There were only two words on the telegram - attack.
Lao Shou and Sun Shiyu glanced at each other, and then said overjoyed together: "The group is here, hahaha!"
Lao Snoring quickly said: "Old Sun, hurry up and suppress the artillery fire. I will lead the charge."
Sun Shiyu asked: "Lao Shou, are you more careful?"
"Don't worry, I know it."
Lao Shou said and left, going out to assemble the team. Because this time the charge was a full charge, Lao Shou's time in the independent regiment was still too short. He listened to the old men of the independent regiment, including Sun Shiyu, telling them about Xie Jiaqiao
That battle. The battle was so fierce that several regiments charged in full force and swallowed up one of the Little Japanese's brigade.
Sun Shiyu said: At that time, no one thought that the battle could be fought like this. Because the little devils built bunkers and fortifications on the mountain.
But it was useless. In the sound of artillery fire, thousands of people rushed over like surging waves and drowned the little devils. The little devils were frightened and many of them had wet pants when they died.
But Lao Shou didn't catch up. He only joined the independent regiment after the Dragon Boat Festival defense battle in Changshu.
So at this time, when he heard that all troops were required to charge, this little old man in his fifties felt very happy.
Of course, momentum is indispensable for charging. This old snoring was once one of the most powerful veterans.
In the shelter, it was a mixed place. Many of them were veterans.
However, among these veterans, Lao Shou was ranked first.
First, Lao Shou is really capable. If you want to survive on the battlefield, you have to go to him. And second, Lao Shou will say that he can tell you a reason for everything, so even some veteran oilmen
, and all obeyed him.
So at this time, Lao Shou started the mobilization work, which was also very handy.
Lao Snoring shouted: "Brothers, the regiment is here and sent us a telegram. He just said two words, that is, attack.
The old man of the Independent Regiment once told me what it means to charge with all members of the Independent Regiment.
Just at Xiejiaqiao, our regiment led a group charge and captured the Jaap's artillery position. Then there was another group charge, and the Jaap's brigade was just gone.
This old Sun told me that when they were cleaning the battlefield, they saw many little Japs who peed their pants and left, hahaha!
So don’t give me a damn for a while. Wherever I rush, you have to follow me wherever I rush, do you hear me?"
"yes!"
All the soldiers roared, including the infantrymen of Sun Shiyu's second battalion.
The Dragon Boat Festival regiment is a bit special. Although the entire regiment is divided into five battalions, it is actually seven battalions.
There are four infantry battalions and one baggage battalion. However, there is also an artillery battalion in the second battalion, and there is also a cavalry battalion in the baggage battalion.
And the second battalion in particular had the largest number of people, reaching more than 1,300 people.
Among them, the infantry is a regular configuration, while the artillery has more than 300 and nearly 400 people.
Therefore, what Akasha Yaezo said is right. He has indeed never seen such an army. There are more than 1,300 people in a battalion, and there is also an artillery battalion organized in the infantry battalion. This artillery battalion,
He can definitely challenge his two artillery squadrons.
Of course, Akashiba Yaezo did not know this and only thought that he had encountered a division of the main Chinese force. And he also said the same when reporting to Kitashirakawarai.
He said that all of his nearly four brigades were intercepted by the enemy, who had at least one division.
Kitashirakawa was a little unconvinced, because before he took action, he had investigated the military strength near Bengbu and found that there were not that many troops near Bengbu. And the only one that could reach the size of a division was probably the Dragon Boat Festival Independent Regiment.
So Kitashirakawa asked the communications soldier to tell Akashiba Yaezo that what they encountered was most likely the first independent regiment in the Dragon Boat Festival.
But Akashiba Yaezo didn't believe this at all, because how could there be so many people in one group?
And Kitashirakawa Xi also did not make it clear that the Dragon Boat Festival regiment, even if it is not as large as a division, is still half a division.
But Kitashirakawa Aoi is not someone who wants to talk too much to his subordinates, so Akashiba Yaezo still doesn't understand who he is fighting with.
However, Kitashirakawa's order made him very happy, because he could finally fight according to his own tactics.
He gathered his troops and prepared to break away from the battle and head for Highland No. 3. However, at this moment, a series of rumbling explosions came, and immediately after, his position felt as if it was swept by a sandstorm.
Black smoke mixed with a large amount of sediment rushed over in an instant, almost overturning his temporary command room.
"what's the situation?"
Akashiba Yaezo asked loudly.
A Japanese soldier ran in in a panic and said: "Your Excellency, for unknown reasons, the enemy's artillery position advanced five hundred meters and carpet bombed our positions. Many imperial troops were shattered. And they
There are signs of a charge, but the reason is currently unknown.”
"Bagayalu, these Chinese people are just a bunch of lunatics. Really, why am I so unlucky?"
Akashiba Yaezo was very angry, and after a brief thought, he ordered: "Order the third brigade to use a small group of imperial troops to resist the enemy's attack first, and the rest of the people to retreat quickly. We are going to high ground No. 3, where
Join the First Brigade and the Second Brigade. Do you understand?"
"Hi!"
The Japanese soldiers took the order and immediately went to deliver the order. At this time, four disgraced officers got into Akashiba Yaezo's tent again.
One of them said: "Your Excellency, the enemy's attack is very fierce. The Third Infantry Squadron of the Third Battalion has been bombed and is not fully organized. Moreover, there are many explosions in the position, and all the imperial troops are very panicked. Moreover, the enemy's artillery positions are still intact.
There are signs of moving forward.”
"Baga, where are our artillery?"
Akashiba Yaezo asked angrily, and one of the officers said: "Your Excellency, our artillery suffered very heavy losses in the artillery battle last night, and you just ordered to retreat. The artillery has broken down the mortar and the shells have also been destroyed."
Boxed.”
"Damn it, our enemies are like having eyes in the sky, they can predict any of our actions in advance.
Forget it, I have ordered the Third Infantry Group to contain the enemy. You go back immediately, gather the troops, and we retreat to Highland No. 3."
Akashiba Yaezo gave the order again, and the four Japanese officers responded and then split up to deliver the order and look for their own troops.
At this time, the shells fell on the Japs' position as if they were free of charge. The Japs who had not had time to evacuate were scurrying around the position holding their heads.
As for whether Akashiba Yaezo's order can be conveyed to the frontline troops of the Third Battalion, it depends on the luck of the messenger!
PS: The new year has begun, and Shu also sincerely wishes all brothers good health, smooth work, happy life, and constant laughter! Good luck in the Year of the Rabbit!
