Chapter 262: The situation is critical
β
The three companies led by Wang Xiaoliang were attacked by the enemy before and after, and the troops were suppressed by firepower and could only return fire, and they could not raise their heads to carry out a strong attack at all.
Zheng Tie climbed up to Wang Xiaoliang and asked, "Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, we can't attack the devil's turret at all now suppressed by the enemy's firepower, do you quickly come up with a way, do you continue to attack or withdraw from the battle?" β
Wang Xiaoliang decisively ordered: "Order all platoons to cross cover, quickly withdraw from the battle, and break through to the western heights of the left Zhuang Village." β
He led two platoons under the cover of Zheng Tie's firepower, broke through the fire resistance of the devil's reinforcements, rushed out from the flank, attracted enemy reinforcements with firepower, and covered the platoon led by Zheng Tie to withdraw from the position and quickly retreat to the high ground.
The leader of the devil squad in the turret, when he saw that the Tubalu attacking the turret had retreated in a hurry, immediately ordered the little devils of the two squads to rush out of the turret and cooperate with the reinforcements to pursue the fleeing Tubalu Army.
Wang Xiaoliang led the third company to quickly occupy the high ground under the pursuit of the enemy, immediately lay down, and shot to block the little devils who caught up.
Wang Xiaoliang knew in his heart that once surrounded, it would be difficult for the three companies to break through the firepower encirclement of the devils, if the position was abandoned and quickly transferred, the nearby area of more than ten miles was plain, and it was impossible to get rid of the pursuit of the enemy puppet army, once the troops were surrounded by the enemy puppet army again on the plain and lost the barrier, the three companies led by him could not break through the fire blockade of the enemy puppet army.
Wang Xiaoliang ordered the soldiers Xiao Li and Xiao Feng to do everything possible to break out of the range of fire of the enemy puppet army, even if they were desperate, they should find the Lei Jian battalion commander in the area of Shahe Bridge and ask for reinforcements at full speed.
With the help of excellent weaponry and superiority in troops, the enemy puppet army quickly encircled the high ground on three sides, and one by one held guns and shouted to storm the Eighth Route Army on the high ground.
The soldiers of the Third Company of the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army, seeing that the enemy puppet army was getting closer and closer to the front of the position, turned red one by one, angrily threw grenades into the enemy group, and the two light machine guns spat out tongues of fire and swept towards the attacking enemy puppet army.
The squad leader of the devil's reinforcement force shouted to the devil Cao Chang who came out of the turret: "The fire of the Tuba Road on the high ground is very fierce, our scattered implementation of three-sided encirclement, immediately order the puppet army to attack from the left flank, a squad of imperial soldiers to attack from the right flank, my squad plus a squad of imperial soldiers, break through from the front, we must destroy this Tubalu army, kill ββγ β
The enemy puppet army readjusted its forces and launched a more fierce attack on the high ground.
Wang Xiaoliang found that the main forces of the devils were concentrated in the front, and he immediately adjusted the position and defense, the seventh platoon with the most combat effectiveness was deployed to meet the enemy in the front, and the sixth and eighth platoons were each divided into a squad to respond to the left flank and right flank, contain the enemy's firepower, and cover the main force to attack the enemy's strong attack from the front.
The little devil went crazy and took the most fierce firepower attack on the high ground, the enemy puppet army was almost close to the front of the position, Wang Xiaoliang ordered loudly: "All the light and heavy firepower, to flexibly and maneuverably attack the enemy puppet army rushing to the front, we must block the devil outside the position, wait for Battalion Commander Lei to lead the troops to reinforce us, and give me a hard beating." β
Lei Jian's cavalry team and a motorcycle, all the way to the rapid march, when approaching Zuojiazhuang, heard the sound of fierce gunfire on the high ground west of the village, he ordered the cavalry to rush over at full speed, must disrupt the deployment of the attacking enemy puppet army, and rescue the three companies led by Wang Xiaoliang who were trapped on the high ground.
The situation on the high ground is very grim, although the soldiers are brave enough to kill the enemy, but under the strong fire attack of the enemy puppet army, the position continues to have casualties, bullets, grenades, grenades are not many, if the reinforced Lei Jian troops, can not arrive in the shortest possible time, it is difficult for all the soldiers of the three companies to leave this high ground alive.
The enemy puppet army occupied the forward position of the third company of the independent battalion with a strong offensive, Wang Xiaoliang was already desperate for the reinforcements, he suddenly stood up and shouted with a rifle with a bayonet in both handsββγ β
Wang Xiaoliang took the lead in rushing out of the position and entering the enemy group, he shouted loudly while fighting with the enemy: "Lei Jian, my brother-in-law, you are my good brother, in this life I Wang Xiaoliang is a brother with you, I will wait for you when you get underground, you come quicklyββγ β
This bastard was red-eyed, and he didn't know if his shouting would hurt Lei Jian, he himself was killed in battle, and he was still shouting and waiting for Lei Jian underground, wasn't he looking forward to Lei Jian going underground to find him early?
Wang Xiaoliang didn't expect Lei Jian to die on the battlefield as soon as possible, but since he met Lei Jian, he survived several times, formed a blood-stained friendship, and became a good brother who exchanged his life for his life.
The soldiers of the third company saw their deputy battalion commander Wang Xiaoliang and shouted loudly into the enemy group, and they heard Wang Xiaoliang's shouting very tragically, and one by one they jumped out of the position with bayonets, bravely entered the enemy group, and fought the enemy in life and death with their own flesh and blood.
One fell, the other fighters fought even more bravely, and the little devil who killed retreated while fighting, and finally repelled the ninth attack of the enemy puppet army.
The soldiers saw that they had repelled the attack of the enemy puppet army, and one by one they were tired and fell on the position, some of them were already wounded, and they were tired and had no strength at all, and it was difficult to accumulate even the strength to bandage the wounds, so they watched the blood gurgling out of the wounds, and they wanted to sprinkle the blood of life on this high ground, hoping to water the bloody flowers.
Suddenly, the enemy launched the tenth attack, this time changing the strategy, with all his forces into a frontal attack, in a vain attempt to force the Eighth Route Army on the high ground to withdraw from the flanks or from the rear, so that the Eighth Route Army would be divided and surrounded on the plains to achieve the final total annihilation.
Zheng Tie saw that the enemy's main force was all concentrated in the front of the high ground, and the soldiers who suppressed the fire could not raise their heads, and he said to Wang Xiaoliang, who commanded the battle: "Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, the firepower of the frontal attack of the enemy and the puppet army is too strong, and our third company can't block the attack of the devils at all. β
"Bastard, do you think the devil commanders are all stupid? Once we are forced to abandon our positions and retreat to the plains, we will be hunted and killed by the enemy puppet army like rounding up lambs. β
Zheng Tie heard Wang Xiaoliang say this, and admired this kid for the first time in his heart, don't look at the Jiaodong Military and Political Cadre School, he has only studied for two or three months, this stinky boy is really good, and he can see the battle situation in front of him so clearly, it is really not bad.
The speed of the enemy's puppet army's attack this time accelerated, trying to make this the last attack, and it was necessary to take the high ground and destroy the Tubalu who was holding the high ground.
The soldiers of the third company of the independent battalion have already seen that this is their last battle with the enemy, and after this battle, they do not know where their souls will go, but they hope that they can always follow their company, and watch their brothers bravely kill the little devils.
Wang Xiaoliang saw that the enemy puppet army rushed up, he tightened the equipment on his body, stood up bravely with a rifle, and shouted: "Soldiers of the third company, we have reached the most dangerous time, in order to kill more little devils, follow me to kill devilsββγ β
The soldiers once again slaughtered into the enemy group, and on the high ground the enemy and the enemy fought together, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the screams continued, and the soldiers of the third company fell one by one in the fight under the unfavorable situation of being outnumbered by the enemy, and they had to stab their bayonets at the enemy even if they had their last breath left.
At this critical moment of extreme danger, a cavalry brandished a saber and rushed into the enemy group attacking the high ground.
The leader of the devil squad suddenly felt that the team behind him was in chaos, and he heard the neighing of the war horses again, and shouted in surprise when he looked back: "Yanxi, the cavalry reinforcements of the imperial army, we will soon capture the ...... of the Tuba Road." β
He suddenly paused and shouted, "Baga, why are the Imperial Army cavalry slashing my soldiers, bastards, these crazy people. β
A Cao Chang rushed to the leader of the devil squad with a bloodstained face, and shouted loudly: "Report to Your Excellency the captain, a Tubalu cavalry pretending to be the imperial army rushed in from outside the high ground, killing the imperial army soldiers and defeating our ......." β
The devil Cao Chang was reporting to the team leader, when suddenly two war horses rushed through the enemy group and killed him.
The leader of the devil squad raised his gun and aimed at the thunder sword that rushed in front, and the 'snap' was a shot, the bullet flew out of the chamber, and flew straight towards the thunder sword.
