Section 194 Counterattack on Gao'an Ninety

Since the smuggling of the Jinjiang River in the early hours of yesterday morning, the 302nd Regiment has basically lost contact with the division headquarters, they are fighting alone, struggling to survive in the encirclement of the Japanese army, they have no time to care about anything else, and they don't know anything about the battle of Gao'an, the only bit of news they got was after they got in touch with the division headquarters after taking Dacheng, but they only knew that the army had taken Gao'an City and was attacking the enemy army on the front line of Chazishan, as for the more detailed and accurate information, I didn't know anything. And Yu Chengwan has been fighting on the front line of Gao'an, although they are on the flank of the army, they still have a very detailed understanding of the situation of the entire Gao'an battlefield.

Walking back and forth in the headquarters a few times with his hands behind his back, Yu Chengwan seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, and after being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "The battle of Gao'an, from the preliminary preparations to the development of the attack, all departments can be described as orderly, and until yesterday morning, the attack was launched, and its fierce artillery offensive directly destroyed the entire defense line of the Japanese army, almost erasing Gao'an City from the map. Therefore, it is not so much that the main force of our 74th Army attacked and took Gao'an, but that it was better to cover and bombard Gao'an taken by the enemy through unprecedented and powerful artillery fire. ”

Shi asked with some confusion: "Deputy division, our army's artillery unit has become so strong?" ”

Yu Chengwan shook his head and said: "It's not, it's just that the artillery unit has never had any good performance opportunities, and this time, after accumulating for so long, it happened to come across the terrain that is very suitable for artillery play, and it just burst out at one time." In the early stage, Gao'an's battle has always been fought by your group, and you know the damage of Gao'an best. Although the Japanese army was busy in Gao'an City for a while, they were unable to restore Gao'an's fortifications at all, and in the face of such a devastating artillery attack, collapse was inevitable, so the battle to take Gao'an City went very smoothly. ”

"However, the situation in Chazi Mountain is not very optimistic, although the fortifications here are also very simple, but the Japanese artillery can be supported, our artillery is much worse than the devil in terms of power, range, and accuracy, without artillery support, it is really unimaginable that the losses of the infantry alone are unimaginable. Yesterday afternoon, our 57th Division attacked the flank of the Japanese position from the Inner Yellow Line, and carried out a two-sided flank attack with the main army, but the situation could not be opened on the frontal battlefield for a long time, so that the advantages we had won in the early stage gradually disappeared, and we were really unwilling. Yu Chengwan couldn't help but grit his teeth when he thought of the fierce battle yesterday afternoon, obviously it could be seen from his words that the reason why they launched in the direction of Fengxin overnight was not because Chazishan did not need their containment, but that the flank battlefield had lost its meaning and had to find fighters again.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence, especially Shishi, who frowned even more. After a long time, Shi Shi raised his head and said, "Deputy Master, Gao'an is too far away from us at the moment, for now, let's hold on to the big city and buy more time for the main army." ”

Yu Chengwan had no choice at this time, and after nodding, he also redivided the defense line of Dacheng.

Because of the addition of the 339th Regiment, the strength of Dacheng at the moment has reached four or five thousand people, which is completely saturated for this town, after all, this is just a small town, there are so many streets and alleys before and after, and there is no room for so many troops to be stationed, even if the Japanese army has been operating here for a period of time in the early stage and has established a very complete defense system, but it is still unable to accommodate so many people. In order to maximize the combat effectiveness of so many troops, Yu Chengwan also decided to expand the defense area and expand the defense circle.

As Yu Chengwan and Zhou Yizhong said earlier, the overall defense of Dacheng still relies on the 302nd Regiment, with them as the main force. The 302nd Regiment was responsible for defending the two most important directions of Dacheng to Xiangfuguan and Xishan, while the 339th Regiment was responsible for the road to Fengxin and other places in the northwest. Although the entire 106th Division of the Japanese army exists on the front line of Fengxin, but on the periphery of Fengxin, the 49th Army and other troops have been attacking, and although the 339th Regiment was counterattacked in the previous ambush battle, the casualties of the Japanese army itself are also very heavy, and it is very difficult to organize an attack in a short period of time. In this way, although Ayutthaya nominally has a regiment of friendly troops to join, in fact, this battle is basically fought by their 302nd regiment.

This arrangement naturally made Liu Wenfeng and others very dissatisfied, why should they fight as a team, but the credit is to be divided between two groups, which is inevitably too unfair.

Wu Zihuai had seen the 339th Regiment fight, to be honest, he was used to seeing the 302nd Regiment's momentum like a rainbow like a bamboo, and then looked at the performance of the 339th Regiment in the ambush battle, he was very worried about the combat effectiveness of friendly troops, and it was obvious that with the combat effectiveness of a company of the regimental headquarters, I am afraid that it would be enough to be worthy of a battalion of friendly troops, and it is really unlikely that such a unit can provide any help. For such an arrangement, he also felt that it was quite reasonable, otherwise if he really had to count on this friendly army, he was afraid that something big would happen, but he didn't dare to say this.

Lin Xiufeng said squeakily: "The 339th Regiment is a guest from afar, and it suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, so it is also within its capacity to defend all the way. ”

As soon as his words came out, he attracted a lot of scolding, especially Liu Taiping, because he repeatedly insulted Shangguan and colleagues, his status in the 302nd regiment was reduced again and again, but his temper couldn't be changed, as soon as Lin Xiufeng opened his mouth, he scolded: "Lin Tuanfu, what kind of fart are you doing?" The 339 regiment suffered heavy losses, and our regiment was fully staffed? What kind of hard battle did their regiment fight? Three thousand people can't fight an ambush battle, and they are embarrassed to say losses? Phew! It's all to blame for the incompetence of the officials. ”

Shi and the others couldn't help but change their faces greatly, this guy's mouth is really deadly, this is going to be heard by the friendly troops of the 57th Division, maybe something will happen. Lin Xiufeng's scolded face was blue and red for a while, and he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal. Shi saw that it was not okay to be silent anymore, and couldn't help but say with a serious face: "Okay, let's not say a word, no matter what, there are more friendly troops of the 57th Division in Dacheng, and the overall defense force is greatly enhanced. ”

As he spoke, Shi Shi glanced at Liu Wenfeng again and said: "Don't keep thinking about others robbing you of your merits, no matter how much you have to go back, the brothers are all fighting here, what do you want these false names for?" ”

Liu Wenfeng snorted coldly when he heard this, he didn't argue, they trust the stone 100 percent, they can have today, it's not all the light stained with the stone, otherwise, it's hard to say whether they can survive until now, not to mention that they all became officers one by one and became the battalion commander and company commander who couldn't imagine before.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Shi continued to arrange: "Since Dacheng now has enough troops, let's fight with the devils steadily, Xiangfuguan has many scouts to monitor, and leave a battalion of machine gun companies to garrison." The position in the northeast was in charge of the second battalion, and the third battalion went to Dengfang in the southeast to rest and be on guard, ready to be called at any time. ”

"Yes," everyone answered in a loud voice almost at the same time.

In the following time, the various departments began to repair the fortifications, because their numbers were too large, in addition to the stone arranged the third battalion to the area of Dengfang, which is two miles away from the big city, the commander of the 339th regiment, Zhou, also sent a part of the troops to the front line of Songjiazhuang, three miles away, to build peripheral fortifications.

Songjiazhuang is the dilapidated small village where the stone led everyone to meet the friendly army of the 57th Division, the Japanese army has been destroyed by the Japanese army beyond recognition, but the geographical location here is really critical, and setting up a defensive line here can bring a great buffer to the big city, greatly lengthening the strategic depth, the combat effectiveness of the 339th Regiment may be average, but the vision and command ability of Yu Chengwan and Zhou Yizhong and others still have something unique, such as the construction of positions, they are familiar with the road, Fadu Senran, after the deployment of their troops, the momentum is very majestic, The entire line of defense is also connected as a single reinforcement to each other.

The Japanese troops in Fengxin and Xishan, perhaps because they had suffered a lot of losses in the previous two battles, did not attack Dacheng again until dark, and only at dusk the familiar "dusk offensive" of the Japanese army made them eat "mud and dust" again, which made the brothers of the two regiments scold.

At night, Shi rushed to the headquarters with Lin Xiufeng, Wu Zihuai, Liu Taiping, Zheng Yongchang and others, Liu Wenfeng and several of their battalion commanders wanted to personally command the troops on the position, and there were only a few people in the regiment who could take out their hands. After all, an officer like Shi who has no background, no backstage, and has risen from the grassroots level step by step completely on the head of the devil, there is no room for rise in the back, especially since it is rumored that he is still an idiot who doesn't understand anything, in this case, who wants to follow him?

And who are Wu Zihuai, Liu Taiping, and Zheng Yongchang? Either they can't get along in other places, or people like Liu Taiping are annoying, except for the stone that treats them as treasures, others won't even look at them directly. After staying in the 302 regiment for a long time, Wu Zihuai and others also felt that the stone was different from other officers, if the 302 regiment was just a choice they didn't choose at the beginning, then at this moment, they really want to do a career here, after all, as a Chinese man, who doesn't have a lot of enthusiasm? Who doesn't want to kill the enemy and serve the country?

After fighting so many battles with the stones, they changed their previous depression, raised their heads one by one, and even walked with extraordinary momentum, as soon as they walked into the headquarters, they immediately made the officers of the 339th Regiment feel a great pressure.
