Chapter 671: Reinforcements!
No matter what Feng Ye said, Mei Chunhua did not agree to retreat, the 61st Regiment and the 62nd Regiment also suffered heavy casualties after several days of bloody fighting, and the 62nd Regiment was even worse, their company platoon commander's casualties had reached 60%, and the phone call for reinforcements kept ringing at the brigade headquarters.
"Tell them about today's battle, and tell them about the casualties of the battalions and brigades directly under them."
Mei Chunhua is now on fire, reinforcements are delayed, he has urged three times after the battle, but the result is that he is still on the way.
"After eating, all the brothers will be divided into two shifts, and tonight all the open posts will be removed, more bonfires will be lit, and all the sentries will be hidden, and the dark posts will be changed."
Feng Yi held a multigrain cake in his hand, and took a bite from time to time, there were only more than eighty brothers, he didn't know how to deploy it, the southern slope of Biwang Mountain was very wide, and the devils wanted to touch it at night, but they couldn't prevent it at all, so they could only take care of the key areas, and only guard the area around the brigade headquarters.
"Got it, I'll arrange it."
Gao Yurong nodded.
"In the first half of the night you are in charge of the sentry, let the brethren hold on, and don't fall asleep; I'll come in the middle of the night. ”
Feng Ye then explained that today's daytime battle knocked out the last establishment of the battalion directly under them, and now they have weapons, but they are useless, even mortars and grenadiers can only be put aside, and people will be arranged to fiddle with them when needed.
"Brigade commander, division headquarters telegram."
The communications staff officer hung his arms, his face was overjoyed, and handed a telegram to Mei Chunhua.
"Huh?"
Mei Chunhua looked at the face of the staff officer, and took the telegram suspiciously, he didn't know what kind of news could make the staff officer in his hand so happy.
"A thousand people, Jin Lisan's supplementary regiment?"
"Great, great......"
Mei Chunhua slapped the telegram, never felt that the supplementary soldiers were so fragrant.
"Inform Commander Long and Commander Luo, and let them send people to the brigade headquarters to receive reinforcements after dawn."
Mei Chunhua thought for a moment and asked the communication soldier to notify him quickly.
"Brigade commander, there are only more than eighty people in the direct battalion, don't you replenish the direct battalion first? That's just a thousand people! When the battalion is full, there won't be much left. ”
The operational staff officer reminded Mei Chunhua.
"I know that my plan is this, the sixty-first regiment is supplemented with three hundred and fifty men, the sixty-second regiment is supplemented with four hundred, and the rest is given to the direct battalion; So that everyone can add that at least this battle can be fought. ”
Mei Chunhua smiled bitterly, of course he wanted to replenish the battalion under his direct command first, but the casualties of the two regiments on the front line were too great, if they couldn't withstand it and let the devils break through the defensive line, even if the battalion directly under the full number could only retreat.
"Brigadier Commander, isn't it a little early to inform now? The division headquarters said that they would arrive tomorrow morning at the earliest, and they still had supplies with them, so I am afraid that they would not be so punctual, what if they didn't arrive by then? ”
The communications staff officer had read the telegram and knew the time it said.
"Leave them waiting before they arrive, and tell them that there is a supplement, at least they can get a good night's sleep."
Mei Chunhua smiled bitterly, now that he is withdrawing and not letting him withdraw, and he has not added anything, he really can't stand the nagging of the two regiment commanders all the time.
"Yes!"
The communications staff officer nodded, indicating that he knew, until now, no one said to inform Feng Ye first, because they all knew that if Feng Ye knew first, they were afraid that the two regiments would not be able to divide a few people.
The night attack that Feng Yi was worried about did not happen, the devils also fought for a day, they were also worried about the night attack of the squadron, and in this line, the squadron had more troops, and the main attack direction of the devils was on the Mahuiling line, where the battle had been expanding and expanding in white heat, and the combat effectiveness of the first corps was very tenacious, so that the two divisions of the devil could no longer move forward.
When the day was just dawn, the people of the 61st Regiment and the 62nd Regiment had already arrived at the southern slope, Feng Ye had just asked the brothers to change the guard, and opened his misty eyes in the trenches, Feng Ye didn't care what they were doing, as long as he was not a devil, he just wanted to sleep at this time.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as Feng Ye closed his eyes, the devil's shelling began again, and the shells smashed directly into the position of the 61st Regiment, which directly woke Feng Ye up.
"All go into the artillery holes, and the sentries will monitor the bottom of the mountain, don't let the devils come up again."
Feng Ye shouted, rubbed his eyes, endured the pain all over his body, got up from the trench, and casually found an anti-artillery hole to drill into; Now there are a lot of anti-artillery holes on Biwang Mountain, and there are still more than one person.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
When the gunshots were remembered, Feng Ye and his brothers drilled out of the anti-artillery hole together and continued to wait in the trench.
"Battalion commander, reinforcements are coming, look at it!"
A sentry shouted, pointing to the field below.
"Huh?"
Feng Yi raised his eyes and could only see a long line of people approaching, and he couldn't see who it was.
"Looks like it's our people."
Feng Yi raised his binoculars to confirm that he was now very afraid that the person who appeared was a devil.
"Oh, oh, oh......"
The reinforcements that appeared in the field were still far away, and according to Feng Yi's estimate, they had been up the mountain for at least an hour, but the brothers on the mountain had been waiting for reinforcements for too long, and all the brothers in the trenches cheered.
"This is the supplementary regiment of Commander Jin, our 31st Brigade has 1,000 people, which is 200 more than the 33rd Brigade; The sixty-first and sixty-second regiments were supplemented with seven hundred and fifty men, and the rest belonged to you. ”
Mei Chunhua's voice suddenly sounded in Feng Yi's ears, and the smile on his face was still there, but it gradually solidified.
"Brigade commander, there are only about eighty brothers left in the battalion; Two hundred and fifty people, even two companies are not satisfied! ”
Feng Yi's smile turned into a wry smile, when he just heard about a thousand people, he originally thought that the brigade commander would at least replenish him by half, at least to get out the guard company and the reconnaissance company! Unexpectedly, the ending disappointed him very much.
"The 61st Regiment and the 62nd Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and they were on the front line, you have to consider the overall situation."
Mei Chunhua patted Feng Ye on the shoulder, in fact, he is also very difficult, it is very good to have a supplement, the squadron has suffered a lot of casualties after every bloody battle on the battlefield, the war is continuing, the troops are broken and can be reorganized are elite, those miscellaneous and local troops, they don't even have a basic supplement, but they have to continue to fight.
"This time, in addition to personnel, there is also material replenishment, and in terms of ammunition, except for artillery shells, there are no restrictions, you can add a little more."
Looking at Feng Yi's sluggish face, Mei Chunhua gave a consolation prize, and then stopped talking.
"Let's go!"
Feng Ye also didn't speak, took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Mei Chunhua, and the two of them stood on the edge of the trench, smoking cigarettes, watching the reinforcements under the mountain keep approaching.
