Chapter 226: In a dangerous situation, it is recommended to break through
After a day and a night of fierce fighting, both the enemy and us suffered losses, and our casualties seemed to be greater, but the shock to the little devils was also strong, forcing them not to attack easily.
It seems that the little devils and the Jing'an Brigade did not expect to encounter such a stubborn resistance, and they may be thinking of new countermeasures, but it is absolutely impossible to retreat without attacking.
After midnight, Yu Chengchan organized his own detachment again, still the same route as yesterday, and rushed down the mountain to attack the enemy, and the results this time were more obvious than last time.
All of a sudden, the sleeping enemy was scattered, and when the enemy came to his senses, Yu Chengchan and they retreated to the mountain.
Through such harassment, it was carried out three times in one night from different directions, so that the little devils could not stop and were always on high alert.
In this way, the two sides were in a state of stalemate, and the battle continued. The air was filled with a strong smell of slaughter and a strong smell of gunsmoke.
No matter how optimistic they are, people know that the North Manchurian Detachment is obviously at a disadvantage and in great danger, because both in terms of numbers and equipment, the North Manchurian Detachment is in a clear disadvantage.
In this way, the fierce attack and defense, the encirclement and suppression of Shuangshila Mountain has been three days, under the stubborn resistance of the North Manchurian detachment, the enemy is not as crazy as in the past, it seems to be tired.
On this day, apart from sporadic shelling, no large-scale attacks were organized, and it seems that the enemy also knew that it would be difficult to easily take the large and small rocky mountains, and no longer did unnecessary casualties, but was looking for new countermeasures.
The soldiers took advantage of the gap between battles to lie on the cold ground and fell asleep, some of them still chewing on the dry food they had prepared before the battle.
"The dry food we prepared is enough for the time being, but the water supply is no longer available. If you continue like this, you will be trapped to death if you are not destroyed, and I solemnly ask the detachment to concentrate its forces to break through! ”
Yu Chenglong couldn't help it, he knew the situation in front of him well, and knew what the result would be if he held on any longer, so he strongly asked Chief of General Staff Yang to go back to the detachment to change the current holding strategy.
"It's almost time for the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee to stick to it, and the little devil's attack power has been greatly weakened now, I estimate that we can hold on for five days.
Tonight, let's go to the detachment headquarters together and share your thoughts with the General Political Commissar and Commander Fang. But now you still have to keep a close eye on the enemy's situation, and always be ready to stop the devil from attacking! ”
Chief of General Staff Yang patiently persuaded Yu Chengchan to calm down and seize the time to make preparations to deal with emergencies. Yu Chenglong did not argue, turned around and left to arrange the war.
The ground was littered with smoke-smoking, and the fortifications were incomplete, littered with stones, a scene of devastation after the war.
Yu Chenglong did not disturb the tired and resting soldiers, but ordered his reserves to be dispatched to speed up the repair of fortifications, especially to strengthen the bunkers that sheltered from enemy artillery fire.
"If the little devil didn't have artillery fire, he really wouldn't be our opponent! This cannon is too powerful, a big bombardment, you can't dodge, brothers are afraid of this! ”
A brother who carried the stone with Yu Chenglong told him his worries, telling him that what the brothers were most afraid of was the artillery fire of the little devils. Yu Chenglong nodded and said that the important thing is to strengthen the bunker.
"Fortify the bunkers, as long as the shells don't fall directly on it, it's fine. Tell the brothers, don't be sloppy, build the bunker as strong as possible! ”
Looking at the brother who left to deliver the order, Yu Chenglong straightened his waist and stared silently into the distance, his mood was very heavy, he guessed that the little devil would definitely have a bigger conspiracy.
Sure enough, at noon, two devil bombers suddenly appeared in the sky, and after circling twice on the big and small stone mountains, they suddenly lowered their altitude and bombed the big and small stone mountain wildly.
After the two enemy planes flew away, two more followed, and so on, and a total of eight sorties carried out carpet bombing of the big and small rocky mountains in one afternoon.
At the same time, the ground artillery fire of the devils also cooperated, shelling the big and small stone mountains, and the enemy's infantry also carried out a tentative attack on the mountain, although it was repulsed, but the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian detachment had been greatly weakened.
According to a rough estimate, more than 200 soldiers of the unit were killed in this bombardment, and more than 300 were lightly and seriously wounded.
The large and small stone mountains were bombed beyond recognition, and most of the positions and shelters, as well as the soldiers' residences, ceased to exist, and the North Manchurian Detachment of the Anti-Japanese Union was facing a critical moment of life and death.
In the evening, Yang Furenhe, chief of the general staff, and Yu Chenglong hurried to the headquarters of the Dashili Mountain detachment, where they wanted to persuade Commander Fang and Political Commissar Qin to organize the troops to evacuate Dashili Mountain.
The scene of Dashiqi Mountain was even worse than that of Xiaoshiqi Mountain, the political commissar Qin and the captain of the sea brigade were both injured, and many seriously injured people were lying on the ground in the open air, frozen by the severe cold of minus 20 degrees Celsius and unable to speak.
"Political Commissar Qin, Commander Fang, the situation is very grim now, the troops have suffered heavy casualties, if the devils send planes to bomb tomorrow, and at the same time cooperate with the ground attack, I think it will be difficult for us to hold on.
The enemy is outnumbered, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the food and ammunition are not sufficient, and the consequences of holding on any longer are unimaginable. In order to preserve the strength, I propose to organize the immediate withdrawal of troops! ”
Chief of General Staff Yang eagerly expressed his attitude when he saw Political Commissar Qin Gang and Commander Fang, and Yu Chenglong on the side also nodded affirmatively, and Commander Fang also nodded to express his sympathy.
"I was trying to get you back to discuss this matter, and the political commissar and I also felt that we should retreat. But when will it break through, and from which direction, I want to hear everyone's opinions.
Chief of the General Staff, do you think it is safest for us to withdraw from that direction? Now the soldiers are very tired, there are many wounded and sick, and it is very difficult to break through, let alone do it brutely! ”
Commander Fang's mood was also very anxious, his eyes were red, and his hair was a little unkempt. It seems that he has foreseen the seriousness of the situation, but he is still undecided whether he can break out.
"Now we are not very clear about the surrounding enemy situation, judging by the fact that the enemy's attack in the northeast is relatively weak, but who knows if the devil did it on purpose.
In which direction to break through, I am not sure for a while. The key thing is that the team doesn't have much combat power anymore, and it is still difficult to break through the siege, but it must break through anyway! ”
Chief of General Staff Yang did not say from which direction the breakthrough should be carried out, but stressed that the breakthrough must be carried out as soon as possible, otherwise the team would face the danger of total annihilation.
This is not alarmist, the situation is indeed very critical, we must make a decision immediately, there is still a glimmer of life, Chief of General Staff Yang hopes that the leadership of the detachment will make a decision as soon as possible.
