Chapter VIII: Cover
It was dawn, Chen Fei looked at the charred corpses across the street and felt sick, and suddenly he thought of something and said to the mouse, "Order the troops to withdraw to the embankment, quickly!" ā
The third company quickly evacuated to the field embankment and lined up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The "boom, boom, boom" naval guns began to bomb the shantytown, and the continuous bombardment for half an hour blew the shantytown upside down.
Chen Fei took out a cigarette and lit it, took a beautiful puff, and said secretly, "It's good to retreat quickly." ā
"It's all right!" Chen Fei shouted, his ears buzzing from the ship's guns, presumably the soldiers were the same.
"It's okay, it's okay," the squads replied one by one.
Chen Fei spat out his smoke and said, "Mouse, go to the battalion headquarters and report the situation here to the battalion commander truthfully, and tell him that the Japanese army doesn't know when it will come again." ā
"Company commander, I'll take a look in the shantytown." The old steamed bun came over and said.
"There should be nothing in there, it's too dangerous to go again," Chen Fei said.
"It's okay, I'll go check it out." The old steamed bun said again
"Be careful, life is more important than anything else." Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" The old steamed bun turned around and entered the shantytown and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find loot.
"Sir, let's eat a bowl of noodles!" Lao Zhangtou walked over with a bowl of noodles.
"When was the noodles down?" Chen Fei picked up the noodles and devoured them as he ate.
"It will fall before dawn." Old Zhang Tou said with a smile.
"Oh good! Good! Chen Fei said.
I have food in my stomach and I want to sleep when I am exposed to the sun.
"Tang Bing, call a few veterans to take turns to be on guard, everyone take a break!" Chen Fei said to Tang Bing.
"Sir, you can sleep for a while, and I'll arrange the rest, don't worry." Tang Bing looked at Chen Fei and felt like his younger brother. "Okay!" Chen Fei is not hypocritical, and he will sleep when he returns.
The artillery roared in the distance, the gunfire continued, and the troops' attack on the Huishan Wharf had not stopped for a moment since yesterday, so you can imagine how fierce the battle was.
At noon the rat returned, with an ox cart with some ammunition and supplies.
The rat woke up Chen Feidao, who was sleeping dimly, "The battalion commander said that before three o'clock in the afternoon, Qinglonggang on the left side of the dock was occupied, and the battalion commander also asked me to bring ammunition and food. ā
"Okay, I know, give the ammunition and supplies to the old steamed bun and ask him to divide it." Chen Fei squinted his eyes and said.
"Yes," the mouse replied, turning and leaving.
Chen Fei wiped his face with the water in the embankment and walked towards Tang Bing.
"Are all the brothers who died buried?" Chen Fei said.
"It's all buried, buried under the hillside by the roadside." Tang Bing said.
Chen Fei was silent for a while, Tang Bing took out a cigarette and handed it over, Chen Fei lit a cigarette and took a few puffs and felt better, Chen Fei was very sad to sacrifice so many soldiers at once, but what can be done about it, he doesn't know when he will sacrifice.
"You go and call the old steamed buns." said to Tang Bing, and after a while, the old steamed bun ran over.
"How's it going inside?" Said to the old steamed bun.
"In ruins, only three grenadiers were found, seven and eight large covers, and nothing else." Old steamed bun said.
"The troops are about to drive to the docks and distribute the ammunition." Chen Fei said.
"There are a lot of condolences for SH citizens, packs of sugar and cigarettes, okay with me?" Old steamed bun said.
"Yes." Chen Fei replied.
"Zhao Liu, Zhao Liu, come here." Chen Fei shouted at Zhao Liu, who was grabbing the condolence goods. Zhao Liu squeezed out his body and ran towards Chen Fei.
"What's the matter with the company commander?" Zhao Liu came to Chen Fei and said.
"Take the two brothers and go now, Qinglonggang on the edge of the dock, and the troops are going to move there." Chen Fei said.
"Yes!" Zhao Liu replied, turned around and left.
"Mouse, notify the troops to assemble." Chen Fei said to the mouse.
Qinglonggang is a hill on the plain, but there is a road that leads to the pier at the foot of the mountain, and it takes less than ten minutes to get to the pier.
When Chen Fei arrived to take a look, he knew that the brigade headquarters was going to cut off the reinforcements that might be sent to the wharf, and Chen Fei's third company was in Qinglonggang, even if the Japanese army reinforced them, they would have to take Qinglonggang, because this was the commanding height.
Chen Fei climbed to the top of Qinglonggang Mountain, took a telescope to look at the pier, and saw that several troops were attacking the pier, exploding, and gunfire came and went. Chen Fei said secretly, "The devil is really tough, and he is still resisting after attacking for so long." ā
"Tang Bing, take your brothers to deploy at the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the brothers will be deployed at the top of the post." Chen Fei said.
Chen Feishan looked up and down the mountain a few times, and said secretly, "There is no problem with arming, I am afraid of devils, heavy artillery and naval artillery, and powerful artillery can swallow three companies at once." ā
"Mouse, call the squad leaders." Chen Fei said to the mouse, after a while, the platoon leaders of the kung fu squads came, and Chen Fei told you about the situation.
"The company commander or we will build a tunnel behind the mountain, connected to the trench in front of the mountain, and usually hide in the back tunnel, and the enemy can't hit the artillery bombardment, and when the enemy infantry comes up, we will go to the front trench." A row of three classes of elders said dogs.
"Yes, it's a good way, a squad and a platoon to move and build a tunnel behind the mountain." Chen Fei said.
"It's the same with a platoon, but there are guard posts in the trenches ahead." Chen Fei said again.
The platoons were soon up to action again.
That night, the commander of the third company connected the tunnel and the trench, and the guns and artillery at the Huishan wharf did not stop all night, but the third company was good, eating biscuits, smoking, smoking, sleeping, and spent the night comfortably.
The sky in August is bright and fast.
At seven o'clock, suddenly there was a loud sound of artillery, and all kinds of naval guns and heavy artillery of the devils shelled Huishan Wharf. Reinforcements from the Japanese army arrived. Chen Fei took the binoculars and watched closely at the dock. Huishan Pier was flooded with fire and dust.
At eight o'clock sharp, troops began to retreat.
"The battalion commander is here!" The mouse said to Chen Fei. Chen Fei hurried to meet the battalion commander.
"How's it going? Battalion commander! Chen Fei saw the battalion commander and said.
"Don't mention it, so many troops can't take the dock, damn, our three battalions are basically exhausted except for your three companies, and the commanders of the first and second companies have all died, and now our task is to hold Qinglonggang and cover the retreat of the troops." Battalion Commander Liu said helplessly.
"Ahh So many casualties? Chen Fei said.
"Battalion commander, you go to the back tunnel to rest first, and I'll settle the other company brothers." Chen Fei said.
"Okay." The battalion commander replied.
Half an hour later, the 264th Brigade also began to retreat, and Chen Fei met the new brigade commander for the first time.
Brigade Commander Gao said to Chen Fei, "Chen Fei, you must hold on until night, and when it gets dark, you can retreat." ā
"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission." Chen Fei replied. Brigadier Gao hurriedly turned around and left.
"Where did Camp Commander Liu go?" Head Zhu looked at Chen Feidao.
"Rest in the back pit." Chen Fei replied.
"I'll leave some ammunition, two heavy machine guns, 5 light machine guns, and more grenades for you, be sure to hold out until dark, complete the mission, don't stop, and return to the team immediately." Head Zhu looked at Chen Feidao.
"Yes!" Chen Fei replied dryly. Head Zhu looked at Chen Fei again, turned around and retreated.
"Bison find a few heavy machine guns to shoot well, let the old steamed bun find a few positions, Tang Bing arrange the brothers who retreated, Zhao Liu pay attention to vigilance, the Japanese army will come at any time." Chen Fei said.
An hour later, the Japanese army came up.
"The Japanese are going to shell, hide, hide!" Chen Fei shouted.
The troops advanced in an orderly manner towards the mountainback tunnel in accordance with the pre-battle arrangement.
"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" all kinds of medium guns, heavy artillery, naval guns, began to shell Qinglonggang.
"Don't lie on the ground, squat, and gasp for breath, otherwise you will hurt your internal organs, and you don't know how to die." Zhao Liu is teaching a new recruit.
"Tang Bing, do you still have brothers in the trenches?" Chen Fei said to Tang Bing.
"The frontal trench and the top of the hill are gone, and the old guns are staring at the left rear side." Tang Bing replied.
"How's Chen Fei doing?" The battalion commander was awakened by artillery fire.
"Our troops have basically withdrawn, and the brigade commander has given an order for us to hold the battalion until dark to cover the retreat of the large army." Chen Fei said.
"Okay, I didn't retreat from the first and second companies, why must our battalion be saved." The battalion commander said.
"Got it, the battalion commander can rest assured, let the brothers of the first and second companies repair it first." Chen Fei said.
"Old steamed buns, come here." Chen Fei shouted, and the old steamed bun ran over.
"You prepare more food, the shelling can't stop for a while, let the brothers eat first." Chen Fei said.
"I'll send the cookies right away." Old steamed bun said.
The shelling lasted for more than half an hour, and it was estimated that the Japanese army wanted to completely flatten Qinglonggang, and by the way, the troops that had just arrived were distributed.
The "Da Da Da" three-battalion blocking battle began.
The Japanese army at the foot of the mountain was about 200 people in a squadron, because Qinglonggang was not big, and it seemed that it was densely packed with Japanese troops.
In groups of three, more than a dozen people will never be gathered in an offensive area. Light and heavy machine guns hit very accurately, especially the grenadiers, as soon as the three light and heavy machine guns fired, they were suppressed by the grenadiers.
"Signal and tell a platoon to retreat to the top of the mountain." Chen Fei said to the second platoon.
"The rat gathered all the soldiers who could throw grenadiers." Chen Fei said.
In the previous series of battles, more than a dozen grenadiers were captured, and Chen Fei thought to himself, the grenadiers suppressed the grenadiers, after all, it was good to fight from above.
"Hit, hit me hard!" Battalion Commander Liu also came out for reinforcements.
Chen Fei ran to the back tunnel and saw that the rat had called more than a dozen soldiers.
"Each of you takes a grenadier and targets the Japanese grenadiers and light and heavy machine gunners." Chen Fei said.
"Yes! Sir! The warriors said. The old man on the side began to distribute grenadiers and ammunition, and said, "Run out of ammunition, come up to me to get it." I'm right here. ā
Lao Zhangtou not only issued grenadiers, but also all kinds of bullets and grenades.
"Old Zhangtou, we have to keep watch until dark, you have to pinch your proportions." Chen Fei said to Lao Zhangtou.
"Yes, sir, rest assured!" Lao Zhangtou replied, Chen Fei saw that Lao Zhangtou understood what he meant, turned around and went to the front trench.
"Throw a grenade and hit me." Battalion Commander Liu was also very brave, and after throwing the grenade, he held the flower mechanism and fired desperately.
The grenadiers of the third battalion worked, and they were basically able to suppress the enemy.
"Bison, you have two heavy machine guns, as long as one continues to fire." Chen Fei said, in fact, Chen Fei was distressed about ammunition and had to hold on for an afternoon.
"Yes, sir!" The bison and the one on the left rear side withdrew.
Chen Fei quickly came to the second platoon and said, "How is the first platoon?" ā
"Two or three were sacrificed, and most of them came back." Tang Bing said.
Suddenly, there was a mortar shelling sound in the sky, and Chen Fei was stunned and shouted, "Shelling!" ā
On the "boom boom" position, explosions broke out everywhere, and the Japanese army actually attacked and shelled at the same time, and the mortars hit it with surprising accuracy.
Chen Fei didn't expect the Japanese army to attack so resolutely.
"Get on the bayonet and fight with the devil!" Chen Fei shouted.
"Kill!" Zhao Liu took the lead in charging, and all the fighters rushed together.
The Japanese soldiers who were hiding behind the light and heavy machine guns began to shoot, and the soldiers who were attacking from the top down killed the Japanese soldiers with their blood, and the Japanese soldiers saw that they also took off their ammunition and prepared to meet the enemy.
"Throw a grenade!" "Throw a grenade!" Chen Fei shouted.
The Japanese army didn't expect that the **** threw grenades while charging, and they were originally standing and waiting for the Chinese army to rush over for hand-to-hand combat, but the grenades in the sky stunned the Japanese army.
"Boom, boom, boom", "kill, kill, kill", more than 200 Japanese soldiers were killed, and countless casualties were killed.
Chen Fei saw that the second batch of Japanese reinforcements was coming.
"Throw grenades, grenadiers and shoot a round to withdraw." Chen Fei roared.
One heavy machine gun and two light machine guns holding the pass began to cover the retreat of the third battalion.
The Japanese caught up, were stopped by grenades and grenadiers, and slowed down the attack.
The 3rd Battalion was safely withdrawn to the top of the hill. Before they could stand firm, the Japanese artillery bombardment began again, and some of the fighters retreated into the back tunnels, and some could only be in the trenches, because the Japanese troops stepped on the artillery point to attack, and they could not get out of the tunnels after retreating.
"Fortunately, it's mortars." Chen Fei secretly said that if it was another artillery, the casualties would be even greater.
"Da Da Da Da" Wang Fu, the machine gunner on the left rear side of the hill, began to shoot.
Listening to the sound of gunfire, you can tell that the enemy is about to rush to the top of the mountain.
"Hit!" Chen Fei shouted.
"Whirring", "Suddenly", "Boom, Boom", all kinds of gunshots, explosions, and loud again.
All the fighters were shooting desperately, and the Japanese desperately rushed up, and on several occasions they were almost attacked by the Japanese, all relying on grenades to press down.
The battle lasted for some time, and the Japanese could not attack anymore, and finally retreated.
Chen Fei saw that the Japanese army had retreated, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out a cigarette and lit one.
"Mouse, mouse," Chen Fei shouted.
"Here, sir." The mouse flew over, and Chen Fei felt relieved when he heard the voice of the mouse.
"Count the number of people," Chen Fei said, "Just bring Zhao Liu and Tang Bing." ā
Zhao Liutang Bing walked over, and both of them hung up their colors, but the injuries were quite light, no major problems, they were all skin injuries.
"It's past 5 o'clock now, and there is not much time left until dark, so you go to the position to lay mines and make a hammer deal." Chen Fei said.
