85th Episode: Stick to the Golden Beach (2)

When the enemy arrived in the center of the river, Liu Zhiyuan shouted: "Fight-"

A battalion of light and heavy machine guns and assault rifles opened fire at the same time, causing the enemy to be dizzy, leaving dozens of dead bodies behind and defeated.

After repelling the enemy's first attack, the clouds in the sky dissipated. Liu Zhiyuan saw through the telescope that a large area of the enemy, about the strength of a regiment, was moving forward from a distance, and behind the farther village, a large number of enemies were gathering.

Obviously, this is a larger-scale offensive that the enemy is organizing, and the battle just now is just a prelude to an even more intense battle.

Although the terrain was very favorable to the regiment directly under it, it was indeed quite an arduous task to use one battalion to resist the attack of more than 3,000 people of Ding Shuben.

The commander of the first battalion said on the phone: "Commander Liu, the pressure on the first battalion is too great, should you call other battalions to support." ”

Liu Zhiyuan said decisively: "Now the battle has just begun, the mouse pulls the wooden shovel, and the big head is still behind." Fight as hard as you can, and if you can't, I'll send troops to support you. ”

The first battalion had no hope of asking for help, so they had to give up and concentrate on fighting this battle with all their might.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the enemy launched a second attack on the positions of our 1st battalion with heavy artillery fire. Suddenly, shamprapnel flew sideways on our position, gunpowder smoke billowed out, and the entire position was shrouded in an aura of death.

After the shelling, groups of the enemy boarded the ships in groups and forcibly crossed the river to attack us. When the enemy in front was approaching the river bank, a battalion commander gave an order, and heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and assault rifles fired at the enemy.

The enemy was killed, wounded, and a large number fell. When the enemy in the rear saw that something was wrong, they turned the bow of the ship and fled backwards.

Our fighters continued to shoot fiercely, and the corpses of the enemy were floating everywhere on the river. The second attack of the enemy was again beaten back by us.

Around 12 noon, the third enemy attack began. As soon as this attack began, the enemy concentrated dozens of mortars and bombarded our positions indiscriminately, which was even more aggressive than the previous one.

The enemy concentrated dozens of ships, armed with light and heavy machine guns, and rushed towards our position with a wild shout at the top of their voices. When the enemy approached, they were hit back by a battalion of light and heavy machine guns, assault rifles, and grenades.

After fighting these three battles, Liu Zhiyuan was happy and said to Han Xing: "Commander Han, Ding Shuben is nothing more than that, he doesn't have three heads and six arms, there is nothing remarkable, he is far worse than a little devil." ”

Han Xing snorted and said, "Commander Liu, are you proud, do you think that you are good at fighting these battles, don't you?" Truth be told, it's still far from it! ”

Liu Zhiyuan originally thought that Han Xing would praise him a few words, but he didn't expect that Han Xing poured cold water on him vigorously.

Han Xing said: "First, you call this a rout battle, not a war of annihilation. Forget it, how many enemies have been destroyed in these three battles! There are only a hundred people at most, and Ding Shuben's vitality is not injured. Second, Ding Shuben owns the ferry, that is, Ding Shuben, if you change someone else, do you have to pass through the ferry port of Jinsha Town. If they change places, the position of Jinsha Town will not work, and they can bypass it from other places and attack Jinsha Town's position from behind. Third, Ding Shu originally had mortars, which should not be underestimated, and if you can't destroy these dozens of mortars, it will cause heavy damage to our troops sooner or later, which is a big scourge. ”

"According to you," Liu Zhiyuan said, scratching his scalp, "I can't play well." How should this battle be fought? ”

Han Xing tilted his head and snorted and said, "I said a long time ago that I will not interfere with your command." How you fight is your business! ”

Liu Zhiyuan thought about it for a while, but he really didn't come up with a better way.

Han Xing inspired him to say: "There are still two infantry battalions and a mortar battalion in the regiment directly under the regiment that are not used, what are you keeping these troops for, isn't it just to hide in the snow, isn't it to use it at the most critical time?" There is a tactic called half-crossing attack, that is, when the enemy is halfway through the river, he suddenly uses our main force and takes them by surprise.

The enemy had thirty or forty ferries, capable of crossing up to 1,000 men at a time. When the 1,000 enemy men crossed the river, they surrounded it on three sides and released it on one side, and if they were to go back, we would destroy it with mortars. If they are placed on the shore, we will leave them alone for the time being, and this will also leave a thought for the enemy who crosses the river. ”

After Liu Zhiyuan listened to Han Xing's words, he suddenly became happy and said happily: "I understand, you mean to annihilate the thousand or so people who crossed the river, and we can completely eat them." This battle hurt him, so that Ding Shuben would never dare to attack our base again. ”

Han Xingbai glared at him and said, "That's what you said, I have never interfered with your command!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan redeployed his troops and said to the commander of the first battalion: "If the enemy attacks again, you will lead the first battalion to retreat, let the enemy cross the river, and then retreat again, let them go for a mile, and then block them to fight." ”

The first battalion commander didn't understand a little, and shouted: "No, Commander Liu, don't letting go of the enemy is equivalent to escaping!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan Xiong said: "If you are told to fight like this, you will fight like this, and only if you retreat, the second and third battalions can come up and surround the enemy." ”

The commander of the first battalion understood at this moment, and said happily: "Okay, come on, resolutely obey the order." ”

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Shuben organized a fourth attack.

This time, they didn't have any new tricks, first the mortars opened the way, and the mortar shells roared into the positions of the first battalion, only to blow up the positions of the first battalion with black smoke and miasma, shrapnel flying sideways, and piles of loess were thrown into the sky.

Then more than a thousand of the enemy quickly boarded the ship, and the ships were equipped with light and heavy machine guns, and they also rained down on the positions of the first battalion. As the troops stormed, they shouted "rush," "kill," and "rush over and you'll have food to eat."

Under the cover of mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and the river was seventy or eighty meters wide, they quickly rushed to the shore. This time, they felt that it was a big surprise, and they did not even eat the bullets of the Zhuxian column.

These thousand or so people, who were really cheap, shouted loudly, and quickly got off the boat. In the direction of the retreat of the first battalion, they pursued it.

After disembarking Ding Shuben's officers and men on the ferry, the ferries turned around and headed towards the way they came, to pick up the follow-up troops.

The river was murmuring, rippling in the microwave, and the jet-black water of the Wei River flowed slowly. The soldiers on the ferry were still quite relaxed. Finally, under the coercion of Ding Shuben, they crossed the Wei River, and they were one step away from the sweet wheat.

When the ferries reached the center of the river, suddenly the sky was black, and something like a small eagle flew in, almost obscuring the sky. The little owls landed on the ferryboats, and then an earth-shattering explosion rang out.

These wooden boats were put together by some wooden planks, and they were not blown up at all, only the wood chips flew around, and the ferries were wiped out one after another, and they were destroyed in an instant.

The wreckage of the ferryboat was floating everywhere on the river, a pile here, a piece there, and some of the ferries were on fire, and the fire of this ferry boat burned another boat, and a large area was burned.

A few ferries were lucky enough to row back to the other side of the river, but the officers and men on a few boats played a very little role in the whole battle.

More than 1,000 officers and soldiers of Ding Shuben, who had come ashore here, were chasing after him happily, and suddenly saw that the ferry had been bombed, and then he knew that he had been cut off from the back road and could never go back.

After the first battalion retreated more than a mile, it refused to retreat any longer, turned around and fought back. The second and third battalions also killed from the left and right, and surrounded the enemy in the middle and beat them severely.

There is only one way for this group of enemies to retreat, and that is to defend the river, take a boat when they come, and when they go back, they can only jump into the river and splash into the water. However, there are still many landlubbers who don't know water, so it's troublesome.

After many of Ding Shuben's officers and men jumped into the water, they swam to the opposite shore with all their might.

A lot of people who don't know how to water, only to rush the ducks to the shelves and resist hard.

Liu Zhiyuan's officers and soldiers seized the opportunity to launch a political offensive, "surrendering their guns and not killing them, and giving preferential treatment to prisoners." "The Chinese don't fight the Chinese." "Let's fight Japan with us, what kind of strength are your brothers fighting!"

As a result, six or seven hundred people saw that there was no hope for such a battle, so they had no choice but to surrender their guns.

In the battle of Golden Beach, Liu Zhiyuan's regiment won a complete victory, capturing a large number of prisoners and a large number of weapons.

Liu Zhiyuan was cheap and obedient, and said to Han Xing: "Commander Han, under your wise command, our direct regiment has won another big victory. ”

Han Xing said: "Don't don't, don't come to this set, I didn't command you, it was all your Liu Zhiyuan's good command and won this battle." ”

Liu Zhiyuan didn't think so, he frowned and said, "How do I feel, it's all you manipulating me behind my back!" ”

In the battle of Golden Beach, Ding Shuben lost his temper, lost more than 1,000 people, and the ferry was gone. Even if you want to cross the Wei River, you don't have the tools to cross the river.

It is estimated that Ding Shuben will no longer be able to lift any big Lang to come, Liu Zhiyuan left the original company, continued to guard Jinsha Town, and then led his direct regiment to Dongguzhuang again.

Donggu Village was the only way for the Japanese army to grab grain and enter Guanxian County, and Liu Zhiyuan decided to fight an ambush by the Japanese army here.

After the troops entered Dongguzhuang, they immediately blocked the news, and people could only enter but not leave. Outside the village, immediately repaired fortifications, dug trenches, and urgently prepared for war.

Just east of the village of Dong Guzhuang, there is a sand dune with a small temple on the sand dune, and not far away is a cemetery overgrown with pine and cypress trees.

There was a wall in the village, in which the troops dug holes and dug bunker holes at a depth of half a metre above the ground to hide from enemy bullets.

In order to destroy the enemy more effectively, with the help of the local people, a tunnel was dug from the village to the outside of the village, so as to facilitate communication and troop transportation between the village and outside the village.

Liu Zhiyuan said to Han Xing: "Commander Han, let's put the first battalion in the cemetery outside the village, and after the village started, we directly blocked the little devil's butt beating." The second battalion and the mortar battalion were placed in the village to fight, and the third battalion was placed to the west of Dongguzhuang, which was a reserve and could support the front at any time. How about you look at this deployment? ”

Han Xing still said the same thing: "I don't interfere with your command, just treat me as a spectator." ”
