Chapter 117: Fighting (7)
In front of the frontal position, the offensive of the 42nd Wing could no longer continue, and the attacking force of less than 1,000 men attacked without artillery cover, and was hit by the strong fire of the defenders, and finally had to retreat without support.
On the way back, they saw several corpses of soldiers who had been killed during the assault, and the soldier who had been shouting just now was lying on the ground, looking at the sky with empty eyes, and the blood on his body had dried up.
Clotted blood on the ground.
"Carry them away." Zhang Wei couldn't save them, so he could only give them a relatively decent burial. Back in the position, the second and third platoons saw Zhang Wei and they brought back a devil, and they all wanted to come over to take a look, this live devil was the first time to be so close to them.
"This devil soldier, what should I do?" He Kun asked, Hao Zhong on the other side was straightforward, and even said that he was going to kill him, but was stopped by Zhang Wei. "Now that the Japanese are almost retreating, take care of this Japanese soldier, turn around and bring it to the 23rd regiment, hand it over to them, and watch it!"
Zhang Wei didn't want to give up the credit he had received. On the entire battlefield, the 23rd Regiment, the 89th Division and the 665th Regiment of the Northeast Army all repelled the Japanese troops attacking head-on, and the attacking 42nd Wing was launched in a hurry due to the lack of supplies and artillery shells, and the attack was hasty, so it could only retreat, and the commander of the 89th Division, Zhang Xuezhong, invested another regiment of troops to join the counterattack.
The 42nd Wing and the detachment leader Shun Sakamoto contacted many times, the counteroffensive was meaningless, and they could only retreat, the two sides stopped large-scale fighting, and the 42nd Wing and the Chinese army on the opposite side were in a stalemate, and according to Shun Sakamoto's order, on the 6th, that is, tomorrow, the 42nd Wing was going to retreat.
The battlefield was once again silent, with only sporadic gunfire and corpses in front of the positions proving that the bloody battle had just taken place.
"Company commander, someone's coming." Zhang Wei was in the position, and when he heard that someone was coming, he looked up and saw that he was the lieutenant colonel of the 665th Regiment and the supreme commander of the Northeast Army in this position.
"Hello sir!" Tuan Fu waved his hand, looking very sleek, and when he smiled, his face was full of wrinkles, probably he had been in the officialdom for many years.
"You guys fought very well, and you went out to counterattack, this 37 flat-fire artillery squad is still good, right?" After the group finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Wei very interestingly, Zhang Wei understood that he wanted to share a share of the credit, Zhang Wei did not resist, after all, this is also a "rule." ”
"Of course, just now in the battle, with my company as the mainstay, with the assistance of the artillery squad of the friendly army in the northeast, the two armies worked together to counterattack, if there was no friendly artillery, our company would not have the possibility of success, these brothers in the artillery squad are really heroes, and I hope the commander will greatly reward them."
"Well, these are all my own brothers, Company Commander Zhang can rest assured, I will also transfer the battle situation and results to your boss." This regiment understands that Zhang Wei counted the credit of the artillery squad, and when he reported the merits, it could be said that it was the 665th regiment, anyway, this artillery squad was also from the 665th regiment. The regiment still thinks that Zhang Wei is a member of the 23rd Regiment of the 4th Division, so he wants to give the battle situation and results to the 23rd Regiment, which is also to protect each other's interests.
Sending off the regimental attachment with a spring breeze, Zhang Wei observed the front line with a telescope, there was nothing unusual in front of the position, the independent company should retreat now, they were here for emergency support, not always stationed, the 665 regiment transferred a complete infantry company from the rear to prepare for the defense.
Now we are waiting for the independent Lianteng place. "The first platoon retreated with the prisoners first, the second platoon retreated later, and the third platoon left behind to cover and monitor."
Zhang Wei did not dare to slack off, even if he couldn't see the Japanese army, he had to be extremely careful and retreat under alternate cover.
"Let's go, let's go." As a company of the Northeast Army gradually entered the position, Zhang Wei withdrew with the three platoons behind the palace, the Northeast Army fought for so many days, the fortifications were quite complete, the back of the trench was connected to the traffic trench, and the independent company walked along the traffic trench for four or five hundred meters, out of the dangerous distance, and then climbed out of the trench and marched to the back mountain.
The two battalions of the 23rd Regiment were all filled into the positions, and the troops of the 23rd Regiment left in the back hills, except for the regimental headquarters, there was only one battalion left.
Zhang Wei asked Qiu Wei to pull the troops back to hide and rest, and took a squad to escort the prisoners of war to the headquarters of the 23rd Regiment.
Walking to the regiment headquarters, the 23rd regiment headquarters was still on fire outside, it seemed that it was blown up during the bombing, and when I walked to the regiment headquarters, the major regiment and the lieutenant colonel were not there, there were only a few guards inside, Chen Chunyi sat in it and closed his eyes to recuperate, looking very leisurely.
It is understandable that they are here to reinforce, how to fight this battle, and the battlefield situation, it is not up to him to decide, he can naturally be lazy.
"Report!"
"You fought well, you fought back, and you also knocked out half of the squadron." Chen Chunyi opened his eyes and said, it seems that the efficiency of the Northeast Army is still quite fast, and he quickly gave the battle report to Chen Chunyi.
"Thank you, sir, for the compliment. We also took a prisoner! ”
"What? Prisoners, where? Chen Chun's complexion changed suddenly.
"Outside, it was a non-commissioned officer who was knocked unconscious by the bombing when we hit it, collapsed in the trench, and was captured."
After speaking, Zhang Wei took Chen Chunyi to the outside of the regiment headquarters, the prisoner was placed on the ground, around, a squad of soldiers was watching him, and there were many people from the regimental headquarters nearby who were curious, and they all leaned over here and talked in a low voice.
"Little devil, hey, it's still alive, I don't know which unit caught it, but it's happening."
"It's better to kill this shit and avenge the dead brother." Chen Chunyi tried it in the past, and sure enough, he was still angry, these days, it is more difficult to capture a living devil than to kill a devil, let alone a corporal! "Beautiful, wait for me to turn around, I'll give you credit." Chen Chunyi said, his face was full of energy.
"Commander Chen, thank you, this merit is mine, and it belongs to all the brothers, and it was captured by the 23rd Regiment with me!" Zhang Wei said very "sensibly". Chen Chunyi waved his hand.
"I know what you mean, this captive, it was captured by you, before the fight against Yixian and Zaozhuang, the credit of our regiment is enough, what do you want to give a captive, I will report it to you when I go back."
Zhang Wei didn't expect that Chen Chunyi was quite righteous, and he was quite moved in his heart. And he shared the credit with him before, as far as I look at now, Chen Chunyi is really a good chief, at least, he has a bottom line, understands the limit, and a person with a bottom line can't be bad there.
"Yes! Thank you, sir! ”
