The defense area is too large. Not to mention that the 301st and 303rd regiments are disabled. Even the two complete regiments cannot take full care of the defense line with a width of about three thousand meters.
Just after four o'clock, Bai Liusu received a call from the commander to go there. The officers and soldiers of a company of the 301st Regiment responsible for the defense there finally failed after withstanding three consecutive attacks by two Japanese brigades. In the end, only one man named * **The student soldiers ran out,
At that time, Bai Liusu had just commanded his men to repulse an attack by the Japanese army. Except for the cadets who were on the lookout, everyone else was lying on their fighting positions to rest. Suddenly, several cadets from the brigade's reconnaissance company helped a man come forward. Come,
When *** saw Bai Liusu for the first time, he had a look of guilt on his face and choked with sobs: "The guest seat has been lost."
"What." Bai Liusu sat up in shock,
Not far away, a pile of residual fire caused by the explosion was still burning. The firelight shone on ***'s face and body. The student soldier, whose body was covered in blood, suddenly fell to the ground and cried bitterly. : "All the brothers in our company are dead. In order to cover my evacuation, the company commander tied grenades on his body and died together with the Japs... The Japanese have a total of two thousand people. Brigade, there are too few of us, kid. Devil, little devil,.”
Bai Liusu's face turned pale, and she immediately said to a company commander named Yu Liangcheng: "Captain Yu, hurry up and get your company's troops to the west ridge, and bring a walkie-talkie. If the situation goes wrong, call for help immediately."
"Yes." Yu Liangcheng responded and ran towards his company's position.
Bai Liusu turned around to look for the hygienist and said, "Hurry up and bandage him. Xuebing, what's your name?"
*** raised his head and said with tears on his face: "Brigade, I'm fine. Brigade, it's not that I'm afraid of death. Our company's battle flag and the company commander's suicide notes are all on me. The company commander said The battle flag cannot fall into the hands of the enemy, and the last words the brothers wrote to their families must also be brought to the hotel. Can you keep it for me?" He said, and first took out a folded square from his body. The square military flag was raised, and then he held out a stack of letters,
Bai Liusu looked at the letters and the well-kept battle flag. His heart ached, but his expression became warm. He said Wen Yan: "Your company's battle flag will be kept by you until your company is rebuilt." One day, you have to raise it in person in front of the new recruits. Of course, those letters are still your responsibility. Your brothers believed in you and gave you this difficult task. What, do you want to let them down? .”
"No, Brigadier, I'm the only one left in the company. I, I want to go with the company commander and the others."
"Damn words." Bai Liusu's voice suddenly rose, and she shouted: "Death is not easy, you just need to stand higher now, I guarantee that in ten seconds at most, you will get what you want and live. Live to avenge your brothers who died in battle, this is what you should do now."
"Travel seat."
Bai Liusu ignored him, but looked around at the students around him and said: "Brothers, do you still remember the commander-in-chief's speech at the memorial meeting not long ago? Brothers, what a wonderful thing it is to be alive. , If possible, I would like to live to be a hundred years old. Well, I just kill one Japanese every year. You can calculate how many more Japanese I can kill. So, don’t give up easily. You have to think like this. As long as you are alive, there will be one more Jaap killer in our country. This is the right idea. In short, unless it is absolutely necessary, I do not agree with you taking the method of dying with the enemy. Have you heard me?"
"yes."
"I can't hear you. Why? I just beat you for a while and you can't speak anymore."
"yes."
The answer was still not loud. Of course, this was actually because Bai Liusu's hearing was damaged. A grenade exploded very close to her. Although it only wiped off a piece of her skin, it left her Her hearing was damaged, and she was about to continue questioning, when Qian Tai suddenly shouted victoriously: "The Japs are attacking again, at least two brigades."
The battle started again, and this time, the Japanese attack was wider. The Japanese from the two brigades formed five rows of skirmishers and launched another attack in a loose formation.
Flares rose into the sky one after another, and then the sound of grenades piercing the air was heard one after another. A few seconds later, there were violent explosions one after another, the Type 92 and the roar of the crooked-neck machine gun, in front of the defenders. From time to time, there is a heart-stopping sound of bullets entering the earth on the mound, and the dust is flying.
Bai Liusu was lying with his back against the mound, his eyes fixed on the direction heading back, with a worried look on his face. The Northbound Corps originally had five divisions, plus the troops directly under the Corps, there were nearly six divisions in total. If these six If all the divisions were in Pengze, then there would be no problem in the defensive battle at Madang. However, Ouyang Yun seemed to be afraid that the Japanese would not dare to attack Madang, so he sent three divisions that could be regarded as the main force to Jiangbei. The main force, you know, all the chariot troops of the northward legion are accompanying them.
A very strange thing is that before breaking up with Ouyang Yun, everything Ouyang Yun did was almost correct and necessary in Bai Liusu's eyes. However, since breaking up with him, she has some feelings about Ouyang Yun. But I couldn't understand the method at once, I really couldn't understand it. What Bai Liusu couldn't figure out was, is the life of the student soldier so worthless? Yes, this can indeed achieve the effect of weakening the Japanese army, but the premise is No matter what other people think, she feels that it is not worth the sacrifices of equivalent or even more students. After all, China has not yet reached the point where it will perish without leaving the student army.
Due to the severe shortage of troops, the defense of the entire Mianchuan Island had to rely on minefields and other emergency defense measures. From the top to the bottom of the water, nearly four kilometers were entirely minefields and man-made swamps. This method is good, but Bai Liusu expressed serious doubts about how effective it would really be.
The mines brought by the army heading north were limited. The so-called minefields were only more than thirty meters deep. The Japanese only needed a certain amount of time to clear them. Could it be said that when Ouyang Yun set up the minefields, he also set a time limit of two hours. Do you do calculations?
A new battle is about to begin, but the shadow of Ouyang Yun appears in the mind of commander Bai Liusu. Although she is thinking about Ouyang Yun's bad side, who knows whether this is love born of hate?
She was thinking about Ouyang Yun, but Ouyang Yun had no time to take care of her.
In the direction of Hukou, the battle between the remaining troops of the 12th Xuexi Division and the 106th Division also started, and the latest intelligence came out. After the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet was forced back by the artillery force of the Xuebing Army, some gunboats did not completely evacuate. It was escorting more than a dozen landing ships to the upper reaches.
The 106th Division continuously attacked Hukou and suffered serious losses in strength. In fact, after the withdrawal of the 35th Xuexue Brigade in Duchang, the Japanese army no longer had the advantage in strength. Moreover, the Japanese army gave up the route from the direction of Penglang Island. Therefore, Ouyang Yun was not worried at all that the 106th Division might break through the Hukou defense line.
As for the Yangtze River Fleet's possible landing of the Marine Corps on the south bank, Ouyang Yun was worried. The number of troops left behind in Madang was still too small. In order to ensure that the fortress had sufficient strength to defend the fortress, the artillery troops sent to Chenjiawan this time were even sent only An engineer battalion was assigned to guard the Yangtze River Fleet, because it was unclear how many infantrymen there were in the Yangtze River Fleet, and there was only one artillery regiment left in Chenjiawan, which was not enough to form an overwhelming firepower. Therefore, should some troops be detached from the fortress and take the initiative to attack the fortress? Japanese troops became a question that made him hesitate.
This information was accidentally detected by the military commander in Wangjiang County. Alerted by the sound of gunfire on Mianchuan Island, the military commander realized that the matter was serious and immediately reported it to his superiors, who immediately reported it. It was given to the corresponding department, and it was reported to Chen Cheng step by step. Chen Cheng did not hide anything and immediately telegraphed it to Ouyang Yun. Because the intelligence was not detected by his own people, it was impossible to obtain more detailed information. Ouyang Yun After some calculations, he finally transferred a regiment of Detachment of Women from his own guard regiment and set up a defense line at the Flower House about two kilometers away from Madang Fort.
This is the first time that the Niangziyun Guards have gone out into battle since they served as Ouyang Yun's security force. Thinking of some of the evil deeds of the little Japs, Ouyang Yun actually doesn't want to let a bunch of big girls face the vicious Japs. However, now he The only thing available at hand was the Niangzi Yunwei Regiment. This was also a last resort. To be on the safe side, he directly assigned Liu Kui to command them, and paid special attention to Liu Kui: "If nothing can be done, withdraw. How many people do I want them to have when they go?" There will still be many people coming back, do you understand what I mean?"
When Liu Kuigang received this order, he realized the difficulty of this trip. Hearing what he said, he couldn't help but beat his heart. However, he knew the strength and deployment of the fortress and knew that this was really a last resort. He gritted his teeth and said: "I'll do my best."
Liu Kui's words clearly showed a lack of confidence. Ouyang Yun became more and more uneasy after hearing this. He thought for a while and said, "Go to Chen Shichang and ask him for the encrypted phone number of the fortress artillery. I will allow you to call the fortress artillery for support."
Since the beginning of the war, the fortress artillery has not been used at full capacity. Ouyang Yun originally kept it as a surprise force to prevent unexpected events, but now, he had to use it in advance.
Liu Kui asked his deputy to summon the women's group to fight, while he went to find Chen Shichang.
After the battle started, Chief of Staff Chen Shichang became the busiest person in the headquarters. Because he needed to be familiar with every moment of the dynamics on the battlefield, he would make a round of phone calls to the front line almost every five minutes, and Liu Kui found him. When I arrived, I found that he was holding a phone in his left hand and a phone clamped around his neck. He was marking something on the map with his right hand.
Chen Shichang looked very unhappy at this moment, because He Zhengsheng, who was talking to him on the phone at this moment, reported bad news to him: Shangfu was lost.
