Chapter 430: Zhang Fei made trouble in Liujiahu
At this time, General Li Zongren of the Xuzhou General Headquarters stayed awake all night. He knew that on the 24th, the Japanese army would launch a general attack, so he and his subordinates analyzed the battle situation overnight.
"Report, Falcon Commando calling."
The correspondent handed over several telegrams to Li Zongren.
The officers on the side were puzzled, they had never heard of such a commando unit. At this time, Chen Haotian was on the side, and he had already obtained an official position as a staff officer in the headquarters through his connections.
"Okay!" Li Zongren was very excited after reading it, and said to everyone with a telegram: "Here is the detailed distribution of the Japanese army, and it also specifically mentions Liujiahu Village. In that area there was a heavy artillery position of the Japanese army, ten heavy guns. And this artillery position to the west is weak, and there is every chance of destroying it. ”
After hearing this, an officer questioned and said, "Ten heavy artillery pieces can cripple a regiment in two hours." It would be a great advantage to wipe out the battle in one fell swoop, but I would like to ask about the credibility of this information. The Japanese army had just arrived yesterday evening, so how could it be possible to get so much information in one night. ”
Shao Fei was recommended by Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi, and infiltrating behind enemy lines was also carefully arranged by himself, so he felt that he had lost face when he was questioned.
Xu Zuyi wanted to speak for Shao Fei, but he didn't expect Chen Haotian to open his mouth first: "This information is absolutely credible, Shao Fei, you can't use common sense to judge." Now we should not think about the credibility of the intelligence, but about implementing it as soon as possible, because it is less than two hours before the Japanese attack. ”
Chen Haotian's speech surprised Xu Zuyi, but it was also very gratifying that someone could stand on his side, and it was a well-known thing that he recommended Shao Fei. These people only know that there is such a person as Shao Fei, and they don't know his special combat team code name and past achievements.
Xu Zuyi wanted to give Chen Haotian another chance to perform, so he asked Chen Haotian: "Since you know Shao Fei so well, what do you think we should do next?"
Chen Haotian replied: "Send this information to General Sun Lianzhong immediately, and adjust the defensive deployment according to the distribution of the Japanese army's troops." Although the left flank of the artillery position of Liujiahu is weak, it cannot be underestimated in terms of the defensive capability of the position itself. My suggestion was to send a battalion of broadswords to infiltrate the vicinity of the Liujiahu artillery position from the west and use the broadsword to fight quickly. ”
After Chen Haotian finished speaking, he turned slightly to the others and said, "If you doubt the credibility of the intelligence, please go to the Intelligence Department to see Shao Fei's detailed achievements in the past, it will definitely surprise you." I, Chen Haotian, have never admired people, but after reading Shao Fei's records, I have to admire this person. His bold strategic vision is beyond its time. In the past, he relied entirely on ability to fight, and if a good army cooperated with him, his ability would be much more than that. ”
Chen Haotian's words resonated with Xu Zuyi, which was also the main reason why he sent his own people to infiltrate Shao Fei's team. Although it is incredible, there are too many mysteries in Shao Fei that cannot be explained.
Li Zongren immediately adopted Chen Haotian's method and sent a telegram to Sun Lianzhong, commander-in-chief of the Second Group Army, who was defending Taierzhuang, and asked him to destroy this artillery position as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Sun Lianzhong was overjoyed when he got this information, but he began to make difficulties in employing people.
One of the main reasons why the Japanese army was so rampant and had a powerful artillery was that Sun Lianzhong was determined to pull out this fang. It is not easy to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth, the commander who leads the team must have courage that is different from ordinary people, is there such a person in the group army?
Just when Sun Lianzhong was in trouble, a staff officer on the side recommended someone to Sun Lianzhong.
"Commander, Gao Hongli, commander of the third battalion of the 91st Brigade and the 183rd Regiment, can take on this mission."
"Gao Hongli, who is it?"
The staff officer introduced: "This person is full of guts, his nickname is Zhang Fei, and he has nothing to say when he plays with a big knife." There is a saying in their camp: When the devil approaches, the head falls to the ground. ”
"Okay, that's it!"
Sun Lianzhong slapped the table and immediately called the commander of the 91st Brigade, Qi Zibin, and ordered him to send the third battalion of the 183rd Regiment to infiltrate from the west, and be sure to get rid of this artillery position before noon.
After receiving the order, Gao Hongli, the commander of the third battalion, led the team to set off at 7 o'clock.
At 8 o'clock, more than 2,000 Japanese troops, with the cooperation of aircraft, artillery and tanks, began to attack Taierzhuang. The cannon roared, and a singing and crying battle of Taierzhuang officially began.
The officers and men of the Second Army fought back and fought a decisive battle to the death with the enemy. Due to the intensive artillery fire of the Japanese army, there were heavy casualties.
Gao Hongli led the soldiers of the third battalion to infiltrate and arrived near Liujiahu Village at 10 a.m. and found the target position.
Gao Hongli observes the enemy through a telescope. In the open space 200 meters ahead, ten cannons are lined up, and they are bombarding in the direction of Taierzhuang.
Since this area is all open terrain, if you attack now, you will become a ghost of a devil machine gun before you arrive. Fortunately, the 200-meter open space was covered with long hay.
Gao Hongli ordered the troops to disperse and crawl forward.
The artillery positions roared incessantly, and almost every soldier could feel the ground trembling. When the soldiers of the third battalion marched to a distance of fifty meters from the artillery position, they all stopped, waiting for Gao Hongli's final order.
With a loud "boom", the artillery positions again fired criminal shells. The artillerymen reflexively squatted and covered their ears hard. Gao Hongli seized the opportunity to charge.
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the third battalion suddenly rushed out of the grass, and one of them, with a large knife and eight grenades, rushed into the enemy artillery position.
Gao Hongli bore the brunt of the attack and was the first to rush into the position. The devil artillery was unarmed, and everyone was frightened, and the artillery was beheaded by Gao Hongli before he could react.
Gao Hongli shouted loudly: "Fight quickly, kill!"
The Japanese artillery guards quickly engaged in a fierce battle with the 3rd Battalion. Gao Hongli slashed left and right, and after cutting one after another, it was simply a living fierce Zhang Fei. The screams of the devils on the battlefield were endless, and all the flesh and blood fell to the ground in a blur.
Under the instigation of Gao Hongli, the soldiers of the third battalion all fought for their lives. The strength of the devil was originally greatly inferior to the third battalion, and now he encountered a fierce Zhang Fei with a group of "outlaws", which was really unable to parry, and abandoned the cannon and fled.
"**** little devil, it's too uncut!"
Gao Hongli forcefully plunged the big knife full of devil blood into the ground, and ordered: "Devil reinforcements will arrive soon." The first company cleaned up the battlefield, the second company moved all the shells near the artillery, and the third company prepared explosives and leads. ”
The soldiers of the three battalions performed their duties, and the task assigned by Gao Hongli was completed in just a few minutes.
One soldier joked: "Battalion commander, what a pity it is that such a good cannon has exploded, and it would be great if it could be transported back."
Gao Hongli smiled: "Are you resisting? Let's withdraw! ”
The soldiers of the third battalion quickly left the Japanese artillery position, lit the fuse at a distance of more than ten meters, and then ran back.
"Boom!" "Boom!" “……”
A loud bang sounded behind the soldiers of the third battalion, sparks flew and thick smoke rose everywhere, and the ten cannons instantly turned into piles of scrap metal. A newly built artillery position was just leveled.
Gao Hongli took his three battalions to victory, and the battlefield of Taierzhuang began to circulate: "The good story of Zhang Fei making trouble in Liujiahu" began.
