Chapter Five: The Battle of the Xiangjiang River (3)
At this time, the position of the Red Tenth Regiment was in a precarious situation. Originally, after a day's hard work yesterday, the Red Tenth Regiment had lost more than half, although the victory of the Red Eighth Company last night had brought great confidence to the whole regiment, and there were still a lot of supplies. But at this time, the Gui army also went crazy, and when Qin Lianfang, the commander of the 24th Division of the Gui Army, was saddening one of his elite main regiments, the Red Tenth Regiment on the position suffered.
As soon as the day dawned, the Gui army began to attack, first of all, it was shelling, in order to retaliate for last night's losses, Tan Lianfang almost finished half of the shells brought by his artillery company. It took an hour of artillery bombardment before the attack began. At this time, the position of the Red Tenth Regiment was like being turned over. Although there was cover from anti-artillery holes, dozens of people were sacrificed. But the positions were bombarded, and all the trenches were almost razed to the ground.
When the soldiers rushed to the front of the position, they were all stunned, and the regiment commander Shen Shuqing hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Fortify the fortifications! Only then did the warriors react and began to repair the fortifications.
However, it was already too late, and the enemy was almost at hand. This time, only two companies attacked. The regiment commander hurriedly ordered: "Prepare for battle." ”
In this way, in the fortifications without trenches, the fighters repelled one enemy attack after another. But his own losses are just as huge. Originally, there were more than 800 people, but after half a day of fighting, now there are only more than 400 people left.
Liu Hua was at the rear of the position, anxiously waiting, and his comrades all looked at him, walking around from time to time, looking at the position in the distance.
Suddenly, there was a loud roar.
"It seems that the enemy has begun shelling again!" Lao Sun, who was standing next to him, reminded.
"I know, and I don't know what happened to the head of the regiment," Liu Hua replied.
But as soon as the cannon fire stopped, a shout of killing was heard. "That's not right! Could it be that the regiment commander they have no ammunition. Liu Hua thought. made Liu Hua guess, but the regiment commander had no ammunition. and sent a correspondent to let Liu Hua go to the position.
But he didn't expect that the correspondent was wounded by a shell and was crawling towards this side step by step.
It occurred to me that the head of the regiment could be in danger. Liu Hua immediately ordered the whole company to run towards the position.
As soon as he ran a few hundred meters, he saw the communicator covered in blood, and Liu Hua hurriedly picked him up.
"Hurry" was said, and the communicator died.
Liu Hua put down the body of the communicator, quickened his pace, and ran towards the position. Shouting as he ran: "All companies in battle formation, hurry, keep up"
Soon, the position was seen, and at this time the two sides were already intertwined, and they could not give full play to the advantage of firepower. Liu Hua hurriedly ordered.
"The whole company is ready to fight bayonets, the sniper squad takes care of the machine gunner officer, the main and deputy squad leaders use pistols and submachine guns, and the whole company rushes with me."
After saying that, the first one rushed towards the position.
At this time, the Red Eighth Company, like a sharp sword, rushed towards the enemy, cutting off the enemy, and the firepower squad immediately arranged positions along the route of the charge. Cut off the enemy's follow-up troops, and at this time the melee advantage of the Red Eighth Company was brought into play, submachine guns, shell guns, and guns when they saw the enemy. The fighters fought in groups of three, covering each other.
At this time, Liu Hua suddenly saw that the regiment commander was surrounded by more than a dozen enemies, and there were only two guards around him to cover him.
He shouted loudly: "Xiaolong, take a class, follow me to save the regiment leader." The others, led by Lao Sun, continued to attack. ”
The little dragon shouted; "Yes, the first class will rush with me."
And Lao Sun was stunned for a moment, because he was a person who made mistakes at this time, and the company commander asked him to command a company, as a former commander, Lao Sun immediately reacted. The order: "The second platoon will attack to the left, the third platoon will attack to the right, and the others will continue to rush with me." ”
Since it was the order of the company commander Liu Hua, the soldiers executed it very quickly, and immediately began to execute it according to Lao Sun's order.
Liu Hua led a squad of fighters. Rushing left and right, he finally approached the regiment commander. At this time, the two guards beside the regiment commander had already sacrificed and were struggling to support themselves.
Liu Hua roared; "A class rush with me, kill" desperately rushed to the side of the regiment commander. Finally arrived, but here it was, a bayonet suddenly plunged into the stomach of the regimental commander. It happened that this scene was seen by Liu Hua.
"Ahh He blocked left and right, and soon, with the help of Xiaolong, he eliminated the enemy around the regiment commander.
He hugged the regiment commander and shouted loudly with tears: "Regiment commander, we have won, the enemy has retreated, you have to persevere, hold on!" Captain of the regiment"
Leader, Shen Shuqing opened his eyes, saw that it was Liu Hua, smiled quietly, opened his mouth with difficulty, and said softly: "The Red Tenth Regiment relies on you, you are now the acting head of the regiment|" After speaking, he closed his eyes, so peaceful.
At this time, Mr. Peng, who had been observing the battlefield at the corps headquarters, found a strangeness in the position of the Red Tenth Regiment. Hurry up and call to ask about the situation.
"Hey, is it Shen Shuqing? How's the position now? Mr. Peng asked anxiously.
But the other party did not speak and remained silent.
At this time, Mr. Peng was a little annoyed, and shouted loudly: "I'm Peng Dehuai, ask Shen Shuqing to answer the phone, quickly"
Liu Hua held back his tears and said softly: "Report to the corps commander, our regiment commander has sacrificed, the position is still in our hands, and we can defend it." ”
I saw that Mr. Peng was silent for a while, and said, who is responsible for your group now, call him over.
Liu Hua paused for a moment and replied loudly: "Report to the corps commander, the regiment commander appointed me as the acting head of the regiment before the sacrifice, and I am Liu Hua." ”
"Liu Hua, Liu Hua, you used to be the commander of the Red Eighth Company, right? Okay, I will now appoint you as the head of the Red Tenth Regiment, and the chief of staff will bring the letter of appointment. I command you, you must hold your ground. After speaking, without waiting for Liu Hua to answer, he hung up the phone.
At this time, Tan Lianfang, the commander of the Gui Army, looked at the casualty report, and also fell into contemplation, thinking that he could take the position in one fell swoop just now, but suddenly killed a group of people, the number of people was not very large, and he thought it was no big deal. I didn't know that those people were so powerful, rampage through the position, and watched their troops be divided and wiped out by them little by little, but they couldn't do anything.
It's only been two days, and I have lost two regiments, and I only have two regiments left, what should I do! He thought to himself. Offensive? It's definitely not going to work now, the confidant has just been defeated, and the morale is too low, so it seems that I have to take a break first.
After thinking about it, an order was given, the troops rested, remained alert, and replenished ammunition.
