Chapter 142 Bloody Savage Village (I)
Savage Village, diving in the south, Tianzhu Mountain in the north, the territory of green mountains and valleys surrounding.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once sealed Yue Tianzhu Mountain, once set up a altar here, called Gukou, appeared in the pen of Taishi Gong. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongol iron cavalry invaded the south, Fan Wenhu, the prefect of Anqing, surrendered, and Liu Yuan, a Qianshan man, built a village here to raise troops, and repeatedly defeated the Yuan army...... In order to highlight Liu Yuan's contribution to defending the country, Ming Xuanzong named him the king of protecting the land, because Liu Yuan was nicknamed "Savage", therefore, he also called the place where he built the village and raised troops as the Savage Village. After thousands of years, the officers and soldiers of the 66th Regiment started a bloody battle with the Japanese invaders here!
The morning sun is rising, the earth after the rain is full of water vapor, the first line of the position outside the savage village from the river beach in the south to Mei Tsui in the north is already the sound of gunfire, the sound of killing is shocking, Hamasaki Nakasa led an infantry brigade, a field artillery brigade, a surprise squadron, launched a fierce attack on the savage village.
In the defensive battle, Li Siwei's consistent style is the "Wang Ba tactic", when the little devil is suppressed by artillery fire, he hides in the fortification, and waits until the little devil is close and then bites hard.
The front-line position on the Mui Tsui River Beach was only one mile long, and the strength of two battalions was more than enough. The north of Mui Tsui is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is slightly higher, and the second battalion deployed here is both offensive and defensive. Diving on the south shore of the river beach, the terrain is open, and the battalion that is deployed here is good at defense. As for the third battalion, which was good at attacking, it was placed in the second-line position - the weir head.
The regimental headquarters is still in the weir head position, the weir head is backed by the savage village, and the two positions of Mei Tsui and Hetan are in a horn situation, and the distance between them is not more than half a mile, and the roaring artillery sound on the front line can be heard clearly.
The lights in the air-raid shelter at the regiment headquarters were dim, and Li Siwei was standing by the phone, but his heart had already flown to the front-line position.
"Quanyou, Black Bull, you must resist it, as long as you hold it out until night," Li Siwei muttered to himself, his eyes burning, "At night, Lao Tzu will clean them up!" ”
In Li Siwei's view, although the little devil's firepower is fierce, his night combat ability is not strong, and what the 66th Regiment is good at is night fighting.
"Jingle Bell ......"
The phone rang, and Li Siwei hurriedly picked up the phone, "Brigade commander!" ”
There was a hint of solemnity in Brigade Commander Luo's voice, "The battle in Water Roar Town has begun, and the enemy is menacing, this is going to cut off our retreat!" ”
Li Siwei was stunned, "The little devil came from the other side?" What a bold plan! He is not afraid of being attacked on his back? ”
Brigade Commander Luo sighed, "The friendly forces have fought hard for a long time, and they have already suffered heavy casualties, and they have been suppressed to the death in the area of Huangpu and Taohuapu, where are the troops still taking care of Shuiyao Town?" Siwei, this battle can only rely on ourselves, the three towns are each other's horns, as long as we fight to the death and do not retreat, the enemy will have no chance to take advantage of it, and when the reinforcements arrive, the victory will belong to us! ”
"Reinforcements?" Li Siwei perked up, "Where are the reinforcements?" ”
Brigade Commander Luo groaned slightly, "The 21st Group Army has arrived in the area of Huangmei and Susong, and the 26th Group Army has arrived in the area of Yuexi, and it will be able to reach the frontline position by tomorrow evening at the latest...... Four-dimensional, you must withstand it! ”
"Yes!" Li Siwei's spirits were greatly lifted, "Brigade commander, please rest assured, the 66th Regiment is here, and the Savage Village is here!" ”
After hanging up the phone, Li Siwei was in a good mood, "Sanyang, Yongnian, the brigade commander said that the reinforcements will arrive in two days at the latest." ”
"Really?" The two of them perked up, "I have to tell the brothers the news......"
"No," Li Siwei shook his head, "Wait! ”
Lu Yongnian was stunned, "Let the brothers have a bottom in their hearts, and their morale will definitely improve a lot." ”
Zheng Sanyang also looked at Li Siwei with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Li Siwei sighed softly, "If you say it now, and the reinforcements can't come as scheduled......
He had to have some scruples, and he knew about Tengxian's affairs...... It's better to rely on others than on yourself!
The two were silent, if the news was announced now, and the reinforcements could not arrive as scheduled, it would only be counterproductive.
Li Siwei groaned slightly, looking at the two of them, "Yongnian, Sanyang, the matter of the regiment headquarters will be handed over to you." ”
"Commander," the two of them were startled, "you can't mess around!" ”
Li Siwei smiled, "Don't worry, Lao Tzu just went out to have a look......"
"I'll go!" Lu Yongnian stood up suddenly, "You are the head of the regiment, and you should be in command." ”
Li Siwei shook his head, "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can you command if you don't see the front line?" ”
With that, Li Siwei turned around and took off the spear, put it on his shoulder, and strode out of the cave.
Zheng Sanyang and Lu Yongnian looked at each other and smiled bitterly, this regiment commander was still too young, to be more like a charging soldier.
As soon as Li Siwei came out of the cave, he ran into Shi Meng who came in a hurry.
As soon as Shi Meng saw Li Siwei, he shouted, "Regiment commander, the battle is in full swing in front, why do you put our three battalions behind?" It's a battalion that should stay behind! ”
"Oh?" Li Siwei looked at him and smiled, "Can't sit still?" Lao Tzu asked you, three battalions must be stronger than one battalion to defend the position? ”
"Uh," Shi Meng paused, and laughed wryly, "It's not true, but we're not bad either!" ”
Li Siwei shook his head and patted him on the shoulder, "Let the brothers calm down Lao Tzu, this time, the hardest battle is reserved for you!" ”
Shi Meng's spirits perked up, "Really? ”
Li Siwei glared, "Lao Tzu deceived you? ”
Shi Meng smiled, "It's not, it's just ...... The first and second battalions are in front, where is there still a tough battle in the third battalion? ”
Li Siwei smiled, "The little devils have all been sent to the door, how can I not greet them well?" ”
"Oh," Shi Meng's eyes lit up, "counterattack? ”
"That's right," Li Siwei nodded and looked at the sky, "As long as Quanyou and Hei Niu can withstand the darkness, then it's time for your three battalions to contribute!" ”
The artillery brigade concentrated its firepower to bombard the defenders' positions, but when they saw the smoke of gunpowder billowing and the scorched earth flying, after the sound of artillery stopped, the smoke of gunpowder did not disperse for a long time, and the defenders' positions were dead silent.
"Attack!"
Before the battle, Hamasaki Nakasa pulled out his saber with a "choking" and pointed straight at the sky.
"Rush!"
The Nara squadron soldiers who were responsible for the charge were divided into three routes, and they rushed to the defenders' positions with murderous spirits.
800 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters......
The little devil screamed and rushed forward, but the defenders' positions were dead silent.
200 meters, 100 meters......
The defenders' positions remained dead silent.
"Rush, ......"
The little devil rushed faster, and victory was within reach!
In front of the battle, Hamasaki Nakasa held a telescope and stared closely at the defenders' positions, and the charge was extremely smooth, but a trace of uneasiness swelled in his heart...... Although the artillery fire is fierce, but the defenders have the advantage of fortifications, how can they be so vulnerable?
80 meters, 60 meters......
Looking at the defenders' positions that were getting closer and closer, Captain Nara slowed down and waved his saber desperately, "Charge!" ”
The little devils behind him crossed Captain Nara one after another and rushed to the defenders' positions.
Forty meters, thirty meters......
Bright steel helmets suddenly appeared in the trenches.
"Bang ......"
The little devil was startled, and he shot with a gun.
The steel helmets of the defenders flashed, but they disappeared into the trenches, "poof, ......puff, puff", most of the bullets hit the fortifications, the earth and stones were splashed, and some bullets hit the defenders, and blood was splashed.
"Woo Woo ......"
The black-pressed grenade had already pierced the void and rained down, "Peng Bang Bang...... Boom Boom Boom ......"
"Ah......h
Shrapnel flew sideways, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and screams came and went, and the charging formation of the little devils suddenly went into chaos.
"Rush ......"
Captain Nara was shocked in his heart, desperately brandished his saber, and roared, the defenders' positions were already close at hand, how could they retreat!
The remnants of the little devils swarmed up, crazy and brave.
Twenty meters, ten meters......
The little devil in front smoothly rushed to the edge of the trench.
In front of the little devil's position, Hamasaki Nakasa waved his saber, "Attack!" ”
"Rush!"
The Umegawa squadron rushed out of the position, they were the second echelon!
On the edge of the trench, the little devils who rushed up looked at the empty trench, all stunned, holding their guns, but they didn't know where to shoot.
"Da Da Da ......"
At this moment, the gunfire was loud, and the bullets rained down on you like locusts!
I saw four tongues of fire spraying out on the stone wall behind the trench, interweaving a dense network of firepower...... The improved firepower arrangement of the 66th Regiment was just like that on the Hengshan Ridge, and the machine guns were arranged in the dark holes behind the trenches!
"Ah......h
The little devils who had just rushed to the edge of the trench immediately fell to the ground one after another like harvested crops.
The machine gun rang out, and Captain Nara was startled and lowered his body, "Grenade!" Grenade Attack! ”
The little devils lowered their bodies and tore off the grenades on their chests.
"Woo Woo ......"
The grenades of the defenders were already raining down, and the sound of machine guns was still ringing, but it turned into direct fire. In the gap between the fire nets, the steel helmets of the defenders appeared in front of them again, and the cat's ear hole was on the opposite side of the dark hole, and as soon as the little devils retreated, they got out, and the machine guns changed from strafing to direct fire.
"Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom ......"
Gunsmoke was billowing, and the little devils who were preparing for grenade attacks wailed all over the field.
"Hit!"
There was a loud shout in the trenches, and the barrels of the guns showed their heads, "Bang bang bang ......"
"Yaga!"
Captain Nara was shocked and angry, and retreated in a panic, "Retreat!" ”
In front of the defenders' position is a gentle slope, and the obstacles have long been cleared, and there is nowhere to hide, leaving behind is a live target!
The little devils who did not cover fled in panic, and there were also little devils hiding behind the corpses of their companions, still desperately fighting back.
Seeing that the Nara squadron fled in panic, the Umegawa squadron, which had just rushed halfway, was stunned for a moment and stopped the charge.
"Yaga!" Captain Umegawa was furious, and glared angrily at Captain Nara, who had fled back, "Nara Shikamaru ......"
"Trap!" Captain Nara yelled, bypassed the Umegawa squadron, and continued to flee towards the main formation, "It's a trap!" ”
"Trap?" Captain Umegawa was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around, "Withdraw!" ”
"Bang ......"
In front of the defenders' positions, gunfire hit Basho like a shower!
The little devil is in the main formation, Hamasaki Nakasa clutched his saber tightly and stared at Captain Nara, "Yaga! Death to those who retreat! ”
"Nakasa!" Captain Nara trembled and hurriedly defended, "That's a trap for the Shina people......"
After listening to Captain Nara's description, Hamasaki Nakasa gritted his teeth, "Rectify the rest and fight again!" ”
"Hey!" Captain Nara hurriedly agreed, already drenched in cold sweat!
Hamasaki Nakasa gritted his teeth and gave an order to the artillerymen, "Artillery fire!" ”
"Nakasa," Captain Nara was startled, "the gunfire has not stopped......
The gunfire did not stop, and the officers and men left behind by the Nara squadron were still fighting back, once the shelling ......
"Shelling!" Hamasaki Nakasa glared at Captain Nara, and his voice was fierce, "If Nara-kun is still fighting back, why do you need to shell!" ”
Captain Nara was silent, where did he dare to dissuade him?
"Bang bang bang...... Woohoo ......"
The field positions roared again and again, and the shells pounced on the defenders' positions like flying locusts, and the gunfire on the defenders' positions did not stop, and more than a dozen little devils were still hiding behind the corpses and resisting stubbornly!
"Hide!"
Lu Quanyou's roar resounded through the trenches.
"Woohoo...... Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom ......"
Shells rained down, flames burst out, smoke billowed, shrapnel flew sideways, and the brothers who could not dodge were thrown to the ground, their stumps flew sideways, and the howls were everywhere.
"Alas!" Lu Quanyou, who was hiding in the cat's ear hole, smashed his fist on the cave wall, his face full of grief and indignation, "Dog's artillery!" ”
Because of the ferocity of the little devil's artillery, he had to adopt such a defensive strategy, but this defense still has a fatal weakness...... If they can't completely annihilate the little devils who rushed to the front of the position, they will easily rush into the position, but to completely destroy them, the brothers can't calmly retreat into the cat's ear hole.
The earth was trembling, and the mud and sand were pouring down from the cat's ear hole. The artillery fire was like a huge wave, wave after wave, and the defenders' positions were like lonely boats in a storm.
In the woods behind the position, Li Siwei was lying behind the boulder, his face was pale, and when he arrived, he was encountering fierce artillery bombardment, and he couldn't get close to the position at all.
"Leader," Miao Zhenhua's face was anxious, "Why are all the little devils here?" I'm afraid the first battalion can't stand it! ”
Li Siwei was stunned, "Let's go, go to the second camp!" ”
Miao Zhenhua was stunned, "No matter what a battalion?" ”
Li Siwei's footsteps did not stop, "A battalion can withstand it!" ”
Mei Tsui, the position of the second battalion, Liao Heiniu held the binoculars, looking anxiously, "Turtle'er, I already knew that Lao Tzu was going to guard the river beach!" ”
Ma Yue also looked indignant, "Turtle's, little devils will also pick up soft persimmons and pinch them!" ”
Mu Tiezhu shook his head, "The first battalion is not a soft persimmon, I have seen their training, it is not bad!" ”
Liao Heiniu glared, "Lao Tzu knows, but the little devils can't let them have a battalion to ......"
"Yes!" Before he finished speaking, Li Siwei had already strode over, "Black Bull, organize a capable force to attack the little devil from the flank!" ”
Liao Heiniu was stunned, "However, all the obstacles in front of the formation have been cleared...... Isn't this for the brothers to be sent to death? ”
Li Siwei shook his head, "Did Lao Tzu let you really fight, just make some noise!" ”
Liao Heiniu frowned when he heard this, "I'm afraid it won't work if I just make a little noise, and the little devil is not stupid!" ”
Li Siwei glared, "Lao Tzu told you to go, you went!" What do you think the three camps are for? ”
"Three battalions?" Liao Heiniu was taken aback, "You didn't want to save the camp?" ”
Li Siwei shook his head, his face full of bitterness, "Tell Lao Tzu, how can you save it?" ”
Liao Heiniu was shocked and silent.
Li Siwei patted him on the shoulder heavily, "The first battalion only relies on themselves!" All you can do is seize the opportunity and prepare...... Only by repelling the little devils as soon as possible can the first battalion have a glimmer of life. ”
"Lao Tzu understands!" Liao Heiniu gritted his teeth, "When will the third battalion act?" ”
Li Siwei often gets dark, "At least wait until it gets dark!" ”
"It's dark?" Liao Heiniu was taken aback, "It's only noon, and there's still a whole afternoon, and a battalion is afraid of ......."
Li Siwei gritted his teeth, "Then let them last for an afternoon!" When the first battalion is exhausted, the second battalion will be on the second battalion, and when the second battalion is exhausted, the supply company will be on the supply company, and when the supply company is exhausted, the special service company will be on the special service company, and when the special service company is exhausted, Lao Tzu will lead the regiment headquarters! The three battalions must be stayed until the evening, and the Lao Tzu only have one chance! ”
"Yes!" Liao Heiniu agreed, turned around and left, "The veterans who enlisted in Pingyi City before all came out to Lao Tzu and replaced them with spears!" ”
"Yes......"
Fifty or sixty men hurried over with spears, standing upright one by one, looking at Liao Heiniu with blazing eyes.
Liao Heiniu's gaze slowly swept over everyone, with a solemn expression, "Go to the little devil's position with Lao Tzu...... Remember, Lao Tzu shouted to release the gun, Lao Tzu shouted to withdraw and withdraw, if any turtle ran slowly and was left on the road by the little devil, don't blame Lao Tzu! ”
"Yes!" The brothers agreed.
"Let's go!" Liao Heiniu picked up his spear, turned over into the trench, and rushed down the hillside in front of the battle with a cat body, rushing to the position of the little devil.
Mei Tsui is only more than half a mile away from the river beach, and the position of the little devil is far away, and the brothers follow closely and rush to the position of the little devil with murderous spirit.
"Moths to the fire!" On the right flank position of the little devil, Captain Ishigaki held a telescope and looked at the team rushing down from Mei Tsui, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, "A small team of men and horses dares to take the initiative to attack?" Takeda-kun, outflank the two wings, leave them all behind! ”
"Hey!" Captain Takeda, the captain of the cavalry squadron, gently lowered the binoculars when he heard this, and his smile was hideous!
