Section 255 The devil is coming

"Kill the little devil for revenge!" In the evacuating crowd, a gray-haired veteran suddenly stopped in vain and shouted loudly, his expression even more sad and indignant.

His voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. Originally, they retreated almost like the walking dead, and they didn't have the heart to pay attention to other things, but now they found that there were such old companions among their companions, and they couldn't help but be surprised. Seeing that the rank of this veteran was nothing more than a senior soldier, they felt even more sad.

"Yes, we can't go, we can't withdraw so gloomy. The platoon commander, company commander, and battalion commander are all dead, and there are only a few of us left in a battalion, what are we doing when we are still alive? Fight with the devil here, pull a few cushions and go on the road with the brothers. A veteran also roared with murderous anger, venting his unwillingness.

These soldiers, who had been aroused to fight, immediately gathered together, and after a brief exchange, they found that among these twenty or thirty people, there were no acquaintances at all, and all of them were brothers who were scattered from various units of the 5th Division. Among them, the highest rank and official rank was a lieutenant company, in his forties, with dark skin, thin body, and very inconspicuous. If it weren't for the fact that they were wearing completely different military uniforms, I am afraid that no one would pay much attention to it in the crowd. And this man, at this time, became their commander without dispute.

This lieutenant's name is Tian Dazhuang, when he broke through, the whole company was broken up by the devils, and he took a dozen brothers in the company to see that there was no chance of survival, so he summoned up the courage and rushed straight to the devil's pile. I don't know if his courage frightened the Japanese soldiers in front of him, or if in that case, the devil was not interested in besieging such a small group of men and horses at the cost of killing them, but after a bloody battle, he successfully fought his way out of the encirclement with three or four brothers. Unfortunately, the soldiers were covered in wounds, and in the absence of medical conditions, the last one died of excessive bleeding, leaving him alone.

Thinking of the scene that happened yesterday, and thinking that all the brothers in the whole company were probably dead, and only one was left alone, Tian Dazhuang couldn't help but feel sad from his heart. He indifferently glanced at the temporary 5th Senior Brother beside him, who were ragged and covered in blood, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anyone else who doesn't want to die?" Now hurry up to Cili and you should still be able to find our brothers in the 73rd Army, it is not easy to pick up a life, even if you leave the army and go home now, no one will dare to say that we didn't plant. ”

Everyone was silent, no one did anything, just stared at the lieutenant officer one by one.

"I'll ask again, is there anyone who doesn't want to die yet, you can still go now, the big guys can fight devils under the same baton flag, that's all the Pao Ze brothers, go now, we can all understand. However, if you stay on the battlefield, it will be too late to leave, and when the time comes, don't say that the devil will not agree, and the gun in my hand will not agree. As he spoke, Tian Dazhuang's voice gradually became cold.

However, his shouting did not get any answer, although some of the twenty or thirty people could not even stand steadily, and half of them did not even have weapons, but they all looked on their faces, and there was no fear in their eyes.

"Okay, in that case, then let's fight the devil here today. We also have a second lieutenant, a sergeant, and a corporal here, and the three of you will temporarily serve as the squad leader, and each of you will pick eight people to form a squad, and I will serve as the platoon leader for the time being. Once assembled, all the weapons were gathered and divided into three squads. However, let's go to the friendly brothers stationed here and see if we can get some weapons from them. Although Tian Dazhuang is not good-looking, he speaks and does things very methodically, just a few simple words, which is to arrange the things here properly.

"Sir, what if we can't get a gun?" The gray-haired veteran couldn't help but ask with some concern.

Tian Dazhuang shook his head and said: "Probably not, I think this army is well-disciplined and well-equipped, and it has given us the dry food and fried rice that I brought with us to our brothers who have withdrawn, so there should be extra weapons." After a deep sigh, he couldn't help but say: "Even if you really can't borrow it, it doesn't matter, we can wait until the battle is fierce and stalemate to kill and snatch it from the devil." ”

The veteran couldn't help but nodded, the worry in his heart was obviously gone, and the chief thought that things were thoughtful, and there was no need to worry about it anymore.

The position in this area of Chisong Mountain is garrisoned by a battalion to guard such a position, and all units of the independent regiment have extremely rich experience, especially the first battalion, two years ago in the battle in Changsha, they were in Yong'an Town's Xiaomin Mountain to hit the devil, so that the whole regiment's task of breaking off was successfully completed, so that the independent regiment could withdraw to Liuyang with peace of mind.

Handed over the defense of the area around Chisong Mountain to the first battalion, not only because the first battalion is good at this kind of battle, but also because the strength of the first battalion is there, and after such a long time of not fighting, the stone also needs to use a big victory to boost morale, so that the soldiers of the whole regiment can regain the invincible and invincible state of the past.

However, the situation there is still a little different between Akamatsu Mountain and Xiaomin Mountain. The mountain terrain of Xiaomin Mountain is relatively flat, and the front is very open, which is very suitable for large-scale troop confrontation between the two armies. The mountain of Akamatsu Mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the devil wants to storm Akamatsu Mountain, and the price will be extremely staggering. There is still a long distance between the north side of the mountain and the water tank, so it is not surprising that the vicinity of the official road is the main place where the devils attack. Because of this, Liu Wenfeng arranged the second company on Chisong Mountain, set the position of the third company on the official road, and behind the third company, it was the first company.

The three infantry companies were almost arranged in a zigzag formation, although the strength was not very large, but it was just right to cut off the road for the devils to advance westward, and set up a solid forward position on the northeast road of Cili.

Behind the first battalion, the second and third battalions were arranged in turn, and there was also a cavalry battalion watching from the side. They have formed several solid positions here, if this can't stop the onslaught of the devils, it means that the strength of the enemy army in front of them is far from being comparable to them, and in this way, it is not their control. After all, they are only an independent regiment, and they are the lowest combat unit on this kind of theater-level battlefield, and if they really want to be able to stand alone on such a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, I am afraid that they must have at least the strength of an army.

Cheng Chongzheng was inspecting the defensive lines on the battlefield of the Third Company, explaining the timing of the firing of the machine gun positions and checking if there was anything missing. Immediately afterward, he received news from the signal corps, saying that a group of friendly soldiers who had previously withdrawn had come to the rear of the position and wanted to borrow some weapons from them.

Hearing this news, Cheng Zhong couldn't help but be shocked, this kind of unexpected thing is sometimes the most dangerous thing on the battlefield. The retreating soldiers are still combat-ready? Cheng Zhong couldn't believe it, and what made him even more alert was that the timing of these people's appearance was really weird, could there be a problem? Could it be that the devil sent a spy who wants to take the opportunity to solve and seize the position?

But this kind of thing is really unlikely, in a hurry, where will the devil find these people? If it is said that it is dressed up as a puppet army, is the number of people a little less?

Cheng Zhong couldn't figure it out for a while, but he didn't think about it anymore after a deep sigh, and said in a deep voice to the signal soldier on the side: "Take them to the position of the first company, tell Company Commander Wang, let him take care of these people, it is best to persuade them to go to Cili, if they can't be persuaded to leave, let them stay with the first company, don't come here to make trouble." ”

The signal soldier was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, he agreed, and ran quickly towards the way he came.

At this time, there was also a strange movement in the distance ahead, and I saw that on the horizon in the distance, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared, rushing towards them at a very fast speed. This made the soldiers of the third company look up, but soon they lost interest in these cavalry, because they knew very well that this was just a scout of the devil, and the main force of the devil was still behind. It will take some time for these devil scouts to report back the news they have found, and then to the devil's infantry.

Sure enough, these cavalry came and went faster, and from a distance they found the position of the third company here, and after looking around, they rushed towards the main force without hesitation. The Japanese infantrymen who received the news also immediately scattered in all directions, like a big net, heading for this place.

"Haraguchi-kun, there is a position of the Shina army ahead, you have to be careful." One of the scouts couldn't help but say hello when he saw the officers of the forward army rushing to the forefront of the troops. Although one of the two is a second lieutenant and the other is a lieutenant, the relationship between the two seems to be unusual.

When Haradagawa heard this, he couldn't help blinking a pair of small eyes and asked, "What did Aizu-kun find?" Or did you fight with the person in front of you? ”

The leader of the scout squad shook his head and said: "I don't know how to use cavalry to attack the enemy's position head-on, naturally I haven't fought with the enemy, but since the people of China dare to set up a formation here, they are obviously ready for battle." Haraguchi-kun, according to the information we have discovered, the 'Tiger Force' of the Shina Army has arrived here, so you should be careful. And my feeling is also very bad, I'm afraid that something will really happen, and these troops in front of me give me an indescribable sense of danger, which is really strange. ”
