433. Northeast Man
Just when the second platoon was pressed into the first position by the mortar of the devil, the sound of mortars suddenly sounded on the main position of the general's cave.
It's his own artillery, Niu Gu saw that the devil was so well prepared this time, and brought mortars to attack the position of the second platoon of the second platoon.
Although the position was preserved, the disadvantage of heavy firepower made the second platoon very passive, and if it continued to fight like this, the second platoon would be killed and injured by the devil's mortar.
In order to avoid a large number of casualties, Niu Gu assigned Da Shu to pull the mortars of the machine gun company to the main position of the General Cave, and give the mortar position of the devils at the foot of the mountain a surprise attack.
Seeing that the second company was fighting so happily, the big potato was about to suffocate, and after hearing the order, he was so happy that he immediately pulled the team and rushed to the mortar position preset in the general's cave.
Although Baohua Mountain does not have such a genius gunner as a bamboo pole, there are still a few veterans who have shot artillery, and in order to be accurate, they measured the distance in the preset position in advance and made a record.
Therefore, the technical almost, it can still be compensated for by adequate preparations, when the mortars of Baohua Mountain sounded, the mortar positions of the devils under the mountain were blown up in pieces, although it is not certain that all the mortars of the devils were destroyed, but at least it caused a lot of casualties among the devil mortars.
As soon as the devil's mortar was blown up, the next target of the defenders' mortar was the 92 heavy machine position on the side of the devil's mountain.
Originally, in the main position of the General Cave, and even on the position on the ridge on the right, light and heavy machine guns could be used to suppress the machine guns of the devils, but he was afraid of the mortars of the devils, and the commander of the second company, Zhou Guangcui, never dared to use the machine guns of these two positions.
……
After several attacks during the day, the devils did not get any advantage, but suffered blows of varying degrees, especially heavy firepower losses.
Now that night is coming, the devil is not good at night fighting, so he temporarily withdraws his troops, retreats to a high ground at the bottom of the mountain, and holds the village, preparing to fight again the next day.
In the evening, Niu Gu, Chen Lisheng, Zhou Guangcui and others held a meeting together, focusing on whether to attack devils at night? Also, regardless of whether the night attack is a night attack or not, it is necessary to guard against the night attack of the devil on Baohua Mountain.
It's best to be able to ambush the devils who attack at night, and at the same time send a small group of people to sneak attack the devils, no matter whether you can do it or not, it's worth invading.
So, Niu Gu asked the guard company of Dawei to send several groups of men and horses to lurk around the devil's camp, as long as the devil showed signs of coming out to attack at night, don't startle the snake first, but send the information out as soon as possible and send it to the brigade headquarters.
Niu Gu then mobilized the reserve and the second company, as well as the two platoons of the first company, and guarded the four routes around the Baohua Mountain brigade headquarters, all of which entered the concealed department, and slept in uniform first, but set up double posts, light and dark sentinels, chief officers and other intelligence and orders.
And a platoon, followed by the platoon commander Shan Hongpei, and attacked the devils at night.
Shan Hongpei, a native of Suihua, Heilongjiang, a big man in Northeast China, was previously a platoon commander under General Huo Shouyi Huo of the 112th Division of the Northeast Army.
After Shan Hongpei followed the 112th Division in the Battle of Songhu, he rushed to the aid of Jiangyin, defended Jiangyin for several months, and suffered heavy losses to thousands of Japanese troops, but the 112th Division itself also suffered heavy casualties, and after retreating to Nanjing, it continued to defend Nanjing.
Who said that the Northeast Army is all a fleeing army? In the face of the superior Japanese army, the 112th Division not only did not escape, but went forward in the face of difficulties, and fought vicious and bloody battles with devils.
After the fall of Nanjing, Shan Hongpei was scattered, and he escaped from the pile of dead people in Nanjing City, where the Japanese army was heavily armed.
Having fought in the area of Jiangyin Zhenjiang, Shan Hongpei was more familiar with the terrain of Baohua Mountain, and survived in the surrounding area, and later heard that there were Chinese troops in Baohua Mountain, so he came here.
By chance, that is, on the training ground, Niu Gu saw Shan Hongpei's solid basic skills and outstanding command and organization skills, his eyes lit up, and he specially found it, and the two of them immediately became friends in a pair of pants after a meal.
Niu Gu gave the main platoon of the main company of the main company that he was also the company commander to Shan Hongpei, and let him be the platoon commander, which is equivalent to the descendant of the lineage, which is enough to see the trust in him, which can be seen.
This main platoon, most of them are veterans, even if they are recruits, they are also selected with good quality, and this platoon is usually the treasure of Baohua Mountain, and it is rarely used for use.
But this made Shan Hongpei so anxious that he screamed, watching the brothers of the second company in front of him play so happily, and his own row of people squatted in the nest all day long to eat and drink for nothing, which was too unusual.
Seeing that Shan Hongpei was so uncomfortable, Niu Gu finally let the hungry wolf out this time, and taught him alone, and the two exchanged some tactics before they could rest assured and let Shan Hongpei fight.
Shan Hongpei, who came from Heilongjiang, an extremely cold region, was so excited that he took off his coat and took his brothers on the journey of killing devils.
This is the coldest time in the area, and in the cold winter, and at night, the temperature drops so much that it is estimated to be below zero, and some snowflakes are floating in the sky.
And Shan Hongpei didn't feel cold at all, wearing single clothes, and even his blood was boiling, it was really not easy to think about it, and it was finally time to avenge those dead Northeast brothers.
Back then, as soon as Shan Hongpei joined Zhang Shaoshuai's Northeast Army, he encountered the national humiliation of 918, and he was humiliated and retreated from the customs without firing a shot.
Later, after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Shaoshuai was placed under house arrest, and the entire Northeast Army was like losing its backbone.
The Northeast Army was charged with a "runaway army" and a "rebel army," and the divided Northeast Army was like a rat crossing the street, no matter where it went, it was not welcomed, and it was humiliated in front of it from time to time.
Those are all matters decided by the people at the top, what is the matter with the officers and soldiers at the bottom? Can we not carry out the order? We're just a pawn, just a pawn, and we can't let our soldiers take the blame for those.
But people don't care, you Northeast Army officials can't see it, and it is estimated that they don't dare to say it to your face when they see it, so they just say that you are small soldiers.
They are all men who are soldiers, they are all young people with strong blood, and when they are talked too much, they will be angry and do it, but this time, the people who are punished are often Northeast people, and this is not allowed to live.
Fighting for external gas externally, fighting for internal gas internally, but unfortunately the Northeast Army did not compete for anger before. If you want to save face, you have to go to the battlefield to ask for it, and you have nothing to fight with your compatriots.
Therefore, when the Battle of Shanghai was finally fought on August 13, most of the Northeast Army asked for help, but they rarely had the opportunity to go to the front line and fight for themselves.
The 112th Division also got an opportunity to fight at the most urgent time of the Battle of Songhu and went to Jiangyin to defend the throat of the Yangtze River and the throat of the capital Nanjing.
Under the leadership of General Huo, the 112th Division sang "On the Songhua River", while shedding tears, while rushing towards the devils, going forward and successively, and finally played the bloody nature of the Northeast Army and fought for a breath.
