Meng Changdong strode to the finger department, it was a small pillbox made of several wooden stakes, and there were two MG42 heavy machine guns on the side, because the bunker had no windows, and the shooting hole was too small, Meng Changdong simply put the combat table outside, and it was a thick layer of scorched earth.

Meng Changdong walked into the bunker, looked at the platoon commanders lined up with his eyes, and said, "Each platoon reports the casualties." ”

A second lieutenant in the company wrote, "Report! 1 platoon was killed, nine wounded, and two seriously wounded. 2 platoons were killed, 12 wounded, 8 seriously wounded. Three platoons were killed, seven were wounded, and two were slightly wounded. 4 rows ....... The clerk squeaked and was silent.

Meng Changdong shot the document with a sharp light from the corner of his eye, and said fiercely: "How is the fourth row?" ”

The clerk put his hand on his eyes and said: "The 4th platoon has suffered a major attack in the past two days, and there are only five people on the position, and one of them is blind and still holding the position, squad; The platoon commander was all killed, so a private came. ”

"5 platoon commanders! You immediately bring someone to take over the position of the fourth platoon with me. Meng Changdong said decisively.

"Yes!"

Meng Changdong looked at the platoon commanders of the surrounding platoons again, because the platoon commanders were all flowery, Meng Changdong didn't pay much attention at first, and then he paid attention to it and said, "Huh! How do the platoon commanders of the 1st and 2nd platoons look at me? ”

At this time, a soldier stood up and saluted, "Report to the company commander!" I am Tian Dagui, the squad leader of the 1st platoon and the 3rd squad, and our principal and deputy platoon leaders were all killed in one day yesterday. The squad leaders of the 1st and 2nd squads were also killed in two enemy attacks today. ”

At this time, another soldier also saluted: "Report to the company commander!" I am Zheng Jiu, the squad leader of the 2nd platoon and the 1st squad, and our platoon commander is now seriously injured and in a coma, and the deputy platoon commander died in the battle in the early hours of this morning. Our platoon also sacrificed three squad leaders. ”

The whip in Meng Changdong's hand slapped heavily on the combat platform and said, "Damn! In just three days, the little devil carried out no less than fifty consecutive attacks on my 13507 high. It's only half past six in the morning, and the little devil has already carried out two large-scale attacks, and it seems that the little devil is determined to win my 13507 heights. ”

"It's not just a matter of ambition, it's just a desire to kill us." At this time, a word came from outside the bunker, and a captain and officer plunged into the bunker, patted the dirt and dust on his body, spat twice, and said, "Damn! The devils began to throw shells on the high ground again, and they were about to attack. ”

Meng Changdong said to the platoon commanders: "If you enter the position immediately, you must guard every piece of land for me." ”

"Yes!" After the platoon commanders answered, they immediately rushed out of the pillbox and entered their respective positions, and the artillery outside roared, and some shells landed on the side of the fingers, and the scorched earth was blown up, and the heat surged.

Bao Xiaoming, the one who had just come in, was the company deputy of the 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion, who had just been promoted from the Whampoa Teaching Column. Bao Xiaoming unbuttoned the closed button of the military uniform with his left hand, and poured cold water with a porcelain cup in his right hand, and after drinking, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Meng Changdong: "Old Meng, I see that this battle is a bit evil!" It stands to reason that our old Zhuangzi is not a battleground for soldiers! Why do the devils beat the old Zhuangzi, especially our 13507 highland devils, they are like crazy, Yungang; Huaxiang doesn't even put a fart there. ”

Meng Changdong buried his head in the map and didn't look up, "Hmph!" God knows what the devil is doing? From the 7th to today, the devils have attacked our high ground more than 50 times, and we have suffered more than 70 casualties. After speaking, he handed Bao Xiaoming the list and number that had just been counted, picked up the telescope, looked at the shooting hole of the bunker, and muttered: "This is not counting the soldiers who were slightly injured." ”

"Seventy-six, it's okay! I think the devils have suffered at least 700 casualties in the past few days. Bao Xiaoming said while watching.

Meng Changdong didn't look back, looked at it in the binoculars, and exclaimed: "Old Bao, don't you seem to be fighting without a little discipline when you come to see the little devil?" ”

Bao Xiaoming also glanced at it, threw the telescope on the table, and sat down on the two empty ammunition boxes that had been built up and lit a cigarette: "When the battle comes, there must be a fart rule on this, and the two words 'attack' and 'defend' are the rules." Don't look at it, smoke a cigarette, and you won't have time to smoke it later. ”

Meng Changdong also put down the binoculars, took Xiao Ming's cigarette, scolded and sat on Xiao Ming's side: "Damn, did the little devil take the wrong medicine, it's really fucking dead." ”

Left side of 13507 Heights. The soldiers of the National Youth League were squatting in the trench fortifications with guns to avoid the artillery fire of the devils, listening to the sound of the cannon slowly thinning out.

The 5th platoon commander shouted: "Prepare for battle, the devil is coming up." ”

"Put the devil closer, and I'm fighting." "Heavy machine guns; Light machine guns are aimed at the places where the devils are gathered. "The devil uses a grenade when he is near." The squad leaders of each squad are explaining the essentials of the operation.

After the last shell hit the ground, I heard a shout from high underground, and I saw that the devil's yellow dot was getting closer and closer, and the shouting was getting louder and louder, and from time to time there were sporadic gunshots and the cover of the crooked handle behind. When the little devil was still more than ten meters away from the position, he saw that the gunfire was thundering on the position; Bullets rained down. The little devil may be estimated that there will not be many people above to organize the superior soldiers, and they want to take the left side of the 13507 heights in one fell swoop, and then occupy the entire 13507 heights, but they did not expect that the left side will add troops, and a powerful counterattack on the high ground hit the devil unexpectedly, and the little devil left dozens of corpses to withdraw from the high ground. The left side of the 13507 Heights was cheering again.

Blue House, the forward command post of the Japanese army. At this time, Takagi Yoshito was like an ant on a hot pot, constantly moving around in the camp tent, and two wings of one of his brigades and regiments could not capture a single company of the high ground guarded by only one company of soldiers in three days. Now another offensive failure made him even more annoyed, his 39th brigade was the first to start the attack on Beiping, but it was also his brigade in a small projectile under the high ground of Lao Zhuangzi could not be taken down after all, at this time, a Qingmu was in the encirclement of the people, Qingmu's wing and brigade were blocked by the old Zhuangzi in front, and Wanping was at his fingertips, and it was the stubborn defense line of the old Zhuangzi that made him sigh.

In fact, a Qingmu's wing has almost been wiped out by the 29th Army outside Wanping City, and now it is the infantry brigade of the garrison army that is operating in the middle of the Lugou Bridge, and the three wings under the jurisdiction of the Hebian Zhengsan are the three wings of Yimu Qingzhi, which is also a unit that provoked in Wanping City on July 7, and after a few days of fighting with the 29th Army, the battle situation is not optimistic at all. Kawabe Shozo was not in proper command in Langfang, and he was eager to make up for his achievements, so he ordered Mu Tiankou to transfer a large number of infantry; Artillery; Tank reinforcements, Ichiki Qingzhi, fought to the death with the 29th Army at Lugou Bridge, but the battle situation was not as smooth as Kawabe Shozo imagined, and after nearly three days of hard fighting, the troops were also in a dilemma. Takagi Yoshito thought that there was a Qingmu army in the Wanping War, so he swore to bite the old Zhuangzi away, but he just ran into a hard bone, looking at the riverside Zhengsan in the area of Lugou Bridge in full swing, his heart was an itch, how could the fat in front of him be swallowed by others, his heart was crossed, and he decided to launch a full-scale general attack at noon, vowing to step on the 13507 heights of the Pingzhi people.

At this time, it was not only Yoshito Takagi who was heartbroken, but also Teng Hao, the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the National Youth League. The command headquarters of the 2nd battalion of Mahegou in the outer position of Lao Zhuangzi is now extremely busy, Teng Hao and Nie Yufeng looked at the map for a long time and analyzed the current battle situation, Teng Hao put the magnifying glass on the table and said: "Look at it the same, we are not only Wanping but also the regimental headquarters behind us, and now this battle is a bit eyebrow-raising, we only have one word 'guard'." Ordered the 5th Company to go to the 13507 Heights and defend with the 3rd Company, even if the devil has thousands of troops and horses, he will resist me. ”

Nie Yufeng said: "This 13507 Heights is indeed the key to this battle, Shaofan has not issued a new order so far, it seems that we want to defend the 13507 Heights." ”

"Resist the wind! You are not ashamed to be born in Huangpu, and you know from the beginning that the 13507 Heights are the top priority of our 2nd Battalion! If you hadn't urged the 3rd Company to repair the fortifications on the 13507 Heights, I'm afraid the 3rd Company would have ceased to exist a long time ago. Teng Hao stood up and said.

Yu Feng sighed and said, "We still miscalculated!" At that time, we always thought that Mahegou was the main battlefield, but now the 13507 heights are the main target of contention. I propose to place all mortars in our battalion on the western slope of the 13507 position to give 3; 5 companies were supported by strong artillery fire. ”

"Not bad! Damn, just move the battalion headquarters to the 13507 heights, and leave the 1st company in Mahegou as a reserve, and all the troops will go to the 13507 heights to fight to the death with Takagi Yoshito. Teng Hao slapped the table and said, "That Takagi Yoshito wants to eat my 2nd battalion, just see if he has a good pair of teeth." ”

Yu Feng clapped his hands and said, "Yes! Fight to the death! ”

Mahegou is a small village along the east of the Yongding River, the Yongding River passes through here, and the 13507 highland is on the west bank of the Yongding River, it is an unnamed hill, it is located in the middle of the concave land of the 'several' shaped river, just like an urn city, guarding the west bank of the Yongding River, to cross the Yongding River here to the Mahegou, it is necessary to lay the 13507 highland, so the 13507 highland has become the main target of the National Youth League and the 39th Brigade of the Japanese Army at the beginning. At the beginning, Teng Hao and Nie Yufeng always thought that the 'several' shaped river was the defense of their 2nd battalion, but what they didn't expect was that the Yongding River in summer had a gentle flow and the water level dropped to facilitate crossing the river, which was not easy to defend, so they desperately held the 13507 Heights, which led to a brutal battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies against the 13507 Heights.

"Shaofan!" Zhang Wenshan rushed into the regiment headquarters and shouted: "Teng Hao, is this kid crazy, he put the entire 2nd battalion on the 13507 heights." ”

Shen Shaofan was drawing on the map with a blue and red double-headed pen, and he didn't look up, but just smiled and said: "I just appreciate his energy, which makes people feel uplifted." ”

"The 13507 heights are important, but don't expose the entire battalion to the range of the devil's fire! How many people do devils die in one artillery cover? Zhang Wenshan was angry, sat on the edge of Shaofan, and fanned the wind with a military hat.

Shen Shaofan glanced at Wen Shan, couldn't help laughing, he put down the red and blue drawing brush, pushed the map to Wen Shan, pointed in the direction of Yongding, and said, "Do you know how many devils the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company have restrained in the past three days?" ”

"The entire North China garrison army!" Shaofan poked the map with his finger and said: "Now the commander of the 29th Army, Division Zhang, has cut off the back road of the devils, and the entire route of the cloister has been blocked by the 38th Division. ”

Zhang Wenshan looked at the map and couldn't help but be surprised: "It turns out that the devil's intention is in the direction of Yongding." ”

Shaofan picked up the teacup and took a sip of water: "Yamashita Fengwen under Kawagishi Bunzaburo led the 40th Brigade to look at Yongding, if it weren't for the 2nd Battalion dragging Takagi Yoshito's troops on the 13507 Heights, it is difficult for us to imagine what the consequences would be if Yamashita Fengwen and Takagi Yoshito attacked from both sides." ”

Zhang Wenshan nodded and said: "The devil is now in a dilemma, the entire garrison army has been put into this battle, and it seems a little unwilling to fight it for a while." ”

"Not bad!" Shaofan said: "The devil's troops were divided and pinned down by the 29th Army and our department, and the 13507 heights were the focus of the original plan to disrupt the devils." Tashiro Wanichiro's original step was to have Takagi Yoshito's troops knock on the defense line of our old Zhuangzi, pick up a clear wood at Fengtai, and then turn to Yongding and Yamashita Fengwen troops to attack from east to west, there are riverside Zhengsan troops in the area of Lugou Bridge and Wanping to contain the 29th Army, and then there are three forces in Fengtai from east to west, consuming part of the strength of the 29th Army, and then attacking Wanping and Nanwan, launching an offensive to attack Beiping in these two places. And the devil has not even done the first step, the following action is difficult to implement, the problem is that our department is also out of a dilemma, the first is that the strength can not be changed, once which position is deployed to support the 13507 heights, which position will become the devil's all-out attack target, but the 13507 heights have now become the focus of this battle, if there are no reinforcements, I am afraid that the 2nd battalion will not be able to withstand it. ”

"Oh!" Zhang Wenshan said: "It turns out that we can't mobilize a single soldier on any position. Therefore, Teng Hao tried his best to take advantage of the favorable terrain of the 13507 Heights to drag the devil with the greatest force. ”

"Not bad! Therefore, it was not crazy that he went to the 13507 heights of the whole battalion, but wanted to clamp down on the strength of the North China garrison army even more. The 2nd Battalion is now fighting this battle for our entire National Youth League! Shaofan said with certainty.

Zhang Wenshan said: "Then transfer the pre-dry column!" ”

"No!" Shaofan said: "I have another use for the pre-dry column. ”

"What's the use?" Zhang Wenshan asked curiously.

Shen Shaofan smiled mysteriously and said, "I have a plan, but it's not ripe yet, and I'll tell you when the time comes." As he spoke, he walked out of the regimental headquarters with his armed belt and gun.

Zhang Wenshan was still a little unwilling, and he also walked out of the group, and chased after him with his fingers and asked: "What's the use, talk about it quickly, don't hang people's appetites!" ”
