Chapter 148: Rescuing Sun Desheng

Soon, Xu Wen, Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng and other battalion company commanders arrived, and after discussion, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang discussed the action plan as quickly as possible.

The whole regiment took the company and platoon as a unit, and launched a counterattack against the enemy in front of them, breaking through from the front.

Xu Wen's artillery company, Sun Desheng's cavalry company, and two companies of the first battalion all followed Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to protect the safety of the regimental headquarters.

Before breaking through, Xu Wen's artillery company first concentrated its firepower and bombarded the joint between the Japanese army and the puppet army.

Then, the cavalry company opened the way and took the lead in attacking the Japanese army, and the regimental headquarters guard platoon, two companies of the first battalion followed up and formed an assault team to attack.

However, Xu Wen's artillery company, because it had to provide fire support for the infantry and cavalry as much as possible, the order of sorties was last in the whole regiment.

It was almost the assault team led by the cavalry company, which had already torn through the enemy's blockade line, and when the gap was opened, Xu Wencai ordered the artillerymen to blow up the Type 92 infantry guns, carrying only mortars and shells to follow the breakthrough.

There was no way to blow it up, because time did not allow them to disassemble the guns of more than 70 mm caliber and take them away.

In addition, a Type 92 infantry gun weighs several hundred catties, and even after dismantling, it needs to be transported by pack horses, and it is obviously impossible to take it away smoothly by manpower alone.

Forcibly carrying it will only drag down the artillery battery, so it can only be blown up painfully.

Seeing that Wei Dayong was not very reluctant, Xu Wen was not distressed at all and said: "Hurry up and blow it up, as long as the troops are there, we will have any artillery in the future." ”

At the urging of Xu Wen, Wei Dayong and the soldiers of the artillery company blew up the larger-caliber artillery one after another, carrying only mortars, followed by the cavalry company and other assault troops, and rushed out of the gap.

The 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion and other units also took advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army and the puppet army blockade line.

Since it was night, and the regimental headquarters took the lead in attacking, attracting the attention of the Japanese puppet army, the assault operations of each battalion were smooth.

Within half an hour, almost all of them were successful.

Of course, the Japanese puppet army would not let go of the independent regiment, and immediately pursued separately, and at the same time contacted other second-line troops to prepare to intercept the various units of the independent regiment.

In particular, the cavalry wing of Kuroshima Morita relied on their outnumbered numbers and fast cavalry speed, and closely pursued the breakout troops of the independent regiment headquarters.

When the Independent Regiment retreated to the vicinity of the enemy's second blockade line, Kuroshima Morita led his troops to catch up with the Independent Regiment.

Faced with the situation that there was interception in front and chasing soldiers in the rear, Li Yunlong could only let the cavalry company and artillery stop advancing and turn around to block the devil's pursuers.

Then, with Zhao Gang, he personally led the main force of the first battalion and the regimental guard platoon and other troops to continue the attack and advance to break through.

In the face of the pursuit of thousands of people from the Devil's Cavalry Wing, the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment, which had only more than 100 people, was obviously powerless to resist.

At the beginning, relying on the fire support provided by Xu Wen's artillery company, he could barely block the attack.

However, as the devil cavalry began to divide their troops and outflank them, the situation became more and more critical.

Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by the enemy, Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company who originally dismounted and acted as an infantry and cooperated with the artillery company to block the devil's attack, said to Xu Wen with an anxious face: "Company Commander Wang, the enemy's cavalry is about to outflank it, and it can't be dragged on like this."

Hurry up and retreat with the brothers of the artillery company, and I will lead the cavalry to attack and slow down the enemy's attack! ”

Both Xu Wen and Sun Desheng understand that taking the initiative at this time is no different from committing suicide.

Therefore, Xu Wen still admires Sun Desheng's warrior spirit of seeing death as home.

Therefore, he said: "Company Commander Sun, our artillery company will not leave, stay and fight side by side with you!" Break out together! ”

Sun Desheng couldn't help but scold: "Nonsense, no, the artillery company is the baby bump of our whole regiment, and it can't just be gone."

Besides, the devils are all cavalry, and you artillery fight bayonets, don't you send yourself to the tiger's mouth?

Don't talk about the rest, hurry up! ”

After speaking, Sun Desheng turned around and shouted to the surrounding cavalry company officers: "All the cavalry companies are on their horses and ready to attack!" ”

Soon, more than 100 soldiers of the cavalry company got on their horses one after another, followed Sun Desheng and rode forward with swords, and rushed out without fear of death.

Xu Wen didn't have time to stop it at all, so he had to order Wei Dayong and the others first: "Withdraw!" ”

With the artillery company, they retreated, and at this time, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had once again opened a gap in the enemy's blockade line by virtue of their desperate assault.

Seeing that the cavalry company took the initiative to attack, the devil's cavalry wing surrounded them one after another.

Therefore, Xu Wen and the others were able to successfully break away from the pursuit of the cavalry, follow the breakthrough route of the regimental headquarters, and then rushed to the gap in the second blockade line of the devils.

"Lao Zhao, you can't leave the cavalry company and artillery company, let the platoons resist and answer their withdrawal!" Li Yunlong personally held a Czech-style light machine gun, and while firing at the Japanese puppet troops swarming on both sides, he said to Zhao Gang in a loud voice.

Zhao Gang was also unwilling to abandon the cavalry company and artillery company, so he and Li Yunlong alone took a part of the soldiers and deployed on the spot near the breakthrough, blocking the devils and puppet armies on both sides respectively.

Under the response of the regimental headquarters, Xu Wen and Wei Dayong led the artillery company and rushed out in one go.

Seeing that only Xu Wen rushed out with the artillery company, Li Yunlong immediately asked, "Pillar, where is the cavalry company?" ”

"In order to cover our retreat, the cavalry company took the initiative to attack the enemy and was surrounded by devil cavalry!" Wei Dayong replied for Xu Wen with a sad face.

"What?" Li Yunlong was shocked when he heard this, and immediately decided: "You can't leave the cavalry company behind, organize troops to fight me back!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yunlong's feet suddenly softened, and he stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.

At that time, there was a rain of bullets on the battlefield, and Zhao Gang thought that Li Yunlong was shot and wounded, so he ran over in surprise: "Lao Li, how are you, Lao Li!" ”

"Do you think Lao Tzu was shot? The bullet that killed me Li Yunlong hasn't been made yet. Li Yunlong paused breathlessly and continued: "Lao Zhao, you can't leave the cavalry company, you have to organize troops to fight back and rescue the cavalry company." ”

Zhao Gang looked up at the situation in the encirclement, and said with an embarrassed expression: "No, Lao Li, you see that the enemy's cavalry has a wing, and there are a large number of infantry moving towards our flanks around."
