Chapter 10: Fighting the Xiangjiang River Again (1)
Finally repelled the enemy's attack and kept the position he had just recaptured, Yang Chengwu thrust his knife into the ground with a "click" and spat fiercely. Without thinking, his mouth was dry, and he only spit out a little mud and sand, and then he remembered that he hadn't drunk water for a night, and the fierce battle made him forget his thirst and fatigue. After the enemy retreated, he felt as if his whole body was falling apart, and the wound on his left abdomen was painful. The wound on the left side of the abdomen was stabbed by an enemy during the previous round of retaking position, but fortunately the wound was not deep, and he continued to fight after bandaging.
Due to the constant struggle with the enemy, the wound continued to bleed, causing him to lose too much blood, and now he is very weak. He "gurgling" drank two sips of water, and insisted on inspecting the troops, this regiment commander who was only 21 years old, one year younger than Liu Hua, really deserved to be the youngest and most courageous main regiment commander in the Red Army!
After this battle, more than a hundred soldiers were sacrificed, what a good warrior! His youthful face was even more grim, for his Red Fourth Regiment was less than six hundred wounded. In fact, almost everyone is injured, except for those who are seriously injured and unable to move, everyone is injured and insists on fighting, just like him, if he is someone else, he is so seriously injured, he has long been lying down.
He instructed the soldiers to quickly collect their weapons and ammunition, and returned to their positions to continue to wait.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the enemy opened fire again, and one of the shells happened to fall on the trench in front of him, and the earth kicked up by the explosion buried him tightly, and he faintly heard an exclamation: "Not good, the regimental commander is buried" and fainted. By the time the warriors had dug him out of the dirt, the enemy infantry had attacked again.
Yang Chengwu shook his head, which had finally come to his senses, and gave an order: "Hit, hit me hard." "Pick up a rifle and shoot, hundreds of guns fire at once, only to see the enemy fall one after the other, and then fall one by one. Perhaps it was the enemy's bullets that were picked up that were more considerate to the enemy, almost like guns biting flesh, and the screams were continuous. Although the Hunan army was brave, it was finally beaten down by this ferocious firepower and could not move forward.
Seeing this, Yang Chengwu was about to give the order to attack, but was held down by Geng Biao, who rushed over, and said to him: "Regiment commander, the regiment order, withdraw." ”
"Withdraw? Why? Yang Chengwu asked in disbelief.
"I don't know, this is an order from the legion, withdraw immediately."
It is a soldier's duty to obey orders, Yang Chengwu glared fiercely at the enemy who was pressed in front of the position, and ordered unwillingly: "After a series of breaks, retreat." ”
The soldiers of the Hunan Army, who were crushed to the ground by the Red Army's firepower, suddenly found that the Red Army's firepower had weakened, and after a while it stopped completely. The Hunan army was worried that the Red Army was playing some tricks, so they did not dare to rush into the attack, and under the cautious command of the officer leading the team, they cautiously pursued it. Seeing that the Red Army was still silent only 50 meters from the trenches, some soldiers were bold and slowly accelerated the pace of their advance. When they got very close to the trenches, they rushed forward with a "hula", but unfortunately, there was no longer half a living figure on the Red Army position.
Zhang Liangji, commander of the 16th Hunan Division, who was supervising the formation in the rear, hurried to the position of the Red Army, only to see corpses all over the ground, both those of the Red Army and the Hunan Army itself. He picked up the rifle of a fallen Red Army soldier, pulled the bolt, and it was empty. He was immediately overjoyed, convinced that the Red Army had been defeated, that it should have been forced to retreat without ammunition, and that it had retreated in such a hurry that he had not even had time to collect the corpses of his comrades, which was rare for the Red Army.
Zhang Liangji, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, immediately made a decision and immediately ordered his 16th Division to pursue with all his might, and at the same time sent someone to report to Commander-in-Chief Li Jue.
As a result, the enemy's 16th Division chased after the back of the Red Fourth Regiment and rushed to the direction of the head of the boundary. They never dreamed that they were running towards a death trap.
The purpose of fighting a war is to win the war. There are two purposes to be followed in fighting a war: one is to preserve oneself to the greatest extent; The second is to kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent.
Liu Hua led his Red Tenth Regiment to lurk not far from the Yellow Emperor Gang, in a low pine forest on the side of the road. Due to the continuous march and battle, and now the rapid march has been more than 20 miles, the soldiers are very tired, regardless of the bursts of gunfire and shouts of killing in front of them, they all seize the time to rest for a while after hiding.
Now at the beginning, several people in Liu Hua's class have been promoted due to the large number of prisoners. Liu Xiaogang, who made meritorious contributions in Xing'an, was changed to the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon, and because Liu Hua of the reconnaissance platoon planned to train into special forces for future generations, the number was not very large, only 24 people, and they were all old Red Army.
Bruce Lee was the commander of the guard platoon.
Now the cadres and fighters of the Red Tenth Regiment have thrown themselves to the ground for the five bodies that their regiment commander admires, and through the victory of these two days, everyone wants to make meritorious service again.
Bruce Lee next to him asked: "Commander, why don't we go behind the enemy and have another butt flower!" ”
When Liu Hua heard Xiaolong's words, he hurriedly said: "You kid wants to die, that's tens of thousands of people, we can't move the enemy when we go to the back, maybe the enemy will eat us." In fighting a war, we must be flexible and not rigid and rigid. ”
After hearing this, Xiaolong stuck out his tongue at Liu Hua and stared at the road that was close at hand.
Soon, the Red First Army came over, looking at them mixing with each other and carrying the wounded, Liu Hua was annoyed for a while, it was all Li De's fault, Liu Hua thought secretly.
Ten minutes after the first corps passed, the 16th Hunan Division chased after it. I saw the Hunan army lined up in two columns, running neatly and chasing after me. Zhang Liangji walked at the back of the team, constantly urging loudly: "Hurry, hurry, catch up, don't let the communist army run away, let alone let the communist army have time to breathe." "Hurry up, there is a reward for catching a communist soldier, and there is a great reward for catching a communist army cadre." ”
Hearing that the commander said that there was a reward, for the sake of the reward, the soldiers of the Hunan army ran more energetically, and encouraged each other while running: "Brothers, run quickly, earn a lot of money and go to the restaurant." "It's better to catch a big official, then you will have money to marry a daughter-in-law." "If it were me, I'd rather go back to my hometown and buy a piece of land." ”……
The 16th Hunan Division passed quickly. Liu Hua secretly calculated and found that the losses of the enemy's 16th Division were not light, and there were probably about two regiments, which should be able to bite it.
It turned out that after seizing a large amount of supplies, the Military Commission thought of using the Red 10th Regiment and the 11th Regiment to ambush the enemy. And just in front, where the entire Red Eleventh Regiment was ambushed, as well as captured mortar heavy machine guns, which were already higher in firepower than the Sixteenth Division. So Liu Hua sighed with emotion.
Just 20 minutes after the 16th Hunan Division passed, Li Jue led his 19th Division Ye Shanshan to arrive, followed by the remnants of the 17th and 18th Divisions.
Perhaps they thought that there was a 16th Division in front, and the 19th Division avant-garde regiment was walking slowly in a neat queue. They didn't know that they had gone under Liu Hua's gun.
