Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 176

The Qingyang Independent Regiment launched a fierce attack on the entire Tangyunshan Division, but did not advance with all its might.

Because the task of the Qingyang Independent Regiment is not to break through, but to attract the attention of the main forces of the First Army and create opportunities for the main forces of the New Fourth Army to break through.

Therefore, every time he saw that he could break through the defense line of the 1st Division, Liang Daring had to stop, and after the 1st Division regained its position, he continued to launch another wave of attacks.

Time passed little by little, and Zhan Zhongyan's 40th Division and Zhang Wenqing's 79th Division arrived one after another.

Suddenly, the pressure on the Qingyang Independent Regiment increased suddenly, and Liang Daring knew that the main force of the First Group Army had been attracted by the Qingyang Independent Regiment, and the task assigned by the superiors had been completed, and now, it was time to fight for the Qingyang Independent Regiment itself.

Hearing the sound of gunfire on the east side of Maolin, Liang Daring knew that the main force of the New Fourth Army had launched an attack on Tao Guang's P Army, and when he called more than 100 commandos to him, he said loudly: "Brothers, the chief and the brother troops have broken through, our task has been completed, and now it is time for the Kuomintang reactionaries to see the true ability of our Qingyang Independent Regiment."

The faces of more than a hundred commandos instantly showed a look of beastly rage.

As soon as the "machine gun" Liang boldly stretched out his hand, the guard Yao Changzi handed over the crooked handle he was holding.

Liang boldly took the machine gun, turned around and rushed forward, shouting as he rushed: "Brothers, rush with Lao Tzu"

Just now, because they were worried that Tang Yunshan's division would be defeated too quickly, the commando team had not been fully firepowered, and now that the main force of the New Fourth Army had broken through, the commando team no longer had any scruples, and more than 40 light machine guns were instantly fired, and the bullets swept over like splashing water.

The eight mortars of the artillery company of the Qingyang Independent Regiment also fired all the shells in the shortest possible time.

In an instant, the temporary defensive position of the 1st Division was turned into a sea of fire, and in the light of the explosion, the officers and men of the 1st Division were blown up, fled in all directions, and then fell to the ground one by one under the dense machine-gun fire of the assault team.

Although the firepower of the first division was not as fast and dense as that of the assault team, there were still dozens of light and heavy machine guns, and under the intensive strafing of dozens of light and heavy machine guns, the commando team soon suffered casualties, and in just a moment's effort, more than 40 machine gunners who rushed to the front were all killed

In order to block the bullets for Liang Daring, the guard Yao Changzi and two other veterans were beaten into a sieve.

However, the huge casualties did not deter the commandos, after the first group of members died, the second group of members immediately took over, took the machine guns from the hands of their fallen comrades, continued to pour dense machine gun fire on the positions of the first division, and after breaking into 50 meters, the third group of commandos crossed the second group with bayonets, first threw a row of grenades, and then broke into the position of the Kuomintang army.

"Rush, brothers, rush with Lao Tzu" Liang boldly held the crooked light machine gun, stopped to shoot a long shot, and then rushed forward.

However, after only two steps forward, he felt a pain in his chest, and immediately fell to the ground with a weakness under his feet, Liang Daring endured the pain, unbuttoned the top button of the cotton coat, and then reached in to touch it, wet, Liang Daring's face was immediately miserable, and he ate the gun, but he didn't know if he hit the vital point, but with the current situation, he didn't hit the vital point, and it was estimated that it was enough.

At this moment, the assault team had already broken through the defense line of the first division, and Wang Laohu also pressed up with the L battalion.

Seeing Liang Daring standing there without moving, Wang Laohu asked, "Commander, what's wrong with you?" Hung the lottery?

Liang boldly waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, Lao Tzu is just a little tired, take a breath."

After speaking, Liang Daring asked Wang Laohu to quickly lead the L battalion to press up along the opening torn by the assault, and continue to expand the gaps in the defense line of the first division on both sides to cover the follow-up troops to break through smoothly.

Soon, Shu Tongwen also appeared in the gap under Wang Xiaomao's "protection".

Wang Xiaomao strictly implemented Liang Dada's order, and he was inseparable from Shu Tongwen.

"Old Liang?" Seeing Liang Daring, Shu Tongwen hurriedly caught up and asked loudly, "How is the situation?"

"The defense line of the 1st Division has been broken." Liang Daring took a breath, and then continued, "But the matter is not over, Shangguan Yunxiang and Zhang Wenqing will definitely not give up, they will definitely mobilize heavy troops to encircle and chase and intercept, if we want to return to Yunling smoothly and break through from Qingyang, I am afraid that we will still have to be busy, ouch, hiss......"

Before he finished speaking, Liang Daring groaned.

Although the gunshots were boiling, Shu Tongwen's ears were extremely sharp, and he actually heard it clearly, and immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Lao Liang, are you injured?" ”

"No, no." Liang boldly waved his hand and lied with a bitter face, "I ran a little faster just now and broke my foot, ouch." ”

Shu Tongwen hurriedly turned his head and instructed Wang Xiaomao: "Xiaomao, the head of the regiment has broken his foot, you hurry up and help him."

"Commissar, I have to protect you." Wang Xiaomao shook his head stubbornly, "This is the order of the regiment commander."

"You stunned, the head of the regiment is broken, and the head of the regiment needs your protection." Shu Tongwen was very angry.

Wang Xiaomao looked at Shu Tongwen, and then at Liang Daring, and felt that Liang Daring needed protection more, so he immediately stepped forward and hugged Liang Daring.

(Dividing Line)

Knowing that the defense line of the 1st Division had been broken through by the New Fourth Army, Shangguan Yunxiang was suddenly furious.

"Waste, a group of wastes has been less than half an hour, and a main division has made the family collapse, shame, shame, shame" Shangguan Yunxiang grabbed the map on the table and crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground, still angry, and slammed the corner ruler on the ground again, and then continued to scold, "Tang Yunshan, this waste, I want to remove him, I want to shoot him, I will shoot him"

"Commander-in-Chief, you discourage." The chief of staff stepped forward and persuaded, "Although the defense line of the first division has broken through, the situation has not lost control, as long as Zhang Wenqing's 79th Division and Zhan Zhongyan's 40th Division can detour back to the front in time and re-block the opening, the main force of the New Fourth Army will still not be able to escape, and Zuihou will still fall into our encirclement." ”

"Yes, yes, give Zhang Wenqing an order immediately." Shangguan Yun woke up like a dream, and said in a loud voice, "Let him re-plug the mouth at all costs, and don't let go of the New Fourth Army no matter what, if he lets go of the New Fourth Army, he won't be able to spare Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu won't be able to spare him Zhang Wenqing, hurry up, send a communication soldier to Zhang Wenqing to give an order, quickly." ”

The chief of staff did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly called a communications staff officer and asked him to find Zhang Wenqing.

Shangguan Yunxiang calmed down a little and asked again, "Chief of Staff, what happened to the gunfire in the east just now?"

The chief of staff sighed and said: "It is another New Fourth Army, the specific number is not yet known, but its firepower is far from enough to compare with the New Fourth Army attacking the western flank. ”

Shangguan Yunxiang nodded, and then asked: "On the east side of Maolin is the defense line of Tao Guang's P Army, has Tao Guang reported the situation?" ”

The chief of staff said: "Commander-in-chief, so far, I have not received any report from Tao Guang, but, judging from the sound of gunfire, it seems that the P Army has also engaged in fire with the New Fourth Army's partial division." ”

Before the words fell, a communications staff officer hurriedly came in and reported: "Commander-in-chief, the P Army has just reported that the 1st Division has been severely damaged, and the New Fourth Army has broken through in the direction of the bee hole. ”

"What? This Tao Guang" Shangguan Yunxiang was so angry that he overturned the table.

Shangguan Yunxiang endured Tao Guang for a long time, Tao Guang since he retreated to western Zhejiang, has been with the New Fourth Army eyebrows, at the beginning of last year, Chairman Jiang had the idea of solving the New Fourth Army, Gu Zhutong also made some arrangements, but unfortunately, because Tao Guang and the commander of the 50th Army of the Sichuan Army, Guo Xunqi, Yang was disobeyed, and secretly communicated with the New Fourth Army, and finally entered the New Fourth Army Jihua stillborn.

Therefore, at the end of last year, the Military Commission transferred Guo Xunqi to Chongqing and left him idle, but Tao Guang had quite a background, and the order for his transfer to the Military Commission as a senior staff member was closed because of the opposition of a certain senior officer.

Shangguan Yunxiang originally thought that after what happened last time, Tao Guang should be somewhat restrained, but he didn't expect that he would still be the same.

What division was hit hard, this is all brackets, Tao Guang clearly didn't want to fight with the New Fourth Army, so he deliberately released water.

Fortunately, Shangguan Yun had already taken precautions for this, and immediately instructed the chief of staff: "Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the commander's department, requesting Rong Pei and the preparatory division to encircle in the direction of the bee cave, and the New Fourth Army must be wiped out by the whole division, so even if the New Fourth Army is partial to the division, it must not be let go."
