Chapter 97: A Fierce General
Zheng Da used the heavy machine gun they were studying the Japanese devils, which they had captured from the positions of the Japanese devils, and the four of them took turns to carry it back.
This is the Japanese devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun, and on the Japanese battlefield, it was even on an equal footing with the Makqin heavy machine gun for a time.
In order to further improve the combat capability, the Japanese army added a heat sink to this heavy machine gun, which strengthened the continuous combat capability of the machine gun. And considering that the shooting accuracy of the machine gun has not been high, the Japanese military increased the weight of the machine gun and stabilized the center of gravity of the machine gun. However, this also brought a problem, that is, the Type 92 heavy machine gun was too heavy, reaching 55.3kg, and at the same time, the rate of fire was also reduced accordingly, and theoretically only 450 rounds per minute.
Two people can't hold on for long, it takes four people to take turns to carry it before they can carry it back, when they carry it back, the number of machine gun shells they carry is not much, and in the next few nights, they go to the Japanese devil position, and they always carry some back every time, and now there are more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition for the Type 92 heavy machine gun.
"Brother Yuan!"
Seeing Xia Yuan and them carrying guns into the camp, Zheng Da used them to stand up one after another to greet them and help everyone unload the ammunition and guns on their bodies.
"Veteran, you bring it with you, Xiao Liu, take these rifles as a pawn, buy more white noodles and come back, if you have meat, cut some meat." Xia Yuan threw the gun on his body on the ground, "I'll go and rest for a while." ”
In the past few days, every night he was responsible for leading the team to sneak attack the Japanese position, and during the day, the devil's plane came to bomb again, and the bombing did not make people live in peace.
Sleepy early in the morning, Xia Yuan returned to the wooden shed early to rest.
Everyone began to get busy, the captured rifles this time had a squadron of Japanese soldiers, and when they came back, everyone was carrying a large number of Japanese devil 38 rifles, bullets, and grenades, and these rifles were exchanged for the ocean, and there must be more than 100 oceans, which is a lot of wealth.
The veterans went this time, taking more than 30 people with them, for fear that someone would cut off their beards in the middle of the road.
There's no way, if you want to say who has made the most money recently, except for the people in the black market, that is Xia Yuan, who goes out every night to sneak attack the Japanese devil's position, and brings back a large amount of weapons and equipment the next day, which is exchanged for money in the black market, which has attracted the attention of many people, and I am afraid that some people will plot against them.
However, even if these people have these ideas, they don't have the guts.
Xia Yuan's name as a fierce man has been spread all over Jiading, which defeated soldiers don't know Xia Yuan's name, at night with a platoon of soldiers to Luodian to engage in the Japanese devil position, every time they return with a full load, many people have heard that recently on the battlefield of Luodian, there is a 'ghost' troops, come without a trace, go without a trace, every time a large number of Japanese devils are eliminated, and then disappear.
In fact, these news have long been spread within the national army, and careful people can inquire about it.
In addition, Jiading's circle is so small, and as soon as it is passed on a little, it will spread.
In addition, when he was near the Sitang River, Xia Yuan used a gun to eliminate a large number of Japanese devils, and the name of the marksman also spread.
Secondly, there is also the veteran guy, when crossing the river to attack the Japanese position, with his invincible ability to throw grenades, he blew up the Japanese devils, and without firing a shot, he shot down the positions of the Japanese devils, and a grenade was thrown into the machine gun bunker of the Japanese devils.
This matter was also spread by the veterans, so that Xia Yuan's matter became more and more mysterious, what gods descended to earth, the gods of war, etc., were added to Xia Yuan's head, and the company led by Xia Yuan has also become a place that the entire Jiading army yearns for.
There are pros and cons to everything, the fame spread, and Xia Yuan also became a figure in Jiading, but it was followed by trouble.
No way, the name is too prosperous, in the previous Luodian War, the eyes of the national army were gathered on the battlefield, where would Jiading be cared for, and now the national army troops on the front line began to retreat and retreat to the second line of defense, and the battle in the direction of Luodian was temporarily suspended, and the eyes of the national army were not only on the second line of defense, but also on the rear of Jiading.
After all, Jiading is not far from Luodian, and once the direction of Luodian completely falls, Jiading will follow.
Naturally, Xia Yuan, a figure in the middle of the day, appeared in the field of vision of the top brass of the national army.
Then, some of Xia Yuan's personal information, what he had done on the battlefield these days, inquired carefully, and then made a document and handed it to Chen Cheng of the 15th Group Army, the content of the document recorded what Xia Yuan encountered along the way after leaving Yudi, including some of his combat examples.
Among them, when he was in the recruit camp, he entered the battlefield for the first time and single-handedly eliminated four Japanese detachments.
The attack of the Lin family house and Qiao's house shot the machine gun fire point of the Japanese army, and then a soldier under his command who controlled the grenadier barrel blew up the Japanese fire point, and successfully captured the Qiao family house held by the Japanese devils.
Turning the Sitang River, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Japanese army, he used a gun to inflict heavy casualties on the Japanese army.
In the main position of the 160th Battalion, the same gun wiped out a large number of Japanese troops, although the last position was lost, he shot dozens of Japanese devils by himself, and became the famous marksman of the 160th Battalion.
Then, for some reason, he appeared in the battle of Luodian, in the final counterattack on the night of the 6th, Xia Yuan opened the way with grenades, broke through the two lines of defense of the Japanese army, and took more than a dozen remnants of the four companies of the 401st Regiment to hit near the machine gun fire point of the Japanese devils, and then blew up the machine gun fire point of the Japanese army with grenades, becoming the only unit that broke through the Japanese defense line that night.
It's a pity that he did not participate in the follow-up battle, and the 401st Regiment was finally nailed to the Japanese position, and the remnants of the two battalions retreated only a small number of troops in the Japanese counterattack.
Then, the battle of Luodian subsided, but Xia Yuan led a platoon of troops, went to the Japanese army position every night, attacked the Japanese army at night, and after a few days, they sold hundreds of guns in the Luodian black market, and even many Japanese soldiers.
"What a fierce general." Chen Cheng suddenly remembered that when he was in the 401st Regiment, he organized a special operation team, why did he appear in Luodian.
He called the adjutant and asked him to investigate the matter, and then asked the 67th Division to go and collect the general.
As everyone knows, when Chen Cheng received the document, such a document had already appeared in front of the commanders near Luodian, and in the face of such a fierce general, these commanders would definitely not let go.
Among them were Li Shusen's 67th Division, Wang Yaowu's 51st Division, Yu Jishi's 58th Division, Peng Shan's 11th Division, and Liu Shangzhi's 56th Division.
At this time, Xia Yuan still didn't know that his actions in the past few days had already been noticed by the high-level of the national army.
In fact, this is also part of his plan, in the 160th Battalion, he has tried to show his value, but unfortunately the commander of the 160th Battalion, Zhang Guangqi, only thinks about his own troops, and has no choice but to retreat back to Jiading.
During the counterattack against the Japanese army on the 6th, he suddenly figured out that the direction of Jiading, as a large rear, would be divided into groups of troops, and sooner or later it would be absorbed by the troops of the national army. Xia Yuan decided to do some things in Jiading, especially to pull out a troop and engage in Japanese devils, if the high-level of the national army can't see it, then forget it, he took this company and found a place where he would not withdraw from the battlefield in Songhu, and he would be able to spend the next few days safely.
If the high-level of the national army saw it and was willing to recruit him, Xia Yuan felt that with the soldiers and a dozen Japanese devils, he would not have come to the Battle of Songhu and did nothing.
I just never thought that this day would come so early, and besides, there were a lot of people coming.
Almost all the divisions that were deployed near Luodian came.
At this time, Xia Yuan was still asleep, and he didn't know anything about this matter, he thought that if what he was doing wanted to be noticed, at least after the battle subsided, everyone's eyes began to converge in the rear, but he didn't expect it to come too quickly.
It was also on this day that the battle of Jinjiawan began.
After the Nationalist army retreated, it took a whole day to find that the Nationalist troops had begun to retreat on all fronts, so the Japanese began to pursue, but due to the heavy rain that day, the pursuit reached the front line of the Nationalist position, and there was no fierce exchange of fire.
Wait until the rainstorm stops.
On the morning of 16 September, under the cover of the air force and artillery, a fierce attack was launched on the positions of the Nationalist troops.
The battle in the direction of Jinjiawan was particularly fierce, and the Japanese army continued to gradually encroach on the positions of the Nationalist army by eating insects and leaves, and the Japanese reinforcements had not yet arrived.
Same.
On the east side of Luodian, which had been silent for several days, the Japanese army launched a counteroffensive against the position of the Nationalist army, and the Japanese army's Asama detachment, the Tiangu detachment, the Japanese army's Tanaka unit, and the three infantry brigades of the 44th Wing all began to launch fierce attacks on the national army's position.
In the face of the attack of the Tiangu detachment, the national army used the house to build crossfire and temporarily repelled the Tiangu detachment. However, the 42nd Brigade of the 14th Division on the north side was attacked by the Japanese on both sides and suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, they had the river as their backing and were equipped with anti-aircraft guns, which could counterattack the Japanese armored vehicles dispatched from Nancao, but they held their positions, but they also paid heavy casualties.
The Japanese army did not give up the attack on the national army troops around Luodian, and even intensified the attack, and its purpose was very strong.
It is to occupy Luodian and further attack the interior.
The first to arrive was Wang Yaowu's adjutant of the 51st Division, Adjutant Sun, very young, in his early thirties, followed by a few guards, and after entering Jiading, he began to inquire.
In the dark night, at a distance of 100 meters, he knocked out the firing hole of the Japanese devil's machine gun, and at a distance of 100 meters, he threw a grenade into a hole the size of a bowl, and he was alone to destroy the Japanese army of a squadron of the Japanese army, which simply boasted that Xia Yuan was like a god.
"Born in troubled times, everyone can't defend themselves, so many people have died, and a hero suddenly appears, but this wind of boasting is so big that people are boasted like gods."
Adjutant Sun snorted coldly and said to Chief of Staff Liu beside him: "I want to see if he is really as rumored to be, like a god." ”
Chief of Staff Liu said with a smile: "Adjutant Sun, don't be angry, this style of boasting is quite prevalent in troubled times, and it is also a normal thing. ”
"Normal!? The front-line officers and men paid huge sacrifices to withstand the attack of the Japanese army, but the people who boasted about it eliminated a squadron of the Japanese army alone? Adjutant Sun said: "Even if he is the platoon commander of the ghost and has done a lot of big things, he can't boast like this, he must always seek truth from facts." ”
Chief of Staff Liu smiled and said: "I have read the document about Xia Yuan, and the description is indeed mysterious, when he came out of Yudi, he wiped out four detachments of Japanese troops when he was in the new barracks. ”
"I don't think it's true." Adjutant Sun sneered and said: "I doubt the authenticity of this matter, the combat strength of the Japanese army is obvious to all, he eliminated four Japanese detachments by himself, could it be that those Japanese devils were stupid and stood and let him kill." ”
"Therefore, I came here this time to confirm its authenticity, and the division commander also told us that if it is false, this arrest will be handed over to the commander, this kind of evil wind in the outer door, I think the commander will not let it go easily." Chief of Staff Liu felt that it didn't matter.
If it is true, then it is a man of God.
If it's fake, then there's a way to deal with this guy who brags about himself.
If everyone bragged about their achievements and eliminated as many Japanese devils as he did, then everyone in the army was a god of war.
In fact, Xia Yuan was able to blow like this, it was completely in troubled times, there were too many people who died, and people had no sense of security, and now there was a person with very strong combat ability, so they worshiped it and blindly boasted.
As for whether there is a real ability, and how true the content written on the document is, it remains to be studied.
When Xia Yuan was woken up, it was already noon, the sun was hanging high in the sky, Zheng Da used the thin rice porridge they were cooking, the boiled thin rice porridge, wild vegetables fried meat foam, and the whole camp floated a rich aroma of rice, which made the soldiers in the company growl in their stomachs.
Xiao Liu suddenly ran over: "Oh no, there is an official outside, and the rank is not low, it must be above the regimental level." ”
When the big guy heard this, he immediately became nervous.
Lao Qi snorted coldly: "Don't panic, panic anything, go and wake up the platoon commander!" ”
Xia Yuan's military rank is platoon commander, even if the size of the team has reached a company, but he has always asked not to let everyone call him company commander, to call him platoon commander, the position of platoon commander was given to him by Zhao Shiguo, and the company commander is self-appointed, don't look at the military rank, there is not much difference, but self-appointed and Zhao Shiguo are completely two concepts.
As it turned out, he did it right.
Adjutant Sun, Chief of Staff Liu, and the guards came to this forest, and from a distance, they saw several grass huts in the forest, built by large trees, with dense branches overhead, which could perfectly avoid the detection of Japanese aircraft.
After entering the camp, he saw an iron pot in the middle of the camp, cooking food, and a group of soldiers who were fairly cleanly dressed stood side by side, holding their heads high. (End of chapter)
