Section 184 Counterattack on Gao'an 80

Wu Zihuai's worries are obviously not groundless, after all, almost a day has passed since he got Gao'an City, and there has been no breakthrough in such a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have any major changes in the next battle. After all, for the defending side, relying on the advantage of geographical advantages, their losses are smaller than those of the attacking troops, not to mention that the firepower of the devils has surpassed them a lot.

But where is the 74th Army's follow-up troops at the moment? On this battlefield within a radius of dozens of miles, all units of the 74th Army attacked on all fronts, in order to defeat the enemy army with one drum, where would there be any reservations?

If, as Wu Zihuai said, there is still no progress on the side of Chazi Mountain after a day, then their situation here will be dangerous. Whether it was the retreat of the enemy army in Fengxin or the arrival of reinforcements in Nanchang, it would be a catastrophic blow to them, and with the situation that their regiment was scarred at the moment, how long could it withstand it?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shi couldn't help but feel relieved: "Forget it, the things that follow, I'll talk about it later, maybe it won't be tomorrow, and the main force of the army will eat up the devils." ”

Lin Xiufeng, attached to the regiment, asked with some confidence: "Tuanzuo, what if the main force of the army still doesn't arrive tomorrow morning?" ”

Shi pondered for a moment and said categorically: "It depends on the situation, if we really can't stop the devil at that time, let's retreat, Shangfeng can't expect one of our regiments to take root here." ”

As soon as the words of "good" stone came out, Liu Wenfeng shouted and said: "Plus yesterday was two full days, and we can't eat the devil for so long, so it's no wonder that we can't tie this pocket tightly." When the time comes, if the higher authorities still pass the responsibility on us, then let other troops fight this kind of battle in the future, and I don't think they will even be able to touch the edge of the big city. ”

"Tuanza, telegram, phew! It's from the 57th Division! Zheng Yongchang shouted on the side, but halfway through the words, he became surprised. And hearing his words, everyone also showed a look of surprise, how could the 57th Division send a telegram to them? Although they are under the same banner of the 74th Army, officers of their level basically have no interaction with other units other than the 51st Division. Don't say that it is the 57th Division that has just joined the 74th Army, that is, the 58th Division that has been fighting together since Luodian, and Shi is more familiar with General Zhong Xuedong of the 58th Division, as for others, he has never dealt with them at all.

"Did you make a mistake?" Stone also asked in some surprise.

Zheng Yongchang quickly checked the codebook, quickly translated the telegram, and nodded very affirmatively at this time: "Tuanzuo, there is no mistake, it is indeed for us." Although Zheng Yongchang is a little timid and does not perform well on the battlefield, as a staff adjutant, he is quite competent, after all, he is a staff officer from a professional class, and he is also more careful.

Shi took the telegram and glanced at it, and immediately said in surprise: "The 57th Division is in Shuinan Village? ”

"Where is Shuinan Village?" His words immediately attracted inquiries from everyone, and it was obvious that they were still quite unfamiliar with this piece of terrain.

Zheng Yongchang walked to the map on the side, picked up a pen and lightly drew on the map, and then explained: "Shuinan Village is ten miles south of Chitian Town, slightly off the avenue, more than twenty miles away from the city. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall sledgehammer interjected and said, "They want to ambush the new devils?" What are they trying to do? The devil who put such a big mountain as Chazi Mountain did not fight, but ran to a place fifty miles away to engage in an ambush, isn't this reluctant to seek the near and far? ”

Shi looked at the map and said, "Maybe the military department thinks it's a bit difficult to defend the big city with only one of our regiments, but if there are friendly troops to reinforce each other, the pressure we have to bear is much smaller." Why, didn't you just say that the arrangement of the division headquarters is not very reasonable, and you shouldn't have counted on just one of our regiments? Seeing that the expressions on everyone's faces were wrong, Shi asked with some amusement.

Liu Wenfeng immediately snorted coldly and said: "If you don't come sooner or later, you won't come until we knock down the big city, and you won't come until you come to defend the city, but you actually want to ambush the little devil halfway?" To put it bluntly, isn't it just a halfway way to pick peaches? Such a good thing, why didn't it take our turn to do it again? ”

The tall sledgehammer glared at him and said, "Madman, woe comes from the mouth, you better say a few words!" What's so bad about having reinforcements coming? How do you know they're here to pick peaches and not to pad their backs? ”

Wu Zihuai is actually not happy in his heart, but to be able to mix to this day, the way of doing things is the foundation of his life, after hearing the words of these two, he couldn't help but persuade: "Two battalion commanders, we took the big city with one regiment, this credit is not something that can be divided if you want to, now there are friendly troops to reinforce, in fact, it is also a good thing, if we win, our credit will be greater, if we lose...... He smiled as he spoke, and the meaning was self-evident.

Stone looked at them a little helplessly, he didn't think about it that much, to be honest, he wished he could have a little more reinforcements, so that their pressure in the big city could be much easier. He even wanted to evacuate this battlefield with the whole regiment of brothers now, as for what was not a battle merit, he didn't care at all, and being able to sacrifice some brothers was the most important thing for him.

"The 57th Division has cleared the enemy forces between Chazishan and Fengxin, if the ambush is successful this time, the Japanese troops in the direction of Fengxin may not have the strength to cause us any more trouble in the short term, and if we only deal with the devils in the Nanchang direction, our pressure will be greatly reduced. However, let's send troops to cooperate with them, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, after all, why the devils retreated has not yet been clarified, in case the devil's reinforcements arrive, and now we are accumulating strength to launch a fierce attack, our slightest lack of troops may cause a big mistake. Stone didn't expect them to help with ideas at this time, and thought to himself.

Soon, he made up his mind, and immediately said to Wu Zihuai: "Brother Wu, this time I have worked hard for you, the 57th Division has traveled a long way, and in any case, it is also to help us defend the city, you go to see the commander of the 57th Division on my behalf and thank the friendly troops for their reinforcements." ”

Wu Zihuai nodded, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "How is the army arranged?" ”

"I asked Li Shijian to immediately take the regimental headquarters company with you, although the number is not large, but the combat power of the regimental headquarters company is there, in this case, this is already the limit of what we can mobilize, you explain it to that side, there should be no problem." Stone thought for a moment.

"Okay, then I'll go." Wu Zihuai said, and saluted the stone, such an important thing was handed over to him to do, which also showed the stone's trust in him, which made him very moved.

Seeing Wu Zihuai leaving, Lin Xiufeng on the side couldn't help but say with some surprise: "Tuanzao, only send one regimental headquarters to go over, isn't it a little less?" ”

Without waiting for the stone to speak, Liu Wenfeng on the side said disdainfully: "If you want me to say, don't even go to the regimental headquarters, since they are so arrogant and want to ambush the little devil halfway, they must be strong and have amazing combat effectiveness, what else do we have to do in the past?" ”

Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and Shi shook his head with a chuckle, so that people couldn't see what he wanted to express, only to see that he turned his head to Zheng Yongchang and said, "Adjutant Zheng, contact the division headquarters, how is the battle situation on the front line of Chazi Mountain now?" ”

After Zheng Yongchang got busy on the side, Shi turned to the tall sledgehammer and asked, "Sledgehammer, do you think the battle of the 57th Division can be successful?" ”

Gao Sledgehammer smiled lightly and said, "Whether you can succeed or not, don't you already know in your heart?" Otherwise, how could he have sent the regimental company to send him to death? ”

Shi said lightly: "Where is the 100% certainty on the battlefield?" It's just that the timing of this friendly army coming here is very good, if the Japanese troops on the front line of Fengxin are negligent in intelligence and eager to attack the big city, I am afraid that it will be easy to be ambushed, and the devils in front of us have temporarily withdrawn, I am afraid it will be difficult to arrive in time to support. I don't know if they came across such a good opportunity? Or was it calculated by the officer with the troops? ”

Gao Da Hammer said disapprerovingly: "It doesn't matter if he meets or calculates, they are indispensable for the credit of this battle, but there are people who dare to ambush devils, even if they don't have the opportunity today, they can become famous sooner or later. ”

Just when they chatted casually for a while, Zheng Yongchang ran over again and reported: "Tuanzao, the division headquarters called back, the main force of our army is storming the front line of Chazi Mountain, please be sure to ensure the safety of Dacheng, in order to respond to the main force of the army to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Japanese army." ”

Although Shi knew that this would be the case, when he really heard the news, he still shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It seems that if you really say it, even if we hold it until tomorrow, I'm afraid we may not be able to completely annihilate this enemy army." ”

"Stone, why don't we put it together? On the contrary, the reinforcements have arrived, let them stay in the big city, and we will kill back to Xiangfuguan, I don't believe that in the case of two sides, the little devil can still hold on? Liu Wenfeng said unwillingly on the side.

"Let's wait for this friendly army to finish this battle and then see, it's too early to say this, and the third battalion has no news now, the people are not neat, there is no other way than to defend it!" Stone said in a deep voice.
