Chapter 663: For the New Thirty-Third Army
Yangquan was bad, Luoyang was just as bad, it rained in Henan all day, the roads were soft, and the soldiers of the Soviet Mechanics Division abandoned their tanks and armored vehicles and began to rush to the battlefield on foot.
The strength of a regiment of the vanguard troops, marching rapidly in the heavy rain, arrived at the battlefield first, and this regiment of 2,700 men and horses, in fact, only one battalion arrived on the battlefield, not that the other troops were afraid of battle, but this ghost weather, the opportunity to squeeze the last physical strength of the soldiers.
The soldiers marched in the rain, and their physical strength and spirit were severely tested, especially those who carried heavy weapons on their shoulders, and one of them accidentally lay down in the muddy water, but they still struggled to get up and join the marching team, although they marched slowly, but they kept rushing to the front.
A battalion of soldiers of the national army fought in the rain with the Japanese army surrounding Luoyang, and in the face of several times or even more than ten times the Japanese army, the soldiers were not afraid of death, they were the warriors of this country and the nation, and they wanted to tear apart the Japanese army in front of them with the guns in their hands.
However, the national army that arrived at the battlefield was too weak, although the individual firepower in their hands was already very strong, but they only had one battalion, and the number of Japanese blocking troops far exceeded them, even if they sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, but it was difficult to break through the Japanese position.
The rain finally became lighter, and in the evening the sky showed a bright crescent, and the air was cold, and the rain soaked everyone's clothes, and the breeze blew and took away the heat from the warriors' bodies.
A regiment of the vanguard finally arrived at the front line, although it still did not play a decisive role, but it seemed to have some confidence, and the troops also had the appearance of troops, not like the newly recruited Hanako, so they rushed to the battlefield with hula.
"Report to the regiment commander, report to the third company of the second battalion and one squad!"
The soldiers arrived at the battlefield one after another, and they did not arrive in a whole army, but whoever went faster and who went first, often a squad of soldiers or three or two fighters came together, and their platoon, their company, had already been left behind by them.
Although the warriors arrived at the battlefield, everyone was panting, and along the way, they did not eat, did not rest, and exhausted their physical strength.
The commander of the vanguard team did not give them time to rest, not because the regiment commander did not care for his soldiers, but because they rested for one more minute, Luoyang City might fall into the hands of the Japanese army.
"The position of your company is arranged on the right flank, which is here!"
The regiment commander pointed to the map, whether this company arrived at the battlefield with a person or a squad, they represented them as a company, and then they were combined to represent them as a regiment.
The soldiers did not complain about their regimental commander, since they insisted on coming here, they did not come to complain, but to fight hard.
The ragged, physically exhausted soldiers took the task of their company and went to their posts, knowing that even they alone would hold their posts on behalf of their company.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the cold began to invade the bodies of the soldiers, who marched all the way, and all the clothes that had nothing to do with the battle had already been thrown on the road by them, and they could not live at night, so the soldiers could only huddle together to keep each other warm.
Under such conditions, no soldier flinched, they were soldiers, and China needed them at this time, and they had to stand up and bear the suffering that this nation should have.
"Commander, when are we going to launch a general attack?" A company commander asked.
"The Seventh Company has launched an attack on the Japanese army, you guys connect to replace the Seventh Company, and let the soldiers of the Seventh Company tear it off and rest for a while!"
The regiment commander did not let the troops launch a general attack, they were still testing the weak points of the Japanese defense line, and their attack must be aimed at the weak points of the Japanese army in order to play a role, otherwise the soldiers died in vain and could not save Luoyang.
"Da Da Da"
The soldiers lay on the muddy ground and fired at the Japanese soldiers, and although they were testing the Japanese firepower, they did seem to be launching the main attack. Such weather had an impact not only on the soldiers of the national army, but also on the Japanese army.
The Japanese army dug trenches and waited for work, ready to give the national army reinforcements a head-on attack, but this rain made the little devil miserable. There is standing water everywhere in the trenches, and the little devils are also moving deep and shallow in the trenches, and the efficiency is very low.
At this time, everyone is looking forward to the early arrival of the day, and in this cold and dead world, only the sun can bring them warmth and vitality.
The battle lasted all night, and the soldiers of the cooking squad finally boiled a thick pot of hot soup for the soldiers on the front line at dawn. Three or five fighters gathered together to enjoy this happy time at the front line.
"Drink slowly, drink slowly, but there's more!"
A bowl of hot soup drove away the cold of yesterday and the fatigue of the past few days for the soldiers, who had eaten hot rice and drank hot soup for the first time in several days.
"Don't drink it patronizing, you kid, send a bowl to the head of the regiment!" The squad leader of the cooking squad kicked the soldier next to him with his foot, "Don't worry, I'll keep your share." ”
The soldier who was kicked grinned, and then took half a pot of hot soup and went to the headquarters with a fart.
At this time, the regiment commander was looking at the map in the command headquarters, and at the same time asked the staff officers around him: "It's been night, how many of our troops have not arrived?" ”
"At least one battalion of soldiers, heavily armed up to a third!" The staff officer replied.
Heavy weapons consume the strength of the warriors the most during the rapid march, and those who can reach the battlefield are carried up by the warriors with the last trace of strength.
"Regiment Commander, Chief of Staff, I've brought you soup!" The soldier walked into the headquarters with half a pot of hot soup.
When the regiment commander saw the hot soup in the pot, a smile appeared on his face: "Do you have all the brothers on the battlefield?" ”
"It's all there, this is what our squad leader specially left for the regiment headquarters, regiment commander, chief of staff, you drink while it's hot, it was too cold in a rain last night!"
"Okay, there are so many, those who are standing guard outside, you guys also come to drink a bowl and then go to stand guard!"
The regimental commander beckoned the brothers of the regimental headquarters to come and drink hot soup, and the soldiers were very happy that there would be such a bowl of hot soup. Because at this time, the clothes on the soldiers' bodies can still wring out water, and if the heat is not replenished in time, these soldiers will fall ill without fighting.
A pot of hot soup restores the combat effectiveness of a regiment of soldiers, and the soldiers on the front line never expect good food, and a bowl of hot soup is enough for them to desperately kill the little devils.
……
In the Taihang Mountain Resident Hospital, Fu Hongyu's eyes were red like a rabbit, although she didn't wash her face with tears all day long, but her lover was lying on the bed, except for breathing and heartbeat, there was no other sign of life, and there would be no smile on anyone's head.
Fu Hongyu took care of Liao Fan day and night, and whenever she had free time, she sat next to Liao Fan and talked to Liao Fan, she didn't know if Liao Fan could hear her words, but she knew that she would only tell Liao Fan about these things.
The other hospital bed next to Liao Fan was much more deserted, Lu Liming was arranged to be in the same ward as Liao Fan, although Fu Hongyu checked Lu Liming's condition regularly every day, but Lu Liming had no relatives.
"Dangdang Dang"
There was a knock on the door, and Li Lingfei walked in and greeted Fu Hongyu.
"Is there anything wrong with Chief of Staff Lee?" Fu Hongyu stood up and straightened her messy hair.
"It's nothing important, I just have time today, I'll come over to see Brother Fan and Lao Lu!" Li Lingfei said softly.
"I'll get you a glass of water!"
"No need, Doctor Fu, just sit down, I have something to tell you! Brother Liao has sent a telegram, maybe he will be back in the next few days! ”
Liao Jundong specially rushed back, he must have come to see Liao Fan, his own brother was unconscious, and he must be sad to be an older brother.
"Oh, thank you for telling me!"
"Actually...... In fact...... I mean something else! Li Lingfei stammered.
Of course, Fu Hongyu didn't hear that there was any other meaning in Li Lingfei's words: "Chief of Staff Li can just say it directly!" ”
"Brother Fan's situation, although I don't know, if Brother Fan really can't hold on, I still hope that the New 33rd Army can continue to go on, since it wants to go down, there must be hope to go on, this hope can only come to Brother Liao, so I don't want to be unable to hold on because of Brother Liao because of Brother Fan's affairs!"
The brotherhood is deep, in case Liao Fan really doesn't wake up, maybe Liao Jundong will be hit and the whole person will become decadent, and when the second pillar of the new 33rd Army will collapse, then the new 33rd Army will be completely finished.
Although Li Lingfei was not very important in the New 33rd Army, he did not want the New 33rd Army to collapse like this, because they had just seen the hope of driving the Japanese army out of China.
Fu Hongyu finally understood what Li Lingfei meant at this time.
"But...... But what should I tell Brother Liao? ”
Fu Hongyu also knew in her heart that Li Lingfei was for the good of the New 33rd Army and the entire Taihang Mountain, and he also knew the current status of the New 33rd Army in the National War of Resistance, and she didn't want to watch the Japanese army surround Taihang Mountain and then slaughter the people of Taihang Mountain.
"Tell Brother Liao that Brother Fan is already fine, and he will be able to wake up in ten or eight days!"
"This ......" Fu Hongyu was not sure that Liao Fan would definitely be able to wake up, "Let's hide it from Brother Liao like this, okay?" ”
"I can't care about it so much, I will try my best to arrange everything during this time, and I also believe that Brother Fan will be able to wake up!"
Li Lingfei, as the chief of staff of the New 33rd Army, is not only responsible for Liao Fan, he is also responsible for the future of the entire New 33rd Army.
Fu Hongyu lost her mind, on one side was the person she loved, and on the other hand, she was her future eldest brother, and she was caught in the middle......
