1039. Flank Raid and Attack the Enemy
In this Nanchang counterattack, the battle line was relatively long, and hundreds of thousands of people in the ninth and third theaters were counterattacking on the fronts of several hundred miles to the west and south of Nanchang.
This will inevitably lead to very frequent battles in various places, resulting in the assistance of Japanese aircraft, and not all the time to bomb the Chinese army.
The machine gun company of the 3rd Battalion on Maochai Mountain, taking advantage of the fact that no Japanese planes were coming, used mortars and heavy machine guns to strike at and suppress the Japanese fire point west of Xiangfuguan.
The Eighth Company in the front also took advantage of this time to squeeze the formation forward, forcing the Japanese army to retreat step by step, and the attack of the Ninth Company on the flank also contained a large number of Japanese troops, and it was impossible to concentrate its forces to deal with the Eighth Company.
At this time, the Seventh Company had completed the penetration of the flank of the northern position of Xiangfuguan, and successfully arrived at the designated attack position.
When the 7th Company arrived at the attack position as scheduled, it did not wait to contact the battalion headquarters, and as soon as the strength was deployed, it immediately launched a surprise attack on the flank of the enemy army in Xiangfuguan.
At present, most of the Japanese infantry in Xiangfuguan is attracted to the front (west) and south, while the northern flank has become a relatively empty position, and only a small number of troops are deployed, only as a guard.
Therefore, these dozens of vigilant devils, under the sudden attack of the Seventh Company, could not withstand this tidal wave at all, and they were instantly crushed.
As soon as the Japanese army's northern flank position was rushed away, Xiucai led the Seventh Company without stopping, and then rushed violently to the core position of the Japanese Xiangfuguan, and plunged deep into it, completely ignoring whether there was protection behind him.
Because Xiucai trusts Sangou too much, he knows that Sangou will not let Qilian go deep into the enemy group and stand idly by, and now he must have deployed the corresponding countermeasures.
Indeed, not only the third battalion, but the entire 305th regiment moved, seeing such a good opportunity, Liu Guangyu of the 305th regiment was also overjoyed, and urgently ordered the first battalion and the second battalion to act together, cooperate with the third battalion, and attack the Japanese position of Xiangfuguan from all directions.
The Seventh Company once again showed the majesty and domineering spirit of Sangou when he was the company commander, and he rushed all the way to the core position of the Japanese army's Xiangfuguan, and even the place where the brigade headquarters was located.
At this moment, the Japanese army was very passive, and hurriedly transferred the troops of the front and south positions back to prevent the Chinese army from breaking in.
As a result, the three dogs were just waiting for the Japanese army to retreat, and as soon as the main force of the Japanese army retreated, the machine gun company on this side immediately concentrated its firepower and attacked the second defense position of the Japanese retreat.
At the same time, the Eighth and Ninth Companies on the front and south also launched the most powerful general attack, and hundreds of fighters, in the midst of the charge, shouted "Kill!" Kill! Kill! The slogan swept away.
The first battalion of the 305th Regiment also detoured to the southern position of Xiangfuguan at this time, followed the Ninth Company, and entered the enemy formation, and the second battalion quickly moved to the north, following the route of the Seventh Company, and also entered the Japanese position, giving the Seventh Company a strong backup.
This set of combination punches, sharp and powerful, only beat the devil brigade all over the ground to find teeth, and now the Japanese army is attacked on three sides, and it is passive and abnormal, and it is beaten everywhere, and there is nowhere to defend it.
At the beginning, the Japanese army was still unwilling to be hit by a surprise attack, and was unwilling to retreat, and organized troops to fight with the Seventh Company, which was hoping that the Japanese army would come to this attack.
Immediately greeted it, entangled with the Japanese army, and waited until the 305th Regiment broke through the Japanese Xiangfuguan position from many places, multiple units of troops met in the enemy's position, and there were more and more people.
At this time, the Japanese army began to regret it, regretting that it should have withdrawn early before, so as not to be entangled by the Chinese army now.
Seeing that a large number of brother troops were coming, the Seventh Company was even more energetic, biting the Japanese soldiers who were fighting with them, like a vicious dog, chasing after the devil wherever he fled, without sending his mouth at all.
Under the powerful offensive of several thousand men of the 305th Regiment, the Japanese army was once again unable to resist, and was defeated again, fleeing all the way to the east, and a large part of the Japanese army was dragged to death and hunted down by the Chinese army one by one on the way.
The 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion pestered some Japanese troops and did not let go, and the 8th and 9th Companies were not to be outdone, each capturing some of the devils and not letting them escape.
If you want to escape, you can eat me with a bullet in the back, in the process of pursuit, the Japanese soldiers have been shot in the back to the ground, and when cleaning the battlefield afterwards, it was found that the devil was the easiest to kill when he fled.
It turns out that many devils have a steel plate tied to their chests, no wonder many devils will not die after being shot in the chest and abdomen in the front.
After that, the three dogs also began to collect the protective steel plates of the devil, and even after the next tank, they knocked down some steel plates, sent them back to the furnace, and asked the blacksmith master to break them into pieces of self-defense steel plates and tie them to the chest of each soldier.
This kind of protection is generally tied during the attack, but it is a big burden in the long-distance march, and the soldiers can't stand it because they are carrying dozens of pounds of war materials and more than a dozen pounds of steel plates.
At this time, a transport squad was added to the battalion headquarters to transport supplies, including ammunition, food and these steel plates.
The 74th Army is not like other local miscellaneous troops, it is strictly forbidden for officers to eat empty salaries, once known, there is even the possibility of dying, but the 51st Division will have an unwritten rule.
That is, you can eat the empty salary of the long man, and the long man is the people's husband, and generally the troops send money down to each unit to ask the people to transport materials.
This kind of funding is fixed, and each battalion has at least 10 seniors, each of which is 15 yuan, or about 200 yuan.
If it is not in wartime, this is a vacancy, not a shortage of soldiers, but a shortage of long-term husbands, almost 200 yuan a month, which can be replenished to the treasury of the battalion headquarters.
The treasury of the battalion department, most of the money was used to purchase drugs on the black market, at that time, drugs were in short supply, and there was no market for them.
Mainly those drugs that stop bleeding, reduce inflammation and relieve pain, but they are almost invisible on the normal market, and in the wartime years, almost any medicine is lacking.
The use of drugs is too large, China's pharmaceutical research and development and production capacity is very low, and the blockade of China's coastal areas by the Japanese army makes it difficult for foreign drugs to flow into the interior.
Western medicines such as quinine, compound quinine, and double cypress mushrooms were as expensive as gold, and the medical officers and monks at the battalion headquarters had to find a large number of herbs to boil into Chinese patent medicines and distribute them to the company's health soldiers.
On the black market, mainly opium (which has analgesic effects), Yunnan Baiyao, iodine wine, boric acid and other domestic drugs, all of which cost a lot of money to buy.
Don't expect the superiors to distribute medicines, the field hospitals of the division headquarters themselves are seriously short of medicines, and the three dogs have such a good relationship with Yang Muhua, and it is difficult to get medicines.
Due to the large number of wounded soldiers and seriously wounded in the field hospital, the demand for medicine is very large, so the management of drugs is very strict, and even a bottle of iodine wine must be signed by the medicine department before it can flow out.
