Fifty-sixth Siege
When Lao Gou's first battalion, guard company, and reconnaissance company retreated, Lao Gou still gritted his teeth and arranged a squad of covering fighters in the original first battalion position, hoping to give even a few minutes to the retreating troops. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The two battalions of the Tang soldiers retreated relatively smoothly, and the devils did not want to attack at all but contained them, so the losses of the Tang soldiers were not large, and the two battalions had nearly 500 soldiers entering the tunnel.
And the first battalion of the old dog withdrew into the tunnel, leaving less than 100 fighters.
The three battalions all entered the tunnel, Zhao Liu's independent battalion immediately connected with the following devils, and the Japanese army finally entered the interior of Taohua Village, and soon occupied the cliffs on both sides of the front line, and the devils from Yutou Beach also quickly broke through and began to attack the village.
Zhao Liu and other devils have been attacking for a long time, according to Zhao Liu, the heavy machine guns are almost moldy, to enter the village, you have to cross the river, there is a stone bridge on the river, Zhao Liu will not blow up, he hopes that the devils will attack the bridge, a heavy machine gun can block.
The devil was immediately beaten down from the stone bridge, and began to spread out the formation, crossing the river from different river sections, and the small river was more than 1 meter, but most of the devils were more than 160 points tall, just over the chest, and the devil's action was greatly discounted, and the action was slow, and he was hit by the independent battalion as a target.
In an instant, the clear water of the river was dyed red.
As soon as the devil commander saw that it was not possible to cross the river in this way, he immediately began artillery bombardment, supported by heavy machine guns, while the infantry stopped the attack and prepared for the boat attack.
At this time, the battle on the cliff position became more and more intense.
"I'll go to the cliff to command!" Tang Bing said to Chen Fei.
"Okay!" Chen Fei said.
Tang Bing ran up to the cliff to take a look, damn, the dense hillside is full of devils, how to defend it? I can only fight hard!
The devils don't seem to be moving very quickly, but there are many people, and the mortar support is strong, and many of them are already rushing to the cliff.
Several fighters with explosives bags began to charge suicidily.
The heavy machine gun and light machine gun fire are fierce but there are really many devils, thanks to the support of 5 mortars, Tang Bing shot at a communicator and said: "Hurry ~ inform the regiment commander, I can't hold it soon." ”
"Yes! The correspondent replied and immediately ran to the cliff.
When Chen Fei heard that the correspondent said that the cliff was fast and couldn't hold it, he was shocked and said: "Guo Liangkuai, ask Battalion Commander Liu Meng to support the position on the cliff." ”
Chen Fei could only increase his troops, hoping to drag it out until dark.
Chen Fei should be grateful that there is a small river in Peach Blossom Village, this small river blocked the devil's attack for a while, and when the devil was ready to attack again, it was dark.
The position on the cliff finally waited for Liu Meng's support due to the desperate resistance of the platoons, and there were only a dozen fighters left in the three platoons.
The devils on the cliff retreated, because the casualties were too great.
And the devils who attacked the village head-on began to charge as soon as it was dark and dawn.
Zhao Liu's fortifications were very strong, the mortars couldn't blow up, and the devils didn't care, anyway, they attacked with all their might under the cover of mortars.
Slowly, the commander of the devil realized that something was wrong, as if the casualties of the soldiers had increased, and the attack on the village had no effect, and immediately stopped the attack.
At this time, the devil's artillery occupied the forward position, and fired 75 mountain guns there, fortunately, the number of mountain guns sent to the cliff in the dark was small, and the shells flew everywhere in the dark, and at 8 o'clock, the devils in front of the village began to attack again, and the gunfire and artillery rang out again, Chen Fei sat at the battalion headquarters and smoked a cigarette thinking about how to withdraw the troops on the cliff.
"Report!" Liu Xiaomei came in and said.
"Why are you here? Urgent? Chen Fei said.
"Regiment commander, the Ministry of Military Affairs has called us to withdraw, and the Second Army still wants us to hold out until 12 o'clock." Liu Xiaomei said.
"What's going on with the Ministry of Military Affairs?" Chen Fei said.
"I don't know, it's from the Ministry of Military Affairs anyway." Liu Xiaomei said.
"What about the division headquarters and the military headquarters?" Chen Fei said.
"I'll tell you to do it!" Liu Xiaomei said.
"Ah, look at it? That's the order? Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "I know, you don't want to enter the battlefield, can you ask the correspondent to understand something?" You are important. ”
"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei said.
"Then how did the regiment commander call back?" Liu Xiaomei said again.
"Call back? The Independent Regiment was besieged by the Japanese army yesterday, and the fierce fighting never stopped, and the troops will find a way to break out after 12 o'clock. Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei turned around and left.
Chen Fei is now anxious, hoping that time will pass quickly.
At this time, the sound of gunfire rang out again from the cliff position.
"!" Chen Fei cursed, picked up his gun and ran out of the camp headquarters to the cliff.
"How's Tang Bing doing?" Chen Fei said.
"The enemy doesn't know the situation above, and he attacks harassmently." Tang Bing said.
"We must hold out until 12 o'clock, and then leave the blocking troops to withdraw." Chen Fei said.
"I'm not worried about leaving the troops, if I am captured alive, the tunnel will be leaked." Tang Bing said.
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't reach this floor.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Chen Fei said.
"Okay!" Tang Bing looked at Chen Fei and replied.
The night battle in Taohua Village has not stopped, and Zhao Liu's blocking position has also played the characteristics of the Germans, which is strong and reliable.
Each fixed firing hole has a light machine gun group, an independent battalion and a heavy machine gun company, there are as many as 15 light machine guns combined, frontal fire, side fire, cross fire, the small peach blossom village seems to be a huge pillbox at night.
The commander of the devil shook his head, such firepower, without the cover of artillery fire, just relying on the infantry charge is not looking for death.
After discussing it, several devil commanders were still ready to attack again, because the devils didn't have much time, and if it took a long time, the Second Army would definitely run away.
At ten o'clock, the devil suddenly strengthened the heavy artillery, and a variety of artillery fire flew overwhelmingly towards the village.
The devils on the attacking cliff also shelled at the same time.
Although the artillery fire was not too accurate, the momentum was really great, and it seemed that the end of the century was coming.
Separate battalions and Bison heavy machine-gun batteries held out under artillery fire.
And Liu Meng's second battalion on the cliff was even more difficult, hiding in the pit and resigning himself to fate.
As soon as the 40-minute shelling stopped, a large number of devil infantry appeared on the cliff and in front of the village, and the Japanese army wanted to occupy Taohua Village in one fell swoop.
Chen Fei and Guo Liang hid in the semi-tunnel fortifications on the left side of the village, and as soon as the cannon stopped, Chen Fei looked up, and under the fire of several burning trees in front of him, he saw that the devil infantry began to attack in groups, and there was no formation at all.
"Hit!" Chen Fei shouted.
For a time, rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns fired together, and one after another ballistics shot out red light and shot at the devil.
The position on the cliff also opened fire at the same time, 5 mortars began to fire, strongly supporting the position, and the two heavy machine guns on the left and right also fired, so that the devils turned on their backs and rolled down the mountain. Four light machine guns effectively blocked the mountain path, preventing a single devil from crossing the line of attack of the independent regiment.
As the minutes passed, the battle in Peach Blossom Village became more and more intense. In the marching ranks of the Second Army, General Sun Lianzhong rode a horse and listened to the report of the communicator.
"Good, good, really worthy of being the elite of the Central Army, report to the Military Commission, and commend the independent regiment."
General Sun Lianzhong said again: "The troops speed up. ”
In a certain apartment in the middle of the mountains in Chongqing, Lieutenant Colonel He Wenjuan, the confidential secretary of the chairman, was so anxious that he wanted to go to the committee again and again to plead for intercession, hoping to make the independent regiment retreat, but he still restrained himself.
At this time, a guard officer sent a telegram from the Second Army, and He Wenjuan asked, "What is the situation with the Independent Regiment?" ”
The guard handed over the telegram and reported: "See for yourself." ”
"I'm going to deliver a telegram, and I'm waiting for news from the Second Army." He Wenjuan said.
He Wenjuan thought to herself, no matter what, she had to plead with the commission to let the independent regiment withdraw quickly.
The battle in Peach Blossom Village was raging, Chen Fei gritted his teeth and persevered, and the frontal firepower of the independent battalion was being pulled out by the devils one by one.
On several occasions, the devils stormed the village, but the seriously wounded pulled the explosives and killed the enemy to keep their positions.
And the devils on the cliff suddenly stopped attacking, because the devil's casualties were too large, this blind attack would only increase the casualties, so they could only give up the attack and wait for dawn to fight again.
Tang Bing looked at his watch and said: "Liu Meng left a platoon of soldiers and the rest of them withdraw, now there is still half an hour until 12 o'clock, and when the time comes, I will take the soldiers down." ”
"No, I'll stay, you go, go quickly, I'll hold on until 12 o'clock, rest assured." Liu Meng pushed Tang Bingdao.
Tang Bing looked at Liu Meng and didn't talk nonsense, and retreated with the soldiers, leaving only one platoon to prevent the devils from harassing him.
When Chen Fei was fighting hard, Zhao Liu ran over: "Regiment leader, there is still half an hour, you withdraw first, I will enter the tunnel on time." ”
"Where's Tang Bing!" Chen Fei turned around and said.
"It's also being withdrawn, and it seems that the top is not fighting." Zhao Liudao.
", thank goodness we're going to hold on a little bit more." Chen Fei said.
"Let's go, Commander, I'm not worried that you're here." Zhao Liudao.
"No, now the devil is entangled with us, and everyone can't retreat at all, so let's fight him like this." Chen Fei said.
"Ah, counter-charge, how do you fight this?" Zhao Liudao.
"Guo Liang, tell the old gun to prepare 5 shells per gun, move quickly, enter the tunnel after the fight, go quickly!" Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei looked at his watch and said, "Tell everyone to prepare, the counter-charge will begin, and the heavy machine gun casualties will be transferred into the tunnel immediately." ”
"Yes!" Zhao Liu turned around and arranged.
After a while, suddenly the mortar of the old gun entered the devil charge formation. A series of explosions stunned the devil. Just after the five shells, a large number of grenades flew out of the village, and the devils who exploded immediately and immediately exploded could not distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Suddenly there were cries of killing, and the independent battalion suddenly launched a counter-charge.
Ten light machine guns opened their way and slaughtered the devils. The commander of the devil was stunned, and the Chinese army charged, thinking that the independent regiment was going to start breaking through, and immediately ordered all the infantry to retreat and occupy the main road, so as not to let the independent regiment rush over. The independent battalion rushed to the river and immediately began to return to the defense.
Chen Fei looked at the time: 12:10.
"Withdraw, withdraw, Zhao Liu left people to plant mines and explosives, and blew up the village for us." Chen Fei said.
"Understood!" Zhao Liudao.
Chen Fei withdrew into the tunnel with the soldiers.
"I'm in a hurry, I'm about to go out to find you." Tang Bing said.
"All the cliffs have been removed?" Chen Fei said.
"It's all taken down, and all the mines have been laid, don't worry." Tang Bing said.
After a while, Zhao Liu withdrew in.
When Chen Fei saw Zhao Liu coming in, his heart relaxed.
In 20 minutes, the commander of the devils found that the Chinese army had not attacked, and immediately ordered the infantry to start a tentative attack.
Along the way, there was no Zhina army to stop them, and the devils began to attack the village in a big way, and a large number of devils poured into the village, looking for the enemy everywhere.
Suddenly, a devil stepped on a mine, and it exploded in an instant.
A large number of explosives buried by Zhao Liu exploded continuously, destroying all the villages in an instant.
The commander of the devils in the rear picked up the binoculars, only to see that the village was covered in a sea of fire.
