The security regiment retreated to Erdaopo, and the 178th Division also returned to the south of Changzhi to rest and recuperate. The Japs also occupied Licheng and Lucheng, which was left behind by the Sichuan army's shrinking defenses.

An army that dares to fight and fight is naturally loved by others! In addition, the army has strict discipline and does no harm to the people, so it will be even more loved by the people!

When the 178th Division evacuated Dongyang Pass, many wounded soldiers fell behind! The local people walked out of their homes at dawn. When they saw the injured soldiers, they would take the initiative to hide them for treatment and give them water and meals.

wrap the wound.

A villager named Li Wei went up the mountain to collect shell casings and found a soldier who was still alive, so he carried him to a kiln on the mountain and placed him there.

The soldier was only sixteen years old. A big hole was blown in his leg by a bomb and he could not move. Li Wei secretly brought him soup noodles to eat every day. The soldier survived, but after more than 20 days he was still unable to get out of bed.

"Uncle, don't deliver food tomorrow. I know my brother is dead too, and I will never be able to return to Sichuan in this life." This soldier was the one who had eaten three meals of meat. His brother, the company commander, died in the battle!

Li Wei didn't think much about it, so he casually comforted Xiao Bing and left. Unexpectedly, when he went up the mountain to deliver food the next day, he found that Xiao Bing had tied a brick with a leggings, tied a knot around his neck, and had committed suicide.

"How did I know at that time that he would be so strong-willed and that he would die if he could not return home?" Li Wei regretted not noticing it earlier. Every time he talked about this incident to his family in the future, he always felt emotional and guilty.

And this is a soldier of the Sichuan Army, one of the Sichuan Army soldiers who dares to fight fiercely! (Real incident)

In the Battle of Dongyangguan, more than 2,000 people were killed in the 178th Division, including two battalion commanders, five company commanders, and seven platoon commanders. Among them, only more than 100 people whose names can be confirmed are only more than 100 ordinary soldiers.

I couldn't even leave my name.

These ordinary soldiers may be remembered by others, or they may become numbers in books, or there may be no information about their existence at all...

However, they have a common name-Sichuan Army!

There is also a greater title-unsung hero!

The words of a certain big shot seem to be verifying, but can these countless nameless Yue Wumu create the Yue Wumu of the Chinese nation?

unknown!

After a day of silence in Changzhi, the Japs finally began to attack Beicheng!

In fact, the little Japanese were also very tired and needed to rest and regroup, replenish some of their troops and divide them to garrison in Licheng and Lucheng, which delayed them for a whole day.

When the little devils are assembled, they will naturally launch an attack on Changzhi City! The first step of the attack is naturally artillery bombardment!

"boom……"

As a violent explosion sounded on the north wall, the Japanese attack began!

Of course, Changzhi City is an important town in the north, the central city of the Shangdang Basin, and a strategic location for military strategists since ancient times. Its city walls are high, thick, and very strong! The little devil's mountain cannon shells hit the city wall and exploded some bricks and stones.

The fragments did not cause much damage.

In fact, this place is much stronger than Baoshan City! There are naval guns and shells in Baoshan City, and their power is simply not comparable to that of mountain cannons!

After an hour-long bombing, the Japs began to attack the city!

The front of the city gate is naturally the focus of the attack. If you take down the city gate, the city wall will not matter!

However, there were so many people defending the city gate! The little Japs attacked several times but were beaten back! Especially when they hit the city gate, there would always be a large number of grenades thrown down as if they were free, but they were still powerful.

It’s quite big! Would you say it’s irritating or not?

Of course, even if the Japs arrived at the city gate, there seemed to be nothing they could do about it! Just like Baoshan City, Brigadier Li Keyuan, who defended Changzhi, did not wait for the Japs to come and directly blocked the four city gates!

Little devil, come on! I'll fight you to the death when I come!

At this time, there were still many ordinary people in Changzhi City! Just like in Xiangtangpu, no matter how much the Sichuan army mobilized, there were still ordinary people who were unwilling to leave their homes to escape the war.

The little Japs have been attacking Beicheng this time, and all kinds of methods have been used to no avail! Even if there were Japs carrying ladders to the city wall, they were quickly overthrown or blown up by the defenders. In this world

The Sichuan Army is much better off. At least they have an extra 100,000 grenades, so the soldiers can throw more!

However, the entanglement of the artillery fire still existed, and the little devils became much smarter and focused their artillery fire on a section of the city wall, finally blasting a section of the city wall around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

The swarming Japs were stubbornly blocked by a battalion of defenders. However, the gap in weapons and the disadvantage in numbers immediately became apparent after the city wall was gone. Until the battalion threw all the grenades and shot down the Suining-made rifles.

The shell got stuck, and even after fighting with the Japs with bayonets and killing them all, they still couldn't stop the Japs' attack!

Subsequently, the Japanese occupied the North Gate, and the Sichuan army was repulsed twice in counterattack. The Japanese completely occupied the North City and used this opportunity to attack the city!

If this situation were applied to other troops, it would be impossible to say that they would collapse! For example, in the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese just created an encirclement and the entire army collapsed...

However, the Sichuan army didn't know how! They started street fighting with the Japanese, hand-to-hand combat! They refused to retreat until they died!

How brave is the Sichuan army?

A pair of father and son soldiers were surrounded by Japanese soldiers, who ordered the father and son to surrender!

As a result, the father shot his own son to death, and then fired the grenade on his body...

Swear to the death and not be a slave to the subjugated country! These slogans spoken by literati are interpreted by ordinary soldiers of the Sichuan Army...

In the supply office of the Jindong region of the Munitions Administration, in the evening, Adjutant Guo listened to the sound of gunfire outside, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Brothers! Do you hate me?" Adjutant Guo turned around and looked at a platoon of heavy baggage soldiers following him and said.

"No hate!" the soldiers replied in unison.

"We had many opportunities to leave here! We are from the Munitions Administration, and no one here can order us! However, I took the initiative to stay and guard this warehouse!"

"Although everything in this warehouse has been distributed to the combat soldiers, there is no point in staying here! But I still have to stay here! Do you know why?"

"I don't know! We only know that the commander is good to us, the military pay is sufficient, and we can eat every meal! With such a commander, we are willing to die!" shouted a thin soldier.

"Alas... I just gave you a lot of what I deserve! You don't have to swear to follow me to the death! There is still time, if you want to survive, go out of the city!"

"We're not going out!"

"So... brothers, I, old Guo, died for my country! We retreated too much! I don't want to retreat, so I plan to die for my country here! I didn't expect that my old Guo would have a group of brothers following him before he died! It's worth it!"
