Chapter 172: Encountering the Wandering Soldiers
On this day, Huang Changsheng was rushing back with his troops, passing by this town, the two teams of men and horses confronted each other, and the people in the town fled from the town with their families when they saw the tension between the two sides, and the town became quiet for a while. E ん.
"Which part are you from? Why stand in our way. ”
"What part are you from, and why are you surrounding us?"
The origins of the two armies are a bit unsightly, the puppet army can't say that they are puppet troops, and the stray soldiers can't say that they are prisoners. Although the puppet army led by Huang Changsheng has the advantage of numbers and terrain, the weapons in the hands of this group of rogue soldiers are absolutely first-class, and even the little devils may not be able to catch up, almost every ten people have a light machine gun, every thirty people have a heavy machine gun, and there are various types of mortars and grenadiers, regardless of whether these people will use these guys or not, but this equipment is also very deterrent.
"We belong to the 33rd Independent Division of the National Revolutionary Army." A soldier of the special combat team reported his number.
"Fuck your mother's fart, the Central Army has already been beaten by the little devils and fled without a shadow."
"We are a newly formed unit, and we just got a number this month, which unit are you from?" The soldier of the special operations team asked.
"We ......" The person on the other side was speechless for a while, because they had only been rescued by an inexplicable force in the past few days, and they had nowhere to go, and they thought that they would be exterminated by the little devil soon, so they found a random place to replenish the supplies, and decided to fight with the little devil, but after waiting for so long, they didn't even see a hair.
"Sir, that man seems to be the one who rescued us." At this time, a soldier recognized the fighters of the special operations team.
"Did you hijack a train and rescue a group of prisoners the other day?" The man who was called the chief shouted at the person opposite.
Huang Changsheng has been listening to the people on both sides shouting, and when he heard that the people on the opposite side were a group of rescued prisoners, he remembered that he let go of a group of squadrons that were captured by the Japanese army a few days ago, and now it seems that the army on the opposite side was let go by himself, but why did they appear here.
Huang Changsheng took two people into the town, this group of troops is really a rogue soldier, there is no discipline at all, some are sitting, some are standing, and there are even those lying in the sun. None of the towns had decent fortifications or sentinels.
"Who is the supreme commander here?" Huang Changsheng asked.
"We're the highest commanders here." The three majors and the five captains all stood up, it turned out that a few people did not obey anyone's leadership and management, and simply led the soldiers of their original unit to form a gang, although it was an army, it was simply a plate of scattered sand, if there was a war, who knew what would happen.
Huang Changsheng looked at them and thought to himself, although they had such good equipment, fortunately they didn't encounter the little devil, a squadron of the little devil could completely beat this force composed of sand. However, Huang Changsheng had other ideas in his heart, he used to be a burden with them, but now he urgently needed manpower, even if it was an unpopular army, it depended on who their commander was.
Huang Changsheng still saluted a few of them first and introduced himself: "Huang Changsheng, the colonel of the 33rd Independent Division of the newly formed National Revolutionary Army. ”
Several officers watched Huang Changsheng salute himself, and hurriedly fastened the buttons of his clothes, and saluted Huang Changsheng in return, one of the majors said: "We originally belonged to the Jin Sui Army, as for the number of the troops, ......" The major looked around the troops, and he really couldn't speak, at first he wanted to count them, but now these prisoners of war come from more than a dozen troops, and he has never heard of the numbers of some troops.
"Why are you here?" Huang Changsheng was anxious to incorporate these people, and he didn't care if they had a number, of course it was better if they didn't have a number.
"Sir, since you rescued us, we brothers have nowhere to go, and we wanted to take our troops to the original commander again, but there are enemy war zones everywhere along the way, and we have no supplies, so we have to live here."
"Will you follow me?" Huang Changsheng looked at several officers and said.
"Sir, of course we are willing, it was you who rescued us from the hands of the little devils, of course we are willing to follow you." A major replied.
Among the few people, there are also people who are not willing to follow Huang Changsheng like this major, they are more worried about their own future, there is no problem in following you, and it is also a better thing to let us be promoted by the way.
Huang Changsheng saw the thoughts of several people: "I can promise you that if you are willing to stay, I will report to our division commander and everyone will be promoted to your rank, but I have one condition, that is, from now on, you must obey my orders." ”
Several people heard Huang Changsheng's promise to give them promotion, and hurriedly promised to be willing to follow him, they originally joined the army to get promoted, but now their situation is very embarrassing, they are not willing to be a puppet army, and they are afraid of being eliminated by the little devils, now someone takes them in, they don't have to worry about the future supply, and they are willing to add officials to them, such a good thing fell from the sky, of course, no one is willing to let go.
In this way, this group of rogue soldiers was absorbed by Huang Changsheng, originally there was only one brigade of the puppet army, and now these rogue soldiers have been recruited, plus the weapons and equipment captured and extorted from the little devil, Huang Changsheng feels that what he is leading now is a division of tigers and wolves, but Huang Changsheng does not have time to build this army into a division of tigers and wolves.
They must hurry back to Taihang Mountain, otherwise Liao Fan and them will definitely be in danger.
The little devils on Taihang Mountain are still urging their logistics supplies, and the excess materials from several nearby counties have been transported into Taihang Mountain, just to eliminate Liao Fan. However, in the past half a month or so, their logistical transportation lines have been constantly attacked by various anti-Japanese forces, not only the arms and materials hoarded in Yangquan have been bombed, but even many military trains from Taiyuan have not been saved, and the Japanese troops on the Taihang Mountain have not launched a decent attack today.
However, the little devil commander did not know that the trouble he encountered was not only the stubborn resistance of the squadron and the lack of logistical supplies. The fact that he did not take the position of the squadron for such a long time made the commander of the little devil very annoyed, and he seemed to have regarded the Chinese on the opposite position as the biggest enemy in his life, and in the eyes of his staff officers, he had gone crazy, regardless of the cold ammunition reserves in his hands, he attacked again and again, but the position on the opposite side was still immovable.
This time the little devil really became called Huazi, the ammunition in the hands of the little devil was not even as good as the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and the shells had been exhausted, but the commander of the little devil still stubbornly wanted to use their bushido spirit to capture Liao Fan's position, but he never understood that there was a spirit that was more bushido than their bushido, that is, the spirit of the Han nation, the soul that had stood on this land for thousands of years.
Liao Fan has withdrawn Ma Wanzhong's regiment from the first line of heaven, because the little devils in Hebei have approached Liao Fan's station, and if they continue to defend it, Ma Wanzhong's regiment is likely to be surrounded in the first line of heaven, and then the whole army will be exhausted, and Liao Fan's back is also in urgent need of defense, and the little devils of a brigade from the Hebei direction are no better than the Japanese troops in front of them, not to mention that there is enough ammunition, and the morale is high when they attack all the way.
"Brother Fan, what should we do next?" In the headquarters, Ma Wanzhong and Li Weimin watched Liao Fan wait for him to arrange his next move, and they knew that this was the last moment.
"Lao Ma, I handed over hundreds of brothers from the logistics department to you, as well as the withdrawn snipers, your regiment transferred twenty, and the rest were arranged to the defense line of the second and third regiments, and there are less than forty snipers left in Zhang Cuihua's training. In any case, we can't let a brigade of little devils from Hebei rush into our defense line. Liao Fan thought for a while, it seemed impossible not to let them rush into the defensive line, "Two days, you hold on for two days, and I will send you reinforcements after two days." ”
Ma Wanzhong did not ask Liao Fan where the reinforcements came from, and replied sonorously: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”
"Brother Fan, we really have reinforcements." Li Weimin asked the question he wanted to ask the most, according to the original plan, they could hold for a month, and this month was enough time to drag the little devil down, even if he didn't drag down the little devil, the commander of the little devil would not put a lot of supplies and time in Taihang Mountain, but the reality was that their position was on the verge of collapse in less than twenty days.
"Yes, don't forget that we still have soldiers from the special operations team." Liao Fan didn't tell them the news that the special combat team sent back, because Liao Fan knew that no matter how strong the special combat team was, it would not be able to face the tens of thousands of little devils alone, and he believed that Huang Changsheng would definitely lead his troops back when he was in the most danger, but what was the use of this.
"Report, Brother Fan, we'll come back." These are the two soldiers sent out by Liao Fan to follow Ruan Erdan yesterday, and they didn't rush back until this afternoon.
"What's the matter?" Liao Fan asked.
"That traitor did enter the camp of the puppet army, Brother Fan, the two of us sneaked into the camp of the puppet army and checked it, if we can organize the troops to break out of the defense area of the puppet army, we have a very good grasp." A fighter reports.
"It's impossible for us to break through, you two go back and rest first." Liao Fan beat two fighters and went back to rest.
Although they didn't know why Liao Fan didn't break through, Ma Wanzhong and Li Weimin knew that they could go, but the wounded and ordinary people in the camp couldn't go at all.
"Go back and prepare well, tell the brothers, let them prepare the suicide note, if the defense line is breached, I will arrange for someone to send the suicide note." At the beginning of the war, Liao Fan was already prepared for defeat.
Li Weimin hadn't walked out of the headquarters yet, when he suddenly remembered something again, turned his head to Liao Fan and said, "Brother Fan, go to the hospital and say a few words to Miss Hongyu." ”
