Chapter 201: The Great General Attack

readx; On February 17, 1938, it would be the day of victory and defeat!

The emergence of Gao Fei and the 151st Regiment under his command brought about a major change in the stalemate battlefield. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 2,100 brothers, under Gao Fei's hands, gathered a strong combat effectiveness, and the combat idea of "not seeking complete annihilation, but seeking quick victory" was vividly embodied in the 151st Regiment.

Although this was based on the fact that the army was exhausted from long-term combat and was gradually short of ammunition, these three battles fully embodied the feasible surname of Gao Fei's combat thinking.

Not to entangle with the enemy too much, to find the enemy's weak points, to concentrate superior forces and firepower, and to break through in one fell swoop, this is the most feasible combat method at the present stage!

And with three battles in one night, three battles and three victories, the 23rd Group Army was launched by Gao Fei!

On the 17th, the 151st Regiment attacked again, and the front of the troops was directed at the 41st Infantry Wing of the Kunisaki Noboru Brigade.

At this time, a large number of regrouped squadrons have also launched a strong attack from both flanks of the Kunisaki Brigade!

On the front and flanks of the Kunisaki Noboru Brigade, the 23rd Group Army launched a final general attack on the Kunisaki Noboru Brigade with the absolute superiority of 6 divisions and 3 reading brigades, accompanied by an artillery brigade!

At 6 o'clock in the morning of the 17th, all the concentrated artillery fire poured out shells on the Japanese army.

The commander-in-chief of the 23rd Army, Tang Shi, complied with only one order to the artillery:

"Smash the last cannonball out of Lao Tzu!"

On the other hand, after continuous battles, there was a serious shortage of artillery shells, and it was difficult to continue, and there was even a rare scene where the artillery fire of the Japanese army was completely suppressed by the Sichuan army!

The shelling continued, and at 7 o'clock, the general assault began!

The 60,000 Sichuan army athletes, with an unstoppable momentum, launched a wave of higher and higher attacks on the Kunisaki Deng Brigade like a sea of mountains.

At 7:10 a.m., a group of special guests appeared at the headquarters of the 23rd Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which was a military observation group composed of the United States, Britain, France, and other countries in Xuzhou.

This is also a strange thing.

At the beginning of the all-out war of resistance against Japanese aggression, European and American countries unanimously held a negative attitude towards whether China could win the war, but the Battle of Lihu completely changed their view.

After that, these European and American countries began to pay more attention to the performance of the [***] team, but this was only limited to the [***] elite troops, and the appearance of the military observation team in the Sichuan army was the first time!

God has given the Sichuan army a chance to present his most magnificent side in front of foreigners!

The day of the arrival of the military observer group was the day when the Sichuan army launched a major general offensive. If it was full of tragedy before, then this day is magnificent!

Under the attack of the athletes of our Sichuan Army, one by one, the positions of the Japanese army were quickly conquered, and the strongholds of the Japanese army everywhere were uprooted in the shortest possible time under the courageous attack of all the officers and men of the 23 rd Group Army.

By 10 a.m., in three hours, the 23rd Army had conquered 19 positions, killed and wounded nearly 3,000 soldiers, and captured 11 people.

Such a performance was greatly admired by the foreigners of the Military Observer Mission, and the head of the Observer Mission, the American Turner. Colonel Eisnavin said to Tang Shizun:

"Before, I had heard of the outstanding performance of the Sichuan army in Shanghai, but I never believed that a unit wearing straw sandals and using broadswords as the main weapon could achieve such brilliant results, but obviously my idea was wrong, I must ask for your forgiveness The Sichuan army has strong defense and attack power, today, I task your troops to make a decisive breakthrough, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, at the latest, the battle will be over"

When the translator finished speaking, Tang Shizun smiled.

The Americans are not there, behind such a breakthrough, what a great sacrifice the 23rd Army has made, and how many children of Chuanzhong have been buried on this land forever

Turner then asked:

"I heard that there is a general named Gao under your command, he has won many incredible battles, and even your supreme leader, Mr. Jiang Zhongzheng, has specially commended him, is he now commanding the battle on the front line?"

"Yes, he is fighting against the Japanese on the front line, and his name is Gao Fei!" Tang Shizun nodded: "A few hours before your arrival, the troops under his command defeated three infantry brigades in a row in less than one night."

There was an exclamation from the side.

This is an absolutely shocking result. Since the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, although the Chinese squadron has also won many victories, what happened last night, as Commander-in-Chief Tang said, is really too surprising

The reporters who arrived with the observation team threw their questions to Commander-in-Chief Tang. Tang Shizun also answered the reporters' questions one by one with great patience

February 17, 10:30 a.m.

"Machine gun, machine gun, another machine gun over there. Listen, in 20 minutes, be sure to break through here! ”

Goofy's voice rang in the ears of the brethren.

The general attack boosted the confidence of all the officers and men of the 151st Regiment, and the successive victories also raised the morale of all the brothers to the peak.

Where there is a high fly, the word "failure" will not exist, and this seems to have become the unanimous idea of the brothers of the 151st regiment.

The exhaustion of successive assaults was temporarily forgotten by the brethren, and in the eyes of all of them, there was only assault, assault, assault again!

The destruction of the Kunisaki Noboru Brigade is only at hand, and with a little effort, victory will come soon!

"Tuanza, our 143rd Division completed a breakthrough on the left flank, and our 139th Division and the 19th Brigade of the Independent Brigade made a major breakthrough on the right flank. The 147th and 148th divisions launched a counteroffensive at the same time on the front, and the army had begun to retreat! ”

"Good! Order the whole regiment to concentrate all firepower, suppress the Japanese army, and cooperate with friendly forces in battle! Goofy said loudly.

"Tuanzao, the headquarters called, saying that a group of foreigners came to the headquarters, what are you observing the group, and they are also saying that they want to interview you, and ask if you have time to go back!"

"I don't have time, tell Commander-in-Chief Tang that my whole regiment is attacking at the last moment!" Goofy replied without even thinking about it.

The brothers under his command looked at each other, this matter is a big trouble, and the foreigners actually know the name of the group?

At 11:30 a.m., the 151st Regiment stubbornly advanced its position to the Budaikou line, and at this time, the cooking squad and the neighboring civilians who spontaneously rushed to help the battle sent the rice up under enemy fire.

The battle now is much easier than before, and the army is huddled in the remaining positions, desperately resisting, and the attacks that have been launched some time ago have been difficult to see since the beginning of the general offensive.

Since the attack last night, the brothers have not had anything to eat in their stomachs, and they were fine when they were fighting, but now the sound of gunfire has subsided, and when they smell the fragrant food, they have already "growled" in protest. Regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one, grab the rice balls and steamed buns and stuff them into your mouth.

"Captain Gao, eat."

Jing Lianyu's voice sounded behind him, Gao Fei put down the binoculars in his hand, turned around, and saw that his food was very different from others, and there were more than a dozen small and delicate steamed buns in a lunch box.

"This is made by Widow Yuan, Widow Yuan is from Wuxi, and later came here with her husband, and will make a good Wuxi specialty Xiaolong steamed bun"

Before Jing Lianyu finished speaking, Gao Fei, who had been hungry for a long time, pressed his chest against his back, and couldn't wait to grab a small steamed bun and stuff it into his mouth.

Who would have thought that as soon as one bite went down, a stream of soup squirted out of the small steamed buns, like a bullet, and it happened to shoot on Jing Lianyu's body impartially.

Where did Gao Fei think that the soup would squirt out of the steamed buns, he was embarrassed, and apologized repeatedly, Jing Lianyu said with a smile: "I just wanted to remind you, this kind of small steamed buns"

Before the words fell, Gao Fei turned his mouth to the other side, and took another bite, which was also in line with Fu Xiaogan's bad luck, Fu Xiaogan, who was holding a pot of soup, happened to walk in this direction by chance, and as a result, with a "whoosh", another stream of soup "flew" out of the other end of the small steamed bun, and all flew to Fu Xiaogan.

Gao Fei is completely stupid now, what steamed buns? Where did so much soup and water come from in a good steamed bun? Over there, Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan were already smiling and leaning back. Overjoyed. Jing Lianyu's stomach hurt when she laughed at Gao Fei's embarrassed appearance:

"I was just about to tell you that this steamed bun has to take a small bite and suck the soup inside before you can eat it."

"What kind of steamed buns, it's so complicated to eat," Gao Feida was embarrassed, and said with a mocking self-deprecation.

"Captain Gao, it's true that you are a sharpshooter, but I didn't expect this steamed bun to be a sharpshooter, look at this accurate, it's not bad at all, our Nurse Jing and Xiao Ganna are not partial, one person and one body." Ma Debi walked over with a smile and handed a white-faced steamed bun in his hand to Gao Fei:

"To say that this steamed bun was first invented in Sichuan. Legend Zhuge Wuhou pacified the rebellion of Meng Huo, the river rolled, can not cross the river, the local people said to take the head of the sacrifice, the result Zhuge Wuhou could not bear it, so he made this kind of steamed bun, at that time called 'barbarian head', put into the water, precipitation flat. Who would have thought that people in Jiangnan could have so many fancy intestines, and actually poured soup into the steamed buns, come, I'll taste one"

Ma Debi can be regarded as having learned from Goofy's experience, and in order to avoid making a fool of himself, he simply threw a whole small steamed bun into his mouth, which turned out to be a bad thing.

This small steamed bun is small and exquisite, and I don't feel anything when I grab it, but I put it all in my mouth, and when I bite into it, the soup inside is piping hot, and I scream at Ma Debi.

It was easy to drink a few large sips of cold water to make it more comfortable, and Ma Debi's speech was a little slurred: "Fuck, didn't you just eat one of her widow Yuan's dogs?" Is it necessary to take revenge like this? Turtle son, how did you get this soup in? ”

Jing Lianyu suddenly pointed forward, pursed her lips and smiled: "Look"

Looking at the place where Jing Lianyu pointed, Gao Fei and Ma Debi were dumbfounded.

I saw Lao Hei lying on the ground over there, tasting the small steamed buns that Gao Fei and Ma Debi couldn't eat, eating more than the chief Ke Siwen, where did the widow Yuan on the side still have the fierce appearance when she was looking for the dog that day, with an indescribable gentleness, Lao Hei ate a small steamed bun, and the widow Yuan fed him a mouthful of soup

"What's this, what's this? Stealing a dog and stealing a cousin? Ma Debi opened his mouth wide, and it took a while for such a sentence to come out.

Gao Fei also scratched his head, puzzled: "I heard that Lao Hei had a good relationship with a widow in Sichuan, how did he get here and get another widow?" Seeing it that day, Widow Yuan still wanted to eat Lao Hei."

Xu is voice was loud, and Lao Hei over there heard it, and was triumphant: "Xiucai, Chief Ma, what else do you want to see, you can't learn this thing."

The lock post snorted disdainfully: "It's not that night that I sneaked into someone's door."

Widow Yuan's face was flushed, her head was lowered, and she didn't say a word

As soon as lunch passed, the 151st Regiment quickly resumed its attack.

Gao Fei pulled all his forces up, and the resistance of the Yue army began to gradually weaken, the sound of guns and artillery was no longer fierce, and the continuous positions were lost, forcing the frontal Yu army to shrink its forces and hold on to a few strongholds.

On the front and on both flanks, our attacking forces were also advancing rapidly.

At 1 o'clock, the 151st Regiment successfully conquered Budaikou and completed the convergence with the 19th Brigade of the flank attack.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the attacking troops on all lines continued their efforts, launching continuous attacks from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock, and finally completely compressed the remnants of the Kunisaki Noboru Brigade to the line of Fujijin.

At this time, there were less than 5,000 troops left in the Kunisaki Noboru Brigade in Fuji Town and its vicinity, and there was a shortage of ammunition, a serious shortage of food, and especially seriously, the two armies that were intertwined completely made his plane lose its bombing target!

At 16:30, the headquarters of the 23rd Group Army of the People's Revolutionary Army issued the order for the final decisive battle:

"I attacked all the departments, and at 17 o'clock, launched a fierce attack on the whole front, and wherever there is an army, it is a decisive battlefield for our army! Retreat the latter, kill! If you can't complete the task, kill!! Cowering in battle, causing the Japanese to escape, kill !! ”

The three words "kill" have already told all the troops participating in the attack that the general headquarters of the group army has made up its mind to settle the battle at the latest!

This is a great opportunity, this is the first and most glorious battle since the Sichuan army went out of Sichuan to resist the war!

The original 20,000-strong Yue army had less than 5,000 people left by this time, which was unimaginable since the Chinese army launched a full-scale war of aggression against China.

Victory is unstoppable!
