Section 210 Defending Yong'an Town

Wang Shi looked at the cavalry battalion soldiers who were constantly entering the town, everyone's body was soaked with bloodstains, and there was clotted blood on the mane of the war horse that everyone stepped on. He remembered that when he saw this army in the early morning, these cavalry had been cleaned by the war horses, and so many blood stains had been condensed at this moment, it was obvious that the bearded battalion commander was not bragging, and he had indeed gone through a bloody battle just now. Seeing that the morale of the soldiers of the cavalry battalion was high at the moment, and when they swept away the extremely serious expressions from before, he no longer had any doubts.

It's just that Wang Shi really can't understand why this independent regiment is so powerful? Hundreds or thousands of enemies can be annihilated at every turn, and in the blink of an eye, they can defeat the devil and win the battle? Isn't it very difficult to fight against the Japanese army and win a battle?

Shi didn't know that Wang Shi would think like this at the moment, their independent regiment had long been accustomed to such a situation, and the annihilation of hundreds of Japanese soldiers in a battle was like a common thing for Shi, and it was not something to boast about at all. What he was worried about now was where the army commander had withdrawn and how the defense situation here in Yong'an was doing. Therefore, as soon as Hu Zi finished speaking, he asked, "Brother Lin, Brother Wu, how are the fortifications here in Yong'an prepared?" ”

When Lin Xiufeng heard this, he immediately said proudly: "Don't worry, since yesterday afternoon, the regiment led the troops to rush to reinforce the 58th Division, and my brother Wu and I were worried that the battle situation might be unfavorable, so we arranged for the Minfu battalion to repair the fortifications in Yong'an. The first road is located six miles outside the town and is based on the small Min Mountain. This small Minshan is the commanding heights of the west of Yong'an, tightly strangled on the west portal, as long as it is not lost here, the devil will not dare to drive straight in, and Yong'an will have the capital to hold on. The second line of defense was the ditches and fortifications on the periphery of the town, and we lacked masonry and timber, so we had to demolish many houses in the town, and use the foundation stones of the houses as the backing, and set up several solid machine-gun positions on all sides of the town, and cleared the firing horizon on the periphery, which was enough to cause a lot of casualties to the devils. The third and final line of defense is to build several blocking positions based on the town's tic-tac-toe streets, and if we really get to this point, we will fight the devil to the death here. ”

After hearing this, Shi Shi couldn't help frowning and asked: "Xiaomin Mountain is only three or four hundred meters high, and the mountain is flat, I'm afraid it is not a place to stay for a long time." And Yong'an Town is too small to keep too many troops to garrison, fighting in the streets here, and the devils are bombarded with a few shells, and we are going to be finished. ”

Hearing the stone's words, the proud look on Lin Xiufeng's face immediately disappeared, he coughed awkwardly, and immediately asked, "Tuanza, what do you mean?" ”

The devil may chase after him at any time, the situation is extremely tense, and the stone has no time to waste, so he immediately said: "Fortunately, the purpose of this battle is only to delay time, and now there are still four hours before dark, and our goal here in Yong'an is to hold two hours." ”

"Just two hours?" Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but say in surprise.

Shi sighed and said: "I am already very happy to be able to hold on for two hours, it depends on whether the main force of the devil comes, if we find that it is the main force of the devil who catches up, let alone two hours, we can't hold it for twenty minutes." The Devil's Armor Division is not something that our small independent regiment can deal with. ”

Wang Shi on the side was in a hurry, he interjected and said: "Shi Tuanzuo, the main force of the military department is still retreating, if you can't hold on here for enough time, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Wenfeng on the side couldn't help but stare at him and said, "Who is this?" Our independent regiment is fighting, when will it be your turn to point fingers? ”

Wu Zihuai heard him speak, couldn't help but pull him aside with a wry smile, and persuaded him in a good voice: "Crazy, don't talk nonsense, this Battalion Commander Wang is the nephew of the military seat, and if you offend such a person, won't you cause trouble to the group seat?" ”

Liu Wenfeng couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this, and looked at Wang Shi with disdain, he didn't look at such a person who relied on his relationship to be in a position at all. These people were promoted from small soldiers to battalion commanders, how many battles did they fight, how many devils did they kill? How many times have the ghost door been closed to climb back and forth to have today's achievements and status, these people are good, they are higher than their level without much effort, and when I think of this, my heart is not happy.

Shi waved his hand at them and said: "The enemy is now, don't talk nonsense that has nothing to do with this battle, let me introduce you to everyone, this Battalion Commander Wang is the commander of the Military Guard Battalion." The military seat was worried about the situation here, and the brothers of the special guard battalion stayed behind to fight side by side with us to buy more time for the evacuation of the main army. Crazy, you and Hutou fought on the front line of the Laodao River last night, and I don't know the situation here in Huanghua Town, I won't investigate it. But from now on, if anyone dares to talk nonsense and hurt the feelings between the Pao Ze brothers, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people, and the military law will deal with it. ”

Seeing that Shishi's face turned cold, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, who is Liu Wenfeng? After staying in the independent regiment for so long, he naturally knew the principle of how to deal with people, and when he heard this, he immediately saluted Wang Shi and said: "It turned out to be Camp Commander Wang, and I was offended by my words just now." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Wang Shi couldn't help but respond quite politely, when he was in Huanghua Town before, he had already learned the strength of the cavalry battalion commander's beard, and now he met a Liu Wenfeng who was sharper than his beard, looking at his still aggressive momentum when he apologized, he couldn't help but be polite in his mouth, and his heart was full of wry smiles, compared with these front-line commanders, he was really nothing, compared to his military achievements, it was something that didn't need to be mentioned at all, imagine that the cavalry battalion fought that battle last night, How many years will it take you to catch up? Compared with qualifications, it is impossible to mention, these people have been in the army for so long, which one of them has not risen by fighting with a knife and a gun and accumulating combat exploits? The only thing that can be compared may be that he has a high-ranking and powerful uncle than them, but this thing doesn't work on the battlefield where the bullets don't have long eyes, and when you are fighting for life and death, the devil will not kill you because you are a relative or descendant of a high-ranking official. Thinking of this, Wang Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking at the stone standing there and talking sharply, he couldn't help but be full of admiration for him for a while.

How big is the stone? At most, he was twenty-three or fourteen years old, however, this extremely young officer was not only the highest-ranking person among the people in front of him, but also had the prestige of his word here, and no one dared to refute the order in the slightest. Just like Wang Yaowu to the 74th Army, he has absolute authority and control. And this relies on the confidence and trust he has accumulated from victory after victory, and the prestige and power he has won again and again.

Shi's gaze swept over everyone, and at this time, no one said a word more, and there was no doubt about the arrangement and arrangement of the head of the regiment.

"The purpose of this battle is to cover the withdrawal of the entire 74th Army to Liuyang and other places, from us to the Liuyang area, a distance of about 60 miles, if the infantry marches, at most three hours, that is to say, there are two more hours, and they can rush to the Liuyang area. But we can't just hold on for two hours, the purpose of this time the whole army is to establish a counterattack position, and wait for the reinforcements from all theaters to arrive here, and then counterattack Changsha and take back our lost territory. Therefore, it is very important whether we can gain a firm foothold on the front line of Liuyang, and the longer we block the devil halfway, the more stable the position of the military seat will be, and the greater the certainty of this battle. Stone said in a deep voice.

Wang Shi on the side didn't suddenly realize until this moment that Captain Shi not only knew what he was anxious about, but also understood much more deeply than him. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, obviously with the knowledge and experience of Captain Shi, how could he not imagine the things he could think of? I'm still too anxious!

"The first line of Xiaomin Mountain, guarded by a battalion; The second line of defense on the outskirts of the town was garrisoned by the 2nd Battalion; Battalion Commander Wang, you and the brothers of the guard battalion stayed in the town to prepare for street fighting with the devils, and taking advantage of your well-equipped characteristics, we will consume a lot of the devils' troops here, so that they will not be able to pursue further. Shi looked at Liu Wenfeng and Gao Da Hammer, who looked calm, and then saw Wang Shi with an excited expression, and couldn't help but smile at him and nodded.

Looking at Wang Shi's appearance, he couldn't help asking, "Battalion Commander Wang, what's the problem with the guard camp here?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Wang Shi's body, and many of them were a little puzzled and puzzled, not knowing why the regiment put the heavy responsibility on the guard battalion. Street fighting is not only about good weapons and equipment, but also about psychological quality, and this kind of face-to-face bloody struggle is an extremely bloody test of the bloody nature of officers and men, and it is absolutely impossible for a bloodless unit to win in such a cruel war. Does the guard battalion have the ability to do this? They didn't know, they were accustomed to the fragility of friendly troops, they didn't trust any other troops except the Independent Regiment, and in their opinion, even if three battalions had remained in the town, the situation would have been better than this guard battalion.

However, they don't dare to say this kind of thing at the moment, the regiment commander has just warned them, who dares to run into the regiment commander's gun at this time? Just from their expressions, the stones could tell at a glance that they did not trust this guard battalion.

Wang Shi replied loudly at this time: "Shi Tuanzuo rest assured, the guard battalion will not be ordered to retreat, and will never retreat, even if the entire battalion is gone, it will not hesitate." ”
