Chapter 207: Bloody Battle in the Temple
Cui Minghao didn't expect Wang Feng to be really a madman, he said that if he changed his face, he would change his face, who knows what the result would be with this kind of person? Not only did he have a grudge against Wang Feng.
He finally went down to the ground from the tower, and the communications staff officer handed Cui Minghao both hands the urgent telegram received from the commander of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, but before he could report, he was snatched by Cui Minghao angrily.
The emergency telegram was very simple, ordering the 186th Regiment to withdraw from the forward position of Miaohang as quickly as possible, cross the line of fire to move closer to Wang Feng's third regiment, and protect Wang Feng's artillery position on the periphery with the strength of the whole regiment.
"Bodyguard, Malegobi, Lao Tzu's 186th Regiment didn't expect to be so completely reduced to the bodyguard of Wang Feng, this bastard, it's a shame."
Cui Minghao scolded in his aggrieved mouth, but when he looked up at Wang Feng as if he was wiping his tears, he asked Feng Zhiyuan, who was leaning on the stake of the tower, "Which one of the third regiment are you?" How do I think your regimental commander seems to be crying on the tower? This little bastard's actions are too incomprehensible, and he is not afraid to kill the little devil to death, but now he is like a child...... ”
"Report to Regiment Commander Cui, I am Feng Zhiyuan, the commander of the first battalion of the Third Regiment, you see that our regiment commander Wang Feng seems to be crying on the tower, I think he must think of Gu Ming, the adjutant who has been following him, or maybe he thinks of sacrificing so many brothers by his side, and he can't help but shed tears of grief in his heart for a while."
"Y-What do you say? Commander Wang Feng's adjutant died in battle? Hey, wars always have to kill people, on the battlefield of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, how can you not only kill an adjutant? Our 186th Regiment has a team of nearly 1,000 people, and several battles to block the Japanese attack have been defeated, and now there are less than 800, if I cry my nose, I am afraid that even my nose will cry now. ”
"Commander Cui may not know yet, the life-and-death relationship between our head Wang Feng and his adjutant Gu Ming, if you know, you may be even more sad than him."
"It's over, just now I was talking to you Captain Wang Feng on the tower, and I was happy to say the word 'adjutant' for a while, wouldn't it be that these two words I confided touched Captain Wang Feng's heartache? It must be, otherwise someone as generous as Wang Feng wouldn't have thrown me away and stopped caring about me, I'm messy. ”
Cui Minghao learned the truth, immediately solved the misunderstanding of Wang Feng, and raised his head guiltily and shouted to Wang Feng standing on the tower: "Commander Wang, it is my Cui Minghao's stinky mouth that has touched your ......." ”
Wang Feng, who was standing on the tower, heard Cui Minghao shouting below, not only shook his head and urged loudly: "Commander Cui, my elder brother, since you have received an urgent telegram, why don't you immediately issue an order to order your 186th regiment to quickly withdraw from the forward position, do you still think that your regiment has fewer casualties?" ”
"Hey, Brother Wang, I have given an order to the two battalions that are sticking to the forefront of the Miaohang position, withdraw from the position as quickly and secretly as possible, and move closer here through the line of fire, you can rest assured, my bodyguard's dart head will never let your artillery position and you suffer a little loss."
"Thank you, Captain Cui." Wang Feng stood up straight and shouted like this, and immediately saluted Cui Minghao, who was standing under the tower, with a very standard modern military salute, and turned around with a telescope to quickly scan the forward position of our army on the front line of Miaoxing.
The Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat in many attacks on the front line of Miaohang, and at this time, the Fujiwara Wing not only flattened the front-line command post by artillery fire, but even all the commanders in the command post were not spared.
In the many attacks launched on the forward positions of Miaohang, more than half of the soldiers were lost, not only the commander was beheaded, but even the devil who protected a squadron of the Japanese Fujiwara front command post was eliminated by a battalion led by Cui Minghao of the 186th Regiment.
Not to mention that the artillery position was occupied by Wang Feng's 3rd Regiment, which used the very abundant artillery resources of the Japanese army to lock on to the Japanese attacking troops to carry out saturated artillery strikes.
With the support of the artillery fire of Wang Feng's artillery position, the forward position of our army, which was sticking to the front line of Miaoxing, was violently hit by the artillery fire of Wang Feng's artillery position during the fierce attack of the Japanese army, resulting in damage to the Japanese attack and heavy casualties.
The 19th Route Army, that is, General Jiang Guangding, the commander-in-chief of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, learned that Wang Feng had attacked and occupied the position of the Japanese artillery squadron, and began to support our army's frontline battlefield with the most fierce artillery fire, not only worried about Wang Feng's safety, but ordered the 186th Regiment to quickly assemble to the artillery position to protect Wang Feng's artillery position on the periphery.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Cai Tingkai received a report from the front line that under the powerful ground-to-air heavy firepower of the Japanese army, the chief and deputy commanders of the 264 Brigade were injured, the commander of the engineer battalion was killed, and the front-line positions were in a state of danger on the whole front.
Immediately ordered our army to launch a general assault on the Japanese army along the entire line from Jiangwan to Fuzaohama, and immediately trap the sudden enemy in the encirclement of our counterattacking forces.
Commander Kenkichi Ueda, commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army and commander-in-chief of the Songhu Campaign, received that the 24th Mixed Brigade was surrounded by anti-Japanese troops and requested rapid reinforcements, and immediately ordered the main force of the 9th Division to reinforce the 24th Mixed Brigade at full speed.
The main force of the reinforced 9th Division and the 24th Mixed Brigade of the encirclement coordinated with the inside and outside to fight to the death against the troops surrounded by us, and the enemy and us concentrated their main forces on the front line of Miaohang to carry out the operation.
This brutal encirclement and counter-encirclement fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, from 9 o'clock in the morning until dusk, in order to achieve the final victory, the enemy and us engaged in hand-to-hand combat, a life-and-death white-knuckle combat began.
The fierce battle on the line from Jiangwan to Fuzaobang for dozens of miles, the shouts of killing, the sound of guns and cannons, and the shouts of desperate killing that resounded through the sky, the fierceness of the battle was rare since the beginning of the war, the blood flowed like a river on the battlefield, and the corpses of the dead piled up like a mountain.
Wang Feng received an urgent telegram from General Yu Jishi, commander of the 88th Division, and pointed out the specific location of the front-line command post of the 24th Mixed Brigade Headquarters of the Japanese Army, and ordered Wang Feng's artillery position to be bombarded with the most intense artillery fire.
In order to accurately destroy the front-line command post of the 24th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, Wang Feng quickly jumped from the tower to the ground, personally operated the gun to fix the gun position, locked the coordinates of the front-line command post of the 24th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, and launched a bombardment with two guns.
Several shells fell in an arc at the front command post of the 24th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, killing and wounding several Japanese commanders, and Major General Sasaki was killed.
The 24th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army lost its commander, and the units did not have specific combat orders, and they were quickly in a state of rout under the encirclement of our army's powerful firepower.
Wang Feng led the 3rd Regiment to attack and occupy the Japanese artillery position, and successively destroyed the front command post of the Fujiwara Wing and the 24th Mixed Brigade, which effectively supported our army's counterattack on the Japanese army and laid the foundation for the rapid transformation of the Miaohang Battle to a powerful aspect of our army.
After the heroic struggle of all the officers and men of our army, the encircled Japanese army rushed left and right in the encirclement, opened a gap, and under the cover of night, a large part took the opportunity to break through, and a small part was surrounded in the area of Jin Mu Mansion and Da Mai's house, and finally was launched by our army with the most ferocious attack and all were wiped out.
In the first battle of Miaoxing, the Japanese army suffered more than 2,300 casualties, and the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield, swore to fight to the death and fought to the end with the enemy, and more than 3,000 strong martyrs were wounded.
