Section 120 Lack of succession

The sun finally peeked out from behind the thick clouds, and it hung lazily in the sky, looking at the world below it nonchalantly, as if it couldn't lift any spirits.

However, the clarity of the sky finally brought warmth to the world, the sun shining on people's bodies, gradually dispelling the chill that enveloped the whole body, and gradually evaporating the cold dew left at night, in the autumn and winter alternate seasons, people feel a trace of vitality from the endless gloom. Stone looked at the foot of the mountain with a cold face, where bursts of artillery fire roared, bursts of piercing shouts to kill, from dawn to now, there was no moment's rest, the Japanese army was in a desperate situation, it seemed that it was really crazy, since yesterday with huge casualties to take the east side of Zhanggu Mountain, today sent an additional brigade or so of troops to rush here, began to attack the southwest side of Zhanggu Mountain frantically.

In this narrow area, in this situation where there is no depth and no way to retreat, the officers and men of the 302nd Regiment fought to the death, although the Japanese offensive was like a tide, and the attack was launched from three directions, but most of the day passed, and there was almost no progress, the blue sky and the red battle flag were all over the ground, like a scarred giant, although it looked quite difficult to shake, but it still floated on the hillside, floating at the foot of the mountain, and floating on the position of every 302nd regiment.

"Tuanza, Lin Tuan attached a report, from the early morning to the present, the regimental headquarters company has lost 21 people and wounded 37 people, including 12 seriously wounded, now, he has let the reconnaissance company replace the defense line of the regiment headquarters company, and there is no problem with the position in a short period of time, Lin Tuan attached that according to the current situation, as long as the ammunition is enough, he is confident that he will hold until dark tomorrow!" Wu Zihuai's voice interrupted Shishi's thoughts, and he couldn't hide his excitement as he reported the current situation and the gains and losses of several battlefields.

Shi nodded slowly, at this moment, where is the slightest immaturity in his body, his every move in the face of the bloody battle, all show his resolute character like a calm mountain, showing his calm temperament that Mount Tai collapsed on the top but was invisible.

This is a kind of perseverance cultivated through a hundred battles, this is a strong self-confidence forged by one victory after another, and this is a kind of indifference that has long ignored life and death.

"What's the situation with the Third Battalion?" The stone looked at the foot of the mountain and asked without looking back.

"Liu Taiping since last night after the division of troops, firmly in their own position, no longer a step forward, although the east and south of the border is wide, but the real passable, or the traffic trench, in the case of being completely blocked, the Japanese want to kill in, the possibility is really small, but the Japanese army in the front of the three battalions of the attack is more ferocious, although we at the foot of the mountain in front of the Japanese army wave after wave of charge, but I think this must be the Japanese army's containment force." Wu Zihuai said slowly while thinking.

"Did Liu Taiping ask for help?" Stone asked calmly, in this case, he became more and more calm.

Wu Zihuai said: "No, Battalion Commander Liu should know that we have no reinforcements, and whether they can hold the positions everywhere can only rely on themselves." ”

Shi Shi thought for a while, and then said: "Tell Liu Taiping that if the defense line is tight, all the three battalions on the top of the mountain will be transferred back, and he will do something clever to attack up and down, but it is just a labor injury, I asked him to take the initiative to attack the devil and not let the enemy rest, but I didn't let him take back the lost position in the east for me." ”

As he spoke, Shi sneered and said: "If you really want that position in the east, when the 153rd Brigade was still there yesterday, we directly sent people over to reinforce it, wouldn't everything be solved?" Do you still need to wait for the devils to occupy us before attacking? Although this Liu cannon has a lot of ghosts and can fight, there are some things that are still too simple to think about. ”

Wu Zihuai said on the side: "I don't blame Battalion Commander Liu, it's really Brigade Commander Zhang's idea is too incredible, even dare to think and dare to do this kind of thing, it's really ......."

Shi Shi turned his head and looked at his chief of staff with a sad face, but he said indifferently: "Fighting a war is originally desperate, it is gambling, sometimes it is very necessary to take a little risk, and it is still very necessary to lose a little more, just like now, although the devils have surrounded us, their own troops are also very weak because of the expansion of the defense line." ”

As he spoke, Shi suddenly laughed, "We still have more than a thousand people here, and the devils attacked from four directions, and the troops of equal strength were divided into four, although they adjusted to achieve the purpose of feints and main attacks, but the difference in strength in general will not be too much." Ping stretched out his hand, and the stone smiled: "It's like a hand, like a fist to hit it, the strength of a large team of devils, I'm afraid it will make us very uncomfortable, even if we can defend it, the loss is amazing, now, the devil's five fingers are open, and he attacks our fist with his fingers, as long as we wave our fists, we can easily break his fingers." Moreover, the position on the east side of the devil has been fighting for a day, and the defense is not stable, and we have to guard against our backlash at any time, so it is even more troublesome in terms of manpower allocation. ”

"Boom ......" A fierce cannon sound came, and the entire Zhang Gushan seemed to tremble. Wu Zihuai looked at the left, and the thick smoke rising from the sky everywhere shrouded the sky above the southern foot like a dark cloud, and the momentum was quite amazing, and he couldn't help but change his face and said: "Tuanza, the devil is about to launch a fierce attack on the position of the third battalion." ”

Shi Shi said disapprovingly: "Tell Lin Tuanfu that when the devils attack the southern foothills, that is, when they counterattack, don't be afraid of losses, our troops are about the same as the devils, and we can afford to spend them." ”

"Eight Gyalu!" Half an hour later, an angry roar came from the headquarters of the Soviet Japanese army in the arrow furnace southwest of Zhanggushan, and Yoshio Sonoda, the commander of the capital wing (147th wing) under the 111th Brigade of the Japanese infantry, stared at the communications officer in front of him with wide eyes, eager to eat him alive.

"Tell me again." Yoshio Sonoda didn't seem to believe the report he heard, and after roaring, he stared at the inverted frieze in front of him and said word by word.

Although this communications officer was covered in blood, although he had just withdrawn from the battlefield and was almost paralyzed in fright when he saw the wing-leader's terrifying expression at this moment, he still re-reported the situation on the front line after taking a deep breath.

The position in the west was attacked by the enemy, and the remaining squad did not retreat, the whole team was annihilated, and the unobstructed enemy even outflanked and detoured to the position and artillery position in the west.

Yoshio Sonoda was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the enemies surrounded by them actually tore through their encirclement so easily, but instead gave them heavy losses, which is also called encirclement and annihilation? After fighting for a long time, he finally suppressed the enemy on the mountain, and when he quietly concentrated his firepower and prepared to storm the defense line at the southern foothills, he was actually caught by the opponent and ate a small team, and this kind of heavy loss was undoubtedly unacceptable.

Yoshio Sonoda has been fighting for so many years, and it is the first time he has encountered this situation, and he is a little out of proportion for a while with his angry beard and glare. The enemy in front of them was too powerful, they held all positions in the mountains, fighting with them without fear, and in this desperate situation surrounded by groups, they actually dared to rush out of the position and assault without fear, this ferocious means suddenly hit their soft flanks.

There is no doubt that the offensive from the south cannot continue, and the priority is to block the opening to the west and re-block the encirclement. The enemy tore through the defense line so easily, but did not break through, obviously will not be easily evacuated, the battle in front of him, at present, it seems that there are still fights, who will kill the deer, it is not yet known, but it is obvious that from the morning to the present series of battles, they are undoubtedly obviously at a disadvantage. Their enemies are not only brave and good at fighting, but their commanders are also extremely powerful, and in the face of such enemies, the slightest carelessness can be very costly, just like now.

After Yoshio Sonoda was angry, he gradually calmed down, he had a gloomy face, no longer paid attention to the frightened half-dead communications officer, walked out of the command post, and quietly looked at Zhang Gushan not far ahead.

The smoke of gunpowder after the explosion shrouded this low mountain, but at this moment, facing the mountain in front of him, Yoshio Sonoda had a feeling of powerlessness, the difficulty of this battle was really beyond his imagination, it seemed that since entering the area of Wanjialing, bad luck has always been with them. Sometimes Yoshio Sonoda even wondered if there was really something wrong with the battle plan drawn up by the army commander and the division commander.

Of course, as soon as this idea appeared, he was frightened into a cold sweat, and immediately shook his head to dispel these negative thoughts, with his current status and identity, how could he discuss the decision-making of the military command? He couldn't help but force himself to refocus his thoughts on the battlefield in front of him, but something more painful was coming. Because no matter how hard he racks his brains now, he finds a fact that cannot be changed, and that is that they are seriously understaffed.

The army in his hands is too small, not enough to be deployed, if his capital wing still maintains the pre-war establishment and strength, where can a small Zhang Gushan make him so worried? But now, according to their calculations, the enemy in front of them is clearly more than a battalion, maybe even a regiment, and may be much more numerous than them.

It was too difficult to fight a battle to storm the defense line of a battalion or even a regiment of the opposing side with a brigade. What's more, the commander of the other party is still a rather clever opponent, which makes it even more difficult.
