Chapter 229: Detour back to the south side
Zhong Jian and Shen Wei's eyes couldn't help but converge, and a hesitant expression appeared on their faces.
Fan Shuming's suggestion made them excited, they had just wanted to command the troops to evacuate before.
But Sun Weiguo didn't agree at all, they could only reluctantly agree, and at this time, Fan Shuming's suggestion touched them.
"Regiment commander, political commissar, you are the leaders of the regiment, after all, the minority must obey the majority. If we don't take the opportunity to break out from the south of Chengguan Town, once the Japanese army reacts, they will definitely quickly deploy troops to plug this gap, and it will be impossible for us to break out. ”
Fan Shuming saw the reaction on Zhong Jian and Shen Wei's faces, and he continued to say, he was bent on encouraging the independent regiment to evacuate immediately.
When Zhao Lerong heard Fan Shuming's words, his brows furrowed tightly, he put down the homework in his hand, and looked towards Zhong Jian and Shen Wei.
"The head of the regiment, the commissar. If we evacuate at this time, the front-line troops will definitely suffer a major blow, and the plan of the deputy regiment commander will also be ruined because of this, please think twice and do not destroy the plan of the deputy regiment commander. ”
Looking at Zhong Jian and Shen Wei in front of him, Zhao Lerong showed a solemn expression on his face, and he said in a serious tone.
"Chief of Staff Zhao, don't be alarmist, it's the best choice to break through from the south now. I don't know what plan you and the deputy commander have, but I know that if the Independent Regiment continues to hold its position, the Independent Regiment will definitely be completely annihilated. ”
Fan Shuming glanced at Zhao Lerong coldly, and he said aggressively, he didn't take Zhao Lerong in his eyes.
"Chief of Staff, if we move from the south to Hebei Province, the Japanese army will definitely not notice it, this is our only chance."
Zhong Jian looked at Zhao Lerong, his face was full of heavy expressions, and his tone was even more stern.
"Withdraw the front-line troops, and our troops quickly break through to Hebei Province in the south." Shen Wei seemed to have made up her mind, and she gave the order directly, but at this time, the radio was "ticking".
The signal corps quickly received the telegrams, and after this period of training, most of the signal corps were able to receive and receive telegrams.
"The regiment commander, the political commissar, and the Jinchaji Military Region Headquarters sent an urgent message." The communications soldier quickly translated the message, and he came to Zhong Jian and Shen Wei to report that the communications soldier who knew the content of the message had an anxious expression on his face.
Zhong Jian and Shen Wei took the message and looked at it, and after they read the content of the message, the two of them couldn't help but gasp.
The contents of the telegram from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region also informed the situation in Hebei Province, and the Japanese North China Front Army had deployed two mixed brigades and regiments in the vicinity of Jingcheng County, and this incident had already attracted the attention of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and they immediately reported the situation to the Independent Regiment.
"If we break through to Hebei Province, I am afraid that we will be attacked by the joint attack of these two mixed brigades, and then the independent regiment will be completely annihilated. Comrade Weiguo's decision was foresightful, but fortunately we did not make it hastily. ”
Shen Wei handed the telegram to Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.
Zhong Jian showed a guilty expression on his face, his face was burning, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Zhong Jian and Shen Wei did not expect such a thing, but Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong had already expected it.
So even though Zhong Jian and Shen Wei kept asking to break out from the south, Sun Weiguo never agreed.
Fan Shuming also leaned over and glanced at the message, and after seeing the content of the message, Fan Shuming was very annoyed. He felt that he had missed an opportunity, and if the Independent Regiment could be evacuated at this time, maybe Sun Weiguo would die here.
Now Fan Shuming was completely lost in impulse, especially after the failure of this trick, he was even more unconvinced.
He didn't regret it in the slightest, but he began to calculate in his heart how to continue to make Sun Weiguo ruined.
The Pingding County Independent Regiment received a telegram from the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Command, and they began to cancel their plans to break through to the south.
Zhong Jian and Shen Wei realized that there was something wrong with their thoughts, and the two of them began to refrain from interfering with Sun Weiguo's command.
The command of the regiment headquarters fell on Zhao Lerong's shoulders, and Zhong Jian and Shen Wei obediently assisted in the command according to Sun Weiguo's instructions.
The Japanese troops attacking Tianjing and Nanzhuang were resting, and they were preparing to launch a new offensive against the two villages.
Here in the position of the restaurant Brain Zhai Mountain, there are constantly fierce gunshots.
THE JAPANESE ARMY'S TWELVE 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS CONTINUED TO SHELL THE NAOZHAI MOUNTAIN POSITION, AND THE ARTILLERY UNITS HIDDEN IN THE ANTI-SLOPE POSITION NATURALLY DID NOT BEAR IT, AND THE TWO SIDES LAUNCHED AN ARTILLERY BATTLE, AND AFTER THE JAPANESE ARMY DESTROYED FIVE MOUNTAIN GUNS, THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY UNITS IMMEDIATELY HIDDEN, AND THEY STOPPED SHOOTING.
However, the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese infantry brigade were frantically firing fiercely at the position of Naozhai Mountain.
The four infantry squadrons continued to attack the top of the mountain, because of the presence of twelve tanks, the two-meter-high barrier set up by the second company did not cause difficulties to the Japanese army, and the devil soldiers of the four squadrons repeatedly attacked the position on the top of the mountain.
After all, the second company was a condescending shot, and they repelled more than a dozen Japanese charges, but they still paid a certain amount of casualties.
According to Yamashita Fufumi's order, the roundabout troops should quickly capture Naozhai Mountain, and then the artillery wing set up positions on Naozhai Mountain to assist the offensive of various units.
But now the artillery wing's shooting was obviously suppressed by the Naozhai Mountain artillery, and after the loss of five mountain guns, the artillery wing completely gave up the shelling of Naozhai Mountain, and they began to support the front-line troops.
After all, they are not on high ground now, and there is a certain error in their support operations.
And once the artillery of Naozhai Mountain locked the position of the artillery, the artillery unit of the independent regiment of Naozhai Mountain would immediately fire shells at them.
"Kobayashi Daisa, our infantry brigade has lost more than 300 people, we can't continue to attack, if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid our troops will be exhausted, I suggest that the troops immediately detour back to the south side, and we will directly attack the south side of Naozhai Mountain."
Captain Shaozo of the infantry brigade had already ordered the troops to stop the attack, and he came to Nobuo Kobayashi's place, and said with a worried face.
The casualties of more than 300 people already accounted for a third of the casualties of the infantry brigade, and such losses they could not afford.
After thinking about it carefully, the infantry captain thought that it would be better to make a detour to the south side of Naozhai Mountain to attack.
The south side of Naozhai Mountain is an anticline position, and if they attack the south side of Naozhai Mountain, they will naturally be able to directly hit the artillery position of the independent regiment.
