Seeing that someone was holding an explosive bag to blow up the tanks of the Japanese army, the guard platoon and several machine gunners on the front four company positions immediately became excited, except for the two Makqin heavy machine guns, the remaining Czech light machine guns all hugged, screaming and spitting fire on the positions of the Japanese army, eager to shoot all the bullets in the magazine at once.

The light and heavy machine guns of the Yue army were suddenly completely suppressed, and the infantry was also so pressed that they couldn't raise their heads, and the remaining two grenadiers probed their brains in the trenches and wanted to knock out the [***] fire point, and were shot in the head by Yue Weihan's horn and two shots, Yue Weihan's marksmanship is by no means covered, as long as the army shows his head slightly, this kid basically has it.

Even Yao Changqing, who was at the forward observation post, couldn't help but applaud: "Good boy, good marksmanship!" ”

Besides, the Shaanxi Leng Wa, who magically crossed the fire blockade of the Yue Army, only crossed the distance of nearly 100 meters in a moment and rushed to the front of the Yue Jun tank, and then pulled the lead to throw the explosive bag at the Yue Jun Tucker and turned around and ran away, only to hear a bang, and a large group of fireworks bloomed on the Yue Jun Tucker, and the Shaanxi Leng Wa was also swept to the ground by a huge wave of air.

The smoke dissipated, and I saw that the front-firing machine gun of the army tank had been blown up, but the tank itself seemed to be not much damaged, but it only slightly adjusted its downward direction, and then ran straight towards Shaanxi Lengwa.

Yue Weihan, who was hiding in the crater, was so angry that he scolded his mother, this idiot, why didn't you blow up the tracks?

Just when Yue Weihan jumped to scold his mother, the Shaanxi Leng Wa jumped up again, this time jumping directly onto the Yujun tank, and held a smoking Chinese-made grenade in his right hand, but after getting on the tank, the Leng Wa found that he couldn't find a hole that could be stuffed into the grenade, and when he was in a hurry, he accurately shot through his head.

Shaanxi Leng Wa's body shook twice, and then fell on the army tank, the country-made grenade was coincidentally pressed by him between the chest and the barrel of the 37 mm main gun of the army tank, only to hear a bang, Leng Wa's body suddenly bounced into the sky again, and the 37 mm main gun of the army tank also turned around.

The front-firing machine gun and the 37-mm main gun were blown up one after another, and the Type 95 light tank completely lost its assault capability, so it had to turn around and start retreating.

The commander of the fourth company of the Yao battalion wanted to take the opportunity to fight a counterattack, but suffered a big loss, losing most of the platoon in vain, and soon, the little devils in both directions left the battlefield one after another, but Yue Weihan knew very well that the bloody battle of Baoshan had just begun.

Yue Weihan ordered the guard platoon to build fortifications on the spot, but he returned to the forward observation post alone.

"Loyalty, your marksmanship is good." Seeing Yue Weihan, Yao Changqing praised first, and then reprimanded, "But why don't you take your troops at the forward position, but run back to the observation post?" ”

Yue Weihan said: "Sir, you also saw the situation just now, the little devil only dispatched two light tanks and two reinforced squads, and our defense line outside the north gate is already in danger, and if the army attacks from multiple directions at the same time with more troops, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Speaking of this, Yue Weihan was also slanderous about Yao Changqing in his heart.

Many [***] generals have a weakness, that is, they lack sufficient understanding of the role of the reserves, how many troops will be put on the front, if the war goes well, it will be fine, but once the war is not smooth, it will be difficult to have a chance to turn the situation back, speaking of which Yao Changqing is not bad, and more or less left a guard platoon as a reserve.

"Forgive me for being too worried." Yao Changqing said disapprerovingly, "There are many ponds and puddles outside the east gate and the south gate, and the tanks of the army cannot be put into battle, only with the infantry of the army, even if it is two reinforced squadrons, it may not be able to break through the defense line of the second and third companies, although the terrain outside the west gate is flat, but there are houses along the street to rely on, and the position of the first company is supported by the position of the 584th regiment, you can be safe, as long as you can take the guard platoon to protect the side of the fourth company, this Baoshan City can be as stable as a rock!" ”

Seeing that Yao Changqing still insisted on his opinion, Yue Weihan suddenly became a little anxious: "Sir......"

"Enough!" Yao Changqing said impatiently, "Now I order you to return to the forward position immediately!" ”

Seeing that Yao Changqing's expression was not good, Yue Weihan had no choice but to return to the forward position in a huff.

As soon as Yue Weihan returned to the forward position, the second round of artillery preparations of the Yue army began, and this time more than a dozen bombers of the Yue army appeared in the sky, and they bombed the [***] position outside the west gate of Baoshan indiscriminately, and after dropping the bombs, they repeatedly dived and strafed back and forth against the [***] position with machine guns, causing great damage to [***].

Before the shelling had completely stopped, and the smoke of gunpowder had not completely dissipated, the Yue army dispatched two squadrons of troops, and under the guidance of four light tanks, launched a strong attack on the outer positions of the west gate of Baoshan, and the attack troops of the Yue army also appeared outside the north gate, east gate and south gate at the same time, but there were not many Yue troops in these directions, and their purpose was nothing more than to contain [***].

The fierce battle lasted until noon, and Sun Yifu, the commander of the first company, was killed, and the outer positions of the West Gate began to be in an emergency.

Yao Changqing then ordered the battalion deputy Zhao Dahe to lead more than 30 battalion cooks, grooms, medical soldiers, communication soldiers and other miscellaneous personnel to rush forward to support, and then fought until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the outer position of the West Gate was finally lost, most of the casualties in a company, only more than 40 people were left to retreat to the city wall, and the battalion deputy Zhao Dahe led the death squad to break off and martyred heroically.

The army took advantage of the situation to seize the city, but was repelled by the defenders relying on the fortifications of the city wall, so along the side of the city wall to attack the south gate and the east gate of Baoshan, and then fought until about five o'clock in the afternoon, the south gate and the outer position of the east gate were lost successively, and the guard platoon and the four companies that held the outer position of the north gate became a lone army in front of the breakthrough, and could be eaten by the army on three sides at any time, Yao Changqing had to order to retreat to the city wall, and blocked the four gates with the reinforced concrete prepared in advance, and prepared to defend Baoshan.

The next morning, the army mobilized more than 10 warships and dozens of heavy artillery pieces to concentrate firepower on the city wall of the East Gate.

At about 10 o'clock, the city wall on the left side of the east gate of Baoshan was blown open a section of more than 40 meters wide, the army swarmed along the gap, the battalion commander Yao Ziying personally led the death squad to launch a decisive counterattack, and the army launched a tragic white-edged battle, fierce battle to the twilight, the army finally did not support, withdrew from the city wall, and Baoshan City did not move.

However, after two bloody battles, Yao Changqing's battalion also suffered heavy casualties, the officers and men of the battalion were sharply reduced from the original 500 to less than 200, eight company commanders and company deputies were all killed, 13 platoon commanders were killed in battle, battalion deputy Zhao Dahe was martyred, and battalion commander Yao Changqing was also seriously wounded by the bayonet of the Yue army in the white-knuckle battle of the decisive counterattack.

…………

The night was dark and dead silent.

Compared with the fierce hustle and bustle of the bloody battle between the two armies during the day, Baoshan City at this moment is so quiet that people's hearts are furious, and if you don't find something to do for yourself to divert your attention at this time, even the most determined warriors will inevitably have a psychological shadow.

In the dim lantern, Yue Weihan was unhurriedly processing the dummy bullet.

It is conservatively estimated that the little devils who fell under Yue Weihan's guns have exceeded half of the squad, and at least half of them have been directly reimbursed by being hit in the torso or head, and the remaining half will never return to the battlefield even if they are lucky enough to save their lives.

"Sir, how did you develop your marksmanship? It's so accurate! Can you teach us? ”

"Yes, at a distance of three or four hundred meters, the chief doesn't even take a look, just raise his hand, it's amazing!"

"Yes, the grenadiers of the little devils have been beaten so hard that they don't dare to come forward, this guy is even better than a mortar!"

Seeing that Yue Weihan began to transform the rifle bullet again, the remaining dozen or so soldiers of the guard platoon leaned over one after another, and all looked at Yue Weihan with adoring eyes, Yue Weihan's performance in the past two days is indeed worthy of the worship of these veterans, whether it is white-edged stabbing or long-distance sniping, Yue Weihan makes them admire.

"Want to shoot accurately? It's easy, but not now, I'll teach you when I defeat the little devils. ”

Yue Weihan is not lying to them, some soldiers who are naturally gifted, even if they have not received high-density shooting training, can become excellent snipers, such as Zhang Taofang, a sniper hero who sniped 200 American troops on the Korean battlefield with an ordinary Soviet-style rifle and 400 rounds of ammunition, is a real recruit!

and Yue Weihan himself, who was born a cold-blooded killer.

When he first went to college, he participated in military training, and for the first time in his life, he hit the bull's-eye with ten bullets, and even the instructor at the time was surprised, thinking that he had participated in a small body shooting team, but the fact is that it was the first live shooting in Yue Weihan's life, and things are so evil!

As he was speaking, the shouts of the medics rang out in the headquarters: "The battalion commander is awake, the battalion commander is awake!" ”

Yue Weihan and the veterans of the guard platoon suddenly stood up in an uproar, and all of them showed expressions of surprise on their faces, for a battalion commander who dared to personally lead a death squad to fight with the enemy's white blades, it was difficult for the soldiers to be disrespectful, and soon, the medical soldier came out of the room and said to Yue Weihan: "Sir, please enter the camp." ”

Yue Weihan turned around sharply and entered the inner room, Yao Changqing had indeed woken up, but his face was frighteningly white.

Yao Changqing first returned a bitter smile to Yue Weihan, and then asked in a low voice, "Zhongshu, how is the troops?" ”

"Mood is good." Yue Weihan saluted and replied loudly, "The brothers are determined to follow the example of the camp and swear to fight to the death against Yue Kou!" ”

Yao Changqing nodded, suddenly sighed again, and said with some regret: "Careless, really careless, I underestimated the little Oriental devils, I didn't expect their artillery fire to be so fierce, if I had listened to your advice and included the troops within the city walls, the situation in Baoshan would not have taken a sharp turn ...... down."

Yue Weihan hurriedly said: "The camp, although the outer positions of Baoshan have been lost, the little devils have not left well, and the casualties they have paid are only a lot more than ours......"

"I won't talk about that." Yao Changqing waved his hand weakly and said, "Loyalty, I'm afraid I can't do it, the troops will be handed over to you, as for Baoshan City, if you can keep it, if you can't keep it, you can take the brothers to break through, if you go up to the peak to pursue it, you can say that you are acting on orders, and you have nothing to say if you forgive them." ”

"Camp ......" Yue Weihan only felt that his nose was sour, and he couldn't say half a complete sentence for a while.

didn't say it, Yao Changqing is a real man, and he is a famous soldier, the so-called killing and serving the country with death probably refers to such a soldier, after a long time, Yue Weihan said in a choked tone: "Yingzuo, even if it is a breakthrough, you should lead the brothers to break through!" ”

"No, you're wrong." Yao Changqing shook his head and said in an inexplicable tone, "The military order I received was to hold Baoshan at all costs, and not an inch of land could be given to Yue Kou, so if I lead my troops to break through, it will be to escape from the battle, and if you lead my troops to break through, you are acting on orders, and the surnames of the two are completely different." ”

"Camp!" Yue Weihan said miserably, "Except for you, no one can take the brothers away!" ”

"Soldiers should take obedience to orders as their duty, and I will order the whole battalion to break through, and whoever dares to disobey will be ...... by military law."

Before Yao Changqing's words fell, the voice of Cao Xinglong, the commander of the guard platoon, suddenly sounded outside the door: "Report." ”

Yue Weihan turned his head and responded, "Come in." ”

Cao Xinglong entered in response, saluted the two commanders first, and then said with a strange expression: "The division headquarters has sent a liaison. ”

"Division liaison?" Yao Changqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered that the telephone line buried in the ground had been blown up in the artillery bombardment of the army yesterday, and the battalion-level establishment was basically not equipped with wireless communication equipment, and the division headquarters really had to send liaison officers to contact the battalion-level units, and immediately asked, "What about people?" Where is it? ”

Cao Xinglong said unexpectedly: "It's dead." ”

"Already dead?" Yao Changqing said hurriedly, "What did you say?" ”

"I said two words before I took my last breath." Cao Xinglong said, "It is said that our army's positions on the north bank of Fuzao Shore have all been lost, and our division and friendly troops have all withdrawn to the south bank of Fuzao Shore for fortification. ”

"Huh?" Yao Changqing's face suddenly became more and more pale, "So Baoshan has become a lonely city?" ”

Yue Weihan was more concerned about his own life, and asked urgently: "Did the division headquarters order us to retreat?" ”

Cao Xinglong was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, the liaison officer only said two words and then swallowed." ”

"Niang Xipi!" Yue Weihan couldn't help but curse, and said angrily, "The division headquarters must have given an order for us to retreat, but the liaison officer swallowed his breath before he finished speaking, you think, the entire position on the north bank of Fuzao Shore has been lost, what is the practical point of Baoshan to defend it again?" What do you say? ”

Cao Xinglong said miserably: "Now Baoshan is surrounded by armies, and there are more than 100,000 people in three or five divisions, right?" The brothers had been fighting fiercely for two days, tired and tired, and most of them were wounded, and less than half of them were intact. ”

"Not necessarily." Yue Weihan said coldly, "It's man-made!" ”

"Man-made? It's man-made! Cao Xinglong muttered twice, his originally somewhat gloomy eyes suddenly brightened up, as the saying goes, it is better to die than to live, if you can really get out alive, who wants to stay here and wait for death? Therefore, even if he knew that Yue Weihan was just saying cruel things, Cao Xinglong would subconsciously believe it.

Yao Changqing on the bed suddenly roared: "Yue Weihan! ”

Yue Weihan hurriedly stood up and replied sharply: "Yes." ”

Yao Changqing said in an unquestioning tone: "Now I order you to officially take over the 3rd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division, and lead the brothers to break out of the encirclement at all costs!" If you dare to disobey, you will be shot on the spot! ”

Yue Weihan's heart trembled, he gritted his teeth at the moment, and replied sharply: "Yes!" ”

Seeing that Yue Weihan agreed, Yao Changqing immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had let go of a matter of concern, and then slowly closed his eyes, although they only got along for two days, Yao Changqing still had a considerable understanding of Yue Weihan, although this kid had just graduated from the Central Military Academy for less than two years, but his tactical literacy was indeed extraordinary, especially rare, shooting and hand-to-hand fighting were also super-first-class masters, and he was absolutely relieved to hand over the troops to such a Whampoa officer.

Yue Weihan hurriedly recruited medical soldiers to take care of Yao Changqing, and then turned around with Cao Xinglong and walked out of the headquarters.

After a while, all the officers and soldiers of the battalion except for the rotating sentry gathered in front of Yue Weihan, and Yue Weihan also officially began to exercise the authority of acting battalion commander, first screened the nearly 200 remnants of the battalion, selected 20 people with good machine guns to form a machine gun platoon, 20 people with accurate rifles to form a sniper platoon, and then selected 40 strong and strong people to form a death squad.

The remaining 100 or so people were divided into two groups, one group was digging tunnels under the cellar in the backyard of the headquarters, and the other group was sent to the east gate by Yue Weihan, and began to build camouflage fortifications and concealed fire points in the area he designated, and asked Cao Xinglong to collect all the light and heavy machine guns of the whole battalion, and there were also two Makqin heavy machine guns and six Czech light machine guns that could be used.

Yue Weihan finished assigning the task, but Cao Xinglong was puzzled: "Sir, didn't the camp let us break through?" ”

"Breakout? Break through, of course! Yue Weihan said, "But not now, if you want to break through, you have to be ruthless to the little devil first!" ”

…………

At the same time, Ichiro Hirano, commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 68th Wing of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, who was in charge of attacking Baoshan County, convened a meeting of officers above the rank of junior to sum up and review the gains and losses of the fortified positions in the past two days.

The Wing Commander of the 68th Wing of the 3rd Division, Takashi Takamori, was quite dissatisfied with the progress of the Hirano Brigade.

After two days of fierce fighting, the Hirano Brigade has consumed more than 100,000 rounds of various artillery shells, dispatched nearly 100 bomber sorties, and there are tank detachments to fight together, but it has not been able to take a small county town, and what is even more embarrassing is that the Hirano Brigade itself has also suffered more than 300 casualties.

At the end of the "......" meeting, Ichiro Hirano got up suddenly, and the officers attending the meeting followed Huo Ran to get up.

Ichiro Hirano's fierce gaze swept over the faces of the participating officers one by one, and then said murderously: "Your Excellency Osa has already said that tomorrow is the last chance for our Hirano brigade, and if you still can't take Baoshan before dark tomorrow, you will be ready to seppuku with me to thank the emperor." ”

"Hello." The officers present at the meeting bowed their heads at the same time, and their eyes fiercely promised sharply.
