(TV series "The Hero Out of the River")
After five or six hours of fierce fighting in the morning, the defenders of Fujian County repelled the enemy who attacked on both sides. The enemy was frustrated by the offensive, so the attack was temporarily suspended, and the defenders also took advantage of this gap to adjust their defensive deployment.
Wang Mingzhang has sent two reports to the headquarters for help in the morning, but has not received a reply. At the same time, the brigade commander Lü Kang once heard a thick and continuous sound of gunfire coming from the Nansha River at the head of the city, and he knew that the friendly troops had arrived, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but soon the sound of gunfire gradually became thinner and even more invisible. He felt bad, so he hurriedly reported the situation to Wang Mingzhang.
The actual situation was that Tang Enbo's army had arrived in Lincheng on the 15th and 16th, and a regiment of its vanguard Wang Zhonglian's army had just disembarked from the train, and Sun Zhen ordered him to go to the rescue in time because of the urgent situation in the county seat of Tengxian County. Unexpectedly, as soon as the regiment arrived at the Nansha River, it encountered an enemy army besieging TengXian County, and the enemy launched an attack with tanks as the precursor, and the enemy and we launched a fierce battle. This is the reason why Lu Kang heard the sound of gunfire, and as for the sound of gunfire gradually disappearing, it was because the regiment had no longer collapsed.
Except for the retreating troops, the rest of the Wang army only carried out vigilance tasks at the southern end of the Nansha River, and did not dare to advance from the frontal attack. Later, Wang Zhonglian came to Lincheng with his military headquarters, and when he heard that Tengxian was being attacked by a powerful enemy, he used the excuse of "mobile operation" to take all his troops to the mountains northeast of Tengxian County.
As soon as Wang Jun left, at the southern end of the Nansha River and even lincheng, only the pistol company used by Sun Zhen's group army for guarding the headquarters was left. The enemy of the Nansha River advanced all the way south, and a small pistol company could not resist at all, so the headquarters of the group army was forced to retreat to the south bank of the canal, causing them to lose contact with the defenders of Teng County.
Unable to contact the headquarters of the group army, Wang Mingzhang did not know the relevant specific circumstances, but like the generals, he clearly understood what kind of desperate situation Tengxian was facing, and he also strengthened his determination to coexist and die with Tengxian. He ordered Zhao Weibin, chief of staff, to draft a telegram to Sun Zhen, expressing "determination to fight to the death to repay the country and the situation." Most of the other wording of the telegram came from Zhao Weibin, who wrote very well, saying everyone's heartfelt words, and even Lu Kang even praised it after reading it: "Admiration! admiration! ”
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the fighting resumed, but the focus of the enemy's attack had shifted from dongcheng to Nanguan and Nancheng. The enemy artillery position suddenly bombarded Nanguan and the southern city wall with twelve howitzers, and another twenty or thirty enemy planes concentrated on bombing Nanguan. Nanguan was originally a weak part of tengxian's defense system, and the two companies guarding here were the headquarters of the Zeng Suyuan Brigade, and they had just rushed back to the county town around midnight, and they only had time to build simple fortifications and shelters, so that in a very short period of time, more than half of the officers and men were killed and injured. The remnants of the troops could not survive at Nanguan and were forced to move to the vicinity of Xiguan Station.
The enemy artillery bombarded for more than an hour, so that the southern city wall was almost flattened and made it climbable everywhere. The Cai Po battalion was responsible for defending the southern city, and they had a plan for anti-artillery and air raids, that is, when the enemy artillery bombarded or the enemy aircraft hovered and dropped bombs and strafed over the city, they retreated along the ladder or road to the air raid shelter at the foot of the city wall, leaving only a few lookout posts on the city wall, and when the enemy charged and climbed the city, they quickly entered the city to fight. However, because the enemy's heavy artillery bombardment came very suddenly, most of the officers and men did not have time to hide, and as a result, the casualties were heavy, and the flesh and blood of the soldiers on the city wall were intertwined with bricks and stones, and they flew across the sky, and the scene was particularly tragic and terrible.
