915. Order the recapture of Zhanggushan
The back mountain of Zhang Gushan is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, under normal circumstances, no one will attack this side, it is difficult to even climb, and it is almost impossible to attack upward with guns and cannons.
However, Zhang Lingwu, the commander of the 153rd Brigade, preferred to attack this road, believing that the Japanese army's unpreparedness should be in the cliff of the back mountain, he said:
"When the Three Kingdoms, Shu general Jiang Wei guarded the Sword Pavilion, refused 100,000 Wei soldiers outside the dangerous pass, Wei general Deng Ai then smuggled over the Sky Ridge with elite soldiers in Yinping, and went down to the river to take Chengdu and destroy Shu in one fell swoop, which is called the enemy's surprise. We can emulate this tactic today, replacing the attack with outwitting. ”
In order to achieve this victory, Division Commander Wang also transferred the 302nd Regiment of the 151st Brigade to the 151st Brigade for temporary use, under the unified command of Brigade Commander Zhang.
The 51st Division was originally a two-brigade and four-regiment system, but now three regiments were given to Brigade Commander Zhang at once, and almost the entire division was dispatched.
Back at the brigade headquarters, Brigade Commander Zhang mobilized all the regimental, battalion, and company third-level officers to arrange the battle, and tonight, the 306th and 302nd regiments took turns to attack the frontal position of Zhang Gushan.
It is necessary to fight the feint attack as a real attack, and if it is defeated, it will also be a great achievement, so Brigade Commander Zhang did not say anything about the feint attack to the two regiments, but only said that he would attack with all his might.
And the 305th Regiment, the old unit of Brigade Commander Zhang, was tasked with the arduous task of climbing up from the cliffs of the back mountain and suddenly attacking the enemy's back.
Perhaps, only their own troops can believe that they can burst out with strong potential at this time, and they are also convinced that they can survive in the face of the Japanese army's vigorous pursuit in the Wangting Resistance Battle, and they can also kill the top of Zhanggu Mountain this time.
In order to show the importance of the battle at this time, Brigade Commander Zhang decided to personally go out and select 500 daredevils, who were led by him to climb up the cliff behind Zhanggu Mountain.
This is a bit crazy, the brigade commander personally served as the captain of the death squad, and he went desperately with the devil, but for the 74th Division of the 51st Army, it was not the first time.
During the previous storming of Sanyi Village in the Battle of Lanfeng, Li Tianxia, the brigade commander of the same 153 Brigade, was the captain of the death squad, and led hundreds of "outlaws" to attack Sanyi Village, and he also entered and exited a few times.
This time, the death squad of five hundred heroes was selected in the 305 regiment, and as soon as the news came out, almost all the people in the regiment had to sign up, although Sangou was not the first, but he felt that since he was going to attack Zhang Gushan to the death, it was better to fight to the death from the back mountain.
In this case, the chance of dying in battle is very small, but once it is discovered by the enemy, on the cliff in the middle of the mountain, it is certain to die, a bit like fighting devils on the edge of the cliff of Xiaomin Mountain.
Just like people flying now, it seems that the probability of an accident is very low, but once an accident occurs, the mortality rate is very high, and there is almost no way to live.
Many times in war, it is gambling, on weekdays, ordinary people just gamble some money, but on the battlefield, gambling is life, winning bets, living, losing bets, and dying.
However, as a soldier, going to the battlefield is to prepare that he will die in battle, and he may die in battle anyway, so it is better to choose a path with the greatest possibility of survival, in case he survives, things are not all absolute.
Last year, tens of thousands of people died in the Luodian Flesh Mill in Songhu, and more than 100,000 people died in the defense of Nanjing, etc., Sangou experienced this, and always felt that his life was hard, and he couldn't die all of a sudden.
Including those old brothers, although they are the same as the three dogs, they are injured all over their bodies, but a cheap life, that is, they can't die, this can't be explained by luck, it can only be attributed to the underworld, there is really God to help this kind of thing.
Like Sanyi Village, Sangou was unwilling to lose himself and his brothers in a frontal assault and desperate fight, so he chose the recruitment of the death squad.
Although since Sanyi Village, Sangou is reluctant to take the initiative to go deep alone, or a death squad or something, but this time the brigade commander personally proposed and led the team, and there is no reason not to join.
In fact, even if Sangou doesn't join now, he still can't hide in the end, Zhang Lingwu always remembers Sangou Luo Zhicheng, a little Luozi, a talent with both wisdom and bravery.
He sat at the headquarters of the 305th regiment, waiting for Sangou to appear to sign up, thinking to himself, even if Sangou didn't come to sign up, even if the quota was full, he would finally let Sangou bring his group of brothers in.
The people who can escape from Songhu and Nanjing are not simple, and those who can fight from them are not simple, and the guy Sangou has strong autonomy and mobility in fighting, and his ability is good, so at this critical time, he must bring it.
As Zhang Lingwu expected, Sangou still came, although he was not the first to come, but he still came after all, and all of a sudden, Brigade Commander Zhang, who was usually not smiling and strictly forbidden, smiled like a flower:
"Little Luozi, why did you come so late? Don't you want to come? Don't want to follow me? Brigade Commander Zhang pretended to be a little unhappy and questioned Sangou.
"Report sir, we're late, but Zhang Gushan, we'll be the first to board it." Sangou straightened his chest, leaned on his heels, and gave a standard military salute to the brigade commander.
"Don't talk about it in the first place, but this time I'm going to make you the striker of the death squad, how about it?"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"How many people did you bring this time?"
"Not much, just dozens of old brothers from our old seventh company."
"It's okay, my side of five hundred people is already full, your dozens of people add in first, hehe, there are many chances to die, everyone line up to die."
"Follow you, sir, you won't die."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm also a human being, and I'll be killed by guns, just follow me, there's no good life, and I make you suffer."
"......" Sangou didn't know what to say for a while, and always felt that it would be a little ominous to talk about death before the war.
"You take your people and get some handy weapons and ammunition, don't be greedy, you have to climb the cliff." The brigade commander Zhang Lingwu saw that Sangou didn't answer his words, so he ordered him to leave, he still had a lot of things to do.
"Yes, sir!" Sangou saluted, retreated, and took Gouleg, Yang Chengzu, Peng Changhua, Chen Yanxin, Monk, Dakui, Chaoyang, Huzi, Dayou and others to get weapons.
This time, I didn't bring Xiucai bamboo poles, radishes, Wu Dingli, Xia Chen and a few, they are also the backbone and hope of the Seventh Company, Sangou thought, can't all the backbones of the Seventh Company be transferred away, otherwise if they all die, the Seventh Company will be in trouble.
Besides, Xiucai bamboo poles and their technical arms, playing skills are very slippery, melee hand-to-hand combat is still a little worse, it is a pity to pull the treasures of these technical talents to fight hand-to-hand combat.
Although they were also anxious to come with Sangou, they were all directly rejected by Sangou, this is not to go to the market to play, what is there to join in the fun.
In the end, the three dogs weighed it and chose people who were both melee and physical, these people were concentrated in the second row of the dog's legs, and the second row was almost empty, but a monk was also added. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Iron and Blood Road of the Anti-Japanese War: Eight Thousand Miles of Iron and Blood Claw Book House" to read it for free for the first time.
