Chapter 182: The First Battle of Chihe (1)

It was already very cold, and after a snowfall, the mountains were white all over the mountains, although this white color would not exist for a long time, but it still caused trouble to the 809th Regiment of the Gui Army fortified along both sides of the Chi River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Gui army came from the south, and although they had already put on cotton clothes, they still made the soldiers feel the cold.

The regiment commander, Zhanto, was standing in the front-line command post at this time.

His command post was located on a small, gently undulating plateau with mountains in the background.

He remembered a conversation he had with a soldier when he was inspecting the troops.

Ask him himself, "Is it cold?" ”

The soldier said "cold"

I said, "There is something more important than cold, that is, to fight devils and block the Japanese Sato detachment"

The soldier saluted and said, "Yes, sir!" He continued to lie back on the edge of the cold trench and stare ahead.

Zhantou was very satisfied with his attitude as a soldier.

Cold is cold, there is no need to deceive yourself.

But, at the same time, Zhanto also knew that if he ordered this soldier to lie in the snow like this for a day, he would still say that it was cold, but he would also carry out his orders to the letter, even if he froze himself!

This is his own soldiers, they are all brought out from their hometowns, the vast majority of them are simple and kind peasants, they are more able to abide by the discipline of the army, and his soldiers do not disturb the people.

He remembered a report in Ta Kung Pao not long ago, which was written by a reporter named Fan Changjiang.

Just after the troops were stationed in Chihe Town, a soldier stood at the door of a house without rain gear, drenched in the rain and snow.

The owner of the house invited him into the house to take shelter from the rain, but Gui Bing refused.

The owner insisted on inviting him into the house for a bowl of hot tea.

The soldier had no choice but to go into the house and drink hot tea, and when he went out, he met his officer.

The magistrate asked him why he had come into the house and disturbed the people.

The soldier explained that the officer did not believe him and wanted to punish him.

At this time, the owner of the house heard a voice outside and hurriedly explained, and the soldier was exempted from punishment.

This soldier is his Zhanteng's soldier, Zhanteng feels a little proud on the one hand, and on the other hand, he feels that there is nothing to be proud of, because he himself does this!

Then he heard the sound of cannons, which came from the other side of the river, and he knew that he was distracted.

He looked ahead of the small plateau, and there was a thin black band in the white mountains, which was the Chi River.

He picked up the telescope and looked across the river, and although the telescope was magnified enough, he could only see the smoke from the shelling on the other side of the river.

He understood that the shelling was a prelude to the Japanese attack, and that the three companies on the other side of the river would withstand the fourth frenzied attack of the Japanese army.

Fighting against the odds is a taboo for soldiers, but Zhan Teng can only do so.

According to the order of Shangfeng's troops to gradually put into resistance to avoid fighting to the death, his regiment had already exchanged hands with the Japanese army in Chuxian, and he decisively ordered to retreat after losing a platoon, the Japanese firepower was too fierce, and he had to avoid the enemy's edge.

On the other side of the river, the favorable terrain was a final battle, because the policy of delaying the Japanese army on the Chihuai line was established.

Otherwise, what about staying on this side of the river? Can't the Japanese artillery fire hit it? The order he gave to the three companies was that after holding out for one day, the 824th Regiment could withdraw if it went to change its defense, and he could only do so if he wanted to consume the enemy and save himself.

……

"Let the platoons report casualties!" Liu Fuman shouted as he turned around and leaned against the trench.

His face had turned to a muddy face, caused by the blast and the melting slush.

This time the devil's attack was repulsed, and next time it's time to get into the tank.

Liu Fuman, a company commander of the 809th Regiment of the 31st Army, was also one of the three company commanders sent by the regiment commander Zhan Teng to the other side of the Chihe River to block the attack.

The three companies each occupied a small high ground, echoing each other in the shape of a pinzig, and Liu Fuman's company was on the mouth where the pinzi was most prominent, so it was the first to bear the brunt of the attack by the Japanese army.

The signal corps quickly reported the casualties, and more than 40 people had already been killed or wounded, and seeing that one of their platoons was almost gone, whether they could hold out until dark, the situation was not optimistic.

The position was busy, and the stretcher team formed by nearby villagers was rushing down to transport the wounded.

The ammunition supply is not enough, this work is all deployed by the battalion, Liu Fuman thought that he was waiting to send someone to urge him, and he heard someone shouting, "The devil tank is coming!" ”

He leaned on the edge of the trench and looked down, and sure enough, in the distance, a devil's tank was rushing towards his position, followed by infantry in yellow uniforms.

"Demolition, get ready!" He shouted.

The so-called demolition group is the soldier and the cluster grenade, the soldier holding the grenade bundled together when the person and ammunition are separated, and the grenade tied to the soldier is the one where the person and ammunition are combined.

In the first battle between Chuxian and the Japanese army, they were overwhelmed by the Japanese tanks, and finally a soldier holding a cluster grenade sacrificed himself under the tank to blow up the tank, and was able to withdraw from the battle.

"The flag calls for the two flanks to suppress the devil infantry!" He then shouted.

The heavy machine gun on the tank of the "Tutututu" devil began to shoot, so that the soldiers on Liu Fuman's position could not raise their heads.

Almost at the same time, the machine guns and rifles of the two companies on the high ground on both flanks also rang out, trying to separate the Japanese tanks from the infantry, creating an opportunity for Liu Fuman to get close to him and blow up the tanks.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss" The Japanese grenadiers also fired, but only at the positions on both flanks, and soon, the gunfire from the flanks became sparse, and the supporting fire of the national army was suppressed.

"It's broken!" Liu Fuman knew that if the Japanese tanks and infantry were not separated, the price paid for bombing the tanks would be too great!

The Japanese army is good at attacking in the middle and flanks in a roundabout tactic, but because this time the three companies of the Gui Army successfully restrained the Japanese army's detour by adopting a zigzag formation, the Japanese army actually changed its fighting style, suppressed the two flanks of the national army with superior artillery fire, and the tanks covered the infantry to break through directly in the middle, which is to make full use of their firepower advantage, and also to bully the Chinese defenders without mortars and other curved artillery Tasha.

The Japanese tanks were getting closer and closer, and the rumbling sound could already be heard, and if the Japanese troops covered by the tanks were close to their positions, it would be a nightmare for their own company.

Before he could give the order, two soldiers with grenades strapped to them jumped out of the trench and tried to approach through the viewing window of the tank, but were shot down by the Japanese soldiers who were closely following the tank.

He was about to order the Demoman to go up again, when he heard a scream of "hiss" pass behind his head

Grenadiers again! There are Japanese troops behind them?! He was shocked! (To be continued.) )
