Chapter 686: Begging for Retreat
General Dong heard the gunfire outside the Wangjiajia Temple becoming more and more intense, and suddenly pushed away the platoon commander Zhang who was blocking the door to protect him, and shouted loudly with a gun: "Platoon Commander Zhang, order the guard platoon to hold the Wangjiajia Temple and wait for reinforcements." ”
A squad of the Japanese Kato squadron, under the leadership of Qin Yinmao, the leader of the traitor secret detective, secretly infiltrated Wangjiazhuang, quickly surrounded the Wangjia Temple, and was discovered by the soldiers of the guards, and the two sides instantly launched a fierce gun battle.
Dong Zhengwei rushed out of the room and ordered all the personnel of the headquarters: "All departments should burn important confidential documents as quickly as possible, and immediately enter the battle to counterattack the Japanese attack. ”
He led the guard platoon to counterattack the attacking Japanese army with the help of concealment, and the strength and firepower of a platoon could not stop the strong attack of a small group of Japanese troops.
The soldiers of the 7th Corps of the Third Column of the Decisive Death deployed defenses around Wangjiazhuang to block the Japanese Kato squadron to attack, and cooperated with the 54th Regiment of the periphery to carry out fire strikes against the Japanese troops attacking from the periphery, but they did not find that a Japanese squad was like a group of devils sneaking into the village.
At this time, the 7th Commander of the Third Column of the Decisive Death Brigade, who was in charge of command, suddenly heard the fierce gunfire in the village, but did not pay attention to it, thinking that the reactionary forces lurking in the village took the opportunity to cause trouble, and were discovered by the guard platoon to carry out encirclement and suppression.
He ordered the troops to destroy the attacking Japanese squadron with maximum firepower, and must not let the little devils rush into the village and threaten the safety of the headquarters of the decisive third column.
Lei Yunfeng, who led the 13th Battalion of the 54th Regiment, was attacking and sneaking up on the Japanese Kato Squadron in Wangjiazhuang on the periphery, and found that this Japanese squadron could still stubbornly attack Wangjiazhuang under the condition of internal and external firepower, and had no intention of retreating.
He ordered Fang Shichao's 14th Battalion, which rushed to reinforce him, to quickly form an encirclement of Wangjiazhuang's periphery, and cooperate with the 13th Battalion to launch the most fierce attack on the encircled enemy, and he must destroy all the devils of this Kato squadron.
Suddenly increasing the strength of a battalion on the periphery of Wangjiazhuang and strengthening the attack on the Japanese army, Squadron Leader Kato did not expect to be ambushed by the three columns of decisive death, not only grabbed Li Xuanzhen, the deputy captain of the secret reconnaissance team beside him, and shouted angrily:
"Bastard, you pig, you report that there is only one 7th Brigade in the three columns of the decisive death living in Wangjiazhuang, and there are less than 300 people, but now the anti-Japanese forces that are blocking and attacking on the periphery in the village, let alone a 7th Corps? You're dead, you're dead. ”
With the sound of a gunshot from Squadron Leader Kato, Li Xuanzhen, the deputy captain of the traitor secret investigation team who betrayed the three columns of death, was like a dead dog, and was killed by a shot before he could scream.
Squadron Leader Kato saw that his squadron was being flanked by the 54th Regiment and the Third Column of Decisive Death, and the situation on the battlefield was very unfavorable to him, not only scolded the captain of the squad who led a squad into the village, but why he had not succeeded in sneaking up on the headquarters of the Third Column of Decisive Death until now.
At this moment, fierce gunfire suddenly sounded in the northeast of the village, and Squadron Leader Kato immediately realized that the Japanese squad that had infiltrated the village had successfully attacked the headquarters of the Third Column of Decisive Death, and would soon eliminate Dong Zhengwei of the Third Column of Decisive Death who fired the first shot in the ambush battle at Dongwuling.
Lei Yunfeng was commanding the 13th and 14th battalions of the 54th Regiment to attack the Kato squadron that was being pinned inside and outside with the greatest firepower.
He immediately concluded that the Japanese army had broken through the blocking position set up by the Third Column of Decisive Death in the village, and that a part of the Japanese troops surrounded the Wangjiamiao, and that the guard platoon of the headquarters of the Third Column was carrying out a fire counterattack under the leadership of General Dong at this time.
This unexpected situation frightened Lei Yunfeng and ordered: "Deputy Commander Hou led the 13th and 14th battalions to destroy the surrounded Kato squadron with the heaviest fire on the periphery, and the assault team broke through the Japanese defense line with me and entered the village to rescue General Dong."
Hou Sheng ordered the machine gun company to suppress the enemy's counterattack with maximum firepower, and cover the assault team to break through the enemy's fire line and rush into the village to carry reinforcements.
Under the cover of the strong firepower of the 54th Regiment on the periphery, Lei Yunfeng led the assault team to break through the Japanese fire defense line and reinforce Wangjiamiao at the fastest speed.
Dong Zhengwei led the guard platoon and the personnel of the headquarters to retreat into the compound of the Wangjiamiao by the devil fire of a Japanese team, and at this time they were continuously attacked by the Japanese team, and the situation was extremely unfavorable.
Platoon Commander Zhang of the guard platoon climbed to General Dong in front of the enemy's flying bullets and shouted: "Dong Zhengwei, a small squad of the Japanese army has surrounded the Wangjiamiao, if the reinforcements cannot arrive in time, we will not be able to hold out for long."
Please lead the headquarters to retreat from the back door immediately, and the guard platoon and I will stay behind to cover you, and go quickly, Political Commissar Dong. ”
"Platoon Commander Zhang, I'm already injured and have difficulty moving, you lead a squad to protect the personnel and important information of the headquarters organs, and immediately go out through the back door to meet the 7th captain, and quickly execute the order."
"Political Commissar Dong, you are the supreme leader of the three columns of decisive death, even if I am shot, I will not leave you and escape, now the situation is very unfavorable to us, I am the commander of the guard platoon, and I have the right to order you to retreat immediately at an extraordinary moment."
Platoon Commander Zhang ordered the first squad leader to lead four soldiers to immediately retreat from the back gate of the Wangjiamiao with the wounded Dong Zhengwei and the personnel of the headquarters organs.
"Xiao Zhang, I have been injured at this time, and it is extremely inconvenient to move, it is really not appropriate to move, please lead the personnel and important materials of the headquarters to withdraw immediately, this may be my last order to you, I hope you can let me see how a soldier firmly carries out the order, I will close my eyes even if I die in battle."
Hurry up, and if you don't want to see me die before your eyes, do the order right away. Please remember, no matter whether I die here or not, as long as I hear that the battle of Wangjiamiao is over and quiet, you tell the 7th captain that he will temporarily take my place and lead the three columns of decisive death to kill more little devils for me. ”
Platoon Commander Zhang heard Dong Zhengwei's words so tragic, even if Dong Zhengwei was forced to evacuate now, he would not agree.
He ordered the first squad leader to lead two fighters to cover the personnel of the headquarters of the Third Column of the Decisive Death and immediately withdraw from the back door with important documents, and found the 7th Captain to request reinforcements quickly.
The Japanese squad launched the maximum fire attack on the Wangjiajia Temple, and almost broke through the fire resistance and rushed into the courtyard several times.
The soldiers of the guard platoon of the three columns resisted bravely, and even sacrificed themselves in order to protect Dong Zhengwei. But after all, the enemy was outnumbered, and under the enemy's powerful offensive, the soldiers of the guard platoon suffered heavy casualties, and it was already very difficult to block the enemy's attack.
Dong Zhengwei saw that the firepower of the Japanese attack was more ferocious, and if the soldiers of the guard platoon were to guard the gate to block the attacking enemy, I am afraid that the soldiers would die heroically here.
He shouted to the guard platoon leader: "Xiao Zhang, I will take the first and third squads to block the attacking devils at the gate, and the firepower covers you to lead the second squad to retreat to the compound with the help of grinding pans and stone mills as blocking positions, covering me and the first and third squads to withdraw into the compound." ”
"Political Commissar Dong, I will lead the first and third classes to cover, and you will lead the second class to withdraw into the compound, please listen to me, I beg you Dong Zhengwei." Platoon Commander Zhang cried and crawled to Dong Zhengwei's side, grabbed General Dong's arm and cried and begged with tears.
