Chapter IV: Positional Defensive Warfare

That night, the positions of two battalions of the 256th Regiment were broken through by the devils, and after dawn, the regiment commander Xu Yun sent a special agent company directly under the regiment to assist and recaptured the two positions.

After a day and a night of fighting, the 256th Regiment had lost two full companies. The head of the regiment, Xu Yun's face was gloomy, and his brows were furrowed. If this kind of fight continues, his regiment won't last a few days. Xu Yun now regrets a little that he didn't listen to Gao Quan's words last night, if he could have launched a night attack on the devil in advance last night, he might not be so passive today. Hold on for another day today, and at night I don't know if there are any troops that will launch a night attack! If he continues to lose like this, even if he agrees to let Gao Quan take people to launch a night raid tonight, it is likely that he will not be able to draw out the reserves!

Maybe it was because the attack was too fierce last night, and in the morning, the devil's attack was not so strong. The two sides were engaged in regular offensive and defensive tactics on this 135 heights, and there was no such fierce tug-of-war as last night.

Gao Quan went to the position of another battalion, except for Xiao Cai, who was stabbed in the eye by the devil's bayonet in the thigh, none of his officers were injured, which was good news worthy of comfort. The arrival of the deputy staff seat originally made the first battalion commander very excited, but when he saw that Gao Quan had no one around him except for a guard, the battalion commander's interest was obviously not very high. Being able to maintain the normal etiquette that a soldier should have with Gao Quan is already the limit of what he can do, and this is still up to Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi. These two fierce generals who participated in the vicious battle last night were just around Gao Quan, like two plague gods escorting, the first battalion commander did not dare to offend these two masters now, and he still expected them to fight the main force in the future.

"First battalion commander, your defense force here needs to be strengthened." The commander of the first battalion was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that this deputy staff member wanted to increase his troops, so he knew that Gao Quan's next sentence was: "The fortifications on your battalion's position were blown up a lot by devils' shells yesterday, and today we must take advantage of the gap in the devil's attack to seize the time to organize manpower to repair them." ”

The commander of the first battalion barely squeezed out a smile, which was more ugly than not smiling, "Yes, remember the teachings of the deputy counselor." ”

Gao Quan looked at this guy obviously not wanting to see him, although he was not happy in his heart, he would not deliberately be angry with him, a main battalion commander. Speaking of which, the two of them have the same military ranks, they are both majors, but one is a battalion-level military commander, and the other is a regimental commander. Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi are all under this kid now, don't make him unhappy, in the future, they will wear small shoes for their brothers, and they will not be able to draw it.

"Don't teach me anything, my brother looks older than me, and he must have more combat experience than his brother. Brother is an idle job in the regiment, and what he said just now is purely a suggestion, a suggestion. Battalion Commander Chu just thinks that the brother doesn't know how to talk nonsense, and if he can use it, the brother will use it, and if it's useless, he should use it. ”

Gao Quan's words were clear, and of course the first battalion commander had no way to deal with others. Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, although he also deeply believed what Gao Quan said, but after a day and a night of high-intensity combat, the troops were extremely tired, and the current soldiers could fall asleep when they sat down, how could they have the strength to repair any fortifications? It's better to rest a little longer if you have that time, and when the devils attack again, you can have the energy to fight with Little Japan. However, the deputy chief of staff has already said this, if the commander of the first battalion still doesn't know what to do, then it's too bad to be on the road, right?

"Deputy Qian Ying, you go and inform the brothers, so that everyone can hurry up and repair the fortifications, and then rest after the completion of the repairs." Wang Dazhu's temper is too hard, it has only been two days, and the first battalion commander has touched the temper of these people, and this order is better for Qian Sixi, who is a little more easy-going, to say it, no matter whether anyone implements it or not, at least it will not be stiff with the soldiers in front.

Gao Quan has almost inspected the position of the first battalion, and now it is time to return to the regiment headquarters, otherwise, not only will the commander of the first battalion be uncomfortable, but I am afraid that Xu Tuanzuo will also feel uncomfortable. If you are misunderstood that you are engaged in tandem in the 256th Regiment, buying people's hearts, and trying to seize power, then it will not be interesting.

The casualties of the platoon commander of the first battalion were too serious, and even if the battalion commander was defensive against the people brought by Gao Quan, there was no way to do it now. Except for Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi, who could not be in their positions, the other two deputy company commanders and five deputy platoon commanders have all become the military commanders of the unit. The company commander and deputy company commander in a company have all been sacrificed, and he can't just put the ready-made deputy company commander without it, and specially promote a platoon commander or squad leader to be the company commander, right? Besides, even if he is a platoon commander, there are not many left on his side. The depression in the heart of the battalion commander can be imagined.

The 1st battalion now has one company and two other platoons completely in their own hands. Before returning to the regiment headquarters, seeing the joy on Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi's faces when they whispered about it, Gao Quan felt a trace of helplessness and a hint of joy in his heart. This habit of grabbing power and seizing power in the current army is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when they are the commanders, these people can still keep to themselves, and now once their binding force is reduced, this kind of idea of forming a gang and setting up a mountain immediately raises its head, and he wants to educate these two people, but he finds that he also has a hint of joy in his heart, and it seems that he is very happy to see this situation. Human nature is selfish! In addition to sighing that he is not a saint, Gao Quan really can't blame these two generals anymore.

After returning to the regimental headquarters, it didn't take long for the devils to launch an even more fierce attack! This time, the devil made up his mind, and he must take the position of the 256th Regiment! Two brigades of more than 2,000 devils, braving the threat of our mortars and light and heavy machine guns, and under the cover of heavy artillery and grenadiers, launched a decisive attack on our 135 heights!

The officers and men of our 256th Regiment fought a bloody and bitter battle with the devils, but the devils were higher than our army's combat effectiveness after all, and even the number of people was not comparable to the current 256th Regiment.

The front-line battle, which was deprived of artillery support, was even more brutal, and although our soldiers were brave and fearless and not afraid of sacrifice, they were unable to stop the devils after all, and at 11:30 a.m., they were rushed to the 135th position by the devils.

Gao Quan, along with the regimental headquarters guard platoon, the regiment commander and all the personnel of the regimental headquarters, all went to the front line, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the devil with the soldiers on the front line. With the continuous influx of devils into the position, there are only two ways in front of Commander Xu, the first is to die in battle on the position, and the second is to temporarily retreat, and then counterattack in the future to recapture the position.

When the regimental commander Xu Yun stabbed a bayonet in the arm of the devil and the regimental guard platoon was also killed or wounded, the only small communication soldier who stayed behind finally brought the division commander's order, and the 256 temporarily withdrew.
