Section 215 Sudden ascent to the mountains

Shi Shi walked around in a room in the westernmost part of Yong'an Town with his hands behind his back, and beside him sat Lin Xiufeng, Wu Zihuai, Gao Dazhu, Wang Shi, Shen Qingyun and others. Listening to the rumbling cannons in the distance, feeling the enemy's strong force and fierce attack, they couldn't help but stare at the stones that came back and paced one by one, hoping that this regimental commander, who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats, could lead them out of the predicament in front of them, but the stones did not say a word, frowned, occasionally looked up at the west, and then continued to pace.

"Regiment commander, Battalion Commander Liu has been fighting there for a while, is it possible to arrange a retreat?" After being silent for a moment, Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai couldn't help but say with some concern. At this time, it is obvious that only a person like him, who has been in the independent regiment for a long time, has the courage to break this peace. Like Wang Shi, the commander of the guard battalion on the side, just listening to the sound of artillery in the distance, he already had a feeling that he couldn't breathe, don't talk at this time, even his heart can't calm down for a long time.

Shi stopped, shook his head categorically, and said: "The madman himself should have a number, when he can't stand it, don't let us speak, the first battalion will naturally withdraw, and giving an order at this time will disrupt his deployment and tactical strategy." ”

Wu Zihuai said: "I'm afraid that the devil will fight too hard, Battalion Commander Liu wants to withdraw but can't withdraw, this battle is different from the past, the main force of the devil is the most elite unit of all the Japanese army, the strength is not at all comparable to the enemy army we have encountered before, I don't know how many friendly troops are defeated in the hands of these Japanese troops, Battalion Commander Liu only has such five hundred and six people in his hands, I'm afraid it ......"

Shi was silent when he heard this, what the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces said was actually what he was thinking about, this battle is not easy to fight, the forward troops of the devils were ambushed by them once in the area of Huanghua Town before, and the losses were huge, how many troops are there now? If there is too much difference in the number of troops, with the geographical advantage that Xiaomin Mountain is not a steep one, I am afraid that this battle will be difficult to fight.

At this moment, Ou Zhanpeng rushed in quickly, and everyone couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw the dusty artillery company commander. Lin Xiufeng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly got up and asked, "Company Commander Ou, the regimental seat asked their artillery company to stay on the front line of Xiaomin Mountain to cooperate with the brothers of the first battalion to guard the position, why did you escape from the battle and come here?" ”

His words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the tall sledgehammer, and he sat there and snorted coldly and said: "Lin Tuanfu, the matter has not been clarified yet, don't indiscriminately button people's hats, no one in our Tiger Ben Regiment has escaped from the battle as a deserter." ”

Shi looked at the two of them dissatisfied, and immediately greeted them cordially and asked, "Company Commander Ou, how is the battle situation on the front line?" What damage did the brothers in the artillery company do? ”

Hearing the regiment commander's words of concern, Ou Zhanpeng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, compared to the regiment's words that were full of reproach just now, the regiment commander didn't mention their retreat at all, but was concerned about the loss of their artillery company brothers, just this kind of care made his heart warm, and he was at ease when he fought with such a commander. However, he still saluted everyone without being rude, and then said to the stone: "Tuanza, when our artillery company was withdrawn, the situation was not bad. Immediately, he briefly explained the situation at the front.

Hearing that Liu Wenfeng was unusual, and ordered the artillery unit to open fire first to break up the Japanese formation, Shi immediately took a long breath and said: "I was a little worried about the crazy people before, but now I heard what Company Commander Ou said, there should be no problem with the battle in Xiaomin Mountain." ”

Not to mention that Wang Shi and Shen Qingyun didn't understand it very well, but Lin Xiufeng and Wu Zihuai were a little confused, only the tall sledgehammer sat there and seemed to understand what the stone was saying, but they just remained calm and silent.

"Tuanza, the artillery company has withdrawn now, and a lone battalion is stationed in Xiaomin Mountain, how can there be no problem?" Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but ask after all.

Shi said calmly: "Originally, the artillery company was placed in Xiaomin Mountain, hoping to use the powerful firepower of the artillery company to repel the enemy troops when the battle was most difficult, so as to win a certain amount of rest time for the brothers of the first battalion. However, since the madman ordered the artillery company to attack in advance, and exposed the strength of our artillery in advance, he must have found a good opportunity to destroy the enemy. In this way, although the first battalion has a lack of rear hands, the attack of the artillery company must have dealt a fatal blow to the enemy, which is also the reason why the enemy's attack was so late than we expected. ”

Everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize, although they didn't know if what the stone said was consistent with the situation on the front line, but it sounded reasonable, and in any case, the first battalion seemed to have held on to the front line of Xiaomin Mountain for more time than they had originally expected, and from this point of view alone, Liu Wenfeng's use of the artillery company was still very successful.

At this time, another soldier from the reconnaissance company rushed to report the news, and the enemy cavalry appeared in the north of Xiaomin Mountain and the north of Yong'an Town.

After hearing the news, Shishi's expression did not change in the slightest, as if such an action of the enemy had already been expected by him. After the brothers of the reconnaissance company left, he said to the secretary and the ugly man on the side: "Send someone to inform Huzi, and the cavalry battalion will immediately send light cavalry to keep an eye on the movements of these devil cavalry, and if they dare to rob the idea of cutting off our rear road, they will attack from the flank of the devils." In addition, send someone to contact Zhang Donkey, and the reconnaissance company's energy should be put as much as possible on the other side ten miles north of the position, and if the enemy's troops were found moving south, they must report back as soon as possible. ”

While Shi was busy deploying troops here, the Japanese troops on the front line of Xiaomin Mountain had already begun to launch a strong attack on the position of the third company. With the cessation of one artillery piece, the Japanese machine gun squadron also killed at the foot of the mountain with the assault troops, and then they quickly established a machine gun position towards the top of the hill to suppress fierce firepower, and the strong fire of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns took over the artillery attack, and in an almost crazy attitude, they stormed the position of the national army above the hillside. At the same time, the Japanese infantry was not idle, and they continued to advance between machine gun fires, hoping to successfully take the position in front of them with the cover of friendly troops below.

The sound of "buzzing ......" resounded in Liu Wenfeng's ears, and he shook his head, the dirt and gravel that kept sliding down kept drilling into his clothes from the neckline, making his body feel very uncomfortable. However, instead of being annoyed, he grinned and scolded, "This time he survived." ”

The buzzing sound in his ears continued, Liu Wenfeng did not hastily and blindly observe the situation under the mountain, he turned his head to look at the back of his side, only to see countless bullets whistling above his head. Some didn't know where they flew, and some went straight into the dirt in the rear, leaving deep bullet holes. Seeing such a situation, he couldn't help but lower his head, and immediately moved to the side, along the way, his behavior woke up a lot of veterans of the third company, and their reactions were almost exactly the same as Liu Wenfeng, one by one pressed their bodies lower, and one by one they paid attention to the bullets flying down the mountain.

By the time he found a place where no bullets had swept through, the buzzing in his ears had finally disappeared, and he cautiously looked up from the trench, only to see several dense streams of earthy yellow people coming towards their place beneath the hillside. The slopes of the mountains are not steep, the mountains are not high, and the Japanese troops, with the help of previous artillery attacks and now machine gun suppression, have already broken through to the front of their most advanced position, perhaps in order not to wake them up, or perhaps the Japanese army is not aware of the defense on the mountain, and did not use * to attack at close range at this distance.

Seeing that the devil was about to break into the position, Liu Wenfeng was a little frightened, but his movements did not show the slightest panic, and he raised his gun from the trench in vain and aimed it at a Japanese soldier in front of him and pulled the trigger.

A "bang" shot rang out, and a Japanese soldier at the front of the hillside fell backwards in vain. And this gunshot was not prominent under the dense machine-gun fire at the bottom of the mountain, but it was unusually loud in everyone's hearts, and this gunfire was like a volcano detonating at this moment*, and it immediately kicked off the bloody battle.

The three companies of soldiers who survived the artillery suppression of the devils immediately raised their guns from the bunkers, trenches, and craters, and the devils were too close to them, at a distance of less than twenty or thirty steps, not to mention that their marksmanship was all very accurate, even a person who couldn't aim might hit the target, and even when they shot at the moment before they shot, they could see the frightened look of the devil in front of them. Even these veterans of the Japanese army, who are accustomed to fighting, cannot avoid that kind of unwillingness and fear before death.

And these Japanese soldiers also pulled the trigger almost instinctively and launched an attack on the enemy in front of them in a desperate posture. However, in this moment of lightning, the losses of the Japanese troops were far more than those of the brothers of the third company, and even this proportion reached an unimaginable exaggeration, because in this hasty attack, the Japanese guns were completely instinctive, and when the brothers of the third company attacked with the help of cover, they themselves had nowhere to hide, so after a fight, the Japanese army fell more than a dozen people in an instant.
