Section 197 Staying in Huanghua Town

Huanghua Town has calmed down, but after a bloody battle, where is there any real peace, but compared to the previous continuous battles, the situation at this moment does make people feel calm inside. Torches and oil lamps were lit everywhere, and there was a dim light everywhere, and the streets that had been clean and tidy were now no longer where to stay, and the corpses of the dead soldiers of the two armies could be seen everywhere, and there were traces of battle everywhere, and many houses were destroyed in the fire, and the smell of burnt paste filled the four corners.

Wang Yaowu was protected in the middle by a group of soldiers of the independent regiment, and these soldiers were far less shiny than the soldiers of the guard battalion in terms of equipment. But their solemn momentum and murderous aura were not comparable to the soldiers of the guard battalion. This may seem strange to say, after all, the guard battalion of the military department, which guards the safety of the military ministers, should be the strongest unit in the whole army in terms of combat effectiveness. In fact, it is true that these soldiers selected from various departments are all veterans and fierce generals who have experienced a hundred battles, and in terms of seniority and military exploits, they are no worse than the veterans of the independent regiment, but they do not have the self-confidence accumulated by the soldiers of the independent regiment who have won a hundred battles, and the self-confidence that they can fight in the face of any enemy.

By the time the 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment arrived, the battle was largely over, and the Japanese had left some troops in the north. But it was these broken people who made the soldiers of the guard battalion helpless, and there was no way to cross their defensive line and pursue the main force of the enemy, but as soon as the sledgehammer arrived, it was just an order to do nothing, and there was no need to use the artillery company at all, but the frontal suppression and advance shooting of the infantry company, and in just a few minutes, the two squads of the Japanese army were completely annihilated, and the process was easy and effortless, and for the soldiers of the independent regiment, it was already accustomed to it.

But they were shocked when this kind of weightless situation fell under the eyes of the soldiers of the guard battalion. Under the enemy's accurate shooting and ferocious firepower, let alone annihilating the enemy, it is impossible to get close to the other party, but why are these Japanese troops so powerless in the face of the infantry of the independent regiment?

The soldiers of the guard battalion couldn't figure it out, and the guard battalion commander Wang Shi couldn't figure it out either. Sledgehammer didn't bother to think about these things, but after learning that the military seat was here, he personally led a platoon of thugs to guard him.

Shi He and a group of officers accompanying the military department came to see the military seat, watching the soldiers of the independent regiment sitting on horseback and constantly driving into Huanghua Town, the soldiers of the guard battalion couldn't help but let out a cheer. This battle they fought was really hard, it is conceivable that if it were not for the troops of the independent regiment who arrived in time to defeat the enemy troops on the periphery of the town, and waited until the enemy army turned back to attack Huanghua Town, with their strength, they could not hold on at all, and they would have died, but if in this battle, all the commanders of the military seat and the military headquarters were killed, such losses would have been unimaginable.

Wang Yaowu looked at the stone and others who turned over and dismounted and saluted and couldn't help nodding constantly, he looked at these cavalry soldiers, who were tall and big, but they were all covered in blood, and couldn't help but say a few "good" words, looking back at Chen Yu and everyone in the military department were safe and sound, he finally couldn't help laughing and asked: "Stone, how did your independent regiment come here?" I had ordered you to rush to Swan Mountain to reinforce the 51st Division's defensive line. ”

Chen Yu on the side didn't wait for the stone to speak, and then continued: "Fortunately, the head of the stone came in time, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable!" ”

Wang Yaowu nodded, but he kept looking at the stone, and the stone knew that Junzuo was waiting for him to answer, so he couldn't help but say: "Junza, after receiving the order, I immediately ordered the first and third battalions of the independent regiment to slowly advance in the direction of Swan Mountain along the south of the Laodao River, because it was previously guessed that our communications could be eavesdropped by the Japanese army, in order to prevent being ambushed by the Japanese army on the way, so the troops were divided into two and advanced several miles apart. As soon as the situation changed, the cavalry battalion was immediately ordered to make a detour to attack the rear of the enemy army to ensure the safety of the march and the initiative on the battlefield. In addition, considering that the order of the military headquarters should have been issued before receiving the news from our department, I sent another squad of cavalry to the military headquarters to ask for instructions, and it was precisely the officers and men of this squad who discovered that there was a fierce battle situation in the direction of Huanghua Town, where the military headquarters was located, that I was able to command the cavalry battalion to rush to the battlefield in time. ”

"Really?" Wang Yaowu looked at the stone that answered without leaking, and couldn't help but ask a rhetorical question. And the others also reacted at this time, although the independent regiment rushed to Huanghua Town this time to save the military headquarters from being wiped out, but the previous military order made them rush to the position of the 51st Division, and Shi led his troops here without authorization, and there was indeed a suspicion of not obeying the military order.

Thinking of this, Wang Shi on the side couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if he was in the position of the stone, how would he answer just now? Maybe he will show off his skills, saying that he guessed that the military headquarters might be attacked by devils, so he took a detour and just caught up with this battle? But in this way, doesn't it mean that the commanders of the military department are not as good as themselves? Thinking about it this way, this Shi Regiment Leader is too powerful, he actually reacted so quickly, and his answer made people unable to find any handle, seeing that he was several years younger than himself, how could this guy be so powerful?

Wang Yaowu's face also returned to a smile and said: "It's rare that you are so cautious in marching and fighting, and you can fulfill your duties even more, and the independent regiment has repeatedly made war exploits under your command, which is really rare." The current situation of this battle is not clear, and after this battle is over, I will remember your independent regimental merits in terms of meritorious deeds. ”

Shi saluted and said: "The military seat, it's just that it happened to be the meeting and did his duty, where can it be regarded as any credit?" However, the officers and men of the 58th Division commanded by Deputy Division Zhang were very tenacious on the front line of the Chishi River, and they still tried their best to keep the defense line intact, which was a great achievement. On the opposite side of the Chishi River was the infamous 6th Division of the Japanese Army, and there were already thousands of enemy corpses on the north and south banks of the river. ”

Wang Yaowu said in a deep voice: "I received a battle report earlier, the defenders of the 58th Division collapsed on all fronts, and the Japanese army had successfully crossed the river, so I ordered your independent regiment to go north to support. ”

Shi said: "Military seat, the combat achievements are not detailed, and the collapse of the 58th Division only refers to the 172nd Regiment, the 174th Regiment and the Field Supplementary Regiment. Its 173rd Regiment, under the command of Brother Zhong Lin and Regiment Commander Cai, still fought to the death in the area where the Japanese army crossed the river, which led to the fact that after our regiment arrived, it could repel the Japanese attack, otherwise with the strength of our independent regiment, on a front tens of miles long, it would not be able to resist the Japanese attack on all fronts. ”

Wang Yaowu frowned slightly, at first he only thought that the stone was inviting Zhang Lingfu to attack, with his appreciation of Zhang Lingfu and the stone's repeated military exploits, no matter from which aspect, he could meet this request. What especially dissatisfied him was that Liao Lingqi, the commander of the 58th Division, had not returned to the team since such a critical battle, which gave rise to the idea of correcting Zhang Lingfu. But after listening to Shishi's words, he immediately felt that what Shishi had just said was not an invitation to attack, but a real thing. Just like Shi just said, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment is, it is impossible to be so strong that only one unit of the independent regiment can withstand the strong attack of the 6th division of the devil, after all, they have 4,000 people when they are full, and the 6th division of the devil is one of the strongest combat units in the entire Japanese army invading China.

"The 58th Division, after that, I will investigate the process of the battle in detail, rewards and punishments, and it will naturally be clear and clear, don't worry about this, the most important thing at the moment is to ensure the safety of the front line of the Laodao River and prevent it from being exploited by devils again." Wang Yaowu thought of the thrill of this battle, so he couldn't help but snort coldly, if this battle hadn't come in time, the entire military department would have been served by the devil, it would be really a big joke in the world.

"The military seat, the location of the military headquarters has been exposed, is it necessary to change the location immediately? There is also the previous report of Commander Shi, our army's communication and contact may be eavesdropped on by the devils, and it must also be reported to the theater command in a timely manner, the devils have gathered so many troops in front of our army this time, obviously they want to take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on our army, since the Japanese army has shown a focus on the adjustment of troops, friendly troops in other places can take the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, attacking the enemy's flank and rear, as long as our army is pinning down the enemy in the front and the attack of the friendly troops on both flanks can be effective, it is completely possible to take this opportunity to oppress the enemy's activity space, Hit them both sides of the south bank of the Laodao River. Chen Yu on the side couldn't help but say.

Wang Yaowu pondered for a while and said: "There is no urgency to change the command for the time being, it is inconvenient to move at night, and it is easy to panic. As for security, you are in charge of the stones, and there should be no problem with the 51st Division before dawn, and you have also sent two battalions over, which can play a certain auxiliary role. ”

Shi immediately responded after hearing the order, the army commander had already given the order, what else could he say as a little regiment commander? As for the battle between the first battalion and the third battalion, it is only a matter of seeing what the madmen and they will become.

"Immediately use the second set of secret telegrams to send a telegram to the theater headquarters, and report the situation here to our 74th Army, one army here is hard to top the four divisions of the Japanese army, and there must be an explanation for this battle to continue like this, is it that only one unit of our 74th Army in the ninth theater can fight devils? Or can my brothers in the 74th Army only serve as cannon fodder? Wang Yaowu said coldly.

The stone on the side said: "Junzuo, if the order from the peak is not ordered before dawn, how will the battle be fought tomorrow?" Although the 58th Division has held its position today, it will be difficult to say tomorrow, because the devil has the foundation for today's battle, and tomorrow he will take a pontoon bridge and attack from multiple roads, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand it. ”
