Chapter 223: Pressure

"Order the heavy artillery regiment to start shelling the two bases at 7:30, and the two regiments on the left and right will launch an attack as soon as the shelling stops." Chen Fei said to Chen Fang.

"Yes!" Chen Fang replied and immediately went to inform him.

Chen Fei looked at his watch, the second hand was running quickly, and the atmosphere in the headquarters suddenly became heavy.

Suddenly the whistling shells crossed the night sky and flew towards Miao Village, "Boom Boom Boom~" shells kept exploding in Miao Village, and the artillery scouts hiding on the edge of Miao Village kept calling for heavy artillery to adjust the shell to land through observation.

Song Meiling, who was at the command headquarters, listened to the roar, her heart was like a drum, and she felt breathless, she trembled and picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Chen Fei glanced at Song Meiling with his eyes, only to see that her face was pale, her body was slightly slanted, and she shook her head helplessly, I really don't know how to comfort her, this cannonball is only three miles away, if she is here, I am really afraid that she will not be able to get up from being scared.

As soon as the cannon stopped, murderous spirits erupted on the left and right sides of Miaocun, and the first and second regiments began to attack.

Chen Fei originally wanted to go to the front line to have a look, but Song Meiling was there, so he could only smoke at the headquarters and wait for the front to report.

Fifteen minutes later, news came from the front that the attack of the two regiments was blocked, and the heavy artillery had an effect on the devils, but as soon as the devils occupied it, they dug trench bunkers, probably to prevent heavy artillery, and now the attack was immediately blocked as soon as it began.

"Pull the three regiments up as well, and make every effort to compress the devil's position." Chen Fei thought for a while and said to Wang Liang.

"Yes!" Wang Liang replied and immediately went to inform him.

Another fifteen minutes, the regiments came to report, the casualties were a bit large, the attack did not have much effect, Chen Fei was stunned, now he couldn't care about Mrs. Jiang, and immediately said: "Madam, I have to go to the front, you must not leave the headquarters." ”

"Be careful, I won't leave." Song Meiling said.

Chen Fei nodded, and said to Chen Fang next to him: "Notify the attacking troops to stop the attack, and order the heavy artillery to shell in ten minutes, or two bases." “

"Yes!" Chen Fang replied and immediately went to inform him.

"Wang Liang, inform the artillery battalion, let's go up." Chen Fei said as he took the Thomson charge handed over by Zhang Yongsheng and walked out of the command headquarters. The two wings of the devil are about 6,000 people, and the temple village is stuffed to the brim, and the three regiments that attack are also about 6,000 people.

When Chen Fei arrived at the entrance of Miaocun, he heard heavy artillery whistling, and one shell after another bloomed in the center of Miaocun.

Chen Fei picked up the binoculars and took a closer look, the explosion of the cannonball shrouded the temple village in a cloud of dust and smoke, Chen Fei thought that such a high-intensity artillery bombardment did not collapse the devil, it seems that the devil came prepared.

Towards the end of the shelling, the first and second regiments crawled forward, ready to wait for the shelling to stop, jumped up and rushed into the temple village.

"Old gun, come here." Chen Fei said to the old gun behind him.

"Divisional Commander!" The old gun crawled over and said.

"At the beginning of the attack later, your cannon, give me an eye on the devil's firepower point, your support is very important." Chen Fei said.

"Don't worry, division commander, when did our old gun disappoint you, if only there was an infantry gun." Old guns.

"The devils don't have infantry artillery, only mortars······" Chen Fei looked at the old gun.

The old gun scratched his scalp and smirked.

The sound of artillery stopped, this time there was no shouting, the two regiments instantly entered the temple village, and the three regiments next to Chen Fei also jumped up and rushed towards the temple village. For a while, the sound of gunfire, explosions, and fighting resounded in the sky, and the two troops were fighting together at the same time.

The old gun was stupid, how could the troops be strangled together and still support, the old gun gritted his teeth and shouted: "On the artillery camp!" "He rushed up with his fighters to prepare for a close shelling.

"Divisional Commander!" Tang Bing ran over and said.

"There's nothing going on on the periphery, is it?" Chen Fei said.

"The wind is calm, division commander, if you don't bring Zhao Liutuan here and kill this devil in one fell swoop." Tang Bing said.

Chen Fei shook his head and said, "No, there must be a reserve army." ”

"Then I'll take the spy battalion up." Tang Bing said.

Chen Fei looked at Tang Bing and said, "Let's go together, and the teaching team will also be on board." After speaking, he rushed into the battlefield of Miaocun with a gun.

The devil's defensive position was shrinking a little bit, and Chen Fang ran over and shouted: "Division commander, division commander, another wing of devils is approaching Miao Village through Qianlong Bay, and Regiment Commander Zhao said whether to block it." ”

"You can block the attack, and at the same time order heavy artillery support." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Chen Fang replied and immediately notified him.

Chen Fei thought that the Fifth Regiment with heavy artillery support would definitely be able to stop the devils, and this was also the case.

In the heavy artillery position of Batu Village, Huang Shuitu immediately adjusted the artillery position after receiving the telegram and prepared to support the Fifth Regiment.

Suddenly, the guard post of the 6th Regiment of the Outer Guard Force spotted the devil and opened fire to stop the enemy.

When He Wenbin heard the gunshots, he was stunned, how could there be a devil here. Maybe the heavy artillery is being targeted by the devils.

"The correspondent immediately sent a report to the division commander that traces of devils had been found near the heavy artillery regiment, and they had been connected to the fire, the number of devils was unknown, and the heavy artillery regiment requested to be transferred." He Wenbin said to the correspondent.

"Yes!" The correspondent replied that he would immediately go to send the report.

When Chen Fei received the telegram, he was also stunned, how could there be devils there, it could be a small group of interspersed troops, without heavy artillery support, could Zhao Dadao hold his position? A litany of questions arose.

"Tang Bing, I have to go back to the headquarters immediately, there are devils on the side of the heavy artillery regiment." Chen Fei said to Tang Bing.

"What, what then?" Tang Bing was surprised.

"Originally, I wanted to compress the devils to attract more devils to come, we are not afraid of heavy artillery support, but now there is no heavy artillery support, the tactics are going to change, and the devils here will be annihilated, I will immediately send Zhao Liutuan up, it is dawn, and the devil plane will be even more difficult to deal with." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Tang Bing said.

"Chen Fang informed Zhao Dadao to withdraw immediately, move quickly!" Chen Fei said again.

"Yes!" Chen Fang was stunned for a moment, and replied reflexively.

After a while, Chen Fei hurriedly returned to the Dao headquarters and immediately ordered Zhao Liu to attack, and at the same time asked about the situation of the heavy artillery regiment.

He Wenbin's reply surprised Chen Fei, the devil is not a small force, but a brigade of nearly 1,000 people, and it is well-equipped, each person has a fancy submachine gun, and there are even more grenadiers, and almost every soldier uses a launch canister.

Chen Fei was stunned, where did such a force come from.

Song Meiling could see Chen Fei's strange appearance from Chen Fei's face.

"Chen Fei, what's going on?" Song Meiling said.

"Madame's heavy artillery regiment was attacked by an elite brigade of devils, and it can't support us, the battlefield has changed, and we will soon be at a disadvantage." Chen Fei said.

Song Meiling's face did not change: "You are the commander, listen to you." ”

"Can you let Madame withdraw from the battlefield first?" A man in black.

Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said, "No, a large number of devils have appeared silently on the side of the heavy artillery regiment, and there will be devils waiting for our lone troops to attack around here." ”

"Don't affect General Chen's command, I'm here." Song Meiling smiled.

Chen Fei can be regarded as seeing how powerful his wife is this time.

And Zhu San, who was in the intelligence office of Xudu County, was like an ant on a hot pot, and from time to time asked Shang Li, the head of the communications team next to him, if he had any telegrams from him, which made Shang Li very strange, but it was not easy to ask, after all, intelligence work was carried out in secret one-line contact.

The old steamed bun is not there, although Zhu San is steady, he can't help but feel anxious, after all, he has just taken up the intelligence work, and his ideas are not broad enough, and he does not have enough ideas. However, Zhu San made a decision, discussed with Sanmao, and decided to let Sanmao interfere with the hundreds of soldiers and guard battalions who were recuperating to support Miaocun.

Sanmao was so happy that he took the troops off without stopping.

In Miao Village, the Tang soldiers decided to give up the attack, because the troops really couldn't attack, and the center of Guizimiao Village built a deep main body circular position in a short period of time, which simply blocked the charge of the three regiments of the independent division, but they also suffered heavy casualties and could only defend to the death.

Tang Bing hurried to the command headquarters and saluted Chen Fei, when he saw it, there was an elegant lady looking at him, he was stunned, who is in the command center.

"There is something to say, this is Mrs. Jiang who came to express her condolences to our independent division." Chen Fei said.

"Ah, ma'am!" Tang Bing immediately saluted and said, "Tang Bing, the commander of the Second Brigade of the Independent Division, greets his wife. ”

Song Meiling nodded with a smile and said, "Brigade Commander Tang has worked hard!" ”

"This, that······" Tang Bing didn't know how to say it.

"Alright, let's talk about the battlefield." Chen Fei said.

"The troops have withdrawn, the devil's ring position, we can't attack it, the casualties are too great." Tang Bing said.

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, lit a cigarette, and pondered, and the command immediately quieted down, waiting for Chen Fei's order.

"General Chen, let's withdraw immediately, Madame's safety is the most important thing." A man in black said suddenly.

"yes!" Another man in black.

"Shut up! Don't disturb the division commander, and ask you to go out again! Wang Liang scolded loudly.

Several men in black immediately blushed, not expecting to be scolded by an adjutant.

"Wang Liang, ask Bison to send someone to pick up Zhao Dadao's regiment, all the retreating troops will build defensive positions here, and Tang Bing will arrange it." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The two replied at the same time.

"Chen Fang informed the engineer battalion to strengthen the position, move quickly!" Chen Fei said to Chen Fang.

"Yes!" Chen Fang replied.

Chen Fei turned around and smiled at Song Meiling and said, "Madam, I'm going to fight a blocking battle here, and let Madam see how our independent division killed the enemy bravely." ”

"Good, good." Song Meiling said unhurriedly.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Chen Fei looked at Song Meiling and said.

Song Meiling got up with a smile, patted the dust and smoke on Chen Fei's body and said, "This time, we can be regarded as living and dying together." ”

"Count!" Chen Fei also smiled.

Chen Fang hurriedly came in again and said: "Division commander, Chief of Staff He telegraphed, it was the devil airborne troops who attacked them, and some villagers saw the devils falling from the sky, but now with the assistance of Batu Village and the surrounding villagers, the situation is under control, although the heavy artillery has not been transferred, it is hidden, and it will not be discovered by the devil plane." ”

"Well, I know, call back, eliminate the devil as soon as possible at all costs, as long as there is heavy artillery, we can have the initiative." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Chen Fang replied, ready to leave.

"Wait, report to the Military Commission, the independent division has suffered heavy casualties in blocking the Japanese invaders in Miaocun, but I hope that the Military Commission can send another army to Qianlong Bay to cut off the wooden bridge over the Devil's River, so as to encircle and annihilate the three wings of the Devil's Army." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Chen Fang replied and went to send a report immediately.

"General Chen, do we have three wings in front of us?" An elderly man in black.

"yes, what's wrong?" Chen Fei said.

"Can this be stopped?" This man in black is human.

Chen Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are here, you will be fine, and the engineer battalion will strengthen the headquarters later." ”

Another man in black said, "General Chen can give me a few rifles, and we can also fight." ”

"Yes, yes." Several men in black said.

Chen Fei said: "There is no need for this, this is an independent division, since everyone is here, I can guarantee your safety." ”

"Commander, damn it, the devil is also tough······" Liu Meng shouted in, followed by Lao Gou and Tong Kai.

Several regiment commanders withdrew their troops to prepare to see Chen Fei's thoughts again, because the troops retreated, but the casualties were too great, and they didn't know how to fight next.

Everyone was stunned as soon as they entered, when did so many people come to the headquarters, Chen Fei immediately said: "Don't swear, Mrs. came to comfort us, madam, these three are the first head Zhao Fugui, the second head Liu Meng, and the third head Tong Kai." ”

Song Meiling got up and smiled slightly: "A few people have worked hard. ”

The three of them were stunned, but Tong Kai was still clever, and immediately saluted Song Meiling and said, "Madame, hard work!" At this time, the old dog and Liu Meng woke up and said, "Madame is hard, Madame is hard!" ”

"Go back and tell the soldiers, Mrs. is here, at the command headquarters, Mrs. is the representative of the chairman, on behalf of the country to express condolences to everyone, I hope everyone will show the courage to see death as home, and never let the devil take a step forward."

"Yes!" All three shouted at the same time.

Song Meiling and Chen Fei nodded at the same time.

Chen Fei said: "Don't stand stupidly, go back and arrange your positions, the devils can block the attack of three regiments in such a short time, in the temple village where there is no danger to defend, after the shelling of heavy artillery, now see if you can do it." ”

"Please rest assured, Mrs. and the division commander, you will not retreat!" Tong Kai shouted.

"Die and never retreat!" The old dog and Liu Meng also shouted at the same time.

After speaking, the three of them saluted Mrs. and Chen Fei, then turned around and went back.

Song Meiling turned her head sideways and said to Chen Fei: "Chen Fei, your subordinates are like a cloud, no wonder you have to be afraid of the devil's attack." ”

"Thank you, Madame, for the compliment, and never disappoint the principal and Madame." Chen Fei said in a deep voice.

Outside, the sky was getting brighter. "Madam, I haven't slept all night, do you want to take a rest, it is estimated that the devil's reinforcements are also about to arrive, take advantage of this gap ······" Chen Fei said to Song Meiling.

Song Meiling shook her hand and said, "No, no, don't worry about me, you just let it go." ”

Chen Fei nodded and didn't speak.

"Report!" Chen Fang came in and said, Chen Fei nodded.

"Division commander, the Military Commission has called, the two divisions of the Eighteenth Army have approached Qianlong Bay, and it is estimated that they will be able to arrive in the evening." Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei nodded again and said, "Got it!" ”

As soon as Chen Fang finished reporting, Zhao Dadao arrived, still panting, picked up Song Meiling's teacup on the table and drank it in a big gulp.

Chen Fei smiled bitterly and hurriedly said, "Commander Zhao Dadao of the Fifth Regiment, blocked the enemy near Qianlong Bay last night. ”

Song Meiling smiled but said nothing.

"Division commander, the devil is following over, it is estimated that there is more than one wing, plus the two wings in the early stage, I estimate that it is a temporary detachment." Zhao Dadao said.

"This is Mrs. Jiang, come to my teacher to condole, you just drank her tea." Chen Fei said with a smile.

"Ah~ah~ this, this ······" Zhao Dadao said with an embarrassed face. I don't know what to do.

"Head Zhao, don't mind, just a bowl of water." Song Meiling said with a smile.

"Divisional commander, this, this ······" Captain Zhao Dadao scratched his scalp and said.

"Don't hurry up and salute Madame~" Chen Fei said.

"Salute, Zhao Dadao of the Fifth Regiment of the Independent Division greets Madame!" Zhao Dadao said loudly.

"Zhao Tuanzi has worked hard." Song Meiling said.

"Madame is hard, Madame is hard!" Zhao Dadao hurriedly said.

The crowd laughed.

"Zhao Dadao, you go back, the engineer battalion may already be building fortifications for your regiment, and we are going to fight a blocking battle here." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Zhao Dadao replied and immediately turned around and fled.

Chen Fei looked at Zhao Dadao's back, thinking about it funny, Chen Fei actually didn't care about how many devils came, but the situation of the heavy artillery regiment, a thousand soldiers fell from the sky, which made Chen Fei feel very helpless, and at the same time he didn't expect that someone could come down from the sky, although Chief of Staff He said that he controlled the situation, Chen Fei was still very worried about whether the devil still had a backhand, and Zhu San's intelligence, which also put him under a lot of pressure.
