Chapter 23: A New Mission

Sixty miles north of Changzhou, on the 518 heights, it is being attacked by little devils at this moment.

And stationed here is the 51st Regiment of the 151st Brigade of the 303rd Division, facing the fierce attack of an infantry wing of the little devils, even with the help of favorable terrain defense, their situation is still precarious.

After a day and a night of non-stop fighting, the entire 308th Regiment was almost completely wiped out.

Originally, because of the serious attrition of participating in the Battle of Songhu, it has reached the point of exhaustion at this moment.

The tragic situation is not even inferior to Yang Yun's new battalion.

"Tuanza, the little devil is killing again? What do we do now? ”

The commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dahai, asked the regiment commander Wang Dalong a little anxiously.

"What are you panicking about? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, as long as the little devil dares to come, then give Lao Tzu a hard beating! ”

In fact, Wang Dalong's heart was far from being as calm as his face showed.

But he had no choice, the division commander Wang Yaowu had already given him a death order, either to hold on to the 518 heights for two days, or to completely annihilate the little devil's Xiaogang United.

The Xiaogang United, which annihilated the little devils, did have such a lofty ambition at the beginning.

However, with the passage of time, such a lofty ambition has long been forgotten by him yesterday.

Now he is only thinking about completing the task assigned to him by the division commander Wang Yaowu.

As for the Xiaogang United, which completely annihilated the little devils, he couldn't even think of it.

Because the little devil is more powerful than he imagined.

Not to mention that the little devils have a certain advantage in numbers, even if their 303rd regiment is equal to the number of little devils, it is definitely not the opponent of the little devils.

However, no matter how powerful the little devil is, as a real soldier with flesh and blood, Wang Dalong will not abandon his position and ignore the orders of the commander.

"But, Tuanza, if we don't retreat, not only will we lose our position, but we will also be wiped out!"

Zhang Dahai continued to recount the battle situation here.

In fact, where is the need for him to say, how can Wang Dalong not know the urgency of the situation here.

But military orders cannot be violated, and soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, so even if he dies, he can only fight!

Seeing that the regiment commander Wang Dalong was still unmoved, Zhang Dahai continued: "Regiment commander, otherwise we will ask the division headquarters for support, right?" ”

"This ......"

I have to say that Zhang Dahai's idea really made Wang Dalong a little tempted, you know, although he is not afraid of death, he doesn't want to die either!

"Tuanzuo, I think Company Commander Zhang's idea is good, I can't hesitate any longer, give an order quickly!"

Seeing that the head of the regiment, Wang Dalong, was still hesitating, Adjutant Cui on the side hurriedly interjected.

"This ...... All right! ”

The battle situation was urgent, and Wang Dalong also knew that he couldn't waste any more time, so he didn't hesitate at the moment, and shouted directly to the signal soldiers: "Signal soldiers!" ”

"Here!"

"Send a telegram for help to the division headquarters quickly!"

"Yes!"

……

After receiving a telegram from the 303rd Regiment asking for help, the division commander Wang Yaowu's face also showed embarrassment.

Although their 51st Division withdrew from the Songhu battlefield with the large army, they were also fighting everywhere, and at this time there were no extra troops to support the 303rd Regiment.

However, Wang Yaowu has already agreed to Wang Dalong's request, so naturally he will not ignore the soldiers of the 303rd Regiment.

"Adjutant Zhang, is that unit a little closer to the 303 regiment's 518 position now?"

Wang Yaowu seemed to have made a decision, so he asked the adjutant on the side.

"Back to the division, it seems that within a hundred miles of the 518 heights, there are no troops from us."

Adjutant Zhang thought for a moment and replied.

"Didn't you?"

"Like...... No. ”

"What do you mean by like? Yes is yes, no is no! ”

Seeing Adjutant Zhang's speech, Wang Yaowu suddenly asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Well, yesterday there was a force not far from the 518 heights, but I'm afraid there won't be one today."

Wang Yaowu just wanted to ask Adjutant Zhang what he meant by this, but after thinking about it, he understood, and then asked him, "Are you talking about the new first battalion?" ”

"That's right! It's the new battalion. It's just that in the face of the attack of a brigade of little devils, not to mention that it's just a new battalion, even a regiment can't withstand it! ”

"Others may not be able to do it, but Yang Yun must be able to! Quickly send a message to Yang Yun, if he is not dead, let him rush over to support Wang Dalong! It doesn't take too long, just three hours! ”

"Three hours? Master, what do you mean by that? ”

"I have already asked Zhang Haisheng to rush over to support the 303rd Regiment, but it will take 5 hours to rush to the 518 Heights from here at the earliest, and Yang Yun I estimate that they will be able to reach the 518 Heights within two hours at most, as long as they hold on until Zhang Haisheng arrives, they can withdraw."

"Master, the guard company is responsible for protecting your safety, how can you send them?"

"Then you tell me, if you don't send them, who will I send?"

"But the guards are gone, what about your safety?"

"Is my life my life, and the lives of the brothers of the 303rd Regiment not my life? Rest assured! Lao Tzu's life is hard, the bullet that can kill Lao Tzu has not yet been made! Go and send a telegram! ”

"Yes!"

Adjutant Zhang originally wanted to say something more, but he saw that the division commander had made up his mind, and he couldn't pull back ten cows, so he could only follow his order and let the signal corps send a telegram.

……

There was nothing to do all night, early in the morning, the new battalion in Changzhou City was stationed, and after a night's rest, everyone packed up their things and was preparing to pursue the large army.

But the telegraph that did not want to be peaceful for a day and a night suddenly rang again, and this "tick-tick" sound made everyone's hearts chuckle, because when the telegram sounded, nothing good would happen.

Yesterday, it was because of this damn telegram that their new battalion lost most of its brothers.

And today......

Everyone didn't dare to continue thinking about it, so they all turned their eyes to Yang Yun, the battalion commander on the side.

"Read!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order from the battalion commander Yang Yun, the signal soldier who had translated the telegram read out the contents of the telegram aloud: "Yang Yun! Today, I order your battalion to rush to the 518 Heights to support the 303rd Regiment, as long as you hold on for three hours, you will be considered to have completed the task, and then you can evacuate by yourself, and I will give you a great credit when you return to the division headquarters! ”

After listening to the content of the telegram, Yang Yun's brows, which had just been stretched, were tightly wrinkled again.

"Camp, division, this is not to give us a new battalion a little way to live!"

After listening to the telegram, Luo Cannon, who had a fiery personality, was the first to speak.

Although the others did not speak, it could be seen from the expressions on their faces that their thoughts were the same as Luo Dacang's, and they were all a little dissatisfied with the order of the division commander Wang Yaowu.

However, Yang Yun just stared, and Luo Cannon was like a deflated ball, drooping his head and not daring to make a sound......
