Chapter 401: The Cruelty of War

After Xue Yue received Li Zongren's order, he immediately wrote a telegram to Hu Bin and handed it to Li Zongren to read.
Li Zongren read it, thought for a while, and said: "It is estimated that when Hu Bin sees this telegram later, he will send it to Yan'an, and Yan'an will definitely go to the commander to negotiate, so let's send one to our headquarters as well, and send our considerations too!" ”
"Good!" Xue Yue nodded.
"Okay, come on, order the troops of the 73rd Army, give me to recapture the position of Sanjie Bridge at all costs, how many casualties, how much I will supplement him, we must take the position before dark, otherwise, when the devils stabilize the position, our entire defense line will collapse!" Li Zongren shouted, and a staff officer came in and began to record the telegram.
"Yes!" After the staff officer finished writing, he handed it to Li Zongren for signature, and after signing it, he went to send it to the 73rd Army.
And on the side of the 73rd Army, the death squad is still storming the position that the devils have just occupied. But it didn't work, the first wave of 1,000 death squads went up to fight for half an hour, and the whole army was wiped out, but it also gave the devils a lot of casualties.
There are not many troops that the devils occupy the position of Sanjie Bridge, it is a wing, and the fight just now is very strong, and the casualties of that wing are not small.
"Brothers, our position is lost, the command ordered, no matter what price we pay, we must recapture the position, I know, many brothers have families, children, daughters, and parents, once sacrificed, the family grieves, but if those devils are allowed to stabilize the position, our whole army, we are behind. There are also hundreds of thousands of troops on the side, who will directly face the impact of the devils.
Brethren, we have no way out, there is an ocean here, 200 oceans for one person, you take it. If you are alive, take the ocean back, and if you are sacrificed, I will be responsible for sending it back to you.
Brethren, we have to use our flesh and blood to tell the devils that China can not be captured by their little land! If you are willing to go up, come and get the money! "A regimental commander of the 73rd Army, standing in front of the soldiers of his own regiment. shouted at the soldiers.
Just now they also saw that another regiment had dispatched a death squad of 1,000 people, and none of them came back after fighting for half an hour. And their division commander stood beside that regimental commander and looked at those fighters in front.
"Division commander, regiment commander, send us back!" At this time, a company commander stood up with a gun. Behind the regimental commander.
"Send it back!" Many fighters also followed, standing behind their regimental commander. Soon. The soldiers of the whole regiment all stood up.
"Okay, okay, I, Li Song, swear to the brothers, I will definitely send you back this money, brothers. Get ammo! The division commander saw it, turned around, looked at the soldiers behind him, and said loudly.
The whole regiment, now there are 1,800 people left. All of them are on board, and their regimental commanders will also take the troops up.
As the division commander's words fell, the soldiers of the logistics department brought the ammunition, and the soldiers grabbed the ammunition they needed in the ammunition box and put it in the ammunition bag.
"Division commander, I'm leaving, don't worry, our regiment will definitely recapture our position!" The regiment commander saw that all his soldiers had received all the ammunition, and when he came to the side of the division commander, he stopped and said.
"Okay, okay, rest assured your family, the brothers will take care of it!" The division commander patted his regiment commander and nodded with tears in his eyes.
"Take care!" The regimental commander nodded, then turned around and shouted, "Brothers, go!" ”
Soon, the soldiers of the entire regiment began to walk in the direction of the devil, and when they reached the position occupied by the devil, the soldiers also began to rush towards the devil in three scattered lines.
"Kill!"
"Da Da Da!"
"Boom, boom, boom!" The devils above the position saw that someone rushed up from below, and immediately opened fire, and in front of the entire position, bullets and grenades flew everywhere.
"Da Da Da!" The heavy machine gunners of that regiment kept firing, and when they were hit, the other heavy machine gunners would rush over, pick up, and continue to suppress the fire.
"Dada-da-da!"
"We want to support, we want to support! Baga, now we can't stand it anymore, we don't have many soldiers in our wing anymore! One of the devil's liaison staff officers took the phone and shouted loudly.
"Baga, when will the reinforcements arrive, why haven't they come yet!" The wing commander was in the trench and asked his staff officer, and at this moment, in his head, bullets flew with a shuttle.
"Kill!" The soldiers under the mountain, holding their guns, rushed up while shooting, and the fallen soldiers, if they could still shoot, would continue to shoot at the devils on the mountain, covering their comrades to rush up!
"Heavy machine guns, heavy machine guns suppress, suppress!" A company commander rushed to a distance of less than 50 meters from the devils, but the devils' heavy machine guns and rifles were also fired at them.
He lay on the ground with more than a dozen fighters, not daring to move, and now they need heavy machine guns to suppress the fire of the devils.
"Suppress!"
"Dada-da-da!"
"Rush!" The company commander saw that the devil was suppressed, and shouted loudly.
The soldiers all got up and continued to rush forward, but after rushing less than 30 meters, a grenade from the devil blew up the company commander.
"Rush!" The platoon commander in the back couldn't take care of his company commander at this time, so he could only continue to rush with the soldiers.
However, the platoon commander was also hit less than 10 meters from the position, and the other platoon commander jumped into the trench occupied by the devils with the soldiers.
"Kill!"
After the platoon commander stabbed a devil to death with a bayonet, he was also stabbed by a devil in the back.
"Ahh The platoon commander felt that he couldn't do it, so he picked up the two grenades on his waist and pulled them out.
"Boom!" A few devils who approached nearby were blown out of the trench in one fell swoop.
"Kill!" Soon, more and more fighters rushed to the trenches with bayonets and began to fight bayonets on the trenches.
"Rush up, brothers, rush me!" At this time, another regiment commander at the bottom of the mountain saw the brother troops rushing up, and immediately commanded his own troops and began to rush up the mountain.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the entire regiment rushed forward with rifles and bayonets.
"Good, good!" The division commander below saw that his troops had rushed forward and shouted loudly.
Half an hour later, the position was recaptured, but in the whole process of recapture, 2 regiment commanders, 2 regimental chiefs of staff, 4 battalion commanders, 5 battalion staff officers, 2 regiments a total of 24 companies, 20 companies participated in the operation, all 20 company commanders were sacrificed, and there were still 3 platoon commanders left.
The troops participating in the charge totaled 2,800 people, and in the end less than 300 remained, and the rest were all killed.
At this time, the 73 troops, under the charge of the death squad, recaptured their positions, and the division commander who organized the death squad, at this time, sat on the trench and looked at the remains of the soldiers on the way to the charge, and a staff officer came to the division commander and shouted: "Division commander!" ”。
"What's the matter?" The division commander asked.
"The army commander asked you to report the list of death squad brothers, and the military department will prepare a pension!" The staff officer spoke.
"Our 1st Regiment, 3rd Regiment, the whole regiment is a death squad! Give them the list of two regiments! The division commander stood up, looked at the remains of the brethren below, sighed, jumped out of the trench, and walked towards the temporary headquarters set up by the division headquarters.
"Report, the devil's reinforcements are coming, a wing!" A staff officer ran over.
"Hit the fuck, report something, it's a hit!" The division commander shouted angrily.
His division, which participated in the battle for 3 days, had a total of 16,000 people, and now there are less than 6,000 left, which is no longer as good as a brigade.
The battle on this side continues, and on other defensive positions, such a scene is often staged, in order to seize a lost position, a battalion and a regiment of soldiers fall on the way to seize the position!
Many division commanders were in pain and cried, but in the end, they could only calmly command the troops to fight, and there were no more troops, so they took the guard company to go up in person.
And many army commanders, when they saw the battle damage report, took the battle damage report and covered their faces and cried bitterly, all of them were young people, many of them had not yet reached the age of 18, they didn't understand what life was, so they fell on the battlefield, but after crying, they still had to continue to command the war!
And Hu Bin, who was on Yang Lin's side, Hu Bin, who was surrounded by devils, also saw Li Zongren's telegram.
"Commander, you haven't spoken for half an hour!" A staff officer came to Hu Bin's side, looked at Hu Bin and said, just now Hu Bin stared at the telegram and read it for half an hour.
"Whew! Call the chief of staff, the commissar here! Hu Bin exhaled and said to the staff officer.
"Yes!" When the staff officer heard this, he went out, and after a while, Li Tianxing and Li Nian came in.
"What's the matter, I heard from the staff officer that you read the telegram sent by Li Zongren, and read it for half an hour, what happened?" Li Tianxing sat down and said to Hu Bin.
Hu Bin didn't speak, but handed the telegram to Li Tianxing and Li Nian for them to read for themselves.
"This, this!" Soon, Li Tianxing and Li Nian finished reading it, and the two of them were also shocked by the content of the telegram.
"The front line is tight." Hu Bin said.
When Li Tianxing heard Hu Bin say this, he immediately calmed down and continued to read the telegram. Li Nian saw Li Tianxing like this, and also looked at the telegram again!
After they finished reading it several times, Hu Bin said: "If you have any ideas, you can say them!" ”
"We are now surrounded by 3 divisions, and the risk of a successful breakthrough is too great. It's almost impossible. Li Nian said to Hu Bin, he didn't know the plan that Hu Bin and Li Tianxing discussed.
"Xiaobin, find a way to sneak out at night and I'll lead the troops to break through!" Li Tianxing looked at Hu Bin and said firmly. (To be continued.) )
