The gunfire stopped, and the position became quiet again.
The Japanese attack was repulsed again, but Gong Xinliang's position was still impregnable. The Japanese fought for a long time but could not take advantage. It became a hard bone that the Japanese could not chew. Of course, several more soldiers died in this battle.
During the fierce battle, this made Gong Xin feel heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.
They are also humans, not gods. As long as they fight, there will be sacrifices. This is an unbreakable truth. As the battalion commander and a veteran soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles, Gong Xinliang naturally knows it very well, but he still feels severe pain in his heart.
These soldiers are treated as brothers by him. Although the training is very strict, even harsh, and they are beaten and scolded at every turn, it is for their own good. Only by learning true skills can they be more effective on the battlefield.
A chance to survive.
Now looking at the living lives turned into cold corpses on the ground, everyone feels the same.
The instructor walked over from the side, carrying an automatic rifle in his hand. It was obvious that he was exhausted. As soon as he saw Gong Xinliang, he said, "Old Gong, our situation doesn't seem to be good. There are two Japs behind us."
The troops have cut off our retreat route, and they seem to be planning to attack us from both front and rear."
Gong Xinliang frowned and asked the instructor, "Has the time for the mission given to us by the regiment leader arrived?"
"We're early, it's already been ten minutes." The instructor naturally looked at the time early, so he said this.
Hearing what the instructor said, Gong Xinliang's face relaxed. He smiled and said, "As long as the task is completed, then I am not afraid of anything. The worst is to fight with the Japanese. Anyway, we have killed so many Japanese. We are good enough."
.”
"We can't act recklessly. I think we should break out of the enemy encirclement as soon as possible before it is formed." The instructor said with a serious face.
Gong Xinliang shook his head and said, "We can't break out like this. You think the regiment leader and his friends have just rushed through Dawang Mountain. If we break out at this time, the Japs' attention will definitely shift to the regiment leader and them. In this way, they
The pressure will suddenly increase, which is very detrimental to the march."
The instructor nodded, and then said, "Lao Gong, you are right. As soon as we break through, the Japanese will definitely understand our intentions immediately. If the Kwantung Army headquarters in Lushun City is notified, the enemy will definitely be on the way to the regiment commander and their advance."
There are heavy troops blocking the road, which will greatly delay their progress."
"So I decided to stick to this place for at least half an hour, so as to buy enough time for the group leader and the others." Gong Xinliang said with excitement, as if this decision was not likely to determine their life or death, but instead seemed to be considering taking an outing.
It's just as easy as not bringing bread.
"Okay, Lao Gong, I support you." The instructor nodded in agreement, and then went down to assign the task.
In this way, Gong Xinliang and the others still have to hold on to this position, and they have to hold on for half an hour.
After learning the news, the soldiers were very calm. No one showed any frustration or dissatisfaction. Instead, they energetically began to rest and repair the fortifications and bunkers in preparation for the next standstill.
The first position was busy in full swing, and the Japs had a rare pause in their attack. On the one hand, they had to wait for the two squadrons to arrive, and on the other hand, the continuous attacks were too much for the Japs, and they had to stop and take a rest.
.
As a result, the gunfire on the position stopped and there was a moment of calm. In the position, the soldiers were busy building fortifications, while in the Japanese position opposite, they were sitting in the trenches eating canned beef.
Inside the headquarters, the Japs' captain looked serious. He held up a telescope and was observing Gong Xinliang's position with a puzzled look on his face. "It's strange, what on earth does this Chinese army want to do? It will lay down the first line of defense and then stop attacking.
Instead, they are holding on there. Even if they are surrounded now, they have no intention of breaking out. Instead, they are reinforcing the fortifications and assuming a defensive posture. What is their intention?"
This situation is so strange. The Japanese captain has commanded so many battles, but this is the first time he has seen such a situation. It is really puzzling.
"Is this so?" The Japanese captain frowned and thought for a long time. An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, which shocked him and hurriedly grabbed the phone, "Kwantung Army Headquarters, this is the Black Mountain Defense Line.
Important situations should be reported to the commander."
"Okay, the situation you reported is very important. We will report it to the commander immediately." After listening to the Japanese captain's guess, the staff officers of several headquarters also realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately reported it to the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shige.
.
After listening to the staff report, Honjo Shige pondered for a moment, and then issued an order, "I order the Mishima Regiment of the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade to set off immediately and rush to the Montenegro front line. The specific tasks are awaiting orders."
The staff officer went down to deliver the order.
The Three Islands Regiment stationed in Lushun City immediately set off, leaving the city from the north gate of Lushun and rushing to the front line of defense in Montenegro, preparing to implement the commander's combat plan.
With the departure of the Three Islands Regiment, the Japanese army only left one garrison brigade in Lushun City, with only more than 500 people, and its combat effectiveness was not very strong.
The city of Lushun is empty!
Two kilometers northwest of Lushun City, in a forest, the two battalions of Li Wengong's regiment that had successfully broken through and the independent fifth brigade led by Zhou He had converged.
The Independent Fifth Battalion led by Zhou He broke through from the front line east of Dahuang Shandong. The enemy's defense on their side was slightly weaker, but much tighter than that at Dawang Mountain, so the Independent Fifth Battalion also suffered casualties.
After joining together, the people on both sides were very happy. Now the troops were much stronger, and the next trip was easier.
Li Wengong and Zhou He were both acquaintances. They had studied in the same middle school, were classmates, and had a good relationship. Naturally, they were very happy to meet each other.
"Lao Li, you guys are pretty good. You actually ran faster than me and got here ahead of time." After a few words of greeting, Zhou He said with a smile, "I'm a life-and-death fight, and it took a lot of effort to get here.
"
Li Wengong did not laugh, but sighed, "Grandma, Fatty Zhou, don't be angry with me. I made a greater sacrifice than you this time. A battalion was blocked on the Black Mountain defense line and has not returned to the army yet.
.”
"What's going on? Tell me." Seeing that Li Wengong didn't look good, Zhou He put away his smile and asked.
"It's not just to attract the attention of the Japanese -" Li Wengong cursed and then told the story again, "I was told to hold on for ten minutes and retreat immediately to catch up with the main force, but Gong Xinliang actually made his own decisions and said
Isn't it nonsense to stay here to attract the Japanese?"
There are walkie-talkies between commanders and fighters at all levels in the Yanhuang Army, so communication is very convenient. Gong Xinliang has already told him his plan, and does not care whether he agrees or not, and then controls the walkie-talkie, leaving him with nothing to say.
Opportunity.
After hearing Gong Xinliang's decision, Zhou He couldn't help but sigh, "This guy is a man. He wants to attract the attention of the Japanese for us, so as to reduce our pressure."
"Then what should we do?" Li Wengong asked Zhou He. He knew that his old classmate had been mean-spirited since he was in school.
Zhou He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "We can no longer stop this matter, and it is unrealistic to go back to rescue. Now there is a way to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. I don't know if it will be effective."
"What can I do? Please tell me." Li Wengong said anxiously.
Zhou He then said, "This plan is a bit risky, but if it succeeds, not only can Gong Xinliang's battalion be rescued, but we can also rush to the Port of Port Arthur as quickly as possible to complete the mission."
Li Wengong became a little anxious and shouted, "Old Zhou, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly."
Zhou He nodded and laughed, "Gong Xinliang attracted the attention of the Japs at the Black Mountain defense line. I guess the Japs must have thought that he was acting as a bait to attract some Japs and then annihilate them with large forces. So how will the Japs react?"
"
"Of course, we should send out all the troops to counter the siege and kill all the troops who were preparing to ambush them." Li Wengong said angrily, but then his eyes lit up, "Could it be that you are planning to -"
"By the way, you're not stupid either." Zhou He burst out laughing.
Li Wengong also laughed.
At this time, the soldiers in charge of the investigation came back and brought back the latest news, saying that the Japs in Lushun City were out in force and heading towards the Black Mountain defense line. There should not be many people left in Lushun City now.
Li Wengong punched the big tree next to him, then smiled and said, "Okay, you guessed it right."
The two men hurriedly summoned their commanders and fighters and began to assign tasks.
As soon as they heard about this mission, everyone's eyes lit up and their spirits were raised. Although this mission had certain risks, it was very tempting and excited these guys who are not afraid of anything.
After discussing what to do, the team set off. Instead of passing through the west of Lushun City along the planned route, they changed direction and went straight to the north gate of Lushun City. It seemed that the route was intended to pass through Lushun City.
However, there are still hundreds of Japs in Lushun City, and there are more than 2,000 puppet troops. And once the battle in Lushun City is started, the Japs and puppet troops in the surrounding towns can quickly support them. Once they are dragged into the city, the consequences will be
It was very serious, so it was a bit risky for Li Wengong and others to do this.
Of course, although the risk of doing so is high, the benefits are also very attractive. Once successful, it will not only save Gong Xinliang's camp, which is surrounded by the Japanese, but also inflict heavy damage on the Japanese, hit the Japanese psychologically and physically, and encourage anti-Japanese resistance.
The confidence and fighting spirit of the forces.
In this way, a group of daring guys started a very risky gamble!
