Chapter 293: Magical Battalion
Commander Cai Tingkai and more than 2,000 soldiers of the 19th Route Army were rushing all the way to the seaside, just now they killed a horse gun and killed the soldiers and horses of a regiment of Wei Lihuang's vanguard who were chasing after him.
Wei Lihuang, who suffered a loss, didn't dare to chase too closely, so he hung twenty miles behind Commander Cai, they wanted to drive Commander Cai to the seaside, and then chase the turtle in an urn, because there was no boat on the beach at this time.
In fact, Commander Cai didn't know that there were not many fishing boats to collect on the coast of Quanzhou at this time, Wei Lihuang knew the military affairs very well, since he had fought his own ambush outside Quanzhou City, he must have thought about blocking the coastal coastline.
Not to mention that Wei Lihuang is likely to have seized all the boats on the coast of Quanzhou, even if he is lucky enough to requisition a few fishing boats, how many of his nearly 5,000 brothers can escape?
At this time, halfway up the hill leading to the sea, about a battalion of troops was digging trenches and filling in the earth to build ring fortifications.
It's arguing.
"Battalion commander, you take your brothers and sisters to withdraw first, the terrain here is dangerous, we have enough firepower, to deal with these baby soldiers who have never fought a vicious battle, there is enough people in one of our companies, you can let our company stay alone to block the pursuers." A company commander who looked like a tiger against a machine gun said loudly.
"Jin San Fat Man! Do you want to be disobedient? Our battalion was called the Magical Company in the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, and now I am the battalion commander of the Magical Battalion, and your kid is also the commander of the machine gun company.
Commander Chiang and his troops are looking for a boat on the beach, and as long as we find a boat, we can all flee to Hong Kong, and we will be safe when we get to Hong Kong.
I was given the order to hold back the enemy for a minimum of twenty-four hours, followed by Wei Lihuang's 14th Army of the Central Army and a group of old brothers who had just been incorporated into us.
Don't look at Wei Lihuang's strong soldiers, but when it comes to fighting, our 19th Route Army has never been afraid of anyone. Think that when Lao Tzu was still the commander of a company, the Japanese were bombarded with planes overhead, tanks under their feet, and hundreds of Japanese artillery and machine guns greeted Lao Tzu on his head, was Lao Tzu afraid? Are we scared of the battalion? Battalion Commander Liu Aiguo shouted.
"Nope!" The soldiers of the battalion digging trenches on the side responded loudly.
"What? There are so many Japanese devils, and the planes and cannons are not afraid, can they be afraid of the 14th Army, which is just a few more broken guns? Battalion Commander Liu Aiguo asked loudly again.
"Can't!" The fighters of the first battalion replied even louder.
"Okay, everyone listen to my orders, our magical battalion specializes in big things that others can't do, and specializes in fighting tough battles that others can't fight, and now there are 20,000 mad dogs coming from the opposite side, what do you say we should do?" Battalion Commander Liu asked loudly again.
"Kill them all!" The fighters stopped digging trenches and together raised their shovels in their hands and responded loudly.
"Okay, this is the soldier of my magical first company, this is the soldier of our magical battalion, listen to this and refresh your mind, then what do you need, dig me a good fortification.
Lao Tzu wants to let the ace troops of the National Army see what a real ace army is. Camp Commander Liu shouted.
"Jin San Fat Man, from now on, all the heavy firepower of the whole camp will belong to you, you fucking show me the right fight, if you don't beat Wei Lihuang to cry Daddy, you won't be Jin San Fat Man." Battalion Commander Liu gave the order again.
Seeing that the old company commander was determined to coexist and die with the position, Jin Sanpang Company Commander didn't count it as fighting with Battalion Commander Liu, anyway, everyone didn't want to be born in the same year and month, and if they could die in the same year and month, it would not be in vain to be brothers.
I saw him pull out the war shovel on his waist and shout loudly: "Don't worry, battalion commander, as long as I have half a breath of energy, I promise not to let these recruits of the 14th Army step on our defense line." ”
Battalion Commander Liu Aiguo looked at Jin Sanpang, the first company commander, the second company commander, the third company commander and hundreds of high-spirited soldiers in front of him one by one, and shouted: "Win a hundred battles!" ”
The whole battalion of soldiers immediately responded: "Magical battalion." ”
Commander Cai, who had just repelled the pursuit of Wei Lihuang's vanguard, was retreating towards the sea with part of the men and horses of the Ou Shounian Division, and when they passed by the defense line of the Magical First Battalion, Liu Aiguo, the commander of the Magical First Battalion, immediately stood up and saluted him.
Looking at the magical series of those years, his heart was full of feelings. This company is really amazing, the three platoon commanders of the year are now company commanders, and even the machine gunner named Jin Sanpang has become the company commander of the machine gun company.
In their 19th Route Army, the Magical First Battalion was the only one with a machine gun company, and now seeing that they were going to hold this place for a day and a night with the strength of a battalion, Commander Cai felt that the burden on them was too heavy.
Wei Lihuang's troops are definitely the strongest combat units in the National Army, not to mention whether their battalion can withstand the attack of more than 20,000 people of the 14th Army, even if their battalion is lucky enough to escape this catastrophe, I don't know how many brothers this magical battalion can survive at that time.
These people are all veterans of a hundred battles and heroic veterans who have fought bloody battles with the Japanese army, he is really reluctant to give up this battalion, but the entire 19th Route Army, cadres above the battalion level all ran to Wei Lihuang.
He and Commander Chiang only collected 5,000 veterans who were bent on resisting Japan, and only they were the only ones who had a full battalion of company officers and soldiers who were all thrown into themselves.
Look at the division commander of Ou Shounian behind him, their division was brought out by him with a total of less than 2,000 people, but the highest position was only a company commander, not even a battalion commander.
But if you look at the magical battalion, from the soldiers to the battalion commander, all of them are high-spirited, and they deserve to be the magical battalion, but if they can return safely this time, I will definitely reuse them.
Battalion Commander Liu Aiguo saw the disgraced look on the face of the district division commander, and asked with concern: "District division commander, has our team suffered a lot of losses?" Why are you all crying? ”
Ou Shounian smiled bitterly: "Don't call me the division commander, all the generals under me have run away, now I only bring more than a thousand soldiers, and the biggest officer is only a company commander, I am now a regiment commander at most, it would be good to be one level older than you." ”
"District commander, you are too good at laughing, you are the teacher of our 19th Route Army, even if you don't have a soldier, in our hearts you are still our division commander.
And I think it's better if there are fewer people, and those who can stay now are our brothers who sincerely resist Japan. Rest assured! When we get to Hong Kong, let's fight our way out.
At that time, Commander Jiang will be the commander-in-chief, and Commander Cai will be the deputy commander-in-chief, and you may become the commander of the 19th Army, and I will also become the commander of the Magical First Division. ”
Liu Aiguo seems to be born to lead troops to fight, and a few words brought Commander Cai's frustration to life.
The division commander of Ou Shounian on the side also made the nervous battalion commander Liu Aiguo laugh, and the original gloomy mood was also a lot more sunny.
He looked at the small shovels held in the hands of the soldiers of the first battalion, and wondered, why did their division not have such shovels? It looks small, but it's so fast to dig a trench.
It only took a long time to dig the trench to a depth of one meter, and at this speed, maybe their battalion could really stop Wei Lihuang for a day and a night.
Battalion Commander Liu saw that the district division commander seemed to be very interested in his soldiers' combat shovels, so he took out his combat shovels and handed them to the district division commander and Cai Jun Commander to watch:
"This is last year's Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, we got the title of a novelty company, Huaxing company specially built for us a magical company of war shovels, all made of steel, with 18 functions.
It can be used as a shovel or a knife as an axe, a machete when fighting, and a bullet can be blocked by tying it to the chest when attacking, which is what Li Tie of Huaxing Company personally told us.
Later, we were upgraded to the Magic Battalion, and when we were transferred out of Shanghai, he ordered someone to give each of us a handful, but their combat spade was only the symbol of the Magic Battalion, and you can see that this shovel is easy to use. ”
After Battalion Commander Liu finished speaking, he cut off a small tree beside him with a spade.
At this time, Commander Cai also came back to his senses: "I said that every time I go to your camp, your battalion says that this spade is worthless, and you are afraid of Lu Bao, so let us rob it, right?" ”
Looking at the embarrassing expression of Battalion Commander Liu Aiguo's careful thinking, Commander Cai was not embarrassed for him: "Use this shovel well." Turning to the thousands of soldiers behind him, he said:
"All the brothers with machine guns and good marksmanship will stay with 200 more and serve as a reserve for Battalion Commander Liu. All the other grenades were left for me, and we didn't need them. Commander Cai said meaningfully.
Then the district division commander helped Commander Cai all the way over the hillside and walked towards the sea.
Looking at Commander Cai's disappearing figures, Wang Dong, the commander of the first company, came to the battalion commander: "Battalion commander, I heard from the district commander that Wei Lihuang's baby soldiers are twenty miles behind them, and they can reach us after walking for an hour, should we send them a few surprises first?" ”
"Wang Dong, you kid has a lot of ghost eyes, so do you still need to ask? The army has passed, you go and send a few melons to the pursuers to taste. "Battalion Commander Liu is ruthless.
"Great! The brothers of the engineer platoon will come with me, and we will go and bury the melons. Wang Dong happily took dozens of soldiers to the road where they came, and buried the melons they said.
Seeing that Wang Dong went to bury the melon, Wang Zehui, the commander of the second company, said jealously: "This dead Wang Dong, every time he talks fast, before I can speak, he snatches the task away, it's really angry." ”
Wang Chengjun, the commander of the third company on the side, said to him while digging a trench: "Wang Laoer, don't stop the ink, work quickly, don't think that you can be lazy by talking, don't you see that the battalion commanders are digging there?" ”
"Who is lazy, I'm thinking about countermeasures, you say that if Wei Lihuang's 14th Army is blown up by Boss Wang, how will they react?" Wang Zehui, the commander of the second company, asked with a grin.
"Isn't that nonsense? Before the fight started, I ate a stuffy stick from someone first, if I would have been in a hurry. Jin Sanpang said loudly while digging the trenches.
"Right! We should take advantage of the fact that they were beaten first, and we must be anxious to take revenge, and then hit them with a mace, and it is estimated that we will be able to sleep peacefully today. Wang Zehui's eyes were shining.
"Oh, let's hear it!" Several company commanders suddenly found that at some point, battalion commander Liu Aiguo had stood beside everyone.
