Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Sichuan Army Comes to Help
"Traveler? I'm Chen Shengshou. The devil launched a brigade-level charge in front of our battalion's position, and asked the brigade seat to show it. "In line with the habit of removing the deputy word when the Chinese people call the deputy chief, the old thief also calls Liu Xing a brigade.
The other end of the phone was silent as if there was no one, but the old thief knew that Liu Xing definitely hadn't left. After a long while, Liu Xing's voice came from the earpiece: "Old thief, you can watch it." After defeating this attack of the devils, if you do not receive any other orders, you should withdraw with the rest of the brothers. ”
Repel this attack? Easy to say! If you can really repel the devil's attack this time, it's hard to say whether there will be anyone left on the battlefield in the end! Even if someone can survive, the remaining people will definitely not be able to stop the devil from attacking again, Liu Xing has left a way out for the old thief.
"Battalion commander, look!" Just as the old thief was concentrating on stuffing bullets into the magazine, the pony suddenly stopped shooting and called out to him to look out.
"What's wrong?" The old thief was startled, grabbed the magazine, leaned up, and looked out of the trench.
The formation of devils who were originally lined up in an offensive formation and advanced while shooting suddenly became chaotic! Some of the devils turned around and ran back, while others froze in place, neither advancing nor retreating, but crawled there to shoot at our troops on the position. It's just that the devils, who have always been very hard-headed, seem to have some kind of change, and the devils' shots are starting to scatter and weaken. Immediately after, there was even greater chaos in the back of the devil's team, and various noises such as gunshots and shouts of killing came from the back of the devil! Reinforcements! Our reinforcements are coming!
"Battalion commander, division phone!"
The communicator's voice startled the old thief, how could he skip the brigade seat, and the division seat directly called the position?
"Master, I'm Chen Shengshou." The old thief's voice was quite calm, a veteran like him, let alone talking to the division, even if he talked to the military seat on the phone, he didn't feel a little nervous.
"Battalion Commander Chen, our reinforcements are coming, and the Twentieth Army is coming to reinforce us! Did you see that? They should have already launched an attack on the Japanese troops in front of your position! Wang Dazhu's deep voice came from the earpiece.
"Yes, I see it! Is it the Twentieth Army? That's great! Division, is my battalion going to charge now? "Since the reinforcements have already descended from the back of the devil, as the assisted side takes the initiative to attack, it is an inevitable combat step to flank the Japanese army on both sides, and the old thief just wants to confirm it from the division seat.
"How many people are still on your position?" There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Wang Dazhu asked another question.
"Well, I haven't counted it yet, but it's estimated that there are about a hundred." The old thief was a little uncertain. If you don't count the seriously wounded, it is estimated that a hundred people will not arrive, but if they are seriously wounded, those who are seriously wounded will not be able to participate in the counterattack operation, so it doesn't seem appropriate to count them in, right?
"Then your unit doesn't have to attack, hold your position, protect the radio station, and be ready to receive notices from your superiors at any time. Be sure to keep the communication open. ”
"Yes! Resolutely ensure smooth communication! The old thief replied loudly.
"Turtle son, these little devils are quite difficult!" Yang Hanyu, who spoke Sichuanese, looked at it with a telescope and scolded.
Yang Hanyu is the nephew of Yang Sen, one of the Five Elements of the Sichuan Army, and is currently the commander of the Twentieth Army.
"That's it, it's the Sixth Division! Hey, military seat, the five hundred troops are not authentic, let's come all the way to relieve them, why don't they come to answer it? Attack in two ways, and work hard at both ends to beat the devil away! Why didn't he even understand this? Yang Gancai, the commander of the 134th Division, who was slightly taller and had protruding eyes next to him, was very dissatisfied with the inaction of the 500 Army.
"Don't say that," Yang Hanyu glared at the cadre under him, "It's not once or twice that Commander Gao has fought the Sixth Division alone!" Have you not carefully studied the history of the 500 Army, after they were transferred to the 9th Theater, they fought three battles, each time fighting with the 6th Division. The wings of the Sixth Division let him call all over again! Their record is much better than that of our 20th Army! They don't send troops now, there must be a use for someone's home, let's not just guess! ”
"Yes." The military seat said this, what else did Yang Gancai have to say? Holding a telescope to the edge of Yang Hanyu, the two continued to observe the enemy's situation.
The sudden addition of the 20th Army caused a panic among the Japanese army, but Lieutenant General Kanda had more cards to play. The many 20th armies on the battlefield, although the 6th Division was nervous for a while, but under the strong dispatch of Kanda Masazhong, the devils quickly stabilized.
With the 13th and 45th field wings in hand, plus the baggage wing and the cavalry wing, these two combat units that can have an impact on the battle situation at any time, as well as the engineering and field artillery wings that can also squeeze people out of the battlefield at critical moments, Kanda is full of confidence. Even though there are two main forces on the battlefield now, His Excellency the Lieutenant General is still calm and easy to deal with.
On the other hand, our army, the units of the 500th Army had been fighting fiercely for two days on the Piaofeng Ridge front line and the 6th Division, although the artillery bombarded Tokutaro Shikai, shot Okamoto Zhenchen, annihilated most of the 23rd Wing, and achieved a series of achievements that were enough to make the world cheer, but the 500 Army itself also suffered heavy casualties.
When it first participated in the battle, the 500 Army had more than 20,000 soldiers, and until now, according to the casualty figures of various troops, it is roughly estimated that all the soldiers who can fight in the whole army are added together, and even 15,000 are not even 15,000! There were also more than 2,000 wounded.
The Twentieth Army has been fighting with devils by the Xinqiang River since the beginning of the battle, and it has been fighting all the way to the present, even if the Sichuan Army has sufficient reserves and is now fighting, where do you let them go to replenish people? It is estimated that Yang Hanyu's troops should not be as many as the current 500 army. As we all know, the Sichuan army is poorly armed. Gao Quan has unremittingly used various means to expand the strength of his troops since he formed the army, although it is much worse than the 74th Army and the First Army with the backing of the commission, compared with Yang Hanyu's Sichuan Army, the 500 Army is still much stronger.
"Contact the Twentieth Army, I want to meet with Yang Hanyu." Now that he has arrived at the same battlefield, of course Gao Quan wants to meet with this famous general of the Sichuan army, and he also hopes to make the Sichuan army more powerful, how can he talk about it without meeting?
"Yes!" The person who promised next to him was Chen Laosi, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion. Contacting friendly forces like this is, of course, the Scout's job.
After sending the mission here, Gao Quan controlled the whole army and continued to fight the devils. There are 20 more armies on the battlefield, and although the tense situation has eased somewhat, 10,000 or 20,000 devils are still there, and the devils' attacks have not stopped. It is impossible for you to expect Kanda to run out and fight Gao Quan like an ancient hero, and the war requires the vast number of ordinary soldiers of our army to fight with one bullet at a time.
