Chapter 36: Helpless Emergency Retreat (Supplemental Edition)
At the headquarters of the first division, Chang Ge, whose face was gloomy, lowered his head and frowned. www.biquge.info Originally, after thirteen days of hard fighting, today we were about to win the second battle to defend the Lynn River. However, it was precisely at this juncture that the old enemy Tang Jinshan just played a cold heartbeat for him! How could he not be on fire?
What is even more infuriating is that the enemy's sneak attack on Wunitang this time has caused more harm to the PLA than the last attack on Linhe County. Last time, although the enemy attacked the county town twice, in terms of the overall situation, it was still a frontal push, and the PLA was only attacked by the enemy on one side, and there were still sufficient reserves to deal with emergencies.
This time, however, the enemy opened a gap from the flank of the PLA defensive line, and the PLA garrison, which was weak in strength, saw that the enemy was approaching fiercely, so they had to fight and retreat. The enemy soon occupied Beiguan in Linhe County. After occupying Beiguan, the enemy did not immediately advance to the in-depth attack in the city, but quickly occupied the favorable terrain of Beiguan and turned to the defense. Since then, the PLA has carried out three counterattacks, all of which have not worked.
At present, the PLA is unable to defeat the enemy who has advanced and occupied Beiguan, and at the same time it is attacked by the enemy's main force head-on, so Tang Jinshan's carefully planned vaulting operation has formed a dangerous situation of flanking the PLA from the front and rear. The trouble is that Chang Ge no longer has a formed reserve in his hands.
At this moment, he said to Wei Yi and several staff officers who were looking at each other in front of him with a heavy heart: "Order all units of the division to immediately withdraw from their existing positions and move to the areas of Wuligou, Sunjiatai, and Baiguoji, and pay attention to maintaining alternate cover when retreating, so as to prevent the enemy from grabbing the tail." ”
"Lin Hecheng was lost like this?" Wei Yi's eyes widened, and he was a little unwilling.
Ren Qi also answered, "Can't you not withdraw it?" Losing the county seat is a huge loss. ”
"What matters now is that the first division is not lost!" Chang Ge gritted his teeth, "If we don't retreat, the enemy will surround us within five hours!" Then the loss will be even greater! I'm in charge of this, so let's do it quickly. ”
Wei Yi turned his gaze to Luo Zhiping, who was standing next to Chang Ge but had a higher position than Chang Ge, obviously hoping that Luo Zhiping would come out to stop Chang Ge's decision. But although Luo Zhiping's face was gloomy and he was reluctant to give up Lin He, at this moment, he still said resolutely: "If you have an opinion, let's talk about it later, now it is necessary to carry out the order of Master Chang!" ”
The originally orderly division headquarters suddenly became chaotic, and the cadres and soldiers stacked drawings, collected telephone lines, and moved boxes. Ren Qi held a stack of documents and materials in both hands and threw them into the brazier, and the originally faint blue flame suddenly turned into a flame, big and high, and kept spitting black smoke.
On the outskirts of Linhe City, on the position of the first battalion of the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army is bravely blocking the enemy. The People's Liberation Army had already repelled three enemy attacks, and at this moment, in the face of another attack by the enemy, a battalion under the command of the battalion commander Feng Tao suddenly opened fire after putting the Chiang troops at the front of the position, and the Chiang soldiers were caught off guard and fell down one after another. The soldiers behind hurriedly lay down on the spot, not daring to continue to advance, and took the initiative to crawl back a little.
Taking advantage of the enemy's inability to continue advancing, some PLA soldiers cautiously crawled up to the defeated Chiang soldiers, picked up the submachine guns that the opponents had thrown on the ground, and swept at the enemy behind. The soldiers of Chiang's army, who were attacked, were frightened and retreated faster. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the enemy officers had no choice but to give the order to stop the attack.
At this time, the position in the interval of the battle was exceptionally silent, and many fires were still burning, constantly spitting out puffs of black smoke.
A group of men and women wearing variegated clothes, wearing weapons, and carrying backpacks walked along the communication trench of the position, bending over and bowing their heads to pass through the four gates of the exhibition, they were cadres of the Linhe County Party Committee and County Government.
A young female cadre with curved eyebrows, a small mouth, gray clothes, and short hair walked up to Feng Tao, who was observing the enemy situation in front of her with a telescope in hand, and shouted softly, "Battalion Commander Feng." ”
Feng Tao looked back and saw that it was Ding Xiang, an assistant of the county party committee. The little girl that Feng Tao rescued in the county seat was handed over to her.
Feng Tao hurriedly pulled Lilac and bent down into the anti-artillery hole on the inside of the trench, which was very narrow and could only accommodate two or three people.
At this moment, Feng Tao asked softly: "Xiao Ding, Lin Hecheng is going to launch, and we should be ordered to cover the retreat of the whole division now, have you received a notice from your superiors?" ”
Ding Xiang nodded, "On the eve of the first battle to defend the Lin River, the superiors instructed us that if we want to abandon the Lin River, the organs at the county and district levels must organize a military engineering team to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines on the spot. At that time, I had already been appointed as the instructor of the No. 3 Martial Arts Brigade in Linhe County. Speaking of this, Lilac smiled bitterly, "After a two-month delay, I, the instructor, are now finally taking office." ”
Feng Tao saw that her expression was a little gloomy, so he comforted: "The current difficulties are temporary, as long as our main force is still there, we will fight back." At this moment, he remembered one more thing, "How is that little girl?" ”
Lilac smiled: "It's been handed over to her grandmother." Then, she blinked her watery eyes and stared at Feng Tao, "Camp Commander Feng, I am your honey in the white area, now, please sign me and write two sentences, okay?" As she spoke, she pulled a notebook out of her pocket.
Feng Tao took the notebook, took out a pen and wrote on the blank page: "Gift to comrade-in-arms Comrade Lilac: Advancing and retreating for a while, a common thing for soldiers. The green mountains are still there, and the fire is not extinguished. Be firm in your faith and keep your courage. The ice and snow will melt, and the spring breeze will finally come. Parting today, there will be a period later. Feng Tao's question. ”
After Lilac looked at the notebook, she smiled at Feng Tao and nodded. After putting away the notebook, she saw that Feng Tao's face was blackened by gunsmoke, so she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Feng Tao's face. After wiping the black ash off Feng Tao's face, Lilac still looked at Feng Tao, and suddenly, she stepped forward to hug Feng Tao, and kissed Feng Tao affectionately with her lips.
At this time, Ye Jin's little head appeared at the entrance of the anti-artillery cave, and when he saw all this, he was stunned.
Lilac also found that there was someone at the entrance of the cave, and immediately blushed and hurriedly turned her back.
Feng Tao hurriedly turned his face and asked, "Xiao Ye, is there something wrong?" ”
Ye Jin also hurriedly replied: "Battalion commander, it seems that the enemy is about to start attacking again." ”
Feng Tao hurriedly drilled out of the anti-artillery hole, walked to the edge of the trench, poked his head out, picked up the binoculars and took a look, and then whispered to a few cadres around him, "Calm down, wait until the enemy is close before fighting, and when it gets dark, we will move." ”
At this time, Ding Xiang also drilled out of the anti-artillery hole and said to Feng Tao, "Battalion Commander Feng, I should go." ”
Lilac had just taken two steps when she suddenly heard a sharp strange cry flying from a distance. Feng Tao hurriedly exclaimed, "It's not good, the enemy has fired!"
With that, he hurriedly ran to Lilac, hugged her and pressed her on the spot, and then pressed his body against Lilac. Suddenly, a cannonball exploded on the edge of the trench one meter away from them, "boom", and the huge wave of air kicked up the dirt splashed in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, it covered Feng Tao and Ding Xiang......
Ye Jin suddenly screamed, "Battalion commander! As soon as he stepped forward and took two steps, Guo Lin behind him grabbed him and scolded, "Come back, don't you want to die?" ”
He didn't allow Ye Jin to speak, hugged Ye Jin, and squatted on the spot against the inner wall of the trench. In the blink of an eye, another shell exploded on the edge of the trench, and the earth from the blast flew in all directions...... (To be continued.) )
