Chapter 223: Bloody Battle
While the 3rd Special Operations Regiment was busy eating the Potian detachment, other places did not stop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Hanyu's 20th Army and Xia Shouxun's 78th Army, although they are not the descendants of Chairman Jiang, can be regarded as an iron army that has experienced a hundred battles. The Sichuan army was already brave and good at fighting, although the equipment was poor, but the will to resist the war was strong, and the people of the country were unsurpassed. Coupled with Yang Hanyu and Xia Shouxun, two veterans who can fight well, their combat effectiveness has risen a lot.
After Xue Yue's order in the street, the two of them also wondered, the enemy is currently stationing in the Xinqiang River, Jinjing, and Laodao River, instead of stationing in the Xinqiang River, Jinjing, and Laodao River, but instead running back and forth, what kind of thing is this? However, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and despite the reluctance of 11,000 in their hearts, the two men still led their troops and drove in the direction of Yuelu Mountain according to the order.
The troops had marched for half a day, and before they had gone 30 kilometers, Xue Yue's second order came again -- the 20th Army and the 78th Army immediately stopped advancing, established defensive positions on the spot, and blocked the invading Japanese 106th Division and 6th Division Nara Detachment and Kamimura Detachment!
As soon as this order came, Yang Hanyu and Xia Shouxun's first feeling was that Xue Yue was crazy!
Two poorly equipped miscellaneous armies, resisting the strength of one and a half divisions of the Japanese army, this account has no chance of winning. Fortunately, Xue Yue's supplementary order soon came, as long as the Japanese attack was resisted for 24 hours, the 20th Army and the 78th Army could wait for an opportunity to break away from the battle, and the whole army would move into the mountainous area and take advantage of the terrain to engage in large-scale movement warfare with the Japanese army.
"Commander, this battle can't be fought at all." Liu Ruobi, commander of the new 13th Division of the 78th Army, complained to the commander Xia Shouxun with a bitter face, "I won't talk about my new 13th Division, there are 20,000 people in the full fight, there are only 8,000 guns in total, and those who have ten bullets in their pockets are all rich people; The new 16th Division is not much better than me, and Lao Wu is living a life with buckles and ropes, and he almost used his third aunt's jewelry as an exchange for arms. We have such a little family background, and it will take twenty-four hours to withstand the attack of a division of devils? To put it mildly, was Chief Xue kicked in the head by a donkey? ”
"Bang!" Xia Shouxun stood up and slapped the table hard: "Shut up!" Ge Lao Tzu Land! Twitter crookedly like a girl, shame on Lao Tzu! What happened to a division? A division will not fight? Lao Tzu's 78th Army is not easy to fight against a division, but his Yang Wazi's 20th Army is easy to fight? Don't forget, in front of him are the Uemura detachment and the Nara detachment! It's all the elite of the 6th Division! If this battle is not fought well, can we still raise our heads in front of his 20th Army? ”
After being scolded, Liu Ruobi sighed "sigh", shook his head slightly, and walked out in amazement. After this battle is fought, not to mention whether it can withstand the Japanese offensive, even if it can be won by luck, I am afraid it will also be a disastrous victory. If you don't pay attention, the 78th Army will be buried here.
At 1 p.m., the new 16th Division of the 78th Army took the lead in making contact with the vanguard of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army. What Xia Shouxun didn't expect was that less than two hours after the battle began, a battalion of the new 16th Division was defeated like a mountain, and simply lost its position.
"What's going on? It's only been a little over an hour, and you've lost your position to me? What about the military order that was given to me before I went to battle? I'll tell you Zhang Wenshan! Organize death squads immediately and take back the position for me! Song Yunjie, the commander of the 211th Regiment of the New 16th Division, scolded on the phone, "I'll tell you!" If I lose my position, the military seat will definitely want my head! But before the military seat beheaded me, I must have cut off your head first! Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't have the ability to slash horses with tears! ”
Zhang Wenshan, the commander of the second battalion of the 211th Regiment, is also holding back the fire now. Originally, the pre-war arrangements were very good, so they set up suspicious formations and lured the enemy into depth. With this stubborn tactics and favorable terrain, he was confident that he would hold out on to his position for half a day. But what I never expected was that as soon as the battle began, the commander of the fourth company in charge of the right flank of the position was frightened by the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, and left the position and slipped away alone.
It didn't matter if he ran, the entire fourth company immediately fell into a leaderless situation, and after only half an hour of chaotic resistance, the Japanese Nara detachment successfully broke through the right defense line of the 211th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment. Immediately afterwards, the Japanese made a detour from the flank with the strength of a squadron, and the middle and left flank of the 2nd Battalion's defense line quickly collapsed under the front and rear attacks of the Japanese army.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Wenshan shook his head and smiled bitterly. The order of the regiment commander was clear: organize death squads and recapture positions! However, where did he organize death squads? In just one and a half hours, there were less than 400 of the more than 800 brothers under his command, including dozens of wounded, and the battle loss rate exceeded 50 percent. He is now even tightly staffed to organize death squads, besides, what is the use of organizing death squads and trying their best to regain the position? The Japanese only need one charge, and this position is probably about to be lost.
"Battalion commander, what should I do?" The commander of the fifth company looked at Zhang Wenshan with a dark face and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Wenshan sighed and said, "What else can I do?" Fight! Lao Tzu's more than 100 catties are here today! The fourth company is not to be counted on, the fifth company commander, you and the sixth company each have thirty people, plus thirty people from the battalion headquarters guard platoon, to form a death squad! Take advantage of the devil's unstable foothold, give me a counter-charge, and strive to take back the position! ”
The commander of the fifth company was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Battalion commander, after the battle just now, there are more than 70 people left in my hands. The Sixth Company held the central position just now, and the battle damage was greater than ours, and the whole company could move, and there were still about 50 people in the sky. You took away 30 people at once, that is, you took back the position, what should we do to hold the position? ”
Zhang Wenshan frowned and pondered for a long time, and said: "In this way, the fifth company is thirty, the sixth company is twenty, and the remaining fifty people are drawn from the guard platoon and battalion headquarters of our battalion headquarters!" The rest of the 5th, 6th and 7th companies are on standby, and if the death squad takes the position, the follow-up troops will immediately consolidate the position and prevent the Japanese from counterattacking! ”
Seeing that the fifth company commander wanted to say something more, Zhang Wenshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's do it according to this." Execute the command! Thirty minutes later, the death squad struck! ”
Thirty minutes later, a death squad of 100 men from the 2nd Battalion was ready to go.
Zhang Wenshan stood in front of the formation and said in a deep voice: "The only son in the family, three generations of single transmission, out of the ranks!" ”
It was quiet, deathly quiet, and only a rush of breathing could be heard in the queue, and no one came out of the ranks.
"Those whose parents are old and have no one to serve them are out of the ranks!"
It's still quiet.
"If you have a wife and children, get out of the ranks!
It's still quiet.
"Ming Wazi, out of the ranks!" The commander of the fifth company shouted violently.
With the shouts of the commander of the fifth company, a soldier who was not tall moved out of the last stage of the death squad, and his slightly immature face was full of reluctance.
"Lao Tzu, this is a death squad, and he is desperately going with the devil! It's not about catching grasshoppers and catching crickets! What are you a sixteen-year-old doll mixed with? ”
The young soldier blushed and exclaimed, "What's wrong with sixteen?" In the play, Ganluo is twelve years old, four years younger than me!
The commander of the fifth company shouted angrily: "Nonsense! Is this storytelling and watching a play? It's a war! If you go up, you will die! Ming Wazi, go back! ”
Zhang Wenshan asked: "Fifth Company Commander, what's going on?" ”
The commander of the fifth company whispered: "This kid's name is Tan Tianming, a native of Shandong, and he is only sixteen years old this year. During the Battle of Xuzhou last year, his father sent him and his brother to the front. When his brother fought in Xuzhou last year, he died in Teng County, and his body was not even found. He is the only seedling left in his house. ”
Zhang Wenshan whispered: "Find someone and replace him." Leave a queen for his house. ”
Although his voice was small, Tan Tianming listened to it very clearly. The kid stiffened his neck and said, "Battalion commander, you don't need to take care of me!" The family is gone, what's the use of keeping this life? My brother is not afraid of death, if I retreat, it will be a shame for my old Tan family! ”
Hearing his words, Zhang Wenshan didn't say anything more, just patted Tan Tianming's still immature shoulder hard, turned around and shouted: "Guard, Tan Tianming, a soldier of the fifth company, openly disobeyed the commander's order, got his gun down, and confined him for three days!" ”
The two guards behind Zhang Wenshan strode forward and took off the gun behind Tan Tianming's back. Tan Tianming was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Battalion commander, I don't accept it!" I didn't disobey orders! ”
One of the guards whispered, "Little brother, can't you see what the battalion commander means?" Come with us, don't waste the battalion commander's kindness. ”
The other soldiers of the death squad were silent, and none of them said a word, in fact, they all knew that Zhang Wenshan's confinement of Tan Tianming at this time was actually trying to save his life and leave a queen for the old Tan family.
After understanding the battalion commander's hard work, Tan Tianming no longer struggled, but turned around, knelt down violently in the direction of the death squad, kowtowed three times, and said loudly: "Big brothers, you go first!" When I'm settled down, I'll go down there to find you, and then we'll kill the devil together!" ”
