Chapter 61: Conversation and Battle

As soon as Chen Chunyi walked towards the Hushan Heights, a herald sent by the commander of the first battalion arrived, and reported to Chen Chunyi the process of the attack and Zhang Wei's problems.

200 Division Independent Company? This matter is not a trivial matter, Chen Chunyi did not dare to slack off, and asked the radio station to send a telegram to the division commander Chen Daqing, asking how to deal with this matter. He also had to go to see Zhang Wei in person, after all, it was the position that others helped to take.

At the top of Tiger Mountain, soldiers have cleaned up the bodies of both sides and are disposing of the seizures. Chen Chunyi met with Zhang Wei here, Zhang Wei saluted, Chen Chunyi signaled him not to be too restrained, first expressed his gratitude, and then the two talked for a while about going to stay.

"You belong to the 200th Division, I have no right to dispose of it, I have already asked Division Commander Chen."

Zhang Wei replied: "Thank you, sir, we are here to belong to the Tang Army, and we have to take over our 200 division's battle defense artillery units, all of which are national troops, regardless of each other." ”

Chen Chunyi smiled and didn't speak again, Zhang Wei looked at the loot, and suddenly remembered something, he was still short of grenadiers and ammunition.

"Sir, I have a small request, my people are equipped with grenadiers, and they will also play with this thing, see if you can take care of it, and give us the captured Japanese grenadiers and grenades."

Chen Chunyi readily agreed, the grenadier is not a standard equipment, and Zhang Wei helped them, this small request can still be met.

Received the captured grenadiers, no more, no less, each squad of the independent company can be equipped with one grenadier, the firepower is further enhanced, once the fight starts, one per squad, that is, twelve, as soon as the fire is fired, hehe.

After saying other things, Zhang Wei and Chen Chunyi's topic turned to the current situation, just laid down the top of Hushan Mountain, did not receive the next order from above, Chen Chunyi said that he should stick to it, this is a matter involving the internal affairs of other troops, Zhang Wei has no right to decide, but he vaguely expressed to Chen Chunyi that it is safe to stick to it.

Chen Chun withdrew the disabled first battalion to make up for it, and transferred the second battalion to hold the position, the second battalion had no casualties, the organization was complete, and it was inevitable to pull it up, and the third battalion and the troops directly under the regiment were arranged to defend on the flank of the Hushan Heights.

Zhang Wei's troops, Chen Chunyi did not dare to use them, so in the name of assisting in the protection of the regiment headquarters, Zhang Wei's troops were arranged near his regimental headquarters.

In the regiment headquarters, Chen Chunyi had just received a telegram from the division commander forwarded by his immediate boss Shi Jue, which explained the situation: The 200th Division's reinforced anti-aircraft artillery battalion would not be assigned to the Tang Corps, but would be split into companies and assigned to the troops in the direction of Taierzhuang and Linyi, and for Zhang Wei's independent company of the 200th Division, Chen Daqing also asked the army commander Wang Zhonglian, and this friendly army was temporarily assigned to Chen Chunyi's 23rd Regiment to fight.

Chen Chunyi knew it in his heart, and then there was only arming.

Up to now, that is, on 16 March, the 4th Division encountered the Japanese army in the area of Hushan and Dangshan, and although the Japanese offensive was temporarily blocked, the purpose of reinforcing Tengxian County was also blocked, and a reinforced Japanese wing was not at all something that a division could deal with, not to mention that the main force and directly subordinate troops of the 4th Division had just arrived and deployed.

The 63rd Wing of the Japanese Army confronted the 4th Division in the Dangshan Mountains of Hushan, and the Lincheng station is also busy now, the railway station is full of soldiers, these are all people from the 89th Division, the 89th Division is urgently transporting, and as of noon on the 16th, the 267th Brigade of the 89th Division arrived in Lincheng, that is, the supply object of Zhang Wei's train.

Tang Enbo ordered the 267th Brigade to quickly advance to the area of the Nansha River, and sure enough, the 267th Brigade encountered a part of the 63rd Wing in the area of the Nansha River and Guanqiao, suffered heavy losses, and retreated to the area of Guanqiao.

In fact, it was not the 63rd Wing that fought with the 89th Division, but the main force of the 63rd Wing! As early as noon, that is, after they had just captured Hushan with Zhang Wei, Wing Commander Furong Zhenping took away the main force of the wing, leaving only the second brigade and the 4th division to confront, the real main force was all encountered with the 89th division, and their goal was very clear, that is, - Lincheng!

Zhang Wei and the 23rd Regiment had just captured Hushan, which greatly increased the confidence of Chen Daqing, the commander of the 4th Division, and he decided to hit the main force of the division and recapture Dangshan and Luofeng Mountain.

The current situation is very unfavorable to the Chinese army, the 4th Division near Dangshan Hushan does not know that there is only one brigade on the opposite side, and the 89th Division near Guanqiao is under fierce attack, but it does not think that it is facing the real main force of the 63rd Wing.

The task of reinforcing Fuji County could not be carried out because it was blocked.

Both sides, stalemate, see-saw.

Returning to the main line, Zhang Wei and the 23rd Regiment stayed in the Hushan area for several hours, and there were no Japanese troops to attack at all. Even the soldiers on the position began to get impatient, and some of the bold ones even jumped out of the trenches and made various gestures, but on the other side, there was no response at all.

Chen Chunyi muttered in the regimental headquarters and sent a telegram to the division headquarters, reporting the current situation, there was no Japanese attack at all!

Zhang Wei also felt weird, according to the urine nature of the Japanese army, it should be launched immediately to counterattack, what is the situation today? Chen Chun thought about it for a while, and ordered the third battalion to send a company of troops, and simply searched forward to see what the Japanese had in mind when they fell to the ground.

The company that went there searched forward for a thousand meters, and the result was the end. The two devils didn't find it, so they were left with food scraps on the ground and things that couldn't be taken away. Seeing this scene, even a fool knows that the devil has run away.

The devil ran away! This news shocked Chen Chunyi and Zhang Wei who was sitting at the regiment headquarters, Chen Chunyi did not dare to slack off, and quickly reported the news to the division, Chen Daqing was also shocked after getting the news, but he was already mentally prepared, and ordered Chen Chunyi's 23rd regiment to shrink quickly and move closer to the area of Dangshan and Luofeng Mountain, Chen Daqing's purpose has not changed, that is, to recapture Dangshan and Luofeng Mountain.

When the soldiers of the 23rd Regiment heard the news of withdrawing from their positions and attacking in the direction of Dang Mountain, they were a hundred unwilling in their hearts, and they had been preparing for a long time, who wanted to toss it, but if there was an order, they should obey it, and the troops began to move closer to the area of Dang Mountain.

Near Dangshan, Longshan, and Luofengshan, the 4th Division had just repelled a small counterattack by the Japanese army, and the losses on both sides were not large, and the Japanese army left more than a dozen corpses in front of the position, which was the position of the 24th Regiment of the 10th Brigade, and the commander of the 10th Brigade, Ni Zuyao, first received an order to prepare for a counterattack on Dangshan and Longshan with friendly troops, and then came from above that the Japanese troops opposite Chen Chunyi of the 23rd Regiment had withdrawn, which showed that there would not be many Japanese troops on the opposite side.

The counterattack on Dang Mountain and Luofeng Mountain has become an inevitable trend, although there is no clear tactical value after the attack (at least it seems to be the case now), but if it is not defeated, how can we find out the situation? What's more, the main force of the division has been in place, and the news that the 23rd Regiment has recaptured Hushan has greatly boosted the morale of the officers and men.

Fight back, it's imperative!
