Chapter 34: Not retreat but advance
The gunshots quickly rang, and rows of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground under our guns.
The Japanese did not expect that there would be people living on such a battlefield and could effectively organize firepower. In addition, they were too close to us, so they screamed and fell to the ground like they were planting onions. The Japanese reacted quickly afterwards. They were worthy of the veterans who had been through many battles and fell to the ground like conditioned reflexes when they heard the gunshots. [..com]
There are craters everywhere on this position? It also provides us with hidden protection.
〖Japan's hiding place, but these are not difficult for us. With the order of the Education Director, the grenades had already prepared, they shot grenades into the hiding place of 〖Japan's hiding place... So with the roars, the Japanese army hid in the craters, they were blown out one by one, especially the grenade group led by Wu Fusan. The grenades were almost perfect. After each roar, several Japanese soldiers flew into the sky screaming and flew into the sky.
More than ten minutes later, the Japanese army soon realized that if this continued, we would have the only ending like a target, so we quickly began to retreat. However, the soldiers let the Japanese people explode for three days and were already full of anger. At this time, they would not let them go easily. They just shouted and rushed towards the retreating Japanese army...
The soldiers of the 18th Army chased and fired guns, while most of the soldiers in our regiment were chasing and fighting grenade launchers while they were chasing. All kinds of guns were fired outside the craters, and the grenade launchers were hiding in the craters. Therefore, the rifles and grenade launchers cooperated with each other and only made the Japanese army have no place to hide in the hiding place and hugged a large number of corpses and fled back.
I didn't chase after me, one reason was that I was a sniper, and the other was that I knew that the soldiers could not chase too far. This was obvious. 1. The Japanese had guns and we didn't. If they chased them too far, it means that we couldn't come back. I believe that the commander and the chief of the Eighteenth Army were very clear about this.
Sure enough, the troops chased after only a few hundred meters and suddenly stopped and ran back like crazy...
The soldiers also knew that time was life at this time. It was fine that they had maintained contact with the Japanese just now. Once they broke off contact, it meant that the Japanese shells were coming.
"Boom Boom" Before the soldiers could all run back to the defense line, the Japanese shot us with shells.
There is a saying that to learn to beat people, you must first learn to be beaten. I let the Japanese cannons bomb for three days and learned some tricks. When I heard the sound of the cannons, I felt that they were different from large caliber naval cannons. After thinking about it, I quickly understood that these were mountain cannons or howitzers landed by the Japanese. Since the Japanese artillery have landed and are ready, the infantry must have landed and been waiting to attack us.
The brigade of the Japanese was probably just the vanguard used by the Japanese army to explore the way. "Company Commander Fang" was just worried about the future war. Suddenly, a few officers, both mud and blood, ran to me. A person walking in front of him asked in a panic: "Where is your regiment commander? Take me to see your regiment commander!"
"You are...Battlefield Commander Zhou!" After a long time, I recognized him as Battalion Commander Zhou of Fengba Army.
"Yes!" Battalion Commander Zhou nodded anxiously and introduced the officer behind me and said, "Company Commander Fang, this is our regiment commander Chu Guoxiang. We have something important to discuss with your regiment commander."
"No problem!" I also knew that the military situation was urgent, so I put away my gun without saying a word and took Zhou and Chu to the regiment headquarters in the fire.
A few minutes later, he led a group of people from the 18th Army to the regiment headquarters. The Education Chief was looking at the map with exhausted face and discussing something with the other officers. When he saw us, he felt a little suspicious.
"May I ask," Commander Chu, behind Battalion Commander Zhou, did not allow me to introduce him at all. He stole a few steps forward and asked, "Who is Commander Zhang of the 15th Regiment?"
"I am!" The chief of education stood up and responded.
"Hello, Captain Zhang!" Commander Chu greeted him and held the hand of the Education Chief and said, "I am the commander of the 33rd Regiment of the 18th Army, and my surname is Chu!" "Oh, it turns out to be Commander Chu!" The Education Chief was even more surprised when he heard this. He looked at Commander Chu and said, "I don't know where Commander Chu is here..."
"That's right!" Commander Chu replied: "I'll tell you a long story short when the military situation is urgent. When our regiment came up this time, we didn't bring much ammunition because we were rushing all the way. There was not much ammunition left after the consumption of the past few days, and the supply in the rear cannot be supplied, so now,……………”
Hearing the words, the Education Chief frowned. To be honest, the problem of insufficient ammunition is not only the 18th Army, but also our regiment is not much different. How much ammunition can a person bring? A base ammunition is only enough to fight a small battle. After these two battles, there will be ammunition. It is entirely because we use Japanese equipment. After each battle, our ammunition can be replenished from the Japanese corpses.
However, the soldiers of the 18th Army could not do this. They were equipped with standard weapons from the National Army. Should they change their guns? One is that the guns and ammunition on the battlefield are not enough for them to use. After all, many guns on the battlefield are blown up by shells, right? The other is that if the guns are changed, what if the ammunition in the rear is replenished?
"Captain Chu, then what you mean is...
"After thinking about it, the education chief kicked the ball over.
"The current situation can only retreat!" Commander Chu said helplessly: "Of course, we have to report this situation to Shangfeng. It was just that our regiment's radio station broke the Japanese cannon, so we have to trouble Commander Zhang!"
"This is what it should be!" The Education Chief immediately shouted at the communication soldier behind him: "1 Xiao Xu, take Chief Chu to the radio room and report to the Shangfeng!"
"Yes!" Xiao Xu responded and immediately led Commander Chu to the radio room.
I knew in my heart that the Education Chief was a little cautious at this time, because in fact, the Education Chief himself knew that our army could not defend under such circumstances. As the saying goes, it is difficult to cook without rice. If there are no bullets in the army, what else can we fight with the Japanese? Although there have been many cases of fighting with big swords and stones in history to fight against the enemy, all such battles are guarding dangerous places. What do we have now? There is not even a decent trench!
However, it was obvious that the education director was unwilling to go to Shangfeng with Captain Zhang to ask for instructions. Why is this? After considering it, I quickly understood the reason...
"Company Commander Fang!" At this time, the Education Chief spoke. He looked at the map and mopped his chin and said, "What do you think about this?"
"This..." I hesitated and replied: "I don't think it's possible for the Shangfeng to agree to our withdrawal!"
"Speak!" Jiaoqi Chang said with a calm face.
"Luodian is the midpoint of our army's defense line!" I said: "In other words, the key to our anti-landing war is also the key to seven inches. If Luodian is lost, the entire defense line will be divided into two and fight each other. Next, the Japanese army will soon use Luodian as a breakthrough to expand the results of the battle, causing the entire defense line of our army to collapse. The collapse of our defense line means that Shanghai will be surrounded, which will directly lead to the retreat of our army. Therefore... the upper peak would rather let us fight to the last soldier than let us take a step back! The only possibility is to try our best to agree to send more reinforcements to transport supplies!"
"Yes!" The Education Chief nodded slightly: "I know I can't defend but I have to defend it. This is probably the fate of our army!"
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but feel sank, knowing that the Education Chief was ready to fight to the end.
"Captain Zhang!" After a while, he saw Captain Chu walking up with some frustration and said, "The meaning of going up to the peak is... let's defend the death."
After saying this, the people in the command center were silent. Although they had known this answer based on my previous analysis, they were still different now after it was confirmed.
"But there is good news!" Commander Chu continued: "Shangfeng believes that the Japanese artillery shells have been fired for three days and three nights. It is estimated that there are not many reserves. Now the enemy mainly relies on planes to block our army's supplies. As long as the plane of a black ghost can't be dispatched. So the Shangfeng means that as long as we guard until nightfall, they will send reinforcements and supplies."
“The problem is…
"The chief of education took out his pocket watch and looked at it, saying, "It's at least one hour before dark, and the Japanese army is about to attack. How can we guard for an hour!"
No one answered, because the gap in power was obvious. Our army only had two regiments in Luodian, and after three days and three nights of bombing, the Japanese army lost personnel and were seriously exhausted. What was worse was that they were short of food and bullets. What about the Japanese army? They could use a brigade as the vanguard, and their main force would naturally not be small. In addition, they still had good equipment and were well-maintained. In this case, let alone defending for an hour, they were afraid that a charge would defeat us in a broken army.
"Room!" At this time, an officer broke the dull atmosphere of the command center and said, "I think it is not difficult to keep for an hour. Didn't the Japanese killers be killed by us in the battle just now?
Another officer quickly responded and said, "Japan was careless just now. After a round of shelling, they didn't know where our defense line was. How could this be the same as Japan?"
Upon hearing this, I was stunned and continued, saying, "Yes! In the last battle, the Japanese army didn't know where our defense line was, so they suffered a great loss. Now the Japanese army has determined the location of our defense line. What if we push the defense line forward one or two hundred meters?"
"Push the line of defense forward?" Hearing this, everyone cast incredible eyes at me.
