In order to support the operations of frontline troops as much as possible and reduce the possible interruption of firepower due to excessive consumption of ammunition, the Japanese army moved into this semi-underground artillery fortification, and tens of thousands of artillery shells of various calibers that had been installed with fuses were detonated, causing huge damage. With great strength, the Japanese semi-underground hidden fortification, which was not small in size and could accommodate eight 155 heavy artillery pieces inside, was raised to the sky together with the artillery inside, and the four artillery fortifications above it were also lifted up together. Western sky.
It was as if an earthquake had occurred around the hidden unit. The huge shock wave generated by the violent explosion shook everyone standing within a few kilometers. Even outside the hidden unit, the hidden unit was being blocked and prepared to encircle and suppress people from inside. A Japanese squadron of the anti-alliance forces that broke out failed to survive this violent explosion.
Either he was hit by scattered shrapnel, or his internal organs were shattered by the huge shock wave and he was shocked to death. When the violent explosion ended, there was an entire artillery position hidden underground, plus a rather large area for the wing headquarters. There is nothing left in the mass grave except a big pit.
Liu Fei, who was retreating, and the three remaining soldiers of the Sixth Company broke into the Japanese position. Their eyes were filled with tears when they saw this scene. They knew that they would never see their company commander again, nor would they see that man again. The young platoon leader, who looked very honest with his smile, and the comrades who died in the Japanese fortifications.
Although they are still unable to predict what the final result of their raid will be, they know that this earth-shattering explosion will even alarm the entire Yushu County Civil War Front, and even make them want to restrain themselves for their comrades. It is almost impossible to find a complete corpse.
Although the pain in his heart was heartbreaking, and although he was reluctant to bear the sacrifice of his comrades here, Liu Fei knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time. He had now penetrated deep into the Japanese army. If he could not take advantage of the Japanese army to be destroyed by this explosion, The chaos caused by this situation is prominent, and when the Japanese army reacts, they may never have a chance to break out.
For Liu Fei, he thought that his death was not a pity, but the Japanese secret maps and radio passwords in his bag must not be wasted. These things were the same as the Japanese artillery positions that had become a pile of ruins. They were all bought by their comrades with their lives. No matter what, I must hand them over to the hands of my superiors. This is a promise I must fulfill to my comrades who have sacrificed their lives.
Thinking of this, Liu Fei did not stay here any longer. He wiped the tears that overflowed from his eyes, and took the three remaining soldiers around him to use the chaos caused by the explosion to the Japanese army. With Liu Fei's keen sense of smell, he carefully He avoided all encounters with the Japanese troops and finally returned to his troops in the early morning.
When Liu Fei solemnly handed the satchel containing the Japanese secret map and password to the regiment commander, he saw that the regiment commander's eyes were also red. He knew that this was the regiment commander's sacrifice for the death of his beloved general and for the whole regiment. Almost all of the most elite companies were sacrificed, and they were falling into inner pain.
To allow an infantry company that has not received any reconnaissance training to carry out the task of going deep into the Japanese positions and finding and destroying artillery positions under extremely disparity in strength is almost like asking them to die, even if they are The hope of completing the mission and escaping unharmed is extremely slim.
If the Japanese army could easily get rid of their opponents after being taken advantage of in their deep positions, then the Anti-Japanese Alliance would have already reached Tokyo, where the Japanese army could still occupy most of China, and how could this The war that has engulfed half of China continues.
Looking at the somewhat hurt face of the regiment leader, Liu Fei's tears did not stay anymore. For him, the tears had already dried up the moment the platoon detonated the explosives, and he would no longer shed tears. For Liu Fei and the other survivors, this is not the cruelest news.
After returning to the regiment, he learned that in addition to annihilating his entire army, another group led by the instructor and deputy company commander had made a feint in order to attract as many troops to him as possible after they infiltrated into the Japanese positions. Around them, those who were covering them also forcibly advanced more than 500 meters toward the Japanese position.
However, under the siege of the Japanese army, which concentrated an absolutely superior force of a squadron, except for two seriously injured soldiers who returned to the starting position, almost all of them died. Before the operation, the Sixth Company, the one with the most complete structure of the Twenty-seventh Regiment, was There are only four of them left in the company now. In this battle, the once sharp knife of the Sixth Company was completely compromised.
Wang Yuyang solemnly took the map and password handed over by Liu Fei and handed it to the chief of staff beside him. He looked at the young acting company commander of the sixth company in front of him, and his only three remaining soldiers, including two lightly wounded. The subordinates couldn't help but say with a sigh: "You have done a very good job. Under such a bad situation with the enemy being outnumbered and the situation being so bad, you not only penetrated deep into the Japanese army's positions, but also successfully completed the tasks assigned by the regiment. You are all heroes."
"I, the head of the delegation, thank you for the sacrifices you have made to complete the mission. Your achievements will never be forgotten by the people. Please rest assured that I, as the head of the delegation, guarantee that I will complete the mission as soon as possible." Once your company recovers, I promise that we will replenish you as quickly as possible. The Sixth Company will always be a sharp knife for our Twenty-seventh Regiment."
Wang Yuyang here comforted Liu Fei and the remaining three soldiers of the Sixth Company, promising to reorganize the Sixth Company as quickly as possible. Over there, the chief of staff who was watching the map handed over by Liu Fei suddenly said with excitement: "Captain, these maps not only include the overall defense posture deployment map of the 28th Regiment, but also the deployment maps of the Japanese troops in Yushu and Fuyu counties."
"There is even a map of the overall deployment of all Japanese troops north of Xinjing. This map not only shows the defense ranges of various Japanese divisions, but also the deployment areas of Japanese field airports, heavy artillery groups, and tank groups. It also has the words "Kanto" printed on it. Military headquarters number."
After hearing what the Chief of Staff said, Wang Yuyang quickly turned to the Chief of Staff and said with some doubt: "How do you know that these are the maps of the overall deployment of the Japanese army? Are you sure? How could such an important map be used?" Appearing in a Japanese wing headquarters, man, this is no joke, you have to know that if this map is handed over, our entire deployment may have to be adjusted."
Regarding Wang Yuyang's suspicion, the chief of staff excitedly laid the map on a table made of ammunition boxes in the headquarters, clicked on the target above with his hand and said: "Captain, I know some Japanese. Look, commander, this The airport, Japanese ammunition depots, tanks, heavy artillery groups, and reserve assembly areas are all marked above, and there are also some things that were not included in the enemy situation report issued by our superiors."
Having said this, the chief of staff pointed to the junction of southern Yushu and Dehui and said: "Commander, look, here from Wushu to Changjiatun in the southern part of Yushu, there are three secret ammunition depots of the Japanese army, and there are Assembly point for an independent tank regiment and a cavalry regiment."
"Also, in the triangle area of Xinlitun, Baoshou Tun, and Fanjiadian, there is an infantry regiment of the Japanese army, a field artillery brigade, another 150 heavy artillery squadron, an ammunition transfer station, and oil supplies. Warehouse, and judging from the location here, this should be a reserve gathering place for the Japanese army on the central front. These are things that the superiors did not have in the previous enemy situation report."
"Although I don't know why this map appears in a regiment-level headquarters of the 28th Regiment, I know that this map is definitely not fake. Commander, with the arrogance of the Japanese It seems that they will not use a coalition to create false impressions to lure us into taking the bait. This map must be real."
Seeing the chief of staff pointing out the equipment and troops secretly hoarded by the Japanese army in various regions one by one, Wang Yuyang couldn't help but feel a little excited: "This map turns out to be a treasure. You immediately organize people to first locate the enemy's positions in our combat area." After marking it, arrange for the most capable staff officer to be sent to the division headquarters immediately. With this map, the Kwantung Army's deployment situation on the entire front line from Zhendong in the west to Wangqing in the east is no longer secret to us. .”
After telling the chief of staff to immediately send this kind of map to the division headquarters, Wang Yuyang turned to look at Liu Fei and said: "You have done a great job this time. Not only did you destroy the Japanese artillery that caused us heavy losses during the daytime battle, you also obtained Such a good thing is really good. You go and rest first. When the battle is over, I will give you credit and all the cadres and soldiers of the Sixth Company."
In response to Wang Yuyang's praise, Liu Fei shook his head and said: "Captain, we don't need to ask for credit. We just hope that the company commander's blood will not be shed in vain. We also hope that the new sixth company can be reorganized as soon as possible. And the commander, We don't need to rest, please organize us into combat units, any company will do."
"We want to avenge our brothers in the company. Our entire company is lying there. We can't survive alone. The few of us who came back alive are just to send this information back. Now our mission has been It’s done, if we can’t avenge them, we will be wearing this military uniform in vain.”
Regarding Liu Fei's request, Wang Yuyang shook his head and said: "No, you are the seeds of the Sixth Company. With you here, I believe that the Sixth Company will be reborn from the ashes in the near future. In the new Sixth Company I will not let you go on the battlefield again until you have reorganized and become combat effective, because you, as seeds, will pass on the soul of the Sixth Company forever."
"I can't let the sharpest knife company in my hand be cut off from here. I believe that as long as you are here, the new sixth company will become the sharpest knife in our regiment in the shortest time. , you are soldiers, you must obey orders, go down and rest now, recuperate your energy, and retrain me a sharp knife company in the shortest possible time."
