Glorious Mission 1937

When Li Yifeng led the armored troops south to Anyang, Qin Yiwu also rushed to Zhengzhou with two paratrooper brigades.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on June 1941, 6, the weather in Zhengzhou was clear and cloudy, and the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou was crowded with people, all armed soldiers.They were a security force in the first war zone organized as a regiment. In the morning, they received an order from the commander of the war zone to dig up the Huayuankou levee when the Japanese army arrived in the outskirts of Zhengzhou.

Everyone was under a lot of pressure to dig the Yellow River embankment. Leaving aside the brainy minds above, the little soldiers who performed the task below were also quite disturbed.The Yellow River is the mother river of China, and she gave birth to the splendid civilization of China for 5000 years.But since ancient times, the Yellow River has not been a law-abiding river. It has brought great disasters to the Chinese people.So that all dynasties have been working hard to comprehensively manage the Yellow River.

The flooding in the lower reaches of the Yellow River has always attracted the attention of the world. In history, the Yellow River has a saying that "bursts occur twice in three years and divert once in a hundred years".Every time a breach flooded, heavy losses were caused. The most recent flood occurred in 1933, when there were 54 downstream breaches, the affected area was more than 1 square kilometers, and the affected population reached more than 360 million.Before that, in 1931, the Yellow River flood caused the death of more than 300 million people.

Natural disasters are fine, after all, life and death are life and death, but if it is a man-made disaster, and it is such a major disaster, no matter what the reason is, you will live in self-blame for the rest of your life, so even though the guard battalion in the First War Zone has installed The explosives were prepared, but the order to blow up the embankment was delayed.

At this moment, there was a low hum in the sky.A soldier suddenly pointed in the air and shouted in horror: "Airplanes have airplanes"

All the soldiers were startled. When they looked up, they saw fifty or sixty huge planes suddenly appearing in the sky above them, and dozens of petite fighter planes were escorting them.

The commander of the security battalion in the first war zone panicked. As the security force of the war zone commander's department, he also knew some secrets. After years of war, the national government had no more chances to fight.Even if there are some, they will only be in charge of security missions on the front lines of Changsha and Chongqing, and it is impossible to come here, so it is definitely not the party-state air force that appears here now. The battalion commander's first reaction is the Japanese fighter plane.

Before he could think too much, he was awakened again by the terrified voices of the soldiers, and looked in the direction of the soldiers' fingers.I saw huge white objects suddenly falling from those large fighter planes. Many people didn't know what they were. [

The battalion commander was quite knowledgeable, knowing that they were paratroopers, and seeing that the panic was caused by the soldiers not obeying the call and shooting randomly into the sky, the battalion commander hurriedly stopped the soldiers from moving.

"Brothers, don't panic, it's the devil's paratroopers. It will take a while for them to fall. Let's light the fire quickly, and then retreat with us"

However, before the battalion commander gave the order, a small military green plane suddenly swooped over to them, and then stopped above the embankment, less than 30 meters above the ground, and then a rope was taken from the plane. After landing, a soldier in a dark green camouflage uniform quickly jumped out of the plane and took a defensive posture on the spot.

Soon, more than 30 soldiers in the same dress landed on the Yellow River Embankment, and the guard battalion in the first war zone was shocked.Few of them have seen paratroopers, let alone helicopters, and of course they don't understand the combat mode of helicopters, so they were stunned for a while.

The guard battalion commander in the First War Zone saw that the Yellow River embankment was occupied by people, and he didn't know whether to advance or retreat. If he entered, he would first kill these more than 30 strangely dressed "enemies", but this way The stakes are high, if the fight can be resolved within 3 minutes.They still have time to retreat.On the contrary, their battalion will be made dumplings by "devils".

The battalion commander looked at the terrified soldiers and sighed, there were so many enemies around him.These brothers who know themselves are already afraid.Even if he gave the order, I'm afraid no one would follow it recklessly. He gritted his teeth and finally gave the order to retreat.

However, what surprised them was that no one stopped them from retreating, let alone pursued them.

At 3:40, the two brigades under Qin Yiwu's command were assembled. The operation was a success. Except for 8400 of the 39 paratroopers who fell into the Yellow River and were washed away by the water, all of them arrived at the scheduled location at the scheduled time.

However, when the special forces sent thousands of kilograms of explosives on the Yellow River embankment to Qin Yiwu, the Sichuan man broke out in a cold sweat.If it was later, I am afraid that the Yellow River embankment would not be able to hold.

Qin Yiwu returned to the war zone commander's department, and at the same time ordered the troops to march into Zhengzhou City according to the original plan.The task of going south to Zhengzhou this time is to keep the Yellow River embankment, and also to keep Zhengzhou.

After receiving Qin Yiwu's report, Chen Feng also broke out in a cold sweat on the spot, this shit is too mysterious.The lives of tens of thousands of people were hanging by a thread, and the difference was only a few minutes. Even a person like him broke out in a cold sweat.

In fact, neither Chen Feng nor Qin Yiwu knew that the reason why the Yellow River embankment was able to persist until their arrival was entirely because the guard and battalion commander couldn't make up his mind and was always hesitating, so he wasted two hours in a daze. The levee of the Yellow River at Huangyuankou collapsed a long time ago under the order of the Commander's Department of the First War Zone.

Keeping the Yellow River embankment is only the first step. Keeping Zhengzhou is the most important thing. Only if Zhengzhou is kept, then the southward battle will not arouse too many people's opposition, and even the opposition will not be too fierce.But if Zhengzhou can't be kept, it is very likely that some people will put the shit basin of Henan's fall on his head, Mr. Chen.

This possibility is not small. After all, the Eighth War Zone went south to fight in Henan without the consent of the Nationalist Government, and on the way south, it also handed over the weapons of a regiment of the 106th Division, forcing the 106th Division to withdraw from Anyang in despair. .With such a big formation, if Zhengzhou can't be kept, Lao Jiang will definitely have a hard time explaining it.

Although Chen Feng was not worried about Lao Jiang turning against him, in order not to destroy the current good anti-Japanese atmosphere, Chen Feng still felt that he would save some face for Lao Jiang, the nominal leader of the country. [

The city of Zhengzhou was in chaos at this time. The Commander of the First War Zone had moved to Luoyang, and there was only one miscellaneous division left in Zhengzhou, and the division headquarters had also withdrawn from Zhengzhou. In fact, there was only one infantry regiment in the city.The front troops of a brigade of the Japanese army, with the cooperation of more than 50 tanks, have reached the outskirts of Zhengzhou, and may launch an attack on Zhengzhou at any time.

After hearing the news, Qin Yiwu ordered his troops to speed up the march and must enter Zhengzhou City before the Japanese army attacked the city!

郑州城内，原一战区长官司令部已经变成了第76军第196师第2团团部了。接到日军前头部队已经抵达郑州东门10公里的韩家庄的消息之后，196师2团团部乱成了一团。

"Report to the regiment, the devil's vanguard has begun to move forward again, and it is expected to arrive at the outer positions of our army in half an hour!" A second lieutenant officer came in to report.

"Continue to investigate and report as soon as there is news!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the second lieutenant went out, a lieutenant colonel couldn't wait to say: "Brother, let's withdraw, it will be too late!"

"If we retreat without firing a single shot, even if we escape by chance, we will be held accountable when we go back!" The colonel said with a gloomy face.

"Pursuing responsibility for the ass, the commander and the division commander have withdrawn their mothers. Why should we let a regiment guard Zhengzhou? Isn't this sending us to death?" the lieutenant colonel said angrily.

"Why? Just rely on us to be under the control of the mother!" The colonel said angrily.

"Report! There is a big problem with the group seat, a big problem."

"Er Gouzi, slow down your mother, what happened?" the lieutenant colonel said loudly.

"Team seats, participants, devils with lots of devils"

The colonel hurriedly asked, "Where are the devils?"

"North of the city, don't talk about tens of thousands of people!"

"what?"

The lieutenant colonel sat down on the ground dejectedly, and said, "It's over, brother, I can't leave even if I want to!"

The colonel looked at all the people in the regiment headquarters, and said in a deep voice: "If you can't leave, then don't leave. Brothers, we are all soldiers. What is the duty of a soldier? To protect our home and country, no matter what those bastards think Doing, retreating and escaping are all their business, but we have to be worthy of our conscience, since God wants us to fight with the Japanese devils, then we should be good guys for a while, those who came out of Sanxiang are not cowards, I will fight today Now, are you willing to be a hero with Lao Tzu?"

"willing!"

"willing!"

Soldiers are always so emotional, the colonel's words ignited the passion of the entire regiment!

"Okay, since the brothers are willing to work together with Lao Tzu, now listen to Lao Tzu's order: immediately abandon all the outer positions, withdraw the first battalion to the city, rely on the city fortifications to stop the little devils, the second battalion, the regiment headquarters guard company, the pistol platoon Responsible for the defense of the north and west gates, the third battalion is responsible for the defense of the south gate, and at the same time draw out a company to organize the retreat of the people from the south gate."

"Yes"

"Brothers, you all know how the little devils deal with prisoners. We would rather die than be prisoners. In addition, I will send a report to the division headquarters and ask them to take care of our little ones."

"Yes"

Before Qin Yiwu and the others arrived in Zhengzhou City, there was a fierce exchange of fire, and the sound of gunfire could be heard far away.Qin Yiwu's face changed, and he immediately ordered the troops to speed up. He knew that there was only one regiment of the 76th Army in the city. The Corps is still a regiment that is not full of members, and it can't last long at all, not to mention that Qin Yiwu doesn't think that this regiment of the Hunan Army will fight the little devils, and must advance to the city when the defenders are defeated. The situation is very critical.
