One hundred and fifty-seventh: counterattack on Nanchang
"Comrades; Since the defeat of Chongyang, we have tasted all the shames in the mortal world, such as spitting, ridicule, white eyes, and ridicule. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the husband saw the humiliation, and he was still able to draw his sword and rise, can we still stand the question of being a soldier"?
"I can't stand it!"
"So what to do"?
"Snow shame!"
"Snow shame"!
"We must understand that the country has reached the critical point of life and death, either victory or destruction, today we are going to start a large-scale battle with the enemy, I hope that everyone in the spirit of having the enemy without me, with the spirit of I am invincible, to charge into battle, to annihilate the enemy, we want to save the country and the nation, we want to wash away the shame of the defeat of Chongyang! Now is the great opportunity. I hope that all of you, in line with my intentions, will advance without retreating, and swear to complete the mission"!
"There is no enemy and there is no me, there is no enemy and I am invincible"!
On the evening of the 20th, the hundred-man team led by Lu Hai quietly touched the mountains and moved towards Fengxincheng and the surrounding strongholds. Similarly, the First Army, and indeed all the armies of the time, were ready to attack, and this was the first time that the Chinese army launched such a large-scale counterattack on the Sino-Japanese battlefield.
The 184th Division and the New 10th Division also arrived at the predetermined location, while Lu Daoyuan's new 11th Division was responsible for monitoring the Japanese troops in the Jing'an area. The 74th Army, also known as the Tiger Ben, mainly attacked Gao'an.
The night was getting deeper, but the large forces had already begun to assemble towards the designated place, just waiting for the order of the headquarters.
Similarly, after Lu Hai and the others touched a turret and annihilated more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in the turret, they continued to walk towards the next turret.
This time they were responsible for attacking the city, not for defense, Wan Baobang felt that it was better to let Lu Hai and them clear some obstacles first, which would be conducive to the rapid counterattack of the large army and slow down the reaction speed of the Japanese army.
Similarly, Wan Baobang's Krupp artillery was also distributed to all units of the First Army, and the 184th Division only had two, but fortunately, the new 10th Division had two mountain guns and a few. At this time, Wan Baobang's plan was to let Lu Hai and them find out the defense line of the Japanese army on the periphery of Fengxin, and clear what could be cleared, and mark the troops clearly if they could not be cleared.
That is to say, they are now the vanguard of the large army, at this time Lu Hai they have changed into Japanese military uniforms, although there is no Japanese translator, but Lu Hai also learned a few simple Japanese soldiers from Li Zheng, and he didn't dare to say that he was fooled, and it was enough to stay in the dark for a while.
After finishing a few turrets, I saw a road in front of me, and at the end of the road was Fengxincheng, and on both sides were dense hilly terrain.
"Go up the hill, take the road and expose it too fast"!
"Yes"!
After walking up the mountain for more than ten minutes, they suddenly found that on the opposite hill, a group of Japanese soldiers were lighting a fire and boiling water.
Lu Hai took out his binoculars and took a closer look and said: "It's a warning position, there is a squad, three light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and grenadiers"!
"With so many people, it is inevitable that the movement will not be too loud when you start your hands"!
"There should still be such a position, you send a few people out to touch and see, and find out what you are doing"!
"Yes"!
What followed was a long wait, and after half an hour, the soldiers came back to report that there was a Japanese early warning position three hundred meters to the left, which in the past should have been the defenders of the outer area of Fengxin.
"Xiao Hai, their two early warning positions are placed here, there are definitely large forces behind, if we attack rashly, it is very likely that we will expose ourselves"! Zhao Jianying suggested.
Lu Hai frowned and thought for a while: "Isn't there a gap between the positions of the two armies?" You take your brothers and plant grenades and explosives on the road they have to pass, and wait for 4 o'clock in the morning to attack this Japanese squad, and you and the rest of the people don't make any movement for the time being, if we make a noise, you make a feint, and the bigger the movement, the better!"
"Good"!
"Chen Liang, tell the brothers that you have to do it as a last resort...
"Pass it on, and try not to shoot unless you have to"! But it was Haizhizhi who sighed.
Lu Hai turned his head and glanced at Hai Zhizhi, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, and then he didn't say much, this wait was a few hours, until about four o'clock in the morning, and the Japanese soldiers also fell asleep in a daze.
Two soldiers with bows and crossbows quietly stepped forward and shot two Japanese sentries to death, and Lu Hai quietly touched the Japanese position as soon as he pressed everyone.
At this time, many Japanese soldiers were still asleep in the trenches, some back-to-back Japanese soldiers were quietly touched and directly wiped off their necks while they were still asleep, and some even held their mouths in their sleep, and the knife stabbed them straight to the heart.
Because of the clear division of labor, more than 20 Japanese soldiers were killed in just a few minutes. Then they came to the next trench.
The Japanese army had heard of it before, and even found signs that the Chinese army was going to launch a counteroffensive, but they were arrogant and did not pay attention to this news.
As everyone knows, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chinese army are all ready, preparing for the offensive at dawn.
Silent fighting to annihilate a Japanese squad is very risky, and there will always be a place where the neck of a Japanese soldier has been cut, and the blood gushing out is pouring into the throat, he can't shout, but he still fires a shot, even though this shot did not hurt anyone.
However, this gunshot was enough to wake up all the soldiers in the field, and it was also enough to send the message to the Japanese squad not far away. This squad, once fired, could alarm the large Japanese forces behind.
"Quick Fix!"
Lu Hai slashed a Japanese soldier who had just woken up to death, and then shouted and slashed at a Japanese squad leader who was about to draw a gun and shoot, and the arm of the Japanese squad leader was directly cut off with a single knife, and then another knife slashed his throat.
The gunfire alarmed the Japanese squad on the flank, and the first reaction of the squad was to shoot at the dark area below with a machine gun, and the same Japanese squad leader hurriedly ordered: "Flares"!
With the sharp sound of breaking the air and roaring, dawn arrived early, and everything on the opposite hill and under the hillside was suddenly revealed.
On the opposite hill, a soldier wearing a Japanese uniform was chasing and killing a soldier in the same uniform, while under the trees below the hillside was an ambush for dozens of them who were also wearing Japanese uniforms.
Almost simultaneously, gunfire rang out in the woods on both sides, shouts, machine guns and explosions.
The attention of the Japanese squad was suddenly attracted, and Lu Hai, who was also on the same side, quickly ate the remnants of this squad and said: "Set up mortars, one kilometer ahead, no need to test fire, and leave after three shots"!
"The rest come with me"!
Lu Hai then led the people on the trenches to attack the flank position of the Japanese squad, and under the blow of machine guns and grenadiers, the Japanese army's hasty defense line was blown apart, and everyone immediately rushed to the position and fought with the Japanese directly with bayonets.
At the same time, three 82 mortars were hastily erected and fired directly at a kilometer of darkness, but in the firelight, these shells fell on the Japanese positions on the opposite hillside. Some of the Japanese troops who had just become active were also blown up.
After firing three shots, Li Fan hurriedly ordered the mortars to be unloaded and hurriedly retreated, and a moment later, the sound of artillery on the Japanese position was deafening, and one shot followed by one bombarded almost the entire mountain.
However, while they were still on the way, the two Japanese squads stationed on the mountain had been completely annihilated by Lu Hai and them.
"How"? The positions of the artillerymen have all been written down, have they not"?
"Written down"! Li Fan said.
"Okay, the rest is the division commander's business, we are ready to retreat"!
"What's next"?
"Roundabout"!
"Yes, our soldiers are divided into three routes, Hai Zhizhi you lead one way, Zhao Jianying you lead one road, our three soldiers and horses attack them from three directions, they chase you and we will fight, they chase us and you will fight, and fight with you"!
"Good"!
The three of them took three platoons in the dense forest, took the initiative to avoid the Japanese artillery bombardment area, and touched the real defense line of the Japanese army.
With the light of the fire on the Japanese position, Lu Hai saw it clearly and said: "It turns out that the Japanese army is not without precautions, there is a wing of Japanese troops here who rely on the terrain to defend, and there are mostly mountains here, but Fengxin is open outside, there is no danger to defend, there is no support, and the casualties if you want to attack the city must be very large"!
"I don't believe it, a wing of little devils is waiting to block the strength of our two divisions"! Yang Decai was dissatisfied.
"You look at their terrain yourself, we are going to attack the high ground here in Fengxin is the first line of defense of the Japanese army, you look at the light and heavy machine guns, rifle guns, mortars or something, and those fortifications and pillboxes or something, we lack heavy firepower, what do you say"? Lu Hai said as he handed over the binoculars.
Following Lu Hai's guidance, Yang Decai really saw the situation in front of him clearly, and it was really a posture of being a husband and a wife, so he spoke: "What should I do?" That's a tough nut! ”
"Let's first find out the deployment of their troops and mark the firepower of the Japanese army"!
"Yes"!
"Li Fan aim at which 92-step gun on the side for me, shoot"!
Li Fan hurriedly put an artillery shell into the chamber of the cannon, and in the roar, a small-caliber mortar shell cut a line of fire in the night sky and smashed heavily on the 92-step gun.
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
A series of explosions sounded, and Lu Hai was overjoyed: "Advance two hundred meters forward"!
The crowd hurriedly pushed forward, and although many of the recruits did not understand in their hearts, they naturally had to listen to the order, and not long after they advanced, the Japanese carpet bombardment fell on the place where they had just laid an ambush, and the artillery fire continued to extend and shoot backwards.
Just as the Japanese artillery opened fire, a shell suddenly flew from the side hillside and exploded on the Japanese position, although this explosion did not kill the Japanese soldiers, but also successfully attracted the attention of the Japanese troops.
At this time, Lu Hai and the others also advanced to 200 meters and fired guns indiscriminately at the Japanese positions above, and mortars were also bombarding, making an attacking posture. (To be continued.) )
