The 181st Battle of Huyang Town (3)

The commander of the first company, seeing that he had already reached the enemy, shouted: "Grenades," and suddenly a row of grenades was thrown over. Although it was far away, it was thrown on the ground again, and it did not kill a single enemy, but a row of smoke rose up, blocking the little devil's view for the time being.

"Charge-" The company commander roared, and immediately jumped up first and rushed towards the Japanese position in the smoke.

In front of the first company commander, several Japanese soldiers also raised their bayonets, and the first company commander was undaunted, bravely and decisively rushed forward, and fought with them with bayonets.

The whole position resounded with the sound of ping-pong bayonet strikes, the roar of stabbing and the wail before death, and the soldiers of the first company, although they bravely killed the enemy, they still could not break through the enemy's desperate block.

At this moment, a Japanese squad came up with reinforcements. And our second company originally wanted to reinforce, but the enemy's fire was intensified, and the crazy bullets were blocking the reinforcements of the follow-up troops. As soon as the company commander saw it, if he continued to fight, his company was all lying here, and he couldn't break through this opening, so he had to shout: "Retreat!" Then he fought all the way and retreated.

When attacking, it was a whole company, and when it came back, there were still fifty or sixty people, and a dozen wounded. They also did not die in vain, killing dozens of enemies.

Han Shengtao's face was gloomy, and he said to the commander of the first company: "You guys take a rest first, cover the attack of the second company, and then the second company will attack." ”

The commander of the first company felt that he did not break out of his mouth, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, and said to Han Shengtao: "Otherwise, let's strike again." ”

Han Shengtao said to him: "You have done your best, rest for a while, it is not over." More brutal battles are to come. ”

Han Shengtao organized a second consecutive assault, and it was still the same tactic. First of all, under the cover of fire, the second company jumped over the danger zone with a crawling advance, threw grenades in front of the enemy's position, and then broke through to fight the enemy with bayonets.

The Second Company did not break through this time, and killed dozens of enemies desperately, and when they finally retreated, there were only fifty or sixty people left.

The third company also made a surprise attack, but still did not break through.

Han Shengtao was a little anxious, and he said to the three company commanders: "The battle must be resolved by tomorrow morning." If there is no rain tomorrow for enemy aircraft to bomb, if enemy reinforcements arrive, this battle will be difficult to fight. Success or failure is here, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. ”

The three company commanders all looked at Han Shengtao's face. The commander of the first company said: "Okay, attack again, and we will fight with the enemy." The commander of the second and third companies also said: "I fought with the enemy." ”

Han Shengtao said to the three company commanders: "Then we will organize a death squad, with me as the captain, the deputy battalion commander as the deputy captain, and the company commander, platoon commander, and squad leader as the team members." One machine gun, 600 rounds of ammunition, 4 grenades per person. If we can't rush in this time, we won't come back, and we will die with the Japanese devils! ”

Han Xing wasted no time in saying to them: "We will also participate in this operation and join the death squad. I saw that the Japanese army was almost exhausted, and it was almost the last strength. However, I would like to make one more suggestion, that is, the remaining troops of the 3rd Battalion feinted from the south, while the death squads changed direction and entered the village from a place where the enemy was unprepared. ”

Han Shengtao nodded and said, "I agree." ”

There is another sentence that Han Xing did not say, that is, he saw that Han Shengtao's tactics were also a little problematic, that is, a little bit of refueling tactics, adding to it little by little, so that the enemy was concentrating superior forces to attack our few troops. If you had concentrated three companies in one go, you might have already broken through.

But this sentence cannot be said, and it cannot discourage them.

Han Shengtao said with a gloomy face: "Okay, the Southern Expeditionary Army and we will jointly organize a death squad, I repeat it again, if we can't attack this time, we won't meet with anyone, and if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent." Let's start preparing and start in 20 minutes. ”

At this time, the common people near Huyang Town braved the enemy's artillery fire and came in groups. Some of them held steamed steamed buns, some held boiled eggs, and some held their own steamed vegetable buns to comfort the Chinese army. The local government is also organizing some people to carry the wounded and care for the wounded.

The support of the people has greatly boosted the morale of the officers and men. Some soldiers said: "If you are wounded, someone will carry you, and if you die, you will be buried, and we will be happy enough." If we don't work hard, I'm sorry for these people! Some said: "We must not allow this group of enemies to harm the common people again, and we must resolutely destroy this group of enemies." ”

The death squad was organized, all of them were cadres of some battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, and it seemed that the 3rd Battalion was just over the corner and used all its belongings. Each person in front of him had a light machine gun and 600 rounds of ammunition, all of which were hung on his body, which was really the same as a bullet man. With a grenade hanging on the buttocks, it's really fully armed.

There were no light machine guns, and the rifles were also fully loaded with bullets and were covered with grenades. Once you are injured, then come to the center to bloom and die with the little devil.

They all wrote desperate letters one by one and arranged the aftermath, but they really couldn't enter the village, and if they couldn't destroy this group of enemies, they wouldn't come back.

Han Xing discussed with Zhang Xiaosan and decided to send a company of the guard battalion out as a death squad. The fighters of the guard battalion do not need to be selected, they are all competent daredevils.

On the issue of who led the team, Han Xing had another dispute with Zhang Xiaosan. Han Xing said: "The death squad is still led by me!" ”

Zhang Xiaosan was anxious when he heard this, don't look at it, he would never dare to talk back to Han Xing on other issues, but on this issue, he still has a very principled position. "Commander Han, don't you believe me, the commander of the guard battalion? Once the troops rushed into the village, they were basically fighting alone, who commanded whom? Besides, Commander Han, I didn't say anything about your command ability, but when it comes to individual combat ability, you can't compete with an ordinary soldier of ours. ”

As soon as he heard this, Han Xing was in a hurry, don't hit people in the face, don't expose people, Han Xing thinks that he has practiced three-legged cat kung fu, what's the matter, according to Zhang Xiaosan, he has become a waste.

Han Xing said stubbornly: "The more you say this, the more I have to lead the team personally." ”

Zhang Xiaosan begged and said to Han Xing again: "Commander Han, don't make trouble for us, okay." If you are not there, the officers and soldiers can still let go of their bodies to fight, if you are, not only will they not be able to help us fight, but there will be more than a dozen people to protect you. Last time, during the battle of the New Wall River, you risked defending the New Wall River, and Commander Zhang almost shot me dead. It's not a pity that I'm dead, but who will command the Southern Expeditionary Army? Could it be that you can't let Commander Zhang shoot me again? ”

Zhang Xiaosan's words moved Han Xing, and after thinking about it, Zhang Xiaosan said it quite reasonably, so he had no choice but to stop being reluctant. Han Xing had no choice but to say to him: "Battalion Commander Zhang, you must be cautious with a company, I hope that the fewer casualties the better, and the more enemies you kill, the better." ”

Zhang Xiaosan was happy for a while when he saw that Han Xing no longer asked to bring the death squad. As for Han Xing's statement that the casualties are as small as possible, and the more enemies killed, the better, he doesn't care about Han Xing. However, he thinks that what Han Xing said is not reliable at all, and it is very contradictory.

The final offensive began, and the remaining troops of the 3rd Battalion launched an attack from the south to the village to the north. At this time, the 2nd Battalion also launched an attack on the devils in the north of Wangzhuang, and the sound of gunfire became more and more intense, mixed with bursts of shouts and killings, the sound of bayonets of soldiers on both sides, and the wails of people before death.

The 3rd Battalion was still the same old tactic, with fire cover, the infantry crawled forward, jumped over the danger zone, and then threw grenades, stood up and charged the enemy.

The Japanese army still used the old method, with limited forces to block the attacking Chinese army. However, the death squad led by Han Shengtao and Zhang Xiaosan suddenly broke through from the southeast of the weakly defended village of the enemy and entered the village. After they entered the village, they didn't fight with the devils with bayonets at all, as long as the devils were found in front, it was a strong machine gun "Sudden ......"

Most of the devil's forces were defending against a frontal attack, and the flank was suddenly killed by the Chinese army, and the frontal defense certainly caused panic. In the panic of the enemy, some of the daredevils had already rushed behind them, only to see that these people were red-eyed, not to say a word, as long as they saw the Japanese soldiers in yellow uniforms, it was a machine gun greeting.

As soon as Han Xing saw that the opportunity had come, he didn't rush at this time, let alone when, and shouted: "Second and third companies will rush to me-" and he would personally rush to the front. The second company commander was in a hurry, if Commander Han injured a hair, that crazy Zhang Xiaosan would still be able to spare me.

His legs and feet were fast, leading more than a dozen soldiers, and he immediately rushed in front of Han Xing, blocking Han Xing's bullets. The platoon commanders looked at it, the company commander is like this, and our lives can still be worth as much as the company commander!? So it's also a desperate rush forward. The squad leaders saw that they couldn't let the platoon commander rush to the front, they should die first! With an assault rifle, he rushed up.

Those who are officials are not afraid of death, and those who are soldiers are even more desperate for their lives, coupled with excellent military technology and advanced weapons, it is really as unstoppable as a tiger descending from a mountain. The frontal charging troops also broke through the enemy's positions at once and broke through the village.

Once they broke through the village, it was difficult for the Japanese to organize an effective defense, and it became a stubborn resistance of a small group of enemies. This Wangzhuang is a village that has not been renovated, and it is not a fortress battle village. The devil has also just entered the village, and he is not familiar with the situation, anyway, both sides are alive, so it depends on who has the highest fighting quality.

Li Dazhong took his platoon, and as soon as he entered the village, he shouted: "Go to the room, go to the room, occupy the commanding heights." His theory was that this ordinary small village, as long as it occupied the commanding heights of the houses, could control the streets, and as long as it controlled the streets, it could divide and surround the enemy, and annihilate them individually.
