The Teaching Brigade and the 65th Regiment returned victorious, and the two units joined forces on the Nanbin Highway to march together in the direction of Kunlun Pass, a huge contingent of more than 3,000 men.
It was about to advance to Jiutang in front, where the main force of the new 22nd Division was garrisoning and building positions.
In the darkening sky, the teaching brigade and the 65th regiment hurriedly marched forward, and the teaching brigade walked in front of the 65th regiment because of its small number and flexible movements, and more than 2,000 people of the 65th regiment, as well as heavy equipment such as mountain artillery, all marched behind the teaching brigade.
The teaching brigade opened the way in front and advanced, while Zhang Wei first went to the regimental headquarters of the 65th Regiment and met with Deng Junlin.
In contrast to the quiet and calm of the teaching brigade, in the marching ranks of the 65th Regiment, there were constantly officers checking the soldiers and urging their subordinates to march on the march.
Zhang Wei, who was in the marching ranks of the 65th Regiment, of course knew the reason, and when it was dark, the officers of the 65th Regiment were not only afraid that some soldiers would get lost and fall behind, but also that they would desert from the army. ” Helpless.
In the center of the team, the regimental headquarters of the 65th Regiment, as soon as Zhang Wei saw Deng Junlin, Deng Junlin hammered Zhang Wei's shoulder fiercely, with a happy face, annihilating a brigade of the Japanese army, which made him very happy.
After talking with Deng Junlin for a while, Deng Junlin first took out the telegram he had just sent out with great sincerity, and Zhang Wei finished reading the telegram, and in the simple content, he truthfully and concisely introduced the results of the siege of the heights.
Deng Junlin took the initiative to show himself the telegram, which was to show his heart to Zhang Wei, telling Zhang Wei that he did not do anything in the telegram, set up an ambush, and taught the credit of the brigade.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the national army, there are many factions and mountains, and there are many things to do in the telegram after the war.
After reading the telegram, Zhang Wei understood in his heart, but he didn't say it, everyone just knew this kind of thing.
After that, Zhang Wei learned about the attack process of the friendly army, the general battle situation, and the telegram exchange with the division.
Zhang Wei also learned of the losses of the 65th Regiment, which lost more than 180 people and nearly 100 wounded in the battle to attack the high grounds, including a captain company commander, three second lieutenant platoon commanders, and a lieutenant platoon commander.
What made Zhang Wei sad was that Deng Junlin told him that among the four platoon commanders who died in battle, except for the platoon commander who was promoted by soldiers and came from the army, the other three second lieutenant platoon commanders were all graduates of the military academy who had been trained by the teaching brigade and were new platoon commanders who had been assigned to the 65th Regiment before the war.
All three of them died in the attack on the heights, and they were all the first soldiers, taking the initiative to lead the soldiers to launch a surprise attack, personally holding rifles, throwing grenades, impacting the Japanese army's firepower points, and finally martyred their country, and the sacrifices were very heroic.
Hearing the news, Zhang Wei was both proud of the heroic performance of the three platoon commanders, but also a little sad; from the perspective of soldiers, they took the lead and were worthy of the status of soldiers and the cultivation of the Central Military Academy, as well as the discipline and education of the teaching brigade.
It's a pity that these few students brought out by themselves, their military careers have just begun, they have completed training, left the troops, led soldiers, and become platoon commanders.
A few months ago, these three students may have listened to their own lectures in class, taught the veterans of the brigade on the training ground, and now they have fulfilled their oath to sacrifice their lives for the country.
Zhang Wei was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, they were all born and brought by himself, vigorous and vigorous, and officers in their prime, and three people were killed in the battle of besieging the heights.
Deng Junlin persuaded: "Brother, the platoon commanders you taught the brigade to bring out are good, at the critical moment, these gang of people can lead people to rush up, and when the battle is over, I will fight for more compensation for them when they are killed." ” "It's nothing, on the day they went to the battlefield, they should be mentally prepared, but I remembered that these three platoon commanders were students a few months ago, and I felt a little uncomfortable."
Zhang Wei said.
"The brothers who died in battle are all good, no matter what, Brother Zhang, now, we have come out on top, we have eaten so many devils, the troops in various theaters, we are afraid that it is the only pension for the fallen officers, and my surname Deng will definitely be implemented," Deng Junlin said.
"Well, sir's right.
These fallen brethren must be well cared for."
The 65th Regiment and the Teaching Brigade stepped on the slightly wet soil on the Nanbin Highway and advanced towards the predetermined Jiutang position Jiutang, the temporary command post of the newly formed 22nd Division.
There was a rush of footsteps.
"Division, Commander Deng Junlin of the 65th Regiment urgently telegraphed" Deputy Division Commander Liao of the New 22nd Division said eagerly, holding the telegram that had just been translated in his hand.
"There is a case" Chai Zhao, chief of staff of the new 22nd Division, who was looking at the map, raised his head and asked Deputy Division Commander Liao before Qiu Luozi.
Deputy Division Commander Liao signaled to Chai Zhao.
"Yes, Senza, the telegram from the sixty-fifth regiment just came."
"Let's read it" The division commander on one side, Qiu Madman, said.
Deputy Division Commander Liao picked up the telegram and read it out word by word.
"The Commander's Seat, the Commander of the Teaching Brigade Zhang Wei, is the main force of the Brigade, and the regiment is working together with the Teaching Brigade of the Division, converging to encircle and annihilate all of the 1st Brigade of the 21st Infantry Brigade of the 5th Division of the enemy, killing more than 1,000 enemies before and after, and is now retreating, and the enemy's follow-up reinforcements are still advancing.
Deputy Division Commander Liao read to the end, his tone was a little strange, the expression on the faces of the division commander Qiu Madman, and the division chief of staff Chai Zhao were also very exciting, and even the staff officers in the command post, as well as several division chiefs and ordnance chiefs, couldn't help but turn their eyes to Deputy Division Commander Liao.
The news of the annihilation of a brigade was too harsh, and apparently, the officers in the command post were shocked.
The command post fell silent for a while.
Madman Qiu took the telegram from Deputy Division Commander Liao, read it carefully, and repeated a few key words in the telegram in his mouth.
"Annihilate an infantry brigade, Zhang Wei is the leader" "Deputy Division, where is the sixty-fifth regiment now?"
Qiu Maniac's inquiring tone was suspicious, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation.
Deputy Division Commander Liao hesitated for half a minute: "It is estimated that it will be able to join the main force of the division in another half an hour." ” With a bang, Madman Qiu slapped the telegram on the table.
"Order the troops to pay attention to the situation on the road, and send the divisional special service company to pick up the teaching brigade and the 65th regiment as soon as possible" Read the URL:
