Battle of Fort West

"Originally, this West Fort was not within the scope of our attack this time, but if we kept it, these brutes didn't know what to do, so I decided to take advantage of the aftermath of the Battle of Longling to kill the Japanese army concentrated in the West Fort!" Chen Mingren said to the generals of the various armies who had finished the Battle of Longling. "I agree, the Longling Tombs have been conquered, and there are still these miscellaneous pieces, which is a bit unreasonable!" Huang Jie said excitedly. This time, Huang Jie's second army suffered the smallest losses, but it took the light to conquer Longling, and he was very happy and agreed to this proposal! "I didn't say it, the little devil played chemical warfare with Lao Tzu, and many of my brothers died, and Lao Tzu wants to go to Xibao to take this breath!" The commander of the 36th Division said. "Okay! I thought so too! "The commander of the first division of honor was stabbed by the devil, and he grinned in pain, but he also agreed." What about you, Master Liu! Chen Mingren twisted and looked at the bangs. The West Fort is just a few broken soldiers, there are no fortifications to hold onto, there is no formed command, just to give full play to the power of my artillery, I also agree! Bangs said. Good! Since everyone agrees, there is no need to report it, we will attack directly, and I don't plan to report it, just take the initiative for the country and the nation! Chen Mingren said. Be! Several generals said in unison.

"Listen to it all for me, when you get to Xibao, give me a hard kill, don't let go of a devil!" The commander of the 36th Division shouted. "Don't worry, Master, you don't need to teach you to beat the water dogs!" Several regiment commanders said. "Good! Then we can't lag behind the first division of honor, see who kills more devils! "Yes!" The brothers of the first division of honor also shouted together. "It seems that everyone's morale is very high!" Liu Hai looked at the commanders of the two divisions and compared. "This time, we fought Longling and annihilated the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, which is the elite trump card of the Japanese army! It's normal for everyone to be a little excited! Sima Hong said. Yes, the commander of the 56th Division is indeed a character, and it is not easy to beat the 11th Army to the point of curling! Bangs said. Isn't he still under my boyfriend's fire? Sima Hong hugged Bang Hai's arm and said. I'm not alone! Bangs turned over and grabbed Sima Hong's hand. I said yes and yes! Sima Hong said with a smile.

"What are you doing in broad daylight?" Song Ruyu walked over and squeezed into the middle of the two at once, "Hmph! "I make love with my man, can anyone else take care of it?" Sima Hong glared at her. "Master, the chairman has a new directive!" Song Ruyu glanced at Sima Hong, turned around and said. "What command?" Bangs asked. "The order tells us to rush to Xiangxi immediately for rest and recuperation, and the establishment is assigned to the Fourth Front Army, and you want to rush to Chongqing to participate in the military meeting, we still have five days!" "Five days?" Liu Hai frowned and thought for a while, "Five days should be about the same, when the time comes, Chief of Staff Guo will lead the troops to Xiangxi, and I will rush directly to Chongqing!" "The chairman's order is to be carried out immediately!" Song Ruyu said. "I don't want to miss the battle at West Fort, which was the massacre of the Japanese! I'm going to see Chen Junza! ”

"Junzuo, when are we going to leave for the West Castle?" Liu Hai asked Chen Mingren. "I plan to leave tomorrow, the West Fort is not very far from us, we can reach it in one day, and tomorrow the siege will be implemented, and the battle will be over in two days at the earliest!" Chen Mingren said. "In this case, it should be in time!" Liu Hai thought for a moment and said, "I have received an order, my troops are to be ordered to rush to Xiangxi for repairs, and I will also rush to Chongqing in five days to attend a military meeting, I just don't want to miss the battle of Xibao!" "Hehe, your Fourth Division is directly under the command of the Command, this time you will return to Chongqing, you must be rewarded for meritorious service, Brother Liu Haixian is so valued at such a young age, and the future is immeasurable!" Chen Mingren said. "What a promising future, when the little devil surrenders, I will go home and do my filial piety!" Bangs said. "Hehe, go home and do your filial piety? I don't think you will be able to go home, how can you be willing to give up an artillery talent like you? Chen Mingren said, "Brother Xian, do a good job, your future fame will never be small!" "Thank you for your teachings!" Bangs said.

"Now I order that the 36th Division and the 1st Division of Honor will advance in a surprise attack first, cutting off the road for the southward retreat of the West Fort, the 2nd Army will be responsible for the encirclement in the east, my 71st Army will be in charge of the west, and the front will be handed over to the 4th Division of Liu Shizuo! This time we are carrying out an encirclement and annihilation operation, the little devils are all some stragglers in the West Fort, there are dozens of them alone, and they are all some frightened bow birds, so the key to this battle is to surround the word, we can't let these stragglers run away, all of them give me a death in the West Fort! Chen Mingren said. Got it! Several generals said at the same time. With the order issued, several generals went to Xibao with their own troops, while the 36th Division and the 1st Honor Division sent the vanguard regiment, all the way to the south of Xibao, to establish a blocking position, the 71st Army went to the west to intercept its western retreat road, the 2nd Army was to encircle in the east, and Liu Hai led the troops to assault head-on!

The reason why Chen Mingren wanted to attack Xibao with such fanfare and so many troops was to kill all of the Japanese army, otherwise such a group of Japanese soldiers here would definitely be a scourge in the future! Liu Hai led the troops to attack from the front first, the forces of the two regiments advanced intensively, the artillery fire of the two regiments carried out parallel intensive fire on the West Fort, and the powerful artillery fire and troops advanced to the West Fort. The Japanese army in Xibao was completely a straggler, and there was almost no decent resistance in the frontal defense, and it was a mess when a few artillery pieces passed, and the Japanese army fled in despair! At this time, Chen Mingren's wisdom was reflected, the strength of two armies and two divisions was enough to drain the entire Xibao siege, and after being attacked head-on, the Japanese army began to flee in all directions, but when they ran in that direction, they were all dense bullets and shells. Huang Jie, commander of the Second Army, also organized a mobile automobile team to search back and forth along the highway, and as long as he saw Japanese soldiers regardless of rank, they would shoot them and kill them, and those who were hiding would be roasted with flamethrowers. The Japanese army in the entire West Fort is in a state where there is no way to go to the sky and enter the ground!

"Keep going!" Liu Xiaoshan looked at the Japanese soldiers who were killed by himself, and his heart was happy, these little devils also had such a cowardice, they were really happy! "Report, we found a group of women, like comfort women, what to do?" A GI ran over to report. "A group of women?" Liu Xiaoshan didn't forget that last time, a few of his brothers were almost killed by these Dongying girls, so he didn't get angry, "All of them were burned by me with a flamethrower, and these Dongying girls were all slaughtered for me!" "Understood!" The GI ran away! "Captain!" After a while, the soldier ran back again: "Among those women, we are Chinese women!" "Then let's screen it, kill all the Oriental women, and let the Chinese women go!" Liu Xiaoshan said. "There was one who wanted to see the chief, and he said that he knew that the Japanese army had a warehouse in Seaburg, and there were many American prisoners of war in it!" "Prisoners of war?" Liu Xiaoshan was shocked: "Bring her to me!" ”。 Half an hour later, the soldier came with a woman. "Sir, there is a warehouse on the southeast side of the West Fort, where a lot of yellow-haired, blue-eyed prisoners of war have been held for a long time!" The comfort woman said. "Okay, I see, you hurry home, and those prisoners of war will be handed over to me!" Liu Xiaoshan understood what was going on after listening to these words! "Prisoners of war? Still yellow-haired and blue-eyed, it's not an allied prisoner of war! Liu Hai said, "Liu Xiaoshan, I order you to form an assault team and go to Xibao to rescue this group of prisoners of war, and you must rescue this group of Allied prisoners of war!" Liu Xiaoshan didn't dare to slack off, taking advantage of the chaos in Xibao, he led a commando team to the warehouse in Xibao as fast as possible, along the way Liu Xiaoshan killed more than 100 devil soldiers, and after interrogation, Liu Xiaoshan successfully found the dozens of prisoners of war. After doubling the difficult exchanges, Liu Xiaoshan confirmed their identities and withdrew from the war zone with them!

When he arrived at the division headquarters, Liu Hai met the supreme commander of the dozens of prisoners of war, a colonel named Svik, a regimental commander of the American contingent. The Colonel Swick told Liu Hai that they were surrounded and captured by the Japanese army when they were attacking the Japanese army, and they thought they were going to die, but they didn't expect to be able to come out alive, and the Colonel Svik assured Liu Hai that he and Liu Xiaoshan would receive a United States of America Medal of Valor! After expressing his gratitude, Liu Hai handed over the American prisoners of war to the Americans. At this time, the battle of Xibao was also nearing the end, more than 7,000 Japanese troops were trapped in Xibao by Chen Mingren's iron bucket array, after an unprecedentedly easy battle, more than 7,000 Japanese soldiers were mostly killed, and there were only more than 100 survivors, because the troops needed a group of coolies to carry their spoils!

After the battle, Liu Hai did not have time to stay, he ordered Chief of Staff Guo to take his troops to Xiangxi, while he took Song Ruyu and Sima Hong to Chongqing by special plane. After arriving in Chongqing, Liu Hai was notified that he would immediately go to the presidential palace to attend a ceremony to confer medals, and the chairman of the committee would personally award him a medal and issue a new combat mission. Liu Hai, who had an urgent schedule, didn't have time to visit his parents, so he had to let Sima Hong and Song Ruyu replace him as visits, and he rushed to the Huangshan Mansion non-stop! After arriving at the Huangshan Residence, Liu Hai got a medal and learned an astonishing news, that is, among the dozens of prisoners of war he rescued, one was the nephew of the famous American general MacArthur, that is, that Svik! Liu Hai didn't pay much attention to this matter, because Chiang Kai-shek told him that he was going to participate in a general battle of unprecedented scale!
