Section 111 Bloody Battle of Wanjialing Response

Nibbling on dry food with cold water, the officers and men of the 153rd Brigade seized the time to replenish their physical strength. They have a lot of experience in fighting, and they know that once the battle starts, they may not have a rest for several days and nights, so it has become the most important thing to fill their stomachs during the gap between battles. Of course, it would be nice if you could take a nap.

Ordinary officers and soldiers can rest, but Zhang Lingfu, Tang Shenghai, Chang Xiaode and other officers are not in such a mood, they gathered together at this moment, looked at the Japanese troops under the mountain with solemn expressions, and constantly discussed the battle situation.

Tang Shenghai has been staying on the last line of defense to command the reserves, and he had watched the Pao Ze brothers fighting on the front line, and they could only wait for the order, which couldn't help but make him anxious, and he couldn't help but rush down with a bayonet and fight a bloody battle with the devil. However, the battlefield is a battlefield after all, and without orders, even if he watches his brothers fall one by one, there is nothing he can do.

At this moment, he couldn't help but say: "Zhonglin, let's transfer the reserves, the losses in this battle are too great, and from last night to now, the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to bear it." ”

Zhang Lingfu thought about it, shook his head slowly, he sighed, and said helplessly: "The reserve team can't move, this is the last bit of strength in our hands, once the fight is over, we will all have to be here, until the last resort, the reserve team must not be mobilized." ”

Chang Xiaode looked at the crooked and fallen soldiers around him, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "Otherwise, let's ask the 302 regiment for help, there are still thousands of people there in the stone, and I rested for a night yesterday, as long as one or two companies can be dispatched over, we will be able to breathe a sigh of relief here, and when the main force comes over to join us, Zhang Gushan will be defended." ”

"Lao Chang, I'm afraid that we're just a feint here!" Zhang Lingfu thought for a while and said: "In addition to defending the western slopes, the 302nd Regiment also has to take into account the southern direction, the entire defense line is much longer than ours, and the stones are arranged in three defense lines before and after, and the manpower deployment is estimated to be very tight, if you ask for help from the 302nd Regiment, whether it is in the west or in the south, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the offensive of the devils, and it is no different from the current situation." ”

Tang Shenghai and Chang Xiaode were at a loss, defensive battles, to put it bluntly, are fighting for consumption, weapons and ammunition, and troop supplies, whoever can keep up with the rhythm of consumption will be able to win the final victory, and what makes them helpless is that they are obviously at an absolute disadvantage at the moment, not only to suffer from the bombardment of the plane above the devil's head, but also to have problems with the replenishment of follow-up soldiers, according to the original plan, the rest of the 153 Brigade on standby not far from Zhang Gushan at this moment should quickly rush to the mountain to join them under the command of the brigade. However, most of the day passed, and there was still no sign of them, and it was obvious that they were blocked by the devils.

Foreign aid cannot be counted on for the time being, and it is obviously not an easy thing for the units of the 153 Brigade to break through the resistance of the devils who have been transferred a large number of backbone elites, but the reinforcements that are close at hand cannot be transferred for various reasons, and they can only rely on themselves.

At this moment, Chang Xiaode's face changed dramatically and he pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "The devil's reinforcements have arrived." ”

Everyone on the side looked down the mountain, their faces changed greatly, and Zhang Lingfu shouted directly: "Get up, all the brothers get up, the devil is coming up." ”

"Boom!" A cannonball slammed into the mountainside with a whistling sound, and the violent explosion set off a scorching wave of air that could almost roast people, and the devil seemed to be greatly boosted by the arrival of reinforcements, and he couldn't wait to launch an artillery attack on the mountain, as if he was demonstrating, and as if venting his anger that had fallen short.

Immediately, more shells rushed up the hill, and although they were far from being compared to the bombardment of planes in the early morning, the shells were shells, and their terrifying power was avoidable.

Facing Zhang Gushan Mountain, Shi looked up at the gray sky, and was dazed, and in the gray sky, there seemed to be something that attracted all his attention, so that he didn't even blink his eyes. Liu Wenfeng listened to the explosions in the distance, rubbed his hands involuntarily, he opened his mouth to speak, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed hard. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head helplessly, shut up and walked to the side. He didn't want to disturb Shishi's thoughts, the more critical the time, the more he had to let Shishi think about it alone, his tall and burly body now bears the lives of thousands of brothers, and there is no room for the slightest mistake.

After a long time, Shi slowly lowered his head and said as if muttering, "The cannon sound is much weaker, the machine gun has already sounded, and the devil has begun to charge again." ”

Seeing that the stone had returned to normal, Wu Zihuai on the side immediately asked impatiently: "Tuanzuo, this is the devil's second attack, except for the fact that we started to hit the devil by surprise, but there is no movement at all, is the devil's main attack direction really in the east?" ”

"Why don't we rush and take a look? You can't just stay here and watch the 153 Brigade fight! Liu Wenfeng rubbed his hands and said with some eagerness.

"There is no need to take the initiative to attack the devils, this place is too close to Nantianpu, even if they eat the devils under the mountain, their reinforcements can come in time, and the effect is very limited, of course, if we are now a whole division in Zhanggushan, then we have to say something else. Still, it is better to transfer two companies from our side to the south, and once the 153rd Brigade asks for help, it can mobilize troops nearby to reinforce it, and it can join the battlefield in the shortest possible time. Wu Zihuai said disapprovingly.

"Does Brigade Commander Zhang have an order to come over?" Hearing this, the stone thought for a while and asked.

"No, there is no other news except that Brigade Commander Zhang agreed to our arming reply in the morning. Battalion Commander Liu sent a lot of people to pay attention to the situation in the east, it is said that it is very bad, the devils are attacking too badly, the 153 Brigade is relying on hand-to-hand combat to drive the devils out of the position, the devils have relaunched the attack in such a short period of time, it seems that they should have received reinforcements. Zheng Yongchang immediately replied on the side.

Shi nodded, and then walked slowly in the trench silently, because there was still Lin Xiufeng stationed with a reconnaissance company and a regimental headquarters company under the mountainside, and they were very safe here, but they didn't need to be too careful.

After a moment of silence, the stone suddenly stopped, raised his head firmly, and said, "Order, all companies rest except for the necessary sentries left behind!" ”

Zheng Yongchang was dumbfounded, Liu Wenfeng blinked his eyes and looked at the stone incredulously, and Wu Zihuai frowned as if he was thinking about the meaning of the regiment leader's words.

However, after a brief calm, Liu Wenfeng finally said: "Stone, what are you kidding?" The 153 Brigade is about to be overwhelmed, and at this time we don't go to reinforcements, but go to sleep? This...... This ......" Liu Wenfeng's words didn't come out, which was obviously not a nice word, but because of the face of the stone, it was not easy to say it directly.

Shi waved his hand unappetically and said, "It's not a joke, give the order immediately." ”

After Liu Taiping was promoted to the third battalion, this kind of staff communication and other things were handed over to Zheng Yongchang to be responsible, and now that he was urged by the regiment commander like this, where did he dare to hesitate, even if he answered, he ran towards the communication squad on the side.

Seeing that Zheng Yongchang had already gone to convey the order, Shi Shi said: "Brigade Commander Zhang has not asked for help, what does this mean?" Without waiting for Wu Zihuai and Liu Wenfeng to answer, Shi said to himself: "It shows that the battle situation is still under the control of Brigade Commander Zhang, and Brigade Commander Zhang must still have enough strength to hold the position, in this case, what else do we have to worry about so much?" Hurry up and rest, and when it's our turn to fight, the big guy will have the strength to fight the devil. ”

Liu Wenfeng almost fainted when he heard this, and he made it for a long time, the head of the regiment actually thought so, God knows what was in his head! Can the 153 Brigade still be in control of the situation? The regiment commander is crazy, the devils have all broken into the position and fought each other hand-to-hand, what can we talk about control? Who could have predicted the outcome of hand-to-hand combat? At this time, I didn't plan early, but buried my head in sleep, purely looking for death.

Shi didn't react to everyone's surprised expressions, he believed in his own judgment, believed in Brigade Commander Zhang's strength, so many bloody battles were fought, what kind of scene had he not seen? Zhang Gushan is so difficult to fight, in the hands of Brigade Commander Zhang, it is not easy to take it down, and now they are the main defense, even if the devil reinforcements arrive, what does it matter? If there was really danger, Brigade Commander Zhang would have ordered them to rush to reinforcements a long time ago, who would joke with the lives of his brothers?

"Sleep, madman, if you don't sleep, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." Unfazed by the reaction of the crowd, Stone sat down on his back, his whole body pressed against the trench, he straightened his legs, stretched his waist, and closed his eyes with such a big grin, letting the gunshots not far away rise one after another, and the shouts one after another.

Wu Zihuai and Liu Wenfeng were relatively speechless. After all, Wu Zihuai has experienced a lot of things, and he has to be more steady, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to Liu Wenfeng: "Battalion Commander Liu, send a few capable brothers to the east to see the situation, if any news is sent in time, and tell Battalion Commander Liu that once the 153rd Brigade asks for help, immediately bring people over, and someone will naturally take over their defense line." ”

Liu Wenfeng suddenly felt that this method was good, with pre-arrangement, even if something happened, he could deal with it in time, and his heart was a lot more steady.

Instead, Shi closed his eyes and said vaguely: "It's not in vain, let's hurry up and sleep first, it's really our turn, I guess I don't even have the time to breathe." ”
