Chapter 6 O3 Life and Death

"Commander, Commander Shusheng's side has just sent information, they and the men and horses of Liu Zhenshan's division of the Second Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation have entered the predetermined position, and they have connected with the Kwantung Army and the Imperial Alliance Army in the direction of Xinjing, but the other party's men and horses are increasing, and even aircraft, artillery and tanks are used. Regiment Commander Liu Shusheng said that there is no problem with sniping for a day and a night. One of his operational staff officers hurriedly reported.

"Is it okay to block for a day and a night? This Liu Shusheng, it seems that the pressure on his side is still very high. In this case, you call me the commander of the second regiment and the commanders of the battalions. Hu Daniu heard his subordinates say this, and his eyelids couldn't help but move. He knows Liu Shusheng well, not only can he fight, but he is also good at thinking, especially his chief of staff Dong, who is brave and strategic, if he can drag the little devil for a day and a night, then the situation will be very serious.

After a short time, the commander of the second regiment and the commanders of each battalion came to Hu Daniu.

"Commander Yu, the little devils and traitors from the direction of Benxi Lake, you are responsible for directing the sniper, you have to ensure that no one is allowed to pass through this road, do you understand?"

"Please rest assured that Commander Hu will complete the task." Yu said after the head of the regiment stood upright.

"Before I finish speaking, I'll give you two battalions, your first battalion and your second battalion, and part of the additional firepower battalion."

"Commander, are you leaving?" Yu Bao's nervous question.

"Yes, I will take the third battalion to support Chief of Staff Li Xiong and Political Commissar Yang Juan. The fourth battalion and the remaining part of the heavy fire battalion were led by the commander of the fourth battalion, and the regimental commander Liu Shusheng was reinforced to block the enemy in the direction of Xinjing. In this way, Yu Commander, you divide the heavy firepower battalion into two, leaving half to the first battalion commander under his command, and the remaining half, led by you personally, guarding the mountain pass on this side. ”

"Commander, don't worry, you can guarantee that the blocking mission will be completed, and a little devil will not let it go."

"Okay, when Chief of Staff Li rescues Political Commissar Yang Juan's men, let's withdraw together in the direction of Wunu Mountain. The commander of the third battalion, take your battalion and a heavy fire battalion to support the intersection of Kangfa County in the direction of Xinjing. There was a regiment of the head of the Shusheng Regiment and the whole of Yao Zhenshan of the Anti-Japanese Federation, about 6,000 people. The situation there is very serious, the little devil planes, artillery and tanks are used, and the fight must be very hard, I let you pass, not to let you charge, but to let you use the heavy firepower in your hands to snipe the little devil's team down the mountain. Do you understand? The second regiment commander Hu Daniu and several battalion commanders under him confessed.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task, as soon as I get there, I will contact the head of the tree voice immediately." The commander of the third battalion of the second regiment also said uprightly.

"Okay, you guys go right away. The commander of the fourth battalion immediately gathered the team and joined me to support Li Xiong and Political Commissar Yang. Division Commander Pan, everything here will be handed over to you, after the battlefield of the Second Regiment is cleaned, guard the mountains on both sides, and you are the commander-in-chief here. Now we are a family, and there is no distinction between you and me, as long as the reinforcements from the direction of Benxi Lake are blocked for me, the task will be completed. Your men, as a reserve, where the situation is urgent, you support that side, Gao Zhi, you gather your men and hand them over to Commander Pan, you go with me to support the south gate of the city. The matter is urgent, Hu Daniu is not polite at this time, he directly ordered Gao Zhi and Pan Kui.

Although the two of them belonged to the First Route Army and were not under the control of the Second Route Army, they were still happy and convinced of his orders. Therefore, as soon as Hu Daniu finished speaking, the two of them were also upright, and immediately agreed: "Yes, I promise to complete the task." ”

Speaking of it now, the people on both sides of Gao Zhi's subordinates and the head of the regiment together are less than 200 people, and with Pan Kui's subordinates, the two sides together are only about 400 people. Of these 400 or so people, almost half of them were wounded, but although there were not many personnel, the weapons and equipment at this time had been replaced by shotguns, and the ammunition had never been so abundant as it was now, so the morale of the soldiers was still very high.

As Pan Kui analyzed, Yang Juan's situation outside the south gate of the city was very dangerous at this time.

Although Yang Juan had already given the order to attack the county seat with all his might, the little devils and traitors defending the city had too strong firepower, and these teams outside the city could not reach the city gate at all.

The team defending the city was dominated by the Kwantung Army, and they formed a three-layer firepower network, the first layer was light machine guns and grenades, which were designed to hit these people who were close to the city gate and the root of the city wall.

The second layer is a heavy machine gun. The heavy machine gun has a long range and great lethality, so let's put it this way, a big tree with a thick bowl mouth, and two heavy machine gun bullets will be swept away, and it will be broken at the waist. All the targets within a radius of more than 1,000 meters outside the city are really sticking to death.

The third layer is mortars. The mortars of the Kwantung Army hit accurately, which even the always conceited volunteer warriors admitted, and in terms of mortar strikes, they were inferior to the little devils. As far as the Kwantung Army is concerned, "steady, accurate, and ruthless" mortars are the first requirement for their training in peacetime; there are many shells in peacetime, and the quality of training is also high, and the lethality of the mortar is still very terrifying.

These three-layer firepower network made it impossible for Yang Juan's men to reach the city gate at all. This is not the most dangerous, the most dangerous thing is that except for this southern city gate, the other city gates have all been controlled by the Kwantung Army, and the troops who resisted the joint siege of the city, except for the less than 200 people left by Commander Pan, have all been sacrificed.

The little devils and traitors who went out of the city have gathered outside the south city gate and surrounded Yang Juan's hundreds of people to death.

Before being completely surrounded by the little devils, Yang Juan had already received information from his subordinate Li Division: The little devil Kangfa County had been prepared for a long time, and now the plan is to evacuate the south city gate and return to Wunu Mountain, otherwise, once the reinforced little devils break through the sniper line, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After receiving the information, Yang Juan pondered for a while. She knew that what Division Commander Li said was the truth, and she also understood that Division Commander Li had sent people over at this time, and the defense line for sniping reinforcements in the direction of Benxi Lake was already in danger.

But things on the battlefield are not said to be withdrawn, soldiers to obey orders as their duty, at this time, there is no order from the superiors, the situation of the other three outer city gates is not very clear, more importantly, the chief of staff does not know where he is, if Yang Juan withdraws from the battle at this time, it is equivalent to escaping from the battle, that crime is enough to eat "peanuts".

Yang Juan pondered for a moment, and smiled helplessly at the team member who sent the information: "I know the situation, your task is complete." In this way, you go back immediately and tell your Senior Commander Li that even if there is only one person left, you must block the little devil who has reinforcements for me. ”

The team that delivered the letter had not been gone for half an hour, and suddenly, the sound of gunfire outside the other three city gates slowly became quieter.

"What's the situation? Let's take a look at the other three gates. Yang Juan frowned, and ordered his subordinate staff officers.

"Report to the commander, it's not bad......" The staff officer who led the order went down had just gone down for half an hour, and suddenly ran back in a panic, and said breathlessly.

As soon as she saw the panicked appearance of her staff officers, Yang Juan's eyes widened, and a cold light approached the other party like a sharp sword: "You calm me down, don't you want to live anymore?" ”

Now the situation on the battlefield, the enemy is outnumbered, and the danger is everywhere, in fact, several city gates are more auspicious and less auspicious, if this guy's panic affects the morale of the army, this battle will be completely defeated without fighting.

"Report to the army commander......" The staff officer looked at Yang Juan's unkind gaze, reacted at once, and hurriedly suppressed his panic, and then stood up and reported loudly.

"Are you stupid, I can hear the quiet." Yang Juan eased her cold gaze a little, and immediately stopped and said. Needless to say, Yang Juan also understands that what the staff officer wants to say must not be a good thing, so Yang Juan must let others hear it as much as possible, so as not to affect the mood of his subordinates.

"Commander, I'm surrounded by little devils and the Imperial Army." Although the staff officer's voice was quiet, his face was not good-looking, and there was no blood at all.

"Be clear." Although Yang Juan's heart sank, there was not much change in her face, and she just asked in a deep voice.

"Commander, we are surrounded......" The staff officer may be really frightened and will only say this.

"If you don't calm down again, believe me, believe me and jump on you with a shot?" Yang Juan put her hand on the holster on her waist and said fiercely.

"I ...... Commander, that's what happened. According to your order, take people out to learn about the situation of the other three city gates, but as soon as you enter the mountain road leading to Beidongcheng Station, you see a large number of little devils and imperial allies rushing from the other side, enough to have thousands of people. As soon as I saw this, I knew that the situation at the East City Gate was not good, and the attacking brother might ...... Therefore, I took people and rushed towards the West City Gate, but before I could reach the intersection of the mountain road leading to the West City Gate, I saw a wave of Imperial Cooperative troops rushing down from the slope of the mountain, and there were quite a few of them...... "The staff officer finally explained what he saw.

"You said the east and west gates have been lost?"

"Yes, Commander, maybe the North City Gate is not much better......" The staff officer was already a lot quieter at this time, and said analytically.

"Well, it seems that only the road behind us has not yet been brought up. By the way, is there any news about the Chief of the General Staff? Yang Juan was shocked in her heart and hurried to the question.

"No, together with the commander of the guard company and the commander of the regiment in the future, there is no ...... of any news"

"No news at all? TMD, that's a bad thing...... Pass my order, the first division is on the left, the second division is on the right, respectively block the east and west gates of the little devils rushing over, the rest of the people, fight with me to retreat, occupy the commanding heights on both sides of the city gates. Yang Juan already realized that she had reached the most critical juncture. Now, even if you want to retreat, you may not be able to do so, so you can only stand up like this first, and then send someone to find the whereabouts of the chief of the general staff.

Yang Juan's army totaled only more than 3,000 people, and Gao Zhi and Division Commander Li took half of them away to snipe reinforcements from the direction of Benxi Lake, and now they have 1,400 or 500 people left under their own commands, two divisions, which are very famous, but one division is less than 1,000 people.
