Chapter XVII: Friendly Forces
The sound of gunfire and killing shook the sky, and the national army troops in front launched a whole army charge, and the devils couldn't parry.
At this moment, the thunderous hoofs sounded again, and the cavalry regiment was back to kill! The devils who were attacked from both sides finally couldn't hold on, and after another symbolic resistance, the hundreds of devils on the position began to rout.
There are infantry in front and cavalry in the back, and it is not so easy for the devil to escape. Hu Fei is a little curious, which way will the devil run? The front and back are full of strong enemies, and only the left and right sides are the way to survive. Originally, Hu Fei thought that the devils would run in all directions after the rout, but he happened to chase and kill the cavalry in all directions, but he didn't expect that the remaining hundreds of devils all fled in one direction.
Looking at the appearance of the devils running away in a mess, it doesn't look like an organized retreat, is it true that the ghost soldiers' Su zhì is really so high, they even know where to flee after losing the battle and escaping? The answer was soon revealed, and it turned out that there was another Japanese army attacking the mountain in the direction of the devil's escape.
This army attacking the top of the mountain is more numerous than the devils who escaped before the rout, this is the main force. No wonder the devils have lost the battle and want to run this way, they are looking for shelter from the large army.
Four or five hundred here, six or seven hundred over there, and the two sides add up to more than a thousand devils! can fight a tie with so many devils, and the national army will have at least one brigade. The two armies looked at each other, and it was the 12th Division of the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army that was fighting the devil head-on, and the division commander Cun Xingqi personally led the troops.
Emaciated, thick eyebrows, tiger-eyed. Although the smoke of gunpowder was billowing on the battlefield, the commander of the inch division still had a good appearance and neat uniform, showing a very high military quality. This is the first impression that Inch Xingqi brought to Hu Fei. This is a true battleground tiger! Hu Fei couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration when he saw his strange face.
"Hu Fei, commander of the 88th Column of the Decisive Army." Hu Fei gave the anti-Japanese tiger general a military salute in a proper manner.
"The commander of the 12th Division of the Third Army is strange. Thanks to Commander Hu's help, our army was able to get out of the predicament. "The strange words of the inch are polite, and the salute is standard, which shows that this person is broad-minded.
Others are polite, of course Hu Fei will be even more polite. Besides, he also admires this inch division commander, not any division commander can come to the front line to fight with five hundred devils, "Inch division commander is too polite." Even if Hu doesn't come today. It was expected that it would only be a matter of time before the commander defeated the Japanese invaders, and Hu rushed to participate in the war, but he only advanced this time a little earlier. ”
The battle is still going on, and this is still a battlefield, and it is impossible for the two commanders to exchange feelings on this battlefield for a long time. After the two of them exchanged a few words of greeting, they immediately pulled Hu Fei to introduce the composition of the Japanese army and the cooperation between the two armies.
The gang of devils who let him run away just now and the devils who were attacking the mountain were actually two brigades, two different wings belonging to the 37th Division of the Devils. The four or five hundred people Hu Fei saw were not so many people in one brigade of devils, but were beaten into four or five hundred by the 12th Division led by Commander Cun. Now there were less than three hundred men left in this brigade to join their allies in victory.
The hill where the devils feinted was guarded by a regiment of the 12th Division. Although it occupies the advantage of geographical advantages, after such a long time, there are still many people left in the regiment on the mountain, and there is no bottom in his heart.
"Commander Hu, your cavalry unit is fast and can go around the rear of the devils to attack. I flanked the Japanese with the infantry of the 12th Division from the left flank. You and I are attacked from both sides, and the Japanese will definitely be defeated! I'm just worried about whether the regiment on the hill will survive until the end of the battle. Cun Xingqi looked at the top of the hill and frowned. Apparently he did not have much confidence in the regiment on the hill that was responsible for the defense.
"Master Cun doesn't have to worry. You put a regiment on it, and I also sent a regiment, presumably now those two regiment commanders are arguing over who will be the main attacker and who will be the auxiliary. ”
"Oh? How could such a thing happen? Hahaha, Commander Hu, you have helped me a lot! After this victory, I must treat you to a drink! "I heard that the mountain is worry-free, and I was overjoyed. As for whether the two regiment commanders on the hill would quarrel because of the dispute between the main and deputy heads, he couldn't care about it.
"Okay, I remember what Master Cun said, and when this battle is over, I will definitely come to the door to disturb me. I'll eat you this victory wine. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Subsequently, Cun Xingqi led the troops to chase the ass and launched an attack on the fleeing devils. Hu Fei remounted his horse and led the cavalry regiment to the rear of the Japanese army.
On the mountain, Li San really had a quarrel with the commander of the 12th Division, who was originally guarding the mountain, as Hu Fei expected. Li San and his first regiment were ordered by Hu Fei to seize the mountain, but they were intercepted halfway through. After the two sides negotiated, they knew that it was also the national army, and the defenders on the mountain let them go.
After Li San led his troops up the mountain, he was warmly received by the commander of the Third Army. They were in a tight situation on the mountain, and Li San's regiment happened to come. With one more regiment of reinforcements, this hill must be foolproof. Since you're here, let's join the battle, right? Head Wang asked what Head Li meant. Li San naturally agreed, he came to fight devils, how can he fight if he doesn't participate in the battle?
There was originally one regiment on the mountain, but now it has become two. Although there were many people, they belonged to two armies. Commander Wang felt that if he let the troops of the 88th Column supplement his position, it seemed to be a little disrespectful to the other party. So, he asked Commander Li to take the troops to the auxiliary positions on both sides to defend it, and Commander Wang could withdraw the troops from the auxiliary positions, which was equivalent to him giving up two positions to friendly troops.
This is actually quite good, the main position and the secondary position echo each other and act as horns, which can be better defended. But Li San was not happy. After going up the mountain, he observed that the regiment of the Third Army had already suffered more than half of the casualties, which meant that their combat effectiveness was no longer enough to be the boss on this mountain. The strength is not good, and it is a bit inappropriate to still occupy the position and not let go, right?
Li San still uses the law of the jungle to look at the things in front of him, if you can't do it, give way and change to the capable.
Originally, the two of them talked well, but as a result, Li San talked about the garrison of the main position, and this Wang Regiment Commander didn't let it. The hilltop position was arranged for him by the commander of the division, and if he handed over the position to the friendly army without authorization, how would the commander of the division ask him in the future? Besides, how long have we been guarding the mountain, and how many people have died? Why do I have to give it to you as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip?
