Chapter 21: The Battle

"Mouse, tell the Bison tank is coming with armor-piercing shells. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Fei said viciously.

Ever since he saw the tank in Wu County last day, Chen Fei thought about how to deal with this steel monster, and later the quartermaster of the division headquarters told him to use armor-piercing shells, and Chen Fei exchanged two large yellow croakers for 3,000 armor-piercing bullets, just waiting for today's use.

The rice paddies were empty, and eight tanks lined up, slowly moving forward.

Chen Fei came to the front and shouted: "Don't shoot, wait for the tank to get close, and the grenade is ready." ”

The bison spat out a mouthful of water and rubbed it in his palm, staring at the tank in front of him.

"Da Da Da!" The Bison heavy machine gun opened fire on the front tank, and a dozen armor-piercing shells hit the tank's thin armor, knocking the armorers inside into a bloody blur.

"It's good that the quartermaster didn't lie to me, otherwise the sacrifice would have been great." Chen Fei thought secretly.

It didn't take long to be happy, and the Bison heavy machine gun hiding in the cave and shooting with armor-piercing shells could only kill two Type 89 tanks, because the range was short, and the Japanese army was defenseless.

As soon as the Japanese saw that the other side had armor-piercing shells, the tank immediately hung sandbags on the tank as soon as it stopped.

Chen Fei saw that there was no other way but to fight, and waved to the guard company commander, and Company Commander Wang nodded. As the tanks got closer, the Japanese troops, hiding behind the tanks, began to shoot at the separate battalion.

Chen Fei stared at the tank, and suddenly pulled up the grenade fuse in his hand and shouted: "One, two, three, throw!" Dozens of grenades flew towards the Japanese troops, while more than 20 fighters rushed out of the trenches with explosive packets and rushed to their intended targets.

Grenades exploded on the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, but the fighters who rushed to blow up the tanks were knocked down by machine guns. The commander of the guard company Wang sent more than 20 soldiers out of the trench and quickly crawled towards the tank, at this time the Japanese army also came to their senses, although Chen Fei kept throwing grenades, but under the coordination of the Japanese army's infantry tank, the soldiers who rushed up fell one after another.

For a while, both sides were desperate, the forward positions were bleeding like rivers, and the soldiers who rushed up to blow up the tank rushed out of the trenches and pulled the fuse to rush to the tank, anyway, it was all death, and it was worth dying holding the tank.

Some fighters rushed out with two explosives bags and died with the tank, some soldiers rushed out and were hit by the Japanese army, pretending to be dead and waiting for the tank to come and roll under the tank to blow up the tank, and some soldiers approached the tank and blew up the tank track with the explosives bag.

All 8 tanks were blown up, and the Japanese troops who were following behind were blown up by grenades and could not get close, and the wreckage of the tanks blocked the view of the Japanese heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and could not support them well.

At this time, the Japanese plane in the sky appeared again, Chen Fei gritted his teeth, the two armies were entangled, if the Japanese army threw aerial bombs, everyone would die together.

Japanese planes also saw such a situation, and two planes fired wildly at the independent battalion at an ultra-low altitude.

The independent battalion was hit by a double blow from heaven and earth, and the cooking squad and the lightly wounded were also thrown into the battle, and everyone was fighting to the last drop of blood to hold the position.

Under the repeated attacks of the aircraft, the first company and the guard company were killed and wounded, and Zhao Liu, the second company, saw the situation and immediately led a platoon to support the forward position. However, the situation was still not reversed, and the Japanese army could only fight fiercely, without any tactics to speak of.

At the last moment, a group of black-clothed men emerged from behind the independent battalion, all armed with shell guns, and their techniques were extremely accurate, causing the Japanese attacking troops to retreat one after another.

Chen Fei shouted: "Hold the position, hold the position!" ”

The Japanese planes also ran out of ammunition and food, and there was no air support, so they slowly retreated.

"Don't mortar, don't mortar, watch shelling, watch shelling." Chen Fei shouted.

"Battalion commander!" The old steamed bun ran over and said.

"The old steamed bun is here, have the supplies been bought? Who are they? Chen Fei said strangely.

"The supplies are bought, I will distribute them immediately, they are the soldiers given to you by President Lu." Old steamed bun said.

"Oh, call their leader." Chen Fei said.

After a while, a big man came over: "Sir! ”

"Who are you?" Chen Fei asked.

"Oh, sir, we are Boss Lu's guards, all of them were from the former Northeast Army, and Boss Domeng Lu took them in, a total of 60 people, and I will fight devils with my uncle in the future." Dahan Road.

"Oh, that's okay, I'll divide you all into each company, are you okay?" Chen Fei said.

"No, I'll just wait for you to arrange it." Dahan Road.

"Tang Bing, you divide them all into each company." Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei arranged everything to return to the battalion headquarters, and Fang Min followed in and said, "Battalion commander, the division headquarters has called us many times to ask about the situation, and I have called back in the fierce battle!" ”

"Oh, the battle is hard, the casualties are serious, I hope for reinforcements from the division headquarters, let's go first." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Fang Min turned around and went back.

"This time I really have to explain here, the Japanese army's offensive is getting stronger and stronger every time, and I can be regarded as doing my best for the country." Chen Fei thought secretly.

But Chen Fei didn't expect that in the next three days, the Japanese army would attack regularly every morning, and the intensity of the attack was not large, there were no heavy artillery, no planes, and I don't know why.

Although the independent battalion suffered casualties, it was able to hold on.

By dawn in the early morning of the fourth day, a large-scale Japanese attack began, with heavy artillery starting first, followed by tanks.

Chen Fei walked out of the battalion headquarters and thought: The decisive battle is today.

For a time, artillery fire was flying, all kinds of weapons desperately opened fire to kill each other, and from time to time soldiers jumped up to attack the Japanese tanks.

Although the Bison's heavy machine gun loaded with armor-piercing shells failed to break the tank, if it hit the Japanese army, it would be a broken hand and foot, and the Japanese army could not attack this cave position for a while, and the continuous shooting caused a lot of pressure on the Japanese army.

Slowly, the tanks stormed the positions.

"Kill the devils who are following behind, quick!" Chen Fei shouted.

Without infantry tanks, only mobile machine-gun positions can be counted.

Chen Fei could only let the tanks in and blow them up one by one.

Suddenly, a piece of shrapnel flew sideways towards Chen Fei, pulling a cut on Chen Fei's face, and blood flowed like a torrent of blood.

The old dog next to him pounced on Chen Fei violently, and the two of them ran to the medical station when they mentioned Chen Fei.

There were few medical staff, and the nurses who were working saw that the battalion commander was injured and hurried over to help.

Sun Qianliang also ran out and pulled up Chen Fei to take a look: "It's okay, it's okay, it's a little skin injury." ”

Sun Qianliang quickly picked up the needle to help Chen Fei stitch up the wound, and after a while, the wound was stitched up and tied with gauze. Chen Fei went out with a gun.

"Battalion commander, why don't you take a break." Mouse Road.

"If I don't go, the army will be disorganized." Chen Fei said.

The three of them quickly returned to their positions.

The battle on the position was in full swing, with gunfire, artillery, and explosions in one piece, some seriously wounded soldiers with grenades and the Japanese soldiers perished, some wounded with explosives bags and the fuse opened the fuse and rushed to the Japanese tanks, and some stabbed the Japanese with bayonets. The independent battalion is shedding its last drop of blood.

Chen Fei kept shooting at the Japanese army with a submachine gun, and at this time, Liu Xiaomei ran towards Chen Fei quickly in the rain of bullets: "Battalion commander, the division headquarters ordered to withdraw, and the Japanese army landed on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay. Liu Xiaomei said anxiously.

"yes, got it!" Chen Fei said.

But the independent battalion and the Japanese army were already stuck together.

"Mouse, give you ten minutes, notify all units, see my gesture to prepare for a counter-charge, retreat to the division headquarters as soon as the charge is completed, go quickly!" Chen Fei said.

Ten minutes later, there was a sudden sound of killing, and all those who could walk and pick up guns in the independent battalion began to counterattack, and the Japanese army was startled by the sound of killing, thinking that reinforcements were coming again, and began to retreat slowly.

Chen Fei shouted: "Throw grenades to drive the Japanese army out!" ”

The "boom boom" grenade blew up the Japanese army and hurriedly retreated.

As soon as the Japanese army began to retreat, Chen Fei immediately retreated.

"Zhao Liu and Bison mounted heavy machine guns at the end of the village to cover the retreat of the whole battalion and held on for 15 minutes."

"Yes! Be! ”

As soon as Chen Fei withdrew, the Japanese army's heavy artillery came, and looking at this formation, you knew that the Japanese army gave them at least 30 minutes to breathe, which was also luck.

The independent battalion rushed to the division headquarters at a rapid pace, and retreated to Huainan Road three hours later.

"Mouse, inform the companies to be stationed according to the original arrangement." Chen Fei gasped.

"Yes!" Mouse Road.

Chen Fei flew to the division headquarters again.

"Report, the independent battalion of the 88th Division has completed the blocking mission and came to report." Chen Fei said to Master Sun.

"Oh, Chen Fei is here, so that your battalion will hold Huainan Road to cover the retreat of the troops." Master Sun said while sorting out the documents.

"There are only more than 200 people in my battalion, division commander, can you add it?" Chen Fei said.

"Chen Fei, I really don't have anyone, your battalion covers the whole division and the 87th Division, the 36th Division retreats, after completing the task, your battalion will also retreat to Nanjing, and the required materials will be left in the warehouse for you, and the things inside are all yours, as for the guard company, it will be assigned to your battalion, and in front of you is your old regiment commander Zhu Chi, after he retreats, you can retreat." Master Sun said.

"Yes!" Chen Fei said helplessly.

"Go ahead! See you in Nanjing! Master Sun also said helplessly.

Chen Fei turned around and went to the original independent battalion to garrison.

"Mouse, notify the heads of each unit to have a meeting!" Chen Fei said.

After a while, all the commanders arrived.

"Old steamed bun, you send someone to move all the things out of the division warehouse, go quickly!" Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The old steamed bun turned around and left.

"Company Commander Wang, your guard company will be assigned to my battalion in the future, and you will be the commander of the fourth company in the future." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Wang Lian said.

"You are still stationed as before, we have to cover for the whole army, and if there are any questions, we will raise them now." Chen Fei said.

Zhao Liudao: "Damn, it's cover again, there are only more than 40 people in our company, can the battalion commander add more?" ”

"There are no personnel to replenish, but you can figure out how to do it yourself, and you can't cause disputes among the fraternal forces." Chen Fei said.

They even looked at each other to understand what Chen Fei meant.

"Good! Then disperse! Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei took out a cigarette and lit it, and the days of fighting made Chen Fei very tired, and the wound on his face was also faintly painful.

At this time, Sun Qianliang came in and said, "Battalion commander, help you change the gauze." ”

"Oh, I'll wash up later, you can leave it alone, I'll do it myself." Chen Fei said.

"Okay." Doctor Sun didn't talk nonsense, turned around and left. Doctor Sun's medical skills are absolutely superb, but he is not good at talking.

Chen Fei took a shower with a bucket of water in the bathroom, changed into a new military uniform, and planned to change the gauze alone.

At this time, the platoon leader Fang came in, without saying a word, picked up gauze and helped Chen Fei change the dressing.

"Battalion commander, be careful." Fang Min said.

"It's a little bit of skin on the battlefield, count it as luck." Chen Fei said.

After a while, the new gauze was changed, and the woman's hands were skillful.

"Thank you!" Chen Fei said.

"No, battalion commander!" Fang Min said.

Chen Fei didn't dare to rest for a moment, and hurriedly went to inspect the defense areas of each company. It was really too great a loss for each company, and Chen Fei was very uneasy.

At this time, the retreat also began, and the troops quickly passed through the Huainan Road.

There were neat retreats, there were retreats that threw away their armor, and there were retreats in twos and threes, and Ding San actually picked up a mortar and three boxes of shells on the side of the road.

As soon as Chen Fei saw this situation, he knew that the army was defeated.

"Old dog, go to Lu's Mansion and tell President Lu that SH will be defeated in the next few days, and he needs to be ready." Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei turned around and went back to the camp headquarters.

"Mouse, those brothers in Lufu still have a few alive, and they have all been transferred out of each company." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Mouse Road.

After a while, more than 20 big men came in.

"Sit down!" Chen Fei took out his cigarette and said.

"Thank you, everyone, for your help in my time of crisis. SH can't hold it, our independent battalion will also be withdrawn, whether you follow me to fight devils or return to Lu Mansion, you decide for yourself, I will treat you with courtesy. Chen Fei said.

"Of course, it's to fight the world with my uncle, and I originally agreed with Master Lu." The Way of the Leader.

"Okay, you 26 people will be my brothers in the guard platoon from now on." Chen Fei said.

"Yes! Uncle, my name is Niu Tian, let me introduce you to my brother. "Niu Tiandao.

"Good! Don't call me uncle, call me battalion commander. Remember all those who died, and I will know their condition. Chen Fei said.

"Yes! Battalion commander! "Niu Tiandao.

"Mouse, I'll give them uniforms and guns later." Chen Fei said.

"Report!" Fang Min came in and said.

"Speak!" Chen Fei said.

"Battalion commander, the division headquarters called, a unit of the 87th Division will hold the Sixing warehouse, and order our battalion to withdraw after being notified by the warehouse defenders." Fang Min said.

"Good! Got it! Chen Fei said, thinking in his heart, why did the order change again.

Everyone left the camp headquarters, and Chen Fei sat on the sofa for a while and fell asleep.

The Battle of Gucun made Chen Fei know the real gap between China and the Japanese army.
