On the position on the east bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal outside Siyang City, Ge Sanmin and dozens of surviving brothers were collecting ammunition in the gap between the enemy's attacks, in a mess, corpse-ridden position, and the two divisions of the Kuomintang recalcitrant army launched a tidal wave attack on Ge Sanmin's position under the cover of heavy artillery fire.
Under the threat of the Kuomintang soldiers' machine guns, many ordinary people who drove the boat rowed towards the east bank with a boatload full of Kuomintang soldiers, and the four or five hundred brothers of Ge Sanmin's battalion only fought with the enemy for two hours, and most of the brothers who stayed behind were scarred, among which there were dozens of brothers who were seriously wounded and could not fight.
Give us a grenade, and the enemy rushes in, and even if we die, we will blow up several enemy pads" As soon as Ge Sanmin heard the words of these brothers who regarded death as home, it seemed that something was plugged in his throat, and he choked up and couldn't speak, thinking that there were no brothers around him who could escort these seriously wounded people to retreat, so he had to issue them three grenades each, so that they could die with the enemy when the enemy rushed into the position.
A large number of swarming Kuomintang recalcitrant soldiers have forced to cross the canal, for a time the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal outside Siyang City was overcrowded, the wide canal was full of dense enemy ships crossing the river, batch after batch of enemies broke through Ge Sanmin's left and right flank positions, and inserted themselves into the back of Ge Sanmin's position, Ge Sanmin looked at the position of a mess, many good brothers fell on the position, flesh and blood blurred, there were only dozens of brothers left around him who could take up arms to fight, Thinking that this time he may be glorious here, thinking that in the past few years, he has been fighting hard with the vicious Japanese devils, and has not fallen under the guns of the little devils, but now he is going to die at the hands of the Kuomintang recalcitrant army team who are also Chinese, Ge Sanmin feels a little wronged and unconvinced: How can I end up with the same ending as the chief of staff, Lao Ding Just when Ge Sanmin and the others were planning to concentrate their ammunition and fight to the death with the Kuomintang soldiers who were about to rush into the position, they were all the same, when suddenly in the southwest direction of the canal bank, there was a fierce sound of gunfire, and there was a commotion in the charging formation of the Kuomintang recalcitrant troops who were storming the position.
Listening to the sound of guns and cannons of those plainclothes armed forces, it is definitely not the armed forces of our Jiangbei New Fourth Army, where does our Jiangbei New Fourth Army have so many good weapons for continuous fire, and the sound of so many mortar bombardments makes Ge Sanmin even more confused: "Where did these armed forces who are desperately blocking the stubborn Kuomintang army over there come from, it is not our New Fourth Army, which will be that team?"
Seeing the commotion in the ranks of the Kuomintang recalcitrant troops who were storming the position in front, Ge Sanmin couldn't care about the doubts in his heart: "Regardless of which team came to save us, now take advantage of the weakening momentum of the enemy's attack on the opposite side to immediately rush forward and hit a fucking counterattack."
Ge Sanmin jumped out of the trench, waved his hand to the brothers behind him and shouted: "Brothers who can still move, rush up with me and drive those dog offals down the canal."
Dozens of brothers on the position jumped out of the trench one after another, holding the weapons in their hands, shouting and rushing towards the Kuomintang recalcitrant soldiers on the opposite side, those enemies were suffering from the blow of the plainclothes armed forces that suddenly came from the flank, and they were in a hurry, and now Ge Sanmin and their dozens of unfathomable heroes rushed up in unison, and suddenly lost the fighting spirit to continue fighting, under the shouting of a Kuomintang officer, the recalcitrant army retreated to the bank of the canal, trying to get on a small boat, retreat to the other side of the canal and flee for their lives Where to run Ge Sanmin They saw that the enemy was about to run, and hurriedly pursued them, and those plainclothes armed brothers who came to reinforce Ge Sanmin also chased them all the way, and chased those fleeing enemies to the bank of the canal, and when these enemies who ran away in front of them ran to the bank of the canal, they saw the empty piece of the canal, and were dumbfounded: where did these many small boats moored on the bank go?"
It turned out that the local villagers who were forcibly recruited by the Kuomintang soldiers couldn't stand the beating and scolding of the recalcitrant soldiers, and when they returned to the other side of the canal, while the Kuomintang soldiers were not paying attention, they fled into the forked river ports on the side of the canal in small boats.
The chief of staff next to him said to Division Commander Qian: "Division commander, I don't think it's necessary, since our large army has almost all crossed the canal, and the current offensive is fierce, it is estimated that we will soon be able to conquer the positions on the bank of the canal and recover Siyang City, those Diao people will leave them alone, and it will not be too late to slowly clean them up after we conquer Huai'an City."
As soon as Division Commander Qian heard the words of the chief of staff, he felt that it made sense, at this moment his subordinates had already broken through most of the positions on the other side, as long as he worked harder, he was very proud of the one who completely broke through their blocking position and recovered Siyang City, and he was very proud in his heart, the American equipment was really powerful, especially those American-made howitzers, the firepower was fierce, the shooting speed was fast, and they were really good guys who attacked the city, so he nodded and asked those boatmen who were ready to go to the escaped boatmen to turn around and pack up the things at the command post, Today we can cross the river and spend the night in Siyang City These Kuomintang soldiers on the other side of the canal ran to the bank of the canal, and when they saw that the small boats that were transporting them across the river were gone, they were shocked, thinking that they could not go back at this moment, and a group of armed men in civilian clothes and armed with standard weapons suddenly came out of nowhere, and those who were supposed to be annihilated by themselves took the opportunity to turn over and catch up, and in front of them was a wide canal with rolling waves, and there were no boats, and they wanted to return to the other side alive.
What to do The officer who led the team looked at the surrounding terrain and found that the shore was low-lying, and it was undoubtedly a death to block and hold on to it on the spot, and the enemies who caught up on both sides were about to rush here, and they would definitely die if they ventured across the river, so it was better to lay down their weapons and surrender to the court, and it would be cost-effective to pick up a life.
The officer beckoned to the recalcitrant soldiers under him: There is nowhere to run, let's surrender The soldiers of the recalcitrant army below looked at it, since you officials are going to surrender, we are desperate for it, and the other side is not a Japanese devil, but the same as us, I heard that their preferential treatment of prisoners is very reliable, they would rather eat nests and gruel by themselves, and have to eat white rice for the captives who surrendered, where is there such a good place in the world, that's it, brothers, we are not soldiers to eat food wherever we go, we simply surrender to the New Fourth Army So, Ge Sanmin, who caught up, saw such a scene: thousands of heavily armed stubborn officers and soldiers on the shore threw away their weapons together, squatted on the ground with their hands raised and surrendered to Ge Sanmin, all kinds of American-made weapons were thrown all over the shore, Ge Sanmin and they were honest, they quickly rushed up, and packed up all these prisoners and weapons, and soon, the plainclothes armed forces also rushed to the shore, Ge Sanmin hurriedly thanked a leader in the team: " I don't know where you are heroes to save us, we are the independent brigade of the New Fourth Army, and the grace of saving lives must be repaid" Ge Sanmin hurriedly saluted that person, he couldn't figure out what kind of team this team was, looking at their skillful combat techniques and unified style of command, it seemed that they were not the surrounding mountain kings, and the weapons in their hands were all the same Kuomintang army configuration, which of their subordinates could risk rushing to rescue our New Fourth Army The leader on the opposite side was a tall man with a beard on his face, in his thirties, as soon as he heard Ge Sanmin speak, he hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Haha, the head of the second regiment of the independent brigade of the New Fourth Army is from the 79th Army, and he was ordered to come here to reinforce Commander Ge, we are just an advance team, the contemptible surname is Li, and he is the deputy commander of the 343rd Regiment of the 13th Division of the 79th Army, and the large army of our 13th Division is rushing here, it seems that we are not too late, We admire that hundreds of your brothers of the New Fourth Army have been able to withstand the onslaught of two fully American-armed full-strength divisions for so long. ” As soon as Ge Sanmin heard that the team that came to rescue them was from the 79th Army, he immediately became excited, and stepped forward to grasp the hand of Deputy Regiment Commander Li and said loudly to him: "Oh, it turns out that you are from the 79th Army, great, I was originally an independent brigade of the 79th Army, but now I have become an independent brigade of the New Fourth Army, thank you old commander, I haven't forgotten our old subordinates, thank you so much, if you don't arrive in time, our brothers will probably all have to stay here, and the position will not be saved."
Ge Sanmin was very excited, the 79th Army was his old army, and now when he was in danger of life and death, he could get the help of the old army and pull him back from the line of death, can he not be excited When the deputy head of the regiment Li heard this, he hurriedly saluted him and reported with a serious expression: "Hello sir, the rescue is late, please punish the sir."
When Ge Sanmin heard this, he laughed: "Deputy Regiment Commander Li, don't be polite, now I am not your commander, we are friendly troops, and this time you are not late, just right, as the saying goes: "It is better to come early than to come by chance", now those recalcitrant troops have almost all crossed the canal, although most of our blocking positions have been occupied by the enemy, but we have two brigades behind us are rushing towards this side, plus a division of your 79th Army, I think we can have a big battle with the recalcitrant army on the opposite side here." t1706231537:
