At 1 o'clock in the morning on April 7, 1938, the Chinese army sounded the clarion call for counterattack.
The left-wing corps, mainly composed of Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army, and the right-wing corps, mainly composed of Tang Enbo's 20th Army, launched a massive counterattack in Taierzhuang and its surrounding areas. .
When Zhang Wei was injured, it was also the time when the Chinese army attacked with the most ferocity.
After four days of fierce fighting, the Chinese army severely damaged the Japanese Setani Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment.
The remaining Japanese troops retreated to Yicheng and Zaozhuang on the 7th.
After several days of crazy siege, the two detachments of the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.
The Sakamoto detachment even abandoned several 150-mm howitzers and tractors, and abandoned some wounded.
The Japanese army's embarrassment can be seen.
In the past few days, the boiling land of Lunan, The Japanese troops were defeated, chased, and wounded like rats crossing the street.
All Chinese soldiers were fighting as hard as they could.
The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, and the Chinese army also suffered huge losses.
Tang Enbo's regiment alone in southern Shandong suffered more than 20,000 casualties.
Many grassroots units of the army are even empty.
An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood.
Victory must be paid for with blood, and every drop of blood is not shed in vain.
The news of Taierzhuang's victory spread throughout the country.
It was like a shot in the arm for the Chinese army and hundreds of millions of people who had been defeated one after another since the war began.
Everyone was excited about it.
These are both very close and far away for Zhang Wei and his independent company.
After Zhang Wei was injured that day, Chen Chunyi also received an order from above when arranging for them to rest.
"Chen Tuan, an independent company of the 200th Division of the friendly forces.
They have fought bravely in recent days and should be regarded as a model for our army.
Now that the victory has been achieved, we will summarize the battle reports of this company and send them to the 200th Division stationed in Hunan.
Qiu Qingquan, the deputy division seat of the 200th Division He and Du Shizuo Yuming were also very concerned about the company and reported the results of the battle truthfully.
Let the company take a short rest and immediately make arrangements to return to Hunan to rebuild."
Zhang Wei received this order even though he was injured.
He didn't say anything about rest, and waited for the train to board with his people.
Chen Chunyi knew that he was impatient.
After the situation stabilized, he quickly contacted the 20th Army Corps Headquarters to arrange a train.
It was also the first train after the war eased slightly.
Saying goodbye to Chen Chunyi and the 23rd Regiment that he had fought with for more than half a month, Zhang Wei led the independent company and embarked on this special train full of smoke and blood.
There was more waiting for him in the distance.
Needless to say, what happened along the way, for Zhang Wei and most of the officers and soldiers of the independent company, it was basically sleeping, eating, eating and sleeping again.
The land of Xiangtan and Xianghu has not yet been disturbed by the war, and everything maintains its original scenery, except for the military vehicles that drive back and forth from time to time.
At Xiangtan East Station, on a platform dedicated to the army, a staff captain sent by the 200th Division Headquarters led a formation from the division's special agent battalion to stand guard on the platform.
The soldiers wore cloth shoes and held domestic Zhongzheng products in their hands.
Rifles, the light machine gun group of each squad is equipped with Soviet-style Depp light machine guns.
The 200 Division is constantly expanding, and there is also a huge shortage of soldiers.
Unlike the soldiers in the subordinate units, the soldiers in the subordinate expansion units mostly come from the "recruited" strong men in each division's area, while the soldiers in the special agent battalion are mostly from Du Yuming's armored corps.
The temperament and majesty he brought here are naturally not comparable to those of the strong soldiers.
Although he tried to save money on the slightly rough military uniform, the 35mm steel helmet on his head and the shiny steel gun still did not dare to be looked down upon.
"Commander Fang, we're almost here." asked the platoon leader of the special agent battalion carrying a rifle.
"It's about time, even if it's slower, you still have to wait.
This master has a lot of background.
Deputy Commander Qiu started to warn him a few days ago.

I heard that he passed away from Nanjing with him.
You and I are very fond of him.
You have to be polite, and he is a serious captain and company commander."
The platoon leader nodded, and some of his original impatience disappeared.
"Report, coming" a soldier holding a rifle shouted in the distance.
In the train carriage, Zhang Wei and the Independent Company, who had been running around day and night and sleeping for several days, were already ready.
They organized their weapons and uniforms, and the squad and platoon leaders also began to organize their troops and prepare to get off the train.
"He Kun, Qiu Wei, Hao Zhong, lead your platoons.
The squad leaders below should not wander around and lead their own soldiers.
The search squad should follow me closely and prepare to get off.
Don't embarrass us."
"Yes, don't bother."
"Watch it, don't lose the bayonet and the grenade, don't fucking slide out."
There was a harsh grinding sound and the feeling of falling forward, and the car stopped.
Zhang Wei stepped out of the carriage first.
Although the squad and platoon leaders behind him were also organizing, the soldiers obviously wanted to breathe fresh air as soon as possible, so they must have moved very fast.
"Step out and line up for me, with platoons as units."
Zhang Wei gave the verbal order, and the soldiers who stepped out of the carriage quickly returned to their formation and formed a marching formation.
Several platoon leaders completed the count and reported to Zhang Wei immediately after confirming that it was correct.
"Okay, the whole company is here, everyone is here, let's go" Zhang Wei had already seen the troops dozens of meters away.
They must have come to greet him and the troops.
He couldn't lose his status and face at this time.
"Guns on shoulders" More than 80 rifles were placed on the same number of shoulders.
With neat steps and military uniforms baptized with blood and fire, a different atmosphere immediately bloomed in this peaceful land. brilliance.
"Commander Fang, this group of people has a lot of trouble.
I don't think there are many of these people in the entire division."
Staff Officer Fang nodded, straightened his uniform, and trotted over with the platoon leader.
When Zhang Wei saw others running, he also started running, leading the troops behind him to follow Zhang Wei.
"Hello, sir."
It was Staff Officer Fang who said it first, which made Zhang Wei a little confused.
He originally thought that the person picking up the person would have to put on some airs, but then he saw Staff Officer Fang's military rank, Lieutenant, which was one level lower than him.
Then he couldn't show off to others.
Zhang Wei quickly returned the salute, and then nodded in frustration with the platoon leader next to Staff Fang.
In the subsequent conversation, Zhang Wei learned that Qiu Qingquan and Du Yuming asked Staff Officer Fang to bring a platoon from the division's secret service battalion to pick him up.
Originally, Qiu Qingquan wanted to go there in person, but he was too busy with military affairs.
According to Staff Officer Fang, According to the statement, nearly a thousand new recruits came to the Xiangbei Division area, and a large number of Soviet-made weapons arrived, which was too busy at all, so staff officers were sent.
"Chief Qiu is busy, we can all understand that.
Besides, we have more than a hundred heads and we can't use them."
Staff Officer Fang waved his hand and said: "You are too humble.
The division commander praised your company's performance, and Chief of Staff Liao was also very impressed."
"That's an exaggeration."
Zhang Wei chuckled, ending his courtesy, and the second lieutenant platoon leader on the side came up to him.
"It's not too early, why don't we go back quickly."
Both Staff Officer Fang and Zhang Wei knew it was time to go back, so the three of them organized their troops and drove out of the train station with companies and platoons of troops.
The train station was still quite chaotic.

People from the secret service battalion were in front with turntable machine guns.
After some wandering, a path was cleared.
Zhang Wei and the others walked out.
There were ten large trucks parked outside the station, with "200d" signs painted on the carriages.
They looked like they were German-made trucks.
Zhang Wei estimated that they were German-made cars purchased before the war
