A Dream of Jinling Chapter 313 Solving the Cow (26)

Next chapter

"Are you sure? The Americans retreated on both fronts? The deputy head of the regiment shouted almost loudly into the phone.

Everyone in the entire regiment headquarters waited with bated breath for the call of the deputy regiment commander, and the regiment commander Hu Xingzhi forcibly asked himself not to stare at the deputy regiment commander, he wanted to make himself look a little general-like, and he could read the text calmly. This is what he heard from Hu Chenghe, the ancestor who followed Wei Zedudu. No matter how fierce the battle situation is, no matter how the situation is beyond the imagination of the headquarters, Wei Zedu Governor has always been calm, as long as he should not speak, Wei Zedu Du Du Governor either looks at the text or looks at the map. Seeing that Governor Wei Zedu was so calm, those founding generals would always feel stable, and they would not be so urgent to do things.

But no matter how Hu Xingzhi asked himself, he found that he couldn't do such a thing at all. His eyes could not look at the deputy head who was answering the phone, but Hu Xingzhi's attention was on his ears. For every voice that came from the deputy head of the regiment did not let go. Because his attention was so focused, Hu Xingzhi even wondered if his ears had suddenly grown a little longer at this time.

"Hmmm! Well! There was joy in the voice of the deputy head of the regiment, "Uh-huh! Uh-huh! If you make sure again, I'll tell the head of the regiment right away. ”

Hearing the conversation that was about to hang up the phone, Hu Xingzhi immediately raised his head and looked at the deputy head of the regiment with some stiffness. The deputy regiment commander was full of joy, and he said quickly in an extremely happy voice: "Regiment commander, the third battalion adopts the tactic of outflanking, first let a small detachment go around the enemy's back, and launch an attack from behind the American flank when the Americans and us are deadlocked, disrupting the American ranks. The frontal troops crushed the Americans on land in one fell swoop with bayonet battles. The Yankees who had come up from the waterway saw that something was wrong and had already retreated. ”

Without waiting for Hu Xingzhi to speak, the regimental staff officer immediately asked, "Did the third battalion pursue?" ”

"Uh......" The deputy head of the regiment obviously did not hear the report on this issue, and he himself pondered for a moment before saying, "Probably not!" ”

"Alas...... what a pity!" The regimental staff officer couldn't help but sigh.

As far as he knew, only three battalions of the 24th Army were carrying out the task of attacking on the entire front at this time, and all the other troops were defending against the attack launched by the Yankees at night. The situation of the defensive forces was relatively easy, and even if the battle line was thin, night fighting was very beneficial to the defending side. The battle lines between the various units are well connected, and under the cover of friendly forces, there is no need to worry about the Yankee infiltration of the various units so far have not encountered any major problems.

However, the attacking 3rd Battalion had clearly been dealt with by the enemy, and it appeared from the news received in the past hour that, in addition to being in trouble in frontal combat, the Yankees had taken advantage of their familiarity with the local hydrology to send a force from behind to land on the shore of the lake behind the 3rd Battalion.

It just so happened that the third battalion was in a state of offensive disadvantage, and was surrounded by several times the number of American troops in front and behind, and fell into danger. The Liberation Army, which adopted the three-three system, had many advantages, but compared with those troops under the four-four system, the three battalions of the Liberation Army were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.

Hu Xingzhi stood up and asked in a hoarse voice, "Really defeated the siege of the United States?" ”

"Yes!" The deputy head of the regiment was very excited. In the past hour, the regimental headquarters did not dare to immediately send aid troops. According to the Third Battalion, the Yankees participated in the siege of about a thousand troops. The Liberation Army now has only 1,000 people in a regiment. It was not that there was no immediate dispatch of troops to rescue Jian Yì in the regiment headquarters, but the regiment commander Hu Xingzhi said, "Will the enemy take further action?" "It made the commanders lose the courage to send troops immediately.

If the siege of the third battalion was just a feint, once the regiment drew troops from the already weak defense line to the rescue, would a US federal army that had been in ambush for a long time suddenly come out? The 24th Army's front was able to remain intact at this time, relying on the effective coordination between the various units, and if the units knew that the enemy was no longer friendly but enemy behind them and on the flanks, this defensive system would only be in danger in an instant.

In the next less than an hour, Hu Xingzhi and the regiment headquarters spent their time in incomparable suffering. Now that the crisis has finally passed, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well done the three battalions!" Hu Xingzhi almost sat down in the military chair. Even in such an embarrassing situation, the third battalion was able to break through the enemy and win the victory. This news not only did not make Hu Xingzhi jump up excitedly, but completely drained Hu Xingzhi's energy.

"Regiment Commander," the deputy regiment commander put away his smile, "the third battalion said that they suffered heavy losses, and the whole battalion suffered more than 100 casualties. Even the deputy battalion commander was sacrificed. Do you want to take them down first? ”

Hu Xingzhi only thought about it for a moment and replied, "No! ”

"Why?" The deputy head of the regiment was puzzled.

"The third battalion can no longer take on offensive tasks, but they cannot be withdrawn to rest. Let them be regrouped on the spot and take charge of the flanks of the defense forces. As soon as the morning dawns, let them defend themselves by the lake. Hu Xingzhi replied very seriously, and the deputy head of the regiment was stunned and couldn't even speak.

After a long while, the deputy regiment commander said: "Regiment commander, this ......, I really can't say this to the third battalion." ”

"You can't tell, I'll call them." Hu Xingzhi had already recovered his energy, he stood up and said to the telephone operator, "Take over the battalion headquarters of the third battalion." ”

The deputy regiment commander felt a little relieved in his heart, the third battalion had basically had no special rest since they got on the train yesterday morning, and by this time they had probably been tossing for 24 hours. After such a fierce battle, we must not rest but continue to fight. The deputy regiment commander really did not have the courage to give such an order to the commander of the third battalion. The head of the regiment, Hu Xingzhi, personally gave the order, and the deputy head felt really relaxed.

"Hey! Is it the commander of the third battalion? I'm Hu Xingzhi. The deputy head of the regiment listened to the head of the regiment and answered the phone, and the last bit of worry disappeared. He even suspected that the commander of the third battalion had not been able to answer the phone at this time, and he was afraid that the deputy regiment commander would have to make this call after a while.

"How many troops have you saved? Oh? Less than two companies? I now order you to immediately reorganize the troops into two companies, and if there are really not enough people, then to reorganize them into a reinforced company. As soon as your troops are reorganized, you occupy the enemy's positions and take up the task of defending the flanks of the front. The head of the regiment, Hu Xingzhi's tone was very blunt, and he had a very businesslike taste.

Some voices came from the microphone, although the deputy regiment commander couldn't hear what the person on the other side of the phone said, but he could hear that the third battalion commander on the other side was quite excited! It is easy to imagine that after such a fierce battle, less than half of the troops of the third battalion were left, and it was too much to continue to defend such a large area by a reinforced company.

After Hu Xingzhi listened for a while, his voice became extremely stern, "Third battalion commander, I know your suffering. I'm going to send you two platoons right now, so that you can replenish the strength of two companies. I don't have time to explain that much, I can only sue you. The battle needs to be defended, and you must obey orders! ”
