Chapter 143: An Indelible Number
The telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army made the Falcon Special Operations Brigade and the 181st Regiment, which were already basically desperate and have a certain heart to die, see a glimmer of life again.
Three hours, in the long river of time, may not even be a drop of lang flowers, but now it has become the speed of life and death in the duel between the Chinese and Japanese armies. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Knowing that the 5th Division had sent the 11th Wing and the 62nd Wing to support him, Shun Sakamoto decided to do his best to leave the Falcon Special Operations Brigade and the 181st Regiment on this small hill called Xiaogushan. The headquarters of the Japanese North China Front has also sent a naval air force to take off from the aircraft carrier "Kaga" to support the operation.
The Falcon Special Operations Brigade and the 181st Regiment have already been killed, and naturally they are nailed to the small lonely mountain for half a step and refuse to retreat, and nearly 300 soldiers of the two Chinese troops have been sleeping on the position, corresponding to the corpses of thousands of Japanese soldiers densely packed in front of the position.
Xiaogu Mountain, this side of the Han River, with an altitude of only 203 meters, has become the focus of common attention of the Chinese and Japanese armies. More than 30,000 people from the 21st Brigade, 11th Wing, and 62nd Wing of the Japanese Army, and 70,000 people from the 74th, 51st, and 30th Armies of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army and the 181st, 183rd, and 184th Regiments of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the three columns of the decisive death, are all making a fuss around this hill that cannot be found on the map. A war of annihilation to lure the enemy into depth has become the current large-scale offensive and defensive battle, which Jiangshan never dreamed of.
He is just a small person, and now this little person has become a turning point in history.
The 21st Brigade now had less than 5,000 troops, and Sakamoto Shun was ruthless and ordered a desperate attack. Regardless of casualties, losses, or costs, there is only one purpose, to attack Xiaogushan and eliminate all Chinese!
The Japanese army is crazy! This is the most intuitive impression of Jiang Shan and Qiao Zhinan.
Under the supervision of the commander, thousands of Japanese troops rushed towards the positions of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade and the 181st Regiment with guns in hand and babbling. The earthy yellow figure is all over the mountains, looking from afar, like a turbid current frantically slapping the rock in Jiang's heart. The fighters didn't care about saving ammunition anymore, and the guns in their hands kept spitting tongues of fire. Japanese soldiers continued to scream and fall to the ground amid gunfire. The Japanese troops behind seemed to turn a blind eye, and they still kept charging and charging.
"Regiment commander, the position of the 3rd company is almost unbearable!" Qiao Zhinan's correspondent hurriedly ran over.
"Go to the reserves! Tell Long Haiguang! If you lose your position, he won't have to see me! Qiao Zhinan yelled with a white face, and the communicator was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly turned around and ran to convey the order. Qiao Zhinan was still not at ease, pulled out his shell gun, and said to Jiang Shan: "Captain Jiang, I'll go to the third company position to have a look." After saying that, he turned around and was about to rush out.
Jiang Shan grabbed him: "You are the commander!" Your position is in the command headquarters! Rushing forward now will only make the soldiers of the Third Company feel that you don't trust them! Wait here! ”
Qiao Zhinan turned back helplessly, but he kept turning in circles in a hurry, leaning out from time to time to look at the direction of the three companies' positions.
Three companies on the position.
There were only about two dozen soldiers left around the company commander Long Haiguang, and the other brothers were already lying on the position. In front of the position, there were hundreds of corpses of Japanese soldiers.
"Count the ammunition!" Long Haiguang gave the order in a low voice, and then laboriously opened the chamber of the shell gun, and there were only 7 yellow bullets in it.
"There are also 15 rifle rounds and two more grenades." The squad leader with a bandage on his head whispered.
"9 bullets, 1 grenade."
"The grenades are gone, 12 bullets."
"18 bullets, two grenades."
......
The voices that answered one by one came, and Long Haiguang's brows furrowed tightly. The position of the third company was in the middle of the two salients of the entire defensive line. Once the Japanese break through, then the Japanese army will drive straight from here and spread out on both sides. When the time comes, it will blossom from the center of the hinterland of the entire line of defense. At that time, no matter how tenacious the soldiers of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade and the 181st Regiment were, they were powerless.
In the past hour and a half, the 3rd Company has repelled 6 Japanese charges. The Japanese threw down nearly two hundred corpses, and still did not manage to step on the three-company position. And the price paid by the third company was 150 people when they took over the position, and only 27 people are left now. The fighters could still aim and shoot indifferently at first, but in the end, they were completely subconsciously pulling the trigger.
In an hour and a half, the Japanese were bound to launch an even more fierce charge. Long Haiguang looked at the soldiers around him and said: "Comrades, we have repelled 6 charges from the devils, and now, the Japanese army will definitely attack our position even more frantically." We only have these twenty-six now, and we don't have enough ammunition. Is anyone scared? ”
The remaining twenty-five fighters clenched their guns and looked at their company commander with firm eyes. When the battle has reached this point, no one can afford to be afraid. Or rather, the scared have become corpses on the battlefield. Looking at the determined gaze of the soldiers, Long Haiguang smiled: "Good job, worthy of being my brother Long Haiguang, there is no bad seed, they are all good men!" Don't say anything, we're going to be here with the little devils today! Killing one is enough, killing two earns one! ”
The squad leader tore off the bandage on his head, ignoring the blood flowing to the corners of his eyes, and said, "Afraid of the ball, when did we fight it three times?" It's a big deal, eighteen years later, it's a good man again! ”
A soldier next to him said unwillingly: "It's a pity, I'm afraid we won't have three companies in the future." ”
Hearing this, Long Haiguang's body trembled imperceptibly, and the others were also silent.
"Communicator! Running to tell the regiment commander, just say that the three oaths to live and die with the position! Even if there is the last person left, it will definitely not let the devil get a bargain! Go for it, and ...... You don't have to come back! ”
Everyone knew in their hearts that the communicator Xiao Zhao was the youngest in the whole company, only 16 years old. Long Haiguang saw that he was young, so he kept him by his side to do errands, and easily refused to let him go to the battlefield. Now, the company commander wants to leave a seed for the third company.
No one envied, and no one complained. Everyone thinks that it is a matter of course to leave the hope of life to the youngest brother.
"Company commander, I'm not going!" Xiao Zhao is a child's heart in the end, crying loudly.
"Little bunny! Execute the command! Believe it or not, I enforce battlefield discipline?! Long Haiguang roared with a dark face.
"Don't go! I'm not going! I won't go if you shoot me! The three companies are gone, the brothers are gone, what do I have to run for alone? I'm going to be with you! Company commander, please keep me, I can shoot! I killed a devil just now! Xiao Zhao's face was full of tears, crying and pleading.
"Xiao Zhao, the company commander is for your good, why don't you understand? In this battle, our three companies must fight to the death. No one dares to say that they are still alive. You're still young, don't stay with us. The squad leader was trying to persuade on the side.
"I'm also a member of the Third Company, why are you not afraid of death, I am afraid of death? First squad leader, you help me tell the company commander, I want to stay, I want to be with you! "Xiao Zhao can't listen to anything now, and his mind stays on the battlefield.
Long Haiguang on the side couldn't stand it anymore, dragged him over, put his hands on his shoulders, looked at his eyes, and said slowly: "Xiao Zhao, listen to the eldest brother, go down!" Live well, marry a daughter-in-law in the future, give birth to a baby, tell him what his uncles and uncles in the third company have done, and come to burn some paper money for his brothers during the Qingming Festival. Don't let future generations forget our third company, if possible, tell the regiment commander to leave some blood for the third company! Go ahead! ”
Xiao Zhao stopped talking, looked at him fixedly, and slowly turned his head to look at the other fighters. The other twenty or so fighters all smiled slightly and waved at him: "Go, the devil will come up in a while, and he won't be able to leave!" ”
At this time, the soldier who was on guard suddenly shouted: "Company commander, the devil is coming up again!" Long Haiguang got up in a hurry, kicked Xiao Zhao's buttocks, and yelled: "Get out!" ! ”
Xiao Zhao wiped the tears from his eyes, turned around and saluted a solemn military salute to the soldiers on the battlefield, and shouted loudly: "Company commander!" A squad leader! You must live! With that, he turned around and ran out.
"Don't forget to tell the regiment commander to leave a seed for the third company!" Long Haiguang's voice came from behind him from afar.
Seeing that Xiao Zhao ran off the position and disappeared around the corner, Long Haiguang turned around and laughed: "Okay, the last bit of worry is gone!" Brothers, go with your brother to kill devils! ”
The warrior behind him grabbed his gun, laughed heroically, and shouted in his mouth: "Little devil, come on!" Your Chinese grandfather is here! ”
In the temporary headquarters, Qiao Zhinan listened to Long Haiguang's order relayed by Xiao Zhao, and his fists clenched tightly. In the distance, fierce gunfire continued to be heard from the positions of the third company, and then gradually thinned out. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering bang, and finally everything fell silent.
"Three in a row is over!" Qiao Zhinan's tears flowed down, and he muttered in his mouth.
"Regiment commander, our company commander said, let you leave a root for the third company." Xiao Zhao burst into tears and said crying.
Jiang Shan next to him said in a deep voice: "Commander Qiao, as the captain of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade, I ask you to keep the number of the first battalion of the 181st Regiment and the third company!" To rebuild the third company, equipment and materials are needed, and our Falcon Special Operations Brigade will provide them unconditionally! After the reconstruction, I can assign the elite personnel of the Falcon Special Operations Group to serve as military instructors. ”
Qiao Zhinan looked at him and said word by word: "You don't need to say it, my third company will also be rebuilt!" I'm just going to tell everyone, even if my troops run out of people to the last man! At least the spirit is still there, he is an indelible number! ”
