Chapter 20: Accidents!
"Retreat!"
When these two words came out of Goofy's mouth, Lao Hei and Thunder were completely stupid, as if they didn't believe it was true.
Fall back? Is it really possible to retreat? They still thought that in this life, in this life, they would never hear such an order again. When the order came, they suddenly became confused.
"Retreat!"
Goofy repeated the order again: "Old Black, help me pick up the thunder, go, let's go down!" The blood of the brethren will be repaid by me in the future! ”
Gao Fei and Lao Hei hung all the weapons they could bring with them, and then, with one hand and their own guns in the other, they walked out of the position step by step.
The moment they stepped out of the position, they stopped together and slowly looked back.
That's their own position, their own, no, the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army held on to their position for 7 days!
There, how many loyal souls of the Sichuan army brothers are buried?
There, it is the place where Ermao fell, there, it is the place where the stone died, there, it is the place where the Jieguji was martyred, and there, there, there
Every inch of land is stained with the blood of the Sichuan Army brothers, every piece of soil is buried with the loyal souls of the Sichuan Army brothers, and every air is fluttering with the heroic souls of the Sichuan Army brothers!
In 7 days, the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army, under the cover of no aircraft, artillery, and tanks, with a serious lack of heavy weapons, and without any reinforcements, they held the position for 7 days!
What kind of miracle is this?
How did such a miracle come about?
A team of nearly 10,000 people before entering the battlefield of Lihu could gather less than 700 people after seven days of fighting. The 26th Division was almost wiped out, and nearly 10,000 brothers spilled their blood on the battlefield!
Two of the four regiment commanders of the division were killed and one wounded; Fourteen battalion commanders suffered thirteen casualties; More than 250 company and platoon commanders were killed or wounded.
Most of the teams that were lucky enough to survive and were able to assemble were lightly wounded with bandages; There were almost no serious wounded. At the most critical moment of the position, the seriously wounded were all strapped with explosives, and then they rang the fuse and rushed towards the army without hesitation
The surviving brothers of the 26th Division were all poorly dressed, and some of them wore trousers that could not be seen to be trousers or shorts; Everyone was splattered with mud and blackened and fresh stains of blood; Everyone was dark and thin, with a big hair and beard, and it was impossible to tell if they were alive or not except for the weapons in their hands and their eyes were blazing!
In the Battle of Lihu, [***] the troops participating in the battle totaled seventy-two divisions, all of which were on the defensive, except for an offensive at the beginning of the battle and a counteroffensive dominated by the Guangxi Army in the middle.
Under the fierce attack of the superior weapons of the Chinese army, a division is often beaten to pieces and lost its combat capability after a few days on top, and it must be withdrawn and replaced in the rear for reconstruction. Some divisions even lasted for two or three days before they collapsed.
It is rare for a division like the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army to hold on to its position for seven days and seven nights, and it will not back down even if it is almost exhausted
Gao Fei and Lao Hei walked over slowly with the injured Thunder. They were greeted by Zhu Zaitang, the commander of the 76th Brigade!
He had to greet them personally, because the 6th Company was the last unit of the entire 26th Division to withdraw from its position!
"Report to the commander, the 26th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 151st Regiment of the 76th Brigade of the Sichuan Army is ordered to retreat!" Goofy held Thunder and said loudly.
Looking at the three brothers in front of him, Zhu Zaitang's nose was sour, and tears almost flowed out in front of his subordinates.
They were the last to receive the order to retreat, from the division headquarters to the regimental headquarters, they had been making phone calls from the 6th Company, but no one answered, and everyone almost thought that the 6th Company, which had been at the forefront all the time, had long since left no one alive. If it weren't for the regiment commander Fu Bingxun insisting on making another phone call, the three brothers in front of him might still be on the ground until now!
Zhu Zaitang slowly raised his hand and saluted.
"6 companies, all of them, salute!" Goofy straightened the thunder and said loudly.
6 even, all of them, salute!
Even if only the last person remains, the 6th Company is still there, and the brothers are still there!
Even if only the last person remains, the 26th Division is still there, and the Sichuan Army is still there!
However, neither Zhu Zaitang nor Gao Fei knew that at this time, an unexpected situation had happened
"Senior Commander Feng, Senior Commander Feng!" Facing Division Commander Feng who came to take over the defense, Liu Yuqing, the commander of the 26th Division, almost cried:
"Commander Feng, the positions are all in our hands! Why, why! ”
There was no expression on Division Commander Feng's face, so he brought the map, pointed to it and said, "Division Commander Liu, look, there is still a small piece of the front-line position you defended in the hands of the Orientals, and this is here, where this river is crossed!" ”
"Senior Commander Feng!" Liu Yuqing roared loudly: "It's just such a small place, and it doesn't have any impact on the entire front-line position!" ”
Division Commander Feng shook his head: "That's not good, the task I got is to take over a complete position, complete, understand, Division Commander Liu!" Now that the other side of the river is still in the hands of the Orientals, it is not a complete position! Once the peak is held accountable in the future, I can't afford to take this responsibility! ”
Liu Yuqing's voice was almost pleading: "Senior Commander Feng, my 26th Division is finished, it's over!" Nearly 10,000 brothers are gone! I only have 700 men in my hands now, and there is hardly a single one that is not injured! How are you going to ask me to take the position back? How do you take the position back then? Master Feng, I beg you, I beg you, Liu Yuqing! ”
Senior Commander Feng hesitated, but then shook his head: "Senior Commander Liu, if it's not my brother, I'm embarrassed for you, in the future, my division will be exhausted, and the people who will come to pick up and defend me will also say such things!" Division Commander Liu, the sky is about to dawn, and when the day dawns, the Orientals will find that you have retreated, and we have not yet taken over the defense, and the entire position is Oriental. Hurry up and organize an attack! ”
"Okay, I'll go, I'll take the position back! Lao Tzu's 26th division is gone, die, everyone die! Liu Yuqing roared loudly, roared, and suddenly his voice was low:
"Senior Commander Feng, I'll just ask you for one last thing, I've run out of ammunition, give me a batch of bullets and grenades, can you?"
Senior Commander Feng nodded happily this time: "Bullets and grenades, I'll give them to you!" I'll give you 6 more machine guns and 12 flower traps, and that's the only thing I can do to help you! ”
Liu Yuqing glanced at Senior Commander Feng coldly, and then strode out of here!
