Chapter VI: Takeover of Command

The devils have increased their troops again. It can be seen from the number of enemies in front of the position that the devil has another manpower. The attack on the scale of the devil brigade was only carried out last night, and after the position was recaptured this morning, it was no longer able to launch an attack above the scale of the squadron, but now you see, the little devil in front of the position has at least a thousand people, this little devil is really durable!

The Fifth Division of the Japanese Army is known as the Steel Army, although this nickname is brazen boasting, it may be recognized by the devils of other divisions, which shows that these guys still have some real skills to pee and scrape in the wind. The position that took hundreds of dead and wounded people to get hold of it didn't even stay long enough before they were driven down by the Ninth Army, which made the officers and men of the Fifth Division, who had always believed that they were the illegitimate sons of Amaterasu, very angry. The brigade responsible for attacking the position of the 256th Regiment was weak in attack, and the devil immediately sent reinforcements up. The more than 20,000 people of the Fifth Division did not take these squadrons seriously at all, and after suffering a big loss this morning, they immediately redeployed their manpower in order to regain their positions.

The devil's cannon shot evilly, as if it was trying to turn the mountain over. Feeling the shaking of the earth, most of the people in the regiment headquarters changed their faces, except for two people, one was the regiment commander Xu Yun, and the other was the deputy chief of staff of the regiment, Gao Quan. Xu Yun has not yet recovered from the series of high-level personnel changes such as Hao Mengling's death and Guo Jiqiao's assumption of office, and Gao Quan is shelling to this extent does not matter at all. In his mind, missiles are the real high-power weapons, and if the cannon is a cannon, at least a 155 plus howitzer can be considered a strong enough, and this kind of so-called heavy artillery with a caliber of tens of millimeters is, in his opinion, similar to a toy.

Although the devil's cannon Gao Quan is very unsightly, it can still blow people to death when it really hits the position, and our army's artillery is not as many as the devil's, so it is inevitable that it will be bombed. The fortifications on the position had been blown to pieces by devils yesterday. The regiment gave an order to rebuild, but before it could be repaired, the devil's shells fell again, and the officers and men of the 256th Regiment suffered a loss at once. The fighters on several positions were pressed to the positions by the devil's shells and could not raise their heads, and many positions were directly cut to the ground. By the time the devil's cannon stopped, the devils in the brigade had already climbed halfway up the mountain.

The battle for the high ground immediately became white-hot after the devil's artillery stopped bombing. The telephone of the regiment headquarters began to ring non-stop again, and the voices of the staff officers of the regiment headquarters answering the phone came and went, and several positions were in an emergency at the same time.

Xu Yun also seemed to be desperate, and kept transferring the reserves at hand to the front line, he had already made up his mind, as soon as the reserves were used up, he would take all the personnel of the regiment headquarters to form the last reserve and rush to the forward position. At that time, it will not be called leaving the position without permission, it will be living and dying with the position, anyway, he does not plan to leave this position alive.

A battalion is in a hurry! The commander of the first battalion was killed! More than half of the officers and men of the battalion have already suffered casualties, and if no reinforcements are sent, the rest will definitely not be able to withstand it, and all of them will die on the battlefield in a moment or three.

Xu Yungang wanted to send the last reserve team up, and when he looked up, he just saw Gao Quan. "Senior Deputy Chief of Staff, the commander of the first battalion was killed, and now it is necessary to send reserves up quickly. I have the last platoon of guards left, so take it with you!" ”

Now is not the time to be polite, Xu Yun gave an order in the name of the head of the regiment, Gao Quan immediately raised his hand and saluted, "Yes!" "I didn't say anything at all, I ran out and called the guard platoon to assemble, and ran to the position of the first battalion with the last combatants of the 256th Regiment of the 30s.

Gao Quan: As soon as they left, the devil's shells came again! This time, it was not aimed at any position, but it was placed indiscriminately on the entire mountain bag, and I don't know if the devil's artillery drank too much sake during the lunch meal, in short, there was no purpose at all. This chaotic cannon, which has no purpose at all, has done a miracle! One of the shells didn't know whether it was bent against other shells, or what, from a completely impossible angle, it happened to fall into the regimental command post of the 256th Regiment, and the regiment commander Xu Yun, and all the staff officers, chief of staff, deputy regiment commander, and so on at the regiment headquarters were all unlucky! The only one who survived was the little communicator, the regimental headquarters of the 256th Regiment and all the senior officers who died heroically!

After Gao Quan rushed to the position of the first battalion with the soldiers of the guard platoon and led the soldiers of the whole battalion to repel the attack of the devils, the little messenger of the regiment headquarters ran up with his head in his arms and reported to Gao Quan the tragedy that had just happened. After a lot of effort, Gao Quan became the highest-ranking officer in the 256th Regiment! The soldiers of the guard platoon looked at Gao Quan's eyes full of awe, if they hadn't followed the deputy staff to the position, they would probably have died heroically with the regiment commander now! The luck of this deputy senator is not ordinarily good!

The commander of the first battalion was killed, the commander of the second battalion was killed, and the commander of the third battalion was seriously wounded. At present, the situation in the 135 Heights is extremely unoptimistic, and there is a possibility that it will be attacked by devils at any time. Gao Quan silently calculated in his heart, looked at the 256 Heights again, and made a decision in an instant.

"Wang Dazhu, you go and take over the second battalion immediately! Now I appoint you as the acting commander of the second battalion. Qian Sixi, you go and take over the third battalion, and I will appoint you as the acting battalion commander of the third battalion. After you take over the troops, immediately gather all the soldiers of the two battalions into the position of the third battalion, and give up the forward position of the second battalion to the devils! Each of them took a soldier from the guard platoon with him, and executed it immediately! Seeing that the two of them looked at themselves in a daze, Gao Quan's last sentence shouted loudly, startling the two of them, and after quickly raising their hands to salute, they each picked a soldier from the guard platoon and ran away.

Both of these men have led troops, and the problem of integrating troops should not be big, especially for troops without a commander, and with a regimental headquarters, it should be completely possible. Although Gao Quan has temporarily taken over the position of regiment commander, the situation of the 256th Regiment is not good, this high ground is still too big for the current 256th Regiment, Gao Quan must shrink his position and clench his fists together in order to beat people!

The position of the second battalion was originally too protruding, and after giving it to the devils, although it was easier for the devils to shoot, the few sharpshooters brought by themselves would be more convenient for shooting the devils. The most important thing is that once the two armies get closer, the devil's artillery will have some scruples and can no longer be reckless.

After a while, Gao Quan was still ready to shrink his position again, so he simply gave up the main position of the first battalion, and took people to the position of the third battalion on the flank, and fought guerrilla attacks with the devils on this high ground, and he wanted to consume the devils to death here.

Of course, it's a bit risky to do this, that is, to prevent the devil from being anxious and burning! If there was another indiscriminate shelling, he and all the officers and men of the 256th Regiment would die together with the devils. However, Gao Quan bets that the devil will not do this when he has an advantage, after all, his side has lost his position, and the advantage is on the devil's side, as long as the devil commander has no nerve problems and has no sudden epilepsy, epilepsy and other acute diseases, he should not be so frustrated.
