Section 93 The Bloody Battle of Wanjialing XXV

Lin Xiufeng is very young, although he has been in the army for a longer time than Shishi, but he doesn't know much about this aspect. As soon as he joined the army, he was in a high position as a staff officer of the regiment headquarters by virtue of his background and academic qualifications, and what he did was to make suggestions and study military intelligence. Wu Zihuai knows something, but he is similar to Lin Xiufeng, he has never held any real power, and this kind of thing really can't be put on the table, and it is even more difficult for him to explain it directly to the stone.

Zheng Yongchang is different, he is a company commander who leads the troops, and for a long time, the troops encountered many things in the southern and northern wars, and the 83rd Division is not like the 51st Division, which basically belongs to the central descendant troops, and the equipment situation and the quality of the soldiers and army management cannot be compared at all, so there are many things to compete for merit and favor, and to compete for military merits.

I have seen a lot and experienced a lot, and I am naturally very sensitive to these things, so Zheng Yongchang did not hesitate to remind his regiment commander, in case his actions caused dissatisfaction among others, and now that the 302nd regiment has enough combat exploits, he will add to the snake.

The stone was first surprised, then depressed. I don't know if it's because of this dirty thing that spoils his mood, or if it's a big headache about the loss of his memory, although the appearance looks no different from ordinary people, but the hardships and helplessness are only known to him.

Several people sat there thinking about their own thoughts, and it seemed that Zheng Yongchang really lost the interest in understanding the battle situation, which made Zhang Donkey couldn't help but look very embarrassed, and he didn't know if he would have to work so hard to let his brothers investigate the military situation everywhere in the next step.

After a long time, Shi finally took a long breath, seemed to have figured out something, looked up and said to Zhang Donkey: "Old Zhangtou, you continue to arrange for the brothers of the reconnaissance company to keep an eye on the situation around you, and if there is any change, come over in time to report, we are not far from the line of fire here, the devil said that you can fight it, but don't be made dumplings and don't know yet." ”

Zhang Donkey nodded, saluted and said, "Don't worry, I let the three platoons take turns to rest, and I must have kept an eye on the surrounding situation." ”

Shi watched him turn around and leave, and said to Lin Xiufeng: "Brother Xiufeng, the brothers of the reconnaissance company are very hard, they are always on the front line of the battle, whether it is weapons, ammunition or food, grass and clothing, they must be in place, even if other companies are not enough, they must give priority to their companies, especially food, gnawing dry cakes and pots every day, but it will greatly affect their combat effectiveness." ”

Lin Xiufeng looked at the stone and said seriously, but he didn't dare to be ambiguous, and immediately responded: "Don't worry, I'll go back and personally go to Uncle Zhou of the supply company to talk about it." ”

Wu Zihuai looked at the figure of Zhang Donkey leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help but be a little worried and said: "Regiment Leader, what Adjutant Zheng said makes sense, we are resting in Xiaojin Mountain now, it seems that there is no need to make the brothers work so hard anymore?" ”

Shi waved his hand and said, "No, I can't joke with the lives of more than 2,000 brothers, only by retreating to an absolutely safe place, can the reconnaissance company rest." I know what Brother Wu is worried about, don't worry, I won't joke with the lives of my brothers, who would want to fight the devil if I don't fight. ”

Wu Zihuai and Lin Xiufeng were also secretly relieved when they heard Shi say this, they knew Shi Shi's temper, they knew that he would die if he started a war, and the ideas in his head were unpredictable, but they were really afraid that he would not be willing to be lonely to take the initiative, but they knew that Shi Shi was what he said, and when he said this, he was relieved.

At dusk, they received another message from the reconnaissance company, this time from a platoon commander, and I heard that because of the fierce fighting in the north, Zhang Donkey personally brought a squad to touch it, and it should not be possible to return in a short time.

The news they got made Shi Shi and the others frown one by one, and the fierceness of the battle was beyond their imagination.

The devil rested all night yesterday, and today he was like crazy, launching a fierce attack on the position of the Fourth Army on the front line of the flesh, and the powerful offensive of the whole brigade made the Fourth Army cry bitterly, and asked for help again and again, today's battle, the devil is not as hesitant as the previous attack on Lion Rock, some hesitation, in the case of feeling the crisis, the artillery and air force support alone caused heavy losses to the Fourth Army, and the temporary position was broken through by the devil several times.

Fortunately, in the afternoon, the 74th Army sent the 348th Regiment of the 58th Division over, and after a bloody battle, the attacking Japanese army was finally repulsed, but after the war, the casualties were counted, but everyone was not optimistic, although the devils lost almost four or five hundred people in the attack all day, but the Fourth Army lost more, and a regiment on the first line was basically wiped out, with more casualties of more than 2,000 people. In the case of the devil's main attack, their casualty rate was actually around 1:4, how could such data not make them frightened.

If this continues, I'm afraid that in a few days, their troops will be wiped out by devils. Thinking of the courage and ferocity of the devils, everyone couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts, and the possible result of almost being surrounded by the devils and annihilating the whole army before was also shrouded in their hearts, making them a little afraid.

The devil did not attack overnight, perhaps because the terrain of the mountains at night was complicated, and the Japanese army did not want to take risks, so this mountain range was rarely quiet, but in such a quiet night, everyone's eyes widened, in case there was any unexpected situation, especially the officers and commanders of the Fourth Army and the Seventy-fourth Army, they were even more worried and unintentional to sleep, they knew Commander Xue's battle plan, thinking that now was the critical moment of the encirclement, thinking of the terrible consequences of letting the devil break out of the encirclement, One by one, they stared at the dark distance, as if they were afraid that some wild beast would suddenly rush out in the dark night, which made them uneasy.

The next day, the officers and men of the Nationalist Army, who were not well rested because of the nervous vigilance, were attacked more fiercely by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army seemed to have made up their minds to break through their defensive line at this moment, and the Japanese army completely abandoned the defense in other directions, and threw all its forces into the positions of the Fourth Army, and the fierce shelling of the entire artillery wing, and the back and forth bombardment of dozens of aircraft, almost leveled the defense line of the Fourth Army.

The Japanese infantry had not yet been put into the attack, and almost half of the officers and men of the Nationalist army on the defensive line had been killed in the surging artillery fire, and under the fierce bombardment of the Japanese army, which was eager to finish all the shells in one day, the position of the Fourth Army completely collapsed, and the two sergeants fought to the death with bayonets between the craters.

In the afternoon, the crumbling Fourth Army was once again supported by the 74th Army, and after Yu Jishi got the news, he also sent the 347th Regiment stationed in Changling, which was personally led by the commander of the 174th Brigade, Wu Jiguang.

After a whole day of bloody battles, although they repelled the attack of the devils again, but the results made them cry without tears, although the devils lost thousands of people, but the Fourth Army's losses on this day were as many as more than 5,000 officers and soldiers, and the entire army was almost wiped out, more importantly, after two days, the number of wounded was greatly beyond their imagination, all the gauze drugs were used up, the wounded could only wail helplessly, and the officers and soldiers who could not be treated could only die after * and died of blood, and the whole body was full of mourning, The corpses are piled up like mountains, and several nearby mountains are also stained red with blood, which is shocking and terrifying.

However, the Fourth Army cannot be withdrawn, as soon as they withdraw the entire pocket, the gap will be exposed, everything done in the early stage will be in vain, all the soldiers will be sacrificed in vain, and more importantly, behind the Fourth Army is De'an, as soon as they withdraw, De'an will be exposed to the attack of the Japanese army, and the whole battle situation may change because of this.

After asking the corps headquarters for help to no avail, Yu Jishi could only order the 174 Brigade to temporarily stay in the Fourth Army's defense line to help, otherwise once the physical view of the line was broken, their defense here would have no meaning.

Yu Jishi once again convened the officers of the 74th Army to discuss the current situation, and made an inferential analysis of the Japanese offensive on the third day, but the result was that they were very cursed, and they were not sure whether they could hold the attack on the third day of the devil.

The Fourth Army lost nearly 7,000 men in two days, a figure that far overturned their previous expectations and shattered their illusions, and the casualty rate of more than half, accompanied by a large amount of weapons and ammunition consumption and low morale, the Fourth Army was divided into positions in the evening, and even sent all the men and horses to the battlefield, and its embarrassment can be imagined.

Tomorrow, who would dare to say that such a tired and greatly reduced army will be able to stop the devils who have already killed the red-eyed? Who can be sure to hold this pocket? Even if they send all the 174 brigades over, it is difficult to predict how much effect they can have.

And Wang Yaowu's bold idea also made Yu Jishi and others helpless to the extreme, "What if tomorrow the devils turn their guns and aim the direction of their attack at their 74th Army?" ”

Others also thought about this possibility, but no one dared to say it, for fear of affecting morale. Wang Yaowu has no scruples, his personal relationship with Yu Jishi is by no means ordinary, and now that it is a critical moment in the battle, naturally there will be nothing to hide.

His idea is very simple, although the Fourth Army has suffered heavy losses in the past two days, but they are not without casualties, the 302 Regiment who rushed here in advance has suffered a lot of losses, which has greatly reduced their combat strength, and now the 174 Brigade is reinforcing the defense line of the Fourth Army, although they still have a lot of troops in their hands, but they have to defend Lion Rock, and they have to guard the front line of Changling and Jinshan, the battle line is too long, resulting in the scattering of troops, in case the devils turn their guns to fight them, can they hold such a long defense area with only their people?

Yu Jishi smiled helplessly, there was no way!
