Section 52 [The Second Update]
Shi Shi and the others listened carefully to Li Wenguang's account of what happened at the battalion headquarters, after all, the battalion commander's orderly soldiers had much more contact than them, and under Li Wenguang's deliberate inquiry, they still had a little bit of a clue, plus the analysis of their nonsense, they still had a little bit of a thorough understanding of the current situation in their row.
Should it be that the two brigade commanders had different opinions about how to defeat the Japanese troops on the line of the Koyanagi River, around the positions of their platoon? said that it was a position, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that there was nothing special about such a narrow position in a row, and the most important thing was the stone bridge across the north and south of Xiaoliuhe, which could connect the north and south and quickly penetrate to the throat of Luodian. If the bridge is blown up, the devils on the north bank of the Xiaoliu River don't need to say for the time being, the devils in the original second row position on the south bank, if they want to withdraw, the price they will pay will be great, of course, let the devils go across the river and then fight, this is also a good choice, it can be seen that after seeing the strength and cunning of the devils, can the seemingly good plan really be implemented? When the time comes, maybe the Japanese army will be able to make some kind of demons.
"Stone, we can't even make up two classes now." Lao Meng said with a heavy face, his old face was full of regret, no matter what the people above thought, at the moment, the most direct problem for them is that even if they want to defend this position, I am afraid they may not be able to hold it.
Shi Wen Yan nodded, but there was no expression on his pale face, maybe it was because he had experienced too much blood, he had been completely numb, in the face of this kind of thing related to life and death, he seemed indifferent, stretching out his head is also a knife, shrinking his head is also a knife, sooner or later it will be death, it is better to find a way to pull a few more pads before he dies.
After a long while, Shi Shi finally spoke: "The battalion commander is different from the others, since Wenguang has brought the order, then we can only follow it." ”
Lao Meng, Liu Wenfeng, Xiao Shandong, etc. nodded one after another, Battalion Commander Zheng is the only officer left in the third company, and his orders should be absolutely obeyed, the kind of feelings that belong to the same banner are usually invisible and intangible, but at this time, it is like an invisible force that binds them together.
"But what the old man said is also right, we have too few people now, according to the previous way of playing, let alone guarding until dark, the next attack of the devil, whether it can be withstood is a question." Liu Wenfeng said with a frown.
The stone seemed to have an idea, and said firmly and forcefully: "Gather the manpower, retreat to the hillside, let Brother Zhuzi throw away the position in front of him, control the cemetery, and gather together, and the devil will be taken care of when he comes again." ”
Lao Meng stroked the cigarette stick, frowned, felt the thick blood and unpleasant smell around him, and couldn't help but worry: "Gathering together, of course, is a concentration of strength, but what if the devil's artillery bombards it?" Maybe one shot will fall, and we'll all be finished. ”
Shi shook his head and said: "The devil's artillery has been relatively fierce in the past two days, and it is estimated that there are not many shells left, but the old man's concern is also reasonable, since this is the case, then Brother Zhuzi and they should not move for the time being, and dragging it on the front line can also consume a little of the devil's energy and shells, let's retreat up the hill, if there is really anything, we can also go up in time." ”
Liu Wenfeng pointed to the piles of corpses beside him and asked, "What should I do here?" This thing is a great drain on the brothers' mental and physical strength. ”
"How's the injury on your back?" Instead of answering his question, the stone cared for his body.
Liu Wenfeng glanced at the stone suspiciously, and replied a little puzzled: "It's not a big deal, it didn't hurt the bones, except for a little pain when I exerted my strength, it didn't have any effect, otherwise, I would have been disemboweled" by the little devil just now." ”
"That's it, the people of your third class stay here and drag the devils with their rifles, how many can you kill, and the devils will be withdrawn if they press up." Listening to their opinions, Shi made some changes to the original decision, although he still concentrated his forces together, but the second and third squads that remained at the forefront occupied their original positions, and while confusing and delaying the Japanese offensive, they were like two tentacles, and they could flexibly adjust the development of the battle situation in time.
Seeing his painful expression, Xiao Shandong naturally came over to help, beckoning Li Wenguang to quickly carry the stone to the top of the hillside, and Lao Meng commanded a group of people and brothers to evacuate, while also telling everyone what things they needed to take away, such as those steel helmets and kettles and other things, which looked inconspicuous, but were very useful, put these things in front of the position for emergency, It can still play a good protective role.
After settling the stones, Xiao Shandong rushed to the position of the second squad along the cemetery in front of the hillside, and told him how the battle would be fought next, according to the meaning of the stone, they no longer need to retreat here like before, even if they let the devil cross the bridge, as long as they have not been completely annihilated, as long as the small hillside is still guarded and firmly nailed here, their task will be completed.
At noon, about two hours after the early morning attack, the Japanese army launched another fierce offensive, but, to their surprise, when the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Xiaoliu River launched an offensive, there was also a burst of intensive gunfire and continuous explosions on the position of the original second platoon.
The flank attack that was originally worried about did not appear, it should be that other friendly forces are launching a counteroffensive and preparing to recapture the position of the second platoon, in this case, the Japanese troops crossing the river are too busy to take care of themselves, where can they still threaten them! Without worries, the defense line of the first platoon did not bear much pressure, especially with the fire support on the hillside, the difficulty of the attacker was obviously increased several times, and the Japanese troops on the north bank of the river also found that the situation was wrong after cutting three axes, and the two machine guns of the second squad had tacit cross-fire, and under the mutual care, the devils did not achieve the slightest effect except for dropping a dozen corpses.
In such a situation of encircling each other and intertwining their teeth, the two armies that were supposed to fight to the death kept their troops unmoving, and the armies on the north and south banks of the Xiaoliu River seemed to have fallen into some kind of strange stalemate.
In this suffocating wait, the sky finally gradually dimmed, the stone looked at the light that gradually dimmed around, there was an incredible feeling, when he heard Li Wenguang's words in the morning, he was still worried that a few people would survive, and he did not have the slightest confidence in whether he could hold this position, however, the current situation was too surprising, they did not bear any pressure, it can be said that after the bloody battle in the early morning, Basically, they have never faced the onslaught of devils.
In this incomprehensible and confused mood, everyone silently ate the dry food collected from the devil, and filled their stomachs with water, although it was dark, but no one had the slightest sleep, but one by one the boss stared at the boss, carefully observing the surroundings to prevent being touched by the devil.
Time passed in this mutual vigilance, and the thick black fog, unconsciously of everyone, struck again, enveloping their bodies and wrapping their whole bodies.
It was dark, but the battalion headquarters did not send someone to convey the order, which made everyone's eyes involuntarily look at Li Wenguang's figure, under the cover of night, the three people of the third class had merged with the corpses of those devils, they were motionless, making people feel that there were still living people there, which also made them remain silent and did not break the current peace.
Shi Shi fell into contemplation alone, and after becoming a platoon commander, he found that he spent much more time thinking with his brain than when he was a soldier, and seemed to be thinking about different things and changing situations all day long. Now, the task that the battalion commander asked Li Wenguang to convey has been completed, but after the task is completed, what should they do next? Stay behind? Or do you want to withdraw and recuperate?
If he barely held the position after a bloody battle in the afternoon, he would definitely not hesitate to evacuate with a row of the only remaining brothers at this moment, but the current situation is too weird, he gave up the position he had held for so long in vain, and his heart was naturally full of unwillingness, and now they still have three machine guns, and more than a dozen rifles, not to mention that the combat effectiveness is strong, and it is not weak to say that it is weak. Since he woke up in the southern suburbs of Luodian, every time they left the position, they were captured by devils, and there was really no longer the conditions to hold on, but now, it was obviously not to the point of exhaustion.
Shi felt that it was better to stand still and wait and see what it would be, he wanted to find out what the battalion commander and their thoughts were first, and also wanted to see if the devils would have any kind of actions tonight, at night, as long as they survived this long night, it was estimated that everything would fall out, thinking, Shi's fists were also clenched unconsciously, and then he said firmly to Lao Meng beside him: "Uncle, let Brother Zhu and the madman be smart, tonight, let's compete with the devil again to see how capable they are!" ”
Lao Meng immediately replied: "You lie down with peace of mind, when did the little devil reap the benefits on us?" ”
