Section 47 Responding to the Enemy

Shi took Guo Yan to inspect the position, which was originally the base of the Sichuan Army's tomb, but because the equipment of the Sichuan Barracks was too backward, Shangfeng did not pay attention to the Minshan line, so the brothers of the Sichuan Barracks did not spend much effort here at all, because it was impossible for the devil to know this path hidden in the mountains, and no matter how complete the fortifications were, they could not play the slightest role.

Then the second battalion and the third battalion took over the defense line here, under the command of Lin Xiufeng, the regiment, they were busy for a while, however, the time was too short, the position just took shape and suffered a fierce attack by the Japanese army, I was counting on the Sichuan battalion on the front line to delay time for them, but I didn't want to be defeated, the Japanese army didn't spend much effort to push them here, and used the night attack to almost occupy this area, even the second battalion commander Hu Liqun and the third battalion commander Qu Yuben were martyred.

After the 302nd Regiment retreated from Gaoling Village to defend Minshan, it was divided into three layers before and after, the front area was the defense line of the first battalion, which was a low peak, the Minshan trail went deeper along the foot of the mountain, and the defense line of the first battalion was extended along the foot of the mountain, close to the throat of the trail, behind this hillside was the second line of defense garrisoned by the second battalion, relying on the fortifications of the combination of trees and foxholes in the dense jungle, and the third line of defense was relatively remote from here, far away from the reservoir, and the third battalion was responsible.

But in fact, in addition to the first fortifications are slightly larger, the second fortifications behind are all in vain, the second battalion and the third battalion because of the death of their respective battalion commanders, because of the redeployment of personnel, it is really difficult to form an effective combat force without a period of training, as for the repair of the fortifications was originally arranged in the back, who would have expected the devil to come so quickly?

The speed of the stone is not fast, and the explanation along the way is even more patient, for Guo Yan has always maintained a kind of attitude of imminence, for the staff officers stationed in the regiment headquarters, he has become accustomed to it, when he was in Luodian, Colonel Zhang Lingfu had penetrated into their small third company at that time, which is not an unusual thing.

And Guo Yan seemed to be quite afraid of stones because of Staff Officer Wei's affairs, and his fat face was always smiling, full of flattery.

"Staff Officer Guo, at present, the Japanese may attack at any time, I wonder what arrangements the brigade headquarters has?" After introducing the arming situation, Shi suddenly turned his head and asked.

Guo Yan was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face immediately turned into a wry smile: "Commander Shi, before I came, the brigade headquarters didn't know that the devil would come so soon, I came here on the order of the brigade seat, I came here to listen to Commander Shi's dispatch to see if there is anything to serve, what Commander Shi asked me to do, I just obey the order." ”

Shi shook his head and said: "Staff Officer Guo is too polite, you are a staff officer of the brigade headquarters, and you have been well-informed with the brigade seat and the chief of staff all the year round, and you have long been accustomed to such battles, and I hope that Staff Officer Guo can give us advice and help us get through the difficulties." ”

The wry smile on Guo Yan's face was even worse, he didn't dare to say in his mouth, he almost greeted the eight generations of ancestors of the stone in his heart, and the young regiment commander in front of him who didn't seem to have any hair was ruthless, not only did he kill people like slaughtering dogs, but he was also scheming and doing things without leaking, where was he asking him for a plan at this time, he was clearly looking for a scapegoat, it was okay to win the battle in the future, once he lost, he must have put all the responsibility on his head, and it was useless for him to say anything at that time, could he still say that they had so many mouths?

Looking at the breezy smile on the stone face, Guo Yan couldn't help but shudder, he thought of his colleague Staff Officer Wei who was carried back, would he return to the brigade headquarters like him?

Coughing dryly, Guo Yan said after a while: "That, Commander Shi, it is not appropriate to act rashly at the moment when the enemy situation is unknown, it is more prudent to seize the time to stabilize the defensive line, besides, our army is waiting for work, the Japanese invaders must be exhausted when they come to attack in a hurry, and the offensive will inevitably be demoralized if it is blocked, as long as it defends a few waves of offensives, the Japanese army will naturally retreat." ”

Shi Shi nodded without thinking about it and said: "Staff Officer Guo Gao, all battalions should immediately do what Staff Officer Guo said, seize the time to build a defensive line, Xiufeng, you take Staff Officer Guo to rest first, the devil may come up at any time, fill your stomach first." ”

The woods gradually brightened, and although the lush foliage blocked the scorching sun, it could not stop the rolling heat, even though the lush woods were obviously much cooler than the outside, but the stuffiness could still make people feel the terrible heat, and the slightest movement was sweating.

However, this harsh environment did not dampen the "fighting spirit" of the Japanese troops, and under the command of the commander, the Japanese troops rushed around the position of the 302nd Regiment around noon without warning.

Last night's raid frightened the 302nd Regiment soldiers guarding the forefront, although the enemy who suddenly killed in the dark did not pose much threat to them, but the psychological fear made them still have lingering palpitations, and they were extremely attentive when they were on alert, and when the Japanese army came to kill, they were discovered by them at the first time, and pulled the trigger without mercy, and fired the first shot of the counterattack.

The sound of gunfire tore through the relative calm of the woods, shattering the last trace of luck in everyone's hearts, especially Guo Yan was even more bitter, thinking that this trip was just to assist the 302nd Regiment in establishing a defensive line and stabilizing the morale of the army, who would have thought that he would be involved in a bloody battle just after coming here, and he was more likely to be used as a scapegoat, and he had no place to escape, which really made him helpless.

As the battle became more and more intense, Guo Yan also followed Lin Xiufeng to the front line, and what made him secretly sigh was that at this moment, Shi Shi still maintained his usual calmness, without the slightest expression on his face, as if he didn't care about the battle in front of him, and when he saw them coming, he just nodded lightly, and then said to a young officer on the side: "Did the brothers sent out have any gains?" ”

Hu Zi shook his head and said: "Tuanza, this battle is not easy to fight, the devil is even more difficult to deal with than imagined, basically blocking all the areas in front of us, except for one group of brothers who was a little luckier and withdrew safely, the other four groups were killed and three were injured, and there was nothing to gain." ”

Shi frowned slightly, and nodded lightly: "Send someone to investigate again after dark, the focus is on the enemy situation in the direction of Ruichang." ”

At this moment, a neat and loud shout came from the woods in front of them, penetrating the blockade of the gunfire in one fell swoop, and clearly reached their ears, so that they also couldn't help but look at it, only to see that among the thorns, a series of earthy yellow figures suddenly jumped out, rushing towards them with unstoppable might, this time the number of Japanese troops was obviously beyond their imagination, and it was amazing.

Guo Yan was secretly frightened, and instinctively touched the holster on his waist with his right hand, but he heard the stone snort disdainfully: "Look for death." ”

The sound was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone around, and it seemed to clearly reach the ears of the soldiers of the first battalion on the long defensive line.

"Fight, kill the devil." Seeing that the posture of the Japanese army was slowing down, there was also an excited shout from the position, and immediately scattered gunfire suddenly broke out, and the dense children covered all the space in front of the woods like a drifting heavy rain.

"Click-and-click......" A burst of intensive machine-gun strafing sounded, and the storm suddenly made the heavy rain even more crazy, so that the Japanese troops in front lost any courage to resist, and those Japanese troops who had the support of the woods were okay, and the people who only cared about the charge fell down in the dense rain of bullets and strafing, and died tragically on the spot, and its bloody scene not only made the charging Japanese troops stop in shock, but also made everyone on the side change color in shock.

Guo Yan was taken aback again, because at this moment, he at least heard the strafing sound of no less than 20 light and heavy machine guns, and the dense and frantic firepower built a torrent of steel in front of the position like an insurmountable moat, even if the Japanese army was as crazy and fierce as it had succeeded, but in the face of this absolute firepower, everything seemed a little futile.

Twenty light and heavy machine guns, what kind of firepower is this? On this not very long defensive line, there is a machine gun guarding almost every ten steps or so, and the density is almost desperate, and in front of this powerful firepower, a huge contemplation can't help but emerge, where did the 302nd regiment, which lost its troops, come from such strong firepower? You must know that almost all the spoils of the first battle in Gaoling Village were handed over to the brigade headquarters.

Shi Shi seemed to sense Guo Yan's doubts, and he immediately said coldly: "Staff Officer Guo, we have arranged all the heavy weapons of the whole regiment to the front line, the purpose is to deter the Japanese offensive and win more time for our deployment, but we have suffered heavy losses in several battles some time ago, and we have not been remediated, and the stock of bullets and weapons is very limited. ”

General Guo Yan was suspicious, so he could only say vaguely: "I have already sent someone to urge, as for when the first batch of supplies will arrive, it depends on the arrangement of the brigade, Commander Shi, I am humble and light, there is really no way." ”

"Staff Officer Guo's kindness, the 302nd Regiment must keep it in mind, if this battle can repel the Japanese invaders, I will personally go to the brigade headquarters to ask for credit for Staff Officer Guo." The stone said quite sincerely, but it made Guo Yan on the side sweat profusely and almost fell to the ground.

[Thank you for your congratulations!] I went to Suzhou Jinji Lake for three days, I was really entangled, I didn't have time to code words, and then I had to consider the local market, which was really speechless, and I didn't know when the book would end when it would end! 】
