Chapter 183: Deployment to harass the Japanese position
Wang Feng faced everyone's puzzled rhetorical question, and laughed and said: "Don't worry, I said that I sent four small detachments to approach the Japanese positions and barracks to reconnoitre, just to stand guard and guard the soldiers who were resting in the positions from a distance. ”
"'Standing guard from a distance'? Once the Japanese army launches an attack and sneak attack, will the small troops who stand guard at a long distance come and call us the police? ”
"Why don't you understand, once a reconnaissance team sent out finds the enemy, it will immediately open fire and entangle with the enemy, can you still sleep when you hear the gunshots? You will definitely be awakened by the sound of gunfire, and you will be able to push into the front of the position as quickly as possible, and you will be able to block the attack of the Japanese troops with maximum fire at any time. ”
When everyone heard Wang Feng say this, they were embarrassed to follow the 'haha' and laughed: "That's right, the brothers who stood guard from a long distance found that the Japanese army was attacking our position and fired a warning, and we rushed into the position to ensure that it was too late." ”
From the 20th, especially after the Battle of Miaohang, Commander Kenkichi Ueda ordered the Japanese army to launch an all-out attack on the positions defended by the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army.
Ueda Kenkichi adopted the strategy of breaking through the center and attacking on both flanks, and ordered the Ninth Division to attack the main target of Jiangwan and Miaohang. Ordered planes to drop bombs in droves over the Chinese positions and in the rear, and each aerial bombardment inflicted the most brutal destruction on our positional fortifications, causing a large number of casualties among the troops.
Artillery and ship-borne heavy artillery and tanks were used to concentrate artillery fire on the positions in Wusong, Miaohang, and Jiangwan, and the Japanese troops on the ground, under the cover of aerial planes and ground artillery fire, launched a frantic attack and advanced rapidly.
All the officers and men of the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army of our army were not frightened by the heavy bombardment and shelling of Japanese aircraft and artillery, although they saw their comrades-in-arms fall under the enemy's bomb fire.
Instead, he took up arms and stepped on the blood and corpses of the martyrs, continued to rush to the front line of the position, and with the most fierce firepower, blocked the Japanese attack and moved forward steadily.
General Jiang Guangding, commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, ordered all troops to take advantage of the harsh terrain of the Yangtze River Delta's water network and tidal flats, as well as to quickly repair fortifications to make positions, and put up stubborn resistance to the attacking enemy.
The troops with the strongest combat effectiveness of the two armies were ordered to take advantage of their geographical location and familiarity with the terrain to flank the vanguard of the Japanese army that had broken through to the junction of Jiangwan and Miaohang with the most powerful firepower.
At this time, the 528th Regiment of the 88th Division Reserve, as well as the engineer battalion defending the Zhangjiaji position, were ordered by the army commander Zhang Zhizhong to defend the forefront of the Miaohang position.
The two German armaments and units with strong combat effectiveness fought day and night with the enemy who broke into the temple for two days and two nights, and both the enemy and us were very tired.
In order to take advantage of the enemy's fatigue and disrupt the Japanese army without rest, General Zhang Zhizhong once again ordered the 528th Regiment and the engineer battalion to take the opportunity to attack the forward positions and barracks of the Japanese army, but they must not be bitten by the enemy and unable to get out.
Qian Lunti, commander of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, personally came to the 528th Regiment to give the order and inquired about the situation of the engineer battalion at the forefront of the Miaohang battlefield.
Li Xiansong, commander of the 528th Regiment, reported: "Brigade seat, the engineer battalion suffered heavy casualties in the third blocking battle with the Japanese army, and asked me for help. ”
"Li Xiansong, you bastard, under Wang Feng's repeated pleas, I promised to be the reserve of your 528th Regiment, and I clearly warned you that Wang Feng's Third Regiment must not be moved until the most dangerous and critical moment, why did you send this Third Regiment, which has only one company, to the frontline position of the engineer battalion?"
"Brigade seat, I have already ordered Du Zhiguo, the commander of the engineer battalion, once it is discovered that Wang Feng's third regiment has reached his position, he will block the third regiment in the rear with the strength of a platoon, and the third regiment will never be allowed to enter the forward position.
When Li Xiansong, the commander of the 528th Regiment, said this, he was not only very dissatisfied and asked: "Brigade seat, since Wang Feng's Third Regiment is also a unit of the Fifth Army that we have just formed, why can any unit directly enter the front line to block the enemy, but this Third Regiment is like a porcelain doll, afraid of danger, is it that the lives of the soldiers and brothers of other units are not as valuable as them?" ”
"Let me correct you, it's not that the soldiers of the Third Regiment are valuable, but that the two characters of the Third Regiment are extraordinary, and they must be guaranteed to live in this Songhu War of Resistance, and if necessary, they must send troops to protect them." Brigadier Qian Lunti said in a stern tone.
"Since it's so big, why don't you let these two precious bastards stay behind? Why bother to go to the front line, embarrass people, and disturb the morale of the army. ”
"Li Xiansong, although this is a war, but war is also politics, although I don't know the ins and outs of these two characters of the Third Regiment very well, but I know that their lives are more valuable than me and you, and even more important than our commander Yu Jishi. Hmph, you don't understand, I'm still aggrieved. ”
"Hey, Brigade Seat, did you say that these two characters in the Third Regiment are Wang Feng and the female Adjutant Gu? If you don't want to be responsible and keep these two bastards alive, why don't you just tie them up and throw them in the rear, and then let them go after the battle, won't it be safe? ”
What Captain Li Xiansong thought was very simple and practical, and it was indeed a good way to ensure the integrity of the lives of these two characters without taking responsibility.
This method is actually that I can't afford to provoke and can't hide? Don't you want to be guaranteed that there is no danger, then tie them up and leave them there, how simple and big it is, as for the traveler to go through such a lot of trouble and worry about these two little bastards?
Brigadier Qian Lunti was told by Commander Li Xiansong, and he couldn't hold back his 'haha' and laughed: "Li Xiansong, Li Xiansong, your brother thinks too simplistic about the problem, do you know what this Wang Feng is all about?" Hmph, I'm afraid that if I work hard with you in the military for a lifetime, I won't get the glory he obtained. ”
"Brigade, this little white face is so powerful? Let's hear it, okay? ”
'Tell me about it'? If Brigadier Qian Lunti told the ins and outs of Wang Feng's coming to the Fifth Army this time, would Li Xiansong be surprised and stick out his tongue and not retract it?
Li Xiansong pestered Qian Lunti to tell Wang Feng and Gu Ming, the little-known identities of these two figures, and the recent shocking case in Shanghai was brought to Nanjing, and was personally received by President Jiang, and was honored to receive the 'Zhongzheng Sword', and was indeed frightened.
After a long time, he said: "This Wang Feng is really a special character, and he definitely didn't rely on his family background and his father's prestige in the army to make such a respectable record, since the senior officials of the government attach so much importance to Wang Feng, why did they send him to the front line to die?" ”
"It's not that Shangfeng wants to send him to the Songhu battlefield, but wants to leave him at the Central Army Military Academy as a military instructor, and directly promote him from the acting battalion commander to the commander of the third regiment of the teaching corps, just to let him stay in a safe place and have an important appointment.
But this guy who didn't know the height of the sky wanted to participate in this Miaoxing battle, so he took his four brothers on the train, but he did two more tickets with the Japanese army on the way, and escorted the passenger and freight train to Shanghai safely all the way. ”
"Brigade seat, then this kid has no news in the engineer camp now, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, if this bastard dies, then I, Li Xiansong, will definitely be blamed?"
