At about 6:40, the Wu family's high house, shortly after Bai Liusu and others returned, the Japanese forward troops arrived. The Wu family's high house was the last line of defense on the breach dam. General He Zhengjiang had only two Two battalions of the regiment are deployed here. One battalion is responsible for front-line defense and garrisoning the Wu family's high house. The other battalion shrinks in front of the bunker group on the breach dam to support the front-line troops.
The students stationed in the Wu family's high house had learned from various channels that the battle on the front line was very fierce. However, when they saw with their own eyes that only one regiment of the five regiments that went out returned, they were still shocked by the cruel fact.
As a battalion commander, Medlin had some knowledge of the battles on the front line, so he was not as shocked as the soldiers showed. According to the plan, the defense tasks in the bunker group area will be handed over to the 8th Xue Brigade. After Xu Feng comes back, this will The command of the Wu family's high house will be handed over to him. After Medlin and Xu Feng handed over the defense, they immediately followed He Zhengsheng's order and took Bai Liusu and her group of remaining soldiers to withdraw to the bunker group.
As soon as Bai Liusu and the others left, the Japanese flags appeared in the defenders' sight. First there were the Japanese flags tied to military thorns, and then there were the brigade battle flags, including the regiment battle flags. The students immediately Becoming nervous, Xu Feng sat down and took a sip of water, and then said to the brothers of the brigade who were hiding behind the fortifications: "Brothers, you have all seen that the brothers of the 7th Xue Brigade have worked hard to complete the combat mission of the general headquarters. At what cost, let me tell you, this time, the scale of the Japanese army's dispatch is two divisions, two divisions, about 50,000 people. Brothers, are you afraid?"
"Brigade, I'm not afraid." A student soldier replied loudly. Xu Feng looked over and recognized his name as Lin Shanshui. There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. Lin Shanshui was only fifteen years old and was still a child. According to the student army, According to the rules, such an older child cannot join the army. However, because his parents are both members of the Fox Tong team and both died in the execution of their missions, his mother's only request is that the Xue Bing Army can accept him. Her son, therefore, after Ouyang Yun's special approval, he was able to join the Xuebing Army and became a private in the Third Xuexi Division.
"Medellin, didn't I ask him to let you go to the division headquarters?"
"Prince Commander, don't blame Battalion Commander Mei. I asked you to stay here."
"Good boy, from now on, you will stay with me."
"Prince, I am not an orderly."
"It's not an orderly, it's a guard, responsible for protecting me. Why, you don't want to." Xu Feng smiled,
Lin Shanshui happily agreed,
Xu Feng continued the previous topic and said: "Lin Shanshui is only fifteen years old, and he is not afraid. I think no other brother is as good as him. The Wu family's high-rise defense line is the last barrier on the breach dam, so no matter how many little devils come, People, as long as one of us is alive, the little devil can't even think of entering."
"Prince, don't worry. Although we only have one battalion, if the Japs want to break through, there will be no regiment left to deal with." A veteran said, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Xu Feng smiled and suddenly shouted: "Brothers, prepare to fight."
"yes."
More and more khaki figures appeared near the Wu family's high house. Under the command of some officers, the Japanese army began to build offensive positions in groups. Mortars were set up one after another, and nine mortars were fired one after another. The Type II heavy machine gun was mounted on an empty ammunition box and opened a bloody mouth toward the Wu family's high house.
As they approached, the Japanese army was no longer in a hurry to attack. This made He Zhengjiang, who was standing on a hidden high ground using a telescope to observe the enemy's situation, a bad feeling in his heart. As the top commander of the North Bank garrison, He Zhengjiang wanted to attack the enemy most. What he saw was undoubtedly the Japanese army swarming up, trying to take advantage of their strength to forcefully attack the breach in the dam. If that was the case, he was confident that he would teach the little devil an unforgettable lesson. But now, the Japanese army instead attacked before attacking. He first set up a turtle formation, which made him worried.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaolian appeared below the high ground with a group of ragged people. He shouted loudly: "Lao He."
He Zhengheng lowered his binoculars and turned to look around. He swept his eyes across the crowd and frowned when he saw Bai Liusu. At that moment, he quickly sent Bai Liusu to the south bank. It was important. He really couldn't afford this ancestor. Get up, he thought, walking down,
At this moment, from the direction of the Wu family's high house, the sound of "empty" mortar fire continued, followed by the sharp sound of grenades breaking through the air, "Shhh," and then "boom, boom, boom" The sound of explosions is endless,
Bai Liusu and He Zhengsheng had quarreled on the phone more than once, so she didn't take it seriously at all. Moreover, at this moment, her mood was affected by the tragic casualties of her brothers, and she was full of sadness.
After the usual greetings, she said: "Master, the Seventh School Brigade suffered too many casualties in the early battles. Please punish them."
The preliminary numbers of enemy annihilations have not yet been calculated, but according to estimates by the staff of the Third Academy Division, on the two front-line battlefields of Zhoutou and Shengzhou, the Japanese army has lost at least six brigades so far, a ratio of 1:15 The battle damage rate, and considering that the Xuebing Army suffered heavy casualties in the early artillery attack, He Zhengsheng was quite satisfied with this value. However, when he thought of Bai Liusu disobeying his orders and leaving the relatively safe second line without authorization , the anger in his heart surged up uncontrollably,
Fortunately, nothing happened to Bai Liusu, but if something happened to her, he quickly shook his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Xue Qi Brigade has completed the strategic mission of the general headquarters, and people will die in the war. Brigadier Bai, please don't blame yourself. Well, Lao Zhang, considering that the organization of the 7th Xue Brigade has been disabled, let's arrange for them to cross the river."
"Okay, Brigadier Bai, please."
Bai Liusu has no objection to crossing the river. What He Zhengsheng said just now is actually what she really thinks at the moment. The 7th Xuexue Brigade has completed the mission assigned by the headquarters and has no strength to fight. It is time to retreat now. Going to Jiangnan, there are still some seeds left. She was about to agree, but Liu Zheliang stood up and said: "Master, the Japanese army is too strong. At this moment, every more person increases the chance of winning. I think the seriously injured should be killed immediately." Go to the south bank, but those of us with minor injuries must stay."
After saying this, he saw a trace of anger in He Zhengjiang's eyes and hurriedly added: "There are Japanese troops everywhere on Mianchuan Island. The seriously injured people must be escorted when they cross the river. I think our brigade can take on this important task." .”
He Zhengsheng nodded: "Then it's settled, Brigadier Bai, you will take the lead to escort the seriously injured across the river to the south bank later. Others, follow me and hold on. Brigadier Bai, please bring a message to the Commander-in-Chief, There is one person from our third grade school on Mianchuan Island, so the little devil can’t even think of setting foot in the fortress.”
