Chapter 248: Rather die for a martyr
The headquarters of the Devil's Garrison Corps in Pingding County began to send a telegram, and the Japanese troops who received the telegram quickly took action.
The cavalry battalion, under the leadership of Chen Guitang, continued to attack the corps headquarters under the mountain, but the cavalry was best at mobile warfare, and it was obviously a little difficult for them to attack the corps headquarters with light and heavy machine guns.
You must know that Pingding County was recovered by Brigade Commander Chen's troops, and after the Japanese army captured Pingding County again, they reinforced it.
Especially after Hideichi Takano came here, he completely turned his headquarters into a large bunker.
Not to mention that these are just cavalry equipped with rifles and sabers, even if the infantry is allowed to attack, it will be difficult to break through the corps headquarters where Yamashita Fengwen is located.
It's just that the cavalry battalion has entered the county seat after all, and the number of Japanese puppet troops in the county town is not very large now, especially the puppet army troops have no intention of fighting at all.
Even if the cavalry battalion could not break through Yamashita Fengwen's corps headquarters, they still posed a threat to Yamashita Fengwen's corps headquarters.
However, Yamashita was considered a famous Japanese general, and his reaction speed was very fast.
When he realized that the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment was simply not capable of breaking through his corps headquarters, he quickly gave orders to Kiyozaburo Okazaki's 2nd Infantry Wing.
The cavalry battalion was still attacking the corps headquarters under Yamashita, but unfortunately, the cavalry attack did not make much progress.
After a brief period of confusion, the two infantry wings quickly began to make adjustments.
After Okazaki Kiyozaburo received Yamashita Fengfumi's telegram, he quickly stopped returning to the corps headquarters in Pingding County, but Yamashita Fumi's telegram asked him to lead his troops to quickly return to Nanzhuang Village and cooperate with Hasegawaji's 1st Infantry Wing to find and pursue the independent regiment troops that broke through, but Okazaki Kiyozaburo did not dare to do so.
If the corps headquarters of Pingding County is really broken and Yamashita Fengfumi is really killed, this responsibility Okazaki Kiyozaburo cannot bear.
He sent back the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Fifth Brigade reinforced by Yamashita Fengwen and the cavalry and armored troops attached to it, while he quickly returned to Nanzhuang Village with the remaining troops of his Second Infantry Wing, preparing to cooperate with the First Infantry Wing.
In order to be able to completely annihilate Sun Weiguo's troops, the North China Front used many troops, and the directly transferred troops included an infantry division, a garrison corps, and two independent mixed brigades.
There were more than 10,000 garrison corps that directly attacked Sun Weiguo's Independent Regiment, and even if these 10,000 people were against tens of thousands of regular Chinese troops, there would be no problem.
Sun Weiguo's independent regiment only had more than 1,000 people, and the ratio of troops between the two sides reached about 1:10.
It can be said that there is no chance of winning such a battle, and even though Sun Weiguo used his excellent command ability to constantly mobilize Japanese troops to create the best opportunity to break through.
But the Separate Regiment, having lost most of its infantry battalion and artillery battalion, was still in great danger.
On the regimental headquarters position in the center of three villages, including Nanzhuang Village, more than 200 seriously wounded people were waiting to be transferred.
Most of the nurses and doctors of the health team were left behind, and they were looking anxiously ahead.
But at this moment, flares began to rise in the sky, and the dark night instantly seemed like day.
The roar of the tank gradually came, mixed with the sound of neat footsteps.
This is the beginning of the action of the Japanese roundabout troops, which have a wing of artillery, a brigade of infantry, and a squadron of tanks.
After the artillery wing captured the position on Naozhai Mountain, they reinforced the 1st Infantry Wing, effectively striking at the actions of the armored company.
When the artillery wing learned that the second infantry wing urgently returned to Pingding County, the commander of the Ozuo wing, Nobuo Kobayashi, in accordance with Yamashita Fufumi's order, left a part of the infantry and tanks to guard the artillery position on Naozhai Mountain, and dispatched more than 300 infantry and six tanks to quickly rush to the headquarters of the independent regiment.
Probably for fear of injuring their own people by mistake, the Japanese artillery only fired flares, and they did not shell the position of the regimental headquarters, because the Japanese artillery wing had already been informed, and it was very likely that the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment had broken through.
It's just that they didn't know that the first infantry wing sent people here in advance to check the situation, Zhong Jian served as the Japanese army would hurt the seriously wounded, so he led the troops to attract the Japanese army, and the regimental headquarters position was here, leaving only the seriously wounded and the doctors and nurses of the health team.
The troops sent by the roundabout troops picked up a big bargain, and the regimental position at this time had no ability to resist.
"It's the tanks and troops of the Japanese army, you guys go quickly, leave us some gas." A seriously wounded man looked at the doctor next to him, and he said with a pained expression.
This seriously wounded man, a staff officer of the regimental headquarters, was shot through the chest by a Japanese rifle bullet while guarding the regimental headquarters, and his life could have been saved.
The lives of many seriously wounded can be saved through rescue, but the independent regiment has no rear, and what Sun Weiguo can do is to save their lives as much as possible.
If these seriously wounded people are evacuated with the troops, they will not be able to withstand the toss, and only by sending them to the tunnels of Nanzhuang Village can their lives be saved.
It's just that Sun Weiguo wouldn't have expected that Yamashita Fengwen's reaction was very fast, and the Japanese army units also took quick action.
The Japanese troops, more than 300 people, under the cover of six tanks, gradually approached the regimental position.
When the doctor heard the words of this regimental staff officer, his face was full of stunned, and he did not understand what this regimental staff officer wanted to do.
"Leave us some gas, and you guys will go." When the regimental staff officer saw the doctor in a daze, his brows furrowed tightly, and he shouted emotionally.
Because the tremor of the body triggered the wound, bright red blood began to ooze from the chest of the regimental staff officer.
"Staff Officer Liu, what are you going to do, we can take you away, we ......" The doctor vaguely guessed the staff officer's intentions, and he said with an anxious face.
All the seriously wounded, as well as the doctors and nurses, looked at Staff Officer Liu, and the seriously injured had a calm expression on their faces, and they also knew what Staff Officer Liu wanted to do.
"When the national disaster is at the head, our generation of soldiers bear the brunt, and we are proud of the horse leather shroud. Born as a Chinese anti-Japanese soldier, he died as the soul of the Chinese anti-Japanese army, and he would rather die as a martyr than live as a prisoner. It's just a pity that we can't see the day of victory against Japan. ”
Staff Officer Liu looked at the doctor with a firm gaze, and said in an unusually serious tone.
"Leave us some gas, you evacuate quickly, the independent regiment can't do without you doctors and nurses." Seriously wounded people shouted loudly and roughly.
