Chapter 52: A Request for Support
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! "It's not a miss. Pulling the trigger and pulling the gun is not the slightest bit muddy and watery. Soon, the five bullets in the chamber were finished, and Lin Xincheng skillfully filled the bullets again and continued to shoot.
The enemy panicked. The sharpshooter who suddenly appeared behind caused personnel losses and huge psychological pressure to this group of Japanese soldiers in a very short period of time, and the opponent in front of him took the opportunity to attack fiercely, but the devil could not withstand the attack from both sides, leaving more than a dozen corpses and fleeing quickly.
Feng Wenying was a little surprised to see Lin Xincheng holding a gun, but he didn't have too many greetings, and after nodding his head to express his gratitude, he led the troops into battle again.
By the time the devils who had chased them into the cornfields had finally escaped with great effort, they had already lost more than half of their men. Ren Laifeng, who had been waiting on the cliff for a long time, led the officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion to open fire decisively and condescendingly shot at the devils. Twenty minutes later, most of the Japanese troops who had rushed forward were killed, except for a few who escaped.
The Flying Tiger Battalion has won a complete victory in this battle! However, this victory was only the beginning of the great battle, and the final outcome remains a mystery.
After Ren Laifeng led the Flying Tiger Battalion to victory, he was cleaning up the battlefield, and the follow-up troops of the devil came up. This time it was a fully manned infantry brigade of the Japanese army! Thousands of devils came with murderous energy. After Ren Laifeng received the scout's report, he immediately ordered the troops who were cleaning the battlefield to stop what they were doing, and everyone returned to their original posts to prepare for battle!
Among them, it is worth mentioning that the artillery company of the Flying Tiger Battalion did not participate in cleaning the battlefield, and they were preparing for the battle in a hidden place behind the cornfield. The commander of the artillery company is a fresh graduate of the Artillery Department of the Central Military Academy introduced by Lin Xincheng, and his name is Cai Gaofeng.
According to the usual practice, the students who have just graduated from the Central Military Academy are all midship-trainee second lieutenants in the first year of the army, but in the Flying Tiger Battalion, he is willing to give this newly graduated graduate of the artillery department a captain and company commander, who can stop him? After he reported Cai Gaofeng's information, Commander-in-Chief Sun agreed, and the cadre department issued a letter of appointment, and Cai Gaofeng naturally became the military commander of the artillery company of the Flying Tiger Battalion.
In the last battle, the devil's squadron drilled into the cornfield as soon as it came, and then the two armies fell into a stalemate, and Company Commander Cai didn't find the opportunity to play.
After receiving the report and knowing that another group of stronger enemies was coming, Cai Gaofeng knew that the opportunity to show himself had come! There was an observation post on the high side slope, and two observers, one with binoculars, observed the enemy's situation, and the other with a telephone to report the direction and position of the enemy.
"Fifteen degrees and thirty-one minutes east-north, distance, three thousand one hundred and sixty meters."
With the accurate report of the observer, Cai Gaofeng personally operated a 75-type mountain cannon. Adjusting the angle to the appropriate position, the commander waved the red flag and shouted: "Fire!" ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Six mountain cannons fired at the same time! Amid the loud sound and thick smoke that shook the eardrums, six disarmed shells flew towards the enemy at high speed!
"Reload, put!" After the first round of artillery fire, the commander gave the order for another shelling without stopping. After three consecutive shots, Cai Gaofeng ordered the troops to pack up the artillery and move immediately! The soldiers quickly hung the cannon on the back of the truck, and as soon as the driver stepped on the accelerator, the truck pulled the cannon and quickly left the position where they had just fought.
The artillery company had just left, and within five minutes, two shells fell on the spot where they had just been. This is a retaliatory shelling by the Devil Infantry Brigade.
The strength of the artillery company of the Flying Tiger Battalion has surpassed that of the Japanese artillery squad and reached the level of firepower of an artillery squadron. And the artillery squadron was the standard configuration of a wing in the Japanese army. Therefore, the existence of the artillery company has substantially improved the combat effectiveness of the Flying Tiger Battalion.
Ren Laifeng knew that he had an artillery company, but he didn't expect that the power of the artillery company would be so powerful and terrifying! Seeing that the ghost soldiers who were arrogant just now let the shells explode in a mess in an instant, Commander Ren was overjoyed, "Okay! Write it down, give the artillery company the first credit! ”
However, it was too early for Ren Laifeng to rejoice. Don't look like this devil brigade was accidentally bombarded by heavy artillery and suffered heavy losses. But as soon as our artillery battery was transferred, the devils immediately reorganized their formation and quickly launched an attack on our defensive positions!
Attack, as soon as it comes up, is at the squadron level. At first there was one squadron, and then two squadrons! The Devil Brigade had four infantry squadrons, and the two waves were divided into two echelons, the front and the rear. These two echelons took turns to attack our army, wave after wave without stopping for a moment.
Two squadrons at a time, Ren Laifeng took out all his strength to meet the battle, and it took the boss's strength to beat the devil down, and the next squadron came up again! Beat! Fight hard! So far, I can only fight with the devil!
"Report, new company requests for support!"
"Huang Tian, you take the guards to line up!" Ren Laifeng did not hesitate to send the only mobile force around him. Huang Tian hesitated, but he didn't have the courage to disobey on the battlefield. After explaining that Ren Laifeng should be careful, he rushed to the battlefield with the guard platoon and bullets.
"Report, the position of the new second company has been broken through, and Company Commander Feng has asked for reinforcements!"
Even Feng Wenying, who has always had a tough personality, had to support, which shows the difficulty and cruelty of this battle. There is no one around Ren Laifeng anymore, he is also the company commander of the third company, and he is commanding the troops to fight. But Feng Wenying's side couldn't help it.
"Call Gu Dafeng to me!" Gu Dafeng is the commander of the first company, the first and third companies are guarding the cliff, and he is the closest to the commander.
Ten minutes later, Gu Dafeng came running.
"Lao Gu, I'll take a platoon to support Wen Ying, and I'll hand it over to you for unified command here!" After Ren Laifeng finished speaking, he stood up and shouted: "Assemble in a row!" ”
Gu Dafeng stayed there as soon as he heard this. Unity of command? He commanded two companies in unison? Is this a promotion or what does it mean? Before he could react, the first row had already assembled.
The personnel of the first platoon of the third company were still relatively neat, and thirty-four of the thirty-six soldiers of the whole platoon came and stood in two rows of horizontal formations.
"Brothers, follow me now to reinforce the new second company. Let's go! ”
"Commander! Commander! As soon as Ren Laifeng took two steps out, someone called him behind him. Looking back, it was Gu Dafeng.
"What's the matter?"
"What if the devil hits me?" Gu Dafeng asked in a sneer.
"The devil hit? Hit them up, and then beat them down! Brethren, let's go! ”
