Chapter 247: Bloody Battle of Matsuyama Five

In the command post of the 3rd Rong Regiment, Cui Jisheng saw Chen Zaijing, the commander of the 3rd Battalion who had retreated, being carried by the soldiers to Zhao Fabi, and could only whisper: "Regiment commander, I ...... it"

They were so sad that they couldn't even say a word, they were covered in mud and blood, and their green uniforms were dyed red.

It is said that Chen Zaijing turned out to be the lieutenant colonel and director of the division headquarters, and it was he who took the initiative to ask the regiment to lead the troops, and he had done his best during the battle, and the regiment commander ordered him to hold the existing position and stand by.

The recollections of Cui Huashan, a veteran from Liuyang, Hunan, who was the corporal squad leader of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment in later generations, confirmed this statement, and he participated in the counter-sneak attack that night. He said:

"In the middle of the night, the enemy rushed up silently, and we all went mad, regardless of life or death. Many devils were hit by us, fell down and rolled a few times, and struggled to rush towards us, insisting on fighting with us. We are also provoked by the madness of the devils, and we are desperate on the battlefield, what can we do? So we also rushed out of the trenches and fought with the devils with bayonets. As soon as people have the strength to work hard, they are infinitely powerful, and they are also very flexible in jumping and moving.

I knocked down a devil with the butt of my gun, and he was still rolling on the ground, and I jumped up and pressed his neck to get it, and without beware of his bite, my three fingers were broken.

It can be seen how hard the devil bites on the dog day! Ten fingers connected to my heart, and my tears hurt out. With a horizontal heart, he took out a grenade in his right hand, and hit it seven or eight times in a row, knocking the head of this Japanese prisoner all the way to his neck...... When fighting a war and defeating madness, there is a sense of pleasure, and those who do not go through ruthless fighting will never be able to experience this taste.

It's like catching a big fish or knocking over a red deer, can you get it to run away? In my life, the greatest happiness, the most comfortable, and the most hateful time was when Matsuyama knocked the devil's head with a grenade. ”

Zhao Fabi pointed to a second lieutenant and said, "What the hell is going on, tell me a good story, Lao Chen, you go to bandage first." ”

The lieutenant made things clear in frustration.

At night, the Japanese invaders gathered more than 200 people and rushed to the sub-high ground in an attempt to regain the commanding heights. The 7th Company where he was located was ordered by Battalion Commander Zhang, and led the officers and soldiers of the 1st and 2nd platoons to rush to the position to fight side by side with the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Company.

In the melee, his company commander was paralyzed and careless, holding a rattan cane in his hand, without a gun, and met the Japanese in the trench, and was shot in the waist by the Japanese two shots in succession, and died heroically.

The sergeant of the herald squad next to the company commander, squad leader Liu, saw that the devil was aiming at him again, jumped up and pressed the devil to the bottom of the trench, and tightly wrapped his hands around the devil's throat to strangle him. It was difficult for the devil to turn over, so he actually pulled the grenade on his waist, and with a loud bang, squad leader Liu and the devil died together...... Fortunately, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd platoons of the 2nd and 7th companies fought bravely, and the submachine guns and grenades exerted their maximum power and drove the devils out of the position......

Then the devils rushed back to the position with a grenadier canister, and the brothers of the third battalion, who had suffered heavy casualties, had to withdraw from the position.

Zhao Fabi pointed to the second lieutenant and said: "From now on, you are the acting company commander of the third battalion, and you will cooperate with the third battalion to recapture the position.

The second lieutenant reorganized the remaining dozens of brothers into a platoon, replenished ammunition, and went up the hill again.

"Call the artillery battalion and ask for support, and the third battalion will follow immediately."

Among Wang Jingyuan's former enemy commanders, Zhang Ziwen was studying the drawings of the Japanese army with Wang Jingyuan.

He Shaozhou thought that the drawings were useless at this time, but Zhang Ziwen thought that it was necessary to study them.

"Deputy division commander, the third battalion called, saying that the third regiment of Rong asked for support, and they have already supported, and they want to confirm whether the high ground has been lost again?"

Wang Jingyuan, who was studying the drawings, immediately walked to the phone, Zhao Fabi had already gone out to supervise the battle, and it was the staff officer of the Rongsan Regiment who answered the phone.

"What lost the high ground? Get me back before dawn......"

Wang Jingyuan successively called the military headquarters of the Eighth Army and He Shaozhou, and He Shaozhou was really checking the military situation in Zhuzipo at this time.

Until the early morning, the Rong 3rd Regiment failed to capture Zigaodi, and the acting army commander Li Mi called and severely rebuked Zhao Fabi, the commander of the Rong 3rd Regiment, saying: "Zhao Fabi, Songshan is Zhao Fabi, Zhao Fabi is Songshan!" You remember, with you Matsuyama in ......, order your regiment to take out all its strength, and at any sacrifice, must recapture the sub-highlands on the 22nd. Wang Jingyuan, the former enemy commander, will come to your regiment to supervise the battle. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Fabi felt a kind of grievance in his heart that he couldn't release.

The reason why Wang Jingyuan and Li Mi were anxious was because after the explosion of the sub-highland, it was occupied by the 3rd battalion of Zhao Fabi's regiment, and the commander's department had already reported to the Chongqing Command, and newspapers in various places would publish this important news, and the whole country and the whole world knew that the Songshanzi highland had been recovered.

If the newspaper is sent out, but the Japanese army is still in the sub-highlands, it will be a big joke in the world.

No one in the entire Eighth Army should think about it, and Zhang Ziwen was also sad after listening to Wang Jingyuan's narration.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is a price to be paid for being in such a hurry.

"Regiment commander, if you don't let my battalion go up, I promise to take it back tonight."

Wang Jingyuan waved his hand and said, "There are a few Yankees and Brits in the Rongsan Regiment, all of whom are reporters and instructors, and your military uniforms are too different, and they will all know them as soon as you go up." Besides, whoever loses it, he will take it back for me, and he will come with me tomorrow. ”

Zhang Ziwen didn't know why Wang Jingyuan and He Shaozhou did everything possible to prevent their team from going to the battlefield.

Although I don't understand, it's hard to say, so I can only wait for the opportunity.

Early the next morning, Wang Jingyuan planned to go to the command post of the Rong 3rd Regiment, but he didn't expect Li Mi to send the money over.

waited until noon, and with a few large boxes, Wang Jingyuan went to the Rongsan regiment.

When they arrived at the place, the third regiment of Rong had already assembled at the foot of the mountain, and there were only a few hundred people left in one regiment.

Wang Jingyuan didn't talk nonsense and opened the box.

"The sub-highland is gone, but yesterday we have already informed the central government, and tomorrow the news of your Rongsan regiment's conquest of the sub-highland will be known to the whole country. So I need thirty men as a death squad to conquer the sub-highlands before dawn tomorrow. ”

A lieutenant colonel with several bandages stood up and said: "Report to the commander, I am Chen Zaijing, commander of the third battalion of the Rongsan Regiment, and I lost the sub-highland position, and even if my head is lost, I will take it back."

"Then you pick thirty people yourself, you don't have to come back if you can't attack it, no one from the death squad has issued 10,000 tickets, 5,000 yuan will be temporarily issued today, and another 5,000 yuan will be issued after taking the sub-highland."

Zhao Fabi did not speak, and tied grenades to Chen Zaijing's body, and if he was shot, these grenades would become a sharp weapon to open the gap for the brothers.

After Wang Jingyuan sent the money, he said directly:

"We are fighting for every inch of land. Today, every daredevils have a strong patriotic spirit, and a fearless spirit that is not afraid of hardship and sacrifice, and dares to fight to the death against the stubborn enemy to recapture the sub-highland. This spirit deserves admiration and admiration. I wish you success and the final victory belongs to us! ”
