Chapter 10: The Battle of Chenghuanyi Breaks Out
Early the next morning, that is, on the morning of July 27, Ren Chao and others were taken to the Niusheri position and arranged at the forefront of the position.
"That's right! Right! Right here, rack the machine gun here! Ren Chao pointed to the open area in front of him and said with a smile, "You see that the front has a wide field of vision, there is no obstruction, as long as the machine gun is put here, as long as the little devil dares to come, Lao Tzu will reimburse him for a large piece of shooting." ”
"Good tone! With just one of your guns, these few people can beat a few pirates! As soon as Ren Chao's voice fell, a yin and yang strange voice came from his face.
Ren Chao looked back and saw that it was none other than Li Cheng, the battalion officer responsible for defending the position in Niusheri, in this era when the official was crushing people to death, Ren Chao didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and immediately bowed and said, "See Lord Li!" ”
"Humph!" Li Cheng glanced at Ren Chao, turned his head to Zheng Gang beside Ren Chao and said, "Zheng Gang, although you are Lord Nie's personal soldier, you must also obey my command here!" ”
"Mark it and get it!" Zheng Gang bent down and said respectfully.
"It's good to understand! I'm just reminding you that you won't get into trouble if you start a war. After Li Cheng finished speaking, he left with a few personal soldiers.
"Phew! What is it! The ability is not big, but the shelf is not small! Zheng Gang spat at Li Cheng's back and said unceremoniously.
Ren Chao smiled, "Why should Brother Zheng be as knowledgeable as this kind of person." Ren Chao knew that this Zheng Gang was sent by Nie Shicheng to spy on him, so he was very polite to Zheng Gang.
"When this battle is over, I will tell Lord Nie to transfer you to his personal barracks of Lord Nie, so as not to be angry with him here." Zheng Gang patted Ren Chao on the shoulder and said, after getting along for a period of time, Zheng Gang felt that Ren Chao was a man, so he was a lot less wary of Ren Chao.
At 4 o'clock in the morning of July 28, the Japanese army set out from Zhenwei, passed through Qiyuan, and arrived at Sushachang, which was 7 kilometers away from Chenghuanyi. At about 5 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army captured Jialongli; At around 6:30 a.m., the battle reached a fever pitch.
Under the cover of artillery, a Japanese brigade stormed the position of Niucheri, and in just over an hour, the Japanese launched several attacks, all of which were repulsed by our defenders. But the Japanese did not give up, and the attack became more and more fierce each time, and the battle became more and more intense.
"Beat me hard!" Ren Chao shouted loudly. "Da Da Da!" The machine gun spewed out tongues of fire again, tearing the little devils who rushed up into pieces of minced meat. At this time, no less than hundreds of corpses of little devils had fallen in front of Ren Chao's position, and soon the little devils' attack was repulsed again.
"Well done! Well done! Ren Chao and Zheng Gang high-fived each other.
"Brother Gang! Oh no! Look over there! At this time, a pro-soldier suddenly pointed to the left flank position and shouted, "The left flank position has been broken through, and Master Li has run away with people!" ”
Ren Chao and Zheng Gang looked back, and saw that on the position on the left flank, the little devils in black military uniforms rushed to the position of the Qing army like a tide, and the Qing army there had long since disappeared.
"Master Li has run away! Let's run! ”
"Brothers, withdraw quickly! If you stay here, you're waiting for death! ”
When the officers and soldiers on Ren Chao's position saw this, they immediately rioted. Zheng Gang was also a little flustered for a while, "Brother Ren, what should we do?" "In the battle just now, Ren Chao commanded several of his subordinates and killed at least seventy or eighty little devils, if Ren Chao was a spy, how could he slaughter little devils so unscrupulously? After this battle, Zheng Gang's suspicion of Ren Chao has disappeared cleanly, and now when he encounters such a situation, he takes the initiative to ask Ren Chao's opinion.
"What should I do?" Ren Chao glared and said, "Brother Zheng, let me ask you, what is the military order that Nie Junmen gave us?" Defending Niu Xieli, now without Nie Junmen's order, retreating without permission is to escape! ”
"Yes!" Zheng Gang nodded and said, "Brother Ren is right!" As soon as Zheng finished speaking, many Qing soldiers on the position had already rushed out of the trenches and ran towards the rear. These people are all Li Cheng's subordinates, and now that Li Cheng has run away, these soldiers naturally don't have the courage to fight.
"Stop them! If they're all gone! We can't hold the position with just a dozen of us! Ren Chao hurriedly reminded.
"How to stop! The defeat is like a mountain! Zheng Gang said helplessly.
Seeing Zheng Gang's overwhelmed appearance, Ren Chao secretly shook his head, took Zheng Gang's hand and left, "Big Niu, stay in the position, give the machine gun to Lao Tzu, and the others will come with me!" More than a dozen of Ren Chao and Zheng Gang's subordinates rushed out with the two.
"Catch up and stop them!" Ren Chao and Zheng Gang took more than a dozen subordinates and chased them out for a full mile, and finally stopped the dozens of people who escaped, but the others had already run away.
"Stop for Lao Tzu, no one is allowed to run!" Ren Chao shouted loudly.
"What the fuck are you! Dare to block Lao Tzu's way, are you impatient? At this time, a sentry captain ran up and pointed at Ren Chao's nose and scolded loudly.
"Without Nie Junmen's order, retreating without permission is to escape from the battle, Nie Junmen has an order, and anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed!" Ren shouted awe-inspiringly.
"Don't fucking bluff Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu is Lord Li's soldiers, Lord Li has withdrawn, is Lao Tzu still here waiting to die? You two are just little chiefs, and you dare to stop Lao Tzu, hurry up and get out of the way for me, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite! The sentry commander scolded menacingly.
Ren Chao's momentum was obviously stagnant, and he snorted coldly, "If you don't listen to our kind words and persuasions, Nie Junmen will have to march in the future, don't blame us for not reminding you." ”
"Hahaha!" The sentry commander saw that Ren Chao's momentum had obviously weakened, and he was even more fearless, "As the saying goes, the law doesn't blame the public, and now that the fucking escape, it will be difficult for Nie Junmen to kill us all!" It's a pity that my brother saw that you died like this at a young age. Sell you a good guy today and come with us! Why die here for nothing! ”
"You're leaving, get out of here! Lao Tzu doesn't leave, Lao Tzu wants to stay here to kill the devil and avenge the dead brothers! Ren Chao snorted coldly and said.
"Good brother! If you have a backbone, can't you lose your head, isn't it just a big scar in the bowl? Brother will accompany you to fight with the little devils today! Zheng Gang patted Ren Chao's shoulder and laughed.
"Humph! If you want to die, don't you accompany me, brothers, let's go! The sentry officer waved his hand and wanted to leave, but just when he walked to Ren Chao's side, a white light suddenly flashed, "Ah! The sentinel screamed, his eyes suddenly widened, and he slowly fell down with unwillingness.
