Chapter 623: A Slap to the Head
"Boom, boom!" “……”
Cannon roared. The enemy's Xiangshan artillery and Jiangmen navy both increased their firepower and bombarded our Changshan infantry and artillery positions.
Our fortifications were destroyed in many places, two guns were damaged, and there were heavy casualties. The two heavy machine-gun bunkers controlling the entrance of the Taibai Lake road were also destroyed, and the fire of our infantry and light weapons could not control the surprise attack of a large number of enemy troops on the river.
"The main direction of attack of the Botian detachment must be in the Shiji area, and I will lead people to block it now."
After Dulongji stormed the headquarters, he asked for a counterattack on the lost positions of the 7th Squadron.
Bao Changyi asked: "The poisonous gas has not dispersed, do you have a way?"
"Nope." Du Longji responded simply, and then Bao Changyi said: "Now the enemy's follow-up troops are coming, once we land, it will be difficult for us to stop!"
Bao Changyi and the chief of staff were helpless, they couldn't let the two hundred soldiers left in the second brigade go to death in vain.
Shao Fei on the side suddenly said, "I have a way."
Bao Changyi hurriedly asked, "Say it quickly!"
Shao Fei said: "First, order the artillery to block the Japanese army on the river to buy us time; Two, I need all the submachine guns. The plan was to send 200 men to bypass the previous position of the 7th Squadron, secretly swim over Taibai Lake, and use the reeds to block the Japanese troops on the river. Wait for the poison gas to dissipate, shell the enemy position, and then launch an east-west encirclement of the position. ”
After listening to this, the chief of staff said: "The plan is good, but have you ever thought that we have not yet closed the siege, and you have already been surrounded by devils on the river and in the position."
Shao Fei said: "We have two advantages, first, the position is poisonous, the devil is carrying anti-chemical equipment, and the line of sight can be imagined; Second, the landing of devils on the river is not stable; Third, the reed swing is a good concealed umbrella. There's not much time, Mr. Bao, you decide. ”
Bao Changyi immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, just implement this plan." If the devil charges, you can retreat south, the southwest of Taibai Lake is a forest, don't force it. ”
"I know, but it's possible that the Hatada detachment will attack from elsewhere, so keep an eye on it. Also, be ready to blow up important fortifications at any time, and you can't leave it to the devils. ”
"I know, take care!"
Shao Fei and Du Longji both saluted Bao Changyi and the chief of staff.
"Let's go!"
The two left, and Dulongji took the last of the 2nd Brigade, together with the Falcon, to the most dangerous place in Madang Fortress, the reeds by the river.
The chief of staff didn't understand why Bao Changyi would agree to this plan, the reeds couldn't accommodate so many people. And Bao Chang felt in his heart that there was a plan better than no plan, and he couldn't sit still, so he told Shao Feishulin about it. Also, he has confidence in Shao Fei's temporary adaptability.
The artillery of the 2nd Corps held back the Japanese troops on the river with the most intensive artillery fire and prevented them from landing on the shore.
Shao Fei led the troops to the lake and ordered: "Go into the water and swim as much as you can!"
These people are all marines, and they have excellent water quality, not to mention special combat teams, they have undergone rigorous water training.
More than 200 people dived into the lake, and in a short time all disappeared into the lake.
The lake was silent, with the occasional person sticking their head out for breath.
After ten minutes of armed swimming, the team came to the opposite bank. To the northeast is the position of the former 7th Squadron, visible to the naked eye; Directly west is a field of reeds, but the area is not large, rectangular, leaning against the shore. That width, a flank attack can only accommodate a dozen people.
Shao Fei ordered: "Check the equipment and crawl forward!"
If you want to raid, you must not let the devils find out. The soldiers checked their equipment, shook off the water from their magazines, and then crawled away to the reeds.
The lake is only 200 meters away from the reeds, and there are weeds and some small trees scattered in the middle.
Coming to Luweidang, the situation was not as optimistic as Shao Fei imagined. The reeds are long and narrow, leaning on the riverside. Troops can only be concealed horizontally.
"In five minutes, the devil landing force will come ashore!" The pillar observes the surface of the river with a distant mirror and reports to Shao Fei.
The two hundred men were not able to attack at all, barely enough to hide.
"Abandon the original plan."
Shao Fei's words shocked everyone, he worked hard to come here, but the plan was abandoned.
At this time, Dulongji was more worried about the position. Once the devil gains a firm foothold, he will definitely drive straight in, and the position will fall in two hours.
"What do you say? What to do with that position! ”
Du Longji was very excited and grabbed Shao Fei's collar hard.
Xiaodao immediately shouted: "Let go, be careful that I am not polite to you!"
"Three minutes!"
The pillar has been observing, reporting the time.
Shao Fei waved his hand to shut up the knife, and then said to Du Longji: "The place is too narrow for us to fight." If the devils who landed on the shore and the devils in the positions formed a staggered fire and launched an artillery bombardment, we would definitely die. ”
The pillar said: "One minute!"
Now that his eyebrows were burning and there was no time to quarrel, Du Longji let go of Shao Fei and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too excited." I think you should have some way, you're falcons. ”
Shao Fei only replied with four words: "Act when the opportunity arises."
At this time, the devils had landed one after another, but the poisonous gas on the front position had not dissipated. So, the devils waited on the shore, and the number of them grew.
The positions in front are all their own people, so the defense of the devils who landed on the shore is very lax. And they were no more than fifty meters from the reeds to the southeast.
When all the devil's vanguard troops landed, Shao Fei still made a move.
Two hundred people suddenly rushed out of the reeds and threw grenades together.
Before the grenade exploded.
"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"
More than sixty submachine guns fired wildly at the shore, while fighters without submachine guns continued to throw grenades in the back.
"Boom Boom" "......"
Hundreds of grenades continued to explode on the shore, and sand and gravel flew sideways. In an instant, the hundreds of devils who landed on the shore were attacked simultaneously by a rain of grenades and bullets, killing and wounding countless people.
The soldier ran out of a shuttle of bullets as fast as he could, and Shao Fei shouted, "Withdraw!"
In this round of battle, Shao Fei only took 30 seconds. The devils on the position could not react, and more than 200 people in the navy had all withdrawn to the reeds. And the devils at the head of the stall suffered hundreds of casualties in an instant.
"Run, keep running!"
Although the reeds were not wide, they were long enough, and Shao Fei's troops kept running and withdrew more than three hundred meters away.
"Boom Boom" "......"
The Japanese troops at the head of the stall and the Japanese troops in the position launched a carpet bombardment of the reeds at the front. Two gunshots rang out in all directions, and a dense attack on the reeds was launched.
The knife wiped his sweat and rejoiced: "Good boy, it's good that my brother runs fast, otherwise he will be beaten into a hornet's nest."
The reeds nearly two hundred meters in front were all blown up, and it was no longer possible to hide people.
Shao Fei didn't expect the situation of the reed swing, because of the urgency of time, he didn't have time to reconnoitre, and even asked.
Hearing the reeds, the first thing that came to Shao Fei's mind was Shajiabang, if there were reeds of Shajiabang's size, Shao Fei would not be afraid of many devils.
Dulongji asked, "What do we do now?"
"Wait until it happens. As long as we are here, the devils will take care of it and can contain a lot of the opponent's troops. ”
After Shao Fei finished speaking, he ordered the signal corps to telegraph to the command that the plan was temporarily canceled, and it was recommended to strengthen the second line of defense in the west and pay attention to the movements of the Japanese troops on the eastern front.
Although this battle was a blow to the Japanese army, this unit had been exposed, and the devils began to take precautions.
When the follow-up troops arrive, they will inevitably attack here. And this place has no strategic significance except for the elimination of devils, because it has been disconnected from the entire position.
Before the devil arrives, Shao Fei must come up with the next battle plan. The purpose is to delay as much time as possible, hoping that a miracle will occur and reinforcements will arrive in time.
