Lost and Spy

"The No.13 Division and the 39th Division of the Japanese Army are sending reinforcements to Shipai, and they will arrive by tomorrow night at the latest."

As soon as Chief of Staff Wang Naichao finished his report, Hu Lian immediately asked, "Has the 3rd Battalion been in Nanlinpo for two days?"

"Yes, it's been two days."

"Qiu Shichang did a good job defending Nanlin with the strength of a single company."

Hu Lian ordered: "Order them to persist for another day and withdraw from the position at eight o'clock tomorrow night."

"Yes!"

As soon as Wang Naichao went out, Meng Shaoyuan said: "Sir, let's go to the 7th company's position, I'm afraid we will be disabled there."

"It's not time to use you yet."

Hu Lian shook his head: "Qiu Shichang can still persevere, be patient, you will come in handy."

He took the time to look at the military commander's stone tablet advance team, and he was also a little surprised by the elite equipment.

All American equipment.

Dai Li seems to have lost all his money.

Moreover, many of them were former professional soldiers.

People like Li Zhifeng, Yi Mingyan, Su Junwen, and Miao Zhixing all fought bloody battles against the Japanese army.

Originally, Hu Lian didn't have much hope for a group of spies going to the battlefield.

But when he saw the advancing team with his own eyes, his thinking changed immediately. He also knew that Meng Shaoyuan and his advancing team would definitely come in handy!
……

Li Hancai, who had just been promoted to the commander of the 3rd company, was also killed.

The 7th company's company and the 3 platoon leaders were all killed.

Qiu Shichang was injured.

The current company commander of the 3rd company is Geng Liying, a squad leader.

This was the most tragic battle that Qiu Shichang had experienced since joining the army.

The order to retreat has been given.

They still need to continue to hold on to this position until dark.

It seemed that the Japanese army couldn't beat them all. They retreated one level and rushed up again.

However, Qiu Shichang, who had fought the Japanese army many times, could clearly feel that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was not as good as before.

The Japanese soldiers in the past were accurate in marksmanship, rich in combat experience, and they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner.

When the national army fought against them, the casualties they paid were often disproportionate.

But now, Qiu Shichang persisted until the third day with only one company!
The Japanese army retreated.

The national army is slowly getting stronger!

"Where's the cannon? Where's my cannon?"

Hearing that the sound of the mortars behind him disappeared, Qiu Shichang yelled angrily.

"It's gone, it's gone." Geng Liying said desperately: "The mortar platoon is gone."

Qiu Shichang was stunned, and gritted his teeth: "Machine gun, machine gun! Hit, hit! Stand firm until eight o'clock at night. This is a death order issued by the teacher himself!"

……

"what time is it?"

"It's four o'clock."

"Oh, really?" Hu Lian was in a daze: "It's only 5 o'clock."

5 points!
Can the 7th company still hold on?
"Report, the 7th company's communication has been interrupted!"

"Continue to communicate!"

Hu Lian turned around sharply: "Qiu Shichang is a fierce general, if I ask him to persist until 8 o'clock, he will definitely be able to persist until 8 o'clock!"

……

"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander!"

Geng Liying cried and cried.

Qiu Shichang was hit by four bullets.

He panted heavily: "Did the little devil fight back?"

"Repulsed, repelled. Medics, medics!"

No one answered him.

Medics, all dead!
"No need to call, I, I can't do it..."

Qiu Shichang knew very well that he couldn't do it: "Geng Liying, from now on, you act as the battalion commander. Remember, stick to it until 8 o'clock in the evening, and bring the brothers... back, take them back..."

"Take it back, take it back!"

Geng Liying nodded desperately.

Qiu Shichang's eyes were slack, and he took a last look at the position that he and his brothers had held on to for three days.

He was not reconciled.

But he couldn't get up again.

Until his death, Qiu Shichang's eyes were wide open.

"The devil is coming up, the devil is coming up!"

Geng Liying wiped away tears: "Brothers, fight with the little devil!"

Qiu Shichang, commander of the 11rd Battalion of the 31st Regiment of the 3th Division.

On May 1943, 5, died in Nanlinpo.

was 27 years old.

This is one of the soldiers who died in the Battle of the Stone Pai.

This is also the first battalion-level officer killed in battle after the Battle of Shipai.

He fulfilled his pre-war promise:

Live as a soldier, die as a soldier!
……

May 1943, 5 at 30:8 p.m.

With the arrival of the 13th Division and the 39th Division of the Japanese Army, in order to preserve the vitality, the German 7th Company was ordered to retreat for three days at the Nanlinpo position!

At this time, there were only more than 7 wounded soldiers left in the 30th company, and they walked down the hillside supporting each other.

The moonlight shone on their faces, and everyone's faces were covered with a layer of blood, and the clothes on their bodies had been burned to tatters and incomplete.

The mortar platoon had lost all casualties, and the machine gun platoon had only one man left.

When the 7th company withdrew, all the machine guns were brought with it, and none were left for the Japanese army.

The highest officer of the whole company, squad leader Geng Liying.

Before receiving the order to retreat, the 7th company did not take a step back in three days with a company of troops!
The name of a hero lasts forever!
Just yesterday, Hu Lianhu, commander of the 11th Division, issued an order to the soldiers:

"From tomorrow onwards, we will fight hand to hand with the enemy... Fight to the last one, bury the dead bones of the enemy here, and write our names and flesh and blood on the rock of the stone tablet."

On the same day, large Japanese troops began to attack our two positions at Niuchangpo and Zhujiaping.

These two positions are both high mountains and canyons. Although the Japanese army is stronger than our army, under this terrain, the Japanese army cannot break through for a while.

The next day, the Japanese army dispatched planes for low-altitude support, and our defenders resisted desperately. In the end, more than half of the defenders suffered casualties and were unable to fight any more, so they withdrew from the battlefield.Zhujiaping was captured by the enemy.

At the same time, the Japanese army also sent a large force to attack the right-wing position guarded by the 18th Division, Niuniu Ridge.

Luo Guangwen, the commander of the 18th Division, came to the front line and directly commanded the troops.

Luo Guangwen's fighting style was already iron-blooded and ruthless. His personal command made the soldiers of the whole division more brave.

……

"Good, good, good."

Hu Lian said three "good" words: "It's good that the 7th company is withdrawn. As long as there is one person left in the whole company, it can be rebuilt after the war!"

Meng Shaoyuan immediately interjected: "Sir, I propose to inform all officers and soldiers of the 7th company's deeds of defending Nanlinpo, so as to inspire the determination of the soldiers to fight to the end!"

"That's a good way."

Before Hu Lian opened his mouth, Wang Naichao said, "This will surely make my entire division and soldiers never retreat!"

"Well, do it."

Hu Lian thought about it for a while: "Please give credit to all the soldiers of the 7th Company, and let Qiu Shichang come to see me by car immediately after resting."

Wang Naichao and Meng Shaoyuan glanced at each other: "Master, Qiu Shichang, died in battle."

"what?"

Hu Lian was startled, then sat down slowly.

After a long time, he murmured: "In the battle of Nanlinpo, one of my generals was lost, one of my generals was lost! The Japanese invaders and I have a bitter feud!"

"As evidenced by Qingshan, the blood of our soldiers will not be shed in vain. The name of our 11th Division and all the martyrs will last forever!"

Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice: "The stone tablet will become the burial place of the Japanese invaders!"
