Chapter 34: Solid Town
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The mortar of the devil fiercely attacked and covered the infantry attack advance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, the left and right sides were almost unstoppable, and four more tanks appeared in the rear of the battlefield.
"Zhao Liu, withdraw it, move fast! There is an old crooked reconnaissance connection in the back. Chen Fei said.
"Commander, you go first, I'll withdraw immediately, hurry up Commander!" Zhao Liu pushed Chen Feidao.
"Okay, move fast!" Chen Fei looked back at Zhao Liudao.
Chen Fei led the guard company all the way back and ran towards the regiment headquarters.
"What about Chief of Staff?" The mouse asked suddenly.
"Ding San, quickly send someone to look for it, it's probably still on the battlefield." Chen Fei said.
Ding San took the two warriors and turned around to look for them.
"Captain! Head! Tang Bing ran over and shouted.
"All the town's set-up?" Chen Fei said.
"It's all right, you go back to the regiment headquarters first, and I'll pick up the battalions." Tang Bing said.
"Okay, move fast, the devil attacks quickly and quickly!" Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" Tang Bing turned around and ran to the forward position.
Chen flew to the regiment headquarters and immediately arranged for Niu Tian to arrange defense, this is a large family, due to the war, the family fled to Wuhan, after the regiment headquarters was stationed, the defense of the compound was strengthened, originally like this kind of large households are tall and sturdy, there are lookout posts at the four corners, it is to prevent bandits, and now it has become four machine gun positions, this kind of position has a good field of vision, the bunker is solid, and it can effectively kill the enemy, as long as the machine gun positions in these four corners are not hit by heavy artillery, it is difficult for people to attack the compound.
Each battalion has such compounds in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and they have also buried telephone lines, and Chen Fei wants to fight the devil in Guzhen.
As soon as Chen Fei retreated into the compound, there was a big explosion in the positions of each battalion after a while, which should be the grenades and explosives that were deployed after the retreat of the troops, blocking the Japanese attack after the explosion.
"Captain!" He Wenbing ran into the compound sweating profusely.
"Chief of Staff, you go to the communications company." Chen Fei glanced at He Wenbing.
"Ah, regiment commander, I am the chief of staff and should be on the front line." He Wenbing said.
"Obey orders!" Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" He Wenbing said.
"Da! Da! Da! "Bang! Bang! Bang! "The devils have already started to attack the town.
The four heavy machine guns of the Bison blocked the route of the Japanese attack into the town.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The devils are starting to blow up the wall," the Heavy prepares! "The Bison shouted at the LMG that the Bison had 8 LMG squads.
The devils scattered in several teams to attack, but they were all blocked by light machine guns, and the devils' grenadiers continued to fire at the machine gunners, and the heavy machine guns were also raised.
The old crooked reconnaissance company was an independent battalion behind the cover pad, and at this time, it was impossible to see that the bison was pressed and beaten, and began to disperse and attack the sneak attack devils in groups of three.
"Bison, let's withdraw, the tank will come soon, the perimeter will definitely not be able to hold, I'll cover, let's go!" Old crooked.
Taking advantage of the fact that the devils were a little chaotic, the bison and the old crooked began to retreat towards the regimental headquarters.
The old crooked gestured to each platoon, and began to lay dangerous mines, covering the retreat, and retreating while fighting.
Guzhen is also a big town, the streets and alleys are crisscrossed, and the conditions of the town's residents can be all green tile brick houses, which are relatively solid.
The independent battalion retreated back to the town, and the devils took the opportunity to attack it, but they were knocked down by the fighters hiding in the shadows, and they were blown up by dangerous thunder in all corners.
The devil's tank couldn't get in, so they could only surround the mayor for artillery bombardment first.
"Ding San, it's going to be dark soon, be careful of the devil's sneak attack and strengthen your defense. Rats notify the battalions! Chen Fei took the binoculars and looked at the situation outside, and said to Ding San and the mouse.
"Yes! Be! The two replied and went their separate ways.
"Little devil, I'll just guard the town and see how you attack, damn it!" Chen Fei said secretly.
The sky is getting darker, the shelling of the devils has stopped, the town is full of burning houses, and the people who have not evacuated are fighting the fire, hoping that they can escape this catastrophe.
Chen Fei sat at the regimental headquarters smoking a cigarette, thinking about the route that the enemy might attack at night.
"Report!" He Wenbing came in and said.
"Something? Chief of Staff Ho! Chen Fei said.
"Tuanza, the 5th theater wants a battle report, I informed them of the situation here." He Wenbing said.
"Sit, Chief of Staff, you fought bravely in today's battle." Chen Fei said.
He Wenbing scratched his scalp and said: "The first time I went to the battlefield, I didn't do well in many places, I hope the group can teach me more." ”
Seeing He Wenbing so modest, Chen Fei said: "It's okay, it's not easy to be so brave for the first time, the main thing is that there is no heavy artillery coming, some things can only be experienced on the battlefield, as a commander, the most important thing is to be steady, if you are in a mess, you will be defeated." ”
He Wenbing listened carefully, thinking about Chen Fei's words.
"The devils will definitely attack at night, but I don't know which direction it will come from, you will guard the communication squad for me and report the situation at any time, especially the current position of the 39th Army, we will have to defend it for a long time!" Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" He Wenbing got up and saluted, turned around and left.
"Mouse, have you counted today's casualties?" Chen Fei said.
"Not yet, probably more than 300 brothers, including the missing, should be all over town." Mouse Road.
"Report!" Bison shouted.
"Hmmm! Bison, what about casualties? Chen Fei said.
"One heavy machine gun was lost, and two light machine guns were lost." Bison Road.
"You are like this, rearrange this compound with the crooked reconnaissance company, and you are ready to defend it." Chen Fei said.
"Okay!" The buffalo turned and walked away.
"Oh, by the way, Mouse, how was the old gun?" Chen Fei said to the mouse.
"It's okay, I can't die, I was hit by a piece of shrapnel, in the abdomen, Doctor Sun said it's okay, his artillery company only has 6 mortars, all arranged in the backyard, the old crooked is in command, the grenadiers are scattered in the battalions, the situation is unknown." Mouse Road.
At this time, Lao Zhangtou came in with a big bowl of rice and said, "Sir, let's have some food!" ”
"Okay!" Chen Fei was hungry for a long time, took the rice, and ate it in a big gulp.
At four o'clock in the morning, "Tom! Tong! Tong! "The sound of mortar fire came in bursts.
Chen Fei jumped up and went outside, there was no artillery fire, and by the light of the fire, he saw that the yellow smoke was spreading in the town.
"Poison gas! Gas! Rats notify the battalions! Chen Fei shouted.
At this time, the ghostly devil wearing a poison gas mask slowly surrounded the town.
Liu Meng's battalion was the first to meet the enemy, because the independent regiment had suffered the loss of poison gas, knowing what to do, Liu Meng's soldiers covered their noses after wetting them with towels, plus the devil's poison gas was not very violent, and the soldiers were not very afraid of poison gas.
"Da! Da! Da! "Bang! Bang! Bang!"" Tong! Tong! Tong! ”
For a moment, the sound of gunfire was remembered in all directions.
The battalions occupied favorable terrain to block the Japanese army, and the devils wore gas masks and had inconvenient vision, and there was a chaotic battle, the devil squads scattered to attack, and several Japanese troops actually attacked the regimental headquarters.
Guzhen is not big or small, a typical Central Plains town, but the devils of more than 2,000 people entered the town is still too few, and the battle does not stop for a moment from early morning to noon the next day.
The devils fought with the independent regiment one by one, and the casualties were very large, and the area under their control was slowly shrinking.
The four battalions were basically concentrated around their respective headquarters, and the gunfire slowly intensified.
Chen Fei knew the current situation as soon as he heard it, "Inform the battalions, let's defend it!" Chen Fei said to the mouse.
There was also no place for the battalions to be transferred.
The devil is also difficult, the casualties in the early stage are huge, and now the defense around these compounds is strong, and there are hundreds of people on the defensive, and there are only a few hundred people attacking themselves, the tanks can't drive in, and the shelling can't play a big role, and the shelling is over, and then attacking is equal to white artillery bombardment, and attacking while shelling will hurt your own people.
It was only possible to make heavy machine guns attack with grenadiers.
Standing until 2 p.m., the devil could not attack.
The battalions began to shoot 3322, and only the devils hit as soon as they appeared, which became the training of the independent regiment with real guns and live ammunition. The grenadiers of the battalions also kept attacking the devil's light and heavy machine guns.
The commander of the Devil's Wing could only order a retreat, but surrounded several compounds, and at the same time reported to the brigade for tactical guidance.
"Notify the battalions, send a few teams to harass it, don't let the devil control the rhythm of the battlefield, damn, he can fight as much as he wants, no way!" Chen Fei gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes!" Mouse Road.
"Commander, let's attack too!" Niu Tiandao.
"Okay, you arrange it yourself, pull out the guard company, and discuss it with Ding San, he is a veteran!" Chen Fei said.
"Report to the group! The 59th Army will be able to go to the area of Guzhen tomorrow, and General Zhang Zizhong will call that he will cooperate with many troops to counterattack tomorrow, and ask our regiment to be ready! He Wenbing said.
"Okay! Got it! Chen Fei replied.
The gunfire rang out over the town without stopping for a moment.
The sky gradually darkened, but Chen Fei still ordered the troops to keep harassing the devils, so that the devils couldn't figure out what was going on in the town, so they could only defend everywhere.
In the middle of the night, the gunfire and explosions did not stop, and it was impossible for the devils to sneak attack, so they could only wait for reinforcements.
The battalions kept taking turns to attack in the dark, and the effect was very good, not only controlling the dynamics of the battlefield but also training the soldiers' ability to fight in the streets at night, so that the devils had no temper at all.
The independent regiment withstood the test in the war, and one regiment did not fall behind one wing, and it was also unique in the national army.
Chen Fei was eating the noodles sent by the old steamed bun at the regiment headquarters, "Report!" He Wenbing came in and said.
"Something?" Chen Fei glanced at him.
"Tuanza, I admire you very much and want to come and learn from you." He Wenbing said.
"Oh, how do you say?" Chen Fei said.
"Originally, our regiment was going to prevent the devils from sneaking up at night, but now we are attacking from all sides." He Wenbing said.
"Well, according to the battle scene changes with the change of the situation, to understand the situation of the devil's equipment and personnel, in the afternoon, the devil suffered heavy casualties, the number of combatants was greatly reduced, and the devil only has one wing, after several battles, about 2,500 people, we have the upper hand in terms of troops, and the devil's casualties are greater." Chen Fei looked at He Wenbing and said.
"Thank you for your advice!" He Wenbing said admiringly, and thought to himself: "My sister really introduced the right person, I originally thought that he was young and didn't have any great skills, it seems that he was wrong." ”
"Don't be modest, American schools must also attach importance to theoretical education, and you must teach more to the battalion and company commanders you know, such as drawing combat maps and sign language for night combat, and I will also learn it." Chen Fei said.
"Yes! I will definitely teach as much as I can. He Wenbing said.
"Okay, you go, contact Ding San, get used to the night battle with him, and tell the battalions to stop attacking at 5 o'clock and garrison!" Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" He Wenbing left happily.
The sky was bright, and the gunfire of the night stopped instantly.
The independent regiment took the opportunity to replenish ammunition, and the cooking squad puppet heated up the hot noodles when it was dark, so that the soldiers could be satisfied.
Chen Fei came to the communication company and saw Fang Min and said, "Is there any news about the 59th Army?" ”
"Yes! Arrived at Guzhen around 12 noon, and the specific attack time and other news. Fang Min said.
"Good!" Chen Fei said.
At 8 o'clock the reinforcements of the Japanese army arrived, another wing.
At 9 o'clock sharp, the Japanese artillery bombardment began, and the mountain artillery and mortars of the two wings added up to more than 60 pieces.
"Inform the battalions that they must withstand the first wave of the devil's charge, as long as they resist the first wave, they can stick to the devil and drag it until 12 o'clock." Chen Fei said to the mouse.
"Yes!" Mouse Road.
A full hour of shelling left the town in a mess.
As soon as the shelling stopped, the devils attacked from all directions, trying to take Guzhen in one fell swoop.
"Da! Da! Boom!"" Tong! Tong! Tong! "Bang! Bang! Bang! "The two armies began to fight each other in this hellish town.
