Base System of Bashu Heroes
Chapter 44 Straw Boat Crossing the River
At this time, Xizai's fishing boat had arrived at the Dangtu River, but it could not carry more than one battalion in each round trip, so Liu Ling was hurriedly circling around.
Liu Ling was at a loss what to do. Lang Yi, the adjutant and staff officer next to him, consoled him: "Master, being anxious won't help. You haven't eaten for a day. I asked the cooking team to get some food at the station. How about you take a random bite first?"
Liu Ling could still eat there. He was anxious, but he couldn't refuse Lang Yi's kindness. Following Lang Yi, he came to the temporary station. The temporary station was an abandoned brick kiln, where soldiers waiting to cross the river gathered for a temporary rest.
Lang Yi brought a bowl of fish soup, and Liu Ling drank a few sips indiscriminately. The sound of gunfire from the blocking position made him worried. The fish soup was also difficult to swallow, as if it was stuck in his throat. He couldn't drink it. He put the fish soup in the
He said to Lang Yi at the table: "Commander Lang, can you send more people out to collect as many ships as possible?"
Lang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Master! All the fishing boats within a radius of dozens of miles have been gathered here by Xizai. There is really nothing I can do."
Liu Ling also knew that his question was nonsense, and the battalion commanders of all the regiments thought of every possible solution. He stood up silently and walked towards the river again. When he passed the brick kiln open space, his eyes lit up.
There are a large number of straw curtains used by small brick kilns to cover the blanks in the open space. Reeds are abundant in the Yangtze River area. Ordinary small farmers cut the reeds during their spare time, weave them into straw curtains and sell them to factories or paper mills that need them. The owner of a small brick kiln should
I was in a hurry when I left, so a lot of straw curtains were not used in time and were scattered in the open space.
Can dozens of straw curtains that are several feet long and more than one foot wide be used as a boat if they are overlapped and fixed with a small amount of wood? Liu Ling had an idea and called La Yi to lead a few soldiers to make a simple straw boat according to his own ideas.
, put it in the river for experiments, it really works, Lang Yi was so excited that he shouted to Liu Ling: "Master, it's okay, it's really okay!"
Liu Ling couldn't restrain his excitement. He climbed onto the straw boat and tried it. It could carry more than a dozen people. The stems of the reeds were hollow. Although they were thinner, a large number of reeds were bundled together and they could carry the weight of more than a dozen people.
After the test, Liu Ling raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, imitate the first straw boat style and cross the river in a straw boat."
The soldiers swarmed towards the straw curtain, demolishing the houses if they could not find wood, and using gaiters if there was no rope. Soon, hundreds of straw boats were built and launched into the water one after another. The straw boats sailed majestically on the river to the north bank. They had already crossed.
Jiang's soldiers looked on dumbfounded, and some of them murmured to themselves: "What are you doing, sir? Is this okay?"
Not only did it work, but it actually worked. The troops crossed the river smoothly. After receiving Liu Ling's order to retreat, the blocking troops retreated while fighting. Under the cover of artillery fire and small steamer soldiers from the other side of the river, they also retreated smoothly and pursued them to the river.
The captain of the 44th Regiment of the Japanese Sixth Division, Harada Tsuruyoshi, who was standing next to him, stared with an incredulous expression for a long time before murmuring to himself: "The wisdom of the Chinese people is unparalleled in the world."
Liu Tianchu almost jumped up with excitement when he learned that Liu Ling was crossing the river by boat. He was right. With a little training, Liu Ling would be a bright general. Chen Jiaqi created the anti-slope tactic, Ma Liangjun bombarded Longwang Mountain, and Jiang Hui'an exploded the mountain barrier.
Road, Dongfang Zhenhua burned Japanese warships, Liu Ling was not the only one who had the qualifications to be a general, Chen Jiaqi, Ma Liangjun and others all have the potential to stand alone, and they will definitely become famous in the future.
The Sichuan Army created a series of miracles in Nanjing. At this time, Liu Tianchu did not know that due to the butterfly effect produced by the Nanjing Defense War, the Japanese army was eager to open the Jinpu Line to support the Nanjing Battle. The Xuzhou Battle and the time recorded in history were moved forward by a full month, while Wuhan
The battle was delayed for nearly half a year.
Current situation: The Battle of Lanfeng has failed, and the Battle of Xuzhou has ended with a great victory at Taierzhuang. Our army has suffered heavy casualties and has no reinforcements, so it is at a disadvantage. If we continue to excessively consume our troops at a time and place that is not a decisive battle, it will inevitably affect the entire war situation. In order to
Preserving strength is conducive to the protracted war of resistance. The headquarters believes that when the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is not appropriate to consume limited forces head-on. Xuzhou troops should be proactively transferred to Wufu, Xicheng, Sujia and other lines in a planned manner to occupy favorable positions.
The terrain, relying on the existing defense fortifications, prevents the enemy's advance, and seizes the opportunity to actively repair and strive for victory in future battles. The Chairman adopted the above opinions and ordered the frontline troops to act as planned...
The commander of the fifth theater, Li Zongren, and the Lanfeng front-line national troops were preparing to retreat, while three divisions and several detachments of the Japanese army, including the 14th Division, the 13th Division, and the 5th Division, gathered heavily to invade the south in order to retaliate against Taierzhuang.
After the defeat, the Japanese army carried out a brutal massacre in Jinan near Xuzhou, and there was also an extremely ugly revenge mentality. Because they suffered heavy losses in the second phase of the defense battle of Nanjing, they always wanted to find opportunities to retaliate against the Chinese soldiers and civilians. And because of Nanjing
The Sichuan army resisted very tenaciously. After retreating, they marched to Shandong and besieged Qingdao. This made the Japanese army increasingly angry and wanted to show off their force through massacres and frighten the government. However, the Japanese army's battle report downplayed this tragedy and called it "Yoshioka's pursuit."
The detachment coordinated with the Toda Detachment and the Qiu Mu Detachment near Jinan and achieved significant results. Then it transferred to Xuzhou, rejoined the main force of the detachment, and went south with all its strength." Only the folk songs sung today about the atrocities of the Japanese army recount this tragic scene: "
The Yellow River is yellow, the Yellow River is yellow. The Japanese army came and suffered a disaster. Tens of thousands of our compatriots were killed tragically. Corpses were scattered across the fields for ten miles. Thousands of miles of rivers were as bloody as the sea. The mournful husband wept and his children recounted the spirit of the emperor." The "National Daily" of that year also reported on Jinan.
The tragedy triggered an outcry across the country.
After the Battle of Xuzhou, the elite Japanese troops aimed directly at Wuhan. In late May of that year, the Chairman of the Standing Committee rejected the harsh inducements and conditions proposed by the Japanese imperialists and insisted on restoring the situation before the July 7th Incident before negotiating. German Ambassador to China Tod
Mann failed to mediate the Sino-Japanese armistice issue under Hitler's order. The Chairman of the Generalissimo knew very well at that time that since the Japanese invading forces had achieved partial victories in the battlefields of Shanghai, Nanjing, and Xuzhou, they had to restore the status quo before the July 7th Incident before negotiating.
It is just a dream. He did this mainly to express the determination of the people of the whole country to fight to the end and to stop the Japanese invaders from their delusions. Wuhan and Changsha would rather turn into scorched earth than surrender to the enemy. Even if they cannot hold on, they will still make the enemy pay the price of blood and flesh.
If we give up easily, it may shake the determination of the people across the country to fight to the end against the enemy, and dampen the ambition of the frontline soldiers to bravely kill the enemy and serve the country. Therefore, the political significance of defending Wuhan and Changsha far exceeds the military value, and no one will agree to give up easily.
.
At this time, Liu Tianchu learned that the battle of Lanfeng had failed and the national army retreated, so he had to redeploy. He led the 133rd Division and the 134th Division directly into Lanfeng, while Chen Jiaqi's troops of the 136th Division retreated behind the national army.
Later, they took over Xuzhou and stood firm in Linyi. Ma Liangjun led the 135th Division and Feng Huaizhu's 137th Division through Xuzhou and Pan Wenhua's 23rd Army attacked Tai'an and Jinan in two groups. At the same time, he threatened the whole country and informed the Chairman of the National Committee,
Do not blow up the Huayuankou. The Sichuan army should do its best to block the Japanese army from the Yellow River.
At the beginning of the offensive, Liu Tianchu informed the entire group army in writing. He first denounced the Japanese imperialists for disregarding international public law and brazenly launching a large-scale military aggression against us, burning, killing, and looting, which was inhumane and committed heinous crimes against our people. He said
, Japanese imperialism has long been deliberately planning to annex China and dominate the world as its established national policy. The sudden attack of the "September 18th" incident forced it to occupy the northeast of our country, establish a puppet government, break away from the motherland, and make it its vassal.
After capturing the four eastern provinces, the Japanese invaders made further progress and became more ambitious. They also used military pressure to create the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in an attempt to force the North China authorities to succumb to the threat of force, accept their special conditions for North China, and create a second Manchukuo state.
Because our generals and soldiers and civilians in North China could not bear it anymore and rose up to fight out of righteous indignation; the enemy was still unwilling to accept his conspiracy and conspiracy and launched a large-scale military aggression in Shanghai, the gate of our economic center capital. Peace now
Already in despair, sacrifice has come to the last moment. In order to protect the survival of the country and the nation, we must unswervingly carry out the War of Resistance Against Japan to the end. Now, in order to lead the Sichuan Army to continue the war of resistance, we have to leave Nanjing and go to Shandong. I hope that everyone can unite sincerely and obey orders.
, Fight the enemy bravely, be benevolent if you fail, be loyal to the country, be filial to the nation, do not let down the great trust of Commander-in-Chief Liu Xiang, and don't let down the high hopes of the people of Bashu.
The whole bulletin was heavy-handed, serious and sincere, expressing hatred for the Japanese invaders and expectations for the Sichuan Army. After reading it, the officers of each division nodded frequently. Everyone from top to bottom in the Sichuan Army felt sad and solemn, with tears in their eyes. They all felt that the country and the nation were upright.
At this critical moment, it was the time when the descendants of Yan and Huang, the revolutionary soldiers, risked their lives through fire and water. Later, the commanders of each division repeatedly conveyed and encouraged the soldiers that regaining the lost ground was a glorious and rare opportunity in life, and death was more important than Mount Tai.
Death means life. Each of the soldiers swore to put their property and life aside, fight bloody battles with the enemies of Shandong to the end, and vowed to live and die with the position.
