The September night was already very cool, and with the violent storms falling continuously, the soldiers in single clothes couldn't help but shiver. Meng Da stood in front of the team that was preparing to set off, and inspected the soldiers he had selected with a stern gaze.
He knows that sneak attacks are very dangerous. Once his whereabouts are exposed in advance, he may never return.
"Move quickly and be silent. Once the action plan is exposed, we have to launch a strong attack. In order for everyone to come back alive, brothers, please strictly abide by military discipline!"
"clear!"
"Start the operation at midnight, seize the Japanese artillery position before three o'clock, and start the artillery strike at four o'clock in the morning. Remember, the artillery bombardment only lasts for five minutes. Don't wait for orders. All companies must be killed! In order to completely defeat the Japanese army at our hands,
Brothers, please work in pairs to cover each other and eliminate the enemy. Now I give the order: Go!"
"Stand at attention! Turn right, step forward!" The commander of the 11th Division, who personally led the troops, began to give orders for the troops to march toward the forward position.
Li Shusen was determined to win this battle, but he also knew that he was going to hell to deal with the King of Hell. He took Meng Da's hand and said emotionally: "Good brother, I wish you a triumphant return!"
The Tiangu detachment of the Japanese army made the Japanese suffer a lot in Luodian. Both sides fought for this small Luodian and suffered heavy casualties. More than 9,000 people died on each side. The whole Luodian was filled with blood and corpses were everywhere. Meng Da knew that everyone was holding back.
Being full of anger, a sneak attack on more than 800 enemies in person could not determine the outcome of the battle, but it also had a soothing effect on those who had lost their fighting spirit.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, we will win this battle!" Meng Da is not arrogant, but has been fully prepared.
"If my regiment cannot come back, Li will soon become the bare commander." Li Shusen said tragically, and he wanted Meng Da to understand the situation in front of him.
The battle for Luodian has become a battleground for both sides. There are more than 700 shops here, with developed commerce and convenient transportation. To the south, you can reach Liuhang and Dachang, threatening Zhanghuabang and Yunzaobang; to the west, you can reach Jiading,
Anting, occupying the Nanjing-Shanghai railway line. Matsui Iwane believed that by controlling Luodian, he would have the initiative in the Songhu Campaign.
Meng Da knew the importance of this place very well, and also knew Li Shusen's hesitant mood. He looked at Mr. Li seriously: "Don't worry, I can't guarantee that all the brothers will come back in this battle, but I can guarantee that the brothers who come back after victory will
There must be no less than 800 people!"
"I'll be satisfied if I can get half of them back!" Li Shusen knew how ferocious the Japs were. A thousand men were sent to fight against 800 Japanese troops. If he was asked to command this battle, annihilating the entire army and killing the Japs would be the biggest result.
"General, there is no need to be so pessimistic." Meng Da knew that only after the war could the general feel relieved. He waved and took Lu Shijie and Fang Zhenshan to bid farewell.
On the forward position, Gao Kuiyuan, commander of the 83rd Regiment, was making final preparations with Meng Da. One regiment, three battalions, and nine companies were advancing together to take advantage of the dark night and storm to complete the sneak attack. Meng Da told Gao Kuiyuan: "Gao Kuiyuan."
Commander, only after I occupy the Japanese artillery position and launch illumination bombs, all other troops must press on!"
"Yes, don't worry, instructor!" Gao Kuiyuan did not dare to look down on the young man in front of him. He heard that it had only been less than a week since he shot thirty-eight Japanese soldiers by himself. He sincerely admired such a tiger general.
"What I'm most worried about is to alert the enemy. I ask Commander Gao to tell everyone that a sneak attack will not work and a strong attack will cause a lot of casualties!" Meng Da kept urging, for the sake of brother **'s life, please be cautious and cautious.
!
Gao Kuiyuan looked at his subordinates and said sternly: "Who dares to expose this sneak attack? The leader will be guilty of the same crime as the violator!"
"Yes!" Everyone answered tremblingly, knowing that this was a very risky battle.
"Tell the brothers to have a good rest." Meng Da saw that the outcome of the meeting had been reached and asked everyone to have a good rest and wait for action in the middle of the night.
In Huang Wei's division headquarters, Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying were watching this dangerous battle. The short Chen Cheng smiled and asked: "I heard that Meng Da met you in Germany?"
Huang Wei laughed loudly: "Crazy Qiu and I are both frequent visitors to his house. To be honest, all my food and accommodation expenses during my year in Germany were this guy's."
"He is a doctor, and he can actually know such a big shot as William Lister!" Luo Zhuoying was even more curious. He couldn't understand why a German lieutenant general had such a relationship with a young man.
"Oh, William Lister was born in a family of doctors in Oberskirchburg. People won't believe that Jiang Shilin, who died in the Eastern Expedition, was this boy's eldest brother-in-law." Huang Wei knew that Chen Cheng would not.
Forget about the Huangpu student of the past, now he told the story about Jiang Shilin and Mengda's family.
"That's it!" Chen Cheng understood that Meng Da's military studies were completely influenced by Jiang Shilin.
Meng Da's actions in the Sixty-seventh Division were dubious after Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying learned about them. They heard about tonight's action and must come to watch it. After waiting most of the night, when the troops started to attack, they discovered
This army seemed to have changed a lot. All actions were orderly, and there were only faint footsteps in the quiet night.
"What kind of trick is this?" Luo Zhuoying watched as the nine companies set off at the same time, moving in circuitous directions in different directions.
"Eight companies were responsible for besieging the Japanese barracks. He personally led a company to seize the Japanese artillery fire." Li Shusen watched with heart in his heart. Only when the flares went up could he put his heart in his stomach.
"Use the enemy's artillery fire to destroy their barracks, Gao!" Luo Zhuoying was overjoyed. He stared at Meng Da's figure with his binoculars and said with emotion: "The pace is steady. It's obvious that he has good martial arts. Follow him.
Both of them are also masters."
"One is his boxing master, and the black boy is the school boy he grew up with. The three of them are like gods in marksmanship, and they are also very versatile." Huang Wei began to tell about everything he saw in Germany, especially Meng Da.
His special killing skills, no one can perform three moves and two moves under him.
The Japanese barracks were only more than 3,000 meters away from the enemy positions. Meng Da led a company and a sharpshooter sniper squad selected by him, and lurked under the noses of the Japanese army in an hour. He, Lu Shijie, and Fang Zhenshan acted at the same time, crawling
They approached the Japanese sentries. The rain was pouring down, and the throats of the two sentries were cut with daggers from behind.
A company of soldiers rushed over, and they stabbed the sleeping Japanese soldiers in the chest with their rifle bayonets. The Japanese soldiers who woke up screamed, but the soldiers who were jealous of being killed used their rifle butts and bayonets to harvest.
On the rise of life, Lu Shijie embraced the Japanese soldiers with his bare hands and crushed their throats with two fingers.
"Quick, turn the muzzle and prepare to shoot!" More than a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed in the barracks. When the battle was over, Meng Da began to give instructions on the next action plan. The Japanese mortars and grenades were already under his control.
In his hand, he saw boxes of artillery shells in the tent, and he knew that this was the Japanese army preparing for a crazy attack after dawn.
"Adjust the unit and fire all the artillery shells for me!" The artillery company commander who followed over was overjoyed and unceremoniously allowed him to enjoy a rich battle.
"Hey, keep half of it." Meng Da couldn't help but laugh. He was going to take these artillery fires back. The Luodian battle would not end in a short time, so long-term considerations must be taken.
"Fire!" The artillery company commander gave the order to the troops who were preparing to open fire with a dark look on his face.
"Boom, boom, boom——"
The artillery fire rang out earth-shakingly, and the Japanese barracks suddenly burst into flames, and the howling of ghosts and wolves became a mess. Everyone watched with their breaths closed, knowing that this sneak attack was about to end perfectly. After ten minutes of artillery fire, there was an earth-shattering sound all around.
The cry of killing.
"kill!"
The Japanese soldiers rushed over majestically. The bright light of the three flares gave the Japanese soldiers nowhere to hide and no time to find weapons. On one side were fully armed fighters, and on the other side were naked dwarfs dancing in the fire.
.Huang Wei laughed loudly: "Okay, the brothers of the 11th Division fought with great force!"
"Quick, push your troops up. We have all the supplies of the Japanese army." Chen Cheng was happy but still calm. The Japanese army was attacked this time and more ferocious troops would be transferred soon.
While the headquarters was celebrating victory, Meng Da came back with a company of soldiers on horseback, dragging artillery fire. Chen Cheng went over to greet him in person, and solemnly gave the young man a military salute. He was stunned.
The person in front of him had a very high official position, but it was a pity that he didn't recognize him.
"This is Commander Chen, the commander of the 15th Group Army." Huang Wei looked at the dazed brat and hurriedly reminded him.
"Haha, Chief Chen brought so many reporters here, aren't you afraid if the operation fails?" Meng Da couldn't help but laugh, he felt a little uncomfortable in front of the camera.
Chinese and foreign reporters flocked to the front line of Luodian to collect the latest news. For a time, Luodian became the focus of attention across the country. Chen Cheng smiled gently and said: "If you lose, I will blame you, but if you win, the credit is yours. Okay."
Boy, this battle was fought with absolute majesty, it is the most perfect victory since the Battle of Shanghai!"
"The enemy will be even crazier!" Meng Da knew that there would be no major battle within two days, but the Japanese army would come back sooner or later.
"Turn Luodian into a flesh and blood mill and let the Japanese tremble here!" Of course Chen Cheng knew, but he had to defend Luodian. He was very interested in Meng Da's tactics and said optimistically: "Give the position to the enemy during the day
, let’s take back the night.”
"Report to the general, I want to go home!" Meng Da requested unceremoniously, regardless of the presence of many reporters.
"Go home? How can you have a home without a country? Do you want to be a slave to the country's subjugation?" Chen Cheng was angry and wanted to pull out his gun and kill the brat!
"But, I'm not a soldier. I have to go home to see my parents!" Meng Da's attitude was very firm.
"No!" Chen Cheng lowered his face and hummed: "After this battle, I will let you go back to see your parents with great honor."
"Do you think the Japanese army will be blocked by the Japanese army from attacking? Sir, the little devil is determined to kill me. If you want to hold the front line of Shanghai, you must prevent the Japanese army from making detours and counter-encirclement. The Japanese army is concentrating warships on the Jinshanwei sea south of Shanghai. Is it possible?
No information?" Meng Da thought that staying here would only kill a few more Japanese, and the battle to defend Shanghai might not last long.
"This -" Chen Cheng was suddenly startled. He looked at Meng Da doubtfully. Can he believe what the young man said?
