring sounds seem to be incompatible with the enthusiastic counting scene, but they are very harmonious.

"Report to the deputy head, the headquarters of the Penetration Regiment, there are only 640 people left outside the fourth battalion and third company!" the lieutenant Hui reported.

Too tragic.

Even with the addition of the temporary fourth battalion and third company, there are only 900 people left. From more than 500 people to only [-] people left, one can imagine how tragic the battle along the way was.

Among them, more than 1000 people from the first temporary battalion were all sacrificed in Chunhua Town. In addition to the second company of Gu Shi'an from the second temporary battalion, more than [-] brothers were killed in the whole battle.

"Everyone... let's rest for a while!" Zhou Fangjie finally announced the order to rest. Not only was he tired, but everyone was too tired. They were almost at the point where they couldn't move, including him, Zhou Fangjie.

"Yes..." Gu Shi'an responded, the lieutenant was exactly him.

……

Then turn the camera to Wu Jianxiong, the [-]th division.

Wu Jianxiong is a veteran general of the Guangdong Army. Since 1915, he has served as an officer in the First Mixed Brigade of the Guangdong Army. He has participated in countless battles. At this time, he is not only the commander of the 80th Division , or the deputy commander of the No.[-] Army.

It has to be said that Wu Jianxiong was very keen in capturing fighter planes, and launched a full-scale attack when the Japanese army and the officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment had fought fiercely for two hours and were about to be overwhelmed.

Wu Jianxiong knew that the Japanese army only had one regiment and did not carry heavy weapons. As long as the friendly army was not too weak, they could basically withstand it.

Yes, what he wants is for the friendly army on the opposite side to help him wear down the spirit of the Japanese army before launching an attack. Otherwise, with his more than 2000 people, he will launch a fierce attack from the beginning. I am afraid that the Japanese army will regard his side as the number one target. up.

It's just that Wu Jianxiong didn't expect that the breakthrough team's ability to fight was beyond his expectations. He originally planned to launch a fierce attack after the battle lasted for about an hour, but the penetration team lasted for two full hours!

Although the members of the Penetration Regiment came from various units of the Central Army and were exhausted, don't forget that they were a group of veterans. Under the catalysis of the will to survive, they broke out extremely powerful combat effectiveness.

After the battle started, as expected by Wu Jianxiong, the Japanese army was caught off guard. When they were attacked, the Japanese army immediately chose to withdraw.

Now is the time to reap the results of the battle, so Wu Jianxiong first asked all the troops to refit with Japanese weapons, and then assembled.

Zhou Fangjie had no choice but to ask the officers and soldiers under his command to collect some ammunition for the "wretched appearance" of these friendly troops who came to support.

As for these Japanese weapons and equipment, Zhou Fangjie really doesn't like them, the caliber is small and the penetration is not enough.

But since we have already arrived here, and there is no ammunition to replenish, Zhou Fangjie, who is very "thrifty and housekeeping", directly ordered that German rifles are not allowed to be thrown away, and light machine guns are not allowed, but he can carry an extra [-] cover.

This made the officers and soldiers of the Penetration Regiment a little miserable. They suddenly added a few pounds of stuff, and it was a lie to say that it was not difficult to memorize.

"Guns and the like, as long as you have them, take the bullets!" Zhou Fangjie hastily ordered the officers and soldiers under his command to collect ammunition. The most embarrassing situation now is that there is no ammunition for the gun.

……

"Master, the brothers in the army have all gone to pick up guns and bullets. Shall we meet the commander of our friendly army?" Chief of Staff Xue Rui asked Wu Jianxiong.

"It is necessary to meet each other, but we have to wait a few more minutes. They will find them first, and we have done them a big favor." Wu Jianxiong said calmly. In this battle, the 400th Division He also lost three or four hundred people. Logically speaking, Zhang Tianhai really had to accept his favor.

If it weren't for the [-]th Division's action, the only few hundred people left in the penetration regiment would have all been buried here.

Sure enough, after arranging the troops to clear the field, Zhou Fangjie woke up Zhang Tianhai.

"Head Zhang, wake up!" Zhou Fangjie stepped forward and patted Zhang Tianhai, who was already in a deep sleep.

"Ah?" Soon, Zhang Tianhai woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Fangjie. He asked, "How is it, how is the army handling it?"

"It's okay. We still have 640 people left. Counting the company that covered the people's retreat, we still have more than 900 people. Our battle has broken bones. In just over two hours, there were casualties More than 600 people." Zhou Fangjie said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, I guess the little devil's casualties will not be small, as long as the little devil's casualties are not small, our battle will be worth it." Zhang Tianhai said vigorously, and only took a short rest, which was obviously not enough Yes, but it is true that the spirit is better.

Why did Zhang Tianhai say it was worth it?Because he knew that if he hadn't brought this group of people here, they would have waited to die at the Xiaguan Wharf or surrendered, and even if they launched a counterattack there, they would have been unilaterally slaughtered.

"Well. Alright, Commander Zhang, it's time for us to meet the commander of the friendly army who helped us a lot. I have already arranged the troops and am already collecting ammunition. I believe that when we come back, we can retreat directly. "Zhou Fangjie said.

"That's all right, let's go now. He has done us a great favor, we have to be righteous! By the way, have the common people chased him back now?" Zhang Tianhai stood up and said, he was not so procrastinating Besides, it is also right to go to see others first.

"I have already sent someone to chase after him, and I think he will be back in a short time." Zhou Fangjie reported truthfully.

Zhang Tianhai and others walked all the way, and saw those officers and soldiers in blue and gray military uniforms, searching for guns and ammunition.

Seeing the military uniforms they were wearing, Zhang Tianhai knew that they were officers and soldiers of the Cantonese Army. Except for the Cantonese Army who wore uniforms of this color, there was only Xu Yuanquan's Second Army Corps.

But obviously, Xu Yuanquan's Second Army Corps was in the direction of Wulong Mountain, and only the Cantonese Army's troops and Ma Weilong's Third Brigade of the Teaching Corps happened to break out from here.

It can be known by the method of elimination that it must be one of the two Cantonese troops.
