1008. The High Ann Tug of War

In the winter night, a group of fellow villagers and old brothers, around the fire pit, drank spirits, ate spicy dishes, and spoke in the country accent, talking about the interesting things in the former porter team, how pleasant.

In fact, there are some troubles that have been said several times, but every time I talk about them, everyone is so happy that they never get tired of talking about it.

It is also at this time that everyone can also talk about the troubles of Sangou back then, and even make fun of him, at this time, there is no official position, only the same equal brothers.

It's not that Sangou has any official authority or any official shelf, in fact, Sangou is also a very peaceful person on weekdays, and even amiable like a brother next door, walking in the crowd of soldiers, it is almost impossible to tell who is who, extremely ordinary.

But every time at a critical moment, Sangou's eyes and even his body will burst out with an irresistible power, the kind of self-sacrificing, the kind of resolute look that cannot be opposed, which makes people surrender involuntarily.

Perhaps, this is the so-called charisma.

……

On March 28, the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), the main force of the 74th Army rushed to Gao'an one after another, and the 57th Division arrived, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Japanese army, and immediately launched a counterattack.

Army Commander Yu Jishi ordered the 51st Division to counterattack according to the established route, first attract the attention of the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield, and wait until the 57th Division returned to the flank of the Japanese army, and the two divisions counterattacked together.

The route given to the two regiments of the 153rd Brigade is that the line from Lianhua Mountain to Sigong Mountain is almost the same as the original route, and it is better to fight the route and position that everyone is familiar with.

In the early morning of the 29th, when the 57th and 58th Divisions moved to the established position, the 51st Division took the lead in attacking.

The Japanese army waited all night last night, but did not wait for the night attack of the Chinese army, and tonight they were a little tired, thinking that the Chinese army under their defeat did not dare to launch another night attack.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese army was false and real, and it really launched a night attack tonight, so the three battalions of Sangou and their three battalions were progressing very smoothly, and they quickly broke through the forward positions of the Japanese army in front, and swept all the way in the back.

Just as the Japanese army organized its forces to defend the front, the flank was hit by unprecedented heavy losses, and the 57th Division of the 74th Army struck fiercely, and the whole division attacked suddenly, almost cutting off the Japanese 111th Brigade.

At night, even if the Japanese constantly hit the sky with flares, they still did not dare to use aircraft artillery, and at this time, even during the day, the Japanese army did not dare, because the Chinese and Japanese armies were already killed together.

On the contrary, the Japanese tanks, whether they were going to attack or retreat, were mobilized, turned on their headlights, flaunted their might at the Chinese army, and crushed them.

If the Japanese tanks didn't turn on the lights, it would be better to say that if the lights were turned on at night, wouldn't it give the Chinese army two big eyes flickering, and if you don't hit your eyes, who else will you hit?

Seeing this, Sangou immediately called Xiucai of the Seventh Company to organize excellent shooters to aim at the tank lights of the Japanese army.

Blind tanks, in the dark, either roll over in trenches, or they don't dare to run around, for fear of falling into a pit, after all, on the battlefield, there are trenches and craters everywhere.

If the tank does not move, it will be easy to be destroyed, and the Chinese army took advantage of this opportunity, and the demomen went around the blind spot of the tank and blew them up.

When the Japanese army lost its planes, artillery, and even tanks, now many positions are close to each other, and only some core positions are still being held by the Japanese army.

After the Japanese army loses its heavy weapons, their strength will be greatly reduced, of course, this is for elite troops such as the 74th Army.

Now there are almost more than 20,000 people in the two divisions of the 74th Army, while the Japanese army has only one brigade and about 10,000 people, and the ratio of numbers is 2:1.

Once the 74th Army is allowed to engage in short-handed combat, even if the number of people is 1:1, it will not be much afraid, not to mention that there are twice as many people, plus night combat and close combat is what the Chinese army is good at.

Therefore, the 111th Brigade of the Japanese Army, after struggling to support until the second half of the night, could not bear it anymore and had to withdraw from the battlefield and withdraw to the east of the first line of Xiangfuguan and Sigong Mountain, restoring the situation of the day before yesterday.

Originally, the three dogs wanted to take advantage of the victory to expand the results, but it seemed to have a general effect, after all, the strength of the two sides was equal, and the Chinese army fought for most of the night before driving the Japanese army out of Gao'an, and if it continued, it may be difficult to continue.

It's like two professional fighters fighting for 12 rounds, and when they reach the last few rounds, they don't have any strength, and they are all holding on in one breath.

Now that Gao'an has been recovered anyway and the task is completed, a large number of troops are not very willing to take a step forward, in case this breath cannot be received, the consequences will be very serious.

Because it will soon be daytime, the day is the world of the Japanese army, and after the ready-made positions of the line of Xiangfuguan, there will not be so many positions to go out.

Once in the field, caught by Japanese planes and artillery, it will be heavy casualties, and if the 111 Brigade comes back to the carbine, it is estimated that the entire 74th Army will be eaten by others.

So now, it is better to be steady, hurry up and seize the positions left by the Japanese army, and rush to repair and strengthen them, so as to prepare for the steel storm of aircraft artillery that will arrive tomorrow.

Therefore, the three dogs repeated what they had done the night before, and the soldiers of the three battalions were already familiar with it, plus they were all in the same position as before, and they immediately entered the state as soon as they started their work.

These positions are also very interesting, one time they fell into the hands of the Japanese army and became the protector of the Japanese army, and the other time they returned to the hands of the Chinese army, and now they have become the protector of the Chinese army.

Sangou continued to put the 8th and 9th companies on the forward positions, the machine gun company was hidden in the hilly hills, and the 7th company was used as a reserve for mobile use.

Now that the Seventh Company has nothing to do, then ask the Seventh Company to send a few small detachments to attack and harass the Japanese army, anyway, they can't let the devils rest and breathe so comfortably.

Wu Dingli, the platoon commander of the Seventh Company, brought with him the midshipman Wang Xinjia and a machine gun team, and everyone took advantage of the sound of guns everywhere to touch the front of the temporary position of the Japanese army.

One will fire a few shots here, and the other will fan the flames, only to make the devils unbearable, and send soldiers and horses to chase Wu Dingli and them.

Wu Dingli and they naturally won't let the devils chase them, there are few people and they are flexible, in the dark night, they will slip away after a while, the devils can't catch them, and they see that the Chinese army is just attacking and harassing, so they simply don't care.

The devil put on a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and ignored the attacks of several small detachments of the Chinese army.

Soon it was dawn, and Sangou did not sleep all night, inspecting the fortifications of the positions everywhere, and the situation of the fortifications today was very satisfactory, mainly because during the day yesterday, these positions, which were originally occupied by the Japanese army, were not bombarded by aircraft and artillery.

The position is relatively complete, and it has also been repaired and reinforced by the Japanese army, and now as long as the hiding holes and bunkers are reinforced, it is almost enough.
