Chapter 186: Lost Soldiers
I was reprimanded by Huang Wenlie and was embarrassed, looking forward to a crack in the ground in front of me, so that I could get into it immediately.
There is really nothing to explain after losing the battle and losing the position, I can't argue about the fog and poison gas, and the two tunnels that should have been blown up, and it is pointless to mention these things now.
Zhou Dalei, who was trained with me, said: "Tuanzuo, if you want to talk about defense, we have done everything we should do, and we have also sent a guard post, but the guard posts have been smoked down by the poisonous gas, and the poisonous gas is mixed in the fog, and there is no way to detect it, which makes the devil's death squad rush up......"
The communications corpsman came over and said, "Regiment commander, telegram from the military headquarters." ”
Huang Wenlie was about to continue to reprimand Zhou Dalei when he was interrupted by the communication soldier's train of thought, and he was a little stunned for a while, staring at the telegram in the communication soldier's hand, and did not hear what he was talking about.
Wang Tingyue stretched out his hand to take the telegram and glanced at it, then turned his head and said, "Wen Lie, the military headquarters ordered our entire 200th Regiment to withdraw immediately, and other armies will take over the attack. ”
Huang Wenlie was stunned for a minute, and said angrily: "Why do you want us to withdraw? Just because we lost ground? If I lose it, I can get it back! Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army's foothold was not stable, I personally led the team and vowed to take their first defensive position!! ”
Wang Tingyue stopped the angry Huang Wenlie and persuaded him euphemistically: "Wenlie, the new 200th regiment has lost nearly one-third of its troops, and this time it has lost so many heavy weapons, let's not hold on." It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and it is also my duty! ”
Wang Tingyue mentioned the heavy weapon lost on the first defense position without a trace, so Huang Wenlie spread his anger on us again, and shouted: "What are you doing here? Didn't you hear it! Fall back! Gather up the remnants of your headquarters and retreat to the east coast! ”
Zhou Dalei had to argue a few words, I pulled him out of the command post, walked away from the command post, and said: "Don't say it again, Tuanzuo is angry now, and he won't listen to what you say now." ”
Zhou Dalei said indignantly: "If I had listened to you and blown up the tunnel, even if the devils attacked with poison gas, they wouldn't have thought to regain their position!" ”
I sighed and said, "This can't be completely blamed for not blowing up the tunnel, there is nothing wrong with what the regiment did next, if we attack the main peak position next, these two tunnels can also be used by us, but the Japanese army did not give such a chance." ”
Zhou Dalei said: "Mom Labazi, the little devils are really capable of fighting, all of them don't want to die, like crazy." What do they shout, what do they mean? No matter how you shout this sentence, it's like beating chicken blood. ”
I called out to my herald and commanded, "Tell the machine gunners on the cliff to get all out of here, and before they get down, either blow up the cave or plant mines in the cave, and no more devils can use the cave to hit us." ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander." The herald took a few soldiers to inform the machine gunners on the cliff that they had brought not only mines, but also a lot of mines, which would explode as soon as they were touched, and it was impossible for the Japanese to return to the cliff.
After giving the order, I said to Zhou Dalei: "Battalion Commander Zhou, you have been fighting with devils for so many years, and you still don't understand the meaning of this sentence? ”
Zhou Dalei said: "Except for the eight grid Yalu, I know that it is a curse, and I don't understand anything else, and I am not interested in studying what these devils are shouting." ”
I said, "Uya means long live, and in this way, the emperor of Japan, who is far away in Tokyo, will give them strength." If you pay attention, you can hear that every time the Japanese charge, they shout this phrase. ”
Zhou Dalei scolded: "The little devil of the turtle king bastard, I said why when they shouted Wuya, they rushed up like a demon possessed, this group of Japanese devils is really superstitious about their emperor!" ”
I said, "If you have a thing of faith, you don't know how comfortable it is, even if the essence of this thing of faith is actually nothing. ”
A company commander of Zhou Dalei's mixed battalion ran over and said, "Battalion commander, the regiment commander ordered, let our battalion withdraw first......"
Zhou Dalei said: "Anzi, see it, I'm the last to go to the West Coast, but the first to go back to the East Coast, isn't it interesting!" ”
Zhou Dalei went back to organize his mixed battalion to cross the river, and I also began to assemble the team and wait for the order to cross the river.
Zhou Dalei crossed the river first with the regimental headquarters, Zhang Da's second battalion followed, and my first battalion was arranged to be responsible for covering the broken rear to prevent the Japanese army from covering up and killing later.
In fact, this is simply a lot of worry, the Japanese army has recaptured the first defensive position, and now they are stepping up repairs, and the dilapidated positions that have been blown up by artillery shells have no time to care about us.
It was only when we crossed the river that the Japanese had sporadic fire coming down from the hills, but it also stopped quickly, and I guess the Japanese commander only wanted to hold on to it, and he did not want to waste any more bullets on our retreat.
Our regiment retreated to the east bank peacefully, but everyone's face was gloomy, Huang Wenlie was right, the battle was like this, and no one was in a happy mood.
The new 200th Regiment lost hundreds of casualties and hundreds of wounded in need of treatment.
We withdrew to the east bank for less than half a day, the weather suddenly changed its face, the north wind rose in Hulala, and after ten minutes, the wind became stronger and stronger, and in an instant, the heavy fog on both sides of the Nu River was blown away by the strong wind, and the heaven and earth returned to clear.
For the superstitious, this is fate, and if this wind had come a day earlier, how could we have been defeated by fog and poisonous gases.
Soon we stopped thinking like this, and after the wind blew, it was rain, and there was no light rain to pave the way, and the sky seemed to leak, and the rain poured down instantly.
The friendly regiment, which was supposed to take over the new 200th Regiment to continue the attack, was also forced to stop the attack plan, and in such a windy and rainy weather, without the Japanese army firing guns and artillery to block the attack, the river-crossing equipment was put into the Nu River, and it would capsize in a blink of an eye, and then be carried away by the raging torrent of the Nu River.
The heavy rain stopped the gunfire and restored a temporary calm on the east and west banks, and the Japanese were busy repairing their positions on the west bank, and we were busy reorganizing our offensive on the east bank, ready for a second wave of attacks at any time after the heavy rain.
After Huang Wenlie braved the heavy rain to go to the military headquarters, his spirit seemed to be gone. He didn't mention the offense anymore, but just stepped up the training of recruits even more desperately.
Everyone can see that our group must be reprimanded by the superiors, and our superiors will not listen to the details, they want the result.
Even if our entire army is wiped out, as long as we take Moyunling, these casualties will be forgotten before long.
