Section 85 Dilemma

Time passes very slowly in this tense atmosphere, and every minute and every second seems extraordinarily long. Especially for the soldiers of the first battalion, time is even more precious and abnormal. From Huaqiao to Wuqiao Town, and then to the current mountains, there is not even a day to fight, fighting in such a strange land, dealing with the onslaught of the enemy army in the rough fortifications, this kind of difficulty is really not understandable to ordinary people. Fortunately, the regiment commander finally made a move, they heard the sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance, and they saw the Japanese troops in front of them, who were originally preparing to attack, were constantly shrinking their formations at the moment, and they no longer dared to advance.

This reaction of the enemy made their hearts very happy, and they were full of confidence in the battle in front of them, as long as the regiment commander did not give the order to retreat, they must not lose this position, and every soldier of the first battalion thought so. The glory and self-confidence that the stone brought to the independent regiment made them feel the extra responsibility on their shoulders, and of course, there was also an extra sense of calmness and indifference.

Liu Wenfeng saw that the devils should not attack again for the time being, and immediately shouted to the messenger on the side: "Tell Wang Lao Liu, don't shrink your head, hurry up and repair the position, and then send someone to find Lao Zhoutou in the back of the Minfu camp, and let him arrange manpower to see how many people who are not afraid of death dare to come over to help now." ”

The communicator answered and went to give the order, Liu Wenfeng just wanted to turn around, but he caught a glimpse of Cheng Chong, who was climbing towards the mountain, and after being stunned, he couldn't help but greet him.

"Madman, is there a cavalry battalion dispatched?" Cheng Zhong is responsible for the defense of the other side of the mountain, from the beginning to the present, he has not been attacked by the devils, naturally there is no pressure, which is why he still has time to rush over to check the situation at the moment, if it is replaced by the devils to attack the position of their three companies, I am afraid that he will be even busier at this time.

Liu Wenfeng grinned and said, "Lao Cheng, I don't know more than you. The devil had just fought two waves and retreated, and was about to wait for their third wave of attack, but the little devil retreated a few miles away, something big must have happened. You're here just in time, do you think we should take the initiative to attack and drag down the devils here? If Shi Zheng is leading the cavalry battalion to surround and annihilate the devil's troops behind, entangled the little devils here, on the one hand, they will not be able to reinforce the battlefield behind them, and on the other hand, when the battle at Shi is over, they can turn their heads and attack this wave of devils. ”

In the past, when Li Wenguang was attached to the battalion, Liu Wenfeng had the final say on big and small matters, and his relationship with Li Wenguang was really good enough to wear the same pair of pants. What he said, Li Wenguang also did what to do, the two basically had the same idea. But now that the battalion has been replaced by Cheng Chong, he can't do it. First, we must respect Cheng Chong's opinions and keep the decision-making of the two consistent. Second, Cheng Zhong himself is also a talented and capable general, when he came from the hands of the tall sledgehammer, I don't know how much effort it took, and in the following years, Cheng Zhong has been the third company of the proud soldiers and generals to the uniform, this alone, is not ordinary people can do it. If it is calculated according to military merits, Cheng Zhong should have been attached to the battalion a long time ago, and even let him be a battalion commander, others will not have anything to say, so Liu Wenfeng also relies on Cheng Chong, and big and small things are discussed together.

After Cheng Zhong heard Liu Wenfeng's question, his face couldn't help but remain solemn, and after a deep groan, he still shook his head and said: "Crazy, it's better to be on the safe side, don't act rashly." ”

Liu Wenfeng couldn't help asking, "Oh? What do you think, Lao Cheng? ”

Cheng Zhong was also not polite, and opened his mouth and said: "The main thing is that the nature of this battle is determined, our battle is a blocking war, and the number of devils killed and injured is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to block the devils here, so that they can't retreat, and when the three armies of the friendly army surround them, they can surround the devils again, and our task will be completed." Therefore, our battle can be dragged on, strictly guarded, try not to fight with the devil, Shangfu is only a few dozen miles away from here, even if the road is not good, that is, a day and a half, with the strength of our regiment, it should be enough to complete the task, at this time, it is better to be stable and don't take risks. ”

Liu Wenfeng couldn't help nodding and said, "Okay!" Lao Cheng, you said it thoroughly, so let's do it. However, at this time, it is unlikely that you still have to think about the large army of devils, right? There are 20,000 devils, and there are also heavy artillery troops, no matter which direction they break through, who can stop them? The main force of the devil came over directly, and if it were us, I am afraid it would not last long! ”

Cheng Zhong said very indifferently: "The devil is not so stupid, which side is easy to fight, which side is not easy to fight, they know very well in their hearts, I don't believe that they put soft persimmons and don't pinch them, they insist on gnawing our hard bones, as long as they don't break through from our defense area, no one will have anything to say, right?" Besides, it's not our reason that this battle is like this, the upper peaks are too confident, and the three armies want to encircle a division of the devil, really every army can fight like us? If this is the case, will the situation still be as unfavorable as it is now? Can a devil lay such a big territory? ”

Cheng Chong immediately said disdainfully: "These Shangfeng are so unrealistic, Shangfu has no conditions to encircle and annihilate devils here, and at the beginning of this battle, he was afraid that others would share the merits, and he didn't let us participate in it at the beginning, can such a battle be fought well?" ”

With Liu Wenfeng's temper, he couldn't see such a thing, just when he was about to scold a few times, he saw a group of people coming here from a distance, and then looked at it intently, and then he could tell clearly, it was actually a stone with a group of guards, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, the stone is here, this guy is really fast enough, what to do next, just listen to the order." ”

Here in Leishanling, as the cavalry battalion commanded by Shi fought a beautiful assault battle, the Japanese attack also had to be stopped. Just kidding, knowing that the strength of the enemy army in front of them is far beyond their own, who would dare to attack again, at this time the enemy army did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, as the Japanese army is already a great joy in their hearts, when they think of the news reported back by the scout, they can't help but feel a tingling on their scalp, they really dare not imagine, if they are attacked like this, what kind of ending will it be?

Fortunately, the Wing Commander Katatsu came with reinforcements afterwards, which made them feel a lot more at ease, and at least the increase in strength also made them emboldened, so as not to lose the courage to fight.

Zhidushu then truthfully reported the battle situation on the front line to the wing commander, at this time, he didn't dare to have anything to hide, after knowing the news of the annihilation of the third brigade, the situation was already critical and abnormal, where did he dare to bear the big crime of lying about the military situation?

It seems that the Shan Tian Festival has not recovered from the previous bloody scene, and he did not have any reprimand for Naodushu's report, after listening to it, he only nodded lightly, and even comforted him a few rare words, which made Naodushu flattered and dare not take it. It's no wonder that Zhidu Shu has such an expression, the co-captain has always been strict with the army, quite strict, if he makes any mistakes, let alone scolding a few times, it is normal to get a few slaps, and even a few of their captains have been incited, and it is naturally a luxury to get a few words of comfort in front of such a commander.

However, Katatsutsu didn't seem to have the heart to bother with these things anymore, he looked up at the not-so-tall mountain in the distance, and calculated the losses of this battle in his heart, and what made him especially frightened was that he didn't know where the elusive enemy cavalry was now. Under such circumstances, how can this battle be fought? If the cavalry unit rushes out again in the middle of the battle, what will it use to block the other side? At this time, the losses of the entire 215th Wing were already very staggering, mainly because the entire army of the Third Brigade was wiped out, and a third of the troops were directly lost. Let him be stretched thin when deploying troops, the remaining two brigades, the first brigade lost a lot of troops in two attacks, and there was only such a small number of troops left, and he had to guard against possible enemy cavalry while attacking, and he was simply too busy.

After thinking for a while, Tsugada also sighed helplessly, the battle in front of him is obviously unable to be fought again, if you really want to fight again, then you need to transfer other wings from the division and regiment headquarters to come over, with the current situation, in the case of the 213 Wing being responsible for the break, only the 214 Wing is more suitable, but after the 214 Wing reinforcements come, can it really break through the defense line here?

Judging from the previous battles, the combat effectiveness of the enemy forces here is much stronger than that of the enemy troops fighting on the Shangfu line, although the number of enemy troops has not been detected so far, but from the situation alone, it can already be guessed. Especially the existence of cavalry in this enemy army is even more different, can it really break through the defense line to Fengxin by storming the defense area where this army is stationed? Judging from Katatsutsu's own judgment, it is obviously unlikely, and judging from the current situation, if you want to recapture Wuqiao, you must at least fight for more than one wing. This is only judging by the battle situation that has appeared, what if the enemy army still has hidden strength?

The loss of troops is still secondary, the main question is time, how long can the 213 Wing hold out in the back, can they hold out here to take the enemy's defense? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again! Once too much time is spent here, it will be difficult for the enemy army to surround it, and then it will be difficult to break through.

How did the battle with a huge advantage come to this point? Katatsutsu can't figure it out, and he doesn't have time to think about it!
