Chapter 31: The Bloody Battle of Luodian (3)
At this time, a loud charge came, and I saw that on the main position of the 66th Regiment, Hu Lian led all the soldiers of the national army on the position, rushed down the position like a tiger descending the mountain, and began to pursue the retreating devils. It turned out that they had just cleared out the white-knuckle devils on the position, and before they could catch their breath, they saw most of the Japanese killed and wounded and began to retreat. Hu Lian thought that the opportunity could not be lost, and immediately asked people to blow the trumpet of the charge and lead his soldiers to charge the Japanese army.
Bai Fei did not dare to slack off when he saw this formation, and immediately ordered the artillery company and special combat team that had just returned from completing the mission to launch a fierce attack from the flank, in order to form a flank attack on the Japanese army. At the same time, the company was moved forward to avoid accidental damage caused by Gatling in the process of firing.
All of a sudden, the three major killing weapons of the RPG, AK47, and Gatling in the flank position opened fire together, and the soldiers of the 66th Regiment of the National Army in the front position chased after the Japanese army like fierce tigers, which made the situation of the already demoralized Japanese army even worse. At this time, the powerful firepower of the RPG was once again frontal, under the command of Wu Artillery, the artillery company of the Protector Army continuously fired more than 30 rockets towards the densely populated area of the Japanese army, and the fleeing Japanese army was immediately killed and injured by fragmentation grenades, and the retreating formation was also in chaos, trampling on each other a lot. By this time, the Japanese army had changed from retreat to rout.
How can the Chinese military afford such an opportunity? The commander of the 349th Regiment of the 59th Division, who was responsible for defending the line from Xitao House to Tianjiazhai, saw the excitement of fighting in the north and couldn't hold it back for a long time, and at this time saw that the opportunity to beat the water dogs was in front of him, and immediately ordered the battalion commander Huang Ziren to lead 500 soldiers of the 349th Regiment to go north along the Luoyue Highway to Luoxi Village and attack the Japanese army from the south flank.
By the time Huang Ziren and his people arrived at the northern battlefield, the Japanese army had completely lost their fighting spirit, and everyone was only holding their heads and running around, and they had no intention of resisting at all. Seeing this, Huang Ziren raised his gun and swept it, and after a shuttle, he put the gun on his back, pulled out a big knife, and shouted: "Pounce on your mother, little Japan, brothers, follow me to cut down these street boys!" "Huang Ziren is a native of Kengzi, Huiyang County, Guangdong Province (now part of Shenzhen), and he naturally scolds people with a hometown accent.
500 people of the 349th Regiment immediately joined the ranks of the slashing devils, and for a time the battlefield was full of people, although the scene was bloody, because it was a small Japan, it made people feel very relieved. However, in order to be refreshed for a while, Huang Ziren led the crowd to rush into the enemy formation to start a white-knuckle battle, which made the enemy and us mixed, and made the soldiers of the Protector Army who were chasing and fighting behind the Japanese army's butt become timid, for fear that the bomb would fall on his own side and cause accidental injury, and for a while, weapons with greater lethality, such as rockets and Gatling, could not be used to the fullest. This undoubtedly gave the Japanese troops a chance to breathe, allowing them to flee without "after" worries, and by the time everyone chased out of Luodian Ancient Town, about 600 Japanese troops had already passed Wudoujing and fled in the direction of Panjing Yuepu.
Bai Fei knew that he couldn't catch up, so he sighed, feeling a little pity.
At this time, Hu Lian and Huang Ziren also ran over, and the two sides introduced and exchanged pleasantries. Huang Ziren scolded happily: "Damn, count these Luo laps running fast." ”
The folds on Hu Lianxiao's face came out, and he said excitedly: "We have actually recovered Luodian Ancient Town!" Hu Lian was so excited that his voice trembled a little. He originally thought that today was a mortal situation, but he not only repelled the attack of thousands of Japanese troops, but also took the ancient town of Luodian.
He knew that it was all up to the Protector Army to help him today, otherwise he Hu Lian would have returned to Jiuxiao, thinking of the unpleasantness that happened with Bai Fei at the headquarters before, this Northwest man had a fever on his face, but the upright temperament of the Northwest man was immediately reflected in him. Hu Lian coldly gave himself two mouths, which startled Bai Fei and Huang Ziren.
Huang Ziren said: "Captain Hu, what are you doing here?" ”
Hu Lian said: "It's nothing, it's just that I offended Captain Bai in words before, if it wasn't for Commander Bai leading his troops to rescue me today, my Hu Lian's body would have been cold." ”
Huang Ziren didn't expect this one, so he opened his mouth and stopped talking.
Hu Lian continued: "The two mouths I had just now were to apologize to Captain Bai, it was me Hu Lian who didn't know gold and jade, and I asked Commander Bai for forgiveness." As he spoke, he bent down and bowed his head to Bai Fei.
Bai Fei was also stunned by Hu Lian just now, but now that he knows what happened, he can't laugh or cry. Seeing that Hu Lian was about to salute, he hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Captain Hu, hey, Captain Hu, what are you doing, what kind of is that, I don't pay attention to it, you are also making too much fuss, hurry up, don't break my brother's life, I still want to live a few more years." ”
Hu Lian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Since you call me brother, well, from today on, you are my Hu Lian's eldest brother, the grace of saving lives, I Hu Lian will remember it, and when I am sent in the future, I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire." ”
When Bai Fei heard this, his head was big again, and the two of them excused themselves for a long time, and finally decided to determine the age by the age of the tooth, and both parties were very happy.
At this time, someone came to report that they had found a lot of Japanese artillery, and everyone immediately went to check, and sure enough, behind a ruined wall, there were 24 cannons, all of which were facing west to the positions of the Chinese army west of the Hutai Highway.
As soon as Wu Cannon, who was following Bai Fei, saw these cannons, his eyes immediately lit up, he walked over and touched them, and said: "This is the Japanese Taisho four-year 150mm field gun, which is a heavy gun and has great power. ”
Bai Fei was thinking, why did the Japanese army put these cannons in the previous battle and didn't use them? I heard Hu Lian ask beside him: "What about the cannonballs, why are there no cannonballs?" ”
One of his men said: "We searched the surroundings and found no shells. ”
Bai Fei suddenly realized, he told his guess, Hu Lian said: "No wonder, yesterday the devil's shelling was intermittent for a while, and this morning it was also fought for nearly half an hour, and then the sound of the cannons was not heard, it turned out that the shells ran out." ”
When Huang Ziren, the battalion commander of the 349th regiment, heard this, he was immediately a little deflated, he originally heard that there were cannons, and he originally wanted to use the credit and friendship of participating in the war just now to ask Hu Lian for two to go back, but when he heard that there was no ammunition, he suddenly lost his mood, explained to Hu Lian Baifei, and took his subordinates back to restore his life.
Hu Lian also showed a lack of interest in this because of the lack of ammunition for the cannon. Bai Fei's eyes rolled and said, "Brother Hu, we fought a few battles with the Japanese army last time and captured some ammunition, why don't you let me bring a few cannons back first and see if we can use them." Hu Lian didn't say a word, and immediately agreed to Bai Fei to take half of it.
At this time, it was late in the day, and the Japanese air force was unable to carry out the bombing, and the commander of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division, who had suffered defeat due to the lack of shells, committed suicide by disembowelment, and the division commander Fujita Susumu was furious and strictly ordered all the 500 or 600 Japanese soldiers who had fled back to Tsukipo to be disemboweled, believing that they were damaging the spirit of bushido in the Imperial Japanese Army. Later, under the persuasion of the chief of staff, Tian Yuan Lixiong, they were temporarily exempted from the death penalty, and planned to let them take the lead as the vanguard and recapture the ancient town of Luodian when they counterattacked the next day.
The Japanese army was vigorously preparing for the next day's counteroffensive, and the Chinese army was certainly not idle. The news of the 66th Regiment and the Protector Army Kefulodian was transmitted back to the rear, and the whole headquarters was shaken, and Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying were overjoyed, and immediately drew two battalions of nearly 1,000 people from the reserve of the 11th Division and sent them to the front line as a supplement.
The 66th Regiment fought for several days, needless to say, with heavy casualties. After the battle, the Protector Army also killed more than 20 people and injured nearly 30 people, although it seems that the number is not large, but the Protector Army does not have many people on their backs, and it is still a little difficult to bear such a consumption. Thinking of more than 50 casualties, Bai Fei was a little sad, but Hu Lian was very righteous, and after the replenishment team came up, he immediately sent more than 180 people to Bai Fei, saying that he wanted him to supplement the battlefield losses.
Although he could see that Hu Lian had the intention of repaying his kindness, Bai Fei was still very happy and said: "Brother Hu, this is the supplementary team of your 11th Division, and it is a little inappropriate to send it to supplement my national protection army." ”
Hu Lian whispered: "Brother, don't worry about it, this is the original battalion of my 66th Regiment that was disabled, and there are so many people left, I reported more when I reported the battle damage, it's okay!" ”
So far, Hu Lian's 66th Regiment and the strength of the Protector Army have been strengthened, of which the number of the Protector Army has exceeded 500; The 66th Regiment is even more powerful, with more than 1,800 personnel, and its strength is comparable to that of its heyday.
