Chapter 318: Rush to Niangzi Pass

Niangzi Pass, a famous pass of the Great Wall, is located in the west of Jingcheng County, Hebei Province on the west side of the Taihang Mountains, formerly known as "Weize Pass", later because the Tang Dynasty Princess Pingyang once led the army to garrison here, and the troops brought by the Princess Pingyang at that time were called "Niangzi Army", so it was named.

In addition, Niangzi Pass and Jing Chengguan face each other across the mountain, choke Taihang Mountain Jing Chengkou, is one of the few passages between Shanxi and Hebei, has always been a place where soldiers must fight.

Therefore, Niangziguan was valued by the Japanese invaders early on, and it took a lot of money to capture it.

At that time, the backward squadron was defending Niangzi Pass, and the Japanese army took several days and nights to take Niangzi Pass with several times the strength of the Japanese army and the external strong artillery assistance.

As a result, the dangerous terrain of Niangzi Pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack can be seen.

However, the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that now it is really feng shui in turn, but it is the turn of the Eighth Route Army, which wants to break the cage policy of the Japanese army, as the main attacking side, and the Japanese army as the main defending side.

Of course, not only that, the devils on the defensive side also have a huge advantage, they have fierce artillery fire, strong equipment, and countless ammunition, all of which are not possessed by the former Chinese ** people.

Therefore, as soon as the war began, it was inevitable that a conceivable scene would happen.

The 176th Brigade, which was responsible for attacking Niangzi Pass, fought for three days and three nights, during which it organized as many as several general attacks, but they all ended in failure.

In the afternoon of the same day, when Han Xin, Shishi, Tie Niu and others arrived, the comrades of the 176th Brigade were seizing the time to rest.

As for Yang Shen, the commander of the 176th Brigade, he was still analyzing the details of the battle at the front-line command post, and he did not have time to arrive at the first time.

But the tragic scene of the battlefield was still imprinted in the eyes of Han Xin and others, wounded soldiers could be seen everywhere, and the corpses of their own comrades who had been collected were almost piled up into a hill on the side...... The harsh reality goes without saying.

The battle of Niangzi Pass must be tragic!

"Little comrade, how could this battle be so tragic?"

Stone took the opportunity to ask a young warrior who was silently enduring the pain and licking his wounds.

The soldier was very young, really young, most of them in his twenties, and he had a gunshot wound to his arm, which was quite bad, and blood was pouring from it.

But this little comrade snorted muttered, silently, from the rough strips of clothes on his arm, and the corner of the rough clothes on his body, Han Xin already had a guess.

It's not that this comrade is unwilling to receive treatment, it's just that there are too many wounded comrades, and there are many fighters who are more seriously injured than him who are not bandaged and rescued at all.

"Stone, call the hygienist!" Han Xin said loudly.

That is, at the moment when Han Xin opened his mouth, the little comrade who was still numb in his eyes and didn't even answer the question of the stone suddenly cried out of shape:

"Chief, chief, please, save my brothers! Please! ”

Han Xin frowned, followed the gaze of this little comrade, and sure enough, there were many seriously injured soldiers who were silently "wailing" in the open space on the side, and they were already dying, but there were no rescuers in sight.

As for the 176 hygienists, Han Xin didn't see it, maybe they went to the front line to rescue other people, or maybe they all sacrificed, who knows?

"Stones, iron bulls, call all our medical personnel and immediately rescue the comrades of the 176th Brigade!"

"Yes!"

"Chief, thank you, thank you!" The little soldier actually struggled to get up, and then bowed down to Han Xin.

Han Xin hurriedly pulled him up, "You are not lightly injured, the stone ......"

"Chief!" The little soldier was extremely stubborn, he reluctantly pushed away Han Xin's support, and stood up with a pale face, "I'm fine, I can still fight!" ”

Han Xin stared at him, the eyes of the two collided together, and from the eyes of this little warrior, Han Xin did not see a trace of fear and retreat.

"What's your name?"

"Wang Sheng."

"Very good, Comrade Wang Sheng, you are a good example!"

"Thank you, Chief, for the compliment!" Wang Sheng saluted respectfully.

Han Xin smiled and helped Wang Sheng tidy up the corners of his clothes, "You are good, but don't force yourself in the next battle!" ”

"Chief!" Wang Sheng's voice was urgent, and he, who had always been as resolute as iron, actually began to have tears rolling in his eyes.

"Okay, believe me, there is still me, the chief in your mouth, this day, it won't collapse!"

Han Xin smiled and spoke, the smile he showed seemed to be extraordinarily magical, making Wang Sheng subconsciously willing to believe a little more.

"Yes, Chief!"

"That's right, but before you recover, I still have something I want to ask you!"

"Chief, excuse me!"

"Why did you fight this battle so fiercely?" Han Xin pondered for a moment and once again said the question before the stone.

Hearing this, Wang Sheng's eyes showed a little sadness, "Chief, the devils who are defending on the Niangzi Pass, their firepower is too fierce, and the brothers can't rush up at all!"

It's like a slaughterhouse, as many comrades rush up, they will fall, there is no end at all!

In the past three days and three nights, almost all of the brothers are filling with their lives, and most of the regiment has been lost! ”

Han Xin saw the palpitations in Wang Sheng's eyes, his heart was slightly stunned, and he quickly shook his head, denying the speculation in his heart.

"How many devils are there?" Han Xin spoke in a deep voice.

Wang Sheng thought for a while and said, "I don't know how many people there are, and our head of the regiment probably doesn't know."

However, listening to the brigade commander, the devil commander seems to be a military rank at the level of Shaozo. ”

"Devil Shaozuo, it seems that at least the strength of a devil brigade!" Han Xin was surprised, and secretly thought to himself: "I just don't know what kind of formation this is the Japanese army's brigade, if it is a full establishment of the devil brigade, the number is probably enough to thousand." ”

"But even if the devil is a full-fledged brigade, the casualties of the 176th Brigade should not be so tragic." Han Xin was puzzled, and the original speculation resurfaced in his mind, "I hope it's not like this!" ”

"Comrade Wang Sheng, you have a good rest! We'll take care of the rest! Han Xin patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, and then strode towards the front line, and Shi and the others immediately followed.

At the end of the team, Wang Sheng, who had always felt that Han Xin was by no means an ordinary person, still couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and when the medical staff came to help him bandage, he finally asked:

"Comrade, who was that chief just now?"

"Who is it? Haha, I said brother, you have been calling your brother for a long time, and I don't know who the head of the family is! ”

"I don't think I've heard of this chief......" Wang Sheng said softly.

"Okay, Lao Zhao, don't play this kid." The other hygienist spoke, then changed his tone, saying:

"But you kid has a sentence that I'm afraid I'm wrong, you must have heard of the name of the chief just now, don't say it's you, I'm afraid that our Eighth Route Army and even the soldiers of ** don't know."

"Ahh Wang Sheng was dumbfounded, and then he heard the other party say softly: "Because the leader just now is the god of war of our Eighth Route Army, Comrade Han Xin!" ”

"God of War!"

Wang Sheng felt that his heart was a little insufficient, and it took him a long time to recover from the shock, and then he looked in the direction where Han Xin had long since disappeared, and muttered, "Chief, I completely believe in you now!" ”
