CHAPTER III. 7
In this battle, a little-known recruit really showed his face, and he killed fifteen devils with a bayonet in his hand. After the battle, it was found that there were as many as 21 wounds on his body, including a bayonet piercing his left arm by a Japanese soldier, causing a serious penetrating wound. The warrior, nicknamed "Lee's Big Head", didn't think much about it, and after looking at his arm that had been poked with a transparent hole, he roared angrily and waved his knife to separate the head and body of the devil on the other side.
It is not shy to say that Yang Longfei's tactical command ability is first-class, but his stabbing skills are really not flattering. Only care about hard work, do not know skills. This aspect cannot be raised, and even he himself knows this, after all, there is no perfect soldier in this world. Coupled with the continuous contusions of the waist and limbs caused in the first two battles, the body slowly became a little powerless. After erasing the necks of three devils in a row, Yang Longfei and a Japanese second lieutenant armed with a saber met in a narrow way.
This Japanese second lieutenant with a mustache above his lips has some way to come, he was a disciple of Japan's Nakajo Ichito stream long before he was recruited, and his kendo cultivation had reached the fifth stage when he joined the army, and it is said that he also received a period of jiu-jitsu training in the army, which can be seen in his fist and foot kung fu.
In Yang Longfei's opinion, this little devil is really a bit of a suspicion of waiting for work, which is trying to take advantage! He decided to strike first, waving the blade in his hand and slashing at the Japanese second lieutenant. Unhurried, the lieutenant dodged the blow after leaning over slightly. Not only that, but he even made a provocative gesture towards Yang Longfei, as if telling him in invisible words: Your knife skills are too bad, do it again, cut it a little more correctly......
Yang Longfei was on fire, he couldn't stand the insult of the devil the most, and after yelling "your grandma", he continued to slash at the second lieutenant with the ghost head knife. The second lieutenant no longer shy away from it, and his shot was a killing move, and he almost hit Yang Longfei several times. Yang Longfei somewhat understood, this rabbit cub's moves were all aimed at his head and neck, and the opponent's lower three roads were very well protected, even if you made a false move, he could still block it with *. Yang Longfei couldn't help but swallow her saliva, damn, this time it's hard to get a hard stubble!
"Come here, come here......" The Japanese second lieutenant looked at Yang Longfei, who was at a disadvantage, with a sneer, while continuing to make provocative movements and gestures, it seemed that he was full of confidence. The Japanese lieutenant firmly believed that it was only a matter of time before the * would soon be able to cut off the head of the not-so-striking guy opposite.
After two more rounds of competition, Yang Longfei gradually became a little defeated, and in the face of the enemy's almost crazy attack, Yang Longfei's pair of palms that changed their hands to hold knives were shocked and numb. If one of them is not supported, the ghost head knife in his hand will come out of his hand and fall to the ground. The Japanese second lieutenant was overjoyed when he saw this, his eyes as sharp as a falcon trembled slightly, and he took the opportunity to grasp the hilt of his knife and rushed towards the defenseless Yang Longfei......
Hearing a loud "click", the Japanese second lieutenant fell to the ground like a door panel, and the whole person lay in a pool of blood without saying a word, obviously dying. The frightened Yang Longfei only felt as if he was brushing shoulders with death, and he witnessed the enemy slashing at him with a saber, almost hitting the bridge of his nose.
Only then did Yang Longfei realize that it was the soldier named Li Datou who saved him. Because Li Datou had just joined the army, he was still incorporated into the battle sequence of the 25th Regiment as a supplementary source of troops after the Battle of Songhu, so Yang Longfei knew very little about this person, let alone understood it, and he had a relationship with him to die.
Li Datou, formerly known as Li Bencai, was born in a martial arts family in Baiyangdian, Baoding, Hebei Province, and practiced kung fu since he was a child. Studied under Zhang Zhankui, a master of Tianjin Wei martial arts nicknamed "Lightning Hand", studied Xingyi Boxing and Baguazhang, and was one of the few closed disciples under Master Zhang Zhankui, who was quite familiar with the essence of internal martial arts, and in the same future, Xingyi Boxing masters such as Han Muxia, Zhao Daoxin, Jiang Rongqiao and others were all brothers of the same school. His master is even more famous, he is the master of Xingyi Boxing in the late Qing Dynasty, and Guo Yunshen, who enjoys the reputation of "half-step collapse boxing all over the world". Compared with those "practitioners" on the rivers and lakes who rely on wild roads to bully and dominate the market, Li Bencai can be said to be a well-deserved famous and decent family, and his background is upright. It is said that Li Bencai's later customary nickname "Li Big Head" was given to him by several senior brothers back then. The main reason is that the master asked Li Bencai to hit a stone tablet in the courtyard with his head every day, and his head hit him bigger than ordinary people every day, so "Li Tou" got its name.
After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Li Bencai and his parents fled from Tianjin to Beiping, and both parents were killed by the Japanese army on the way. Li Bencai's heart was suddenly like ashes, he originally planned to go back to Tianjin Wei to find a master, but on the way back, one of them couldn't hold back, grabbed a handful of scissors from the roadside tailor shop and killed two Japanese soldiers patrolling the street, and as a result, the Japanese army blocked the entire Sijiu City and posted notices all over the city to be wanted and pursued. Fortunately, this kid had a big life, and he escaped before the Japanese army blocked the city gate, and signed up for the Central Army in Jinan. After the Battle of Songhu, Li Bencai was assigned to the first battalion of Yang Longfei's 25th Regiment as an ordinary soldier as the first batch of post-war supplementary soldiers. Even he himself didn't expect that he had become famous in the first battle he had just participated in, and a "Zhongzheng" with a bayonet in his hand had already killed no less than 40 devils, breaking the largest number of enemies killed by a single soldier in the whole regiment, and even the regiment commander Yang Longfei and battalion commander Xie Dacheng were left far behind by him.
The battle instantly entered a white-hot state, Yang Longfei picked up his ghost head knife from the ground without even saying a word of gratitude, and fell into a melee again, but he had firmly remembered the appearance of this soldier in his heart. Li Bencai stood in place and was stunned for a few seconds, and then re-entered the battle behind Yang Longfei, he chose to fight the enemy as close to Yang Longfei as possible, protecting the regiment commander while not affecting his own meritorious service to killing the enemy.
Two more Japanese military caopers appeared in front of Li Bencai, and the conservators obviously realized the assassination ability of the tall Chinese soldier in front of them. The two Japanese soldiers glanced at each other and nodded, they planned to go up together, two to one, and put down the Chinese soldier first.
Seeing that the situation was not good, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army nearby hurriedly rushed over to help, but Li Bencai shouted: "Get up, what are you doing?" What's wrong with me? After speaking, he angrily scolded at the two Japanese soldiers in front of him: "Little devil, my ancestors are ...... in Japan" Before the words fell, he picked up his bayonet and rushed towards the enemy, and before the enemy could make a defensive posture, he stabbed into the abdomen of the opponent, and the wounded soldier Cao was killed on the spot. The other soldier Cao couldn't help but feel angry, he raised the rifle with the bayonet and stabbed it at Li Bencai's backbone, but he never thought that Li Bencai, a stunned young man, would turn sideways and knock the other party directly to the ground, and the soldier Cao fell upside down on the spot. Before he could get up from the ground, he saw Li Bencai raise his knife and fall, and Jun Cao immediately turned his head in a different place.
The battle lasted only more than an hour, and the vanguard of the ninth wing of the Japanese army was a little unable to bear it, although they carried the number of a wing, but the overall strength was very scattered, and the Japanese army in the Meihua Mountain area was only one brigade of troops, and after the guns and artillery tempering carried out by the two sides before, both sides suffered heavy losses and suffered more than half of the casualties. Since the commander of the 9th Wing, Naonan Yoshino, had been killed in battle, the Japanese army was leaderless, and now the attack was blocked, and the continued advance of the troops had become an empty word, under the order of the Japanese army commander Yamada Shaosa, the Japanese vanguard had to abandon the advance plan and withdraw from the battle, and return to the original position to make the next step.
The 25th Regiment of the "crushing victory" also returned to the fortifications according to the original route for rest, and according to preliminary statistics, more than half of the first battalion was killed and wounded in this white-knuckle battle, and all the company commanders of the three companies under its command were killed; Wang Danian, the leader of the gang's squad, also died in the battle; Chen Shihe, the leader of the groom squad, was stabbed in the chest, bleeding nonstop, and was dying; The commander of the first battalion, Xie Dacheng, was also stabbed in the abdomen, but fortunately the wound was not deep, and the bleeding was stopped after a simple bandage; Although the regiment commander Yang Longfei was not injured, due to excessive force during the white-knuckle battle, the wound behind the waist that had not been removed was split again, and the blood mixed with white pus trickled out like a stream.
Due to the lack of medicines, Yang Longfei's wounds could not be treated well, and could only be bandaged simply to stop the bleeding. During the bandaging process, in order to prevent himself from making a sound when he was in pain, Yang Longfei actually stuffed his right hand into his mouth and bit it fiercely. After the bandaging was completed, Yang Longfei found that he had bitten a circle of bloody tooth marks on the back of his hand. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, only to feel a strong feeling of dizziness coming over him. Yang Longfei subconsciously stopped, covered his dizzy head, and tried his best not to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Xie Dacheng and the others hurriedly came over to support Yang Longfei: "Regiment leader, what's wrong?" Let's go lie down in the back for a while......"
Yang Longfei maintained the last trace of sobriety, waved his hand weakly and refused: "There's no fuss, maybe it's a little cold, I'll just lie here and squint for a while, don't worry about me." After speaking, he pushed Xie Dacheng and the others away, stumbled to a ballade pit with the last strength, and cursed in his heart a second before closing his eyes: Damn, this is over, the battle will continue, but he has fallen, what can I do with the next battle?
The commander of the first battalion, Xie Dacheng, reluctantly waved his hand to the soldiers on both sides, except for the sentry on duty, the rest of the soldiers should find their own places to rest, and there will be a bigger vicious battle to fight tomorrow. After giving the order, he himself found a pit everywhere, pinned his gun to the armed belt, covered his face with a hat, and fell asleep.
Also on this night, Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander of the Nationalist Government's base camp in Wuhan, suddenly sent a telegram to Tang Shengzhi, commander of the Nanjing garrison: If the situation cannot last long, the camera can retreat in order to sort out and anticipate a counteroffensive. This message was undoubtedly like a life-saving straw, giving Tang Shengzhi, who was trapped in this pool of mud, the strongest desire to survive. In the past few days, he hesitated and tossed and turned, just to wait for Chairman Chiang to personally issue the order to retreat. Before receiving the order, Tang Shengzhi himself had already fallen asleep. When he learned of the commission's instructions, he immediately became sleepy, and he immediately ordered the guards to call their deputies Luo Zhuoying and Liu Xing, formulate a retreat plan overnight, and issue the order issued by the Wuhan base camp to all the combat departments that could be contacted, asking them to formulate their own breakthrough plans and wait for the opportunity to move.
……
As soon as the day dawned, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 25th Regiment, which were responsible for the defense of the northern foot of the Purple Mountain, had already abandoned their existing positions under the leadership of Zhang Shan, deputy commander of the regiment, and had reached the station of the 1st Battalion all the way. Before Zhang Shan could get close to Xie Dacheng, the commander of the first battalion who was sleeping, he subconsciously took out the matching gun from his waist, and his calf rubbed against the rifle, and the muzzle of the gun poked directly at Zhang Shan's eyebrows.
"I said Xie Dacheng, what the is wrong with you? Pulling out a gun in your dreams? Hurry up and give the insurance to Lao Tzu! Zhang Shan scolded angrily.
Xie Dacheng put down the muzzle of the gun with a smile, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm used to it, I thought it was a devil who touched it...... Alas, why did you come up? Where did Qian Liyuan and Cao Guang go? ”
"The two of them are still behind, and I took the regiment headquarters to touch them one step ahead of them. I heard that your phone line here has been cut off, and you can't get in touch with the headquarters headquarters, right? Zhang Shan asked.
Xie Dacheng didn't know anything about the head of the regiment, Yang Longfei, cutting off the phone line, and looked at Zhang Shan blankly: "I don't know, there is such a thing?" ”
The communication soldier on the side interjected: "That's the case, I was at the forward command post at the time, and I was the regiment commander...... It was the regiment commander who cut the telephone line with a big blade......"
Zhang Shan suddenly realized: "I said, Chief of Staff Qiu of the corps said that he could not contact the regiment commander, so he sent two signal soldiers to the regiment headquarters overnight to find someone, and I was still wondering at the time. I was afraid that something would happen to the head of the regiment, so I hurriedly led the team over to take a look...... Hmm, I almost forgot about the big thing, let me tell you, the corps sent a messenger to the regiment headquarters last night to convey the order to change guards, and the grassroots units abandoned their existing positions and scattered to break through. The task of our regiment is to organize our troops to move closer in the direction of Yanziji, and strive to meet with the main force of the headquarters at about eight o'clock this evening......"
Xie Dacheng was a little ambiguous after hearing this, and he asked rhetorically: "Didn't I say it...... I didn't quite understand what you said. What do you mean...... Breakthrough? That is to say, don't fight? Trying to get out? ”
"You don't button your hat, how can this be what I said? This was an order given by the Gui Corps and Chief of Staff Qiu. The telephone line here has been broken for a hundred years, and the communication soldiers have directly found me on the body of a deputy regiment commander, what do you want me to do? Forget it, it's useless to tell you so much, what about the head of the regiment? Zhang Shan looked a little anxious in his words.
Xie Dacheng raised his left arm and pointed to a foxhole ten meters away, Zhang Shan looked at Xie Dacheng with a strange look, and then quickly ran to the side of the foxhole, and the scene in front of him almost scared him to sit on the ground. I saw the head of the regiment, Yang Longfei, huddled in the pit, his facial muscles were almost spasmodic, his upper and lower lips twitched unnaturally, and half of his face was already drenched in hot sweat.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Shan and Xie Dacheng immediately jumped into the pit and picked Yang Longfei up from the ground and laid him flat on the ground. Zhang Shan slapped Yang Longfei's face in an attempt to wake him up, and scolded Xie Dacheng, the battalion commander who was a little helpless, with swear words on the side: "Tuanzao, Tuanzao, what's the matter...... Commander, Commander, wake up, Commander! Xie Dacheng, what the hell do you think of the regiment leader? Didn't you see that the head of the regiment was swinging? What's the use of asking you to be around, you have something that you can't count on with a headache and brain fever! I warn you, the regiment commander has to have three longs and two shorts, I can't spare you? ”
Hearing this, Xie Dacheng was a little panicked: "Swing? Was it okay last night...... What time did this happen? After a white-knuckle battle with the devil last night...... Bad! I saw that something was wrong with the head of the regiment before I rested last night, I thought I was tired, I wanted to know that I ......."
"Earlier? Why the didn't you sleep on the kang? Xie Dacheng, you said you were such a adult? On such a cold day, you let him blow the wind in this foxhole alone? Don't tell me anything about the head of the regiment who wants to stay here, who the head of the regiment doesn't know, don't you know? If you forcibly take him to a sheltered place to squint, he won't be like this! ”
"Lao Zhang, what is the use of you saying so much now? No matter how you scold me, the head of the regiment is sick now, there is nothing you can do! Hurry up, think of a way, what should we do now? Didn't you just say you wanted to break through? You hurry up...... You come to command the battle, I carry the regiment commander on my back, and before the devil comes up, let's retreat quickly! Xie Dacheng knew that he couldn't escape the blame, so he simply put away his previous hot temper, apologized and said good things one by one.
Zhang Shan glared at him viciously and said, "You remember that this matter is not over!" I'll settle accounts with you later...... The whole regiment listened to my order, the rear team changed to the front team, and quickly withdrew from the position! Aim for Swallow Rock, run forward! Before the words fell, Xie Dacheng squatted down and carried the unconscious regiment commander Yang Longfei on his shoulders, and quickly withdrew from the fortifications under the escort of the two soldiers on the left and right.
The Japanese troops on the opposite side seemed to have discovered the Chinese army's attempt and immediately ordered a counterattack, and the regimental team directly under the regiment was responsible for covering the withdrawal of the main force, and decisively took on the task of blocking it. After the battle lasted for nearly half an hour, more than 150 soldiers of the direct subordinate team were killed......
