Section 3 Battle XIV
When he found the first of the Japanese army, after the phone call entered the headquarters, Zhuang Jihua's heart fell to the bottom of his heart, but the report that came immediately surprised him. /.0M\\
The 56th and 22nd Divisions attacked separately. The 56th Division attacked Lashio, and the 22nd Division attacked positions outside the city. The entire Lashio east and north and south were engaged in fierce battles on three sides, and the outer positions were continuously lost, and the Japanese army attacked desperately.
By 10 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yisu counted the progress of the Japanese army in all directions so far, and the battle on La Popa Mountain was the most intense, and the scale of the Japanese attack was from the squadron to the brigade, and the attack continued continuously, and three attacks were launched in just two hours.
Lu Junquan, who was stationed in La Popa Mountain, was under great pressure, and in three hours, he lost four or five in a row. Hill. Lu Junquan was in a hurry and ordered all the officers who had lost their positions to be shot in front of the battle. "All the officers and men of the Tanuki Division must hold their positions. Those who lose their positions are shot on the spot! Mom sells" to the brethren! The little devils have all hit the doorstep, and the fathers and brothers in Yunnan are watching us." Lu Junquan was murderous.
Lu Junquan's words immediately spread throughout the army. The 58th Army was the Yunnan Army, and Yunnan was their hometown, which fought against Japan in the Central Plains all the year round, and witnessed many atrocities committed by the Japanese army.
The flames of war became more and more intense, and the Japanese army went forward one after another. All of them charged with white knives, and the soldiers of the Dian army on the position resisted desperately, and both sides showed rare bravery, and no one refused to give in, and no one dared to give in.
"The brave wins!" Zhuang Jihua's expression was grim: "Tell the troops, the little devils are put to death, and their attack will not last long." Commander Lu. Tell the troops, don't just be passively beaten, dare to fight back, and beat down the arrogance of the devils."
After receiving the report, Zhuang Jihua rushed to the headquarters of the 58th Army in the city, merged his small headquarters with the headquarters of the 58th Army, and directly commanded the battle.
At this command, the battle became more intense. Lu Junquan and Gao Yinfeng organized death squads to fight against the Japanese army but did not show weakness, and rushed up against the death squads, and the two sides were on the slopes of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, strangled together, and fought fiercely one after another, and the net received a call to recover a mountain, and within a few minutes, another call was received, and the recaptured mountain was lost again.
"The commander of the Blink Division was killed, and the deputy brigade commander of the Hu Brigade was seriously wounded. Concave Division. Fu Chijian, the commander of the Bi Regiment, was seriously wounded, and Liu Zhengfu, chief of staff of the 58th Army, reported the results of the counterattack to Zhuang Jihua.
Lu Han's heart tightened, and he said to Zhuang Jihua tentatively: "Commander, do you want the 103rd Army to attack and copy the back road of the little devil." ”
Zhuang Jihua shook his head, the 58th Army had 50,000 troops, and the total strength of the 56th and 22nd Divisions was also more than 40,000, so the pressure was very great. However, Zhuang Jihua believes that the 58 th Army has endured vicious battles one after another, and officers at all levels have rich combat experience. The soldiers have all undergone strict training, and this waste occupies a favorable position, so that they will not be unable to withstand even a day.
"The time is not right, the morale of the devils is still very high, and their morale must be grinded down, and when the time comes, the 103rd Army and the Kou Army will attack together and eat this devil." Zhuang Jihua thought about it and said slowly, and then shook his head resolutely: "Commander Lu, you should believe in your troops, the 58th Army will not be so soft, it won't even be able to withstand it for a day."
Lu Han's anger flashed, and he hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, commander, even if there is only one person left in the 58th Army, it can hold Lashio, and then turn around and Zhang Chong said: "Brother Yunpeng, you stay in the command headquarters and assist the commander in commanding, and I will go to the Rapopa Mountain to supervise the battle." ”
"Commander, you can't go, now the front is in chaos. Little devils are running around and the road is dangerous. Zhang Chong hurriedly persuaded.
The Japanese raided Lashio, and the tactics adopted were still jungle tactics. Whenever there is a gap, insert it. Attacking from behind and from the flank, this is how Fan Runsheng, deputy commander of the Xiang Brigade, was wounded.
"I'll take one of them with me, even if I bump into a devil. It's just a small group of devils, it's not a big deal. Luján waved his hand. Walked out of the headquarters without looking back.
Zhuang Jihua was silent beside him, just staring at the map, he felt that the battle situation was a little chaotic, and he couldn't see where the focus of the Japanese army's attack was, whether Lashio City or La Popa Mountain, or the decaying division in the southwest. It was not visible at all, so the heavy artillery regiments in the city would strike outside the city at one time, and support the Rapopa Hill at the other.
"It's not okay to go on like this, Commander Lu" Zhuang Jihua shook his head, turned around and didn't see Lu Han, which surprised him a little, Zhang Chong hurriedly explained Lu Han's whereabouts, Zhuang Jihua shook his head slightly and said to Zhang Chong: "Order the military to belong to the heavy artillery, immediately support La Popa Mountain, and ignore other directions for the time being." The devil wants chaos, and we must be stable. ”
Then he said: "A brigade from Lu Daoyuan will rush over from the flank of Mount La Popa, attack the flank of the Japanese army, and stop La Popa." of the Japanese army suppressed. ”
"Then there are only two brigades left in the city." Zhang Chong replied hesitantly. The Japanese army was also attacking Lashio, but there were not many Japanese troops crossing the defensive line after all.
Zhuang Jihua said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, you listen to the sound of this artillery, all of them are 92 infantry guns, and all of them are our own, which shows that the Japanese army did not bring heavy weapons at all in order to cross the jungle." their purpose. They knew that it would be impossible to take Lashio quickly with their troops, but once the war was postponed, my troops in Mandalay would use the railway to quickly reinforce Lashio, and their whole plan would be frustrated
The sound of artillery outside was deafening, Zhang Chong suddenly realized, no wonder he fought for so long, but there were not a few shells in the city, Zhuang Jihua continued to analyze: "So only rely on infantry to attack the city." It is impossible to take Lashio
Luján took a detour to the west gate with a company of men, his jeep in front and five trucks behind, and drove at a gallop to La Popa Hill, just a short distance out of the city. Suddenly, there was a loud gunshot, and the chief guard sitting in the front row was immediately shot, and the driver braked urgently. Luján's head hit the back of his chair hard, and the adjutant jumped out of the jeep and pulled Luján out of the car. The two hid behind the car.
The machine guns on the truck opened heavy fire, and the soldiers of the guard company jumped out of the car, and before they could stand firmly, the bolt of the gun rang out, and those who did not have time to jump out of the car began to shoot in the car
The equipment of the guard company was not changed much, only a small number of hurried semi-automatic rifles, but the officers and soldiers had rich combat experience, and the commander of the guard company was a Yi man. was originally the child of the Luhan family and the guardian of Luhan.
He jumped out of the car and rushed to the back of the jeep, at this time Lu Han had already come to his senses and was shooting at the onrushing Japanese soldiers, and the guard company commander rushed over and scolded from the adjutant: "What are you doing *** nesting, protecting the commander of the army to retreat."
"Withdraw what to withdraw a small group of Japanese troops, rush up and kill them." Luján could see at a glance that the firepower on the opposite side was not strong, only one machine gun and one grenadier canister, which was equivalent to half a squad. After seeing it clearly, Lu Bizhong was not lucky, but angry. Such a few people dare to attack the city, and the little devils take my 58th Army for something.
Lu Han has wronged the devil, this devil is a detour to La Popa Mountain, and was discovered by the squadron on the detour road, and there was a fierce battle between the two, and only this little person rushed over, and the officers who led the team were all killed. After discovering Lu Han's convoy, they immediately realized that this might be an important general of the Zhongxian army, and Cao Chang immediately launched an attack.
At this time, the guard company had quickly set up mortars and bazookas, and nine machine guns fired together, Li Xuan suppressed the Japanese fire, and the four mortars opened fire immediately.
To Lu Han's surprise, this Japanese army was very stubborn, and found that the momentum was not right, and retreated slightly, so they dispersed, taking advantage of the terrain, forming a circular defensive line and holding the guard company. Lu Han was a little anxious, he looked at the roaring cannon on Mount La Popa, and called the commander of the guard company: "I'll give you ten minutes to kill this devil, otherwise you will go back to be a soldier." ”
"Yes"
The company commander picked up the shell gun and turned around and ran, but Luhan stopped him again: "Concentrate your firepower and attack a little." Organize three groups and one team to fight into that defensive circle. That's it. ”
"Understood." The company commander ran back, stopped the attack, called the three platoon commanders, and assigned the task. Reorganizing the fire, mortars, bazookas and machine guns were aimed at one point and striking at one point, quickly opening the gap, he led the charge into the defensive circle, and the remaining Japanese troops rushed out from everywhere with bayonets and strangled with the guard company.
"Commander, in nine and a half minutes, the company commander was covered in blood and reported to Lu Han in a hurry.
Lu Han looked at him at him, didn't say anything, turned back to the jeep, and the company commander turned back to beckon the soldiers to get into the car. The convoy continued towards Mount La Popa.
When Lu Han arrived at Mount La Popa, Lu Junquan was cursing people in the headquarters, and the battle situation on Mount La Popa was always in a stalemate, and the Japanese army had conquered three mountains in a row and had already reached the bottom of the main peak, and Lu Junquan transferred the division guard battalion and the special service company to counterattack.
"Boom!" After the piercing scream, there was a violent explosion, Lu Danquan was stunned, they were all veterans, and when they heard the explosion, they knew that it was a shell fired by a wounded howitzer of military dependents.
The army commander and chief of staff are now standing at the door of Lu Han, Lu Danquan turned around and saluted Lu Han very casually, he is Lu Han's uncle, and it is difficult to distinguish the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Lu Han also replied casually, strode to the map and asked, "What is the situation?" ”
"The little devil is like crazy". Lu Junquan scolded angrily: "I've been attacking, and I've hit the bottom of the main peak, and it's been less than a day." Our casualties were close to 2,000
The 56th Division was formed from the left-behind troops of the famous Dragon Division, and its combat effectiveness was naturally very strong, Lu Han was noncommittal, turned around and grabbed the phone: "I am a corpse man, take over the military department."
"Commander Zhuang, the situation in La Popa Mountain is not good. The Japanese army has already begun to attack the main peak. Luján said simply, then was interrupted: "I understand, I understand." ”
After putting down the phone, he said to Lu Danquan: "Commander Zhuang has sent a brigade to support us, and the heavy artillery regiment under the army is specially responsible for supporting La Popa Mountain. Tell the brethren to resolutely block it, and the main peak must not be lost. ”
