Chapter Ninety-Three: Consultation
"The independent regiment takes the lead, the first and second regiments follow up, the directly subordinate troops are in the middle, and the third regiment is finally with Lao Zhangtou's baggage, don't go to the old steamed buns, stay behind." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Fei said.
"Okay, I'll take care of the house." Old steamed bun said.
Everyone saluted Chen Fei and went back to prepare for the pull.
The little fox ran in and said, "Brigade Commander, Deputy Brigade Commander Tang wants me to be his adjutant." ”
"Okay, it's rare for Old Tang to take a fancy to you, go, be smart, Deputy Brigade Commander Tang is a good person, understand?" Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" The little fox replied, saluted Chen Fei and turned around and left.
Chen Fei also likes this clever guy, but Old Tang has taken a fancy to it, if he doesn't die, then the little fox will definitely have a good future.
Chen Fei stood outside the fortifications and watched the group of soldiers set off, and he was very emotional in his heart, not knowing how many soldiers could not come back.
The soldiers and commanders who passed by saw Chen Fei saluting Chen Fei one after another, and passed quickly.
The old steamed bun walked over, and Chen Fei said, "The people who stayed have been arranged." ”
"Well, the veterans left more than 100 people, plus more than 300 wounded, more than 500 people are enough." Old steamed bun said.
"Okay, by the way, the disabled brothers have to arrange their future lives." Chen Fei said.
"Well, it's all arranged, some took the money and went home, and some thanks to the help of Boss Lu in Chongqing, many brothers were arranged to work." Old steamed bun said.
Chen Fei nodded and said, "We can't let the brothers feel cold, the country can't arrange it, we will arrange it ourselves." ”
The old steamed bun also nodded, and at this time, Sanmao pulled a donkey cart and said to Chen Fei: "Brigade commander, there is a car." ”
Chen Fei looked at it and said, "Why don't you give it to Lao Zhangtou and use it?" ”
"This is a donkey cart arranged for our brigade headquarters, and it was given by Lao Zhangtou." Sanmao Road.
"Damn, this is obviously for the communications department, they have so much equipment." Chen Fei said with a smile.
"I went just now, Liu Xiaomei said no." Sanmao Road.
"Go, give it to them, I'm not old enough to use a car as soon as I go out." Chen Fei said.
Sanmao scratched his scalp and left, but Ding San ran over and said to Sanmao: "Let the communication office install the equipment, we also have something to install." ”
Sanmao nodded and said, "The brigade commander won't scold, right?" ”
Ding San smiled and said, "Scolding a fart, are you kid so scared?" ”
Both smiled at the same time.
"Old steamed buns, then we'll go." Chen Fei said to the old steamed bun.
"Brigade commander, safety is still the most important thing." Old steamed bun said.
"Okay, I see." Chen Fei immediately took Ding San and the guard company to follow the troops.
After a continuous march, the troops finally reached the outskirts of Tongshan Town in the evening of the next day. The cannon sound in the distance continued, and it was supposed that there was a fierce exchange of fire with the devils. As soon as Chen Fei arrived, he immediately sent a reconnaissance company with watermelon to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, and told Liu Xiaomei that our brigade had arrived at the outskirts of Tongshan Town, and asked him to contact the Military Commission, and it was best to directly contact the besieged Chinese military police.
"Brigade commander, the battle ahead is fierce, there should be other troops attacking the devils on the outskirts of Tongshan Town, what should we do?" The chief of staff came over and said.
"Let's wait, it's useless to attack rashly, I asked Liu Xiaomei to contact the besieged troops and see the situation." Chen Fei said.
"Well, okay, then I'll arrange the troops." The chief of staff said.
"Good!" Chen Fei said.
After a while, Liu Xiaomei ran over and said, "Brigade commander, the military commissar wants us to defeat the devils on the periphery of Tongshan Town and rescue the troops in Tongshan Town, and the troops in Tongshan Town are completely out of contact now." ”
"yes, got it." Chen Fei said.
"Why don't I take two regiments to attack first." Tang Bing came over and said.
"Wait for the reconnaissance company to come back from reconnaissance, the fight is so lively, we may not be able to defeat the devil if we rush in."
"I'm afraid that when it gets dark, the troops will have no contact, and I'm afraid of hurting my own people." Tang Bing said.
Chen Fei nodded and said, "I know it in my heart, wait a minute." ”
The sky was getting darker, and the battle with the mountain town was getting fiercer.
"75-mm self-propelled guns, 105-mm guns, damn it, and 150-mm self-propelled guns." Zhao Liu listened to the sound of the cannon.
"No, there are also 120mm heavy cannons, this devil is crazy, so many heavy guns." The chief of staff said.
"I don't know which unit is on the periphery, this heavy artillery, and it hasn't blown up the position." Zhao Liudao.
"I'll go to the front to see, why hasn't the reconnaissance company come back yet?" Tang Bing said.
"Don't worry, this artillery fire is too fierce, let's wait for the reconnaissance company to come back." Chen Fei insisted.
"Brigade commander, the troops still have to be separated, we have no fortifications, if they are discovered by devils, a few heavy artillery will be over." The chief of staff said.
Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "No, with such a fierce battle ahead, how can you take care of us." ”
"Report, the liaison officer of the fifth theater is here." Watermelon came running quickly.
"Report, Liu Hua, staff officer of the Fifth Theater of Operations, reports to General Chen." Liu Huadao.
"Oh, what's going on in front of Staff Officer Liu?" Chen flew to.
"General Chen, our six regiments in the 5th theater have been attacking for three days, attacking day and night, but the reinforcements of the devils are very fast. Now more than half of Tongshan Town is in the hands of devils, half is in our hands, and the troops to rescue about 250 people are trapped in a church not far from us. Chief of Staff Liu said.
"Oh, what happened to the heavy artillery just now?" Chen Fei said.
"The troops we want to reinforce were blocked outside the city by the devils, and we launched an attack to enter the city, but we were attacked by the devils' heavy artillery and suffered heavy losses, and a battalion was gone in a blink of an eye." Staff Officer Liu said.
"How many troops do we have in the town?" Chen Fei said.
"There are two regiments in the town, and the devils are about one wing, and the devils are going to enter the city and are blocked by our other two regiments, but I estimate that the four regiments have suffered heavy losses, otherwise they will not be connected to the church." Staff Officer Liu said.
"What are the plans for the 5 theater of operations now? We won't be able to enter the town, and the casualties will be even greater. Chen Fei said.
"What our chief means is that he hopes that General Chen can force his way into the city." Staff Officer Liu said, "General Chen, we all know that the casualties of this forced march into the city are huge, but if we can't enter the city, the longer it takes, the more support the devils will have, and sooner or later the four regiments will be wiped out and the troops to be rescued will be killed." ”
"You fuck, if you don't attack, let us attack, you 5th theater is bullying our independent brigade!" Zhao Liu scolded.
"Sir, sir, that's not what I mean, it's really that we don't have many troops nearby, General Zhang Zizhong also promised to come to the rescue, but it will take another day, and the two divisions of the Jiang Defense Army were blown up by the devil's planes and heavy artillery as early as the first day." Staff Officer Liu said.
"It's all about fighting for your life, okay, you go back and tell your sir, we'll attack in two hours." Chen Fei said.
"Yes, thank you, sir, what does General Chen need us to do?" Staff Officer Liu said.
"We'll discuss it first, and we'll let you know when the time comes." Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" Staff Officer Liu replied that he would go back immediately.
"How are you attacking?" Chen Fei said.
"Brigade commander, you shouldn't have agreed to attack, although it's night, but this heavy artillery, as long as there is no Zhu Yuan, we don't want to pass it well." Zhao Liudao.
"If you pass, you will also sacrifice more than half of the soldiers." The old dog said.
"Watermelon, come over and tell me about your reconnaissance." Chen Fei said to the watermelon.
"Brigade commander, the devil's artillery fire is too fierce, we are not too close, this is a large circular town, a big river surrounds Tongshan Town, the main battle is in front of the town and behind the town, the direction of the attack in the 5th theater is in front of the town, because the front of the town is blocked by the devil's heavy artillery, so it has been repeatedly frustrated, and the battle behind the town is not weak, but it seems to be a feint." Watermelon gave a general account of the battle situation in one breath.
Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "Actually, I think the small troops should be able to swim through, but the large troops may be difficult. ”
"Is it possible for us to build bridges on our own? Think about it. Chen Fei said to the watermelon again.
"Mainly where the river is relatively narrow, a bamboo raft can cross the river." The chief of staff said.
"I didn't see it, it's almost the same, it should be more than 4 meters wide, a bamboo row is more than 2 meters at most, forcibly make a big bamboo row, it will make a sound if the control is not good, if it is found by the devil, it may attract artillery fire, I feel that there are many devil reconnaissance troops nearby." Watermelon Road.
"Damn, I don't even have a map of Tongshan Town, and I don't know where this church is." Chen Fei scolded.
"Oh, the church is recognizable, the tall pointed stone room, it's clear." Watermelon Road.
"Really? Is that close to the river? Chen Fei asked.
Watermelon thought about it: "I can't see it clearly, but it's not too far, the problem is that the place is occupied by devils." ”
"You draw a rough picture of the terrain on the ground." Chen Fei said.
The watermelon immediately picked up the branch and drew it on the ground.
"The river, the big bungalows, the streets, a lot of people's houses, but there are a few pits here, which should be shelled." Watermelon is painted while talking.
Chen Fei listened carefully to the watermelon's explanation and couldn't help nodding.
"What do you think of crossing the river from this river into this big bungalow and taking possession of it, Chief of Staff?" Chen Fei said.
"Brigade commander, I want to attack from here, and then attack with the bungalow as the center." The chief of staff said.
"How do you cross the river?" Tang Bing said.
"How about a small army go first, occupy the bungalow and cover the large army to cross the river?" Chen Fei said.
"Yes, I'm afraid that if I am attacked by devils in the process of crossing the river, the loss will be great." Zhao Liudao.
"Brigade commander, I think it's okay, it's better than the loss of the attack in front of the town, and it can make the 5th theater feint before and after the town, maybe it can have an unexpected effect." The third head of the regiment, Tong Kaidao.
Everyone kept nodding, it should be the most ideal solution.
Chen Fei thought for a while and said: "Liu Dajun led the spy company to occupy the bungalow first, and then the first regiment, the second regiment and the third regiment of the independent regiment followed up in turn, the action should be fast and light, and the heavy machine guns of the Bison and the artillery companies of the old guns did not need to cross the river and cover on the bank." Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" The crowd replied.
"Well, let's get moving! Old Zhangtou, old Zhangtou, you don't have to participate in the attack, we are coming out quickly, and you are resting and recuperating in place. Chen Fei said.
"Brigade commander, wait, there are many fighters who don't know water, what to do?" Tang Bing said.
"Ask the old dog to make bamboo rows, he is good at it." Chen Fei said.
"Well, okay, I'll arrange it." Tang Bing said.
"Watermelon asks someone to lead the way, you hurry up and go to the 5th Theater Command and tell them that we will attack in an hour and a half, and I hope they will cooperate, and the momentum will be huge, especially the more fierce the shelling, the better." Chen Fei said.
"Understood!" Watermelon ran away as soon as he finished speaking.
The troops began to act covertly towards the intended target. The gunfire in the distance, although not very fierce, never stopped. In order to prevent being discovered by the devil reconnaissance unit, the troop has been shuttling through the dense forest, and about an hour later, the scout who led the way suddenly stopped, and Chen Fei ran over and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's a devil's army ahead." Scout said.
"How many?" Chen Fei was shocked.
"About 15 people." Scout said.
"Damn, how many more ways are there?" Chen Fei said.
"It's right ahead, it's coming soon, two minutes away." Scout said.
"Wang Liang come here, go to the front to reconnoitre, don't be careless, be careful of the devil's secret sentinel, as soon as the gun goes off, it will be difficult to act." Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" Wang Liang replied and ran forward cautiously.
"Sanmao, come, Wang Liang will come back later, you and Liu Dajun will discuss it, kill the devils in front, don't use guns, understand?" Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" Sanmao replied and immediately went to find Liu Dajun.
Chen Fei looked ahead with a telescope.
