1195. Seven Consecutive Heavy Losses
When Xia Chen was chasing and killing the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the 217th Wing of the Japanese Army, Tanaka Shaozo, and the entire headquarters, the three dogs had already rushed to the top of the mountain of Phoenix Ridge, and were hurriedly deploying troops to destroy the remnants of the enemy, identify the Japanese command and pursue it.
Sangou suddenly heard the sound of a mid-formal rifle and a southern fourteen pistol at the foot of the mountain near the direction of Sixi in Phoenix Ridge, and immediately sensed the problem here.
Sangou immediately ordered the herald to ask the three company commanders, who else was missing, and who was shooting at the foot of this mountain? At the same time, let the nearest unit, Wang Weidong, deputy company commander of the machine gun company and platoon commander of the third platoon, take a squad of people down to search and respond.
The words of the herald came up quickly, and the platoon commanders of each unit except for Yang Chengzu of the Eighth Company were injured, the other platoon commanders, that is, Xia Chen, were gone, and the entire second platoon of the Seventh Company was also gone.
As for the squad leaders, the losses are too much, and some entire squads have been sacrificed, and every way is counted. Some people also reacted to the heralds, and they saw that Company Commander Xia took the lead in attacking Phoenix Ridge with the second platoon, and then disappeared.
That should be Xia Chen, Sangou was suddenly surprised and delighted, this Xia Chen, since the Nanjing Breakout followed him, he was a fierce general who charged ahead, and at this time, it was estimated that it was because he saw the commander of the Japanese army that he broke away from the large army to pursue him.
But at the same time, this Phoenix Ridge is close to Sixi, which is the base camp of the Japanese army, but it is careless, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the siege of devils, and he and the three dogs dare not easily kill it now.
Since it was Xia Chen, Sangou immediately asked Wu Dingli, the commander of the seventh company, to bring more grenadiers and light machine gun grenades, etc., to go down to pick up Xia Chen and Wang Weidong, and be sure to get in touch with them.
By the time Wang Weidong arrived at the hill near Chen Village, he was already a step late, and he saw the devils fighting around the brothers of the second platoon of the seventh company on the top of the mountain.
Wang Weidong, who was in a hurry, had already shot before he reached the attack distance, thinking that he wanted to buy some time as soon as possible and attract the attention of the devil.
But the Japanese only symbolically blocked Wang Weidong and them, and when they saw that the Chinese soldiers on the top of the hill were annihilated, they pulled up their troops and retreated in the direction of Sixi.
Wang Weidong saw that there were a large number of devils, and he only had a machine gun company and a heavy machine gun platoon under his command, which was temporarily converted into an infantry platoon, so he did not dare to go forward to pursue, but immediately led people to rush up the hill.
When Wang Weidong rushed up the mountain bag, the scene was a mess, more than a dozen brothers in the second row were lying on the mountain bag, all of them were bloody, obviously bayonet wounds.
Wang Weidong immediately ordered some of his subordinates to be on guard, and the rest of the people were rescued immediately, but most of the second-row brothers had already been martyred.
Wang Weidong hugged Xia Chen, who was full of blood holes, his body was like the clothes on his body, hanging like a tattered rag, and lying on Wang Weidong's arm softly.
Wang Weidong didn't have time to be sad, touched Xia Chen's nose, as if there was still a trace of heat coming out, and immediately shouted, "Health soldiers, health soldiers." ”
But the heavy machine-gun platoon of a machine gun company is now temporarily organized into an infantry platoon, and it is attacking Phoenix Ridge with all its might.
Everyone hurriedly flattened Xia Chen, took out all the first-aid kits on their bodies, tore off Xia Chen's clothes, sprinkled white medicine to stop bleeding on the places covered with bayonet holes, and wrapped them in first-aid kits.
At this time, Wu Dingli, the commander of the seventh company, came up, and when he saw it, he immediately pounced, grabbed Xia Chen's hand, and shouted loudly: "Xia Chen, hold on, you hold it for me, I am Wu Dingli, we are here to save you." ”
The health soldiers of the Seventh Company rushed over from Phoenix Ridge at this moment, but he only had some hemostatic cotton wool, white medicine and hemostatic injections on his body, and when he saw that Xia Chen's wounds had been bandaged, he even took several hemostatic injections.
Fortunately, the bayonet wound was not a bullet wound, the wound was small, the amount of bleeding was not very large, and as long as it did not hurt fatal internal organs, there was still a chance to survive.
Hearing that Xia Chen was seriously injured, Sangou sighed in his heart, and immediately rushed over with the monk who was the captain of the battalion health team, and the monk came over to grab Xia Chen's pulse for a while, and couldn't help but darken his face.
Xia Chen's pulse is very weak now, and it is very chaotic, his face is pale, obviously he has lost too much blood and is exhausted, and if he does not transfuse and treat in time, he is afraid that it will be difficult to support it.
The monk turned out a red pill, crushed it, opened Xia Chen's mouth, fed it, and then called the stretcher team to prepare, and immediately had to send it to the field hospital in the rear, preferably Yang Muhua's 51st Division Field Hospital.
After all, there are their own people over there, and they can do their best to save Xia Chen as soon as possible, Sangou immediately took out a pen and paper, and hurriedly wrote a note and handed it to the two soldiers.
These two soldiers belong to the seventh company, and they have just made a stretcher with two wooden sticks and leggings, and are ready to carry Xia Chen away and send him to the field hospital or the health center of the regiment headquarters to pick up Xia Chen's life first.
The three dogs asked the monk to go with him, and there was a good response on the way, the monk didn't answer now, he was changing his body and steaming, using internal force with both hands, to push Xia Chen and hold it, hoping to continue his life for a while.
……
The Seventh Company has now lost a deputy company commander and all the soldiers of the second platoon, which is considered the company with the greatest loss, plus the beard and the soldiers of the third platoon that were lost before, it has already lost two whole platoons of people.
Combined with the attrition of continuous operations, the seven companies had four platoons and one company headquarters, and the reinforced company, which originally had a total of more than 200 people, now has less than 60 people left.
Sangou took the Seventh Company with him, combined it with the battalion headquarters, and temporarily organized it into a new infantry company, which was less than a hundred people, commanded by Wu Dingli, and Sangou himself only took a guard squad with Xiucai to continue to command the battle.
The Eighth and Ninth Companies are also suffering a lot of losses now, and dozens of seriously wounded people have already been sent down to Phoenix Ridge just now, and the casualty figures have not yet been fully counted, because there are still troops in the process of clearing and exterminating the deserters of the Japanese army.
A large number of Japanese troops are surrendering, this is the first time since the battle between Sangou and the Japanese army, even in the fierce battle in Wanjialing before, a very small number of devils surrendered.
Perhaps the 34th Division was a reserve unit that had not been formed for a long time, but so was the 106th Division, but the 106th Division was formed in Kumamoto's reserve.
The 106th Division is the reserve unit of the 6th Division, one of the most elite divisions of the Japanese army.
At that time, the 106th Division was only surrounded and annihilated by an incompetent division commander, Junichiro Matsuura, and now I heard that Matsuura was finally dismissed from his post and returned to the Japanese reserve to retire.
The current 34th Division also encountered the same predicament in Wanjialing, and was also brought to a desperate situation by an incompetent division commander.
Now most of the soldiers of the Japanese army have not eaten for two days, and they have not slept for two days and two nights.
