Section 3 Iron and Blood (1)
Chiang Kai-shek's heavy rewards and a series of decisions made the generals of the Great Wall front completely abandon the idea of preserving their strength, and realized that the central government was determined to compete with the Yue army on the Great Wall, so the generals began to put all their forces into battle.
After Wei Lihuang's troops arrived at Lengkou, Shang Zhen transferred the 142nd Division, the 141st Division, and the troops directly under the army, which had been far away in Kaiping, to Lengkou, and adjusted the deployment, and the 139th Division, which had suffered relatively large losses in the early operation, withdrew from its position and transferred to the 10th Division of the 14th Army to defend the main position on Phoenix Mountain, the 142nd Division of the 32nd Army to defend the first line of Liujiakou on the right flank, the 141st Division to guard the first line of Baiyangyu on the left flank, the 34th Brigade to garrison the Jianchang Battalion, and the 139th Division as the reserve. As a result of this adjustment, the Lengkou front line was transformed from a front of less than 180,000 people defended by one division to four divisions and one brigade, and the strength of the troops directly under the two armies was increased by four times, forming four lines of defense from the Lengkou front through Lanruoyuan, Yazuiwan, and Jianchangying.
After the Gubeikou Nantianmen defense line was reinforced by the 87th Division, Xu Tingyao and Huang Jie's 2nd Division were all used in the front of Nantianmen, and at the same time built six reserve positions behind Nantianmen, and the 83rd Division sent a brigade to occupy the left flank of Nantianmen, and the main force was placed on the line of Daohuangdian and Yongquanzhuang as a reserve. Huang Jie used the 8th Regiment of the Zhengdong National Department of the 4th Brigade to defend the crucial commanding heights of Badaolouzi, and this key adjustment changed the situation of the Nantianmen battle.
On 9 April, as the Chinese generals had predicted, the main force of the 6th Division and the 33rd Brigade launched an attack on Lengkou, while at the same time, the 8th Division and the 14th Mixed Brigade began to assemble at Gubeikou, with the Murakami detachment of the 7th Division on alert at Xifengkou, and the Suzuki Brigade of the 14th Division and the Heiduo Brigade, a special dispatch unit, to carry out a diversionary attack in Luandong.
As for Chadong, Muto Nobuyoshi just glanced at it coldly, there were only a rabble of people known as the righteous army, just let Yu Zhishan look at them. But these rabble, but they are in high spirits and are on the task of counterattacking, and they are stabbing him in the heart.
On the day of the 9th of April, on the day when the Yue army launched an attack, on the barren mountains of Chadong, Deng Wen took a deep look in the northeast direction, then rolled up his cigarette stick and inserted it in his waist, and gently kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the big black horse under his crotch ran forward briskly, remembering the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him.
In a valley more than ten miles in front of him, the little white dragon Fan Chunshen led his nearly 700 brothers and hurried silently towards the territory of Rehe, and no one in the team spoke, only the sound of footsteps was heard.
Farther north, Huang Shouzhong and Li Zhongyi led their troops through the hills on the edge of the grassland, and their mission was to harass the supply lines of the Yue army near Chifeng and carry out camera strikes on small units of the Yue army.
To the south of them, the old north wind, a gust of wind, and the snow waves were divided into several roads, and they traveled at night, bypassing the stronghold of the puppet army, and rushing towards the Ninghua area.
On a barren and overgrown mountain beam north of Guyuan, Sun Dianying laughed at Huang Shaohong and said: "Don't worry, I, Sun Dianying, have dug the ancestral grave of Xiao Puyi before, and this time I must stab him twice in the ass of Lao Tzu, let him know that Han Jian is not so easy to do, hahaha!! ”
Amid the laughter, the two armies headed east, while another, larger stream of people headed south, in the direction of Dushikou.
"Boom!" "Boom! "The bombs exploded on the position, blowing up large craters, and the soldiers hid in the bulletproof craters in the trenches and bent over, trying their best to minimize the target, and a few black dots floating in the sky rushed down from time to time, falling a few black dots from the black stomach, and then turned their heads and flew farther into the blue sky.
"!" Zhu Bo raised his head from the dust and looked hatefully at the planes in the distance, because the squadron did not have anti-aircraft weapons, the military planes flew very low, and they could even see the pilot's face clearly when diving. In the past few days, the trenches have been blown up several times, and every night, the soldiers do not have to rest to rebuild the fortifications, only in this way they may have fewer casualties tomorrow, so the position is repaired by the bombing, repaired by the bombing, and becomes a different appearance.
"Battalion commander! Battalion commander! The enemy is coming! The observer shouted, and Zhu Bo jumped up from the crater: "Enter the position!" Get into position! ”
Living soldiers came out of nowhere and ran into position, their eyes fixed on the black spots moving up and down, while a few were busy digging out the brothers buried in the collapsed artillery holes, some dead and some still alive.
Zhu Bo looked at the soldiers who were struggling to climb up, these soldiers were stout, but most of them were short, and the three or eight guns in their hands were about to catch up with their height, but it was just an appearance, after a few days of fighting, everyone on the position knew that these school rules were very tenacious, and every time they were beaten down, they would have to pay a great price.
"Hit!" Zhu Bo said and raised the shell gun in his hand and took the lead in firing a long point below, and then all the light and heavy fire on the position opened fire in full force, and the soldiers who walked in front fell more than a dozen, and the soldiers behind immediately lay on the ground, looking for concealment, and formed a confrontation with the middle [***] team above. After a while, the soldiers began to climb upwards alternately, and the fire of the Chinese soldiers became more intense.
"! It's been four days, how many times has this been Counselor Wang? How many people are there in the third battalion? Zheng Dongguo asked with a blushing face in the command headquarters, in the past few days, the army has attacked Nantianmen like crazy, and in just four days, the main position has been replenished five times, and the three battalions guarding the position were replaced only last night.
"Fifth offensive." A young staff officer next to him replied, "Last time it was reported that there were two hundred and eighty people. ”
"Brother Gui Ting, don't worry." Du Yuming lowered his head and marked the map on it, and then recorded it in his notebook after he was done. Du Yuming arrived yesterday morning, and he was supposed to go to Sima Tai with Song Xilian's 87th Division, but after the Nantianmen fight, there was no movement on Sima Tai's side, so he ran here. The second division, from division commander Huang Jie to the brigade commanders below, are all Huangpu classmates, and it is easy to talk and do things.
"Who's in a hurry," Zheng Dongguo's tone was still restless: "Damn, this little devil is too bullying, the plane cannons are coming, the dog said!" ”
"I don't think they will be strong for long," Du Yuming said unhurriedly: "After four days of fighting, there was no progress, which is unacceptable to the arrogant Yue army, so I estimate that they will .........." ”
"Boom!" A bomb exploded nearby, and the fire made the headquarters red, but neither Zheng Dongguo at the observation port nor Du Yuming in front of the map moved at all.
"That's all the same, the devils on the other side are close to thirty thousand," Zheng Dongguo said nonchalantly, but he still turned around and walked to the map: "Do you think they will attack from there?" ”
"It's all the same there," Du Yuming replied to Zheng Dongguo, but he pointed to the map and said: "Pay attention to the eight buildings, other positions can be lost, only the eight buildings cannot be lost, as long as it is in our hands, the lost positions can also be taken back." ”
"Nonsense! This still needs to be said," Zheng Dongguo scolded dissatisfiedly, he trusted Du Yuming very much, this trust came from teaching the third battalion and seven companies of the second regiment, in fact, he was still a little uncomfortable when it came to the third battalion and seven companies, two of the three platoon commanders of the year became division commanders, and he, the party representative of the battalion, was only a brigade commander.
"It's not nonsense, I went to Badaolou last night to see it, and their guard at night was very poor." Song Yunfei suddenly interjected. Song Yunfei still has the right to speak among these Whampoa classmates, for no other reason, Zhuang Jihua took him to hang out in Guangzhou and became familiar with them.
"What do you mean? Make it clear. Zheng Dongguo asked with a calm face, he didn't accuse Song Yunfei of interfering, but he was unhappy that he said half hiding and half hiding.
"If I were the commander of the army, I would climb up from the edge of the cliff at night." Song Yunfei said calmly.
"Climb up? Is it possible? Counselor Wang was unconvinced and asked, "Can the army's big thick leather boots climb such a high cliff?" ”
"Leather boots can be replaced with cloth shoes, as long as you can win eight buildings, even barefoot." Song Yunfei was not polite at all.
"You!" Staff Officer Wang felt that the other party was deliberately raising the bar, and he was a little angry: "How do you know that the Yue army will climb up?" ”
"I don't know, I just thought what I would do if I played Badaolou, and that's the conclusion." Song Yunfei replied coldly.
"I think Yun Fei is right, as long as he can win the eight buildings, let alone barefoot, even if he is barefoot." Du Yuming said coldly: "Brother Gui Ting, this is not a joke. ”
Zheng Dongguo nodded: "This is Zhuang Jihua's style," he said, and grabbed the phone: "Commander Wang, be careful of the enemy's night attack!" Eight buildings! Watch out for night raids! How many people are there on the eight buildings? What, a company, confused, you go personally, you are not allowed to withdraw without an order, the strength is a battalion. ”
Putting down the phone, Zheng Dongguo couldn't help but scold: "This Bairun, he only put one company in such an important place!" This treasure cub! ”
"Knocked down," the chief of staff came in from the outside: "the enemy is knocked down." ”
"What about the casualties?"
"There were more than 60 casualties, and now there are about 150 people left. Do you want to send some reinforcements up? "The chief of staff had a heavy face, and in less than a day, the third battalion had been reduced by half.
"No, Zhu Bo knows if he can keep it." Zheng Dongguo's face was pale, he knew this subordinate very well, he grabbed the binoculars and looked ahead.
The position was blazing, and the army began a new round of shelling.
