Chapter XXVII
The devils arranged heavy troops at the front door and fought to the death with Wang Dazhu for two or three hours. At the beginning, the Japanese army broke outward, and our army intercepted it in front, and after a battle to the death, both sides suffered casualties, and the Japanese army's breakthrough was indeed unsuccessful. Then it turned to the two armies. When Wang Dazhu came to his senses and began to attack, the devils fell into the defense.
The Japanese army is very strong, but what they are better at is attacking, attacking forward under the cover of heavy artillery, tanks, and aircraft. If you really want to fight this kind of defensive battle in a pure position, the devils are actually not too good at it, or it should be said that they are not used to it. As soon as the attack and defense of the two armies changed, the devil's side began to be tight, and new new troops were constantly organized from the barracks to come up for reinforcements, and a lot of strength was used to block Wang Dazhu's offensive momentum.
Wang Dazhu had a lot of soldiers in his hands, one battalion after another, and they took turns to press forward, and even Zheng Guotai, the puppet army division that was later transferred to him, also asked Brigade Commander Wang to dismantle it into several battalions and take turns to go to the front to try his hand. The puppet army was able to follow the regular army and fight the devils in a dignified manner, and the current battle still seemed to be dominant, and these former traitor soldiers immediately changed their appearance. When it comes to attacking, it looks like it, and it is much more brave to fight, like a wave-like attack, wave after wave.
The puppet army is like this, not to mention the other troops, they are completely not afraid of death, desperately attacking forward.
The commander of the 503rd Regiment is Liu Xing, who is the ** colonel who was rescued in the first battle after the 500th Division was stationed in Jigong Mountain. Since the 201 Brigade is preparing to follow the path of a regular army, in the appointment of officers, Gao Quan also deliberately uses those regular officers with strong military ability, clean background, and good roots.
After Liu Xing served as a battalion commander in the 201 Brigade for a few days, he was promoted to the commander of the 503rd Regiment by Wang Dazhu. And Wang Jiantang, the commander of the 504th Regiment, was the platoon commander of the 45th Division before. Speaking of which, the two main commanders of the 201 Brigade are really from the ** regular army system, and even if they take it out in the future, they will be completely able to handle it and stand up to investigation. This is the first step for Gao Quan to take the path of regularization, and as the army continues to grow and develop, he will slowly get rid of the notoriety of the bandit general.
When Liu Xing was fighting guerrillas in Jigong Mountain, he led the remnants of two or three hundred people to defeat the generals, and he still dared to entangle with the devils.
It should be said that the Chinese commanders in this battle, in addition to Gao Quan, Wang Dazhu, the core generals of the 500 division, Liu Xing had the greatest psychological advantage. When there are more than 200 people in his hands, he can deal with a brigade of devils, and now the devils are still a brigade, he already has 2,000 people in his hands, and there are tens of thousands of people behind him, in Liu Xing's heart, this battle has not yet been won! Fighting this kind of battle that must be won, if he Liu Xing didn't know how to fight, he would have been in the ** for so many years.
The 503rd Regiment just started to fight with the devil in a stalemate, and it was Liu Xing who was deliberately controlling the rhythm. Commander Liu knew that there were other troops behind him, and he didn't want to go up and let his team fight too hard, so as to prevent the final general attack, the rear strength would be weak, and let other troops take the lead.
Although Liu Xing is suspected of preserving his strength by doing this, how many officers in this year have not preserved his strength? Anyway, whether it was Gao Quan or Wang Dazhu, he didn't give the order to start the general attack, and the head of the Liu regiment was lying on his own position, so he couldn't be wrong, right?
Sun Yuanqing went up with the spy battalion, fought a bloody battle, and retreated; Zheng Guotai and Liu Squint also went up with the puppet army, fought a lot, and also withdrew. Looking at the bloody and traumatized appearance of the friendly army, Liu Xing secretly rejoiced, and the competitive energy in his heart became more and more uncontrollable. The devils in front seemed to be getting weaker and weaker in attack, so Liu Xing quietly stayed attentive and secretly adjusted his troops to the best attack state.
Wang Dazhu saw that the fire was almost over, and gave an order: Start the general attack!
Liu Xing shouted, and rushed up with his 503rd Regiment in the lead! made Wang Dazhu stunned in the back. Originally, he saw that the 503rd Regiment was pressed to the position by the devils and couldn't move, so he sent the special service battalion, the puppet army division, and the team directly under his brigade headquarters in turn. The current general attack was also launched when he heard the report that the 504th Regiment had attacked from the flank of the devil's barracks.
Originally, Wang Dazhu wanted to gather the whole brigade of troops, launch a cluster charge, and rely on the strength of the number of people to drive the devils into the camp in one go, and then surround and annihilate them. Who knows, this 503 regiment actually rushed up with their heads down as if they had been waiting for their own order for a long time!
Good you Liu Xing, you dare to save your strength with me! Wang Dazhu shook his head with a smile, led the rest of the troops, and rushed forward after the 503rd Regiment.
Many of the grassroots officers in the 503rd Regiment were officers in the scattered ** units that Gao Quan had incorporated on Jigong Mountain. These people have rich combat experience, and their ability to execute orders is also strong, and their experience in leading troops and tactical movements are not comparable to those of newly recruited recruits. Even those green forest heroes in the 500 divisions, the overlords of one side, are often inferior to these company and platoon commanders when it comes to frontal attacks. Liu Xing rushed forward with the big guys, and the advantages of these people were brought into play, from the battalion to the company to the platoon, the offensive formation remained intact, covering each other and cross-cooperating, although compared to Gao Quan's strict requirements, there were still many gaps, compared with the other troops in the 500 division, it was already much stronger.
The devil is obviously weak in follow-up now, and the army's morale is unstable, and now he is holding on. The 503rd Regiment attacked with such a fierce force, and the squadron of devils in front of it immediately couldn't hold on. Although the devil's artillery fire is still fierce and the marksmanship is still accurate, the morale of our soldiers is like a rainbow. In the face of the huge attack force of our army, the devils resisted like trapped beasts. Although the resistance was fierce, it seemed so thin and powerless.
After a more intense and bloody firefight between the enemy and us, although the time is not long, the devils finally could not withstand the powerful offensive of our army, and the devils withdrew! In fact, they retreated, and the devils had no way to retreat, so they could only retreat backwards, towards their original barracks, and now the camp like death row.
After working hard for so long, it is finally the last time, and now whoever rushes into the devil camp first will make the first contribution, and whoever cuts off the devil's head the most will have the greatest credit! It has reached the stage of final grabbing and closing, Liu Xing knows very well in his heart, now it depends on how much he can achieve!
"Brothers, follow me!" Liu Xing held a pistol in one hand and a machete in the other. This is what he learned from Wang Dazhu. When he was in Jigong Mountain, once when the battle was at its fiercest, Wang Dazhu led the troops to charge with a pistol and a knife in the other. And Liu Xing also found that many officers of the 500 Division have a big knife, of course he understands the saying that he follows the customs of the country, since he came to the 500 Division, he must do it according to the rules of others, Liu Xing also found himself a machete.
The soldiers of the 503rd Regiment followed Liu Xing into the devil's barracks.
