Chapter 363: Confrontation
The sun came out, the thunderbolt crackled for a day and a night The battlefield became quiet, although the devils were unwilling to admit defeat, but the devils with serious troop losses had already shown fatigue and were unable to attack; On a battlefield full of corpses, there are more dead than alive, and in the fierce night battle, the defender, as the victor, does not have the mental and physical strength to deal with the corpses on the battlefield, and under the light of the sun, the smell of blood and corpses permeates everywhere, and the smell makes people want to vomit.
The Chinese defenders in the trenches have been paralyzed all night, and it is not easy to survive this tragic battlefield. Maybe the devil's attack will start again soon, and the most important thing is to eat a full stomach first;
As for the counterattack? The soldiers on the position never thought that as long as the devils did not come to attack, the remaining brothers and poor ammunition made the officers give up the counterattack first, and the two sides were in a stalemate with a distance of less than a kilometer;
The scorching sun dispelled the fog in the mountains and forests, shining along the mountains and trenches on the battlefield piled with corpses, making the smell of the tragic battlefield even more pronounced...? ...
A brother crawled along the trench that was almost blown up, and soon crawled into a crater with half of the devil's corpse lying on the edge, groped around the corpse for a long time, and finally found a pack of blood-soaked cigarettes from the devil's pocket, and didn't care, took out one, and took a piece of firewood from the campfire burning next to him, took a hateful puff, and the smoke immediately drifted into the air...? ...
"Brother, get me one!" On the other side, a wounded soldier who smelled the smell shouted,
Next to this funnel-like crater, three brothers covered in blood were lying in a comfortable position, their guns in their hands, their mouths nibbling on hard multigrain cakes, one of them longing for a cigarette...? ...
After a night of fierce fighting, hunger and fatigue were eating away at the strength of the brothers of the third division, and the devils had already retreated, but they had not received the order to retreat, they could only stay up;
"Platoon commander, why haven't you withdrawn to Wu Jiawa?" A brother asked Li Qiang, the platoon commander of the reconnaissance company,
Li Qiang stuffed the biscuits in the devil's field food into his mouth, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”
The brother said, "The devil doesn't have much dry food!" The cooking class doesn't know when they can send some food, but I don't have anything to eat today? ”
Li Qiang looked at the veteran brother and said with a smile: "Don't worry! The regimental commander will not let the brothers go hungry to fight, and they should have something to eat later; Come, the candy in the devil's field food, give you one! ”
Li Qiang took out the candy in the field dry food, carefully handed one to the brother, and held the remaining one in his mouth;
The regimental headquarters of the 16th Regiment is now located in the field wing headquarters of the original 113th Wing, and the communications squad has begun to work, although the telephone line has not yet been connected, but the radio has begun to work;
"Regiment commander, division headquarters telegram." The communications soldier forwarded the telegram he had just received to He Jianye,
After reading the telegram, He Jianye put it down and said to Leng Qi: "Let each battalion and company summarize the personnel, ammunition and guns, and distribute the devil's grenades equally, and the Japanese-style firearms will be counted separately; In addition, let the brothers find a trench and bury all the devils, and they have all rested for five hours, so let's all move! ”
"Yes, Commander; I'll arrange it! Lenzaki said,
Although He Jianye's 16th Regiment was the attacker, it consumed a lot of ammunition at night, especially grenades and mortar shells, and rifles were particularly seriously worn out in white-knuckle combat; A telegram just received from the division headquarters that the supplies would not arrive until the afternoon, and there were plenty of bullets in them, but there were no rifle refills, not many grenades, and even less mortar shells; As for the food, there are many ingredients for the multigrain cakes, so that at least the brothers do not have to go hungry; So far, the materials stored in the theater have been almost consumed, and the remaining replenishment will have to wait for the supplies from Nanchang to be replenished.
"Zeng Da, let Yang Xiaoshi take two brothers to the high ground to ask if we need to go to the high ground to defend; Just go! He Jianye ordered,
"Yes, regiment commander" Zeng Da, who had just woken up, ran out of the regiment headquarters to find Yang Xiaoshi to convey the order;
Half an hour later, Yang Xiaoshi came back and brought back Lai Chuanxiang's order: Garrison on the spot, guard against devils from detouring from the path behind, and wait for orders to support the highland battle at any time!
"Regiment commander, the situation of the battalions and companies has been counted; The battalion commanders are still alive, but the first battalion commander Zhu Yunhua and the second battalion commander Sheng Hai were injured, all of which were slightly injured; Two company commanders of the first battalion were killed, and one company commander of the second and third battalions was killed; Here's the list now! "Legasaki brought back the status of the personnel who had completed the inventory;
"Phew, all the wounded must go back to the rear for treatment, you go and arrange it immediately!" He Jianye said,
"Regiment commander, all of us are sent back, but there are less than 600 troops left?" Leng Qi asked suspiciously, now that the war is in full swing, there is no reinforcement in the rear, and in this situation, there is no need to send the lightly wounded back.
"Let them go back! A few hundred more wounded is of little use! He Jianye understood what Leng Qi meant, shook his head and refused;
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the cooking class of the 16th regiment, under the leadership of Lao Wang, made all the dry food into multigrain cakes, and picked up a few large baskets, so that the brothers could finally eat well;
Last night I fought all night, and today is another morning's busy work, and the captured devil's dry food is not much, and it takes three brothers to divide a lunch box, and the brothers are hungry and have their chests and backs; Seeing the multigrain cakes, everyone put down their work and began to gobble up cold water......
Finally, the well-fed brothers began to continue digging underground bunkers under the leadership of the officers, the devil's field fortifications are very complete, should not worry about being shelled by the national army, the number of underground bunkers is only a few, it is not enough for everyone at all, now in addition to the regimental headquarters and materials have bunkers, most of the personnel have to stay in the trenches, if the devil's heavy artillery shelling, I am afraid that the rest of the people will have to go to the sky......
"The guard company and the reconnaissance company were combined, adding up to almost 180 people, and I personally brought them; The remaining more than 330 brothers were divided into two companies, Leng Qi you take one, and let the third battalion commander Wang Qiang take one; The more than 70 brothers of the mortar group are still in the original formation, and our mortars are just out of shells, so let's wait for the rear! He Jianye said to everyone at the regiment headquarters,
Now that the organization is incomplete and there is a serious shortage of personnel, only the battalion commander is the company commander and the company commander is the platoon commander; Fortunately, everyone understands the current situation, and no one cares about this, in this kind of battlefield where life is a luxury, there are brothers next to them, and there are commanders who care about themselves behind them, even if they give a division commander in exchange, I am afraid that no brothers are willing to ......
