In Shan County, the evacuation of people is still in progress. 23us. com is the fastest updated
The organizers of the single county office in the border area were obviously overly optimistic, thinking that the people in the county could complete the evacuation before dawn. However, when it came time to evacuate, they found that the situation was much more difficult than they expected, because during the actual evacuation , many emergencies occurred that they had never thought of before.
When making the evacuation plan before, the organizers only calculated the speed of people passing through the city gate, but they did not expect that there would be a congestion when the people in the county pushed flatbed trucks filled with things to the city gate, and they did not expect that the people would also bring people with them. They boarded the pigs, cows, sheep, and even chickens and ducks raised at home. As a result, the crowds crowded in, and a flatbed truck kept flipping to the ground. The chickens and ducks tied to it immediately escaped from the cage, and then ran around in the crowd. The chickens and ducks all tried their best to catch them in the crowd, which resulted in even more chaos. It turned into a mess.
You can't criticize the people harshly, because these livestock and property are their most valuable property. If they lose these, they will have nothing. So the organizer of the Shan County Office can only ask the militia to come to maintain order. Captain Shan will all The county militiamen gathered together. They originally planned to rush to Erguniang Slope to help the Third Guard Battalion, but when they saw the situation, they had no choice but to change their decision temporarily and stay in the county to maintain order.
With the help of militiamen to divert the flow of people, the people who had to evacuate in an emergency gradually restored order.
By about three o'clock in the morning, order in the four gates of the county had been completely restored. Shan Da left a militia team to continue to help the staff of the county office maintain order, and then summoned the county brigade and eight other district teams to prepare for emergency He rushed to Erguniang Slope to reinforce the Third Guards Battalion. He knew that the Third Guards Battalion was still fighting hard at Erguniang Slope.
At this moment, a militiaman with extremely long legs came over panting and said, "Captain, the main force is here, our main force is here!"
"Really? Where is it?" Shan Da suddenly became energetic after hearing this.
The long-legged militiaman turned around and pointed. Shan Da and the militiamen lined up behind him looked in the direction of the long-legged militiaman's finger. Sure enough, they saw a fire dragon snaking from a distance. Seeing this fire dragon, Shan Da and the militiamen lined up behind him. They immediately became energetic, because they were all used to walking at night and knew that this fire dragon was a long torch dragon made up of countless torches.
Immediately afterwards, there was a faint rumble under the night sky in the northwest. It sounded like muffled thunder on a summer night, but Shan Da knew that it was not thunder at all, but that the cavalry battalion of the military division had arrived first. Not long after, a torrent of cavalry rushed out of the boundless night with torches and swept to the north gate.
Following the cavalry battalion to Shan County were Xu Rui and Wang Husheng.
Seeing that the north gate of Shan County was already in sight, Xu Rui let out a light sigh and reined in his horse.
Then he turned back to Wang Husheng and said, "Old Wang, let's say goodbye here. After you go back, you must seize the time to build the fire escape!"
"I understand, Lao Xu." Wang Husheng nodded and warned, "You should also be careful."
"Don't worry about that." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "The person who can kill me, Xu Rui, has not been born yet."
"You'd better be careful. Unless it's absolutely necessary, try not to go to the front line." Wang Husheng snorted and finally rode away. Soon, Wang Husheng and his guard squad disappeared under the night.
Xu Rui reined in his horse and turned around, shouting loudly and asking: "Hey, is that the Shan County Militia Brigade in front of you? Where is your Captain Shan?"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Rui saw a short and stocky militiaman rushing towards him. Could it be Shan Da, the captain of the Shanxian Militia Brigade
At that moment, Xu Rui got off his horse and stepped forward with a smile: "Captain Shan."
"Commander!" Shan Da came forward and shook hands with Xu Rui tightly, saying, "You've got it."
Shan Da's voice was slightly choked. It was obvious that the sudden arrival of the Japanese had put him under a lot of pressure. Although he had not yet gone to the battlefield, he was even mentally prepared to sacrifice. Now Xu Rui led the main force of the military division to arrive. , the pressure on his shoulders immediately eased, and he actually felt a sense of joy in surviving the disaster.
Xu Rui patted Dan Da on the shoulder and asked harmoniously: "Old Dan, how is the situation?"
"The situation is very bad!" Shan Da said, "The Japs came very quickly. As early as an hour ago, the Japs' vanguard had arrived at Erguniang Slope. In order to buy time for the people in the county to evacuate, Deputy Commander Leng led the three guards The battalion is fighting fiercely with the Japanese at Erguniang Slope, and I am going to go to Erguniang Slope to support them."
"Er Girl Slope?" Xu Rui's face darkened when he heard this, and he asked anxiously, "Approximately how many people are there in the Japs forward?"
"First a brigade came, and then a regiment came." Shan Da said, "Deputy Commander Leng just sent someone to ask when the people in the county can evacuate? Although it was not stated clearly, Deputy Commander Leng's But the meaning is already obvious, I hope the people in the county can speed up the evacuation, it seems that the situation there is already very tight."
"A team?!" Xu Rui's face immediately became more gloomy.
A battalion can still compete against a large group, but against a Japanese regiment, there is no way to fight!
More than two hours have passed since the battle started at Erguniang Slope. Leng Tiefeng's side must have been very critical. After all, this is a desperate defense. In order to stop the little Japs and buy time for the people in the county to evacuate, the third battalion was guarded. It must be nailed to the position like a nail, and it cannot be moved even if it is dead.
This greatly limits the performance of the Third Guard Battalion!
In guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, the troops of the Dameishan Military Division no longer fear the Japanese. However, in positional warfare, there is still a clear gap between them and the Japanese. This gap does not lie in the command ability of commanders at all levels, nor in the strength of the officers and soldiers. training and military literacy, but lies in the weapons gap between the two armies.
In terms of weapons, the Japs not only have tanks and armored vehicles, but also aviation to assist in the battle. At least in this regard, it is impossible for the Dameishan Military Division to catch up in the foreseeable short time. Therefore, fighting against the Japs positions, all the Dameishan Military Division The troops were still struggling, even in positional warfare at night.
The situation is urgent and we must rush to the Erguniang Slope to rescue and guard the Third Battalion immediately.
Of course, we can't just rush to Erguniang Slope. Otherwise, not to mention the failure to rescue the third guard battalion, the troops who rush to rescue may also suffer a big loss. After all, those who have already rushed to Erguniang Slope will The little Japs have enough of a regiment. Unless the Japs make a fatal mistake like Shojiro Iida, even if they gather all the main forces of the Dameishan Military Division, they will never be able to defeat this regiment in a short time. And that By that time, the main force of the Kumamoto Division might have arrived long ago.
However, Xu Rui had an idea. He immediately called Shan Da and Tiegang to the front and gave them the same instructions. He also asked Tiegang to send out a communications squad to inform the first regiment, second regiment, and security regiment, asking them to strictly follow his instructions. , spread out the formation, lighted more torches, and assumed a posture of surrounding the Japanese army on all sides.
(Dividing line)
On Erguniang Slope, the battle has entered the final stage.
After repelling the second Japanese attack, there were very few people left in the two companies on the hilltop.
At this time, Leng Tiefeng no longer cared about blocking the road, and moved the three companies used to block the road to the hills on both sides. Even if the road was lost, as long as the hills on both sides were still in their hands, the Japs would still be unable to get through. , even if the Japs’ tanks and armored vehicles can pass, their infantry still can’t.
After being supplemented by the third company, they repelled the Japanese's third attack.
But after the battle, the newly replenished third company was basically wiped out.
Leng Tiefeng mobilized all the people from the heavy machine gun platoon and artillery unit. When the battle reached this point, he no longer cared about any tactical principles. He directly faced the gunfire of the Japanese tanks and the heavy fire of the Japanese armored vehicles. Machine guns, heavy machine guns and mortars were used to attack the little Japanese who were attacking from behind.
Relying on this almost suicidal blocking, the fourth attack of the little Japanese was barely repelled.
At this time, the Third Guard Battalion truly reached its end. All the heavy machine guns and artillery were destroyed. There were only less than 20 officers and soldiers left in the battalion of more than 400, and they were all concentrated on the hilltop on the right. As for the one on the left, On the top of the mountain, more than 200 people below the commander of the camp, Gong Haifeng, had all died in the battle and martyred their country.
At the last moment, Leng Tiefeng called the last dozen or so people in front of him.
Looking around in turn, Leng Tiefeng actually saw an acquaintance, Xiaomu.
With a slight smile, Leng Tiefeng said to Xiaomu: "I originally thought that if you unfortunately died in the battle, I would personally deliver your suicide note to the political commissar for you, but now it seems that my wish has come true. You I'm afraid the suicide note can only be handed over by the security officer of the Political Department, haha."
Xiaomu is already a veteran. He has seen too much life and death and has long been numb.
Faced with Leng Tiefeng's teasing, Xiaomu turned a deaf ear. He just took out a small piece of rag and carefully wiped the 38-type bayonet in his hand. Under the cover of night, the bayonet originally stained with blood was very dirty. It quickly regained its original style, and under the distant firelight, it reflected bursts of stunning cold light.
Leng Tiefeng turned back to look at the sweet potato and asked, "Sweet potato, are you afraid?"
Digua nodded and instinctively moved closer to Leng Tiefeng. Of course he was afraid.
"Don't be afraid, it will pass soon." Leng Tiefeng said with a smile, "After a while, after the little devils start attacking, if you suddenly find that you are walking alone on a straight road, the roadside It’s covered with a very coquettish kind of flowers, and there’s a stone bridge at the end of the road, which means you’re dead.”
When the other dozen veterans heard this, they immediately chuckled.
But Di Gua became more and more nervous and said, "I don't want to die." (To be continued...)
